When your app has revenues of $100M a month, let's see if you think Apple is providing you $30M worth of value.

Sure, if you have 2 sales a month, I guess Apple is providing you $0.60 of revenue. That's not what this thread is about.
Drug processing in the body can sometimes be surprising. I learned recently about first pass effect which means the drug heads first to the liver and only what passes through is available to the body. So if one ups the dose and the liver processing is saturated a double dose can deliver much more punch than two single ones. The body has many non-linear features and extrapolating several orders of magnitude is often not possible.
> This statement has some inaccuracies in it, it is true that it will literally result in more oil from other places, but, given supply and demand, it will result in less additional oil from other sources.

Given strongly inelastic demand, I would say very marginally less.

> Whenever a cheap source of a good is eliminated the average production price of that good is increased (assuming there is an exhaustible supply of that good at that price) so the removal, or even inconveniencing of access, to tar sands extract will cause an up-tick in prices overall and a likely unnoticeable dip in supply.

I think we're saying the same thing?

> Additionally, as a Canadian myself, the Alberta oils sands have recently contributed strongly to an economic crisis in Calgary as extraction profitability has sharply declined. There is a lot of oil still left up there but Alberta needs to act now, while it has the funds to do so, to transition their economy. It is not a feasible long term revenue source.

Yes, they had better get serious about transitioning the economy away from oil before Calgary becomes a ghost town. People sure aren't there for the weather.

Getting it out there. If your goal is just to ensure that a well supported open source solution exists and people can use it instead of having nothing at all or only paid proprietary garbage, a permissive license makes far more sense.

If your goal is sticking it to the man and demolishing capitalism or whatever then it's different of course.

The downvotes are because they disagree with your politics.

The tough part is all your statements hold truth. We must face that if we want to find real answers.

Down voting is supposed to be used to indicate a comment has no relevance to the conversation. Conversely, each of your statements must be part of the conversation.

> The short answer is that Bitcoin works and TransferWise and PayPal don't.

The comment you link to say that you cannot get money out of Argentina (due to capital controls).

Fair enough, but in the comment I replied to, you said that you were living in Argentina, and got paid in bitcoin.

Am I to infer that you want to get your salary out of Argentina? And those who pay you are within Argentina?

Otherwise, I do not see the problem.

If you are paid by someone outside Argentina, they can deposit the money (as USD or whatever) into your PayPal or Wise account, and you can send them to whoever you want, get a debit card associated with the account, and spend/withdraw within Argentina (without needing a local bank account).

I do understand that bitcoin is a means to get money out of a country with capital controls, but normally money flows into these countries, as has been mentioned earlier, 20% of El Salvador’s BNP is remittance, i.e. people are sending money into the country.

>> Bitcoin does not solve the “cash to people without a bank account”.
> This is not correct. It does

Bitcoin itself does not solve it. But I assume that you have found people in Argentina, who are willing to pay you cash for bitcoins?

I wonder if people are willing to buy your bitcoins (with cash) because they see it as an investment, or because they need to transfer their cash out of Argentina and cannot go through the regular system (due to capital controls).
> ETH is not deflationary and it is a good candidate to be used as currency.

I'm guessing you're opposing EIP1559 then
It’s not just a question of the middle class moving away, people die which means you need more people moving in. As soon as the mix of people moving in starts to include less affluent people it eventually gets dominated by them simply because their are more people as you move down the income curve.

The transition within a city is rarely about some specific employer shutting down. The more general case is homes age and different areas become attractive over time. You can find areas where nearly identical homes where build across a wide area, yet one community falls into disrepair while another becomes desirable simply based on school zoning.

I'm salty because WebExtensions still can't do something as seemingly simple as bind global keybindings years after the transition. I actually supported the switch, but back then I was optimistic about missing features being added soon.
I don't think many people are lamenting the fact that their project is popular and being used.

Because they can just... stop maintaining it if they wanted. They are completely free to do so.

Many developers like to feel useful, feel like they are solving an important problem in a suitable way. Some even want the fame associated with it, or the doors having such (a) project(s) opens (you use X? I wrote it, and maintain it - or people hunting you specifically because you are known to have created X).

The point is, the tradeoff between the feeling of being taken advantage of and feeling useful and fulfilled because of solving an important problem in a suitable way is controlled directly by the author / developer! If they feel it is not worth the effort, they can just stop!

Having a permissive license helps you gain popularity. Many people won't touch GPL derivatives for their business / side-project-that-might-turn-into-a-business so such a license can have an inhibiting effect in adoption. Developers generally aren't stupid, they know that and they choose more permissive licenses, because they want to be seen, they want their solution to be used. They maybe want the fame and open doors associated with having such a project take off. It is a trade-off under their control. They can stop with maintenance any time. Hell they can even change the license of future versions (if they have not started with a GPL-like license) if they want. So I don't see the problem here. Everything is under the developer's control. You can't have it both ways: The boost to popularity by having a no-strings-attached license, but reaping proportional profits from such an endeavor as if you had a restrictive license protected by a business entity.

