>> if you work 4 hours to live a normal lifestyle, why not work 40 and get on top of the pyramid

The point is that you don't need to get to the top of the pyramid to get what you want. If you list all the things you want (including things like sports cards, travel etc.) the monthly income you need to do this things (e.g. lease the sports car) is less than you think. That monthly income target (+maximising free time to do what you like) should be your goal, not "being a millionaire/being a CEO etc.".
I think a lot of people's main problem with entrepreneurship is that it's by and large a rich kid's game. I know a few "serial entrepreneurs" - every time they failed, their parents or the social network they grew over the years at their private school were there to pick up the pieces and back them for the next attempt. Until they made it and didn't need help any more and could pay for their own flat and live off their projects. It's a problem in a lot of professions too, like law or even acting https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/14/workin...

Most people have zero shots, or at best one, in them until they have to get back to paying their bills - and get stuck in the rat race forever. No access to credit, no chance of getting in front of a VC firm to pitch, etc.

The majority of people don't really care if the Harvard or Stanford kid had to put in 80+ hour weeks to build his or hers business. However hard that is to pull off, people won't respect it because it's just privilege asserting itself most of the time.

Yes this my attempt to at least give a hint with my far from expert knowledge.

My point is we should spend our effort to solve this instead of trying to make information private.

I agree but the author might be implying that this was not the first thought and that creates dramatic tension. What triggered the memory? Was he recalling it on purpose to inform his next move? Was he forced to remember because the leader of the firing squad also figured in the memory but he didn't realize it at first?
> At first I wondered why bother. If there's a famine or a meat shortage, wouldn't people turn to other foods on their own?

In the early months of the Covid pandemic, most developed countries saw a toilet paper shortage. Not due to supply, but due to consumer behaviour.

If anything, a real or perceived shortage tends to cause consumers to behave less rationally, not more. Markets don’t self-regulate well in these circumstances.

Some underlying fundamentals are known for quite a long time: "All in all, wealth consists more in use than in possession; for the actualization of the potentialities of such things and their use is wealth" -- Aristotle’s On Rhetoric

If possessing is more often than not the best way someone may understand it and also understand when smart farmers will also understand it, then develop an adequate offering, and if it performs better most will understand. It is only "more profitable to build in all of these locks" when you have customers. Am I delusional?

Just to add to this, some of these settlements seem to come with compromises from Google, so basically they are being forced into compliance.

So it's not like this was just a cost of doing business to maintain the status quo, but a fine applied despite the changes they have to make.

If this starts to build up (fines + changes) seems better then nothing, or just fines alone.

I’m with you on the answer being to root out corruption and for the country to get its affairs in order. As for establishing a new banking system, isn’t that exactly what they are doing - albeit using Bitcoin and Lightning instead of fiat. El Salvador is a poor country and 70% of it’s citizens lack a bank account (but most have a phone.) The reason most don’t have bank accounts is that there isn’t enough profit for the bankers at the moment. Bitcoin and Lightning fixes this with better technology.

I don’t see how giving the citizens of your country the option to save their wealth in a peer-to-peer alternative to traditional currency, powered by a hard inflation policy that cannot be manipulated by any politician or central banker impedes that solution. If anything giving the citizenry a Plan Bitcoin option would seem like a honking good idea to fight inflation. Just look at Venezuela, Libya, Syria et al for recent examples of how Bitcoin helped citizens of those countries.

Is the argument that Bitcoin won’t help them at all or that Bitcoin alone is not the whole solution. (I agree with the latter)
You have a choice to do something other than what you're doing right now. Having clear goals for where you want to end up that guide your choices, you can eventually stop working a job you hate and do something you find more fulfilling to generate the money you need.

So the choice is do you want to work toward a goal like that or instead just soothe your dissatisfaction by complaining about how rich people have more than you and life's not fair. That's basically what the author is doing.
Essay: Productization of a System
Noorah's talk (https://emacsconf.org/2020/talks/17/ , also recommended elsewhere in this thread) is a good one to look at. You might also like https://www.rousette.org.uk/tags/emacs and https://gretzuni.com/category/free-software/ .

One of the things I like about Emacs is its versatility. Do you think the people you're talking to might be curious about some examples of how people have used Emacs? I think it's awesome that people who are blind or have low-vision have Emacspeak, that people use Org Mode to work around the limitations of their brain, that people use Emacs for all sorts of non-coding things... I started trying to organize some links at https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsDiversity to give a sense of the breadth of different things people use Emacs for. It's totally not comprehensive, but I hope you can add more resources as you come across them.

