dude i code for many years now and i still google how some functions and algos work.

it doesnt make sense to beat yourself up for not remembering everything

one good perspective is you may forget everything about it, but now you still know how to find the answers that lead you to it.
Yea, that's a fair point. Though I'd still be upset if I'm waiting in a line of Waymos turning left that go once per light change when I'm not in a self-driving car.
it never had that meaning. it's a concerted effort by democrat politicians and media: they say "price gouging" because that's something most people agree is wrong when it's actually normal economic behavior in response to both parties' really stupid economic policies. they're doing this because they want more control of pricing and that's how they're going to lie their way into it and spread disinformation about what's happening.

edit: updating with proof, Texas state definition is "selling or leasing fuel, food, medicine, or another necessity at an exorbitant or excess price, or demanding an exorbitant or excessive price in connection with the sale or lease of fuel, food, medicine or another necessity."
And yet they are not required to use the iPad unless you chose to adopt those keyboard centric use cases. It is valid to say that the price of the iPad is $449 + #350 for optional accessories but to just roll those prices into it is misleading to people who aren’t looking for the mythical laptop replacement.
Guess who has a budget for entire teams to babysit the output of the auditing software?

It's just a business calculation.
If expensive permitting is the problem, since it's the government doing the building shouldn't that not really be a "cost", order the department to waive any fees.

Also, If that were the case I would suspect that adding a bathroom to your house in SF would cost upwards of a million dollars as well but I doubt that's true. Correct me if I'm wrong.

A similar effect can be seen in ancient Rome, towards the end of the empire the millers started to produce less and less product from the same amount of grain. The mint that produced the coins would mysteriously lose large amounts of them, or they wouldn't contain the correct percentages of metals and nobody in power did anything about it. Well that's not entirely right, one person did and they killed him.

They’re quite different products. For the 5% you pay Paddle, they’ll resell your product and take care of global sales taxes. It requires a lot less paperwork.

Other competitors in that space include Fastspring and Revin.
It sounds like you might just be a poor listener and are pushing that problem off onto other people.
I contacted stripe and they said there is an ongoing problem with AMEX Cards with Indian stripe users.

Could you please use a different card?
Just block all of India for a week. That’ll sharpen minds a bit to track down the culprit

And given that this seems like a near existential threat drastic action seems warranted.
uhh does it though? your example directly disproves that because freedom to lie implies freedom to dissent and vice versa. the fact that people can go spread misinformation and that most sane people disagree, but others are still free to go talk about it proves that nobody has "control of the truth" and that's on balance a good thing.
I actually agree with you. I'm building a house (personally as in I am the one hammering in each nail) that is 100% off grid - probably only going to be using Gas and Diesel for the next few years also. But I do enjoy talking about tech and future EV technology.
Firefox is developed by the Mozilla Corporation, an entity owned by the Mozilla Foundation. Donations to the Foundation go to woke activism and the like, not so much to software development. Buying add-on services to Firefox is the proper way to send money to the organization that actually builds the browser and to help it become more independent from Google as a funding source.
> Dang just banned someone for the wrongthink of questioning the authoritarian police state

Actually I just banned them for using HN exclusively for ideological battle, which is clearly against the rules for what ought to be obvious reasons to anyone who's read them: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Bit of a feat to pull "authoritarian police state" out of that, but the internet can do anything.
Interruption is sometimes productive though. If the person speaking is not able to stick to one point at a time and instead goes on a monologue expanding multiple topics, others may have critical things to say, but are not able to say because by the time the person stops, the dialogue has moved on to a different topic.

This is very important in say a business setting where decisions need to be made while evaluating all the aspects of the task at hand. If useful information is not discussed because the only way it could’ve happened is by interrupting the speaker, then everyone loses out.
What happens to the passengers if you're on the freeway and it starts to rain. Does the car just dump them on the shoulder? Or is it smart enough to find a good place nearby to kick them out?
Ah, I liken it to rising flood waters. I removed everything in every space of the house that was remotely dangerous and could conceivably be reached by young children. So they had the run of the house, and it was totally safe.
Also if you pay a company you can sue them if they get it wrong, if you use an open source solution you're on your own.

