Everyone's favourite station tailor has no part in this (sadly) ;-)

I have to ask my cofounder about this, as she came up with the name. I remember it meaning something like "an oasis in the desert" which is quite fitting to the whole loneliness problem.
This is not correct. If I send money to a random dev in Russia I don’t break any law. But I simply cannot do this because it is technically impossible. Crypto is tech that makes it possible.
It'll be fine. They're in it for the long game.

Elon keeps Eloning, so inevitably there will be more controversies that make users look for something else, and Threads will be there for them.
> That's like saying that cars don't address the where-to-park issue at all.

They don't. Trains and busses do, though, which is why they're better - that’s the difference between a functionally equivalent technology and a superior one. Not really sure what you're getting at.
Twitter is such a garbage way to convey this kind of information.
What is the reason for such an angry reply? They're pushing the boundaries and going against the spirit of free software. It's apparently legal but damages open source. There's been lots of discussion about it.
Same number but not same the community, since this pushes out anyone who can't afford it. Artists are usually not MBA types trying to minmax profit and want to appeal to more than just the privileged Coachella crowd.

> Is self-hosting just too inconvenient/expensive/pointless?

The answer is in the question: it's the first two. Self-hosting is inconvenient & expensive in comparison to Discord. That's all there is to it.

If you can run a SaaS competitor that is: (1) built on an open-source stack, (2) close to being as easy to use as Discord, (3) free to use, you will steal marketshare. Guaranteed.

However, bullet-point #3 tends to contravene the first 2.
Having been around a bunch of former-government people and bumping into FIPS myself a few times (like yubikeys) and reading about it, that's also been my sense, but it's nice to see a formal writeup with examples.

Rolex has the exact same problem.
The theory seems to be that they give the money to the venue instead of the artist, which causes the artist to not have to pay for the venue. Which is totally different, as you can imagine.

That's one of the problems with mystery writing - the protagonist can never be smarter than the author. The books can say Sherlock Holmes is a genius polymath intellect with brilliant deductive capabilities but he was written by a guy who believed the Cottingley Fairies were real, so...
The experience of living in Sydney and working full-time as a senior engineer is truly mind bending. My parents were a teacher and a labourer and have always owned the houses we lived in, usually in a middle suburb on the western side of the city.

Adjusted for inflation, I earn multiple times their combined income and for me a detached house is almost entirely out of reach, and apartments with any more than 2 bedrooms are about the same.

The numbers really tell the story. My parents combined income was around $40,000 and the house they bought when I was born was around $120,000. Today, If my household is earning $160,000, an equivalent house in the same suburb is $1,500,000, and the numbers just don’t balance.

This wouldn’t be so bad if apartments were reasonably sized and built to be lived in. We have thousands of studios and 1 bedroom apartments that you could never raise a family in. What we need is 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in well located suburbs with access to transport, and a disincentive for developers to just build tiny studios to maximise profit.

I have put my money where my mouth is so-to-speak on saying Sydney is overpriced, and spend a few months a year living in Tokyo while I work out how moving there more permanently will work. It’s still expensive, but relatively speaking its decades of work more affordable to buy a house.

If they wanted to eliminate scalping, they could just make the tickets returnable but non-refundable:

Put your name on the badge. If you want to sell it, they buy it back at face value minus a restocking fee, and then resell it at original price.

This would be much less of a pain in the ass for everyone involved.
Here is a terrible flaw in these multi-vendor, heterogeneous networked environments.

You can have a filesystem with intuitive semantics, really flexible and great access control, resilient and dependable, fast and efficient, but in order to share this filesystem across the network, with other OSes by different vendors, the lowest common denominator is observed. And so all those features are stripped away, because only the basics are supported when the OS vendors are competing with each other and there are different machines with different filesystem drivers, different file managers, and apps with different libraries and frameworks for accessing files. There is no way to maintain consistency, even with standards-based formats and protocols, when so many disparate vendors and developers are involved.

Wait, what's that you say? iCloud is maintained by a single vendor? You are telling me that Apple has control of every iCloud client and server?

Hmm, bad bit of luck there.

Super determinism is a perfectly valid interpretation of quantum mechanics no less valid than Copenhagen.

It's a bigger shame most students aren't taught that Copenhagen is not the only interpretation consistent with experiment and are often thought it as absolute truth.

Let's not get into the compatibility with free will philosophical issues, because that'd need physics to recognize metaphysics once more.
What is your native language, and if English, what dialect?

For me, the "foo" in "foobar" has the same vowel as "toot", which is different than "foot". Do "toot" and "foot" rhyme for you.

I speak American English, from Boston/New England but without a strong Boston accent.
Geographical differences certainly ring true but I think it’s a bit of a generational thing as well?
Great looking app. Though I'm curious of the origins of the name Elim. It feels like eliminate, but you don't want to eliminate people. So maybe you had a different meaning in mind.

Beautiful looking app. I'll download it when I get a chance.