One of the most fun ways to grow Emacs' appeal outside the user/developer base is to use Emacs for your other interests and talk about how. I've seen lots of posts related to Org and cooking, exercising, and so on. I had fun using Emacs Lisp to help me figure out a quilt pattern.

As for making it easier for other people to get into Emacs, some people find it effective to make a customized interface for the workflows people need, especially if they can tweak it to fit people's preferences.

Gotta run (kiddo's woken up), but hope that helps!
The only cases that I can think of are me doing something stupid, like posting my password somewhere public by mistake (e.g. using KeePass password auto-typing on comment field instead of password field, or pasting it in a wrong place if I am copy-pasting), or a phishing attack where I foolishly insist on copy-pasting my password when it doesn't auto-type. But even in those cases, 2FA would indeed be of very limited help since:

1) In the first case, chances are that I would realize this immediately and change my password, which I would have time to do as there is no actual attacker yet; only future opportunistic attackers. 2FA would be useful only if I not only pasted my password and 2FA code, but then not even realized it. Then 2FA might help since by the time anybody notices this, the 2FA code would be invalid.

2) In the second case, if the phishing attack is not real-time (i.e. attackers are just recording my credentials instead of immediately logging in in my place), 2FA would help since the 2FA they stored would be invalid when they tried using it. 2FA is less helpful in a real-time phishing attack; though having 2FA might still help since changing my login credentials would presumably require another 2FA code so at least they can't lock me out (unless they can convince me that I need to enter another 2FA code, which I guess is possible if I was absent-minded enough to fall for it in the first place).

In any case, I don't worry much about these scenarios and I agree with you about 2FA, that's why I don't usually bother with it except in cases where websites freak out because I keep logging in from foreign IPs with no cookies. Then 2FA is useful because it makes the website trust my login, at no additional inconvenience to me as KeePass auto-types 2FA code just like my password, so I don't mind enabling it when I can.
Good. We have got to band together against authoritarianism.
See also the World Wide Graph <https://graph.global> by Mek from OpenLibrary/archive.org. It's more informal than Wikidata and has looser requirements. (Pretty sure Mek wants it to embody something closer to the original "sum of all human knowledge" spirit that was bandied about in relation to Wikipedia in its early days. Heed the privacy implications of this, however! <https://graph.5apps.com/LP/streamline/?id=660>)

I ran into the bugs in the default web-based client available from the graph.global homepage, though, and I'm not especially fond of the opinionated choices it makes about overriding browser-native behavior for dealing with navigation.

I made an attempt back in November at beginning to implement an alternative frontend for it. I have an "instance" (if you can call it that) running at <https://graph.5apps.com/LP/streamline/>, but right now you can only use it for read-only access to w2g. I will eventually fix this to allow graph changes, too, because my original motivation also included how cumbersome I noticed it was when entering new triples and linking together existing entities. I haven't worked out the right interaction for that yet. See this recent note <https://hypothes.is/a/RdwnFLRlEeu1mD-tdfIKCQ> about adding a command-line interface to w2g.

Granted, it has similar whitespace problems as your criticism of Wikidata. An even more streamlined version that is tailored to be accessed from the terminal is, I think, more in line with what you'd probably like to see.
As a followup - I've seen illegal immigrants in the U.S. create million dollar legal businesses without connections, unable to speak English, in fear of constant de-portation, and tons of hard work. [as singular examples]

So I'm pretty sure anyone can create a business - that also EMPLOYS the people who need to pay their bills yet do not want to take the huge risks in founding a business.

Both the Brier score and log loss are proper scoring rules (i.e. optimized when the predicted probabilities are the true outcome probabilities), and the choice between the two seems to have minimal impact on the conclusions that can be drawn (https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1287/deca.2013.028...). I covered the Brier score in the post as I thought it would be easier to digest for a general audience.

As Frank Harrell wrote on his blog (https://www.fharrell.com/post/class-damage/), one advantage of the Brier score could be its interpretability and the ability to break it decompose it into discrimination and calibration components.
You could argue that what's exploited is the fact that there is a country with a minimum wage of $8, and another with a median of $1.50 in your example. So if you're Tim Ferriss raised in the first country it works, but in the second it doesn't (if you don't find an even cheaper country).

The luck/unequality is in that what's not much money for you, is a lot of money for some-one else.

