IDK if I'd call that an "omission." There was a political system, and Hitler came to power within it. France still has a political norm of banding together to defeat populist far right parties, and an electoral system that lends to it.

The fact remains that Fascism, Hitler, and Nazism was popular and that was key to achieving power . This is essay is about that. Why, despite promising burdens and hardship, was Fascism popular. It just isn't about electoral tactics, negative politics or such. I'm sure he would have conceded the point that any given elections could have been determined by such tactics.

I agree with Orwell. The tactical-electoral subject isn't really that interesting, even if it is/was consequential. The point about promising voters burdens, hardship, & "military virtues" is interesting.

For example, I think this gives us clues about Russian communism's decline (also in the West, ideologically) after Stalin.

^Also I doubt Orwell was against "popular front politics." (a) I've read a lot of Orwell and can't recall any statement that suggests this and (b) Orwell himself volunteered in a communist militia against fascism. He himself was a socialist. If you're willing to join a communist militia to fight fascism, surely you'd be OK with joined ticket.

Podcasts will make you not interacting with people, but listening to podcasts. Talking to people, especially strangers is what you need.

I have read a whitepaper which tells that most of 25+ y.o. people probably will never make new friends anymore. So I use to talk to random people in random situations as often as possible without annoying them. My rule of thumb is to get disappeared as fast as a discussion became even slightly boring for me or for them.

I see a lot of these disposable e-cigarettes here in England. Usually discarded around big parks in the centre. I did consider picking them up to reuse before.
I agree. You need to pay for the hosting and continued security support, and they're usually not priced unreasonably.

Yeah, I have an Amazon Prime subscription and a VPS for a personal blog, but that's it. I figure most people have like Prime and Netflix, or Disney+ and Spotify. Not all of the above, plus weather app subscriptions, and dozens of other things.

But looking at some of these comments, we appear to be the odd ones out.

Two decent use cases are out-of-region TV and hiding your unencrypted traffic (URLs) from your ISP (as you say you don’t hide it from your VPN provider, but they don’t know your address). Also sites you visit don’t get your location.

Personally, given the kinds of friends I have, a VPN hides my traffic from them when I’m on their WiFi. But I don’t need a commercial VPN for this.
Wouldn't it just be easier to 'not use facebook'?
Ask HN: Ethical issues marking email as spam?
I recently got an email from an "experience management company", on behalf of a local plumber whom I had recently hired, asking me to rate them from 0 to 10. After I deleted it, I later got a "reminder".

I find these surveys annoying, and I never gave the plumber permission to give my email address to third parties. If they want my opinion, I would be happy to actually talk to an employee of the plumbing company. My impression is that outsourcing this kind of thing correlates with poor service, and indeed I was unhappy with the plumber.

If I understand correctly, marking these messages as spam in Gmail might cause difficulties for the sender (i.e. the survey company, not the plumber), leading to more of their messages to others being routed to spam. I view this as a positive outcome. However, I know that HN readers have been on the other side of this story.

Should I think twice before hitting the "spam" button?

Netflix seems to be perfectly happy beating the corpse of House of Cards, Stranger Things, and Ozark for content. There's just a difference between popular and popular on the internet. Sense8 as an example was decidedly the latter.
A treaty limited them to 20 ICMB’s on each of 14 subs down from 24. Each ICMB can hold 12 independently targeting 100kt warheads or 8 larger 0.45 MT nukes.

I work in the USA at a fully remote agency, and my company has a small offshore team of 3 Ukrainian developers. Are we being discriminatory because all our offshore devs are in Ukraine, when we could have hired anyone globally?

I don't think so. We originally looked at a global pool of applicants for the first hire, and the guy we chose just happened to be Ukrainian. He ended up being great, and when we wanted to scale up and make another hire he referred two people he knew from his local community, who we also were impressed with and hired. Since they are all in the same area they get together and collaborate on issues (and on english translations) and so they become an even more productive team that we love working with.

