My guess is that the second article is too similar to the first one. (It's not the same case, it's about a similar problem you had with Amazon, but it's similar.)

It's strange it's [dead]. I'd expect it to had a manual penalty to avoid repetition, but I don't expect it to be [dead].

> However, an HN moderator did not like the article, so he shadow banned me.

Did they shadowban your account? Or your website? Or only killed the post? Do you see the post as [dead]?

Looking at your submissions and comments history, the last post are all about your sites. There is no hard rule against that here, but it may trigger some of the automated antispam or an error by a moderator.

Have you asked by mail about that case?
Aren't permanent magnetics a direct result of oriented spins? (So due to quantum effects?)
Yes, just as "sharks with frikin lasers" are much more powerful.

But seriously, no. It is cult cargo thinking" to believe that merely juxtaposing two things will lead to something "more powerful. OTOH it is often the first step toward a new and useful idea. So all the magic is in the "how" of combining things.
> What is not speculation is that they restricted the buying of stocks while not restricting the selling. The rest, though it may be speculation, has enough circumstantial evidence to allow most regular folks to make up their mind.

Right, because sell orders would lower the clearinghouse margin requirements. If there are $100M GME buys on RH with 2 days to clear and $100M GME sells with 2 days to clear, their clearinghouse margin requirement is $0.
This is not true [1], it's a line from the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding which doesn't even mention the etymology of "winter": "Ah, of course! Kimono is come from the Greek word cheimonas which is mean winter. So what do you wear in the wintertime to stay warm? A robe."

Silicon Valley’s ‘Mission Protocol’ Revolution Beginning to Attain Critical Mass
I think the term 'coddling ' is not the best. I grew up during the 90's in a hyper-controled environment by a macho dad and a passive mom. I was told to not become an artist, to not travel when I am young (waste of time), to learn how to drive a car, to get a job, get a degree, all that jazz. The thing is, at 32, I still have no sense of purpose in life.

When all the goals are chosen for you, it does not matter if you were over-protected or not. You cannot build true self esteem and confidence if you don't succeed and/or fail at a dream of your choice. There is no point learning to drive a car if you do not know where you want to go, to earn money if you don't know what you want to buy, and to get into a career if you have no sense of purpose.

Videogames are addictive not only because they are fun, they provide you with a goal and 'achievements'. In my humble opinion, sex for the sake of sex (real or porn), promotions for the sake of promotions or else are all caused by the same emotional male problem ; the inability to feel emotions and learn from them what is truly important for yourself. The % of young men in the labour force is just a symptom of that.
Hacker News is already a powder keg when it comes to any subject related to race or progressive ideology.

Usually the guideline is not to change the original title but with subjects like this it's best to tempt fate as little as possible.
So it would make sense that Ball and Apple would need to find out who the seller was, from Amazon. Amazon at least knows where to send the checks, and likely a lot more about these businesses.

What bothers me about Amazon is that they are actively providing anonymity to enterprises engaged in consumer-hostile activities including fraud, and are resisting efforts to pierce the shield they are providing.
>The federal government will destabilize the economy the nanosecond it sees big tech as a bigger threat to its power than economic instability.

Given that tech companies obey court orders, subpoenas, and the letter of the law, I don't think that slippery slope is currently a problem.
Also if it interferes with your health, and a few other things. If playing video games takes precedence over, say, taking regular showers, or even basic exercise? I'd call that a mental illness too.

But I agree with the main point: “person wants to live in a way I don't like” is not mental illness.
the continued annoying arrogance of these crypto people, claiming things are just 'web3' all of a sudden because they've built some crazy thing that seems to be outside the mainstream.... but then posting stupid twitter threads (seriously, use a fucking blog post) claiming they've solved identity, while ignoring all the world SSO and SSI people have been doing/real work/tackling issues and dealing with how real world people actually deal with (successfully/not so successfully) with these things and the way users ended up with today password managers/email still the internet's killer app/ID thing.

sigh.
I think you might be the odd one out here. I don't have stats for it, but looking at myself and people around me, most didn't really know what they want to do for a career after school. School typically doesn't really prepare you well for figuring out what you want to do, especially secondary and prior.
If I drink a coca-cola and it turns out it had rat poison in it, I'd likely blame coke, and not the grocery store, even though I have no direct business relationship with coke.
From the NYT:

