Oh, it obviously isn't simple, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to abolish slavery and let women vote, I couldn't agree more.

But imagine stepping out from your time machine to 1860 Richmond, VA, I don't think many people would agree with your first point, that now seems so obvious.

It's a sign of the immense cultural progress we made that you can now state your two points as truisms. Let's not forget that there was a whole war fought about whether your point one holds value or not - more than 600,000 people were killed trying to find an answer to this question (almost as many as died due to COVID in this country so far).

Our cultural values will continue to evolve, things that are heavily debated today will seem as plain as the two points you raise are for us today.
Even though Mr. Kan has since retracted this statement after Atrium failed I think it still stands:

Or, the fact that you don't really know a particular gun fits you until you buy it and use it for a decent period of time. I have 6 different semi-automatic pistols because it's hard to find the right fit. Personally, it takes me 1000 rounds or so, plus 8+ hours of draw practice to feel comfortable with a given platform. Finally, selling used guns kinda sucks so I just end up keeping them.
I'm going to get down voted for this, I realize it isn't for everyone... If it's not for you, no problem. Let me know what you prefer.

Anyways, try golang with imgui.

You can make imgui look like anything. Ontop of that, you get true cross platform binaries with native speeds with only a couple dozen lines of code and amazing dependancy management. If you've never done immediate mode front-ends, you'll be delighted.

Seems interesting enough and probably technical enough for the HN audience.

I ran into this user's comments a while ago and was instantly suspicious. If you browse through the comment history it becomes fairly obvious that no human is typing in these long-winded runon sentences.

However, at the same time, some of the commentary looks on-topic enough to be written legitimately.

Is this a bot? A person? A combination?

>only works if parent had presented the solution as something that shouldn't be difficult

Sort of like presenting a decades long journey of politics as:

>Become a member of Congress and marshal support for a bill.

Or telling people they should just:

>Gain some hard political power to make or break laws and policies.

Because it certainly read to me that the parent is grossly understating the effort, time, commitment, and luck required to just "become a member of congress" and wield "some hard political power to make or break laws".

They make it seem like tomorrow I can walk into Congress and get to changing laws by Monday. Hence, where's the rest of the owl?
In the US, that is decent. My wife's job (non-tech) offers a month at like 75% pay I believe.
Two things: In Zulip, you can't not have threads. Threads in Slack are an afterthought and the UI actively tries to prevent you from using them (they're a narrow column on the sidebar and you can't see everything), whereas in Zulip they're a first-class citizen.

The second thing is that Zulip's UX is fantastic. You can zoom in and out of conversations with a single keystroke, and the UI is responsive and does exactly what you want. Slack is so slow on my new Ryzen that I frequently out-type it, and half my keystrokes end up interpreted as channel-switching keystrokes, so I end up having typed something random in a random channel instead. Fuck Slack, sincerely.
I once had an interviewer wax poetic about fizzbuzz, the multitude of ways to solve it, and what he considered to be the most elegant of answers after I gave him a solution. I was sitting there thinking "I think you've missed the forest for the trees here buddy" but just smiled and nodded.

The whole situation is quite pathetic.
I think any tool can find a hobbyist use. I think the developers could go even further – ask business customers to use the Startup tier or above.

They could even offer the exact same features for Hobbyist and Startups and differentiate them by the declared purpose of use only.
Accessing geo-restricted content is a minority of the VPN advertising that I come across. Most of the VPN marketing I see is a combination of "security and privacy", "online banking", "hackers", "private data", "snooping ISPs".

I don't care if companies try to insult me with their pricing (I'll gladly buy the "hobbyist tier" if that's what I need), but please, just publish pricing.

I hate when pricing sheets say "Call us for pricing" - just tell me outright, are you charging $5 a seat or $500 a seat? I'm not going to call or email to find out, I always assume that "if you have to ask, you can't afford it".
EHS (electromagnetic hypersensitivity) has no scientific basis whatsoever. There have been blind studies that show no correlation between such exposure and supposed symptoms[0], so anyone with symptoms might only have a subconscious psychological response to knowledge of being around EMF.

Everything in the real world is quantum state but that doesn’t stop every SaaS application out there from using an RDBMS as their system of record. This is why we have reconciliation processes.

Hmm that does sound like the hobbyist tier. Depending on the tool, I'd go for predictable costs if it's a business expense unless it's part of the money maker plumbing and really needs to scale to unexpected demand...

If you can be competitive with peers and get enough done to continue progressing in your career with every Friday off, why not? The limit for me has always been my own productivity (and availability for meetings), and I think at a certain role level it's a reasonable expectation that you be measured in outcomes and not time spent at desk.
First, the "we" that I was referring to was "we as a society" and, more specifically, "we as technologists". As in, how can we create a technology and social norms that both encourage a fact-based narrative while being resistant to political manipulation.

