Money is simply a storage of future labour. You're given it in return for the labour you perform today for someone else (or as a benefit from society due to not being able to perform laborious tasks.)

Money isn't evil. How you utilise it is evil.

> Epiphany Two happened a few months after they met, on June 27, 2003, almost six years to the day after Epiphany One. Johnston’s father had sent him $50 for his birthday. With it, he bought beer, pot, and cigarettes, and then threw himself a small party at Beacon Hill Park. He overdid it and found himself lying on his side behind a bush. “I was just pukey drunk,” he says. “It was embarrassing. And then it just hit me. Like, I've had enough of this. I'm not playing this game anymore. And I was done. I had no use for money.”

The lesson here hasn't been learned. Simply don't exchange money for those things. Exchange them for something else, something healthy, and you'll be fine.

I feel like this kind of protest stems from a degree of immaturity with money; not knowing how-to utilise it, what its reasons for existing are.
You need to reread my post.

The situation is far more complicated than your link to the GitHub repo would indicate.
This thing seems really awesome. I logged into the demo and loved it.

Then I tried downloading, and got cold feet when I didn't see any .deb, .exe, or .dmg. I have no idea what the installation process is (hopefully, run installer and select directories). But most of the time that I install anything without an installer, it ends up being kind of a hassle.

If you're really serious about this project and want to see people using it, I highly recommend prioritizing `sudo apt-get install` or `brew` or something like that. .deb, .exe, and .dmg being the most user friendly.
There have been some studies that have shown that some face recognition tech has more trouble with black masks than other colors. So make yours black.

Stripe Atlas is frankly going to be the cheapest and best supported one. I'd highly recommend it.

At the end of the day they all do more or less the same stuff. But Atlas had a support framework after you create the company.
Exactly. And even though this issue is sometimes discussed on Hacker News, I suspect that the people who are down voting me don’t know anything about this issue. For them, as a basic primer, I’d point them to the Wikipedia page:

There are no longer any DangerOS devices. If you had a former DangerOS device, it is now dead hardware from the point of view of running DangerOS. You could buy one and look for a serial JTAG access and then hope for a root exploit -- I suspect that the boot process was not locked in any real way -- but you would have:

- a device with an extremely old battery

- without an open or available SDK

- with a pathetically slow CPU by modern standards

- with a pathetically small amount of RAM by modern standards

- with a mediocre keyboard under a screen with a nifty magnetic hinge mechanism but terrible specs (again, by modern standards)

- with, if I recall correctly, a very low speed GSM data connection

There's no reason to try to resurrect them.
Are you sure he's asking for any of your tax money? I didn't notice in the article any mention of him collecting benefits. He dumpster dives for food if nothing else. People give him some things, of their own free will.

And don't forget about all the rich people that your tax monies subsidize [0]. Those are people who have money, and are being given more from your taxes.

How much different is this guy than those rich people getting tax breaks? Which begs the question why there is such a visceral reaction against this poor guy, but not all the rich who get propped up by the government. I guess we aspire to be one of those rich people who do nothing, and resent the people who choose not to play the game that most of us aren't winning.

> Sometimes media outlets have an agenda.

No. They always have an agenda. And that agenda, overwhelmingly, is pro status quo. Not left, not right, not up or down. Just "things are basically OK except for a few problems here and there which we'll tell you about, though not in much depth".
Espionage is a political crime, so it is not a valid justification for extradition from a civilized nation.
Well yeah, agile works best when everyone involved is in the room.

It's a rather common pattern in politics, that the people who you need in order to rise are not the same who you need in order to stay.

But yours is just a negative attitude. Framework could or could not betray its base, they could or could not fail and they could or could not be followed by other manufacturers.

Remember when he repeatedly said he'd happily face the charges if he could be given assurances he wouldn't be extradited to the US for spying once he got there?

And Sweden was like "uhmmmm.... nope, we need to leave that option open" and the media made fun of him for being paranoid and delusional.

