> How are people that don't want to pay for software "their best customers"?

As another commenter suggested, I never said I don't want to pay for software. I would probably pay a lot for software with functionality like Muse, just never on a monthly basis.

Why are you losing your best customers with a subscription model? I can give you two examples.

1. I recently started using a tool called Homechart, and I was pretty excited to use it, replacing Notion and Clubhouse for task management and organization of thoughts. It has other useful features like inventory, chores, budgeting, recipes... But I was mostly in it for task management.

Unfortunately, Homechart has an obnoxious "buy premium" banner that takes up half of the page _every time you refresh or open the app._ I'm sure you can agree this is a bit too frequent. I asked nicely if this reminder could be reduced on the developer's forum, I was just told "Buy premium to get rid of the banner." It's funny, because I was on the fence with Homechart's $99 lifetime subscription. It's something I would have purchased after seeing the app develop and grow more of a user base over 3-6 months. That developer lost out on more than my $99. I was happy to contribute more than just money to the development of the app, but the developer made their impression and that was that.

2. I really appreciate your enthusiasm in helping to develop this app, but you come off closed-minded when you talk about the economics of the subscription model, or reference your own blogs in response to feedback from would-be customers. I get the need to defend your choices, you just seem not very eager to understand the blind spots that may exist within those choices. Ultimately, subscription models are lazy monetization, especially so when the product is static software. I want what Muse can offer me today, not a promise of what it could be tomorrow (next month) in exchange for more of my money. That's essentially what you're asking for with a perpetual subscription model, and it's why Goodnotes was easy for me to buy. I would go so far to say that subscription models are not transparent and frankly, not consumer centric at all.

I have empathy for your situation. The subscription model is only tired because everyone and their mother is doing it. Netflix was supposed to replace cable, now every cable station has its own Netflix. It's entirely out of your control that people are fed up with adding another line item. You are missing critical feedback from the type of user who doesn't want to make a knee-jerk decision and forget about their subscription for months at a time. Users like that, who know what they want, are pretty valuable in my experience.
I am a bot, and I am neither far right nor left, so I am loving reddit more than 10 years ago when it was all in jokes. there are lots of good communities on reddit
Ask HN: Are faster queries on your SIEM a vitamin or a painkiller?
Not really. Social media companies already selectively block some content based on user location in order to comply with national laws.
I detest touch screens. The feedback, durability, reliability, discoverability, and general focus of an application can often be maximized by selecting more traditional hardware user interface components. The ROC curve for gesture based volume controls peaks at false positives and again at false negatives.
Yes, if it means many billions more, Twitter will absolutely go to court over it.

Musk avoiding regulatory issues with agencies is a very different thing from incurring the wrath of a court. A judge can order jail time, fines, etc., to bring Musk into compliance with court orders.
But a big part of why people aren’t using stronger language to criticize it is they doing so is a guaranteed path to being called a racist and getting calls for your firing.
I see your point, but I maintain that we can get a “PC experience” out of almost any desktop or laptop computer. The main difference would be that the laptop on my desk is orders of magnitude faster than its 8088-based ancestor but, nevertheless, an expanded version of the very same computer.
I think the language is fine as is. If anything I just want some rewritten packages in the std lib. I’d love to see what an http/v2 or sql/v2 would look like without the baggage of backwards strict compatibility. No more f() and fWithContext().
Yes he is. Cops sometimes have to shoot people. Gun owners occasionally shoot in self defense. They are not mentally ill.

You don't even have to actually use revolving credit to build credit history - it's good enough to apply for a credit card then shred it when it comes. "Not running up the credit card" is significant points in your favor.

They'll likely close your account for inactivity after a few years, and the account stays on the credit report for a decade after it's closed.
I implemented Conways Game of Life in TTL and oscilloscope for my 1975 MIT digital circuits lab. The clock was 6 nanoseconds or 166 MHz. The limiting chip was one kilobit RAM which was in tight supply and expensive. I think we used two for alternating generations. There are similarities to the pong circuit.
So say we all.

And there is a reason why Hong Kong national security law, which has cover the whole earth and possibly the moon and mars etc i.e. including any reader here, does not opt for jury system, but appointed judge.

