I do not think that the problem is with the content, moreso with the unnecessarily aggressive tone. Shit, cult ... - HN generally rewards civility and does not like sliding towards Twitter mode of operation.
Adding tokens isn't just about money -- it provides a lot of features that simple money doesn't.

For example, each token may have voting power, allowing users (and more so power users) to have a say in the decision making of the product. Holding tokens (versus selling them) could also come with extra VIP privileges (similar to a rewards system). The point is to reward users for providing content, not just in money but also a say in the platform.

I agree with you that people will create content for free. But I think there is still a massive audience that could provide great content thats left out on the sidelines because there is no other motivation.

Why is youtube so much bigger than reddit? Youtube is literally an ecosystem -- where successful youtuber's have set up great partnerships outside of youtube due to their content. Individuals have built a career on youtube, something not possible on a free model like reddit.

"Partly this is not good - lots of content on YouTube for example is kind of cookie cutter attention getting spam type stuff. --> there may be ways to combat this, if the algo deciding how to distribute MU tokens is efficient. But if not, and this is the trade-off in building a massive community like Youtube that provides insane amount of knowledge to the world, then is worth it (imo).
Thanks for laying out the logic so coherently.

The comments by Martin Shkreli I was referring to are actually in the video that you linked. The subtlety in Shkreli's comment is that he was referring to amassing "fortunes". That is where he states that amassing fortunes most likely requires using "other people's money". Which makes sense.

He cites Joe Lewis as an example of a solo investor going from "zero to hero", but I would not say he was strictly an "investor" as he was a currency trader. Also, he had initial wealth from a luxury goods business.

Just for curiosities sake, do you know of any examples of retail investors amassing sizable amount of money starting from very little?
I'd argue that for unique companies like AirBnB the founders become domain experts while they're building the company.
> They are betting that PC/Laptop/Mobile hardware will stagnate from this point on

No, they are betting that no matter the processing power of computing devices of the day, developers will always push things to the limit and ship products that can end up being slow on devices used by a large share of the population.

This has always happened, because software product makers always want their products to have as many features/capabilities as possible, and release them to market as quickly/cheaply as possible, which means there are lesser incentives to limit functionality or to invest in performance optimisation.

There's no reason to believe this trend will cease, so Mighty is offering a service that allows people to get much higher performance of their webapps without always needing to have the highest-power computing device in their possession.

How on earth would that work for their product? They need to access the data so they can render it.
Fair enough. Though "Ask HN: How to attract Sr. Engineers when the contract market is so lucrative?" fits.
Take care driving as serious as aviation. Mandatory dash cams to make it easier to assign blame, automatic sensors which alert police when they detect the driver is behaving erratically. Make it easy to report other drivers for bad behavior (sitting on someone else's bumper, brake checking them, cutting them off, jersey lane swapping) which results in mandatory training or points off their license.
Unfortunately it’s become a high-confidence signal that shenanigans will be ongoing.
I never thought that this would improve sleep. But it's certainly easier on the eye.
I put 'payment due on receipt of invoice' right on the invoice. That's worked for me even at large companies with policies of net-30, net-60 or even net-90. I submit; the payment shows up in a week or so.

Another way: give a 2% discount for payment within 30 days. Haven't met an accountant that passes up a discount.
You stated your viewpoint, and claimed that the other point of viewpoint is “spin”. However you haven’t made a compelling argument why the opposing viewpoint is spin and why yours is better.
Easy answer is ETFs or index funds.

As for understanding, follow the financial news and the news related to the top holdings of industry/sector specific ETFs.
One better long term solution is to raise salaries. Raising the hourly wage will help fill in some employment.

Yes there are side effects to that (raising prices is one), but anything else is pushing a problem forward.
Indeed, however there was something uniquely terrible about the Nazi atrocities.

The Nazis invaded countries and then systematically got to the task of murdering their entire totally harmless Jewish population, simply because of their ethnicity.

