You post extremely good quality videos. I agree with your arguments. Every time you drop a video, I make sure to watch it. It would not be the case if you posted everyday.
I’ve heard you get used to jail too.
The crux is the realization of the absurdity of (unrealistic) expectations. Those who figure it out early are able to find balance. But those who succumb to it generally end up hating themselves and their research because of how inadequate it makes them feel.

I do agree upon the role Bethe played in Feynman's early career and I think both of us concur that we need more Bethes today.

Firebase is a great solution but...

It's closed source and locks you into Google Cloud.

You can't self host. And since it's pay for use, you can end up with large unexpected bills for a variety of reasons.

It doesn't have full text search.

It doesn't have a relational database.

I'm sure there are more things. Firebase is awesome but it's definitely not the ultimate solution.

I'm begging you to look into how plastic gets into the ocean. It's "recycling" it, not landfill escape.

Additionally, you're missing the entire point - the current problem is primarily how we dispose of plastic which is what I'm trying to help people understand. We could avoid most of what you're talking about if we put forth even minimal effort to contain our plastic waste!

Sure, a counter-factual world where everything runs on abundant solar power should also be a world without plastic, but good luck getting there. As of today we burn fuel and put carbon into our atmospheric well to move shit around, and we do that the least when we use plastic Full stop.

You may disagree, but putting more carbon into our atmospheric and oceanic wells is the #1 problem facing humanity right now by a mile and more plastic is a means to slow the rate at which we are doing that.

I'm glad you care about the environment, but please please please pivot your concerns hardcore to the climate. It may feel like a less solvable problem than plastic (and I know it sucks to care about unsolvable problems), but its 1000x more impactful.

>even humans are found to have more and more micro plastics in our bodies.

Still waiting to read the research on why this is so dangerous. Maybe it is, but show me the data! Meanwhile, I know burning any incremental fuel is very very bad.

And again, don't you think plastic in the ocean subject to constant kinetic energy is much more of a problem than stationary plastic?

>You do know that landfills are not nuclear disposal facilities, right?

You realize plastic doesn't emit gamma radiation, right?

>Nature will process that plastic in unimaginable ways, which will lead to unforseen consequences. Consequences we see today, hence why people want to move away from single use plastic.

Again, we test nukes underground (because we live in the atmosphere not the crust). I agree that 'nature' decomposes plastic, but most 'nature' is in the atmosphere! The thing that we are ruining the fastest and need to protect the most (even though its invisible and humans hate invisible things)!

Ory Keto and Ory Oathkeeper can play together! Ory Keto implements Google Zanzibar, it's basically a service where you can check if "x is allowed to do y". Ory Oathkeeper on the other hand is something which can check for any given HTTP request: who is the user making the request? is the user allowed to make the request? and finally convert all this information into a common format. However, Ory Oathkeeper does itself not make the decision, it uses e.g. Ory Keto to check the permission itself. Hope this makes sense

One of China Internet's best kept secrets is how to design paid memberships that work -- they've experimented with this for 20+ yrs. For example, Weibo (China's Twitter) VIP Membership revenue was $124M in 2020.

Having studied these companies for years, Connie Chan (a16z) observed that leading Chinese membership models have a set of common benefits that they combine and remix in different ways to create a successful paid membership framework.

The four most common components are:

1) a mixture of earned and paid perks

2) an intricate leveling and points system

3) a balance of flexing and functionality

4) partnerships with other companies.

Her latest a16z post explores each of these four elements and how they contribute to a membership ecosystem through gamification as a way to deepen engagement with existing users and turn average users into super users

How to win friends and influence people by dale carnegie. My third read. should be mandatory reading for all people.

Started 'wealth of nations' by adam smith, it's 1281 pages long??? But what ive read so far is brilliantly delivered.

About 1/3rd through "zen and art of motorcycle maintenance", it's not about motorcycles. definitely another mandatory book.

about half way through 'rich dad poor dad' I feel like I already knew this; I grew up poor.

3/4 the way through 'bring up genius' which is polgar sisters' father.

2/3 the way through 'breath' by james nestor. Extremely convincing book, made the change, never going back.

