Making users sign up to receive special content?

Could be they signup on one of your campaigns, the content doesn't meet their expectations or they become bored. Instead of unsubscribing they just click spam.

Are you using double-opt in?
Adding to the sibling comment, MEGA download of large files apparently only works if you use a Chromium-based browser since those quasi-standardised a feature that IIRC allows websites direct access to local storage.

Cool! I love DSLs. Thanks very much for the response. Personally I don't currently use Chrome extensions, but I like this sort of thing that help's people more productive so will keep an eye out!
Hey, thanks! It's a small web I guess.

Yeah, there are two parts:

-A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State

-The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed

People try to twist it up to mean that only well regulated Militias have the right to keep and bear arms, but it's pretty clear that the Founding Fathers did not mean that in any way. Private citizens owned cannons and freaking war ships back then.
A charitable reading is that there are many parts of running a business, but managing employees/contractors is definitely one of the most difficult to get right while also being perceived as peripheral to the core goal; if you can still accomplish a mission you care about without bringing in all that extra work, it might be preferable.

As an engineer, this reading resonates for me to some degree. I'm naturally more interested in engineering problems than I am by payroll, performance management, and hiring.
As someone who has something on the order of 20-30 meetings a week, time management and preparedness are a critical path for success.

Here's some free "customer problems" that I would love a calendar product to address.

* Meetings without stated purposes and expected outcomes - even if it just said "we're spitballing around Topic X and we just want ideas on the next hill to take", that would be so helpful to enforce upon creation and then sharing as part of the "upcoming meeting" notifications, upon forwarding to others, etc. Everything starts with "why."

* Helping me "prepare" for those meetings by finding useful context (Outlook/Teams has started doing this, by the way, it's kinda eh now but I expect it to be fairly awesome and "just work" in the next couple of years because the problem and solution are fairly clear, but the integrations with data sources will take time - see Project Cortex as a path forward for this within orgs, but for external meetings ...?)

* Letting me have "flexible" meetings where if something comes in that's a conflict, giving me options to auto-address the conflict (move meeting, cancel) or provide options and let me manually confirm.

* Again, Microsoft is working on this, but I think some kind of - even extremely basic - graph / mindmap view of a meeting and its context - kind of like a visual syllabus or bulletin board so you can see how this meeting fits into a larger project / initiative

But also, the biggest one by far would be instituting ways to generate "time affluence" - I need "SEIZE THE DAY"-style interventions!

SPACs acquire targets for significantly less than the potential IPO price, and their are still fees and deal costs associated with the merger, so from the target's perspective, you still end up with less than you would with a traditional IPO even after the fees of a traditional investment bank.

So why would a company ever go the SPAC route? SPACs are all about avoiding the (financial) disclosure required for a company going public the traditional way, and if you take a look at the list of companies getting acquired by SPACs this year, every single one of them has a red flag that would make their IPO risky (see, e.g., We).

Clearview AI's Facial Recognition App Called Illegal in Canada
That’s the kicker, beautifully put.

It’s pretty much impossible to get our human minds around $185 billion, but any which way you spin it, it’s an insane amount of money. His $2bn altruistic fund is sort of like the equivalent of me giving away £1000. It’s a bit generous, but really not very much. Plus, that sort of altruism is utterly skewed to your benefit when you’re that wealthy.

If he gave away 99.99% of his net worth, he’d still have $18.5 million, a figure that’d make anyone on the planet - and their family - blissfully comfortable for the rest of their lives.

Details aside (yeh, I know it’s not actual money, it’s in stocks, yada yada), the point is it is an absolutely obscene amount of money for any individual to possess. I have no understanding how he sleeps at night knowing the world around him is full of appalling poverty that he could help solve.
Tbh, I think that in the near future we'll figure how to flip one bit worth of information in a single atom, perhaps with a high precision magnetic field, and use crystals to store amounts of data we don't have prefixes for yet.

