I agree with this. In the same way internet is synonymous with Facebook in some countries, I think any kind of niche community defaults to congregating in a subreddit. Sometimes I'd even describe HN as a subreddit focused on tech and entrepreneurship to describe it to people who don't know much about it.

Subreddits are almost different websites with different moderators and different cultures. HN is now one of the only forums I consistently visit. Otherwise subreddits dominate this method of topic-focused discussion.

Yes it had been getting worse, but I think there is a limit to “find relevant results” anyway, Google is good for objective answers, but for more complex stuff, there is an more and more answers, the web nowadays is overwhelming

At some point it starts reaching personal preferences as well, and just tracking me like Google does is not good enough for those filters, not to mention privacy concerns

For example, many many times it happens that I read an awesome article about a subject, then weeks later I try to google it back to show to a friend, and I simply can’t find it, because there is a gazillion other articles about the same topic

That’s why I’m building a custom search engine, where you index whatever you want, your bookmarks, your Twitter likes, building your own brain’s search engine

Stay tuned!

Thanks for the link, it is always a pleasure to learn from Ken White. The right to free speech (fortunately) seems to have evolved significantly since World War I! It would appear that the modern test to determine first amendment exemption is Incitement to Imminent Lawless Action and was established in Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969 [1][2].

*
Advocacy of force or criminal activity does not receive First Amendment protections if (1) the advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action, and (2) is likely to incite or produce such action.
*

From that quote, I think it is pretty clear that the posts from Marjorie Greene would not pass the test and are thus eligible for first amendment protection (if Twitter was a government entity).

Caveat: Not an American, just a curious neighbour to the north.

Overall death rates are highly affected by age distribution in the population - the proportion of 80-100 year olds in your population in a given year is going to have a big impact on the death rate that year.

Death rates for an age range (like 18-45) are likely to be much more stable.

Also, pretty dubious about that specific dataset - it looks like it includes linear interpolations between a much smaller set of actual datapoints, so not sure you can use it to infer the actual distribution of death rate statistics
Open rate should really only be affected by the content, though it's possible the platforms have different deliverability/spam rates.
> There is no equivalent on web1.

Of course there is. If the service offered is not just access to some data, but things like computational power, access to a game server, food delivered, etc. I put up a payment system, and unless its used there is no access to the asset.

What form that payment system has, and what tokens it accepts USD, EUR, BTC, Seashells or Sliced Bread, is completely irrelevant.
Yes, German visa requirements are the fault of the UK government. Because before the stupid fucking UK government made the UK leave the EU, there were no German visa requirements; that's totally caused by stupid fucking Brexit.

> Nothing stops the German government from relaxing visa requirements if they choose to.

The world would be such a better place if it weren't so that the less people know, the more sure of their supreme knowledge they are.

A) Yes, the EU Schengen agreement on internal and external borders stops the German government from relaxing visa requirements.

B) You know, the agreement that was one of the main reasons for Brexit, so all those horrible foreigners wouldn't come and take British plumbing (and lorry-driving!) jobs.

C) So Britain makes sure the foreigners are really "foreigners" and not "fellow Europeans" who are allowed in as a matter of course any more... But the German government is supposed to make sure Brits are still "fellow Europeans" who are allowed in as a matter of course and not really "foreigners"? Because a few posh British students are so much more important to Germany than a cheap labour force to fix Britain's clogged toilets, clean Britain's dirty floors, and give Britain's elderly their weekly sponge-bath were to Britain?

Can't you even hear how preposterously entitled (in addition to uninformed) you sound?

I had a Curve 83xx, it was great. I had a qwerty keyboard phone a few years later and it was terrible in comparison.

Whether the issues with the 83xx are glossed over between both it being my first phone which had practical utility beyond phone/sms and nostalgia, or if there was something particularly good about it, I'm not sure.

I do know that Microsoft should have bought RIM back in 2008, it was their only chance to compete in the mobile market, the blackberry was actually popular in a way XDA etc wasn't.

RIM lost because of stuck-in-the-mud boomer IT departments locking down so the CFO couldn't play candycrush or angry birds on his phone, and Microsoft had a similar mindset back then, so it likely wouldn't have work. Instead CFO buys an iphone, then tells IT to make email work with it, and it's gone. It was the embodiment of the star wars "tighten your grip and systems fall through your grasp" phrase.

You could disprove it by finding the non lab animal it came from. For instance with SARS 1, pretty much as soon as they looked they found it had come from palm civets at the local market so no one was hypothesising lab leaks on that one.

I don’t think anyone should eat meat, outside of those who cannot survive otherwise. That’s almost nobody though.

Any suffering that animals experience by being farmed which is not strictly necessary for survival, is totally unnecessary, and I think unnecessary suffering is wrong, regardless of the species of the victim.

> I began to notice some time ago that Google basically disregards my query, and fixates on the lowest common denominator.

Which is funny. Google beat other search engines in the early 2000 because it actually did find what people where looking for, not what the "search engine" wanted people to see.

Now it's more and more the latter, I imagine because it's more lucrative for Google to display the results advertisers pay for...

That's really the product of the lack of competition in the search space. Nothing more. Why should Google bother? It would take billions in VC for a competitor to truly threaten Google dominance on search.

