I don't understand what you think GP was responding to. Dropbox isn't distributed. The problem they articulated isn't relevant to the problem solved by ipfs.
You seem either very confused, or to be talking about a different game.
Recently were shopping insurance providers for our brick and mortar business that has a few delivery vehicles, and MANY of the commercial insurers are requiring that their apps be used to monitor employee driving behavior. I hadn't shopped for insurance in quite awhile and was shocked at how prevalent this requirement seemed to be.

You'd hope they also write good code to keep up with the marketing ;)
I was nodding along to everything until they got to the 4th and 5th axioms:

> Integration: ... seeing a blue book is irreducible to seeing a book without the color blue, plus the color blue without the book

What? Why is this taken as a given? This is not at all evident. You could show someone a blue book and then ask them to imagine that same book, but with a red cover instead, and many people would feel perfectly comfortable doing this, having some experience close to actually seeing that red book. If that doesn't straight-up prove this axiom wrong (I personally think it does), then it at least shows that this axiom is not clearly "evident".

> Exclusion: my experience flows at a particular speed—each experience encompassing say a hundred milliseconds or so

Have these people never been bored? Have they never heard of how "time slows down" during a car crash? This is not only non-evident, it's another one that seem patently false if you actually talk to any human beings about their own experiences.
Thank the lord. I'm praying for this.
PayPal “Buy Now” buttons have been broken for a week
Eight days ago, PayPal broke their Buy Now buttons ^[1] for customers who sell electronic goods (i.e. who don't collect shipping addresses).

The error is because they use `eval()` in their JavaScript, which browsers block. So far, they have been unable to fix the issue.

If you are a PayPal merchant using a payment button who sells digital goods, this might be why your payments stopped over a week ago. PayPal support is mostly unhelpful.

A workaround purported in the community forum is to start collecting a shipping address, and set the shipping rate to 0.00.

… you’re mourning SysV init scripts? why?
I suspect that many here will disagree with me on this, but CGI has become so irritating to me -- right in the middle of the uncanny valley -- that it is one of the reasons why I've tended to avoid modern movies. Watching that stuff is like the visual equivalent of hearing fingernails on a chalkboard.

(I know that not all CGI is that way, and I see quite a lot without knowing it's CGI, but most movies have at least some bad CGI in them too).

Could this stuff be the reason why?
Just wait until you hear about the past!

Writing a service file is trivial though
They could just fork the sysv-generator and continue maintaining it.

(Generators are arbitrary programs that generate systemd units at runtime dynamically. Eg fstab-generator parses /etc/fstab and generates .mount units. The sysv-generator generates a .service unit for each sysv init script it finds, and is what is being removed here. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/sysv-genera... )

The topic deals with design that falls out of / away from the "stuff should be easy" approach.

However though they ask the reader to consider Hanlon's Razor - it's clear that the likes of once working support or some public access to governmental department that once worked which after an upgrade was by design even though the new offering is about as clear as mud or inoperative, stupidity can not adequately account for the hot mess. Some of it could be said to be merely dark patterns to push the public from the likes of phone support which requires dedicated staff, yes phone support is more expensive - but only if the preferred support being pushed is some pointless live chatbot or off site really cheap cookie cutter support area.
It's Newsweek, they're the worst at this point. It was fine until 2010, but it fell apart and the branding was eventually bought by "IBT Media" aka The Moonies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBT_Media

> In 2018, IBT Media split into two companies, Newsweek Publishing and IBT Media. The split was accomplished one day before the District Attorney of Manhattan indicted Etienne Uzac, the co-owner of IBT Media, on fraud charges.

To be blunt, Newsweek shouldn't be an acceptable source for HN.

I wasn't familiar with that story, so I read a brief summary. That anecdote mostly predates the modern scientific method, taking place in the 1840s. PNAS, for example, wasn't founded until 1915, and double-blind testing didn't begin formally until 1950[0]. Anecdotes like that are exactly what informs our modern scientific method. Medical research doesn't occur in the form of politicians spreading thoroughly debunked misinformation on YouTube. There is no legitimate research being suppressed here. Real research occurs in well-established journals, with well-understood and justified research methodologies. There is still room for improvement, of course, in both research and practice. But these days, the incentives are mostly well aligned to prevent that kind of story happening, and get the best results out to people as soon as possible. You will have a hard time coming up with a modern example of overlooked medical research that is well supported by research.

> I want to hear from people who say things that aren't popular.

Why, though? What have you gotten out of that experience? Are you an expert in epidemiology and immunology, to evaluate the studies yourself? You can't "decide for yourself" in the field of medical research. You need years of education and a career to even begin to operate in that arena. You need to rely on experts and the established methods and organizations to do the research and synthesize best practices. If you really want to contribute to the conversation about immunology and vaccine safety, you need to go get a medical degree and hop into the established field of research. If you can't do that (I sure can't!), then you need to trust real medical experts. Politicians on YouTube are not real medical experts.

