>"Savings don't sit in a vault somewhere. They get reinvested into the economy, providing capital. "

No they don't. Savings is only a number in a computer and lending is not limited to the available savings because private banks create money when lending. So, the quantity of savings have not effect in how much financial capital can be invested in the economy.

Private banks don't lend reserves (or savings), instead, they lend when makes business sense and then search for reserves in the system. Central banks will accommodate any need of reserves in the system in order to keep the interest rate in their choose range.

I don't think there were people who thought segwit was bad. There were simply people who thought that more was needed to allow more TXses in a block. They were generally in favor of allowing much larger blocks.

The reason segwit got involved was mostly that it was framed as "either we do segwit, or we do bigger blocks"
Native speakers don't necessarily use their native language every day, and in fact a non-native English speaker might use English every day.

There are cases in which non-natives might have better grasp of orthography compared to natives (which might be what GP is objecting to).

I'd be surprised if the vast majority of non native English speakers would fail to spell "read"... Otoh as a non-native, I struggle to be understood and properly differentiate letters like a-e, p-b, etc. So for that reason I use the Nato alphabet whenever I need to spell something

Well, in this millenium :). And while I remember the Archimedes well, this was another day and age and unfortunately it failed to gain much traction back then. A lot of bad tech could have been avoided, if it had become main stream. I fondly remember the times, when there were plenty of competing processor architectures, almost every one more interesting than the x86 architecture.
This one is a significant failure of our entire industry. We've somehow accepted that degrading user experience because of an implementation detail is good instead of working together to hide that implementation detail by implementing the necessary browser functionality.

We already have technologies such as Kerberos that are supported in every browser and seem like they would solve this problem.

In any case, as a website operator you can mitigate this. Have separate pages for SSO/non-SSO, dynamically hide the password field if the username is associated with an SSO provider, or just ignore the password field and have a subtitle along the lines of "leave password empty for SSO accounts".

And when you access the site directly, you are always shown the front page which is basically a full-screen ad and serves no other purpose than user conversion. Furthermore, the sign-up link literally says "Open Discord in your browser" which can be read as "go to the app".

Ideally there was one single email address field and a combined sign up / sign in button that either took you to the password or new account creation dialog. If you're concerned about privacy implications, do realize that user signup forms leak the very same information.
Twitter is only important to the in-group that uses it. To them, it feels bigger and more important than it is because half of it is made up of bots and spammers inflating numbers and activity.

Unlike a normal CDN, AMP does not serve the same content as the origin. You need to make a special, lite edition of the original web page which does not work on Safari or Firefox, and may not necessarily make your site faster. [1]

You cannot switch AMP cache to another vendor if you want Google rank your AMP site higher. [2] You also need a speical TLS certificate with the CanSignHttpExchanges extension that can only be get from DigiCert (for a price)[3] and not from Let's Encrypt [4].

For most people in Denmark, emergency funds are not necessary. If you live somewhat frugally, dagpenge will take care of you (and if you maintain yourself within the framework).

I mostly agree but primarily because departures are inherently non-news.

I acknowledge that there is little transparency in the private sector (I'm not suggesting that there should be) and for companies of public interest the public must grasp at straws, such as departures.

I can also acknowledge that executive and governance "challenges" can have a high correlation with corporate distress, but it's probably not much different than the general distribution of companies.

People's expectations of what other's careers should look like is warped. I think mostly because people wish they were founders or valued personnel for a project they would get married to. But there is little utility in being married to a forever project, they should appreciate the utility that was provided for the time it was relevant.

Yes. Google are facing many lawsuits that suggest that AMP manipulated the ads platforms, in their favour.

Using a different CDN shouldn't significantly impact a site's income, but using AMP may have.
If you trust your partner, encourage them to be stricter with you and to further restrict access to your device.

Create a new Apple ID that only they have access to and reset your phone to that ID, then lock it down again. You can also go further with other settings then like using a DNS server that allows you to block the domains of problem sites, stopping you from bypassing the lack of apps with websites.

Also, maybe consider an iPad and throwing away the iPhone. It's bigger and harder to compulsively check and you can't carry it in your pocket. Do your banking on that, bin the iPhone, carry a dumbphone all day instead. If you can break the habit of pulling out your phone to check it you'll gain a bit of breathing space for your compulsions.

I know multiple people with OCD and anxiety. For some, professional treatment and medication works well. For others, the only thing that really works is cognitive behavioural therapy, and finding a system that works for you is going to be trial and error.

No, after activation of Taproot, coins can be spend in fewer ways than they could before. The new 'taproot outputs' will look like "anyone can spend" transactions to old nodes. It is only new nodes that will enforce the new rules on these transactions.
A couple of frequent mistakes with signin which are usually caused by junior product owners/ux persons not reflecting on what they are doing and blindly copying what they believe is the way to do things.

