It seems that they do, but they don't. Plenty of information flows through emails, chat, social media, direct search on websites like Amazon. The internet is large, and Google is a very big player, but they're not controlling all the information flow on the internet, and if they really tried people would leave.
I don't doubt they did research but I don't think they were individually beneficial changes. Nielsen Norman critiqued Windows 8 UX changes and found them fundamentally lacking [1]. If this is the outcome of their internal research, maybe they need better research.

Well for one the youtube app has access to secret forbidden content that the website doesn't. And the podcast app I paid for has a free phone version and a subscription non-phone version. For both of these, when I'm at my desktop, I want to use them on my desktop.
I've seen how bad people are at skimming things they read online though even when the facts are laying there in front of them, and I could easily see someone (hiring manager, dating app they matched with) just googling their name, seeing the same pic match, and instantly running for the hills.

Ask HN: Best startup bars/meet ups in NYC?
I'm heading to NYC next week and am looking to meet other entrepreneurs and people in the startup world. I was wondering if there are any known startup areas or bars that would be good to visit to connect with others?
1. Thiel was not Mega rich, but he had money, he had worked as a lawer for a few years and managed his own venture capital firm. Either way, this is irrelevant as he met the income requirements to contribute to an IRA.

2. It very well may have been illegal, as mentioned in the top level post. The purchase price was the legal value, but using an IRA as a vehicle to invest in your own company appears be prohibited by IRA regulations. At the time, it was a purchase <$2000, and may not have been reviewed. If paypal was someone else's company, there would be no legal issue.

> mostly white males

What is this supposed to imply, exactly?
Orphans are children and wards of the state. They are not laboring (I hope). The government could print fiat money and give it to them, and their wealth would still grow with inflation. With deflation, their 0 dollars do not increase, and it is impossible for them to find jobs when the grow up.

The modern monetary system, which is inflationary, is obviously biased towards wealth holders. This does not imply that a deflationary system would better help the poor and downtrodden. Deflation imparts wealth directly to holders of the currency, directly proportional to the quantity of currency held. Money velocity goes towards 0 as the idle rich lose all incentive to do anything but hold it and watch their purchasing power increase relative to everyone less rich.

Ask HN: Is being on multiple teams manageable?
I am working on three scrum teams at the moment in a lead role. That means I have calendar events for 3 daily stand-ups per day and each team has planning sessions, retros and other scrum ceremonies. I've been doing this for the last few months.

After SCRUM ceremonies, time allocated for ad-hoc meetings, time set aside for some other ad hoc stuff, I only have a couple of hours per team per week.

This is madness right? I've tried to bring it up with my manager and tell her that it isn't working. I have brought up the fact that context switching destroys any productivity and that I feel that I am accomplishing nothing other than attending meetings. I have brought up that I can't properly support the engineers on the team and that I can really only give them moral support and act as a sounding board for some issues they may face.

The advice given to me was to make a mini plan for my own time and to define the role I am in myself. This confuses me because it doesn't actually solve my issue that my time is spread too thin.

I was told I could choose to attend stand-ups where I had proper updates but as soon as I tried that I had a scrum master asking if I can resume going to the meetings. There's also an expectation that I know what the teams are doing.. so going to the stand-ups make sense in that regard (especially when WFH).

I can sense one team feeling let down by me and the fact that I can't spend any time working with them. Issues come up that should have been addressed in the past but there is no time to address them.

My real main issue is that time just flies by and I am learning nothing and accomplishing nothing. I am looking for feedback to understand if this is normal in a senior(-ish) role. Am I not thinking about it correctly? Or is this a bad way to work?
I believe that the parent is implying that Thiel doesn't trust the government to use his money prudently, not that the government is liable to cheat him out of a contract.

That's not really a double standard any more than taking a paycheck from google while using duckduckgo on your PC at home is a double standard.
They offer a service that includes their supervision... The diet itself isn't proprietary, and given their results I don't mind they charge a decent amount. But, again, the diet is basically: get almost all of your calories from animal fat (four-legged animals, because of the particular fatty acid profile), eat enough protein but not in excess, and eat organ meats (liver, brain, etc.) once a week.

I don't know how you make your judgments but if you look at any intervention by Zsófia Clemens she will strike you as an obviously decent person, these people are not charlatans.

Also, this animal-based ketogenic approach is not unique to them, the "zerocarb" / "carnivore" community is also full of testimonials of people reversing various conditions, especially autoimmune disease. This high-fat approach tends to attract people who are in more difficult / urgent situations, such as late-stage, inoperable cancers.

At work (government) we all attend aboriginal awareness training, where residential schools are a big subject. It is an acknowledged part of Canadian history. Those who are shocked now are only so because they chose to remain ignorant year after year.
The Amazon Appstore is awful, and due to issues between them and Google it is likely that you won't be able to install any Google Play Apps, like YouTube or Gmail. There are so many apps that pretend to actually be the official apps too and Amazon seems to not really flag anything from what I can tell.

I really hope there will still be a way to sideload the Google Play Store. It is one of the first things I do on Amazon devices.

Well thats it. Tesla won the electric car race. What other car company is going to bother sinking money into an electrical charging network when they can use someone elses? Tesla will keep it cheap for other car companies for now. Then when most are dependent on it. They will start cranking up fees on non-Tesla vehicles. Tesla will have the lead for decades before anything is done about it.
The post-Simple BBVA USA banking experience
You should be very careful. There is another way to do this, it's called a backdoor Roth. Despite the sketchy name, it's perfectly legal and used in practice by millions of people. A simple way is to contribute $6,000 of post-tax money into a traditional Roth, then submit what is called a Roth conversion to convert the $6,000 into a Roth IRA account. Do this through the proper channels so all the documentation is there.

