Makes sense, sometimes I find weird UX friction comes when you needed a feature, and didn't plan it in initially.

For the memeish stuff, it was under the example personas. While its fine to include some of these (ie: FIRE, looking for part-time), it'd be nice to have some examples for the middle of the road. A lot of what you mention isn't even on the mind of a lot of early career folks.

Something like "young professional, focused on building financial stability" or "trying to create more disposable income". Something that would have the same mass appeal as "has a defined-benefit pension, planning for standard retirement age" does to the older demographic.

Hey Slitherine is also the company where Tyrannosaurus Tex, the Game Boy Color first-person shooter was developed. The main developer left with the source code near the end of development, and it took decades for versions of the game to surface. Now it's commercially available, completed by a somewhat problematic reissuer of old games.
A downtick is coming for online advertising
It’s incredibly obvious. Just ask yourself, “How would I pay for 1 banana if a banana was 0.19 cents?”
> The problem with the DMCA is that if the claimant disagrees with your counter notice, the content stays offline until a lawsuit is fought out over the contents of the post.

Not quite. The obligation of the service provider when they receive a counter-notice is to inform the person who filed the original notice, and give them 10-14 days to file a court order to block the content. If they don't get that court order in that time, the service provider must put the content back up or risk losing their DMCA safe harbor.

This is awesome. I've been considering building a (very) simple version of this for my own use, but this is way better than anything I'd be able to do. I've signed up, and will try to keep up with using it!

Only criticism is that after playing with the sandbox data prior to signing up it stuck around and I didn't see an obvious way of removing it besides overwriting it with my own data. The plan settings was non-obvious for getting my data input started. I began with the Current Finances, rather than overriding the plan settings which made things a little odd.
> The browser must briefly flash the source's domain being loaded before the redirect comes in.

I really think you overestimate how likely users are to notice a redirect URL appearing in the address bar for a fraction of a second. Regardless, even with SE the distributor's URL will appear for a short time until the content has been downloaded and the signature can be validated, just as it would with a redirect. Anyone who actually cares to see which connections are made (which covers much more than what you can infer from the address bar alone) can open up the browser's developer tools and inspect the network traffic. Or you can fire up Wireshark if you're paranoid, but there is nothing in the proposals about hiding the true endpoints of the connections from the developer tools—just main URL shown in the address bar.

If you want to avoid giving the data to Google in the first place there is no substitute for checking the URL before clicking on the link, which will show the distributor's domain regardless of SE.
Having the money showed in today's dollars by default was tripping me up for a bit. The 401k provider my employer uses shows "future dollars" by default, so you have to mentally recognize that the buying power of 10M "35 years from now dollars" is not what $10M would do for you today.

Not helping my "11 months till 30" anxiety/depression. I don't know why it's messing with me so much. The internet loves to make is seem like your 20s are where it's all at but I spent it building a career rather than partying or dating... Leaving the "young adult" phase and just entering "adult". Also mega pissed that I started doing better in 2019 (international travel, lots of time spent with friends) and then the pandemic came and turned the world on its head and trapped me at home for the last bit of my 20s.
Can you elaborate on why it's a "dirty word"? I see a ton of potential with generative/procedural game elements, esp given all the recent AI breakthroughs. But I am more of a former gamer than current gamer and am surprised to hear it's a dirty word.
intersting, im not seeing anything that looks like it would be copywritable at "questions and answers" on that archive page.

I feel like hacker rank might be facing an uphill battle for this one.
> I think we're in a transitional phase for TV. Representation is a priority (great!) but the industry isn't fully confident with it yet. It's OK, TV has always been about the zeitgeist as much as the show.

> Perhaps what we need is also more diversity among writers/producers. Right now it feels like a lot of writers are handling their "diverse" characters with kid gloves which can leave them a bit wooden and gets in the way of telling a good story.

This is the answer. Seems like just a bit more time is needed for things to find less wooden footing.
I had a website which I was rendering statically using Jekyll. Overtime I had millions of pages, rendering was getting too time consuming and was taking up far too much of space.

I then moved on to PHP. Worked like a charm with $15/mo server on Google cloud. Excellent search performance as well.
For 1: you should already be able to add a milestone which has tax consequences; there's an option on milestones that lets you redefine the overall tax setup when the milestone occurs.

2-7: all great points; I'd love to add more strategies over time to help optimize scenarios like these, though I'll have to think carefully about what can be generalized and what is strictly US-specific.

