Looks like we're all solving the same problems. I've used jwilder/nginx-proxy for the same purpose.

Letsencrypt certificates, reverse proxy and all this stuff. Took a bit, but at the end of the day, I'd only have to specify "testing.example.org" in the docker-compose, docker-compose up and everything would be routed correctly. I could check out a different branch and bring up "staging.example.org" within 10 seconds. Sadly, it only worked at home, where this real domain would be hooked up to my private router.

Then, however, it was 10 times better than port routing, localhost development certificates and all the other stuff you need to have just to test something that uses the camera on the mobile device.
it'd be incredible if they analyzed what sorts of users (based on their comments) recommend each book, I guess with percentages (e.g. "80% who recommend Ayn Rand are right-leaning")

Access to cash is a right. You can buy gift type credit cards and periodically "recharge" them for use. It seems to work fine for those who have to use it, but I have no idea what regulations, if any, are protecting those customers.

Anyways, extending this idea to also include an ECH account attached to the payment account is probably not difficult to accomplish and is probably where federal reserve efforts could improve outcomes without forcing banks to take on customers.

Should be noted that in most of the EU cashback programmes are also not as big as in the US. Never heard of anyone getting "2% back from everything".

That said, a middleman that takes a smaller fee is still much better for the economy than a middleman that takes in an oversized fee and then magnanimously hands back a chunk of it.

Especially when that middleman is a worldwide oligopoly with far too much power. I try to use local e-payment systems whenever possible.
To an extent, because attention is a limited (albeit renewable) resource. But I had in mind something closer to terrain, in the strategic/military sense. For example I think Musk bought Twitter not to make money off it but to have strategic control of a piece of near-realtime digital broadcast infrastructure. See also this paper on the structural nature of digital echo chambers: https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.14501
The thing is, almost every time when people put negative conditions (that you must not meet in order to qualify for something else) every condition is disqualifying, and that idea is expressed with "or". Which of these sounds more natural to you?

"You can have some of my pie if you don't have eggs, sausages, and bacon."

"You can have some of my pie if you don't have eggs, sausages, or bacon."

To me the second one sounds more natural. The first one sounds very unusual. I can have pie only on the condition that I don't have all three things? Okay... It sounds so strange because no one ever says that. I can't see someone using "and" there if they didn't mean it, because it's such an unusual grammatical construction.
Yes, and I agree in most cases.
But the previous example is not one of those.
I didn't say perfect or accurate. I said "more statistically representative". As compared to the OP. And I stand by that.

No, it doesn't, in my very humble opinion. I know Sam harris (and Dennett) and I'm aware of his Ph.D in neuroscience, and when I put a quotation, I meant he's not really a topic expert on this or anything else based the depth of the content he provide as it makes him more like a Journalist with clear agenda, I wasn't talking about his academic credentials. I wonder why he's so hyped in certain circles though.
No, this has never happened that I know of. I just did 10 years in jail because of a mistake of putting an or instead of an and. Long story.

What happens is that the judges can go back to all the formal recorded debates of the legislators concerning this law to try and figure out their intent.

In my case it was just someone making a typing error because the police rushed into the legislative chamber and demanded a literal last-minute change to a completed bill. They fixed it six months later when someone noticed it. No helping anyone in the meantime who is affected by the error though. It is very, very rare that a judge will go against the wording of a law even if it is literally insane.
> The government shouldn’t even need to get involved here. In the UK accounts have no standard charge and come with free debit card.

Well, in the UK, fee-free basic bank accounts are the result of government regulation(1).

It was part of the UK's implementation of Directive 2014/92/EU (2), which mandated access to basic bank accounts across the EU (of which the UK was then a part).

> How do you possibly regulate that?

The government could send an order to the software developer to patch out that turning completeness, and ban the software if it's not complied.