Same with Youtube. Youtube straight out doesn't care anymore about search terms and will just show some results Youtube "cooked up" for the user, unbelievable...
Google is likely inclined to return higher quality ad results, than high quality search results.

Clicking on one makes them money, the other does not.

Look at the percentage of the initial search result screen that is devoted to ads vs organic results.

If you can do it without them you’re better off. You’ll own more of your business.

Some businesses simply cannot operate that way (e.g. require a large cap ex) and so do need the outside money; for them the trade offs are worth it.

If you already have significant traction and really can grow 10X in two years (where 10X isn’t 200K->2MM) then there should be plenty of investors interested, if you know where to find them.

Ask HN: How important is a domain in 2022?
Back in the day I recall [PG posted][0] that having a .com that was the same as your company name was essential. These days I feel like almost every decent domain that is reasonably short and also naturally means something related to one's product is taken. The options seem to be to create a new word, use a name unconnected to the product, or use a get/try/join prepend. Or spend quite a bit to get a premium domain.

In looking for a startup domain, about 70%+ of the domains I've explored are just parked with a domain seller.

In early startup stage it seems crazy to spend extra money on a domain, but then if you start brand-building, you might lose that work if you change the name later, especially in B2C.

There are a few examples of companies that don't have .com but most who have an alternate domain end up spending $$ to buy the .com later.
I'm curious from those who have either bought a premium domain, started with a different name, or chose a random word in order to avoid buying a premium domain, what was your experience?

The subject of building code seems vast. How can you get to the point where you even know what you don't know?
You just went from concerned citizen, to person with anger management issues lashing out. If your thoughts here were in good faith, you would help the author learn about code compliance so that he could make the necessary modifications and learn about the real-world consequences of not being in compliance. Instead you're making a threat to send code enforcement after him so that he can be punished for being ignorant. Please try to re-evaluate the feelings you have and ask yourself if there is a more positive, less harmful way to use those feelings.

Sounds like you have a local dealer that's transparent and (relatively!) honest. From other posts it seems that Ford can't necessarily set the prices that the dealers charge...but what they can do is let dealers know that their allocations are at risk. In other words -- Ford can separately survey invitation receivers and find out what prices they pay. Excessive markups can be used to reduce allocations to dealers.
There are no “critical points”. These vaccines have caused a vanishingly small number of "serious" (i.e. serious enough that doctors need to observe carefully) adverse effects, mostly vomiting/fever, and from what I can tell all of those resolved after a short time. There is zero evidence I can see of any long-term side effects, certainly not in significant numbers. By contrast Covid has killed hundreds of American children and caused life-altering chronic effects for thousands more, and we still don’t know what proportion of those will resolve or when.

The same goes for older people (who receive a higher dose). The number of serious adverse reactions is vanishingly small, almost all of those are temporary, and the vaccine is several orders of magnitude safer than Covid. (Among older people the vaccine may have caused a few deaths, out of hundreds of millions of people vaccinated; by comparison those vaccinations have saved millions of lives and prevented millions of debilitating chronic illnesses.)

If you read expert immunologists, virologists, infectious disease epidemiologists, public health experts, Covid-treating physicians, etc., they are essentially unanimous in strongly advocating everyone get vaccinated.

Folks claiming these vaccines might be unsafe for children are either (a) ignorant/deluded, or (b) lying.

The segwit+bitcoin cash fork was a technically very complex situation. Miners loved the Bitcoin cash fork as bigger block sizes centralize the system (makes block transfer time longer, which makes it easier to do selfish mining and harder for small miners to take part of the system, especially through TOR relay). Read the blocksize wars book (I listened to the audiobook and loved it) for an in depth explanation, it’s awesome.

Also Bitmain was using covert ASICBOOST: the Merkle-Damgard construction allows reusing the first part of the SHA256 computation, but Segwit broke that unofficial internal optimization that Bitmain was using for mining.

In that fork companies and miners thought that they can change the verification rules, as many people are just looking at the chain with the longest proof of work, not real full nodes. What they didn’t realize that with Bitcoin people who are long term holders with significant amount of money understand how crucial it is to run their own full nodes to verify all the rules, and just use miners for deciding the order of the transactions (instead of the rules to follow as well).

I personally sold all of my Bitcoin cash the first time I could make a Bitcoin cash transaction and bought Bitcoin with it (which wasn’t easy, as it had problem with difficulty adjustment).

The market is working slowly: people right now don’t understand how difficult is to run their own Ethereum full node (I wanted, but it’s incredibly hard to even get a description of how to do a full verification from the genesis block).

The main problem with the altcoin ecosystem is that exchanges make money of people transacting altcoins instead of just holding 1, so people get into the altcoin casino, losing lots of money (I have friends who have done this sadly). Sadly market works by smart and patient people taking advantage over other people (I try to help people to stay Bitcoin only, but it’s incredibly hard with some people, especially men…my female friends invest less money, but hold much more patiently, and get rewarded).

Lastly about the societal collapse: it is happening with fiat currencies anyways. I see the current CO2 emission problem as a $10T-$50T problem, while the inflation of fiat currencies as a $500T problem. Bitcoin will solve the inflation problem in 10 years (it has a yearly 2x adoption rate), and I believe people will care more about the environment after they don’t have to worry about paying their rent every month while working off their ass.
