Exiting equities before a liquidity event
I invested in some startups through an equity crowdfunding platform.

For some of them I'm happy of the investments while for others I'd prefer to liquidate my equities (even at slight loss) because I'm no longer interested in the project or believing in it.

Are there any (low or no fees) ways to find a buyer and sell my equities?
I wonder how long it will be until they reconsider their "disc by mail" approach.

Bear with me a bit: one of the largest complaints I hear from people is the fragmentation, that is, if you have a particular section of content, you need a particular subscription. Many people are fine with "whatever is on these N services I have" but others are not. They want a particular film or show.

Blockbuster is gone, but for one store in Oregon. Redbox has managed to skim off the top of any rentals. Family Video has apparently pivoted to selling discs at some very reasonable-looking prices. This leaves Netflix as the sole group that could work on distributing the "long tail" of movies that are not in the cream skimmed off by Redbox.

I have never used it myself, but I have heard secondhand that Netflix has been neglecting this segment, letting the waiting lists for desired movies become longer and longer. It may simply be inherently unprofitable. However, if it is only relatively unprofitable, they may turn this around and refresh the service. One of the bigger problems with it is that the discs all eventually die, so something that only had a few thousand copies made will eventually just vanish, as mishandling kills one disc after another.

It's interesting to think about it. I will admit that I am one of those "I want to see this, not 'whatever is available,' but this particular thing!" viewers, but perhaps my segment of the population is so small as to just not be worth it.
GLX is not much older than RDP and has also been updated several times.
Mint RF70 perhaps.
Maybe there is a better word to describe this idea?
It’s super complex. There are cases where the person “gets it” and just getting caught is enough to cause growth. Accountability in the form of punishment may be a waste of time or even harmful to growth because the experience is too painful to integrate. On the other hand, someone who is always let off the hook may never develop a true sense of responsibility and things only get worse. There’s no single factor to tell what’s the right thing to do all the time.

But within the theme of this thread, I strongly doubt the optimum solution is “full punishment in every case for everyone the moment they cross the age of majority.”
one of the things I really do like about this, is that you can connect sensors and buttons to the arduino and send/ receive the i/o via wifi.
I refuse to watch anything on Hulu. Every time my wife insists and makes me watch something she really, really wants to see on Hulu, I am reminded of why I refuse to watch it.

And yes, we have the highest level of Hulu+ that is supposed to avoid most ads.

Ha! Too true.

It is very flawed. In the US mindset, so long as there was a freeway between commercial and residential, you are good.

But I think the low cost stuff just gets eaten by the parties involved (I once had a stolen card used to make a single $1 payment on iTunes. Refund was as automatic as the new cards and I doubt Apple or the bank cared at all). Not so much when theres $1k at stake and the distinct possibility that the customer, the merchant or both could be lying
>Does your thinking here work if including automation into the equation?

Yes, I am more of a technologist than anything. Automation is not free, and if a thing can be efficiently automated it is already or will be as soon as it's efficient.

Automation gains in the past have not freed large swaths of workers, simply because as more goods are available people want higher quality of life, absorbing any gains. If you want to live like someone in 1950 you could on a much lower salary than people get now, but people now want bigger houses, more cars, more goods, more entertainment, more of everything.

If you think automation will free us all, work on figuring out why all the massive automation gains did not already free large amounts of people from work.

>If UBI had to be spent locally and only on "local" goods - within the ststem - then there's no leak

This completely fails. Consider how good your life would be if you could only have goods you made. Not nice. Then make it people within a mile of you. Better, but still crap. Make it a US state. Better again, but not really anywhere near first world standards.

If you want a first world standard of living, you need goods from around the planet and skilled people from around the planet trading and making and innovating. Buy local simply lowers your quality of life (and everyone, since you'll soon lower the # of specialists that can exist by serving large populations).

>This is why major, credible think tanks estimate an immediate 13%+ increase in GDP with implementing a $1,000/month UBI.

And others have reached the opposite conclusion. Most importantly, the evidence from real world trials is consistent with a smaller, not larger, economy.
Paramount+ has subtitles that are almost impossible to read with some videos. And you're forced to watch an unskippable ad for their other content when you start your first show of the day, even if you have the commercial free plan.

Amazon Prime awkwardly splits their shows into individual seasons ('series' in UK) in such a way that it's difficult to ascertain how much of the show you'll actually be able to watch on Prime. Other seasons may be available to rent, purchase, watch on one of their partner subscription services, and/or watch for free on their IMDb TV ad-supported service, all of which is haphazardly jumbled together in their main window in no particular order.
I have occasionally tried to put together a basic Mac app. I picked up the basics of Swift easily enough, but I get stuck because XCode seems completely incomprehensible to me, and my basic attempts at finding a "cheat sheet" or "idiots guide" meet with failure.

It's at this point I get frustrated enough to give up and maybe try again in another year.

Is it just me? Does XCode really lack basic documentation?

> As I said, I'm all for welfare/assistance given generously to those in need, but that's different from funding non-working lifestyle of those who have good working options and simply don't want to work.

