I am going to ask that people not do this in reply to my comment:

Although I'm not sure if HN is fertile ground for establishing an income. It would be less than 1% of users, I imagine.

The top answer to the question 43 days ago of Ask HN: What tangible benefits did you get from spending time on HN? is:

I did a Show HN for the idea of a SaaS for GitLab and I’m now the CEO of a $6b company.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26366538

There are people here who are not interested in using HN to make money. But there are many men who do, in fact, make tons of money because of their relationship to HN. This is extremely well documented to the point that it just makes me nuts that people try to tell me that doesn't go on.

They do monthly hiring threads. They advertise jobs here for YC companies. They do a Freelancer? Seeking Freelancer? thread every month. I've seen comments by individuals that talked about having no problem making money via HN from people who had been here about the same amount of time as me and had lots less karma.

Men can come here, connect to other businessmen and make money if that's what they are looking for. I appear to be the only openly female member to have ever spent time on the leaderboard and I remain dirt poor with terrible prospects for the time being and this has been true for a lot of years.

Please do not do this. Address the issue of sex work. Don't add comments politely dismissing the idea that men make money via HN or something. Men make money via HN. It's common knowledge that men make money via HN, sometimes scads and scads of it. Meanwhile, the highest ranked woman here still has to put up with this kind of crap where people act like I'm imagining things and this isn't a real problem.

It makes me feel like the entire forum is intentionally gaslighting me because, wow, can 5 million people actually all be that completely oblivious to how much men use HN to line their pockets? I have enormous trouble believing that.

Edit: I will add that even if it is "only 1 percent", with 5 million monthly visitors, that would be 50,000 people.

2nd edit: There was also this question two days ago that got overwhelming support for a young man who is having trouble getting hired and it stuck in my craw because there has not been overwhelming support by HN of people trying to help me solve my problem:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26825017

Instead, I continue to get amazingly shitty replies implicitly suggesting "It's not a real problem. She's exaggerating and the problem is her imagining that participating on HN has any real power to positively impact your income. Ha ha ha."
I'm surprised Debian didn't invent a way to do secure secret voting by email already (and by some of the technical comments on the results page I kind of though it was secret)
When is conversion rate modeling worth it?
You don't see the inherent flaw still, do you?

Financial security isn't worth anything in face of extinction. Bitcoin inherently works against human prosperity. No matter the riches we achieve, PoW will take a massive cut.

Please, play it through in your head: What would happen to the PoW system, if we achieve almost infinite energy proliferation? E.g. some scifi space solar energy harvesting. Don't you see how Bitcoin works against our future?
Huh, I've been working on something similar. One of my suggestions would be to play it as a God simulator. Let players make changes to the simulation, play with the variables and see how it affects things. Add goal states based on economic metrics that provokes players to experiment. Sort of like a puzzle-like experience.
Self-publishers only get a 100% royalty if they self-retail as well (very few do this, I think). Otherwise, they only get the ~50% that the publisher would get paid from the sale price.
Bought your book. It was a huge help to me understanding the CL condition system. Thank you very much for taking the risk to write a much-needed treatment on a niche topic of a niche language.
Ice water, or something even colder. Water itself isn't what puts out a Li-ion fire, it's ending thermal runaway.

> The loan shark driving to bust someone's kneecaps for not paying back loans on time would still be doing exactly the same thing.

Tangential thought...

I might be mistaken, but how can one even collect on defaulted debt denominated in BTC? I thought that the BTC owner still has to transfer BTC themselves, since only they would know the private keys.

Wouldn't the collector literally have to physically threaten the individual to transfer the BTC back, since it's not like they can get a court to order the bank to do it.

I know that ETH supports smart contracts that could in theory automate the terms of the loan, but then what happens if the debtor goes bankrupt?
But that's always been a straw man. There are tons of non profits that just assume this to get on with their moralist agenda. All the organizations actually involved with current or former sex workers strongly rebut this non-truth.

The history of vice criminalization is also informative.

