No, you won't profit from it. The people who profit are the member banks. Federal Reserve is an organization made up of member banks. Those banks make money off of interest and investments. The losses are distributed among the masses through dilution of our currency through the necessary expansion of it to absorb the losses.

No amount of annual profit returned to the Treasury has ever outweighed the negative effect of Fed induced business cycles and bailouts.
No need to attribute it to malice. Just community members following community guidelines to keep comments relevant, thoughtful, and substantive. Most of the low hanging “jokes” don’t really adhere to that ethos and are typically treated accordingly.
This isn't terribly surprising since one of the first things a cancerous tumor does (often) is create an "cold" immune environment to evade detection by the hosts immune system. This is why certain infections can actually kill a tumor: no immune system to kill the new pathogen and it ends up destroying the cancerous cells.
We always had the goodies, developed by the open source community. GIMP is easier to my hand than Photoshop in a lot of uses. The encroaching of the subscription model into Linux is not something acceptable to me though.
In Canada the government denied Employment Insurance to people that did not get vaxxed. And this is workers own money garnished and set aside for times when they are Unemployed.

Don't get why anyone would want to become a slave to the state, and even more subject to political whims and ideological goals.

I think it comes from the misplaced sense that if you have an office job your sentiments should run the world and myopic burocracy is why things work. Neglecting all the farmers, and actual people that do the hard work, entrepreneurs that build the wealth government skims off.

I would be far more supportive of a government distribution of an allotment garden, and a right to build a small cottage on it.
Far more liberting to the poor.
They were already poorer than their parents when it comes to basics like home ownership or being able to afford children when we did nothing. Is the correct approach just to accept serfdom?
One of the saddest fallout of the Russian Ukraine war is that people like Modi get an upper hand and become more powerful by treading water between US and Russia.

I don't have a problem with BJP but Modi brand of hatred is unprecedented. Trump is similar but Trump knows his stuff and is a businessman while Modi left primary school and has been a religious vagabond all his life.
His perspectives and mentally are restricted to what he has seen in his life which is almost nothing.

I tried to upload my own face but I could not figure out how to upload a mask? Or does it need to match the existing mask?
Also the `<nobr>` around Kim Jong-uns name. Presumably because it would be offensive to not have it all on the same line.
Because their primary goal is to provide goods and services to their shareholders, rather than profits and dividends.
Just sharing only a few examples on top of my mind. This is a pretty much everyday story in India.

- Bilkis Bano case: Bilkis a muslim woman, who was 5 months pregnant, was gangraped and her three-year-old daughter was among 14 killed by a hindu mob on March 3, 2002 in Gujarat. 11 Hindu persons were convicted and jailed. In 2022 court/government set all of them free. [1]

- In 2018 police arrested a 84-year-old activist Stan Swamy. Stan was a Jesuit priest with Parkinson’s disease. At a hearing in May, he begged judges to grant him bail so he could return home for what might be his last days. After spending nearly eight months in jail, he was sent to a hospital in poor health in late May. He was placed on a ventilator and then died in custody. Later it was found that the evidence that prompted his arrest were fake and were planted on his laptop by police/hackers. [2] [3]

- Mohammed Zubair, a muslim and co-founder of a prominent fact checking website in India (AltNews) was arrested for allegedly hurting religious sentiments. No action has been taken when many Hindu leaders have given hate speeches on video. [4][5]

- On 14 September 2020, a 19-year-old Dalit woman was gang-raped in Hathras district, Uttar Pradesh, India, by four upper caste men. She died two weeks later. Her body was forcefully cremated in the midnight by police. [6] Sidheeq Kappan a muslim journalist was arrested while on his way to to report on the story and he spent more than 2 years in jail. [7]

It's a bit more complicated than that.

Half of Novorossiya (New Russia) was taken from Turkey and Crimean Khanate by Russian soldiers and later that almost unpopulated land was settled by many ethnicities, but mostly by Ukrainians and Russians. [0]

When Russian Empire collapsed in 1917 this territory became Ukrainian on the basis of predominantly Ukrainian population even though the city population was mostly Russian and Jewish. [1]

Another benefit of UBI over paying only those below the poverty line is that you aren't de-incentivized from trying to make more money at any point.