I guess what I’m getting at is that someone options for employment might not make sense given their life circumstances. A good job for someone is not a good job for everyone because of the opportunity cost.

On one hand, we can make our benefit systems so barebones that any minimum wage job is better, even including opportunity cost, but then the people who actually need those programs are starving.

If we make those benefit programs generous to properly support those who truly need it, then minimum wages are going to have to support more than bare survival to be a better option.

It’s really not an easy dilemma to solve because incentives are working against you.

Really, I think the best way to get people off welfare is not to decrease welfare benefits, but increase the incentives to get a minimum wage job.
I almost included the saying in my first comment, but it seemed snarky, so I didn't, and here we are.

The plural of "anecdote" is not "data".

> If a developer changes the CI pipeline file to make their PR's code run in `deployment: "production"` instead of `deployment: "test"` doesn't that bypass this?

As a concrete example, GitLab has the concept of protected branches and code owners, both of which allow you to restrict access to the corresponding environments’ credentials to a smaller group of people who have permission to touch the sensitive branches. That allows you to say things like “anyone can run in development but only our release engineers can merge to staging/production” or “changes to the CI configuration must be approved by the DevOps team”, respectively.

That does, of course, not prevent someone from running a Bitcoin miner in whatever environment you use to run untrusted merge requests but that’s better than access to your production data.
> The problem, apparently, is that you want to force the latter into the former lifestyle.

No I don't. If I was in charge then for step one I wouldn't change the amount of money those people make at all, I'd try to claw back any productivity gains from the last few decades that aren't going to workers and see how much UBI that can turn into. If I did want to tax someone with 5x income more, it wouldn't be that much more.

Recommended free Courses/Learning Tracks/ Curriculums about any subject
I am looking to expand my horizons as a person and expand my skills. Luckily the internet has plenty of opportunities!

However, by now there are so many I am looking for your favorites, most recommended ones, most worthwhile.
Anything that you feel has given you additional core competencies, skills, general knowledge, deepened your understanding, satisfied your curiousities.
It can be about IT skills (programming courses, Docker, Kubernetes), general knowledge fields (culture, philosopy), specific knowledge fields (economics, finances, psychology), skill building (learning to learn, public speaking, social skills), interesting topics (quantum physics, wine, ...).

Basically anything goes, as long as you learned something and you found it useful, interesting or personal development building.
Also, preferably, free courses, trajectories or curriculums, anything that is online and easily accessible.

I will give some examples of the above, I liked myself:

* The Science of Well-Being by Yale & Laurie Santos (available on Coursera)

* Justice at Harvard College (available on EdX)

* The Odin Project (available through Google, about web development)

* Financial Markets by Yale University (on Coursera)

Looking forward to your suggestions!
Thanks for the link! Seems legit.

I mean, they are on thin ice - can you imagine the ruckus parents would do at anything but cis? or the ruckus blogger would do if every "mature and healthy" relationship gets portrayed as necessarily cis? I see them using tropes also as a quick way out.

albeit there's some interesting takes if you search around, like in the amazon "invincible" - but I guess a miniseries has more space for it, and it's for a more adult audience to begin with.
I believe the Canadian term "newfie", for Newfoundlanders, came from such behavior. When US and Canadian troops arrived on the island during WW2, they found that male civilian employees they hired for construction would work long enough to save up some money, quit and return to their home villages around the island, loaf until the money ran out, then get another job.

I love the Lidl Parkside tool brand. Inexpensive to buy, relatively durable, and easy to repair if they break.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I find that it mirrors my own in many ways. I especially relate to the idea that life goals are accomplished when we dedicate time to ourselves and are adapt to being more flexible with the patterns in which our minds move. I also have learned over time that through the use of caffeine, a beer, or having a smoke I can help shift my mind into other modes. The same goes with exercise and meditation or sitting down to take a break for five minutes and be mindful about where my mind is at and what I need to do for myself versus others.
I have enjoyed Ted Lasso, For All Mankind, and Foundation. That’s all I can recall at the moment for AppleTV+. Still enough to make it worthwhile as part of my AppleOne account.

> they eventually grew so much, became so successful, accumulated huge piles of cash bigger than they could possibly spend, that they had to start paying a dividend.

What mechanism forces this?
Yes, 800 euro would be the max I could hope for I think.

But as an average of ~500 euros improvement of my current "salary" and loosing at the same time 40h/week + getting tired and not being able to do intense intellectual things after work I don't know if it's really worth it. And as I said, I "earn" enough money to not have to use my saving.
I don't think the article is good, either; in fact, I think it's pretty lazy, but telling a woman to go read romance novels and complain about them instead feels... reductive.

A person will feel the urge to criticize something if they care about it. She's criticizing comic books because she loves these comic books. She probably doesn't care about romance novels. Instead of saying "Go criticize romance novels instead!" have you considered, well, having someone who likes romance novels criticize romance novels for you? It'd be way more effective.

I use computers. I relentlessly criticize software. I wouldn't be able to do a good job at it if I was told "Oh, you have criticisms of modern software? Go critique architecture from your lens!"

