This was not an attempt to trivialize anyones experience. Im a non English native immigrant surrounded by immigrants. People are free to feel different about the topic.

It doesn’t change reality: if you’re going to allow yourself to be distressed by the occasional mispronunciation of your own name, in a world with so many different languages and cultures, then the level of your mental development is such that most of life’s actual hardships will seem completely out of reach.

Imagine such a person having to speak with a customs agent in another country, or going to the DMV, or doing something difficult, like filing their taxes. Even the most basic of human interactions would be distressing.
When we calculate inflation do we calculate this factor? That a product has become more expensive to buy, more expensive to maintain, more expensive to run and you have to pay for features you used to get as part of the product purchase.

As a coincidence, I read this person's and some of his "comrades" wikipedia pages. The impression I got at the time was that being a communist was what sent him to prison.
I think the best ones were the ones that didn’t just cheap out and draw Peanuts characters (which, to be honest isn’t that hard) with a “Happy Birthday Sparky.”

I think Gil Thorpe was the one that I was most surprised that I liked it. Dick Tracy also gets bonus points for drawing Snoopy, Woodstock and Charlie Brown in its own style.
He still got 3.4% of the vote. That's pretty amazing, especially from prison.
Look up the FuFeng project where a Chinese company is trying to purchase land in North Dakota for an agriculture project near a US Air Force base. The city of Grand Forks even approved it but people are still trying to fight it because of national security risk.

Indeed it is. What Alexa can do today was science fiction 20 years ago. I can say "Alexa, order Earl Grey tea" and a package of Earl Grey tea will show up on my front door step tommorow. Yeah, its slower than a Star Trek replicator but essentially the same thing.
There is a tradeoff between people not wanting to pay much and just looking for some fairly generic skills on one hand--and people looking for specific skills, particular experience, and for someone with a given track record that one or more on the hiring team have had personal interactions with on the other.

Put another way, if you're just looking for junior with keywords that's one thing but means you're just a number. But you may be looking for specific individuals with a track record which, given the right match, may be good but you need the right match.

I just got blindsided two weeks back from the best job I've ever had. Not looking forward to the search (taking December off to get married) as I have extreme anxiety when it comes to live coding, and I cannot figure out why. Even basic SQL queries escape me when somebody is watching. I've always been fantastic at test taking so take home assignments or leetcode type tests I can do, and hell, even putting together a presentation of a project I've done and presenting is fine. Just that live coding portion that always sucks.

It was less about the taxes, and more about the fact that Britain banned the import of tea by any other country.

These days, we have plenty of monopolies that probably deserve similar treatment (or anti trust actions), so the schools don't teach that part of the story.

Believe it or not, big cities have pretty good quality of life and people who live there do actually have friends and social lives.

I grew up in the suburbs, and I've lived in big cities, urban areas in medium sized cities, and exurbs as well.

The cities aren't as different as non-urban people think. But also, they're better in a lot of the ways that most people would expect: more things to do, better food, better shopping. The only real downsides in my mind are less affordable real estate and higher local particle pollution.

By far my least favorite lifestyle of those choices was in the exurbs/rural areas. Incredibly boring, isolated, and it's not as quiet and tranquil as one might expect (you're probably near a highway where jake brakes are allowed or a 55 MPH country road).

Believe it or not, city areas seem to have better quality park space (because what most people who aren't into hardcore nature consider to be "a nice park" is usually quite heavily designed and built).

And, oh yeah, cities are where the jobs are.
What imperialism, what colonialism are you talking about? Investing in infrastructure, roads, railroads, schools and commerce that benefits the lives of millions in a continent that was savaged by European powers? Europeans only brought wars, bombs, genocide, enslavement and pillage to Africa. China brings railroads and commerce that increase the standard of living. How can westerners be so blind to the fact that they are the problem and that other countries want to have mutually beneficial relationships with them rather than invade and enslave their people?

> I am of the generation and mindset that online abuse is not real. Straight up. Log out, turn off the screen and watch Netflix, take a walk and calm down, block the offending user. It's not real.

Until people can pierce the veil of your pseudonymity (which isn't all that hard depending on the platform and the person) and it isn't just online abuse and harassment anymore. "Tied to your real name" includes "tied to enough information about you that someone with plenty of free time can sift through various databases and piece it together" and most people have absolutely no idea how many such databases there are, and how much piecing someone can do.

I'll say something tangential: Even if we both agree that one-off assholes are largely inconsequential, and I think we do, such assholery has a broken window effect on a platform, where people see all the assholes running free and decide that it's either a place for them to be assholes or a place they should stay away from to avoid assholes.

I'm not just taking it in isolation for no reason. If you have static linking, you basically have HTTPS by consequence.

