Google didn't fail, they gave up.

They have the money to do it, they didn't want to spend it. They thought everyone would start writing letters to their congressmen on their behalf and force the government into making the other big fiber ISPs play fair.

That's how fucking dumb so the so-called "smartest people in the room" can be.

Google should have budgeted $10 billion a year for 10 years for Google Fiber. And in 20 years' time, Google could have been the largest provider of fiber Internet service in the United States, possibly servicing almost every single address in the country. Instead, they did what they *ALWAYS* fucking do... it didn't "catch on" in a year or two's time and they abandoned it.

I can't wait to see Google utterly fail as a company, given how shit they are at execution of everything but the most obvious, largest, and easiest-to-enter markets.

Elon Musk entered the three hardest markets known to fuckin' mankind... automotive, orbital launch, and ISPs, and he's utterly destroying mother fuckers. If I was an executive involved with Google Fiber, I'd blow my brains out due to utter shame.
For the people talking about space pollution and problems for astronomers. Yes, it is definitely an issue, but this constellation is also a way for many people to have access to education and information that will help them and their community.

If you're curious about both the positives and negatives of Starlink I highly recommend the mini documentary "Is this the END of Astronomy?" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TifUa8ENQes

Most things in life are like this. Wind turbines are a great way to supply green energy, but building them takes a lot of energy. So it is important to also think about things like using low co2 concrete, and making them more efficient. They also kill many birds, but this is nothing compared to the amount of birds that cats kill. And engineers are working on ways to get fewer birds killed.
Effectively zero gun violence is deployed in defense, either of person or property. No "burglers" are being shot, statistically. Guns are deployed in anger, or in escalation of existing violence.
Based on your other comments you're attributing your stock pick to an ability on your part and not blind luck like it is.

Socrates said that he's better off because he knows nothing and knows he knows nothing, whereas others know nothing but think they know something. Paraphrasing, but this seems applicable to your situation.

Private equity funds participate in art auctions all the time, crypto in this case just makes it easier to make something analogous to an ETF.
Bitcoin's price will eventually stabilize once it's gotten nearer to it's true value. But until then, the great thing about the internet is its pretty easy to use one currency as a unit of account, and another for payment. The only remaining issue about volatility is the possibility that a business receives payment in bitcoin right before a long downward price trend. However that can be solved by businesses selling any bitcoin immediately that they're not to take that risk on.

If you're saying it takes 10 minutes to complete a transaction, you should look into the lightning network. Transactions take seconds at a cost of hundredths of a penny. And that's all still bitcoin and trustless.
Russia already has law in works to make possession of StarLink hardware illegal. There was some coverage in January: https://m.slashdot.org/story/380606

I was somewhat near the non-armed UAV industry. I whisper around the industry is that Israel only went forward to shut down the "rogue" loitering munition maker only because Americans found out about it, and it was a face saving measure under a threat of US opening a money laundering investigation on Israel military's higher ups.

Landmines work by the same principle. Many killed by landmines are children.

> 87% of the casualties were civilians and 47% were children (less than 18 years old).

no, there is no valid reason for this. Someone shipped something bad into production and hasn't rolled it back yet.
Google's action did what it was intended to do, expose that the stated reason for the law (using content w/o compensation) was a lie.

> If it's in a bank account, it's not being hoarded. It's being loaned out and the people who get the loans are spending it on houses, businesses, automobiles, etc.

This presupposes banks actually loan it out — which doesn't always happen, for example if lending officers are gun-shy or underwriting policies get too tight because senior management is gun-shy.
If that were true they would've blocked a more common word. "The" for example.
Honestly I think Patreon does just as well to support living artists, without all the bullshit that comes from the "convince some absurdly rich asshole that your worth is worth absurd amounts of money" game, and also without the extra layers of bullshit that comes from involving cryptocurrency in it. I'd rather convince a few hundred people that my stuff's worth a buck or three per month. Feels a lot more sustainable, and less likely to end up with someone deciding to kill you to bump up the value of their investment in your originals.

I mean if you've got a bunch of money burning a hole in your pocket, I'll gladly take it off your hands. My Patreon's over at https://www.patreon.com/egypturnash.

Ask HN: How many HNers use clickup and freeagent?
I use both and find them great, but the integration between the two is lacking. Wonder how many others find this.

Device means computer, what that means is either “return the computer or the OEM license to the manufacturer for a refund”, which is to say that you get all of your money back if the computer is returned, not just the hardware cost.
> But my immediate manager won't allow it because the budget is allocated for the year, and if I bill extra hours, there will be a shortage of budget (or at least that's what he tells me).

