So then what if social networks capped the number of users at 1 below that threshold? For example, if nationalization occurs at 1 million users, what if all social networks limited the number of accounts to 999,999?.

Personally I think that would be awesome. Imagine if every town, city, and borough of very large cities had their own independent social network or networks.
I see a lot of people angry because how trivial the injection is supposed to be. But static::id is set with the following line :

static::$id = esc_sql($_GET["post"]);

And yeah, esc_sql() don't work in all cases (see here : https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/esc_sql/...) and in this case it's vulnerable.

But the author did try to prevent SQL injections, and misuse of functions happens sometime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It's not that trivial when reading the code. A Stored XSS Via CSRF is also far from trivial.

In conclusion, we all write bugs. Some are tricky. Don't be so angry !
The problem I have with "The Free Market" is that it is a platonic ideal. Going a step further, the whole concept of a Free Market was developed before the advent of the Network Effect and the kind of economy we have today. As such, I think defenders of the Free Market do not have adequate tools to address the kind of "monopoly" that Facebook/Apple/Google enjoy today because of their business models. Free Market competition works great on a small to medium scale. The idea that you have some competitive advantage and can capitalize on that works wonderfully, but not for things like social media and companies with a market cap of over a trillion dollars.
I'm not sure it's important that NASA be in charge of rocketry. The fundementals are well understood and private industry is willing to handle it, so why not? As long as the bus exists why does NASA have to own the bus?
I think the performance loss for a higher resolution screen would not be worthwhile here. The GPU in the Pinephone Pro is a lot faster than the original but it's a 6 year old design that is not exactly great by modern standards. And a lot of the existing software stack is not even GPU accelerated yet. 1080p would probably give quite noticably worse performance.

That sounds like some backwards causality to me. It seems way more likely that people own guns when the likelihood of murderous break ins is high, rather than the idea that the same break in situations are happening and they're just getting into firefights and losing.

> £19.99 per month if paid monthly, but £7.17 per month (as £85.99 per year) if paid annually.

As someone who's worked on pricing models, this speaks either to very little thought to pricing or a monumental churn issue.

A hefty discount for an annual subscription is generally something like 20%, and companies with good retention only offer ~10%.

Discounting over 50% if someone chooses annual either tells me (1) this company is low on funding and desperately needs the immediate cash flow, or (2) this company can't retain customers and is really lacking product-market fit.

Old YC would have absolutely helped the founders straighten this out, but it seems YC is now just a big cash grab and rolodex in the form of Bookface.

Right, again, not wanting them to make it at all is a different point. You were proposing that they make it free of charge.

(As for 'quoting you', it's called paraphrasing. I'd have hoped it was rather obvious I was not suggesting that you said those exact words.)
I mean, obviously you are technically correct (and, in fact, there are horizontal flight drones that are a century old... also technically "drones" and were called that a century ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_aerial_vehicle#Early_... ), but I really don't think the claim is misleading for most people, whose concept of "drone" is uncrewed electric multirotor.

The RK3399 is also in the pinebook pro and their higher end SBC offering. Linux support is fairly good especially since the community developed Panfrost drivers for the Mali GPU.

I've played around with a chromebook on the same chip and while ChromeOS is of course much more polished the Pinebook Pro is very usable.
Yep, that is definitely one of the reasons.

The other significant reason for putting a spaceport further south is the inclination of the orbit (angle of the orbital plane to the equator) is limited by the latitude of the launch site (without a secondary maneuver after launch). So for example if you launch due east (which gives the most advantage of the Earth's rotation) from Cape Canaveral, which is at a latitude of ~28 degrees, you will end up in an orbit with a 28 degree inclination. Launching further North or south you end up with a higher inclination either way. So in order to get an inclination close to equatorial it is easiest to launch closer to the equator. Its a bit hard to visualize but this article has some good explanations [0].

This article is a cry for attention, at best. I suppose yet another dev bought into the "you should start blogging to become a thought leader". However, it reveals character traits that won't be helping the author: shitty writing, ageism, negativity, and blaming.

Seriously author, you did not help yourself.
You’re the one that provided the numbers?

We’re on a SV startup website, where the comparison to cheap or not is of course going to be based on this.

You provided as a counterpoint to my statement on aerospace eng’s being cheap, data which shows median salary across all experience levels of the field being half the starting pay of a typical entry level SV software engineer - which typically requires no specific credentials, unlike Aerospace engineering.

If there is a large cluster of companies who pay 4x the median aerospace engineer salary to Noobs, then please provide said data. My understanding is those don’t exist.

SpaceX, a high profile name and maybe the closest to a SV type place you’ll get in the industry pays between $70-100k to their Aerospace engineers, based on multiple sites. Here happens to be a random Reddit thread about it in the first couple results.

[https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/engineering/co...]

Which is exactly the point I’m making. When a straight out of school software engineer has a whole section of an industry they can go to that will pay them 2-5x what an experienced aerospace engineer mid-point or even late in their career can make ANYWHERE (except MAYBE a one-off consulting gig somewhere), then aerospace engineers are cheap no?
Yes, apologies, didn't mean to imply that you editorialized it!