If you give money (value) away for free, you'll be pretty popular. "I want to be easily popular as if I'm giving money (value) away for free, without actually giving money (value) away for free" does not make much sense.
Must admit the specifics of doing drugs is not that interesting to me, it's more interesting to ask the question:

There's "wanting to protect the value of your home" and there's "I'm going to vote NIMBY/BANANA and screw everybody else out of a place to live because I decided to 'invest' all my money in this house and expect it to be a nest egg that catapults me out of the working class." It sounds like the parent is in the latter category.

Is the problem "losing value in my house" or "not realizing astronomical gains like my peers"? And if building much-needed housing does decrease your house's value then hey, maybe your house was overvalued at the price you paid and you made a bad 'investment'. Why punish everyone else and artificially strangle housing supply to cover your bad decision?
You can base your business model around that. Support, certificates, Trainings, etc.

Of course that is not the case for the majority of projects like curl for example.
Wow. Not sure how I missed that. Thanks.
Well, I don't think we can take all the credit. Suncor is a US company, my dad used to work there during the takeover when it was Petro Canada.

Edit: I take that back, it's always been a Canadian company. I'm thinking about something else, there was another takeover or merge with a US company back before 2000. That's before the Suncor merger.

Very heartening to see though.
I'm from Spain (but also a native French speaker) and I totally agree.

I haven't done the math, but I'd bet in the EU there are probably more English speakers than any other native language.
> Wanting a sane and stable and reliable device is doing evil?

That can be true while at the same time being true that Apple is taking advantage of their position to extort money from developers and end users.
It’s sad to see how pessimistic people here are against cryptos. Try flipping that perspective and see how this can benefit so many people in the world.
It's for sure a step backwards from regular cryptocurrency where ownership of private keys is enough to receive or spend. No servers, no "opening accounts" etc.

You can compete with Visa and other payment processors AND not have these arbitrary requirements through on-chain scaling and larger block sizes.
> One of the reasons is that the first Intel processor to support multi-tasking was 386.

Not quite. The 80286 was not a good CPU, but it could do multitasking:

https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/80286/index.html

> The second generation of x86 16-bit processors, Intel 80286, was released in 1982. The major new feature of the 80286 microprocessor was protected mode. When switched to this mode, the CPU could address up to 16 MB of operating memory (previous generation of 8086/8088 microprocessors was limited to 1 MB). In the protected mode it was possible to protect memory and other system resources from user programs - this feature was necessary for real program multitasking. There were many operating systems that utilized the 80286 protected mode: OS/2 1.x, Venix, SCO Xenix 286, and others. While this mode was useful for multitasking operating systems, it was of limited use for systems that required execution of existing x86 programs. The protected mode couldn't run multiple virtual 8086 programs, and had other limitations as well:

> 80286 was a 16-bit microprocessor. Although in protected mode the CPU could address up to 16 MB of memory, this was implemented using memory segments. Maximum size of memory segment was still 64 KB.

> There was no fast and reliable way to switch back to real mode from protected mode.

Color me shocked, this coming from a company that seeks to deplatform web applications as much as possible and box developers into an App Store that greedily takes a 30% cut.

Is there a particular reason the current HN source code isn't public? Is it security-related (people might find and exploit bugs), privacy/secrecy-related (YC-internal features that aren't publicly disclosed), or just tradition?
No, because "lingua franca" derives from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_Lingua_Franca which has nothing to do with French, apart from people who didn't understand it mistook it for "French".
That is a science fiction fantasy, not something we can plan on in any reasonable time frame.
I use SciHub a lot, and just this week have been having problems accessing it on the internet (in the UK) - I don't use Tor, but I also never even thought of it. Totally agree it would be a good idea to promote the Onion address!
Most of Canada, outside of Alberta, has long transitioned away from extraction dominant industries. There still is a whole bunch of it around - but, in BC it accounts for 5.7% of the economy and in Canada at large all natural resource extraction only accounts for 10% of the economy. The majority of Canada's economy is now service oriented.
I have worked in the airline industry with scheduling algorithms. We had a very comprehensive test suite, but reconstructing the algorithms from that would take a decade. That surely only works for toy code bases. No one saves the tests.

Hah. I regularly see patches whose review takes well over 100% the time it would have taken me to create the patch myself.