There was no possible military or tribal gain or anything, it was just pure racial hatred.

What's especially horrifying is that Germany was a very advanced civilization using sophisticated and systematic means to accomplish this.
Another problem is that it will probably increase the proliferation of strict liability offences.

The fact that a law is internally consistent and free of loopholes does not necessarily mean that it is a good law but an algorithmic approach to creating such laws risks making their creation too easy so that we end up with a large body of law that can't be argued against because it has been 'proven' correct.

I'm reminded of a remark that Donald Knuth made regarding a piece of code. It went something like this: "Be careful if you use this, I have merely proven it correct but not tried to run it."
Norway, whilst not in the EU, has very close links and often aligns with EU laws.

Incidentally, the UK has now left the EU but has retained the GDPR in domestic law.
Norway kind of has a special relationship with the EU. They aren't members, but they follow some of the laws and participate in some programmes.

Wiki quote on Norway:

> After the 1994 referendum, Norway maintained its membership in the European Economic Area (EEA), an arrangement granting the country access to the internal market of the Union, on the condition that Norway implements the Union's pieces of legislation which are deemed relevant (of which there were approximately seven thousand by 2010) Successive Norwegian governments have, since 1994, requested participation in parts of the EU's co-operation that go beyond the provisions of the EEA agreement. Non-voting participation by Norway has been granted in, for instance, the Union's Common Security and Defence Policy, the Schengen Agreement, and the European Defence Agency, as well as 19 separate programmes.

I’d like to see more companies offering flexible working schedules. 4-day workweeks or part time. Two months on, one month off.

FAANGS can’t match flexible work schedules.
Well I am running Ubuntu 20.04 and have experienced boot issues after update multiple times. Currently my laptop is not directly bootable as zpools are imported in wrong order / not imported at all so I have to import them manually. As there is not enough information how the freaking boot works and I am not prepared to study grub2 to figure it out and I am in this situation for 6 months.

This is my last root ZFS install on linux.

I had problems with fedora before (where at least ZFS wasnt supported and I was expecting problems), I am having problems with Ubuntu now and I never had any issues with zfs root on FreeBSD in ~15 years.

I am sick of distributions "moving fast and breaking things" on my back.
It doesn't actually check your answer. You're supposed to check your answer against the game yourself
Phone cameras have improved in resolution but their optical zoom hasn't gotten much better. The Chelyabinsk meteor is easy to see without any zoom because of the contrail and glow from burning in the atmosphere, but the UFOs that people claim to see don't leave any signatures. They're often reported as just shapes moving in strange ways or balls of light. The few witness testimonies I've seen often estimate the size of the UFO being smaller than a commercial airliner, I believe David Fravor said the Tic Tac was about the size of an F-18 hornet. If they also move as fast and erratically as people often claim, it's not that surprising there isn't more photographic evidence.

And there actually are quite a few photos and videos captured of UFO phenomenon, but they get posted on obscure areas of social media and never make mainstream news. The videos are often debunked as weather balloons, flairs, or something else prosaic. In some cases the debunking theory is confirmed because e.g. we can confirm that skydivers with flairs were in the same region as the video was taken. In most cases it's just a video of a small object in the sky and there's no way to confirm what it is.

Re: NORAD, Jacques Vallee claimed in a Joe Rogan interview that (either the ARTCC or NORAD) do see thousands of objects on radar every month that get classified as "uncorrelated targets" and are ignored because they don't show any inbound trajectory toward the US.
That's an emotional response going the other way. Why not just think of the project itself as if the blockchain side of it never existed? Is there a real product, is there a visible progress, is the time investment happening in the development rather than empty announcements?
Honestly allowing graphic content to get mixed and have context added feels like the best(and worst) of both worlds.
> easier to pay Mighty to "virtualize" the browser, than it is to keep all computers up to date and without malicious extensions.

Not denying your other points but Amazon Workspaces[1] is a product that perfectly fits their needs.