Working sons of working fathers are, on average, 2.7 times as likely as the rest of the population to have the same job but only two times as likely to have the same job as their working mothers, according to an analysis by The New York Times, one of the first to look at mothers and daughters in addition to fathers and sons. Daughters are 1.8 times as likely to have the same job as their mothers and 1.7 times as likely to have the same job as their
fathers. [0]

From the General Social Survey[1]:

If your father was a legislator, you are 354 times more likely to be drawn to that career, too. Kids whose father was a doctor are 23 times more likely to follow in his footsteps. If your father was a lawyer, you’re 17 times more likely to become one, as well.

Jobs in the trades figure into these statistics, as well.

- The sons and daughters of plumbers are 14 times more likely to pursue a job in this field.

- The sons and daughters of electricians are nine times more likely to pursue a job in this field.

- The sons and daughters of carpenters are five times more likely to pursue a job in this field.

And, maybe it’s all that brushing and flossing – but the sons and daughters of dentists are 13 times more likely to become one, too.

Depression also manifests with addictions though through self medication like alcohol, drugs, and even video games. It gets trickier with comorbidities like ADHD where one has addictive tendencies resulting in what appears to be simple lack of motivation and laziness at a surface level.

Is lisp more powerful than JS? Not really; you can write lisp in JS. But that's a correct answer to a wrong question. Lisp is fun, but IMO it's wrapped in undeserved mythology. Maybe I'm just jaded, but if you move parens one word to the right and sprinkle commas between tokens, it's downright readable to a c programmer. That said, homoiconicity is powerful and spreadsheet-based metaprogramming could be super cool.

What I haven't seen is a maturation of spreadsheet-based programming. Code and data are mingled in cells, and excel (and clones I've used) hide the code and display the data in an opinionated manner. That's a huge UI problem, IMO. But, mingling code and data can be very fun! Perhaps lisp could be cool for that, but I'd actually prefer a concatenative array language to really take advantage of the spreadsheet UI. So, go read up on Forth and APL, and bake their unholy offspring into a spreadsheet. Nothing bad can come of this.
Maybe content that has a reasonable revenue stream supporting it is just better.
I think "is it a cause or a symptom?" is a valid question and deserves serious thought. Upvoted.

I worried about my own son playing video games incessantly through his teens and twenties, but now at 28 he has been holding down a stable job for a year and I have got good reports from his employer. He's still a loner IRL though.

Would I worry so much if he were a gym rat or ultramarathoner-- an "exercise addict"? Good question.
Yes! That was the spark for the name. It's who you call out to when you know Google will be too muck work or hard to find the answer.

Down the track, the @lazywebai twitter account will have a bot that will answer "Dear LazyWeb" questions or when people tweet to it. That should be a really interesting NLP experiment :)
It doesn't say where the cross over it, we can assume that -some- are living and home and don't participate at all, but that's not how the stats are calculated. They are calculated separately, but the article is saying there is a connection (duh) but it's not the only factor for people living at home.
I use pgbouncer and had no idea it supported logical replication. I cant find anything about it in the docs. Do you have something you can link me to to read more?
I've never heard that one before, but it would be pretty clever. I think most people just use it wrong.
The sole "and" combined with the bill's use of "digital electronic product" outside of section four makes it fairly clear that it's only discussing medical devices. "You have the right to repair digital electronic product's except digital electronic products" doesn't make much sense.
Some key uotes:

"The Web — a thing made by one creature to catch and kill another, a tangled structure of interconnections — is no longer an image that serves us well."

"Mosaic [..] should have become the name for the entire experience. '

"Like a mosaic, the digital world is better as a system of next-tos — of juxtapositions — not of overs, unders, nested hierarchies, paywalls, and algorithmic blind-spots. It is a surprising, living whole made by all of us all of the time"

Technological advancement and human overpopulation are orthogonal concepts. It’s perfectly reasonable to believe the planet is heavily overpopulated with humans and also that technological advancement is desireable.

There is very much not a direct relationship between absolute number of humans, and technological advancement. This is increasingly true as we inch closer to AGI.

Love his youtube videos, but I wonder how can someone engage in answering so many hateful comments and such.

