> it assumes that you, the current holder of the money, are more responsible than those other folks.

I don't know, but I have a track record of success, while they have a track record of failure, so I am a bit doubtful it will change.

For example, I have a very deserving friend. I want to make sure he succeed. But I will never give in any crypto, as it would sell it the next day because he is afraid of variations. Likewise with money.

Instead, when I hear he is struggling, I hire him to perform some work that will benefit him in his carrier, to gently nudge him while providing money but not as a gift since in my experience it breaks people spirit.

> I also think you're getting a lot of downvotes because you are speaking from a very unsympathetic position, but it is an interesting discussion so I'd urge you not to get discouraged.

I am a bit- I have tried keeping a simple message for years to people who want to make money - before the last bull market, it was something like invest 1 or 2 grands in crypto, just money you can afford to lose, it will get you a brand new car (feel free to check my posting history, I don't remember the specific wording)

I even said that to arcticbull, who frequently diss crypto here.

And a few month later, those who listened got their car. Most people thought I was talking funny. It was lost on them. I find that very sad.

> If that's not an option then there are a number of good and responsible charities

I am now convinced money will do nothing, whether you have it or not, or at best very little. What matters is foresight and leverage, to convert your ideas into implementations. Leverage can be obtained - VC do that if you have charisma.

Fortunately for me I will not need them, as I am low on charisma! Still, biotech will be the next boom - whether it is augmenting humans, curing cancer, achieving immortality, it will bring lot of happiness.

This is interesting and I can help make it happen. It will help many orders of magnitude more people than my money could. So I am learning biology. Hopefully it I will help me infuse money at some very precise chokepoints where it will be able to act as a positive enabler. In crypto, I saw that happen by people who have built the likes of coinbase.

Exactly, the company needs to know whether to tell the other candidates in queue to go away, or pause for a while. They can't wait indefinitly so an expiration on the offer is reasonable.

That said, don't take the expiration date too seriously, it's not a hard deadline. If you want a bit more time just say so.
He usually has a hard time reading his essays. I don't think he was making a statement on this particular one.
Not sure how someone could make that mistake. In SF the water is on left and Maine the water is on right.
Yeah but you have to install 100+mb into a .vsserver folder to get it to work
There is a difference between trying to determine the highest price somebody may be willing to pay and auctioning off to the highest bidder (with an AI trying to guess the auction prices also being a kind of auction). The point is exactly that somebody with a heart attack has the option to pay more so that they can a ride.
Yes it would be nice to be able to detect "this person has a heart attack, let's give them a free ride to the hospital". But it is not really viable in practice yet. So giving them an option to pay more is the second best option.

Now they decided to remove that option, so how are people with heart attacks supposed to get to the hospital?
This is inaccurate.

Money has worth because of the value a region generates.

If you have 10 units of currency and then 10 more are printed with no more value generated you have inflation.

If you keep 10 units of currency but more value is generated you have deflation.

If you just change who has the 10 units of currency that's not inflationary or deflationary, that's redistribution of the value.

UBI is just giving workers back some of the value they have generated that has been capture by the owner class.

It's funded not through 'printing press go brrr' (deficit spending) but through actual redistribution of that value more equitably.
I don’t get the fascination with macOS keyboard shortcuts, people always mention the copy thing that you did and it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.
I think it's an important distinction - it's "easy to use" as in you can put things on the screen, play sound, etc without having to read documentation or deal with boilerplate logic/steps longer than the custom code needed. It's not "easy to use" as in Unity where you want to have some complex physics apply to some premade models with certain rendering effects so you learn where to go to get each of those things and how to drop them in together and bam you have a significant portion of a game made for you.

I.e. if you're goal is to make a more advanced game with some polish no it's not great. On the other hand if your goal is to get some simple stuff to appear on the screen in the way you want and interact with it it's great.
I don’t mean to never create systems, I never said that, did it come across as me implying this? To explicit state my intent, it’s that you should strive to create as few new systems as necessary, but you’re very obviously going to need to create SOMETHING...?
Please don't take HN threads into these extremely repetitive, generic ideological places. It just leads to tedious, ever-the-same flamewar. There's actually an interesting historical story to discuss about the OP, and comments like this (and the inevitable avalanche of replies) drown it out.

