I think you are misunderstanding that article and the underlying case. It’s not a legal argument that all DAOs are all General Partnerships, but specifically DAOs not using or “wrapped” by a legal entity might be classified as General Partnerships. It’s no different than any sole proprietorship or business not protected by a legal entity, there can be unlimited personal liability.
TBH 1,3 and 4 of your arguments are just subjective. You are used to something different and not willing to learn this way or dislike the appearance..

For 2 you can see it that way. Or you are glad there are no exceptions and prefer the explicitness of error handling in Go. So in the end it's also subjective I guess.

I remember when I first looked at Go ~7-8 years ago I also didn't like the syntax. However it grew on me and now I like it. Opinions change. These days I try to not instantly judge something on my initial feelings.

How wonderful. I just paid them a fair amount last week - large than any of my previous donations - thinking they were struggling. Now if only I had waited for HN expert analysis. sobs

I have completely dropped the use of Wikipedia on political and world affairs, including modern history, due to very slanted views.
Waste of tax payers money
Look at the amortization schedule of a mortgage. The first 5 years, you knock almost nothing off of the principal. If a Canadian mortgage is designed to backload principal even further to a balloon payment at the end, then even less of the principal is paid, and the rollover to the next loan is for almost the original amount. Perhaps I am misunderstanding what the OP described, but I don't see how a mortgage holder would ever pay off the principal in 5 or 50 years under that scenario.
You need the tractor and fuel for farming or else you are going to waste your entire life farming and not getting anywhere. You need the car to transport and trade with others. Honestly, a lot of Africans won't notice anything different in a technology apocalypse.
My interpretation of peyton’s comment was that the crypto industry players these days incorporate in places with more legal and regulatory flexibility than the US these days, not that something has changed in US regulations to make Delaware less favorable.
Woah, that sounds interesting, do you have any links to share regarding that issue?
What's wrong with a wrapper around Safari? It's a capable and efficient browser. Firefox can wrap its bookmark sharing and whatever around it (I actually use Firefox on iOS, though I don't bother with the profile sharing). We don't need Safari to be 100% Chrome compatible, right? That's just for lazy programmers and greedy marketeers.
>By this model, it is possible that there was some physical process before it that caused it and has been going on forever.

What about the topic of this post, the second law of thermodynamics?

>That's a cop-out.

In a way. It's a hypothetical answer to the question. But it also doesn't offer any proof or a way to test if it's true or not.

>What does it mean to "exist" if it isn't related to space and time?

I think to some degree it's a mystery. One analogy that can partially get there, is consider if we built a really powerful computer and simulated an AI person and world inside (assuming there's no soul, this seems plausibly possible). That person would just know the simulated space and time, and would think nothing else exists, but yet we exist. This isn't a full explanation because it would have the turtles all the way down problem, but I think it helps to conceptualize the idea of something outside of our space and time.

>What if the physical universe dictates the laws of physics?

Scientific progress seems to me to be finding more and more foundational phenomenon that are causing higher-level phenomenon. It seems strange that at some point things stop being caused and instead cause themselves, don't follow laws but instead create laws out of nothing. It just seems different to me than what we've observed so far.

>Unless you want to call the physical universe "god", which is on itself a valid deistic proposition.

I guess that sort of makes sense. But I think it makes more sense to divide it into the foundation cause, and everything that rippled out from that.
Thank God it wasn't a joke (it was a pun)! Glad you agree puns are fine and infantalizing minorities is dehumanizing them.
Fair point, though search engines are aware of special headers that tell them not to publicize the link to the content. Would it be any safer with the key in the GET parameter string? Search engines still usually treat this string as part of the address.
At least with cars things are different for now; the browser/platform business model is a "surveillance capitalism" one.

Where we (Google or Google via a deal with Apple) give away a product, that has been extremely costly to build, for free, in return for you giving us a (de-facto) exclusive on profiling and data mining your online behaviour, so we can get an effective monopoly on brokering advertisement.
> Once concurrency is introduced you can now read from the same variable, but another goroutine may have written to the same slice in the meantime. That's why you must protect the read and writes and synchronise them.

