what about people that dont pay taxes i.e. every other chinese, saudi, indian, russian, EU and LATAM millionaire that owns several properties in miami, orlando, nyc, LA, dallas, houston, phoenix, etc.

What about banks and REITs that are passthru entities for the same folk above ?

What about SV out-of-staters that don't pay state taxes but work remote at places like LV, Salt Lake, or Boise ?

You want to fleece your own... but others you let just... walk in ?
I mean, you already probably know this, but the risk profile of a startup that fails is not that you keep your money constant. It’s that you’ve been spending it all on rent and utilities for the last 7 years and have nothing to show for it. You’re still gambling away your savings, at a much slower and controlled rate, and the house at least doesn’t have the advantage over you, but it’s still incomparable to the risk profile of a 9-to-5.
There's no issue with the WireGuard® implementation aside from the fact that the author of WireGuard®, Jason Donenfeld, didn't like that it wasn't a straight port of his code, but was instead a new implementation based on the WireGuard® protocol paper.

He never articulated any reasons about what might be wrong with it aside from vague handwaving. The implementation actually works well.
I'm not sure I'd want people who worked for a company that was currently suing me entering my business either.
Of course it's a zero sum game - the reward is coming from the tuition people pay. Disadvantaged students end up sponsoring the advantaged ones.

2022-11-21 "Musk antagonist George Hotz hired to fix Twitter search – he’s got 12 weeks" (several HN discussions back then https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33723257) That was 26 days ago. Not sure when he started, so maybe 3 weeks? I scrolled his Twitter timeline and can't see him posting anything substancial what his work was like, his obsticals, photos from the office or such.
Docker volumes on macOS are slow and how to fix it
Author here, the article is a very detailed journey about the docker internals till the current actions you can take to improve the performance. You’ll find custom made diagrams (Excalidraw), live terminals (Asciinema) and some gif repo made to run the tests. Let me know if you like it.
And the solution that's been arrived on is robbing women more fundamentally of any choice at all about what kind of life they will live. I think we're better off with the risk that maybe some people will wish they'd tried motherhood earlier than the alternative.
I would say NetNewsWire or any RSS reader.

The idea of having all news (Youtube, Twitter, blogs etc.) centralized in one app saved me a bunch of seconds every day looking for new content.
SOC2, yes.
Not to be an a-hole, but responses like this are why me and others are like “ok well I’ll give it a shot to explain the angle” and then regret doing it.

That’s a lot of details and context beyond “crypto is just a proxy for tech stocks,” but usually that seems to be the flavor of the response one will get after going out in a limb to engage in dialogue.
Because going public is the only way for most shareholders (including most employees) to sell shares.

Don’t ask me why startups are designed this way.

It’s dumb.
> Taxes pay for schools and ongoing infrastructure maintenance, as well as services, like trash collection.

> Do you like having drinkable water in your house and not having piles of trash on the sidewalks

At least here, taxes don't pay for either of those things.

Water is billed by the water agency and trash collection is a private company with their own billing.
Ask HN: Android OS with regular security patches
A while ago someone posted an Android distribution with regular security patches, even after devices stopped getting LineageOS maintenance.

The default is kind of like using top result of a search as the owner then? But I guess you want to count the number of real people who "favourite" a name > hash mapping.

You would need a consistent "easy" name as well at some point though, like a bank for example, can't use a name that could one day change for people who haven't bothered to default it.

Another issue might be names for the smaller, but very long tail of the internet, which would be open for abuse. For example a name could come and go with a social media post that gains traction, which would far outweigh the regular traffic for a name.
You mean like a RPi 4 with one of the RPi touchscreens?
Yes - sorry - my point was more that Stanford IS IN a former colony and should know better on some of this stuff (not that Florida isn't a former holding etc.)
> AlternativeTo is a pretty shallow platform

I've found AlternativeTo to be the complete opposite of shallow. In most cases its pretty precise in exhaustively listing every viable software alternative, which abundant filter options. Even if the ordering is "biased" (which I haven't really encountered), the site is quite useful without having many alternatives itself.

We're getting more and more wild animals as well here in the US, some say it's a good thing, but I originally come from a part of the world where I had packs of stray dogs and chimpanzees literally living on the street, they steal things and sometimes become violent towards people — something the Discovery channel doesn't often show.