To think that by the size of his channel he would put someone in charge of this. Perhaps the "guys, gals and non-binary pals, I'll see you next time" came from someone telling he was not inclusive enough when saying goodbye?
I think the point is you actually have to do stuff (often menial collect n of thing tasks) to advance the plot. once the suspension of disbelief is broken, you are no longer a valiant hero saving the kingdom. you are pushing buttons to complete arbitrary tasks that trigger the next cutscene. if you don't enjoy the core gameplay, why not just cut out the tedium and watch tv or a movie?
My 45 year old sister is that way now and to a lesser extent my older brother was too. I lost _decades_ of sleep over their situation.

Ultimately I didn't know anything when I left home at 18 and I figured it out. Other people can too. How long does it take to learn how to drive, open a checking account, cook, pay bill, etc. after all ? You can learn these things privately over the Internet so there's no longer a social stigma holding you back. To digress, I eventually taught my older brother responsibility, job skills (he worked at my business), how to file taxes, basic math, etc. He became even more bitter and resentful and then one day broke down and admitted how painful it is to know nothing useful and most of what he does know he had to learn from his little brother. But eventually he started just Googling instead of calling me when he had a question he should know the answer to.

I truly feel sorry for these lost souls and if I hadn't been naturally good at math, I'd likely be one of them.
Oh please. There's nothing wrong with the way female teachers teach.
I think the point is that everyone should have such an opportunity without having to be independently wealthy in the first place.

What made them "man-children"?
The real problem is that the Fed isn't powerful enough. It can only set the interest rate and it can't even set it below 0%, it cannot decide how to distribute the money. The only one who can do that is the US government. Republicans hate distributing money fairly because it goes against neoliberalism and people vote for republicans because they believe in austerity at all costs (unless its tax cuts that benefit them personally) and making sure there is a poor group of people at the bottom to provide cheap services.

As someone who has chronic anxiety and depression, for me it goes both ways. I do it as a coping mechanism, but doing it too much also worsens it. When I do things like go outside or make an effort to see people it goes down.

Completely agree calling someone a man-child does not help. We would condemn that kind of language said about woman.
The reason is that it is illegal to use the FBI logo unless authorized to do so.
Went to post the same thing but HN had a little downtime burp.

Would only add that the main reason people buy these licenses, apart from familiarity, is so they can shift the blame if something goes wrong. Its all about ass covering.
This has been the model traditionally but retailers have been shifting to renting shelf/floor space to wholesalers and manufacturers. You may see certain fully-branded end caps in grocery stores, or kiosks in Best Buy, for example.

It's still not the same as signing up to creating your own store on Amazon though.

“In 1940, the acceptance rate at Harvard was 85 percent.”

I didn’t realize that was the acceptance rate, but JFK’s application to Harvard is interesting and that acceptance rate adds context: https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2013/11/jfks-v...

And maybe it’s not people pulling the ladder up behind them - it’s that the ladder has become more visible and desirable without expanding or changing.

I do have some hope with Coursera and EdX. There are now blended programs starting online that allow students to start remote and show they can do the coursework, before completing the rest on campus: https://scm.mit.edu/program/blended-masters-degree-supply-ch...

I’d argue the knowledge is becoming more open and freely available, but the network is not. Maybe the value of the network would drop if it was less personal and more people were there. There is some optimal program size and it’s possible some programs could hold more. At the same time, do we really need more Cal tech grads? Not a slam at Cal tech (I chose the smallest), but how many people with those skill sets do we need vs. graduates from other less specialized schools.

There is something special about Cal Tech’s community, and I don’t know I would want to dilute it just because other people should have the ability to go there to meet some arbitrary “fairness metric”.

The value these institutions have brought, and bring, to the country by making us the top in the world in a number of fields comes from how selective they are and their massive resources they can put toward problems. This makes them attractive to the world’s top talent and gives them the freedom to work on some things without economic constraints, and that’s a societal benefit. Pulling money away because they’ve managed it well could hurt us long term. And it’s not like the Harvard endowment of $40B is just sitting there - it is invested into the economy like other funds until it is needed for investment in the community.