That’s not the standard definition of censorship. From Wikipedia:

> Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient".[2][3][4] Censorship can be conducted by governments,[5] private institutions and other controlling bodies

I can paste more, but if you just google “define censorship” I don’t think there’s a result on the first page that supports your claim.
I was ready to grab my pitchfork after that first comment, but farther down:

>>Some time ago you federated with CyanogenMod. What has changed since then?

>What changed was going through that experience. It seriously degraded the UX for our users and held us back in the development process at many times. I'd estimate that all told, we lost about 6 months to a year of progress. It's something we'll probably never do again, and has fully convinced me that federated protocols are a thing of the past in this world of ours.

That's a pretty reasonable take: we tried it and it hurt velocity too much.

What is wrong with using the word "retarded"? It means slowed down.

I could understand your objections if jesuscript called something/someone retarded, but they explicitly wrote "But you see, Stripe isn’t retarded." I think that whether a word is offensive or not depends on the context in which it is used.

About the article you linked... perhaps I'm mentally disabled, but despite its "Why Use of the R-Word Needs to Stop" title, I was not able to understand why the use of the r-word needs to stop. Would you mind to elaborate?
It sounds more like a series of short queues. So short, that Apple employees are sitting around twiddling their thumbs until the next queue gets long enough that they decide to start working.

If the app isn’t growing faster than infrastructure can be provisioned, these mini queues are just making people wait for no reason.

There's also a confounding factor in pushing yourself to do a lot of videos all at once: you may get some good practice in. Are you getting more views after a few months of consistently publishing videos because you are consistently publishing videos, or because you are getting better at making interesting videos?

I'd still be using mine if the battery (and its replacement) hadn't worn out. I was pretty hard on the battery, using a watch face that updated a lot.

I plan to reluctantly get a Pixel Watch. It's the first Android Wear watch since the Moto 360 that looks decent. Still way too thick though and still with a garbage outdated SoC (which wouldn't matter if the software was efficient like Pebble, but...)
You Are Probably Not a Contractor
You can start out by adding purposeful pauses. At the end of a point you want to really hit hard, build in to your script you literally standing there and just thinking “pause,pause,pause,pause”. Then you get more comfortable doing it and can add it in with differing lengths where needed. Eventually with work you’ll start replacing ums with pauses.

Also, purposefully slowing down can help since you likely talk too fast when nervous anyway.
Who built the railroads? J. P. Morgan, or the millions of people who worked for him?

WhatsApp says they are encrypted. Some reading tells me there is a loophole if a message is flagged - it's then sent for moderation and no longer encrypted. A hell of a loophole. But loopholes aside, WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted and, without being flagged, messages are not vulnerable to real-time searches by law enforcement.

If I'm wrong (very possible!) please explain exactly what I have wrong here.

This is what the other side of a hiring blitz looks like. On the ascent, company after company speculatively hired extremely expensive workers - because the surface economic signals were misleading people who should have known better. There was so much money to throw at employees that offers were being extended just to keep candidates away from competitors.

This went on so long and with such fury that employees, candidates, and CS students began to view the orgy of overspending as the new normal.

Now a normalization of economic conditions throws the entire thing into reverse. Too many fresh-faced candidates showing up with resume in hand, too many workers on payrolls doing little to nothing for wages 3-10x what they should be, too little revenue to continue business as usual, and a stock market that pulled the rug out from public companies using shares as a form of self-printed currency.

Ask HN: In-depth details about digital marketing
I have a side project that is getting serious traction, to the point that I am now considering how to make it a proper business.

It requires good marketing. And so I wonder : should I pay a digital marketing company, or should I try to do it myself? I lean towards the latter, but wonder if I am missing something.

To answer that question, I need to understand in depth what is digital marketing.
My understanding so far is that it is:

- Website design

I feel this is not too hard, and might not warrant paying a company for that

- Making sure my website is highly ranked via SEO methods.

There are many guides on good SEO, so does a digital marketing agency really provide serious value there?

- Creating appealing videos

I have some skills for that, and I feel I could hire freeelancers that could do the job more cheaply. In other words, this seems to me an easy area for me to measure the output

- Create social media communications (twitter, facebook, instagram posts).

Is there a secret sauce here? Or is it mainly about communicating often wiht engaging visuals?