Thanks for writing these up -- I'll be looking into them in more detail :)
Nintendo's old game catalogue strategy devolved into the Netflix model: subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online and you get an app with some old games in it. You don't pay per game.
Seconding this. They have been top tier for it's primary use, hosting a professional email on my domain. Secondarily hosting the website itself is good too. Just doesn't have PHP/mysql or whatnot. Which is fine for a static page.
Biden administration will appeal ruling that lifted Covid mask mandate on travel
Russians trade on it. Maybe they do have an overly rosy view of the company's fortunes, I dunno -- I don't know much about their business, how sensitive it is to the conflict and sanctions.

The stock price movement is easier to reason about, I guess. By that metric they've had a worse year than Salesforce, Netflix, Uber, Google. I'd agree that the conflict isn't good for them, but "worthless" is a bit strong for my palate.

> Your comment is sarcastic and not constructive.

It was sarcastic, but it was absolutely constructive of my argument.

> where is the magical easy button

>>> Regarding the inheritance

There. It’s right there. I don’t understand how this is not plainly understood as the easy button.

> It would be nifty to have a non-biased source

Yeah, right? Like what a great thing a source would be right now. I’m glad we can all find common ground.

> but I couldn't match the Fed's offer.

Sounds like the free market won. I don’t know why you’re complaining, this is what you wanted.
I think this is possibly a bit of a predictable trend:

A lot of people have been largely unable to travel for two years, many unable or unwilling to venture outdoors much at all. Industries that offer experiences (travel, concerts, etc.) are going to boom over the next couple of years whereas industries tied to being stuck at home are going to contract quite a bit.

The hard part is as usual picking the winners.
> Weird glitches. Flicker, or colors being wrong. Things running at the wrong speed. Things not rendering right. Sometimes the game crashes at certain spots.

A lot of those were there in the original, especially flicker on NES, which was due to the sprite limits. That's actually something you can turn off in modern emulators, because it's an old and annoying hardware limit on the number of sprites per line.

Some of the weird flicker/color glitches in the corners weren't visible or as noticeable on old CRT monitors, but they were still there as well because CRTs had rounded corners and some of the pixels there could be lost.

If anything, emulators let you have an experience superior to the old days to filters, ways to bypass sprite limits, etc. And some games have been extensively patched by fans (Final Fantasy 4/6j in particular) or were only translated by fans, etc.

That said, there are some differences in viewing things on a modern monitor vs. a CRT because of how the CRTs had more persistence due to how phosphors work and this could cause color bleed that's not there any longer.
Pax Americana exists for a reason.

It's not just America though, any sufficiently imperialist nation can create a peace; Pax Romana, Pax Sinica, Pax Britannica, Pax Ottomana all exist.
Ask HN: Thinkers that have greatly influenced your way of thinking?
What are some of the thinkers that greatly inspire or influence your work or your way of thinking in general? Or maybe the people you look up to, or aspire to be, etc.

And I mean "thinkers" in the broadest sense (eg writers, artists, bloggers, people in your field, etc.).

I think the HN crowd is super smart and would really love to learn about your influences!!

A list of multiple people (with explanations if you'd like) would be even better :)
Yes there is. Freedom of thought is the most absolute right of all, it's completely impossible to restrict. Freedom of expression, freedom of worship, right to remain silent, right to a free and fair trial are rights that you possess by virtue of being human, which an unjust government can attempt to take away from you (but with at most partial success).
I am not highly intellectual like you, but I think the main reason you'd be drawn to a country that "has a better culture", is their economical success, so there will always be this issue of countries successful economically being the "better culture".

In the example of tribe a/b, tribe a is weak, you wanna be with tribe b, tribe b require you to be strong before you join. Strength today is in term of labor output, if you are highly qualified (not only highly intellectual sadly) you will be invited by tribe b.

Also why would a country invite on the basis of you agreeing with them, they are full of people agreeing with them, they want people who are useful to them.

Also if someone who lives in a "better" country, yes it was given to them by their fathers and grandfathers, that's a privilege that they got without doing any work (it take some work to maintain tho), but they have no obligation to give it to you, or share it with you, you can't argue for it with "but I am sad cuz I don't have it too :(". If it is basic needs yeah, but arguing for luxuries I am not with you.

On an individual level, you do not hand people around you that are less fortunate than you in your society some of the privilege you were born with to the point that you made them your equal (economically).