I didn't understand this. Are you talking about budget at your employer, or at your client?
I am on Signal fro (some) years and it is great.

Except the way they manage contacts. It is a complete mess - I have contacts that changed their phone and there is NO WAY to remove them from the Signal contacts.

They are not present in any of my phone contacts but somehow cannot leave Signal.

I don't agree with calling flash loans loans. Money isn't borrowed, as you don't posses them even for a second. Instead it's more like "offer me an atomic transaction that will make me money, and I will run it with my liquidity". See: i'm not giving you my liquidity, i merely choose to use your strategy which is atomic, and you cannot change your mind and steal the money halfway (as in borrowing).
It's not really unfortunate, it's the consequence of having e2e encryption: either you (as a business) have to handle everything or you deletage, and that delegation needs to be clear to the user.

Were businesses not ready to run the client themselves ?
Couple of years ago I tried comparing the cost of a solar thermal plant with PV solar. Claimed advantage of solar thermal is the ability to store energy as molten salt. The cost differential though means it'd be cheaper to use PV Solar to heat phase change materials.
I avoid salaried roles when I can because the IP ownership rules are way too onerous. They own your brain, all of it, and if you have any creative habits at all, your employer has an option on the output. Fuck that. It's an indenture. The trade-off of salaried roles is the promise of stability and status, and in this day and age, these are both bold lies.

You'd think this is the luck of being in a high demand field - except that low-demand and even competitive fields like construction, teaching, and pretty much everything outside white collar corporate work does not have this brain ownership clause. It seems like anything with "status," trades your brain, which is hilarious, because you essentially become corporate property in exchange for some flattery.

If you need a job, take one, take the money, and use it to get into a financial position where you have bargaining leverage to own your brain and the freedom to use your own hours.

Personally, I do "formal philosophy" at least to some extent/in some papers, i.e., lots of logic, decision theory, a bit of applied mathematics. This kind of analytic philosophy superficially looks like science, at least to people who don't know much about the STEM fields. However, in my opinion it is clearly not science.

IMHO, it's best to take philosophy as a discipline on its own. If I am pressed to decide between art and science, I'd call it an art, if not to annoy those people who erroneously believe that philosophy is a science. I personally find it hard to accept any discipline that does not follow the scientific method a science. Many other parts of the humanities in my opinion do not really qualify as science either. Or, perhaps they could be called "soft sciences" or "intellectual studies."

However, philosophy is in the same boat as mathematics in this respect, which is also traditionally not considered a science but rather a discipline of its own, pursued for its own sake and with its own evaluation criteria. Few would call mathematics an art, though, or would they? I'm not sure.
The fact that CPI uses OER doesn’t necessarily mean oer is a good measure. During the housing bubble prices may have increased at a 17% rate while OER increased at a 4.5% rate.

I’d argue asking the question “what rate would you rent your home at” is fundamentally flawed and prone to underestimation. The answer is and always will be “the market rate for a rental in my neighborhood”. This number is generally greater than the interest+maintenance a fresh buyer would pay.

For me that piece is hard to see.

There have been discussions about it and its value, here on HN. Mostly people that were mad that they exchanging a fixed amount of time in a small range of price per hour for money instead of creating an unlimited number of assets and exchanging them at an unlimited range of prices.

The context of this conversation is full-time salaried employees who give more than they financially get, so personal satisfaction, influencing others' behavior, or prestige at the company are some potential answers to your question.

I agree with your point in general, but I'd also argue that there are companies that weaponize copyright and patent law in order to intimidate individuals and companies without the means to go to trial, even if they don't have a real legal standing to do so. GitHub seems like a great place for patent trolls to find their marks.
> precisely because they are horrific weapons that kill and maim indiscriminately

The problem with mines is less that they are indiscriminate and more that they outlast their battles.

Wrt. the people trying to question what value NFT has - well what value a piece of a paper with a black square has? I'd guess close to $0 or less - a ruined piece of paper. Until of course it is said to be done by Kandinsky. The value of the most of the art is in that information, not in the material artifact. NFT is just a distillation of that idea.

Reminds a recent Russian meme - a photo of Kandinsky with a bubble "Everybody can paint the same. Not everybody can sell the same way."

> Well, for one it should (at least try to) protect all civilians not just "its own".

They do. They are known to go to extreme lengths to avoid harming civilians, including calling up before bombing, dropping leaflets, "firecracker" bombing ahead of actual bombing etc.

