I'll enter the debate.

For those that do admire the reputation of Mercedes for being tastefully done, if they can actually afford the newish model of their dreams, wouldn't it show even better taste to purchase a vintage model instead?

Made back when the company was profiting from selling its own brand of luxury & performance rather than renting it out directly.

Makes you think there must be other designed-in compromises that would never have been acceptable when the executives were still focused (by tradition if nothing else) on making the major purchase itself be as satisfying as possible.

It may be the same company, and technology has certainly advanced, but today's executives themselves are not as advanced as people used to be in previous decades.

This is a plain ordinary decision-making deficiency.

Remember at one time a Mercedes plant was doing extremely well simply manufacturing the vehicles and letting any aftermarket leasing be handled by third parties. Now it's plain to see they're struggling to squeeze the consumer in ways that are simply distasteful compared to higher-class operation under more respectable higher-performance executives in earlier times at the same company.

It's a slippery slope, first you're raking it in simply building luxury homes and selling them for market price. If that's not enough then leveraging what's built by renting out the same asset instead of parting with it is a consideration but it involves a lot more financing arrangements. There's always been more to be made through financial work without having to build anything new, so eventually you reach peak time-sharing.

I like executives and engineers who are effective enough to prosper without any predatory shenanigans, whether financial or not.

That's something I just never developed a taste for.
How come this post is now unsearchable on HN and yet it’s not flagged? I looked over back for about 10 HN frontages pages and it was nowhere to be found. I had to look through my browsing history to get back to it. This is really uncool soft censorship on HN we can’t talk about

Not violent directly perhaps. I agree that letting him speak now won't hurt anyone, physically for sure.. but theft and destruction of wealth is not without consequences, in real life.

If, through my actions, you become financially ruined, I may not have kicked, beaten, or raped you, but is the harm comparable? Is it violence?
I think my critique is somewhat correct in that you seem to suggest that this change was made to allow for expanding the permissions from one product to all products, which I don't think one can derive from the things we know.

I think I was somewhat wrong in that I may have suggested that you said this was the only reason (which you didn't explicitly) and also in that I dismissed that they factually can use these permissions from other products now, i.e., no matter whether it was intended or not, the permissions set for other products is broader now.

Fascinating. thank you for sharing
There's been a shift in our culture over the past century or so (though mainly, I think, since the 1980s) in how we look at the purpose of a company.

It used to be that a fairly normal, mainstream company's purpose and goals were along the lines of "We make a product or provide a service, and doing that well enough/better than our competition makes us decent money."

Nowadays, it seems to be almost expected that the way a company operates is closer to "We are here to make as much money as we possibly can. If that means we have to make a product or provide a service, OK, but that's a necessary evil to the process of making absolutely ungodly amounts of money."

Google didn't get where it was before it went to shit because of greed. They got there because of genuine technical prowess, and a willingness to sacrifice possible revenue to provide an improved experience, with things like the bare-bones main Google page (as compared to things like Yahoo!, Altavista, and Infoseek when Google first appeared, which were laden down with all kinds of crap).

When greed took over, they shifted from the former mindset to the latter, and that's when things really started to go downhill.
If you have a BMI > 35, you should take it absolutely. You will discover quite fast if it works (you will feel fed quicker than usual).

I use this value because a BMI that high will cause without any doubt lingering issues with your body, and reducing it is extremelly important for your health (more than anything)

If you have a BMI between 30 and 35, you can probably do without if you pay attention to what you eat and what you cook. I had a BMI of 32, i cut it down with a sleep schuedule, then later fasted 5 days (under medical control) to understand that being hungry was OK and i did not have to eat something everytime i felt a small tingling, and that helped me not eating between meal. I'm not advocating for fasting, what i mean is that for this BMI (probably sightly lower, i have a weird body type), change in lifestyle can be enough and more important for your health. I started cooking and stuff too.

I understand that sleeping and cooking more is not always possible (it took COVID to take out the 45min commute time in my case), so if you don't have time, you should take medication. It has secondary effect, but being clinically obese does too.

If you have a manageable BMI (to me its 28), i don't think it will have any impact, because eating habit can only do so much without sacrificing too much. The only way i managed to loose weight since i hit 28 BMI is making my metabolism faster, IE high stress situations and sport. I started rock climbing (i'm more of a windsurf guy usually), this helped, i will reach 25 in a month or two. A caveat though: my ideal weight for climbing is now a lot lower than what it was before i started, reaching it would put me at around 22 BMI when i was aiming 25 a year ago.
Yes, but you also seem to know more about the story than the average person. When SBF lies or gaslights, you can see right through it.

