Interesting idea, and even more potentialy practical than you suggest:

>You'd need some sort of super-fast-3D printer

Nah, just a modern electronic key duplicator. You can find a lot of kiosks and such these days that make use of tools like JMA's Multicode electronic key cutting machine [0]. No need for additive manufacturing here, just have a standard blank and very high precision fast subtractive is mature technology. Would not at all be a big deal to just feed an algorithm generated pattern into it instead of having it scan an existing key. In fact, I don't think the algorithm even necessarily needs to be proprietary or secret here? The specific threat scenario in this case involves those with brief access to the luggage between when you drop it off with the airport for flight and when you retrieve it again at arrival. Key cutting machines aren't exactly pocketable, so the fact that theoretically somebody could go to any kiosk or private machine and make copied keys in practice doesn't mean they can bring a machine into the cargo area and make use of it in real time. And with mass variation of keys and no single master, there is no way for an attacker to just have all the keys needed with them. Even the cost doesn't seem like more than a drop in the bucket on the scale of these things.

I don't know if it's actually a significant enough deal to bother with, but if it was this does seem like a potential easy low tech solution.

> It is in all practical senses impossible for an iPhone or Mac user to change their search engine to a new search engine on Safari or at the iOS level.

On my IOS device, under Settings -> Safari -> Search Engine, I have a drop down with options, including Bing and DuckDuckgo, but defaulted to google.

On Macos, with Safari running, Safari -> Preferences… -> Search, Search Engine I have a drop down, defaulted to google, with Bing and DuckDuckgo amongst other choices.

Agreed on google”s effort to get their search engine as the default. However I just don’t understand how changing search engine is impossible given what I’m seeing on my devices? Nor does it seem over the top onerous to my eyes.

I recently learned that an ex-brother-in-law made bank from Bitcoin and retired to Mexico (he is around 50). To be honest I mostly associate Mexico with cartel kidnappings and killings, so I was shocked that he would choose Mexico to retire to, but apparently retiring to Mexico is a meme?

The relevant meta-point here is that the government is uniquely positioned to come into possession of most keys that it wants (or more indirectly, render them useless by including them on sanction/embargo lists).
Starting a company is easy. What's hard is getting one off the ground and reaching escape velocity, which seems to be one of the most challenging things in the world.

I'm usually trying to start something, whether it's a regular ol' side project or something that could conceivably be a business. But my ideas are almost always more ambitious than I initially realize, or than I'm able to actually chew off, and I bet a lot of people fall into that trap.

Yeah, I could make a one page app that sells quality cheat sheets using Stripe, but why bother when I could make something 100x more complicated that I'll never actually finish?

A lot of people avoid making a business because they are smarter than I am and they realize that it's way more work than is appreciated.
There are 1000s of VCs out there. Try going after the non a16z ones. If you're numbers are good let them know in the subject line. "Virtual Events for Farmers - 15% MoM growth - Stripe #'s attached"

I think about this regularly. Being poor is more than not having material wealth. Apple's Steve Jobs had a period of time where he had no money. But he was never poor. He had no money by choice. He knew what to do to live a comfortable life any time he wanted. But there are people that will always be poor no matter how hard they try. They just don't know how to get ahead. I think that is due to what they learned from their family. A successful family is able to teach their members how to be successful in life even if money is never exchanged. Having the right family that can teach how to be successful even if it's just by example is a great advantage.
This is why I added "assuming it’s reasonably liquid" to my initial comment. If one's wealth is reasonably liquid, then I don't think it makes much sense to make a distinction between whether it's "capital" or "money." For the vast majority of people, I think this is a reasonable assumption. If you could liquidate the deceased person's estate and exchange it for consumables or capital and donate those to a good cause, is that really worse for society than the nebulous idea of increasing the value of everyone's money by destroying the deceased person's money? I guess I'm having trouble seeing the distinction between "destroying existing capital is bad" and "destroying money that could have been exchanged for capital or used to create capital is good."
wouldn't be surprised if there were multiple language versions of that scene, to make sure everybody gets it.
Aren't bonds sold at a fixed interest amount for x number of years?

In that case, why would a higher interest rate affect the ability to pay historical debt?
That's exactly the point. If you define the universe to include only Bitcoin, then yes, transactions are final. But if you define the universe to include the real world, then the answer is no, not really -- governments will almost always find a way to reverse the transaction, whether it's seizing your private key, or holding you in contempt of court until you divulge it.
Yes, they are selecting for citizens with a valid ID. That's the point!

And, no, the law doesn't need to ensure every citizen gets a voting ID. How would one even do that? The voter rolls are out of date and don't contain every citizen. Also, how would you ensure the right IDs get to the right people?

You, as a citizen, do not have an inherent right to vote without having the ability to prove you are who you claim to be. You, as a citizen, may have to experience some inconvenience to get a valid ID if you don't have one already. As long as the inconvenience is reasonable, it should not prevent the creation of voter ID laws.

Yes. In a narrow technological definition of "final", you're right. However, not in the societal or legal sense.
If I had to add another thing, please for the love of god do not reinvent the video player for the sake of re-inventing and don't cripple it for fun.