I was just commenting based on what I had already seen in the early comments: many people saw the title and assumed that the author is proposing something like boosting the grades of minority students, and started arguing from there.

Unfortunately, "equity" is a really loaded term in today's American discourse, and I believe the author made a huge mistake in using this word for their proposal.
I second this question. If they sold in the US, I'd have one.
i'm 38, about to be 39... and i'm semi-retired. built a great career around software and then got a bit lucky with investing... and now that's kinda on auto-pilot.

i'm actually trying to figure out what i want to do in the next 40 years of my life. i like building stuff and still have an exciting "tech startup" on the side.

i have 3 kids and so my focus is mostly on making sure they don't kill themselves... and get them to 18 and then pray. lol.

life is just as frustrating as it was before i was retired... the frustrations just changed though.
I'm not even American and don't live in the US, but I can't see why any government would undermine it's own national companies when they are big players in the international markets, especially when facing competition from (potentially) state-backed competitors. Breaking up utilities? Sure, they operate only domestically, there's little to lose in terms of power projection.

I would assume you can make reasonable design changes to fix those cases though? To survive motor failures more gracefully add more props. With a hexacopter you should be able to switch to four props if one fails. Or use one of those designs with for pairs of counterrotating props.
I think there's a difference between "depend on" and "use." Most everyone that currently has an iPhone or Android is going to use those features.

But for every Youtube video that I watch on my phone, I watch many more on my computer. I use my phone for browsing HN and Twitter, taking pictures, checking my email, and of course getting texts. I have a banking app installed, but that's not the reason that I have a phone.

I would have to post to Instagram from my computer, but other than that, I could use a PinePhone. Unfortunately, it looks like the only positive of the PinePhone right now is "free software." But my point is that it's possible for PinePhone to convince me by adding brand new features—they don't necessarily have to support every iPhone app to win users over.

> It doesn’t matter if renewable energy is built if that new energy is being wasted on cryptocurrency instead of replacing fossil fuel energy for something else.

yes it absolutely matters, because expanding the market of energy with renewable energy is unquestionably better than expanding it with fossil producers. bitcoin difficulty fluctuates with uncertainty in politics, demand for security and demand for the asset itself. when difficulty goes down - freed up energy can be used by other market participants and that will hurt profitability of fossil producers.

this is not bs argument, it's reality.

also, "energy is being wasted" is your subjective understanding.

This sounds like a misunderstanding: the point is that people knew getting vaccinated was right all along but rather than at some point they probably started to accept that their concerns had been overblown — likely supported by seeing so many people around them get vaccinated with no issues — but having taken a strong position earlier increased the psychological weight of formally reversing it. Here's a sentence right before the quote up-thread:

> They’ve made bad decisions earlier and now may be frozen, part in fear, and unable to admit their initial hesitancy wasn’t a good idea, so they may come back with a version of how they are just doing “more research.”

This kind of decision paralysis can last for ages unless something forces it. Nobody seems to be saying that the consequences of ignoring vaccine mandates aren't real, it's rather quite the opposite: you can come up with hypothetical concerns about any low-probability event but being faced with actually losing something you care about forces that to be put into perspective. It's similar to how a fair number of people worry about air travel but hop on a plane when the alternative is a cross-country drive — rationally looking at crash statistics isn't as effective for those people as the misery factor of a long drive.

> and online shopping for Amazon

Not just shopping, but also AWS. It is functionally impossible to use the internet and not patron Amazon because of the ubiquity of AWS. It's not a monopoly because there are technically competitors, but the sheer scope of AWS reach makes consumer choice a practical impossibility.

I do nearly all of my internet shopping away from Amazon, only resorting to it when there's no other choice. But nearly every website I visit is powered by AWS at some level, either directly (the site itself) or indirectly (one of the site's service providers). To my mind, this is something new(ish) that is monopoly-adjacent and needs to be taken a bit more seriously. Telling people not to use the internet, or to deeply audit every service they patron, is not a practical solution at all, even for technical users, nevermind the average non-technical user.

Many people are running an open-source re-implementation of the modem [0]. Neither the proprietary nor the open-source firmware for the modem are perfect, but the latter has the advantage of being clocked down to 100MHz instead of the default 400. This allows much better battery life, as well as giving off far less heat :)

He thinks that our confused conversations about god, free will, freedom, causality, etc mostly stem from poor definitions of these terms. So to have a useful conversation and valid deductions, it's critical to have 'correct' definitions of these terms - including freedom, power, etc. He starts every section of Ethics with a list of definitions. He's not only making metaphysical claims, he's also trying to set humanity up for have better conversations and understandings about god, society, and ethical behavior (hence the title of the book "Ethics").

Here's a good quote, wherein he's criticizing people's conception of God as the 'first cause' -

"So they will not cease to ask for the causes of causes, until you take refuge in the will of God, that is, the asylum of ignorance."

The quote makes pretty clear that he is explicitly rejecting the "God of the gaps".
This is personally my feeling of it too. I think the boundaries between us are illusory, and that it is all continuous and fuzzy. So a universal consciousness is no issue for me, one that is neither singular nor separate.
