> "Buying up small apps in the Google Chrome or Mac app store."

This is a focus of mine. I've recently acquired a Mac app and I have a hunch that there are a lot of small Mac apps producing small but reliable income.

I had Ricochet. It was OK, but slow. It used little units bolted under street lights, with a little spiral antenna pointed down. It was abandoned in place some years later. You could still use it to talk to nearby locations, but the connection to the external Internet was gone.

It's certainly possible to build a 900MHz mesh network, but it can't deliver much bandwidth. Email and SMS, yes. Voice, only on slow days. Today's web, no way. It would be like building a network for Blackberries.

One of the more successful off-grid comm systems is SailMail.[1] This is worldwide email, over 10MHz, for boats. Down at 10MHz, radio can cross oceans. This was a side project of Stan Honey, who invented car navigation systems. He's seriously into sailing and holds records for crossing the Atlantic, sailing around the world, and such. So he developed this for the long-distance sail community. They maintain about 25 fixed stations around the world, and if you can connect to any of them over HF, you can send and receive email.

Ask HN: How do you influence your future self?
Does anybody do day-to-day things aimed at influencing their future self? I often schedule calendar events or self-emails with motivational/“think about X” messages. Sometimes if I’m feeling a particularly strong emotion, I also record a pep talk to my future self.

Wondering if anyone else does something similar?

The SVP was considered a xenophobic party a long time before Twitter existed.

Here's an article from 2000 about the referendum on the migrant quota. You can read about the SVP's initiative and reaction here: https://www.swissinfo.ch/ger/18-prozent-initiative-deutlich-...

Here's another article from 2000 comparing different right-wing parties in Western Europe (including the SVP) and also mentioning xenophobia as part of their make-up: https://monde-diplomatique.de/artikel/!1243322

Here's an article from 2002 about then SVP-president Oskar Freysinger and his infamous poetry. Please read what he wrote and explain how it's not xenophobic: https://www.nzz.ch/article8J5AD-1.443107

Here's an article from 1999 about a thank-you letter written by SVP-cantonal president Christoph Blocher to the holocaust-denier Jürgen Graf: https://www.bielertagblatt.ch/nachrichten/vermischtes/kontro...

It really doesn't take a lot of digging to understand what the SVP stands for. I mean today their initiative for a ban on burqas/niqab went through with 52% of the vote despite there only being around 20-30 burqa/niqab wearers in all of Switzerland.

I often do see this take that whatever Twitter might currently be mad at is supposedly a hysterical view on things, yet it seems this automatic opposite view is never seen for the hyperbole it is.

Popular YouTubers who are building their own sites
To save you a click the reasons are:

* Some digits can be easily mistaken (e.g. 8 and 0).
* Sometimes the contrast between lit and unlit segments is too low.
* If you turn the display upside down it might still look valid (pretty sure this was a Jonathon Creek plot).
* You can't tell if a segment is off or broken (e.g. an 8 with a broken middle would be indistinguishable from 0).

Honestly not that convincing. I mean they're not exactly wrong, but they're not really fatal either, and anyway nobody uses 7-segment displays because they think they're the best displays possible for the job.

However for anyone using a 7-segment display this should be required reading! It has lots of good design advice.

Despite the claims - apple devices through the apple care program have a good repair story.

If you have an elderly relative or parents, really consider an apple device with apple care, they can walk in and out if needed to an in person store. I've seen nothing simpler. They do some basic checks, will in a fair number of cases just swap you onto a new phone, then send your other phone to be looked at more closely.

There are no 5 calls to a script reading overseas call center, no mailing it in and back.

