There's a really concerning trend on HN and elsewhere I'm seeing. Everyone now seems to think free speech is too dangerous to try and promote anymore. It's been a shift over a couple years.

I'm not supporting Ye or any of his bullshit, but some of the comments on here are really chillingly authoritarian.

Parler isn't going to be able to maintain "free speech" even if they or Kanye want it to, which I seriously doubt anyway. They don't "have it now" and they won't have it tomorrow either. Still, it's strange how HN flips so violently against free speech when the content is obviously offensive and low quality.

People need to be better stewards of their own beliefs, not simply shielded from malicious, dim or unsavory ones out there in public.

As an aside, I can't believe celebrities have the sway they do. Today's breed talks like such imbeciles; I have no idea how they keep people's interest.
The rules around home offices are very strict — it has to be a physical space that is used exclusively for work purposes. Even if it's a guest bedroom that is used mostly for work, but also occasional guests, then it doesn't qualify. That doesn't mean you'd necessarily get caught, but it does mean that it is not allowed.

And if you tried to claim your entire residence, that would definitely not fly, and would be much more likely to be found out by tax authorities.
Stars Sound a Warning When They Are About to Go Supernova
I think 3d TV should have been a warning.
Too late to edit my original comment, but I'm surprised not to see more discussion about "right to be forgotten." It's legally mandated for some types of data in some jurisdictions, and it's hard to implement in a schema that has evolved without it. It doesn't affect the company I work at now, so I haven't had to think much about it, and I was hoping to hear from people who have.
Simpler explanation – salaries of VC-backed founders have to be approved by the board, which consists of these same VCs. Bootstrapped founders can pay themselves whatever they want.

To me, this kind of 'magic' is definitely a double-edged sword. For the people that are familiar with the framework, I assume it makes it much nicer to write code and to reason over it (at the above-framework level), since there's no boilerplate to write or understand.

But as someone who often has to jump into unknown codebases and get up-to-speed quickly, I've certainly been confused by framework magic before, which makes it almost impossible to reason 'up' from the concrete implementation of e.g. a request handler. Since the keywords to grep for aren't explicitly mentioned in the handler anywhere and the 'dispatch' side of things is hidden under mountains of abstraction, you usually have to resort to tutorials to understand what the hell is going on, and even then the codebase might use some extra-magical properties of the framework that aren't clear to anyone that isn't at home within it.

So it could be argued that this magic saves you code in exchange for a need for more documentation, at which point you might just be better off being more explicit in your code -- at least explicit enough so things remain greppable.
ublock origin can do this.
agree, because bitcoin / silk road and tor all popped up at the more or less the same time. and they all need each other as a boot strap.

Also - Satoshi - who? no one knows, really?
Dread Pirate Roberts, name insinuates that the role (of site administrator) was handed over to him. There has been speculation that he was not the creator of the site.
Tor - created by the Navy.

Why? - Black money / create an "open source", super duper encrypted method of communicating that cannot be broken (unless you control 70% of the exit nodes, whoopsies), get people invested in using it. How many of the dealers that supplied on silkroad where "free-lance" and scooped up later (along with their product and cash)
We definitely don't need to change wardrobes entirely 2x per year, at great cost in externalities such as pollution from all the shipping. I'm sure you understood that this is the point.
The argument here is not that Kanye should be "mental illness free". Rather it's supposed that people around him exploit his vulnerability.
Additional potential questions: Does your spouse or coparent have an income? Do you have a mortgage and what is the monthly amount? Do you support an elderly parent?
It is my understanding that tax law does not prevent a business from providing whatever compensation they want to- but certain compensation is taxable to the recipient as income. So if a business pays $10,000 per month for the founder/ceo/whatever's rent, that is still an expense to the business. But, the recipient has to pay tax on that 10,000 as if it were income. At least on whatever portion of it is not devoted to the business (If the apartment has an office in it that is used exclusively for the business, the cost of the office square footage is deductible).

So as long as the benefit is reported on the founders taxes and taxes are paid, it would not be tax fraud.
Forget learning calculus, now you need to win math competitions, too. You need a GitHub repository and know Python well. It's like you got one half of society that cannot do arithmetic, and then the top 5% who are competitive and pulling way ahead. It shows how important possibly innate factors are. No matter how hard educators try to instill algebra, a certain, largely fixed percentage will never get it.
The arrangement of Puerto Rico being a territory was a strategic decision. PR independence has a long history, but ultimately the economic and military benefits of being US citizens ended up outweighing the desire for independence. Being a self governing territory won out as being a sort of best of both worlds.
No one is accusing Candace Owens, for instance, as being mentally ill for her beliefs, and Bi-polar has some very specific tells.

