I mean the NSA literally admitted in 2013[0] that the NSA had employees doing stuff like this just for personal reasons. The only real difference is where the data was gathered from and I'm not even sure it's worth differentiating:

> At least a dozen U.S. National Security Agency employees have been caught using secret government surveillance tools to spy on the emails or phone calls of their current or former spouses and lovers in the past decade, according to the intelligence agency’s internal watchdog.

> The practice [...] was disclosed by the NSA Office of the Inspector General

How to price SaaS, Need advice
I am building an online marketplace for service providers. The service provider will have the option of two profiles, basic vs. premium profile.
My current thoughts on pricing structure are as follows.

Basic Profile - Limited feature set - Free + transaction fee

Premium Profile - Full feature set - $25 a month + smaller transaction fee

How large should transaction fees be in order to not have vendors move off platform / be discouraged from working with us but still enough to make some money? What’s the sweet spot?

Should the transaction fee be taken from the vendor side or on the customer side as an additional charge at checkout?

Should there be a small flat fee put on transactions?

Any other things / options to do?

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated

This is terrible advice. Woe unto anyone who extrapolates from telemarketer interactions to their relationships with their kids.

Especially when the extrapolated practice is not to offer explanations for your thinking. That's how you end up raising a human who is conditioned to accept "because I said so" as valid in their intimate relationships.
I'm glad to see more of this conversation happening. I made reveddit [1] to provide oversight for secret removals which happen more often than you may think. For example, [2] is an upvoted comment from a mod-verified contributor that was removed, likely without notifying its author.

I wish reddit would indicate to the author when their comment has been removed by a moderator. I don't know if that will ever happen. It seems duplicitous to me to present your content differently to you than to everyone else (see the image at the top of [1]).

Why is it a "when" ? Most people are capable of using a computer or a mobile device to access government services, and for them it's much faster and easier ( and of course it also is for the government bureaucracy). The fallbacks should be the exception that works when needed, but digital services should be prioritized.

Yeah I agree, many of those are using some generic CMS like WordPress and not really knowing how to fully configure it or it is not maintained.

I am in a technical position in a community service agency, which is kinda a rare thing. Most rely on consultants to set up sites and when they are done the admin staff keep the pages up to date. Usually in those instances they rebuild the site every few years when it becomes unbearable.

Apple’s HyperCard was really the descendant of Xanadu, I think. It was taking off on the Mac in the mid-late 80s -sort of its secret weapon. It eventually became FileMaker, 4th Dimension, SuperCard and AppleScript. In addition to hyperlinking discrete pages of information (albeit contained in the same db), these apps could do almost everything JavaScript could on those pages, way way back in the 1980s —If only we had kept going with SuperCard in the RPC domain, finished the Windows port and have afforded to give it away for free (maybe paid by Apple to bundle it with every Mac). Part of SuperCard (Shockwave) devolved into Flash. But the core wound up in a SPAC with jacked management and is still going sideways. Over at Apple, with the official HyperCard source code and authority to make/break “players”, well that was all on Apple Employee No. 8 (who’s still fucking there!) Problem being, it’s the only job he’s ever known and he didn’t exactly play well with others, so Apple got down to almost going out of business and the world got NetScape, Internet Explorer and eventually JavaScript. SuperCard though, that was yet another boardroom blow it, both before Adobe and after.

One obvious-ish lower bound estimate would be an estimate of the energy required to pulverize a Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai-sized rock into a troposphere-height cloud.

Edit: It's not any kind of estimate but the before and after pictures of the first thermonuclear weapon test site look quite a bit like the images from Tonga:

That was coincidentally (and somewhat accidentally), a 10 megaton explosion.
Very good point, the physical labour we still see has survived 100+ years of attempted automation so is very resilient to it (relatively speaking). Whereas there is still a lot of office works that you can look at and quite easily think "there must be a way for a machine to handle that".
This is obviously wrong and should be blocked via laws, but just in case you're here and haven't heard of pi-hole (https://pi-hole.net/) taking internet-of-shit devices and blocking all the ways they try to access the net is kinda fun.

The Tonga explosion is more powerful than a fission bomb but the same magnitude as many thermonuclear bombs. Imagine multiple Tonga explosions over major population centers, and you begin to understand the horrors of these weapons
Might I suggest decompiling or disassembling the binaries to generate the sources. It's very time consuming but might be the only way to recover the sources if they are indeed lost.

It's been done in the past to recover lost sources.

>People were taking advantage

>I don't have much sympathy for the people abusing the system

I disagree with the premise that it's unethical to use a product I purchase and own from a for-profit company for a use that turned out not to be profitable for it. Note that it wasn't much of a hack; Sony sold consoles with the option to install another operating system from its menu [0].

Since the move was so unprofitable to it, Sony should not have offered the option to users in the first place. But since it happened, executives at Sony then just decided that it made business sense for Sony to disable the option in a firmware update.

