I don't understand your argument here at all unfortunately. Why would private citizens' investment advice be illegal? The entire Reddit community WallStreetBets (not claiming they have sound investment advice, because they don't) should be in jail then, because they effectively say "please invest like we do, because we will both profit".

There is lots of investments based not on the belief of somethings intrinsic value, but on the belief on other investors belief of somethings value. In fact, I would say that the majority of trades happen due to "making investment decisions based on your belief that the value [of X would Y]" as you say. So trades at discrepancies on value beliefs. If this is a good thing or not is debatable, but it is the reality and how would that be related to market manipulation.

I get the distinct feeling that you are trying to say something between the lines but it is hard to know. Can you elaborate on your points?
I got stuck on weird integration with the payment processor. This, plus a few other minor issues set me back two months.

No biggy, right? Wrong. I have shipped B2B product in late November. Came in December downtime. Close to 4-5 months wasted because I delayed shipping.

Till day I slap myself in the face for that.
About half of network pentesting is finding the keys in the file system. Way too often they are in code repos.

It’s good that this is a free service. Things are getting like unencrypted backups were in the nineties. Half of data breaches on DataLossDB were because of them. Once LTO-4 made tapes encrypted by default (instead of a paid-for add-on,) it turned the whole industry around.
It's not really the accents that are hard to understand in Australia, it's the slang.
The OP-1 has been the single most inspiring tool I've had in a decade. Every other sampler I've bought has always failed to reliably draw me in.

There is no putting a price on creativity. Sure, the competition can compete on specs and price, but they never seem to get me to want to turn them on like the OP-1.

Just my opinion of course. But it is already a classic at this point and is deserving of respect.
I really couldn't care less how emotional and heartfelt he gets about the problem of child exploitation. I get it, it's a major and awful problem in many contexts of the world. Emotions about ugly, disgusting things however should never be a door opener for throwing away other also extremely important fundamentals like the right to privacy, anonymity and fighting back mass state surveillance as much as possible.

Once the emotional tearjerker arguments have been used to support those things, the cynical bureaucrats and autocrats that make policy later use these tools for so many other sinister things. If Kutcher has more brains than emotion, and is serious about a genuinely better world, he should be aware of these other important fundamentals too and base his proposals for fighting exploitation on them.
No, half of this thread believes we should protect people from predators. The other half feels that people who can't recognize predators are natural and deserving prey.

No, I didn't know California was a separate entity. But, what I know is that it is worse than Oregon.

Instead of HN constantly defending California, I want us to take a hard look at what's wrong with this state and improve it; but I see a bad future and looking out for myself. I want California to be the best place on the planet to live. It is regressing at an ever increasing pace. I was talking to a SaksFifth employee in SF – he is working there since 1995. I talked to him for good 30 mins talking about how things were in Bay Area specifically. It is night and day compared to 90's.
I am not persuaded. I think that C extensions could handle multi-threading more easily or could simply document that they only support single-threaded use. BUT, I had never heard this argument made and I find it a very interesting and insightful one -- thank you for explaining in detail!

As a studio enthusiast and electronic musician, I always felt this was a reasonable price for the OP-1. I have a _lot_ of synths here, ranging from the high end Moog Voyager to various Pocket Operators by Teenage Engineering.

$2000 however is just too much for this. The Polyend Tracker sells for $500 used in comparison, and while its drastically different - is vaguely competitive to the OP-1.
I'm The Atlantic article's subject. To date, we have created — and copyrighted — about 400 billion (400,000,000,000) melodies. Here are descriptions:

All of the melodies could be filed with the U.S. Copyright Office — as a "compilation" — much like a music album.
These are all good, but I want to reiterate the 3rd point about refunds. It happens occasionally. And it's wrong. And it drives you crazy because it's wrong. Consider it a cost of doing business, and move on.
There was a huge amount of verbalized prejudice against workers and their presumed bad habits in the parts of industry most affected. It took me a few decades to really process how ridiculous some of the biases were and that they were really an expression of a lot of insecurity that all those laid off people were going to show up as competition.

"cleaning fee" often means "base price for the booking".

Ie. It's a way to charge more for short bookings and less for longer lets. That makes sense because for a host the chances of a place being trashed totally is approximately proportional to the number of bookings, not the total days booked.

I wish they just had an option to use different wording so the customer didn't think the money was for actual cleaning.
By far the stupidest Americanization I've encountered is when Netflix changed "The Great British Bake Off" to "The Great British Baking Show".

But the gold standard has its own issues. The gold standard is effectively a system of pegging all participating currencies to one another.

A dollar is X milli-ounces of gold, a Pound Stirling is Y milli-ounces.

They are effectively pegged at an X:Y ratio. But currency pegging has issues in practice, with Governments only able to keep it stable within certain limits. Outside those limits bad things will happen if you don't update the peg ratio. But when using a gold standard, if you have to adjust how much gold your unit of currency is worth, it makes people upset. If you make a dollar worth less gold people with dollars get quite upset. Also if people expect such a redenomination will be occuring, it can cause on run on the gold reserves.