Correa gave him asylum for a reason. It's too bad Moreno decided to cancel the asylum to score some points with the US.
Not a signal developer, but I would imagine it would be fairly simple that the same bug also encrypted the message with the eventual receiver’s key (as opposed to the intended receiver’s key). Resulting in a message which the eventual receiver could decrypt but not the intended receiver.

Am I missing something here?

After reading the article I've been unable to see how this relates (or necessarily is correct, but that's another matter) to the link.

Could you please elaborate?

The track record for compatibility in the tools I mentioned is extremely good. Even when new approaches were launched (Hooks, Composition in Vue), backwards compatibility was kept. You can even mix and match approaches in the same app. Of course there's Angular, but that's the exception to the rule.

Heck, Microsoft has completely changed the way of writing native Windows apps in the last 10 years more ways than Javascript frameworks have introduced new stuff. Apple even changed the language to one that (unlike Typescript) is not backwards compatible. Complaining about the JS ecosystem evolving too fast is anachronistic, that happened more than 8 years ago.

tl;dr of the article is that the pandemic caused a major hiccup in the new-car pipeline: first people halted buying, that caused manufacturing to pause. Even when the manufacturing started again, the chip shortage came in.

In general, it seems people started being more frugal and smarter with their money: people bought fewer new cards and people had few repos. Of course, what makes a car "used" is time, so fewer new cards last year also means fewer late-model used cards this year. Increased demand and decreased supply.

All in all, I think it's a major correction of the prices of used cards. It never made much sense that a new car had half its value fall off when you drive it off the lot, but it was just an accepted fact and a reality (as all value is determined by what's agreed up on explicitly or implicitly).
Those are all fine and good when you're an employee. When you're not affiliated directly with the United States at all, and we're a means to an end though is where the consternation comes in, and where the U.S. really gave themselves a black eye with Assange.
I don't understand if we can say this inflation isn't just the surge of people who didn't spend a lot on travel/eating out/etc. now splurging on all the things + constraints on goods like cars due to the pandemic causing supply chain issues. It seems to me to me a relatively temporary, same as how the April 2020 market dip didn't really mean anything come April 2021.
This bug seems to only have affected Android. 5.17 is still in beta for iOS.
Qubes looks great if you have a static separation of concerns you can plan for in advance. My instinct is that VMs in general are a improvised way to implement the principle of least privilege.

I believe what we all want, but most of us don't realize yet, is the ability to generate a whitelist (capability) on the fly, and hand it off to an otherwise completely sandboxed application.

This allows you to reason directly on what resources you're willing to trust to the process. By allowing a concrete manner of limiting side effects, you ensure that no matter how buggy, or even malicious, the process is, it can't modify anything else.

This allows a level of security we haven't had since 2 floppy MS-DOS machines with write protect tabs that worked.
I didn't use one until I got one for work (1password) and realized how convenient it is to keep track of passwords across devices. Around the same time period, for me anyway, there seemed to be a proliferation of SaSS or at least non-trivial online products I used that I needed a login for. Meaning it's become impossible (or at least impractical) for me to manage passwords on my own.

If I were trying to convince someone to use a password manager, I'd try and time a free trial with some kind of life event that required a bunch of new signups to online things, so they could see how valuable it is. Examples might be starting school, or immigrating.
They also refuse to open source their server software.

This is the problem in my mind. Open source in words, but not spirit.
I assume so. I was curious how modern society deals with quakers and the amish in this regard, and found this:

> The Amish are subject to sales and property taxes. As they seldom own motor vehicles, they rarely have occasion to pay motor vehicle registration fees or spend money in the purchase of fuel for vehicles.[114] Under their beliefs and traditions, generally the Amish do not agree with the idea of Social Security benefits and have a religious objection to insurance.[115][116] On this basis, the United States Internal Revenue Service agreed in 1961 that they did not need to pay Social Security-related taxes. In 1965, this policy was codified into law.[117] Self-employed individuals in certain sects do not pay into or receive benefits from the United States Social Security system. This exemption applies to a religious group that is conscientiously opposed to accepting benefits of any private or public insurance, provides a reasonable level of living for its dependent members, and has existed continuously since December 31, 1950.[118] The U.S. Supreme Court clarified in 1982 that Amish employers are not exempt, but only those Amish individuals who are self-employed.

