Not necessarily. Since the government can print the money they lend, they can dictate the risk premium. They can keep it as low as they want.

Italy and some other European countries are basically broke. But they pay less interest than the USA.
> The guy currently in charge is corrupt and a murderer. Is living in Belarus going to get worse without him?

If one goes by the example of what happened in Afghanistan, Iraq or Libya, the answer is very well: yes, this could happen.

Putsching away or otherwise deposing a regime is only one step. Without a solid aftercare plan (like the Marshall Plan after WW2) to empower democratic actors, the power vacuum can have really really bad outcomes.
I'm reading about people wanting to get rid of Putin since at least 2010, the sad reality 10 years later is that he is still there...
I have it listen on a loopback interface and do SSH port forwarding when I want to look at the stats. Nginx proxying with basic auth is a perfectly reasonable approach and not a workaround in my humble opinion. I would trust these two approaches more than an unknown mechanism in Netdata.
SPM is missing a lot of things that a package manager typically lets you do–it's very focused on a handful of specific cases and falls down if you try to diverge from that.
I have no real dog in the fight, but the exact same arguments were made about Iraq and Libya. They weren't great places to live before removing the dictators, but they were much, much worse afterwards.

Not saying that's the same in Belarus, but that argument by itself doesn't hold water.

I'm no expert in these things, but here's my understanding.

AFAIK, it's up to copyright assignment for re-licensing.

For example, contributing to Prometheus assigns all copyright to "The Prometheus Authors". The DCO just attests that it's OK to do this.

So, I don't think there's anything for or against re-licensing in DCO, it's just out of scope.

Bush started wars in two countries, Obama started wars in another five. The fact they didn't rescind the prize is disgusting, and shows you what a joke the committee is, as well as the award itself.

What's most disgusting is that it was a political ploy based on the fact that President Obama was America's first black president. There's no other logical conclusion that any thinking person could arrive at, because at the time he received it, he had done, quite literally, almost nothing of substance.
I assume the answer to the "why" can be as simple as: being primarily a Silicon Valley software industry forum, HN knows what side its bread is buttered on (namely the side of cobbling together freely available software to make proprietary products).
> So if they go on more vacations, buy a flashy car, have more parties, you are saying that the Fed "takes that money straight back" and that it doesn't go to travel agencies, car dealers, caterers, party planners, service workers etc?

They do get the money. But the world hasn't become any more productive; the number of goods and services being produced is still the same. So when they spend that money and consume goods and services, someone else must necessarily be consuming less.
>It's not stealing because the creators will get paid anyway.

This isn't always true. As several sibling comments already mentioned, this "native advertising" of embedded sponsor spot via the Youtube personality as spokesperson -- is often "paid based on performance" which means the affiliate url links mentioned in the ad are measured for clicks resulting in new customers.

I'm not commenting on morals of using a plugin but just correcting a misconception about arrangements of payment for content creators.

> Anyway -- you can help!

The best way to help them now is to send arms, but that if of course if you can get them through the border.

Belarus knows that they can't trust army drafted from regular men, and that's why the army was sent off to seal the borders, while the special police monsters are let to keep doing their atrocities inside cities.

The West is also unwittingly facilitates this by keeping shutting down attempts to get arms to Belarus from Balkans.

It's now in the news, but Poland, a NATO member, has already shut a third attempt to get arms to the country, despite Warsaw itself being the one initiating this with Belarus opposition.
Yes and no. "Take the red pill" comes from the Matrix, but the adjective "redpilled" is associated with a particular political and ideological fringe which started on Reddit's /r/TheRedPill, from which descended the various incel subreddits, MGTOW, etc. - to be fair, it wasn't that negative initially, just a bit questionable, but as it happens these days the place became more and more politicised, radical, hating women, and associated with the American far right and emotionally stunted angry teenagers.

there should be no “but” in this sentence - the libertarian approach would be to allow anyone to pollute as much as they want as long as they clean up the pollution afterwards (or pay for cleanup :) )
Yeah, lol - I guess I mean that they were "considerably more true than I expected them to be, based on my previous prejudices about .NET"

Before I was forced to try it, if you had asked me whether having a "normal" development experience using .NET was possible I would have said "no way". After being forced to do it I was pleasantly surprised to see that it didn't feel particularly different to most other compiled languages that I've used. YMMV.
Join me in creating a legal info marketplace and disrupting legal publishing
I'm a lawyer working in the online legal research space. I'm looking for cofounder/s/investors to help me create a global market-place for legal information.

Legal info is consumed by:
A) People who info to help them with their own legal problem.
B) Lawyers who require legal info to enable them to do their job.

Legal info is created by:
C) Lawyers who want to showcase their expertise so as to attract new clients.
D) Lawyers looking to sell content as an alternative revenue stream to hourly billing.

