I always find it odd too pay for content with more restrictions than the “pirated” version. Though honestly I stream now. I used to strip the drm of iTunes shows but when that got broken I stopped buying..

The only trouble I see is that streaming service use those metrics to decide which shows to not cancel and that way of watching doesn’t get counted. (I have a bad record of enjoying many shows that didn’t get renewed… still grumbly about the dirk gentley)

Ask HN: What tools make using Windows more bearable (for Linux folk)?
I've used Linux exclusively on my devices for years,
and it's been great! It's hard for me to articulate
how wonderful using an OS that's part of an ecosystem
(FOSS software) that favors user freedom over profit has been.

But a situation has come up that forces me to use Windows
again, so does anyone have suggestions for tools that make
it more acceptable?

There are some things I imagine I could search for like
something to stop forced updates and built-in ads (looking
at you Candy Crush), but I would love to hear about tools
I wouldn't even know to look for!

(PS, Before I make anyone angry, I'm sure there are plenty
of people who prefer Windows to Linux and find it quite
bearable! I mean no disrespect, use what you will.)

>What in such a scenario gives the impetus to the charitable interpretation (that they simply could not get tickets)?

Did you read it? It says: "Kim knows they probably didn't exclude her on purpose" — that is the impetus, and more importantly, it is exactly the kind of thing that should be tested for here. The wrong answer is asking Kim to mistrust her own knowledge; not trusting your own knowledge is obviously a cognitive distortion. The other advantage of expressing it this way is that you evade any situation where the reader gets distracted by overanalyzing the specifics of the justification, which are not the point.

So I find the question to be worded reasonably and to accurately check for a cognitive distortion.

>Secondly, while intentionality can be important, why is there so much weight seemingly being placed on it these days (or is that just my perception?)

There has always been a lot of emphasis placed on intentionality in morality. That's why we have Latin phrases like mens rea.

>One could drive drunk without any intention of anything bad happening and still get into an accident. One could fire a gun randomly into the air with no intention of harming anyone and the bullets still come down and hit someone.

We have specific laws for these exact situations. You might not have intended to harm anyone, but you must have intended to break the law. This has the advantage of not punishing people for unintentional actions.

Ask HN: Joining a startup right after fundraising?
I received an offer from a medium-sized startup with equity grant based on a recent round that might have just been finalized, and is not publicly announced yet.

The current round 10x the valuation from last round six month ago. I am worried that the valuation can be inflated because it is a crypto startup. The investors clearly wanted to get in, but I am not so sure about taking the same risk as a new employee.

Would appreciate any advice on

- how to negotiate the equity grant? Have people seen startup offers to be based on previous valuations instead of the current valuation, assuming the fundraising is very recent? (Of course, I am not thinking about the valuation from six month ago, but there might be reasonable recent valuations before the current round)

- If I can't negotiate up the equity grant, should I hold off from joining for a couple months? My thinking is that the valuation is unlikely to go up even more in the short term, but maybe it is irrational to think that the risk for joining a startup is highest right after fundraising?

True, it's a difficult proposition.

Currently the status quo is that tech people like me just exclude themselves from it. We can block ads very effectively, download video content with the ads removed etc. I see so few ads now that it really surprises me when I do get one.

It works for me but it's not a solution for society as a whole. We can already see adblockers becoming less effective as more people adopt them and ads are being served in different ways by companies like AdDefend.

But personally I don't mind the status quo, it works for me. Fixing the problems of society as a whole is not my problem.
I haven't heard many people say they miss it since it's gone. I sure don't, and back then I would get UberX most of the time when Uber Pool was available. I've been avoiding getting in a situation where I need to take Uber and Lyft and using public transit most of the time and it's much better.
That's true, but we must work with the hand we're dealt.

1. We do not have the political power to ban the cars to clear the traffic until people already ride transit.

2. People will not ride in sufficient numbers unless it dodges traffic.

So yes, there is nothing materially wrong with surface-level transit, but we can't make that work until the cars are already gone...so we are stuck building more tunnels, viaducts, etc.

Light rail right like this fundamental is a salve, or yet another feel-good government service for the poor. But it doesn't help us change mass culture, nor can it easily be reformed into something that does.

Now, I should concede Pre-metro / Stadtbahn is not dead end, and allows for an incrementalist approach that is not just slapping band-aids. But you still need to put the urban core underground to have a beachhead, and to my knowledge only San Francisco of North American cities has a light rail that does that.
Presumably, the submission can trace some lineage back to the link below, where John Walker of Fourmilab had this to say of Elon Musk:

Without more context, Kim WAS rejected. They got some tickets, just not enough. So Kim want in the "in" crowd to get the tickets they did get.
That's completely missing the point. The point is that the tech boom after the .com bust came as a result of tons of startups (Facebook, Netflix, Google, Amazon, etc...) leveraging commodity hardware and open source software to build their infrastructures and businesses instead of relying on vendors like Microsoft, IBM, Sun, etc... It's about how they became big and the forces that allowed them to grow, not about the fact they still sell proprietary products.

EU 'tech' companies are like the slow-moving 'enterprise' companies that still buy from MS, IBM, Oracle, etc... Instead of leveraging what's out there, taking some risk and building things themselves they just do the 'safe' thing. Likewise EU investors play it too safe as there's too much generational wealth whose goal is to preserve said wealth.

