I really don't agree.

Anyone motivated by money would have stopped working that hard many, many Billions ago.
From my research, agreements signed outside of California are enforceable via a court in that other state.

Beware.
A loan against what collateral? What does someone making $20k per year have to put up as security for a loan? You're also assuming this person has little to no debt to begin with, so their debt to income ratio can sustain another loan. Banks don't lend money out of the kindness of their own hearts; you have to qualify, and that's much easier with a higher income than a below median income.

> Rejection by small groups/communities of what they consider "bad" content, or some collective rejection that feels more like censorship?

Voluntary rejection by individuals based on internal principals and a desire to avoid unhealthy media as a personal choice. No cancelling, no censoring, just people deciding not to expose themselves to such things, just as most choose not to drink all day, for example. There may be some social stigma that arises from this, but hopefully not much more than, "Ah, that's too bad."

This is all a pipe dream, however...
This is so old it's in the bible, or at least 1 Timothy 5:8 has been taken out of context to say it. "He has denied the faith, and is worse than the unbeliever."
This. There's consequences to bad software.

These are luxury goods, and luxury has always been built on exclusivity. When real supply is more than enough for demand, marketing and other artificial means are employed and have been used in many industries for a long time. Limited editions, invite-only sales, waiting lists, etc.
I think this point is very debatable, but I do think there's at least 2 good distinctions. 1) there's a difference between a corporate entity gathering data and a government. There's a difference those entities could potentially have on your life. In the latter case there is a bit of an arms race, like Google trying to grab all your data but also not sharing it with Facebook. In the latter case a government can consolidate all the data. 2) There's a big difference between your government collecting my data and my government collecting my data. This can go both ways too, but there's a lot of factors that dictate this: are our governments friendly with one another? Do I trust my government? How much? Do I trust your government? Etc.

They really aren't the same and personally I'd rather not have my data collected, but I'd rather it be dispersed with a corporate arms race who aren't allowed to set laws than an aggregate that belongs to a party that has much more control over my life.
I don't expect to generate any revenue from it, but if I start it's going to be a TUI MMORPG. Not exactly a MUD but a MMORPG with a roguelike interface. I'll use Dragonlance setting as a foundation and take out anything that is too complicated.

Town + Adventure map: ASCII tilemaps (could also be rendered bitmaps of ASCII chars instead of real ASCII chars).

Dungeon: First person viewport which is similar to what we have in early ULTIMA/MM/Wizardry games. Enemies appear as ASCII arts. Walls appear as vertical colored lines. There is no "roof" or "ground" in the game, to further simplify things.

The rendering engine should be flexible enough to be switched to graphics mode if needed in the future.

I don't intend to put up a lot of interaction into the game as it's too complicated for me. So you could say it's an ASCII version of Diablo based on Dragonlance.

I'll need someone to create ASCII arts for the project but I can probably do it by own (i.e. copy from somewhere else). I'll also need some 8-bit RPG music and I can grab some free ones for sure.
This is not a bug, this is by design. There is no possible way this wasn't spec'd as a test scenario to force payment compliance. They know they have leverage that a bank wouldn't have so they are using it.

I just installed it. I don't have much to add, but wanted to say: wow, this is awesome. I appreciated the How It Works section. I made a tiny open-source web app in a similar vein, though it just uses the naive approach (querying algolia on each page load).

No, undefined behaviour is a serious problem, especially regarding security.

There's a long history of serious security problems in C and C++ codebases due to unintended invocation of undefined behaviour. These issues continue to arise even in well-resourced C/C++ projects with highly skilled developers, such as the Linux kernel and Chromium.

After a decade deep into the Apple/iOS ecosystem, I now make a unique disposable Apple ID for each and every mobile device, and eschew all paid apps. I don't use iCloud at all. I don't use an Apple ID on desktops at all, save for one that has its own disposable one for certain essential apps that are not available elsewhere (Apple Configurator 2 is required to restore M1 macs).

Making entirely unlinked/unique Apple IDs is expensive because each one requires a working phone number to create.

This is really the only safe approach these days, given nonsense like this.

Because iCloud Backup is non-e2e (like most of iCloud) and thus permits Apple (and the FBI by extension without a warrant) to read whatever they want out of your phone's contents, I have to do manual corded backups periodically because Apple doesn't have their cryptographic shit together. :/

I have one old wiped phone that is signed in to my ~decade-old Apple ID for managing my Apple Card, which cannot be moved between Apple IDs (just like your purchases). I'll probably cancel the card soon and delete that account. I've already replaced all of the movies I foolishly bought years ago on iTunes with torrented copies.
FWIW I didn't read the gp as supporting data collection, only noting a difference between corporations gathering data and governments. I don't support data collection, but I do think the distinction is useful.
I think most people here are guily of double-think. Either you believe in capital punishment, or you believe in universal income, the third option is hypocracy.

