I don't believe that forced one-on-one conversations are the only way to accomplish this.

You should consider how assuming, "Everyone works like I do, and can benefit from the same things I like" may be biasing you against people who don't think or act like you, or are not emotionally rewarded by the same things you are.

Don't know how many different firms you have worked for, or how many different groups you are in, but I have worked in enough different positions with enough different teams in enough different roles to know that this style works awfully well for me. And given the various successful projects I've been a part of (not all, of course), I'm reasonably sure that this style hasn't held me or the teams back.
I like this spec, and I also like the concept of an unsolicited spec as a format. It's like a Considered Harmful but it actually tells you what to do instead!

Yeah, this bothered me, too. His choice of definition for payments is unclear because it leaves out that very obvious and pervasive method.

He also describes a Bitcoin transaction as not being "final" because it was seized by the government. This isn't really what most people mean by finality.

So you never really know what he means throughout the article due to imprecision and it comes off as not compelling.
Legal shit is a nightmare.
Even when they offer the website they just break it with ads and heavy js. Places like cooking recipe websites and even new Reddit are terrible on mobile, borderline unusable entirely, because when you open a post, the comment thread is 1 inch wide on my phone with a 5 inch diagonal screen, and when you look at a recipe or a news article I only have about a postage stamp's worth of usable information surrounded by the junk. What's even the point of having such a huge phone if information density is so poor? I might as well have a 1"x1" screen if that's the dimensions websites are serving me for content.
Already started using other search engines Google is useless now.
A bit off topic, but i wonder why no music streaming service (eg Spotify) makes dedicated hardware with iPod Shuffle like semantics (but 1000x more storage, store just about all music you ever played plus lots of discovery stuff).

I can't be the only one who wants to be able to disconnect but still enjoy music, right? (and doesn't have a huge mp3 collection)

I bet on the inside it could just be a cheapo android phone with wifi but no gsm and the whole OS locked down to the Spotify app on extra-aggressive-make-available-offline-mode. I'd totally buy that and switch to whichever music service sells it.
This would make sense on Android, however as far as I've checked, on iOS you can't get this information precisely to reduce tracking.
> Nothing was "unwound." The government found the criminals' private key, which they were unwisely storing in an online account. That allowed the government to make a new transaction, moving the funds wherever they liked.

This is how "unwinding" works in almost all payment systems: Creating a second transaction to (partially or fully) offset the effects of the original one.

When Hearthstone first came out, the community asked why some cards were so bad. The creator replied along the lines of "they're to teach the community to identify bad cards and learn how to build decks with good ones". HN is very similar. It's a good idea at its core and there are many good discussions and articles to be found. But, there are also complete time wasters and stress increasers that exist only to teach you how to carefully manage your time.

Just like you can't pick 30 random cards and stick them in your deck to make a top-tier deck, you can't click a random comments section on HN and guarantee yourself a top-tier reading experience. That doesn't mean HN is toxic, it just means that there isn't always a meaningful discussion to be had even though the subject matter is controversial.
Every time you make a 'search action' it charges you, including changing categories on the site or changing the filters on the search.

Lets say you search for "Photo Of A Mother" * Then you click "images" * Then you click "Sort by Recent" * Then you click "Licence -> Public" * Then you click "Size -> Large" * Then you click "Size -> Extra Large" *

Every time I have put a star in the above is a time where you would be charged a search (so the above would be charged as 6 searches). It's the same thing with switching to news, applying filters, blocking a site or boosting a site etc - I've validated this on my Kagi account by clicking actions and seeing what it does to the billing, and just by using the search engine and using the lenses feature for example you can quickly rack up loads of searches.

Now let's say you search for an error while you program, visit the first site, it's not got what you want so you click the back button and then visit the second site, that's not got the right answer so you click back and visit the third site... That's currently counted as 3 different searches rather than 1 search. If you open them in different tabs it's counted as 1 search though.

And with all this then you are suddenly over 25% through your daily allowance on the $10 plan. Even choosing to 'block' a site in the search charges you to block it. They are talking about charging $0.015 per search if you go over-quota (which is something like 20 searches on the $10 plan), but as far as I can tell if you are using it moderately heavily you will blast part the 20 searches and could end up with an eye-watering bill.

I think the team are great, and when I was on discord they were really receptive, but I ended up giving up on Kagi after trying to use it as a daily driver as I figured they wouldn't be able to find a good enough monetisation strategy for my level of usage (after hearing discussions in the pricing channel). The product is good, it's just that they can't offer it at a price I can accept (and I suspect they can't offer it at the moment at a price that the market can accept, unless they can reach a deal on API licencing or roll their own search).
I wasn't able to find this when looking. When using Rockbox can the iPod still be connected to a car via the dock connector / USB and speak in AAP (Apple Accessory Protocol) to the car?

