I have seen these kind of BS for years on HN now (admittedly most of them from Google). I have decoupled from all those big companies so they can't literally destroy me. I use some of their service but it would be of no consequence if they banned me (YouTube account for example).

I encourage you all to get back your freedom. It's not sexy or easy but it's better than loosing everything someday because a stupid law has been passed or on an AI whim.
> It just depends how you define terms

It only depends on where you are in the spectrum

Everyone is a perfectionist in something, but only someone is obsessed with perfectionism to the point it becomes bad for you.

That's what usually people think about when they talk about perfectionism, but that's the worst case scenario.
> It feels as though accusing me of making personal attacks is just a
way for you to try to get out of the corner you’ve backed yourself
into

What corner? I'm spending my free time teaching you about work
philosophies you haven't heard of. The personal attacks you keep
repeating is that I'm arguing that others should work for me and that
I shouldn't have to work. If you believe that is the point of my
argument then I'm wasting my time.

> This is a fair point, and I’ll concede on that.

Even if wilderness and unused farmland existed in abundance taking
advantage of it requires you to disconnect from society. It is not
feasible to live that way.

> In all seriousness though, I believe that workfree (per your
definition of work) societies can (and do) exist, but they cannot
work on a macro scale.

Societies in general do not exist on macro scales. Nations are not
societies, they are abstractions whose purpose is to organize work. Of
course I can't tell how the world would look like if work became
voluntary. I doubt global cooperation would be harder than it is today.

> This works because individuals are able to independently verify
whether everyone in the community is pulling their weight.

You are still unable to see that the point of work freedom is that
executing useful tasks is not "pulling weight" or "picking up slack"
(an expression you used before). If you enjoy what you are doing what
difference does it make whether someone is pulling weight or not?

> By your definition any society which uses money cannot be a workfree society.

Yes, kind of. If the distribution of money is uneven society is
probably not workfree.
One thing most Americans don't understand about Canadian politics how much effort is put into limiting the influence of money. Corporations cannot make political donations in several provinces. Even unions can't contribute in some provinces. Individual donations to political parties are capped. On top of that, political parties have to adhere to campaign spending limits during election periods (although some do circumvent caps using third party PAC's).

In Alberta, where the organizer[1] of this GoFundMe is based, campaign spending limits for a provincial election are capped at $2,121,368 for a political party[2].

This GoFundMe just raised five times what an entire political party is allowed to spend during an election in Alberta.

Ostensibly, this cash was to be used to pay for gas and motel stays for those involved in the protest, but those truckers were never going to see a tenth of what Lich was given. Lich is a founding member of several Western separatist parties. Those parties, although they do have legitimate grievances that find some sympathy with moderates, take an approach that is wildly unpopular. Namely, separatism. They don't raise much money as a result. It's likely that Lich would have funnelled the remainder of this GoFundMe into support for one or more of the political parties she's affiliated with.

What could have happened is that, during the next few elections in Western provinces, we'd have seen a bevy of implausibly well funded PAC's shilling for Wildrose, Maverick, etc.. Their ads would have been similar in quality and quantity to those of the major parties. That could have significantly shifted the polls.

What about Lich's goals for the protest itself? As someone who wants to see Canada break up into several smaller nations, it's in her interest to demonstrate how weak and ineffectual the federal government is. What better way to do that than by blockading the capital and several key trade routes at the U.S. border while the federal government dithers and provincial governments do nothing?

Keeping money out of politics is a sisyphean task, but it's one most Canadians embrace. When GoFundMe's can raise this much cash in the blink of an eye, we have to recognize that the game has been fundamentally transformed yet again. In this instance, all that stopped a politically transformative amount of cash from flowing into a fringe party's hands was the hesitation of a foreign corporation. I fully expect regulations for political fund-raising through services like GoFundMe are going to be in the works shortly.

Hi!

Will you also post the pictures on the Twitter account or only send it by email?

On the one hand I would like to be able to brag about my purchase and having it posted by your Twitter account would make it look more official (after all, I could take the picture myself on a fake BlockPaper at home if I was a scammer), on the other hand I fear that people will download and report the picture of the BlockPaper link I paid for to own it myself. I've seen them people, they tend to do that.

Also, before I invest my money in this project, I would like to know: how many BlockPaper links have been sold already?
As someone with diagnosed OCD, this is a great article.

I'm glad CBT and mindfulness is coming more to light, because it really did change my life. I no longer let my thoughts control me, but rather, I control my thoughts.
Cryptocurrency has this nasty conflict of interest built in: the early adopters and their investors are rich on paper but ALL of that value goes away if people switch to something else. You can still find Bitcoin holders lying about it being private or uncensorable because they stand to lose a fortune if everyone switches to Monero.

I think this combination of looking like tech but being a financial instrument makes it hard to talk about on tech forums because we don’t have anything with close to that level of conflict built-in. If you were a PHP developer who switched to Python, the value of your past experience wouldn’t drop to zero (often it goes up); if your Rails app was bought by a Node shop it wouldn’t be seen as worthless and they’d probably keep it running for many years. The closest comparison I can think of for weak fiat currency like Bitcoin would be Flash after Adobe threw in the towel and everyone knew they’d need to migrate, and even there the value had a higher floor because you had working code and a path to HTML5.
MZLA is building tbird for profit
So you bought it as a speculative investment?
Of course they don’t. They want to reach their strategic goals with minimum cost of course. But right now it looks like they have actually lost on the strategic side with NATO expansion accelerated by at least a decade in Sweden/Finland and post Cold War readiness being brought back to Europe at a pace that you wouldn’t have believed a couple of years ago.

So the threat hasn’t exactly paid off yet, and what’s worse, they might have painted themselves into a corner where open conflict is the least bad option, at least if Putin wants to save his strong man face (not that the Russian public wants the war despite endless propaganda in every news outlet).

Perhaps Putin can accept the de facto re-incorporation of Belarus into Russia that took place last week in plain sight as a win and be happy with that.
Adobe advertising their inks, specifically their 'Rich Black'.

When it comes to colors, normal parlance defines white and black as colors. In technical definitions, white and black are not colors.

So both answers can be correct, depending on how you define the question, so take your pick of 'yes' or 'no'.
It's worth pointing out that "cancelling" Rogan (getting him kicked off Spotify) would increase his audience back to what it was[1].

I don't know how you can call it censorship when his audience would become larger if he goes back to independent self-publishing.

Nope. you've lost any credibility with that argument.
against the spirit of the internet

I completely agree. I believe the commonly used phrase is and this is why we can't have nice things. The open and decentralized internet is also open to people with ill intent. We can solve things with technical solutions, monetary solutions and/or legislative solutions. All of these are double edged swords and have varying degrees of effectiveness and unintended side effects in my opinion.

I don't really know what the right solution should have been that would have made everyone happy minus the people with ill intent.
Yes, dir /s file
Looks for the file in the current directory and all subdirectories. I wish Unix ls could do the same thing as easily. MS-DOS rules forever I guess.
Look, I've already explained that I'm not surprised. You are claiming I'm lying? Or what? Also my example is not a straw man. It's a simple analogy. This will be my last comment.

The thing I'm trying to address is your claim that it's just fine and dandy for them to redirect all the money to charities because that's equivalent to what the original organizers were going to do anyway. It's not. It's so obviously not appropriate that GFM immediately realized they could never get away with that and changed their minds and decided to refund all of the money instead. So I don't know why you're even bothering to defend their original plan. You're probably literally the only person in the world who thinks it's fine.

edit: removed potentially inflammatory analysis.
He didn’t say threaten them.

It’s pretty easy to envision a situation where a lawyer sends a quite friendly and factual email to a company, that is literally identical to the one the IT head would have sent, but because it’s coming from a lawyer the recipient uses completely different internal routing to process the request. So someone actually takes the request seriously.

Seems both plausible and a reasonable thing to do for a company large enough to have a legal department.

People pay attention to lawyer letters. You’ve pretty much confirmed as much by noting that letters from a lawyer are so concerning to you that the mere mention of one makes you assume it’s a threat.

If you got a letter from an attorney asking for something nicely, and it was a reasonable request you would automatically reply “SUE ME” just on principle? What’s the principle?
Ask HN: Burned out SaaS founder: how to go minimal
Not trolling. I am a regular HN'er but throwaway account. I the solo founder of a SAAS company and personally I made $400K from the business for myself last year. I have a million dollar home. I have paid off cars. I have a great life on paper BUT lately I am miserable as hell. I have been trying to figure out what went wrong because I thought I am living my dream (running my own business which I do)

I am so lonely. I am strong enough that I don't consider killing myself or anything like that but I feel so lost right now.

I am considering selling EVERYTHING (including the business and my home) and going really minimal. I have not lived minimally since 2006 (started making 100K plus since then). I am worth 2 Million dollars but feel like a failure. I know you will say 1st world problem and all but I have worked my ass off to get here and nothing came to me handed. I had to earn every bit of it. I work 60-70 hours per week on the business.

I am just so tired of this race. Trying to grow the business (solo founder), customers bullshit, employees bullshit and what not. My wife and I fight about doing upgrades in the house which is never enough. The more money we make, the more we are trying to keep up with in this rat race of materialistic things.

Looking for advice from people like me who went minimal since I think that may be a possible option for me. Live a simpler life and then focus on doing things that may bring back that sense of happiness I used to have when I was in college. I know I cannot be caged in corporate jobs. What do I do ? I do have 2 kids and a wife so I am not sure what do but I feel stuck in this life style.
That UCEPROTECT racket is extortion, frankly. What a mess.
Sensory input goes dark, but the brain is quite active creating simulated spaces and threat response environments.
I'm trying to learn more modern algebra (including algebraic geometry). The modern stuff is of interest to me, but it feels overwhelming.

I get that affine schemes are somehow the "geometric" dual of a commutative ring. A motivating example is Spec(R[X,Y]/(X^2 + Y^2 - 1)), which is simple enough as a ring (if you remove the "Spec"), but as an affine scheme it is a circle. The slash is almost acting like a subset formation operation. I know enough category theory to see that the reason why the slash is acting that way is because equalisers are the dual construction to coequalisers; the slash (ring quotienting) is a coequaliser, and in the category of affine schemes it becomes an equaliser, and equalisers on "spaces" are supposed to form subsets somehow. Another example is the ring R[X]/(X^2), sometimes called the dual numbers, whose affine scheme (or Spec) is a lot like an infinitely small line segment. The fact that the affine scheme behaves like an infinitely small region of space is dual to the algebraic fact that the dual numbers are a local ring.

Finally, I have a vague understanding that a scheme is the result of gluing some affine schemes together. Sheaf stuff is involved.

Anyway, the above summarises my understanding of schemes. I don't know any differential geometry as such. I rely a lot on naive, and sometimes not wholly rigorous intuition. I have no idea how you compute with this, especially given how elaborate the definitions are.

[edit]

I'm hoping this might present a shortcut for someone like me: https://www.ingo-blechschmidt.eu/research.html It's especially promising because the computations look more familiar to me.

Seems pretty obvious OP is addressing a conservative audience that tends to be pro-free-market. For better or worse it is a VERY political topic and this argument attempts identify contradicting agendas of conservatives that take issue with this.
This explanation is super weird.

> No one has challenged the broader focus of Totenberg's original story, which asserts that the justices in general are not getting along well. The controversy over the anecdotal lead, which was intended to be illustrative, has overwhelmed the uncontested premise of the story.

Gorsuch and Sotomayor issued a joint statement that they are warm friends. Doesn’t that challenge the broader focus of the story? How are we supposed to take them seriously unless we want to believe what they’re saying uncritically?
It seems like you disagree with all of the quoted sections, but it's unclear what you think the actual truth is. Would you elaborate?
Russia already claimed they downed a Ukrainian drone which then very clearly in the photos wasn’t Ukrainian. Not sure who that propaganda was for, but likely a domestic audience as it was quickly taken apart anywhere there is critical media (as they must have understood it would be).
"How can something be more opaque than fully opaque?" was my intuition (and probably many other people's). Also RGBA numbers are generally clamped to 0,255.

A lawyer will not do anything.

A blacklist is not directly interfering with your business. They just provide a list that contains IPs, your IP, and say we have seen spam traffic from it in the last x hours. The mail receiver, who trusts and uses the list might be interfering, but it is his right to pick and choose who he is accepting email from. Same right you have to pick and choose who you let into your bar, apartment, club, house, ... what so ever.
It worked so well in Cuba, after all.

At this point I think it's safe to say that rebellion isn't even an objective of sanctions. Nobody anywhere in the world views that as a plausible outcome.
Yeah, that was a dumb comment. Sorry.
A perceived decline of quality in Newsweek certainly intersected with my grandparents' turn towards Fox News in the late '90s. But there's a lot more to it. I spent years on the tail end of that shift trying to convince them that NPR was relatively even-handed only for NPR to doom that effort right when it started to take hold with goofy scandals and a stream of new programming that embraced being perspective-centric. (Inability to report with an objective and even hand about guns didn't help NPR, either. They say news stories about things you're familiar with always seem atrocious. I've definitely witnessed it with tech stories in mainstream news. But it tends to be extra atrocious with guns, I guess because a lot of folks find the topic rather visceral.)

I also have found that otherwise relatively interesting writing in all kinds of sources has become less family shareable over the years as edginess and expletives have penetrated more and more quarters. I wish people would write more opinion pieces to be shareable with grandma instead of raising hackles for the sake of it.
BTW: Sumatra PDF by the same author is also worth checking.
The "right" solution with no quality compromises is per-pixel linked lists (PPLLs) that are then sorted afterward. This is straightforwardly implementable on GPU, but it remains to be seen whether the technique will take off, given the overhead.
I disagree that the analysis articles from Jepsen, taken as whole, are arguing for a "perfect distributed system without trade offs". In my experience these articles are fairly even-handed, indeed, many products make some changes based on the analysis and then contract for a follow-up. That the "tone and implication is as if somehow there is some alternative panacea without tradeoffs..." is not something I observed in this analysis or the previous ones that I have read.

In my opinion the Rethink DB 2.1.5 report went fairly well for that project. If the claims are aligned with the reality of the product, it's clear the Jepsen report will highlight that.

He publicly endorsed Sanders for president. I'm not sure what you call that, but I dont this the adjective "conservative" is correct.

Besides his vaccine skepticism, and willingness to talk to anyone, what about him do you think is conservative?
Cash has serial numbers printed on it.
From my experience, I wonder how much "perfectionism" is itself the self-deception to cope with an executive function disorder. Most narratives of perfectionism start with the person having unrealistic outcome and that leads to procrastination, difficulty starting, etc. I wonder if it is likely that the problem is an inability to get started and stay on task, and then the person does a 180 and tells themself that they just can't get started the right way, or it wasn't going to be perfect, and so they abandoned the task.

Ask HN: I'd like an OS/FileSystem that Never Deletes Anything. Does it exist?
Forgive me for the ignorance of my question.

I'm tired creating backups, or loosing data. Let's be honest, sometimes it happens. Does a filesystem that never deletes/overwrites anything exist?

I envision something like an append only filesystem where you all files in your hard drive are under some OS level 'version control' and you can rollback to any version you want. Only files in my home dir would be enough. Obviously once space runs out it would start overwriting the oldest versions.