It seems like consensus is able to make that distinction without too many problems.

> His answer was that he got a tourist visa and was on vacation, so it was obviously legal for him to work while in the country.

Well, that depends. For example, the United States has a B1/B2 visa where you can do business things like meetings. That's not work. But still, if you are a tourist aka you get a rare B2 only visa then no what he did was not legal -- and just because he is C level doesn't mean he won't breach the law in this. Might be out of arrogance or ignorance, even.

His answer sounds like "I am a rich man, laws, pfft" to me.
Everyone has teeth. Not everyone has had direct exposure to nuclear explosions.
Hah, what?

I have watched personally multiple household name companies go on hiring sprees when layoffs, that those line and department managers were aware of, were imminent.

Tacoma FD for one locally high visibility action: Advertised for the hiring of 30-44 firefighters. Had a few thousand applicants. Rented the Tacoma Dome for several days for testing applicants. Went through the selection process, got their candidates, put them through nearly six months of full-time training. They all graduate from Academy...

... and come to their station the next morning to get a pink slip. They literally trained these people and let them go the moment they finished training, before they could do one day of actual work.

Because there was no budget to pay them. A budget that had been signed off by the City nearly six months -before- the hiring process began.
That's not a statement that is supported by Whatsapp's own privacy policy, and it's deliberately vague to subvert from how Meta uses your available data for advertising purposes.

To use a few examples:

- When sharing your location with a contact. This feature is provided by sending your location to Meta, not directly to the contact through E2EE. Even when not sharing your location Meta will approximate your location from your IP address and other available information such as the phone number area codes. For both of these scenarios Meta feed this information back into their system for other uses.

- Your contacts, and all metadata are taken by Meta for their usual purposes.

- Any kind of status update is immediately provided to Meta. Whatsapp's E2EE applies to only a specific subset of the app's functions.

- There are a range of automatically collected pieces of information that the app provides whatsapp, anecdotal evidence also indicates that whatsapp reports back conversation keywords. Such reporting usually presents unseen security risks to users.

Meta have been attempting to dilute the conversation about privacy and security by providing sly talking points for how their products are "private" and "secure". For example: They have stated that facebook is private because their servers are well maintained against hackers. They're currently heavily advertising whatsapp as secure because it offers E2EE messaging - neither of these statements address the underlying issue with Meta: it's an advertising company based on invasive data collection. Meta build profiles on users which are unacceptably detailed, we wouldn't trust our own elected representatives with such detailed profile building.
"exhaustion chase" never lasted that long, I don't remember the times exactly but animals that don't sweat are exhausted pretty quickly, a couple hours at most.
I agree and know all this and argue it weekly, trust me. Bad management doesn’t care.

> If my bootstrapped company is earning 10M/yr, you bet I'm taking 1M+ salary guilt-free.

Wouldn’t you prefer to take minimum salary and the rest as dividends? Seems like that would be the more tax advantaged approach and fully within your ability to do as majority owner.
I admire your commitment to this discussion :)

In the Three Body Trilogy, the hyper-advanced aliens use projectiles accelerated to very near the speed of light. The premise is that there's enough energy in these that their impact is an extinction-level event for the planet they hit.

There's a fun thread on Quora[1] about so-called "relativistic kinetic kill vehicles", with the top comment making the good point that a small projectile moving very fast might just punch a clean hole in the planet and keep going, thus not transferring most of its energy.

The IRS does not really agree. Home office expenses got quite a bit stricter a few years ago, and even before that expensing your entire apartment because you worked out of it was probably not technically allowed.

https://money.usnews.com/money/personal-finance/taxes/articl...

However, the IRS has very little staff to audit or enforce, you can probably get away with breaking the rules... until you don't.
The reason I rewatched The Closer is because a new video from Chappelle was released in which he talks about the artistic intent behind his jokes. "Dave Chappelle What's in a Name." I thought "Space Jews" was offensive, but as an artistic concept it's funny.

You know what else is funny? The transgender community has nothing to say about "Space Jews" afaik. In Ricky Gervais' most recent special he told a few transgender jokes, which I thought were not too bad and kind of funny, but then went on to be extremely offensive on other topics. I think his meta joke here is that he would only be criticized for the trans jokes. He was right.
Probably a case of survivorship bias. Tools that already lasted this long are likely built better.
> unless I'm part of a profit-sharing agreement that would also see me absorb losses

And how many workers even have the possibility of an arrangement like this, i.e. a worker-owned cooperative?