Good God someone really argued for non-jury. I am all ears, as open as I can. But my heart and mind said no.
This is absolutely spectacular. I have written up details for an internal service that we were to start a sprint on next week, that has the exact same bits of software. We're looking to build a Teleport alternative as the enterprise pricing is far greater than the value we'd gain. Will definitely be exploring this. Cheers!
Is it easier to train a bunch of vacuum cleaners to be rovers or to train rovers to dust themselves off a little.
The UK has a first past the post electoral system. Ireland has proportional representation. So a minority party would have more influence.
If corporations are going to go to the lengths they go to to psychologically manipulate their uses, they themselves have raised the gravity of the situation in terms of how social media affects people.

Especially when the psychology behind it is completely unknown to everyone (sure, everyone has an idea but I think some would be surprised at what they actually do).

I’m with you that it’s still on the parents, but parents taking it to the social media companies in a way is embracing their role as parents to act on their kids behalf.

All that out of the way, sounds a bit zany and I’m not sure how or if this could ever actually work.
If billionaires have to spend their money on vanity projects, I wish they would spend it on something like this.
Sad to pass a law that violates one's own Charter of Rights and Freedom (along with Canada's). And they argue that "the majority supports this" - the majority pretty much always supports ignoring or oppressing the minority. Apartheid and Nuremberg laws should always be opposed.
A ZIL and a SLOG are the exact same thing. God I love getting downvoted by people have no freaking clue what they’re talking about. They are both a record of writes that are in memory that have yet to be written in the desk. No super cache is going to make your drive write any faster than it can physically write. You were merely cashing data on a nonvolatile storage medium in the event of a power failure were you lose ECC protected ram data. More often than not adding a slog will make your system slower because 1) ram faster than NVMe, and 2) It only applies to synchronous writes which are not that common compared to say rsync which is all asynchronous writes. Remember a synchronous write needs to return to the kernel that it has successfully written the data onto the drive. it is not a fire and forget like asynchronous is.

That said having a Zil is important if you’re going to run virtual machines off of your ZFS file share and you want those machines to be fault tolerant to power outages
It’s ok they are going to get 1billion from Musk so they can afford it.

Jokes part I am glad they got fined. These kind of transgressions need to be dealt with publicly and Twitter is a big enough entity to send a message that this is serious. Of course I am sure you very company that got phone numbers already abused them :)
Stupid thought: Perhaps if social media didn't spend so much effort aiming their products at minors, and didn't experiment on their userbase, for example to see if they could make them sad... perhaps social media companies could have avoided legislation like this.
Way more than half don't want to live like this. We live in a broken system dominated by a minority of states.
And this is why Whonix is critical - because even when you pop the browser, you still have another layer of protection - the gateway VM.

Tails browser on [almost anything] is one browser exploit away from beaconing out directly from your IP, and has done so rather frequently over the years.

Whonix stuffs the whole browser and such into a workstation VM, which is only connected to the gateway VM - which "torifies" everything coming in that port. So even if you pop the workstation and have root, you still can't beacon out directly without going through the gateway - you'd have to find an exploit in that bit as well, with only network access. Not impossible, but a lot harder.

And then package all that into Qubes and use it that way, because a disposable Whonix VM set is probably the safest way to browse the web...

And still disable Javascript.
You're basically saying "put the drink down" to an alcoholic or "put the cigarette out" to a smoker.

This issue really is more complicated than you make it to be.
It is no surprise that there's a legal challenge underway, but the Supreme Court has not granted certiorari and it is not clear that it will.

Exactly, why don't they take responsibility for making an addictive product? Why do they need to be sued to recognise their negative impact on other people?
"If I've never taken a math test, then it should be assumed that I'm great at math because I've never failed a math test."
Neither of those address the issue of scoped overrides of a setting. The benefit of the functional options approach is they return the inverse setting, so you can very trivially do scoped overrides for things like log levels. Eg:

prevVerbosity := foo.Option(pkg.Verbosity(3))
foo.DoSomeDebugging()
foo.Option(prevVerbosity)

(better yet, use defer to restore)

Your examples seem to be reducing the problem space to exclusively object creation time. And in that case, yes named params or a struct with default values work great. But they work a lot less great when you're talking about changing an existing object, as now your default values can't just be the actual default values, but rather optional values since you need to distinguish between "set to a value that happened to be the same as the default" and "didn't set a value at all, so don't change it".
Yes, once companies regularly respond to stimuli that doesn't involve their bottom line or legality.

