Two Kinds of “Relicensing”
Another HN user recently offered a term for this: Glossification.

It's not just the internet that has gone through this, any endeavor that involves an audience will undergo a commercialization optimization process which will erode the essence of what was enjoyable to uncover what is functional. Many meaningful questions can be asked about this, all beginning with 'why'.

You can still find pieces of amateur enthusiasm in various niches hidden in corners unsearchable, almost a self-protective mechanism naturally evolved to keep what little remains for people to enjoy from the eroding process.
Well why not write about it? I don’t see this as “bad” content
As someone whose recently facechecked getting my domains email ready, including the absolute frustration of dealing with an ISP who has decreed that "those who want to send email from their own metal shalt have a business account", shit like this makes my blood boil.

I bust my ass to be a responsible member of the Net and do my damnedest to ensure that my systems are up to snuff, up to and including ripping through/tearing apart the current SotA... and yet assholes like that not only exist, but flippantly run as an open relay. With almost half of the Net paying them to do so. Are you frigging kidding me?!
> For all we know you spent all your time inside

What's wrong with spending all your time inside? I don't know any kid who spent all his time outside and turned out well.

> The reality is that it’s dumb luck.

If there's any luck here, was that I had parents who told me things like "don't do things just to impress people". Me not eating a slug was not luck.

I find it so out of touch that you can't concieve that not all kids are the same. Not all kids do things on "dares".

On the recent rerelease of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars, NPR replayed this 2002 interview with David Bowie.

It's absolutely worth reading or listening to the whole thing, but one thing that actually took me by surprise was:

BOWIE: Frankly, if I could get away with not having to perform, I'd be very happy. It's not my favorite thing to do. As I say, I don't mind trying it out and making sure something seems to work well. But I really do rather want to move on because I think it's rather a waste of time endlessly singing the same songs every night for a year. And it's just not what I want to do. What I like doing is writing and recording and much more on the - I guess, on that creative level. It's fun interpreting songs and all that, but I wouldn't like it as a living.

Taking it out of context does not do the comment justice, and if you're not as joyless as Lou Reed during an encore (or, for the love of God, during an interview), you should go ahead and listen to or read the whole thing.

https://www.npr.org/2023/08/25/1195632580/david-bowie-the-fr...
All that sounds great, but how do you actually assert those things without your child missing out on their classes?

We got enrolled this year and all the kids apparently get chromebooks with a bunch of software pre-installed. I mentioned to the school I would rather just provide laptops for them, and they were not really open to that, legal or no. Apparently the kids have been using them everyday, so I'm glad, on one hand, I didn't push the issue and let the kids get behind because of my pet issue, but on the other hand I clearly got steam rolled by the system.

Only consolation I got was links to all their softwares' individual privacy policies they signed with the school in relation to the kids usage and data. Feels a bit like malicious compliance (reading one of those is a strain, reading one for every single piece of software they use in the year is quite a mental burden).
Great parody. It is sad that this has become the most effective way to remove the homeless, and funny that it struck some sort of balance that our liberal standard tolerates.
> how does someone gets on a 'No-Fly' list without having done anything.

A diplomatic compromise to demonstrate to India that Canada is not doing "nothing" while not actually punishing him judiciously.

> Cooperate for deeper investigation?

India should have plenty of evidence to be able to charge him, try him, and convict him in absentia, then demand Canada extradite him. That they haven't done so is a strong hint that they don't have enough evidence that would hold up in a modern justice system.

> On 3 January 2020, Qasem Soleimani, an Iranian major general, was targeted and killed by a U.S. drone strike.. [1]

I in no way defend or excuse the United States' history of extra-judicial killings around the world. The US is absolutely hypocritical when it comes to international relations, has done much to destabilize democratic institutions in the world (mostly to keep them from embracing more leftist/communist ideologies that would threaten American Capitalist economic interests)

The assassination of this general will be remembered as an egregious act of the Trump administration, however it is only the latest in a long line of these kind of actions under the administrations of both political parties.

The US gets away with it because it's the most powerful economy and military in the world. Noone else does, nor should they.
Microsoft Paint had transparency to some extent, just not layers.

> A lot of people do risky or silly things when they're teenagers - very few of them pay the price with their lives.

This is precisely the nature of risk.

We don't live in a deterministic world where everyone who eats slugs dies. If we did, that kid wouldn't have eaten a slug.