This is not financial advice.

My favorite way to read Finnegan's Wake is to get some friends and perhaps some drinks, have everyone pick a random spot from the book and read it out loud.

The book is a circle so it doesn't really have a proper beginning, and the way the narratives are intermeshed to the point that they are incomprehensible means that the narrative is secondary, so concepts such as beginning and middle don't really matter anyway.

It is the language and wordplay of the book that is the enjoyable part. If you sit there by yourself and read it silently, it's mostly a boring academic exercise. When you read it out loud the playfulness and humor of the book comes through. There is one part that is written such that if you read it aloud you sound like a drunken irishman, and one part which is simultaneously a description of a pantry (or perhaps a grocery) and an erotic scene. The main thing I think people miss about the book is how funny it is!
I wonder if there are good VC firms that would let people participate in funds around the $1000 threshold? Like if I could give Garry Tan $1000 to just participate, no questions or interaction required just fill out the forms sign the check, see you in 10yrs... I know part of the issue is that many VCs have a high touch process for the people signing $100k checks, but maybe if they made it more streamlined they could generate more diverse investor base and just say to them "You wont hear from us, no you cant help, see you in 10yrs" kind of mentality.
It's alt right propaganda. On the frontpage of HN.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check them out. It's too bad the older translations aren't as good, I love that so much classical work is available for free, which greatly increases the accessibility of it. Some people won't (or can't) consider paying any amount of money to try something they may only get a few pages into.

Setting expectations though, if you are expecting GDScript (the scripting language it uses) to be as full featured as Java (or C++), you'll be left wanting. It took some getting used to, to understand the limitations of the language, and adapt accordingly. After moving forward from that mental block, things have been even smoother. And if you really want it, there is C#/mono support, though I recommend your first project to be with GDScript, since it integrates very well with the editor, and creates a smooth learning experience.

What I want is modern performant filesystem with checksumming for data/metadata, zstd, ssd-optimized, perhaps cow/snapshots. Basically I want btrfs.

ReFS was that promise but AFAIK it's still not bootable, mirror required, no compression. In short, unusable for non-servers.

I recently did exactly this for my game (Industry Idle) on Steam. I added Linux build but pinned a post that says "Linux and Mac support are considered experimental and are supported on best effort basis" (https://steamcommunity.com/app/1574000/discussions/0/3122659...)

Most people are very helpful and quite understanding that as a sole indie developer, it would be hard to support all the configurations. But occasionally I get angry emails and negative reviews about game not running on Linux.

Given the sales (Linux is 1% of the total sales, Mac is 3%), I would say for an indie developer, it makes more sense to put Linux support on a low priority. It is unfortunate for Linux gaming community but it is what it is.

Also even though Proton has come a long way and has become relatively stable - occassionally there are some strange issues (like Steam Cloud sync fails, etc) here and there. But overall the effort is much lower compared to maintain a separate Linux build.

Taking down freemoviesXXX.com in the court of the nation where it is hosted is materially different from making a DNS provider fail to resolve a valid address hosted elsewhere. If you want to be heard you must both fight for the legal right to host content in one county and the right to be read in every other country.

This creates both a concept of there being a censorship list one can be added to and incentivizes escalating attempts to control what can be viewed.

DNS is extremely easy to bypass which is really only half the problem. The other half is the complexity of bypassing blocking can trivially be outsourced to devs of sharing apps who can both implement search and DNS or even vpn.

Technical barriers that are basically boxes for clients to tick are entirely useless your citizens may manage limited complexity budgets but they can outsource those to developers.

The logical path this leads you to are technical and restrictions on what content applications are allowed to display, what applications one is allowed to install based on their compliance with point one, restrictions on what OS one is allowed to install based on compliance with point two.

Then you can control ability to access network resources based on compliance with point three.

This was all speced out decades ago and the technology embedded in your motherboard and somewhat in play on mobile platforms.

Once you have this you will actually have effective censorship tools and now have to worry about how they might be misused when previously we might be reassured by our ability to bypass censorship at need.

When you come down to it the entire content producing industry is of only modest value compared to say science and technology and has more resources than it's ever had before and freemoviesxxx.com is little actual threat to it's existence. It mostly prevents useless people without a creative bone in their body who have never contributed to society in any fashion from maximizing their revenue sufficient to afford a second yacht.

Twisting consumer tech the necessary gateway for all modern communication and culture to increase their revenue slightly is the tail wagging the dog.

Any attempt to take one step down the road ought to result in the offenders being nuked from orbit because their entire destruction would be better end result for society than their success.

That's the intended benefit of Roth IRAs though, even for middle-class investors. That you can buy & sell within them without paying capital gains tax.

It's not usually a huge problem in the public markets because they're extremely liquid, with generally symmetric information across all participants, and that liquidity makes it hard to generate extremely excessive investment returns except by luck. But private companies are illiquid, oftentimes with huge asymmetries of information, and that lets you generate 10,000%+ investment gains by happening to have an opportunity to invest in a rocket ship that other people can't get into.

> 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.

Yeah I don't know why any of these blockchain DNS systems don't have an easy fiat on-ramp. Most people don't care about holding a token, they just want their domain name. It's fairly easy these days too with all the stablecoins around.
The differences between name brands and generic brands is not purely advertising. I will grant you most of the difference is marketing, but advertising is just one piece of what falls into marketing overall. There are plenty of brands that don't advertise and still have a strong and prominent brand identity. Sometimes not advertising even becomes an element of that brand identity.
