Show HN: I'm building a stupid website called Would You Do It For A Dollar?
I have had this idea for a while, for months if not longer, but I never actually implemented it. I was always busy with some other stuff. It's called "Would you do it for a dollar?".

In simple terms: people can visit your profile and ask "would you ______ for a dollar?", like "chug a beer", "hit on someone", "french kiss person X"... Then you fulfill the request and earn $1. You need to reach the payout limit before being paid out. I was thinking about paying out in Amazon Gift Cards and via bank account using Stripe. A buyer still needs to purchase coins on-site which the seller can later convert to cash. It's all still work in progress

Seems very unusual and interesting, but I feel like it will be abused, especially by requesting dangerous things, so it needs to be moderated.

I started building some very simple MVP and registered a domain. If you want to subscribe it would be great https://wouldyoudoitforadollar.com/

Site is already semi-functional. You can register even via Twitter, FB, snap, Reddit, Google and Discord. I decided to kick it off and put myself out there, people can ask me if I would do something for a dollar, but I'll do it for free. If you want, try me out.
Good points. I think there are two reasonable options:

A/ use cross platform to iterate effectively

B/ choose to iterate on only one platform, then build out other platforms as your ux stabilizes.

We chose B but acknowledge it’s an unusual option, and there a 30% chance in our minds that we’re wrong /shrug

Very cool! We do throttle our animations to the screen's refresh rate using requestAnimationFrame, so you shouldn't necessarily get 100% CPU unless the animation takes up the entire "frame budget" (on my machine the main example in the introduction is more like ~40-50% CPU on Chrome).

Some managers plan to penalize workers who don't want to return to the office
managers seem to get much more money than their corresponding peers on the software track according to this website.
Placing 5/7/11/n speakers plus a number of subwoofers also comes at the cost of interior design and practicality ;) It's just (usually) easier to do than proper soundproofing and easier to adapt to non-optimal room designs.
Damn, the guy doesn't say the plane doesn't respond to commands but "l'avion fait n'importe quoi" which implies more like the responses to commands are not the one expected.

why can't consumers critically assess ads the way they critically assess things like this post? what makes ads uniquely menacing?
>..Las Vegas. It has nothing but surrounding land to build on.

Not to focus on one single point of your post, but Vegas is in fact nearing the point of having developed the easy area in the surrounding flatland of its valley, and is now beginning to abut the surrounding mountains (and federally owned land). Vast tracts of surrounding uninhabited land does not necessarily mean it is easily developed and habitable.
I was curious about this, I have 2 conservative emails in my spam folder, one sent from a colo facility, and one sent from amazon ses. Both seem to have adequate dmarc and spf records, so I can only imagine that it'd be something in Google's filters.

Personal anecdote: I've given my details to both Republican and Democrat parties here in Texas. The only email list I ended up on the Democrat side was a local congresswoman's mailing list (but I've been phone-banked a ton). On the Republican side, I've wound up on 2020maga email lists, something called "middleamericanews", Texas GOP, something called "americasfreedomfighters", etc. A bunch are really low quality e-stores. I can only surmise that (at least here in Texas), there are differences in how the two parties partner with their mailing lists.
This is not normal, and they can't keep blaming it on having outsourced software work to low-paid Indian programmers like in the past.

It would be interesting to tally up incidents like these, and see if there is some pattern to what type of plane, manufacturer, geographical location of incident etc.
I had a major issue with Bank of America that I could not get any support on. I filed a CFPB complaint and was directly contacted by a representative the next day who solved my problem.

Complaints are a big deal for these banks and fintechs; if the complaint level gets high, the auditors show up and plant themselves in the office and start digging. And when they start digging, they find things... things that end in public fines and damaging press releases.
I really don't mind targeted advertising.

One the ads are more relevant.

Two because the ads are more relevant the advertiser makes far more money on them and therefore doesn't have to show you as many to fund their service.
Yes, doesn't work on iPhone SE (1st gen) or any iPhone set at larger text size (which is a similar resolution). Unfortunately many websites are not testing for this screen resolution any longer.
> Second, and far more important, meshing all your devices into a single flat network is dangerous. There is a reason why networks are designed with isolation strategies. Introducing an overlay into your networks breaks down these barriers for you, but also for an attacker.

