U really think that random company has resources to check fakiness of mouse movements ? Besides, you can bring entire thing in the sandbox that leave 0 traces on local machine after it is turned off.
Money-printing has enriched a cohort of corrupt central bankers and their cronies such as politicians. I don’t expect them to give up a policy that has unjustly enriched them for so long.

Luckily we don’t need their support for Bitcoin to work. Bitcoin operates on the game theory that offers individuals a choice to save in a currency that cannot be manipulated. Over time, more and more individuals will choose the better money.

I think this is key. The opt out must be as easy as the opt in. The common practice seems to be press "ok" to opt in. Then click on "more information" to opt out. But "more information" takes you to a Byzantine click through maze. If it were legally mandated what the allowed language and also graphic design language for this was then much of the problem would be alleviated.
Why on earth would I labor for free on someone’s vanity project, no matter what utility it provides otherwise? And why would a company pay a person who has already shown he or she does not value their own labor in that way?
I'm not really sure what your criticism is, to be honest. I'll just microanalyze my comment and hope it ends up responding to your point.

The passage I posted is basically just, "X is limited, adding more people will lead to X shortages, let's find a way to use X more efficiently", with X replied with water. The implication of me saying this is that you can also replace X with land.

Obviously, I could have just said "let's just build more housing, then immigration won't lead to housing shortages", but I think that's a less interesting comment. By instead using the passage, I've done 2 things: pointed out that other people have thought about this issue (in another domain), and encouraged a few people to look up Dune, and maybe read it.

Would your criticism apply if my comment instead said "let's just build more housing, then immigration won't lead to housing shortages"? Because I think that form has equivalent content (in terms of the underlying message), so if it doesn't apply that form, I don't think it applies to the current form either.

I dont really think that the article title matches the content of the article.

Writer re-affirms that the phrase "you cant outrun a bad diet", and re-iterates that supersize by itself wont make you thinner since its obscenely difficult to burn calories faster than you can consume it.

Article title seems to be bait for people who refuse to take agency in their own body weight
"[...] are much more violent [...]"

You want to argue that one extremist group is less or more violent than the other? Well, you just made my point :) Both extremist groups are scum. In the Netherlands we don't solve things with violence but with conversation. And yes, people do listen. Please do not think we are like the US, we do have healthy conversations and a government that does listen (sometimes :) ). Calling for violence from a public stage, urging people towards violent behaviour has nothing to do with tone policing, it is simply forbidden by law and people will stop listening to you. You might want to read up on the "Poldermodel", which is very much part of Dutch politics and society.

Please do not mix up the US culture and history with that of the Dutch. In the US, colored people who have been for generations in the US get discriminated on skin color. I would argue that discrimination on skin color in the Netherlands does exist, and yes, the change of Zwarte Piet is slowly being done. But discrimination is much more happening on a cultural level, which is even harder to deal with. People with a Moroccon, Turkish or Hindu background don't always find their place easily. And no, by saying that I don't mean that discrimination on skin color is any good.
> The premise of "both" arguments is that open source maintainers are being exploited.

A lot of the business models that are exploiting OSS and OSS maintainers are very much parasitic. I think industry needs to be reminded that the first rule of being a parasite is "don't kill the host." That is what is happening as companies monetize open source and then don't support the team creating and maintaining the software they are exploiting.
I'm sure many folks here spent their Friday, Saturday, and possibly even Sunday patching, and won't speak up in case their profile connects to their company.

Friday mid-afternoon a Google search for the exploit showed there were many websites in several languages giving instruction on how to exploit the vulnerability. This is hitting hard and fast.

Exactly. The point is that a really motivated person with an automatic rifle and that same person with a butterknife represent completely different levels of danger.

It's transparency that tells you whether that $31 Billion is an actual surplus, or whether there are huge off-balance sheet liabilities hiding in that state budget -- e.g. future pension obligations and the like, as well as mandated spending on other initiatives, or long term contracts signed by the state which require spending.
I agree with Elon Musk that immortality is actually not great, and would instead lead to a static dystopia. New generations need a chance to put their own stamp on the world.

In regards to your comment about the welfare state being a pyrid scheme, everything. It's why a shrinking population can keep a welfare state solvent.