Lastly - just because you didn’t go to one of those institutions doesn’t mean you can’t be successful or attend one for grad school. And I’ve found grad school admissions to be meritocratic.
The pay is probably higher where you are, and in smaller markets (OP) people that are from your market are moving in driving up prices so that natives can't afford anything. That is my current situation as well, in the Nashville market. Homes that were only $300K a few years ago have shot up to $600-700K in just 3 years. A 2 bedroom condo 10 years ago that was $200K is now closer to a million.

"An advanced object-oriented spreadsheet package for the Smalltalk-80 system

Asp™ is an analytic spreadsheet package that provides access to the full power of the Smalltalk-80™ programming environment. Developed by Xerox Special Information Systems (XSIS) as part of The Analyst™ Workstation System, ASP is now available as a separate package for the Smalltalk-80 environment.

Unlike other spreadsheet packages, ASP is designed for the analysis of more than just numbers and labels. Vectors, points, collections of data, text, charts, files, and images are just a few types of objects that ASP can manipulate and display.

While ASP provides a large array of predefined functions, it is also extensible. By adding new methods to the Smalltalk-80 environment, ASP can be instantly expanded to match user needs, without requiring extensive knowledge of either ASP or the Smalltalk-80 system."

Being large is not illegal. Having a monopoly in a specific product is not illegal. The standard by which the antitrust officials judge companies is whether the company controls a sufficient part of the market such that the consumer is harmed. The problem with the current regulations with respect to Google/Facebook is that their products are "free" to the "consumer," and free can't be harmful (harm is higher prices). The state attorney generals complaint against Google tries to recast the "consumer" as advertisers. The reason Apple and Amazon get a pass is that within their "markets" they are still relatively small. For Apple, their market would be all cell phones (or in the Epic case the Apple lawyers define the market as all game platforms). Since they don't have a majority of these markets and consumers are free to switch within the market they can't be forced to change behavior. "iPhone" is not a market by antitrust definition. Amazon places itself in the total retail market where they are still less that 10%. As the law is currently written and interpreted most of what big tech does is not a violation of antitrust laws -- the laws do need to be changed for everyone.
I chuckle whether i hear that supposedly agencies don't use 0days, especially when we've already had the vault leak to look at.Often times they're the ones putting them out there, researching and exploiting these vulnerabilities.

The impressive thing is that they cover almost every device that can be bought.

> Why couldn't we fragment and distribute one set of those keys among multiple legal entities?

There would be thousands if not millions of legitimate decryptions every year. At each instance all of the fragments will need to be put together, creating an opportunity for the data to be exfiltrated.

Additionally your making the assumption that legal agencies will be able to securely store these keys long term (I.e forever). Regardless of your view on the operational and security competency of these agencies, it’s extreme difficulty to keep cryptographic keys secure long term if you need to be able to access them on a regular basis.

Even if you don’t think most criminal organisations will manage this, you can pretty much guarantee that large nation state actors like China and Russia will find a way to get hold of these keys. You then give your largest competitors the ability to seriously damage your economy or steal secrets by either using the keys themselves, or leaking them on the internet. Suddenly every single message sent by every citizen, politician, bank, weapons company etc becomes public for all to see.

> This is true, but defaults matter. If the US makes a law regarding encryption, Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, etc are all going to follow it. You still might be able to roll your own encryption

You will 100% be able to roll your own, and trivially too. You’ll just need to go to GitHub and grab the source code, or pre-built binaries for a working crypto system, of which there are many. Banning the big companies from using crypto isn’t enough, you also need to ban anyone from talking about crypto as well.

This is very different to money laundering rules. Realistically you can’t opt out of the modern financial system, regardless of what blockchain proponents say, so introducing rules to gatekeep money flows at system choke points makes sense. Also one ability to censor money at choke points doesn’t also create an opportunity for enemies to exploit those same choke points.

The money laundering equivalent of crypto censorship would be like the US deciding that it was going to switch to Bitcoin so that all transactions are public and accessible to law enforcement. Then just kinda hoping that a country like China isn’t going to launch a 51% attack.

Tell that to the vast majority of humans throughout history who not only did 1 thing their whole life, but did the same thing their parents did before them. In some cultures to this day, trying to do anything other than what your family has already established as the family business is viewed as disrespectful and an insult to your lineage.