No, we live in a world with uncertainty. If you eat a slug, almost for sure nothing bad will happen.
Agreed. With the recent Taylor Swift fiasco, if she charged $2k a ticket, she would be viewed as some nightmare of capitalism. Instead, she gets to hide under the guise of ticketmaster since she sold tickets at a lower dollar cost only to be resold at a market clearing price. I have anecdata to say some people won the initial lottery and paid a few hundred for floor seats when the large majority needed to pay the market clearing price on the secondary market. I'd posit this is the real purpose of ticketmaster's monopoly: In exchange for their exclusivity agreements with large venues and artists, thus filling stadiums and providing kick backs, they allow themselves to become the target of venom from the larger market instead of the artists themselves.
> Okay. So you don't believe having both male and female parents is an advantage over having same sex on s anymore?

Living with both a mother and father can certainly have its perks. The main one being easy accessibility to a role model of both sexes. There are plenty of other situations that would provide that same advantage though.

Families come in all kinds of configurations, especially when you get into multi-family/generational living situations, none of which is inherently better or worse for the child by sole virtue of the sex of the those involved.

Child A living with a mother and father isn't guaranteed to be better off than Child B living with two fathers. Just like Child B isn't guaranteed to be worse off than Child C who lives with a mother and a grandmother and a grandfather even through there are benefits to having more people in the home caring for and watching over the child. If you didn't grow up in a household with both your parents and grandparents you didn't have that advantage, but you weren't disadvantaged because of that either.

It's like saying that having two kids, one a boy and one a girl is "best". It absolutely has its advantages sure, but that doesn't make it best or mean that anything other than that is "worse".

This is my take at translating the original. Punctuation is my own but I think it reflects the original poem.

The poet is a faker.
He fakes so thoroughly
that he even fakes as pain
the pain he feels truly.

Or for a more liberal translation (aches=pain) that manages ABAB:

The poet is a man who fakes.
He fakes aches so completely
that he even fakes as aches
the aches he feels truly.
I think the fact this was possible via the use of CF workers invalidates your point. Also, you choose to add the Domain Lockdown feature as a direct results of these findings.

I'd feel pretty silly too if my "email filters" kept me from acting sooner on this problem.
The Moms for Liberty agenda is to abolish public schools because public schools undermine their ideology. Anything that damages public schools advances their agenda. Free public education was always a socialist conspiracy.

It's valid, but it needs to be authorized. Back when initial specs of SMTP were it didn't matter that much as users were mainly academics and it was primarily used for discussion/passing information.

These days you don't really want your finance team getting email which say it's from CEO and is asking them to make wire transfer, email from IT asking to password reset and so on. While it probably shouldn't be, the sender address is treated as very strong signal that email is legitimate so you should be taking steps to make it so that if someone tries to spoof it without authorization, it should be treated as suspicious.
I went to a show from a big DJ at a small venue like this once. Had to buy in person with an ID and they checked IDs at the door. I think it works well at small venues but can’t see this scaling up to arenas and stadiums. The large venues already struggle getting people through the door fast enough.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! To address your points:

- There is in fact an eraser tool available, as well as shape and fill tools. You can access them on mobile by tapping on the pencil icon, which opens a dropdown menu.

- Early on when I was developing Karektar, I did in fact avoid including an explicit eraser tool, instead using the approach you described. However it felt a bit finicky to use, and that including a separate eraser tool would give an additional degree of freedom. For instance, if you are intending to draw on mobile, but your touch accidentally interacts with a filled pixel, you can still continue to draw without worrying about erasing work you hadn't intended to undo.

- I had a feeling the footer text might pose an issue, apologies about that! The addition was an afterthought, specifically to allow people to access the original repo; but I'll aim to fix it soon.

By the way, towards the first two points: I did also include a modal to describe the key functional aspects, which can be accessed by clicking/tapping on the "Help" button. This was to ensure that people would be aware of elements such as how to access additional tools on mobile. However it seems like some of the interactive elements may still be unintuitive, so I'll see if I can make them clearer. Thanks again for your comment!
In what way is git evidence of a lack of creatives? I don’t see the connection.
Yeah, 1000 years of being the easiest target of foreign raids erodes all culture down to the bone.

I don't think it has much to do with minority oppression. If anything, these states have been run through minority favored govts for a long time. SP favored the Muslims, BSP favored lower castes, Lalu favored the OBCs, and Nitish a combination of them all.