Not true. Modern installation systems like are now universal in new buildings in Europe mean toilet install rates have indeed gone up.

Buying TIPs is risky because like you said you’re basically allowing the government to determine inflation. They’re not linked to real inflation.

That's a political hornets' nest that you're poking there.

There is Pinyin, the official romanisation of Mandarin Chinese, in which for example "汉语拼音" becomes "hànyǔ pīnyīn". So, one could write using that. The argument typically is that Chinese has too many homonyms to make that practicable. I'm not sure I buy that, as spoken Mandarin is presumably intellegible, despite those homonyms.

There's a lot of info in the informative book The Chinese Language: Fact and Fantasy by John DeFrancis, and on this website: http://www.pinyin.info

> But surely writing speed must be slower.

I've found that that is not the case. While a typical character is more complex than a typical letter, you need fewer of them. At uni, I tested that with a native Chinese speaker and a native German speaker. We chose several random English sentences, they translated them into their respective language, and then we timed how long they took to write them down (by hand, in Chinese, German, English). It was basically the same, no systematic difference.

> How do chinese people even type?

There are several input systems, some based on pronunciation, some based on the shape or strokes.

Its also detectable, don't be naive - I can record your desktop to see that its a bot movement not a human one easily, even more easier then having an obscure tool that I can reimplement within hour for a given job (and hence its just random script, for example in PowerShell which is not something you can't have on Windows). AHK can even simulate human making it almost impossible to detect a bot (switching windows, focusing elements, moving mouse to focus whatever etc.)
As they should, from all agencies involved. It is absolutely horrifying to see Tesla do this open beta test on public roads when no other non-Tesla entities (other cars, pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists, etc) consented to being a part of a reckless experiment.

Moreover, Tesla influencers on social media tend to cherry pick and show only the nicer parts of their FSD Beta drives where no incidents and disengagements occur. Whereas you will often see in the comments some Beta users disagreeing and often showing the scary bits. And of course the pattern of Tesla influencers acting like an echo chamber absolutely disagreeing with anything critical of Tesla, jumping to Musk's defense at every turn because..."My mission!". An example:

Elon Musk has a history of overestimating Tesla's capabilities when it comes to autonomy. And also flouting regulations to reach the end goal. He wants to make people believe in the illusion that Tesla are in some unsurmountable lead when it comes to autonomy but they are actually playing catchup and are dead last because of the approach they took.

Here's a timeline of Musk dangling the carrot of full autonomy (SAE Level 5) for over 6 years now.

But people argue, "Oh, but they are getting better and eventually will iron out all the edge cases!". This is not a matter of just making some settings change and things magically fix themselves. These are safety critical systems and not considering edge cases while advertising the feature as "Full Self-Driving" can lead to fatalities. The edge cases don't seem to be finite and no amount of "Dojo will solve this!", "The system is learning more and more and will reach there!" will solve the problem with their approach. At some point, he will have to eat humble pie and incorporate more sensors to increase safety. But with the ongoing chip shortage and the fact that they have to sell as many cars as possible lest the stock promotion crumbles makes it an even harder task.

It's always some next version that will blow your mind. It's always the next version that's almost there.

I'm going on a tangent, which is extremely useful products like non-plastic coffee packaging that are not well developed and marketed because of X problem, and expounding on X and its solution. It's a comment in a discussion forum. It doesn't need to meet some extreme level of rigor when it comes to topicality IMO.

When was "inflation a conspiracy"? Citation? The only conspiracy theory I've seen are anti-government folks claiming that the government was lying about the current inflation rate, which has been shot down repeatedly.

We've been talking about inflation since 2007 and just about everyone has been concerned for a LONG time that the fed keeping interest rates low meant there was basically no way to mitigate it. There was never a question or a debate that inflation was going to happen, what was and still is up for debate is what that inflation means for the average American. The supply chain crisis is currently a far bigger issue to the average American than inflation.

You have some land usually right in rahnewali, that is not usually the case in America or land is not something you can live off of. In very rural South like around Lake Charles people do live off land but that is very low cash income and they are not spending/earning much and mostly bartering. That land is also fragmented from generations so landholdings can’t support all family and many leave (I don’t know how it is in J and K with the state land act being reversed now)

1. I wouldn't object. But employers would have to kick in money too, and some may not want to because that could potentially effect the bottom line. With (US) 401(k) (CA: RRSP), it's up to the employee to contribute and many don't so that saves companies money.

