It is worse if you have poor signal. Digital either works and looks great or it's not watchable. An analog station might look kinda snowy but be completely watchable. I used to be able to get a few channels before the switchover on my bedroom TV with rabbit ears, after the switchover I got 1 or 2 on a good day because the signal strength was just not strong enough.
So basically a CRM?

Ask HN: Static site generator or no-code for marketing site?
I'm not a technical co-founder (but can program some) but in a previous experience I partnered with one and we made a landing page and marketing site with Nuxt + Tailwind. I did the bulk of the site and it was pretty painless because my co-founder could also go in and tweak it.

Now I am creating something else with a non-technical co-founder. I am very comfortable with just html+css and maybe Tailwind or SSS to structure it. I am considering Webflow or a similar tool because of my non-technical co-founder since he will have a lot of input on the site as well. Should I stick with what I know or use one of these no-code platforms? For some reason I never looked at them because of a terrible Dreamweaver experience ages ago.
The point is that if you believe that false equivalences are going to win you this argument then I'm done arguing with you. People vote in elections based on all kinds of issues, they do not vote for summary executions of journalists.
1) Your assertion that 'the data would be encrypted' is false.

There's no reason to believe that Visa/MC would simply use 'America' as a based to host dumb, encrypted data which enters and leaves the the US fully opaque. That would be pointless. Visa/MS are using services hosted in the US which will process customer data.

2) Statement #2 is also false. There is no arbitrary way for the US to snoop on data that doesn't flow through the US. For a whole variety of reasons - legal, operational, technical, political, cost etc.. Surely it can be done in a limited way, but at a level nowhere near the domestic capability.

3) Finally, you're statement on "geographizing" is also false.

Data, encrypted or not - falls under legal jurisdiction of the 'nation / geography' it's in, and this has many significant consequences. It makes a corporation subject to local laws, regulations, liabilities etc..

The internet is very geographic in nature.
>Slapping an extra tax on them without a viable alternative does not reduce emissions, it only makes people poorer.

The CO2 tax changes what is viable and what isn't.
Teens here wear jeans with holes in them. This was a trend during the punk and trash metal haydays, but I doubt the current trend is in any other way related to the punk or metal subculture. Lifestyle trends get rehashed.
> The problem with trying to force one single history, is that it ignores deployments.

I'm not sure what, exactly, the problem is that you're talking about. When you deploy something, it's built from a specific commit.

Deployment is not atomic, it's a gradual process that takes some amount of time. Between when you (or your automation) chooses to deploy a system and when the deployment finishes is some window of time. The system will often spend much of that time in a partially updated state. You may also choose to canary changes, so you will have a mix of different versions in production at any given time. At companies where I've worked, the time from deployment start to finish for backend systems ranges anywhere from hours to weeks.

I don't understand how this relates to multi-repo or mono-repo concerns, however. The repo is a history of the source code (intentional changes by humans), it's not a history of the state of your production systems (which are the results of automation).
This is about the public announcement and public reply to such an event. If you had a parent die, would you expect (demand, even) it to be announced in your company's newsletter and then have people publicly respond their condolences? Seems weird to me. Having been through the death of a parent, I (and others) let people know about it, and I received condolences and support privately, which I expected given the people were decent people, but doing all that in a public forum is weird and intrusive.

With drugs headed towards legalization there will be more of this.

Because as unethical as it can be for some, a long prison sentence actually deters people from using drugs.
Also Facebook, silently: "Please, please don't ask us how 'personalized ads' actually work."
Brazilians clearly want it gone though, or they'd have mounted a stronger defense around it. There's no way around that, it's been demonstrated time and time again they just can't possibly care less about their rainforest.

I wonder how its disappearance is going to impact neighboring countries though, water patterns are going to be heavily disrupted and plenty turmoil is guaranteed to come from that.
It probably has to do with the failure mode rather than actual rate of failure, although it may be perceived differently.

When digital signals "fail" (usually just minor interference or some power fluctuation), you usually just get a black screen or a picture that cuts in and out. When analog signals "failed" (in the same interference or fluctuation) then you likely got a distorted image/sound/colour for a few seconds but it didn't really interrupt your viewing experience.

It is an interesting observation that it seems in areas where there was still analog and digital transmission in parallel, that the "live" analog signal was "faster".
"The number of candidates I interview who have side projects worth looking at or open source contributions is maybe 1-in-10 at most."

It depends on what they are looking for. Some managers don't care what the project is. They want to see that you can learn new things, have a creative mind, have spare time (that they can hopefully capitalize on), etc.

Prior professional work is the important part, but personal projects become important if you're straight out of college. I know my Android apps helped me get a job. They never looked at the code, but I was able to demo the apps right on my phone and comment on some basic stuff.
I can't imagine why it would. "Droughts have always happened, and this is just bad luck. Climate always changes. Climate change is a hoax designed to put family farms out of business and make us get all of our food from China."