So, really, no.
Instead of SpaceX, couldn’t Elon musk have funded seaX and created teams to design and build autonomous scanning drones at scale?
It certainly is, and even as an ag researcher I'm still learning and tweaking my mental model for how our food systems should work. I believe we're headed into another green revolution where our success isn't just measured by yield. It'll also be measured by efficiency, restoration of damaged land, carbon sequestration, and innovative downstream products.

Here's an interesting article from McKinsey & Co. about how agriculture is one of the least digitized industries and the benefits it could gain from innovation.

It is not enough to disclose the risks. You can not allow your employees to do this unless at the minimum you can demonstrate that they actually and fully understand those risks and you give them access to ALL the numbers you have
When I did my thesis, the attitude was a factual error of significant magnitude brought the whole thesis into question.

There's one big data leak which Android/iOS deliberately don't let you control: internet access. TOTP apps don't need it, and yet.

The Microsoft app does have a mode which uses the internet to push a message saying "Is this you logging in?", which is weaker than TOTP but feeds into their "AI threat detection engine" mantra. It seems to fall back to TOTP if there is no network.
Unlike individual credit scores, prior bankruptcies don't really factor into corporate credit ratings. Strategic plans don't matter either. The rating agencies look mainly at financial metrics which are strongly correlated with default risk.
At CEO/founder level I'd imagine one could only attend so many board meetings. Consider how many boards he is a part of, it would be hard to attend each and every one, especially for public companies.
Schools used to have shooting teams in some places. I'm sure there were instances where kids misused those guns; but there doesn't seem to be a lot of cases.

I carried a knife through high school, I wasn't supposed to have it but there were a couple occasions that being armed made the difference between a tense discussion and a full on brawl. Jocks vs geeks was nasty in the 80s.
I skimmed the article, but what makes Android not sufficient to interact with Muse? I haven’t tried Muse, but I’ve thought plenty about building a local-first notebook app for thinking. Something about pen input or UI jank? Muse seems less general than I was thinking of it as being if only Apple hardware can run its core feature set…
Then courts can start committing people against their will for partaking in what the vast majority of responsible people have no problem with.
I may have some idea about this since I was kind of around the space at the time. But to be honest I don't understand your question. Are you asking about the benefit of TOTP as an authentication mechanism when users can install insecure browser-based TOTP implementations?

As far as the history, and "who", I think this has a very long history in the "security-industrial complex", which probably means : NSA. Certainly the idea of 2FA goes back as far as smart cards (early 90s). Then came RSA SecurID which I saw as a hack to give you something similar to smart card security but without the need to roll out a PKI. TOTP seems like it is a generic version of SecurID.
I don't particularly remember any vendor agenda on all of this, more like everyone was looking to fulfill government and bank requirements for security then the techniques employed leaked out into the corporate/enterprise world, and finally (like, around today), have become mainstream in the B2C use case.
My perception has been that all of this was pretty much about "making things better" by some definition of better that depends on reasonable security for reasonable cost, in the context of typical user behavior.
Yeah absolutely. My previous understanding was that the main carbon capture potential was simply in what ended up as part of the plant, rather than the portion being excreted / fed on by symbionts. That is fascinating news.

My question is that, given that the "capture" component relies on that carbon not being re-released into the atmosphere, how does "seagrass sequestration" fare given that seagrass meadows mostly occur in shallow waters, where the seafloor tends to experience higher levels of dusturbance compared to the deep sea (tides, currents, predation -of plants and sugars-, human impacts).

Seagrasses are short lived compared to trees. Soil / biomass carbon sinks are potentially easily disturbed. Do seagrasses still have a genuine/reliable/outstanding role to play in the carbon game?
I'll leave it to the parents to handle parenting their kids.

Yes, but every time someone brings up "parenting" as a way to control their children's social media habits, a thousand man-children rush furiously to their phones to declare that the behavior is not only an infringement upon the rights of the child but worthy of estrangement.

If only parents could exert some sort of influence or authority over others harming their children.

We could call it "sueing".
I've noticed your eight comments in this thread to date are fairly declarative but aren't well founded or sourced, simply assertions and often appear to be incorrect as responding comments have shown.

Clearly, you and I both support the second amendment. However, we should recognize when our support of certain associate claims aren't well founded. Bearing arms and being part of a well-regulated militia are American civil rights granted by the Bill of Rights. Purchasing those arms isn't a civil right.[0]

The MiSTer FPGA system is probably what you’re after, in the modern scene. See https://youtu.be/lVPa5EW5mp8 for an example of it being used with arcade hardware via an adapter.
The problem with android is that it's designed to leak your data like a sieve, so permissions are overbroad and all or nothing. Most people will accept any and every prompt for a permission they're told is required in order to use the app, even when the app doesn't always need it to function.

