> By purchasing a burner phone, I am definitely traceable by law enforcement

Well, it really depends on how you buy it and where you use it. Yes, they can locate your phone based on triangulation. However, you can buy a prepaid burner phone outside of your area and then use it to create a Google account and then make sure you are using a VPN when connecting from a residential location. However, I don't really see the use in buying a burner phone just to download APKs from. You can do the same without one. I agree, that it does work to accomplish what you mentioned but I was just trying to explain that there is a much easier route without the additional burden.

I'm sure you already know this, but that is not censorship. By definition, censorship is done by a government or some other outside entity. In the case of video games, it's the companies themselves making these changes to make them more marketable.

TLDR: Capital G Gamers are idiots.
There are niche ketchups. I buy them from time to time - since regular ones (including Heinz) have too high sugar content, and also I don't like the taste of Heinz one. So yes, there are different ketchups - and there are different soft drinks too, by the way.

Whole Foods has over 10 brands of ketchup: https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/search?text=ketchup including their own "365" label. It suggests to me if everybody were buying Heinz, they probably wouldn't bother doing their private label?
The whole reason months start at zero is because somebody wanted to work with them as raw numbers.
Good idea and poorly written.

This low-brow content should really be posted on Reddit and not HN:
1. Definition of Introvert is wrong: introvert can be gregarious, loud, and fun at parties. Introvert vs extrovert is more determined by where you get your energy from.
2. Mostly copies idea from this article [1]

In India, and stretching into the Indian diaspora worldwide, Maggi Hot and Sweet sauce became extremely popular, and for some things such as samosas you can almost never use the regular Heinz ketchup - it has to be paired with Maggi Hot and Sweet.
Recognizing a legal right to think is only a pretext for someone to justify taking that right away. Of course you can think freely, and it's ridiculous to even imply that taking that away is an option through stating so in the law.

Obviously homophobia is wrong, the problem with this kind of thinking is that there isn't any real evidence that outlawing speech protects people's rights. Rights are not given by anyone's graceful speech - that's why they're rights.
Having the full number stack supported (natural numbers - integers - rationals - reals) would be, indeed, awesome.

Sadly, most people don't understand the distinctions, so this will never happen. (Even in reply to your post people keep talking about "decimals", as if the number base is at all relevant here.)
When everyone has the same periods, they don't matter. For e declining economy, we have various forms of state sponsored half unemployment, meaning that you work less while keeping your job and the state sponsors your salary to a degree.

You can also always negotiate an earlier release. These periods offer stability for both parties.

I don't think content creators should be in the business of providing a "platform" to anyone but themselves. Ideally, commenting should be decentralized: if you want to comment on someone's post P, write a post on your site and mark it as a comment on P. Comment filtering should also be decentralized: if you want to see a filtered view of comments on someone's post (for example, only polite comments), run a filter in your browser, tuned to show you only polite comments. All filters only on receiving of information, and controlled only by the receiver of information. Nobody's filter should ever stomp on anyone else's right to receive information.
They should not show up before the warning, and not at all in a recommendation thread.

In that case, it might favour "people who can type fast", not "introverts".
So long as these are software errors, we can fix them. We can't drain swamps, though.
I think "reigns supreme" is a judgment based on $ value rather than number.

If I said ARM Cortex M cores dominate the microprocessor market you would rightly dispute that.
She was trapped with hunger cravings, and would try to satiate herself with sugar-free (stevia/etc) junk foods.

At one point she came up to me with my haagen daz ice cream container and asked, "why does my brain work, when I eat haagen daz?" I told her about how the brain runs on glucose AND fructose, that she was starving her brain of glucose, and that when a brain doesn't have any fructose it transforms some of the glucose into fructose, and that trying to go no-carbohydrate is very inefficient.

Eventually I think she decided it'd be okay to eat fruit.
That literally happened with the VW turbodiesels.
Okay, but if we're not able to label every single one (because we don't have the time/resources/ability to do so), we should probably still remove them, no?

Better removed than unlabeled, as nice as a label might be.
I agree with the sentiment but decentralizing and downscaling production is a win for resiliency. This is a good example but others include recycling and power generation have clearer benefits
For those that haven't seen a RWW video, they don't add commentary to their video content, they simply memorialize extremist right wing messages from politicians and talking heads.

