Contra to what most are saying here, I went through this laborious and stinky process of taking my pans down to bare metal and building them back up with flax oil a couple of years ago and got great results.

I did get poor performance after a few months and felt heartbroken over it, but fixed it with another approach that differs from received wisdom: use soap and a nylon scouring pad from time to time. That’s never damaged the seasoning, but removes any caked on burned bits of food that dull the pan. I read on /r/castiron that the idea of soap being damaging is a hold over from when lye based soap was commonly used for dishes. Modern dish detergent isn’t going to cause the same damage. The other thing that helped was getting a straight metal spatula to really scrape the pan which has resulted in a smoother surface over time.
Also, without washing, you end up with rough spots of non-sticky partially-polymerized bits. Wash it with soap and a scrub brush. Nothing short of steel wool is going to affect the patina.

For proof of this, check out your aluminum baking sheets. If they’ve been used, they’re almost certainly covered in a shiny black substance that’s a complete pain in the ass to remove, even with abrasives. That’s essentially what’s on your cast iron.
First of all, I’m not sure if the word choice was intentional, but socialists distinguish between property in this analysis and possessions. No one’s talking about running off with Scrooge McDuck’s good silverware or whatever.

Second with that clarification being made, workers have negotiated ownership stakes in the means of production peacefully. Quite a lot of HN members have done it individually. Collective, larger scale negotiations have involved strikes and occupation.

Using my imagination, I’m sure there’s a possibility of organizing the workers who would otherwise use force to defend private ownership.

In all honesty I don’t think any of these things is more likely than just a gradual shift toward social democracy.
Yes, when your side turns to violence it is time for you to be deplatformed. That includes governments that use violence against their citizens.
Meh. I've let my investments ride through multiple crashes. I know I can't call a top or a bottom. The value always recovers.
This shared responsibility principle that underlies cloud marketing speak sounds a lot like the self-driving mess we find ourselves in today - I.e. the responsibility boundary between parties exists in a fog of war and results in more exceptions than if one or the other were totally responsible.

We have been a customer of Amazon AWS for ~6 years now, and we still really only use ~3 of their products: EC2, Route53 and S3. I.e. the actual compute/memory/storage/network capacity, and the mapping of the outside world to it. Because we are a software company, we write most of our own software. There is no value to our customers in us stringing together a pile of someone else's products, especially in a way that we cannot guarantee will be sustainable for >5 years. We cannot afford to constantly rework completed product installations.

We strongly feel that any deeper buy-in with 3rd party technology vendors would compromise our agility and put us at their total mercy. Where we are currently positioned in the lock-in game, we could pull the ripcord and be sitting in a private datacenter within a week. All we need to do is move VMs, domain registrations and DNS nameservers if we want to kill the AWS bill.

I feel for those who are up to their eyeballs in cloud infrastructure. Perhaps you made your own bed, but you shouldn't have to suffer in it. These are very complex decisions. We didn't get it right at first either. Maybe consider pleading with your executive management for mercy now. Perhaps you get a shot at a complete redo before it all comes crashing down. We certainly did. It's amazing what can happen if you have the guts to own up to bad choices and start an honest conversation.

I would also be interested to hear the other side of the coin. Who out there is using 20+ AWS/Azure/GCP products to back a single business app and is having a fantastic time of it?

I'm not saying all dweb people feel this way, I'm in the other camp myself. I'm saying part of the dynamic going on includes a subset of people who forgot that these aren't some global good, they will create both good and harm, like anything else.
I'd like to have a chaining operator in Python, like R is getting. Then the example could be:

> a |> zip(b) |> map(func1) |> filter(func2) |> forall(func3)

The advantages would be that this would work with all lists/iterables, so no need to make a special types.
"USB in a Nutshell" [1] was really useful to me. As far as tooling goes I'd take a look at the "usb-tools" project [2] on Github. The GreatFET One hardware [3] is good and works with the Facedancer software hosted by the usb-tools project.

I enjoyed working on USBQ and learned a lot by doing it but the kernel loadable module it depends on wasn't written by me and probably needs some love. The usb-tools project and the related hardware has advanced quickly. Were I to do the same project over again (hacking Zwift for fun) I'd probably start there.