I'm pretty sure quite a few industries make money by simply assuming responsibility.
FL Studio Mobile has been around for 11 years at this point. Specifically as a launchpad for ideas which are then finished in FL Studio.

Not the best place for this...but i just cant help but sigh at the near shunning of FL as a major DAW player by the industry by and large. the amount of third party VST houses which list support for all major DAWs and consistently leave out FL is just laughable at this point. How can one of the most forward thinking DAWs with some of the most industry leading features, abd year on year reported most popular DAW by marketshare continue to be ignored in this way?

I understand a common excuse is "FL Studio is highly pirated". So what? Adobe and scores of other software is...
The title's use of "undid" takes away from the point which is that one year of wildfires created A LOT of emissions.

>The Euro lost a lot of its value vs the USD

Perhaps, but those are made in China, with Taiwanese and Korean parts thrown in, anyway.

Did those raise compared to the Euro? Or it's just that Apple wants to get the same or more amounts of dollar coming in, and the change in Euro vs Dollar is a red herring?
But we do know that large numbers of people use the low end iPad simply as a device to browse web pages sitting on the couch, browse their photo library, and play games. Those things do not require the accessories. They are only required if you assume that everyone must use the iPad as a laptop and this is more aspirational than reality.
Let's stop spreading this corporate propaganda. Microsoft's goal is to kill software freedom, and the goal of these Github articles is to give the company a facelift. If open source is democratizing gamedev so much, howcome Microsoft's DirectX is still proprietary? Get the hell out of Github and stop spreading this naivete on HN.

But it is web content, really. A txt file renders fine in every browser.

Many websites also push text through HTML as part of AJAXy stuff. If they actually enforced this for all sites, their service would no longer be usable.
That is a good point. Maybe I will write a mobile app where you can scan a UPC code and it will tell you who really makes it. And something similar for all the big stores.
Imagine all the civilizations taking photographs of these pillars and wondering about the civilizations that live between the pillars.
Paintings are the perfect example of lots of value and use close to zero of the planets resources to create.

They are experiences for many people that could last forever. These attacks are on public paintings.

This shows you care absolutely nothing about the environment and only about hurting people.

And that is 100% the environmentalist movement.

You make absolutely ridiculous statements like "there’s no habitable planet" only to justify the fun in cruelty to others.

> Banksy can do it and suddenly it’s worth even more money

Banksy has made the world a better place. I have never seen him destroy things of large value, even if you think what he does is zero value and has to be painted over his protest doesn't abuse the publics trust and cause large financial harm.
io_uring: So Fast. It's Scary
Advocating tuning algorithms to favour sources the Mozilla Foundation likes is not my idea of user control.

That said, I simply enjoy the product more. Stuff like tab groups and PWAs and other Chromium-derived niceties with a pretty thorough degoogling is a good combination. Add to that an independent search index and it's a pretty damn good package.
I wonder how e.g. NixOS or Homebrew deal with this
For the context, I was looking for an example of Gödel's incompleteness theorem that didn't involve self-referencing, because I felt that Gödel's example that relied on self-referencing (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25115746) did not match what I pictured in my mind as a "normal" undecidable statement. It just felt like a fancy version of the “This statement is false” paradox, which wasn't what I hoped for.
So I found that link here: https://mathoverflow.net/a/4725.
That’s the same experience as being in a taxi though, and plenty of people get frustrated by slow taxi rides. Nobody wants to spend more time than they have to in a taxi, whether driven by a human or computer.
It's pretty explicable. Our entire economic system is based on the premise that we should off shore the production of things to other places who are willing to deal with the nitty gritty and get it done at a price Americans can afford and then we regulate and enforce wages that ensure that those activities are prohibitively onerous and expensive to be done in the USA. This is literally by design.

It's great for multiplying the amount of physical things everyone gets to consume as long as the quality of those things isn't taken into account. It's a disaster in the event we actually need to build any physical things for ourselves.

We've been able to pretend this isn't true for the last 40 years as we wore our existing infrastructure down into the ground. It is becoming more apparent now as we fail to rebuild to the state we were in 70 years ago.
No making a copy of it and putting it up for free on wikipedia, eh?
Should have thrown the soup on an Andy Warhol painting.
None of these are particularly unique ideas. There could easily be multiple products which all do these and work in very different ways.