But then I'm employed by $MEGA_CORP and part of the job description is "helping to build and maintain the OSS community", so helping novices create their first patches is a big part of that.

i would guess “anything but english”, and German is more spoken in the EU than french.
This is key. It erodes trust in institutions, in this case the government itself. I personally wish it weren't permitted in the first place, but revoking the permit afterwards is the worst possible outcome.

For Airy Enterprise and Managed Cloud, we usually like to listen to a potential customer's use case first and come up with a custom pricing that makes sense for both sides, usually containing fixed licensing options, volume-based components or even location-based pricing which can make a lot of sense for multi-location enterprises, but rarely works for e-commerce companies.

I came from this in the opposite direction. I grew up programming on an iMac, but ended up switching to Linux when Macports/Homebrew started stagnating a few years ago. I was blown away by how simple and well-distributed everything was. Package management wasn't a nightmare, the shell respected administrator authority, I had fully updated coreutils, 32-bit apps/libs... the list goes on. I understand why people use MacOS, but defending it from a development standpoint has started to look asinine in recent years.
In the example given, there's no arbitrary header. "HELP" is part of the POST data, which is controlled by the application.

Agreed. Tech community in general are against Bitcon. They all see it as "scam".

I've been trying to build a house for myself. Going through all the hoops is not only cumbersome and expensive - but nearly impossible. I've run into legal tiff's between the county and nearby city. The city wants me to pay $40,000 for a sewer hookup for a single family dwelling when the sewer line is literally right along the road in front of where we will build the house. This is because the city has a beef to pick with the county and they are charging me based on the size of my parcel rather than the number of hookups I need. My house is actually in the county (but in the city impact zone). So now I'm spending my time combing through legal records, state supreme court case rulings, etc. all relevant to my situation to try to get things resolved. Literally everything is a fight. I even had to push and fight to get a build-right for the parcel - because it is currently zoned ag - which my country requires a max house density of 40 acres per house. I could rezone - but that would require me to get permission of all my neighbors to rezone so that my new residential zoning would be contiguous with existing residential zoning. I've had to fight to get permission to have an arch/rainbow driveway. Then I wanted to have an accessory dwelling, but ag zoning doesn't allow this either - never mind that this is totally allowed for all residential zoning types in the county and nearby city. And on and on. I've spent several hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars trying to jump through all these hoops - and I haven't even started building anything yet!
What is this nonsense? Yimbys are support upzoning property, so denser housing can be built. They support removing parking minimums so denser housing can be built.
I don't disagree, but it doesn't change that USD is not a digital currency.
The "lower pay" BS is hilarious. Granted FAANG companies pay absurd rates so you are fine living anywhere with a "lower pay" from them.

I wish we had a more informed perspective on oil. Yes it’s very important that we move individual and public transportation to electric now that we have the batteries to do so. Yes we need to switch energy production to renewables and zero carbon generation. Yes we need to get as much heat generation as possible for homes, commerce and industry switched to electric. All of these have in common the fact that we should not be burning oil. But, and this is a big but, we still need oil to produce a vast array of materials and compounds that our civilization depends on. Medicine and agriculture are two huge users that we cannot do without. We can’t shut down all oil production and drive the cost through the roof without destroying healthcare and creating famine. Please argue rationally, frame combustion of oil as wasteful while lionizing responsible usage that does not contribute to atmospheric CO2 and improves the human condition.

My gf has Covered California insurance and it is terrible. In particular, 1) very few doctors are in network, so she can't see the specialist she needs and 2) the customer service is a joke; when she calls she spends an hour on hold, and the reps never have any idea what's going on. Would not recommend (she is self-employed, so her options are limited).
This kind of functionality is just not reliable enough without LIDAR ala Tango, which it was originally built for. An AR utility that is 90% reliably accurate has a massive gulf of usability from one that is 99% reliably accurate. By the time I accept my camera just won't understand the dimensions of my couch or won't accept that the crown molding is attached to the wall, I could have grabbed the tape. And if I only realize my 15 foot measurement had a 3 inch margin of error after the living room set arrives I am not going to be a happy customer.

I've been pretty curious to see what's going to happen next for Android AR. Apple is investing in LIDAR on their devices, and a lot of AR devices like the RealWare headset are built on Android. But it seems like mobile phone Android AR stalled after Tango (and Tango technology wasn't actually adopted by the platform, so it really stalled before Tango).
I don’t particularly want my dollars to “hold value”.

I want currency to be useful as currency; I want my investments to hold value. The two things serve different functions, and I don't want investments compromised to be useful as currency or vice versa.

Your analogies are ridiculous to the point of being non-seqiturs. Citing things is not a "tic", it's a discipline that serious non-fiction writers employ when they want to lend support to their claims, show the provenance of their ideas, and generally situate their work in the wider world of ideas. Many SV articles, including PG's, are often full of claims that would benefit from citation for all of the above reasons.