If you're genuinely curious, there are ways of satisfying that which don't damage the forum, e.g. a web search.
How is that related to the Lindy Effect? Just throwing in the word "survive" doesn't automatically mean the Lindy Effect is in play...
Do you plan to just offer the API or build a SaaS around it?

We're making Saasform (see profile), but mostly focused on the SaaS. For example right now we don't support metered subscriptions. If interested please feel free to reach out directly.
What? No. If I travel I might be watching netflix on my laptop while on the move but on the smart TV at home
I wonder what the gas costs are in comparison, contact deployment is reasonable expensive. I wonder if that's why they modeled it this way.
In my experience Eastern Europe. My personal number 1 is not even in thier top 20. For me, the time shift between the US and India or China has made working with outsourcers in those places futile.
For me it makes sense to create a component class in that case, using Tailwind‘s `@apply` to add the generic padding:

.button {
@apply py-2 px-4;
}

This ensures CI elements are styled the same way everywhere, but still relies on the Tailwind config to figure out what „2 abstract units of vertical padding“ mean in your application.
I went in the other direction about 5 years ago after 20 years of always installing Emacs on every computer I ever used. Vim has had a much bigger impact on my productivity.

Partly because of excellent plugins (VSCode, Visual Studio), partly because, for some reason I bothered to learn Vim shortcuts to degree I never did with Emacs. And I just love that vi and vim is quick and available on my various cloud servers.

Once in a while I toy with the idea of going back and using evil mode (I keep reading about org mode).
Take for example, incremental search. Emacs has it by default. Vi being older didn't have it, but vim has it. It has to be turned on. Then it doesn't work as well as emacs. In emacs you can type to search then ctrl+s to move to next match then continue to type to edit the search string, and so on. This is just one example. Replace has advantages in emacs when it comes to case matching. And it goes on and on.
I witnessed a poor chap at the ticket counter at Dulles airport desperately trying to convince someone to flag him a taxi to drive him to Dallas to make his meeting.
Disclaimer: I haven't read any the technical details of how this works.

In decentralized systems, shouldn't nodes suffer repercussions for dishonest behaviour which outweigh the potential gain? Which could mean (complete conjecture here) the archaeologist node would no longer be able to participate in the network, and would stand to lose out on more money that way.

I have no idea if the sarcophagus protocol/network actually provide the correct measures to ensure nodes can't be incentivized to do this. I would hope so though, it's like 'decentralized network 101'
I tried to use Tailwind to style a project, built in Rails, with server-rendered HTML templating. I found that it was too much work to keep it all straight in vanilla HTML. But I could see Tailwind being a great fit if I started a project using, say, Vue components. In that world, Vue helps remove some of the repetition by hiding it in higher-order components.
Humans and Mistakes
Tailwind was a breath of fresh air for me.

I have a friend who's honeymoon was completely paid - first class flights and ~three weeks worth of all inclusive 5 star hotels/resorts - all on points.

His father ran his entire construction company paying everything he could on the highest rewards based credit card available at the time. He apparently put over 12 million through it in two years. (I suspect it was about an order of magnitude lower than 3% cashback on that, but it was still a nice chunk of honeymoon and travel bills paid "for free", or more accurately by the bank and their merchants, and probably at least somewhat passed on to the construction company's customers in prices high enough to cover the credit card rewards scheme...)
I’m pretty confident they have efficient fire suppression systems.

They are hosting at least 400,000 servers. They for sure have multiple servers taking fire every single day, and yet it’s the first time it ends up in a catastrophic fire.

The fire suppression system either catastrophically failed, or something out of design happened with one of their inverters, as suggested in the video.
....asking the immigrant?
Yeah but that money will come FROM the landlords and big business to pay the UBI.

IT's not inflationary. Its redistribution.
I spent many hours of my youth spending $6.25 (in 1987 dollars!) an hour to play British Legends on Compuserve at 300 baud (plus telephone fees, which were, by today's standards, extremely expensive). Compuserve used to charge you $12 an hour if you logged in at 1200 baud.

