Here are some examples of people that were banned/suspended, and one that was not.

[1] Dr. Zelenko of the Zelenko protocol fame

[2] Alex Berenson, formerly of the NYT, for raising the vaccine lack of protection issues, and for merely posting Pfizer test results [3]

[4] Dr. Martin Kulldorf, Epidemiologist, for stating natural immunity from previous infection superior to vaccine. Later proved correct by Israeli studies which proved natural immunity superior via "Interestingly, CD4+ T cell responses equally target several SARS-CoV-2 proteins, whereas the CD8+ T cell responses preferentially target the nucleoprotein, highlighting the potential importance of including the nucleoprotein in future vaccines" [5]

[6] Facebook suspended users for casting doubt on origins which later became more credible after the US government gave it more credence [7]

I think a big part of the problem is when BigTech tries to become the authority on information, and is often trailing the data from authoritative sources, or, incorrectly inserting itself into scientific debates in order to prop up a prevailing line, for which there may be weaker evidence.

[8] Jon Stewart was not banned or censored when he raised some of the same covid origin logic problems. I am not sure if this is because he is quite funny, or, it may have been viewed as a comedy bit. However, he did receive a large amount of flak from the left.

Why is it a problem? If they were charging more than MSRP and still move the cars, it means that the market values the cars at a higher rate than MSRP and someone can make money off of the difference - isn't that the whole point of capitalism?
> Carbon-cost wise, it should be seen as a luxury.

Virtually every meaningful part of our lives is a luxury.

Your profile mentions you are a musician and artist: many many people in the world would consider your choices as unnecessary luxuries. In some parts of the world you would be deprived of your choices for the good of others. Surely we could even find people that would judge your art and music as a negative worth to the world.

A world where we only work for the minimum needs necessary to survive (food, shelter, etcetera) would not be worth aspiring for.
Why don't you stick with HN guidelines and keep politics off of HN?

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

Fucking liberal douchebag.
Intuit is a sleazy company. This doesn't bode well for MailChimp.
How do I get some monero? I've only ever bought crypto with the consumer-level apps and know nothing about mining. (Original article isn't loading, in case it has any info in there)
Or we recognize the fact that the United States has a system of government that is Unique in the world, we also have a culture and demographic that is Unique, as such many of the policies that would apply to say a EU nation can not work the same in the US for a wide range of issues from constitutional limitations, to cultural ones...

The rush to make the United States in to a EU nation should be opposed IMO, if I wanted the laws and regulations of the EU I would move.. I have no desire to be subject to the rules of the EU nor do I look to the EU for guidance of how things "should be done"...
I don't think it does. The two camps are very anti-each-other, and they don't have a lot of nuance for what beliefs get you to your side. In fact, in 99% of my interactions, they don't know how I arrived on my side.

I think it's more likely to be divulged by talk about the president or presidential candidates.

I don't think this is true of highly rational people, but I do think it's true of most people that I encounter.
This doesn't work very well in the common scenarios such as:

- you are not using Linux

- you need a newer version of the library than your distro provides

- you want to use a package that is not popular enough to be packaged by your distro
I really want to like Monero but I've had one of the worst crypto experience using the official desktop client.

The app crashes randomly, hangs, and worst of all, refuses to send transactions using a hardware wallet when running as a full node.

The hardware wallet is only able to sign transactions when connected to a remote node, which is much worse privacy wise.

Monero needs much more developers & funding to succeed.
Have you thought about hosting your own F-Droid repository, like NewPipe does?

To this day I think the touch sensitive keyboard of the BlackBerry Passport is absolutely revolutionary. Not sure if they just licensed it or created themselves, but I loved it. That was probably the one thing I loved about BlackBerries, and perhaps the touch gestures - no button and all, it was such a pleasure to use.
Zcash has to have privacy enabled by the user. It’s not automatically private. Monero is automatically private.
hahahahaah!

do you even read this website?

Dood, you're asking about right-leaning? You can't even be a centrist in tech.

