No. You are misrepresenting pretty much everything you're talking about. No one ever suggested avoiding medical care if you had symptoms of severe infection that would normally require hospitalization. YouTube is only saying they will remove videos with misinformation, such as recommending viewers avoid medical treatment for COVID, which is perfectly reasonable and not consistent with your conspiratorial tone.
> If you feel attribution is important, choose a license that makes it legally binding.

Some of us think copyright is unfair and we want to use it as little as possible. That means using MIT or BSD licenses.

That doesn't mean we are against attribution. We are only against the use of coercion to get attribution.

We can say "It would be nice if you give attribution" without saying "I'm going to use my legal rights to coerce you into giving me attribution"
What about the new Amazon Intern who finds an awesome open source project.

She now gets fired because open source means open only for some.

The main value add is AWS is hosting it. Amazon isn't being an angel, they could of easily given the author a solid 20k donation as a thank you. Apart of releasing MIT or Apache licensed code is knowing someone else might take it and make millions.

If you want to restrict your software usage you can use GPL.

The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle (1969) provides a "never ascribe to malice" explanation.

Another explanation: those who hyperoptimise for efficiency get what they pay for.
"What we've institutionalized is run to failure: we'll just keep doing more of what's failed spectacularly until the entire status quo collapses in a fetid heap of greed, self-interest and gross incompetence."

This is buried toward the end of the article but I think it's a big statement with massive consequences for many practical issues.
> 1984 is a cautionary tale about communism but it applies to authoritarianism in general. A very left leaning state is simply going to have less people equipped to teach this lesson well than a right leaning state. It's really, really hard to do a good job teaching something that is ideologically uncomfortable.

This thing. There is nothing ideologically uncomfortable about 1984 for pretty much anyone in both NYC suburbs and Virginia.
>I’m not disagreeing with that, and I’m also aware that as a private company, whatever they do with their website isn’t an infringement upon first amendment rights. I’m just bristling at the parent comment who seemed to be saying that in our new AI-driven world, free speech is no longer an intrinsically valuable thing.

Those are all good points.

I didn't understand GP to be claiming that ML algorithms trump free speech, which may explain why we're actually in violent agreement WRT YouTube's recommendation algorithms.

I'd note that I avoid the big social media sites like the plague, and not even primarily for the toxic atmosphere. Rather, I find the business model to be inherently cynical, exploitative and destructive of communities (cf. sites like nextdoor.com).

As long as the incentives (maximization of advertising dollars) favor pushing for ever higher engagement, the cycle that creates increasingly fine-tuned filter bubbles and "targeted" advertising, we're going to see less focus on free expression from large corporations, because their primary goal is to maximize profit.

I believe that this model will eventually collapse and be replaced (with something better or worse, I don't know) with a different one. My concern is in the damage that this will do to our discourse and societal cohesion in the meantime.

Which points to larger problems with our economic model. Maximizing short-term profit is fetishized as all-important, regardless of potential downsides[0]. That focus legitimizes predatory behavior based on the (incorrect) idea that captialism is necessarily a zero-sum game.

This distorts the economy and the culture, pitting us against each other in surprising (and very destructive) ways.

I am most certainly not advocating that we abandon capitalism, as its had a largely positive effect on health, wealth, technological advancement and a host of other areas.

Rather, I believe we need to change the incentives around markets to encourage a broader, fairer capitalism that creates increased prosperity for everyone, rather than those already at the top.

[0] From a long-term perspective, focusing primarily on short-term extraction of value from the economy is self-defeating. Primarily because our economy's success is based on consumer spending (~70% of the US' GDP is consumer spending). Through wage suppression, rent-seeking and (a good thing) automation, we're reducing the ability of larger and larger segments of the population to contribute to that 2/3+ of the economy. If unchecked, we'll eventually get to the point where wealth and income are so concentrated that we won't be able to sustain that model and everyone will lose.

Because there are only so many pairs of jeans, lava lamps, snow globes, raisins, cars, houses or pizza pies that any one individual or household can use.

This argues for a much broader distribution of economic resources (wages, access to capital, safety nets, infrastructure, etc., etc., etc.) than we have now. This could provide enormous benefits to those who have the least and, in the long-term, those who have the most.

Beyond that, it can create a stronger, more resilient economy for everyone.
An app store? A service that automatically takes your site and turns it into a SciterJS app?
I find this kind of usage frightening. I honestly think that a message history of longer than a week encourages poor organisation to such a degree that daily operation is significantly and silently hampered.
Please check the HN guidelines (bottom of page). This site is about curiosity, not about shallow dismissals.
Sure, but this is a situation about social norms rather than passive aggressive employer behavior.

Typically when a product or service is released, if it's built significantly upon something else, you at least throw out a quick acknowledgement. Sure, it's not the law, it's just polite/kind/whatever nice word you prefer to use.

