Funny enough, I never heard of it until yesterday when I was looking to buy a book called "Calculus Made Easy" from Amazon and read a review that mentioned not to buy the book because it was a printed version of the it on Project Gutenberg.

I was debating if I should post up the link or not because I did find other posts that mentioned Project Gutenberg on HN when I did a quick search; however, I didn't see any post that mentioned Project Gutenberg exclusively in my search. I figured if HN didn't think it was useful then they'll just bury my post down or leave it alone. Also, I'm sure there were other people on HN out there like me who were completely oblivious that this project existed.

I'm glad I did mention because some of the comments on this post are really good.
What do I search for if I want to read up on that research?

In this case the dispute was with the independent Jersey government and part of their justification for the number of licenses provided was sustainability. You could argue that this justification was a lie I suppose, but it'd be good to have some evidence to support that.

OTOH, the UK government recently (2020) passed laws that overrode Jersey's independence in this regard and there were rumours that the UK was getting ready to basically give the EU what they wanted here in return for concessions in other areas, much to the outrage of people on Jersey itself. However, that hasn't materialized. So I guess we'll see to what extent you're proven right.
the part "Whether you want to follow in Neil Young’s footsteps or are already streaming music and podcasts through another service, deleting your stagnant Spotify account is a good idea." has nothing to do with privacy, but with an specific agenda.
Though I haven't deleted my social media accounts, I don't use them at all even on an occasional basis. I have them for reaching out to my acquaintances/old friends, access content behind login(when I've been shared with their links), etc. After watching The Social Dilemma(1), I've grown even more averse towards social media.

Many regular social media consumers feel that they get useful info out of it along with their entertainment content. Consider this, there are specific sources to get entertainment-netflix,local newspaper website's movie/gossip section,etc. And if one is looking for useful info, the chance of finding the info that is really useful/timely in the specific moment of their life is more via a web search than their infinite feed in their Facebook/twitter/instagram. If you really need an info then you wouldn't rely on random chance/luck that's needed in finding that in your feed.

Here in India, WhatsApp is ubiquitous, it is kind of used as a work chat as well when people are logged out of work MSTeams/Skype. So I have WhatsApp installed but I don't go to it to browse the status messages/pics people post, no matter how tempting it is :). I use other more privacy friendly apps for messaging with family and friends.

It is hard to tell people to stop using social media, sometimes people find it offending/intrusive. But the perspective of life changes if you don't use social media. You seem to have time for more things in life.

We also have to admit that many don't have the luxury(work/professional reasons) to avoid social media altogether.

Beeminder is great. However, it's all automated and you cannot set huge penalties for single goals. Also, It's limited to things that can be verified from fitness trackers and other apps thats many people do not use.

WorkOrPay tries to add more human interactions. We text users daily to make sure they aren't starting slack off. We help them form reasonable goals. Do verifications manually, so the goals can really be anything.

We are a mix between beeminder and a life coach.

Lancaster made a full recovery, and continued his career as a commercial pilot for nearly 30 years following the incident.

>Young men do need plenty more education and pressure on how to do it right.

People in general need more education on how to do it right. Women aren't exactly free of guilt on this.

>Anybody who doubts me should spend time reading Am I the Asshole.

This only confirms men are more often outed as poor male partners. A forum full of anecdotes being labeled does not imply a large population of bad male partners. That's about as ridiculous as going to 4chan and implying a significant amount / too many women are promiscuous because it has enough examples of promiscuous women.
Speaking of innumeracy, how would a person afford to save for a homeloan deposit, while also paying for health insurance, rent, food, and vehicle maintenance. With kids? Might as well hang yourself, before the kids hang themselves.

I'm in Australia, so the numbers are approximately similar, our minimum wage is $20.33 an hour, our public health care system had been eroded by successive governments, and never included non-emergency dental so you probably want to spend around $40 to $60 or more a week on health insurance.

No one on $19 an hour is buying houses.

If your minimum wage is $7 an hour, but the lowest paying job currently advertised is $19 an hour, let's just call the effective minimum wage $19 an hour, and base or assumptions off that.

Many people are living that way, sure, but, man, both the USA and Australia have turned to shit. Fuck being a young person today without the good fortune of being born with good genes in to a good family. People can't find places to rent even in the small city I live in, families are living out of their cars, or in tents under bridges.

In Australian! It's not like we're short on land, or wealth.

There's a book by Dan Charnas called "Work Clean: The life-changing power of mise-en-place to organize your life, work, and mind" that does a great job of explaining the system of mise en place beyond just setup and precutting vegetables. My favorite takeaway that has actually helped my organization in practice has been to leave a project/code base in a clean state after working on it. Sounds obvious but writing checklists for tests, documentation, setup for the next person, etc. has been really helpful.

