Even that isn't really true. It might be where he ended up, but he didn't start there. He was working day and night to get his supplement company off the ground. It was only after he had some solid clients and established it that he was able to start making some decisions that led to reduced hours focused on it... which where then spent on other ventures (mostly angle investing, consulting, and writing it would seem).

Too many people pick up the 4 Hour Work Week thinking they will read it and go from their 9-5 job to a 4 hour working week at their own business in the course of a week, and that's just not realistic. I don't think it ever was. The book does have some interesting tips and ideas that can be applied to any job to help save some time, which is all I really took away from it.

Most of the people who preach about passive income and snake oil salesmen. I just recently heard someone classify their YouTube channel as their passive income stream. Sure, once they make a video it can keep earning without them doing anything, but for a successful channel they need to be writing, recording, editing, and posting a ton of videos on a regular basis over the course of many years. And if they stop the channel will start to die. That isn't passive at all. The same goes for courses that take an incredible amount of work to produce. They also need to be maintained, comments/questions answered, etc. People make a lot of money selling these "passive income" streams while hiding the dirty little secret that they are actually working all the time. They just aren't directly trading time for money, which can act as a force multiplier.

It seems like the only real passive income is via investments designed around income production, like dividend stocks. But the person has to do something to get enough cash to start making that possible, which is no trivial matter.

That all being said, there are a decent number of digital nomads who aren't working 4 hour work weeks, but are still living the type of life the book talks about. That Vagabonding lifestyle where you work enough to keep traveling. It's just that the work is online instead of working at local pubs or farms where you're traveling.
The whole ordeal would still be kafkaesque and cruel even if he had been guilty. I'd rather be a dog in a shelter than a prisoner awaiting trial in Texas.
While I despise Nazis, KKK and the likes from the core of my heart. And while I find the limits on free speech in German law reasonable and well proportioned given our history (for example you are not allowed to deny the holocaust having happened publicly) let me still quote something (translated with DeepL) from somebody who lived through the Third Reich as a victim:

When the Nazis came for the Communists, I kept silent; after all, I was not a Communist.

When they took the trade unionists, I kept silent; I was not a trade unionist.

When they took the Jews, I kept silent; I was not a Jew.

When they took me, there was no one left to protest.

That’s possible. However there are also a huge number of things that would be great for the environment like really complete recycling, very land efficient agriculture, ocean cleanup, etc, that would become economically feasible if energy were really cheap.
Umm...good?

In true life-or-death situations, instinct and training still kicks in.

But maybe cops should be hesitating before deciding to escalate a situation just because someone challenged them when they overstepped their legal authority.

I mean doctors and engineers can both face jail time for negligence. The US Military has strict rules of engagement and soldiers can face court marshal. There’s no reason the police can’t or shouldn’t be held accountable for negligence or worse behavior.
Yes. In our adversarial justice system, we rely on the DA to eagerly prosecute, the defense attorney or public defender to eagerly defend, the judge or jury to render the verdict, and the legislature to pass laws. Trying to compensate for dysfunction in one system by introducing dysfunction in another only makes the issues worse.

Boudin was a public defender, and a pretty good one at that. He carried the public defender mindset into the DA's office, and it didn't work well.

(You edited your comment to add "irrespective of circumstances", which changes the meaning. There will always be gray areas where we rely on the judge or the DA to exercise discretion, but in a healthy system the scope of those areas can't amount to refusing to enforce entire statutes or reinterpreting statutes by executive policy.)
Show HN: Roast Our Twitter CRM and DM Management App
Hi,

We're giving away free beta tester accounts for our Twitter CRM/DM management app.

We're building it to help fellow bootstrapped founders find their first customers on Twitter.

Would appreciate you test driving it and let us know if it's useful for you?

All we need are your feedback about the app to help us make it better...

Here's a link to sign up for the beta: https://www.firstx.ai/private-beta

A little more about why we built this:

We know if you're actively networking with a lot of people on Twitter to promote your business or project, your inbox can get confusing pretty quick.

So we built FirstX.