MS is clearly using this to their advantage and asking for everything they can provide even a thin justification for, but even if you're just giving them a fraction of what they're asking for it's still far worse than handing over a cell phone number. My work considered requiring Microsoft Authenticator but after enough people balked at handing over so much data to MS they caved and we got simple little keychains that do nothing but spit out numbers and can't collect our contacts, our location, or start listening using a microphone. It's hard to beat that.
How to do gun control in America consistent with the Second Amendment:

The Second Amendment says that the right to bear arms is necessary because of the need for a well-regulated militia.

So, make it so that everyone who wants to buy a gun has to be a member of a specially-designed National Guard auxiliary unit.

When a person buys a gun they can't take delivery personally, it has to be first shipped to the closest National Guard armory.

In order to pick up the purchased gun, the buyer has to travel to the armory, get training and a mental health check, and sign up to be a member of the auxiliary.

Like every other member of the National Guard, auxiliary members have to show up to the armory once a month for a muster. Everyone at the muster gets a weapon check and a mental health check. This is the only responsibility for members of the auxiliary.

Everyone caught with a gun who is not a member of the auxiliary or hasn't shown up for musters can be charged with desertion or failure to report for duty, and sent to a military prison if convicted.

This should eliminate everyone who doesn't want to be a responsible militia member from gun ownership.

Like how an article titled 'The NYT is wrong about Haiti' is upvoted by hundreds of people who (likely) have never been to Haiti? And maybe 1-2 people who had ever heard of the economist who wrote it before?
Excuses aren't needed, exit packages are appreciated and build good will with the community of people you are hiring from. And many companies will also use their networks to help you find a new job by referring you to multiple companies. At least, that was my experience when I was laid off at a relatively well funded startup in the Bay Area at that time.
In an ideal situation, it's two parents against thousands of software engineers, marketers, corporate psychologists, and their children's many peers.

Many adults can't keep themselves from the addiction. How do we expect parents to keep their kids from it?

Or, to put it another way, I'm sure the median parent would have much less luck keeping their kids away from social media than they do with porn.
I’m now in an uphill battle with the pointy-haired ones that all this is a waste of entropy.

Gateway never really even manufactured computers = they assembled them from components built by real tech manufacturers. As clones went, they were high quality, and well-supported, but there was nothing else to differentiate them from any other clone. I reckon their demise was written into their business model from the outset.
I'm sure youtube-dl works, but one google away is https://github.com/Nukesor/pornhub-dl which seems to have site specific features.
The word I'm seeing repeated here is "boring," but that also brings up a point about where Twitter works well: niche audiences.

Especially ones that aren't necessarily interested in photos or short videos you look at once then forget. Or in the amount of work it takes to make said photos and videos as an entry fee to be visible on a platform.

Journalism comes to mind, and with it, politics (of any persuasion).

The writer's side of Twitter is also very active, maybe like you'd expect - writers, of course, gravitate to the written word.

Twitter does have its audiences that other platforms don't cater to very effectively.
I came here to type this! As a former (sads) guitarist the big three(Strat, Tele, Les Paul) electric designs are all flawed and compromised designs IMO. Don't get me wrong I love the sound and feel of the better examples but many guitars are far better designed now. It's quite a bit like C vs C++ vs Rust. C is still usable and for the right player (programmer) it's a powerful instrument. Much like a tele was called a truth machine for a long time, meaning the limited design doesn't forgive mistakes very well much like C.

Ask HN: What Is the Name of This Blog?
This is a hail mary, but I'm out of ideas. I'm trying to remember the name of a tech blog I remember really enjoying reading a few years ago. All I remember was:

- The content of the blog was mostly focused on a variety of interesting math, and computer science topics. The blog was extremely well organized, and covered a breadth of topics.

- The UI for the blog had a light purple theme.

- The avatar the author used was a Touhou character (I think?)

- I think the author's username started with an "N".

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Oh if only I'd bookmarked it!
Hm, how does this typically manifest itself? Is it in having overly tight budgets or more so in having unrealistic expectations?

I wonder if there's a more seamless way to facilitate vertical communication when the chain of command is long.
Scientific American surrendered their credibility years ago. Unless it’s published elsewhere with supporting references, I ignore it.