About 19% of the US is immigrant compared to like 17% in Germany, so they are fairly similar. Can they bring the rest of Europe along though? It’s a huge challenge…
As a French abroad, so maybe more detached, I agree with you ! Maybe the president could have an impact if he did anything a bit revolutionary, but since they never do and simply soft manage the country to prevent any huge swing, it seems like they dont matter.

I guess we could say this is an accomplishment to manage to stick to european averages, one president could pull and Erdogan, move back to the Franc and explode the inflation or someth :D
The problem with analyzing based on your own experience is that you don’t experience the crime that you don’t experience.

Got it in Sweden today.
Originally I used BLACK, WHITE, SOUND, and tried to guess from there, occasionally throwing in GRUMP if the word wasn't obvious. I didn't like the repeated vowel, and knowing if there was a Y in the word would help, so I switched to:

AMUCK
FETID
SWORN
GLYPH

100% so far. One or two of those may have involved aggressively grepping /usr/share/dict/words, though.
That's a good point. In a commercial kitchen one can declare "bankruptcy" by throwing out a single dish (or perhaps a set of dishes if one component was bad and the badness wasn't detected before use). But in software, declaring "bankruptcy" is the dreaded ground-up rewrite. It's like burning the whole restaurant down and starting over.

I think another important difference is that software is much less predictable. Thanks to low/zero-cost replication, we spend much more time doing something novel than a commercial chef does. If a developer is doing the same thing over and over, that's a an opportunity to extract a service or a framework or a library. Whereas restaurants have much more predictable workloads, making it much safer to, say, chop 100 carrots than to write 100 classes in advance of need.

First, it's not federal minimum wage, it's minimum wage for each jurisdiction. So Washington state being $11 or whatever it is, not the federal min.

Second, for some reason I believe the propaganda that city living is inherently less costly despite it being pricier everywhere in the USA, so I believe rich city liberals need to change zoning to allow cheap housing to be built.

Finally, they're living that way by getting ostensibly making minimum wage, but with so high of commuting time and cost as to be making less per hour but working more than 40. Or by living in miserable conditions: in an RV, 8 people to a 3-bedroom house, etc

The situation in my case was so extreme that my father ended up with custody, but from what I’ve heard from others it doesn’t sound like the government is standing for the interests of the children. The courts for example, in my fathers parents’ divorce, gave custody go him and his siblings to his broke, alcoholic mother instead of his mentally and financially stable father.
It's possible that most people just dont want to be plumbers, right? Maybe they would like a chance to do something they think is more interesting.

> If you want liberty, start your own organisation.

Over the years, I’ve discovered a that what I really value is fully grasping a problem domain, deciding what customer problems are worth solving, and then aligning a team on a common vision of appropriate systems architecture to solve those problems. As a result I’ve ended up doing exactly this: I tend to move to organizations where I am at liberty to do this while still having the role of an individual contributor.

If you're ever wondering what the load address of a piece of code is, my favourite trick is to:

1) identify relative addresses of all C-style strings from the start of the binary

2) identify all absolute read addresses

3) find the load address where the most read addresses correspond to the most strings

This solves the problem for me in the vast majority of cases. If you don't have strings, function prologues work as well.

I don't think there's any tooling for this yet. I've had to write the same algorithm over and over. It works regardless of any header information at the start of the binary, though it will fail if there is data between chunks (but you may see multiple valid alignments that can hint to something like this happening)
Say it with me: right tool for the right job. Not every language should try to solve every problem. And not every problem is nicely solvable in every language.

As to the first point, the cost of this care had to be in the millions, or would be in the U.S. anyway. My MIL recently had extended care due to a fall and the bill was $500K. Fortunately after Medicare, cost to her was $1300.

In any case, it's still an extraordinary allocation of resources to save one life. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Norway:

> Expenditure on healthcare is about 7,727 USD per person per year in 2020, among the highest in the world. While the availability of public healthcare is universal in Norway, there are certain payment stipulations. Children aged sixteen or younger, and several other groups (such as nursing women and retirees) are given free healthcare regardless of the coverage they may have had in previous situations. All other citizens are responsible for paying a certain amount in user fees. If they reach a certain amount of money paid out-of-pocket, they receive an exemption card (frikort for helsetjenester in Norwegian) for public health services, and they no longer have to pay user fees for the remainder of the calendar year. The amount is 2460 NOK in 2021, or about 264 USD. Everything above this amount is given for free for the rest of that year.

She went on to become a radiologist so probably pays a decent amount in taxes now. As well, as a radiologist, she now helps to care for others. But still, she'll never "pay back" what was expended on saving her life.

I'm not trying to make any point here, other than that humans are weird in how we allocate resources to each other.

Edit to add:

I didn't mean to spawn a whole conversation about U.S. vs European healthcare, and my point above is not well made.

