It is, fortunately, a very niche view, but some organizations are indeed pushing for pedophiles to be included in the LGBTQ+. One recently controversial example is Prostasia. Another, from the UK back in the 1970s, is the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). These groups, and others, have been trying to latch on to the gay rights movement for a long time.

They’re as close to zero risk as you can get in the world.

If the US government defaults on debt, then I bonds will be the least of our concerns. So this is sort of an “all eggs in a single basket” type situation as USG pays a zero risk premium.
This is a great analysis of the kinds of compromise that 8 bit system designers were all making. They all made very different choices - the Cambrian explosion of different graphics architectures at the time were all different responses to how to get the coveted marketing checkbox of ‘full color high resolution graphics’.

It was definitely not clear at the time which approaches were best. Could Sinclair have made a different computer? Absolutely, yes. Would it have had the same impact? Unknown.

From the perspective of a programmer who grew up in the UK in the 1980s the idea that the Spectrum was a failure riddled with design mistakes is just completely ahistorical. It was the dominant home computer, it was the dominant computer gaming platform, and it sparked the careers of thousands of British coders.
I actually have plans of making some parts of the app accessible without having to log in.

Since I started the app by saving data to the DB instead of the user’s device, this is more of a technical limitation than a choice that I’ve made. I just need to put aside the time to implement it.
The community that actually understands this as a problem and attempts to resolveit is not the community to which I was referring.
Aside from the other good recommendations in the replies, I would suggest 999/Virtue's Last Reward (if you can handle some Anime tropes) for a story-focused game with some puzzle gameplay (the third one is... bad, but skippable) and perhaps Nier or Nier Automata if you want something with a lot of robust (albeit not best-in-class) action gameplay paired with its story.

All of the above (except maybe Automata) can be finished in a dozen hours or less, and 999 has a port that removes the puzzles entirely if you dislike them. (I think the puzzles are a core part of the experience, personally.) For Nier Automata there is an 'easy automatic' mode that lets you have the game automatically control parts of the combat system for you if you really just want to plow through the story.
I’m at an early stage startup. We’re just 6 engineers and 6 more on sales/logistics side.

Things move slow, and then fast. The benefit of so much being incomplete or just not there (lol what observability?) is that we collectively know it’s not there. We know no one can really change it today, so we put more effort and focus into the more pressing need — which is developing the product.

I find pleasure in that ability to focus.
The article quotes one of the principals of Andrews & Arnold ISP, which has for a long time traded on providing "real" internet - i.e. unfiltered. Their response to the legal requirement to provide a "filtered" option was a "I want filtering" button on the sign-up page that took you to the results of a Google search for UK ISPs.

As far as I'm aware, complying with this legislation could force A&A to impose filtering on all their users for the first time.

Would certain mailservers become out-of-bounds?

Presumably it would remain possible to ping any IP address, because that doesn't depend on URLs, and the explanatory note seems to say that URL blocking would be sufficient.

Anyway: this kind of nonsense is why I run an Unbound recursive resolver.
It is only fine if you are running your business on the assumption that people can and do leave for different reasons and you plan or adjust for it.

A startup I worked in struggled because someone had been given too many shares and then the CEO wanted them out but didn't want to leave equity with someone who wasn't working there any more. If they had planned that in from the beginning and not been so quick to hand out large equity amounts, they could have much more easily fired them and moved on.

Same issue with people who can't do their job for whatever reason. If you don't realise that is a possibility, then you don't think of success measures, targets etc. and so they end up staying too long before you realise they are not working, at which point it is even harder to get rid of them rather than saying up-front, "we expect X within 3 months".

Another blog I read recently said your hiring process is number one priority bar-none and I think I agree. So much of success is down to the right people that you need to consider all of this before your first hire.
The bar is more accurately described as "controlling the selectorate", you need to be whomever is able to rally the votes to put people on or off the council. That person already exists, and has a lifetime's head start. Good luck.
It's because in tech you are paid so fucking much that any ridiculous screw up you might do only affects you momentarily, you can still afford your bizzaro happy life, if you've fucked your savings money there's always more cash for rent, bills, enjoyment, on the horizon. Life become a fucking toy on some levels. There is no fear.
Her parents abused her taking her out of school and turning her into a political tool. Worse yet, politicians abused her further by giving her the stage. My understanding she earnt multiple millions doing this.

