I think that's the point. Actually retiring as in not doing any work is statistically speaking a steep slippery slope to death.
Good. Nice to see it becoming better funded, but I hope the growth doesn’t bite it in the butt.

I use Plex and turned off all of the sponsored stuff. It’s easy. Jellyfin is neat too but I find Plex to be superior, albeit not open source. Ymmv

I do always wonder why folks complain about Plex ads. It’s pretty trivial to remove all of them.
Reddit used to have a similar thing (r/RedditMinusMods). Eventually when it got to the point that 48-50 out of the top 50 posts were removed every 12 hours, reddit banned the sub for unspecified reasons.

Same. I have a dedicated app for podcasts, I'd rather keep Spotify specialized. Long-term the push to podcasts is simply better economics for Spotify, so they aren't going to stop going in that direction anytime soon.
There was neuroscientist who specialized in amygdala/prefrontal cortex interaction who noted that baseline resets were incredibly important to a functioning, objectively normal fear response.

Absent occasionally getting chased by a tiger, things go a little haywire.

And before you know it, our brains are confusing angry/scared person in our ears or on a screen with an actual reality.

With an occasional baseline reset, we properly note that that situation seems very interesting, but don't confuse it as imminent or affecting us.

Tl;dr - Laying around and not putting yourself in actually physically dangerous situations from time to time results in your fear center becoming overactive.

Hmm... I wonder why older people become progressively more and more obsessed with politics?

Cryptocurrency is a speculative gamble, not an alternative financial system. There’s no path to real world adoption without better cost, performance, fraud control or customer service[1] but the changes needed to deliver negate the concept.

Allright. I bite. Why is the energy cheap enough, to make big mining operations profitable? Why isn't it taxed if it is needed elsewhere. What happens, if there is to much energy being produced by plants? Why is it, that sometimes electricity gets sold for negative rates.

I am not a hardcore bitcoin fan, but I giggle a little when those transactions versus energy consumption arguments come up.
Maybe my views are wrong, I would love to check if somebody can change my opinion on this topic.

This is a clever hack. However, if the intent is serious use, I'd be concerned about resiliency. It sounds like the schedule is maintained in Home Assistant, and that it sends a command to the ESP8266 to dispense food. That means a ton of moving parts have to all be working, otherwise the cat doesn't eat: Home Assistant's server and power source, Wi-Fi, and the $1 microcontroller.

If this is intended for serious usage, i.e. the cat won't eat if it fails to dispense, a different design would be more resilient: maybe still define the schedule in Home Assistant or another control plane, but then have it "push" the whole schedule to the device. The device will also need time sync and a realtime clock. Then, the device manages its scheduled dispensation autonomously, even if the network or control plane are unavailable. And, the dispenser should have a little battery so it can run for a couple days with the power out.
I would actually say that Ctrl+Alt+Del was better known in mid-90s simply because so many people were still on DOS, and that was the proper and documented way to reboot it. Which was not uncommon to do especially since if a DOS app locked up, your entire OS was unusable.
I didn't say I went looking for a Tarantino movie!
I think the underlying argument also misses the “willingness to pay” on at least a couple parts of the transaction. Specifically assuming the grid provider is going to pay you to use their electricity. (Transmission is still costly and maybe turning off capacity is a better option.) Further, missing the core “willingness to pay” for btc or any other cryptocurrency.

Gold worked as a currency as it was independently verifiable from either side of a transaction. Modern currencies work so long as they’re backed by credible assurances of their value. Ie passing off fakes is dangerous and they may be used as “legal tender.” (That term could itself be further defined via google.) crypto currencies seem to lack this functionality. (Not wanting to abide by any law outside core network mechanics is functionally close to establishing a new form of sovereignty. Only sovereignty doesn’t work like that.) Also note how hyperinflation is dangerous to the assurance of value of a currency. Similarly, any form of instability could shake those assurances.

Modern currency is also almost trivially, embarrassingly parallel.

I like Christian. I was a Apollo (Reddit client) user. I supported him during the whole Reddit vs Devs fiasco of 2023.