The large city I live in is now converting its old sodium lights to new LED lights. Instead of a soft yellow glow, the LED lights are a hard blue light, and so bright that you can't even look at the lamps directly. Even a quick glance burns your eyes.

Perhaps they use less energy, but the color, not to mention the brightness, is deeply unpleasant. I've wondered how these new very bright LEDs will affect wildlife and insects. Not positively, I think.
Just return the usual "please confirm registration by clicking a link in the email" - in the e-mail you just notify the email owner that someone tried to create a new account while another account was already registered for this e-mail. This does not disclose anything to anyone other than the owner of the e-mail.
I love podcasts, I love livestreams (archived, mostly - I rarely have the time to sit and listen live), yet this whole concept doesn’t appeal to me. It seems to want to combine half of the concept of Discord (IRC with voice chat) with the atmosphere of a conference, spontaneously. Maybe given time people can find the organisational backbone to make it happen but that sounds like it would kill the spontaneity and also probably the mass appeal goal.

I remain a luddite in this regard but I still hope they make it fun and popular if it’s possible. There’s rarely much new under the sun nowadays.
It gets even weirder when Brent (an expert in Haskell and math, both of which feature infinite sets!) expresses concern that he'll have to add infinite sets to his language, as though that wasn't totally obvious from the start.
This is a concept that Neal Stephenson took to the extreme in his novel Snowcrash: After the breakdown of the federal government, the rise of corporate franchising, individual sovereignty and burbclaves (quasi-sovereign gated communities).

I think I'd prefer web browsers to understand LaTeX, or a similar open and free as in both liberty and beer standard. Maybe SVG for webpages with URI remote resources would be a good alternative, just something else.

I do love simple webpages with minimal resources that don't get in the way of my own preferences and device rendering needs in their quest for pixel perfect publication. HTML and CSS are supposed to be meta-languages that describe to a client how data is structured and simple style elements (that might get over-ridden!).
People do show (on-topic) things they are proud of on HN, people regularly share their own stories, and not just bad ones, in reaction to submissions. Not really life news, no, but still positive content.
That really depends on whether you are using raw PHP or a CMS, CMF, or application framework. If it's any of the latter you should check with the development team. In many cases there are some great tools already provided for you by the frameworks, or there are helpful conventions that make things more efficient.

If it's raw PHP I wouldn't want to compete with a lot of great SO results out there, but you also have to take into account circumstantial matters, like whether the given approach is appropriate to the needed output or input you are dealing with.

For this reason I'd recommend arranging for some kind of code review even if you ask online strangers for input.
The thing I find oddest about that, is I always hear about the Telluride, but the Hyundai Palisade rarely comes up. I couldn't figure how they could differ enough to cause such a disparity. I assume in reality, Palisade pricing has to be similar, right?

Now I say that, but I also think I can answer my own question.

Mainly, I would say I'm hilariously confused by how Hyundai positions Kia and Hyundai. Like on paper it I thought that Kia is supposed to be the sportier one, and Hyundai (nominally) luxury.
But when I was shopping, both had really confusing trim levels, and Hyundai was especially odd because you really had to trim up to get what I would call a luxury car, leather upholstery was the big one.

The marketing seemed to try and paint Hyundai as like refined style, but the actual car features of the two brands just made me hella confused.
I think it's safe to say Hyundai/Kia made a lot of strides, they could use some work there.

My understanding is that that's decomposition followed by combustion of the decomposition products (free radicals).

Looking at the electron density around the C-C bonds gives some hint as to why they're stronger than they look. In general "backbone" single C-C bonds are pretty tough; there's a reason double bonds are always the attack sites, if they exist.
"How could this happen at all"

...have you been to Victoria? In the past twenty years?