There is so much to USB... even some surprising things! [4]

Good question, I guess I’d recommend seeing a physical therapist first, and trying traction under guidance for a few weeks before buying anything.
> Then those datacentres would be deplatformed from the Internet.

A few years ago I heard some people say we needed net neutrality. Republicans were against it.
One example that comes to mind is maps. I tend to think of North as being up, so North should be at the top of a map. I never realized that that is cultural until I learned that many ancient societies considered East (the direction of the rising sun) to be up, so you find ancient maps with East as the top.

Another example is their view of history. We tend to see history as needing to describe what is "true", that is what actually happened if we had been there with multiple cameras recording the events as they happened. Many ancient peoples would have thought that is a bizarre and alien view of history. For them history was more about the stories that they could tell and if the stories differed significantly from what actually happened, well, so what? Why would anyone possibly want history to describe what actually happened? Who cares? The story is what is true.
How do you think Amazon connects to the internet?

They have their own network, own peering agreements, etc etc etc. They didn't build the internet, they built their own "platform" by building out their own little corner of the internet. You want to be a "platform" like Amazon, but you don't want to build everything necessary for a "platform" to be a platform. That is the crux of the problem. If what you really want is simply free speech, well that's free. If all you really want is a website, well that's pretty cheap too, but maybe not free. But when you start talking about platforms, you have to pay to build the platform you want. Even a soapbox is not free, someone somewhere had to pay for it.

You're complaining that building a platform is too expensive the same way someone a hundred years ago may have complained that buying the presses is too expensive. It makes no sense. If you want to print your own paper, you need the presses.

Mentioning a couple hypotheses (drying oils make for better seasonings) with a couple hypothesized mechanisms does not make this a science based approach. A science based approach (in this particular chemical context) would involve controlled experiments (off the top of my head, what about the roughness of the cast iron? Carbon content? Time to warm up the oven? Why six layers and not twelve? Etc etc). Claims like "youbneed to use 100% pure oil, I think that's why it might not be working for you" would not be present - science based involves testing that hypothesis and seeing if the purity or brand or whatever of the oil matters There! There would be some key metrics to measure, such as some molecular analysis of the residue, some test for non-stick ability, and perhaps a longevity test.

It might seem like a bit much, but this is an article presenting the conclusions of "science" as recommendations to pursue in your every day life, and a lack of scientific rigor can create false confidence in false solutions. For something as complex as polymerization in the varied environment of home cast iron seasoning, there's an enormous amount of work and confounding factors you would need to sift through (seasoning on the stove vs oven?). Without that rigor, you might have stumbled into the best way of doing things, but as other comments suggest, its more likely your lack of rigor has led to missing things like the seasonings tendency to flake.
The argument would be, what is the intent of the CCP in pushing this program, gien the evidence of coercion from Uyghur camp survivors. Is it as virtuous as state media argues? Doubtful.

Yep! This is exactly what I'm hoping to build! I'm putting the source on GitHub shortly.
As far as I can tell, currency holders and/or people who aren’t on the asset train (or further back on it).
We’ve been saying it for years. With governments printing money (even electronically), that seems unlikely. We’re at more risk of high inflation making our cash worthless and our salaries horribly out of sync with needs. Hyperinflation could also cause economic collapse, but it’s different than any crash we’ve seen in the US.

There’s a lot of uncertainty. Diversify. Dollar-cost average your purchases and sales.
Stocks mostly and parked cash on GLD, BND, and BNDX. I sold all the stocks in February and parked it in GLD which was great. Got back into stocks in the summer, so was a good twelve months. One thing, time in the market beats timing the market, I just got “lucky“ because things were obvious getting worse early in the year, the decisions weren’t difficult. As for a possible crash, I’ll park some cash maybe in BND and wait for opportunities.

Probably the gold rush for decentralized, censorship-resistant platforms for the Right to jump to.

