To me, this comment highlights a complete misunderstanding and misrepresentation of landlord's motivations and interests that results in the publication of biased, slogan-riddled "research" like the submission.

> I think it's a perverse display of greed, opulence and power and a driver of inequality that someone is entitled to a major portion of their tenant's paycheck every month.

Generally, landlords don't feel entitled to a major portion of their tenant's paycheck every month. In fact, landlords want as little of their tenant's paycheck every month, because the higher that percentage is, the higher the likelihood the tenant will have issues paying the rent at some point during the lease.

Rents are generally set through market forces, not determining how much of an individuals paycheck can be extracted from them.

> I don't believe someone should be able to generate an income from something they have or have acquired like a house or an inheritance instead of something they do, in the way of actual work.

People shouldn't be able to use tools or implements of any kind to generate income? Maintaining a habitable property is work, though it can be infrequent and is commonly irregular.

> I don't believe it is a fair exchange of goods

Why not? People are exchanging money for a good (housing) which is no more essential than food or water, yet I don't see activists organizing to abolish grocery stores or farms.

> and I don't believe it's a particularly good way to distribute them either considering the sheer number of people who are homeless

People are generally homeless due to issues other than landlords. There is ample support for sheltering the homeless (though I'd like to see more), and almost all research indicates that the core issues with almost all homeless individuals is not a lack of supply of shelter.

> and the number of properties that lie empty simply because their owners believe they deserve to generate more passive income from them or just don't care enough.

And you wrap up with a statement that is solely based on some version of a landlord that easy for to you to hate, regardless of any relation to reality.

Your attitude is no better or more productive than those on the other end of the spectrum who vilify those who need assistance and base all their thoughts and opinions on insulting, inaccurate stereotypes of lower income households.
Both Spotify and Apple will have development and marketing costs.

I'm not arguing in favor of Spotify btw. I'm just saying if both services cost $10 per month on iOS, on the same number of users Apple will get $10 + $3 (from Spotify's %30) and Spotify will get $7. So Apple can actually sell it for $7 whereas Spotify can't. Obviously I'm over simplifying this.

Some could say that the main theme of the movie is "how to exploit a sad and emotional event (involving an orca trainer young woman killed by a whale, and her naive co-workers), to make money, get fame and earn awards" [1]. Not more, not less.

Unfortunately, the cut made by blaxfishploitation was deep and still bleeds today.

To start, Killer wales aren't reproduced in Sea World anymore [2]. This is bad, not good. There are less orcas in the planet.

The damage caused by this film to cetacean research, understanding, and conservation is irreversible. To study wild lions is one thing, to study wild cetaceans is a totally different one. Is much more difficult and field studies at open sea are really expensive. At this moment, we don't even know how many species of Killer whales remain in the planet.

Campaigns to release all captive whales proliferated forcing to the release to some whales by "humanitary" reasons, with the logical result of its death. Good job. Leaving your pooch in a forest so it can run free and make frienship with their brothers wolves, would achieve the same result.

At least one species of dolphin got extinct in our lifetime, something that didn't happened before in all the history of humanity. Other cetaceans are about to vanish forever and do you know what? We can not even talk about breeding cetaceans in captivity without being harassed and called assassins of babies, and Gabriela Cowperthwaite has some responsibility for that, in my opinion.

>I absolutely think parents should get a break during the pandemic. I think everyone should.

I am alone. I am completely alone. Completely socially isolated. And being expected to work 50 hours a week, as always, in my home. I get no extra time off. I get no allowances for a screaming kid in the background.

I THINK PARENTS SHOULD GET A BREAK. And I think everyone should equally.

Point-of-fact, only parents are the people in this thread demanding something and acting entitled and the fact that no one can respond to the arguments without resorting to name-calling just drives that point home.
I suspect it's because "hate speech" is not, in fact, a category of unprotected speech under US law. Most legal scholars agree with this point, including many who are absolutely not fans of hate speech, like Ken White of Popehat:

And Scala even uses the same keyword "sealed". Glad they took that on the Java side, and didn't change it just for change's sake. Maybe there are other languages that had a sealed keyword but again, with Java, they are clearly accepting as convention some of the things that Scala established, which is a good thing.