- Prohibition was anti-irish, and anti-immigrant in general. KKK resurgence in the 1920s involved in part them being anti-alcohol vigilantes too.

- Original criminalization of cannabis after in the 1930s to not abolish the prohibition bureaucracy saw Mexicans as expendable scapegoats. This is why there is little use of "marijuana" in English before this time.

- Current drug war initiated in conjunction with the "southern strategy".

Now I think a lot of the bad morality is genuinely held, just as there were probably non-nativist teetotalers a century ago. But the clear negative structural consequence of anti-sex-work is to continue to try to keep the public sphere and less shitty parts of the formal economy male-dominated.
One reason to do a company with variable comp is if you have a handshake agreement with the hiring manager that they will guarantee to the extent of their ability a high multiplier.

This approach is used a lot in companies where the average tech talent isn’t highly valued and so genuine talent is otherwise unattainable. It’s 100% misusing the system to overcome flaws elsewhere.
I don't understand your point. Yes, it's using WebGL. Do you think that it's going to do WebGL -> OpenGL ES 2/3 calls -> ANGLE -> Direct3D -> PS4 graphics driver (like it does on e.g. chrome on windows) ? No, it's likely doing WebGL -> PS4 proprietary graphics API -> PS4 graphics driver, not going through ANGLE or whatnot
Patches would still have a base, it's really more about about the data model. It's possible to synthesize a GitHub PR from a Gerrit CL and vice-versa.

In fact, Gerrit is entirely based on Git and you can simply clone any given CL.
> ... and that websites don't honor DNT...

This is the important part regarding "security". Websites choose to not honor "DNT" headers.

Clients can just as easy choose not to honor no-floc headers.

Which is why I'm saying that this is not a security-thing. If people can just choose to ignore your security-headers, they are not a security-feature. At most they are a suggestion that, when followed, make the client honor privacy concerns from servers.

> "maximize shareholders value, which basically means profits on the long run, which still means paying as little tax as you can legally"

Nope. Directors are required to act in the interests of the company, and that can include maximising the company's reputation for ethics (which is also financially justifiable, in order to attract the best staff and customers long-term).
That’s not quite correct.

I think of non-exercise activity thermogenesis as being like the idle rate of an internal combustion engine car. If you increase the idle engine rate, it doesn’t affect the fuel consumption at higher activity speeds, but at times when the car is slow or stationary, it would burn more fuel than necessary. In a car, that’s a bad thing.
The claim is that doing exercise increases your “idling speed” (NEAT) , or rather stops your body’s idling speed from dropping the way it would normally do during calorie restriction. If you are trying to lose weight, burning “more calories than necessary” would be a good thing
True, but modifying core files to send the header isn't good either because you'll have to redo the change at every update. Also, most security plugins such as Wordfence will choke on a modified core file, and rightly so.
Okay, I still think it’s too soon to declare victory until Chrome actually does it. It could be delayed.
OK - thanks, I'll keep that in mind for my future writing and for the second edition of TCLCS (if it happens). The first edition was written pretty fast (a total of six months?) and it did not have enough time to have enough of the "few weeks breaks" that you mentioned, so I can understand that it suffers from lack of text maturity.

I'm curious about "a book implies something much more" though. I have seen multiple series of blog posts that then grew to the point where they were actually published as books. What's the difference between the two when one wants to tell them apart via their content? What's this implication that you mention?
Lobbying is at it's core just talking to politicians, whenever you write or call your Rep or Senator you're lobbying. So it's hard to draw a line between and legislate the difference citizen groups getting together and spending to have someone professionally try to influence policy (generally good) and companies doing the same thing. Citizens United decided that companies (since we treat them as people for legal convenience) get the same 1st amendment protections individuals do. Personally I think that's a mistake but I'm not sure how to solve it without causing more issues.
As as outsider, the US view on sex is the most schizophrenic in the world. Can't permit Janet Jackson to show her nipple on TV, creates Games of Thrones and the modern porn industry (I was going to say runs the biggest ring of porn sites ever, but Mindgeek is actually Canadian).