All sorts of communities have various 'norms' of this nature which you are totally entitled to ignore but that doesn't mean they're not there.

I don't know why you are being downvoted. Personally I consider Electron to be cancer but this comment is very informative and raises some very valid points. For some reason it is 2020 and there is no fully qualified solution for cross platform desktop application development. Every option has massive downsides, gotchas, rough edges and limitations.
Isn't there a requirement to acknowledge the original author for all copyrighted work, no matter how permissive the license is? That is, the only way to not make it a requirement is to put the work in the public domain, and in some countries, it is not even an option.

That is, how can you know who the copyright holder is if you don't do that?

Considering that not all projects are littered with (c) Stack Overflow User, I may have the wrong idea, but it is definitely something I have seen somewhere. I am not a lawyer, obviously.
Hi HN,

Creator of Rumin here. It is not a polished product, but I think the community would find the concept interesting: https://getrumin.com/

Rumin is a combination of free-form drawing (create page blocks anywhere on the Canvas) and a flexible knowledge representation (undirected connections, hierarchical collections, and backlinks).

I am going for a free-form and spatial medium like paper, with the ease of edit and retrieval of a digital format.
The way I currently use Rumin looks something like this:

- Always leave one Canvas tab open, and use it as my "mission control": Brain dump, random thoughts, and journal entries go here. And I use a different Canvas for each thinking context or topic.

- Start a new Canvas for each research, brainstorming, or learning session.

- Hide the pages from the Canvas whenever I'm done to declutter. They can be re-inserted (via search, along with the connected blocks) in any Canvas.

- Use the search bar, "related content" section, and the "fetch suggestions" to retrieve existing thoughts and reuse my previous work

It also comes with an open source web clipper to capture content from web resources:
https://github.com/jhlyeung/rumin-web-clipper

And I plan on open sourcing more of the product in the coming weeks.

Would love to hear your thoughts, workflows, and use cases.
The reality is that playing any instrument with non-trivial competence is really fucking hard.

You're not joking either! I played trumpet when I was in MS/HS. Sure, you can play simple songs at your first concert after 3 months of playing - but it takes 3-5 years to get competent, not an expert mind you, but competent.

I started playing guitar as an older adult. Same story. You can start playing songs starting with lesson 1. This is great! Look at all the progress I'm making! I'm on year 7 now and I'm just starting to get to the point where I'd say yeah, I'm good. Not great, but good.

To your point, it takes a long time to master an instrument and no one has discovered a short cut. It's hard work.

On another note, once you appreciate the work it takes to not just become good but become great at playing an instrument then support those who've dedicated their lives to becoming great. Otherwise it's a skill humanity is going to lose over time and that would be really sad.

“Strong opinions, loosely held.” Sure, but why?
agree. but ideals dont always match up with reality.
This is an excellent point- as mentioned below, MIDI files do not take into account stuff like key, time signature, etc. , all of which are quite important to understanding a piece ; Western music notation is both incredibly dense and concise, with no information wasted.

Part of the art of practicing is the mental work of abstraction and internalization of the music - breaking it into smaller sections, understanding the key changes, seeing the broader rhythmic structure, etc. - if you don't have this and (more importantly) don't have a teacher to help guide you through this process, you're definitely going to hit a brick wall once things start to get woolly.

OS maps are invaluable for wilder areas (e.g. Scottish Highlands) but they seem pretty poor compared to OSM for low level walks here in Fife. The don't show a lot of paths, paths they do show don't really exist and often they show narrow paths as tracks.

Another weird thing that happens on OS maps is that some paths are shown on 1:50,000 maps but not on 1:25000!

Corn husks are inedible, so that shouldn't be surprising. A great deal of plant matter, in particular, is fibre or char or similar that will simply pass through.

If you want to reduce absorption, particularly of fat, there's some evidence increasing dietary fibre a bit will help with that.

But in general, calories in = calories in.

I am not sure I 100% agree that compliance is a outcome of incompetence. However I do agree that pretty much every company will hold onto an incompetent person until the money runs out.

In my world, compliance is about offsetting risks, sure there are plenty of risks involving incompetence, but that is only one of the issues you need to address. Putting the spotlight on incompetence is going to cause you to miss other significant issues in your organization.

Ultimately, lists and checking boxes are a long term solution to the classic "How do I do xyz?" "I dunno ask Bob he usually does that".