That's the point being made here: they are being banned not for copyright reasons (e.g. their act of re-uploading clips) but for the content in those clips. That is, YouTube is banning them for posting (exclusively right wing) extremist content, which they are posting specifically to expose. People who don't watch the handful of national right wing news outlets or the hundreds of local stations likely won't otherwise know what half of the country is being fed daily.
I disagree, mostly on the grounds that it takes very little effort to challenge something, and a lot more effort to correctly respond to that challenge.

Honestly, I'm curious what you think a solution might be that would respect this basic fact of argumentation.
Here's my problem.

If a developer (lets say, Koei Tecmo games), decides to make a video game (such as Dead or Alive 6) slightly less sexy than a previous video game (such as Dead or Alive 5), is that "censorship" ??

Or is this a *COMPLETELY DIFFERENT* discussion, and the "censorship" trolls are just trying to cause outrage in a completely unrelated subject matter?

Ditto with Nintendo and their treatment of Pyra & Mythra in Xenogears vs Smash Ultimate. Its like Smash Ultimate is aimed at a younger audience, so Nintendo wanted those characters to have slightly less sex appeal in Smash Ultimate, while having slightly more sex appeal in Xenogears.

So yelling "censorship" at the top of your lungs because you don't like Pyra's tights in Smash Ultimate is just... counterproductive. (For those unaware: The original character design doesn't have tights, so she shows a bit more thigh in Xenogears. So the controversy is whether or not adding the tights to Smash Ultimate is "censorship").

--------

That's the thing about "censorship". Its outrage trolling these days. You yell censorship not to make a point or to move the discussion forward. You yell it to close off the discussion and derail it. Its a troll move, not really about discussing underlying issues.
That's why welfare, food assistance programs, and unemployment exist. Amazon (and every other employer) pays in to those programs by law when employing people.

You’re trying to do business in another country with different rules. If you want to sell food into the EU, you need to comply with their food safety regulations.

No kidding. Losing $250k on a bug would, relatively speaking, be a good day at my company.
> Remove the incentive to send spam.

Good luck. Literally nobody has figured out a viable way to do that. At this point, we need to consider spam a fact of nature, like viruses.

> Locking down things takes the fun out of them.

Locking down things so we create a space that actually functions and doesn't succumb to abuse. What you call fun, others would call trolling they'd like to get rid of.
> You are complaining that a currency is acting like a currency (inflationary)

I challenge the assumption that a currency is naturally inflationary in nature. Though it is very tempting to politicians to print money and debase the currency if they can get away with it, there is no inherent law of currencies that makes them inflationary. In fact, throughout hostory the only way fiat currencies could be inflated was through debasement. Bitcoin has a fixed supply and cannot be debased but those properties do not make it less of a currency.
There are more than $100b of stablecoins — 285x year-over-year growth — with a variety of very interesting and high-quality stablecoins proliferating. And of course, Hacker News focuses on some garbage project nobody in the space even followed.

How is there no discussion about FRAX, Maker's DAI, USDC, CRV's 3pool token, Liquity's LUSD, and so many other interesting projects?
You said it, when you are a debtor fiat with its constant debasement is great. For creditors fiat doesn't work that well.
It can even become wrong for future dates. Always use UTC is a broken, bad rule for future dates, it only makes sense for things that have already happened.

As for how it breaks, you have a booking for 8pm the day after the start of summer time. You stored the date/time in UTC. Government changes the start of summer time. Your database now thinks it's at 7pm because it uses UTC.

Here's some examples:

https://codeofmatt.com/on-the-timing-of-time-zone-changes/

Also the EU is seriously debating getting rid of clock changes, and it comes up in the UK semi-regularly.

Your database will not fix your bad data when that happens.
Yes, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
I have to ask, are you suffering from a Type 1 diabetes? If not, at least for me, this answer kind of misses the point completely. Type 1 is a hell to manage. It is REALLY hard.

Like I actually use an open source pancreas to control my glucose levels so now I can sleep every night without having to worry about dying. This is in Europe where the insurance covers everything and prices are cheaper than in US.

Using the Walmart insulin makes everything much much more complex, and even for the smartest of us, even with the best possible insulins, managing T1 is a HUGE pain and can kill you quite fast.

I hope I misread your comment...
I don't think the VC money distorted anything. People are not opposed to paying for what they are using. People are opposed to paying monthly.
> The existence of flawed software does not mean that it’s impossible to make reliable or trustworthy software.