The US doesn't have an opinion on sex, it just has different fractions with enormously different pov that can't agree to let sleeping dogs lie.

It also has the last serious Christians with political influence for any advanced nation, and they are still fighting the war on porn.
It implies that all people act and react according to circumstances (long-term and short-term). And this is something the law already acknowledges - note all the different types of homicide that exists in law.

Rape is rape. But sometimes the rapist can also be a victim of something else. They can both by guilty of rape (and therefore accountable), but also a victim in need of help at the same time. In the law, we have ways to distinguish that - there is a reason why judges (a human) is typically given authority to choose actual punishment - to in take into account circumstances.

Where "weird implications" start appearing is when this interacts our current popular trend of blanket applying "evil" status to people who commit certain actions. My gut feel is that this is a (understandable) response/backlash to abuse of the structure of moral relativism thinking and other post-modernist thinking by various groups. Or perhaps it's backlash against to the perceived failures of moral relativism to deliver any benefits "to the common person".
Birdwatching for Marketers: What Google’s FLoC and Fledge Mean for You
For maximum security & privacy, go with GrapheneOS (used to be CopperheadOS back in the day). Caveat is that you won't have Google Play (or even MicroG), which means some Google apps (and paid apps) won't work and if you want apps from Google Play then you need to install Aurora app.

If you want the above, but also want access to Google Play apps, then install CalyxOS.

The third option is LineageOS (was originally CyanogenMod back in the day). This custom ROM is the most accessible for a variety of devices. It's good for privacy, but, because the bootloader is left unlocked (which may or may not be relevant depending on your threat model), it is the least secure of the three.

Both GrapheneOS and CalyxOS have very user-friendly installation methods, but exist primarily for the Pixel line of devices. LineageOS has the most involved installation process, but it's available for the widest variety of Android devices.

I've installed all three ROMs on several different devices. For the average person, CalyxOS will probably be the best bet (though I think the Trebuchet launcher in LineageOS is better).

That wasn't quite the same thing though. The impetus for the so-called flip was the Civil Rights Act.

It was becoming increasingly obvious that the Republicans were going to pass the Civil Rights Act and the racists were on the wrong side of history. But the racists made a final push to put it off and managed to put the Democrats in the majority.

Then the Northern Democrats voted with the Republicans to pass the Civil Rights Act anyway. The racists were livid. Their party betrayed them.

Nixon (yes, that Nixon) realized that it made the South his for the taking, so he took it. It was a realignment.

The Democrats like to portray this as the racists switching parties, but it was really the process of the racists losing and dying out. In 1880 the Democrats were the party of slavery and Jim Crow. In 1980 there was no party of slavery and Jim Crow. They lost.

That was the point when racism dissolved into classism. It's why Democrats insist on calling classism "structural racism" -- they've convinced people the "racists" are cardboard Republicans from the South, even though they're the ones tying schools to housing and restricting multi-family zoning in blue cities.

Not to say that the Republicans are saints. War on Drugs has been a predominantly Republican dung fire, for example.
Only govt action will work. That too concerted action by several national govts.
It’s Time to Bust the Tech Talent Pipeline
Corporations seek profits. They do so in different ways, with different biases and cultures. Some are a net positive on the world. Some are a net negative.

This is a false abstraction: "they are capitalistic with morals and ethics that try to align best with whatever cohort will attract the most profit by doing so."

One step more accurate is would be "THEY THINK will attract the most profit." This reflects personalities.

One more step more accurate is that a corporation is a network of people, most of whom don't care about corporate profits. If I were an engineer at Microsoft, I don't see why I'd care how much I helped or hurt Microsoft's bottom line. I'd care about:

1) Having fun

2) Getting paid myself

3) Getting promoted / setting myself up for future job opportunities

Those sorts of motivations apply to everyone, right up through the CEO. I work at a not-for-profit where people DO care (myself included), and I've worked at start-ups, where there was a mix. Big corporations are an abstraction.