Meanwhile, if you make a dollar worth more gold, you piss off anybody holding gold.

The changing of the ratio is even worse if you are using precious metal coinage that have the specified amount of gold (or silver, for the silver-standard) in them. If the ratio needs to change, now you have all this money with a face value, precious metal content mismatch.

And all this is on top of the fact by using the gold standard, the rate of gold mining can heavily impact the economy.
Except that it is a far more complicated explanation than simply accepting that the unsanitary conditions at the wet market with multiple species of wild animals in close proximity to people neatly explains all the evidence.

Ah yeah...the old propaganda because you have to implement backdoors in your encrypted email-service...i don't know what you try to proof here, but it's kind of disgusting.

Ever heard of Berlusconi? Or maybe Nixon....or your King Juan Carlos ;)

Wow, some real hot takes in here. It's particularly funny that commenters here mention what happened in Georgia and Ukraine as reasons for Finland joining NATO, when it's exactly those countries cosying up to NATO/the West at Russia's security what lead to the conflicts.

Goes to show how people will happily swallow the media narrative without thinking about the big picture.
People are complaining about Trello being old. I just set one up yesterday, because I couldn’t find a good casual/flexible alternative. And no, I’m not going to set up a whole notion just to put cards on a board.

Coming from a place of extreme prejudice against and resentment towards Trello, I actually was pleasantly surprised. Not perfect but it still works well enough and has enough features to feel powerful. It seems like they’re adding lots to it, which is maybe a mixed bag.

I tried Microsoft Lists - it is broken in Safari (when I press the add card button, it doesn’t pop up until I interact with the user feedback widget). I tried GitHub projects but it was being weird and insists on all issues having the same columns. I tried Todoist but the story for sharing projects isn’t great for anonymous users (I need to share in a public meeting for people without accounts or desire to set them up). Microsoft Planner is offensively bad, and this is coming from a heavily biased office fanboy who secretly dreams of someday working on Outlook because I’m actually that uncool.

So, what do the cool kids use for semi-structured cards these days?

Edit: yes maybe Notion is the answer, trying it is on my to do list.

I'm not saying people don't live paycheck to paycheck. I'm saying they shouldn't assume their current employer is their only plan, and should be working to ensure that they are not. That has the nice side effect of what could have been activism effort going into creating value for other people.
I already posted below※, but I actually tried this out.

It doesn't add swimlanes to Trello the way you'd expect. It opens up a new view which looks like Trello, but seems to be totally custom. So you can only see the swimlanes in this view, but not using Trello normally.

Not sure if I'm missing something but this is a non-starter for me.

The financial wizardry behind NFT's is the wash trading. A lot of average people looking to get into NFT's simply don't understand that many of the 'success stories' they see of people making big money on NFT's are just wash trading trying to lure in the marks.
This is maybe a bit of a tangent, but the fact that transaction validation happens as part of Bitcoin’s proof-of-work process is incidental. It’s perfectly fine to mine an empty block, and the only incentive to include transactions is transaction fees. You earn rewards even if you conduct no transaction validation.

The analogous option for DollarCoin would be letting you put a placard in the video with some (valid) transactions on it and recoup a fee from each.

The point is that, it’s not such a bad analogy of just “proof-of-work”, which is a meaningfully separate concept than decentralized transaction validation. Though I agree, I mean a regular person might definitely be more confused than helped by the ‘dollars on fire’ analogy.
If the essence of punk is rebellion, then solarpunk's punkitude lies in its rebellion against relentless contemporary pessimism. Doom, grievance, and cycnicism are now so mainstream that radical optimism and the imagination of a better future are what it takes to be revolutionary.
Maybe it's that we shouldn't let fear of a bogeyman be used as a justification to weaponize law enforcement and collapse social trust in the name of "think of the children"?

This presumption is that the governments, who maintains the secret CSAM database, are not also participating in the exploitation. I don't know how anyone reconciles this with government-controlled borders that allow practically unfettered crossing, which certainly drives human trafficking.
> In Europe, whose countries have been criticized by US politicians for spending under 2% of the national budget in their armed forces

The criticism (whether I agree with it or not) is that Europeans largely live under the umbrella of US protection. The US contributed $73 billion to NATO in 2020 compared to Lithuania's $1 billion [0]. Who is more likely to drag the other one into a conflict with Russia?

"black holes" are the brightest objects in the universe. It's a bit like an alien scientist showing an X-ray picture of a skeleton:"This is a human!"
Some quotes from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole :

"Moreover, quantum field theory in curved spacetime predicts that event horizons emit Hawking radiation, with the same spectrum as a black body of a temperature inversely proportional to its mass. This temperature is of the order of billionths of a kelvin for stellar black holes, making it essentially impossible to observe directly."

