Because it is exactly what their target customer base wants to hear. A non-technical person with an idea doesn't want to go into debt or give up significant ownership of their company just to see if their product idea is worth anything.

I agree that when this type of sentiment crosses over into an "us vs them" (non-tech vs tech) mentality it's problematic. Having a confrontational mindset towards any integral part of a business is a recipe for disaster. However, if you look in the Bubble forums you'll see there are a number of posts reaching out for a cofounder/technical person or advising to find a technical cofounder when scaling becomes a reality (successful proof of concept).

Personally, I find products like Bubble to be a great opportunity to reduce risk in the startup phase for all parties involved. New ideas can be tested in the wild for a lot less time and money. After a market has been shown to exist then a focus on scaling and technical architecture can happen. It's also easier to attract a talented CTO when you can prove that a market for the product exists.

Compelling someone to do a thing will guarantee a crappy outcome, so while I get that it's not good that someone wouldn't make the cake, forcing them to make it gives them a million opportunities to make a shitty cake. Who would want that on their wedding day?

I would be disappointed that a company wouldn't service me because I was gay, but I would hate it even more if they were forced to provide (shitty) service to me.
How are you going to "force" legacy address holders to give up their space? Especially government agencies, which helped to build the early internet? Early registrations, pre-dating ARIN and the other registries, are basically property. You don't even get charged for them unless you sign a "legacy registration agreement."

The definition of terrorism is "inciting fear", not necessarily "kill thousands". A million people afraid if they caught BSE/cow madness is definitely hitting that definition, especially as the stuff can't be tested for... people exposed to prions will have that sword hanging over their neck for the rest of their lives, and the affected area will be out of order for years.

To this day, many countries ban all people who lived in the UK between 1980-1996 from donating blood (https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/bse-nachwirkungen-blut-spend...) simply because of that fear.
That’s the story.

In actuality, even factual and cited posts will get you shadowbanned if your opinion is contrary to the mainstream (on HN) narrative.

I think it’s more “conforming” than “constructive”.
I'm curious why downvoting feels painful or frustrating. Perhaps I'm majorly naive. When I post a comment in HN, I sometimes feel a twinge of nervousness, since I'm not attempting any level of anonymity and I'm aware that some people have strong opinions, sometimes become personal, and cancel culture is a thing, but at the end of the day, if I'm downvoted, it's only a comment on the internet, not something about which I feel personally judged. People are entitled to their opinions, I'm not attached to them agreeing.

Sometimes, after I write something, I think, 'I could have phrased that more effectively' and sometimes I even change my mind based on someone else's more informed points. This is why I engage in discussion, not to be right, but to explore things I'm interested in and to learn.

I appreciate downvoting in an environment like HN, where usually it seems to be wielded in service of better conversation, but I also have seen it used to push down voices that might be simply passionate. There is a certain hegemony that may be enforced by downvotes. ("Why is THIS on HN?" is a clue). Still, there's an amazing level of thoughtful moderation, and I prefer to notice the culture from a slightly sociological perspective rather than thinking it needs to change by fiat, and make my small contributions from a slightly different perspective.

I don't comment on things that feel emotional to me, and sometimes things make me frustrated. I think downvoting is actually a good tool- however, I hope someone will educate me here.

“Most tests, like the Broad Institute test used by MIT, use a 40-cycle protocol. If the virus isn’t detected within 40 amplification cycles, the test result is negative. If viral RNA is detected in 40 cycles or less, the PCR machine stops running, and the test is positive. Because you received a positive result, we know that the test detected the virus in your sample by the time it reached its 40-cycle limit.”

> That guy that comes in for the same simple drink at the same time every morning, is worth more than someone who buys all the foof and never comes back.

I'm this guy. The interaction with a coffee shop changes once they start treating you as a regular. The arrangement is somehow more mutually beneficial than the simple exchange of money for goods. Sadly, I find fewer and fewer shops have this attitude. In my current city, I notice the hot shops have a wild rotation of baristas such that by the time they remember my order (it's a black americano, not rocket science) they've moved on.

Small, family owned-and-operated shops are by far a better experience than any chain, even of their coffee isn't quite as good as a Blue Bottle or a Philz.

The digital dollar already exists in every bank and payment service. And private companies manager the ledgers and comply with legal police warrants when needed

Centralising dollars under a central bank digital currency can only be a tool of surveillance. It's unavoidable. A centralised platform where the police will need to have legal backdoor access will give you access to everyone's financial data in a central location and show spending habits like never existed before
It’s like a signal visible from outer space that our economy is in a Bubble.

I noticed a number of differences myself:

First, my smokers cough went from extremely bad to quite mild when I switched to raw tobacco.