What prevents you from meshing the individual services on a per-need basis? The fact that they're overlays makes them even more convenient for such isolation.

> The only overlay network that has built in firewall capabilities is Nebula.

Are those built in firewall capabilities really missing from the other networks?

As far as I know, ZeroTier is more of a SDN that an simple overlay (That's what made me interested in ZeroTier in the first place).
If conventional "L4 transport-layer" firewall/routing capabilites are enough for real networks, then ZeroTier SDN capabilities are probably enough for it's virtual networks.
Granted, it doesn't have some nice built-in high-level generic "L7 application-level" firewall capabilities, but I don't trust those in the first place.
It apparently only does take 3 characters to offend people.
Oh cool; you're also using this for robotics I presume (based on your Twitter profile)? Makes sense; lots of data to process there.
Paul Krugman wrote about globalization: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-10-10/inequa...

1984/85 China created a bunch of foreign investment capitalist zones with very low taxes. Everything the republicans ever asked for.

This move by China can be considered a catalyst for the eventually collapse of communism in 1989 and their need to massacre loads of capitalists at Tiananmen Square.

Today's irony of people like Trump and Biden and their war with China is that they aren't at war with china... they are at war with capitalist china. Their problem with China can be completely eliminated by setting up free trade zones with ultra low taxes of their own.

Globalization isn't over because nothing actually changed.

Global culture wars is not really a thing neither.

>People don’t want to blend into a homogeneous global culture; they want to preserve their own kind.

Hence why there's a china town in many cities. There's no need to melt down cultures. There is no culture war of chinese vs american.

Even in the sense of limited USA culture wars that never happened anywhere else in the world. Trump, gamergate, wokeness, whatever. That is over now. This culture war is part of the past. That was the post-millennial generation.

The culture war is over and the homelander generation is now. As the name points out, there will be major polarization and sacrifice. The homelanders will be known for creativity, innovation, and being overly protected. The helicopter parents will be a key factor in forming much of their personality. Conformity will be so thick you will gag. Obviously also the opposite of people who oppose conformity. Those people will produce art that becomes tremendously valuable.

The real big deal... this generation will have a nightmare experience. There will be a world war and/or revolution. It's quite improbable that the revolution will be peaceful.
This is nonsense. It’s just generating the most likely image. Probabilities are not in and of themselves racist/misogynist.
> The vast majority of people who work in the tech industry are perpetually 5 years out of university.

> So the vast majority of the time we get the same tools, the same frameworks, and the same ideas poorly reimplemented over and over.

I heard that at a talk by a salty tech OG. My experience doesn’t disagree with his observation, but I do have slightly more hope than he had.
Swimmers and cyclists also shave part or all (public) parts of their body. For swimmers, "shaved and tapered" performances are classed apart from the rest. (Tapering refers to reduced workout intensity, shaving to removal of body hair.)
Expecting a lot of armchair NTSB investigators to rock up here, but honestly not much indication on what happened until the appropriate authorities can pull the data recorders out of the aircraft and see what was going on.

Looking forward to reading what happened but until then…

Interesting observation that the controllers and pilots were speaking French to each other. They’re really not supposed to do that (English is the standard for ATC, in part so other aircraft can maintain situational awareness) but that happens a lot in France.
The innovation isn’t the credit terms—-it’s A/B testing copy on the item & checkout page of e-commerce.

Quoting on-demand loan pricing with clearer upfront payment amounts is more intuitive to consumers than “putting it on the credit card”.
I know about the pilot priorities, I took flight lessons. Only a few so far, but, as you point out, that's really a day 1 thing :)

Either way, my point stands. That sounded like one distressed crew. They didn't panic and lose it, hats off to them, and likely the good training and experience helped there, but the edge in their voices gives you a distinct feeling of how serious things must have been.
Hi! Affirms scores (evaluates the risk) of each transaction in real time, which allows then to have reasonably low bad rates. Very few lenders can do it.
Is it possible they did not disengage the auto-pilot?
I stopped reading the comments when one was literally generated using AI and said as much.
There is a further discussion among pilots here:

This is called a "vibrotactile display", and they've been around for a good, long time.
The implicit assumption here is that 100% of the training data comes from regular Gmail users and it didn't start off with any seed data provided by Google employees.
DTS needs to work that Sony relationship and convince them to convert their surround format to DTS:X. Maybe even allow it for free just to keep their format alive.