Who puts the table of contents in the middle of the content? Below that is where you'll find the "What does this do exactly?" section, which really should be the first thing on the page. Why does the opening section say "Seamless copy and paste with all apps and terminals"? Seems to have nothing to do with the project.

Molson Coors beer production disrupted after cyberattack
I wonder if someone already converted his beer consumption into American beer units, or whether he really drank 17 German beers. Because at 0,5l a beer, that wouldn’t leave much else to do all day.
I think you'll find that the first amendment is much more limited in strength than you would like to think.

There is a long history of the US courts abrogating free speech. "Shouting fire in a crowded theater" originated as a metaphor to justify preventing pacifists from distributing anti-draft pamphlets.

If the televangelist can be demonstrated in court to not believe the stuff he is telling people to make money, I see no reason why fraud charges shouldn't stick.
People are allured by the rapid prototyping aspects of Tailwind which is the main bait. It's pretty fast to see results immediately without openining the css file.

This an interesting psychological point to discuss IMO, we get lured to things that feel "fast" but actually aren't.
Stack Overflow in 2009 is an example of something that's cacheable extremely well, several orders of magnitude than stuff like personalized walls for every user.
I’ll also point out they trade in volume - they may run 9 romaine at a loss to successfully sell one, putting all in profit - if you increase the cost to them by a small amount, it decreases their profit substantially. Most Dotcom owners can probably afford $200/year for a domain.
It feels a lot more ergonomic, especially if you switch between cli and gui applications a lot. It's one thing I really miss when going from my work Mac to my home Linux machine.
Why not use some sort of fauxopen license?

Let anyone read the code and run it but only for testing and hobby purposes.

This would be like offering a trial version with the advantage that people can easily offer tiny fixes and letting people make changes for their particular use cases.
Wait, so insurance and CC companies are the ones making the mistake?
I think this reflects the reality that for a product with low marginal costs, bundling provides better value for the consumer. If a company is going make the investment to build and operate a video streaming service and acquire you as a customer, it only costs them a few dollars more to let you watch the whole catalogue on demand (the effort to amass this catalog is largely amortized across the customer base). Competing for each individual pay per view purchase is a much worse business to be in, and that’s reflected in the poorer value proposition offered to customers. There’s also some price discrimination occurring (selling to people who really want to watch this specific movie that isn’t offered in their favorite streaming service, or who don’t watch enough movies to subscribe).

The same can be observed in some other industries: museum membership, ski pass.
Can they legally even revoke your licenses to those games? Maybe they remove steam access but you’d still have the right to torrent those games?
There were bootcamps for AS/400 in the 1990s.
I guess I don't understand your reply. This is a critique of tailwind and the best you can say about it is that it's an existing documented system somebody else might know? I love standards, there are so many to choose from, but on the face of it tailwind doesn't seem like the best standard to choose.

In places where I might find tailwind appropriate, I could use just the even more common standard of bare CSS properties.
Apparently! I don't have any Canon gear and I'm not sure I'd reflash it if I did, although if their software is as unergonomic as I've found their hardware to be, I might - that said, while I can't try it out for myself, a bit of searching does turn up any number of howtos on the subject.
sveltejs/kit
When I see something like that, I feel genuinely ashamed I didn't do it myself yet. This is so stupid and impractical (seriously, imagine having an email address no email form validator even accepts), that it must be successful.

So, congrats, OP.
Not true. UBI is a redistribution policy, not an inflationary policy.
Throttle number of connected devices?
Part of it must be to enforce address requirements.
It’s the YC model. Throw money at smart upper-class kids in good schools with some ambition. Once in a while, those kids make Dropbox or Airbnb, most of the time they make calendar widgets and leverage the experience to jump the line at some FAANG and start out their careers a decade ahead of their peers. It doesn’t make sense to you and I because it doesn’t make sense. It’s a lottery ticket for the investors. YC just games the system by buying most of the lottery tickets.
They don't understand redistribution vs inflation.
There really ought to be regulation around this. I fear it with Amazon and my Kindle library.

Maybe just not 100% right. That happens to many people.

If we can't observe something directly, because a photon disturbs it, there may be other ways. Like, create the same situation thousand times, always throw one photon at it, make a statistics of how the photon deflects, and try to explain it. Or just find the simplest model that fits the known data, and assume that the parts you cannot observe directly still follow the model... simply because there is no good reason to assume they don't.

