I’m not trying to argue in bad faith. I think it’s my idea that’s offensive to you, but I’m open to criticism if you think there’s something else.

> But I’m not going to do it from the basis that it’s equivalent to governmental action at the barrel of the gun.

Genuinely, why do you believe it isn’t? I understand that the threat of violence carries its own separate offense, but in terms of ability to suppress ideas, it is equivalent. At an individual level it’s a choice, but at a systems level it’s enforced as surely as at the barrel of a gun, by modulating influence according to conformance.

I’m not defending China, and more broadly I don’t think criticism of the USG is tacit support for China. Whatever happened to principles leading the good guys, instead of the other way around? And true, in China I wouldn’t have the freedom to express these ideas - maybe if they were smarter, they’d find a way to let me feel that freedom while still firmly controlling whether those ideas can spread and shape society.
> Just a few days ago Zuckerberg was discussing banning / suppressing discussion of the Hunter Biden laptop - https://nypost.com/2022/08/25/mark-zuckerberg-criticizes-twi...

The main problem is that you compare the freedom of social media platforms to regulate the content they host, to outright government-controlled censorship of all media. If it was actually the government censoring the topic, you would not have been able to link to a nypost article talking about it, and Trump wouldn't be able to post on his own social media platform.

> Look up the list of topics bannable on YouTube. On Twitter you can’t even call someone by the name their parents gave them if they disagree. In schools near where I live you can get suspended for using proper pronouns, if someone disagrees.

Why are those topics bannable? Could it be that there is some kind of "code of conduct" that makes sure people are respectful to each other? Those people disagreeing are still free to host their own service, if they desperately want to deadname someone.
I always appreciate these languages. This reminds me of another one called Vigil that was also on Hacker News: https://github.com/munificent/vigil.

Similar to how there are some nice ideas in Ok?, Vigil had some some cool capabilities like the `implore` statement - a dynamic value check on function arguments.

After years and years in C# I spent half a year writing Typescript full time.

IMO it's not that Typescript is limited at all, it's just that the type system is different, more complex and also more flexible - there are typically more ways to define types compared to Java/C#, so a lot more decision points trying to write something elegant, or even just idiomatic/understandable, so IMO the learning curve is steep. And then you get to the fun stuff with more abstract type definitions, infer keyword...

It screwed with my head way more than I thought it would. Structural typing was really different, I had to spend a long time rewiring my brain. But when I went back to C#, I felt like the type system was crude. I lost all the nice and easy ways of writing dynamic code and had to revert to defining surplus kludgy interfaces, delegates, etc. And in Typescript I'd finally figured out how to write null-safe code and remove almost all ugly coercions, then back in C# null references were a real possibility.
But human artists have a physical existence, memories of the life they have lived, social interactions and relationships, hopes and dreams for the life they wish to live, personal fears and regrets. A human is not an empty vessel or a pure reflection of a dead corpus of captured data.

They have a story to tell.

I’m not saying that a machine cannot be contrived to fake a story, but even a fake story is just a derivation from a collection of real stories.

What purpose would a machine have in telling a story about a life it never experienced? At best it could pretend.
Um no loops, just `map`? Does it expect us to write algorithms in recursive style?
This may sound pedantic but the cause is so simple it should be obvious: paper doesn't weigh as much. Therefore it's easier to push and so you get more "paper pushers" or "bullshit" jobs.

I guess the crazy part is, fundamentally, I'm being serious. If you need to dig into the ground to get your money, and can't just print more by pressing a button, human nature will make you less profligate.

Do you find that to be crazy? Unreasonable?
Censorship is obviously a bad idea to those of us in developed countries, and disastrous to those of us who have experienced it first hand. But when many consider the opposite, which is the requirement that you fight to defend your enemy’s right to freedom of expression, they find censorship to be preferable.
Step 2 is very unlikely to be possible: It is in the payee's bank's own interest to prevent this from happening as much as possible, since they will ultimately be liable for the lost funds.

Banks and payment service providers generally mitigate this risk by e.g. demanding a security deposit and/or delaying funds availability for new customers.
There is a kids show made in my country called Bluey. It is distributed by Disney in the USA. They censored parts and even entire episodes of the show. Cutting things like fart and poop jokes, talk of vasectomies and discussions of childbirth.
To be clear, this is only for the .NET languages, which frankly is far easier than even regular C/C++ decompiling. Also the same reason why there's at least half a dozen Java decompilers.
I also am quite neurotic about version control, updates etc and if you're prepared to climb up a fairly steep learning curve, I'd recommend Nix/NixOS. It's a much more robust and comprehensive solution than Docker. Docker is not as good a technology as it should be in this use case, and it does stuff like cacheing CMD instructions in the Dockerfile based on their value as a string (rather than the result of the command). This can and does lead to Docker images changing between builds even when the Dockerfile itself has not changed.
It's IRC with voice chat and images inline. It's not meant to store information, just like IRC isn't or other voice chat isn't. It's a chat service, not a forum.
Yup. But you can use crypto or mail cash to Mullvad without your name attached, and then just multihop to them as an endpoint, and it's about as secure as a VPN can be.
>I remember reading his LinkedIn post on this $10k topic. In it, I think he said something along the lines of "soon".