But, again, this can easily occur in sequential code as well: you call a function passing it the slice, it mutates the slice internally, it doesn't document that, or maybe the documentation is even wrong, you now hit this issue.
I know that some people take comfort in looking at the remains of their dead loved ones. My stepfather always insisted on visiting the funeral home when e.g. one of his friends had died. It provided him with some kind of closure. I myself have always been uncomfortable with the practice and never went along. I made one exception, which I still regret. I went to see my mother in her casket, and the image still haunts me. She looked like someone I did not know. I prefer to remember people alive: animated, smiling, talking, looking back into your eyes.

Maybe they can put that towards moderating their forum. Almost every post is a reply from users berating the OP and being generally unhelpful. Ive seen it turn off plenty of people from ever wanting to touch it.

There are various community moderators on the Reddit and other places that are also actively hostile looking for their empowerment high. I've been censored and banned for pointing it out when it happens even.
When asked when "full self-driving" would be available, he said

> 3 month maybe

THAT is an estimate, but then he continued

> 6 months definitely.

THAT is a promise.

It continues like that.

Also, as CEO of Tesla, and with his Twitter account listed as an official source of information, he cannot just willy-nilly make "estimates“ completely and utterly removed from reality. This is misleading investors and customers, for which he repeatedly got in trouble.

OT I was looking for attribution for a little more context but the only clue comes from the footer:

“This article was first published in Medium and appeared in VentureBeat & Business Insider”

I get the syndication and the other outlets using this content at the time it was written (2016). There’s just something very dishonest about the slapping the words on a page with some stock images 6 years later though.

I don’t really have a point - maybe it would be better to link to the original medium (I know) post though?

https://medium.com/startup-lesson-learned/why-i-turned-down-...

Edit: on the other hand the article itself is very honest. And it’s an interesting question.
The sad thing is that it seems to be people who are actually poor who are most affected by this kind of sales pitch.

As is mentioned on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising/Archive_6#S...! (you have to re-add the exclamation mark which HN breaks off for the link to work) the following was posted on the English Wikipedia Help Desk during the big 2021 end-of-year fundraiser:

----------

Dear "Good Folks" At Wikipedia,

First, allow me to sincerely express my gratitude for being one of the finest Web services provided. THANK YOU to eacxh volunteer that unselfishlessly donates their time to Helping make our world a better & more knowledgable/informed place to live.

Second, While I am a very low income Senior [ live in Gov't. H.U.D. Apt.], I do still try to contribute to certain causes. Wikipedia is 1 such Group. I believe that I have given Wikipedia small donations for about 3 years now. While I do not have much to give, It is important that You know we appreciate the great work you undertake.

I do, respectfully, need to point out 1 "process" that Wikipedia implements that "disturbs/upsets" me. I just, accidentally, got rolled over to Wikipedia on a matter I am researcing. The Wikipedia "overlay" writing asking for Donations said this was 4th time You have asked me.

THAT "NOTICE" MADE ME FEEL VERY "GUILTY/BAD"....... Right now, I have $18.00 in my bank account ! That's It !

Soon, I will get my only source of Income [ a monthly Social Security Check] & will try to make a donation at that time. While I do not mind your "Reminding" me that Wikipedia can use Donations, Please quit stating this is 1st, 2nd, 3rd time......you have aqsked !

Thank You & Best Wishes, Thomas — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.33.228.209 (talk) 00:16, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

A longstanding Wikipedia admin (from South Africa) commented:

"Taking money from Thomas and then making him feel guilty for not giving more, this emotional blackmail (dare I call it extortion?) is truly despicable! You owe all the Thomases an apology and a full refund. This banner campaign is doing a lot of reputational damage, shut it down.

Until now I was proud to be a Wikipedian. Dodger67 (talk) 20:20, 16 December 2021 (UTC)"

The fundraising is just getting a bit too professional – finding out what triggers people into giving (lots of A/B tests). Of course it would be okay to launch desperate-sounding messages if Wikipedia were actually short of money, but this is about maximum revenue growth for its own sake – which works best if people remain unaware of the Wikimedia Foundation's actual financial situation.

Keeping people in the dark was not the founding ideal of Wikipedia.
It's interesting to hear Apple always talk about the level playing field they've tried to create. From within the company i think they really believe they've got a level playing field.

But then Apple has apps that can do much more than everyone else has access to, in ways that have nothing to do with security or privacy.