Forgive me for getting defensive, but as someone who lives here, you don't know what you're talking about. The days of the "home of the newlywed and nearly-dead" stereotype are over (maybe except for in Oak Bay). We're a solidly medium-sized city, the capital of BC, with multiple universities, significant naval presence, a booming population, and strong tourism industry. And also one of the most expensive and desirable housing markets in the country.

And FWIW, I'm not sure how going for decades without money is more feasible in a cultural hobbit village, whatever that means, than anywhere else. No, it makes sense that he can do this in Victoria because we have the best year-round weather in the country and lots of support available for the homeless.

I just noticed a '86 toyota truck on CL going with an asking price of $28,000.00

I noticed it because I like their trucks, especially the 22r/re ones.

It did have less than 30,000 miles though.

The price of that truck is no more than 5 grand, even with the low miles.

(Anyone looking for a ride, I have this tip. When four door vehicles are aging out of what Uber demands, they price of the used vechicle goes way down. Look for vechicles that have aged out of the app, or close to it.)
I can't disagree. I probably should have put more effort into clarifying it, though that probably would have made it a lot longer. Still, I think you'll find it rewarding to work through it to understand what it's saying. You might try thinking of the examples of the phenomena it describes that I should have included—and counterexamples.
I think there are another two reasons not mentioned in the article. One is the surge in electric car sales, many people are still on the fence and want to wait a year or two before they decide if they want to move to an electric car. That's why they don't sell their own car yet.

The other reason is that in a certain time during the last 20 years there was a sweet sport of car reliability when cars were not too sophisticated but also got rid of all their childhood deficiencies and they can simply go forever. All those corollas and their ilk are just there and not going anywhere so people has no reason to buy new cars instead of those.

Ask HN: House prices going up cause of software or people
Wonder if the house prices are being worked up not by people but companies or may be just the software. I have been looking at the prices and one of the common trend is that the sites like Zillow present with their estimates ( Zestimates) which are always higher than the listed prices. Given that Zillow is in the business of buying(directly) and selling (via listings) it works in their favor to estimate the price on the higher side. Now the listing price which was already higher seems to be a better grab since the zestimates are much higher. This kind of software guided projection is always going to push the estimates on the higher side as per the existing/past slope. Wonder if all this is another kind of ponzy scheme going as like last real estate bubble.

The education market in Brazil has been on a strong consolidation trend in the past decade, having a few institutions owning the vast majority of students being approved in top exams (IME, ITA, federal universities, medicine).

I realized early on the sad reality that the ones getting approved weren't really paying the bill (80%+ discounts for promising candidates), while struggling students trying for the third consecutive year were closer to full price. It felt just and meritocratic when I got in the special few, but the selection bias for privilege was tragic: almost all of them were rich. Yet another wealth transfer from the poor to the rich.

I hope this marketplace will undo the consolidation trend and lower the prices a bit, but I won't bet on it.

Metadata is leaked only to your server and to the server of the person that receives the email, just like signal. The only difference is that with email you get a maximum of 2 servers while with signal you get one.

There's three concerns I have about this, the Cantri measure as it's applied.

One is that it's one question. Just one question to summarize your life.

The second is that the ends of the scale has always seemed sort of odd to me: "he top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you."

Someone who is depressed is probably going to shift a bit in their evaluations of the top and bottom. That is, someone who is visibly and diagnosably depressed will probably imagine a worse best possible life, and also maybe even worse worst possible life. So you could be pretty darn depressed and still rate yourself as moderate. If your options go from "depressing" to "unmentionable hellscape" you could still rate yourself as a 7. Are most people doing this? Maybe not, but it's an odd way to frame the question and leads itself to that.

The final concern I have is how many of these are on the phone. If someone randomly called me on the phone to ask, would I go there even if I was really depressed? Probably not.

I guess I see these results as pretty interesting but really difficult to interpret. It's like trying to gauge global ocean temperature changes from one temperature reading in your local bay.