The current PS5 3D-audio solution is good only for headphones. They have a "virtual" height option for stereo speakers, but it released to terrible reviews. No 7.1 virtual height speakers, though that's also supposedly in the works. I'm not optimistic it will be any better. Those who invest in good audio setups don't want it either way.

Give us proper 3D audio Sony, this is something Microsoft has had since 2017.
Is that really true? Anecdotally, I have no trouble keeping track of where my arm is when I have a coat and gloves on :)

I wonder if there's a side effect of anesthesia that inhibits the body's kinesthetic sense.

Not to mention that it is perfectly possible to lose an aircraft without losing the pilot.

My understanding; ip adresses are considered personal information. You are allowed to store them in your log for security purposes, without consent (legitimate interest). But if you use that log for analytics, you need consent.
If someone doesn't have a government ID, the state probably doesn't even have current contact information for them, know whether they're a resident or not, or perhaps even know they exist.

That's exactly how I have used Affirm in the past ;)
Being so selective means that only those with the highest credentials get approved - and we all know how these credentials can be harvestered: 90% nepotism and elitism, while only 10% skill. Those 10% will be the brains, while the 90% will bring the network onto which these solutions will be promoted

Unlike those real-world counterparts, they don't make money. Also unlike the real-world ones, they're making loans so risky that they're apparently having issues selling even the highest-rated ABS tranches right now.

Whenever there is a lot of money on the table, these types of individuals will definitely show up in droves. Hell, do you think CS is fast becoming one of the most popular majors because most people love computers? For 60-70% of software engineers, it is all about making money and retiring.
Woah. Thanks! That's actually weirdly really useful to know for my "internal dev tools" hackathon projects.

There's a misconception that when you initiate a chargeback through your credit card, then you're good, you have your money and the merchant just has to eat it.

But the chargeback doesn't erase your debt with the merchant, so they are free to collect that debt by other means, including sending it to a debt collector.

Adding a third party like Affirm makes this messier - Affirm (presumably) fulfilled their service, they let you finance the debt and they paid the money to the merchant
>personally I was always taught to go through your credit card/bank.

For direct merchant/service provider purchases. Different beast than an installment loan, legally speaking. Regardless of Affirm botching things after the loan was paid, I suspect that the party reversing and withholding payment on the loan was taking a contractually and legally indefensible position.
Oh I got that part, its just in a thread about crypto enthusiasts and professionals we are really wondering what/why 0x is being used for because this crypto professional didnt notice the extremely high correlation while using it in their other unrelated persona? kind of absurd, but its nice how polite everyone is being about it

I still remember the day, when the browser would show you a pop-up "Allow somesite.com to set a cookie? Yes - No"...

Something like that (with a "remember this choice" checkbox) would be so much more economical, than making every single website implement it individually. When the browser does it, then websites also can't ignore it, cheat it, or use dark patterns to avoid it.
They are the results of human design though. We have to aspire for more than bias laundering, otherwise we risk the biases multiply
Open to how you'd solve it. Fill up the overfilled jails and hospitals? Can't force people unless it's a 5150. You literally cannot stop what is happening without going full militarized police and how is that better?

Best thing you can do as a tourist is know where you are. It's no different than unsafe areas of Mexico and LA? You gonna stay near skid row?

SF weather and wealth is going to attract homeless and drugs, and unless you want to break the law to stop it, adapting is the next best thing.

Actually NVM it's just easier to shit on SF and act like everyone there is an idiot and the solution is simple.
> tldr: I'll never use Affirm again because when there are issues with their payment system that could severely impact your credit score for years, their customer support is unequipped to help and their underlying support infrastructure is poorly designed.

