> If the government bans cigarettes, should the government then reimburse every shareholder in Philip Morris?

No, but that's because Phillip Morris isn't actively offering anything to the government. A landlord that isn't allowed to evict is. If the government forces them for provide cigarettes to soldiers during a war, they have to pay them to do so.

> Someone had to brunt the cost of the pandemic.

That's what taxes are for. Even money printing is better. It doesn't make sense for them to target landlords who serve low-income tenants in particular. That would be like forcing grocery stores to offer free food to poor locals. In the short term, it may help some people, but in the long term, grocery stores in poor neighborhoods would simply shut down and everyone would be worse off. That's why we have food stamps instead.

> If you get in the game of capital speculation you shouldn't get to go crying to the government when things don't go your way.

I agree that land speculation is particularly useless and the government should try to get rid of it, but that's not happening. Property speculation is higher than ever.
What was your motivation for building it? As you said, there's a lot of competition, did you anticipate that it would be difficult to differentiate?
Did they ever promote this? I'm a YouTube Premium subscriber and while technically there's a button in the navigation I couldn't say that I've ever heard of any of their originals and clicking on it just gives an unstructured mess with little reason to care about any of it.
> Don't mistake the lack of violence from a wolf in a cage as evidence of its benignity.

We live in a society where large corporations can destroy (or save) the economy of an entire town with a single investment decision. We live a society where a single corporation's employment policies dictate the life experience of more than 1.25 million people. We live in a society that spends that 10% of all federal income on the military (more than half of all discretionary spending), and that routinely launches disastrous wars overseas. A world in which the behavior of fossil fuel extraction industries threatens the current structure and distribution of contemporary human civilizations, yet they are largely beyond control. I could go on.

In the midst of all this, the idea that a small number of people who have a different idea of what constitutes justice and equality, most of them college age or not far from it, somehow represent an existential threat to the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness is just laughable to me.

The article title is "G Suite legacy free edition", and is about a service which hasn't been available for 10 years being finally sunset, last day of access 30-April. Wouldn't "G Suite legacy free edition ends May, 2022" be a less editorialized title?

Could it be that the intelligence services of the Five Eyes have all agreed it would be great to undermine encryption, but Canada and New Zealand have left wing / liberal / non-authoritarian governments, and the Democrats in the US don't want to weaken the security of (or campaign contributions from) US technology companies? That just leaves the UK and Australia to push for these awful policies, and pave the way for the other members to adopt them later.
That's not an excuse to actually be complete assholes.
This is a typical problem with Quanta. I'm not quite sure who their target audience is, but I doubt they get anything beyond the vaguest idea of what is done here. And if you know more, you don't need to be told about Thomas Bayes etc. and you could probably quickly realize that the research is an overinterpreted incremental thing dressed up as a breakthrough to advance careers and back-scratch some famous academics who then go on to pose as the face of, and to take credit for an entire subfield/line of research.

Laypeople would gain much more from learning about solid, settled and stable pieces of knowledge about various scientific aspects. Instead, we get these weird frankenstein stories mixing basic concepts and cutting edge research, where in the end readers go aways with a smug sense of satisfaction of keeping up with new scientific developments while not really understanding what it really was about.

Instead, listening to a well-structured didactic lecture or reading a textbook has much better "return on investment", but it's less satisfying than the glossy magazine (or its online equivalent).
That is why I like dynamic languages like Julia better because they use type annotations more frequently.
Yeah I have been slowly trying to push away from 1pass as our corporate secrets overlord. 1pass is marketing towards business but screwing over their original community

My side project https://playtoearn.one/ is not making $500/month yet, but it's getting there: a tiny bit more than $400 for this month

It's getting around 250-300 visitors a day, and in a high paying niche

I started using "classic" ads - which were/are making next to nothing - but just signed a deal with a direct client for 400$ for 3 weeks of displaying his game on the site, on the top banner

There are so many play-to-earn games popping up at the same time that projects are fighting for visibility, which playtoearn.one can bring

So now, I've hired a designer to make a great looking UI and I'm getting motivated to turn this side project into something more than this

EDIT: Traffic for the past month:

I think the real problem is (emphasis mine):

> the MX record is vulnerable to manipulation unless DNSSEC is used, but people don't like DNSSEC which is why MTA-STS was invented

This speaks volumes about the way these protocols are developed and subsequently implemented in software. People are not going to like complex solutions and that should be kept in mind when those protocols are being developed and implemented, otherwise its deployment is hampered just like we're seeing now with DNSSEC. In fact, now we've got MTA-STS because "people don't like DNSSEC", involving a whole HTTPS stack on both sides with so much more failure points just to send an email.
Seems like the "real" deadline will be July 1st - and possibly to the end of that month.
Keepass + GDrive/iCloud is going to be the recommendation I provide my friends and solo business owners in an upcoming presentation.

The file itself is under your control, apps are cross platform and desktop, and it is pretty intuitive.

That plus either 2fas (allowing for local token backup) or Authy (encrypted cloud backup) of MFA, and I won't hear about Instagrams getting pwned again.
Love the org support in LogSeq! Probably the deciding factor why I chose it over Dendron(which is great as well).

