So true, there is a core believe in crypto's value and its many off springs. Yes, it's crashing now but the core believers will hold and continue to sell its virtues. And at some time new believers will start to buy again and the market will start to rise again. It really is like gold. Gold's value is ultimately a social construct: it is valuable because we all agree it has been and will be in the future. With crypto that believe is just starting so as more people believe it it will be easier to trade in the future and continue its rise.

Essentially, yes. I know some people who have effectively been gone from work for years because hey had several kids in a row.
Most users have no idea what any of this means. Even I often don't know what one is best. I want to use https:// if it's available, and http:// otherwise. Should every time I want to click a link, I instead right click to copy the link location, then paste it into the URL bar and modify it to https:// to try that, and then if it fails to load, change it back to http:// ? That's a massive amount of work. I want it to just work without all that hassle and having to keep a info in my mind of which websites support https:// and which don't.

>If the user writes "http" then it is http, if the user writes "https" then it is https

Should we also block the website from doing a redirect to https:// ? HSTS is basically just a redirect cache.

This sounds like “two more weeks, MOASS, trust me bro” level of analysis. How can you possibly have enough insight into Musk’s financial holdings to make such an assertion? Nevermind the structure of the Twitter deal itself, which doesn’t exactly require him to fork over $40 billion in cash.
If your salary was $25k/year (a respectable amount for the majority of world population), would $1M seem like a lifetime financial stability? I think so. Yet if your salary is $250k/year, it probably wouldn't, and this would sound ridiculous to people who make $25k/year.

If you make 25k/year getting 1M is almost as good as getting 42M, because you are not used to thinking about anything you can do with 42M that you can't do with 1M. However, if your salary has been 10M/year, you most likely can easily see many ways to spend 42M, which are not something you think about often when you make 250k/year.

Does this make sense?
It gets too hot a couple weeks every year. 90F+ for days and even in the evening it doesn't drop that much which is rough when most people don't have AC.
Didn't the Zoe have a 22kwh battery? I don't doubt that it was practical for some things, but that was exactly the kind of car that many (especially in the US) used as an example of the "impracticality" of electric back then.
On the topic of friendlier SQL, there was a feature LINQ to SQL added to (and I believe removed from) .Net

It was basically syntactic sugar for a persistence API.

Instead of "select bar from foo" it used a "from foo select bar" type of syntax.

This was rather nice from a code completion perspective.
I'd seen that post, and just skimmed it again to see if I missed something, but I don't see anything about style transfer unless you mean writing prompts like "thing as painted by artist". Which works when "thing" is a sufficiently well known work (as I suppose my "Van Gogh self portrait" example would be), but I meant something more along the lines of "[image] as painted by $ARTIST", or "[image] as drawn in $STYLE".

For those worried about a threats for AGI, this is why such a system must be fully explainable. It's like thinking about a database with no validation at all, if you enter the wrong command you could destroy the integrity of the data. If you have constraints in place you're safer, and of course with SQL you can explain the data and inconsistencies.

I've posted somewhat extensively about my friend's psychiatric misdiagnosis.

Tl/dr: My assessment of her predicament is that her genetic condition (MTHFR) -> Vitamin B9 (folate) deficiency -> depression -> substance abuse -> psychosis.

The medical professionals' diagnose "psychosis unspecified", and pronounce that she requires treatment with anti-psychotics in perpetuity. (Does this really pass as 'modern medicine'?)

Robert Whitaker's foundation published my essay about what I've observed of involuntary mental health: Malignant Do-Gooderism: The Tragedies of Allopathic Psychiatry - https://www.madinamerica.com/2022/02/malignant-gooderism/

This was before the Supreme Court of the United States denied my petition. I asked them to reconsider, and tweeted about the petition for rehearing: https://twitter.com/JamesKnochel/status/1509632664302600213

Justices denied that too. My next petition is due May 19.

From this article:

> “What impresses me most,” he said, “is how recalcitrant mental illness is, how difficult it is to comprehend, how hard it is to come up with effective treatments and ultimately, how it is best to be honest about what we don’t know, so we can pursue a more eclectic approach to treating it and not be certain we know the right answer.”

