Show HN: SimpleSub – Telegram bot for content monetization
Hello, HN! SimpleSub is a bot that allows you to create paid subscriptions in Telegram channels and make money on the content. After the subscription period, the bot removes the participant from the channel or chat.
This way you can start selling exclusive
content in your channel or participation in a chat.

I wanted to show it here and see what HN thinks. Give it a try and tell me what you think
I have never heard of fusion weapons research, or what they would even be. My understanding is limited but where I can see fission leading to weapons, I can't see the same for fusion.

Could you give some more detail? What form would a fusion weapon take? Is it about the laser technology?

Didn't read the article but the answer is because of collaboration. As soon as a task requires other teams involved, it becomes really slow and hard to coordinate and understand how something actually works.

A lot of the recent Fusion startups seem to be making worryingly unrealistic claims that make me somewhat skeptical.

Whenever they talk about putting a fusion reactor in a shipping container, or on the back of a truck that's a red flag. Any fusion plant capable of useful power output is going to have to kick out enough neutron radiation to need some pretty serious shielding that just makes that impossible.

Another problem is the way they often pitch the energy gain numbers. Q=1 sounds great, the output energy equals the input energy, but that's only the input energy required to maintain the plasma. The actual energy to power the plant and run the heat exchange system and such as a whole (Engineering Gain = 1) is likely to be about 22x that. Then to be economically viable in practice the gain might need to be an order of magnitude or more again.

React offers an unopinionated path for the front end only, thats not really Rails. I agree php has tons of momentum in Europe. Its also probable some people will get sick of it eventually and hoprfully Ruby is now a more viable option. Php is the most hated technology in the last Stackoverflow survey, thats pretty bleak. But yeah I tend to agree its mostly momentum based and Python and Node ate a lot of Ruby's lunch. To me Ruby is nicer so I am sticking to where I am happy.

Hate is hate and should not be tolerated.
My experience with that, often/most of the time, the one's who criticize others (no matter if it's a country, religion, human being, way of thinking, ... ) are not willing to take criticism of themselves at all. And that's the problem.
Right now, you see it at best with the demonstrations against COVID measures.
And most of the time, the ones organizing or participating in the demonstrations are far right nationals who cover their nazi-izm with the "we are a lot and we don't want".
But it's a lie.
It's solely a private agenda to "to catch the dumbest" and make the system break down in the hope of getting enough individuals together to form another form of state - like Hitler & NSDAP did.

Examples:
Musicians, a vegan chief, a few others, radicalized themselves up to hating EVERYTHING they relied on and used their whole life. Suddenly, the public social & health systems are bad (but they still want to use them), the government want to kill children with masks or vaccine (is it like that?), everyone's is a lier.. and so forth..

If one look deeper in that, one will see, that actually, they are earning a lot of money, which comes from the "believers".

Or, there was a incident last week, a 20y old boy was shot in the head as a sign of the protest against masks - just because he told the killer to wear a mask and it's mandatory in shops.

All hate need to be punished as hard as possible. The one's hating should be rejected by the society at the highest levels. No chances should be given.

It doesn't have to do anything with freedom of speech, when the speech is against a certain group or directed to individuals or is intended to destabilize something.

That's why we have wars, competition among nations, Putin & Trump, Nazis and ultraright & ultraleft parties.

The same can be applied to Israel as a country ruled by the ultraconservatives (who hate against others), to Palestine (who are not willing to arrange things and instead are openly saying, Israel must be diminished and have no right for existence), to the US and other supporters of the current politics, and Russia & Iran, Arabia, China.

We should all rejected that and do our best to mute the hate.
The ones who don't understand that, are already part of the game :)
Stick scaling left as an exercise for the reader.
Not sure I agree with this; I just don't see the weapon applications of fusion power... Also most participants are either already nuclear powers (US, EU, Russia, China, India) or could just build thermonuclear weapons already if they wanted to (Korea, Japan, etc.)

Or maybe you had completely different weapon applications in mind?
Thermonuclear bombs are fusion weapons (with a fission trigger).

Having relatively easily handled, high density energy sources would also probably lead to deployment of energy weapons.
I think the article has some good points about interpersonal comms and alignment problems and their solutions but doesn't actually mention some of the structural / political issues associated with really large organisations. For example, I have worked at or seen organisations that are actually loose groupings of 'cottage industries' (often called divisions or similar) that have separately evolved local solutions to problems (technical /commercial, etc) with a small centralised head-office. Moving between divisions is hard because they are running separate systems. Aligning their processes can improve efficiencies but can also lead to loss of local knowledge or inappropriate one-size-fits-all solutions.
One of my engineering bosses once said that the scariest thing in the office is to pass by a sales guy on a phone call who is vigorously nodding his head.
> Whether intended or not, the impossibly high paywalls of academic publishers only serve to keep scientific information out of the population’s hands. What makes this even more discordant is that the people being prevented from accessing the information are often also the taxpayers who helped fund the research in the first place.