User A might use Google, sift through many irrelevant search results, would eventually be directed to many different sites of varying credibility.

User B typically spends thousands of dollars a year for paid research platforms. I work at one of the leading companies in this space and I see how bloated, overpriced and inefficient the products. There are huge improvements to be made in how legal info is captured from those who have the expertise, and distributed to those willing to pay for it.

User C typically publishes legal info on their own websites and on various publications. But if there was a platform that led the way in storing and indexing legal info, attracting readers, while promoting publishers so as to help them generate leads, this would be the obvious place for user C to publish.

Users D is a market to be created. The production of legal content is currently monopolized by the big legal publishers (like my employer), but there is an opportunity to do for lawyers, what SubStack does for bloggers.

My idea is a global legal platform catering for the 4 use cases above. If you assemble the users you draw in the content creators, and vice versa.

Is there a video streaming service that has at least a limited form of moderation besides YouTube?

Ignoring politics, YouTube needs competition because its algorithms suck and remove uncontroversial videos, and Google support sucks so they don't get re-instated.

But an alternative platform needs moderation, at least for the practical reason that otherwise it gets over-loaded by trolls. Even if you believe in radical unconditional free speech, it's in your benefit to at least hide the provocative videos from your front page. If you really want to encourage free expression, you ultimately need to be friendly or you'll scare people away.

You've presented a conscientious criterion for what can be classified as an operating system. I think it's clever, I'm not sure I agree though. It's very broad: By this same definition any processor is an operating system, since it will execute arbitrary binary data. Your example of the JVM being an operating system calls to mind the above: It is a virtual machine, it is designed to execute arbitrary bytecode in a similar manner to a processor.
Everything you say is reasonable and I can agree with all of it except the claim that I’m misrepresenting Chomsky - in it’s original form it specifically defined a “language acquisition device” - a part of the brain which evolved specifically and exclusively for language. The only basis for the claim, given the lack of physiological evidence at the time (subsequently evidence emerged against it) was that children were not subjected to enough samples/examples which would explain how they learn language.
Sure. But it still takes some time until the interactive part works. And it doesn't solve connectivity issues a SPA can easily handle.

We should sort this out first. It does not make sense to discuss higher level concepts if we disagree on lower level concepts.
You went from “I cannot think of any reason for inheritance tax” to ... proposing an inheritance tax (at a very high threshold) in the space of a paragraph.

Untaxed inheritance perpetuates inequality. Inequalities are unfair and arguably damage our societies. Functioning societies aim to repair the damage by rebalancing structural inequalities. Hence inheritance tax. The children of the very wealthy aren’t being “abandoned”, they already have surpassing advantages while their parents are alive.
List of countries where "the West" organized a coup against a "corrupt murderer dictator" to establish "democratic elected government":

- Ukraine
- Syria
- Libya
- Georgia
- Iraq
- Iran
- Afghanistan
- Yugoslavia
- Venezuela
- Cuba
- ex-Yugoslavia
- Chile
- ...

All those countries were devastated by the "democratization". I would like to see one example where that went good for the local population in general and where that brought progress and prosperity.

HN Guidelines are links should not be submitted if there is not a freely available version, or at least the wording is "It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds", which implies that.

It would be nice if OPs took more effort to post the non-paywalled alternative (in addition to the original) to avoid these discussions and complaints. Yes, I am aware complaining about paywalls is OT.

Can you elaborate on what you mean about Boer type war? For someone who’s not familiar with the history.
I don't believe it's incorrect. For the third-degree murder charge, the defendant must commit the act "evincing a depraved mind".

If the defendant thinks that they're following official protocol correctly and their training told them that that protocol was safe, then they're not "evincing a depraved mind", and are therefore not guilty of third-degree murder. The belief states of the defendant are relevant in this particular charge.

"(a) Whoever, without intent to effect the death of any person, causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life, is guilty of murder in the third degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years."

Supposedly, though, the jury in this case thought that Chauvin was indeed "evincing a depraved mind" (given the guilty verdict).

Well, a source of havoc, maybe. But one among many, there is still Malaria, Tuberculosis, Dengue Fever, Ebola, HIV. All with far more significant consequences. That we are worrying as much about Corona as we do in the West is a consequence of those ailments being (mostly) irrelevant here.
Thanks for your answer. Yes, the answer is simple when you only consider the HN scope however, this is a trend I observe for much longer, well before I found here.

Maybe my observation on other places was a reflection of SV mentality, who knows.
you really think having a civil war right around the corner, practically on the other side of the fence, is something any country wants to have? not to mention having an armed rebellion means putin's intervention is guaranteed and then belarus just becomes another federal district.

Only two teams can get in that way, and it's skewed towards successful clubs, not "big" ones. E.g. in 2020/2021 coefficients, Sevilla are at 10th, ahead of Arsenal (11), Chelsea ( 12), Tottenham ( 14), Inter Milan (26) or AC Milan ( 53), all of which would have had guaranteed places in the Super League. Ajax are 17th, for reference.