> IMO, most of those states should be split for good reason, to make administration easier and more easy to monitor. UP should be 3 states, Rajasthan should be 2, MP should be 2

Can you give me an example of something you shouldn't have done and did? I'm curious to see if I'm gonna go "oh you're right, I did the same, so silly". My guess is no.
I think there'd need to be both regulation and enforcement in order to make that work out. If you consider 1. the game-theoretic problem that the vendors have (specifically the prisoner's dilemma), and 2. the fact that many of them seem to operate on smaller margins and 3. certainly do not have the benefit of operating from monopoly that Intel had, it may be that accepting the bribes is the way to go. Are you going to wait 10, 20, maybe 30 years for some government to finally step in on your competitors that accepted the bribes?
I'm not a native English speaker and youtube was very bad at transcribing videos, now thanks to YouTube speech-to-text model and translation model powered by neural networks the subtitles are actually very good and people can enjoy the content on how "The AI revolution is rotten to the core" from around the world, thanks AI!
Do they pay well?
Not one measure is perfect, but together they do provide many layers of nuisance to deter scalpers.
I want to say no, purely based on the idea that if that were the case all my inboxes - spreads across several providers - would be overwhelmed with spam? Surely the (organised, educated) spammers are all over this sort of thing and would be using that to break through?

Admittedly I did take inspiration from BitFontMaker, and a couple of other tools as well, but with the hope of building on them in some ways.

But one design choice of Pentaocm's tool, which I really appreciate, is how the individual glyph previews update as you make changes on the main canvas. This was an aspect I also implemented in Karektar, though with a larger gallery for more legibility.

A new feature I did develop was the ability to input a custom query for your own unique glyph set. To my knowledge, that is not a feature you'll find in most of these tools.
Because more people are using it now but the protocol itself isn't actually suited for this level of scale; IMO it's doomed.

To me, it's the Excel perspective (was trying to find a less network effect example): social impact = adoption rate x individual impact

In the 90s and 00s, I expect fake generation would have been packaged up and made available for local execution.

Now? In that age, there are a ton of mobile and/or walled garden users, even assuming technical sophistication.

But as a counterpoint, the resulting images are trivially shared. So only one member of a social group needs to have the production means for it to be a problem. :/

I agree, but Devil's advocate, consider

1) when buying for young kids. Minors don't always have ID and are rarely expected to have them in public.

2) when you buy for a group. You may not have everyone's ID on hand at once, and it makes it harder for honest friends to get tickets together. You don't need to sit together at PAX.
Due to laziness / ignorance / some combination of both, many domains that use Amazon can be trivially spoofed by anyone else who can send via Amazon. Last I checked, that was true of outlook.com, too. I think there was a recent article about it...

These companies are so hungry for money, they forget that their products need anything else at all after they get to the "charge customer money for service" part. Companies have been told about issues like these for ages now, yet they all act so surprised when the same ancient problem pops up, time and time again.
Usually early in a flight, and once it's established that there are some empty seats - that is, occupying an empty one rather than asking someone to switch. Although I once got on a 12-hour red eye flight that was full, settled in and, before takeoff, had a girl a few rows in front of me come back and politely ask the man next to me if he'd switch seats with her. She didn't like the company up there, I guess. He agreed, and she and I ended up hitting it off and sharing a hotel room at our destination. Which is admittedly a rather one-off situation...

I've also had the opposite situation, where I was desperate to switch but couldn't. The worst case was when I got the last seat on a flight and found myself between this completely asshole older couple where, it came out, the man would only fly in a window seat and his wife would only sit on the aisle. They bickered at each other over me for 3 hours as if I wasn't even there, and both refused to switch with me, going so far as to claim they both got airsick if they sat in a middle seat. Obviously, it wasn't even worth asking anyone else on the plane to switch, but I've never wanted to kill anyone as much.
If you immutably tied tickets to names, everyone's name would have to be verified to be Mr. Ticket Master, grand scalper.

This is really neat, thanks for sharing! To my recollection, I did actually come across GFXFont during my investigations on how to handle font exports, but I wasn't aware of the existence of any online tools which exported to that format.
I cannot believe how absurd and out of hand this has gotten.

Why did we not all standardise on some _well_known. subdomain or similar for these dozens of records?

The part that gives me an eye twitch is so many domains have multiple verifications for the same group, your own example has Google three times for example. The reason being one marketing company sets up Analytics. A few months later, a different company expects to be authorised to run another set, but all the admins get told is "you have to add this record".
Would we go back to the days where some people camp out for days to get in first? I wonder how much worse it'd be in times where everyone is connected and you can google all the details and timings needed.