It's designed to help you segment who to follow up with, when to follow up, who said they were interested, or needed a link from you or whatever...

We built one dashboard, where you can find Twitter users to connect with using hashtags, keywords or URLs, and you can send, and group your Twitter DMs without losing track of your contacts...

Again, here's the link to our private beta - and please don't hold back!

I admire how Norway treats Anders Breivik. The guy decided to become a monster. Norway decided against becoming a monster. He is in prison, because he cannot be free. His biggest problem in prison seems to be an outdated Playstation.

In his case there is no expectation of reform, so his punishment is not meant to educate him, it basically just does what needs to be done, without being cruel. In OP's case, I think it is reasonable to expect some conversion process. Having to clean the jail sounds like a good way to learn some humility.
Only so effective because of the lack of competent opposition pushing them to be better, as I was trying to express. If you can do your job basically free of corrective feedback, it’s going to get progressively worse.

Police are as good as society forces them to be, marching in the street to abolish them doesn’t put any pressure on them to be better.

You have a very rose colored view of the world. Some folks are presented with an opportunity to sell (or be an accessory to the sale) and the deal is too good to pass up because the alternative is starving.
A season pass is quite different to a loot box, however. You're spending a fixed amount each month and hopefully getting entertainment value in return. Not much different to a Netflix or Spotify subscription.

Loot boxes, on the other hand, are tapping in to addictive gambling behaviours. They're like casino slot machines, except unregulated!

I dunno man, seems like he's a strong law and order DA. The only problem is he's applying the laws to people who normally get to do whatever they want, so yeah a well funded recall campaign.

> They’re just bad at their jobs.

This is incredibly naive. In Los Angeles County, for example, there are deputy gangs[0]. That is, the police have their own gang within the department. Often they come from less fortunate backgrounds, but they’re still out to use their power for their own gain. It’s not just being bad at their jobs.

Nice to see this quite wrongly understood quote from Rosa Luxemburg here. Her quote was a hand written notation in the margins of a text and scholars, given the context, come to the conclusion that these words were sarcastically used by her.

On other occasions she clearly spoke against democracy or freedoms for people having other ideologies than herself.

I personally had to learn not to use this quote anymore after discovering the background years ago in a documentary.

They are proposing 2 major rule changes which would affect retail traders:

1) Instead of banning payment for order flow, they are proposing all retail orders get put into auctions, with brokers competing to execute them. This (as I understand the proposal) makes PFOF impossible. Robinhood (for example) wouldn't be able to sell their order flow to Citadel, Citadel would have to win that flow by offering retail investors the best deal.

2) They are proposing standardized "tick ladders" (price increments) across all venues including sub-cent increments. So people won't be able to shave say 100th of a penny off a price to snatch executions away from standard venues.
It’s a gross abuse of the recall process. Recalls should be reserved for flagrant abuses of power, egregious ethical lapses, or profound incompetence.

If voters are just unhappy with an elected official, they should follow the normal election process. The SF DA is up for a routine election in November of 2023.

Turning recalls into a routine part of politics, where billionaire-backed activists can try to dump a bunch of money into advertising and redo every election they didn’t like the outcome of, in low-turnout primaries or special elections, ends up costing the city a fortune and distorting the ordinary political process.

Based on what I understood from Sabine Hossenfelder's writing, yes, that is a big chunk of modern physics. One example is "the naturalness problem", that some base parameters of the SM are orders of magnitude larger or smaller than other ones - which is of course entirely possible as a fact of nature.

This is something I should probably do as well. Lucky for me I've had an iPhone since 2007, so a good number of my stuff is geotagged, but I do have older photos and gaps due to photos given to me by others.

I just made a Smart Album in Photos to show me all the photos that aren't geotagged... Just shy of 2,000. That seems like something I can chip away at while bored.
Being predatory isn't about gating later advancement, that's actually less of a problem in my eyes, that's just a different form of DLC. What makes some games predatory is when when combine payments with randomness as to what benefit you get. That's why people are calling it gbling, because it uses the same mechanisms and is using all the lessons learned from casinos as to how to effectively maximize engagement and income.

