And it is even more infuriating when it is the first amendment of the United States of America that is quoted as a definition for free speech. What free speech means in America is not the same as what free speech means in a European, African or Asian country. Every country defines free speech in their own ways. To always quote the first amendment as if the law applies to everyone in the World is seriously problematic.

USA is not the World. The World is not USA. It is high time we get out of this mentality.
$100k household income puts you in the 9th decile in 2016 for NYC (about 85th percentile).

One definition of the middle class is the 30 percentiles around the median (i.e. 20th to 80th percentile, or start-of-3rd to end-of-8th decile). In NYC, that would be 10k-82k (2016). $100k in NYC would be upper middle class by this definition.

If these numbers are surprising to you, they should be! with a not-uncommon tech salary of 140k+ of nominal income, you are above the 90th percentile in NYC.

It's kind of hard for our bubble to imagine that people survive on minimum wage (30k/year in NYC 2021), and yet literally 1.9 million did in 2016.

I commend you to visit the place and you will discover that you are mistaken. There is one ONE place where there is racism and is literally called a containment board is /pol/. Outside of that honestly it seems you have a personal problem with people that you dont know like I doubt the people of /origami/ are "hatemongers" but what do I know. And while people arent "owed" a platform. Given the actual and the factual characteristics of modern web infrastructure, what you are saying is " Yes I would like to spread my buttchecks such that Mr Zuckerberg, Mr Bezzos and five more guys control what can and cant be said.". I dont want to give a shit about that people either but not caring about this is what is going to entrench the power of ZUckerberg and cronies, and I dont want silicon valley assholes in charge (even more)
Try saying something heavily against the current discourse, worse yet, in a way that the current discourse sees as unacceptable. For clarity, avoid any calls to violence. How many places would not deplatform you, suspend you, or at least downvote you into oblivion?

Not many. Anonymous boards are some of such places.

Even if you think that some people are patently wrong on the Internet, dangerously and irredeemably wrong, it's more useful to be aware that such people exist, than to hide this fact from yourself in order to have a quieter sleep.

Freedom is, by definition, also freedom for those you disagree with, despise, even hate. If either side forces their (doubtlessly, virtuous and well-founded) views on the other (doubtlessly, misinformed and stubborn), I have a hard time calling it freedom. It's a standard ideological oppression.
> The average American earns more than the average European

The difference is that citizens of the EU don't die when the money stops flowing because there are multiple social insurances in place.

So at least the reduction of income that is insurance should be considered a wrong measurement, because it's taken off before taxes.

> is there much of a difference between buying relatively fewer deep in the money options vs buying relatively more cheaper out of the money options?

From a strategy/risk management perspective, for sure.

Upsides with deep ITM calls is you'll pay less of a time premium and mitigate some effects from volatility. It can also be a "cheap" means for covered calls.

As for downsides - larger upfront risk as well much less liquidity / greater chances of an order not being filled.

Buying many OTM calls can be more or less a gamble.
Spousal communication privilege usually only covers conversation from while you are married, not prior to then. Although, testimonial privilege is a whole can of worms.

> From a very, very casual gamer's perspective, how did expectations get so high? Consumers are demanding more, companies are promising more, developers are worked to the bone and everyone still ends up unhappy.

The dynamic is the same in films, where all of the studio's profits come from a few blockbusters (sometimes called 'tentpoles'), and in publishing, where all of the profits come from relatively few bestsellers, and got that matter in venture capital, where all of the returns come from a few unicorns.

BTW, you might be interested to note that in film at least, the "work to the bone" component is largely missing (not that film crews don't work hard, they do), and that the film industry is unionized to the hilt (Screen Writers Guild, Screen Actors' Guild, Directors' Guild of America, International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, etc. etc.), nor is pervasive unionization any sort of barrier to incorporating equity compensation (often in the form of residuals) for key talent.

This becomes somewhat rapidly infeasible as your client is sorting through a 1:100000 signal to noise ratio.

In a past web forum I did infrastructure for, without sufficient moderation and constant updates to captchas/challenge questions, we would get over 25k signups a day (100 legitimate signups a day), and over 500k spam posts a day (<5k legit). You'd be sending every single client multiple-digit terabytes of literal spam, much of it illegal spam (CC theft dump sales, illegal online pharmacy, are common spam) and making them dig through it.

Imagine viewing a single thread, and downloading about 5GB a page of gzipped viagra ads covered in the entire text content of a Harry Potter book in a desperate attempt to get past some filter, and then having to filter through to get the one or two posts.
I dislike this comparison. The reason we can't explain consciousness isn't because it complex or because there are too many variables for us to track and predict, as in the case of the lottery machine, but because we haven't decided what we mean when we say 'conciousness'. Pretty much any component of consciousness one may think of can be explained in isolation as a simple material system. Self-reflection, continuity, response to stimuli, etc.