I'm looking at you Netflix, who until very recently didn't have playback speed settings but also use HTML5 videos so if you have an extension that allow you to change it but would work for a few seconds and then break the Netflix stream because they are doing something weird with it.
It not a DRM Thing because it works just fine on prime video.

Also like the post said prime video please regroup all of the seasons under a single jacket, telling me to continue watching TV show x at season 1 when I've already binged through to season 3 without clicking on their jackets is a sucky UX.

> I don't want a smartphone OS, because then the battery life is inevitably going to be many times worse than the standalone mp3 player batteries of old. I don't need an app store, or a battery-sucking high quality display screen for watching videos. I just want it to play my music.

I think you're overcomplicating this.

Modern mobile SoCs have evolved hand-in-hand with Android OS to be power efficient, perhaps equivalent or even better than the iPod Classic SoCs of the 2008 era. Using a modern 14nm or smaller process on a modern smartphone SoC isn't going to consume much power at all, even when running Android.

The screen is primarily for the GUI, not video playback. If you have a giant music library, navigating with a full, responsive screen is far better than spinning the old iPod click wheel. The screen can turn off when you're not interacting with it.

The products you're describing basically exist: https://www.fiio.com/m15 Battery life is around 15 hours, it has very high quality components, it has modern charging ports, and you can drop a 2TB card in it for twice as much storage as you need.

However, like all niche products it's not cheap. I think when most people see the price of a specialty, low-volume product like this they quickly become more than happy with just playing the music out of their phone.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense!

Is there any way that we can contribute? Like, if I watch a video with CC turned on, it feels like it would be easy for me to upload the CC file(s) to a central server, keyed with the ID of the video. Any user watching a video once would be enough to add a video to the database, and we could crowdsource indexing this content to help burden some of the load?
Isn't the point that you don't just get to decide whether or not the cash is legally yours? So you might have possession of the box of cash, but might not be the owner, for example.

ATMs already have two factor authentication (card plus PIN). What more do you want? Many banks will reimburse customers for losses if their ATM card is stolen, and modern ATMs even have surveillance cameras to assist with investigations. There's also a daily withdrawal limit (typically under $1000) which mitigates the damage.
I wish that's why we all are doing this
I think you missed the point here -- people synonymize googling with searching and therefore aren't choosing to google -- they're choosing to search but ending up using google despite having made no conscious effort to do so (it's just there).
> The spirit of Markdown is succinctly described on DF's Markdown project website.

> "Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format."

The third/fourth person to quote the original article while failing to acknowledge this paragraph from the same article:

> The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions.

Your quote brings up two things that might be in conflict sometimes:

1. Being easy to write

2. Being easy to read

Given that the “overriding design goal” (my emphasis) is to be as “readable as possible”, it immediately follows that (2) takes precedence over (1). Which is why you assertion here:

> While Mermaid isn't as nice-to-read, it's still easy-to-read. It's also much easier to modify than ASCII art.

Misses the point—the original spirit is to be easy to read, and that does (by implication) take precedence over being easy to write.
US did this to themselves, FATCA et al pushed very aggressively by US government through regional/EU governments. Same goes for ie Switzerland, land for US retirees on very opposite wealth spectrum compared to this article. Now there is like 1 bank in the land of banks that accepts US citizens.

And first part of the OP's statement is true - its easy to retire into southern Europe from wealthier parts of Europe. Quality of life, safety, healthcare etc is usually more than fine.

In my model, "tribal membership" is associated to a subconscious response we have to others when we recognize "sameness" at some level, and we subconsciously lower our social transaction cost expectations with respect to them. This is very closely related to "trust", which is largely a belief, towards a person, that we can predict their behaviour in a variety of risk situations, and it will be aligned to our own interests.

It covers a lot that other commenters have mentioned.

So with respect to the properties you've listed, it is rare for me to find someone where there's a mutual recognition of "sameness".
I’ve been keeping my inbox perfectly organized for years, and it is my todo list.

If I want to add an item that didn’t originate from a third-party email, I email myself.

A pin/star means it’s waiting for me to be done. No pin/star means it came in but I haven’t assessed it yet, these tend to be on top.

I get email notices for voicemail so it’s a central funnel.

I extensively use filters/labels to keep automated mail out of my main inbox. I aggressively unsubscribe from anything non-essential.

Everyone has their own preferences but this works great for me.

I know essentially nothing about HIV. I know a little something about using fasting to successfully treat an incurable condition.

I didn't share that because it is routinely ridiculous levels of drama for me to comment on that and some people here absolutely remember me and target me.

I have some mental models for why I think fasting is beneficial. I didn't share those because those amount to "personal opinion" and I can't back them up.

I am happy to hear medical reasons why fasting is unlikely to work for HIV. That's mostly not the substance of the feedback I got initially.
> As a regular, I disagree completely.

Well first, you took a well-meaning article discussing how HN can be toxic. Kind of a non-debatable thing, and you debated it. You started with "disagree completely" and I know you are COMPLETELY aware that emphasizing the completeness of your disagreement is argumentative.

