I don't use either but the hotmail/live/outlook system is a disaster.

I think people who have addresses there must just use them as throwaways as they don't seem to have much utility. You can be a small email sender with everything right, clean IP, on no block lists, SPF, DKIM, mta-sts. You can have no problems with any other major email provider. You can be signed up to SNDS. And they will just routinely block your IP for no reason and it will not even show up in SNDS and you can't resolve it through the tools they provide to mail senders on SNDS. So you have to go through this stupid process of filling in a support form which gives an automatic reply saying there is nothing to fix and you can't reply. But you do reply and then they fix it until next time.

There is no innovation there. I guess some accountant has determined that paying sweat shop labour to untick an IP every time their brain dead system blocks the same sender with no spam history is cheaper than actually fixing their systems. This is a flashback to 1990s Microsoft where their software was buggy as hell and your support options were power cycling or reinstalling.

They not only put their company name on this mess but offer it on outlook.com which creates an association with the pro email solutions they sell to a massive enterprise market. They should be embarrassed.
Think of it as another style altogether. Graphics back then used to look the way they looked because of technical limitations. We don't have those anymore. I personally don't miss the barely readable text despite it was set in huge letters. But I still enjoy a good hand crafted pixel art.

Horse Bots on Instagram?
I have an odd hobby of reporting Spam on Instagram. I recently have noticed a bunch of weird Russian horse bots on the National Geographic Instagram account commenting section. They all say stuff like "Hey", "Wowww", or "Nice" or (I'm guessing) similar in Russian. When I click on the accounts, they each have 10 photos that look like AI photos of horses (extra legs, strange mash ups of horse photos). What is the purpose of these accounts? They don't seem to be doing or promoting anything. They're quite unsettling. and there are so many of them!

* Windows Subsystem for Linux - for what I do with Linux (no GUI, some coding, some admin) it's a 10x improvement over using Gnome/unity as a daily driver GUI, VMs, dual booting, or using a Mac (just IMO).

* Postman - I don't know if it was first, but it made debugging requests 10x easier for me.

Make sure you think about how to address the "Chicken-egg problems" for network-effect.

A good read about it is: https://apenwarr.ca/log/20201227 (if you're short on time, you can skip to "Chicken-egg problems" section)

"The defining characteristic of a chicken-egg technology or product is that it's not useful to you unless other people use it. Since adopting new technology isn't free (in dollars, or time, or both), people aren't likely to adopt it unless they can see some value, but until they do, the value isn't there, so they don't."
It kind of is a negative statement: It illustrates that sometimes (often), our nature sucks.

People have an advantage that horses don't have: people can own property, and they have legal rights, like the ability to vote in elections. When we're talking about AI, though, it's not too hard to imagine computer programs eventually being allowed to legally own things and accrue wealth. It's harder to imagine them being allowed to vote (how would that even work?) but something like it could happen. We can also imagine this going the other way: economically "useless" people losing the right to own property or the right to vote. Or if the rights continue to exist in theory, in practice they become poor and disenfranchised. And then "the strong do what they will and the weak suffer what they must." It happens all the time.

I think in the long run we need to figure out a reasonable economic system that can deal with abundance of the things people want/need, and scarcity of work. Maybe it's as simple as making a 30, or a 20 hour work week the norm. The default alternative seems to be to have more and more people fighting for fewer and fewer jobs, to the point where everyone who has a job has to work extremely hard under long hours and bad conditions for low pay because if they don't there's ten more people ready to take their place at the drop of a hat.

It all depends on what they got for the money. I have no idea what it's valuation is based on these numbers, but if $95M bought 15% and $23M bought about 3.5% then the valuation is about the same.

I'd expect the valuation to be lower also, but that's based on their revenue prospects, not their the $ amount of investments.

"Moreover, we were able to significantly increase
the maximum output current (≈ 205 nA) by connecting 30 wood sponges in parallel to each

so to get 1A, you will need 150000 (though I doubt it would scale like that) all being stepped on actively. So as a power source? seems unlikely. As a sensor, sure.
It's abnormal behaviour. There's no reason to hang your country's flag in front of your house. I mean... maybe if you live near the Canadian or Mexican border and are feeling particularly patriotic or insecure.

