I've worked to help YC founders launch 2 YC startups in healthcare and fintech and pushed them from idea to public launch in months. I've also worked on a number of startups. I currently work full time in fintech (affiliate/cashback space) but am open to part-time contracting jobs on the side.

Also,instead of buying $10 in a weekly lotto every week, you save your money and wait for it to cross a threshold of value and then buy using the saved money.

50 entries into a $70 million lotto is better than 1 entry, 50 times onto an average lotto of $2 million. The expected payout of vastly bigger.

I've done the math on my local lotteries and I only buy tickets when the EV of the return is greater than the cost of a single ticket. Even then it's only a small amount of tickets. The odds may be in my favour but they're still really small to win.
Um, suppose you would want take a stab at that, why would specifically comment on middle-income ones?

>let's say someone offered you a deal: for a 30% tax, your device would be X% more secure and you'd have Y% fewer troubles with upgrades and dodgy software. Would you take it? I would.

there is no reason you couldn't have this while also having competing app stores. All you would need to do is not install the competing app stores.
One of the reasons?

It's honestly the reason for me.

Such a minor thing, and it's super annoying. Google lost out on hundreds of dollars from me on this simple change.
Well I’m sure that the people of Saudi Arabia don’t care that you want to plan their future for them, because as I mentioned, it’s something they’ve already taken care of for themselves.

It’s really a rather imperialistic perspective tbh. To presume all of these countries need us to be making decisions for them, or that we would have any right to do so in the first place.
Too few people know enough about crypto, and also care enough, for you to get lost in a sea of folks breaking the same law. It'll be a short list of very loud, vocal, easy targets. I'd wanna be as far away from that as I could be.

Especially since a very large use case for crypto - especially in non-custodial wallets - especially people avoiding KYC, is crime.

The ratio of ancaps to criminals on this list is likely very low.

[edit] The real risk of finding yourself on this shortlist of non-custodial wallets is suddenly finding yourself on the wrong side of the IRS.

Most blockchains are pseudonymous, and the government has tools to track and de-pseudonymize, or at least map and aggregate - transactions. If the government wanted to go after you for breaking this law, they'd probably just throw together a quick list of people the IRS should start poking around at.

They know as well as you do that you probably didn't report every transaction you've ever done on every exchange, DEX, or platform. That's tax fraud, straight up. Much easier to prove, and much harder to argue on merits.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: if your government is coming for you, no amount of magic beans in your computer will keep you or your value safe. If you don't trust your government you've got bigger problems than crypto. If you trust your government crypto is irrelevant.

As Beria, Stalin's side-kick said, "Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime."

> This is false when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccines under development. They do not—and are not meant to—prevent people from contracting and spreading the virus. They only reduce the symptoms. This does not help herd immunity (other than perhaps allowing the virus to spread faster, I guess).

Some other HN-er said this. If this is true, then it should be my decision. Since I have been through it without symptoms, I am supposedly immune for 6 months, but even after that, I do not really care. I care about it personally as much as I care about the flu. I have not vaccinated myself against the flu in years. Let it be my decision, please. I am not an anti-vaxxer, but when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine, I am a bit wary. I do not mind tested vaccines that have been around for decades and have been extensively researched and are pretty known to be safe.

What about numbers of which we don't know if they are irrational or not? Like e+π, e⋅π or 2^e.
If you're born in the late 40's, you'd probably have been exposed to some punch cards but when starting work, it'd be the 70's already. I'm sure there was still punch cards around at the time, but at least you had printing terminals if not monitor-based terminals.

That said, depending on where you were working, things could also change fast. You could find yourself finding that a kernel system call had changed because someone patched it the evening before.

I feel for you. I also had my fair share of labor rights abuse in Japan. My experience is that only foreigners are 'brave' enough to ever bring this up, which makes the whole situation even more miserable since you cannot expect any help from Japanese colleagues.
All you really care about is that P(split_brain) < your availability guarantee. This is when this turns into an engineering problem. If you have redundant top of rack switches, redundant power supplies, redundant network paths, you're not going to end up with a split brain.

An example I like to use is integrated circuits, like your CPU, sure, it can fail in a mode where you lose the internal connectivity between the transistors, and then your CPU is dead. It's a very complex distributed system where engineers have basically taken out any practical possibility of an internal failure. So just because CAP says that if you lose connectivity to some portion of transistors you can't maintain consistency or availability (which is true) doesn't mean a thing in practice. Nobody even worries about how to keep a CPU going if you lose one core.
Probably but now that the public is aware of a physical flaw covered up by a control mechanism the physical flaw needs to be fixed.