While I don't think your comment is TOXIC I do think it suffers from the unkind, know-it-all argumentative mentality that HN has. So as a whole, it does contribute to the toxic nature of HN.

You are basically accusing the author of "only reading the toxic parts" without you knowing whether or not they did that actually. You just assume that's what they did. Which is called a "bad faith" argument.

I probably missed the window on this conversation, but what I want is a halfway point between Discord and Reddit.

Yes, it's probably proprietary.

- I log in to one website, and I see all my forums.
- I don't want to log in to seven different forums. Like Discord, I log in once and see everything.
- Forums are private. Like Discord, they're not scraped, they're not open to the public. There are some very public Discords, but all of them require initial permission to access, which can be removed.
- Conversations are chronological, not the weird reddit tree.
- Forums don't have a permanent URL. There is no 'r/programming' or 'r/politics' or whatever. _Your_ programming community is different from _my_ programming community.

Companies keep switching their private forums to Discord because they don't have to host. What if we just had a centralized place to host a forum? That ran like a normal forum.

People could pay for 'Nitro', forums hosts could pay for QoL benefits in their forum, etc. Minimally intrusive ads. Stuff like that.

I realize it being proprietary perpetuates a lot of problems, but I feel like we nerds haven't solved the distributed <-> ease of access problem yet.
Yep! There's a massive amount of useful content on the web. A lot of it is just a pain to find right now, because the quality of search is bad and the amount of garbage is a thousandfold greater.

It's true that walled gardens have been eating up useful information and that is a real shame, but make no mistake: there's still a ridiculous amount of good stuff on the open web. They're not playing the SEO optimization game so they get buried.
Do people give comments on social skills in Google performance reviews? I wouldn't unless it was drastically lacking or causing problems. I wouldn't call anyone out if they are slightly awkward, doesn't make proper eye contact when talking, doesn't pick up on cues that the other person is bored, talks a bit too loud or too long, talks mostly about themselves, doesn't talk about anything else besides work, or doesn't talk unless talked to. None of these affect performance, but the lack of skill just groups the person into the socially awkward group. Not saying that the 20 minutes walks would cure that, of course.

Now, regarding social time with people I'm not doing projects with, I'm all for that, since information does not always flow freely within a company, and talking to people on adjacent projects could lead to new knowledge or collaborations, or at least be set up for such. It's also good if you become a hub of information for other teams, as that increases your value to yours and the teams you talk to. Information is power :)

Of course, as you said, you have to weigh this against other skills you can spend time on, it all depends on what you want from your career. If you desire to move up the hierarchy, soft skills such as this will grow in importance, as your work shifts from being neck-deep in technical details, to negotiations with other teams on how to achieve large initiatives. It's easier to catch someone's ear to talk about something you'd like to get done when they have a positive social impression of you.
You can literally scratch a "1" on a piece of steel and register it as a firearm if you want to.
Honestly, the world would be a much more amazing place if it would be taught in schools that just "it doesn't work" does not convey any meaningful information. I don't mean this as complaint, just saying that it's so extremely common and so simple it can be a part of curriculum or a social campaign that has potential to save a lot of human-hours (and lots of frustration) just by spreading a simple meme/idea.

Also, I can't say I perceive the dismissal from the quote alone. Those two short sentences feel like a very brief excerpt from beginning of a conversation so it's hard to gauge, but I feel that it's an exclamation of surprise that's non-committal and lacking an explicit offer to proceed with details, rather than dismissive (or worse). Circumstances, tone, body language, relationship and other things may make it vary, of course. Can't say it's arrogant either, "no way, it must work" is a legit exclamation that doesn't imply incompetence (unless, again, tone etc).

I'd say it's just passive, not taking any initiative to troubleshoot and communicating just the assurance that the problem must be solvable, then bouncing back to the inquirer. In my understanding, it's more of a lazy/not being in the mood, not dismissive (and I'd have a really hard time trying to call it "toxic").
I'm not interested in a pedantic argument. If you didn't understand what I meant then you should have asked for clarification. A search engine designed to surface useful information is not gameable if it is not in the business of generating quarterly profits from its own ad network. A site designed to drive traffic to itself can still try to hack the system by generating spam but without Google's incentives for surfacing such content because it serves ads from its own network there will be fewer such sites and useless content to go along with it.

At the moment Google is incentivized to uprank spam because the spam comes with ads from its own ad network.

Maybe depends on where you live. GP's experience rings true after living in SF for a decade. I've had a friend get punched in broad daylight by a homeless person, black eye and everything, and the cops responded "what do you want me to do?" Also know many startups with offices broken into, laptops stolen. Cops show up 4 hours later and say they probably won't recover the goods. When asked if camera footage would have helped, the answer is no - but you can stick up some fake ones as a deterrent.

There are conservatives of all sexual orientations, and anti-gay sentiment of various degrees is a popular subset of conservative ideology. These don't preclude each other, and the question of whether a conservative dating app will allow gay couples is legitimately interesting and could go either way.