These people are *insane*.
Monero sounds great as a starting point since it can theoretically mimic an in-person cash exchange as far as anonymity is concerned. But to encourage adoption we need to be able to do more than that.
Is it possible to design a "chargeback" mechanism on top of monero? What if I want the ability to allow an intermediary to arbitrate a dispute between me and the other party?
No kidding. Worst company with their "advanced" tax software like proseries and lacerte. Try klavio.
Write me a sentence that won't get 1000 reports if viewed by 60 million people.
Can anyone comment on raising investment for software projects that might earn on the order of several million dollars but with no real potential to become 'unicorns'?

Where does someone look for smaller business ideas like this (which may have a higher probability of success, lower earning potential than typical startup targets, less initial capital required)?

Not everything is improved by adding a profit motive. Privately run prisons are not exactly renowned for reducing recidivism.
Just to chime in with the other experience- due to a bout of mono, I had to repeat 7th grade. I was already young for the grade, and as we had just moved stateside, I was having trouble integrating socially.

The repeat year was the best thing that could have happened to me. I was finally with my age-peer group, was appropriately socially aware, and just had a better scholastic experience across the board for the rest of my early education. I completely agree that much of early education is simple life experience, and it does the academically-gifted students no favors to push speed at the expense of everything else.
That's really interesting and insightful, thanks.

But if I can offer a suggestion, it sounds like you were blocked by proofpoint while actively trying to spoof legitimate traffic in order to avoid detection by proofpoint. That's hardly "no reason at all," despite your having the best of intentions.
http://Pilot.com (no affiliation but I've worked with some of the people there) is directly trying to compete with QuickBooks on QuickBooks playing field. Problem is, QuickBooks is the standard in the industry, like Adove Photoshop or Microsoft Windows in the 1990's. Square has the advantage that they already have the data, but then they don't have the same incentives to compete on bookkeeper tools.
I'm not on Twitter, but I am pretty active on Reddit. I think the manipulation is particularly, egregiously bad on Facebook.

For example, I'm not sure how I got bucketed in the "anti-masker" cohort, but over the past couple weeks I've noticed that I'm pushed a torrent of articles along the lines of "Look at this brave person serving the school board!", showing a person going on a rant about how masks are the work of the devil and how great that is.

I kind of like it, because it's given me a window of "the other side" of my social media bubble. I think the thing Facebook is particularly nefarious at is that, the way the feed works, it makes it seem like of course everyone agrees with you, except that idiot crazy uncle who you eventually have to unfriend, because all you see are seemingly "random" posts that enforce your own viewpoints.
Don't forget about sub-publishers and admins, who represent the original publisher in certain territories!
Very probably. That's why I said "not as full" :P

That's like being worried about using the Internet in 1995 because of indirectly supporting porn.

Remember, the Internet is only useful for porn and cat pictures, right?
You can buy it from Kraken.com, for example.
Yes, I understand. That's why I'm specifically asking about the advantage of Monero vs when shielded transactions are used on Zcash.
> rather them maximize profits rather than decide to actually take a stance in manipulating society

That is manipulating society.
Interesting take on services, Tesla do provide all these services test drive, financing, repair, warranty, trade in
It's pretty much C-specific. Packages for other languages tend to be pretty difficult to work with when installed this way (e.g. you end up with problems if you have 2 projects depending on different versions of the library)
Yea but this works, what, once? And now the manufacturer has to deal with the things the dealer was doing like customer service, hiring sales staff, training technicians, etc.

“Oh don’t open a Chevy dealership, in 6 months they’ll come in and undercut you”. And then there it is. Either you don’t open a dealership (fine) or the manufacturer builds a reputation for not undercutting dealers (also fine).

IMO the law was protecting special interests from the start. This is an example of poorly regulating capitalism.
I probably could have quoted it, but I was referring to "giving them good fulfilling lives is hard and expensive." Absolutely the captive nature of assisted living makes any transgression worse, but I guess underneath my unintentional irony there's a grain of truth in that they aren't trying to give them those lives anyway, they just want them to be easier to manage. In a certain sense it's a maiming.
Time to be “that guy”…

“Nation state” is a well-defined term in the political sciences, and we misuse it here on HN all the time. To quote Wikipedia:

“A nation state is a political unit where the state and nation are congruent. It is a more precise concept than "country", since a country does not need to have a predominant ethnic group.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_state
I've tried using Monero because of it's supposed privacy features, and found that the official desktop gui clients is completely unusable. I'm not just talking usability and design issues -- I'm talking random crashes and freezes, if it manages to launch at all. When I brought these issues to the dev team, I was basically told to fuck off.
How should logarithms be taught?
Sure is, I'd go one step further, if you can't stand having your karma hidden from you (via self-imposed adblocker rule) then you are still addicted to the social network feedback loop and somewhere making compromise for it.