Microsoft, for about two decades, led to a lot of harm to the world and very little good. If Microsoft didn't make Windows 95, we'd have OS/2, NeXT, QNX, Amiga, or something else. It didn't do much innovating. It was just sort of a big parasite, sucking money out of the economy, and lobbying for corrupt laws.

Today, it's just like any other megacorp.

You must be living under a rock then, because bitcoin just had a sizable correction last night. Sounds too volitile to protect any savings.

Nope. The ledger is public and your transactions can be seen on it basically forever and, with some sleuthing of the ledger by interested parties, you could be deanonymized.
You can work on it. Trust people with small things (or at least bite your tongue while they do it their way). Observe that nothing goes wrong. Trust more.

Public-ownership rental as a third option to renting or owning a house
This is "the rest of the story" on a recent HN submission which was not as it turns out the "rent vs. buy" polemic much of the discussion seemed to expect (not without some basis given the headline and structure of the article), but actually a fairly radical, and intersting, housing policy proposal. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26824383

The article's author has in fact written a book on the subject, a chapter of which is exerpted here. (I've chosen the chapter title rather than article title for the submission.) The previous article had somehow managed to completely omit mention. The book itself is The Affordable City, by Shane Phillips, from Island Press:

This is the natural outcome of capitalism plus separation of church and state. We're feeling the results now.
I think it's the last option. His phone probably heard him ordering Voltaren. It's also the simplest possibility (Ockham's razor).

I know because after discussing extremely rare chemicals at an officemate's desk, he began seeing ads for them. Neither of us had ever Googled or emailed anything related. It was a brand new idea for a brand new project which we had started working on that morning.
I said that PoS isn't much easier to mutate than PoW. EOS isn't really decentralised so it's not a fair comparison to other PoS chains and the other two are PoW just like Bitcoin.

Preach on, brother.

I saw it in the theater when it came out and thought it was funny but obvious over-the-too satire. I was at a small company at the time.

About two months ago I decided to watch something and it popped up on the suggested items. I figured what the he’ll and watched it for the second time ever.

I work for a megacorp and have for most of the last decade.

If anything, office space is too subtle. Instead, I realize now that my reality would be so insane as to be considered unrealistic and too exaggerated. Even “Disrupted” doesn’t actually capture the insanity, dysfunction, etc.

I have joked/threatened for a few years that I would write a book about this place but as I compile an outline I keep asking myself if anyone who hadn’t already had the same experience would believe any of it. The mountain of mediocrity, sure, but the intrigues, scheming, backstabbing, insane and systemic incompetence in every domain? No way.
Popper would have been disgusted by the treatment of RMS and cancel culture in general.

4chan hasn't been "uncensored" for a long time. Over time most of the boards have become overgrown with obtuse and smothering posting rules, both written and unwritten (and new ones are often created out of whole cloth to suit the moment). Even the handful that are supposedly "anything goes" have been seriously reigned in. It's just that 4chan started out so open, and the modern web was gentrified so much faster, that even in its hobbled state the site seems like the wild west comparatively.

My comment was an expansion on GPs second bullet point. It’s not Google that knows about the purchase, but Google that “somehow” picked up contextual info from OPs environment linking OPs online identity to Voltaren as a product.

You're looking at it wrong. There's plenty of people that appear "well-behaved" but they exist on the precipice of "right and wrong" in their psyche. Obviously there are plenty of very criminal people - the c-suite and politicians are disproportionately psychopathic if we're to follow the narrative that psychology has been spinning. And you can see it, there's a wide gamut of extortion and wars. And you'd do well to consider the number of people in prison and those outside of prison simply due to favorable probability. And that's what it boils down to. The probability that some unsexed, psychically distal individual is pushed to the point where they consider the risk reward to be favorable. Introducing sex work into the equation eliminates that specific group, and may buffer, to some extent the truly sinister people who are inclined to exercising their power wantonly. As far as evidence is concerned, do you need a study to do a study to produce evidence that man lives in fear of death?

Of course if one really wanted to present the curative, we'd do well to trivialize sex, but that would destroy marketing culture.