Different story for the average listener, who will be listening to most interactions with an open mind and susceptible to whichever person tends to be more charming or persuasive.
Complaining about Twitter still running for their public presence is a testament to how much solid automation and infrastructure the previous SREs put in place than anything. If you look you can find comments about how it is already deteriorating in their ad portal. Complaining about a website being up is like asking what the IT person at your org does all day, and then getting angry when they get fired and things start going down a month later.
To me, the main difference to Twitter seems to be that you have to explicitly go to the "Explore" section to look for trending content, leaving your "default" home timeline chronological.

So if you want to check out what's the current buzz, you can, but you won't unknowingly be missing posts from those you follow (which seems to be the common complaint on Twitter).

This is heavily dependent on location. I receive almost everything in two days or less. It is extremely common to get things the next day or even the same day. I'm in the Chicago suburbs.
What sticks out to me is that it sticks out to you (and the author and so many others besides). I have actually been on food stamps. I never ate so well. Before I had food stamps I was just a typical working poor person. I had never spent as much on groceries as I was able to on food stamps. Food stamps are accepted at regular grocery stores -- the same ones you shop at. You can get anything you want, more or less. It's totally up to you. You can, of course, use them to buy vegetables. In fact, I was a vegetarian the entire time I was on food stamps!

It's just so odd to me as someone who has actually been very poor that according you (and seemingly the rest of the professional managerial class) I was at that time completely without agency. Nothing I did or didn't do was in my control, apparently. I was but flotsam in an ocean of systemic effects. I have to tell you, that's not how it felt to me.

I felt like a person making choices.

Poor people typically know lots of other poor people. I knew a lot of poor people. Some of them made good choices. Many of them made very bad choices. The ones who made good choices are universally doing well 20 years later.

I would not put much trust into some poorly-understood biomarkers, especially ones that have grandiose naming like epigenetic age. The naming alone implies more than I suspect these markers can deliver.

The price is also kinda ridiculous, $70 a day for meals and supplements.

For me it's the fact that they have literally _everything_ on their store.

I'm not going to go out and make 3 different accounts on sites that aren't Amazon, when I could save time and buy anything ranging from auto parts to PC parts to groceries on the same website.

Yes, a lot of it is rebadged Ali junk, but guess what, sometimes that junk actually does the work it's supposed to. If I'm buying a plastic towel hook for the bathroom, I really don't care where it comes from or if it's 50c cheaper on another website.
I stopped at the cost $62.91 / day (vary by geography)
While actually doing the signup is a pain, I just use a “hide-my-email” address and cut it off after I receive the item. And I’d personally prefer to enter my credit card info every time. I once accidentally clicked on the “Yes, sign me up for Amazon Prime today, even though I’ve turned it down literally hundreds of times,” button and they immediately charged my credit card without even an “Are you sure?” Alert. Luckily I was able to cancel and get it refunded relatively easily (after 5 screens of “are you sure?” And “do you want to just pause it for a few months?”).
Reaching for an "extreme" label is the issue here. What you've described in the blog post is lower opportunity costs. That is compatible with but doesn't imply desperation or a lack of alternatives: neither applies to the "revenge" founders or the folks foregoing $200k+ salaries, for example. In fact, both are able to take the risk because of solid-but-not-extravagant alternatives (wealth from prior exit and highly-compensated jobs, respectively). That's what separates both from the VPs pulling down million-dollar comp, who face much higher opportunity costs for the exact same potential reward.

You know I'm a zealot! ... Imagine the day when that network effect is flipped and new projects start with git-bug and spin up a webui to allow the decentralized stragglers to participate.

In the interim, it would be cool if projects on GitHub (e.g.) would run the bridges as an action to keep GitHub issues synced with git-bug commits right in the repository.

EDIT: Of course the above implies we all learn to use git without a central serve too ... Something I'm not ready for either.
I'm not a doctor and this isn't medical advice, but I had extraordinary success with weight loss doing intermittent fasting (8 hour feeding window, 16 hour fasting window) + very low calorie diet (1000 kcal/d) + keto (20g net carbs per day max) + armodafinil as an appetite suppressant.

Like, 'lost 80 pounds in 3 months without exercising' levels of success.

I know there are many unhealthy things about this weight loss strategy, but it would've been even more unhealthy to stay 'morbidly obese', rather than my current state, which is classified as just plain old 'overweight'
Except it actually addresses a serious problem on two fronts

1) reducing the ability to profit off of actions that cause environmental damage thereby aligning the market interest to reduce such actions

2) funding the investment in reversing the damage

whereas your suggestion above is doing literally nothing to help…

This kind of terminology soup speculation isn’t helpful. Don’t muddy the waters when you don’t know enough to add anything of value.
It's usually hidden, so much that I've captured the query string parameter that represents its filter for my country's Amazon.