> I’ve seen people from all over the world wear or display their own country’s flags.

You may have imagined it. If not, could you say where? It is a uniquely American thing. I mean, Indians will pull out a flag quite often, but they're perpetually at war with their neighbours so it's kinda understandable. In the US you'll see flags on houses in the middle of buttfuck nowhere, owned by people who've never met another foreigner. It really is bizarre behaviour.

You want to read up on music publishing as well as royalties[1][2]. It's important to understand both and it's hard to discuss one without the other. But basically if you understand the these two subject you will understand to a very large degree how the music business works. In the record label model of the music business a label advances you money to pay for your recording and advances you money to pay for your music's promotion(videos, tour support etc.) Before an artists sees a single cent of money from album sales they need to pay the label back all of the money the label advanced them. These advances are paid back via mechanical royalties. It is not until a label recoups every cent from the artist that the artist begins collecting royalties. This is how a lot of artists can sell a bunch of records and yet end up in debt to the record label. S

This is predicated on taxing capital and giving to labor, once labor is no longer necessary for capital.

This isn't going to happen, absent an _enormous_ crisis to precipitate this kind of change. No way are the establishment going to allow this kind of thing to happen ahead of time. The kind of political engineering required to do any of this is far beyond anything that the US government is currently capable of.

Bad move to phase out teaching cursive script.

Cursive script exists because it is fast, pretty much standardised, very usable, and doesn't rely on having digital devices.

"If there are no rules, people will make up their own rules."

If we only teach printing uppercase letters, we will get cursive writing anyway as people try to print those capitals faster and faster.(Just as happened in ancient times.)

Only problem with that is that nobody's cursive will be like anybody else's. "Tower of Babel 2.0"
My experience with it and multiple screens is not great.

Ask HN: Censored Reviews Online
Hello-

I am not in tech, but once had a dream of doing a startup 12 years ago in college and have always followed this community.

I own a regional company that engages in transactional sales in a business-to-business manner. We had a sales rep quit to start a competing business and would use a fake (burner) gmail account to post incredible bad/false reviews of my business on google reviews. I was unable to get google to remove the post even though it was obvious the account was brand new and had no post history. I even couldn't remove my company listing from google reviews since it was property of google. I have essentially had to "take it on the chin" and explain to customers that we don't scam them and the account is fake.

Now I have a new issue. ADP, a paycheck software company, has royally screwed over our company with egregious, non transparent billing methods. A website that is filled with bugs. And lastly a huge error on their end in how they handled PPP.

I go to google reviews to write a bad review about their business practices, but there is no listing.

My question is how much are big companies hiding from reviews? Are they paying google to remain off somehow? I have looked at other companies that generally have horrible customer service and practically every single one has found a way to get off google listing.

Any insight into either of my issues (getting rid of fake bad review for my company; how ADP avoids google review listings) would be appreciated.

PS- anyone that is looking to do a startup, I would highly recommend pay roll services. ADP is almost "too big to fail" and this industry is a complete scam. PM me if you are interested, but need funding and maybe we can work something out.

> Why is it bad to declare your commitment to the country you’re born in and it’s values?

It's just indoctrination. I mean, commitment to your country is implied. Do you stand up, put hand on heart and pledge allegiance to your family? Your church? Your friends? Why would you do that for your country? It's nationalistic nonsense that has no place in a modern, democratic society.
That still doesn't make any sense.

>Everyone thought that as new countries got richer, they would follow in the steps of western values (democracy, free markets, etc.).

Maybe the markets enthusiasts were sold that idea, but even if I was too young to be into politics, I do remember that some circles (leftist) were pretty skeptical of the globalization push, which was seen as imperialism and a way for the elites to enrich themselves. After all these years, not only the pro-market camp's promises didn't came true, but maybe the chinese were also keen to participate trying not to come too affected by the imperialism.
