>"Violating a no-fly zone requires authorization, and hopefully thought.."

Putin did not sign for no flying zone. For him it is not a violation and as much as I hate this maniac he is under no obligation to respect NATO laws on non NATO territory.

Violating Ukraine the way he did required way more than "hopefully thought" and yet it did not stop him.

I think that no-fly zone is a guarantee to get nuked.

So, once Putin is dealt with, you're headed off to depose the Saudi and Emirati regimes?

Lenin started the Checka. Trotsky's complaint was that Collectivization didn't go far enough. We can go on and on. This party was rotten from the beginning.
I don't think we'll see practical attacks against it until one of the important ones goes PoS.

I definitely agree with that.

I think that's where PoS has some real weaknesses

Sure, attacks and mitigations for them are actively being researched. A couple of examples:

You'll "just" spend an extra $2000? I guess when the monthly payment on a 10 year loan only goes up a few bucks...
It's kind of similar to building a traditional portfolio in that you want to diversify; basically the overall 'goal' is to make it so that in the future when I need help, there will be enough people around with good memories of me/who owe me favors that I will get through it.

The way cash enters into this:

- Find some very small local non-profits or charity organizations. Find out what their average donation is, and then give them double for the next X years. Bonus points if it's a non-profit or organization that does something you might need in the future. Often you'll get to know their leadership. This is by far the main one.

- I'm upper-middle class but from a working-class background, so I help people with things like legal expenses, because a lot of people get screwed but can't do anything about it. Likewise, I might kick in for a deposit somewhere if somebody's living in unsafe conditions but can't move because they can't come up with an extra ~$700. This kind of thing you only do if the person's legit, obviously.

- I buy things that I can lend to other people/make relationships over. Have a snowblower? Lend it to my neighbor. Same with tools. I try to make myself a good neighbor to have. (Not just with cash, but that's one asset I have).

- Join spaces that put you in contact with others. Co-working spaces, maker spaces, etc. Take classes, get to know people. Bonus if the classes are something that will allow you to barter in the future if you're income-limited. Convert your cash into skills you can retain and barter with in the future.

This stuff also increases your network radically, which can be helpful if you need to suddenly make a career switch, or drop down to part-time.

This is easier to do in a small town or city, for obvious reasons. Standing out in NYC or SV probably isn't as possible on a software dev salary, but it is in plenty of smaller locales.

I don't know how it's going to work, but obviously the standard advice is less applicable in our situation.

This also allows you to easily shift how many assets/how much cash on hand you have, which can be key for affording financial assistance through a relapse, since so many programs will bleed you dry first and then be shocked you continue to need help.

That is completely orthogonal to what I am saying. I am saying that these sanctions and restrictions are only applied to US adversaries. So they do not serve at all, whatsoever, in any shape or form, to dissuade wrongs. They solely serve to create an unequal cost to the use of force, which creates a geopolitical advantage.

It has nothing to do with the moral content of anything, really. It's clear that the main criterion for whether this happens or not isn't morality, it's just whether the US approves.

Honestly I don't know if that's the answer.

Buses on highways tend to either have horrible bus stations in the median, which are often far from where you want to be and are incredibly noisy and riddled with pollution.

Or they have to go off the highway which requires either very expensive exclusive off-ramps, otherwise they get stuck behind all the other traffic on the highway which defeats the purpose.

I unfortunately think that 101 traffic in the bay area is pretty unsolvable. The main silicon valley area is incredibly low density and virtually unwalkable given the masses of parking lots.

I think the best option is to massively increase density next to Caltrain stations (which is starting to happen) and basically move all the development next to the train, rather than trying to build transit to the existing development.

Maybe new lines could be built on BART etc to make new corridors, paid for by big taxes from existing "sprawl" office developments far from transit to make them unattractive compared to higher density ones near train service.

It's frankly ridiculous that Apple Park was allowed to be built in its current form, for example. It's 3mi from Caltrain, has a ridiculous requirement for parking and is terrible land use wise (though it does look cool). It could have easily been a tower nearer transit, if it wasn't for NIBMYism.
When I looked into this, I decided against musl-cross-make because all the tools in there are way out of date. Due to its use of custom patches, you can't easily update it yourself; you must use their specific outdated versions. They're a full major version behind on gcc (it was two major versions behind at the time), and they're two minor versions behind on musl itself. Binutils is five minor versions behind. It was much easier to just fire up an Alpine build container with the latest versions of everything, and I'm actually capable of keeping it up to date. The Alpine folks seem to have more manpower at their disposal for keeping the packages up to date with upstream.
So uhh... Care to elaborate rather than just flaming in the founders thread?

I feel like I didn't interpret you incorrectly, because while I missed that it was a rhetorical question, I didn't miss that you didn't list a single way to affect systemic change outside of voting - which is to say that you have an individualist perspective on systemic change. That's why I listed those other options for action - because let's be real here, US electoral politics is a corporate duopoly between a neoliberal party and a vaguely conservative, trending towards fascistic party, neither of which are known for advancing social progress (because the Democrats are wilfully incompetent). Thus, things like BLM protesting for rights or the progressive caucus of the Democrats smuggling actual progressives into Congress. All I wanted to highlight was that real political change happens outside the ballot box, and even though we don't have the power to enact change by fiat the way the powerful do, we can do things beyond just voting and trying to be good people individually, to advance progressive causes. That was all I was trying to say - I do think we're in agreement broadly speaking (though beyond being a progressive I'm also an anarchist, so perhaps we differ there).