Am I missing something, or is Jekyll still receiving fairly active contributions[1]?

Even by that (misleading) metric, it doesn't seem to be dead. Expecting maintainers to tilt at the newest windmill instead of actually maintain is a critical part of why so many in the open source community burn out.

Possibly a side effect of biased data collection.

"... I had gone to a house party in Montgomery County. There were 15 adults there, all of us fully vaccinated."

"... Then, I started to hear that a few other people who had been at the party were getting sick. Then a few more. At this point, 11 of the 15 have tested positive for COVID."

"... The CDC announced in May that it was only going to collect data on breakthrough infections that led to hospitalization or death, which are fortunately rare."

Has it really been tried? I know individual restaurants have tried it but I can understand customer confusion when one place includes the amount by default but most don't. I think you'd need to do this across a reasonably large geographic area, such as a complete city, to give it a proper test.
Still seems poorly captured by "if it compiles, it works", no? The point was this was marketing, not a statement of principle. Rust needs to do more of the latter and less of the former. The time for marketing was years back.
Right. Hell, Tesla will even drive to my house to fix things if they can. I’ve never had a Honda or BMW dealer do that.

And yes this just shows those services are valuable, and likely at reduced costs as well.
So I tried. The link you give just gives you a link that says "read instructions specific to your browser" and when I click that link I just get "instructions not available for such and such browser." The instructions do not have to be specific to the browser. Why doesn't brave just implement OpenSearch?
Good technology alone isn't enough to lead to adoption. Tiddlywiki, imo, is the best personal blogging tools. It is a static site, it got an embedded editor, it got cool concepts realised like transclusion, among many others. Go ask around, I bet hardly anyone talks about it. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

When using SES, you cannot set FROM header to anything. The FROM has to be either an whitelisted email address or a domain that you own and verified with SES.

When forwarding email, we are receiving email from unknow domains. If we rewrite the FROM headers then the DKIM will invalid, so service will have to rewrite the FROM and clear out DKIM.

This is a well-known SES issue and project has to work around https://github.com/arithmetric/aws-lambda-ses-forwarder

```
For example, if an email sent by Jane Example <jane@example.com> to info@example.com is processed by this script, the From and Reply-To headers will be set to:

From: Jane Example at jane@example.com <info@example.com>
Reply-To: jane@example.com
To override this behavior, set a verified fromEmail address (e.g., noreply@example.com) in the config object and the header will look like this.
```

We want to forward email as it is and retain everything so we have to run our own postix in order to do that.
That’s possible, and probably a better idea if you’re optimizing for comp.

But there’s a lot to be said for staying to work at a company you love and enjoy, especially if your compensation is already enough for a very comfortable life.
Monero looks like the best crypto for crime, so probably the most valuable crypto in the long run.

Does he have family members any of you can contact?

They might be more willing to intervene than friends.

This is pronounced crisis and there may be more at stake than reputational damage. (Financial risk, risky sexual behavior, drug abuse, etc.)
There's a default rate (percentage) that gets used in the event of an audit, I believe.

If you are somewhere that tracks your individual sales, you'll get hit with this.

To be fair, the rate is pretty low and so almost everyone will still have a large percentage of their tips go untaxed.
It is explicitly for the benefit of YouTube.

It is possible to make a non-antagonistic system that complies with DMCA: Respond to the takedown upon receipt and give account holders an easy path to restore the disputed content under fair use or for invalid claims. Then the originator of the claim can use the normal legal process and Google is off the hook as a safe harbor. Google doesn't want to do that because they're in bed with the media companies to get favorable treatment on their paid services.
Hmm, anecdotally, 1h at 720p is like 600mb, where 1 hour at 1080p is 2600mb (for me, I assume it depends on encode settings like you say).

Terrible advice.

I could have spent three years writing and reading and working on interesting projects, instead of enduring the sociocultural hell of high school.

