When I was looking for my first job some years ago, I kept answering "Never used it" to tools that take maybe a day to a week to master. That made me fail at so many HR stages.
Its not enough to own it, you have to actually have armed security on the ground to protect it. People are killed in Brazil trying to defend the forest from illegal logging and clearing.

I think the state should take on that role, but there needs to be a strong inventive for them to want to protect it.
Yes. Set it as the DNS server to use in your router.
git filter-branch would fit this use case?
He is named Peter rather than Piter, Peter is a very common first name, De Vries is his father's last name, and he was born years before Dune was published.
Or both! Or a bunch of other stuff too!
That's what they said with congestion taxes too. "People need to drive in the city. It will hit the poorest the most!" But in almost every city where it has been implemented it has reduced congestion. Same with taxes on tobacco which has reduced smoking in many countries. It's essentially the only thing economists agree on - higher taxes reduces consumption.

Of course, fuel is so cheap that you need to raise taxes significantly for them to have any effect. After all, fuel is just a small fraction of the total cost of owning a car.
These all feels to me like famous Dropbox comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

Of course you can do some of the stuff Warp does, but you need to have an extensive knowledge. Making them more accessible is always a win.
I do use both of those protocols, but for this specific use case I'm referring Alchemix. I deposited $30k DAI and borrowed $15k alUSD against the deposit. Traded the alUSD for USDC and withdrew through Coinbase.

I didn't go into detail in the initial post since it sounds a bit crazy, but the loan will actually pay itself off since Alchemix is depositing my $30k into Yearn. The yields generated from Yearn gradually pay down my debt automatically. Other interest bearing positions (apps like Compound and "yield farming" on various new protocols) will also help me pay off the loan faster.

The alternative to this is that I could've taken $15k from the initial $30k and paid off our loans outright. But, using Alchemix is more capital efficient. Student debts are now paid and I also have $30k of capital generating yield instead of only $15k if I had simply paid the loans upfront.
This may not be popular here because a lot of Ycombinator's wealth depends on this not happening, but competition laws need to change to allow developers/taxi drivers/home renters/etc. to collude openly against platforms.

Shareholders get to collude, even against consumers, by merging companies, and the government goes to great lengths to give specific minority shareholder rights to boost the collusion. But a group of small businesses don't get to if they don't merge; I think they should be able to collude against platforms backed by network effects, hardware lock in, etc., I'm not saying they should be able to collude against consumers.

> For example, many people who argue that it would be good to defund the police have never lived in a situation where daily life was dangerous due to crime.

Most people who argue for defunding the police live in a situation in which daily life is dangerous... due to the police. Who often harass them, lock them up, or even shoot them dead.

> Similarly, people who argue against pipelines rarely have an understanding of what it's like when there's no fuel or heat in the winter.

You're attacking a straw man. (Almost) nobody is arguing against having _any_ pipelines, whatsoever, anywhere. In the US, however, there is a custom of laying pipelines which are shoddily constructed, tend to burst and spill frequently, and are laid in along highly dangerous paths where they may contaminate drinking water sources and other sensitive locations.

And - people who argue for such pipelines rarely have an understanding of what drinking water mixed with petroleum does to you...
What a silly gambit. It won’t work and it’s going to embolden her and the Democratic base. My dad mentioned Lina Khan to me the other day, and he usually doesn’t even follow the inside baseball.
He directly called out artificial scarcity, it obviously applies to Bitcoin.
Based on following tons of science news for decades: this means nothing. A new hyper-efficient solar panel is discovered almost as often as a battery that lasts weeks/charges in minutes.
My honest read here, and I really wish to emphasize that this is honest feedback and not an attempt to put you down, is that you don't have a solid grasp of causation vs. correlation.

I appreciate you engaging. It's fun and important to talk about stuff like this.
Yep go delete your WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram accounts now. Takes 10 minutes. No one truly needs them. Don't make excuses why you need them. In fact these apps only hurt you. So don't hesitate, just do it. It can feel uneasy, but in only a week or so you'll be happy you pulled through.
> And we believe it’s up to tech Founders, VC’s and employees to do something about it. It’s up to us. Governments and other traditional forms of hierarchical power are ill-equipped to understand the network economy and evolve the new social contract.

Hard pass, I'll take a social contract defined through democracy every time.

Founders and investors, in particular, are uniquely unqualified to evolve the social contract because they have overwhelming financial interests.
Keyword: generally. Plenty of projects do allow community questions, specially small ones or early stages. Is there anywhere else to ask that question? If there is, it isn't prominently signified, answering at least "ask this >here<" would be common sense. At a minimum, this issue evidences the need of documentation and should be addressed in some way with more than "I don't have to answer this".
If people who believed their app idea was stolen were murderous then Silicon Valley would look like Mad Max.