None of the matches I saw for dang were me - but I think in this case the matcher was mostly picking up accounts that post a lot of links to past HN threads.
Why did they only focus on hardware/software control and totally miss the digital assistant line. Do you remember Bonzibuddy? Everyone seemed to love that, but Alexa has no equivalent. Also, those hologram AI displays been out in japan for a decade, and nobody made a US version for Alexa. https://www.gatebox.ai/en

I couldn't see using an echo when I had my phone/pc that does everything.

Now an entry into the home could have been a digital assistant on the PC, Hologram, tv or app. So many ideas for profit streams, open API for 3rd party digital assistants with fees attached, alexa tv's running an app with a visual digital assistant, run the app on a tablet and see a digital assistant.

Even if it was a novelty, a little animated person standing on the countertop is way more interesting than speaking to an echo.
White mentions a few times that Holmes' dubious contributions to Court precedent have since been obsoleted. What specifically changed?
Not particularly crazy. Doesn’t seem like the Total Compensation for this person will change dramatically, although it’s worth nothing that different companies have different philosophies on how the package is structured.

What’s salary, what’s a performance-based annual bonus in cash, what’s equity-based compensation and within that what’s granted upfront and what’s performance-based and granted annually, what’s the signing bonus, etc. Vesting schedules also can differ somewhat dramatically (the Amazon offers as one example are very backloaded), some companies have a history of pricing in assumed growth in equities, there are lots of moving parts (some of which are employee-favorable, like pricing on-hire awards on a Trailing 50d Average; some of which are more employer-favorable like assuming 15% annual appreciation in equity price).
I agree with you. But such turns are not at all rare and acceleration still improves your safety if you find yourself in that situation.
I manually determined there was an individual posing as two people (playing both the antagonist and the adversary) because they consistently misspelt certain words such as "definitely" as "defiantly".

Fingerprinting certain linguistic traits and mapping that to time-zones as well as confirming there is a partial overlap in posts but never exact worked exceedingly well. Someone can't easily maintain a fluent conversation between themself on two accounts, but they can either get close, either through unnatural delays between sentences or just never interacting with the "other" party at the same time.
One time I thought it might be cool to teach homeless people how to code. It wasn't clear to me if that was a useful approach but it seemed like it might be interesting.

I wanted to see if anyone else had tried it so I searched on YouTube and found a video where someone filmed themselves with the same idea.

Most of the video was them politely asking dozens of homeless people if they would like to learn, offering to pay them for their time. Most said no. Maybe they passed on a good deal here? Maybe it was a waste of time?

Eventually they find this guy and he is skeptical but he says yeah sure. They teach him the basics. For loops, if statements, variables and stuff like that. Then they pay him and that's it. The end of the video. I wish they would have kept up with him and tried to help him get a job next. But again who knows might not even be a good path anyway.

My point is, and my takeaway from that video. Even if you have a good deal, and a lot of times we don't even know if we have a good deal exactly. You have to ask dozens maybe hundreds of people before you find someone who is interested.

I think you can cheat this by going to places like SV where there are more founder types. But it mostly just opened my mind about being more willing to be rejected and approach more people rather than ponder why the 3 or 4 people I had asked weren't interested in starting a company or whatever else it might be.
I got "Install the NuGet package manager on a Mac" which I'm still not sure is ridiculously infeasible or the kind of hack somebody might actually manage to pull off. Definitely HN-worthy if they manage it!
The government can enforce rules against discrimination and religion doesn’t mean you get a free pass from laws you don’t like.
I have a really hard time pronouncing words that are not within the standard set I use in most day to day. In some cases, someone can say the word or name to me and i cannot reproduce it. I also can’t hear differences or reproduce many music tones. If you play a few notes, I can’t hum them back. I suspect the part of my brain used in sound identification and reproduction has a very low “iq” relative to the average.

I find it pretty stressful when I’m meet someone with an uncommon sounding name, as I worry they will take offense and I really don’t know what to do. I practice the names offline in the hopes of learning them.
The various subreddit simulator subreddits are a decent amusement.
As of now, https://elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-postgresql says $0.01/month and their CLI as of Wednesday also said that. Of course, this feels like a weird workaround until December 1 since they also say that's when they're going to saying charging for it.
It's a bunch of Visual Basic behind an Excel spreadsheet, that helps you generate gcode directly, rather than via CAD/slicers. That gives a level of control that is awful and wonderful. There are a bunch of youtube short videos with demonstrations.

You're correct in that the only area in the US where governments choose to award contracts in ways that are unrelated to performance is for diversity purposes.

But diversity isn't speech. E.g. if a business is black-owned or female-owned has nothing to do with their political speech/views.