The story of pretty much EVERY startup. What will it take to get these clowns to focus on customer service and properly build out infrastructure? How much is enough fintech recklessness?

You don't just have to prove your facts. You also need to be acquainted with the current law and literally centuries of case-law. The burden is immense for an individual.

The same CEO donated to the far-right convoy in Canada.

I'm not sure he's the most trustworthy voice, sounds more like a Fox news rant about how SF is a hellhole (also includes a dig at the left-wing DA for extra virtue signaling).

scp and sftp make sense, but is that really the case for rsync?

As far as I remember, rsync does a few neat tricks like hashing files on both sides of a connection to determine whether it's worth transferring them over a potentially slow connection, which would not work with pure sftp.

Yesterday on France info, someone (a military pilot?) said the black boxes were probably already read and he said that it's probably not a generic problem of Boeing 777 ans as the administration in charge would have already told it if it was the case.
with mutagen you have a 1:1 copy on your local machine and remote machine. If the connection drops, you have still all your files on eg your laptop, with sshfs your files are "gone" locally. If your connection is back again, mutagen will start the sync and upload/download files again (only changed) so there is again a 1:1 copy.
Interesting. I'm kind of shocked at how much one-family dwelling there is. I would love to see expansion to Richmond, Delta, Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam as there is a ton of commuting population that ingress and egress to Vancouver.
I would wager that for most Gen Z-ers (and younger), their emails are used only for two things: confirming account registrations and communicating with older people (a la teachers, businesses, etc.) Most of their inter-demographic non-realtime communication is likely social media and texts.
> Do you have experience with the Alabama AG office not responding to a consumer complaint?

No, but it was a specific example cited by a prior corporate counsel. (We had an irate customer from New Jersey copy their AG. We were informed that Trenton is no Montgomery, the message being that if we didn’t promptly and properly respond their AG’s office would get involved.)

I live in Wyoming, by the way—our AG is likely also easy to contact but hard to get to follow up from. One of the trade-offs of living in a small-budget state.
People is reinventing PHP xD
As someone that never goes in debt and would never use Affirm, I still realize these types of services will impact me.

Just like with high cashback credit cards, they have large merchant comissions, that in the end have to be covered from the other customers to show only a single price.

I end up subsidizing other customers by a tiny amount, and just wish for regulation to stop this micro-theft.
Great work. Put it on my favourite list now. Do you have any tips for debugging? I use the same combo Rust-WASM for my Glicol music programming language:

The audio runs in AudioWorklet thread while I guess for Zaplib it runs in Workers, right? Did you use SAB in Zaplib?

For me, one use case is to use Zaplib for visualising the audio. The built-in canvas and 2d drawing is really slow. Yet one concern is for the support on Safari. It really has a slow support for SAB. I have to switch to postMessage on Safari as a compromise.
The methane largely comes from organic waste.

A good chunk of this organic waste can instead be composted.

The main benefit of composting, as I see it, isn't to enrich the soil of whatever, but to prevent greenhouse gas emissions from landfill.

I'll take it one step further. Most people doing CS don't have a love for generic crud apps pipelining information over the web, but that's the far majority of safe jobs paying well as a software dev.

There are plenty of people who go into CS for more passionate fields such as game development. They often end up taking one of these safe jobs anyway.

You are too romantic about it. Read the other comments. This is such an excellent idea, but it's a closed sourced system wrapped into sweet package. I don't doubt the output of it, but c'man man, we know better right ?
So in this case, they are trying to say that this costs the U.S. military an estimated $300 million every year, and also kills 30 (non-military and military combined) pilots?
You are correct, but the captain is ultimately the final authority how to handle anything that happens in-flight. If he or she feels that the checklist will not help, or will take too long, the decision can be made to do something else. If they survive, the captain can expect a lot of questions if standard procedures were not followed, but as they say, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

I think you need to clarify what "our company" means, so we can evaluate the significance of your statement.

Or is "our company" Jack, Joe, and Fred working in their bedrooms and collaborating over ICQ?
A perfect example of the "straw man" logical fallacy.