If you don't believe in state sanctioned murder, then we have to clothe and feed and house people that commited horrible crimes.

Surely if a rapist deserves to be fed, so does an innocent person who can't find a job? Being useless is not a crime.

Also i dispute this qualification as lazy - some people are disorganised, not very clever, etc. You can only claim laziness if we had like a right to a job no matter what.
Then why does the airline industry thrive (recent events not included) with rampant price discrimination?
I think what Elon wants, money alone can't buy. It's taking him time and effort, as well as money, to help humans to become a multi-planetary species. This drive is why I've been a fan of Elon for so long.
This is being downvoted, but I think there's some truth here.

I had a stroke that resulted in some permanent loss of intelligence. Like most here, I started out a bit higher than average, but experienced what it was like to be below average (right after) and ramp up to a bit below where I was before (after 2 years).

My intelligence, and it's ability to show me the answers to difficult problems, the thing that gave me all of my success, is only very slightly tied to my efforts/education. I was lucky to have been born smart, and it's the only reason I "made it". Maybe I could have "made it" some other way, but it made my climb out of poverty so much easier. Not everyone will be able to climb as well.
Yes, that seems to be one example of particularly bad judgment, sharing this type of story with teenagers. Especially when, to a teenager, you often seem a million years old, and frozen in time in that way. Kids often can't realize that adults were once young and caught out too, especially ones with the gravitas of a NYT veteran reporter.

I'm sure to him it seems like a story of a young-ish man embarrassed and in over his head, but to a teen (especially one primed to think about colonialism and imperialism) it probably comes off as a story of an old white man with authority receiving vaguely sexual favors from young girls.
My stock conservative answer is, "I am concerned that there be equality of opportunity but not that there be equality of outcome." But that isn't really true. I am concerned about income inequality to the extent that it shows that the economy is broken to some extent.

I am not an economist, but it seems to me there do need to be some levers that can rebalance the system more in favor of labor, as opposed to capital. That would perhaps include the strengthening of labor unions, more taxpayer support of public universities, more skilled labor apprenticeship programs. Maybe then young people would be able to own homes without working multiple jobs.

Ask HN: How to Do Angel Investment
Hi Hacker,

I want to do some small angel investment. I can write check <$5k and looking to do a few investment this year.

I tried to signup to angel.co but never got an email from them for my qualification

Just curious how do get into angel investment? Any tips to invest? Any place to look would be great.

If you are working on some thing, I would love to talk as well. I like to invest in thing that I can use daily, Especially healthcare, education and infrastructure.
The Dixie Chicks are a great example. They vanished from the mainstream basically overnight. People still hate them to this day and probably don't even really remember what they said.
You must currently be outside of the U.S.? There is no location in the U.S. which has "200 other kinds of [EV] chargers" but no Tesla chargers.

EVgo is based in LA...but even in EVgo's home base it has fewer than 1/10th the number of chargers as Tesla. More embarrassingly for EVgo, Tesla has more chargers within 10 miles of EVgo's HQ than EVgo does.

The combined number of non-Tesla EV chargers in the LA area is fewer than the number of Tesla chargers (even without including limited-access Tesla chargers in this number, such as those in hotels or office buildings that are limited to the use of those buildings' guests or occupants), and most of the non-Tesla chargers are located just far enough away from anyplace you'd actually want to go that you'd have to drive out of your way to use them...and then spend 30 minutes hanging out on a dark, deserted street away from any shops or restaurants.

Tesla has done many things poorly, but the Supercharger network was the one thing they got right.
And most unfortunately, there is no regulation yet that would allow you to file a complaint with the CFPB or other regulatory body (maybe in California, with regards to access to your personal data under CCPA?) over Apple's overreach as a credit facilitator (as Goldman is the issuer for the card) if this is verified as expected behavior.
I assume that anything is spyware unless proven innocent, especially on mobile where surveillanceware is effectively the whole purpose for the platform's existence.
There is no clean separation of the political world and the judicial system. For example, impeachments are modelled after trials, but they are clearly of very political nature.

At the end of the day, up there in Washington, Mutually Assured Destruction prevails. Whatever you unleash on your opponents when in power, will be unleashed upon you when the winds change. In that situation, both Rs and Ds are better off only prosecuting outright murderers.