I'm just lamenting how 100 humans will come together to save one life while we still allow over a half million people a year to die from malaria. You'll see a dozen humans rescue a dog during a flood while I don't even want to look up the number of dogs that are euthanized. How the world came together to save those kids from the Thai cave, but we can't collectively figure out how to deal compassionately with immigrants.

I know we're just doing the best we can as a species. But I can still be both amazed by a symphony orchestra and sad that we use those same brains to build F-22s.

Also, FWIW, as a U.S. citizen, my vote is for Medicare For All, or failing that, a price-regulated multi-payer system like Germany's.

> "Standard" Ebooks also make their own non-standard editorial changes

I take the name to mean that their books all follow a “standard” (i.e., single, consistent) style guide.

> to modernize the language of the books.

SE will update archaic spellings, if they’re homonyms (e.g., ‘akehorn’ → ‘acorn,’ ‘centrys’ → ‘sentries’). I used to make similar substitutions in my own ebooks in the past, so clearly I’m in SE’s target market.

SE won’t update language in other ways as far as I know (they won’t censor or replace “problematic” words), or modernize punctuation in any way that changes meaning.

But if that’s not your cup of tea, Standard Ebooks does provide links both to scans of the original printed book and to the Project Gutenberg transcription, and marks editorial changes in the commit message so anyone who wants to can revert just the spelling changes.

> in practice it would take a lot of work to revert them.

I’m not sure what more you’d suggest them to do, other than stop using a style guide at all—which is the whole raison d’être of the project.

Women control the social capital and function as norm setters in our society. Fixing men won’t help if women and the prevailing culture remain broken. All the divorces I’ve witnessed, nearly every married childhood friend of mine has been the victim of unwanted divorce - in every instance initiated by women who simply wanted a younger, richer, more x partner. All were heavily endorsed by the surrounding social groups. It’s framed by their culture as an issue of women having equal rights to live life the way that makes them happy. Well who could argue with that. It sounds great that people should just be free to be happy, and to restrict women’s freedom in this domain harkens back to the past which we as a society have decided was a bad time, when women couldn’t vote and were the property of men. I can’t argue with that! But the children are robbed of a chance at something better, something their parents had, a stable family. Sometimes the little boys will then decide to become females. Who could blame them! I have learned that it’s better to accept these changes than to swim upstream like an old salmon or something. As long as boys can become girls, hypergamy seems fair, more symmetrical. That said, this current state of affairs amongs the coastal working class doesn’t seem like the optimal arrangement with respect to mental health outcomes.

I've been using Android since Google's Nexus One release. Although I enjoy the Android platform, I have huge issues with Google's services strategy and overall consideration for interoperability between their services. There's magic that's missing — magic that exists on Apple's platforms.

Also, the apps that Google does have are pretty terrible. Google Keep is not a strong competitor to Apple's offerings. The UI is terrible, it provides you with a long running list of your notes, labels instead of folders which is a fine option, but I'd rather have both for my workflow. Google Maps is an ad infested mess with more bugs than I can count. I'd be interested in knowing if it's as inconsistent and unreliable on iOS. There are features that straight up just do not work — it's unacceptable.

My biggest annoyance though? Google's love for A/B updates. There have been times where I've had a feature or option exposed to me just to disappear a few months later. I remember reading about new offerings in Google apps that could be accessed by doing x, y, and z. Often times the feature would be unavailable to me because it was "rolling out." I'd spend weeks repeating the steps to see if that new feature was available to me, but nope, it still was not. I eventually lost interest.

I'm not sure what I want to do for my next phone. The benefits of Android outweigh the cons, but on the other hand, maybe it's time for a change to experience what iOS is doing more. If Apple improves how notifications are handled with iOS 16, that might just provide me with the push that I need.

Oh... I also really love Twitter and iOS really seems like the best platform for Twitter. They have Tweetbot which has always been a gold standard, but there's also timeline syncing via iCloud. Mind you to take advantage of that I'd have to get an iPad and a Mac, too. At least the option's there though. Android relied on tweetmarker and when they died it left Android users SOL. Also, the only good third-party Twitter client on Android, Flamingo, is starting to show it's age and is no longer updated.

Ugh. The gaps between Android & Windows are becoming more and more apparent to me. Heck, Windows 11 still doesn't come with a good native calendar app. The default one by Microsoft is not optimized for productivity or even desktop displays. I digress, but still...

Anyways, I'll likely continue living in the Android world as its offerings are more aligned with my views. It's just hard accepting the recent mediocrity as a UX designer.
Both can be true. If environmental changes are also financially beneficial, that’s the fastest way to drive change. When it’s more expensive to be eco-friendly, takes a much longer time.

My SaaS app is a plugin for online stores. And I'm the solo founder working on it right now.

After Easter, the installation growth rate is slower. I think the slow growth is probably due to this seasonal factor.

I just wonder what other SaaS founders do when the growth rate is slower? Marketing? Talking to customers (Try to reduce churn)? Optimizing the system performance (To cope with high season)?