I'll be launching an MVP app in the mental health/anxiety space next week (currently in TestFlight), so I'd like to connect and find out a bit about how your experience with your launch, and distribution plans if you're up for it (my linkedin is in my profile).
Website says that the OS does not have a shell. I cannot imagine a useful docker container without at least one shell script inside. So, if there is no shell, doesn't it mean that Bottlerocket is generally unusable except niche scenarios?
>I don't overly care for the success of the label, but the only reason to sign to larger labels is to improve your exposure and sales.

Yes. How is that related to having to compromise your art to do it? You can do it, and they can take it or leave it. They signed you, after all, no? At worst, the label doesn't think you're viable, and they drop you. The way Billy Joel puts it in that quote is like you have some obligation to be more commercial, just because you signed to a big label or because you sold records.

>Those people buying your music are what puts food in your mouth.

When they paid for a record, they got the songs in it, didn't they? Did anybody tell them they have some right on your future artistic direction too? Or what songs you play at your concerts and how? They bought a specific record or concert ticket, not stocks on the artist. They can always not buy more records if they don't like their new music.

>but continuing to accept their money while sniffing haughtily that you're not about that is disingenuous and fake naivety.

I'm not sure I understand the argument. You, as an artist put out some albums. People buy them. Perhaps they like them so much they buy a million of them. What exactly obligation does that give you? Didn't they get an album in exchange for their money, as promised?

Do you implied anywhere that you're "all about selling records"? If anything, by refusing to put out what they want you or what would sell more (e.g. more of the same), you imply that you're NOT about selling records. And not just imply it, but you also support this fact with your bottom line, risking not selling or alienating the record buying public.

So, it's neither "naive", nor "disingenuous", or "haughty" from the side of the artist. Sounds quite sincere. And it's not for the faint of heart, either, which is why there's no shortage of the opposite: "whatever the company wants", or "whatever will sell" audience pleasing artists.

Also, if the artist is "continuing to accept their money", this means they continue to give them their money. This means they still appreciate what he gives them, so he's not wrong by them, is he? The rest can always not give the artist their money.
I wonder how the mechanisms of learn and infer in box jellys can inform designs of low energy narrow focus ML, like a toaster that associates a specific person with a specific toastiness rather than operating by time.

I’ve spent years of therapy trying to overcome my fear of talking to strangers. Mostly it just feels inappropriate and unwanted; like I would be intruding on people. I can talk to strangers when there’s an appropriate social context (e.g. clerks / service people). But lacking the right context, it feels deeply uncomfortable.

Has anyone overcome this problem? Where would you go to interact with strangers–importantly where there’s an appropriate social context that permits interacting.

Language is not prescriptive but descriptive. No one can say (except for trademarks) that X is the only correct usage of a word and it shall remain that way for a millenia. Words regularly modify, change or adapt meanings - with your example, it's not unconceivable that 20 years later, anime would be used in the west as well to describe all sorts of cartoons due to japanese cultural influence.

As Alice in Wonderland says: “When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

They are expected to make it more challenging than other less challenging arguments.

Almost all security that isn’t lethal is deterrance not solution.

I have already preempveoy addressed this argument (which — respectfully — is a favorite HN counterpoint every time locks and security come up) in another comment, but here is the heart of it here:

But what about locks? You said locks before but locks aren’t that secure. The term “fitness for purpose” refers to a product or service that is not working as intended or expected. If you don’t sell a car with locks and claim you have a security system, no fault. But if you do and it doesn’t work, fault. Same for locks.

Physical locks are not meant to make things impossible to get to. They just make it hard to get to. No amount of physical locks will ever make something 100% secure because even if they are unpickable, and there are some unpickable locks, physical things can be broken.

The point of physical locks are that it takes the robber time and energy to get around them. If it takes more time and energy to do it most robbers will just go to the next location and hope there is less security.

because of this most people just need convenient locks. Ones that do not take up a lot of space or time to open.
It is only when we see extremely valuable things that the higher tech locks that take a lot of space/time/energy to work with.

Of course you manage state with Imba. There's no reactivity though.
To be fair, I think "VM" on the OS for Flatcar / BottleRocket / CoreOS is not a requirement in the same way as on RHEL etc.

Do you want to know if you are patched? Are you running the latest version? If so, you have all the available patches.

I appreciate this can cause difficulties in some regulated domains because there's a "vm" box that needs to be ticked on the compliance worksheet.

Most of the reason we need VM on a "traditional" OS is to handle the fact that they have a very broad configuration space and their software composition can be - and often is - pretty arbitrary (incorporating stuff from a ton of sources / vendors and those versions can move independently).

But that's not how you're supposed to use a container OS.

If you do "extra work" to discover vulnerabilities in "latest", you are not really doing the job of a system owner (whose job is to apply patches from upstream in a timely fashion), you are doing the work of a security researcher.

It's strange to me that the only footage released has been low res/low frame rate. It seems like a significant oversight to neglect to include cameras that can take, store, and transmit high quality video. Anyone have any links to footage I might have missed?
"Did India want this project to be entirely homegrown?"

