> What I would like to know is, why the staunchest proponents of freedom of speech choose to hit that down vote button to push comments like mine into oblivion rather than have an honest set of questions seen.

I didn't downvote you and don't like if someone does it without leaving criticism. That said, I understand the objection to your reasoning very well and maybe people refrain from answering because the pitfalls of your model for speech are trivial. It comes down to who get the power to define truth. That is not a problem if anyone is allowed to leave their opinion. There will be people that abuse that right and that is the cost of it.

And we have seen intentional lying which I believe was a great mistake in current times when information moves that fast. Because the lie will come to light at some point anyway.

Of course it is, if other side knows this they will train and react in a way to appease. And a KGB apparatchik should know a trick or two about psychology, manipulation etc. Especially quirks of US president, the counterparty in global political games.

He may be internally with himself still working the same 'patriotic' game, but currently in some very f**ed up psychotic way.

But to be honest, I don't believe it - he stole half of Russia, continued and improved system of state-managed corruption and theft, russian population is a poor miserable one more than ever. He clearly doesn't care for murdering fellow close slavs, and other russians neither. But billion dollar worth pallaces and superyachts are fine for 'great leader' I presume.

Actions speak for themselves more than some shallow talks or staged trained looks.

Or maybe its just the good old 'power corrupts' theme. He certainly is just a mere shadow of his former self, at least the part public can see.
It means a lot of people who paid $1 for an asset that was supposed to be worth $1 now have 40 cents, and these people are not very happy about it.

Also, that $1 valuation was supposed to be backed up by around $4 billion worth of bitcoin. If Terra (the company behind UST) starts selling bitcoin to prop up the valuation, the price of bitcoin will also tank.

And since markets anticipate that this is what will happen, the price of bitcoin is already tanking, which reduces the value of the no-longer-$4B hoard, which means they would need to sell more, and you can see where this is going.

Perhaps a few comments are missing what seems to me to be the main point... its not about whether the product is cheap vs the competition.

It's about the sales process... if the client was open about bandwidth estimates and has broadly met them, then its still not great to offer a teaser rate and pull the rug later, once the integration is done. This would negatively impact the client, and isn't a way of doing business that great companies promote.

JGC said he'd take a look and that seems like a good response from CF.

You probably have a "hier" man page on your system. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/hier.7.html

Also systemd has a "file-hierarchy" man page for its understanding of the hierarchy, which includes e.g. its use of /run and which directory can be read-only - https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/file-hierarchy.7.html
> I'm not saying CF is bad, but, their sales tactics are shady

Sounds like your company had unreasonable expectations, their business plan [1] doesn't mention anywhere they provide unlimited bandwidth, what they do say is who their Business plan is for, which should've set expectations:

> For small ecommerce websites and businesses requiring advanced security and performance, PCI compliance, and prioritized email support.

i.e. it's unreasonable to assume 200-300TB /month can be classified as a small ecommerce website and that your company should've been more diligent in verifying what the expected cost should be for their high bandwidth requirements than just assuming cloud hosting companies should bear the loss of their excessive resource usage in a fixed rate plan.

But I do think Cloudflare should clarify the free bandwidth their plans include to better clarify the suitability of their plans.

Clean energy sources are the cheapest [0], and they get cheaper with every new investment and innovation. The competition in Bitcoin mining is global, which means that it becomes unprofitable for everyone to use fossil fuels when profit margins fall enough. This isn't true yet, and it's profitable to use fossil fuels in certain regions.

Usually the cheapest sources are also far away from people, because any local demand will increase energy price. However, when renewables near people have overcapacity, Bitcoin miners can serve as a buyer of last resort. This way, investments in renewables become more profitable.

Thank you for your kindness <3

First of all, I live outside of Iran so it’s my family that I care about.

Secondly, I’m sorry but this is the most inhumane way to bundle up problems “That’s their situation and…” we gotta at least try.

If you wanna say it like that then we can say “it’s not our problem about poverty so why should we giveaway some money to charity?” Or a lot more situations other than that. Like the war in Ukraine, imagine everyone said “that’s their situation…”

What happened instead?? Million’s of people around the world (including me) stated that they support Ukraine (by only saying) and it lead to the point where the government’s are also supporting Ukraine…

Thirdly, I didn’t say you HAVE to I was just saying IF you care you can come up with an idea for them, not the exact idea that I came up in less than 10 seconds LOL
Matt Levine on point again with more information about how this works and why it stopped [0]. I liked the comparison between a bank run and a 'death spiral'.