I get what you mean, it's never possible to 100% limit things. But if you limit things 98% so that the general public does not have access that's more than enough for authoritarian purposes.
> So long as the only houses they DO toss are ones where a judge has reviewed the evidence,

I think that actual process is that judge agrees to anything cops ask for, not evidence review is going on.
So it seems like it was a mistake to let go of control of the foundation as one of the original founders? But if you have to (I see there were health reasons), doesn't a foundation have a charter, where one could put the intention that e.g. 50% of funds go directly to software development, or something?
Yet another example how perverse foundations turn out to be, and FOSS isn't immune to such things.
> It's a real problem that some people cannot afford the fees on a bank account

Plenty of banks offer no minimum checking accounts. Whenever this gets dug into, the fees they supposedly can’t afford are when their balances go negative, which is harder to justify being free.
I don't think D has VLAs.

Between the fact that most modern languages don't have VLAs and that the languages you mention are most certainly not modern, your statement of: "Also note that most other languages except C++ also have VLAs." is not even close to correct.

Yea, both of those things mean participating in a debt-based system. If your money is all on loan from your credit card company, or in a bank that charges you fees to get it out, you literally have nothing. I don't give a flying fuck how expensive the hamburger is, the same thing applies to Dollar General or to tickets to the opera. A company FORCING consumers to use their money through a middle man bank creates a private currency that undermines the full faith and credit of the US government which itself is the only bulwark against mafias taking a piece of every transaction... and is only so because we have some say in its constitution. The government's assertion that we have a right to trade with its currency as opposed to that of a private bank is the assertion of our rights as citizens, not slaves to any given mafia or corporate power.

I think the article points out that there are no easy wins at all. Sure, you could try to update the compression algorithm any time it gives a small, easy win (and as others have pointed out, his approach to comparing algorithms is debatable)

The interesting part of the article to me is: okay, now that we have a better compression option, how do we deploy it to an existing ecosystem? And suddenly we're looking at a 4 year migration path!

No easy win at all.
Just seems odd to ask a bunch of random strangers who cannot know YC's internal decisions or policies rather than ask the party who makes those.
Almost every comment is about politics, choice, privacy, rights,

There's a completely different take; Civic resilience

From an operational and strategic security POV, cash is a vastly
superior technology. It doesn't need electricity, a network of cables,
satellites and routers.

Therefore cash in circulation acts as a buffer that provides economic
stability and continuity of operations.

Also, take a look at a modern European bank note, like we have in the
UK. It's a sophisticated technology. It's not like we still have
Roman coins that any blacksmith can forge.

There are many good, but more subtle reasons for preserving the use of
cash, and regulating business practices if necessary to do so.

I've initiated a quirky yet exciting project called "One Million Coffees" over at Buy Me A Coffee. The idea is whimsical—aiming to drink one million coffees ASAP. But there's a twist—it's a 'Proof of Coffee' before unveiling something substantial.

Every coffee bought inches us closer to the big reveal. I believe the HN community, with its insatiable curiosity and love for unique ideas, will appreciate this fun endeavor. It's not just about coffee, but the community we build and the surprise that unfolds as the coffee counter soars.

Feel intrigued? Check out the project here and contribute a coffee or two to fuel this adventure. Together, let's brew something remarkable!

Venting About Startup Legal Struggles – Share Your Experience
As a startup, it's pretty tough to hire a lawyer or consult with a lawyer for your everyday questions. Also, creating legal documents and reviewing them with a lawyer seems to be very costly, mainly if you are a bootstrapped company. I know there are template providers out there who provide static templates, but they will probably not be compliant or tailored for your business. What are some other legal issues you'll have running your business? I'm very interested to know your perspectives.

Most often when people engage in small crime, they are not engaging in smart behavior overall. Having phone with them is just one of multiple stupid decisions that were done that week. They are used to have smartphones with them all the time, so they do not think about them at all.

Another pretty common way of catching you is that you brag to friends or family about the crime and one of them tells the cops.

Which, societally, is a good thing. Credit card rewards programmes are a tax on everyone that disproportionately affects the lowest earners who aren't availing of cashback.
This wouldn't be altering the law they were convicted or sentenced under so ex post facto doesn't apply to this, even if that seems illogical. This is a later law that tries to reduce sentencing for some existing convictions, I believe.

I've recently wondered about any [1].

It seems there are certain situations where I interpret any to mean all, or any and all:

> from any floor, you can use the fire escape to reach the ground

> ensure we have proper licensing for any software we depend upon

> press any key, 3 times

> aim to dress for any weather

These seem obviously plural, but I don't know if I should expect everybody to agree. Clearly all would be better, when it makes sense.