If you had launched as a mobile app/website with written content, you would not have been as differentiated as you were as a newsletter-focused organization. You've always had a website, and now you're building mobile apps.

Do you think that in a few years, people will look at the the early days, in which you were thought of as a newsletter-based company, as analogous to Netflix's early days, where they were thought of as a DVD-by-mail company? I notice that like Netflix, you didn't pick a name that is tied to your first incarnation.

Regarding "the 101", I always wondered why it's "101" here and "the 101" in SoCal. According to an article I read, it's because the original Los Angeles area freeways didn't have numbers, just names: the Pasadena Freeway, the Ventura Freeway, etc. It only made sense to use "the". When they got numbers later, the habit of using "the" stuck around.

In the Bay Area, the freeways got numbers first. They do have names too (like the stretch of 85 mentioned above), but mostly no one uses their names or even know them. So there never was a habit of using "the" with the number.

Much as I dislike Adobe for moving this way, some of the comments on that page are misleading in themselves.

"Tiny grey text" - it's not that tiny if I can read it from the thumbnail provided.

"Really hard to read" - dark grey on white isn't hard to read. It's easier to read than the "summary" line of a HN comment (runnerup 10 minutes ago | parent | context | flag | on: FTC cracks down on hard to cancel subscription of ...)

And they do state up front before you click buttons to move forward "after 7 days, a fee will be charged to cancel", etc.

I think it's _onerous_ to charge a "50% of balance" cancelation fee, and excessive, but not fraudulent.

And not hard to cancel. Just onerous.

I see what point the author is trying to make, but painting an unpopular but important idea (renewable energy) is incredibly poor taste. All things considered a vehicle has to pay off its manufacturing energy cost. It would make no sense to so heavily penalize fossilized cars until their energy break-even.
The vast majority of people, absolutely, yes. I try to always look for alternative sources and look for "all sides" when it comes to news and stuff, but even I will admit 100% that I will not bother going past the first page of search results. If anything I'll make another search with more biased keywords to look for what I am actually interested in, but I'll rarely if ever go past the first page of results. I consider myself to be aware of most online misinformation or tactics and I still fall for this, I'd be surprised if the vast majority of "normal" users would be even more affected by it.

>It's worth noting that both of those examples were from the opinion section.

I mean that's a common refute. It wasn't news, it says opinion. Would you defend Fox News with that same argument? Also, opinion is just as curated as the news. You don't seen any editorials by David Duke on the NYT.
I have personally discovered compromised websites where threat actors can use code injection techniques to rewrite the recipient fields of contact forms. Basically, they inject their own email content into the contact form and then spam the email to known contacts of the compromised business.

The result is that we receive mail that appear to come from sales@legitcompany<dot>com because they legitimately do come from there. But the content of the email is malicious.

I've reached out to the IT departments of these vendors on a dozen occasions for this and similar activity but I've only EVER heard back from one who confirmed they were dealing with a breach.

This is why I believe that for a medium size business to be secure, they need to have a dedicated IT person on staff. Small teams can get away with MSPs but they really do no favors for medium-large organizations when used in place of on premises IT. Oftentimes they even outsource overseas without warning, reducing overall security.

Imagine paying an MSP to manage your network and then find out they basically just subcontract that out to some Indian firm from Fiverr. I've had that happen before too.
I wasn't aware it was up to Putin..

But assuming your logic is correct, we're screwed anyway. Putin has always wanted to rebuild the USSR. He's annexed territory in the past, he's attempting to annex it now, and he'll attempt it again in the future.. So at some point, someone's gonna push the button..

I'm interested in hearing more, I recently had a Substack recruiter reach out to me and was curious about this because I work at a tech company w/ some internal "activists" (I don't consider them to be activists).

How would you talk about it with them while hiring? It seems like you might need to bring up uncomfortable (and potentially risky) things like politics (?) during an interview?

What to do if your employees start doing walkouts or what not? At the company I work for this happened. A lot of people don't feel comfortable standing up to the ones who are most vocal about cancel-culture (if you disagree with them you may be labeled and considered a "fascist" (ugh) or even worse a "nazi" and your career impacted), I find that most people just stay silent in the face of this and the organizers of these movements seem to rule the roost in the workplace.

I'm not saying that I enjoy watching war footage, I'm saying that there's a severe dearth of it in conventional media, to the extent that for the first three days of the war I was saying to myself 'is this war really happening, apparently the tanks are rolling in, where's the footage?'

Not even this. It's worse when you end up with a whole bunch of tedious, yet very basic work dumped on your by people who have no desire to know what they're doing because "the database guy" can just do it instead.

A full lockdown like we had at the beginning would halt even Omicron - it is not that much more contagious than the original. Unfortunately the narrative settled on it being 'mild' and 'super contagious', therefore there was not much we could do about it and it didn't matter anyway. There are practical and ideological reasons why a section of society would wish us to fail against Covid, but that is outside the scope of this discussion I feel.

Measures such as customary mask wearing in public places, better ventilation, less tolerance of the 'walking sick' would certainly have an effect on the infection rate. If we are looking at a situation where health issues become more severe with each (re)infection, then this may be a reasonable approach to take.
I want my window into the internet to be completely unmediated. A search engine should just search the web for information that you type in, and then show you the results. It should be a pure function. The opinions or desires of any corporation, advertiser, or government should not come into play.

I'm not really sure how to respond to that. It's intrinsically different.