Despite being really smart and technically capable you can tell that using English is a bit of a burden, so being able to use their native language when breaking out into groups together I think helps.
Do you have any example(s) of cases where those were enforced since you claim they are enforcable in some places?
There also exists the fear of success, which is much less talked about. Equally dangerous to destabilizing a perfectionist identity. And social mobility comes with its own risks. If you suddenly make it big, are you at all prepared to handle that? You may have worked hard to succeed, but then what? Became a millionaire overnight? Prepare to get robbed, conned, or just plain go mad with analysis paralysis.
There is an appendix in CA that is required to be included in employment contracts (and applies even if they exclude it) that states an exception. Any work done by the employee cannot be claimed unless it:

1) Is done on work time, or
2) on work property (the office), or
3) using work equipment (an employer-provided laptop, for example, or their IP)

This provision is a bedrock for why startups became such a huge thing in CA: people could work on side projects that turned into startups and not worry about ownership by their employer.
> My current subscription tally came to $1,500 ($1,520 to be exact) per year

Maybe I'm the crazy one, but how is this a lot? First, almost all of the apps are used by multiple people (Apple One Premier, the VPN, MLB, NHL, etc.). Second, let's assume a family of four with a US average salary of $55k for both parents. We end up with a household income of $110k, so the subscriptions are 1.3% of gross income. This is barely a blip on your financial radar.

If your household income is $200k or above (which, let's face it, most HNers probably do earn), worrying about these subscriptions (which in this case would be <0.6% of your gross income) would literally not even be worth thinking about.

I know HN has a thing for penny pinching, but if you're trying to build wealth, this ain't it.
Funny, it's my only subscription. Wife is gonna buy loads from them anyway, and this way I also get some digital content (which happens to be more than I can watch)

How do you feel it could reduce the spam component?
> Their lifestyles aren't free.

It's not about how they spend money, it's about how they "make" money. It's about their passive income.

The economy is a machine that squeezes workers: it pays as little as possible while extracting as much value as possible. The juice that results from the squeeze then gets distributed according to who owns the financial assets. One person's passive income is another person's obligation to pay up while receiving no actual work in return. The true excess of the rich is the juice from the squeeze -- getting paid for being rich -- not in the particulars of how they spend it.

-----------

Ok, so that framing was hyper aggressive, more than I think is fair, because there is another side to this story: as a consumer, you get to put the squeeze on producers and make them compete, investment carries risk, consumer excess exists too, etc etc. You know the story, you've heard it a hundred times before. However, I'd wager you have heard the "how capitalism works for you" side at least 10x as often as the "how capitalism works against you" side, which should be suspicious, because both are true and both are highly relevant to your life. Also, if you felt that the paragraph above was hyper aggressive, you should also feel that the traditional narrative is hyper aggressive, because they are mirror copies of each other.

This hints at the real issue which is that our policies and culture have been hijacked to aggressively favor capital at every turn. The inevitable result is "the wedge" graph, US economy expands 5x while 80% of people see a regression in wealth. The rising tide does not float all boats. Actually, it sinks most of them. Even the meager promises of the "rising tide" social contract have been broken. It's time to push back.

I think you have the power situation backwards.

Analog still has not left power supplies. The dynamics are just too fast for low-power digital. So the solution for a long time has been mixed analog and digital.

At higher power, there's usually a hierarchical control scheme with an all-digital supervisor at the top. Analog isn't required at that level because the dynamics are slower, and digital has the extra benefit of more control options that analog can't do.

As the dynamics get faster, there's an even greater need for analog. You start needing increasingly expensive op amps. But op amps trade speed for convenience. So the fix is even more analog, but the integrated type. At that point, you might as well throw in more digital features.

Which is why I think we'll just see even more mixed-signal options at the lowest levels. Different ways of leveraging analog speed and low power under an increasingly sophisticated digital manager.

I wouldn't put Disney+, Netflix and the other streaming service in the "software" bucket. I'd rather pirate than paying for these, but if people are paying these to get rid of Cable, I'd say it's more than justifiable.

But what really drives me crazy is that if you asked people "Can you look at the actual software you are paying and take 20% to donate to developers of open source alternatives?", they would find all types of excuses.

Wonder how much Twitter stock Musk is buying now, while the price is low.

That'd be a fun one: he gets ordered to buy the stock at some price between current and original agreement, and already owns more than half of it. Would he then have to go back and pay extra for the stock bought in the interim?

The chance of Musk owning Twitter was the end of the world to a lot of people just a few months ago; I don't hear many of them voicing their relief that the deal might not go through now.
It's not about about being able to prevent an infinite loop. It's about being able to say this program really doesn't panic. Which is a very important property. For example the Linux Kernel requires Rust code to not panic. There was a lot of work done to ensure this was at all possible. And it wasn't to try and statically assert whether a piece of code panics. It was just disallow panics outright. Do you think these compiler developers just took that route because it's fun? Or because they are "oddly fixated on the halting problem"?
But ctrl+pgdn already goes to next tab, so ctrl+tab doesn't need to do that same thing, MRU is what multi-document programs (like text editors with multiple open files, IDE's) usually do for ctrl+tab. And this for good reason: this allows to cycle through the most recent documents the easiest, following usage patterns. This usage pattern also applies to browsers (and as said, ctrl+pgup/pgdn already do prev/next tab for the other usage pattern)

finding back your tab amongst the many open ones is a nightmare without some form of easily accessed recently used list that also works across windows
Java is great, I think many wrinkles need some active deprecation. Its interesting that the blog likes the extensive standard libraries, but Java is littered with old APIs and language features that aren't used or liked any more. Newer languages avoid having these old warts, its only matter of time though.