Firefox makes a fuss about anti-fingerprinting, and I have "Enhanced Tracking Protection" set to Strict, yet I see uncommon values for WebGL Vendor and WebGL Renderer in https://amiunique.org/fp . Unless this study feeds into changing things like that, it seems a bit pointless.
I have the same issue and for me there is a simple difference:

I probably use homebrew for a handfull of tools, in debian etc. my packagetmanager manages everything.

> Stuff like boondocking, stealth camping, vagrancy, and alternative living is relatively speaking more popular than people would think and really only kept in check by the threat of the justice system and active policing.

I really hate when people feel the need to interject this kind of statement into a discussion about homelessness. Unless we had viable alternatives, it's impossible to know what percentage of people on the streets are just out there for a lark. My gut feeling is, it's an extremely low percentage. When it's sub freezing and I rider my bike past a 55 year old trying to sleep on a concrete bike path under a bridge with nothing but a couple of shitty blankets, I don't think he's a tourist. If I was going to do hobo tourism, I'd head for Florida or California, not Seattle or Portland.

But lets assume some number of these guys really, genuinely want to have sleep in half frozen mud puddles. We can still put up housing for the people who don't want that. Give people the option to get a decent roof over them.

Then once we're sure the people still sleeping on Main Street are doing it because they genuinely enjoy being outdoors, you can talk about active policing and the justice system on whoever is left.
I do find it odd how many people would apparently support Bezos or another random billionaire raising a private army and taking over 20-odd african countries with it (you know, the necessary prerequisite to _actually_ ending world hunger), but it takes all sorts I suppose.

I think that's a false dichotomy. I think there are plenty of "normal" Apple consumers who may not be an HN-level hacker but would still be considered "developers".
There's no objective measure of value and the amount the workers are paid is more a function of their (very little) power: if those types of workers vanished, Amazon would not have any value.
Why don't they just go make their own app store? Who do they think they are that they believe they have some right to someone else's hard drive. They're private companies brO!
None of this is in contrast with what I'm saying, no? I would expect an international organization (like Wikimedia) to throw small "staff" parties all over the world, and maybe the CEO would come to some of those to give members at that location recognition.
HK used to be more stable and is a highly visible global node that is well connected, exports cultural products, and is home to foreign offices for a lot of companies. It’s very easy to cover HK given that, say, the NYT has been there for the past few decades and has staffers who have directly observed changes throughout that time.

My impression of Kashmir is that the situation hasn’t been positive for a very long time, and all the other factors are either less true or don’t apply.
The current party in power in India is removing minimum purchase prices for produce. This is akin to removing minimum wage for farmers in a market where it would be financial ruin for most farmers and give way to corporate farms leading the way.

The farmers were peacefully protesting and the government has reacted by attacking them quite brutally etc.. recently they've also issued FIRs (effectively arrest warrants) for foreigners who've voiced their support for the farmers on Twitter.

Generally the government is trying to keep exposure to these events as low as possible. Twitter is obviously not beholden to their wishes.
Ironically both problems have the same cause. Women do more of the child rearing and household chores. The wage gap is actually mostly a motherhood gap, if you look at the statistics.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find 1 in 10 divorces that "benefit" the man more than the woman. Just my intuition, I don't have any statistics on that. I have a really hard time calling that gender neutral.
even on old infrastructure its already apt and nothing else anymore. So they advanced.
I thought we'd hashed this out about 20 years ago and Stallman et al had retreated back to their basic-HTML caves to think about other things.
That's what I want.

I build web apps for a living, and I used to do it by contracting. I don't have time, patience or interest for fiddly configuration. I want a mostly-good initial experience so I can get on with my work rather than mess about with my tools. I'm aware there's some gain to be had by knowing more about my tools, but the payoff isn't obvious enough to make me change my ways.

Thanks for being mostly-great, brew.
'Coup Attempt' of Reddit's Wallstreetbets Forum Is Averted
Out of curiosity, can you explain to me what kind of workflow you have that requires you to have lots of tabs concurrently open?

Maybe it's my own neuroses, but that would feel to me like writing notes and never clicking "save". I get anxious if I have more than 5 or 10, and I'll usually bookmark any tabs that I really need.