If we take the logic of "if I can't verify it by experiment, it does not exist" too far, then Big Bang is also not real, because we can't replicate it in the lab. Actually, we should take quite seriously the idea that the universe was created at this very moment, because we can't create the yesterday in the lab either.
What css frameworks (a la bootstrap) are good to go with for that approach? any css framework that doesn't have JS?
There's two parts to it. One, that macOS has a proscribed way for apps to compose command, ctrl, and option for shortcuts, whereas it's basically the Wild West on the other platforms. So it's just generally nice on macOS.

The terminal thing is, in the grand scheme of things, minor, but a very nice QoL. It's annoying to mode shift from ctrl as a desktop environment modifier to ctrl as a unix modifier. Especially when ctrl+c can be quite a bit more destructive than "copy".

It's not like it's impossible to adjust, but it's very nice to have command+c do the same thing, everywhere.
Unfortunately, it is like in Harry Potter: you can only get some if you don't want some :) And yes, I have thought about giving it all. I would change nothing: I would make money again and find myself just as empty, with the same problem, except with less of my prime years to live and find a solution.

BTW, you made your account in 2012. You have know about crypto for 9 years. If you had invested even a hundred dollars in 2012, or the next year you would not need to ask. HN has a lot of blame for the number of bright young hackers that were discouraged to invest in crypto.
Take your pinky and touch it to the tip of every other finger on the same hand, now take your thumb and do the same. Which is easier?

This is the difference between a command based shortcuts and ctrl based shortcuts (unless you are using a non-standard ctrl key).

There is a reason why people get "emacs pinky" but no-one gets "mac thumb".
At least it came with some perks!
With Karabiner Elements, AutoHotkey, and AutoKey you can get your favorite shortcuts on all three
But then why not go all the way and do

.button {
padding: var(--medium-padding) var(--medium-padding);
}

Or use LESS/SCSS/etc if the var(--) syntax is really that offputting.
Fraud can also be covered by the merchants, if thy didn’t use the chip. That’s why credit card companies are so eager to simply promote sales.

This is something that freaks me out about modern tech. Failure rates might be low, but a failure could be catastrophic for the person impacted.

I remember seeing something similar in Ubiquiti's UniFi forum a few years back. Their WAPs and switches connect to a management portal you can self host and, after treating both http and https interchangeably forever, they decide https should be actual https. Before that, you could type https://..., but the communication would not use TLS.

They had customers with misconfigurations because they were consistently typing their inform (aka server) URL as https:// instead of http:// during device configuration. As soon those devices were updated, the new firmware would expect a proper TLS connection for https:// URLs, so it would fail.

I remember one person in the forum thread saying they bulk updated 600 devices spread across 300 sites and they all disappeared. That person made mistakes, but the configuration they were using was working, so why would they expect that to change? I tried to make the case that it should be considered a serious bug and part of the response was:

> We discussed this internally and decided to move forward because 1) we didn't feel that there would be many affected

That was a real eye opener for me and now I operate under the assumption that most tech companies won't have an issue completely ruining your life as long as it's only you or a small enough group of users that it won't have an impact on their bottom line.

In this case you're trusting asymmetric cryptography, the liveness of the EVM and the third parties is motivated by money.

i've always lamented the incompleteness of mac keyboard shortcuts compared to windows, but it's been a long time since i've used windows, so it's hard for me to remember specifics. but i do remember that multi-key shortcuts generally made more sense in windows. and you could alt-tab easily between windows of different applications, not just applications or just tabs/windows of the same application.
you could also nuke the whole planet's surface and there probably still life afterwards. The phrasing is not accurate, this is about human, not the planet. And as human we don't just want to survive, we want to live comfortably.

IMO, while the descriptive department is passable, the docs seriously lack on the prescriptive side. What I found extremely helpful when dabbling with Rust, is that every module in STD docs has a pretty comprehensive general description and usage suggestions, often accompanied by some examples. It really works great lifting the curse of knowledge for the uninitiated and it doesn't get in the way when the reader already knows what he's after as thse introductions are easily skippable.