I'm not even clear what that fix boeing used to cover up this problem. The article didn't specify, that is a red flag.

Quick picks are quite random and, from my experience, I'd argue that over 2/3rds would be different from how humans pick numbers.
It's not an irrational fear at all. The plane by any measure is a serious kludge, even after these patches have been applied.

Think about the fact that you're flying what is essentially a management designed plane. No reasonable engineer would chose to build this plane.
> Why do these articles say so little about how Boeing fixed the problem?

Because they are journalists and have no idea how airplanes work or how engineering is done.
That doesn't even make sense. People who MITM traffic don't get Web PKI certs to do it with; they inject their own CA certs, a feature that continues to exist in the Chrome root program world and, indeed, has to in order for enterprises to deploy Chrome.

Why not? Equipment at that scale is complicated, and requires a lot of skill and experience to operate.

Not to mention responsibility. When you screw up, people die. Very likely including you.
In spoken Mandarin Chinese you can normally derive the meaning from context but in Classical Chinese (or in fact anything written more formally) it's not necessarily so straightforward.

There is a poem that illustrates it, where each syllable is pronounced exactly the same, /shi/ just with different tones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-Eating_Poet_in_the_Stone_... (施氏食獅史). It goes like that:

« Shī Shì shí shī shǐ »
Shíshì shīshì Shī Shì, shì shī, shì shí shí shī.
Shì shíshí shì shì shì shī.
Shí shí, shì shí shī shì shì.
[...]

Good luck trying to figure out the meaning without the "written adornments."
Tobacco is clearly not analogy by your own argument, since tobacco harms the user.
Are you claiming Apple harms its users?

Apple creates fewer negative externalities than any of their competitors. This is well documented.

I don’t see how this analogy works.

The durability or lack thereof of monopolies is incidental to their harms and methods. The fact that one tax-shirking abusive anticompetitive monopoly replaces another with depressing regularity (IBM, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, ...) isn't a sign of progress but of pathology. And old monopolies often prove impressively durable.

What's become clear to me in the decades since we first decried Microsoft's FUD, embrace-extend-extinguish, and unholy business practice methods is that every case of a monopoly I've encountered has 1) been describable as an extensive network (physical or virtual), where 2) that network structure is fundamental to its monopoly nature, with 3) a privately held central point of control.

If you can describe a firm in terms of nodes and links, and it holds key control points, you're looking at a very likely monopoly: transport (people, cargo, pipelenes, ...), energy, water, utilities, communications, information, standards & protocols, APIs, marketing relationships and contracts, logistics, retail and wholesale networks, knowledge, education and certification, finance, insurance (access, underwriting, risk), social networks, reputation and ratings systems, just for starters.

Understanding of these points are hugely distorted in large part through the direct and self-serving efforts of the Chicago School (Aaron Director, Milton Friedman, Robert Bork, Richard Posner, ...). It's only with recent revival in antitrust concerns, rejection of the Bork-Posner antitrust doctrine (in part by Posner himself), and work of people such as Lina Khan, Matt Stoller Tim Wu, Cry Doctorow, and Shoshana Zubboff, as well as the recognition of the intrinsic network-monopoly relationship, that this is beginning to change.

That said, the Refutation is excellent.

This is one of those things that will not take off without government initiative - risky, expensive to invest and develop, regulatorily difficult. The payoff is potentially massove though

Er yeah, my point is that we at least need to mitigate the debt treadmill (eg suspend all rent and interest) before it's sensible to talk about individuals being able to evaluate their own risk tolerance versus need for income. Ideally we'd slowly unwind the debt spiral in non-crisis times by raising interest rates and letting the various asset bubbles deflate (ie young people could buy houses again). Failing that it would be a long term benefit if the treadmill were allowed to lock up via defaults, although it would be painful in the immediate future.

Realistically there's no political will to do any of this, but my overall point remains about the overarching structure of our society not being one based on voluntary association. Insisting individuals have a choice while they do not is Orwellian tyranny.

There are a lot of potential mass-market service industries that don't exist because all the benefits of productivity growth (and slightly more than all, now) go to the top 0.1%.

There are still plenty of potential jobs - jobs that we will never have because of inequality.

And we should keep the eusocial aspects of jobs in mind. They provide life structure, self respect, and respectability in the eyes of others as well as a means of subsistence.