Is there any other important task that I am missing, or am I missing a critical aspect of some tasks?
HTTP/1.1 is not obsolete -- HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 preserve basically all semantics.
HTTP/1 is better than 2 and 3 in many cases, e.g. when you cannot afford the complexity like in tiny embedded devices, or when you just need to bootstrap a WebSocket, or you don't need TLS.

HTTP/1.1 will be obsolete when intranets and tiny devices are obsolete. Well, it looks like that could become true...
Yeah my take on this is that the only appropriate response is a thank you from top level leadership and serious consideration of your heroics when it comes time for salary adjustment.

A thank you without a gift is way less insulting than a thank you with a paltry or trivial gift.

I loved the Pebble and went to the first developer conference. They treated devs right.

Then I moved to Microsoft Band, Microsoft Band 2, FitBit Charge, Fitbit Ionic, Fitbit Versa, Fitbit Sense, and now on FitBit Sense 2 (definitely a big leap forward).

I view Pebble as a huge success, even if it wasn't an immediate financial windfall for the team, as they pioneered something critical for humans.

Yes and no. Economics involves the trade of real Goods or real value. It also involves a psychological level based on expectation and predictions. There's a constant dance trying to align the latter with the former.
Meta's meltdown was a couple of decades in the making. Way too long in my opinion --- it should have crashed and burned right after takeoff.

You want me to give Facecrook all my most personal info so they can abuse it for profit while targeting me for "engagement" (aka, a steady diet of selected "news" filled with hate and outrage targeted at my psychological profile)? And all I get out of it is the ability to flaunt myself to my friends? Really?

This was the dumbest idea since bottled water. It's impossible to overestimate the stupidity of "normal" people.
I hear you. But maybe AI shouldn't even be in the equation. It's expecting a robot to solve a people problem. We try to do this a lot in the technology industry. But no matter how great technology is, it's a mistake to think that it can fully solve social and communication problems.

Pressing X to doubt. Many of these companies did layoffs during the pandemic (like Lyft) - which in many cases were just an excuse to cull low performers - then just continued to grow at insane paces. Even these layoffs just put them back at pandemic-level figures.

Ask HN: Bank Account Validation Using Real-Time Payments (RTP)?
(Disclosure: I’m at Increase (https://increase.com). I’m suggesting you use us to build something I want.)

There should be a tool to validate US bank account numbers using the Real-Time Payments (RTP) network.

To verify US account control today you have two options:

- Use a platform like Plaid or Finicity, where an account holder provides their bank login details and the platform ~synchronously scrapes the bank’s website.

- Send the account holder micro-deposits (typically via ACH, which takes a day or two) and have them confirm the amounts.

There are additionally concepts like submitting an image of a voided check or using confirmation notes.

We should have a service that validates US bank account details using RTP. It can be synchronous and it wouldn’t involve providing a username and password.

This maybe hasn’t happened already because RTP is a relatively new network (but covers ~61% of US depository accounts[0]) and hasn’t had great APIs. We’ve recently built an integration, so we can help with the API piece.

If you’re interested, I’d love to chat! I’m at darragh@increase.com.

Alternatively, we keep a waitlist here: https://increase.com/

(Known bug that we don’t have open sign-ups; we’re furiously working on it.)

Do you want your life to revolve around whether or not you can keep the lowest common denominator entertained for 10 minutes at a time? Spending (maybe) hours and hours of your life every week doing nothing but video editing?

If the answer is, "no" then you're never going to be "a YouTuber" (that makes enough money to live from your channel).

I highly recommend doing what I do: Post videos because you want to help people, not entertain them. Also, every now and again I'll post a video just because making videos can be fun but it's fun for me... Whether everyone else has fun with it is mostly irrelevant :)

If I make a few bucks from my tutorial videos about how to make an analog hall effect keyboard that'd be nice but really, I made them so I could point people to the video series to save myself a lot of time explaining things in chat messages. If enough people use those videos to gain that skill maybe we can move the world off of electromechanical switch technology (aka "cave man switches") some day.
No. A DCMA takedown is your lawyers contacting their lawyers and saying that you're invoking a law which forces them to immediately take something down or risk severe legal ramifications. Isn't it better to reach out without invoking a DCMA and see if the other party is willing to cooperate first?
