I notice immediately two main points are wrong:

> Minimal friction.

Fair enough when the site had one ad. Pretty much no site had one ad now. They have lots of them, which is significantly slowing down loading the page. And if you add all tracking and surveillance code, it can inflate a simple site into megabytes of data. There are common sites that load literally hundreds of outside URLs for ad and surveillance mechanics.

Which brings us to point 2:

> Non-regressive. Paywalls, like other fixed costs, are regressive

Ad costs are regressive too - if you have weak computer and low bw connection, if your connection is unstable or expensive, if your only internet device is a mobile phone with less than excellent bandwidth - which is commonly the case in low income communities - then the last thing you want is to be hit with megabytes of ad data which have zero relationship to what you want to get. Of course, for people sitting on optical gigabit networks with latest-greatest hardware their employer paid for is not much of a problem...

If it was just a paid service, you could work out a deal - maybe it could be cheaper for your country, or have some kind of library or per-provider setup that could make it easier for you to get to it - but you don't have this option, it's megabytes of ad everywhere.

IMO, using `unsafe` in order to do FFI is of a fundamentally different character than pure-Rust `unsafe`. To the compiler they're the same thing ("I can't verify this, be careful"), but to a reader/auditor the former is fairly reasonable ("I can see why it might be pragmatic to not have to rewrite this entire C program in Rust"), whereas the latter should raise eyebrows ("why, exactly, does this need to be `unsafe`?").

(That said, you obviously still have to be cautious when doing FFI.)

I’ve been thinking about forking HN to have crypto discussions, I really wish there was a board like this which only talked about technical stuff of crypto
Disagree, it's never been easier. The country is awash in vast amounts of money, trying to find ways to be invested, to be spent. Access to information and resources is higher than it has ever been.

Sure, it's hard to just get by if you aren't out there hustling. The time of getting an average job with an average pension, which lets you buy a reasonable price house is over. The world is your oyster if you are willing to put in the time and have any ability to plan, organize, and work.
I also think there were ways it could have gone away while killing millions. And I am not exaggerating: while living through the collapse our parents kissed us kids goodbye and sent us to the country side.

Some of these ideologies are probably less applicable as your abstraction level increases. When you are writing low-level ASM, notions of return/entry points are critical. When you are writing C#/Java/Rust/et. al., these considerations are below your current level of abstraction and hurt more than help.

Whether you use one or many return statements from a method written in a high level language would depend wholly on the nature of that method's implementation and context of use.

"Targeting based on content fundemenally allows everyone access to ad content."

Can you be more precise about what you mean and why the current system doesn't have it? You're saying that everyone should see ads, even ads they won't like? Forgive me if this isn't a hill I'm interested in dying on.

"It makes content providers more responsible for the Ads they carry. It allows me to avoid sites that show me bad Ads (such as mail order brides)."

Not in a meaningful way. If the ads are generated automatically based on the content, the site might not have much to do with it. Example: Suppose there's a wedding planning site, and a content-based targeting system notices the word "bride" on the site a lot and serves mail order bride ads. Yes, you could avoid the wedding planning site because of this, but is there any reason to punish them? It's not their fault.

"If I get targeted by content independent targeted ads, it can be almsot impossible to avoid those Ads as they will follow you everywhere you go."

Isn't there a menu that lets you select "I don't want to see this ad"?
> not sure that's going to work, because nuclear requires some massive concrete insulation bubbles.

That implies you might need somewhat more land. Take a look around most coal power plants. It's commonly unimproved land because ain't nobody want to live next to that.

> Also the cooling is wildly different, nuclear power plants are built on large bodies of water, If there isn't one, sometimes they built a large dammed lake to have enough water to cool down the reactors in case of an emergency.

You sure it's that different? They both operate on the principle of generating heat to turn water into steam and run turbines. That implies the same amount of generating capacity would require approximately the same amount of water.

With the implication that most of the existing coal power plants are already on bodies of water.

> New nuclear is a challenge right now, because they're not standardized and the costs and timings are insane.

But this is chicken and egg. If you've built none then the first installation you do of its kind has high costs. Build a hundred and that isn't true.

Maybe I am getting old but I find “starting fresh” to be extremely expensive. I recently had to do this with my work MacBook which cannot restore from Time Machine for... reasons.

I don’t know what settings I changed six months or a year or four years ago. I just know that my mouse should scroll that way, not this way. Time Machine makes sure these settings persist between disasters so I don’t generally try to track them. Historically upgrades maintained the settings where they make sense. Over time my environment adapted to my preference.

But with the recent more drastic changes in Big Sur (and my fresh start) I find myself constantly having to re-learn really basic things like how to manage notifications. What used to be one click is three, or gestures that used to do one thing (drag right to dismiss) now do something unexpected (dismiss all notifications for an app). I don’t know how much of this is a setting and how much is just new behavior.

It has been an infuriating experience. I don’t even know how to use my computer and I feel powerless. I also have very little motivation to learn the “new” way because I know it will just change again in a year. So the time I invest now will be wasted.

It’s extremely demoralizing. One of the hardest things I do during the day is try to navigate my desktop environment. I have an adversarial relationship with my MacBook. There’s very little cognitive energy left to do my actual job. I don’t feel like it is improving, my computer is just in my way.

Yes it has. And it has for hundreds of millions people around the world.

You're marked as a risky client anywhere you go that touches money and have to put up with extra checks.

edit: I could be completely over thinking this.
Hmm, I feel like this is missing that those cpu workloads are "bursty", and probably all burst around the same time for a given region. This analysis of unused computer time assumes they can sell your unused time to someone else, which either means network latency to another region or more capacity in the same region as you when you have similar usage times as everyone else. I have no idea if this idea works but I don't think it does for that reason.

I thought the same, but it seems to me the logical conclusion is to mark "I've added no unsoundness compared to if you were using the library I'm binding to" as safe, and add in the docs homepage a general vibe of how sound the bound library is. When I suggested this on the Rust Reddit enough people thought this was a fundamental insult to the principles of what Rust means to them I decided not to do this.
The legal minimum in the EU (and many countries) is 20 days.

I've seen this enforced once, and everyone was amazed that our colleague hadn't used the minimum 20 days. (We had 30 days according to our contract, but the requirement was for him to take 20. The other 10 were up to him.)
The most typical reason people don't like to answer that question is because they believe it is as setup for a followup:

"Then why aren't you doing X?!" where X in this case could be "Fire this person", "Setup a committee overseeing all hires", "Commit to quotas", "Donate money to this cause."

>, but the truth is that people aren't reading that comment accurately and there's a huge dose of hindsight fallacy here.

I appreciate your defense of that comment as it made me re-read it as charitably as possible.

That said, I think you're still overlooking some of the reasons that cause the eyerolling of it that's separate from hindsight bias.

First was the "quite trivially" phrase in the comment. That type of verbiage automatically triggers the perception of haughtiness. Imagine if someone did a Show HN of a new webcam security doorbell and a commenter said, ", you can already build such a system yourself _quite trivially_ by getting some components from DigiKey and soldering them yourself". Can you see how that sounds really dismissive?

Second, it was overlooking the idea that the YC app(lication)s are not intended to create products for Linux power users like BrandonM who can string together curlftpfs with CVS/SVN.

So for him to avoid that comment required stepping outside himself to see the perspective of non-techies. He could still dismiss Dropbox... but for different reasons related to not meeting needs of the end user mass market rather than purely base an opinion off his personal skillset.