They seem to staff reasonably for calls in, and can actually solve problems. The only other company that can solve problems like this I've used is Amazon (who refunded me an $800 charge five minutes after my inquiry despite it having been recorded incorrectly in return system so I could have REALLY imagined lots of ways this would have gotten stuc). In short, this agent was able to single handedly (maybe with an internal escalation I didn't notice) get an $800 exception approved and I had money two days later. Calling google, samsung, huwai, dell even etc for stuff is a joke by comparison. Go to this forum, sign up for this paid support plan, pay this charge upfront.
Gave Publii a try a few months back. My impressions:

the good

Comes with a great, minimalist editor UI built in

The templates available are very well designed

Great SEO defaults (and amp support) out of the box (a huge problem for most SSGs)

the bad

Completely removes the entire value of a SSG for me - custom building features into sites is not at all easy or intuitive

The editor can only be run locally on a single desktop machine - also a non-starter for me

Ultimately I think publii would be great for a humble 1 person blog, with no commercial aspirations.

If you’re trying to build a business, and still want the ease of updating, go with Webflow (or Wordpress, if you’re non-technical).

I'm not sure it's fair to say "independently reinvented". They know the previous work, at least some of it. Their contribution is to add the word "ergodic" here and there and tell the reader that "Growth rate optimization is now sometimes called ‘ergodicity economics’".

If you've got projects and significant open source contributions, thats some of the best resume material out there. I can't speak for others, but I don't ever pay attention to degree or uni stuff during our hiring rounds. Whats most important is being able to see a project, check out the link (or repo) and clearly understand ones contributions. But don't inflate it -- be honest. If you're truly active on Github, focus on that, which is clearly a strength.
I am thinking of things like Slate Star Codex. Scott would have continued to write even if he hadn't been able to run ads, because he can't not write. That is the kind of thing I want to see more of, instead of people creating content to get famous.

Right but it's just the `for` bit that's `comptime` right? The loop is unrolled and the loop condition must be `comptime`.

It makes sense to me that `comptime for` means that the `for` is `comptime` but the body of the loop isn't.

"There's no such thing as a "correct result" because people's preferences (utility) varies by individual."

But there are incorrect results and setting U to anything other than log (Wealth) results in an incorrect result.

"It can also happen in other cases that EE cannot be used to explain the preferences of the agent while EUT is still applicable because a utility function (maybe logarithmic, maybe not) can be found which describes them adequately."

I just told you that you can not use an utility function other than log (Wealth). Any other utility function you use will give you a mathematically incorrect result. The log (Wealth) term covers up the maths error, so it can't be changed to another term.

If you want to do something like that then you need to use the maths from EE.
Potentially yes. But I find a lot of people are innovating for free as well - depends on your financial circumstances and goals.

This is interesting but I think it's just a matter of time before the dam breaks and all the tech companies with a UK presence start increasing salaries to get more competitive. The same thing happened in NYC around 2015-2020. At some point money talks and the bullshit starts to walk.

I know someone who is moving from NYC to the UK to run an engineering team at a FANG company. He'll want to hire the best engineers and be willing to pay for them. And I know he wouldn't have taken that job if it didn't come with a big pay increase.

Boeing recognized this on their flight deck gauges. A gauge would use both a needle (digitally rendered) and a numeric value, reaping the benefits of both. They went even further - the gauge display would be green, amber, or red depending on good, caution, bad. This makes it real easy to check the instruments quickly - all green => everything is good.
> My best solution right now is a UPS box, which gives you a proper street address.

USPS maintains a very immaculately curated list of CMRAs (Commercial Mail Receiving Agents). It's not hard because they need to register with USPS in order to receive mail on behalf of customers who pay them for mail-receiving service. USPS is allowed to deny them mail delivery if they refuse to register, and does.

Every place that wants to know your residential address, and insists that it is actually residential, checks the address you provide against this list.

Side note: I knew a woman who bought a storefront that had previously been a mailboxes-etc type place. It was a complete nightmare for her, none of the banks or insurers or credit card companies would believe that was her business' physical address because it was on that list. Apparently it takes 1-2 years to fall off the list. Eventually she had to switch to a small local bank and have the bank manager come to physically inspect the location so they could override the databroker software.

> renting a cheap studio somewhere

That's an ongoing recurring cost. Also nobody will rent a place unless it's (somewhat) inhabitable; buying an uninhabitable toxic dump is actually cheaper than renting anything that can be advertised as inhabitable.

