Grandparenting in old accounts is baked into the system. Plans are immutable[1] once pushed live, so if you add a new plan and put it on your signup page, new customers will use the new plan, but existing customers will keep on with the plan they signed up with. You can of course upgrade them at any time using `tier.subscribe()`

Scheduling rollouts of new pricing can be done by modifying the effective date of a `tier.subscribe()` call. So you could do something like `tier.subscribe('org:' + customerID, 'plan:whatever@123', someFutureDate)`.

For communicating it to customers, yeah, you'll probably want to tell them their price is going to change ;) It might even be good to have an email campaign where they can check out the new price and decide to upgrade/downgrade/whatever with some time to make a decision. Customers usually don't love being forced into things without notice. Tier doesn't handle this part of it for you, but it does give you the tools to make the actual subscription change pretty easily.

[1] "Mostly" immutable. You can of course go into your Stripe account and edit anything they let you. But Tier makes it easier to just add new plans and leave the old ones there.
I really hate any popup that pesters me for my email address. I'm already reading your article, I don't want you to email it to me.

What is it about email newsletters that gives companies such a boner? Do they actually work? They annoy the hell out of me. I switched coffee company because the previous one had a popup asking for newsletter signup on every visit, and it was annoying difficult to get out of on a mobile screen when I was trying to order coffee beans. And worse, I was already signed up to the newsletter!
> For example, you can take a for loop that applies a function to a list and then creates a new list. You can't "easily" add another for loop that then applies a second transformation.

This is quite unconvincing.

Easy solution 1: add a second loop which takes the first loop's output and transforms it with f2.

Easy solution 2: realise you are doing one transform after another and replace out.add(f1(x)) with out.add(f2(f1(x)).

> Twitter offers him value, or he wouldn't be on it

I mean yes, but that value might be so low as to not be worth paying for. Not even for the monetary cost, but for the effort involved in setting up the payment (entering card details, etc) and then checking your bill is what you expect for the rest of time. That tiny amount of extra effort might make twitter not worth it alone for some people, even without the financial cost.

And even that yes it does offer value I'd qualify in that the value might ultimately on reflection be considered to be ultimately a loss on net. For example a heroin addict gets value out of heroin, but on balance the value they get (a fleeting pleasure) often isn't worth the damage done to their lives, but you could say "well it obviously offers value or they wouldn't be taking it". Note that I'm not claiming twitter is addictive or damaging like heroin, just trying to point out that "must have value because they do it" isn't really a solid argument a lot of the time

By that logic are we unfathomably wealthy because there are billions of planets out there teaming with resources?

But discounting the obvious improvements in sensing an processing is just nonsense.

> and I have an adult's fear of irritating others with repetitive practice and being judged for playing poorly.

This is a big factor for me too. I play electric guitar not piano - I always had the problem of guitar amplifiers not really sounding any good until you turn them up real loud. And their volume knobs tend not to allow you to easily set it to quiet anyway.

I've recently started plugging my guitar into my "normal" but high watt power amp into some very nice big speakers, with an old 90s reverb unit in between... since normal amps don't have the usual preamp stage i have a lot of control over volume and it's so much easier to play at low volume but without sacrificing the sound.

I don't feel bad about playing the same thing over and over now when i'm practising, it's just for my living room. My next idea is to try out a modeling amplifier effect unit where you can even use headphones but still get good sounding distortion (probably better than I could afford).
Ask HN: Do you agree with HN's shadow banning certain submissions?
I have experienced this a few times. Just recently, I submitted an interesting article as follows:

https://analyticsindiamag.com/gpt-3-is-quietly-damaging-google-search/

But HN automatically "dead"s the article, and there's no option to "discuss" it. The worst part? I can see the article on my end, but when logged out, HN doesn't even show the article on my profile.

I think there are two problems here:

1) HN — much like many companies that are discussed here — doesn't tell me __why__ my submission was banned/dead immediately.

2) HN tries to not hurt my feelings by showing the dead article on my profile without tagging it as "dead" or "flagged", but it is actually quite disappointing to see this.

For one thing, it directly makes cars less affordable if you’re borrowing to do it, making it less likely people will want to buy or lease a new car. If demand falls, auto manufacturers will eventually need to do something to keep selling.