Besides why you work this way, I'm curious how? How can you keep track of large numbers of tabs open at one time?

Amazon's "grotesque" profits come from AWS. Probably not many $15/hr workers contributing there.

Also, Amazon does not have anything near a monopoly on warehouse work. Are you kidding with that?
> this is just a private company deciding who is and isn't allowed on their platform.

No, this actually is censorship because a government ordered that it be done.
How was your publication record during your PhD and Postdoc? What kind of related output did you have during your time in industry (patents, collaborations with any institutions, mentoring of junior devs or co-op students)? Will you want to springboard your research from your postdoc work or start anew? These questions are rhetorical mostly, but will be major parts of your application.

I ended up starting a startup based on the research program I had pitched for that tenure-track position. I didn't have a post-doc to springboard from and the university didn't have the equipment (MRI scanners) for me to continue from my PhD work. I welcomed the opportunity for a change anyhow.

I've had to wind down the startup last fall unfortunately. We had launched a pilot, which covid-19 killed. Ran out of money. Looking for my next opportunity right now actually.
Not the OP, but I share hir antisocial attitude. But here's how I frame it: humans are a result of an undirected design process whose only quality metric is reproductive fitness. As a side effect of this process, we ended up with brains that care about things other than reproductive fitness, things like beauty and mathematical elegance and self-actualization and discovery for its own sake. As a consequence of this, we ended up inventing birth control. That invention is distinguished among human inventions because it is an immediate existential threat to our short-term reproductive fitness: genes that make brains that choose not to have children don't reproduce as well (in the short term) as genes that make brains that, say, have an instinctive revulsion against using birth control, and which (say) take seriously the idea that the Creator of the Universe commanded them to be fruitful and multiply. The problem is that those people still have access to the leverage provided by technology, and so now they pose an existential threat to civilization by way of carbon emissions.

So it's not so much "good one" vs "bad ones" as brains that optimize for short-term reproductive fitness vs ones that don't. It's not an epic struggle between good and evil, it's just, quite literally, evolution in action. Like all living things, I want "my side" to win. The tricky bit is deciding where "my side" ends and "the other" begins. Everyone has to struggle with that.
Sorry but citing technical similarities doesn't salvage the Dyna-soar argument for me. Dyna-soar program was a manned bomber/reconnaissance platform. The recent efforts of advanced nations centers on missile development. The lack of a mission for the former has nothing to do with the latter.

The difference is so great that I feel the use of Dyna-soar in this context to be misleading, and that probably deliberate.

Can you comment on implementation / challenges of using Matrix for this?

I've been working on a dumb git-like and been needing to add syncing. Being a git-like it could just centralize via SSH, but i had also debated a P2P platform like Matrix or IPFS.

You use case UI-embedded Matrix interaction is especially interesting to me, because some of the UIs i plan for on this git-like are WASM based, Offline enabled PWAs.

Thanks for your work here, super interesting!
That’s a modern interpretation.

At the time it was written ‘militia’ meant every able bodied adult male, and ‘well regulated’ meant something like ‘suitably prepared’.

There are debates about this, but a simple modern reading of some kind of rule based army is not likely to be what was meant.
You can look at how many governments have managed to keep websites they don't like down. Thepiratebay and tons of other illegal sites are still available today in most places of the world even where they are illegal.

If we didn't have the free open web and instead just had appstore like gatekeepers none of those sites would be allowed to exist.
Then it would have been written in that Boris and Natasha English.

> Quite frankly, I don't pay any attention to what my effective tax rate is. It is only brought up when debating politics
> Please tell me when you care day-to-day about effective tax rate (other than tax return time and arguing on the internet). Why would you?

I didn't suggest that you should pay attention to effective tax rate, nor give any guidance about personal finance. You're arguing a totally different subject (personal tax optimization strategies) than the one I addressed (misrepresentation of the effective tax rates in CA).

