>probably not malware?

Fundamentally, malware is about deception. If the user understands what is being done and why (we're tracking everything we can, then selling that to everyone) then it's not malware. The typical adware hosted on FileZilla shows a screen in the middle of the install process with multiple paragraphs of text in a font smaller than everything else, which vaguely refers to ad supported software and a link to a privacy policy that nobody reads or understands.

I don't know if there's a legal definition of malware, that's definitely malware in my understanding of the word.
Thank you for the feedback. What you said resonates with me a lot.

Standardized APIs:

While we are designing Twenty, we have in mind to provide three APIs: a GraphQL API (headless), a Front-end React API and a NodeJS API that engineers could use to build their own plugins. We imagine that you could build your plugins in your own repository using SDKs maintained by Twenty. Then on your twenty instance you would be able to install a plugin from your custom repository or a shared marketplace (this would maybe imply a vetting process)
There are many challenges around that, especially in resources monitoring and security given we are going into the multitenant architecture

API that don't assume custom business logic:
Here, we might have a slightly different opinion: we think that Twenty should come by default with a quite opinionated behavior. We will likely introduce a rich library of standards objects and fields that would have pre-defined behaviors. However, we would also enable the users to create custom objects and custom fields if they need that can be customized in whatever makes sense for their business. So: Standard objects/fields + Custom object/fields. We don't know yet if they share the exact same API

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), also called IP Next Generation (IPng), is a second-generation standard network layer protocol. The network layer where IPv6 resides provides connectionless data transmission services. IPv6 is designed by the IETF as an upgraded version of IPv4 and addresses many defects in IPv4. The most significant difference between IPv6 and IPv4 is that IP addresses are lengthened from 32 bits to 128 bits. IPv6 is more competitive in future markets with its simplified header, sufficient address space, hierarchical address structure, flexible extension header, and enhanced neighbor discovery mechanism.
> (Edwin from Stripe here.) I think we _may_ have chatted? (Hard to tell with tempaccount name.) Could you email me at edwin@stripe.com and link to this thread?

I am so tired of hearing this. Even worse, you just openly admitted that Stripe has extremely broken processes: "I think we _may_ have chatted?"

Why did that go dark? Did it go dark? Did OP go dark? We'll never know. We just know that Edwin is here for tech support: it's an HN meme. We don't have many of those here.

I'm genuinely disappointed that unless someone complains on [searches Google for your email] channels, they get burned. There are tons of those small companies, entrepreneurs, and others who are getting hosed. I understand there's no incentive to fixing those processes. I couldn't wake up every day and admit to myself that there are certain classes of customers who, despite having equal issues, get preferential treatment because they're loud. This is on the front page right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36788274

But as an empath it hurts me.

As someone who has transacted hundreds of millions through Stripe, I'm just floored. It was relatively nuanced before — the support — but this admission just shocks me.
It can't work if you're willing to engage with bad faith players, and are unwilling to call them out for their bullshit.

China has been depending on industrial espionage in order to keep up for decades now.

Punish them for their malfeasance.

The way that the west works is far from ideal, but limited term intellectual property protection provides a significant portion of the motivation for the creation of novel products.

Without those protections, and the products that depend on them, there won't even be designs for China to steal.

Of course, there is a very valid argument that we don't actually need a lot of that shit, regardless of who's making it.
There's posts elsewhere in the comment thread with concrete reasons. I'll horribly paraphrase them: the demographic collapse is less of a problem than westerners think because China has a high home ownership[0] rate and home-owning adults are way more likely to have children. Old people will just die alone and unloved in China like they do in Japan. China captures enough of the electronics value chain that existing 'derisking policies' practically amount to 'move final assembly to Mexico to evade tariffs.' They're nowhere close to being food dependent.

I'm not entirely convinced by this, of course. But it's important to note that headwinds are not brick walls. And even the inevitable next collapse of the Russian Empire will probably not happen for years, if ever. There are levels of survival that the elites who run sovereign states are willing to accept.

[0] On the timescales of normal family planning, the difference between home ownership and a ninety-nine year lease with no rent payment is immaterial.
>And FYI, while he died unexpectedly young, a 57-year-old man in the US has only a 50% chance of living to see their child reach 23 years of age. I, personally, wouldn't feel comfortable risking leaving a child with a likelihood of dealing with my death at that relatively young age.

To me it seems more like he wanted to have a child with his wife before he passed so they planned it out so it would happen.

If Kevin inspired you, perhaps a donation in his name would be a nice gesture.
Honest question: what should happen to all those people having multiple houses? How many is too much? What if it’s “their retirement plan”? Those people should die in the streets so others won’t?

I mean I get your point but don’t see a sane way out. Maybe we should just build way more?
Show HN: I made AI Trump play “Only Up ” and talk with the chat live on Twitch
Hey HN!

Built an interactive livestream showing an AI version of Donald Trump 'playing' the "Only Up!" game and talking with the chat, live on Twitch.

You can ask him questions by typing "!q <your message>" in the chat, and he'll respond live (might have a response delay of 1-2 mins sometimes).

Hope you like it! :D
I very much agree with the author's take that introvert/extrovert is a stupidly reductionist categorization for human social behavior. I like their approach to looking at different kinds of social interaction, but I think just focusing on group size misses other important differences:

* How close or long-term the relationship with the others is. Do you like meeting new people or prefer the company of old friends and family? Do you want to be able to let down your guard and be your true self without worry, or do the higher stakes of the long term consequences stress you out?

* How balanced the power is and where you are on it. Do you like rousing a team of minions, give and take with peers, or being inspired to follow a visionary?

* How cooperative versus adversarial the relationship is. Do you want to make sacrifices for the greater good so that we all win, or do you want to defeat your opponent? Do you want to give people the benefit of the doubt and show compassion, or protect others from dangerous bad actors?