You are asking why the CEO of a company is not deeply engaged with your ideas and didn't invest in them. The simple answer is that you didn't present them well and he probably doesn't have time to dig into them deeply.

I really doubt he did a teardown on your projects and then stole the best parts for his company. More likely, because you are working in a similar space to Replit they happened to build some of the same ideas. For example, a mobile IDE is something that makes of a lot sense for them to build if they have 20% of users on mobile and see it as the future.
Their moon is upside down too
Indeed. Before news from Italy, I don't think there were any mentions of elevated respiratory infection rates in Europe.
This once happened in a particular South Korean news website where it shamelessly stole and hot-linked to a JavaScript file in a third-party website. The domain owner responded it by replacing the file, and the website in question had a warning message and tilted [1] for a while.

Maybe an uninformed question, but I tool a look at the documentation, the stripe plugin demo, and then looked at what stripe offers. As someone who uses neither but might be interested in subscription + shop type purchases, what do I get with KillBill+Stripe that I don't with just Stripe?
My friend once told me about a story about his son, who came back home from school, crying, for what reason. My friend, who was obviously shocked, asked his son what had happened. Turns out, he got into an argument with a girl from his class, and that argument escalated, and very much turned into a fight between the two. As expected, sooner or later, a teacher showed up, and broke the fight up. Instead of sending them BOTH to detention, as the teacher should've done, she instead asked the two what had happened. The girl said that the boy hit her first because of his temper, which he didn't, that is, according to my friend's saying. Very peculiarly, the teacher asked no further questions, and sent the boy to ISS. (In School Suspension). The girl went to her next class, and unlike the boy, did not get into trouble with the teachers. The boy had to stay after school as a result of getting into detention. His father, my friend, knew about the incident, as the school had contacted him about it. He was shocked, his little boy had never gotten into detention before, and was ready for his son to come back home to explain himself. That lead up to the events I had talked about in the beginning, where he came back home, crying because of what had happened. Even today, I am still vexed as to why most schools are this way. No student should be able to escape their punishment just because of their gender, and instead, should be taught a lesson, since it'll teach them to learn from their past experience, and improve it based off of what happened.
I understand that clerical errors and miscommunication happen. I make those mistakes myself.

But when they always err in favor of the dealer, I get suspicious.

> I still wonder how you made it to the paperwork stage without seeing the car and noticing it wasn't exactly 'new new'

I foolishly had not checked the odometer. I assumed that if the salesman said it was new, that it was new. Anyhow, on noticing the mileage on the final documents, I pointed it out, said I wanted a new car, and walked out. They watched me go, and when I was backing out of the parking lot, came running out and said they'd make buying it worth my while. And they did.

A car is designed for 200,000 miles. 5,000 is a significant chunk of that, and also the new car warranty is based on absolute mileage, not miles since buying it.

4. The various printed sheets that were not the final documents were printed separately and had no signature block. "I can't even imagine how we'd get the computer system to do this" You can probably do it with Excel. The idea is to focus the customer on the bottom line, and then he likely won't notice the column numbers were different on the final sheet because the total would be the same.

Small-minded people, perhaps. Is it worth discussing things with them?

For what it’s worth, this is a common take from interrupty people which I have found not to be the case in the long run. I suspect there’s a significant observer effect.

Government has to get permits like the rest of us
I think things in SF have gotten well past the point where people should believe that it's mere inefficiency, and start calling it what it is: corruption. This money is being embezzled, used as political favors, or otherwise misappropriated. There will be a story about a wasteful process, of course, some budget paperwork, and excuses. But unless a detective looks closely at the books, those excuses will probably be lies.

This particular price tag on this particular project isn't super important, but it looks to me like California government projects and public institutions have a pattern of doing this, adding up to a whole lot more than $1.7M.
I’m guilting of writing a “can’t happen” branch (as I’m sure many of us are).

I stripped it out before production after verifying it couldn’t actually happen but it was something like an artefact of my thinking process while writing the code.

It feels like a kind of assertion of underlying assumptions, and I know enough to know I’m fallible.

