I've looked at blockchain based domains. There's also ENS (.eth) and HNS (namebase.io). The biggest problem with them is they're a huge pain to purchase. You need to buy their vBucks style coins first (ETH or HNS) and many western governments treat those like a security. That makes it tough for someone like me who wants to buy legit, brandable domains in those systems.

So the only people left are the ones mining coins and skirting KYC/AML laws and I think that leads to a scenario where they'll gain a reputation of being a "nefarious" technology even though there's _some_ merit in the idea.

DNS based censorship by western countries is a risky game IMO. That makes the system vulnerable to a developing country coming in, setting up alternate DNS roots, and refusing to filter / censor for copyright infringement. It won't take much for western users to learn they need to use a foreign search engine to find things the western countries want censored.

China's citizens will be using US search engines and US citizens will be using Chinese search engines. Lol.
It's OK, 2022 will be the year of the Linux desktop
Are you a German resident or otherwise subject to their jurisdiction? What would happen if you just ignored the lawsuit, and/or ignored the final judgment?
I can see why one would be concerned about a heavily centralized DNS, but what I've experienced in the real world is that today's DNS gives me infinitely more options than I had back when I started on the Internet.

Back in the day, you were often limited to one or two widely known public servers (MCI's for example) or your ISPs. Today I have tons of providers of public DNS, all with different advantages and tradeoffs, including paid features and support. This alone is radically better than the choices we had ~20 years ago.

Add to that the fact that I can run my own caching resolver without reading a 642 page paper bound book (see pihole vs a dog-eared copy of DNS and BIND by Liu and and Albitz), and we're far from the dystopian nightmare you seem to be referring to.
They could to some degree if they also publicly disclosed investments in decentralized incubators/funds (if they made them).
> Netflix and Amazon clearly have first mover advantage. As does Apple with the iPhone, Google with Maps…

The Hiptop/Sidekick and Palm Pilots were already popular long before the iPhone came out. They just weren't nearly as good and the companies couldn't overcome the carriers' poor business plans.
I thought Gravity's Rainbow got more confusing as time went on, if you just flow through it yeah its not too bad. But to fully understand the 100s of characters disappearing, reappearing with new names, etc. I definitely found myself consulting notes in the later pages to remember what role someone had played 400 pages earlier. The earlier chapters you can just absorb with no thought for how it contributes to the whole, by the end it is a lot of threads to try and keep in order.
I would think that if you want DNS-over-HTTPS (or DNS-over-TLS) then it should be implemented as the system DNS, so tat it can be used with programs other than the web browser too. And, if you do not want DNS-over-HTTPS, then you can disable it in the system DNS.

welcome to HN
What's frustrating about the Mac is that every time they screw up bad enough that I try to switch back to other options (I was a Windows and Linux, among other things, user for 15 years before I started using Mac) I find they're still so much worse that I'd just be cutting off my nose to spite my face, by switching.

I wish they had actual competition. It doesn't seem like anyone else is targeting the same market at all, despite technically having "competing products".
I did? Both on the store page and in my email replies. Most people were understanding though some weren't.

However, those dollars you seem anxious I don't give up still didn't really cover the time investment of dealing with Linux - not just the support requests, but getting the build environment setup and performing the testing and all of that.

For reference, the game in question did ~75% of units sold on Windows, ~25% on Mac, and some fraction of a percent on Linux. If I hadn't of released on Ubuntu I would have probably lost less $1000, gross.
I was going to ask, didn't they get sued in the 90's for something similar?
It feels like my point is being proved to me....
This is awfully reductive of "government." State unemployment offices are shit because no one cares. There are plenty of military and IC data processing web applications that scale just as big and just as reliably as Facebook and Google. It's a matter of priorities. There is nothing inherent about public funding that dooms you to a poor implementation.
There used to be a local scrap metal yard in Houston that advertised on TV: "We pay in two-dollar bills!" (Translation: We pay cash, which means you can't be traced.) I haven't seen that ad lately, thought.

I sense a lot of bitterness from this post. I don't think you have a full context on history of 409a valuations industry.

Considering the fact that 409a valuations pre carta would cost $10k, $2k doesnt sound like a such an unfair deal. You could always go the legacy lawyer companies route and pay way more for a single 409a valuation.