From a top-level exec's stand point I would imagine they would be more willing to buy something like Amazon Workspaces which gives them 100% control and peace of mind Vs piecemeal approach such as browser, conference call client etc.,

For night shift to truly work, the phone should only display time and allow for an emergency call (or maybe allow running certain apps like Headspace). If you want to fall asleep, you need to stop stimulating your brain. Otherwise this will just prolong the pain and frustration that you can't sleep despite all these "measures".

There is no silver bullet answer. I've been hired and I know how does it feel when company wants to hire, and when they're into teasing and time wasting game. FAANG might get away with recruitment false negatives but even their overconfidence has been overheating with personal clashes in recent years. In between there is a lot of space, and a lot of people looking.

Understanding the futility of policing bad ideas or "wrong" ideas is capableweb's point. Whether or not society deems the idea as wrong or immoral reprehensible ect. the utterance of the words being judged as tantamount to the immoral act itself has shown to not be very helpful.

This shift has ever expanded the militarized zone of topics one can't even discuss and all for what purpose? It seems like the enclaves of bad and dangerous ideas now insulated from the very influence of better information. It this not just the worst of both worlds?

yes, both NetBSD and OpenBSD i386 works great on Old Computers and take very little space, I have OpenBSD on a Thinkpad R51e (circa 2007) and had NetBSD on a circa 1999 desktop (512 mb mem) which sadly is slowly fading away (hardware).

Also both have solved the 2038 problem on 32 bit systems years ago. I think Linux is very close to solving it (or may have already), but that is for newer kernels. I expect Linux will probably drop 32 bit support with in a few years.
Stricter driving tests is the obvious one.

> Honestly if you actually start researching WW1 and the lead up to it you discover many things that are counter to the typical WW1 you learn in school.

I'm always interested in such new perspectives. Do you have anything further to recommend (in addition to Towards the flame)?
If you can't pay a living wage, don't start or have a business. Period.

This isn't a big vs small business debate - small places don't always pay crap wages, and some big places do pay crap wages.

Sidenote: A lot of fast food places are franchises, and a franchise might just have one or two. They aren't in any better position than a family-owned fast food place in a small town.
So what is your preferred alternative/language/framework?
"If you can't afford what you need, you just have to pay more" is a true statement, but not much of a solution in most cases.
Oh wow I stand corrected. I saw Py..on 2.2 in and my head for some reason I thought it was a mad science experiment to gain a performance edge by resurrecting an old version without the bloat, because Python 2.2 is something I remember very well. If Pyston is really fully committed to going their own way with a fork, I'd recommend they just go for the gold and bump up the version to 4.x, since that sends a pretty clear message to the Python project about how valuable they feel the enhancements they've made are, while avoiding confusion. Python performance is truly something we all want to see improve so maybe things will change.
Yes, so cruel to force you to earn your own living instead of being supported by others who didn't get the chance to have offspring and be subsidized for it prior to the pandemic

The disease doesn't affect kids. Open schools and get people back to work.

I'm tired of working so I can pay peoples' welfare. I'd sure like to not work and get paid, too, but that's not reality. Someone needs to tell the children at r/antiwork that, too.

At a software role at a small company, I had a bonus tied to the successful integration of a 3rd party workflow tool into our offering. The 3rd party was apparently a friend of our owner. I tested the tool in question and decided that it added no value, so I did not pursue the integration. As a consequence, I did not receive the bonus.

> I've self trained or picked things up as I go along a few times as a contractor

Why would i hire a self trained machine learning engineer with no experience on high day rates when I can hire someone with experience. Ppl hiring contractors don't have time or patience for you to experiment with self training on their dime, I would hire a fulltimer if i have all the time and money for ppl to learn on the job.
For reasons I can't explain, furniture-grade hardwood is only up 25% or thereabouts near me (VT/NH). It's really only the construction material that's gone bonkers.