Ok, I can't find his LinkedIn post on $10k ETH anymore. Maybe he deleted.

But I distinctly remember wording around "soon".
I kinda dislike the premise of your question, but https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Code-Leading-Programmers-Pr... has some good candidates. Chapter 1 for example is a regular expression matcher that appeared on HN recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32589311
I'm referencing your comment about 4kids anime censorship. Guns and deaths don't exist in their TV broadcasts but you can still buy/import/sell the original Japanese versions without government interference. You can also watch the original Japanese versions online without government interference. Any censorship that does occur like 7seas is at the discretion of their editors who probably spend too much time on Twitter.

The same cannot be said about China. Official online anime broadcasts are still censored if not outright banned.

There's no point in discussing bootleg and other illegal distribution channels. It's already illegal, why does censorship dodging matter for the distributors?

> Is there such an advantage power wise that this is worth doing?

No

Here's an article from Eric Berger; see the section on drawbacks:
https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/08/european-space-chief...
I never said white house directive, but I said he used his social and political power to effectively ban it from, well, really being talked about in the spotlight. There's truly plenty of articles on the subject, or you can ask anyone in Los Angeles who worked in the industry about the concerted effort of Hollywood executives to avoid that word at the behest of Reagan's administration.

Also, your examples are not particularly illustrative. Reagan did not even publicly mention AIDs until 1985 (though reporters had been asking him about it since 1982), when it first started to become worrisome to straight people (and still created no presidential task force or dedicated funding until 1987). Golden Girls mentioned it after that. So did Trapper John, MD. St. Elsewhere was notable precisely because it was one of the only primetime shows that did when it was exclusively thought of as a "gay disease".

To truly understand how insidious Reagan's administration was, when doctors were ringing the alarm bells in press conferences years prior (and the next, and the next, and the next...) Reagan's response was to ask any reporter if they were gay to a crowd of laughter and move on. In fact, Nancy Reagan even arguably personally condemned movie star Rock Hudson, who was a personal friend of theirs, to an earlier death by explicitly refusing his appeal to have him admitted into a retroviral trial in France because they did want to be associated with the gay community in any way.

It's really not too big of a jump to make the connection between a man who basically started the "moral majority" movement and created virtually all modern film and tv regulation to this day (aside from the MPAA, he also repealed the FCC Fairness Doctrine, which basically is what gave rise to the giant split in media today, and really all major legislation around what can/cannot be shown on TV/in theaters that still persists to this day), would actively use his power to discourage AIDs from being talked about in media, just as he did Communism, anything non-nuclear family, and really anything that fell outside his bubble of conservative values.

This was the man who effectively started the war on Hollywood. He came from Hollywood. He knew the studio execs, the donors, the investors (they funded him!), it wouldn't take much for them to listen to him.
Seriously, what are you talking about? Last I checked Alex Jones has his own show and Trump has his own social network which has been (might still be) #1 in Apple’s App Store. I am confused on how this is censorship?

That said, if a private company like Twitter thinks Alex Jones is a liability because he spreads conspiracy theories of shape shifting lizard people from alternate dimensions sabotaging the Trump Presidency via the deep state because he’s prepping the military and cia to take out the satanic cultists that worship and appease said lizard shapeshifting creatures via the blood of post-coital children, well…
wholeheartedly agree, just it's not "getting better at representing what I thought". Instead, it's a tool of thought process, which is dynamic. These to interwoven in a dynamic relation and it's hard to separate them.

How many amazing GUI libraries and codebases have been discarded over the years?

So much wasted human-centuries of software labor.

I think of things like the PowerBuilder datawindow widget, something that HTML+JS couldn't touch for 15 years until I started to see things like ExtJS and jquery. And it ran on 486s and pentiums.

As for the original question, practically all the superuseful UNIX utils that had to be performant on ancient MHz-class hardware is amazing stuff.
You say that, but what if Apple helpfully adds this feature to iPhones, like they added support for digital driver's licenses, Covid passes, and (almost) client side scanning for illegal material?

For iPhone users who use Face ID, it could cache the result, and send it to sites (signed by a per-device certificate, issued by Apple's CA) in the background, so that most users wouldn't even know this law existed.
> Perhaps I'm not as well-informed on this subject as I thought, because I had done some research months/years ago but I'm not really finding solid information reporting on the dangers as was the case with you.

It wasn't suppressed, it just wasn't amplified.

You're demonstrating exactly why: because you don't care about corruption you just hate the other candidate. And that's the only value of the story, is for you to complain about it.

If there was evidence that Biden Sr. was corrupt his supporters would turn on him.
I got that this was parody, but of what language specifically?

If you’re not careful you’ll summon the ~elders~ people who are convinced that frequency scale is wrong and that there’s a more ideal (to human ears) frequency step for the same 12 note scale. They might even be right, but goodness… prepare yourself for it to get weirder than finding out whether someone really believes it’s legal to be barefoot in all public settings.