- Having confusing language and poor differentiation between the sign in and sign up form. Symptom, users start filling in the wrong form only to realize their mistake.

- Separating the password from the email field with an extra mouse click sucks if you are using a password manager. Doubly so on mobile where using password managers involve a bit of fiddly interactions. Having to do this twice sucks. If you do this, at least have one of the fields in the dom tree but hidden so that it gets filled with one click via your password manager.

- Not making the login form password manager friendly my not sticking to conventions for field names for this.

Somewhat more seriously, I think an aspect of California food is that it's highly regional and it ends up being a bit of a fool's errand expecting it to be replicated precisely out-of-region.

It's bizarre you can't get a structurally integral burrito south of San Jose, never mind Weehawken, and I'm equally bewildered, as an adoptive Northern Californian, that foil could possibly be such a point of contention.

The only possible advantage to foil is that if you don't eat it all it's marginally easier to take home.

I can only assume that San Diegans take their burritos home far too sober. Surely that can't be true. We have to get to the bottom of this.
Yeah, that's not true.

Ask HN: What's the right way to handle a GPL violating project?
I know of a project that's violating the GPL. For context, they've been public about building their code on a GPL project, they've released binaries extending heavily on that code base, and have never released their code.

They're basically making up reasons why they're not releasing the source code - things like "we're too busy to do the support work required when code is public - we don't have the resources for that".

They also release empty source code zipfiles with their binaries - presumably so they can claim it was all an accident that those files didn't actually have the source code in them - that there is no source code on github or anywhere else makes this a bit hard to swallow as an excuse.

I think such situations should be handled in a low key manner initially - giving them the opportunity to fix it without a public fuss and I think public shaming should be avoided at least initially private emails asking them to release the code is the right thing to do. There's no need to embarrass people if it can be avoided. Also the Internet is already full of enough angry mobs ruining reputations - I don't think online pitchforked crowds are something to be encouraged.

However, I've asked three times and heard nothing back. I asked once via github and they promptly shut down the issue section of their github project. I asked once via Twitter and no reply. I asked once via email and heard nothing back.

I don't care at all about the project or it's software but it bothers me that they're breaking the GPL. I'm no huge GPL warrior but I think if they don't want to conform to the GPL then they should not have built a major chunk of software on top of someone else's GPL project.

What should I do? I still think it would best be resolved by the project owners quietly fixing the problem without public shaming etc. On the other hand, since they don't reply, maybe that's the only option? What else can be done? Are there other ways to quietly handle this? Maybe there's some sort of legal expert in the field who would be willing to contact them on the quiet initially?

Surely for the project in question they're better off to be "the hero" who voluntarily announces the release of their source code, rather than the villain stealing and selling the GPL code of other people.
> Not to mention that a 40000 word word list has a lot more room for misremembering and mishearing than spelling out a sequence of digits. If it had used a word list that was designed to be easily recognized by sound, had no plurals etc, that would have been a different thing.

Not only that, the word list is localised in different languages, and those are untranslatable as each locale uses a different coefficient table.

> Still not sure if ARRAY['k'] is a thing, though.

Yes it is. It's an alternative way of writing an array. Typically easier for e.g. text values as the quoting follows the normal SQL rules, e.g.

vs

'{"foo\"bar", "bar"}'
He didn't hide that, he stated it explicitly a little later: "I used to sell software, and now I sell services". "Telecommunications company" seems more specific than "software company" to me.

Don't make customer hunt for anything on your website.

Prioritize features (ideally based on studying user behavior), and make those features present and accessible. Hide the rest, if necessary, behind some menu system or toggle.

The minimalism trend (perhaps a reaction to the early amazingly busy Amazon UI?) has gone too far. One great (bad) example of this is Parabol.co. We use it at my company, and it provides just the right set of features we need. But for providing a relatively small feature set, it seems to go out of its way to make it difficult to know how to use those features. I only mention them because they are a good example of this, but there are countless other services that have user hostile (or frustrating) interfaces.
There are some principal arguments that probably should be surfaced for non-Danish people:

In Denmark we have a NemKonto system that forces people to have a bank account. In short, you register an account with the government they will use to make all payments to you (social benefits, return taxes, etc). Most employers also use this system for salary.

Practically speaking, it is not possible to live in Denmark without a bank account. Therefore people might see it as a principal right to have a place to have free deposits.

Ie. When bank accounts are imposed as they are, they should be outside of the market.

Completely agree that it’s more of a mindset change, both for companies/developers and especially users; but I think it’s also a stepping stone for the ubiquitous or pervasive computing academics have been writing about for decades. Apps and services that can talk to each other at first and then devices. This together with the various home devices that people are already collecting and the improvement and mainstream adoption of wearables (thinking mostly of the capabilities of the apple watch here) and technologies such as ultra wideband (apple u1) should be able to take the pervasive computing one step further but adding a layer of locality.
