Sorry, but the landing page is not the slightest bit self-explanatory. What is this product? It is a payment mechanism for dentists, or something else entirely? I'm totally unclear if this is even a product, or just a landing page to gauge interest.
Mine is a bit more expensive, since I bought the speakers new (I had somewhat specific demands), but everything else was second-hand.

I've got a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 2s, a Denon AVR-1911 receiver and two Dali SWA 12 subwoofers.

As I wrote above, I bought the speakers new, because I wanted relatively large bookshelf speakers with front ports and living room-friendly looks, and nothing presented itself second-hand. With a bit of patience, you should be able to find a solid pair of speakers in mint condition for $2-300, no problem.

The receiver has 90W per channel (for real, no tricks), Audyssey room correction and was just $80 second hand from a guy who had upgraded to a 4K-capable receiver. I have it hooked up to my TV and so on, but at that price I would be perfectly happy just using it as a stereo amp, since it has good power, digital inputs, room correction and bass management for subwoofers.

The subwoofers were ~$200 each second hand, years and years ago. I'm sure they're even less expensive now, or you can just do without subs.

The answer to your (somewhat leading) questions is just no.

War analogies are inapplicable, privateer analogies are inapplicable. Create the incentives, organizational and software structure required to stop this or it will continue. Holding single companies accountable shifts the burden without solving the problem.

Have standards, standards bodies, defensive organizations.

I don't think everything is the result of "active and generational racism". I live in a country from western europe, and it's hard to find asian food outside of specialized store. Is this because of racism? No, it's mostly because most people don't really eat asian food. People that do eat asian food have special places that cater to them because that's how markets works.

The same is true for music. People listen to pretty diverse things, and considering the success of rap music here (especially our own's country rap), it's hard to call that "active and generational racism" when it's one of the if not the most successful genre inside our country. Most young people listen to rap music and it's seen by older people as a bit weird/worse not because of racism, but because that's how old people see young people's music (The same thing happened with rock, and is still happening with metal. No racism here considering how white metal is.)

Producers do produce music of non-white people, non-white people are currently more popular than white people in music. I can't really speak about musical education since I didn't study it after high school, and before that we only had some bits, but I remember clearly that we talked about blues, jazz and their influence on modern music.

Racism exists, systemic racism exists, personal biaises exists, I'm not denying any of it. But personal preferences also do exists, and respecting them is important. Of course it's not easy to take that into account, because you could use "personal preferences" as an argument to only hire people like you because you "work better with them". But that's public/professional life. What I do in my private life is up to me. I'm not posting racist things, I'm not saying the music I listen to is better. I just support the artists I like and most of them happen to be white. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I listen to and support more transgender people than the majority of the population. Does that means that they are transphobic? Probably not. They may be, but not because of what they listen to.

Perhaps there’s a point at which you become advanced enough to not need SO. I’m certainly not there after a decade of software development. Do I have to dig a bit sometimes and go beyond the first few results on google? Sure. And if that doesn’t work I submit a question. I normally get an answer fairly quickly.
What do you mean by material conditions? The point of socialism is that there is no third party extracting profit from the workers’ labour, only the workers themselves. The workers decide what gets done, how it gets done, and how any profits are disbursed.

A corporation owning the means of production doesn’t meet the basic definitions of socialism since the workers have no power and it is only by the grace of the employer that their voices are heard if at all.

I appreciate that you love capitalism and want it to be the perfect system but it’s not, and you can’t make capitalism look like socialism by dressing it up in welfare and democracy.
More alarmism, I see. Anyone who has read Steven Pinker knows that this all is patently false. Things are better now than they have ever been before. There are certainly some jobs that are less paying, but every individual has the possibility to bring themselves up as it were, and learn basic HTML/JS/CSS and help the world economy go ever forward. I always like to joke with my colleagues and say it less a matter of pulling oneself up by the bootstraps, and more by the Bootstrap (css)!

And even if it were a problem, the solution is so... lame. I particularly like pg's essays on the proposed solution. A wealth tax is simply just not workable. In fact, it violates my rights as an individual. I've worked hard, stepping over the drugged out homeless people in the tenderloin on the way to my startup's office. I've put in the work, getting the connections so that the VC's would fund my expensive expresso machine requirement at any office _I_ work at.

I also find it troublesome that the article does not talk about the environment or diversity, which are clearly more serious issues. We need more BIPOC at the top, sharing some of the spoils, and don't need to necessarily spread the gains across _classes_. And all of this doesn't matter until we tackle more important problems like global warming! If anything, the working class contribute to the problem, I hardly see any of them driving Teslas...
No problem, I saw this in the rules before I posted.

> Commenters: please don't reply to job posts to complain about something. It's off topic here.

What I replied was an objective fact that was omitted by the job poster, rather than a complaint. Maybe you should update the rules to discourage any comments of the sort.