Edit: I would love to live in a world where tens of thousands of people have "street party organizer" as their job.

If it's 5 specific numbers drawn from a pool of 50 in any order, we're talking 2118760 combinations of numbers that can be drawn, i.e. a 0.0000472% chance.

For 5 drawn in a specific order from a pool of 50, we're talking about 254251200 ways 5 numbers can be drawn, with a 0.0000004% chance.

In this case it was actually 6 numbers, which is about 10x less likely to match a combination (orderless) and 50x less likely to match a permutation (with order).

> Make Apple pay Epic and all the companies it hurts on the App Store.

Don’t make me barf. This is stupid. I hate to be so, well, blunt, but you can’t be hurt by an App Store, maybe if you don’t like it you can create your own?

Apple (and they aren’t unique in this - Wal-Mart, Amazon, Steam, Epic, Nintendo, you name it) created a place for people to sell products. Without that creation, that market doesn’t exist. I’d you want to “punish” Apple then sure they can pay the developers and then all the developers can pay back all the profits they made on top of iOS.
If you VPN / Tor almost everything (except services that ban you from using a VPN), I don't know if they have much of a leg to stand on about that part. I use VPNs so my ISP does not have a record of my internet traffic to sell to internet marketers and many other perfectly legal and moral reasons.
They are accusing FB of paying big/unrealistic premium to gain a monopoly position.

"One allegation often made against Facebook is that it has strategically sought to buy small potential rivals, often at a big premium."

An exaggerated example would be google buying firefox for $100 billion. It's a ridiculous price, but it helps google's monopoly.

You can grow a monopoly by intentionally underselling your competitor out of business. Or you can grow your monopoly by overpaying for your competitor and buying him out. Rockefeller and Standard Oil used both tactics to monopolize oil.

OP’s comment, which you seem to be arguing in favor of. Apologies if I misinterpreted.

> Either the corporation or the government has the power.

Obviously. So long as there are anti-monopolistic practices in place, you can choose the corporation you want to interface with easily. Nothing is stopping OP from buying an Android phone, PinePhone, or Purism Librem 5.

Governments are not something you can choose, not really, and giving them wholesale control of how corporations can create tech products is granting them an absurd level of power, especially when viable alternatives already exist on the free market.

Bottom line I think is that using docker as a container runtime with K8S is going to be harder unless cri-dockerd becomes production grade but even then, from the Cons section it looks like it will not be a good option -

cri-dockerd will vendor kubernetes/kubernetes, that may be tough.
cri-dockerd as an independent software running on node should be allocated enough resource to guarantee its availability.
I can’t remember the name of one of those famous cases of people that got arrested for thinking that they could use TOR to break the law without punishment, but there’s been so many by now that I honestly don’t feel bad having forgotten. No doubt someone else does - Russ something, maybe? No doubt there’ll be some sort of “but it’s decentralized” reply and, yeah, it’s decentralized, but that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily untraceable. Bitcoin isn’t the sort of thing that’s worth betting my freedom on. YMMV.

I've done the math on my local lotteries and the EV tips into the players favour when the jackpot gets a bit bigger than 30 million, even if you share a jackpot with one other. This is due to the return of 3,4,5,6 and 7 numbers all adding up, combined with the fact that the jackpot is largely from what others have spent in previous weeks.

If I was completely rational I'd bet my house on it when it tips into my favour. I am not completely rational.
I think you're missing the point. The sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 is just one of many common sequences people play. If you have a primitive bool IsCommonSequence(sequence), then you can do better than random by re-rolling whenever IsCommonSequence returns true. As illustrated by some of the other posts on the thread, your odds of getting a common sequence aren't totally astronomical

For those that aren't aware, he's referring to the strategy known as "Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish", likely coined at Microsoft in the early-90s.

First Chrome started out as a technically amazing, open source, standards compliant browser. Developers everywhere adopted it and promoted it to their friends and family. Rapid adoption ensued.

Development tools became amazing, further spurring on developers to build websites for Chrome primarily. Creating a vicious cycle, now others need Chrome to enjoy these websites.

Then gradually Chrome starts stripping away user freedom in the name of security and privacy. Google added auto-update to force Chrome browser upgrades on every user. This pushes the web into a monoculture where Google can further centralize and establish control.
And, on the flip side, I would adore a store that was accessible over SSH. (That is, it's not just selecting against non-techies; some of us more technical folks would see it as an improvement over a web UI)