As for onboarding process - you do need a hell of a lot information to conclude said valuation.
I did this when Vista came out. I said fuck it and installed Ubuntu, I had enough of Microsoft bullshit. Then Ubuntu upgraded and moved all window icons to the left side and rearranged them awkwardly. On the next update, they upgraded the sound subsystem and I was without sound until I bought my next PC. Another update came and computer went to sleep when watching movies, so I had to move the mouse every minute to fix it.
I said fuck it and installed Windows 7.
There's no escape.
Okay, so.

1 and 3 require profiles to be installed (or, as with the case of testflight, have a limited blast radius), they are high friction and non-technical users are not likely to go through with them. Any party bypassing Apple on a large scale would see their signing cert revoked. Apple doesn't generally do that because enterprise certs that have been stolen would also disable business processes for weeks for that customer, but they still have the right to pull them. And I seem to recall that Facebook had their enterprise cert revoked indefinitely.

2 is, yet again, a policy issue. One that iOS 14 actually partially solved. The issue I have with (easily enabled) sideloading specifically is that some very desirable apps want to bypass the App Store to either circumvent the IAP tax (I'd say that's legitimate) or policies designed to prevent #2 from happening. Fortnite being the obvious example, since they already pulled out of Google Play. Facebook is a weird example to bring up, considering they've been in crisis mode ever since iOS 14 took away most of their tracking data.

The issue is that Apple uses some of the side effects of their strict curation for their own benefit (once again IAP, but also special entitlements for their own ecosystem, e.g. how their HomePod third party API surface is very barebone and will never work properly with Spotify Connect). I'd be very happy if some better rules were put in place as a result of Apple v. Epic, but I don't think the model is broken to begin with.
Ironically this place doesn't have DMs.
Youtube gets way too little blame for radicalizing a large chunk of angry/confused people imo. I watched a video one time that I guess was alt-right-adjacent. Youtube immediately started recommending more hardcore basically racist content intended to induce more anger - leading my right down the rabbit hole if I wanted to go. I had to train it to stop doing that.

Instagram seems to have done the same thing for a bunch of people in the wellness community - pulling them some of them down into the Q-rabbit hole.

I truly despise the algorithms and blame them for most of the problem.
That's a horrible comparison. Creating a political discussion group isn't a violent crime.
> Top 1% would be >$500k/a for a household, which is exceptionally rare for a techie

You're comparing individuals to households. You're right that not many tech workers make $500k/yr, but you're comparing that individual salary against the top 1% of household incomes.

Plenty of tech workers make $250k/yr and are married to people who make similar wages in tech/law/medicine/etc. That's not to say that most tech workers live super comfortable lives, especially in costly areas like SF/SV. But it's not appropriate to look at the salary of single workers and compare it to household income statistics.
The big argument was whether it was a true lotto ticket (say buying Bitcoin at 1 cent, where everyone accepts it's valued at 1 cent), or whether it was actually self dealing (real best-estimate value of shares was maybe $0.10 a share, and he bought in IRA for $0.001 a share). That means the true value of his IRA "contribution" becomes $170,000 instead of $1,700, which is clearly tax evasion.

Still a lotto ticket, but that first transaction becomes a lot less innocent.
Ask HN: What do you use to draw out systems/architectures before building?
Okay this isn't for everyone but what do people recommend for drawing out systems (from databases to architecture) and technical decisions before starting a project.

Currently I use pen & paper to start but this inevitably gets lost and becomes a pain to update as I change things. I'm also aware that for projects involving more than one person this isn't ideal.

JIRA/Confluence was the go-to at work with some draw.io diagrams/plugins and custom vector graphics from Inkscape/Sketch/Affinity.

What do you do and what do you recommend?
Well yes, that assumption is incorrect, but I am not making that assumption. When I said skimpy outfits I had in mind skimpy outfits worn in the context of the wearer wanting to attract attention. Maybe I should have been more precise, but I assumed that my audience would understand what I meant without me having to spell it out. Also, when I wrote my original post I had two different things in mind - intentional grabbing of attention, which is what the person I was replying to had in mind, but that post also made me think of unintentional grabbing of attention: for example, would that person be annoyed by just some random airplane passing by the beach even if it does not carry an ad? How much does intention matter? Etc.
I doubt it. What's important too is that you have to use a MS account to use teams, goodbye local windows accounts.
“Taiwan invested a hundred billion dollars into semiconductor R&D. To remain competitive and guard our national security interests, we also require investment in the same scale, from which we would profit handsomely.”
I wouldn't say precisely concentration camps for children - at least not late-war concentration camps that were focused precisely on eliminating the population. I'm not saying residential schools were good in anyway - I just don't want to minimize just how bad the nazis were... Residential schools were pretty close to the US internment camps of Japanese citizens though.
The problem would be buying the company with the roth, not the wages afterwards.