I don't pay as much attention to high grade sheet goods prices because I mostly work in solid wood, but they seem reasonable-ish. Good plywood has always been pricey.
> let’s not pretend our opinions have any significance in these matters.

I disagree strongly with this. That's what the powerful want you to think and feel—that your opinion has no significance. Fortunately, it's not true.
Much stricter requirements for getting (and keeping) your drivers license. Policies focusing on reducing drunk driving (both focusing changing attitudes, increasing the risk of getting caught and increasing the punishments for people caught). More consistent and continuous enforcement of existing driving laws. You can probably do more to get unsafe cars off the roads. There is a lot you can do around designing roads and traffic flows in ways that reduce the risk of accidents.
Anecdata, but I have reduced-blue options enabled on every screen I can (including my desktop) 24/7 and I have zero problems with sleep. It just feels nicer on the eyes, whatever the time of day.
I agree. The iPhone is the perfect counter-example to this narrative: perhaps one of the most revolutionary pieces of hardware or software in the last 20 years, it came out of Apple, an established company at the time.
> but they implement GDPR

The GDPR is great for the citizens! My wish is that more countries follow the EU and implement similar and compatible laws. An interesting example of this is that the UK made sure to implement a clone of GDPR in UK law before leaving the EU/EEA.
Senior here. I prefer remote, but comp has to be enough for me to rent a bigger place isolated from kids, or straight up a nearby office.
This is the standard network computing paradigm. In the past you had terminals connected to a mainframe etc.. Same thing. X11/RDP and what not.

The biggest gain here is security, you won't ever run code natively. The caveat is you also have to trust the host.

You can remote debug webviews (from Safari on a Mac), but only web views in apps signed with a development provisioning profile (1). So to debug web content in iOS Chrome you would have to build and install Chromium for iOS yourself, rather than use the Chrome App Store version.

It might be a cultural thing, if you're content in Danish you're "tilfreds", but that's still a more positive word than content.

Happiness is translated to "lykkelig", which technically is a much more positive state than "tilfreds" (also much more positive than happy), but I don't think many Danes distinguishes that hard between "lykkelig" and "tilfreds", in terms of expressing their level of happiness with everyday life. We're generally more muted in our feelings and tend to not use the extremes, unless sarcastically. At least that's my take on Danish mentality.

You could perhaps use reasonable or tolerable, if you want the same result at perhaps Americans would expect to get from "content".
I don't think so, at least not in any technical aspect. Pretty much everything about the tech was a logical extension of industry trends. It began life as a CD-ROM add-on for the SNES similar to Sega's SegaCD for the Genesis/MegaDrive. Outside the technology, the low license cost and relative ease of developing for it built a sizeable and varied library of games, which I think was a major contributor to its success, but neither of those things strike me as particularly revolutionary.
What is the deal with the GDPR vis-a-vis US companies?

If we have a company incorporated solely in the USA that has web content that violates the GDPR but shows a popup and states in its ToU that the website is not to be used by any person or entity in countries that follow the GDPR, can our company be fined under the GDPR?

In other words, do GDPR countries claim jurisdiction over non-GDPR countries' websites?
I think it's plausible that we could see entire cities abandoned in our lifetime due to climate catastrophe.

If you have ever filled a gratitude journal you often put mundane things that make you happy. “My cake turned out great!”

So who is to say what makes people happy?
He doesn't say that crazy ideas by domain experts always work out. He makes two claims:

1) That if the crazy idea is from a domain expert, it deserves to be taken seriously. It doesn't deserve to be taken as gospel, but it shouldn't be dismissed outright.

2) He's betting (but not stating as fact) that if you did blindly support the crazy ideas of domain experts, you'd be right more often than you're wrong.

This is not the same thing as saying domain experts are always right. Simply that all things being equal, you're better off betting on their expertise over your own ignorance. But even better than that is to look into the matter until you have sufficient expertise to properly evaluate their idea.
Even for full EU members enforcement of GDPR falls to institutions within each individual country.