- Apps access to NFC (e.g Apple Pay vs you being able to make your own nfc card)

- Inability to have non WKWebView type browsers. Safari can do the one it wants, which is Apples choice.

- Health app has access to nicer push notifications than
standard

- Federated Identity type login only works with Apple. So login with Apple is built tightly into the OS, where you can't make an app that does that.

- Wallet app can access 2FA SMS code without having to type it

The list is much longer but it is not a level playing field with regards to the access to apis. If Apple has an app like Messages, other apps should be able to access the same things too.

I pretty much couldn't care less about the app store and review process, but the asymmetric access to APIs really helps Apple cement their moat (e.g with iMessage, Wallet), basically any app where they do it has serious market power.
Joyce, more than any other author, makes me ask 'by what human hands was this created?'. Truly awe-inspiring stuff.
> By and large such tools remain smaller codebase so it's flaws aren't as apparent either.

Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform and their respective ecosystems really aren't what one would call a smaller codebase.

The Egyptians didn't get the memo and failed to collapse from internal problems. Instead, they were conquered by an empire with internal problems that papers over problems by acquiring more land and gold mines.

> If it's going to happen, there's nothing that you as one of the 7+ billion humans alive on earth today can do to prevent it.

I'm one of the unreasonable people that is planning to do something about that. I consider ancient Egypt to be proof that the problem is neither ecology, population, game theory and millions of years of human evolution.

What I find particularly entertaining is that it would require me to develop "everything" from scratch in a destitute country. It ought to be impossible yet the amount of money needed to kick-start this development is something a person from silicon valley would laugh at.
> I feel used when companies or people use my work and profit from it.

Is that Open Source GPL/MIT? You define the license.

> The worse is when they advertise that they did it.

Why do you care?

> I get 0 pay, and ironically I sometimes have to travel to THEM on my own expense? Yikes I feel so dumb.

I don't get it. You traveled to some company at your own expense to solve a problem to them?

> I'm still in my twenties, but I feel like this can't go on forever. Does anyone have any suggestions what I should do?

Define your friends. You'll likely find out you have 1-3 actual friends and the rest are just people you happen to know. Also define the members of your family you are obligated/responsible to help. For everybody else, just ignore the requests and they'll stop asking.

> Like I don't wanna reject them, but if I can somewhow ask them to pay that would be great.

Don't ask "friends" to pay. They don't have the budget. Do ask companies to pay beforehand; however. Don't worry, if they do actually need you; they'll fork the cash.
The difference is that your website will be much larger and won't work without JavaScript.

Is there anything like Fossil — with a built in ticket tracker — but that does not remember exactly what I did? But instead focuses on a nice looking history?

Hmm but after having websearched for "fossil ticket site:news.ycombinator.com", not sure if I really want a built in ticket tracker. Also, seems Fossil remembers and redistributes all old revisions of tickets and comments — including typos and angry words or ... accidentally copyrighted material? someone might have added, not sure if I like that

Any thougts about Fossil's ticket tracker? (Anyone has used it?)
>if you make a GUI out of this, it will be a pain in the ass

I guarantee you, 10000%, that it will still be more usable than CLI is without having to google everything. FFMPEG is so complex that doing anything with it feels like talking in some ancient archaic code known only to the video tech wizards, and a GUI would absolutely make that better.
It's literally the same amount of keypresses.
How would info on how to grow potatoes not be something you can write down? And knowledge of a place is called a map?

To me, your comment sounds more like an argument for picking books with different topics rather than not using books but relying on oral retelling to "allow us to survive and flourish". And I agree this potato farming type of info sounds more broadly useful than the books I saw shared above about metal alloys and other automotive-related tech.

Then again, the title of the post is bouncing back, which would go beyond just farming and survival knowledge. I suppose we need both and your survival in the wild info is fundamental to allow their tech info to be useful.
Another option: let the team and investors continue without you.

You also have a fiduciary responsibility to the investor and a responsibility to the team members who worked equally as hard.
> Complete tolerance to caffeine's subjective effects is complete and takes at least 2 weeks at 400mg/day to develop. Caffeine's performance-enhancing effects remain for at least 20 days at 210mg/day. Tolerance to caffeine's effects on cerebral blood flow, blood pressure, and cortisol is incomplete. Tolerance takes 2 days to reverse at 100mg/day and up to 9+ days at 400mg+/day.