A benefit that had an anticipated end date of within a year is, as the previous poster stated, too volatile. It was treated as a temporary windfall instead of a new reality that could be relied on and planned around
Cool project, is there a theme feature?
How much money do you think people got? Most people got around $2k over a two years. How is $1k/yr enough to quit a job and “fart around” with the money?
I did the opposite, grew up rural, moved to the city. I highly recommend the suburbs/exurbs near a major metro. You need enough land you don't have to hear your neighbors after dark, but close enough to the city you can get an Uber to the airport. I'd love to have some rural land and a house, but I wouldn't live their year-round and give up gigabit Internet and decent restaurants.
yes, exactly, except with facebook. if all my friends and family are on facebook and not elsewhere, then it's not possible to avoid it.
You're proving GP's point. The EU's legislation left a doorway open so websites could bully users in to continuing letting them harvest their data. If the EU had gone after browsers instead of individual websites, this wouldn't still be an issue.
Appreciate the insight!

It's almost like it wouldn't be feasible in isolation. One would first have to remove all the gatekeepers who control the absolute basic necessities like food, shelter and healthcare first. Otherwise the general population will just be extorted out of their basic income.

I did not really care back then, even happy as a teenager that I was able to use a root exploit to get root on our high school's computers. It's something that you become curious about in your 20s

>Amazon ads
It was literally just an Unity bar icon and search results.

>Unity

Was awesome. Definitely not as good as GNOME 2 with the Human murrine theme but the keyboard shortcuts and the search made it a pleasure to work with

>But an ad for a pro service in the motd does it?

It's not just that. These things creep up slowly, companies start testing waters and then things progress. Look at Windows, soon you will have to pay a subscription to use it, you will own nothing.
Yes, just like I have a freedom of choice to sit down on my couch everyday to eat pizza, nachos and drink Coke or take the much harder route of walking over to ny home gym after work and run on my treadmill, climb my elliptical and lift weights.

There are plenty of people who use Linux as a daily driver, don’t use Facebook Messenger, and order from other places besides Amazon
Good idea, I'll look into it
Exactly. There was no need to edit.
Google's actual fix was to install a service that detects if keystrokes are being made too quickly for a human (by default, I believe it's 5 keystrokes per 50 milliseconds), and if so, eject the USB device: https://github.com/google/ukip
From what I briefly remember, they aren’t jammers. They’re more akin to a DoS to the access point (I think it has something to do with spamming auth requests?) than jamming any physical signals.

In an ideal world low earners would spend UBI money and it would circulate in the local/state/national economy in the right proportions. In reality our capitalist system has near-perfected the art of upward movement of money. We saw this happen during COVID, and there's no reason large scale UBI would be any different.
History has had various methods of trying to curtail the unbelievable greed of landlords, how effective they are is subjective in many ways.
Never let a UBI promoter escape the question of who is willingly paying for it.

It's not to say we shouldn't help those in need.

It's not to say as a society we're perfect right now.

It's to say that all of the taxpayer funded UBI proposals are morally wrong, and don't work anyway. You can't legislate charity.
I don’t think society made Elon Musk a billionaire. The govt certainly encouraged him and provided him with support because they thought uplifting him and his companies would ultimately uplift American society. This was delivered by subsidies and loans and grants ..but mostly by opening doors. Sometimes by turning the other way and a blind eye.

Society can’t create billionaires. The total number of Teslas doesn’t even come close to its valuation which has contributed to his billionaire status. They bet on him (using our tax dollars) and on his future contributions. Turns out it was a bad bet.
I mean… Stop and Shop is literally two blocks from where Russo’s was [1] so I’m not sure what relevance Harvest or Market Basket bring to this conversation. (Edit: I’m not trying to be dismissive, but it’s not really clear why these other stores are relevant. Are you suggesting that perhaps labor is being treated better than at the big chains?)

Russo’s was definitely a high-end, premium prices place: Fancy imported cheeses, a large bakery, fresh-made pasta, and a large selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. I have no idea if the workers were paid better or treated better than anywhere else.

A co-op feels like a different beast altogether, so I’m not sure that the patrons of Russo’s will suddenly just move to shopping there en masse, especially since the market for groceries around here is well served. It really feels like the coop would mostly not be about the food.

Well, of course. What the hell do you need JavaScript for?!?! :P
No, a popup or banner would be for requiring consent. A non-consent explanation can be in the privacy policy, or on a dedicated page that is linked in the page's footer or something.