This woman knows comic books. She loves comic books. She has some criticisms about comic books. This doesn't mean she knows or cares about romance novels. I use computers. I love computers. I have some criticisms about computers. I don't know the first thing about architecture.

IF you want Disney+ but are on the fence about Hulu and you're in the US, there's a bundle. I'm not sure about elsewhere.

$13.99 for Disney+, Hulu (with ads), and ESPN+. $19.99 if you want the Hulu with no ads.

You think that color management belongs in the window manager / compositor.

Wayland thinks color management belongs in the app.

The main difference, though, is not this disagreement, but your righteous insistence that your opinion is not an opinion but a very simple obvious fact. I can tell you from having been part of many dev teams of many major app having to do color management that such apps really, really like to be in control.

So no, the lack of color management in wayland is not such an obvious wrong decision. It's debatable, with pros and cons.

> why tax all of us

Because it impacts all of us. Imagine the impact on crime and homelessness if there were UBI. Quality of life would improve for everyone. I'm happy to pay my taxes if it goes to that.
1. A home page that is less influenced by votes.

There are often little gems that slip through because they don't get enough votes. Or, some threads can get excessively heated.

The basic idea is to give more weight to the new-ness of a thread, and allow the homepage to be more dynamic across users (a specific logged-in user should get its homepage that doesn't change quite as often to give them time to navigate it).

I was surprised to discover a (popular) social platform that is very good at providing a home page full of interesting threads without being too influenced by the very popular ones. So, I know that it is possible (although, it might be technically harder to implement).

2. Harder idea:

I've noticed that HN users (and social platforms in general) have a tendency to be influenced by the company/product/service/brand being discussed.

As a basic example, a news like "Company X did this good/bad thing" will be commented on differently depending on whether they like/dislike Company X.

So, a feature that would be really cool is the ability to hide that name, and let people discuss purely based on the "facts". Then, after posting, the user can see what that name is... (Of course, there will be more details to iron out)
Because the teachings of the Bible are not required to be coherent with eachother. It is detrimental if they are because it reduces the flexibility of interpretation. A good dogma, can always be interpreted favorably regardless of the situation.

A good dogma is like xkcd.com, you can always find a relevant quote for any given thing.

A rigid dogma can not, therefore it is a bad dogma, therefore it does not stand the test of time.

Many moons ago I created all graphs in the LPIC2 exam prep book [1] using graphviz. The book is open sourced now, and all dot files are preserved in the accompanying repo [2].

One thing I learned creating these graphs was that with some tinkering you have quite a lot of control on how the result will look, without littering the semantic in the source file with a lot of markup.

I choose graphviz because the dot notation can easily be checked into source control. It is also easy to create reproducible results using a makefile.

> Frequentism and the propensity view have better philosophical justifications, though.

Not really if the knowledge we care about is related to a concrete situation (rather than the frequency of something under hypothethical replications defined in some ad-hoc way). As you said, whether that's okay or not depends on the task.

If we care about whether there was life on Mars or whether Aduhlem is an effective treatment for Alzheimer's I don't think that frequentist inference has good philosophical support. Frequentist epistemology is not directly applicable.

Of course if you consider the frequentist methods themselves as genuine stochastic processes with corresponding objective probabilities (which also requires a valid model, by the way) you have good philosophical support to say things about those methods and their long-term frequency properties.

But this knowledge about the statistical methods used doesn't translate into knowledge about the existence of life on Mars or the efficacy of Aduhlem unless you are ready to make additional assumptions - 'philosophically unjustified' as they may be.
I saw this reality working for them in 2012 and I lost a lot of money not buying the discounted options. When were pitching about becoming HBO before HBO became them, and I thought, who the hell wants to be in HBO’s market?? Netflix at that time was considered externally as a tech play but internally they always knew they would go Hollywood.
Well for one, if anyone says "they weren't funded for X grant, so it didn't happen", it's implicitly encodes the idea that people don't do research before they get the grant money. They do.

I find the color rendering of my 5D and 1Ds3 (2005 and 2007 designs) to be slightly, but noticeably, different from new cameras.

One quantitative difference is that there's less green sensitivity in the blue raw channel than modern sensors, which hurts their noise performance in warm lighting conditions.

I'm not sure exactly how that affects color rendering in terms of metamerism, but it is visible in my experience.
I was replying in the context of implementing UBI, but to take the broader view:

If I recall correctly, the per-capita share of the US budget individuals are responsible for, if we split it evenly between every US resident of age, is (very) roughly $10k a year.

I currently pay above $100k/year in federal taxes; about 10x my share.

How much does the person “following their passion” pay? Are you really self-sufficient if you rely almost entirely on the largesse of others to fund your society?
> Automation should be encouraged, not taxed

I actually agree with you on this if taxation is framed as a way to discourage something. But the goal is to encourage automation but ensure it benefits society, not just a wealthy few, so…

> because it makes society wealthier and more productive.

It does not. It makes some people ridiculously wealthy and makes everyone else poorer.
This is the main reason I bring a film point-and-shoot to parties and social events: people look way better with a “real” flash than they do with a phone flash. That and the dynamic range of film are still unsurpassed by just about anything in phone form.