So, all in all, not that bad to have 2 extra clubs that were successful recently. It could be Arsenal, it could be Sevilla or Ajax or Atalanta.

> They do get the money. But the world hasn't become any more productive; the number of goods and services being produced is still the same. So when they spend that money and consume goods and services, someone else must necessarily be consuming less.

More flights (its' virtue another discussion), more cars produced, more parties planned, food made, services rendered.

Of course production has gone up, and will continue when those people spend their money on their (smaller) houses etc.

And are you making your claim as a counterpoint to my scenario compared to inheritance? Because pushing money down the line to sit on it certainly does not make the world more productive.

> 2TB/5G iPad Pro 12.9 + keyboard + pen = 3000 Swiss Francs (over $3k)

2TB Storage, 5G, keyboard and pen are all very much optional and not required to use an iPad Pro. If you want a laptop, simply buy a laptop.

Personally I'm much better off with a desktop + iPad Pro combo. When I need keyboard and mouse on the iPad my existing desktop input device can be paired with multiple devices. However that's rare occasion. Most of the time it's simply a much more mobile device than a laptop.

The key to any good currency (and product) is how to get adoption. I don't think the paper addresses this point, it just assumes merchants will accept greshm like it accepts dollars. I don't think that will be true. If they are dollars, then they have to follow all the financial rules (against ponzi schemes and other types of fraud).

Also, I have my doubts on any currency system that is not connected to real wealth or real value in anyway. I think history has shown that these currencies end in hyperinflation.
What a ridiculous take. The film industry has been tremendously successful at earning money for over a century. It built California well before there was ever a Silicon Valley. Even when disrupted temporarily by the Netflix and Amazons of the world, they're pretty quickly making a comeback and the only way for Netflix and Amazon to continue competing is to make their own content. The most straightforward way to monetize it is to sell it. Plenty of people seem perfectly willing to pay money to Netflix and Disney.

The problem of monetization is now every single person with access to a keyboard or camera can post something identical to the content produced by a few hundred thousand other content creators and think they deserve to get paid for it. Nobody seems to be running the Washington Post or the Economist out of business. HBO isn't going anywhere. Whenever James Cameron gets around to finally releasing something again, he'll make another billion. It doesn't mean anyone who can put a camera in their bedroom and post their personal thoughts about life on YouTube deserves to make a living doing that.

The answer to how to monetize content is the same as it has always been for any business. Make a sufficiently valuable and differentiated product that consumers are willing to pay for it.
I don't think anyone who wants to get rid of Putin expected a change on the same day and gives up if that doesn't work. It will take time and a lot of work. (Unless they want an assassination)
Yes, you can lose the meaning of all other rounds but the last. And if player strategies can maximize comebacks, then all the smart people will only focus on the comebacks and only the less experienced or relaxed players will play the actual game (and be constantly frustrated by seeming to win early on and then losing to comebacks without feeling any power to change that).

In chess, which doesn't have a clear comeback mechanic, this sometimes works out, since the impact of late game mistakes can vastly outperform early wins. So, comebacks are clearly and directly linked to the skill of the winning player making a mistake and the skill of the losing player being able to capitalize this mistake.

But even that direction doesn't come for free. As in such games skill is so important, inexperienced players fighting each other will have a lot of huge randomness in their outcomes and altogether the game only becomes fun once you reach a certain minimum skill level.

Last but not least, there are also alternatives to comebacks. For instance, in poker or pen&paper roleplaying games a factor of pure randomness is added. So, while on average the skilled players will have almost all the positive experiences that chess players have (they win more often, they have more clarity and control about the progress and current status mid-game), the unskilled players can sometimes make a lucky win which seems satisfying enough that some people get addicted to poker without ever gaining much skill.

As Monopoly also has a random element, I wonder if simply tuning the impact of randomness would make it more fun, allow for more lucky comebacks, etc. As a stupid example, maybe event cards could introduce property tax rates that stay until another event card alters them, or a renter being unhappy about the rental property won't pay the rent or even create costs through law-suits, required building repairs, or clean-ups.

Kyle Bass is a cold war warrior that assumes that China is like the US and is caught in terrible one dimensional thinking.

What if it is actually true that China doesn't want to be a reserve currency and own seniorage from the rest of the world? (As Chinese leaders repeatably have said.)

What if they instead want better credit mechanisms, risk controls and logistics? So credit creation can be backed by future oil produced by Iran, future jet planes produced by Russia, future phones produced by China. And trade can be settled with very little actual central bank currency moving around.
The comparison I was making was with a road with the same number of live lanes with and without a hard shoulder. You may regard this as an unfair comparison because the cost to fully add a new lane is so much higher.