The GP's post I replied to was specifically political in its misrepresentation of marginal tax rates as the effective tax rates, which is why I wrote:

> The GP said "a 20-something engineer at a six-figure salary can tell you how much of that they get to keep.", which can only mean "effective tax rate".
hahahah.

yes, SEC needs to shut this down. it’s right on their list after punishing hedge funds for shortselling shares that don’t exist. /s
> Yes, but it's you who usually manage those mirrors,

That's not true for most people.
That one doesn't seem unreasonable. They have a "we only support tagged releases" policy. mpv moved away from tagging releases for a bit, and their latest tagged release couldn't build on current MacOS. So they switched it to the part of their system (casks) that supports downloading and installing arbitrary binaries instead.

I think it's a fair conflict, too. For a package manager, saying "just download and compile master wherever it is right now" is rough, and I can understand them not wanting to have to look at mpv's repo and pick a good commit to pin as their "release". Offloading picking a stable release point to someone else is legitimate.
If this can play Elf Bowling, I'm in.
Show HN: Git Interactive Rebase Tool
I recently released a major overhaul of a personal project I've been working on and using for about four years. I posted this on HN many years ago, but it didn't receive much traction at the time and I want to know what everyone thinks!

The tool is a sequence editor for those who do interactive rebases with Git. It allows for easy editing of the rebase sequence/todo file. Recently, I added support for showing a commit diff as well as much improved better cross-platform support. The tool is highly configurable, with hopefully reasonable defaults. I plan to continue adding new features (merge rebases being next on the list) in the future.

For those of you who still remember it, CubeWorld was a Minecraft-like RPG game that had a wildly popular Alpha, was eventually abandoned by its developer, was later revived, and was then universally vilified by the masses because the developers "ruined" the game.

Veloren is the spiritual successor to CubeWorld, made by disappointed fans wanting something better.

The root of the problem is a lack of self control, and putting things in scarier packaging will not solve that problem. It's sort of like distributing tissues as a solution to the COVID pandemic, it's just addressing a symptom.

Why would we restrict our charity to this country? Let's solve real problems, which mostly exist in other countries. Unrestricted access to soda and Twinkies is not a real problem.

In addition, prohibition does not work. It doesn't work with alcohol, it doesn't work with drugs, it doesn't work with gambling, and it won't work with cake.

Also, are they going to ban election deniers from other countries? I read about one election in an African country where someone got more than 100 percent of the vote (more votes than there were voters, oops). Should we ban people who deny that election?
Unless it is Parler then most Hacker News threads are pro censorship.
Apple and Google made business decision to be gatekeepers to their platforms. This resulted in great profit for the companies, but at great cost of user freedoms.

Many people have celebrated Apple and Google censor and deplatform their competition and others with political bias. It’s a private company, they can do whatever they want.

Pakistan is private country, they can do whatever they want. Now, they are using their powers to force Apple and Google censor and deplatform.

Slippery slope is slippery and water is wet. As the saying goes, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Generally people use the term ‘believe in’ to mean ‘recognize as the basis of our democracy’ in this context.
> Amazon arguably has monopoly power over this type of job, which means there isn't competition for the workers, and they aren't paid correctly.

How is that true? The pool of workers that Amazon employs for warehouse jobs is unskilled which Amazon certainly does not have a monopoly on. Walmart & McDonalds are in this category and are two of the largest employers in the world.
Meh. Remember Bill Gates presenting Windows 95 feature Plug'n'play, and the blue screen of death? The product wasn't exactly a failure, regardless.

Most of the objections have been solved with Remarkbox. Users do not need an account to comment. We email you when new comments happens you can control how often by modifying your notification settings (immediately, daily, weekly digests)

The population of people with ad blockers is low, for example I'm a tech person but I do not use ad-blockers.

I hope you reconsider, I'd offer you white glove support to move.

As for spam it's not much of an issue on Remarkbox, but if it becomes a problem akismet will be integrated so you can apply your own API keys. This will filter the likely spam from the likely ham.

Have a great day!

I've seen this before, going all the way back to Gnu Gnash all the way up to Shumway (which was functional in the same way all the others were). The simple parts, typically the things from the AS1/AS2 world, are simple. As you get into the AS3 world there's a drop-off. I don't see anything in this project that hasn't been done before.