It is completely legal to own a company and pay yourself below market rate, or even not at all. In fact, it is how many small business work.

In your example, the company still has to pay corporate tax, even though it is owned by the IRA.

The only tax advantage to your consulting scheme would come at the time you sold it to someone else, or liquidated it.
I did crossfit for about 8 years and then switched to Orange Theory when my Xfit gym started to become overrun with bruhs, chads, and qanonfitters. I quit OT after the COVID, but was going to because it was become increasingly loud and hyper-cheery. Which is a bummer, because I really like working out with a group of people way more than alone, especially when we are all like: ok, we gotta finish this even if it sucks. I don't see how this can be captured digitally, but maybe I am too old (which I think is become a real thing, the digital gap as GenX starts to not understand the new relationship with tech... not saying you are young just hypothesizing...)
Parler is online again, and I don't think Gilmore was saying that the internet would prevent you from losing your job.
That's what I did, but I first had to find a free email provider that doesn't asks for a valid phone number.
This is why you should always wait a week before reacting to news stories, they usually take care of themselves.

Why do you say that people don't change their opinions based on evidence? I've seen it happen. Hell, I've done it myself. Even the people posting in favor of these sorts of topics cite "evidence", for different values of the word "evidence". White supremacists talk about "color" on "color" crime stats, flat earthers mention the horizon not appearing curved (had to look one up), climate "deniers" point to sunspot cycles, anti-vaxxers reference that one autism study, etc, etc. Obviously people do change their opinions based on evidence. They just don't necessarily look for evidence against the topic, mainly, or don't question the evidence provided. These are things they might be exposed to if the conversations weren't banned or relegated to "bubbles".

There is also the potential problem of censoring people who actually do hold a valid evidence-based opinion on a topic, it's just not one that's politically en vogue currently. Not to mention all the topics where it isn't clear what the truth is, despite a plethora of evidence for and against, and the person in charge holds a strong opinion on it.

What I'm saying, I guess, is "citation needed". Show me your evidence that people don't change their opinions based on evidence and maybe I'll change my opinion on this topic :)
I just can't understand how there can be so much argument about the position of a task bar. Why can't Windows just allow people to do what they like with it? I know plenty of people who have their taskbar vertically, surely it can't be hard to have a taskbar that can go vertically, horizontally, to the edges out centred.

I will carry on using my dual bar layout on MATE because I didn't want to change to gnome 3 or unity.
If you are buying in bulk the pricing can be a lot better than the list prices. But generally there isn't a problem buying a server without a drive, Dell will still support the server for non disk related warranty issues, you don't need special firmware or disks
If you're already on the PC the PC is usually more convenient.
If you're a competent C++ dev it might be easier to go with Unreal Engine, but Godot is a much nicer user experience than Unity (IMO) if you're looking to use C#. The price you'll pay is far far less instructional content as Godot's newer/not "enterprise" supported.
This is assuming products are priced based purely on cost rather than based off the market forces of supply and demand.

Or another way to look at this issue is if a company cut their advertising budget (as many did early in the pandemic) do they also follow through with a reduction in price? If not, why do we assume an increase in marketing budget means an increase in price?

> key length doesn't matter if the RNG is hobbled in a deniable way

An interesting thought: Consider how valuable target Apple's RNG is, the design, the code, and the devices themselves. Reduce entropy, in a way that only you know, and you have an enormous advantage.

> the whole brand image is predicated on being the best available, so you can't do an "oops, sorry" like an inferior product

It's also possibly an effective way to manage engineers: Set a strong, public standard, and they know there is no avoiding it.
You spend so much time worrying that you will sell enough copies to break even. Linux support time could be spent fixing a bug, marketing, polishing a feature. Plus, negative reviews can hurt you a lot so you can’t really support Linux half heartedly. Needs to work as well as the other versions. The average serious indie game makes $14k (edit: 16k). Steam changed their recommendation algorithms to promote aaa and top sellers
A buddy of mine with a Subway franchise is finally being prodded by corporate to upgrade his Windows 7 hardware. They still have support for Windows 7 for a little while, but not long -- it's apparently done by August 31st this year. And, their upgrade path is Windows 10 LTSC, which will expire in 2026.
Full disk encryption for one thing.
The very opposite: 99% of Internet use is to consume/download content rather than produce/upload.