This isn't new, this was a problem already in Ancient Greece. Power and justice do not really mix well.
Wow, I hope this is a bug or similar. Wouldn't the card be issued by a partner bank? How this is supposed to legally implicit the products you buy from a separate company? Could it be that when the the card fails, the services paid by that card also fail to receive the payment, thus they get locked until a payment is made?

I remember stories about having an issue with an account on a Google property and losing all your access to all your Google accounts.

It's a prime reason to buy services from different companies.
looks really interesting! we’re a niche B2C with a global audience. We tried a bit of localized pricing in developing countries and synthetic currecies, but it seems tough to find the right price sweet spot. One odd thing we noticed was that localized prices don’t necessarily convert better. perhaps the perception of a lower nominal dollar amount vs higher local currency? eg $20 might be nearly 1500 rupee which “feel” way more expensive?? (just our theory)

What’s the minimum conversion/traffic for running robust experiments?

also how do you a/b test in the same country without risking people feeling lack of fairness?
I think then the best is to experience in the entire country at once. There is no need to only experiment on a small percentage of users.
In general, 1U and even 2U seems very dense to me. I think that 4U is the typical density that a typical office building could support.

Even 1-node in 2U is definitely getting into 220V dedicated outlets and dedicated buildings. 1U or 1/2U per node certainly exists, but you need to start spending a good amount of thought on power and cooling to actually support that kind of infrastructure.

-----------

> If you look at the 'wall of fans' in something like a Dell 1U dual socket system, there's eight or ten fans each of which if running at full speed can be an 8W to 10W load. This is necessary because you might have two 120W TDP CPUs under passive heatsinks that need a LOT of air pushed past them.

That's possibly an advantage here. ARM's are known for lower power consumption, so maybe the fans can run slower (and therefore draw less power). I'd have to think about these specs more though...

A 2-node x 1U ARM server might work out if these ARM servers have very low power requirements in a very strong "horizontal scale-out" kind of setup.

But its still hard for me to think exactly what the use case would be. An I/O based server would probably be better in 4U: for 50 to 100 Hard Drives on a beefier 4U Xeon or 4U EPYC chassis.

So its one of those "what's the use" products. Under typical circumstances, a 2U or 4U beefy server split up into multiple VMs probably is a superior architecture.

But having more "tiny" physical machines that are mostly independent (maybe sharing a PSU, but otherwise a fully independent node) for "bare metal hosting" has some benefits over VMs. I mean... do you want a single dual-socket 128-core EPYC in 4U or do you want 8x16 ARMs in 1/2U each.

I dunno, I think the 128-core dual-socket 4U EPYC is gonna be better for cooling, power, and VM-flexibility. At least, that's my instinct. Unless you know that you absolutely want individual non-VM nodes.

------

EDIT: The I/O options discussed here are exceptional. If low CPU-power but high I/O is needed (more SPF+ ports or whatever), then that's probably the ARM's advantage over a single dual-socket EPYC system.

EDIT2: 16x A72 seems weak. But 10Gbps SFP+ x4? That's... actually really really good. Might be hell to actually write software that takes advantage of all that bandwidth though.
I bought a Poco X3 NFC about a month ago, and also was confronted with the Xiaomi account signup request when I tried to enable USB debugging.

For me this was enough of a reason to send the device back, but I started fiddling around and ended up being able to use USB debugging without an Xiaomi account. I don't remember how I managed to do this, I think I had to disable a specific MIUI optimization. No ADB had to be used for this. I think it was this https://android.stackexchange.com/a/185876

I'm also pretty sure that I did not insert a SIM card at that point, because I was still using the device-to-be-replaced on that and the following days.

I think it's just a lot of tactics which they use in order to push you to create an account, but ultimately it's not required.

That being said, I really despise their MIUI, all their modifications. Everything about it attempts to make you use their products, even if Google's apps are already installed.

For me, the Android experience which the Pixel devices give you are all I want. Even Motorola's minor enhancements are something I don't want on a new phone.

> He really is happy for competition and wishes there was more of it.

Only if the competition is mediocre. If the competition takes away money, attention and admiration from Elon, he will not be happy.
> This reminds me of how we call Russian billionaires "oligarchs" but we just call American billionaires...billionaires.

Seriously, this is what you're going with?

Russigan oligarchs are people who just straight out stole national assets from the Soviet Union/Russia, with the help of the current ruler. There's a relatively clear definition:
