Agree with the parent commenter some more elaboration on how your seemingly low profitability isn't a concern in the long term would be helpful to understand as I don't see immediately how your investments in the short term will help in the long term. The table makes it seem you spend -$464,071 to make $477,449 but your comment here makes it seems like 460k sales actually only cost 200k in raw materials, which is impressive!

best of luck and great article as always!
I think you've effectively conceded the point here. Losing one's job is generally understood to be a catastrophic outcome for people in our society, especially when someone has been doing that job for a long time (and perhaps also doesn't have the educational level to get another job at anything close to the same compensation). It follows that "do X or you're fired" is a form of force or coercion. In fact that's so obvious in general that to narrow the definition of "force" to exclude it seems to be a case of special pleading. Threatening someone with a severe material consequence and then saying "it's not force because it's your choice" isn't an argument most people are going to accept, and I find it interesting that you're resorting to it, because it's surely not the strongest argument for your position.
Name a single MSM person or outlet and I'll give you ten stories that were objectively speaking misinformation that led to far more severe consequences than anything Joe Rogan has done. Which one do you want? The "Russian bounty" story? The "Ivermectin ODs keep shot people waiting outside" story? How about the "WMD" thing? Go ahead, let's see how Joe Rogan's latest monkey story compares to that.

TL;DR: People enjoy Joe Rogan because he's having simple conversations without pretending to have all the answers. Meanwhile the entire MSM, from Rachel Maddow to James Clapper has deliberately lied to their audience to push for wars and escalations. If you want to start cancelling, start there.
The points you were responding to are just rebuttals of your own claims of legal knowledge.

> This is code for "I have absolutely no good arguments, or any legal justification, for why it is illegal, I just want to assert that it is illegal because I don't like it!".

Saying my argument is something I didn’t write is just a dishonest and lazy move. What I wrote isn’t code for anything. You seem to be unable to handle my points as they were written.

You also didn’t respond to my rebuttal of your actual position. Let’s try again:

> that make life harder for smaller developers Nobody is making the Apple App store illegal. Those developers can continue to use that, if they prefer it. It is just other companies can choose something else if they want.

This simply isn’t true.

If a developer has to negotiate with a multitude of different stores, each with different rules, their life will be harder.

Given that the alternative is to lose access to customers, it’s the small developers who will be harmed most by this.

These bills are supported by giant corporations who want to run their own stores. It’s just about them taking a cut, and has nothing to do with consumers or small developers.
I'm not familiar with the US tax laws, but in Canada if you don't file a tax return and don't owe money, there are no consequences. If you owe money, and do not pay, eventually you will end up in jail. That's actually being forced, and makes this a terrible analogy.

If someone is fired from the military for not getting a non-covid vaccine, are they being forced to get the vaccine?

They are not being forced. Stop playing word games.
You have to write a lot to acquire good writing skills, and it's not guaranteed to take. Incidentally, I'm told the essay load in a top humanities program is brutally higher than what most people see in their undergraduate years.

Generally fads in education have to do with parents' anxieties. Not so long ago everyone wanted to be sure their kids got basic computer skills i.e. Microsoft Office, because they were anxious about having to learn this stuff at work.

It was only a question of time before the all-out war on Rogan began. He's way too big and off-key to permit him to keep going. The concept of free speech in the US is a mirage: you have it right up to the line where it matters or can threaten power centers, then you don't.

Every major institution is united to destroy Rogan, including the WH. The Press Secretary -- speaking on behalf of the US Govt -- demanded Spotify do more to stop him, and this is treated as normal and benign. Ask Julian Assange if effective dissent is permitted.

The power derived from controlling the flow of information is immense. That's why every tyrant and authoritarian wields censorship power. Tyranny can't exist without it. And as Orwell and Chomsky have both said, the most effective form isn't jailing dissidents but doing this.

Read what Orwell said about why censorship in the UK during the war was so much more effective than the overtly autocratic regimes that just imprisoned dissidents.

We're at the point where we also arrive in these cycles. If you object to the attempt to silence Rogan, then you will be instantly tarred with the same brush used to try to destroy him: You're a racist, anti-vax, etc. etc. That's the enforcement mechanism to keep everyone quiet.

>"You do know that the vast majority of jobs in Canada do not require being vaccinated, right?"

Well suddenly vast majority now does require COVID vaccination. It is forced even on people that never show up in the office. So if I were you I'd come up with some better arguments to advance the agenda.
It's hard for me to understand how it's anticompetitive to charge a fee for a platform that you built, when there are many other platforms which a developer could use to sell their wares.

It seems to me like the only folk legislating against it are European nations, who have historically very uncompetitive tech companies so this is their only way of getting a piece of the pie. Seems like everybody is motivated by money to me. Epic and co. can act like they are for the people, but in the end, they just want more money.
It is not scientifically possible to show that any substance is completely safe after one year. Anyone who says otherwise is selling you something.

There are countless compounds (mercury, lead, smoking particles) which take years to show their harm and were once considered safe by science.

Do I think the vaccine will join those ranks? No, but I don’t want to oversell it’s safety either.

Hi dang ... I know this is meta but if you put this comment in a page linked at the bottom of HN, we can point confused users this text without wasting as much of your time. Of course, those that truly believe in conspiracy theories will either assume you're a disinformation source or in-the-dark regarding your bosses true motives. You can't really fight that.

As an aside, thanks ... to a large degree I enjoy this community because of the effort to keep the discussion civil (sometimes embracing debate over argument) and that I can learn at least a little about fields outside my own. It's much appreciated.

Elon can't get Starship into space, never mind 40 million miles away. The astronauts will require a machine to create oxygen. There is also a problem of radiation.

Not by gamers.
If your device is supported, you can use the open source drivers. I know a lot of developers use Wacom and similar tablets without installing any proprietary drivers.
So if it's profitable for Youtube and Twitter to push for a war and ban all dissenting voices you wouldn't feel there's a need to discuss whether or not that's a good thing, you'd instead have an argument about whether or not private companies should be able to do that?

There are far more interesting issues at hand and if you pretend this is a discussion about the legalities of this behaviour instead of a question about where idiotic self-harming nonsense like this leads our society you're being deliberately obtuse.

I think mostly everyone’s mental health issues go untreated. High achievers and otherwise, maybe for different reasons in different cases. Even people whose mental health issues cause them obvious distress often don’t get treatment.
Generally...

(1) look at problems I have or things that annoy me, the easy part

(2) find a better way to do that thing, the hard part

(3) build that better way, the tedious part

For your case, pick something tried and true. You don't have to do something new, but don't pick something overly complex to reach viability either. Picking something that can become complex is good however. Pair it with something else you are passionate about is likely best.

Imagine if us oligarchs split into 2 factions and had a disagreement. Maybe 1 faction decided to go join Russia or Ukraine, secretly or not so secretly. I imagine real wars and real economic decoupling are both proxy fights between oligarchs. But it’s a necessary evil, because it keeps the oligarchs honest and limits their power.

In the US, everyone must file a tax return if they have anything over $12,000+ in income. If you don’t, you could get arrested. That is rightfully called forced, because the threat is that you will lose your livelihood if you don’t file. Nobody would call living in jail a real choice.

Similarly, if you don’t take the vaccine, you are also losing your livelihood in the military, possibly having no way to provide for your family outside the military, and this can be rightfully called forced.

Having lived next to Russia I’d love to see it wiped off the map. Easily the worst nation in the world. Basically a terrorist state. Disgusting.
This, I've had people receiving bank alerts for an account they don't own and they can't be stopped. What these companies lack are customer-centric processes that they've thought through.

Wtf is wrong with putting contact information in the unsubscribe link, or reach out productively on request? Why would you presume somebody clicks it by accident vs. the much more likely case of it being a legitimate request? Are you afraid they really want to cancel your service? Or are you afraid you can't send spam under the guise of transactional messages? Or worse, listen to customers about how best to alert them? Truly ridiculous!
The demo screen is a dealbreaker. It's an admin tool. The new interface shows 8 models. The old one has space for at least twice as much. Imagine if Excel had that amount of padding. A 8x4 grid would fill the screen. A 1x2 grid on a phone.

To all designers reading this: We are not printing those screens to frame them. We're using admin tools to do real work and we want to see lots of information there to be fast. Maybe we created those models ourselves. We know what to look for. I'm sure that Django admin could be made to look better and some UX could be improved. It's in part theming and in part redesigning the control flow. Taking on the latter would be really interesting.

Edit: actually a problem with the home page of Django admin is that it doesn't show enough information. A full screen browser window displays a column of models and a lot of useless white space. A multi columnar layout would speedup navigation by displaying more models in one screen. And a search filter.
Neither of those factor into MS product decisions much any more.
Even antimatter has limits, and those limits deny reaching a relativistic gamma of 1e6/27:

http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/enginelist3.php

But even if you ignore that limit, at that kind of speed you also need to account for your outer hull undergoing significant damage as each stray intergalactic hydrogen you hit has a kinetic energy of 34.75 TeV in your frame of reference, and while this will create a large supply of antimatter, it will do so in a way significantly less helpful to your goal than the fact we can transmute lead into gold by using the former as a radiation shield in a nuclear reactor is useful to someone who wants to get rich quick.

Bonus fact: this energy level is higher than the LHC, so you may have some extra weird mass-modification effects besides relativity as the front of your spaceship is now a Higgs Boson torch.
It isn't forced.
Greenwald's quote of Orwell in this thread, about press censorship by the compliant British media, is definitely worth reading.

The specific tweet is: https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1490061112330575872

The quote comes from Orwell's proposed preface to Animal Farm, entitled The Freedom of the Press, which can be found here in its entirety:

https://orwell.ru/library/novels/Animal_Farm/english/efp_go

(Greenwald quotes the two paragraphs beginning with "Any fairminded person".)
Punishing anti-competitive measures doesn't have to be always complicated.

"Allow cookies" modals are horrible but GDPR gives people in the EU rights to be forgotten and not contacted in the future. Reminding companies about GDPR regulations works very well.
This is news to me. I’m not super informed regarding cryptocurrencies, but it seems like this would also affect erc-20 “fungible” tokens on Ethereum, wouldn’t it? Do such tokens not also have traceable histories?
Why on Earth is that unreasonable? Any political arrangement that will serve the needs of the existing members should stay on the table. If from defense perspective non-expansion agreement complemented by arms control treaties is better, then we should take it. Ukraine may still end in a better position in such case.

Java BitSet performance-flicker mystery
I'm stumbling onto a strange Java performance irregularity, especially easy to hit with Docker on Linux. A super straightforward implementation of Eratosthenes sieve using a Java BitSet for storage, sometimes drops in performance by 50%. Even more with JDK8. Any JAVA/JDK/JVM experts here that can shed some light on the mystery for me? I've been at it a while, but it is quite a bit outside my field of knowledge, and I am out of ideas for how to proceed. The blog article linked + the Git repository is an attempt to summarize/minimize things.
I think it promotes skilled Canadians emigrating, along with keeping poor places poor. Instead of having competitive compensation, Canadian companies hire cheaper skilled labour from abroad.

If we got more cheap unskilled labour, we could expand our whole economy to be rich enough to pay for the expensive skilled Canadians. Making a ton of poor people richer ads a lot more total value than adding a couple of rich people

Most likely not.

There had been a U2F API which later on had been superseded by WebAuthn (which internally uses the U2F protocol) and which is now shut down.

There is a good chance all your services are using WebAuthn.

I'm not sure but I think Firefox never supported the API which is now deprecated.
I remember that when I worked at Google about a decade ago, there was this common saying:

"If the first version of your shell script is more than five lines long, you should have written it in Python."

I think there's a lot of truth in that. None of the examples presented in the article look better than had they been written in some existing scripting/programming language. In fact, had they been written in Python or Javascript, it would have been far more obvious what the resulting output would have been, considering that those languages already use {} for objects and [] for lists.