Also, not limited to social interaction, I think many people often fail to distinguish:

1. I don't like this thing.

2. I feel anxiety about this thing.

If social interaction stresses you out but you're always glad after you did it, you're not an introvert, you have social anxiety. If you don't want to go to a social function, but you go anyway and it goes perfectly fine, but then afterwards you still wish you hadn't gone, that's more likely to be actual introversion.

I strongly suspect that most self-described introverts (including myself for many years) are actually people with a normal or even high level of extroversion but high social anxiety.
Why not metrics to quantify instead of metrics to quantity - is this an AI specific term?
The more salient term isn't "capitalism", but rather "capitalization".

Most investment is done by converting anticipated future value (modulo some degree of risk), and encapsulating it into an asset price, which is relative to the opportunity cost of alternative investments, and the current discount rate.

And capitalization doesn't have a goal beyond honoring those future returns (or "embedded growth obligations"). It doesn't care whether those returns come from innovation, production, rent-seeking, or even a "greater sucker" Ponzi scheme. Investors (and their financial agents) operate almost entirely on Make Number Go Up ("buy low sell high"), and any incentives that result in win-win increases to human flourishing are entirely secondary effects.
what you are describing looks like the classical definition of introverts vs extroverts to. so where is the difference or the misunderstanding?

Sure, I’m not suggesting we copy any one policy, but the assumption that people in the US are better off than everyone else and that it is somehow because we don’t tax wealth is kind of silly.

By some measures many European nations are better off economically than we are. And many of these countries have wealth taxes.

We’d also be remiss to overlook that the US had a tremendous advantage in not having our infrastructure destroyed in the middle of the 20th century.
I had never heard that term before but was sure it stood for something else. Pretty sure that's intentional.

> In common usage, the term "A/C" refers to a kind of heat pump that only does cold, whereas "heat pump" means one that does both hot and cold.

Does it though? That seems to be some kind of subcultural jargon that matches neither common (which uses central heating and air conditioning for any central system
that cools with a heat pump regardless of how it heats) nor industry usage. (My fairly nee system, marketed as A/C, has both a two-way heat pump and a gas furnace to back up the heat punp for heating.)

Interesting. In that part of the world, the crust is actually some of the thinnest on Earth. Shell drilled some thermal wells up there in the 70s - when it comes to tech, they have always been the most progressive of the E&P industry - that isn't saying much, but they have been more advanced/interested than any other. Because of the crust being thinnest there, the geothermal gradient is supposed to be better, but that being said, the original Shell wells weren't drilled deep enough - I reviewed them a long time ago, but think they were targeting some 300 feet. When done, all they did was make uncomfortably hot water and no steam - so they will probably need to go to that 500' mark someone here mentioned.

Having used both QML and Svelte, I enjoy Svelte a lot more. The reactive APIs are very similar, just declare variables, mutate them, and use them. But Svelte is much nicer for many reasons:

1. It uses modern JavaScript and not some limited custom ES5-like JavaScript

2. Svelte can be used with TypeScript so your UI code can be statically typed

3. The integration with Svelte and VSCode is much better than QML and Qt Creator (the big thing is that IntelliSense is much better at analyzing JavaScript code than whatever Qt Creator uses)

4. Having an actual live reloading dev server is so much nicer than compiling and running for every change

5. Svelte has much better documentation than QML

These are just the first things that came to mind, but I could probably keep going for a while. Do you think I'm being unfair to QML? And/or have you used Svelte?

I wish Insomnia had tabs the way Postman does. Also Insomnia doesn't really have a save function, so whereas in Postman you could take a request, modify it, then close the tab without changing the underlying saved request (because you didn't save/overwrite it), you can't do that in Insomnia.

When Kevin first found out he had Cancer, the doctors gave him "weeks". But you know Kevin -- he refused to accept his fate and found the top doctors in the world, tried experimental procedures and was able to get himself all the way into remission just 11 months later. It was incredibly inspiring, we all thought he had yet again beaten the system. It's tragic how the last 10 weeks played out, he fought all the way until the end. He's was a legend who paved the way for millions in the cybersecurity space. We will miss him.

It depends whether you're doing just FTS or also faceted search. In the latter case, you need a completely different kind of index (a covering index with all the filtered fields), and it'll be slow enough to be perceived by the user in the order of 1 million rows.
No, you fundamentally do not understand the problem. You are willing to abstract everything from the equation apart from the outcome, and that is so wrong.

Money is a specific representation of the 'want' that drives gambling. That the outcome is getting more money or more some other representation does not matter. All that matters to the human brain is that the 'want' is satisfied.

Gambling becomes a problem when a person is willing to spend a harmful amount of 'input': usually time and/or money. This is either due to a personality flaw or due to manipulation of people into believing that the odds are in their favor, making them increase their input.

There is only not a problem when either of the following conditions is met:

- The 'input' is not at risk of damaging anyone.

- The chance of obtaining the 'want' does not modify the 'input' to become harmful.

- The 'want' is not interesting to anyone.
All this assumes that admissions is a formulaic process. The application probably still asks where your parents went to school. Admissions are still made of humans that may be subject to biases. Faced with two equivalent candidates, one legacy and one not, it should be a 50/50 decision on which to pick. But in reality some cognitive bias will tilt the process in favor of one. My guess is it would be the legacy candidate.
Mitnick did remind myself as a preteen, even if it never seems he quite outgrew his own preteen antics. He was a gutsy guy who made life more rich and interesting in his own way. He never seemed to bend to the system’s will long after many of us so called anti-authoritarians would have thrown in the towel.

When I read his books I alternated between fascination, revulsion, admiration, and shock. Mitnick above all wasn’t boring and I think “not boring” doesn’t get enough credit in the measure of a man.