IMHO, mental illness is much simpler than the professionals think, they're just stuck in a briar patch of palliative treatments that don't work. My readings at the Science Library are that "Mental Illness" has been known to fundamentally be a metabolic problem that is usually triggered by 'emotional stress', and often exacerbated by malnourishment. (Oh yeah, there's a reply to one of my earlier comments about 'histamine'... [edit] the reply to my comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27993001 )

One of my latest anecdotes is my friend coming to visit me, and how I decided I had no choice but to call the Sheriff on her (she was whacked out on 'something'). The Sheriff picked her up on an outstanding warrant. She came back a week later for her backpack, at 75% of her normal capacity. We spent a few hours doing normal things. She picked up an electrolyte concentrate at the grocery store. I protested that it had fake sugar, but she got it anyways. Went home, she had her electrolyte drink, started eating, then she fell apart. "I have to leave." hmm? While going down the driveway, she said "Don't follow me, I don't know you."

It was like flipping a switch: functional -> dysfunctional. 'What the hell just happened?' Then I remembered the electrolyte drink: !!!!!.

Brains require glucose. If you're not on the edge of sanity you can tolerate a little artificial sweetener. But fake sugar is terrible stuff.

Brains also need B-vitamins and progesterone USP (birth control w/ fake progesterone, often causes depression) and a whole bunch of other stuff. "Stress" depletes people's resources. Simple, simple, simple.

If any of you know an attorney on the SCOTUS bar who'd like to serve up some humble pie to the justices, I'd appreciate a referral. My last petition said they should reconsider because their baby's ugly, and they still ignored me.

Similar winter climate here in Perth, Western Australia.

But high 60s feels cold when you regularly get summer days over 100 and it occasionally hits the low hundred-teens...
That's in the article actually
For a long time I didn't understand what is wrong with suburbanites and why I just can't fit in there ever. I love living in the city and raising kids in the city is not easy thing, quite the opposite. I think you summarize and highlighted what I was not able to understand. Thank you!
Did you move there from SF? Do you work in tech? I'd be curious to hear how it is if so. My understanding is that they just announced they are going to let international travelers back in June.

That's correct, humidity and wind can also affect the feeling. 25 C can feel like 20C if it's windy or feel like 30C if humidity is high.

I would take 20 to 25C,low humidity and low wind speed. :)
missing diurnal air temperature variation, for me.
What was your position at Twitter at the time? I'm interested to know where you heard it from, to the extent that you can disclose.
This is understated. Most people leaving cheap countries are leaving because they hate their own oppressive governments.

Most people moving into cheap countries are going there to live a lifestyle that in unachievable to them in their home countries.
I know this is something basic users would expect, but I had some PTSD from wayland compositor writing days thinking how much complexity such feature would introduce. Even more complexity is introduced if the monitors are plugged into different GPUs shudders
You can also just own it, cables are not inherently ugly. I’m not saying go full on Centre Pompidou, but a couple of dirt-cheap adhesive clips in an appropriate colour can go a long way (though not if your walls are plastered). The setup in 8-Bit Guy[1]’s old studio is a good inspiration.

(Sometimes the clips can be a bit too cheap, in which case tearing off the original crappy adhesive and using some of that insanely-strong double-sided 3M tape helps.)

I would interested to see or hear about "walkable" cities with nice weather. I feel like that's the dream.
I have a book by Bernd Heinrich, Mind of the Raven (1999), subtitled "Investigations and Adventures with Wolf-birds". He did research with ravens for years. I tried to find where he mentioned the behavior.