If they've made it this far denying science, I don't see any reason why this would change anything. It's not as if a shift in climate change stance would reduce droughts this year or his decade.
>This like if the local grocery store owner would install hidden cameras to spy on me at home and at work

The more accurate analogy would be the grocery store owner teaming up with other local businesses to aggregate your shopping habits across stores into a central database. What you're describing would be if facebook installed a RAT on your computer after visiting it.
I personally wish the wording was slightly different.

Something like
Deny Tracking

instead of the "Ask app not to track" I have to read the prompt a few times to make sure i pick the right one
Yeah, I think it’s a little ironic that the analog error by necessity had lower latency because buffers were expensive. In someways the world as a whole had these brief experiences of synchronized emotion… everyone hearing the same exact thing within a second that with a long digital buffers caused by cheap memory we no longer experience… buffers can be several seconds, maybe over a minute in total even for live events. Buffer bloat killed cybernetic synchronicity. ;)
For the past year I've had this ritual of clicking on every advertising tile as soon as it appears and mark it as irrelevant and that I don't want to see any more from that company. Currently this happens for a couple of days at the start of some months.

So far I feel like this strategy has worked fine, 90% of the time I don't get served any unwanted content and I can view a decent timeline.

My thinking exactly! Do not extend trust - extend the attempt to try to verify, if you think the matter is important.

On living with uncertainty - this seems to be our major struggle. We can't say "I don't know", we would rather the life-raft of a comfortable story that assuages us. Most of us are both arrogant not because we know/have verified but because of stories/beliefs. It is hybris!

> I guess it depends on the definition of ‘economically free’. Maybe it is easier/less regulated opening a business in Saudi than in France? Or just faster and less paperwork? Maybe it is far easier to hire/fire people in Saudi?

A lot of it is probably partially due to dumb methodology. They have Saudi Arabia's tax burden rated at 99.1%, but that's probably because Heritage is all less taxes == more better and Saudi Arabia's government is basically a state-owned oil company, so they basically don't tax at all.
Actually language developers consistently underestimate the importance of large corporations pushing languages no matter what developers think about them.

I think this is reasonable. The bigger the entity is, the more likely it is to act predictably like a corporation, with fleets of lawyers and boards of directors and general risk-aversion. Smaller corps and indie devs have different risk tolerances, and thus act differently.

But also, bigger corps are bigger revenue streams for Google. Google has less to lose by alienating indie devs than Twitter.

Pharo considers itself to be Smalltalk-inspired.

Maybe the most succinct explanation of what this means comes from their vision document[1]:

> What we want to say is that if there is something that can be improved but does not conform the ANSI Smalltalk, we will do it anyway.

This really does seem to be a fundamental value within the Pharo community, and it distinguishes them from the rest of the Smalltalk community. When observing the communities around Squeak or the commercial Smalltalks, I often get the impression that they view themselves as a sort of Jedi order that's trying to preserve an older, better tradition amidst a decadent modern world. The Pharo community, by contrast, actively acknowledges that Smalltalk was not perfect, and is working hard to improve many things about it, including some of the fundamentals. For example, Pharo's made active steps to make their platform more amenable to source control, and, by extension, collaboration among larger groups of people.

I would bet you $100 Delta offered that and more.
I think switching interests come from not seeing what else you can gain from current interest. When it comes to losing interest in completing a project, it probably comes from your brain thinking it's a dead end with no end anywhere in sight.

To maintain interest in something your brain needs to you see improving in it / getting better at it over time.

Also you have to convince yourself that there's a worthwhile future at the end of the tunnel, and that it's not a waste of time.
You see, drugs that are effective have to make Pharm a lot of money (refer to Aduhelm). Ivermectin is a cheap generic drug that isn't going to make Pharm a lot of money, so it's not effective.

The problem with these discussions of effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis is that people misunderstand who we're optimizing for - Pharm or the public.

It's from Preston Byrne (added this in my original comment).

The reason I think it's relevant is that posts like Palmer's attack only the "scam side" of crypto (the 99%) without acknowledging the "new paradigm" (1%) side

Yes there are scams, yes there are pumps and dumps, yes there are insiders who control too much liquidity. But you also have to do justice to the promise of the tech.

It was not previously possible for anyone with an internet connection to take out a loan via a decentralised protocol (MakerDAO), or exchange assets via a decentralised contract (Uniswap), or have a digital proof of authenticity (NFTs). And all of this without middle-men taking fees, opaque leverage throughout the system (see Archegos) and gating access to only certain participants (the richer half of the world who have a bank account).

I got mine from the text of the law. It does what you say, and also what I say. I definitely doesn't not distinguish between a publisher and a service provider (host, platform, whatever). It does so explicitly.
I agree. My guess is that Apple suspects it can't be 100% effective at preventing apps from tracking, so they're trying to set expectations accordingly in case someone figures out how to track users anyway.