RFK Jr isn't proselytizing some new, well-supported medical theory rejected by the establishment. He's just spouting complete nonsense that has been debunked to an absolutely ludicrous degree. Spreading this misinformation has a real, human cost. Vaccine refusal is directly responsible for tens of thousands of preventable deaths in the US annually[1,2]. Spreading medical misinformation has real, serious consequences. It is absolutely correct for platforms that care about public health to refuse to provide people like RFK Jr a megaphone.

Yes, the lack of monkeys with 100L tank is not an argument; base model will get better fuel efficiency.

Pretty sure monkey + the fuel for entirety of its lifetime would still produce less CO2 than EV over lifetime + whatever amount of solar panels and power storage needed to keep it powered.
I love the Seagull Articles of Incorporation! https://www.seegull.org/articles-of-inc.html

Definitely need more of this. It's strange that, in the west, we're deeply committed to these basic values in all institutions except those which have become the most powerful and important in folks' every days lives (employers and service/goods providers), where we are instead deeply allergic to notions of democracy, equality, and checks and balances.
A trained monkey can write a service file. There is no software that can start with a SysV script that isn’t easily ported to a service file.
I followed the link, but stopped reading at the beginning of paragraph 2:

In reality, Mostaque has a bachelor’s degree, not a master’s degree from Oxford.

This sentence is odd. Anyone who receives a bachelor's degree from Oxford qualifies to receive master's degree also, so long as they live for at least 7 years after they matriculate (aka enroll). So, as long as Emad finished his undergraduate studies at least 4 years ago, he qualifies to receive master's degree.

Officially, the degree is not 'awarded' until you attend a graduation ceremony, or graduate 'in absentia' (i.e. have your name read out at a graduation ceremony).
That does not match my memory. I remember it being very split between Upstart and SysV. Now the major distros have pretty much all standardized on systemd.

Utah views EV drivers as tax evaders because they don't buy gas. So they have a "deal" for EV drivers: pay an exorbitant registration fee (hundreds more than other vehicles) or install an OBD device in your car and carry a surveillance app to be charged for how much your vehicle is driven [0]. The measurement route requires 2 separate accounts with 3rd parties, one of which has your payment information on file.

Given that states can't even get voting right [1], this is not the future I wanted. (Plus, we should be incentivizing EV purchases at this stage, not punishing them.)

(Heck, they put my marriage license on a blockchain for some dumb reason. I didn't even want it on a blockchain!)

Government debt is not the same as household debt. The government, as the issuer of its own currency, has the power to create money. This ability sets it apart from households, businesses, and city or state governments that rely on income and borrowing to finance their spending.

Government debt is a byproduct of government spending. The primary purpose of government spending is to inject money into the economy, creating demand and stimulating economic activity. When the government spends more than it collects in taxes, it runs a deficit and issues debt as a way to accommodate the excess spending.

Taxes are thus a tool to manage inflation. By reducing the amount of money in circulation, taxes help prevent excessive demand that could lead to inflationary pressures.

> as all banks have to prove to the Government (FDIC in particular) that their assets are greater than their liabilities.

What assets? Defined as you would define them, the things most of us think about as liabilities (outstanding loans) are the same assets.

It's more than a little circular.

> if a bank owes $5 Billion to its customers, it needs to prove to the FDIC that it has at least $5 Billion hanging around somewhere.

This simply isn't the case. Neither in physical cash deposits, nor in electronic deposits of any sort. It may have some collateral, of the sort that isn't and can't be made liquid, and those values are all inflated into the stratosphere anyway. If they did have to liquidate this collateral, the prices would all collapse, and it'd have a tiny fraction of what they had claimed they were worth just days prior.

> No. It can be a bond,

That's another word for "outstanding loan" as I understand it. They gave (imaginary?) cash to some company or municipality somewhere, got a fancy piece of paper saying they can "cash it in 20 years later". That's called a loan.

> it could be a mortgage, e

I thought you were claiming these were liabilities not two sentences higher? If they're not liabilities, what the hell are they? You make it sound as if all banks ever have is assets.

> But banks cannot print money, except for the Fed and Treasury in collaboration with each other.

Who needs printed paper, when you can just modify a few bits in a few flipflops somewhere that amount to an electronic ledger?

They can't print money, but they can certainly let me use the credit card they mailed to me, and they aren't digging around in the couch cushions for some coins so that they have that covered with "assets" as you contend above.