The same article is full of words like "implies", " inferred", "indirect" etc. It's not directly proven black holes even exist, see Alternatives paragraph. I'm not sure it's physically possible to take a visible light picture of a "naked" event horizon - then black hole images are pure phantasy.
It is so frustrating that the end result is years away. I hope that they don’t just look for some equivalent micro drug but perform experiments with the actual growth factor in human test subjects.

I just loved this story. Was just commenting to a friend my love of fictionalized low-key WW2 stories based on real events, like Sloan Wilson's "Ice Brothers" (loosely based on his experience with the Greenland Patrol during WW2).

This article is well written, enthralling and based on real events. I would definitely watch a movie about this.

> Being allowed to sit on unrealized value from the land

By “sit on unrealized value”, you mean continuing to live in my home, in the community that I’ve worked with others to build, exactly as I have for many years prior?

It’s incredibly presumptuous to think you have the right to force me from my home and dismantle my community because you don’t like how we’re choosing to “sit on unrealized value”.

> deny its use to all others in society

I’m also denying the use of my lawnmower to all others in society, but I don’t have to pay a yearly tax on it.

There’s plenty of land, plenty of housing, and plenty of lawnmowers.

You’re not entitled to mine just because you really want to take it from me.

Connotation vs denotation, but I understand where you're coming from. Admittedly, I'm increasingly shocked that I've found myself on this side of the surveillance debate for this issue. I suppose this has something to do with my susceptibility to the "think of the children" tactic.

What separates this from other "appeal to pity" tactics is that this bill is the source of this bill. This isn't a group of EU equivalent democratic/republican lawmakers who are pushing for a surveillance bill because they have their wallets padded with intelligence contractor money. This is a philanthropist who has track record of sustained, devoted, high-effort actions in fighting against this dark industry.

I suppose the counter argument remains the same though, right? Whomever is granted the authority to surveil will ultimately misuse their access. Admittedly, I can't pull myself away from agreeing with that. What a mess.

Innovative? Absolutely-effing-lutely.

Inventive? (the word some people use when they actually say innovative). Not so much. Only a handful software applications over the past 50 years deserve that title.

Seems like moving goalposts here. Why does it have to be innovative to deserve a few minutes of my income? Why is not the value in of itself?
This is so true. I would say it applies to all advice. Advice can be great, but you have to understand where it comes from and how/if it applies to your situation.
This is incorrect. Houses can be sold and folks can move in with family. Or, you can rent out the house, often at a profit. I know several people who have done this. Furthermore, in most places in the U.S. a mortgage payment is cheaper than the rent on a similar dwelling.

I originally had no plans to buy a house, but I did the math and my mortgage is about 25-35% less that what I would pay for an equivalent rental. Even factoring in maintenance costs, that's still a huge win. And that's not even getting into the tax benefits.

In the case of a job loss or financial disaster, you can sell the house, or if you can't you can just go on living there, often for years while the bank meanders its way through the foreclosure process. So you may lose some principal in the end, but you'll have had several years of free housing to make up for it.

There are plenty of reasons not to own a house - maintenance is a pain and time consuming, yard work sucks, etc., but financially, owning a house is a no brainer in most U.S. geographies.
Now young people are just sharing their location all the time on Snapchat and they use that to track each other's locations.

I wouldn't mind pointing out that your argument is really just that talent is expensive. But my question is, what makes a software developer so much more special than a plumber, a mechanic or carpenter? You can teach yourself software on youtube, we aren't -that- special. There are dozens of highly skilled positions out there that don't get payed nearly as much.

The answer that I think is a hard pill for some to swallow, is that for a long time we have been the tool required by special kinds of high return business ventures, so we can command high wages. The same is true of remote miners in Australia, the difference is there is no use for a miner in the rest of the community so there is no loss since no one is competing for their wage anyway.

My argument is simply that the rest of the economy could really use software developers, but they are too expensive due to the distortions on commandable salary that the tech bubble has created. It would be nice if software developers returned from the high heavens and integrated their skills more readily with the greater community.

I am a software developer, and I understand the audience I am talking to is the very audience benefiting from the status quo. I don't expect it to be a popular view but I do hope people give it a thought. Think of ways your talent could help your community, and then that is what I am hoping to see more of.
> There’s a first time for everything, right?

That's a lie. One counter example is there will be no first time that we get more energy out of a machine than we put in, because Conservation of Energy forbids this. But there are an infinite number of counter-examples to prove your statement is false.

In my country (Spain) we traditionally use commas as a decimal separator, but I think CSV should not support this.

The way I see it, CSV's purpose is information storage and transfer, not presentation.

Presentation is where you decide the font face, the font size, cell background color (if you are viewing the file through a spreadsheet editor) etc. Number formatting belongs here.

In information transfer and storage it's much more important that the parsing/generation functions are as simple as possible. So let's go with one numeric format only. I think we should use the dot as a decimal separator since it's the most common separator in all programming languages. Maybe extend it to include exponential notation as well, because that is what other languages like json support. But that's it.

I hold the same opinion about dates tbh.