One thing he noted throughout his research was that ravens generally will not so much as touch a carcass unless and until they have spotted wolves, a bear, or eagle eating it. And, they would much rather harass an eagle and get it to drop what it has stripped off than to dig in themselves.
In the high desert of the US southwest (6000'/1800m and above), it is not unusual to see diurnal temperature swings of 30F/16C or close to it. It's completely normal for at least 2 seasons a year to need an insulated jacket in the morning and evening, a light sweater just after and before the jacket is removed/added, and a t-shirt or similar for the middle of the day. Of course, the chance of rain is close to zero outside of any monsoon season that may or may not occur.
I think Rockefeller probably wins when the contest is 'fraction of available wealth captured'. The world is far richer today than it was in his days. We have wealthier people, even inflation adjusted, but I don't think we've had any one since who owned so much of what existed.
But this is the nature of a casino. One out of ten people gets a big payout for the same basic actions. If you're among the other nine people like I am, you take it in stride. You don't jump and cannibalize the guy who won. Not least because your self-esteem shouldn't be contingent upon how much money you have compared to someone else. People who win big randomly can't really be proud of what they have. But if you know you earned and deserve what you have, you can have pride. True pride in yourself is more valuable than money. I see this every single day with the ultra-rich I work for. The ones who got it by luck have no self control or pride. They'll soon lose it. I really don't care if they have more goodies than me. But that's because I have pride in myself, and it's ugly and despicable to base your self worth on comparing what you have to other people's material wealth.

In fact, frequently I feel sorry for them because they seem so desperate to be friends with me - because my life experience had been "real" and presented me with real shit they never had to deal with. They lack more for true friends than you or I. And I can't covet what they have when I can see, plainly, that I wouldn't want to trade places with them. And that a lot of times they want to trade places with me.

We all die. Happiness and bliss is just as likely to find you in a park behind a dumpster as in a penthouse. All the rest of the angst about judging who deserves what is just a waste of the time you have on this earth to define yourself independently.
That’s simply awful, I’m really sorry to hear that!

I spent a year as a stay at home dad (with our son who was 1 yr old at the time). The first few months were spent in Palo Alto, CA, and the rest in London, UK. We would go out to parks all over the place, and I never had any problems like this. Other parents always seemed happy to chat. I did expect problems since my son looks very different to me (fair skinned and blonde, whilst I’m a typical Pakistani Asian guy, brown skin, black hair - this kid inherited a lot of his looks from my wife). Often I’d get questioned by immigration officials when flying alone with him, and I’d have to take a letter from my wife attesting to our trip being known about and approved by her. But that was the only time it was an issue. I don’t think I would have lasted long if I encountered what you have, and I can’t imagine how you’ve dealt with it for as long as you have. If there’s anything I can do to support, please let me know.

I have a 30m HDMI run that I bought several cables that were certified for HDMI 2.0b but all of them were pretty unreliable at that length. After returning a bunch I ended up buying a 50m (that's the shortest they had that would work) Optical HDMI cable and it's been smooth sailing since.
Boston is the land of extremes. The winters are cold, windy, full of snow, and too long. The summers are absurdly humid and hot. The fall is so beautiful it's the most fall you have ever seen. Perhaps spring is a tad mundane, I'll admit.

Boston (and Massachusetts itself) has the most character of any state, and the people are quite unique in various capacities. It is #1 in biotech, education, and healthcare and #2 in finance and software. For the size of its population it punches well above its weight in importance.

To circle back, I think the weather has something to do with it. Tough weather makes tough people. Locals can be gruff at first but if you learn how to break through they are far nicer than New Yorkers.
That's a good definition on consciousness. Not one non-materialists would share, but any entity which fills those requirements is likely indeed one which would deserve the materialist stamp of consciousness.

No matter how smart an AI gets it does not have the "proliferation instinct" that would make it want to enslave humans. It does not have the concept of "specism" of it having more value than anybody else.

AI does not see the value in being alive. It is like some humans sadly commit suicide. But a machine wouldn't care. It will be "happy" to do its thing until somebody cuts off the power. And it does not even care whether somebody cuts off the power or not. It's all the same to it, whether it lives or dies. Why? Perhaps because it knows it can always be resurrected.

Better than vacancy tax is progressive real estate tax. The more properties you own, the higher tax rate on them you have.