> I’m sometimes compelled to do something I don’t want to do.

In my experience there are some different forms of "don't want to do". One kind operates at the subconscious level and seems to be to do with whether my brain perceives the thing as fitting in with some logical plan, or being consistent with reality as perceived. For example, "write tests" seems like a reasonable task. However if the kind of test requested seems like it isn't really doing much of anything to assure correct operation of the system, I'd feel resistance to complete that task. otoh if these were what I believe to be solid useful tests, I'd code away with enthusiasm. Basically, if asked to do some crazy s*t, I tend to procrastinate much more than if I'm asked to do something legit.

I also do watch a lot of tv shows and movies for the last 15/20 years (also stuff besides mainstream) and there are pretty good tv shows on netflix. Stranger Things, The Umbrella Academy, Better Call Saul, Russian Doll, Love Death and Robots (the last season was weirder than usual though), Space force (super quirky, love it!), The Witcher, Arcane, Superstore, Squid Game
> But what about the washing machine we have to buy again after X years? The iPhone we have to buy again after X years or any other product we use? Basically all subscriptions in disguise.

The big difference here for me is that you own those, so you have equity in them. You bought a washing machine? You can sell it 3 years later, or purchase one used to begin with.
Trilium Notes: note taking application for large personal knowledge bases
Price of goods is set by what the market will bear. If demand is higher than supply, prices will rise. This is the situation we have today. Inflation caused by supply chain disruptions and increased demand.

The only way that prices will fall is if demand wanes, or supply increases.

No one said people starving is great for the economy. It’s a statement of fact that inflation will not abate unless demand falls or supply increases. It’s pretty hard to increase supply right now.
Regrettably, I have family members with whom I really must stay in touch, but who think that FB is the internet. No matter what I've said, what I've shown them, and what I've encouraged them to do, there is nothing to replace it.

Nothing. So I'm forced to stay on FB.

Same for us, with a “family” account. The teens didn’t care about switching from Spotify to apple and this way I know all their stuff is backed up. iCloud…can’t say it’s as good as Dropbox but in the bundle it’s cheaper than paying for Dropbox. Etc.

An unexpected feature is their News app. I pay for some subs to read news in my RSS app, but sometimes i come across a paywalled article that is free with the bundled apple news sub, so I read it there. I wouldn’t pay for that benefit but when the marginal cost is $0 I’m glad it’s there.

It’s a good deal for this use case. I’d actually think there are a lot of people in that category.
I cannot tell if this is a joke.
Many commenters confused here by different contracts in tech that say differently.

In California, there is an appendix that is required to be included in employment contracts (and applies even if they exclude it) that states an exception. Any work done by the employee cannot be claimed unless it:

1) Is done on work time, or

2) on work property (the office), or

3) using work equipment (an employer-provided laptop, for example, or their IP)

This provision is a bedrock for why startups became such a huge thing in CA: people could work on side projects that turned into startups and not worry about ownership by their employer.

Tech companies will often include this provision throughout their work force, even if you don't work in CA or another state that has a similar provision.

TLDR: If you're in CA, your work on your own time/equipment/home is yours, no matter what your employer says.

Edit: some friends of mine have worked at companies where you need to get "approved" to do side projects. They can fire you for doing side work without permission, but point still stands that they can't claim it unless you touched the work during work hours, or with a work laptop, or used their IP.
The point being made (as I understand it) is that given that it is true (if you believe the national statistical authorities of the relevant western countries) that young white men are often substantially better off than young men of colour (even when controlling for all non-ethnicity relating factors), it is perhaps unexpected that the suicide rates for those groups would be higher. Adopting the principle of charity, I think we can assume that the original poster does not mean to in any way minimise the plight of desperate people who are suffering from mental health conditions. Instead, I think it is an interesting question as to why suicide rates are so much higher (and at least in the UK this is not an exaggeration - see e.g. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsde...) than those of groups whose material circumstances are worse.

p.s. I am aware that suicide is not a function solely of material circumstance (and material circumstance relative to other people's)