And why are they bombing civilian neighborhoods in the first place: because that's were Hamas puts their rocket lauchers. That is a war crime too, and it is worse, because the only reason they do it is to attract attacks towards civilian areas; tactically those rocket attacks are just dumb - they only serve to get media coverage when Israel find they have had enough of it and flatten it.
Israel can end it tomorrow by leaving the middle east entirely, or by taking over the areas, kill the leadership of the various terror groups and grant full citizenship to everybody else. The top leadership is super corrupt and are doing nothing to help the people.

Instead they keep doing this stupid inbetween thing that helps nobody but the weapon manufactures, and those who like to hurt humans.

Granted neither of those options could be done in a day, but peace in two years seems about as good a solution as any, no?

For me, functions dual use, though grammatically both are similar enough that it operates significantly via context.
Both sides are true.

Police need to enforce the laws in economically depressed neighborhoods where crime, gangs, and drugs are much more common. However, police are also abusive in that environment, and the criminal justice system perpetuates economic and social hardship in those neighborhoods by disrupting good home/family environments.

Both forces — neighborhood criminality and an overly harsh criminal justice system — work against true social justice. One of the worst consequences is poor psychosocial development in children growing up in that environment (constant stress and fear, broken families, etc). For a somewhat anecdotal view of this sociological phenomenon, see Alice Goffman's book _On the Run_ (she's the daughter of Erving Goffman).

You should probably oppose or support restrictions in accordance with whether or not they make sense, irrespective of the debatable motives of their inception.

In regards to the motives of their inception, it seems like a bit of leap to go from "armed black militias patrolling streets" and "an organized band of men armed with loaded firearms [...] entered the Capitol on May 2, 1967" to then saying that the resulting anti-gun legislation was necessarily inherently racist. Every time a white kid shoots up a school and it leads to further gun restrictions, do you assume that this is because of legislator's anti-whiteness? Almost every school shooter/mass shooter is white, and there have been all sorts of gun restrictions imposed as a consequence of these events. In fact, wasn't there JUST a band of mostly white men who entered the Capitol, which has also led to suggestions for increased legislation against firearms? Is the resulting legislation that comes from that going to be anti-white?
I'm sorry to say I'm completely bored with the perennial rehashing of attempts to reconcile science with spirituality. They're two different realms, people! Do we try to explain apples in terms of oranges? Do we try to explain dishwashers in terms of childbirth? Do we say Marvel Comics is a not very good imitation of Shakespeare? (Well, maybe some of us do.)

Humans are perfectly capable of thinking about more than one kind of thing at a time. Not everything needs to be put in a blender and mushed together.
Ahhhh! Thanks for the update - I stand corrected.

It is currently safe to assume Ethereum with the file stored on IPFS.

Christie's interface didn't just lead with the transaction hashes, but your conclusion is pretty far off, for now.

Try emailing them next time.

I'm understanding of the frustration, it took me a year of asking similar questions about Venezuala's Petro coin, which was even subject to pre-emptive US sanctions, before it became official that the Petro didn't exist and was never issued. Nobody could tell me the contract address and people acted like I grew two-heads for even asking, when it should have taken two seconds.

The technology allows for really basic things to be transparent, and when you don't lead with that stuff and nobody asks about that stuff, it does become pretty obvious that they aren't even using the technology.
But the point is that the linux laptop in GP's example was _cheaper_ (and my personal experience suggests this is a trend).

> Landmines work by the same principle

Not really. Mine fields are not certain death. They don’t always have the opportunity to announce themselves. Guns on automated fire control have the option of announcing themselves prior to engaging. They can also be turned off, something not easy to do with mines.

It’s painful but necessary to note that Hamas have a track record of weaponising children [1]. A child approaching the border is thus not guaranteed safe, and could reasonably be fired upon by a human or a gun on automated fire control. (Not arguing for killing kids. Just that “kids could get killed” isn’t an effective argument against this weapons platform.)

War is terrible. I don’t think automatic guns make it significantly more terrible. (Landmines do.)

That's common in large companies. Business units/channels/divisions do all kinds of stuff that is inconsistent with each other and even the stated company goals.

As an example, Aetna provides insurance to clients through Covered California and through other venues like the federal government. For the federal version, it's really easy to get stuff classified as out of network with a note from the provider that they don't accept Medicare assignment. For the Covered California version, it's virtually impossible to get out of network stuff covered because they will more or less trashcan notes from providers that don't accept Medicare assignment to avoid paying for those claims. My guess is the economics of each business unit/channel are different to the point where they make things easy for one plan and nearly impossible for another.