Fame isn't free. It takes significant effort and training to reduce the cost of fame, which Greta obviously never did. Worse yet, when politics are involved, the cost is immensely higher. Monica Lewinski didn't get the payout Greta did. I doubt Greta got an appropriate amount of money.

It's even worse for Greta. Her fame isn't with her allies. Hence this article. If it were her allies talking about her, then why stop talking? What she wants is her political opponents to stop talking about her. Even contemporary she was never a hero for her side, her fame derived through being mocked.
I was arguing against the dogma that all censorship is bad. I can understand your point of view, but I don't agree with it. We are in an information war with Russia (and other such undemocratic entities). We have been for years and we have been losing it.

I am also needless to say against war crimes no matter which side perpetrates them so videos of $ALLY/SELF committing them that come from reputable source or that can be verified should not be censored.

Too deep topic and maybe I don't understand it compared to the megaminds here on hacker News but as far as I get it when it comes to randomness every sequence has the same probability which is simply the inverse of the number of sequences for any given length.

In that case it seems to me impossible to tell from only the information of a single sequence.

But if you have multiple sequences where one is the binary coding of a Mozart symphony and another is the binary encoding of Shakespeare sonnet and another is the binary encoding of days of the week or a DNA sequence if you have enough data points like that I think you can start to say Well they're probably not random because we see coherent patterns.

The second aspect is coherent pattern depends on perspective. So what seems random to us maybe a very common physical constant to an alien civilization. so if we see a binary sequence that represents pi, maybe we say oh well that's not random because it's accurately pi to like a thousand places... but if we see another sequence that looks random maybe it's a physical constant to an alien civilization that's accurate to a thousand places as well. But we don't know that so it looks random...to us. So randomness doesn't just depend on entropy, I think in a realistic point of view, probability is not enough, it also depends on something which Maybe it's a little bit harder to measure perhaps which is perspective. Random depends on the context.
Presumably, one or more things.
Just curious about the "golden window for buying I-bonds" he mentions:

I’m sure Microsoft is crying all the way to the bank.

Most of the interviewers don't even know to solve those leetcode problems in an optimal way with Clojure.

It might vary if the programming language is not functional.
Yes!, it is a really good idea. If she is still just "inclined" and not "off-to-the-races" yet and you have a good relationship (which sounds like you do) this could be so much fun.
Nah, prosecutors are in on the game. They don't prosecute their friends and colleagues unless there is big enough media presence or they have something to gain from the process. Usually it is well tied corrupt, nepotistic system with even the judges involved.

Go back and read the thread friend. It’s not normal downvotes. Some users have the ability to down
weight a comment. When that happens on a YC product thread and the comment was critical, anyone would be slightly suspicious. The reason was that the comment was off topic, but I disagree.
There are lots of comments here, so I hope this get some visibility.

I feel like there is a lot of "the grass is always greener on the other side" fallacy happening here (at least in dating). I'm 199cm (just over 6'6") if that adds any weight to my experiences. I dont mean this to be a humble brag, I sympathize with anyone under stress over these issues.

Interims of dating:
Being taller definitely had some advantage in terms of standing out, but from the wrong people. In university I feel like I was more of a novelty to most of the people I tried to have a relationship with, there was sometimes a lot of focus on height or size. Whenever this was apparent in someone, the value of the relationship plummets and we fall out. This made me extremely picky on who I hung out with and on top of being relatively socially awkward (I was homeschooled), this contributed to a major sense of loneliness. I only met my wife partly because she is also on the taller side (our friend set us up), and I prefer our proportionally to the average male/female ratio.