The smell also dissipated much quicker with raw; it didn't leave that mephitic ass-miasma like the chemical tobacco did.

After smoking raw for a while, I could taste the difference. No joke. It's like quitting sugar; you taste it more after, and it's not exactly pleasant. In fact my sense of smell and taste improved overall.

Finally, it was easier to quit from raw compared to chemical. Very subjective, but I stand by it.

Tobacco companies are prohibited from advertising raw as in any way healthier, and I get that. But like, surely it's obvious that cancer stuff + more cancer stuff is worse than just cancer stuff. The fact that we don't have any numbers on this (at least that I could ever find) is highly suspicious to me; surely that would be something worth working on.

My experience on HN is that it desperately hangs on the words you choose and the threads you visit. The lower the barrier to entry (social subjects for example) the more delicate and convergent things become.

I'm specifically talking about the subset of ways in which they are similar and also relevant to this scenario of handling arbitrary structured data like JSON. There are of course ways in which they are not similar, but I'm not sure how those are relevant to this scenario being discussed....could you elaborate on that?

Ransomware is also a better sort of arbitrage against the legal system. If you somehow got caught and prosecuted you didn't do a violent crime, so that has to probably help you somewhat. Of course you did do a federal crime so you have to serve 85% of your time no matter what.
I'm really curious how this will affect politics, elections and the public opinion.

Although maybe nothing will really happen, humans will just suffer the consequences without really changing anything.

I'm pretty confident politics will just completely disengage from carbon problems, and let lobbyists run the show. Because if that happens, I don't know what the public will do: doing nothing and keep feeling guilty?

I guess the same thing will happen with COVID and masks. The governments will act with restrictions, people will criticize and disagree.

> The best crimes do not look like crimes.

Sure, but there is really no shortage of known unsolved crimes.

> The police does not put out press releases repeatedly with 'we got no leads'.

They do, in all the cases I listed they've asked the public for help for years. Certainly they don't do that for crimes they don't know occurred, but there is no shortage of known crimes that are very publicly unsolved.

For that matter, there are also a whole lot of missing person bulletins soliciting information from the public. Many of them might be murder victims, but it isn't known whether they are really alive or dead, let alone murdered. The public is nonetheless asked for information.
I gave it up voluntarily. I had no need for it for a time and so I just returned it.

I don't understand the idea of having arbitrarily limited amount of numbers and selling them. A lot of companies just got them for free and are now selling them for huge bucks because rather than do what I did -- return public good you are not using -- they decided to hog it until such time it becomes scarce good.
This is an approach I have seen first hand in my professional life. We have isolated multiple strains of beneficial microbes from contaminated sites (primarily hydrocarbons) for use in remediation efforts. These microbes are very capable and have abilities beyond say the degradation of benzene…for instance they provide nitrogen fixation or phosphate solubilization or other plant promoting activities which allows us to use the same isolates in agriculture to promote a more sustainable production system. I believe microbes play and will continue to play a fundamental role as we find the balance between lowering the impact of commercial agriculture while ensuring the agronomics of said production.
This seems reasonable for a read-heavy system (like Reddit). In a failure, the content on the site would just get staler and staler, but there wouldn't be a heavy outage.

On HN in particular, I don't know how downvotes could be made any less psychologically impactful, short of completely hiding comment scores on even your own posts. Comments you posted never change color while you're logged in, so all you ever see is a little number, and the minimum score of -4 prevents massive pile-on situations.

I basically see HN voting as a sort of crowdsourced curation mechanism. I upvote comments that I think should appear closer to the top, and I downvote comments which I think should appear further down, or which should fade out and become easier to skip over. And that's a large part of what makes HN comment threads interesting to read.
Experiencing a negative emotion is not always, or even most of the time, the same thing as being hurt.
My ISP gives me a /56, and many provide a /48. That's huge. We are 4 people, each with 2-3 devices, and frequent guests on our wifi. Pretty sure such a database would be highly unreliable. And some ISPs rotate the allocated subnet, some make it static. You would probably have the same level of reliability with an IPv4 database currently ("IP visitor from a niche US-based ISP" is probably the same user, and you could dedupe by browser and other data).

And then jurisdictions such as the EU, Canada and California would consider the IP address to be PII, and it would be illegal to contribute to such a database.

Again, there are much more easier ways to track people on the Internet.
The pricing change is only about additional IP addresses for a single machine. Each machine will still come with one IPv4 included for "free":

> If downvotes don't matter

Votes don't matter. Upvotes, downvotes, they're just fake internet points, they don't mean anything. Don't sweat it.

Some of my most upvoted posts/comments in various fora over the web have been quick low-effort in-joke references, or throwaway gags, whereas my carefully nuanced and referenced technical explanations have got a handful of upvotes. They're totally arbitrary, and the crowd is fickle.