This is bad for any mainstream ambitions by the Matrix team. If it becomes the next Gab/Parler, normal people will avoid being associated with it. I know this association would absolutely sink my friends exploring the platform further while we're exploring alternatives for when Google Hangouts is decommissioned.
The solution isn’t to nationalize social media, it’s to legislate that they be interoperable with other platforms. If you have an account on Facebook and Twitter you should be able to publish and read from both via an API. They can still ban people but you should be able to take your data seamlessly to another competing platform that is interoperable with a number of clients both official and independent. Utilities work because they follow common protocols, e.g. utility companies don’t require you to rewire your house and use a different voltage.
Yeah, based on what was said in the NYT article they did act to remove some of the posts in question. Ultimately it seems like Parlor's own moderation system was insufficient in dealing with the troublesome posts (either because the moderators declined to adequately enforce Parlor policies or because of a lack of moderators to deal with the sheer volume of content).

Either way, it seems like Parlor has some (albeit lax) content policies and it has a moderation system in place (this was how it was approved for the Apple store, etc in the first place). But when these failed to deal with content that Amazon did not like within the timeline that Amazon set, Amazon chose to cancel the contract. I assume these actions are all within the bounds of Parlor's AWS contract (or at least Amazon's lawyers believe they can successfully argue such). However, I remain surprised that this is how enterprise AWS contracts would be structured (though maybe this is just because I don't have any personal experience with them).

> If we had significantly less people, things like limited resources and pollution wouldn't be that big of a deal.

The people the world does have vary in resource consumption and pollution by like 50x (Bahrain vs developing African nations).

How we develop, and the technologies we invent to live sustainably, makes a dramatically bigger difference than how many people we have.

And likely, an inverted age pyramid makes it far, far harder to invent these technologies, as our political systems become gerontocracies, science ossifies, and all our resources are pumped into taking care of the ever-growing elderly.
I really don't understand why you're being so hostile; I genuinely believe that it will help. It's not an all-or-nothing, every bit of progress helps.

As for your very specific example, the arguments post-graduate anti-vaxxers will make are going to be different than people who're mislead and aggravated by 600-word articles or even shorter chain messages spreading bullshit. The vaccine to this bullshit is education, believe it or not.
Don't try to time the market. Read a book like "All About Asset Allocation", recognize that every time feels unique but it's really not, and choose a mix of assets that reflect your risk and reward profile. It's not rocket science.

If you've got 10+ years, keep it mostly in stocks. If you need it sooner, keep it mostly in bonds. Trust in the power of compound interest.

Prefer assets that have a logical reason to go up based on history, not fancy. Businesses and governments pay back bonds from their revenue. Businesses are worth more over time from improvements in efficiency and scale which raises the stock market. Stay away from assets that are basically speculative (gold, crypto, oil, metals, real estate). History shows that speculative investments tend to just track inflation over time, but since they're noisier people can find all kinds of short term patterns to justify investing. Don't fall for it.
According to VideoLan's Legal team (in the French section of https://www.videolan.org/legal.html under Brevets):

Patents

According to article L 611-10 of the French Intellectual Property Code, software patents are not allowed under French law. At the [EEA] level, Article 52 of the European Patent Convention has also excluded the protection of computer programs.

As a result, any software supplied by VideoLAN is not subject to licenses on any software patent, regardless of its origin.

The relevant section of the French IP law states that:

1. New inventions, in all fields of technology, involving an innovative approach with industrial application are patentable.

2. The following are not considered as inventions within the meaning of the first Section of this Article in particular: a) The discoveries of scientific theories as well as mathematical methods; b) Aesthetic creations; c) Intellectual plans, principles and methods in the areas of sport or economic activities, as well as computer programs; d) Presentation of information.

3. The provisions of Section 2 of this Article shall exclude the patentability of the elements listed in the said provisions only to the extent that the patent application or patent concerns only one of these elements considered as such.

4. Subject to the provisions of Articles L. 611-16 to L. 611-19, inventions relating to a product consisting wholly or partly of biological material, or to a process for producing, processing or using biological material, shall be patentable under the conditions laid down in Section 1. Biological material is considered to be material that contains genetic information and can reproduce itself or be reproduced in a biological system.