That's one way to solve the problem.
Real talk: are people saying they wanted this to be secure? If we are going to do this "vaccine paperwork to do anything" regime, I wouldn't want it to be some super secure mechanism that had digital proof of personhood provided by some government entity with an unhackable key! This key size frankly seems like the perfect balance: it took some months for someone to get around to breaking it, and then it took some months for a service that used that cracked key to become popular enough to make a real impact on safety, and maybe maybe just maybe soon we won't need this anymore, and none of these existing digital records will be trustable... and, if we are stuck doing this for another year, we should roll another weak key. (If nothing else, if you make an actually secure mechanism that ties a person to their vaccine record with a signature, you just know that tomorrow some WorldCoin-like company is going to try to use it for some stupid crypto "airdrop" ;P.)

The Beginner’s Guide to Link Building
Links are the currency of the web. The websites that have plenty of them are deemed “authoritative” and are rewarded with high rankings in Google. While websites that don’t have any are bound to obscurity. If you’re just starting out in SEO, figuring out link building can be quite a challenge. Some SEOs will tell you to create great content and wait for links to come naturally, others will insist that strategic link prospecting and targeted email outreach is where it’s at, and someone else will give you a cryptic smile and drop just one word: PBNs. So who should you listen to? As with many things in SEO, the correct answer is: “it depends.” There’s no single right approach to link building and your choice of tactics will largely depend on your industry, your website, your resources, and your goals. Did I just make things even more confusing than they already were? Worry not. We created this link building guide with absolute beginners in mind and made sure that it’s full of actionable advice that you can start implementing right away. WE put together a comprehensive guide to link building for beginners.
You are factually incorrect here.

It's grade separated pretty much all the way north to Northgate and beyond. (Which opened this year.) Northgate, Roosevelt, U District, UW, capitol Hill, all the downtown stops are all separated in tunnels/elevated rail.

It's at grade only in parts of SODO and South Seattle. The bulk is separated. Even when not, it takes priority at crossings and has it's own lanes that are rarely shared with cars.
The is another example that is missing context. Both statements can be true. Bob might have done a good enough job for the boss, but not for Bob.

And thus getting a larger bonus or something

> what are you trying to say

I'm saying this is my bread and butter, and I've seen the same pattern in every company I've crossed the doors of. It's no made up scenario when a team of contractors have spent 12 months building out some service, not a single person will have given a damn about costs, so cost optimization is purchased separately. The contractors aren't wrong nor is the business wrong, nor is this pattern unique to cloud spend.

Then surely you will understand how an entire subindustry can exist to mop up after engineers who could otherwise 'simply' avoid most mistakes if they just spent more time Googling.

From my observation having visited several different/diverse locales these past few years, the diversity isn't as much of an issue...compared to the actual competency of the participants. In Malaysia, the main three races are Malay, Chinese, and Indian. Because they are a Muslim country, official positions in government as well as academic opportunities and positions are limited based on religion, which usually means race as well. How is this relevant? Well, now the economy of the entirety f Malaysia is on par with Singapore, their tiny breakaway neighbor to the south. You see, Singapore has roughly the same demographics as Malaysia - but without racial/religious limitations on individuals pursuing their careers - in the Civil and professional space. The difference between the nations now is profound. I likened it to running a race, both countries participating, yet one nation tying the legs of its two most competent runners together, so that the third runner would be able to keep up - within the realm of his own nation.

Another example I can think of is the race distribution in Latin America, the countries which are more diversified are generally less prosperous, perhaps its the culture in general but the differences between a country such as Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic - infrastructure wise readily observable - are not so nuanced. The inhabitants of these countries acknowledge this as well, even residents of one hoping to emigrate to another - for a better quality of life.

Cancel culture and PC propaganda targeting the youth and conflating emotional senses of fairness and justice have obscured basic observation of measurable facts. The ultimate result of the current policy in the U.S. will undoubtedly result in a lower quality of life - from the top down, as a result of sacrificing competency for an equality agenda of misconstrued tolerance.

There's nothing stopping you from doing this aside from regulations in some locations. Some people off grid will run heavy gauge wire throughout their house and use appliances found in mobile homes, as many of them are significantly more power efficient but cost more. They connect them to banks of AGM batteries and charge controllers connected to solar, wind and sometimes even low volume hydro. You can find hundreds of videos on youtube of people doing this. This is especially useful if you freeze some of your foods and have spotty commercial power. The battery banks and other sources will fill in the gaps where commercial power is not always available. High current DC connectors are becoming more standardized and more available on more devices as more people are turning to inverters and battery banks. Using devices designed to connect directly to batteries saves having to buy expensive inverters, sometimes.

As a Canadian, I’ve had maple syrup less than a dozen times in my life. It plays no part of my life, or my families or friends. So the fact that it’s tied to Canada is strictly a foreign marketing thing I think. I actually have less association with maple syrup than I do with the clubbing of baby seals controversy which is zero as well.

I get a kick out of seeing all the maple syrup products at YYZ or YVR but you never see those same products anywhere inside Canada. Something like Hockey is more genuinely a strong Canadian passion but maple syrup is practically nil except to the maple syrup producers.

The Kinesis Advantage keyboard [1]. The height of the keys in each column are different because, well, the length of each of our fingers is different. It’s so naturally comfortable that it goes unnoticed and one’s fingers just fall into the right position. Placing one’s fingers offset left or right is so obviously uncomfortable that it’s basically impossible to have off-by-one typos. There is a lot of subtly well-designed ergonomics to this keyboard (though also some not great bits—looking at you, function row).