2. The listed pension funds are not for working specifically for the government, but are for more publicly focused aspects (health care, education). But there are other options, like folks who work in (e.g.) the food industry (supermarkets):

Realistically you have three options:

- ignore Winui3 and do it in WPF (fewer controls, deprecated, actually works)

- do it blind in XAML, possibly with the aid of a piece of paper. Or the "live view" in VS if that works. (Live View is the suggestion given on the github issue for "designer doesn't work", fwiw)

- do it in the UWP designer, then s/Windows/Microsoft/ in the control namespaces
Fiat currency inflation is theft.
Asking for a raise works for me and you since we have pricing power, but what of those less fortunate? What about those on minimum wage, or fixed salaries or pensions or welfare? They don’t have the ability to continuously increase their prices to match inflation.

TL;DR your solution works for the most in-demand workers in society but it causes greater and greater income inequality over time leading those who are most vulnerable to fall further and further behind.

Show HN: AlterClass – A platform for making and selling programming courses
Hi HN! I'm Greg, solo founder of AlterClass (https://alterclass.io/), a platform to build and sell better programming courses with no restrictions and a fair-revenue sharing model.

I'm a software engineer who got into creating programming courses back in 2019. I wasn’t
satisfied with the resources I found on the web to learn and master React.js, so I decided to build and launch an online course to help people learn everything they need to become successful React developers.

However, I didn't want to develop a video-based only course where students would be passive, just listening to me and reproducing every keystroke I type on my keyboard. How can you learn a skill as practical as programming just by watching hours of video of someone coding? It's like trying to learn how to drive a car only by watching someone else driving. It doesn't work like that. Programming (or any other technical skills) requires
a significant amount of practice to really acquire and master the skill.

So I came up with a project-based course that included a ton of practical content: quizzes, coding assignments, mini-challenges, real-world projects, and more. The problem is, creating such a course takes time, let alone building an audience and finding customers. Plus I had to build my own platform to create the course content and host it. I couldn't find any affordable (with a fair revenue sharing model) and easy-to-use tool out there that could help me with this.

After spending months building all of this, I realized how much work it was just to launch one course. But I was more than ever convinced that students want and need more than just video-based or code-along courses to learn new skills. The natural next step was to work on building a platform to make this much easier.

So, I built AlterClass, a modular and easy-to-use platform for creating and selling your programming courses online. AlterClass lets you build engaging and interactive programming courses using diverse blocks to compose your lessons without being restricted to a single format. You can choose between quizzes, code snippets, embedded coding environments, videos, rich-text articles, and more. Then, it provides support for getting paid for your course once it is ready. AlterClass instructors receive up to 100% of all the sales wherever they come from. Plus, I never alter your prices and never run any promotional campaigns on your courses. So you keep most of the revenue for yourself and the control over your courses.

You can also fund courses with pre-orders before they get released. Coming soon, you’ll be able to host them on your own domain.

About the tech stack, I’ve built the platform using React / Next.js, NextAuth.js, Tailwind CSS, FaunaDB, and Stripe. And everything is deployed on Vercel.

You can use AlterClass for 14 days for free (no cc required): https://alterclass.io.

My goal is to help developers create better and profitable online courses and save months of work in the process. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Any feedback is much appreciated as well!
I think this analogy is almost correct, but it's better to think of crypto as owning a deed to land. You can in fact hold on to it and trade it, but at the end of the day all you are doing is changing the name on the deed. The land stays the land. You can put a house on it (store tokens), or you can build a factory (smart contracts), but the only reason why it has any value is because some other person may want to put a house or build a factory on it. Land has no intrinsic value because it can never truly be owned. It will outlast us all.

Fashion is well known to be cyclic. Design is just a subset. Look at the current fashion trends that mimics the 90s and early 2000s and you will see the same parallels.

My theory is that fashion is largely driven by what art people were exposed to when they were young teens. Once they reach a point in their career where they have influence, they try to reimplement it. So kids who cut their tech teeth on skeuomorphic design are now designers themselves and are trying to bring back what they first loved. That is why you see a cycle time of about 20 years.