Yes, that is exactly the point. When a labour-saving technological development comes along, it's payday to the capital-having class and dreary times for the labour-doing class.
Even then the whole thing breaks down because the chance of winning is so astronomically small

In the states it's typical for credit/debit card support lines to still be open on bank holidays. They want to be able to nip fraud in the bud. Additionally bank holidays typically being heavily commercialized here means that large consumer transactions tend to cluster on them.
It's impossible for me to take this question in good faith if you have any reading comprehension at all.

You may not mind it, but that doesn't explain what justifies it.
Serverless deployments aren't painfully slow like they are with Kubernetes or other container orchestration platforms. At least with AWS lambda you can change and deploy your code in <10 seconds and have it taking traffic (In an infinite number of "environments"). So developing locally is kind of pointless.
How can negative times happen? Each block contains a hash of the previous block so in order to mine the next block you would need to know the hash of the previous block which more or less means that you need to know the previous block which means it existed first.

Is this some play going on with embedded timestamps or something that are not necessarily monotonic?
> like core devs or the people who literally wrote the book on understanding the technical nature of the system.

These are fringe. The cynical and predatory advocates are the ones who are actually heard by the naive marks.
It might be possible to build this app in a way that none of the information ever leaves the device. I would be very surprised if that was the case here.

Most large IT departments have a list of approved browsers and browser extensions. The scenario you described would fall under the same policy. If Chrome uploaded the content of intranet web pages to Google, I expect it would be banned as well.
Twitter seems to induce madness in some celebrities. Elon Musk has been going off the rails as well.
I believe you also have to be self-employed now. Which possibly some but not all founders would qualify as.
> The ledger as a permanent history available to the world, in real time, of every single transaction.

arguably a selling point. just not for selling large quantities of online drugs.
Yeah I'm sure you could. I use that VPS for my blog and personal projects also so I wanted to keep resource utilization to a minimum and not administer a webapp.
I'm intrigued about the kind of code that you're writing that would be at risk of being considered hate speech
I always liked geometry, but wasn't particularly talented in it. Still, I wonder whether geometry could explain certain algebraic concepts much more intuitively, or even lead to new discoveries that would be extremely difficult to do using math symbols.

Only in some dialects.
We also don't know how much of that $10B redemption resulted in real cash transactions, and how much might have been redeemed to Tether-affiliated business without a cash transaction taking place.
If it doesn't make money today, and does not any path to profitability, yes.
I would argue "reasoning about programs" formally means "can prove P Q R ..." (with appropriate choices for P Q R) and doesn't implicitly carry an assumption of consistency. But, fair enough.
> You think founders are paying out of pocket for their fancy SF and NYC apartments at 50k per year living humbly? Think again. IDK, I always thought this part of the narrative was rather misleading.

In what situation would a founder have a company with meaningful investor backing and not use that money to pay for an office for employees and instead use it to pay for their rent?

The tone and insinuation of your message is that founders pay themselves $50k/year but then splurge excessively using company funds on "fancy SF and NYC apartments" (which, depending on how fancy you mean, could go for $10-2k/month), which would almost certainly qualify as both tax fraud and fraud against the company. Your edit doesn't really do anything to alleviate the messaging, because you basically say (a) founders often commit fraud (b) ok maybe not, but I'm not erasing my earlier statement.

FWIW when I started a company in SF in 2012, my cofounders and I did indeed pay ourselves $50k/year and pretty much 100% of that money after taxes went to rent and living costs (maybe saved $5k/year, I wasn't keeping track that closely). This was after paying ourselves $0 for a while of course. We did not live in fancy apartments or use a penny of company funds to expense rent or any other personal living costs. In fact, even after we raised $35m for our company, we still only paid ourselves $90k for another couple years.
They are end to end encrypted, but you are not the only one holding the key. So although you can’t see for yourself, Apple does control who gets to look and there is no analytics going on.

And you can of course always chose to run local, encrypted backups.
> Can you imagine developing software and having to bring your own computer and devices?

I prefer this, as a lot of companies provide crappy equipment. However, this doesn't work beyond the tiniest of companies because any COO worth their salt would flip their lid at having uncontrolled, outside equipment on their network. You really can't be sure about BYOC, especially with tech-savvy workers.

> Did you know that car mechanics have to buy their own tools?

The dealership also provides them with the expensive equipment they need to do their job. Yeah, mechanics have their own tool boxes with the basics, but they don't provide their own lifts, alignment racks, diagnostic software, etc.