But yeah, my preference would be just something like "Do not track".
Makes you wonder how the web would be if 'Do Not Track' and other standard methods of signalling user preference were enforceable.
Podcast Primer on Girard's Work
With trusted people, I find its best to default to a non-violent communication style[1]. Express your feelings with "I" statements, etc. "I'm feeling X". Believe the other side has positive intent (ie 'hanlons razor'). Express the 2-way nature, and understand feelings can arise for many reason that may not be anyones fault.

Recently I had a conversation with to a colleague where I expressed their earlier perceived 'pressure' made me feel my relationship with them was "transactional". And I felt like my value was about the work I did, not me as a person. I reiterated throughout I didn't think it was their intention. I expressed that this has as much to do with my personality & baggage with how I perceive comments that might not bother others.

I didn't do it perfectly (this is a hard skill to cultivate). But... we left with a better way to communicate. "OK Doug reacts to X statements a bit roughly". On my end, I take accountability for maybe overreacting to X types of statements, and taking a deep breath and being as forgiving as I can. Most importantly our relationship and trust deepened, and we'll work more effectively together...

I've been out of the country for a few years but ... are you telling me that drive-by shootings have become a serious problem in the UK? Last I checked shootings of any kind were extremely rare. I would imagine drive-by shootings would therefore be so vanishingly rare that you could only really say they were "a thing" insofar as they have taken place there at some point, not as any sort of significant consideration when discussing drugs policy.

Define petty. Drugs and theft are pretty much connected. It's widely "accepted" in Dutch society that your bicycle might be stolen anytime by a junkie. My car's windows were smashed several times over years, and I tend to think that thieves are more likely to spend their profits on drugs and alcohol than on books, bread or rock concerts.

Meanwhile Dutch police doesn't investigate any of this "petty" crime. Instead they boast that the occupation of prisons is in all time low, and that they are rented prison space to other countries. Wonder, if anything will change, considering the prevailing "pragmatic" - "it doesn't affect me if my wallet isn't affected" attitude in the Dutch society.
Differentiable Programming of Reaction-Diffusion Patterns
If you don't even know how to google for something as easy to find as a recording of Michael Saylor saying "go mortgage your house and buy Bitcoin with it" that you confidently "lol" and falsely deny that he said it, then how can you possibly claim that YOU are even remotely qualified to "DYOR"?

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22go+mortgage+your+house+an...

Yet you scoff at other people who don't bother to do THEIR own research. Without having done the slightest bit of research yourself about what you're proudly claiming in public.

Most people are too intellectually lazy to do their own research, as you just proved. YOU are the one making stuff up.

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/oj0dj4/michael_saylor_...

"Well Bitcoin's the best crypto asset. What's the second best? There is no second best. There is no second best crypto asset. There's a crypto asset that's called Bitcoin, right? Right. There is no second best, ok? But take all your money and buy Bitcoin. Then take all your time, figure out how to borrow money to buy more Bitcoin. Then take all your time and figure out what you can sell to buy Bitcoin. And if you absolutely love the thing that you don't want to sell it, GO MORTGAGE YOUR HOUSE AND BUY BITCOIN WITH IT. And if you've got a business that you love, because your family works for the business, because it's in your family for 37 years, and you can't bear to sell it, mortgage it, finance it, and convert the proceeds to the hardest money on earth, which is Bitcoin." -Michael Saylor

Does that leave any wiggle room for misinterpretation? DYOR: He said it.
> I am unclear how audits, regulation, taxation serve as protections or safety nets for the average person.

There is much literature about the topic that explain why regulation and audits are needed to protect not only the average person but the whole economy. You can find some information here https://opentextbc.ca/principlesofeconomics/chapter/28-2-ban...

The "taxation" part is mention as cryptocurrencies are used for tax-avoidance and fraud.

...

Banking, at high level, is not complicated and it is very interesting to see how regulation keeps a safe and sound economic system and how failures to regulate make markets collapse. For a historical perspective you can study The Great Depression, as many regulations were created to avoid similar systematic failures.

I think a good start is to have a VPN. Only within the VPN developers are able/allowed to communicate with the INTERNAL parts of your cloud for things like test, staging environment, databases and so on.

I don't know about Azure, but I know other clouds have services to integrate your VPN with their environment allowing you to directly transit between them.

Hope that it brings some kind of insight to your research ;]
I actually do have practical experience with that society and it's actually not all that exaggerated, if it is exaggerated at all.

NL has a drug problem, and has had a drug problem since the 70's or so. It's been worse than it is today, but even today school age children are approached on a regular basis by pushers, plenty of them end up as addicts and quite a few of them do end up on the wrong side of the law to the point that we have special programs to deal with this.

None of our communities is immune from this, whether you live in Northern Groningen, Zeeland, Limburg, Gelderland or the Randstad, the problems are legion and so is the secondary fall out.
Reminds me of the classic HN post "Google tried to patent my work after a job interview" and the included top level comment by the developer of SpeakerBox explaining how they got the same treatment.[0] Google invited them for a meeting about integrating the tech to the Moto X, then after a technical explanation showed them out with a smarmy challenge that the 'race is on' and subsequently filed patents on similar technology.