It also doesn't mean that it is economically feasible to make 100% reliable or trustworthy software.

> If you’ll never trust your money to a smart contract no matter how vetted, then I’d recommend you never fly a plane or store personal data in the cloud.

Isn't vetting of contracts the opposite of having a no human touch algorithmically run world?

And who does the vetting of the code? Who does the vetting of the people the vet the code? Who does the vetting of the people that run the code?

To have your money in smart contracts right now is tantamount to seeing those 737 max plane crashes in the past, then plugging your ears with your fingers and saying I can't wait to fly on a 737 max tomorrow. It's kind of a mess out there right now [1].

Hey, no need to apologize, you said nothing wrong.

I'm not the only fusion founder who occasionally hangs out here. I know at least one other who comments occasionally.

I tried to type up an answer to your questions, but apparently I still have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this that don't come out into text very easily, and I need to focus on my challenges of today rather than yesterday. So I'll just say that I hope that someone does succeed, and let the contemporaries of that time speak for themselves.
I completely agree, and I am surprised your comment was the only that mentioned sales engineering. Like you, I took a sales engineering role for a technical product, and it was by far the best way for me to learn sales (coming from a software background).

Plus, while there is an abundance of sales materials out there, none of them will prepare you as well as actually doing the thing. I'm not scared of talking to customers, no matter what impressive titles they may bring to the table -- I've already spoken with dozens of other CTOs, CISOs, COOs, etc. from the deals I worked on. I'm acutely aware of the art of a pitch, and have a mental model for which techniques are crucial and which are to be avoided. After practicing the pitch/demo enough, I was able to start analyzing my choice of words, flow, etc. during the actual call (as opposed to after the fact). I also learned the art to managing deal cycles, and an immediate "no" is vastly preferable to a "no" after being strung along for a year. Perhaps most importantly, I learned how to be the trusted technical advisor to the customer -- the sales rep may want every deal to close, whether or not it's a good fit, but that's not the way to happy customers and good integrity in the sales process.

I only did the sales engineering role for a little under a year, but it provided me with incredible value.
It is not so much about intorversion vs. extorverson but rather IQ. Similar the 2008 financial crisis, the biggest losers of the Covid crisis and its recovery are the untalented, whose jobs are pay little and are replaceable and interchangeable like cogs. And the biggest winners, similar again to the post-2008 recovery, are the talented, whose wages exceed inflation and whose contributions are valued and are harder to replace.

Yet I have heard about plenty of people in major tech cmpanies like google and apple feeling like they are in a rut despite the good pay. So if you measure satisfaction by just money you miss out on other factors. It's not like a tech job guantees a path to deep and fulfilling work.
Introvert vs. Extrovert isn't really backed by anything.

Perhaps an equally meaningful title would be "the reign of gemini is here" and we could all enjoy that cosmopolitan article together :')

The audience is the people who don’t want to deal with the government for whatever reasons, the most obvious one is doing something illegal like buying drugs or costly like sending money overseas in developing countries.
I disagree. I hate being at the office and at the mercy of whoever wants to walk by and talk to me. Even if I have an excuse for not talking, I'm still disrupted. At home, all interactions are filtered through my laptop, which is more predictable and manageable.
I completely agree with your assessment. Everyone from the 1990s to the 2010s chose their poison and the strings that came attached. I myself will even admit to it as I seek to correct my own course. However, a dangerous trend (likely one that's always existed but is now rearing its ugly head) is the imposition of multiple, contradictory views from cultures, governments, interest groups onto those who don't wish to be involved. What's the solution to those who wish to return to the freewheeling heyday of the BBS, Usenet, and Internet forums? Where does one go after shattering the garden wall?
Do you have IPv6 enabled? That seems to be a major contributor to the captchas I run into.

This strikes me as ad hominem; I'm talking about standard unskilled workers. Anyone who doesn't have enough savings on hand to buy food and shelter for the short period of time while switching jobs in one of the best labor markets for workers that our generation has ever seen is simply irresponsible.

There are so many unfilled jobs right now.

I've noticed a good model for discourse online is when people have to pay a small amount to be part of the group. The comments on a $1/month patreon are an order of magnitude better than in a free-for-all subreddit for example. Some places can buck this trend but it usually requires a huge burden and dedicated moderation staff (which doesn't come for free).