I'm not sure this is a good idea. YouTube (Google) intentionally didn't want to put up their app on the AppStore. They had their reasons. Ignoring their reasons and creating an app using their APIs and putting up an app in the AppStore against their will, just doesn't seem like a good move here.
Kudos to the team, but why on earth should i choose React when we’ve now reached a point where it needs an optimization compiler, seems silly to be honest.
I hate working as much as anyone else but the problem is disruption of routine. People don't handle infinite freedom very well either.

Thus, HOAs are dominated by retirees. It gives them a new routine (with a side order of authority), through which they promptly impose their outdated ideas on everyone else.

The flip side of this are the hedonists who buy an RV and tour every swinger venue across America. Even this "freedom" establishes a routine-- usually involving driving, partying, finding an urgent care clinic for more Doxycyclene, and repeating until death/disability.

My grandmother was neither an HOA Nazi nor a swinger. She watched TV until she got Alzheimer's and spent her final decade dismantling every bathroom fixture she encountered. Even in extreme mental illness, we seek routine.

I would think those employees exist because people demand a whole bunch of services from the financial system, like fraud protection, chargebacks/disputes, customer support, and so on. If you stripped down Visa or whatever to its bare minimum of just processing online transactions, I'm sure it could do it pretty efficiently. Conversely, if all our money ran on Bitcoin, I'm sure most people would still want to interact with companies that provide extra services and support on top, and then you'd be back in the same place.

I wish there was a Joe Rogan's podcast where all of Joe is edited out, and I get to enjoy the guests without any of his commentary about the crazy college kids, and the woke cultural marxists, elk meat and DMT trips.

Same with the Lex Friedman podcast, where we don't have to listen to the "Tell me how this is all about love" question ever again.

I didn't propose anything, I'm just nitpicking HN's nitpicking of attempts to have a real conversation.

Which, since HN is a place for technically minded people, has resulted in people arguing that chemical contamination of PFAS is categorically the same as watering my lawn.

You are technically correct, but this is called a "gotcha": it's not about continuing the conversation in earnest, if anything, it shuts down conversation about the important details by, in the writing of mike judge, "playing lawyerball" instead.

In reality we all know that none of us are writing the technical legislation, so any of us becoming enamored with defending for profit entities against hazardous chemical classification through technical usage of language is...basically the core spirit of corporate lobbyism.

When I was in elementary school, I was in the demographic that would end up with a criminal record.

To help channel our anger and angst as the children of immigrants documented and undocumented, our local PD linked a couple of us hot headed kids with boxing/martial arts lessons.

They were fairly useful in channeling that angst into something more constructive

I left Spotify when they signed Rogan the first time. Rogan was spreading disinformation about COVID, that was potentially dangerous. Rogan's fans trust him and information they hear on his show, and when that information is potentially dangerous, that is unethical on Rogan's part.

Also, Spotify pay artists the least of the streaming services per track. I don't consider Spotify ethical.

Oh and after being treated to lossless fidelity streaming on other platforms, Spotify sounds like trash.

Don't use Spotify.

Property Meld | Senior Software Engineer | Full-time | Remote (US & Canada) or Rapid City, SD

Looking for something more meaningful? How about the opportunity to have a direct impact on the property maintenance experience for hundreds of thousands of residents?

Welcome to the future of property maintenance. Property Meld’s vision is to radically improve how the property management industry handles property maintenance. If you’ve ever had a maintenance issue at your housing rental, you know how much of a pain it can be to get it fixed quickly and reliably. It doesn't have to be this way. We're rethinking the entire property maintenance experience from the ground up with two things in mind - first, driving the cost of doing maintenance to the absolute minimum, and second, providing an experience to residents and property owners that makes them want to stay with their property manager. If you are excited about turning something that has historically been a negative experience (maintenance) into a positive experience, we'd love to talk with you.

ah very sorry about the dialog being too large. Which phone have you used it on? I should really fix this.

I've tested on an iphone mini, and even though the dialog is quite big on it, so I should indeed try and shrink it, it doesn't prevent completing the tutorial. But it looks like I wrongly assumed this would be the smallest phone I could test it on.

And as far as I know, the empty tiles only gets uncovered if you uncover another empty one, so I followed this principle. If that was also the case when you uncover a number, this would reveal too much.
Agreed. It's like Amazon Video's slide towards being an advertising supported cable company.

No company owes anybody being a company of a specific sort.

And it's a nigh impossible battle to argue in favor of an order of magnitude less profitable business model if there are more profitable alternatives.