It's pretty similar to the system I'm in, I provide my own monitors, keyboards, desk, chair, etc, while my company provides my laptop, software and cloud platform.
Most clouds don't support it, but vultr.com does.
What are the chances that type of story could be repeated today? Seems pretty unlikely, but corporations are in some ways 'dumb' and we do base a lot of our society on trust.
Also why a standard keyboard has a Break key: used to be that a telegraph station would have a bell that rang if it detected a broken connection (a “break condition”), then people figured that deliberately inducing a break was a handy way to alert the remote operator. I think the first automated telegraph systems actually used current-loop signalling, but I’m not sure about the first practical ones; in any case, the concept carried over into modern (well, 70s-vintage) asynchronous lines—most UARTs nowadays have a break interrupt that you can enable.
I've certainly got into the habit of reading the methods and results of social science papers that make headlines and what I've found has been horrifying. More than half of the time, there are serious, serious flaws involved in the data collection or the analysis. Even worse, I've frequently encountered situations where the underlying data really seems to point toward the opposite conclusion than the one made by the researchers who have really twisted and beaten the data into submission to get the conclusion they wanted.
Zig does look great
> it is a brute-force search

That usually causes people to assume its a finite haystack with a single needle, e.g. something that has progress, and bitcoin mining doesn't.

A lottery is a better analogy but carries its own misunderstandings. All analogies are imperfect. :)
As a non-start-up person who'd really not likely ever do it but looks at graphs all day as a job, it does seem like the long tail makes sense, although it's hard to tell if 500 (plus a survey) is a representative sample. It seems like the usual thing for power distributions, you'll have a long tail with flying high salaries which is what most people think of when they think of founders (the architype of a walking hype and reality-disortion field emitting white man wearing a poloshirt), but you'll have a nice chunk near the bottom of the distribution which is "everyone else" who likely won't make a big exit. Don't the vast majority of start-ups fail? That description is the quintessential description of "success" for any variable with a power-law distribution.
Hey,

I come from OpenBB.

The OpenBB Terminal is fully python based so that we can have the community working on the platform without needing to rely on other languages or frameworks. Having that said, we are currently working on a better frontend for less tech-savvy users.

From your demo, it seems that it's not all integrated into your platform, so you are just opening a new tab to the corresponding data source. On our platform you get access to a very substantial amount of data, and we make it all integrated so that you can benefit from learning our infrastructure.

You may argue that you get access to the data faster than OpenBB. But you are comparing opening a new window and url to processing data from a source and displaying into the same platform where the rest of the interface lies. A bit unfair.

In addition, we double down on automation. So, the OpenBB Terminal actually allows you to automate your full investment research routine - which I think is something you can't do in any other platform, easily.

In any case, good luck with the project!
The challenge is that there's two kinds of VPN users (corporate and retail), and for corporate users, the thing you just described is simply a VPN.
Have you done that refactor? There is no timeline you can do once people are just injecting static text everywhere in the app.

That project is 'done' when the interval between bug reports increases past some number where people decide it's done. But if you tell your boss "next month" then you're going to be proven wrong.
And it's great! I can't wait for season 2.
I don't know if I think it's likely he can make a success out of Parler. That's a very tall order. But I definitely think he's got a better shot at it than whoever has run it to date.
Those just seek approval from others. It's one of three undesireable lines of growth: by seeking approval from superiors, by desiring to look better than peers and by desiring to invoke fear. All three can be traced to the early childhood of the individual: those who grew up in fear will learn to see the world thru this lens and so on. The three desireable lines of growth are: by compassion to others, by seeking the truth and by action of self sacrifice (not necesserarily in the literal sense).
Once your company is earning $10M/year, you should probably be using debt instruments instead, and paying yourself enough salary to cover the interest. That gives you a real tax rate on your cash earnings under 10% (and capped at the LTCG rate) if you can get a decent valuation.
Are you suggesting I'm doing worse on Google Captchas because I consider pedestrian crossing lights as a form of traffic lights but Americans don't?
It sounds like you are coming from the position of "prove to me Twitter does customer support", and you're right I went and gathered some evidence for this. If you started from that position though I think you're entirely justified in not realising this was a customer support interaction.

However, in my experience of ~14 years on Twitter, seeing support processes inside companies, and as a consumer, I think most consumers treat any two-way comms channel from a company as customer support regardless of whether the company is providing it. Many even treat review websites as customer support, despite it being wholly inappropriate for that.

Companies do support on Twitter because their customers are treating it like that, not the other way around.
