If you’re on HN long enough you should know of a superior protocol called Nostr that doesn’t tie your identity to Federated servers.

By tying each individual to a server you are allowing cancel by association culture. Individuals should not be put in left/right buckets (or any other buckets) and have that association be used to censor/exclude them. The structure of the Fediverse encourages in/out groups. That’s why it sucks, and that’s why giving individuals the power over their own identity will be the future of social.

I'm in the process of moving my Discover HYSA balance to this. Going to take a few days for them to do verification transactions, but I've moved some of my savings from my normal savings over since why not.
I did a lookup and a lot of places refer to what called “K4” as “Pre-k”. Where I grew up I had preschool and then K4 and then K5.

My son started preschool at 2.5. I guess anywhere between 2.5 and 3 is typical here. Then pre-k at 4.
Thank you! I am mainly interested in longevity, but maintaining both biological youth and a youthful appearance would be ideal.
"but how will we fund content creation!"

If I'm being honest, most "content" I've come across on the web doesn't deserve to be funded and its creators are better served creating something else if they're looking to be compensated.

people will create because they want to create

What great content I have come across is usually created within a similar ethos to FOSS. People know they've learned a great deal from others in the past and want to pay it forward, or they want to share something with the world to see how others might iterate upon it.

if the content is actually good, people will be willing to pay for it--probably even if not forced to do so: lots of content creation is being funded by donations right now

I've also seen great content from people connected to a patreon, so there is definitely room for compensation, if the content is good enough.

How do grandchildren afford park hopper tickets, streaming services, season passes, or vacation clubs? My oldest grandchild is 7 years old for reference.
Some things I've learned in electronics: switches are noisy. They bounce. People will advice all sorts of things, like decoupling caps. I've applied these (artisanally) and they never make a difference (for switches) but schmitt triggers do. It was only after I looked at a switch with an oscope that it made sense, the noise is almost never due to coupling, and almost always bounce that causes the problem (assuming you're already pulling up/down the switch).
The Progressive Caucus is clearly a wing of the Democratic Party, which is neoliberal. They occasionally challenge the party line, but never successfully. That's what primaries are for.

That said, there are many American progressive movements that are not neoliberal. Just not in power.
Mostly agree... though I don't think the bootcamps get enough fundamentals in. Not to mention that it takes the type of person that will go above and beyond what has been assigned to succeed trying to be a productive employee in the space. I'm self-taught and the first years of my career spent countless hours reading, practicing and solving problems. I still spend a good 10-15 hours a week reading and exploring software development and try to at least keep up with what's out there. In the end, the best you can do is be aware of what, or even that options are out there.

I can't imagine starting out today...

>In Diamond v. Chakrabarty, the Supreme Court found that Congress intended patentable subject matter to "include anything under the sun that is made by man." ... However, the Court also stated that this broad definition has limits and does not embrace every discovery. According to the Court, the laws of nature, physical phenomena, and abstract ideas are not patentable.

>"something that makes light from electricity"

So yeah probably too abstract to be patentable. However something like "something that makes light from electricity by passing it through a filament" might be enough to make it not abstract.

I'm going to disagree with you, because decent deep-cycle lead-acid batteries can last very well, and they are very much cheaper than LiFePO4. https://youtube.com/watch?v=LPPUqLZOqCQ is the video that persuaded me, even if he does ramble on a bit.

LiFePO4 age by elapsed time more than cycle count, so after 10 years they will be reaching the end of their useful life regardless of how much you have used them. Lead-acid age by cycle count more than elapsed time, so you could have a battery last well longer than 10 years if you treat it well.

I'd note that lead-acid batteries are divided into deep-cycle batteries that have are designed for longevity and basic batteries that are optimised for peak supply current (for vehicle starter motors). Use a deep-cycle battery, otherwise yes it will die very quickly.

I'd argue that if you're in a part of the world that has unreliable sunlight, such that you want to store say 4 days of energy but rarely actually use it all, then lead-acid is a perfect fit, because you just buy lots of storage at a cheaper price than LiFePO4, and that regime automatically treats the batteries well.

If you're in a part of the world where sunlight is reliably every day and you only want to buy enough battery to last a single night, then I can see that LiFePO4 may be a better option. But I'd still be inclined to buy several days of lead-acid instead. If you want to charge your batteries from cheap early morning grid power and effectively cycle twice a day, then LiFePO4 is definitely the better option.

The other thing that is nice about lead-acid batteries is the recycling rate - they are very easily recyclable and very highly recycled. I don't think we're there with LiFePO4 yet.

Agree with the user base portions. My parents (in their 80's) each have 3 android phones because my dad keeps buying them for some reason. We never know which of their phones/features are currently active. My mom wasn't getting my texts and we just figured out that she doesn't have texting enabled. Not sure if it's a setting or that my dad picked a 90 day phone plan without text support. :-)

Agreed. But USING data of your transactions and your third party apps to refine your profile is not spying?

Both is done for the sake of understanding who you are in order to sell ads to you.

Is one "spying" and the other "a little bit of spying"?
I suppose it depends on your definition of civilisation. I agree that emotionally the quote conveys a laudable sentiment but technically, it would probably be more correct to state the opposite i.e. that civilisation began with slavery. As the beginnings of civilisation are usually correlated with the the beginnings of agriculture and agriculture, arguably, created the demand for workers which allowed slavers to flourish.

I guess it depends on the interest of the parties concerned.

Google (or other company) wants to bring you a result that's more likely to generate revenue for them.

Not every jurisdiction allows computer programs or algorithms to be patented.

Having said that, a jurisdiction such as the US that allows software to be patented, already doesn't require source code as part of the patent application/regsitration/grant process.

Good luck trying to invalidate every active software patent existing as on date with this clause. Ain't gonna happen!