In terms of carrear:
I'm early on (~4 years) in my carrear and I feel like my opinions get more recognition with less effort than others in similar positions. This is totally anecdotal however and there could by many other factors I am not aware of. One thing that did stand out tho, a I was in a small meeting with senior employees and one confronted me and said "you're much younger than you appear to be aren't you" in referring to my height. Again anecdotally, what the article states interims of business, numerous people I have met in higher power positions are generally not on the shorter side.
hmm no mention of zulip, another open source option
I think this sounds great in theory (and I do agree with you) but depending on how many people you have in the company, you will have sales arguing for one thing, devs arguing for another, product might want another and marketing need the stats to do their job.

One of the hardest things is prioritising dissimilar tasks, especially since the return on investment is not always easy to see or might take a number of weeks/months. Maybe the marketing stats really help marketing target more of the right people but maybe they don't or maybe something unrelated stopped the figures from improving after you did the work.

I suspect someone has done research on how to add real cost/benefit to some of the intangible things to try and objectively rank them.

No. Preventing you from reading someone’s website is censorship.

Your language "playing the freedom of speech card" indicates hostility to general freedom of speech arguments, and I would venture that your defense of this is motivated by a desire to suppress the speech of these unwanted persons.
No. The site is supported by its advertisers, not the visitors.

If the site is selling something, and the visitor buys something, then the visitor is "doing business". Reading text that is published at zero charge isn't "doing business".
In 1933 Congress unilaterally devalued the dollar by nearly seventy percent, rewrote the gold clauses in private contracts, largely forbid the private possession of gold, and managed to get away with it. The Supreme Court conveniently decided to ignore the Constitution on that occasion.
It’s hard to believe the original authors made their argument in good faith. They probably ran the numbers with the filters and saw they wouldn’t have a paper that way.
Convenient polymorphism over exceptions is something I would very much like to see in Java, but it's a separate topic. Given that structured concurrency is normally used with things that can fail, and whose failures must be handled, I hope (and think) you'll find that the use of checked exceptions is not onerous at all. If we're mistaken, we can consider solutions during the incubation period.
What type of information do you find yourself losing track of? The GTD sections shouldn't be that big even when tracking a huge amount of projects, like if you had for example 100 projects and 100 next actions that you are actively working on. Each of those shouldn't take much space, maybe 1-2 lines on a notebook for each one project and each task, clear outcomes for projects, and a simple actions for next actions, about 20 pages overall? And that's for a huge amount of projects, I've never gotten anywhere near that in active projects, maybe 50-80 projects at times. Those 2 categories, plus a calendar, and a "waiting for" list, are the sections you may be looking at often on your day to day work when following GTD.

Everything else about your "active" projects goes a bit out of scope of what is defined by GTD and should go to "project reference material", like project planning, TODO lists, project structure, notes from meetings, sketches, ... those are kept in a much messier form by me, but I feel like as long as the big picture and hard commitments are clear on the GTD part, it's ok if sometimes I have to "dive down" into a specific project mess to clarify some things. It's just not ok if those 2 are mixed and make looking at your day-to-day GTD sections a nightmare.

I keep my paper GTD system on an A5 ring binder, something like a Filofax but a cheaper brand, with 1 plastic divider for each 4 (projects, next actions, waiting for, someday/maybe) of the 5 GTD hard-categories [1], with each section having about 1-5 pages. The calendar goes to Google Calendar just because it's convenient how it auto-adds meeting invitations.

For project reference material I keep an alphabetic index [2] on the same A5 binder for small projects, some dedicated folders or notebooks if the projects are huge, or a directory with files if the projects have some digital material, images, or links, that can't be easily tracked on paper. Those will look very different for each different project so don't really have much of a "system" for it, aside from keeping the hard-landscape tracked on GTD.

Big tech has some specialized, high level/pay roles where someone can be successful just by being an excellent engineer, even with average communication skills. I've seen these in areas such as Compilers and Operating Systems Kernels, for instance. These jobs are, however, highly specialized and require extraordinary and domain-specific technical skills.
> It's always impossible to tell, for any given sequence, whether it was produced by a fair die. There's nothing an experimental subject can do to make the impossible more impossible.