Regardless, potential job seekers might want to know if they might be supporting a platform that promotes academic dishonesty by selling peoples' homework and exams[0]. This problem is not unique to Course Hero and includes other platforms such as Chegg.

There's also the issue of copyright. Professors who create homeworks and tests hold the exclusive rights to reproduce those materials. Course Hero and Chegg blatantly disregard such copyright. Does Y Combinator promote copyright infringement by providing a recruitment platform for Course Hero? Y Combinator, per the legal page, "respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same."

Waiting for a good UI library comparison that focuses on how the library works, how it's customized and how it performs. Instead, they usually focus on stuff like Github stars, which companies are using it, etc.

Those are important of course, but it seems like these posts seem to always be geared towards people who are basically creating stock prototype experiences. The first thing I want to know is how do I customize the components? Can I do it the way I'd like (i.e. SASS vs. CSS in JS vs. Tailwind, etc.)? Can I surgically (and easily) only include only the CSS and Javascript that I need... and lastly what are my options and tradeoffs with the build process. It's pretty easy with Ant Design for example to wind up with a huge bundle even if you use a fraction of the library.
Except no pay out for you. Maybe the next big site should be backed by crypto or something with token rewards so you make something by building the sure with content?
Fully remote is probably excessively limiting. There are many companies that are very remote-friendly but which still have an office/offices.
Yeah - it's legal to open one pretty much anywhere - compared to the US where they're illegal in most areas of most cities. It's nice to be able to walk to stuff!
"I don't want to be a slave to money," he later told a reporter.

It seems that is exactly what he is. If this article is any indication, that is all he talks about.

The minute he stops talking money-related topics, he is irrelevant and incapable of holding anyone's (i.e., the media's) attention.

Another case of America's (American media's, at least) belief that when a person becomes engorged with cash, that person suddenly becomes worth listening to.
I disagree. The truck going through the crowd model requires a sacrificial group member. In our country, the lack of terrorist group members makes their individual value higher. that makes an attack that has a higher capex cost more appealing, such as sacrificial drones.

A swarm of two dozen drones costing less than $50k could foul all of a passenger airplane's engines within a few thousand feet of takeoff. The evidence would be pretty junked up and there is no easy way to trace it back to the controller while it's happening. No sacrificial terrorist cell member needed.
The misuse or "theft" of semi-public energy really is grasping at straws. All but Bitcoin uses or will use PoS, which requires little energy. Bitcoin itself requires such computing power that the petty theft of energy won't ever mine a single sat.

You didn't justify leaving electronics plugged in, you said it provided value: convenience. If you'd calm down and read between the lines, see the overall point that "value" is subjective. Surely we can point out several energy consumers offering questionable or no value. The popular narrative is that Bitcoin offers no value at all, which I tried to counter. Clearly it has value. Maybe not to you, but it does to 100m+ users and exponentially growing. And the value it offers ranges from a humanitarian life raft to pure greed, yet value it is.

True, I do not consider Bitcoin a currency as in a payment currency. Its currently useless for that in a technical sense, but also in a financial sense. You do not want to spend a deflationary asset.

I consider it an asset, banks literally call it a new asset class. Is it speculative? Yes and no. Short term it is, day to day its clearly volatile and actively manipulated by traders (doing longs, shorts, leverage). So as a "store of value" on the short term, it's a failure. With a bank account, if I put in 10K today, I can take out 10K the day after. With Bitcoin, that 10K might be 9K or 12K, who knows?

Longer term, it's less speculative. It's deflationary, aiming to at least counter fiat inflation, yet in reality far surpass it in growth, doing 5-10x price actions every halving, and about 200% per year on average. That's the track record. I can't predict the future.

I think the point of a debate is to discuss opposing views. They don't have to grow further apart, but they might. I also don't mind a hot debate, nor am I frustrated or upset with you. My point isn't too "win".

Still, nice to agree on one point in the end. Have a great day.

So I can pay with crypto on Amazon? Etsy? Discogs?

I don’t understand why there are so many posts here saying ‘just use crypto’, like - PayPal is a scam and needs a replacement but the problem is until sites start accepting crypto as simply as PayPal works then things will stay the same.

What you’re saying to do in your comment - on most major online retailers - is not yet possible, and it will probably take a long time even if it can find critical mass.

Crypto is another currency - it’s not another payment processor and while those are starting to exist we are nowhere close.

I believe the laments here are more so related to PayPal’s dominance - for most websites it’s that or your credit card.

Libertarians have substantial, though I think not majority, representation on HN. Certain themes always seem to repeat that seem related to this. For instance, likening any form of prohibition to the failed prohibition of alcohol to suggest that all forms of prohibition are similarly doomed. This argument relies on the reader neglecting to consider the myriad of prohibitions that are going well, like CFC bans or the prohibition on building unsafe firetrap buildings. They point out one failure and ask us to extrapolate from only that datapoint, ignoring the rest.