If you live in California you likely have an enormous amount of chloroform in your water (I tested my water, was horrified, and bought a whole-house water filter; apparently this is just generally true in the Bay Area, and I suspect SoCal as well since we pipe our water down there).
I ended up switching to Qobuz for that reason basically. It's much more music-focused than Spotify and the editorial content is pretty good (lots of albums have an "about" section which gives you some context about the album).

> Spotify has locked Joe Rogan into another “multiyear” contract worth as much as $250 million, per The Wall Street Journal, though the audio giant will no longer be the sole distributor of his popular podcast.

Is the $250M figure for each year? Or is it a 5 year deal worth $50M annually? Kind of a big difference (though both scenarios involve FU-money, of course).

More importantly, Spotify is giving up their exclusivity. This is great! I had to download their app and make an account just to listen to a clip one time. I look forward to deleting the app forthwith.
My opinions:
* write in Pandoc Markdown.
* give each sentence its own line. It helps with composing and reordering, and gives much cleaner diffs if you keep this in a git repo.
* personally, I used GitHub for html, Pandoc to make the epub, then Calibre to turn the epub into a pdf.

The "internal links" thing is a pain, admittedly. I have an idea for a workaround:

* sprinkle hidden, unique <a id="ch1.2"></a> around

* on GitHub, use links like chapter1#ch1.2

* for Pandoc, preprocess to remove the filename before the #

I really don't care about IPv6 or IPv4. In my neck of the woods, 10.0.0.0/8 is more than I would ever need. Most architectures I've seen only realistically need only a handful of public IPs, that then are assigned to a load balancer that does service discovery on internal services. I don't think about IP addresses at all.
Luckily, we have the legal system in place, so when they step over lines, a pittance fine is leveraged.

This presupposes there is some way to know what human nature is.

The best definition I've ever found is "altruistic and cooperative with an in-group, competitive and aggressive towards out-groups".

And that doesn't say much at all on this particular point.
I give myself the right, as having an opinion. It feels like you're saying that all opinions are equally valid and that we shouldn't strive to critically evaluate and debate things.

While there are different ways to evaluate any given topic, all opinions are not equally valid.

Because what we get in return is so incredibly tiny with Bitcoin. Less than 450k transactions per day, world wide. With most of them just people speculating.
Power consumption is one side of the coin. The net utility is another:

- With sufficient demand-scaling, Bitcoin incentivizes more power generation capacity since it's the buyer of first resort, establishing some floor on electricity price. This makes additional investment into renewables etc. more sustainable. E.g. where I live, there are days of slightly negative prices, and those clearly are not sustainable, so Bitcoin is the perfect way to ensure we get plentiful cheap energy with continuing investments.

- There's a case to be made that there are more and longer wars under fiat currencies since money-printing is a hidden tax that no one votes for, making it possible to fight in wars that exhaust all state resources, whereas under a Bitcoin standard the wars would be few and limited in scope.

Additionally, US Space Force's Jason Lowery argues that Bitcoin is a weapons technology in cyberspace, and the global Bitcoin mining competition is a form of "soft war", and further argues that a constant "soft war" is more efficient way to defend property rights.

The latter two points are not yet all that salient but imo that is the world we're heading towards inevitably. Bitcoin eventually outcompetes other forms of money as a layered technology and leads to this "hyperbitcoinized" world where they hold true.

Any large bureaucracy seems to do that. Either you have a relatively flat org chart, but then teams have limited visibility past their "neighbors". Or you have a deeply nested hierarchy, where there's a clear path to route requests to any given place, but it takes ages because of all the red tape involved in escalating it sufficiently to route it properly (and then people try to avoid that hassle).

That’s why I threw Putin into the mix. As well as spending the resources of the Russian state to fund houses and whatnot as elaborate as American billionaires, he has his enemies murdered in fairly spectacular fashion (polonium, nerve agent, blowing up their plane, as well as a spate of falling out of high-rise windows).
Unless you have an electorate wide multi-member electorate (not as common as proportional systems rare) you will require geographic electoral boundaries to be drawn.

The UK’s AV referendum was not for proportional representation but instant runoff voting for single member electorates. Which is a better system but in the UK in 2011 clearly would benefit the Lib Dems much more than actual multi member electorates would.