When people talk about magic, they are referring to the strangeness of subjectivity, and what it is at a very fundamental level. I think a better analogy is being a Greek philosopher and trying to understand what matter is. No tool at the time can measure things in a way that would meaningfully lead them to an answer, nor did they have any theories where matter could be related to something they could study. So when we are confronted with the same situation, I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume that we, like them, are missing a massive piece of the puzzle. Calling it magic feels kind of right when it's something so large and consequential.
An Interview with the MicroBlocks Team
You have the right to say whatever you want; you have no right to demand an audience. The way that this works on the Web is that you have the right to publish whatever Web server you like, but no right to be indexed by somebody else's search engines.

This is a common slight of hand from folks with your political leaning: The constitutional right to speech is conflated with the right to popularity, a narcissistic delusion.

It would be lovely if the structure of the Internet did not require having an address. This seems to be something of a fundamental technical problem, though, and not one that can be fixed via strong political opinions.

You could. That's how something like CHAP works.

You'd actually end up hashing it twice. Once using the salt to go from plaintext to what the sever has stored and then again using the challenge.

It has problems though. The strength of your password hashing would be limited by what the weakest client could do, rather than what the server could do. Asymmetric encryption ends up being simpler.
Why not physical debounce switch? I get it is more expensive but no one would question it twice.
The insurrection happened at the capitol building, not on Parler.
Spirograph! That takes me back to simpler days.

I was just thinking about this little device the other day but the name eluded me. What fanciful amalgam of search terms must one employ to locate such a thing via search engine? Stymying!

Thanks for dropping that gem here.
Brilliant.

I think people need to realize that having an 'enemies' email go through a service that you (US intelligence or whoever) has complete control over and access too outweighs the benefits of 'de-platforming' for some outraged Internet mob.
> Some average (mean) economic indicators are up.

It's not even that good, because the indicators the article is using don't take into account that all of this new money that came with the stimulus, for example, was newly printed money. No actual wealth was created.

It is true that the way the stimulus payments were made amounted to a wealth transfer to people less well off, so that (plus the fact that much of it was used to pay off debt) does represent an actual reduction in wealth inequality. But I think it's hardly the rosy picture the article paints, all things considered.
tl;dr: prosperity + inequality.

But for some reason “inequality” gets glossed as “skepticism”. It’s apparently all in their heads—comparing themselves to others on social media—even though getting laid off and having no short-term prospects as long as the pandemic is going on is something to worry about in absolute terms, not just in relative terms.

I think that it’s good that we worry about how the economy is doing for all of us, not just the fictious average person.
There is no going back now. Imagine. It's 2024, Biden is re-elected under contested circumstances. Tens of millions of (mostly armed) patriots that again feel disenfranchised, though this time vindicated through four years of censorship and with unencumbered communication channels.

Remember, Hitler's first coup failed too.
Breakeven = strike price + premium paid
but when you sell options you are betting that the stock won't move towards the direction described in the option because if it does you are going to be margin called by your broker.

I don't know exactly how it happened but someone on wallstreetbets a while ago said he woke up to find he was -250% and asking what to do. I assume he wrote bunch of options which ran against him.

It's disturbing because I talked to this kid literally a week before I told him I blew up my account buying far OTM puts (I was right about the price but SEC froze the stocks far past the expiry).

Ask HN: Best way to recover from startup burnout
Spent the last 5 years boostratpping multiple startups that all failed. I sit in a fog completely out of financial and emotional gas. Probably have some sort of mild depression and quickly approaching 40. I feel scorched.

I feel inept of obtaining or maintaining a job. It's been 6 or 7 years since working within a larger organization.

Do you have suggestions?

There is an entire industry around the collection of and aggregation of salary, benefits, and perk information. Every year your HR department pays a firm, fills out these surveys, and a few months later gets a report on salary ranges and perks for their industry.

If you think about it then it makes perfect sense, how else do businesses know they're offering competitive salaries, benefits, and perks?

Source: I consulted for a company that does these surveys and aggregates the results.
Claiming that the person making an argument has conflated the first amendment with the principle it protects is at best a thought-terminating cliché, at best intentional bad faith.

Had the author of this Ask HN framed his question more honestly, and said something like "Should private companies be able to refuse to publish what I want to say?" they'd get very few responses saying no. But that doesn't serve their narrative, so they framed the question as one about the right to speak at all, rather than the right to be published by a specific private business. If anyone is posting in bad faith its the author of this Ask HN.

There's a few I2Psites that track other I2Psites (and share hosts.txt files). You can subscribe to these (attaching *.i2p domains to their respective long base32 links). By default stats.i2p and a few others are in your address book.