Hell, if I understand you correctly, they could offer someone another mortgage, and then use that as the "asset" that covers my credit card loan (and my credit card loan is also an asset that covers the mortgage!).
No need to fall into us vs them rhetoric, you can just say the truth in a way that does not sound like you blame everyone but yourself and that will be good enough for most interviewers.

The truth is most people are not complete sociopath, if you say "After working N years at X I felt the projects were not interesting anymore and that impacted my motivation at work. I want to explore a different tech stack/area/industry". Sure you can interpret that as "this guy will leave my company if he gets bored", but most people will hear "I just wanted a change" and as long as N > 2 years you are likely fine.
Haven't some of the materials been found to be manufactured in a way that's not possible with our tech?
Thus there is a market on creating open, auditable models of every media type, with sectoral and national variants.

OpenBSD is actually a good example of a system that envisions a holistic experience. Sure its experience is that of one for a techie nerd, but it's still very experience oriented. This is a pretty big contrast from suckless which creates small tools that only kinda work together and claim the code as documentation. OpenBSD docs are wonderful.

(Though in my experience modern Linux kernels have much better networking throughput than BSD kernels. It confounds the overall performance argument of this thread chain, but the overall OpenBSD experience leads to on average a more speedy experience.)
It’s trivial to execute an existing script from a SystemD service. Like, you just tell the service to run the script.

This is so much nothing it can’t get nothinger.
Browsers have gotten worse. In..2013, I believe, I regularly had 200+ firefox tabs open on a laptop. It was a high-end laptop, with IIRC 16 gigs of ram, but it was still a laptop. The number may have been much higher than that - I've hit over a thousand tabs before, but I can't recall if that was then or more recently.

Multi-process firefox seems to have absolutely obliterated the performance of firefox with large numbers of tabs until recently (it seems to be have improved).
Updating software that hasn't been updated in a long time and so far worked just fine is not trivial though.
I am specifically working more with FreeBSD as I think the day is coming that Linux won't have the ease of configuration it does now.
> pay an exorbitant registration fee (hundreds more than other vehicles)

I agree it should be easier and more privacy-preserving to measure real usage (e.g., an odometer read once a year or something like that).
A few years ago our insurance would give us a discount if we added a small monitoring device to the car for 2 months. We agreed and at the end of the time we mailed it back to them. Now we have switched companies and the new one doesn’t have a discreet device, but instead want me to install an app that has 24 hour access to my location on my phone. That was too much for me. So instead a bought the cheapest android phone I could find, and installed the app on that and left it in the car.
But I learn about the past from National Geographic.

> Ok, maybe it's a secret weapons program we don't know about.

The problem with this is that there is no evidence to support it. No one has ever leaked anything about a secret propulsion mechanism that can do 1000+ Gs. On the other hand, there have been those who have leaked information about secret UAP programs. Congress seems to be if the opinion that the latter is the more likely of the two, which makes sense when you think about it.

Congress has been briefed about secret weapons programs before. There are procedures in place to protect national secrets when they need to be discussed by the Legislative branch. If it were a secret propulsion mechanism then Congress would already know about it, and all this energy would not be being spent on holding hearings re: AARO, whistleblowers, etc.
As opposed to somehow traveled here via a mechanism that's not possible by our current understanding of the laws of physics?
First it's a discount. Then it's a penalty for not playing. Then it's just everyone.
Yes, but there were a lot of vassals who were not on board with the new top-down direction in the early 2000s. Putin made a lot of enemies with vassals that didn't want to play ball with the new rules, Khodorkovsky being a notable example. There's surely plenty of others that weren't steamrolled as badly and still retain the ability to strike back at him if he's no longer the all-important boss of Russia.

The biggest achievement in ICE is turning them off.

I always wondered how do folks start companies to built integration with banks and provide APIs.

Where does one even start? The only way I see is to stumble across someone who works in bank? If bank, has to be beyond a bank teller.
This is one of the least bad invasions of privacy I've seen. It shifts the burden of insurance premiums more towards those likely to cause accidents, and incentivizes people to minimize dangerous behavior behind the wheel. There are actual benefits to responsible people, and to society at large, which is not something you frequently see with invasion of privacy.
It may appear that way, but even privacy-for-profit schemes are illusory. The devices still send the data, it is still collated. Eventually this will effect the elites personally and negatively, someone will slip up with their parallel construction, and then we'll see real change in the US. Sadly, not before then.
One of the greatest deals I ever got (in my mind) was buying the entire set of National Geographic magazines on DVD disc for about $15. More than 100 years of articles!

>Among those who lost their jobs in the latest layoff was Debra Adams Simmons, who only last September was promoted to vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion at National Geographic Media

Why did they need a VP of DEI for such a small workforce (that they've now laid off entirely)? Seems like some poor decision making internally.
No you can just get a cheaper car. You can get one for like $5k and the insurance won't be a lot. Just get minimums.