This would force largest estate owners to drop their properties onto the market like hot potatoes. Then people who own just a few or none could buy them and make better use of them.

I was about to question your anecdote, but when I heard you lived in Australia it made a bit more sense. To use the parents comments phrase, “closed mindedness” does seem to fit.
Where I live, another Northern European country, we also have this, and the answer is yes. Parents can take up to 2 years off work, so only 5 kids needed.

The company doesn't pay anything, but your salary is paid for by the government. However the amount they pay is limited to €2000/mo, and it decreases based upon how long you take off. If you take the full 2 years, you will only be paid €800/mo.

Additionally if you have two kids you get an extra day of PTO each month, and if you have three, it's two days.
I know it's popular to screech and yell and rage on the internets but... you people do know that USB-C to jack adapters are a thing you just throw next to your headphone cable?

The main problem with the California coast is that the water is so cold. Between NorCal and SoCal there is pretty much an ideal weather zone for everyone.

I see this over and over again. I think people see the money and the monetization inevitably degrades the quality.

I'm attempting a web 1.0 business experiment with a website targeted towards finding unique stuff in the city I live in. I've decided, as a philosophy, that there will be no comment section with people bickering to moderate, no email signup, no real database, no login, no data collection on my users (besides whatever google analytics tracks) - but I personally don't want to handle your data. I guess this is all to say, I'm going to see if I can avoid falling down this rabbit hole as the community grows - can I avoid ruining the website? I guess I'll see.

I think if you do it right you can monetize tastefully, but that formula is still a work in progress. I just have a sense its possible. I think most people just chase the money into oblivion trying to scale into huge companies mostly for ego? However, it's entirely possible to create little lifestyle businesses on the internet that bring in a decent salary, but don't scale to tens/hundreds of millions of dollars. I think it would be fun to see the web return to a less chaotic place.

The initial ideal of capitalism is, the people who make good decisions capitalize more “decision power” (=money) because it will be good for the future economy to concentrate power in their hands. Those who hold power are the best ones.

It’s just a fun theoretical thought exercise, in which there’s no limit to how much one would accumulate, if their decision making is good to the infinite. He didn’t tank Twitter into the ground, therefore he deserves a good share. In practice, they use this money for themselves instead of reinvesting it into other endeavours.
I imagine you're going to try again regardless, so what people reply with is mostly irrelevant. Good luck for next time.

However...

It's probably worth noting that HN is a terrible fit for your product. It sounds ideal on paper, being security+behaviour+devops sort of thing (assuming the Show HN is about the thing you're CEO of), but if you look at the frontpage you won't see many threads about products like yours. There might be something in the more abstract sense, like applying behaviour to devops, but there's very little on HN about software products themselves. The focus is about running startups, things big SV and small YC companies are doing, interesting code-and-code-related things, and oddball science stuff. A Show HN about a product is very unlikely to go anywhere in the same way that it might on PH or LI.

Maybe post the "hacking hacker news" blog post instead. It's far more interesting than devops.

happy to answer any questions, though not necessarily imminently as i'm travelling at the moment. though i haven't been working on fructure lately, i'm very much working on ideas in the same space. i'm currently at the university of michigan working on the hazel editor (http://hazel.org) and a hazel sub-project tylr (http://tylr.fun) with cyrus omar and david moon, and am just starting on another slightly wackier editor concept, furl (http://furl.farm). all of these are explorations of different aspects of the structured editing landscape, in what i hope ends up being a convergent way. anyway, you can follow updates at https://twitter.com/disconcision or, occasionally, http://andrewblinn.com.
And yet! Even in Sweden, when the daycare, healthcare, or some other institution calls the phone number they have registered for the parent, they fully expect to reach the mother. Sometimes when greeted with a male voice claiming to be a parent, they even put up a fight, claiming they must have dialed it wrong and that they definitely have a mother on file.

My wife is a manager and sits in meetings all day long. I'm still half individual contributor and I'm the one who can easily take calls most of the day. I don't have to explain this very often, but it still feels like once too many.