I dunno why docs don’t hand out pill organizers like candy. Make life so much easier. Only have to open the pill bottles once a week, and I easily tell if I’ve taken a dose or not. One I bought on Amazon was maybe $6 or something?
Yeah, except we're talking about returning to pre-Covid levels. Not whatever you just made up.

That would imply prices return to the previous levels. That will never happen with inflation.
I went to college in my parent’s dime and skipped well over half the classes I was supposed to attend (some of which because I had intentionally double-booked them). My point is that using attendance as some sort of measure of “merit” is very divorced from the reasons students choose not to attend classes. It can be because they’re lazy and don’t care, but it’s also often (as you mentioned) because they have other things they have to do, or just don’t see the value in attending.

>Well said. The "Drake Equation" is complete and utter garbage. There is no such thing as a "probability" of any of those terms, in the way we normally understand probability, i.e. dice or card games.

I'd say that any result you try to pull from the Drake Equation is "complete and utter garbage."

The value in the Drake Equation isn't in any calculation we might do with it. Rather, it's a way to categorize both the variables necessary for the development of technological civilizations, and our ignorance as to both the value of such variables and variables we don't even know exist (which can be added as we learn more).

In fact, the Drake equation[0] was never intended to be useful as an equation:

The equation was formulated in 1961 by Frank Drake, not for purposes of
quantifying the number of civilizations, but as a way to stimulate scientific
dialogue at the first scientific meeting on the search for extraterrestrial
intelligence (SETI)

What makes social media unhealthy is a the fact the whole thing is a giant marketing exercise. Every company and every individual has their own brands to maintain. Even sites like Reddit have a brand and image to maintain.. with the right memes (whether political talking points or dank images).

It's generally understood that early job offers are higher education killers and borderline pro child labor. I'm not saying this is how think but I find it odd that there are rarely early career people in jobs that were common for young people 20 years ago. Grocery, retail, food service, etc.
One can always look at recently funded startups. Doesn't have to be your own. VC don't necessarily pull back on funding during recessions - using the same reasoning that it is a good time. Starting a new fund can be a problem during that period since many investors become risk adverse.
BetterTouchTools and Karabiner Elements for macOS.

With a swipe of four fingers, I can turn a set of windows into a tiled configuration by "shoving" them where I need to go.

Knowing that I can context-switch immediately and get everything I need on screen, just so, lets me wear a lot more hats than I otherwise could have. There's an argument that I'm able to deliver results at a level as if I had 100 more hours every month!

Bitcoin actually DID take off for payments. The issue is it became too popular and the people in charge of it didn't want to extend the block size limit.

I would use Bitcoin to play poker online because the alternative was using Western Union - which is much more of a hassle.

Because of this issue, online poker sites now use Litecoin, BSV, BCH, etc.

Plenty of people do exactly this. I think one side effect is you wouldn't be as discoverable, if you cared about that. No less than just hosting a blog site of your own, but even that has SEO possibilities.
Fair point. But hasn't SEO blogspam already flooded every inch of the visible part of the internet already? Can't partisans already get 5-10 pundits to write articles advocating a questionable concept to add a veneer of credibility for a couple thousand bucks? I'm not sure what frontiers of the visible part of the internet remain.

It will certainly become more economical to do this sort of nefarious stuff, but I suspect democratizing misinformation production will lead to the development of better media literacy at a rate that outpaces that misinformation drowning out people who are earnests trying their best to find and present the truth.

This, image AI has been a decade in the making already.
Previously it was GANs for facial recognition, for edge detection, ultimately for self-driving. The impact of that on society has been insignificant, so a big overestimation.

Then came transformers, then came combining transformers with diffusions, an innocent little combination, that now becomes a tsunami in image generation. Artists are launching mass protests online in extreme panic and anguish, tsunami-tide of consumer applications are coming each month, many of them extremely profitable and don't even need VC money. This is the long-term impact phase already.

20 years is plenty.

Even if the IP is continuing to be used by the original creators, they can set the "canon" while competition might force them to do a decent job of using the IP in future.