But of course, 32 lives are insignificant. And you haven't talked about knife murders, or other violence, such as arson. But, what the hell, you have made your point - it doesn't matter about people getting killed, so long as the numbers are what you, in your wisdom, consider "low".

Also, this is 2021.
In december 2016 another Dutch 'crime reporter' named Martin Kok was shot to dead. I put that inside parentheses, because that guy was a former criminal/murderer himself and his writing style was really bad (and therefor a joy to read). It was speculated about him that he 'reported' about the activities of a criminal group (basically cocaine traffickers) that was formerly operating stealthy (as in: that group was not in the spotlights of the press yet, it probably was on the radar of the police, I don't know). It was also speculated he got paid for this 'reporting' by another criminal group.

It's all mocro mafia related. Comes down to access to the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp. In 2012 a shipment of 200 kilos of coke went missing in Antwerp. A war broke out. If you are slightly interested in this real life crime stuff, definitely search for 'mocro mafia'. I can really recommend the book called 'Mocro Mafia' by Wouter Laumans (very good book, and it's central theme is around a young Moroccan boy who's frustrated with life and becomes a criminal, to eventually be used as a hitman, very sad read).

These real life crime stories sometimes read like a movie script:
- Beheadings? Check.
- Bombs and rocket launchers? Check.
- Executions in broad day light? Check.
- Mistakenly killing the wrong people? Check.
- Shooting with automatic rifles on police? Check.
- Kids being hitmen for like 5.000 euro? Check.
- Kidnappings? Check.
- Attacks on press, laywers, mayors? Check.

Those two-faucet sinks are just the absolute worst.
Selecting components according to data sheets, capturing the schematic, designing the PCB, designing mechanical components/enclosures, ordering components, ordering bare PCBs, assembling PCBs, bringing up the PCB takes time and is not foolproof. If you're looking to prototype or to make something in small quantities for your own use, it is much faster and less error prone to order something like this.
...if you paid it off with an over-collateralized loan, then surely you must have already had enough money to pay it beforehand. Also may I ask what DeFi platform facilitates 0% loans? I thought they all had some low interest

What are you talking about? A quick google shows extensive reporting on the lack of police staffing and working pressure. This has been pretty well-reported in NL over the last few years.

As someone from Scheveningen, your attitude is disheartening. It's a very "I've got mine" attitude and in these times I'd hope we band together to knock this detrimental activity on the head before we get to a point like Mexican cartels openly killing police, politicians, as well as journalists. Those of us in the Randstad are most definitely affected by this and other drug crimes, and growing up in the achterhoek in the 89s I noticed they were not unaffected. I've never lived in Groningen, but I cannot imagine your city is less affected than Enschede or Zutphin, both of which struggled through the 90s with criminal drug gangs. Just because you have not been affected personally, does not make it okay, and I suspect that attitude is why others are unwilling to continue the conversation—you've made your mind up and we can't convince you. But as a typical Dutch person, I speak my mind regardless of the threat of being banned.
Netscape didn't have CSS2/3, WebGL, Canvas, native video (you had to use a plugin IIRC), plus the dozens (hundreds?) of W3C specs that didn't exist until the last 10-15 years ago.
And Apple could then decide that the Facebook SDK is banned from their ecosystem due to abusive practices, and require any apps incorporating it to submit a new version with the SDK removed or face delisting. This is an arms race.
Yeah, when I saw it was a Software-Defined Instruction set, I immediately thought of Transmeta, as well.

TBH, I have many side projects and open source contributions. In fact I quit my job to work full-time on it.
Was I a good hire? I don't think so. I was literally working 2 shifts and I always gave more importance to my own projects.
Most of my colleagues had no side projects/open source contributions, but they were clearly outperforming me at work.
You make it sound as if the theory is pure quack, but from the second article:

> The other reviewer was Judith Curry, then an atmospheric physicist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, who has long had concerns about the atmospheric dynamics at the core of climate models. She felt it was important to publish the paper and says the standoff was “very bad for climate science, which badly needs an infusion from hard-core physicists.” After 3 years of debate, the journal’s editor overruled Held’s recommendation and published the paper, saying it was published “not as an endorsement” but “to promote continuation of the scientific dialogue on the controversial theory [that] may lead to disproof or validation.”

> Since then, there has been neither validation nor disproof, but largely a standoff.

To me this sounds more like the theory really needs more consideration and research. Because the potential implications are huge. There was a time when the existence of aether was common sense scientific view.

I said it a decade ago, Microsoft should have either acquired RIM (Blackberry) or otherwise partnered with them to make Blackberry the canonical Microsoft phone experience. If they acted fast, they could have retained a solid third place, perhaps still holding on as the handset which corporations deployed to employees.

Instead, Microsoft did to the mobile phone space what Google did with messaging platforms and gave us endless cycles of killing and reinventing them, hoping maybe something would stick.