Look at the timeline, people:

> In a trial in China over February–March 2020, remdesivir was not effective in reducing the time for improvement from COVID‑19 or deaths, and caused various adverse effects, requiring the investigators to terminate the trial. [1]

> On 17 March 2020, Didier Raoult announced in an online video that a trial involving 24 patients from southeast France supported the claim that hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin were effective in treating for COVID-19.[0]

> On 18 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the launch of a trial that would include one group treated with remdesivir. [1]

IIRC the 'masks wrong' accusation was more about the CDC than the WHO. As I recall, the WHO caught a lot of flak early on for press releases written in strict scientific language that were easily construed to mean something entirely different. They earned a bit of criticism for that, since they should have written those PR bits for the lay audience that it was intended for.
It is hard not to agree with the letter writer. Coverage pre-trial was apparent, then, gone. It is hard not to conclude something has been decided by 'mainstream' news outlets, meaning 'the obvious' as per your country.

I don't understand why any of this matters. Is it just to paint Biden with a 'corruption' brush? Trump's family has already been shown to have done as much or worse than these claims against Hunter, and Trump's network of hotels have been raking in cash for access (recent NYT story: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/10/10/us/trump-prop...).

This is such a strange argument.

I've noticed that the latest trend on social networks is to have ultra-sped up mini-videos, I think because it's popular on Instagram or TikTok (or both?). It's as if our entire civilization had suddenly caught ADHD.

Frankly maybe I'm old school but I found the Youtube version a lot more palatable, I could understand what was going on much butter, take a few seconds to understand the how the contraptions worked. When I watch one of these shortened ultra-edited versions I feel like I'm holding by breath.
If this study was only conducted on patients who were already hospitalized I don't think it is a cohort that represents Remdesivir's intended users. My understanding is the medication is intended to be given soon after a diagnosis is confirmed, before there are serious symptoms. That may make it unusable in practice due to cost and availability issues but doesn't mean it doesn't work as expected.

Say What You'll Do; Do What You Say (2016)
There are dozens of reports about YouTube removing any video mentioning the virus, including videos that were warning about the importance of masks and surface disinfection. At one point they've been conveniently purging everything not coming from an official channel.
I worked for a financial organisation in Dublin for a while back in the 90's. Best attitude to this stuff I have experienced:

You have 8 hours to do your work in. If you need more than that then you're either slacking off or incompetent. If you've been given more than 8 hours work to do then that's a scheduling problem you need to take up with your manager.

Everyone worked their arses off all day, and at 5pm the entire office went to the pub to socialise. Some only stayed for a short time then went home. Others stayed on for hours. But staying in the office after 5pm was not acceptable.

As a developer, it was great. Interruptions were always pertinent, because all the socialising happened in the pub. I could code in peace for ~8 hours, which tbh is about my limit anyway, after that my quality goes downhill fast. And then we all hung out together. Being a developer who can't do the social thing in work hours with losing massive time to context switching wasn't a social handicap, for once.
If your mental model of conservatives says that they would not take the serial killer pill because they fear being wrong about serial killers, then I don't think it's a particularly good model.
Yes, very much regrettably, I now find myself using Chrome when I really would like to avoid that. But unfortunately there is no way around this right now that I've found to be reliable enough and easy enough to the point that I would advise users to go that route. Sorry.

Nope. You are thinking "Free Software". "Open Source" is "just" that: a legal license which may or may not have ethical considerations and fuzzy feelings.

>The question is HOW? How would you approach things if you were in my shoes?

1. If someone is selling a course on FB or YT, that business is dead and not worth pursuing because otherwise that person would be doing it themselves. FBA, drop-shipping and real estate are the big three.

I'd accept an argument for RE, but that's not a casual thing to get into, easy to blow your cash and you need to go long-term. Flipping wholesales is one I've heard bad things about.

2. You need more 'at-bats'. I am not sure the velocity you had with your previous Saas ventures, but launching full products every 6 - 12 months isn't going to cut it. In addition, when products aren't gaining traction after 1 - 2 months, you need to cut losses and move on. I have fallen into this trap twice now, of thinking a product just needs a bit more tweaking. Both of those projects have been been put on the backburner, so nothing says you can't keep the idea but do it later when you have more resources, research, eyes, whatever.

You need to launch smaller products faster. Target niches rather than big markets. You want to be going after small markets where no VC-backed companies are. A $10k MRR market is worthless to VC, but worth a lot to a single person. Caveat: You could carve a niche out of a VC-backed company and eat their lunch on that segment, by doing things that don't scale / serving that market better by building specifically for them.

Check out Pieter Levels (levels.io) and the wider indie maker community, if you haven't already.

3. Focus on a specific market. I see some indie makers say they don't have a market, but they pretty much always do. You want compounding returns rather than launching a lot of diverse products where your social media and previous gains have to be thrown out.

You want content marketing for product A, which you may shut down in a month, to bring you people who will be interested in product C, D, E...

You don't need a specific niche, but I've realized it would be better to focus on a community or general interest, rather than launching tons of products that have nothing to do with each other.