I see you don't understand what I am writing as well.

I don't write anything about banning or making emotions illegal.

It is just that I can't see how someone can get angry about something someone wrote somewhere on the internet.

Other thing I am writing about is that expressing anger or negative emotions online is not productive and is scaring away people who could contribute to the discussion.
My side project currently grosses close to $1,400 per month through Patreon.

I run a modded Grand Theft Auto: V roleplaying server with around 1,500 members (around 300 really dedicated MAU.) If you're not familiar with GTA RP, it tries to emulate real life as closely as possible while still recognizing that GTA is an arcade game. Players live lives as if they were real people, buying cars and houses, holding jobs, opening businesses, receiving medical treatment, being arrested, etc.

I've spent around three years working on the gamemode and spend, on average, 30-60 hours per week on it. It's really a pure passion project. Players support the project through Patreon in exchange for priority queue access (when the server is full, players are held in a queue until a slot opens up for them), custom license plates on their vehicles, custom phone numbers, and other cosmetic perks.
Very well put. My remark about 'true love' was this exact cynicism. And like you, I mirror the exact same feelings for my wife. The Mills & Boone type of romances do not exist in real life. Deep love is crafted incrementally each day of being together, like an old oak tree sinking its roots ever deeper.

It is perhaps the gravitas and wordsmanship which makes the author's story remarkable. It exposed us to his thought process, and the minutaé of his feelings. As a thinking species, we perhaps appreciate this expressivity. These adversities are more common than depicted & many couples with disabilities do share meaningful time together.
It's gone to a new level where some people just want to appear as not being in the echo chamber, so they label themselves uniquely, but when you listen to them, they are just part of the larger groupthink.

For example I have started seeing many people online calling themselves "libertarians," but they are still in favor of big government ideas such as UBI and universal healthcare. Or "libertarians" who want a white ethnostate enforced by the police
You can have this exact thing cheaper if you set up a server and forward your mail to Gmail. And you'll also have a server to host a website or whatever else.
I'm not anti-work. I'm just anti-work for exploitive jerks. I have no problem working hard for myself (projects, chores, improvements, etc).

I think we both just realize that the rewards are simply not commensurate with effort in most cases. Executive and management pay goes up, yet they are just overhead, not production. So essentially they have to take advantage of the value produced by their worker for themselves. We recognize this and are unmotivated.

I didn't see any competitors in the space solving the problem the way I would solve it (good UX + a focus on developer-experience), I wanted an uptime monitor that didn't piss me off with my own freelance clients, and I figured if there was room for a 200th competitor, chances are there would be room for a 201st.
One of the problems is that people who paid for Google Play purchases and other services have no way of migrating them to a free Gmail account.
Oh. So making them not dependent on losing 8 hours of their work per weekday to a boss, and giving them freedom to do what they like in that time, isn't making their lives worse? But if the same state is achieved by a poor person then...?

I would agree that also not needing to be available for a boss at all, even "just in case something goes wrong", is better, but that doesn't seem to be the argument. Rather, that attaining freedom from being told what to do much of your waking hours is morally or psychologically harmful. Which obviously becomes absurd when we apply it to rich people. Which is my point. Why's it fine for one group and something to worry about with another?

[EDIT] More directly, I'm wary any time I encounter "be careful with that freedom, poor people, it might be bad for you, and I'm not sure we can trust you to do the right thing with it! Rich people, carry on as you were, you're all fine and need no oversight or pointers, obviously." as an argument.
Giving EU customer data to the US government is literally illegal for a company. There's not any process that somehow makes it legal without the collaboration of an EU member state.

The problem is that companies with a presence in the US can be forced to break the law of either the US or the EU. It's illegal to hand over the information to the US government, but it might also be illegal not to.
Ask HN: Gsuite legacy users have to pay – what is a better option for a family?
Just saw this HN submission[0], about 'G Suite legacy free' users have to start paying.

I've been using this for so many years now for our family of five members. To move away from this would be quite an effort.

However, I've been contemplating moving away from Gmail for quite some time now and this might be just the push I needed.

We hardly use Google drive or any of the other services so it should not be too painful. For all of our other services, we have been using Microsoft Office 365, which comes with Word, Excel, etc. Since this is a personal (family) plan [1] which we subscribe to, Microsoft does give an option for custom domains but only via GoDaddy [2].

Since the domain isn't registered with GoDaddy, this isn't an option. And the Microsoft 365 Business Basic Plan at $5/user/month doesn't give any offline office products, so the option would be to go for the next tier of $8.25/user/month.

I would prefer to just move my email to some other provider since we already have Microsoft Outlook on all our machines.

It would also be a bonus to have a good online UI but that is not a priority as of now.

What alternatives are out there for people like us?

Not the person you were replying to, but I completely agree. I had fun setting up my Raspberry Pi as a Plex host / torrent box / home server.