That's just not true.

Or feel free to play a game with me. We'll roll a 20 sided die. If it comes up 20, you give me a ten. If it comes up any other number, I'll get you a dollar. Nice EV on that!

Oh, the die has come up 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20 the last seven times. Do you play?

They're not being paid for their work, they're collecting royalty payments based on a government granted copyright monopoly.

Having a conversation about how that government intervention could be altered to make society better is something I'm here for. Discussing how it can be tilted more towards the people taxing the general population, and so directly fund the people that even this article thinks are the bad guys I'm less interested in.

Having said that, copyright termination is similar to what I propose to fix patents.

Any inventor should be able to re-auction their patent after 12-years to the highest bidder. It would immediately become clear that this would be writing a blank cheque and people would avoid using any patented work and we can move on with our lives in a more efficient post-patent era.

At the moment only a complex game of legal brinkmanship between corporations keeps this system stable.
> Sinclair was trying to sell a personal computer with stripped-down 01979 graphics in 01982, 1½ Moore's-law cycles later.

Moore’s law goes two ways: power in the same space doubles, or you can build something of the same power in half the space.

And crudely, space = chips. If you can use less chips you can save money.

Sinclair made something at least as capable as an Apple ][ using much less silicon and brought it to market at a much lower price point.

Sinclair “was trying” to sell it? It SOLD! It was spectacularly successful!

You can insist it’s not censorship all you want, but it’s still censorship. This is no different than what China does except in scale.
What practical advantage gives it that merit? What function, within the bounds of legality, does it actually do better than centralized systems?
Gavin Nuesome actually had good intentions with streamlining ADU's in California.

It turns out only the wealthy are taking advantage of the gift though.

In my county, I believe 6 guys took advantage of the streamlined process. It's still very expensive.

They used building the ADU as an excuse to build a bigger house, and that variance is hard to get, but if you have money and kiss ass, you can get it.

I believe almost all the 6 used an ADA unit to increase the size of their home. They all had to get variances from the town, and 5 got it. One homeowner refused to kiss the town council's ass, write begging letters to his neighbors, and attent countless meetings while paying for an architect, and a Builder's time.

They are all asked a bunch of questions.

The one that got me is "Are you going to rent the unit out to low income individuals. (Low income in my town is like "$90, 000. Yea--really. $110,00 if married.". All basically lied, and said yes they will rent it to a Nun. They wanted a bigger home, and the ADU will be used as----an Art studio, or for Lupe' the cheap help that will wipe them in later life?

My point putting in an ADU is fine, and I'm glad Neusome streamlined the process. People aren't taking advantage of it besides the wealthy though. The people whom didn't need any help.

I would rather see something different.

1. If a person (not a corporation, rich foreigner, etc.) of modest means buys a small piece of land they can put a trailer, tent, small cabin, etc. on the land. And of course live there. I'd even be ok with no foundations until you build properly, and no renting unless you offer it for free. I'd even be ok with time limits that are reviewed every ten years for free. So basically a guy would have to go in front of some official and sign a declaration that they still don't have the money to build a proper unit.

2. CA counties, and towns are going to be told to build more housing in the future if Neusome is still around. They only way I see it happening is if we start building huge blocks of housing, like I see being demolished in Ukraine. (I've seen pictures of Russia. It does look like everyone is in a reasonably priced apartment. I guess it's a leftover from evil Socialism.

Personally, I'd be happy with 1. I just don't think the powers at be really want to help the very poor.

Marin County, San Anselmo. This is basically the town I'm writing about. Newsome has a mansion here where Jenny wanders room to room trying to find something "important" in life to do. Be careful Gavin. She reminds me of an Amber Heard. I honestly like the guy. He was voted most fashionable in my high school.)
ETH has the same problem as the current financial industry: too much momentum. It's crazy that even in the world of crypto, history just repeats itself.

Ethereum is a flawed chain, and just not suitable for global scale DeFi. But people continue building on it.

Even many Solidity devs refuse to move on to other chains. Maybe it's the sunk cost fallacy.