And diversity is a unique case, related to protected classes, having to do with past explicit discrimination against these groups, and trying to remedy that to some small extent.

In any case, it has nothing whatsoever to do with political expression, and therefore nothing to do with the first amendment. And so no, it has nothing to do with left/right either.
It's unfortunate, but I think the reason all smart speakers are failing to bring in profits is because IoT never really took off.

If everything in your house (curtains, standing desk, toilet paper roll holder, etc) was a connected device, think about the automations that Alexa could enable. Ask Alexa to auto raise your desk just before meetings start, to notify you if the toilet paper on the holder is getting low, and so on. Amazon could easily get creative with charging for these conveniences.
I think question 1 is very valid.

I'm not a fan of 2. I'm definitely in the camp of -- one of the most irresponsible things ever created was third-party password managers. I'm fully aware than capitalism isn't a fan of "sorry, but this is hard and you should just learn it.."

But passwords and security on computers is hard and you should just learn it, at least at this stage.

It is THEORETICALLY is possible to have a world wherein password security is made easier for the user -- but it's not viable until you somehow bring in skin-in-the-game for the third party who's taking on the responsibility, e.g. liability or lawsuits or some other real actual punishment for the third party that screws up.

You misunderstood what I was saying. What I meant was that lying and manipulating are generally considered objectively bad by most people. However, that behavior is considered normal in corporate cultures. It's even part of the job if you're in marketing or sales!

And no, I won't stop judging large groups of people who's jobs are built on deception. And I won't stop judging people who are naturally drawn to those jobs. I've had enough of this whole system and I'm done apologizing for saying negative things just because these behaviors and jobs are normal.

> This will probably result in a chain of homeless people

Countries with Freedom to Roam laws have homeless people, too. What you describe has not happened.

> stay in your backyard for three days

Again, FUD about “your backyard”. Do you have a 250,000 sq. ft (2.24 hectares, 5.5 acres) back yard? Also, Freedom to Roam laws usually restrict camping to at most two nights, sometimes one night only.
Why do you assume that every country wants to colonize and subjugate the world, like the British did, and the USA has done during the 20th century? Yeah, let's stop Western hegemony, and the only way to do that is to have a multipolar world. There should not be a single country (or group of countries, such as NATO and its allies) that controls the entire world and imposes its will with an iron fist, bombing, invading, and assassinating whoever they want.China is a new force in the world, a force for good that actually doesn't invade or bomb other countries, that improves the lives of billions of their own citizens, and that is trying to build relationships of mutual benefit with Africa, Asia, and South America.

In psychology, there is a term where you blame others for what you do; it is called projection. The West should stop projecting its own imperialism onto others.
> I've long captured this by saying that a society based around the individual is a contradiction.

I don’t personally seen the contradiction here. Mutualism is orthogonal in many ways to individualism. Even the lone hermit had parents, acquired the basic skills form somewhere, and probably uses some tool(s) made by others.

Individualists can take on any number of voluntary social obligations. The ability to exit destructive obligations is a safety valve, and makes the carrying out of those obligations more meaningful in some ways.

Narratives, customs, culture, and shared interests all bind people regardless of their place on the scale of individualism to collectivism.
It's been a long time since I last looked at golang, but the first time I met it, I instantly disliked the way it imposed its own idea of filesystem organization onto the user. I wanted to run a Heartbleed checker, and instead of being able to clone the repository into a new subdirectory inside my ~/projects and compiling and running from there, like I would do for projects written in any other language, the go compiler required that the project was cloned into a global centralized path, where all projects written in golang would end up, mixed together without any separation.
Their goal is to create cost predictability and ensure things are budgeted for. It's about reducing risk and locking in cost. In some cases, if the cost is discretionary, people may also want to ensure they spend their budget so it isn't cut. But in the >10k MRR territory usually that is budgeted for and approved through multiple levels and not coming out of a team budget. Going back to ask for more later is too time consuming.
In this time of too much complexity in apps and user-interfaces it is great that Alexa allows you to accomplish some simple things simply: Alexa play some jazz. Alexa set alarm in 10 minutes.

Those are the two simple things Alexa is good at. Then I also pay for Amazon Music. I don't know if the Amazon profits counts in profit from Amazon Music but without Alexa I would not be be paying for Amazon Music .

Correct. Anytime an exchange becomes insolvent, some number of people end up losing everything - just by trying to onboard their money into the system (even if they plant to move it to hardware wallet ASAP). By your own admission, there is often even a mandatory waiting period here.

The point being: “good. not your keys not your coins” is not an appropriate response to exchange insolvency, and further makes you sound like a complete asshat. “just avoid the insolvency window!” is better advice (edit to add an explicit “/s” on this last sentence. Dunno what is with these downvotes).