It's not as cut-and-dried as you suggest. Individuals--but not broad classes of people--can be excluded based on their behavior. The Nazis likely could be excluded as long as they insisted on wearing Nazi pins/garb, but not merely on suspicion of their beliefs. A spineless out-of-court settlement by an insurer doesn't tell us that much about how the case might have fared in court, only that the insurer chose to avoid further risk.

I've tried to make physical fitness a life long habit. I've prioritized physical activity of all kinds (sports, exercise, yard work) over other activity. I've invested in equipment (I have a treadmill, bike trainer, batting cage, free weight setup, cable weights) and I focus on the habit. That said, I could get by with a pair of running shoes. No need to over complicate things.

This adherence to fitnesd is a stark departure from many friends and my entire family. This makes it harder as my fitness is an individual activity insofar as when in the company of friends and family, I sometimes need to justify this activity to them. There is no guilt for me associated to following a different path and course of section from others. As a technologist, I have to remind myself that there is no guilt associated with time for myself VS time away from the computer and my business. Sometimes that is harder than it sounds, even though it sounds ridiculous.

This focus results in running 4x/week, weights 3x/week with other cardio and outdoor activities/sports mixed in. Sometimes, if I'm away from my equipment, fitness can be body weight exercises and walking.

For me, taking 30-60 minutes daily (not necessarily all at once) gives me mental fitness also - free time for my thoughts and for myself. This plays into my introversion tendency to recharge away from others. And the timing is right! I may not be able to easily justify 60-90 consecutive minutes in anything. But if I can exercise for 15-30 minutes here and there it adds up.
I like the dry powder idea but it also seems hard to justify.
By your definition, has there ever been a crash? If so, which periods in history would you count as actual crashes?
To be fair, using "if something" in Python is pretty much always a good way to trip yourself up.
one thought bouncing among friends - if there's risk that Tether gets killed (e.g. by NYAG regulators), then it flees into BTC before the window shuts. True, it shuts down the (relatively small) spigot of Tether money printing, but BTC is mostly growing because of legit buying pressure coming from large institutions, e.g. Morgan Stanley buys 10% stake in Microstrategy (MSTR) for their BTC stake.

When I have pushed back on the same topic, it usually is met with negativity. I believe recruiting and hiring staff have some incentives to treat you like you’re crazy if you want special provisions or need clarification on complex terms.

In my career, I’ve negotiated

- a severance package in my offer letter from a company that said, “we don’t offer severance packages as a matter of policy.”

- a sign on bonus from a company that said, “we don’t offer sign-on bonuses as a matter of policy.”

- a longer expiration period for startup options, as well as partial acceleration of vesting in the case of a significant liquidity event, from a company that said, “we can’t modify our standard equity agreement papers.”

- immediate full vesting of matched 401(k) contributions from a company that said, “our policy is that matched contributions only vest after 1 year.”

- ability to expense my own Linux workstation, which I could keep, in the offer letter, from a company that said employees are only allowed to be issued Mac laptops.

- explicit extra section in the offer letter stating that any IP created by me using only my personal equipment and personal time was my sole property and was explicitly not subject to any part of the employee handbook dealing with ownership of IP.

In all these cases, the conversation usually started out with me being gaslit about all this being impossible or my expectations being crazy. But after sticking to my requirements, eventually it normalized out into a sincere discussion.

I should add, all these examples came from very large companies except for the case of the options expiry and acceleration.

I also gave a hard “no” to many companies over the years that wouldn’t negotiate on topics like these, and I can say I don’t regret it one bit. There’s never been a case where I said no to a job offer over inflexibility on all these topics and then later regretted it.

I am quite aware that women can be empowered and naked -- that doesn't mean it fits well with tech.

I'm glad women in your life are happy with this, really. I really don't think this is a problem with naked women being shameful, but I really do think it's not appropriate for children. Do teenage girls buy playboy in Germany? I imagine usually not.

Honestly, we might have to agree to disagree, but I really do think using Playboy as a standard image gives the impression this is "for boys", the same way Playboy itself is generally seen as "for boys".

If this was just about nudity being fine, I am not seeing many naked men in tech.