Where us hobbyists go wrong is thinking any large percentage of customers want to do that. Any amount of futzing is too much. Most people want it to "just work."
Someone tell me what CoPilot generates for this:

// A Go function to swap the sixth bit and seventeenth bit of a 32-bit signed integer.

Here is a human solution:

func swap(x int32) int32 {
const mask = 1 << 5
var (
xor1 = (x>>11 ^ x) & mask
xor2 = xor1 << 11
)
return x ^ xor1 ^ xor2
}

I would be surprised if CoPilot can reason numerically like this (understand "seventeenth bit" and "sixth bit" and generate the right code for that combination).
They're probably laughing because a) you're suggesting manually doing the work static typing does in a dynamic language because its untenable not to for large projects, and b) you can't easily add type hints to other people's libraries.
>> Not only that, they're trying to weaken the other adblockers that are there to get rid of ads for you.

> I'm going to need a citation for that.

I was mostly referring to the fact that they bought uBlock and made it use their “acceptable ads” program, which seems mainly like a move intended to weaken uBlock Origin, or at least leech off its reputation.

Honestly I don’t really know much about them, I just know that I’d much rather support uBlock Origin than this company.
Have you thought about deploying the ML model on the edge, using something like TensorflowJS or ONNX-runtime?

Haven't done it myself (looking into it right now!), but my impression is that model quantization (and possibly prunning) can give you a palatable model size that doesn't affect performance too much.
It's at a low attitude, it's a light object with lots of surface area, it'll be dragged into the atmosphere pretty quickly... probably in months.

It may be a bad habit to toss trash this way, but not worth a freakout.

I do wonder to what extent the force and direction of the toss would matter. Five meters/second works out to a displacement of 43km per day, the space station is around 400 km up. I know orbital dynamics make the math harder...
Networks don't pay out royalties for syndicated shows.

The production studio that owns the show pays out the royalties, based on the income they receive from the channels syndicating the show. (Fox TV, for example, made Modern Family, which aired on ABC. Fox TV pays out the royalties received from the channels that syndicate reruns of the show, not ABC.)
Absolutely agree.

All features are useful. That's table stakes. But usefulness is insufficient to warrant inclusion. How does a feature interact with all existing features? Are there ambiguities? Are there conflicts? A language is not a grab-bag of capabilities, it's a single cohesive thing that requires design and thought.
I completely misread your comment. I had somehow thought you meant that we should do a tax-strike in order to force the government to reform. My cynical counterargument was that they would just borrow to make up for the missed revenue until the protestors gave-in or were arrested.
I have unrealized losses on the collateral shares in the current market correction, but that makes my call options tank like rocks and helps me get them to a satisfactory level for buying to close much faster.

If my late mother had been around for this, she would have thought I was nuts for going to so much trouble to breastfeed, and let me know on a regular basis :)

It's amazing to say it - you meant "billions", not "millions". :D Prices are astronomical!
Yeah, it's trash and you're almost always better off just reading the original story (if you haven't already, since it was probably on the front page of a major subreddit).

Dendron: A personal knowledge management solution built on VS Code
I find it strange that we see much of the golden age of the Middle East through the eyes of Islam. We refer not to the period as say for instance the Perso-Arabic (indeed, much of it was Persian though) golden age or something equivalent but rather the Islamic one, even though Islam had little to do for it. Some comments also mention the cities sacked as Islamic, and not say Persian for instance.

Of course, it is a very decidedly modern and political framing, but inaccurate and bizarre nonetheless. As much as calling the Renaissance in Europe the ‘Christian Golden Age’.

It is also worth noting the interplay and knowledge transfer from China, India, Japan, and various South East Asian countries into Persia too: in an attempt to hold up this narrative, we forget to see some of the things that we give ‘Islam’ exclusive credit for that were actually merely translated from the Eastern original.

Wow, this sounds really interesting. As someone who used to be an avid GTA V player, I can imagine how much fun this can be. Do you have any videos on the mod and/or on the playing experience?
It might not be a direct alternative, since it's not using markdown files directly, but I really like Trilium notes (https://github.com/zadam/trilium).

I'm sorry! I didn't expect the HN hug of death. About 200 concurrent people right now, so the domain check API is failing :(
Pre/post conditions are complementary to a type system. They can ensure logical properties that may not be encodable in your underlying type system (that is, essentially every mainstream statically typed language). Such as the relationship between two values in a collection. Trivial example, if you have a range such as [x,y] where x < y must hold, how would you convey that in any mainstream type system?
AI that explains code, at a high business logic level. I originally designed it while working on a complex physics system for a game engine, and needed to understand it myself and also explain it to non-technical people. Try it on your own code: https://denigma.app
The result is the same. Every sub-notebook is a notebook that can contain more sub-notebooks, but there is no such thing as a mere folder that can be placed inside another folder without also creating a confusing space where notes can hide inside the notebook but not alongside its sub-notebooks.

The other way to interpret it is just a very poorly planned UI that uses separate panes to list folders and notes that are located in the same hierarchy position. Either way, it’s madness.
Thanks! Yeah, I did NOT expect HN's traffic. It's overloading the domain checking API and making it fail