> By framing the debate about Sci-Hub as one concerning property rights, both advocates of Elbakyan’s site and its detractors fall afoul of what John Gall called the “operational fallacy.” In his book The Systems Bible, Gall defined the operational fallacy as a situation where “the system itself does not do what it says it is doing.” In other words, what a system calls itself is not always a reliable indicator of its true function. In this case, the name of the “academic publishing industry” implies that it is supposed to be involved in the dissemination of scholarship. But the effective function of the academic publishing industry as it actually exists is to prevent the dissemination of scholarly work.

The author mentions his disproval of Elbakyan and her friends focusing on property rights, yet doesn't actually make a logical or convincing argument against it. Fail.

The reason Elbakyan focuses on property rights is because intellectual property is the most harmful thing blocking science today.

Intellectual property literally commoditizes and monopolizes collective feedback loops/learnings, disinheriting the working class.
I disagree on the 3D environment being inherently OOP. ECS, a popular paradigm in 3D and 2D game making, can map pretty well to functional programming.

I would pick Rust as well here but just because Haskell has exceptions and it has less emphasis on safety and less pleasant defaults than Rust. In order to get the Haskell I want I need several pragmas and a different prelude...

I would say Rust is pretty functional itself, though.

The headline is wrong to call it "misinformation", at least in something that's supposed to be a news report. Calling it misinformation is just expressing an opinion, which makes this an opinion piece, but this is not marked as such. That's expected from the BBC, which is an unabashed propaganda outlet.

It's censorship, it's dangerous, it's wrong, and it's not being done by the good guys. It's evil.

Not for long. I think they pissed off Republicans a tiny bit too much.

Sometimes users (including myself) have no idea why we're being downvoted. A downvote signifies something is not welcome, but what is that something? A downvote doesn't teach why.

I have been using HN since 2012, and have over 4000 karma spread over three accounts, but sometimes downvotes still flummox me. I think as long as a user seems respectful, a little meta discussion is okay in order to learn how to be a better user going forward.

Yes, some people are obnoxious and obviously toxic, and when they complain about being downvoted, they should definitely be downvoted more, but when a user seems genuinely curious, I think we should do our part to help make HN a better place by taking a moment to give a quick reason.

I've politely asked in the past in order to not make the same mistake again. I think we should give users the benefit of doubt.

> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

I think that last guideline should be changed to "Please don't complain about the voting on comments."
Thanks! My intent definitely was to make it a little bit chaotic =) I will try to figure out how to make it a bit easier to follow, heard some advice to space it out a bit possibly.

Neither of which was "don't work".
So would I. My heart rate rarely goes above 60 when sitting.
This is an often repeated claim, but I've never found it plausible.

The reasons this forum has remained under the radar for the majority of people are more likely related to it being hosted on a subdomain of a site almost no one has even heard of, it being called "Hacker News" (which immediately limits its mainstream appeal) and its content not being shared on popular social media sites outside of the population that already knows about it. Plus, this community has kind of a bad reputation in many tech circles, so many potential users avoid it like the plague.

The design isn't keeping anyone away - Craigslist has a similar low-res design and the mainstream has no problem with it. Old Reddit was similar to HN, and 4chan is even more arcane, and both have huge userbases.

The only people who ever complain about Hacker News' layout are its own users.
Why would you set an alarm for the middle of chamber music concert?
I tried to get people to record meetings and link them to features being discussed, so that working on a feature you can review everything that was said. IMHO it would reduce the amount of unnecessary conversation by 50% and save everyone a lot of time and trouble. The initiative failed, because not everyone was eager to give consent. Its their right, but I think if you dont want something to be recorded, it probably shouldnt be said at all in a work meeting.

The author of this piece frames this in terms of game theory. I honestly don't follow the line of argument.

To me, it's simpler. The people running the organization put the wrong incentives in place. No need to complicate with individuals playing one-shot games and then finding a way to a coordination equilibrium as a solution. In large universities at least, the problem is that most of the people running the outfit start as faculty or low-level administrators, and they move into high-level administration positions without any understanding of how to do their jobs well, or for that matter, what it even means to do their jobs well. Most do not care. As long as the higher paycheck keeps getting deposited in their account every pay cycle, they feel they are doing their jobs.

Just as the name suggests, the recommendations try to 'hook' you, and some people may prefer to purposefully navigate to videos rather than feel they're being swayed by a recommendation algorithm tuned to surface videos that might catch your eye and keep you watching, maybe for longer than you intended to.
> Or conversely all Govts at every level need herds of programmers to tweak OSS code to make it fit. My city is 10000 people so we need a rate calculator that matches our bylaws, over there is a city of 1000000 people who need a very different rate calculator.
>
> So every town has to hire a programmer to tailor some OSS program - but hey, we don't need every town to have a rates-calculator domain expert - we can say hire 10 of them between us, and split the cost.