1. Mute channels that are not carrying urgent calls
2. Mute at the server level by preference
3. Learn the difference between @everyone (all people subscribed to channel) versus @here (only subscribers marked as online)
4. Limit the servers you subscribe to on each account
5. Where possible, champion the cause of a separate channel for automated notifications (“bots”) versus channels for discussion on the same topic
6. In the same vein separate channels for technical discussion from channels for breeze shooting and fat chewing (these “social” channels are useful for the neurotypical humans in the team, distracting or traumatising for everyone else)

Discord also has a “inbox” summarising new posts since you last checked, along with “mentions” which lists posts mentioning you or any role you have eg @here, @everyone, @sunos_admins, @team_orange_rocket)

There are many tools to help cope with information overload. What I have mentioned here are just the low hanging fruit
Universal health care needs to be funded. If your country elects politicians who underfund health care, then you should expect negative consequences on the system.

Or, you could privatize your healthcare like the US, and pay multiple times more than the amount you've saved on your tax bill.

And, expensive privatized health care does not mean better health outcomes; e.g., the US has worse infant mortality than either New Zealand (a sibling comment) or Canada (or most of Eastern Europe / all of Western Europe).

Not 2, at least 60 days. The reason you are seeing those funds debuted after 2 days is that your bank decides to hold the credit risk after a couple of days.

Wow that's a GREAT feedback. Thank you a lot. Please find my answers below:

1) You are right. I build KTool with privacy in mind and I've thought about this. There is always the option to set it up manually[0][1] but probably it wasn't obvious. I'm open to any UX suggestion here.

I should mention that the KTool extension doesn't require any special permission, unlike Instapaper which asking to access your webpages _all the time_[2]. KTool cannot access the web pages you visit until you click on the extension icon and perform an action.

2) Yeah and the instructions for the iOS extension is not even clear. I developed it for some of my paying customers and haven't paid much attention yet. Thanks for the feedback.

PS: don't listen to the Internet. The new Web Extension is not better than building a Share Extension.

3) Great idea. Will implement that next.

4) There is always the monthly subscription option[2] and this UI/UX is pretty common among SaaS. I'm not sure how can I make it more obvious. Again, any UX suggestion is welcome.

Dear California legislators, please try to encode the above privacy ideal into law instead of the opposite.
Combine stocks with options.

* Buy x quantity of $STOCK.

* Buy PUT options on the underlying x quantity of $STOCK (treat this as the insurance; you can choose to either pay a premium over the purchase price or a discount over the purchase price).

* Sell CALL options on the underlying x quantity of $STOCK (treat this as rent on your asset).

If the $STOCK loses in value, exercise your PUTs to protect value of invested capital.
If the $STOCK gains in value, chances are the buyer of the CALL options you sold exercises their option. You still make a profit (although lower than selling at market rate which is higher than the CALL option exercise price). But you get cash (with profits) which you can then roll over into your next $STOCK + CALL + PUT transaction.

The strategy works regardless of market sentiment.

It is, but assuming that GP is from Europe, the confusion will be around the distinction between bill payment and P2P payments, which seems arbitrary to bank customers in many other countries:

With SEPA credit transfer (and other similar systems), bank customers can send mony to any other account directly and automatically by only stating the recipient's account number and amount. There is no list of well-known/trusted(?) payees; businesses and individuals can receive money from other businesses and individuals alike.

In the US, for reasons that I don't fully understand yet, this type of P2P push ACH payment is generally only offered between accounts that have been verified to belong to the same person. I suspect that it's largely a question of money transmission licenses, the recipient's unwillingness to freely hand over their account number (due to concerns about unauthorized ACH pulls!) and/or fraud liability.

It really depends on what tea and how you use it. Steeping the same tea for 1 minute or 3 minutes will result in a vastly different amount of caffiene in the cup. And then it depends on how much tea you use in the first place, so giving tea a "mg per cup" measurement isn't very repeatable. Coffee is much more standardised on how much you use and how long it is brewed for.

My breakfast tea consists of 3 teaspoons of loose Assam, 2 teaspoons of brown sugar, left to steep for around 5 minutes until it starts to become bitter, then topped with a generous serving of cold milk. I believe the official description would be a 'proper builder's brew'.

The caffiene in that is going to be completely different to an Earl Grey you have after work to chill out. I can't stand the taste of bergamot when it's left to steep, so I usually only let it sit for 30 seconds.
Perhaps it's been mentioned before but I do find it curious how often crypto mining was lambasted for contributing to climate change get I haven't seen anybody bat an eye at a fairly similar amount of compute power used for ML applications. Makes me wonder.

Ask HN: How have you gotten more paying customers?
What has and hasn't worked for you to acquire more paying customers?

Did you advertise more? Focus on a specific targeted audience or a particular platform?

Did you try to get more users in general to visit your site? Did you try to optimize things with analytics? A/B testing?

Referral incentives?

Did you hire someone or a firm?

Did you just try to make your product better? Or improve you brand?

Do you keep track of all this stuff, and if you do how?
Well, heating/cooling aren't essentials in many places. You could subsidize the cost of running a fridge and appliances but stop short of climate control. Alternatively, in places that are now reaching 50+ degrees celsius with high humidity at times, maybe subsidizing climate control is desirable to save lives?