I suspect so and I also think that if you are going to test your skills, then being realistic in the first place is good idea. The mission was always sold as unlikely to survive the night but that would be a nice to have if it did.

For me the mission seems to have worked rather well and performed exactly as billed.
well yes eventually we'll reach a regime where growth must become cubic rather than exponential, because we run up against the speed of light. but we are nowhere near that yet and it is silly to worry about it.

Like a database (because it is one). MVCC. Full transactional isolation. Nobody sees your changes until successful commit.

This is what MOO was effectively mostly doing already, through a big ol' single threaded interpreter we all took turns on. Only one task was running at a time (sort of, you could suspend() and return later, and then all bets were off on consistency). It's just... that doesn't really scale too well.
That problem is as old as automation itself.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-loom_riots

It should not be overlooked that this is less of a problem of automation but one of how we organize society. What do we do once large parts of society become redundant? With many of them already having had bullshit jobs doing busywork? The effect of substantial numbers of high paying jobs vanishing alone will be disastrous for the economy. Technological progress is just highly deflationary.
Its exactly the same spiel as all these Amazon seller “gurus” on Youtube telling you how to sell properly and how much they are making, but they only make money with their courses, etc…

If you hang out long enough on indiehackers you realize most of the people there dont want to create businesses, they just want to amass more followers and readers in order to peddle their “dev tools” or whatever

I guess I'm thinking of cases where I would invoke a virtual thread from a reactive framework per request in which case you need the callback regardless. I guess if you can do away with that then, maybe. I need to benchmark it.

True, but people who paid off their homes can often move and buy their next home for cash, especially if they're downsizing.
This is gonna absolutely demolish many small and medium sized establishments, but as someone who loves dining and drinking out, if you can’t pay your staff a real living wage, then you don’t deserve to exist.

>Unless he had made this clear beforehand - and apparently he had not - then the audience can justifiably feel that there had been an element of bait-and-switch to the performance

If the audience didn't knew who Lou Reed was, and what songs he likes to play in concerns and how, then they were not paying attention. Perhaps they went in thinking it's some crowd pleaser performing a meddley of their hits? That's not "bait and switch" that's more like "they bought pigs in a blanket".

>I suppose you could argue that churlishly and begrudgingly performing that which had induced the audience to pay him for recorded and live performances in the first place was part of Reed's public persona!

I'd go further and say that it was also part of his sincere preferences and character.
Jamais Vu: When the Familiar Turns Eerily New
YC is a one-trick-pony. If you have a simple product, it can guide you to get users, investors and to scale it up.

But don’t expect anything else. It would not help, if you are outside of that scenario. It easily can screw you, by using any product ideas that you’ve refined and sharing these freely with a relevant startup in the batch.
I remember when David Bowie essentially announced his "Greatest hits, and I'm not going to play them again" tour. Simply, he wanted to give the fans a last chance to see their old favorites, but not be hindered by them in the future. I don't know how that worked out for him, I imagine fine. It's not like he was needing the money.

But I think that was a fine response to this problem artists have with deep catalogs. I remember seeing a Van Morrison concert, and I didn't recognize a thing he performed. Not just the songs, the style of music.

If you want to hear the hits, there are a bunch of tribute and cover bands that will play those. Considering the composition of many modern incarnations of older bands may well not include any of the original performers, even the acts themselves are essentially cover artists, they just get to use the name and logo.

I mean, I brought up high-school kids for a reason. They're carrying a bunch of weight mostly against their will, and they're generally smaller and weaker (incl. less muscle to "pad" parts like shoulders) than adults.
I was very impressed with Foot on my MNT Reform, where I was having trouble getting Alacritty to work (hardware issues too difficult to overcome, and I say that as someone who was able to apply a patch to make Alacritty run on my Pinebook Pro before the mainline version supported the hardware). Foot installed and ran like a breeze, and never felt slow even with pretty minimal hardware.

I'm pretty sure they do this so they can sell your personal information.

I avoid them whenever possible, but I recently bought a ticket for an event weeks after they went on sale (there was essentially no activity on the map of available tickets that day).

They "unknown error"'ed me at the end of the purchase flow (inside their reservation timeout window). 60 seconds later, the tickets I had tried to purchase were being resold by a scalper.

So, whatever their API is, it allows scalpers to get a feed of tickets that are in the middle of being purchased, then to buy them in the reservation window and offer them for resale with super human speed.

That company is clearly run by crooks. They've repeatedly been brought under investigation for exactly this behavior (for over a decade), so presumably, they are also good at paying out bribes.
Reading between the lines a little bit here, it sounds like you're a digital nomad of sorts, with an EU bank account, and are attempting to pay "household bills" in a foreign country using details that don't quite add up.

If so, surely you can see that you are likely to be an absolute outlier and how your behaviour is likely almost indecipherable from actual fraud, unless you tell your bank your not actually living in the country (at which point presumably they close your account which is why you're doing this in the first place).