Why would each town need their own? It's FLOSS, so it's perfectly feasible to have the state maintain FLOSS systems, in which case you'd just need a small team that handles this functionality.

> Yay, a central it dept, with builtin monopoly, at govt pay, can't be fired. What could possibly go wrong with this model.

When the alternative is a builtin monopoly, at govt contract costs, that can't be fired but can also hold the state to ransom with proprietary software, then that central IT dept at state level looks a lot more desirable.

In fact, the only difference between the two would be that the FLOSS systems would allow the state to invite different vendors to bid on and compete for modification of the FLOSS systems, with all the modifications open so that the state can switch to a new vendor if necessary.
Last I checked there are four separate access control mechanisms for S3, of which IAM (both principal and resource policies) is a single one.

Big mistake in the article to claim that a single engineer could build Amazon, Facebook, or Google. Amazon is the most egregious.

> . A software developer could write a simple e-commerce website in a few days; Amazon employs 1,335,000 people [source].

Those 1.4 million people are not coding the e-commerce app but making e-commerce happen as package handlers, drivers, finance teams, etc. on top of that Amazon has many non e-commerce related projects: building hardware (Kindles, Alexa, etc) , AWS and support, and on and on.
My phone number is already "out" in terms of being on the internet, and I can change it pretty easily if it became an ACTUAL security issue.

But it would be an interesting exercise to do, I guess.

> Lots of processes that were considered too wasteful suddenly become feasible.

I worry about this, too, but couldn't there be some positive effects here, too? E.g. what if it made desalination a lot cheaper?
The thing is though that higher pay, at least where I live, entails considerably higher taxes. "Fuck you" money is never going to be a possibility, outside of winning a lottery ticket or coming into an inheritance. Friends/relations I know who have at least a slim possibility of a comfortable retirement aren't necessarily those with high salaries - they've just been able to play the property market with sufficient skill/luck over the past couple decades juggling buy-to-rent mortgages & inheriting houses at the right time.

So I could jump ship for a 10-15% raise, my take-home after taxes would be maybe an extra few hundred a month. Nice, yes, maybe I can have a slightly nicer HDTV or slightly bigger apartment or stay in a nicer hotel when I go on holiday, but I'm still chained to a laptop for the foreseeable future, even if I save every penny instead of buying nicer things.

> These questions imply the onus is on reporters of problems.

Sorry, I did not mean to imply that and disagree with that statement.

The problems are what they are. Fixing them is not the job of whoever encounters a security vulnerability. Yet if you encounter one, you still have to decide what to do.

I encountered one in an Apple service a couple of years ago. Reported it. Never heard back. Vulnerability was still there 6 months afterwards, but I have better things to do than chase them.

The action I took was simply to stop using Apple's products. But that was probably the wrong decision in hinsight, since the alternatives aren't really better.
I absolutely have a huge problem with CloudFlare. They are providing services to KiwiFarms, which is responsible for multiple suicides. That is not how an ethical company operates.
How does this compare to Tailscale (the WireGuard-based VPN+ with great / "easy" UX)?
So this seems to based around the Texas Instruments ADS1299 chip, which is described by TI as:

The ADS1299-4, ADS1299-6, and ADS1299 devices are a family of four-, six-, and eight-channel, low-noise, 24-bit, simultaneous-sampling delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with a built-in programmable gain amplifier (PGA), internal reference, and an onboard oscillator. The ADS1299-x incorporates all commonly-required features for extracranial electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG) applications. With its high levels of integration and exceptional performance, the ADS1299-x enables the creation of scalable medical instrumentation systems at significantly reduced size, power, and overall cost.

The product page [1] further states that talks SPI with the host system (an STM32 in this project, nice).

US price for the ADS1299 on Digi-Key seems to be in the region of $50 in single-quantity.

I would ad busy work, stuff that isn't per she useless but not really needed right now. Easy to end up doing that instead of the really needed things, because they make you look productive while not being counter productive. Result is nothing advances. Usually people do that when the right-now things are hard and involve facing some hard truths. Even more so if that is implicitly encouraged by higher ups (management, founders...).
Thank you. And yeah it does not really work on mobile, but to be fair it's not supposed to. I only spend a few minutes on it to make it somewhat useable. As far as I know here are many other HN clones that improve the mobile experience, so I focused solely on building something cool for desktop/keyboard users.
Chicago Public Media to acquire Sun-Times under merger plan with WBEZ
For those not familiar with the US Midwest media scene: one of Chicago's two surviving daily papers, the Chicago Sun-Times, is in a deal to be aquired by the city's NPR affiliate, WBEZ, and operated as a not-for-profit news organisation under the Chicago Public Media umbrella.

This leaves the rather troubled Chicago Tribune standing on its own. Crain's Chicago Business is, as it says on the tin, a busines-focused newspaper also operating in the city.

The deal might pressage similar moves in other US cities with surviving print news organisations.