Fortunately there are few marketplace sellers, so it doesn't annoy me so much compared to Amazon US.
Regarding weather and climate: Those aren't the same thing.

Maybe you could compare it to dice. It's very hard to predict on what number a dice is going to land. But if you throw it a lot of times, you'll eventually start to see the distribution converge somewhere. And when you then take a drill and make a hole in the side of the dice, or glue something to its side or whatever, and then throw it a lot of times again, you'll see that the distribution changes. Also, you can make reasonable statements about those developments. "If I make it heavier on the side opposite six, I think I'll start seeing more sixes, because the side opposite is pulled down more by gravity".
You don't need to be able to predict the short-term outputs of a system to see changes in its long-term trends, and you can absolutely reason about and possibly predict those long-term changes.
I don't think you're using the principle of charity here ("make the best interpretation of a post"). The person isn't complain, he/she is just saying that people will probably return to v1 unless v2 has something impressive to compensate.
It's kind of entertaining watching the same set of ideas be tried in different ways over the years.
And that’s relevant how?

I don’t buy unknown Chinese brands for stuff like that. And that’s getting harder. But that’s a separate issue.
Well now I don’t know what to believe about one more thing…

Iunno, Amazon has last-mile delivery down to a science relatively inaccessible to small sellers.

Maybe with enough time, non-Amazon services will pop up more and more with the same kind of reach.

I think postal shipping is still within reach in USA, but in Canada, the post sees parcels as a profit-centre and are shouting themselves in the foot as their volumes drop.
The stakes change. In a small growth org you need to succeed in doing something to survive. In a big org, you have to not fuck up.

Ironic that hire-purchase / instalment plans are designed to solve this problem but end up making it worse because they're usually only available at predatory rates, due to the huge risk of default.

Lenders and borrowers alike can’t rely on the borrower having a source of income at all.

For most people on a low income, it could be better to be on an even lower income if in exchange that income could be made more reliable. The instability and stress of precarious employment is worse than the low pay.

As an ex-obese person, you and I both know that you don't eat because you're hungry, but because you like it / you're bored / any other reason. Hunger-cutting medicine doesn't help with that.

If you are obese you can easily lose 2 pounds a week just by counting calories. I lost 90 pounds in 7 months despite eating burgers, pizza and sweet stuff whenever I wanted, just less than before. No exercising required either (it's good for your overall health, but almost entirely useless for weight loss).

I have tried Liraglutide, have some sema in the fridge but not had a chance to test it. Both are proper injection pens from Novo Nordisk, expensive as f*ck.

I am one of those that experiences pretty unbearable side effects from it. The rate seems to be much higher than actually reported (something like 20% it seems). Nausea goes away after the first couple of weeks for me, but the lethargy never did, not even after 3 months. And the lethargy is BAD. Like, career-affecting bad. I would literally fall asleep on my keyboard at 4pm.

It definitely was doing the trick though, and if I had ANY energy to go to the gym in the afternoon (which I NEVER did), I could've lost a lot of weight. It just solved the hunger "problem" for me, it made me only eat for sustenance - but at the cost of being constantly tired.

I gave up after 3 months. Did lose a few kilos but the main interesting effect was the change in appetite. And I say change, not suppression, but it affected things like cravings and snacking as well as just making me full faster. I can definitely see why it would work really well for those who tolerate it.

Sema is meant to be better, but most people who have bad sides with lira have the same issues with sema, so I don't have my hopes up.
Eh maybe if you are used to doing it. I always fail miserably and the cable gets ever shorter.

So began an odyssey with Ferguson police, municipal court and city hall that left her with $1,200 in fines that to this day she still doesn’t fully understand. She paid the sum because endless court hearings about the car wore her down.

“I don’t have a lawyer. I’m not a lawyer. It’s me going up against the city of Ferguson when the attorneys won’t help,” Hoskin said this week.

From a NPR story:

Earlier this year, in the series Guilty and Charged, NPR's investigations unit found that the practices in Ferguson are common across the country. The series reported that nationwide, the costs of the justice system are billed increasingly to defendants and offenders, and that this creates harsher treatment of the poor. Because people with money can pay their hundreds or thousands of dollars in fines and fees right away, they are usually done with the court system.

Ah, I see. I love the template idea. I had to look this up just now, but do you mean copy paper? Apparently copy paper is typically a bit thinner and not as bright white. I think my problem may be that I was originally picturing high-end, color quality paper.