> Will we all just become a meat shell of fried dopamine receptors, with various AIs and algorithms dictating every facet of our lives?

I've been thinking about this lately, in terms of dopaminergic activities like advertising, drugs, sex, gambling, bright colors, etc. When someone is too susceptible to addiction by one of these, their life is destroyed by it.

Pursuing dopamine, purely for the feeling of dopamine, results in this evolutionary dead end. So, every time modern society optimizes a product to produce more dopamine response, anyone susceptible is selected against, evolutionarily.

Your description is poignant. I can only see this going a couple of ways: 1. A society of people with fried dopamine receptors, too uninterested in food to grow it or eat it (Idiocracy). This collapses, and less dopamine-advanced people inherit the earth (until they do the same thing). Or 2. a society of people who can control, by whatever means, their dopamine urges.

It's no different than a Range Rover, a Bentley, a Ferrari, heck even. M3. MY f250 diesel gets better milage than my neighbors M3, and it saves the climate in many ways compared to his M3.

If yoi compare an average M3 owner who Flys for work or vacation every 4 months to me, who has a Diesel f250 that is driven only to tow a travel trailer RV which we use every few months for work/pleasure travel, along with the relative carbon usage for say a hotel and all its laundry vs. staying in my RV I believe it's a wash.

> There’s a small number of users with potentially lots of followers for whom Twitter is an important part of their work or life.

Twitter also needs them so it’s a symbiotic relationship. In some cases I’d say Twitter needs them more than they need it. Like popular music celebrities, sport stars etc. So Twitter has to tread carefully not to antagonize such crowd pullers lest they migrate to a competitor social media.
Humans like works the believe are created by other humans. There is a substantial amount of money to be made by human-washing AI-produced products.
Replying to the other sibling comment here about paying for its cost. Vehicles in the US are taxed mainly by taking the gas that goes into them, the more gas (diesel) they use the more taxes they're paying, so it works out as the commenter hoped, if you have a bigger more thirsty vehicle you pay more taxes to maintain things like roads and infrastructure.

I agree, traditional animation was better than modern CGI, but I don't think it's as simple as CGI being an inherently worse medium, but that films are produced more cheaply. Some weeks ago a friend and I were watching and comparing some scenes of Snow White and Cinderella in English and Spanish and were stunned by the singers in both languages. How often do you hear actual opera singers in modern Disney films?

So, yes, what you say may definitely happen, but it's a trend some graphical industries have been on for decades. It's why there are so many fewer professional animators anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if some techniques of traditional animation have been lost by now.
"I think it's a little more complicated than that." Agreed, but decades of observation tell me there is more than enough supply across the shitpost to troll spectrum to go around :)

Because someone may see a version of reality where people are incapable of benefiting from their own work does not mean that it's by any means a settled issue or indicative of "Reality". I doubt these conversations would exist if it was. It is indeed the current year, but that doesn't mean that because things can be metaphorically distilled with false and reductionist equivalencies, that it should all be free for the taking to benefit a few people who outran regulation.

Regarding the concept of control, artists were first put in a defensive position by the individuals who started using their work without their consent, and who are trying exercise their own control over the artwork produced by others through monetizing outputs. Are only companies like Stability.AI, OpenAI, and Midjourney exclusively permitted to use and control the artwork of others, and allowed to charge for access to models which use this artwork without compensation or accreditation to the original authors? Are those artists computers not also being ruined? Do they not deserve representation?

We need to stop demonizing the idea that someone can benefit from their work because there are some companies that have fought to extend copyright for their own benefit.

Copyright REFORM is generally a much more supportable issue than the idea that everything should be free in perpetuity...
> are supposed to reduce the price of food and gas (CPI) and clothes, furniture, cars, toys, electronics, and other junk (core CPI).

Rising interest rates strongly support the currency, as you might see now with the USD and have far it has outperformed every other because bond rates are great in the US so all the cash starts flooding in.

The prices of all those things you mentioned (sans food for the US) are mostly valued in other currencies.