That - right there- is exactly why this person and most others need to be in high school, so that you can learn how to deal with your peers once you're all past puberty and starting to sort yourselves by definitive skills, talents, and motivations while you still have enough pre-adult protections and guardians to let you make mistakes. Because learning the subtleties of adult interpersonal interactions is crucially important for success in work, romance, civic life, and adult friendships. Running away from all of that just because you are not mentally stimulated enough in math or art class is a pale excuse for not facing your social emotional deficits as a budding adult. Academic enrichment is MUCH easier to tack on than proper socialization from school.
Under DMCA 1201, this sort of measure would probably be legally considered DRM. All you need is a technical mechanism that controls access to a copyrighted work. You do not need obfuscation or encryption in order to make 1201 claims.

Whether or not GPLv2 precludes a DMCA 1201 claim is still in question. On one hand, the GPL says you can make whatever changes you like. On the other, the Linux kernel module loader is specifically enforcing GPL's share-alike requirement, which is a predicate of the right to make modifications to the kernel. This is the heart of what DMCA 1201 is trying to do: extend copyright protection to software that enforces copyright.

If Linux had been re-licensed to GPLv3, this wouldn't be an issue, because v3 specifically has a clause intended to disclaim any and all construable technical protection measures under DMCA 1201.
To expand on this a little bit, non-default privacy means that use of privacy features becomes de facto suspicious activity, thus rendering them useless.

Another issue with Zcash is that it had a trusted setup, which is not an issue Monero has.
I could say I don't support or believe in tech censorship, vaccine passports, virtue signaling, BLM, critical race theory, white guilt/privilege and that I don't believe that trans women are women.

However, I suspect that it's true that an employer would not approve of that, and that right leaning beliefs or believers don't get a fair shake in this climate.

So I think it's best to not be open about and say such things. 80% of your paycheck is to do the job, and the 20% is to not have any opinions or sexually harass anyone.
It is actually quite hard to make a GOOD physical keyboard, BlackBerry has this tech down. Any BlackBerry clone (I had a couple before ending on BlackBerry, Nokia and Samsung).
Titan pocket exists though, gets mixed reviews I believe but overall being 'not too bad', which is different than the love BlackBerry phones tend to get.
If only there were a formalism where the programmer could specify how the values are used before the program is ran. But since there isn't I guess we'll have to have the runtimes do this.
I worked at a small startup that got acquired by Intuit. It killed the company culture, the products and just sucked the life out of us post acquisition.

Intuit is the slowest, most comfortable dev dept I've ever seen. Everything takes forever to get done. Even small projects take 3-6 months. They would ask us for a feature and budget 6 months and we would have it done in 1-2 weeks.

At first they looked at us like rockstars. Then their culture started getting into our organization and we slowed down to their level. Everyone left when they wanted to move us out of our cool downtown offices to a space in one of their big suburban office parks, way outside the city.

Almost everyone left when that was announced.

TLDR; Intuit is an awesome place to work if you want to hide, do nothing and get paid a truckload of money.
You can mine it on your computer with some software (e.g., https://xmrig.com/ is popular but not the only option). Then you typically join a "pool" (because your little CPU is just a drop in the vast ocean of compute power hashing away and the next Monero block). The pool will pay you a little bit of Monero, based on your compute contributions to the pool.

They pay the Monero to your Monero wallet, and then it's up to you to decide how to use it. Whether or not mining is financially viable (e.g., electricity cost) depends on a few things. You can use a calculator/website like whattomine.com, cryptocompare.com, coinwarz.com, minerstat.com, etc. to get a rough idea of your potential mining profitability.

I used to hold Monero, my issue with it is that it's main use case of anonymity aids the anti-crypto story of crypto being used for money laundering or other illicit activities.

Except that’s explicitly not how the free market works. Employees would be paid at the rate their services clear at in the open market. If you’re paying more than that, it’s because you want to attract people above the average/ clear.

That's a weird, loaded, and hard to answer question. It's subjective, and equally in your favor as it is out of it. Politics should have no bearing on your success in the tech world, and if it does then I think you're participating in politics wrong. You can't be openly political anywhere without expecting repercussions, especially now. This concept of "can you be conservative in this" and "can you be liberal in that" is all about setting these self-fulfilling prophecies that only serve to redouble your own political beliefs. Be smart, and stop trying to make other people accountable for the way you behave.