As in this case, pointing out a hypothetical way a law could fail, to insinuate that all laws would fail.
man, it sucks to see such stories. especially for such big scale projects/products accessibility should be high priority :(
> Mp3 is painfully obvious on crappy, processed-to-hell speaker systems like the iMac.

I didn't know that was the case. Do you know why that somehow accentuates MP3 artifacts? It's not obvious to me why it would, since all the processing iMac speakers might perform is high-quality (no recompression involved). I mean, obviously the iMac isn't going to improve the MP3, it just tries to improve the speakers. But why would that make artifacts more noticeable?

If anything, don't "crappy" speakers hide MP3 artifacts, because they're not good enough to expose them?
NASA announces two new missions to Venus

I don't know why. I had looked it up once because I have backyard chickens. I had found an article talking about the few hours thing, but when I looked for it again, I found these:

https://www.reference.com/world-view/long-can-salmonella-liv...

This one talking about salmonella surviving on surfaces for months.

https://news.cornell.edu/stories/1997/12/salmonella-fact-she...

This one has more specifics:

> Salmonella bacteria love wet environments shielded from the sun. They have the remarkable ability to survive under adverse conditions. They survive between the pH’s of 4 to 8+, and can grow between 8 and 45 C. Salmonella are facultative anaerobic bacteria that can survive under low oxygen tension such as in manure slurry pits. Salmonella are known to survive for long periods in soil and in water. Salmonellae spread onto fields in the form of manure may survive for long periods; it is best to spread the manure onto flat land (to prevent runoff problems) where it is exposed to the drying effects of wind, and to the bactericidal effect of UV irradiation from the sun; manure should be spread onto cropland rather than onto pastures for grazing.

I think the article I got was talking about how long salmonella can survive in the sun. (I live in Phoenix). I was wrong about salmonella surviving only a few hours outside the body, though it seems there are circumstances where exposure to UV light from the sun and drying out can kill the salmonella faster.

In that same paragraph, it also mentions the best practice is to spread it onto cropland rather than pastures for grazing. In the regenerative practices I was talking about, the grazing animals are frequently rotated through sections of pasture. It might be a full year before they are rotated back onto the same section again. On other farms, the pasture is actually no-till cropland that have cover grown on it, and probably sectioned off as well.

On feedlots, the livestock all confined together. You have to keep up with clearing the manure, and I think it is more likely for pathogens to infect the whole herd, than when you are rotating the livestock to new pastures.
Ask HN: How to capture private slack channel conversations
When a incident happens at work, someone from my team sets up a private slack channel (war room) and invites a select number of people to join and work the incident. After the incident is remediated, we attach the screen shots from the war room on to the corresponding ticket as artifacts. There has to be a better way at accomplishing this and produce a better output, like a text file. Does anyone know of a bot or slack app that we can invite into a private slack channel that does nothing but capture all of the conversations and logs it into a usable format for attaching into a ticket? I've searched and haven't found much and it seems like it might need to be a custom bot, but before I go off and design something, maybe someone already has built something like this?

Thanks in advance.
Texas geography is a bit weird. Everything is 20-30 miles apart with a bunch of little small communities. There are huge sprawling ranches and private reserves all over the place. Very little public land too. Herds of 100+ whitetail deer hang out in the city parks at night. Armadillos and opossums are everywhere. I'm sure in city centers it's a bit different because there isn't as much wild land. But even in the outskirts of Austin you will see tons of ranch land and 5 acre homesteads.

It's pretty cool to ride at night and see the wildlife living alongside housing tracts and 7/11 stores. Although if you like gardening you can bet a deer will eat your roses before too long. All the gardens look like maximum security prisons!
> If a majority of the world agreed on labor standards and excluded the rest from trade, there would be no need for protectionism

The average American does not want to buy stuff from slaves, at any price.

It's just that if I want to record a factory in China and show people how kids and prisoners are making their shit, it's not that they won't watch - it's that someone in China will shoot me.

It's very hard to show someone what slavery looks like, even though it's pervasive in the offshore supply chain.

People become vegans when they see what happens to animals at slaughterhouses. There are a lot of vegans. The reaction from the meat lobby isn't, blah blah blah prices. It's just to make it illegal to record in a slaughterhouse.

> But virtually no Americans are willing to pay a higher price for them.

This is some really myopic thinking. Just decide: would you pay a higher price to not get stuff from slaves, or not? Just you personally. I don't care what Americans think. How could you possibly say, "Yes, I'm okay with lower prices enabled by slavery." You wouldn't!

I just go and buy American. So I pay four times more for a pair of shoes, setting me back to 2001 prices. A time when quality of life was still very high. Boohoo. I don't want to fucking profit from slavery.

The argument you're engaging in is almost always made in bad faith. While you aren't saying it in bad faith, you're being co-opted by people who are. No CEO or politician sincerely blames Americans' sensitivity to prices for slavery in China, they just want to reap the profits of that status quo.