By contrast it’s interesting to remember how much Apple got right with the iPhone in 2007. Many of the fundamentals of the hardware, software and UX were gotten right before Apple ever offered one to a paying customer.
It's not about whether more than one person could come up withe idea, it's that he pitched it to his own employer, met multiple times with execs to discuss acquisition, only for them to suddenly cut him off and directly copy what he proposed with no remuneration.

That is not the same as two disparate people who have never communicated coming up with the same idea for something.
> Take a good, hard look at WeChat. You just proposed that we force the plethora of existing social media platforms to transform themselves into WeChat.gov portals.

No, that's obviously only true if we picked a protocol that was designed to support mass surveillance (a la WeChat), but there's no reason said protocol needs to be anti-privacy. This is baseless FUD.

> We tried that with the only elements of the internet that actually are utilities: the networks themselves. It was called Network Neutrality, and the Trump administration killed it as soon as they took office on the grounds that it was government overreach.

I don't think the Trump administration killed it because it wasn't working out very well in practice; they killed it because of an ideological disagreement (or more cynically, corruption). Which is to say, this is a political problem and indeed my proposal, like any proposal that pits the people against wealthy special interests, is subject to the same problem--we need to fix our national corruption problem, but that's an entirely different conversation so I'm ignoring it to focus on the practical aspects.
I own an advertising agency. I've tracked ios impressions % over time on all of our remarketing campaigns (as a proxy), its down about 30% from peak and stabilized. Not a huge deal.

LOL at this below:

"Seufert estimated that in the first full quarter users see the prompt, the iOS changes could cut Facebook’s revenue by 7% if roughly 20% of users agree to be tracked. If just 10% of users grant Facebook tracking permission, revenue could be down as much as 13.6%, according to his models. The first full quarter with the prompt is the third quarter. Facebook reports second quarter earnings at the end of July."

FB revenue is going to be up in Q3, not down, would bet $10k on that.

This whole thing exposed how the platform was gamed. That's what I'm referring to. This sort of thing is being done in large and small ways all the time, and there's no chance that Facebook and Twitter are doing enough to detect it, because it's in their financial interests NOT to.

Newspapers are dead. They syndicated Adams' comics throughout the 90s and 2000s. There's no compensation and distribution model that can replace it as yet. Probably won't ever be, the future is all video.
Exactly my concern. And IF that's what's going on here then Dickson deserves to be fired.
This comment makes you look considerably more mentally deranged than you think it does.
Perhaps because you login to Facebook on the Facebook app, they obviously know who you are on your phone. They won't have access to the advertising identifier, but they can still track everything within the app, if they want.
The economy is global. They export the products of the deforested land. All who buy are complicit.
Sounds like it was a team failure. The PR people should have advertised Stockdale's qualities more and let him be himself.

I thought Stockdale was a bad choice because of age and he just seemed distant and unengaged. If that's because of the hearing loss, I don't know. I doubt Seneca was a humble, bystander.

Disclaimer: I voted for Perot/Stockdale.
Stricter drug control policies have been tried over and over again and we just don't seem to learn our lesson. I think it makes people feel good to be cracking down on something versus accepting peoples' inherent freedom to do what they want with their own bodies, but cracking down forces problems into hiding; They still exist and fester, but they're a lot harder to deal with.

Snowy analog with intelligible sound translates to about 40dB signal to noise ratio. That's a SNR where digital will deliver crystal clear image. When digital becomes glitchy, you will absolutely be unable to watch analogue, you will have trouble maintaining vertical and horizontal sync and the sound will be drowned in noise.

This is true and I'm surprised at how little it is discussed and how long it took me to understand this simple fact.

if you have a bunch of participants with money, and create new money,either you 1) give each participant an equal amount (this drives relative wealth towards equality) 2) give each participant an amount proportional to their wealth (result: nothing changes, relative wealth of all participants is the same) 3) you give to some and not others (all youve done is funnel relative wealth from some to others, while
pretending you have created money)

in real life, 'money creation' is almost exclusively 3)

I always find these articles interesting, not because the ideas are novel, but because it highlights that people are generally unaware of the possibility.

A great talk I once heard focused on the idea that given there are (let's use a nice round number) ~4 billion humans on earth, your identity only has 32 bits of entropy. Every piece of information about you can be put in terms of how many bits of your identity it reveals.

Gender? ~1 bit. Zip code? 15+ bits. Your phones serial number would be 30+ bits (assuming some wiggle room for resale or multiple users).
I've come to learn that git monorepos are becoming quite popular. What I don't understand is why people are using git for this kind of workflow. It forces you to actively work against git's design goals and implementation. Which then compels the use of several odd workarounds and kludges to kind of seemingly reassemble a half-baked flavor of subversion. Why not just use a tool designed around monorepos and subtrees? I'm genuinely curious. I assume I'm missing something.