Yeah, YouTube definitely has a role to play here. I've heard about people getting copyright strikes for contesting unfair takedowns, even when logically that should fall back to the DMCA system and the claimant should be ready to put their money where their mouth is (aka sue over it).

Sites like YouTube and Twitch (and Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc) are completely uninterested in following the law in any reasonable manner, and would rather fold the second they get any corporate pressure rather than let the parties settle it themselves.

Notice how independently hosted sites covering the same material (including major news sites) are often completely unaffected by these issues, since even companies like Nintendo realise how shaky their legal case might be if they tried to pursue it.

I can understand not wanting to build an app yourself, but when you hold a monopoly on internet video and you won't allow your platform competitors to build an app on their own dime, that really should have triggered antitrust action.

If anything, Google has been too aggressive.
WhatsApp is pervasive in France, where I live.

I have resisted installing it from the start. Of course I felt some pressure about this.
People never built the expectation I had WhatsApp. I never stopped advocating against it (in a nice way, without blaming people).
Now, more and more people have been installing Signal and now I can have group discussions again.

We are many who don't like Facebook. If enough of us resist, WhatsApp will stop being so pervasive and "mandatory".

It has happened in my social circles. There's no drawback anymore for me to not having WhatsApp. When there was, I still had a fulfilling social life, with as many friends, or even more, than average. I was still invited to events, I was still able to organize events, etc.

If people like you, they'll reach you. Having WhatsApp is just convenient, not a determining factor.

Most people now understand that privacy is an important topic and will cope with you not having WhatsApp, or even embrace your action.

The world needs you to become better. Of course it's not easy. But it's not inevitable.

Again, WhatsApp might (still) be mandatory to you today. Okay! You are stuck with it for now. Fine. I understand. But do something about it! Advocate for something else! You can do it gently without pissing people off (which would be the best way to fail convincing them anyway)

If nobody does anything about it, we are stuck with Meta.

The OP uses the derivative of sin to find the derivative of arcsin. My point was that the other way round is sort of natural as well. Thought I'd share.

The broader point is that you can obtain all the classic definitions and identities of the elementary functions [1] by combining only (i) the four arithmetic operations, (ii) integration, and (iii) taking inverses of functions (iv) the constants 0 and 1. I guess that's a bit cool.

This works fine over the real numbers. Over the complex numbers, this might require Riemann surfaces to work. e^z in complex analysis is usually defined by its Taylor series, instead of as the inverse function of the natural log (whose domain is actually a Riemann surface).

I was open to you offering a counterpoint to this perception that you’re unilaterally broadcasting to everyone, not just me.

But you can skip that part how about this:

I do not speculate on who the owners of a private company are and I don’t advocate for that. typically for marketing reasons they blast their public facing team and investors all over crunchbase for vanity.

as the article states, it is common for non-consumer facing investment firms and holding companies to have no information available to the public.
Adult and Gambling have different compliance requirements with banks and payment processors, some outright don't allow dealing with these types of content/marketplaces (have a look at Stripe's T&C as an example). Apple and Google would rather not get into these markets than dealing with the legal complexities, this is the reason they are blocked. If they were doing it for the good of the users they would have just blocked them for underage users.

> is there any reason not to just move over completely? Technically Betterment is not a bank, but it sounds like these cash accounts are backed by accounts at banks

There is some small risk that if betterment folds, those funds aren’t protected. It’s afaik never been really tested in court. FDIC would protect only the underlying bank - not betterment. It’s a very small risk though. But a real bank doesn’t have that risk.

A lot of these small investment companies like betterment or wealth front are on pretty shaky financial grounds - so it could come up sooner than expected.

You lost me when you started arguing that a corporation's opinion on whether something is beneficial to their sales and marketing should have any bearing whatsoever on what someone is allowed to publish.

You also clearly didn't watch the video. A youtuber shows a modded game being run on an emulator, he's adhering to publicly posted policies on what they consider to be fair use, Nintendo went out of their way to be retaliatory (issuing two separate copyright strikes instead of one, and then when he emailed them asking to resolve the situation, did not respond but instead issues dozens more takedowns...including one of him just playing the regular, unmodded game.)

If you want to see extreme examples of this: "ag-gag" laws in the midwest states where there are criminal penalties for disseminating video from slaughter houses that counters the industry's marketing efforts that portray the process as humane and painless, when the process is neither, and in fact employees go out of their way to be abusive to the animals.

Taking down news videos where someone uses a dorF G-350 pickup truck to ram a bunch of pedestrians, because it might look bad for their company?

Google's whole raison d'être was internet computing - computing at scales never before seen. Think "BigFiles" and the original Google search. They were able to leverage that technology in creating AdSense, which is their huge money-maker. Google's challenge has been finding ways to monetize their internet compute technologies. But now that it's 25 years later and more and more people have internet-scale computing available to them it appears Google is losing their edge. What used to be their "special sauce" has now become a commodity. It's a story as old as business.
In this hypothetical, Apple would agree to take Facebook funds to preinstall the app.

Otherwise I think you may be confused on what sideloading is.
An alt-store stands to capture more value on iOS than Android, and spying on iOS users is probably a whole lot more lucrative than spying on Android users.

That, combined with the App Store restricting spying more than the Play Store does, is why we can't necessarily expect the iOS ecosystem to behave the same way as Android's, were iOS to get similar side-loading capabilities. A common argument goes that nothing will change on iOS, because it hasn't on Android, but the two markets are different enough that I don't find that a strong argument. Maybe it'll turn out to be right, but I don't think it's as much a slam-dunk argument as those advancing it seem to think it is.
Why would the technical solution that solved the privacy issue not still solve it just because it is now sideloaded? It’s not like the sandbox will suddenly get disabled for sideloaded apps..