> But we should still have our rage. even in the face of anarchy. I think.

Revolutions are the worst possible move. They cause more harm than good and generally involve orgies of injustice and a swapping of a crusty old guard with an even worse power-hungry band of criminals and Jacobin savages. Typically, revolutions draw their monstrous energy from the envy of the haves rather than any kind of injustice. Even when inspired by a desire for justice, it come from a desire to immanentize the eschaton. This always ends badly.

Sometimes, it is better to suffer the shabbiness of a predicament. Building healthy communities and a healthy culture to suffocate the corrupt order with goodness is more constructive and ultimately stronger.

The point is that you shouldn't be able to sell or buy a $100 car that has a 50% chance of exploding every time you enter it. Or more to the point, you shouldn't be able to sell a shitty self driving system. The post I was responding to was basically saying "let the free market figure out which car has a better self driving system" which is a horrible way to go about it.
Another argument that largely hinges on calling me a name; amusing considering I'm normally considered the annoying-bleeding-heart-softie. And you know, the part where I said parents deserve a break in my reply that you ignored.

Parents deserve extra flexibility.

So do single people working from their bedrooms, 50 hours a week, thinking about alternatives to this existence regularly because they have literally nothing else going on and don't have the vacation to take to get away.

So do people in relationships who are trapped in tiny, tiny SF apartments with no room to breathe in, when OH ALSO, your city is constantly filled with the noise of sirens because your police department keeps gassing your neighborhood.

Everyone deserves extra flexibility right now. Acting like your kid is some exception while calling me entitled is something else.

I don't read much in this piece that can't be claimed in a similar form by prior generations. Boomers were also hated, especially "hippie" boomers, and also grew up on a hugely transformational media -- television. Gen-X was hated as eternal slackers and sarcastic do-nothings who also grew up on early forms the internet.

Millennials are also "hated" in these ways, also based on stereotypes and media portrayals. Really it isn't the age range people "hate", it's the lifestyle of a particular urban millennial with a particular life goals. When this generation is mocked, it usually isn't directed toward the guy born in 1990 in a small Midwest town who decided to hang sheetrock right after school, even though he falls squarely in this generation.
They're not. People can share whatever nonsense with one another that they like.

> hauling millions of bottles around the world

I haven't used a bottle of any sort for water for at least ten years. Not everyone has access to safe water, but billions do and billions more would if by not thinking we can fall back on bottles and therefore maintained cleaner water supplies.

We don't need alternatives for many things. Paper or plastic? Neither. I've shopped with the same bag since the 90s. Most beverages are marketing gimmicks we'd be happier, safer, and less polluting without -- same with most packaged food, children's toys, fast fashion, and so on.

Our sense of entitlement and disconnect with healthy living, nature, and how we used to live is killing us.

The US cannot win those because it is unwilling to do what is necessary (indiscriminate killing) to win.

I don't see much evidence for that in the history of warfare. For example, during WW1, the fortunes of the armies ebbed and flowed with the ebb and flow of who had the technical advantage in the air war.
Hi HN,

The idea to build TextSniper was born from my personal, trivial use-case. I was watching a YouTube video tutorial and on the video was a link I needed to paste into Terminal application. The link was quite long and the only option was to retype it. Then I thought, would not be great, if I just could draw a selection around this link on the video and turn it to typed text and then easily paste anywhere I need. No mistyping and the job is done in seconds.
Your post makes me think I should talk to a professional to check if I have ADHD.

Over the years I’ve read many things that hinted at it, but this is by far the most relatable thing I’ve ever read.

At basically any point in time I always have something that I’m massively obsessed about (and it’s usually something super weird, non-monetizable like you say). Everything else feels like an ugh field.

I could easily retire on $2M so I think it wouldn't be that hard to give away $1998M if I get to keep $2M. It's not like $2M is poor, given it's post tax it's like being able to live on a salary of $75k a year for 40yrs and, he likely owns a house already (or is that part of the $2M, though even if it is he can sell it and live off the money).