I’m always careful to make the error message something reasonable if it ever did actually come up in a tech demo or something though. Anything else is tempting the Fates.

You've misanalyzed the features. Please check my comments

- Amjad said "interesting" then said "not clear" and realized 3 key features asap https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33268592 then I see twitter smiles only from him. Here is $1B in the check

- Features https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33269154 Coincidence?

There are a lot of features in the replit, but he implemented my project after the letter to Amjad. 4k HN toppic just confirms it. I couldn't believe it would happen so fast and it would be Amjad. Why no one else?
I wouldn't be writing if I hadn't been involved with the issue for over ten years and hadn't been a mobile development evangelist. There are few such people and Amjad is not one of them.

About russians: I just assumed about russian capital, since only russians have an ideology to destroy Ukrainians by any means, and if the Amjad has Russian investors, then this is a problem. Our team has survived many ethnically targeted attacks since the Russian hybrid aggression has been going on since 2014 when russians shot down the MH17 airplane. All these years, the main methods were related to the theft of money, for example, a project where I had $2M stock options in 2008 was stolen from us. Therefore, there was a press and I wrote to Amjad asking for help. But this requires a separate thread.

PS: Of course, we live in a complex system of technologies and startups. And I must say that many technologies/projects/startups have already been stolen from me and I am a security expert and many projects have been destroyed. So I made titanic work for the project that is technically difficult to steal and Amjad proved it.

If I may interrupt here, I found the small, faint type on the site an annoyance...
That works the best close to noon, but I don’t think that works so well at around dawn or dusk.

Latitude also matters. The closer it is to the arctic or antarctic circle, the iffier that gets.

This isn’t a trick so much as just how the sun and the earth defines the plane of the ecliptic and how we experience it because of Earth’s rotation.

There are some interesting things that can be done with starlight navigation. The Polynesans, for example, might navigate by latitude based on how far up Sirius is in the sky, or using the little dipper (and Polaris) in the Northern Hemisphere as a clock.

The post you're responding to this qualified it with "as long as both participants are willing to yield to interrupt-denies and counter-interrupts when interrupting" - that addresses your point. This doesn't necessarily work well in a context where people are unfamiliar, but with close friends/colleagues/family who are all on board with this conversation paradigm and familiar with each other's interruptive style, it works very well.

For the curious: besides the Pullman towns, there were many other “company towns” [1] in the United States, owned by various companies [2].

Some of the most exploitive ones were owned by mining firms, as immortalized in the famous protest song “Sixteen Tons”, with its refrain “I owe my soul to the company store”. [3]

Mostly because it is an academic exercise and lacks obvious incentives for profit but it's good to know there is such a project. Seems like my idea was right on the mark.

Thanks for the reference. It says that the project was started in 2017, have there been any interesting discoveries since then?
You seem determined to misunderstand and misrepresent me. I don't know if you're just having a bad day or doing it on purpose, so I'm going to move on and let you figure yourself out.
Not necessarily. Biden's head of the FTC is strikingly unsympathetic to big mergers and other large business shenanigans.

Obama's presidency was awful. Every promise to the center/left broken, and a huge, continuous giveaway to the right, who repaid him by slapping him in the face. He implemented Romney's healthcare plan. He kept the bankers out of jail / gallows after the 2008 crisis -- "Too big to fail". (The bankers repaid Obama's kindness by heavily funding the GOP.) He kept us in Afghanistan. And Republicans hated him for giving them everything they wanted. So frustrating to watch.
Where's the corruption here? If you set up a system of regulation where a building a toilet costs 1.7M and then building a toilet costs 1.7M, that seems like inefficiency not corruption.

I'm open to being proven wrong here but it seems like this statement needs to be justified.

I don't know about instant/turn play semantics so can't follow the tradeoffs there.

> Not everyone is well versed in how those semantics play out

I would argue that this is not necessary: just watch younger people who are friendly with each other discuss something: what I'm describing is a natural mode of communication. AFAICT it's just overridden in certain cases when people are taught "never interrupt someone speaking" or something along those lines.

But I would be curious if you could lay out the tradeoffs with instant plays in the card game semantics you mentioned.