I ask because my 2015 Subaru Outback doesn't have AptX for BT, and inserting a USB drive full of music requires browsing by folder structure (ick). Thus, I use an iPod which very quickly lists music by artist and album and such. I've been keen on trying Rockbox so I no longer have to use iTunes, but I still need the thing to talk AAP.
Did that "killing homeless people" comment actually happen (and wasn't made dead in short order) or were you using hyperbole to make a point?

Wait, is the "The Terrible Java XML Parser" moniker tongue-and-cheek or sincere?

I remember JAX (the XML parser) really saving my bacon when I was parsing larger-than-memory XML files ages ago.
Everyone with strong ideological passions thinks that HN is stacked against them ideologically. People routinely say that not only about the community, but about the mods. These perceptions are entirely predictable from the passions of the perceiver.

I just happened to write a long comment about this to a commenter who sees HN in just the opposite way to you: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30346954.

Who's right? Neither. It's exactly the same perception, just with opposite polarity, because the polarity is coming from inside the person.

More precisely, both are right in the sense that HN generates enough data points for everybody to run into whatever they dislike the most; and both are wrong in that they dramatically overweight that sample, because that's what the brain does with samples like that.

What makes this perception so common on all sides is that HN doesn't partition the site into like-minded siloes (e.g. follow lists or social graphs or subforums). Everyone is in the same big room, so everyone is frequently bumping into views they dislike and normally don't have to deal with as much, at least not in their home base. The irony is that this is actually a step closer both to reality (society is divided on divisive topics) and to genuine tolerance (bearing the presence of what one dislikes). There's more about this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098.
Nature's $7 an hour general compute nodes are still too expensive to not burn money to try to make an equivalent at the cost of electricity and initial purchase.
Great article! The properties described are definitely something I look for in the software I create. Also, I can see a lot of these properties in our open-source project, especially Domain-based. The work we are doing goes a lot in this direction of closing the gap between the code, the developers and also the non-technical stakeholders.

I often wonder how much modern IT infrastructure is simply this mess of 'we have no idea how it really works' blackboxes strung together with API calls.

I suspect you're right about how much of a true understanding they (at google) still have of the behaviour of their search engine.

We're in agreement. I don't think quarterly earnings are the right way to design and build products. Maximizing profits is not correlated with value and is often inversely proportional to it. Google was so successful that they changed the incentive structure of all content on the web. Now they're like the yeast drowning in the byproducts of their own metabolic processes. They exploited whatever nutrients were available (hand curated links) to make them initially successful and now there is no more worthwhile content being generated that is not designed to rank highly on Google (which is not the same thing as quality content and is instead content optimized for generating ad revenue from the Google ad network).

It's the same with social networks, upvotes and likes skew the the type of content that is generated to be liked by the people liking and upvoting instead of being insightful. Popularity is not the same thing as insight so the social web is full of mostly useless but popular content.
Keep selected user profile (don't ask my kid to select their profile every time they open the app [e.g. on a Roku only they use]), disable auto-play, disable video logos on app startup. The latter two should actually be OS level settings that any app must respect.
Folks aren't asking for people to be locked up forever for this. A comment in the thread mentioned about first offenders getting no jail time, but needing to publicly apologize, do community service, etc. Repeat offenders should likely serve some jail time, with each offense bringing stronger punishment.

Doing nothing about this does encourage its behavior, especially since there's entire communities around doing it (kiwi farms being one of the worst).
I've made the argument that rates cant go up without significantly affecting how much the US pays on it's outstanding 30T debt. This keeps rates low, housing prices at the very least stable, and inflation pervasive.

Metafilter has remarkably high-quality discussion given its size.

I've been a member of various private email lists over the years which can be good, though those seem to have an active lifespan of 5--10 years, with 10 being a pretty extreme outlier.

Those communities become quite insular over time, and tend to retain less-interesting and spin out more interesting contributors.

Neither is it exclusive to the woke, or anyone else.

What I would really like to see is a concrete example, which so far everyone has declined to give. It's customary to provide some actual evidence to back up claims.

It's easy to save money, just pirate it !

You're right about it saving money, but maintaining a server, making sure there are backups and all the work and money you need to put into it can easily outweigh the savings for many. Just like building your own furniture, a lot of the time it costs more than just buying a table at Ikea.

But if you're having fun, it is well worth it.
Same. If you compare this to reddit, it’s like comparing the senate to a local pub on free shots night.

Yeah, So the federal government unwound the transaction whether they wanted it unwound or not. Which is in fact how it works in banking institutions too. A reverse of the transaction is issued that in effect unwinds it. In the real world sense which is the context of the article the transaction has been unwound or reversed.
The critical information the troll is trying to protect are the license royalty terms. Patent trolling is (legal) extortion, and the last thing an extortionist wants is their settlement price to become public. The information asymmetry benefits the troll as they can charge wealthier targets more.