Also to your specific example of the election, a lot of people who spoke out fairly quickly against the fraud information were operating on the factual, auditable information that both sides were presenting their data to judges of various persuasions around the country, and the judges were virtually unanimously concluding that there was no case. And then various recounts began coming back, likewise concluding that there was no fraud.

I don't know what standard of evidence you think people should have spoken out at. But that seemed at the time to be a reasonable level of evidence. And it still does. The judges in this case were literally a collection of people chosen to be trustworthy, with varying political alignments, who were making informed decisions on the basis of more data than I have, and consistently came to the same conclusion.

A similar kind of thing for fact checks would be a standard that I could be comfortable with. But it has to be similar. A collection of independent people. Chosen on the basis of methodology. With different political alignments. And it is only when they broadly agree that we are willing to impose rules.
Fauci himself told The Washington Post that mask supply was a motive back in July 2020. So, it was a combination of two factors as you rightly point out. Thank you for correcting my omission.

“We didn’t realize the extent of asymptotic spread…what happened as the weeks and months came by, two things became clear: one, that there wasn’t a shortage of masks, we had plenty of masks and coverings that you could put on that’s plain cloth…so that took care of that problem. Secondly, we fully realized that there are a lot of people who are asymptomatic who are spreading infection. So it became clear that we absolutely should be wearing masks consistently.”

> I've been working two years without promotion, bad Atlassain.

The reason you took PTO doesn't really matter, work either got done by you or it didn't. The one the that did the work got promoted, pikachu face meme.

Yes, the wife's diagnoses sucks a lot, and you should probably get PTO in some way, but the promotion points are just weird.
I am a solo tech founder. I am fortunate I suppose that my product is something that fills an actual need. I get about 125-150 people to the site organically every day, with about 25 people logging in, and then 1-3 people putting down their credit card for a trial. I feel like I did the real hard part and that while a marketing person might be able to hep increase these numbers, that if I keep on refining and bettering the product, I will solve for it myself. Maybe I am delusional, but at least I am having fun doing it!

It seems to me that, at least speaking for the US, there is a massive demographic that is becoming increasingly skeptical and weary of "big tech", and VPN companies have targeted this demographic with panacea solutions to stop big tech's ability to track you, etc etc. ExpressVPN has been all over the air waves in conservative radio.

Although I don't mind people practicing safe hygiene, little do they know a VPN has very little to do with big techs ability to actually vacuum up data about them.
Yeah it is. The guy had a rabid cult following much like Musk does today. He had many financial victims with poorly engineered products.

He made a very valuable contribution to the industry however.

People have rose tinted glasses about it but the reality was products not turning up, not shipping, not working and a sour taste for many against technology.

He even bought faulty RAM in which was discarded for the Spectrums and sold the ones that booted.

The only reason it worked out for a lot of people is we have pretty strong consumer protection laws here!

To be completely fair, there were significant upgrades to the networking stack in Windows 8, so you probably got more support for your 10Gbe switch than just the motherboard change.

Between 8 and 10, though.. yeah. The only reason to upgrade between those was if you hated 8 (I loved it on tablets/phone, not on desktop).

There are many Microsoft-hatred-driven reasons to not upgrade from 7 to 10, but lack of progress in the underlying OS is definitely not one of them. People confuse the shell with the OS all the time (and yeah the shell is atrocious and gets worse every iteration), but it's not the entirety of what makes a Windows version.

NB: "shell" here means the thing hosting the UI (including Explorer), not a unix shell.
Reminds me of this: "best price (for the company) is the one where customers complain, but are still buying"
I think the simplest counterpoint is Britain. The US Second Amendment is a direct descendant of the British Common Law right to bear arm. And Britain is arguably our national parent with a similar culture and history and a modern pluralistic culture. They effectively ended their right to private gun ownership in the 20th century to the point that it's now extremely difficult to procure one and there are very few guns owned per capita. And their homicide rate is less than half of ours. Same goes for Australia and several other first world democracies. You can at the very least say that rate of gun ownership has no correlation with gun crime. And quite possibly that it correlates directly in that more guns leads to more gun deaths.

So, personally (subjectively), I don't find it admirable at all. Freedom is a good default option, but I see America's gun culture as pretty sickening.
A lock screen without full disk encryption is security by obscurity. Change my mind.
Disagree. The JD is limited by the legal realm, but should strive for moral outcomes.

In this case, is there a more moral solution that remains within the realm of legal? Perhaps not, but I'd like the JD to try, since the proposed solution strikes me as allowing the Sackler family to profit massively off immoral activities.

IMO (as a layman, not a lawyer), I'm unclear on why a corporate bankruptcy settlement involves immunity for the Sacklers. If we are not allowed to pierce the corporate veil, it should go both ways. If they want to keep their fortunes, they should remain open to civil suits. Alternatively, they can forfeit the vast majority of their fortunes in return for immunity from future suits.
Depends on how you define 'winning', really. If 'growth at all costs' is your metric, then sure, Facebook is winning. If 'adherence to original vision' is your metric, then you could argue that Facebook went astray a long time ago.