Last of all, I am completely fed up with landlords insisting on credit checks. The data brokers exploit this like you wouldn't believe. That's why they have such perfectly accurate residential addresses for all renters.

> peace-of-mind than dealing with property taxes, crime, pests,

Property taxes are beyond easy. You don't even need to receieve the bill! The amount you owe is a matter of public record, and on the web in almost every jurisdiction. Once a year: look it up, buy a postal money order with cash, write the parcel number on it, mail it, done. Property taxes are also based on the value of the property, so for a toxic dump the taxes are tiny.

Crime and pests don't matter if you don't visit the location. Take the mailbox off the front of the house after closing so no mail can be delivered there by accident.

Definitely buy it through an LLC so that long-tail events (it burns down taking the neighbor's house with it, kids break in and injure themselves, etc) don't come back to you.
> This seems a trivial and no-brainer and yet you will be surprised how many Americans will be simply denied this sort of service after birth

The whole "centralized ID means your government will oppress minorities" narrative seems like a mostly american concept.

I imagine part of it is due with the US's particularly bad history with minorities, and part of it is a general defiance against any kind of centralization that also seems kind of unique to american culture.

Speaking as someone living in a country (France) that has had centralized ID for decades, it feels really weird to see people describing what a dystopian future American would become if it did that thing we do right now.

(and yes, ID card checks are used as an excuse for racial profiling; and the lack of an ID card is used to track down undocumented immigrants, and that's bad; but it's a symptom of other problems, and it's nowhere as bad as "centralized = black people are denied access to social services")
> BankID doesn't store any information

I work with systems that use BankID identification, and know for a fact that you are wrong, because many (though not all) of the data-points collected by the banks can be retrieved for payment.

For instance, if you just logged-in with the service I work with, I can retrieve your full-name, birthdate, your marital status, name of your spouse, their birthdate, any children and their IDs and names, where you live, your home and cellphone number, and many many other data points.

From a service owned by a small group of private banks.

Perfect, thanks, that's what I was looking for (and none of the news coverage seems to mention).

So when you want to sell a tweet, Valuables verifies who you are and that you own the account (presumably), they produce one certificate and promise never to produce another, and then it goes into the blockchain.

So now there is one and only one entry for this tweet in the Valuables Twitter namespace, but there can be more from other organizations and on other blockchains.

It's going to become even more of a collectors' item when Valuables shuts down, or Twitter changes their URL scheme, or we're not using https:// anymore ;)
> Plus some people don't know when to ask for help, or when they're (for instance) duplicating effort.

The problem is you have a huge principle-agent problem with these non-profits. In a standard corporate structure, shareholders elect members of the board who can replace the management. But who elects the board of a non-profit? Why not those who donate to them? There has to be some reliable mechanism to impose accountability by those who give funds.

Now lacking a mechanism for accountability, people give funds with all sorts of strings attached. But wouldn't it be better to give funds with a voting interest attached to the board instead?

US prisons house about 0.7% of the population, or about 1.4M people (depending on the source).

The US has about 200,000 CEOs. Not all CxO’s are crooks, but if they were, we could jail all the CEO’s and an average of 6 of each one’s direct reports using our existing prison infrastructure.

I’d wager the average criminal CxO does significantly more ongoing damage to society than the average person in US prisons would if released.
I think it is perfectly reasonable to think that counselling correlates with divorce. People normally only go through counselling when things go wrong, and divorces also happen when things go wrong. I guess people are more likely to die after seeing a doctor for the same reason.

Refusing counselling against the advise of a specialist is another metric. And while I think that indeed, it correlates with higher divorce rates, it is not obvious at all and it took a few studies to get that result.
> Maybe when people use the term 'nation' they actually mean 'state'?

Yes, they do.

No, it doesn't. We keep telling you this, over and over and over, and you keep not listening, but I'm going to say it one more time: No, it doesn't. When you're talking about international things - things between countries - "nation" by and large refers to the government, not the people.