There used to be some I2P-only search engines but I'm not sure if they exist anymore.
I got around the `tmux` barrier by writing down my most useful commands on an index paper, cutting it into the smallest rectangle I could (and folding in half), and tucking it in the pocket of my phone's flipcase (or you could stick it inbetween your smartphone and its back-shell).

I'm pretty happy I got over that hurdle.
I'm torn, to be honest.

I like keychain, it makes Safari the only browser with password management I trust. Browser dev history has been littered with poor implementations. I want to say Chrome still stores shit unencrypted, but this is just what I recall off the top of my head from reading tech news. I'm no expert, and that's pretty much my point. I trust keychain and don't want to write a phd thesis on how secure the other options are.

I like the ios integration. Other browsers offer this, but it's just another account to worry about - do i trust this company, will they still be around (and still be trustworthy) in ten years? browser history is the most personal thing I do on a computer so this matters a lot to me. (I guess both of these points are just tldr walled garden)

The lack of good adblocking kills it for me. It's too much of a sacrifice, even with a pihole running at home.

Also, as you said, they move slowly. Not just with shiny new tech, but also basic privacy things like if I type "old.reddit.com/r/embarrassingThingsImInto" or whatever, why are they still defaulting to http, and waiting for the web server to decide to upgrade the connection (leaking the initial request)? Why is defaulting to https hidden away in the developer menu? Developers are the only people these days who should be dealing with http anyway, and in those cases there's probably a ".local" at the end they could use to make a determination.
Interesting article!

War novels often involve the privileged finally meeting the poor for the first time in their lives, as commissioned officers. And finally respecting them. It's a trope I'm sure there was a lot of truth to. A lieutenant in WWI had it a bit better than a private, but not that much better (he might even have had a higher chance of death). He still had to live in the same hole in the ground. Classes which were entirely separated were brought together (as JFK must have been). Social media is not like that. There's nothing shared about it, nothing we go through together that could generate a fellow feeling.

It's a hard problem, but I'd argue its one that's been effectively moribund for effort and research around the time of everyone dropping POP3 for their email.

My entire problem with censorship, philosophically, is some unwanted third party making demands on my information input. The goals of moderation need not be at odds with my goal to determine for myself what I wish to read. Categorization and shared filter lists could go a long way here.
Pets are considered property in all fifty states (Although in CA there are laws being proposed or even passed to change some of that). Any injuries or death to a pet only requires replacement cost.
There's a discontinuous boundary? That's news to me. It's pretty well known that classical mechanics is reproduced by quantum mechanics in the large scale. There's no discontinuity between the two. There's also a whole heap of people competing on trying to put ever and ever larger objects in superposition. Finally, decoherence has seen plenty of study and seems to be exactly what you're lamenting the lack of.
This is absolutely ridiculous.

I didnt suggest that, you framing of my words id quite mmm peculiar to say the least, but I wont assume dishonesty from you. Rather what I said is that 4chan is probably the last big place that still resembles a little bit the freedom that internet was supposed to bring us. Yes it has a couple places some people dont like, but HEY we dont have to like them. WHat I said is that 4chan is the last place where people cna have an honest debate that rarely takes place anywhere on the internet. Is the last place that still has that "Hackerculture" that places like this were supposed to embody, you know sharing leaks, discussing what society looks with disdain and so on. 4chan is mm not like what you suggest a magical place that holds freedom of speech. However it is the last bastion of the visible freedom of speech that internet was supposed to bring. If 4chan dissapears fredom of expression will not suddenly disappear, however it would be a clear symptom of the fact that sillicon valley won. And we are back to manufactured consent, we are back to the days of tv when only a couple millonaires dictated what could be discussed and what could not be discussed. I dont want that simple as.
As a layman, I am seeing coming inflation. We are seeing lowest credit card debt, lowest mortgage and more savings. Once economy will be reasonably open, people will try to go on vacation, have more parties, more flights, more clothes (fancy as well as official etc). Till now, people were putting money in stack, bitcoin and online shopping (whcih is replacement). I am saying this for some times. But in few months, people will try to use their co called created wealth.
The name alludes to the Ship of Theseus, a thought experiment where, over the course of many repairs, every piece of a ship is eventually replaced.

It's not just about size, at least not directly. FAANG companies are big in large part because they radically changed the world for the better, and most people who identify as part of the "startup scene" are hoping they can be a part of something similar.

So around 40% of the American population. The left loves to talk about the right-wingers doing dog-whistles, this is one from the left. Your commentary also come across as naive or disingenuous when in those days AOC just one of several left-wing politicians and personalities calling for the creation of undesirable lists (again that 40%) to ,when the time comes, get them to pay for enabling Trump. All these within the highly violent BLM protests context.