Here's another less harmless aspect of that:

Something about my actual interests and activity apparently makes youtube think I'm into Fox news and all the crazy shit found there.

Now, who else has this same value judgement about me? This assessment that I neither declared for myself nor even ratified.

It's annoying but ultimately harmless that youtube shows me conservative wackjob stuff.

But is that same profile in someone else's database that marks me as someone to watch or something? Does it affect my insurance rates, my liklihood to get extra scrutiny when travelling, my ability to purchase or register a firearm, my access to jobs that might be extra sensitive or responsible, basically any of the things where someone either private or the state does any sort of background or credit check on you for any reason, and there are really many of those when you think a out it.

I'm guessing, today, it's probably not really affecting my life in any real way, but, there is no way it makes any sense to say that will still be true tomorrow.
> If the federal government disagrees with the bitcoin blockchain, then the blockchain is wrong

It isn't, though. The record is kept, and in fact the government needs to submit to the blockchain's laws to move any coin around.
I did this as well with the same results (but also have reason to believe genetics played a major part). But I'm not sure we're optimizing for the right thing. I'm far from convinced that accelerated language development is a good thing. I think development may suffer in other areas.
This is something I notice in advertising generally: whatever they most emphasize is least likely to be true about the product (e.g., the "great taste" of McDonald's).
On the off chance that's not sarcastic, I doubt we have.
It's a great point you have made. I work technically as a data scientist, but my domain is scientific data. I have quite a few GitHub packages and get recruiter calls for data science jobs almost every week, with pretty generous salary offers.

And from what it seems to me, there is a giant bubble. The vast majority of companies doing "data science" jobs are things that a smart undergrad can do with a month or two of training. And this is because I believe C-suites have completely gulped down the data is oil mantra. There are entirely charlatan companies with unicorn, even decacorn valuations now being built on this mantra - for example, CRED in India.

Yet, as you said, and as I believe too, most of the data is worthless.
This answer does not quite capture my own experience on HN though
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Works at an enterprise level (e.g. exchange rate providers) but would be a bad fit for a B2C product.

Managing customer expectations on api key usage (esp. if that key is publicly visible e.g. URL parameter vs. HTTP header) is not worth it unless you have higher-priced products.

Also api keys would mean you might have to prevent re-selling, etc. Furthermore, they could still analyze api key usage to get the same historical data on you as if you logged in.
"Easy to work with", "member of the tribe" and "charismatic" are separate categories because the model is intended to embody the truth that social factors dominate, and to give hope and direction to those who are never going to be members of the tribe. :-)
I read through a lot of those threads, there wasn't much of value there, just angry people shouting at each other mostly. I'm not saying it should be banned, but I too stopped reading them eventually because what's the point?

Judging from your username, you're affiliated with rsync.net. If that is correct, then no. That's a very interesting service for offsite backups, though. At the moment, I just rent colocation with lots of HDDs inside and do the RAID management myself.

That depends on what you need and how long you can wait. I've already committed to launching 2 AI-based products in 2022, so currently it looks like I'll be fully busy until end of the year.

Services like Netflix are prepaid, as in you pay and then get service. No pay = no service = no obligation. It's mostly seedy operations that make bills like this post pay, they also make it really hard to cancel.
Ok then just don't bother responding if you view my comment(s) that negatively and poorly worded.

SSE comes from a time when browser APIs toward Javascript forced a full download of the response body before it was handed to the Javascript.

With current day APIs, including streaming response bodies in the fetch API, SSE would probably not have been standardized as a separate browser API.

'People are unhappy': Fed official warns on high inflation

I feel like the people I know who are most enthusiastic about Bitcoin are the ones who care most about generational wealth and the long-term mindset. There are tons of ways to establish backups for family members (multi signature wallets, time locked wallets.)
At a minimum, many companies will check ID before letting you enter the building. This seems like a security risk not to do this, and NDAs are hard to enforce if the person that signed them is not the person they claimed to be, so the approach in the article of "do nothing" may not really be a good one. Checking ID at a minimum seems fine.

That being said, Facebook was (as expected) particularly creepy since you need to use your real FB account for a lot of their tooling. Just by entering their (busy) lobby and without ever telling anyone who I was, they already knew my name and what I was doing.

India has tons of English speakers by raw numbers, but as a percentage it's below world average[1]. Obviously, it's higher in the more cosmopolitan areas where westerners are likely to go, but the same would be true of every country.

As of the Starship presentation last week, current production is 5 Raptor 2's per week and they are ramping up to 1/day. Starship is important for Starlink to finish its full-scale deployment cost-effectively, but if they deploy satellites at a lower rate on Falcon 9 this year it's not going to break the company. The delay right now is from FAA approval on Boca Chica launches, worst case SpaceX expects their new Florida Starship launch site to become operational before the end of the year.