You seem to have missed the biggest part of why I recommend this to some people - never, ever put a SIM in the burner phone. It's just for that burner gmail address you use to get into the Google Walled Garden.
One of the changes due to WFH that I'm happiest about is how all meetings are now online, which makes my inability* to find the right time to take a turn speaking in a conversation less of a problem (since it's possible to "raise a hand" in most online meeting apps, or just drop a message in chat.) Better still, most meetings can be converted to emails, so this situation doesn't arise in the first place. I don't think most people realise how much anxiety this kind of stuff causes "introverts".

Econ is tough.
Depending on the capital requirements and cost of these facilities, and imagining them as semiconductor fab type facilities, a nation would really be putting all their eggs in one basket if their protein security relies on just a few dozen such facilities across the country. This major centralization could be done in by one ransomware attack or activist employee , whereas the decentralized protein production by tens of thousands of producers today is far less susceptible. Once food security becomes tech-driven, its something to worry about.
I think the word „smart contract“ does not actually describe them very good. Of course, a piece of software can not replace a legal contract, really, because software is stupid and inflexible.

Think of smart contracts rather as vending machines for financial transactions. For example: You enter some crypto coins, maybe select an option and the machine returns a receipt for redeeming your investment plus some interest later.

If the machine is well designed it will forever do the same thing and, hence, be reliable and convenient. Of course, bugs can happen. But like with vending machines, you test and audit its code before deploying it everywhere.
Can you elaborate on your last paragraph or point me somewhere?
Google's Lyra speech codec is now fully open-source
Fed govt set aside cash during covid pandemic to give extra funds to people on unemployment. At the beginning of the pandemic all the states particapated, but not anymore.

Critics have accused the fed govt of irresponsibly rolling this out as the economy has rebounded, and now you have many states where businesses are struggling to find workers who want to apply for these low income jobs because unemployment + 300$(fed govt bonus) + tax benfifits > low income job. So basically 21 states stopped giving unemployed people that extra 300$, and surprise surprise, american workers are rational and more of them elected to go back to work compared to the states that still distribute that 300$.

Basically this isnt surprising, but people on the far right want to gut bloated unemployment programs and far left wants universal income + bigger welfare for nonemployed americans, and this is playing out in Washington DC now and in states accross the US who arent one party states.

There are a number of reasons why someone loses unemployment eligbability, time being one of those as you alluded to. Varies state by state.

I beleive some states like NY and Cali have extended unemployment benfifits to like September, other states probably vary.
The original mistake you did was let someone else handle the timezone conversion. You should probably always default to storing UTC-normalized timezoneless datetimes (there's of course a number of exceptions, but generally "an instant" in the past should be translated into UTC before being stored into the database... with future dates/times, it's more ambiguous, but in any case, you should be doing the TZ conversion yourself).
Sure, but we also live in a free society, so they can't just ban things because they feel like it without swift opposition. If it's a legitimate thing that people want, it'll still continue to exist, but would only move underground (for example, we know how alcohol ban worked out).
It's the same with basically every other campaign that wants to grab headlines. It literally makes no sense that insulin prices are killing people and it's unavailable, and a basic amount of research shows that yeah indeed, it's clickbait intended to hook you into a more complex discussion.

I pay zero attention to people and news sources that repeat that behavior more than once. Lead with the truth.
No, I’m pretty sure it’s getting worse. Anecdotally about 10 years ago when out-of-towners would ask where the closest Starbucks was, I’d proudly say there’s just the one at the convention center. Now my mid sized city is infested with them despite already having a few regional chains and dozens of independent shops.

Being introvert vs extrovert is not about how one acts in social situations but whether one finds social situations draining or giving energy.

For some introverts that translates into avoiding social activity, but that is by no means a given.

I like many social situations and can be outgoing and animated in the right context, but no matter how much I might enjoy that, it is still exhausting to me, and that is what makes me introverted. I need solitude to recharge.
How? Both deploy caches at IXs and ISPs so most of the bandwidth is just going the last mile.

Bandwidth usage != energy usage unless the usage is such that it requires upgrading equipment or other infrastructure, but that might actually decrease energy use (a 5YO switch is less efficient than most current models).

The energy consumption of a network switch is about the same whether it's pushing 10gbps or 100gbps.