I think it's important to put this book into a few contexts:

- It was published in 2007. I think if you picked up the book around that time it was extremely prescient in many ways. If you hopped on the "sell anything online" and "outsource most online labor" bandwagon in 2007/2008 I think you had a very good shot of coming out with a good business. At least, this is what I have seen with acquaintances who bought the hype back then.

- It was written by an ambitious 20-something with a lot of dreams, idealism, and smarts but not much "real world" experience. Many of us were ambitious 20-somethings who thought we had the answers to the new world at one point in our lives. Reading it from this perspective paints the ideas in the book with that wonderful energy-of-youth instead of cringe internet-guru vibes.

It is a young-persons book written for a very specific point in time. I do not expect it to age well but I also don't criticize it nearly as much as some people who tend to really hate on it.

To me semiweekly sounds like “somewhat” weekly (the same interpretation as in “semiconscious”). With that reading, semiweekly would mean it’s basically weekly but not quite. Maybe it’s not every week, there could be some exceptions.

I like there rationale of using this prefix though. In the same vein, perhaps hemiweekly? Like in hemisphere. Same logic applied but the hemi- prefix is less overloaded.
Google declared 440m revenues in France in 2018. So that's 50% of its official yearly income.

Of course, this was a fiction, that was attacked in court, Google settled this one for 1 billion in 2019.

The principle of the fines in France is that the first one is a warning, that serves to clarify rules that may not have seem obvious at first, but non compliance a second time can cost a lot.
Torvalds had trouble installing Debian, IIRC. Your wordpress scenario sounds more like basic IT / sysadmin stuff, which he likely never does himself.

Chicken Soup for the SLO
> I think there are quite a few important points in the article about the way in which our (I'm generalizing about the broad HN demographic) quite privileged lifestyles do have a concomitant cost for somebody who needs to service our day-to-day needs and wants.

That's true, and I've thought about it a lot. But it's odd that the author writes about this and yet can't see how they (and most people in developed countries) are part of the privileged consumer class as well. The author includes themselves as a member of the normal working masses that provide for 4 hour week workers:

> Their authors are so far removed from the reality of normal people, they don’t even see us anymore.

But the author isn't harvesting bananas or sewing clothes in a factory, they are a writer and editor. This isn't to say they don't suffer. Or, for that matter, that people who work 4 hours a week don't suffer. But if we're simply looking at who consumes more than they produce, then the net would be much wider than what they're casting and include many of the people they're advocating for (such as people in the west who work in restaurants or coffee shops).
Notepad++ author is using his software to push his political agenda. Although I dislike it, that's his right. If you dislike it too, there are less politicized alternatives, like PSPad.

Just look at his blog https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/ lots of anti-mainland China comments as well as references to "Gilets Jaunes" (a protest movement in France), reaction to Islamic terrorism,... At some point he told that people who voted Front National (French far-right party) couldn't use the software.

EDIT: Just noticed that PSPad is not open source. Well, you can always use VSCode, or one of the scintilla based editors.

One hour breaks are always welcome, but one hour tasks that require watching someone go out of their way to bore you is the furthest thing from a break.

Maybe consider other browsers now. Yes speed is great and all and as much as I hate the idea of supporting the little guy just because he is a little guy; this is the web at stake. And most of us make our living on the web.

It is in my opinion that the gatekeeper of the web (browser) should not also be the one taxing web traffic (via ads).

Personally, I am on Microsoft Edge because it was low-effort coming from Chrome. But I have learnt that Microsoft Edge is as bad as Google Chrome (for me) because they are mirroring Google Chrome with regards to Manifest V3. I had thought the only other guy that will stand up to Google is Microsoft but hey, what do I know.

Anyways, it seems like Firefox is the last non-chromium browser that has the balls to keep uBlock Origin supported as it is. I'll be moving to Firefox as soon as I port my personal productivity extensions over.

The most profitable games are always a rich kid's game first and foremost, because power begets power. This doesn't mean that you don't get a shot at doing what you want. Yes, your odds as a "nobody" are lower. But that's why being somebody, or having privilege, is so desired.

You're looking at this from a startup perspective I presume. You're ignoring the many plumbers, electricians, corner shop owners and other small business owners. Very few of these people were rich before starting their businesses. In the online world you can do similar things through e-commerce, small SaaS businesses etc. You can work on these in your spare time until they start to generate income + they have little to no startup costs.

Yeah, there's a lot of irony to marketing, especially in this space. 'Authentic' products don't need marketing, leaders in a space will seek them out and stock them of their own accord.