I just don't understand the framing where it's as if Sony did a favor for its customers who then "took advantage," when Sony just miscalculated a business policy to serve its own self-interest.

Ask HN: How to get YouTube to stop offering me a free trial of YouTube Premium?
YouTube pops up an offer nearly every other day, even though I tap "No Thanks" (or "Skip Free Trial", or other permutations of "@#%!$, I Said No") every darn time. You'd think the big G would be doing something intelligent here like an exponential backoff.

I'm starting to think that the hope behind all this pestering is that I'll eventually fat-finger the wrong option, and then forget to cancel the service.

Is there any way to get whatever algorithm is targeting me to, well, stop asking? At least for a while?
They can't run on PlayStation, they can't run on macOS, on Linux is thanks to a compatibility layer they have no relation to ( it's not their desire for the games to run there). Furthermore the games aren't available in any of the cloud gaming platforms bar their own ( Xcloud gaming? Xbox Cloud gaming? Who knows, Microsoft probably don't). They're artificially limiting competitors to the detriment of consumers.

It depends. A long tenure means I will check in the interviews whether you were stagnating and just killing time, or growing and delivering on major improvements.

One of the best people I worked with spent 10 years at a very minor company, but the work they spoke about in the interview was extensive, and they took on a huge amount of development work across our entire company once they joined.

In a lot of software I worked with, unbundling core and UI would've been an immense amount of effort. You basically have the option to either maintain two GUIs side-by-side - including integrating new concepts (think, for example, supporting OTP and creating the workflow) and updating both for datastructure changes - or you never update your UX at all. At worst, you end up in a situation where your two GUIs support a distinct set of features.

You can correctly accuse companies of a lot of things, but decoupling the UX really is a very hard problem.
> clearly see the effectiveness of preventing hospitals admissions with the vaccination.

Oh gee, that couldn’t possibly be because the media beat the fear drum 24/7 so that before the vax was available you had people scared shitless and running to the hospital because they were so anxious that they might die. And now that people are vaxed and the media is beating the vax drum 24/7 people aren’t going to the hospital simply because they believe they will be fine, even if they have symptoms. That couldn’t possibly be the reason people aren’t going to the hospitals any more.

The US had approximately 500 B-41 nuclear bombs, each with a nominal yield of 25 megatons. It left service in 1976.

Today the largest in the US arsenal is the B83 at 1.2 megaton.

I am not talking about obvious (and easily labeled morons), but instead there are many educated and real scientists that raise questions and there is no dialogue, but instead only defunct-fact checkers totalitarian response.
Science is always open to listen, discuss and stand open to be corrected and in no time in history there was "attack on me is attack on science" attitudes that ended up be right or productive.
It is circus in all places without this approach and open dialogue.

Without knowing your customers, your product, your industry, or your use case, its difficult to give pointed advice. Here is some generic advice:

- You need to learn more about the value proposition of your product so you can best align price with value. If your product saves me $1m/year, that will have very difference pricing than if it saved me $100/year

- If adoption is what you're optimizing for, I'd be in favor of having a completely free tier (even free of transaction costs) up to a certain level, then billing turns on after you reach that threshold. This means customers invest in wiring into your product because it makes them money. By the time they reach the billable threshold, they already see the value prop and happily pay instead of rewiring everything to a new platform.

- If early revenue is what you're optimizing for, start charging immediately to get some intelligence about what customers are willing to pay. If you get some early customers on an underpriced version, thats fine. Grandfather them in under goodwill (for now) and adjust the pricing for net new customers.

That's not true in practice for poker. Pluribus showed that if you run CFR in multiplayer poker you get a solution that works great in practice. Multiple equilibria are certainly a theoretical issue for many games, but poker conveniently isn't one of them.

Getting C out of CO2 require more energy than burning C to get CO2, otherwise you'd get perpetual motion. So, if you want to reduce CO2 emissions, you're better off not burning the C to begin with rather than trying to split the CO2 after the C was burnt.

PioSolver requires putting in the hand range of the opponent, so the quality of PioSolver's solution is largely down to how accurate the guess at that hand range is. But if a pro knows he is playing against PioSolver configured with a certain hand range he can just change his strategy to adapt. In theory though if PioSolver knows the correct hand range then it shouldn't be possible to any better than tie given enough hands.

You need a massive amount of energy to run the process. If you could make it 100% efficient, which you can't, you have to put in as much energy to turn the CO2 into C + gallium oxide, and complete the cycle by turning the gallium oxide back to gallium metal, as you got by burning the carbon. So if you still have people using coal for energy, you have to pay more than they got.

But if you could eliminate fossil fuel burning and use processes like this to reduce the amount of CO2 already emitted (a big "if" because you have to concentrate it somehow) it could be useful.