Part of the DMCA takedown process is:

Has this penalty ever been enforced?
As far as I can tell, it has no output pins. So it's not comparable to Raspberry Pi (or other ARM SBCs). More akin maybe to an Android TV box? Short of making something through USB - you can't make your own header boards or easily hook up sensors and whatnot
I've been reading that this kind of thing will be used in political videos of politicians like to swing elections or favor, or geopolitical things

Since I read that years ago, I think its more likely that we will simply get a bombshell article a few years in the future that its been in use already for a very long time! Similar to how Cambridge Analytica information and other information warping info came out years after it was already in play on a broad scale.
You're all clueless.
They are not releasing everything they can. They still cling to the idea of releasing games drip-feed. The apps for Switch do not have every single wholly owned Nintendo title. FAR from it.
> Realistically, if we're docking next to a monitor

I sincerely hope that the future doesn't involve wires. Incremental improvement will be required to reach that future. This is one of them, so I welcome it.
They are auto suggestions. If you don’t want the feature disable it. But don’t ask society or the majority to agree with you. Most people agree with what google is doing and find it helpful otherwise they would simply turn it off.

They actually got rid of exactly that. You cannot buy Super Mario Bros. on Nintendo Switch. You can only subscribe to a service that contains Super Mario Bros.
You can always handle it at the application level.

The trick is that it's better to have the extra guard rails. And all of Couchbase, Yugabase, and Citus support foreign keys even with sharding and replication, so that's not an issue when the DB supports it.
Good call, I'll try to balance out those descriptions a bit. Doing the whole onboarding, current finances, progress points, and plan creation process 10 times, evidently I converged on too many common themes haha.
I’d be interested in building the bootstrapped “git push and we build and publish”, aka “heroku for static site compilers”

Chime in if you’d like to be one of the first few customers. If there’s enough interest here’s how I’d play it:

1. I won’t raise VC money. I know how to build a SaaS business without it—I bootstrapped Poll Everywhere from $0 to $10m+.

2. My motivations these days are to build low complexity products. Ideally they’re “evergreen”, meaning I can ship a core feature set that I know will be the same in 10 years. The feature I’m selling their is stability.

3. I like to price things in a way that makes them accessible to as many people as possible while being sustainable for the business so it can operate for a long time with the support it needs for customers.
You're absolutely right, I've edited my comment.
App server + Cache server == Static deployment pipeline + Simple file hosting. I don't think the latter is necessarily simpler.
Oh most definitely. Our conventional algebraic notation is only a few hundred years old. Things that we have children do in math class now were the domain of professionals 500 years ago. Imagine doing basic algebra without our familiar single-letter variables and the notation for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division you learned in grade school.

Leibniz's notation opened up Calculus in ways that Newton's geometric analysis did not (which is why high school students are writing ∫x²dx and not doing a geometric analysis of that expression). This is also why programmers are looking for the bright shiny language that will let them express what they really mean in their code without ambiguity. I think that we might still be looking for the algebraic notation or Leibniz notation for programming that will make everything completely obvious and will make future generations look back at our C, Python, Rust, et al and marvel that we were able to do anything.
Pornhub's premium service already uses crypto and has since the credit card monopolies threw them out in 2020. I just checked - the only other way to pay is by ACH.

If porn is the bellwether, then use cases have arrived.
Oh wow, a lot of fears people have in this thread apparently already happened.

Very interesting read. Nowhere on his desiderata does "uniqueness" come in. The rest of his examples show that it is indeed not a desirable quality, as the same abstract object benefits from different representations to make apparent its relation to other abstract concepts in each specific context. Or simply to reduce cognitive overhead.
It depends on what value you assign to owning instead of renting. No landlord to deal with and being certain you don’t have to move for as long as you want are benefits to owning that are worth a premium over renting.
It's cool that the repo has 3D printable cases. But are there any plans of officially making and selling a "ThinkPad killer" chassis where the laptop is more durable, has TrackPoint, and classic keyboard?
What is the penalty for a clearly wrong DMCA request? Does the company have any responsibility to correct their mistake? Or can I just go spamming requests to take down content all over the internet that I don't like?
Not poster either.

I know a bit about tree law in the USA. Neighbors have a right to trim (they must do it, unless the tree is obviously diseased.)any part of a tree that comes over their property line. It's a bit more nuanced, but that's basically the law.
(I belive the Tree Cutting outfit is suspose to cut the limbs with care. I mean they are not suspose to introduce pathogens from their tools onto your trees. I have Oak trees and worry about their health. I've noticed PG&E is hiring pretty much any out fit to trim trees. They are seemingly untrained. They don't know what that it's not the low voltage lines that are causing the fires? Years ago I noticed they don't seem to sanitize their chain saws. I once, before the fires, asked PG&E to spray a bit of bleach on their tooling through an email. The following day, there was a side show of sanitizer being sprayed everywhere, and they filmed it. I had no inclination of formally complaining. I just thought a quick clean might kill any pathogens. We have a problem in northern CA with Oak trees dying.