Downvotes are of even less consquence.

Write good posts/comments. Be kind. Be useful. If the stuff you write gets downvoted, that's just the way it works out sometimes. Even if it gets downvoted into total oblivion, that doesn't mean that no-one read it or was helped by it. You might still have made a worthwhile contribution to someone's day. Let it go, and keep writing kind and useful things.
You have to differ between use-case and tech
A good use-case likely does not work on the popular tech that we have today.

Like the original use-case of p2p-money (ignore if this use-case actually makes sense or not). It does not work with bitcoin, its way to slow and expensive.

Now if you create a new "bitcoin" that does work for the use case p2p-cash then this should in theory replace the old bitcoin. But in reality it does not. Bitcoin turned into a gambling thing and tribalism over what the real bitcoin is and should do. And your actual solution likely gets no attention at all because its just one of many thousands of other blockchains from which 99+% are useless and probably hundred also say they solved the p2p-cash problem. The chance to taking over bitcoin is essentially zero in the near time future it doesn't matter how much better something is. We have tech that objectively way way better than bitcoin since at lest 8 years now and no one who is not into crypto has ever heard form it. Low TPS/Longe blocktims/energy consumption etc. etc. all solved problems since many many years, yet this is what mainstream crypto talks about.

So your better bitcoin does not "succeed" since 8+ years...

Does that mean the tech you made for p2p-cash is bad/useless?
Does that mean the tech does not work for the use-case?
Does that mean another XX years without anything useful coming out?
It sure looks like that but maybe it just means that everyone else has no clue what tech and use-cases actually could/would/do work because they are all in the shadow of the big 1 coin that failed at everything it tired to be but gets all the attention anyway.

I'm not saying the next thing will magically do everything better. But its just a matter of time before projects that actually do something get the attention. It may take a long long time for that to happen. Most of the new people who came into the crypto space in the last years are in no way able to distinguish between useless stuff like bitcoin, stuff that is straight out a scams and stuff that actually solve a problem better than solutions without blockchain tech could.
They are often not even into tech, they are into money. All the scams would not work if a majority of people would have a decent understanding of the tech.

And even the people who have the skills, can not evaluate the different techs in a meaningful way. Ive dug into many projects myself over the years and almost everything is useless but most I will never even look at because it somehow has to get my attention first.

Nonetheless there is n doubt the tech is revolutionary and it will sooner or later power stuff normal people use likely without them knowing, also likely stuff that has nothing to do with money. Its kinda funny how the whole crypto space focuses on how to use the tech with money but there so much more that can be done.
In this case I guess the message targets people in other cities than the doomed one. "This could happen to your city too".

Honda and Kawasaki both have plenty of capital and experience building new machinery. A new startup focusing on one specific type of machinery built as much as possible out of commonly available parts from e.g. Honda could also do quite well, I think.

Comcast will hand you the smallest routable ipv6 network (/64) by default, however people have had varying success with prefix delegation hints to get larger address spaces.

Without passing judgement on a) medium.com articles, b) Comcast or c) pfsense here is an article that covers making IPV6 work in that specific instance. https://circuitguy.medium.com/home-network-virtualized-pfsen... - Worst case scenario someone can take this and adapt it to opnsense or their OS of choice.
I was just thinking this when reading the email Hetzner sent me. Would it be a good investment to buy 1000 IPv4 addresses now and sell them in a few years?
Huh? Big unsolved crimes receive unending fame.
what do you mean by natively?
I am using iway and can clearly use ipv6. Most of the whatismyip sites give me my ipv6.
The downside to Python is people start screeching if you use subprocess to call executables, and dammit, sometimes I don't want to find and implement the API in Python - I just want to run the program that already does that for me.

My personal flip point is error handling. If errors aren't important, shell. If they are, shell with `set -e`. If errors are important but also shouldn't immediately kill the script from one failure, Python.
The issue would be more or less the same. You'd have to buy new hardware and check all software anyway but would drop many of the benefits of the IPv6 we have. E.g. in enterprise networks, it is very nice you don't have to think about the size of a subnet for a VLAN anymore, you just give every VLAN /64 and it will suffice. The extra address space is also nice for autoconfiguration and much more we don't even think about yet. I think, IPv6 is ok as it is. A practical protocol is never perfect and will not please everybody but IPv6 stood the test of time, there is considerable traffic over IPv6 and we are slowly, but surely getting there.
Precisely one of the things I hate about ipv6. I want the anonymity of cgnat, thanks.
The area where most no code solutions tend to break is performance. There's some sort of black box that has o(n^2) time and nobody can fix it.