Still, more commonly, it's any single from the set of "all", for some all.

Agreed. More clarity would help.

Maybe he wanted to start drawing a salary in order to resume working on Processing again, and the board said no. (That isn’t my first guess about what’s happening, based on the highly polarizing content on the foundation’s website but the thought did cross my mind.)
Usually a high court will refer to the recorded texts of legislative debates to help guide them in situations like this. But it might not have ever come up on the record.
This is what I thought immediately; "this... may be slightly ambiguous. They must have case records somewhere to give me an idea."

If YOU were a judge/jury, would you really want to stake years of someone's life over what ended up being a typo by an overworked intern?

While the premise doesn't seem to be true (according to comments), one thing I noticed is at least in my case search results have become extremely "positive". I don't know if it's SEO or not but when I search for things like "sucks" along with anything I still mostly get results praising the thing unless the thing has become a meme like woke Disney. I notice the positivity on YouTube comments too which I first thought was due to the current domininat generation of youth being really nice until I realized channel owners can delete comments.

That “crispness” wears off if you actually live in the culture for a bit and realize it’s just a different way of doing things. It’s really not particularly special.

I’ve been in festivals for Brazilian culture, Taiwanese, etc and they can be just as fulfilling to experience.

The real thing to grapple with is that the tech industry in particular has an almost unhealthy exoticism focus on Japan and it colors and elevates any discussion about it beyond any other culture. Seriously - take a shot every time you see a new Japan-focused article hit the front page of this very site. You won’t be drunk but you’ll finish a bottle faster than you’d think.
You can get it from one trip. Hell, you can even get it from smoking a joint. I know this sounds like something you might see in a DARE campaign but it is real. It's a very under appreciated risk of psychedelics. If you define HPPD as some level of negative visual changes that interfere with functioning I actually think a lot of people who have used psychedelics would quality to some extent. The question is: how significant are the changes? Are we talking almost imperceptible extra visual white noise or maybe like what I experienced that even made it harder to read and see at night. HPPD does seem to fade but it can take a long time.

The Netflix of Design
Hey there! I think I am a complete stranger to you so let me introduce myself. I am Shayan Ali a graphic designer and in near future I am going to be an agency owner. I am launching a productize service agency named LoopyDesign. I've seen a problem in the market and there is gap that I want to bridge with my design skills.

The problem: The problem is business have design teams and in-house designer to do all the design work for them but, these people charge a lot. The average rates of graphic designer are $80-$100 per hour plus employment benefits too. The turnaround time is not close to what I will have in LoopyDesign and, the chances of hiring a good designer who knows the craft well are very low too.

The Solution: The solution is that I am going to build a design agency that replaces these expensive designer for one flat monthly fees which will be lower than their salaries, you can get as many design as you want in a month and you only have to pay once. Each design request will be fulfilled within 24 hours and you will be able to pause and play whenever you want.

Special features: LoopyDesign have a lot of special features such as: Delivered within 24 hours, No meeting and No contracts, everything is managed with Trello, Top notch design quality, you can pause and play the service according to your needs and cancel anytime.

I am giving 15 days free trials to businesses just to get some feedback and to see if this is working or not. And, I am building the site and will launch Loopydesign very soon.

Thank you for the other link. I also agree with you about Musk. His intention to purchase twitter was clearly strategic, even as adept as he is at framing everything through the "feelin' cute. might buy twitter. idk" kind of memelord lens or whatever, which might just be strategy, too! Haha

With Musk's deep connections in the US aerospace and defense industry, I often consider him an appealing, useful and distracting front-man for a larger enterprise run by the IC. I don't discount Musk's talents and intelligence. He's a captain of industry, I know some disagree but, that's what I think, he's legit in business.

However, I think he's part of something bigger, and Twitter would be a crown jewel for that, whatever that is--and whatever that is can kind of sketched in contours by the fact that Twitter would be a crown jewel for it. Sorry if this is not clear! I'm kind of in a rush haha :)

Why would you raise prices after? That would just invite competition again. Keep the prices low and competitors away. Maybe raise them to at-cost, but if your Widgets can comfortably cover the cost, then there is no reason to raise prices.