> A bank run is a fairly mild event compared to a death spiral. In a bank run, your $1 stablecoin is backed by some pool of assets that are worth something; a rush to withdraw money leads to fire sales that depress their value, but their value derives from something other than confidence in the stablecoin. In a death spiral, the whole system is built on confidence in the stablecoin; if that confidence evaporates then there is no floor at all on the value.

That is pure FUD. In the last year there has been less than one tenth of a cent of movement. It is so stable the graph is incredibly zoomed in to show any movement at all.

Take, like 30 cash-rich buyers chasing 25 available homes in a given year. That sets the value of hundreds of thousands of homes in the metro area. All those homeowners now have a ton of equity that they throw around in their subsequent purchases.

That doesn't mean "everyone" is spending huge multiples of their salary in cash, it just means a handful of people did. The rest rode the wave of equity.
> Ok, so I guess Apple Maps is the new DDG. By this I mean, every DDG related thread immediately descends into anecdotes about "Google Search is terrible, DDG is much better"

> why does it bother you that fellow programmers are getting salaries close to yours?

I wasn't referring to programmers, but unskilled labor such as specifically, package sorting. Even some fast food jobs are approaching that number.

> That will not actually affect you negatively in any way

Absolutely untrue. When everyone has more money, money is worth less. See also, our current (underreported) inflation rate.

I'd be all for everyone making more money, unless it means money is worth less, which is what's happening now.
My impression after reading the article is that this is some sort of virtue signalling. "for many women in circles where social currency can be purchased, rep-buying has evolved into a kind of edgy declaration of identity"

I'd summarize it as: Look at how smart I am, I can get all the benefits of fashion for a fraction of the money while sticking it to "the man" and big corporations.

Most people agree that overpriced fashion stuff is bad => You gain virtue points by hating them.

Most people are still affected/impressed by fashion => You gain virtue points by owning it.

Most people agree that getting more for less shows that you are smart => You gain virtue points by buying fakes.

And apparently, the risk involved is also attractive to bored people. "have shared terrifying disciplinary letters sent directly from fashion houses. They typically contain grand threats — prison terms, multimillion-dollar fines — and are intended to shock and awe the recipients"
> idiots thinking "if it connects, it should work"

You mean thinking things will work in the reasonable way that they have for decades prior to USB-C?

"If it connects, it should work" used to be largely true (modulo OS compatibility, which was easy to check by users, and wasn't even an issue anyway if you had a reasonably recent Windows version). It's hard to blame the users for not understanding why things have been suddenly made much more complicated by a standard that supposedly simplifies things.
They are totally connected.

If you don't have the market power to have garnered a good pay increase over the past 2 years of record profits you're almost certainly underpaid, like teachers, nurses etc. If you got massive pay increases you're almost certainly overpaid, like CEOs.

The connection is right there. Maybe these two things could somehow become disjointed but they really don't appear to be such in any meaningful way in the current economy.
Tether (USDT) is the largest "stablecoin" and the most interesting one here. Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) have a combined market cap of ~120. The total "stablecoin" market cap is ~170B. UST was at ~18B before the collapse, so it does account around 10% of the market. Significant, but not the most important player.
I enjoy my work… But it is not the thing that gives meaning to my life!
It's the hedonic treadmill effect. People here in SF making $200K are looking around feeling like they are probably underpaid compared to friends at other companies. Also finance/law can pay a fuck-ton too, but you have to work crazy hours. Have a friend who just turned 29 pulling down $500K in PE, but works like 80-100 hour weeks. At some point that's just a bad use of your finite time. Have also had friends walk away with millions after an IPO.

Not really sure if there's a larger point other than to say that there's always a tier of people above you making more money, so don't let it get you down.
The average cost of a home in the Bay Area is also somewhere between ~1.5 million dollars as well. So it’s effectively impossible to reasonably buy a home unless you have a salary >300k without going into massive debt.
No hand waving. Structural regular expressions are starting to get popular just in the last couple of years. They're getting integrated in text editors and other tools. Take a look at this talk for concrete examples from the Vis text editor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y41MyOrPt8Q. Also Kakoune text editor defaults to structural regular expressions in the search https://github.com/mawww/kakoune.

This varies wildly LP to LP. These numbers are negotiated case by case.
I've been following Quantumscape for a while. The reason they come up in conversations about solid state batteries a lot is because they regularly report on where they are as a company and because they are quite a bit further than a proof of concept. That's what they had a few years ago. At this point they are scaling the engineering of increasingly more complex battery samples and testing the hell out of those.