For example, take this example:

jo -p name=JP object=$(jo fruit=Orange point=$(jo x=10 y=20) number=17) sunday=false

In Python you would write it like this:

json.dumps({"name": "JP", "object": {"fruit": "Orange", "point": {"x": 10, "y": 20}, "number": 17}, "sunday": False})

Only a bit more code, but at least it won't suffer from the Norway problem. Even though Python isn't the fastest language out there, it's likely still faster than the shell command above. There is no need to construct a fork bomb just to generate some JSON.
> I expect that the ratio between prices in tainted / clean BTC will grow if the set of tainted coins increases compared to clean ones.

I don't. I expect the absurdity will become more clear and make the whole attempt to flag them irrelevant.

for example, after a national or municipal government seizes bitcoin under some semblance of due process or even an actual criminal charge and reauctions them, we are supposed to pretend those bitcoins are magically clean? do all the exchange softwares update to know that? they still have the transaction history from the event that flagged them to begin with. the answer is easier when it involves a government you respect like when the US Marshalls auction off a drug kingpin's seized bitcoin. but what about a government you don't respect? welp a sovereign nation seized it so they're clean now. If so, some random jurisdiction with some level of sovereignty can just become the bitcoin washer as a service, if not then exchanges are acting too arbitrarily and are going to lose business for no legal reason. Exchanges flag bitcoin to stay within an imagined impending compliance burden of being able to prove they don't accept dirty money. If they flag bitcoin with the clearest outcome of having been seized by the state and reintegrated into the economy, then they have made a hopeless error. People with ambiguously acquired bitcoin already have a dozen ways of getting it into bank accounts and cash, and will have even more in the future. So it's just the merchants and exchanges that have to make sure they are attracting business. For those reasons I don't see a separate exchange rate forming, its an average of fungibility that leads to the same result.

That wasn't Stern...?

It sounds like you barely have any idea of what Stern's controversy was about.
No, that's absurd. You need to think a bit first. Those things are more easily taxed to "solve". And you being fat doesn't impact me in the least, unless I am unfortunately stuck next to you on a plane. I can't catch it from you. So that isn't comparable to COVID.

Notice how smoking has long been regulated and limited, but not banned? That slippery slope argument doesn't work either.

And the bit about giving kids pills is paranoid nonsense. And ironically, kids have had required vaccines for a very long time. With no sliding down any slopes.
It's not forced. There any many jobs that don't require a vaccine. It's a choice.

A protection racket is enforced through the use of physical violence. Terrible analogy.
It's not on me to do their job for them. It costs time and hence money.

Yes vaccines are being forced - how else a threat to loose your job can be called. And yes I live in Canada.

>"you don’t live in Ottawa and have no clue what’s going on"

Do we have a clue about what's really going on in the rest of the world? We do not but it never stops people including HN crowd from judging. I bet you are guilty of that too.
I see no difference. PHP has a billion FWs and a billion more CMSs. Python is the same way. Rails is the only example you give that has merit. I mean PHP is a terrible example. I've been coding PHP since around 2007, PHP has Zend FW, Laravel, Cake, Ignitor, Symphony, Silex... it keeps going and going. All I can see from your comment is some biases against JS. You do you on what you want to learn or use. But its not really an argument that holds up imo.
The 2011 laptop was similar to that (i5-2410M) but the one you cite is from 2018. From 2012-2015 browsing for laptop deals to find an equivalent laptop for the same price point wasn't possible, never mind an improvement - I was worried about what to do if mine broke.

And yes the CPUs saw improvements at the same component cost, but actually finding a real laptop with even an equivalent CPU inside at the budget end wasn't possible. The laptops got features in some places, but at a cut processor cost. I'm talking about the lower end of the market (the M1 you mentioned is way way wayyy above there) for people who can afford the bare minimum. As you go up in price you get more options, but the low end was noticeably more difficult to purchase in if you weren't looking for the newer features and just wanted the same benchmarks.
I built a JSON editor for Android a while back as part of a tool for kicking off AWS Lambda functions. I was planning on pulling the JSON editor to it's own reusable package, but lost momentum. I imagine it could be useful in many sorts of apps that use JSON.