The difference? Gambling is often regulated so there's specific payout percentages. Because there's not a direct monetary payout but instead a decoupled game benefit, it's not regulated the same way, so they're free to do whatever they want with the payouts (including valuing all the items however they want if they are called on to), as well as market to children who may not recognize the system for what it is.
> Technology has moved on.

Well, how far do you want to take that argument? One could argue the last time high performance piston engine engineering actually mattered was in the aero engines of the 1940'ies. Then you had the might of nation states pouring resources (directly, or indirectly through buying lots of them) into making the absolutely highest performing (in terms of power/weight) engines. With some consideration to reliability, of course, and relatively little consideration to cost. Producing masterpieces like the mighty R-2800.

After that the serious development money went into turbines. Sure, piston engine development didn't stop, but the development going into "performance at any cost" was a pittance compared to other priorities.

How is TypeScript more "secure" than JavaScript?
This is a typical brute behavior. It's not about breaking a rule or two for the sake of success, it's about doing it while riding on people's backs. You think that stealing someone's voice is ok for a small startup company because you don't have the budget to know better while this is not the issue at hand. You obviously know this is wrong and are trying to get away with it riding on people's good intentions.

This is blunt and clear immoral behavior and you are fully aware of it. You just think that you have the right to reach success not by your own skills, but by stepping on other people, and until they complain you'll keep doing it.

Stopped using them years ago. As a European I expect to pay the price that is advertised in the beginning, nothing more. No taxes and fees added later, that's just illegal. Of course there are also shady European businesses that break the rules, but Airbnb was a clear, systematic offender.

Additionally I remember when travelling to non-Euro countries they insisted that I have to pay in Euro "for my convenience", of course the conversion rate was significantly worse than what my bank would have offered. (I checked by visiting the site in local currency of the host.)

I don't need the convenience of being cheated. If I couldn't handle different currencies, I would stop travelling there.

Edit: Obviously for the Australian customers mentioned in the article they were less concerned about convenience. But the pattern of doing business unfavorable for the customer is the same.

One of the very things destroying the environment and negatively affecting public health?

> So no credit for feeding the billions

This isn't school and human lives and people are not statistics. The question to ask is "at what cost?". Does feeding those billions suddenly do anything to help the 800 million or so starving in a world that has enough to feed them? What about the illions of animals and plants humans have destroyed over the past few hundred years? Again, at what cost?

A related aside: when humans originally started to utilize agriculture in the beginning of human history, the overall affect was a net negative in health, life expectancy, and efficiency (i.e., time spent working).

Your conclusion doesn’t follow from your premises, and your second premise is false besides as others have pointed out — CPUs CANNOT simulate even classical physics exactly, and certainly not quantum physics.

But even if such a complete simulation were possible, there’s every reason to assume a CPU would lack the consciousness to experience anything. When you simulate a hurricane does the CPU get wet?

>Instead, American Airlines “departed from its established procedures,” according to the lawsuit, and sent police a single passenger’s information — Lowe’s.

Has American Airlines said if they departed from their established procedures here, would be interesting to know. Because if they say they departed from established procedures that's really bad for them in court, but if they complied with their established procedures then they would have a reason why those are their procedures which they would have to say.

hmm, well we have this procedure of telling the police who to pick up so as to protect the privacy of all our other passengers - that won't go very well for them in court either because big time they're liable.... sure doesn't look good for American Airlines

We have economic democracy, participatory economics and good old Freiwirtschaft (can be translated as free (as in freedom) economics by Silvio Gesell.

>What's interesting is that this is exactly what nature accomplishes

Capitalism only allows for growth, whenever the economy isn't growing, people get fired and you have an economic recession or depression. Freiwirtschaft simply allows for both growth and decay. There is no discontinuity i.e. recession and no unemployment when the economy isn't growing. People will keep working to maintain their existing capital, that includes restoring nature.
This describes some monads but not others. IO and State can be thought of as environments supporting effects, but it doesn't really make sense to think of a List like that.