Basically, they've been ramping up sample production for some time and have shipped battery samples to customers like Volkswagen who have independently verified their claims and are a major investor. In the last year they've upped the ambition level in terms of the number of layers in the battery, the number of charging cycles under conditions that would stress any battery, etc. They've been reporting steady progress every few months more or less on the previously announced schedule that they were planning to do so.

Their near future plans involve a small test factory that is due to come online next year with small numbers of vehicles on the road by 2024/2025 time frame. Realistically volume production of this would not kick off until closer to the end of this decade. They've actually done a great job of managing expectations around what they do.

Full disclosure: I bought some stock last year in this company and it dropped about 50% in value since then. So, not great. I'm holding onto the shares because I believe they are actually under valued currently. To me it looks like they have a high chance of getting to the market first with a working product that should deliver impressive safety, energy density, and charging speeds. I don't know of other solid state battery companies that are that close to having a market ready product. They have customers lining up (several major car brands). A healthy amount of liquidity to build factories and do more testing. And there's going to be a market for their batteries if they manage to ship working products. So far, everything I've heard about this company suggests that things are proceeding more or less as planned and that they remain on track to do hit their targets over the next few years. But I may have to wait a few years before that translates into the massive share price increase I'm expecting. It's a gamble and I don't recommend others to gamble. But I feel good about this one.

Top Marketing Bullshit Things in 2022
I have my issues with Cloudflare and their captcha and their contribution to the centralisation of the internet, but this doesn't really seem justified. You clearly aren't using their business plan for its intended use - and yes, marketing and sales teams are always going to emphasise features over limits, but I'm guessing a quick "hey we plan to use this for 300TB/month is that OK?" question up front would have saved a lot of effort on both sides.

Overall, I'm always really impressed by how the Cloudflare exec team is on here, helping out directly or offering to get involved personally when HN has a problem. I think if people keep abusing it like this, that level of support will probably be dialled back significantly, which would be a shame.

Compared to Cloudflare, they're slow unless you use their premium providers. But that just makes sense, cheap peering and storage = low prices.
Employee stocks are a suboptimal investment strategy. It is putting all one's eggs in one basket. If the company runs into difficulties, one's job is at risk and at the same time one's investments.
If any of them all, YouTube knows how to disable content for a single country/region. Just deactivate the like/dislike counter for North America then.

I think those "dislike attacks" are a welcome argument to push a feature nobody is interested in, which mainly drives engagement by making it harder to find a good video and leads to more "clickthroughs".

Come to slovenia... we just had an election which was (a bit simplified), "a bad guy we have now, and most people hate, but right leaning grandmas like" vs "a guy we didn't know existed two months ago, but media propped him up, and he's the only chance to take on the current guy".

Because of the voting systems, parties need 4% of the votes to make it into the parliament, and all the votes for <4% parties are basically "lost".

The end effect was people not voting for the "new guy" because they liked the new guy, but because they didn't want the new guy to stay, causing a huge discrepancy between the the parties they actually wanted to win vs the voting results.
Usually its the extremes that are having the same effects.

Atm I am in a super demanding job, requiring me to overwork, make decisions on the spot, work on problems etc.

On my free time while I want to sit down and watch some TV, go for running, enjoy a nice dinner or whatever... I FEEL EMPTY!

Generally anything in moderation is key...

P.S. I do overwork myself for someone else to enjoy the fruits of my labour... sad story.

3x rule is not a rule but a guideline. It applies more to the average person.

If you give someone 100 dollars a day they have to buy food, clothes, rent, education, transportation. You give them 1000 dollars a day they still have to buy the same things. They can then use this leftover to buy nicer food or nicer house. This is why values of homes can get so high in areas. For the people getting 1000 they chose where ti spend this extra money. For people with 100 a day they don’t have extras to reallocate towards rent.
Their employers are making $300k+ net profit per employee. The salaries seem reasonable to me on that basis.

having the system mounted in its own sub directory rather than be spread over multiple directories (there's /usr/bin, /usr/share, /usr/lib, etc) has the advantage that a single read-only mount can mount the whole OS.

Having the OS mounted read-only provides some security benefits.

The other option would of course be to have / mounted ro and then have rw mounts in /home, /etc, /var and /tmp, but this is more complicated than a a rw / and a ro /usr