For example, the Matrix. It had definitively entered the cultural meme pool after 20 years. If other creators could make money telling stories from that universe - whether through images, music, video - then the populace at large wanted that content. And if film number 4,5,6 are any good they make money as well.
More pants on head crazy alarmism. Here is a summary of the entire article: "Before, you could get away with using how someone sounded as a proxy for whether they were correct, and sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. Now with AI sometimes it will work less often. Therefore DEFCON 5!!!"
Sorry, can't agree. To me it looks like all these talks about improvement come from the standpoint of more control and dependance on the govt. I lean more towards libertarian values where if you're a citizen of the country you have to be granted a chunk of territory, not rented, granted, for life.

It's about equally unlikely that you'll end up in prison or sued for downloading copyrighted content in the United States, especially if it is PD elsewhere. In fact, if it is PD elsewhere, the chances of your being prosecuted for downloading it approach zero.

Works passing into the public domain have very little to do with people actually getting practically slapped around for downloading them. But they have EVERYTHING to do with creating derivative works. If you create a film based on a book that is PD-US but still copyrighted in the EU, you can expect to get sued.

PD terms also affect legal libraries and archive significantly.
> it's not worded as a friendly suggestion but rather a strict proclamation

Jesus's positive commands ("do this") are consistently aimed at the heart rather than specific outward behaviors. What matters is not the specifics of the good things you do, but the degree to which you're loving God and loving your neighbor from your heart in those actions.

Hence when he saw a poor widow giving only 2 copper coins to the temple treasury (about 1/64 of a day's wages), he said she had given more than all the others, because she had given all she had to live on. My interpretation is that he said this because she was showing a heart that was fully given to God and trusting him completely to provide.
when Sound Blaster came out with SoundFonts and the AWE32 they really made .MID files shine. Old MID files that sounded pretty bad on a previous Sound Blaster or AdLib suddenly sounded amazing.

And you think, wouldn't it be cool if the .MID contained the SoundFont? And... you get .MOD files, which were unfortunately seen as this weird demo scene format but were quietly doing things the music industry had not gotten around to yet. It was MID that would sound identical on any machine you played it on (assuming said machine had PCM playback)

I’m not suggesting anybody is pressured to have children. Only that those who want to have to do so by a certain age, and the among those who do not or who are unsure, some portion of them decide that they do want to when confronted with the reality that they will no longer be able to.

> you're acting as if a woman's value is decreased once she can't have children anymore. That sounds a lot like social tyranny to me.

A woman’s value as a partner would be decreased for anybody who wanted to have children, or who at least wanted the option of having children. The idea that if you want a partner, you’re going to have to attract one, is not a tyranny. There are some people who think that this is tyrannical, for instance the incel community, but they are clearly wrong.
Yep, a 9-5 has no risk, but no upside. In my humble opinion, a startup provides the best "balance" between risk and upside for those of us that come from lower or lower-middle class. I think your 7-year example is a bit contrived, since (barring exceptions like biotech, space, etc.) if you're working on a project for more than 6 months without product-market fit and/or growth, you're doing something wrong.
No, it doesn't mean that at all. Real prices are a function of the ratio between the cost and earnings. If earnings rise faster than cost, real prices fall.

Now, whether or not that's a likely scenario is a separate question, but it is absolutely not impossible and has happened before.
I meant if there are 2 posts that you merge, do you also merge the upvote count (maybe by doing a union on the two sets of upvoters)?
Hmm maybe. If anything, I don’t think it would be killing for competition. Killing a planet is “easy” if you can expend the energy. The risk of accidentally offending another civilization is much easier, offending them to the point of them wanting to wipe you out isn’t that much harder (see Earth History). Thus, it almost makes sense to just wipe out any civilization preemptively.
It's never about the facts for these kinds of people. It's entirely about self-righteousness, rage baiting, public shaming, and controlling others. It's a disgusting and dangerous behavior no matter if it's coming from conservative fundamentalist christians or "woke" liberals. People who actually care about the values these jerks claim to have should be very careful about calling it out whenever they see it in their own ranks because eventually it hurts their cause more than it helps.
This idea is fundamentally at odds with the framework of US jurisprudence. It would require changing the Constitution: namely butchering the 1st Amendment.