Also, "should" be explained; I don't believe it's a violation of the law to not do so.
We’d have to allow for some definition creep, effectively freeze healthcare innovation, or let the basic level of healthcare fall to below basic after years of improvements and new drugs

For two, they may want to establish a parliamentary republic to safely avoid the fate of those from which the Saudi family's ancestors originally usurped executive power. Currently, there is only one method of establishing a new government in what is only tenuously Saudi Arabia, which is using the old ways of sneaking into the palace at night with jambiyas and assassinating everyone. My suspicion is that this inevitable coup will be composed entirely of women.
>Then landlords will increase the rent by 800~900 bucks.

Landlords don't set rents, they are price takers. Now if everyone gets more money and wants to live closer to work, then yes, prices will go up to meet increased demand.
It seems to me that solution most likely to succeed would be a middle ground approach. A negative income tax. It isn't universal, but massively simplifies the welfare system.

Basically you choose a dollar amount and a percentage. For simplicity I will choose $50,000 and 50%.

- If you make $50,000 you don't owe taxes and you don't get welfare.

- If you make over $50,000 you get taxed on any money you made over $50,000.

- If you make under $50,000 then you do the following equation $50,000 - however much you earned and multiple it by the percentage. If you made $0 you would get $25,000 in welfare. If you made $20,000 you would get $15,000 in welfare.

The way this is set up would prevent wealthy people from getting benefits, it ensures that if you make money that year you will make more than somebody who only gets welfare, and it massively simplifies the welfare system. It also allows you to play with the numbers easily to adjust for cost of living. If Area X is 10% more expensive than Area Y just change the dollar amount and/or the percentage.
He is human alright. Painfully so.
org-mode is more a program than a language. how would you implement org-capture or org-agenda through lsp?
I love the FF profiler. However I can't use it when the entire browser is hanging. I would need to run an external profiler on the browser itself. I will file a ticket as soon as I have any useful info... but when it's an intermittent 30-second freeze on all browser windows, it's tough to get any data on it.
They are indexing since 2014? Why have i never heard of them? And why are they not more popular? what is the catch?
Then why in every case did they need to portray locals as barbarians when they knew the opposite was true?
That's a funny take, conservatives stubling with digital technology in 2022, though it looks like the lack of company management did them in. They had big dreams and a drunk CEO spiking his Red Bull with alcohol, screaming at investors for more money for even bigger dreams. All that with the name GloriFi, which sounds weirdly sexual and network-related at the same time. They should've sold toys for men with that name.
Why are they "morally wrong"? Why can't we "legislate charity"? We already have means-tested taxpayer-funded programs that help the needy such as SNAP/TANF/EITC which fall under "legislated charity".

Every aircraft is a compromise, some more or less than others.

But those that never get into production often have less compromise in some areas, and that is probably a large factor in why they become cult planes.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I really appreciate it!

And thanks for letting me know about the go back button. It should "rewind"/show you the last disliked/skipped track assuming at least one track has been disliked/skip.

Can you please let me know what browser you are using and if you are coming in on mobile/web. I will take a look and see what the issue could be.

Happy discovering! :)
When you say going decades back do you possibly mean back to the 80s when welfare queen became the boogeyman of the day and welfare projects were hobbled and slashed? Or do you mean back to the New Deal era where millions were brought of poverty with government work programs?
He's clearly using a Quest (he mentioned Horizon Worlds). I've tried VR Chat on Oculus Quest. It's usable, but only barely.

I often joined rooms that would cause VR Chat to crash on the Quest and if I stuck to the default rooms VR Chat recommends, I've mostly just get accosted by children (they sound like they're 10 years old at the oldest) or assholes "Hey, I'm talking to you, why didn't you answer me right away (I'm in a menu). I'm going to kill you!" (and other nasty things until I just left the room)... as one example that happened to me.

I personally would rather stick with Horizon Worlds (as boring and sterile as it is) than deal with that garbage. The people there have been older and more pleasant, on average (but it's also mostly empty, that might change if it actually became popular).