Oh yea, just because a healthy tree falls from your property and damages your neighbors property; it doesn't necessarily mean you are liable to repair their property. It's more complicated. If a lawyer reads this could you educate me?

I ended up just paying my neighbor, who's a lawyer, because a tree healthy tree fell on her property. The tree's trunk truck was 1/2 on the property line. I wasen't feeling good, and didn't want or could afford a fight with a miserable house bound attorney. From my understanding, I probally didn't need to pay anything. (I don't think she had a conversation with anyone without mentioned she passed the bar.)

Do you see it being equally problematic that U.S. Nursing grads are about 1/5 male right now? If not, why is it that this should matter in one industry and not the other?
Thanks for sticking with it despite the friction going from sandbox to premium! I did add a "clear sandbox data and restart onboarding" button a while back, but I'm not sure that hangs around if you go right from sandbox to being a subscriber. I'll take a note to improve that flow.
The last good original series I watched on Netflix is DarK. Really original and entertaining.

Most originals were shit. I cancelled.

I get Amazon Prime for free/quick delivery + music.

I found Bosch in it. Really high quality stuff. Good TV.
I was never really a fan of the original 'Colors' article but I think the analogy works really well for this client-side vs server-side stuff.

Red = client

Blue = server

Purple = either

I think I will use this if I ever have to teach it.
Oh, how I wish this were open source, so I could add my own custom inputs, views, code, etc.

I’d love to model ranges of uncertainty on, e.g., inflation, recessions, major events, etc. — I’d love to be able to play out scenarios around stock market dynamics, housing market dynamics, and more — and this interface is beautiful.

Part of me wants to make some mocks for you, in the hopes that you’ll add some of this… :)
Netflix employee sharing public info. Comp is set in cash and you can take as much as you want (down to minimum wage) in 10-year options. They're granted monthly, have the strike price set monthly and vest instantly. This won't cause a drop in comp for people going forward, but is a hit for anyone holding options.

Alas, different stack exchange communities have different cultural mores. The Japanese language stack exchange. for example, tends towards a certain ideological purity that the Latin stack exchange does not. Some communities tend to have the early members treat the communities as their own personal fiefdoms.

> I've now lost the ability to do first-party tracking of visits to "myBlog.com/some-post/" since EvilSearchEngine users never hit my server

See, this is one of the good things about the SE proposal. The source page already has all the tracking data; that's a given. But if the content is served via SE it reduces the number of other sites that get tracking data, which is very much a win for privacy.

> Maybe they'll introduce "allowing a publisher to restrict the set of distributors", maybe they won't.

It would make no sense for user agents to enforce such a restriction, since a valid signature shows that the content is authentic regardless of the identity of the distributor.
I don't think there is much if a debate. Our lockdown was disproportionate.
50k people died under the age of 50. Some were in lockdown some weren't. How many people committed suicide because of the lockdown? How many were abused because of it? What was the cost of the lockdown?
In a single year about 30k people under 50 die due to poisoning(drug overdose or other) and about 20k die from car accidents.
I dunno why but it galls me even more when I have to repeatedly tab complete to get to a really common command.
It's actually not. Text mode doesn't mean you have to use an 8-bit code like Code Page 437. You could just as well use Unicode. It really just makes GP sound like they're looking for an excuse to be snarky and they just come off sounding ignorant.
I'd want better mainline support for it. Either full mainline kernel support or something akin to it from Nvidia. My Jetsons were stuck on Ubuntu 18.04 since early 2020, with the old 4.19 kernel. They only recently beta'd a 20.04-based build with Kernel 5.10. Full release is 2022Q4. Somewhat like their "18.04" upgrade - very, very late. Sure, I could backport, try to upgrade on my own, etc. Some people have done so. Results were varied.

IMO, Nvidia is comparing themselves to embedded vendors. For general compute, I'd like vendors to keep up with the Fedoras, sids, and Tumbleweeds of the world, at the very least. Not asking for arch, btw :)

Hopefully Nvidia's server ambitions with Grace will see them take on general compute.