You have a device that is capable of handling the caller ID standard which passes data using the v23 dial up protocol.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caller_ID#Regional_differences

Can you remotely update firmware on modems?

Some devices can be updated remotely as these helpful guides explain.
https://www.draytek.co.uk/support/guides/fw-remote
https://www.ewon.biz/technical-support/pages/firmware/modem-...

So can a specially crafted string from the phone line be used to update firmware on ATA's? If they can handle v23 protocols for Caller ID, this indicates some modem capabilities does it not?
So can the device differentiate which interfaces the commands are coming in on?

Why do people implicitly trust the telco's? Here in the UK, if you can get fast broadband, basically anything above ADSL2+, you'll be connected to a Broadcom cabinet. Broadcom have their bugs as well, you can find them on their website, but its a less common attack vector because its not public facing as such, unlike calling a business on their freephone number and then getting a second dial tone like in the old days of phone phreaking.

TLDR is just look at these devices as circuit boards, convention can be used to hide attack vectors and whilst the circuit design can help make a device secure, the easier or more convenient it is to update a device, the easier it is to hack, its not like taking a EEPROM out to blank under UV light and re flash it, is it?
Why not use actual inline CSS instead of that?

What's wrong is that you're stuck with the same shitty browser engine. If you encounter a problem with WebKit, you're screwed.

Think it through.
This looks quite promising. I'm not sure I understand it very well yet, but essentially it's meant to replace custodial API backends with a decentralized network that's capable of sharing data with participating apps through standardized data formats (schema.org)?

Does this have any mechanisms for safely storing sensitive data on the network?
I disagree - trust is a bug in technical systems. Maintaining trust has a really high cost and is an obvious and common single point of failure.

Take TLS - wouldn't it be nice if we could have the same system without certificate authorities?

The thing is - like everything else, trust is a tradeoff. Bitcoin folks will discard it at any cost. Sometimes discarding it is not worth the cost. That doesn't mean adding trusted third parties is a good thing, just that it is often the lesser evil.
Try tint2. I dislike the default settings but it’s nice once configured.
I suspect privacy is the most malleable point on the trilema.

You can't compromise on security while still being usable.

You can compromise on decentralisation, and everything will work. Your gym, bank and employer already have you in a centralised identity system. Compromising on decentralisation fails the other way. There's no way of holding the centralised body to its side of the compromise. If worldcoin controls identity, they'll control downstream of identity too.

For actual solutions, I think it's better to think of specifics applications. Once you get specific, there are often more options.

Take DAUS governance. Say you want to implement a voting system that requires identity for sybil resistance. Maybe it's ok if voting requires a limited compromise on privacy. You expose just enough information to demonstrate eligibility, then vote. If privacy is more important that voting, you can maintain privacy instead.
The rendering engine is less important than the JS apis. Safari is missing half of them and some of them are flat out broken.
That’s what struck me too. What about the others involved who might be relying on it? But maybe the author was the team and without them it was dead in the water anyway?
Trusting blindly is not a natural state. We evolved in the ecosystem you see around you. In freak cases, eg. the dodo bird, you can see what happens when blind trust meets competition.
What do you use to design a new piece of software?
I'm currently working on a side-project that, for a change, I'd like to fully structure first before diving into the code.

I know there are specific UI/UX tools, like Framer, Adobe XD and Sketch. There are also specific methodologies for software architecture, like creating ERDs and flowcharts. Same for the server infrastructure and persistent datastorage.

What I'm looking for is one tool that combines all the various domains of a piece of software with varying levels of complexity. So something that gives a full overview that also allows you to 'zoom in' on specific layers for more detail.

Is there any tool out there that provides this level of varied complexity and global overview? Of do you use something that's not made for it but works well?
Thanks for the link and the analysis. Though since I still use Wikipedia for science and math, I will simply write my donation off as a personal loss and self-reminder not to blindly trust guilt-inducing, beseeching banners without doing research.

I don't object to donating and have done so several times but the alarming tone of the recent ads made me donate much higher than my usual amount. Will skip donating for years now to balance the ledger in my mind.
