Currently we only have sale of majority votes contingent on wins: If you vote for me, I will give you X. Enabling vote sales will enable sale of minority votes and not contingent on wins. This is better for people with minority opinions and allows them to correctly line up their desires with monetary reward.

If you hate abortion, but like $100 more than you hate abortion, then why shouldn't we just give you $100?

Of course, there is the knock-on effect of wanting inequality so you can control people and keep the vote price low, that's true. But that's just a question of the vote economics. I'm sure we can work something out.

I would imagine needing the paycheck.

Those who were not, if they quit, their pay ends that day. They'd have whatever savings they have.
rST is nice for making complete documents, but for smaller things it just is not practical. For one-off things (like github comments) or smaller wikis, markdown is just more practical. rST has bigger reliance on a mildly smart editor than markdown has, just to handle indentation.

The upside of rST is that it's just more complete, it has more document elements available. Markdown is often written without thought to having a readable plain text document, but rST is often very readable in plain text too.

If they are giving 60 day notice, they aren't breaking the law.
I agree, which is why I went on to say that I think 5% is a more realistic target.

I also wouldn't discount the idea that some people are going to subscribe for political reasons, at least initially. HN seems to fairly consistently label Musk lately as "right -wing", but in truth he's become more of an "anti-left-wing" figure. By extension, I think that means that ~50% of the country is going to have a positive impression of his control of Twitter.

I've been watching right wing social media (forums, not Gab/Truth/MeWe/etc.), and they're relishing in the layoffs. That effect won't last long, but it'll likely have a measurable impact on subscriptions and a corresponding long tail.

Judging from other comments here, it seems like that's not an economic solution for storing electricity -- only for storing heat.

And I suppose it's really not so different from simply having a hot water heater like so many homes do? That you could program to only add more water to when electricity is cheapest? (And in-floor heating uses hot water pipes.)

But hot water tanks are very safe, they're only 60°C. I would think that 600°C sand (or rocks) is the kind of thing that's not particularly safe to have inside your home. That's really, really hot.

Have you done the math and figured out how many rocks a home would need, how much insulation, and so whether it's even viable in theory, setting aside practical engineering/safety concerns?
But is it what you're calling "legal" speech to disclose confidential info? If so, is it not just like they issued themselves a takedown notice and immediately executed on it?

I agree.

Yet, if the argument in these comments is that Elon Musk is the Bad Guy(tm) because he overpaid for Twitter just as the Federal Reserve decided to start cranking up rates and as the world descends into recession, that argument ignores the elephant in the room.

My Special Altar
Ask HN: Why can't you set the language individually for most apps?
A while ago I set my language in iOS' settings to French to practice my French a bit more. Since then I noticed two things:

- Despite most apps certainly being available globally with multiple languages, they usually do not offer any option within the app to set the language to something different than the system language.

- Even weirder, some apps/services will assume that the system language is your main language and automatically set that language in your account as your main language. For services that can be accessed both on mobile/desktop, that sometimes leads to emails from that service switching back and forth between languages.

Why is that? Especially for the first point: since many apps are in principle available in multiple language, why not give the user the option to choose the language regardless of the OS settings?

The Degradation of Language (2009)
Yes, that is correct! Let me explain better:

As you said, we provide software to childcare agencies to manage care providers (nannies, babysitters, etc) and connect them with service seekers (families).
These agencies recruit, select, and agglomerate childcare providers so whenever a family needs a service in their home, they have a huge network of candidates from which to select, all of this using our software.

Now, by selling our software, we now have more than 200 childcare agencies across the US, which all combined represent a huge amount of childcare providers!

Then, we thought! We have a huge network, so how can we acquire customers (families)? The market is huge, who doesn't need to take care of their children? I bet we can advertise and find a lot of families looking for childcare! But wait, childcare is expensive, and not all parents can afford it, so let's speak with the companies they work for and see if they want to subsidize part of the cost of childcare.

And there is where we are at, we are trying to reach out to companies that could be interested in giving childcare as a benefit for their team members, without any luck.

I hope that this makes more sense :)

sudoedit runs the editor as the original non-privileged user, which is nice if you're using a configurable text editor like vim/emacs so you're not suddenly using whatever (lack of) configuration the root user has setup. It can also be nice to know any other stuff a complex editor can do like running other programs won't happen in the privileged context.

> It was revolutionary in the sense of taking space launches private.

Good for him? I'm not sure why that is something to praise.

> Again, this seems like you complaining that you don't yet have a penthouse when they're still pouring the concrete foundation.

It's the other way around: cheap space flight is the penthouse of planetary colonization. The foundation is the ability to build a self-sufficient colony. Once we were able to colonize the least hospitable places on Earth, only then would it make sense to think about how we move this technology to Mars - 50 or 100 years from now, most likely.

It's also worth noting that we have no reason to assume that a human population can even survive on Mars, as we have no idea if humans can live long term or even reproduce in Martian conditions (especially the very low gravity). Before even thinking about this colonization, we would actually have to establish whether it's possible for mammals to live long term and reproduce in low-G conditions. If it's not, there's a whole new world of technology we would have to discover before attempting it.

SpaceX is to Mars colonization like buying your dream wedding dress not just before finding a boyfriend, but before even knowing if you're gay or straight.

He can only do that if he owned Tesla and SpaceX outright. But, Tesla is a publicly-traded company with tens of thousands of shareholders that’ll sue him into oblivion if he tries that.

SpaceX is privately-held, but has raised billions of dollars from dozens of investors, so that won’t fly neither.
This is complete nonsense. There aren‘t fundamental issues at play. The issue is time and time again memory safety and bounds checking. Avoiding that topic in favor of „fundamental issues“ is disingenuous at best.

Rust / Go / Modern Language X is not a magic bullet for every problem, but it sure seems to be a magic solution for this very problem which occurs incredibly often and is easily fixed by avoiding archaic languages for security critical stuff.
Yes, you literally can. It's sometimes called a "strategic default". More importantly, this was what people did during the subprime mortgage crisis of the mid aughts. In fact, the baller move was to stop making the payments, and then challenge every bank that tried to foreclose because none of them had all the proper paperwork to show they legally owned the debt.[1]

There were even pearl clutching op-eds[0] about how it was "immoral" to stop paying a loan on a property that wasn't worth the loan, even though that is is literally the legal and optimum move that companies do all the time.

I am fairly confident that the rate increases we've seen over the last couple of months are going to be permanent, and we're going to keep seeing inflation for quite a long time.

You'll see that is a problem here too... Turn on 'showdead' in your profile and you'll see them that get moderated away.

Even the trivial posting of jokes and rather content free - it is the community and the moderation that the community does that is there.

You can make a restricted subreddit where only people who are subscribers can post (though anyone can read). https://www.reddit.com/r/modguide/comments/dt2qgr/private_re...

You can make a subreddit such that only people who have been flared can post more than once a day with external bots doing moderation and then as a moderator add/remove flares to people who contribute.

You can have a sub not show up in /r/all.

There is a lot of tooling that can be created and added to subs to get it to fit the moderation that is desired... it just takes work.

I would contend that it will take a less work to get a reddit sub to have the community and to match the moderation desired as it would be to launch a site with custom coding that has the desired tooling and community.

Scotland isn't seeking independence. A large number of people in Scotland are. They have that right, so do people in Catalonia, California and Cornwall. In the case of California and Cornwall I'm fairly certain the number wanting independence is a tiny minority, but if they want independence they have full rights, just like the people of Virginia and co had a right to independence from the Britain back in the 18th century.

The alternative view is that the people of Virginia and co did not have that right, and that may be something you believe, but it's not something I believe