I'm not trying to downplay him in anyway. I'm just saying that $2M in the bank is still an extremely comfortable life so there is not much hardship to be had in giving up everything over that.

Also, as for donating anonymously vs non-anonymously I do it non-anonymously as trying to add social proof that you should donate. The more it appears normal to donate the more people will donate, or so I believe. If I could do that anonymously I would but people read me (my blog or other things), they don't read anon's blog/tweets, whatever.
Bill Gates III had a living parent? This blows my mind, thinking about the kinds of extended families one could have with that kind of lifespan! For comparison, I'm just over half Gates's age, and my father died of a treatable, chronic, and somewhat stigmatising disease, in a developing country, 15 years ago, and it seemed totally normal.
As I suspected, you have nothing but baseless insults and vague complaints to back up your opinion.

The downvoting is standard HN holier-than-thou moralizing, but I agree that it’s not really a valid comparison.

A military is, for better or worse, a necessary requirement for maintaining a society that won’t get taken advantage of by others. While it’s easy to point to “job is to kill people”, that’s a simplistic reduction and many who are in the military will not do so. As much as one can be all Kum-ba-ya and imagine a Utopia in which armed forces are not necessary, life doesn’t really work that way.

Facebook is a form of publicly consumed entertainment, but unchecked they will happily fuck with people’s minds for more clicks/revenue, and they absolutely should be held to a higher standard than they are.

The vehicle is designed to ultimately be a level 4 system. She effectively has the job of a test pilot of an experimental airplane. The job requires careful attention and is not easy.

There would be a different blame calculus if this were a production level 2 system like autopilot. In that case, it's not a paid test pilot, it would be the paid purchaser of a certified aircraft.
This is incorrect. In California at least, LLCs do not need to hold annual meetings.
Not related to the article, however the third paragraph of your comment touches on a controversial idea, so I'll add another perspective.

On the idea of sacrifice as virtuous.

Sacrifice is only compatible with selfishness. This is because for an action to be a sacrifice, there is two criteria in which it must meet.

The first criteria are that the individual must love themselves.

She who has no value of her own life, cannot sacrifice it, just as she could not sacrifice a rock found in a cave. Vice versa, an individual which holds her own life as immensely valuable, is able to sacrifice it for an ideal, however this leads to the second criterion.

The second criteria are that the individual must hold no value in the ideal or cause in which they contribute towards.

This is because if you hold something as valuable, and you give it up for something of equal or greater value, you are not sacrificing, but rather trading.

Each trade has its own currency, and what that is I leave to the reader to investigate, but sacrifice is only possible for the woman that loves herself and does not hold any value in the ideal in which she sacrifices herself for.

Thus, if you do see virtue in sacrifice, it is only possible because of selfishness, and this is problematic.
> I reject the OSI's claim to have authority over what "open source" means. We do not have a rigorous definition of what open source means beyond the source code is freely available.

I'm genuinely sympathetic, in that it rubs me a little bit the wrong way to say that one organization can define "open source". In practice, however, the only people I've ever seen actually arguing this are people trying to pretend that their license is open source when it really isn't.

Courts in a variety of states have “pierced the veil” of a single-member LLC from the outside and have held that it is not a separate entity and thus may not be used to protect the assets of the LLC from the creditors of the member.

You get liability protection, yes, but not as much as you would if you had one more member. The veil can be pierced for various reasons, so to reduce risk you want to minimize those reasons as much as possible.
Your objection falls flat. We can definitely analyze everybody else’s behavior another time - it’s not relevant here and only serves to distract.

This one person had a huge fortune and explicit goals to spend it in efficacious charities.

From that point of view, this particular story is one of exorbitant waste and missed opportunity, the magnitude of which should stupefy people.

We’re not talking about some other joe schmoe who failed to be as ascetic as possible - that’s just rhetorical deflection. We’re talking about this particular instance of egregious waste.

Your comment is like if some heard about the Deepwater Horizon spill and replied, “everything looks like waste or hazards if you measure every cubic milliliter of spilled oil, can’t we just given them a break for trying to harvest it and do something with it?”
Nobody is talking about that here; this is about people being generous with their own.