Ads and heavy websites are slow and expensive to browse for half of human population due to poor connectivity.
Does one have to undergo surgery and hormonal therapy to be a trans woman?

Can one change their mind about whether they are a man or a woman whenever they want?

Which is the third party who should have the right to judge if you are a man or a woman?

Can a male self identify as a female when they wish and enter a women competition?
Now all the people have to re-dislike.
Forth yes, lisp not. Lisp was only used on ground to simulate the rover.

Also a repl in space only makes sense in earth orbit, but not farther away, with 8-20min waiting time for a packet roundtrip to Mars. Those machines really need proper and faster decision making (AI, think lots of `if` statements and proper modeling) on board, eg to perform landing or docking maneuvers. Or to detect and workaround radiation damage in its own circuits.

Ask HN: Where is the black bar for John McAfee?
RIP John McAfee (1945-2021)
It's true. Sony doesn't care about artists, any more than your boss or company cares about you.

But they are, nonetheless, the ones paying the artists. Not nearly enough, and with plenty of shenanigans, but that doesn't change the fact that every movie ends with a long, long, long list of people who got paid for working on it -- by Sony.

It's disingenuous for Sony to pretend they care about anything other than their own profits. It's just tugging at heartstrings. Few of them actually get a share of the profits. They work for a paycheck.

But they've nonetheless got a point: they hire artists, lots of 'em. Some of their profits go into making the next movie.

Arguably, that's better than caring about them. I don't particularly like facile capitalist arguments, but Adam Smith's quote about the baker really does apply here: the artists don't need Sony to care, they just need Sony to pursue its own self interest because it happens to also profit them.

You won't see me crying over Sony's lost profits, and I'd love for more people to see movies other than studio blockbusters. But I know a lot of people who make movies and they do, in fact, get their paychecks and royalty checks from Sony.
Does the CI build Windows binaries? I could not find them at https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets/actions
I hope embedding Teams will lead to antitrust like IE did. This is basically making everyone use Teams and will cut out a lot of competitors and other companies who have some form of collaboration built-in into their product.
I see now… the Microsoft store will let publishers collect payments in alternative ways.

That’s well and good, but I don’t see that as a big deal because the microsoft app store isn’t that important.

The problem with the Apple ios app store isn’t that they have a specific, restricted payments mechanism. It’s that it’s the only practical way for developers to distribute native software to iOS devices.
As a society we don't restrict fundamental civil rights such as freedom of speech for individuals or corporations just because it might cause dune vaguely defined "damage". The legal bar is higher than that, as it should be.

I found Godot + Mono/C# to be a great user experience compared to Unity.
Having a consistent UI development framework would be a good start. WPF is no longer maintained and UWP brings with it the crappy Store and limited sandboxed capabilities.
The Xbox app is terrible, performance-wise. It feels like a poorly implemented Electron app.
I think that was the poster's whole point though.

Name the people you trust at Facebook to make that same distinction you just made in your post.

Name the process you as a consumer can use to hold those at Facebook to account when they inevitably get it wrong.

Point me to the highly-transparent records of how and when Facebook employees made that decision.

Obviously none of the above exists and that is the core issue.
I am referring to a scientific article. If you think it is wrong write another one.
Given how many of these changes were already previewed (two years ago?) during the Dual Screen Surface event as "Windows 10X", I presume Marketing finally figured out that "10X" was a stupid name. "Windows 11" is a slight improvement on "10X" at least.
I think in the US most forced family separation of indigenous peoples now falls under "justified" actions by CPS. The US Dept of Interior's boarding schools were terrible and the investigation is likely going to raise a number of painful points - but CPS still ends up targeting minority families, especially native americans, with a much higher rate in the US.
I cannot put any money at all into a Roth IRA, despite making a decent but non-astounding IT salary (below the caps), because I'm an American living abroad who had the temerity to marry a foreigner and am stuck in "married, filing separately". I cannot use similar retirement plans in the country I live in, because no brokerage here wants to deal with non-rich people who are US citizens or have US income tax obligations (why I do not file jointly - at least one of us needs to be able to keep paying into a retirement account here!)

Words cannot express my contempt for Thiel, who is apparently still a citizen of the country I live in. I'm pulling for the Finanzamt, however they can swing it.