I would also like to add for a better shell:

Please add another standard output stream.

stdout is for output

stderr is for error messages

stdlog for status/tracking, verbose output, event streams. Too often this gets shunted to stderr, and I don't want to logfile hunt. Other examples: download status from curl, verbose output flags in things like ssh and other comm programs that need configuration debugging on the regular, and others.

Nushell seems to also focus on json output for commands. I think this should be a requirement pushed into all unix commands that do output (LS! please please please a json output flag for simple ls which CANNOT BE PARSED RELIABLY).

A Trillion Dollar Opportunity
The process for a human to copy her style in an original work would be similar, and legal. I don't think it's a good idea to prevent the automation of human-capable tasks, because it's anticompetitive: it protects an industry (albeit a small one of starving artists) at the cost of consumers.

The harms to artists are obvious and immediate, but limited and small. The benefits of letting an ML model train in the same way as a human are vague and in the future, but might be capable of massive transformative changes in the way we work. I think it's right to be careful about "protecting" a limited number of people at the cost of enormous future potential.
Blue Mountain Enterprises, LLC v. Owen https://law.justia.com/cases/california/court-of-appeal/2022...

https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/california-court-of-appeal...

> Despite California’s general hostility towards post-termination restrictive covenants, the California Court of Appeal, in a recently published opinion, Blue Mountain Enters., LLC v. Owen, 74 Cal.App.5th 537 (1st Dist. Jan. 10, 2022), affirmed that a post-termination customer non-solicitation agreement was enforceable under California Business & Professions Code § 16601.

> Under most circumstances, contractual provisions that prevent a person from engaging in a profession, trade, or business, including customer non-solicitation agreements, are void in California. However, section 16601 of the California Business and Professions Code carves out a statutory exception to the rule for individuals selling all of their interest, including goodwill, in a business.

> ...

> After Owen’s employment was terminated for cause, Owen established a competing construction services company and sent a letter to Blue Mountain customers stating, among other things, that he was launching his new business with “greater perspective, more resources and a much stronger team.” Blue Mountain obtained preliminary and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting Owen from soliciting its customers and prevailed on its motion for summary judgment adjudication of its breach of contract claim.
1) The pi 400 is not exactly abundant and it won't be easy to buy large quantities. When I said they were easy to get, I meant you could e.g. put yourself on adafruit's waiting list and get a notification fairly quickly that allows you to snag a unit, or maybe 2 units, but either way it is a low limit. Even if you are obnoxious and go buy up all you can find night and day, it still won't be a lot on the scale of things.

2) the packaging with the keyboard actually is fairly compact. I'm going to use mine like I would normally used a boxed 4b (i.e. as sort of a home server tucked out of sight) but am not going to try taking the board out of the case. It looks like a small keyboard in a normal keyboard enclosure and doesn't take that much space. It isn't really that visible that there is a computer inside.
Yes. They aren't common, but I e seen maybe half a dozen. Typically high level employees. Never a normal engineer.
I can't find a reference off the top of my head but earlier this year I saw a journalist post their engagement data on Twitter and it was shockingly bad. If I recall correctly they had hundreds of thousands of views and hundreds of click-throughs to their website.

Fynn (YC S19) | Fullstack Engineer / Data Scientist | Remote OK | NYC/Dallas/Minnesota

We help finance students through trade & vocational school, to pursue in-demand careers like electricians, nurses, welders, or pharmacists. Trade school in the US is an amazing opportunity for people to move from poverty towards a stable income, but the students that would benefit most are the ones that struggle most with paying for tuition. Traditional credit underwriting doesn't work well for students right out of high school or with weak credit history.

We underwrite students based on their future potential instead of their credit history, and we have built a more student-friendly, federally compliant loan as we work with our partner schools.

We're a small team of 10, based half in NYC and half remote, and went through YC in 2019. We're looking for product-minded engineers and data scientists who can move fast, write high-quality code, and love building things from scratch. Our stack is postgres/python/react.

You can argue that patents are an INCENTIVE to progress, since people are INCENTIVIZED to create newer and better things knowing that they will be able to enjoy the results of their labor without copycats leeching on their work and ingenuity. I think the pharma model of short-time allowed patents is the best, something like a 10 year competition free period is completely fair to INCENTIVIZE people to create the iPhones and cancer cures of tomorrow.