I hear on PC VR Chat is quite nice, though. In particular the raves look like a lot of fun, judging by the documentaries on Youtube. I haven't been able to access those places from the Quest (or at least, not easily or without crashing).
I am the developer of HACK, an iOS, android, MacOS client app which provides push notifications for HN when someone replies to your comment or post.
I think all bcrypt implementations implement salting per default. Same for any modern password hashing implementation.
I want to warn you that creating a pitch deck will not guarantee anything. It will take a lot of time and effort, and people will tell you a million times to change the deck. Add slides, delete slides, make that slide purple, should be hockeystick revenues, ah no, maybe not, scrap that, where is your financial model? market too big, too small, to salty, whatever.

Investors have a million ways to tell you NO. And a pitch deck won't change anything. If they don't like the idea or they think it's not big enough (even if they are totally wrong or clueless), you won't get funded. If you don't have the right connections that can bring the stamp of approval or other social signals investors are looking for, you are going to have a hard time. If the idea is not something that is HOT RIGHT NOW, you probably won't get funded.

I'm pretty fed up with reading advice on HN that you just need a good deck and can raise money purely on that deck. Sorry if this comes over as abrasive. I've been there and want to give you the raw story so you can make the right decisions. We never got funded despite having a lot going for us. We wasted valuable time and money on models, decks and what not.
In some ways we already are and have been for a great long while. Starting with the industrial revolution.
This was last year. I'd be surprised if it got much better in 12+ months.
The Deadly History of the St. Lawrence Seaway
Modern tools are good, but the culture around it is pretty toxic, and in my own opinion, cringy. 10 years ago you would get booed for saying things like "Unused RAM is wasted ram, so let's build this in Electron". I am happy to see a pushback.
Pre-covid I had come around on UBI. But I have since soured on it again now that we had a reminder that inflation is real.

In my mind, it doesn't seem like taxing the rich is a functional payment method for the same reason trickle-down economics don't work. Years of tax cuts did nothing to move the needle on consumer demands - if you give every millionaire $1000 they don't suddenly buy more milk.

In comparison, when every American was written a big stimulus check, we did see consumer prices respond across the board. By about as much as the entire cost of the stimulus! People did go out and buy more milk! I tend now to believe that consumer prices are set by the amount of cash the median American has.

I am worried that something like a $1000 UBI would basically raise all consumer prices by $1000. And we would still have to pay for it.

I would much rather return to a pursuit of a Negative Income Tax which has nearly all the same benefits but would be much cheaper and have fewer unintended repercussions.
Do you _really_ believe your tax funds are actually feeding people? They're being wasted and wrought with fraud, and believing anything else is a fantasy. There are poorly run charities that are far more efficient than those programs.
I think that's what they are saying, bcrypt is secure because it uses a salt and multiple rounds of hashing.
>> What's randomness in a coin toss? If we had all the information we could perfectly predict the result of a toss. But if we know nothing then at most we can say is that both outcomes are equally probable.

Perhaps I'm being dense or overall don't understand, but how is this possible? What is "all the information"? Isn't it at most likely they the outcome is 50/50?

Citation needed. You read too much reddit.
The article says "conservative support for UBI rests on an approach that would increase poverty, rather than reduce it", so maybe the problem is the conservative approach and not UBI?

Yes! IIRC, RDP was originally based on simply sending over the GDI calls -- the Windows draw instructions -- directly.

I've been told it moved away from that as networks got faster, interfaces became more GPU-accelerated, and video encoding became hardware-accelerated, so that now it's not much different from VNC. But I don't know when or to what extent, or if RDP still uses any draw instructions at all.
I'm sorry about that, that seems to be a flaw with their 'Checkout with Paypal' process. Hopefully it all gets resolved for you quickly.

I was able to figure out it's in the Boston area by the 617 area code and the name, but after spending 5 minutes looking for its actual location, I still can't find it. It doesn't seem to be on the website, and it's not on Google Maps either.

Does anyone know where this is actually located?
TL;DR: Firefox switched to an undocumented kernel lock function and flags.

Which is, of course, a pretty bad thing, and an especially stupid thing to recommend, even with caveats! I expected a whole bunch of warning signs and even a "haha only kidding", but no, the author seems pretty gung-ho about this approach.

Apple is very happy to change and deprecate such things with no announcement. I don't know that anybody who'd follow such advice would also be careful enough to implement regression testing, and how reliable such testing can be!

Perhaps they can help pressure Apple to make such a useful lock function official.
Where do you get that number from?
