Given IPFS is a protocol (think BitTorrent) and doesn't have any kind of token, your accusation that only "crypto speculators" use it outs you as not being particularly charitable here. I think if you look into it you'll find it's pretty useful.

I've personally used it for storing large binaries outside of git. My build process requires using some binaries and fetching them by hash is much better than fetching them from some url.
Gold investors (like myself) assume that The Fed can only stimulate further in order to stave off deflation...but (crucially) with no hope of raising rates later, even in the face of the inevitable resulting inflation.

A rise in rates would simply crater everyone who has come along with The Fed so far - virtually all consumers and corporations holding high levels of debt. In such an environment of obvious inflation and Fed paralysis, gold could go much, much higher.
By the evidence, they are just almost completely wrong.

Modern life is not much like what we evolved in, but that many people do fine in it shows that environment is not determinative.
What standalone 6DOF headset with 6DOF controllers existed in the market in 2019 besides the Quest? Or now? I certainly can’t think of one?
I wasn't attacking you with an ad-hominem, I'm sorry it seemed like that. I was honestly asking why you're so bothered about bikes. You have a lot of reasons, but I don't understand your overall thrust or point.

> and diverting the talk about cars instead.

You keep saying this over and over and over, yet I keep pointing out consistently that I'm primarily focused on bikes vs cars, and primarily responding to your comment here, which compared bikes to cars, and didn't even mention walking. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24186001 You somehow don't even see you're the one moving the goal post.
It's 100% possible to play with all the emulators running on the same computer. I worked my way through most of game with multiple players. There was a little bit of input lag but not too bad (and the game is pretty forgiving). If you have a couple friends who are into LoZ games I definitely recommend it.

We also just embraced screen-peeking as everything was up on the same screen for everyone to see.

https://i.imgur.com/pnhyEjS.png

It was definitely a bit of a pain to set up each time. Something like a batch script that automates setting the emulators to a known-good config, configuring the controls, opening up the emulators, and starting the game would be possible and would make it a lot easier.
You’ve cherry picked the one bad yearwalmart has had in recent memory: 2019. From 2006 to 2020 they have made over 10 billion per year except for 2018 (9ish billion) and 2019 (6ish). They CAN afford to pay their staff a living wage.

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/WMT/walmart/net-in...

Again, by describing the choice as bad job (walmart) or no job, you are ignoring the fact that walmart did not CREATE jobs - they merely consolidated jobs from many small businesses.

It’s not a choice between walmart or nothing. It’s a choice between an exploitive business model, or non-exploitive business models.

Whatever people think about this tax, I think it is basically immoral. This is why:

- people say it is good because it brings more money for the government to spend and wealthy people have money, so they are the easy target to get money from. That makes them just an obvious victim, not the right thing to do. It's a thug mentality to pick the old lady as a victim because it's the easy thing to do.

- it is discriminating. To the extreme, if the country has X needs divided by Y people, each person should pay X/Y to cover it. One man, one vote, égalité, fraternité, whatever slogan you want to use means equal rights but equal responsibilities too.

- it comes with the justification that the (US or Cali, I am in Europe so I am out of it) government needs more money. That is the rapist argument, someone's needs does not imply someone else's obligation to fulfill the needs.

- it comes with the justification that it can be done legally by voting. That is the group rapist's argument, no matter how many people vote it does not make it automatically morally right.

- it justifies that the result will be better services. Well, if money is what is needed for better services then why not put a direct payment for the services? Some people would not afford it, so going for someone else to pay for it will make it possible ... not morally right.

- the argument that a filthy rich person can pay and still be filthy rich. That is very true, but it is still morally wrong to take someone's money (or wealth or whatever) just because they can afford the loss or they have plenty. My neighbor have several bicycles, does it means it is fine if I take one?
"If people don't pay for a company's products, that company will go out of business."

The problem is that capitalism has broken down.

20% of publicly traded companies are zombies. Their earnings are below what they need to pay INTEREST on their debt.

Government is bailing out inefficient companies, whose assets would otherwise be sold off to more efficient operators.

I can recommend the Nvidia Shield [0] as an alternative to dealing with the Samsung firmware. I bought it after seeing it recommended here on HN. It's snappy, it has the apps that I care about (Plex, Youtube, and various Australian public on-demand channels). Also it pretty much just works. It turns on together with the tv and you basically don't have to deal with anything Samsung at all anymore. It has some gaming capabilities but I never tried those and don't care.

Presumably a worker-owned cooperative would fall under 2c and 3.

>2c. An organization of people that seeks shared profit for all its members and does not exploit the labor of non-members

>3. If the User is an organization with owners, then all owners are workers and all workers are owners with equal share.
That statement is good enough legal terminology. What makes you say otherwise? They just didn't define members, which are clearly - to me - the people with membership interests in an Limited Company, along with the managing member. Or shareholders in a Corporation.

I have no comment on the rest of the clauses so to anyone passing by, don't base any response to me as if I have an opinion.
And I responded to your arguments, word for word.
>No-one is saying that regular Joe's with $800 in their savings account should be penalized for just letting them sit.

Does no one in this thread understand that there already exists wealth taxes in countries without explicit wealth taxes?

While many countries have explicit wealth taxes (Government agency that will demand you pay x on y), many (almost all) countries have wealth taxes that tax "regular Joe's with $800 in their savings account". The central bank in the USA literally has a charter to print enough money so that asset prices rise at a nominal 2%PA. If a central planner confiscates $16 in purchasing power from regular Joe does it matter if its done through direct taxation (taking the $16 dollars) or indirectly (printing enough money so that his future value of $800 will be only $784)?
Well, if you can manage it, the blast can be mostly linear.

I picture it like this: There's, say, a one degree angle between the trajectory of the ship and the trajectory of the fuel pallet. The explosion can happen arbitrarily far before their courses intersect. This means that the blast can be (arbitrarily far) * (sin 1 degree) away from the course of the rocket.

But that [Edit: the fuel pallet] transfers a small amount of sideways momentum to the rocket. To counter that, alternate fuel pallets from the left and the right.
That might be true, but it's not an "absurd suggestion." Amazon will sell you a Kindle for nearly 20% cheaper if you let it show you ads.

I saw an insurance company claiming that it uses satellite imagery (among other things) to “provide cheaper insurance” to homeowners.

Not sure if what they really mean is that they are trying to more accurately price it; who knows what unknown behavior might increase your premium since it’s associated with more claims... e.g. friends come over too often making too many cars parked? Higher premium.
Correct. And it's not negligible either at 2.5% per annum according to some sources.
That is pretty much the US experience also, most of grade and high school was spent copying information from projector slides onto paper. Guess it is an easy way to fill time, read everything off sentence by sentence, wait for everyone to stop writing, cover the sentences not being read so people who fall behind can’t catch up, and speed writers can’t get ahead.

I’m very envious of my son, in his classes they distribute the materials via Google drive and spend the class time in discussion and working out problems.
Thanks for the reply.

I came to post the same nit, in this context “members” is not defined. And taken at its extreme (assuming an intuitive definition), it could be argued that any organization “exploits” the labor of anyone else by participating in and benefiting from the economy as a whole, not to mention specific things like roads, schools, etc.

This section needs to be clarified, as is the license is perilously unusable.

Paying some pinning service is, architecturally, not much different than paying S3 to store your files.

Filecoin turns file storage into a marketplace, which is a significant improvement. Currently S3 charges a large premium because you wouldn't trust many other people to reliably hold on to your data. I expect this will cause the cost of file storage to plummet.

Your venture capital heuristic is a good one, but I think the rest of what we know about Filecoin overwhelms it.
It would be great if this could output a generated font file, which can then be used on the web etc.

> But please do not pretend that it is a free market, when Apple is literally suing people, for engaging in voluntary trade regarding devices that they own.

In a free market, if a company acts inadequately, you stop any interaction with it, you stop providing service to its customers, and go to its competitor or create your own competing platform, and try to get as many customers with you as you can.

Please do not pretend that the market is Apple alone, and that you have no other choice but to demand the government to take an action against the company whose policies and actions you don't approve of, it's a very infantile position to hold and it hurts the free market that you seem to care about. Free market has never meant "expect a fair play from everyone", it means that there's enough economic clout and capital out there to drive unfair competitors out. And if you appeal to the government's monopoly on physical coercion, you are not acting as a proponet of free markets.

I’m saying as a consumer of these libraries, I don’t want joiners, I want lots of different APIs that make different trade-offs for each use case, and I will write (or use) adapters if I need to (that’s my responsibility as a consumer).

Just because I personally either do or do not get some value out of a shared API standard doesn’t mean you do or do not, so personal feelings of what one likes need to be set aside, so the service boundary is at the level of consumers choosing their own adapters and making their own trade-offs.

If lots of libraries sign up, we all lose. Much slower compliance-constrained development cycles, less freedom for libraries to break the shared API contract in ways many users would be super happy to abide for the sake of a faster / better feature. Instead of making these trade-offs library by library, case by case, it’s made for you with standardization compliance as the highest constraint, regardless of the user base for which that does / doesn’t work well.
Why "wealth tax"? Why not "income boost" by taking some % (20%? 50%? 80%?) of the dividends and dividing it equally to the people who work there as well as pay their salary.

The company does well - you get a bonus!
The company does not so well - no bonus, you better work smarter/harder/different.

1. Motivation directly tied to productivity.
2. Team/community feel when you "win".
3. CEO really IS working for you!
4. Less money for the rentiers. But they still get money.
5. More money for "the workers".
6. Still get your salary to distinguish between high value and less value jobs.
7. Still can buy shares in whichever company floats your boat, including your own.

Clearly, the job market and the share market would change significantly in how they value things and new ways to abuse things would emerge (people working many "full time" jobs at once?) but I can't see how it would be worse.

Ultimately, take some money from the "rentiers". People who make money because "they own something" not because "they do something". Rentiers are non-productive leeches on society.

Foreclosures take time, and you have a roof over your head during all of that. And the government frequently bails out homeowners. Renters have no protection.
You don't put your home up for sale in a falling market unless you understand where the market rate is headed - your realtor will surely discuss this early on. Home owners who "hold the line" on their home value don't have a FOR SALE sign posted during a recession! For those that are selling in a dismal market, they have surely accepted the new market dynamics. Look at it from a buyer's perspective - there's just no reason to overpay.

Let’s take a hashed IP address.There are 4.3B ipv4 addresses. So a few minutes on an old laptop to generate a rainbow table. With decent hardware it would be seconds.

If profit is shared, it's not profit the organization can use as a buffer. The organization itself requires profit. That profit cannot be distributed without putting continuity of the organization at risk.
