Lol, yes, shadowy "admins" (there really is primarily just one, dang), and "senior" users, as if there is some hidden way to become senior. This isn't Reddit, and it doesn't work that way.

The behavior of who gets downvote and flagging rights is clearly spelled out. It's available to anyone who's been on the site long enough (and it's not that long, at all). I see this all the time where people complain about "being censored", where the reality is the community has heard what you have to say, we just think it sucks. That's not censorship, that's pretty politely stating we would prefer HN not become the cesspool of online discourse that pervades nearly all other online forums.
The fact that you're on this website typing with a computer means that your life has been materially altered by the development of computers, thanks to all of the hours of the humans that came before us, working learning and building, to bring technology, and you are using that technology to explain that you don't want to use that technology to prolong your life.

Getting laid off doesn't end health insurance, it's ironically bad journalism that they included that misleading question, from an apparently uninformed person.

The typical flow would be: current insurance continues unaltered for the rest of the month. Following month you're automatically covered under same policy through COBRA provisions even if you take no action. (Obviously some employers would include multiple months of employer-paid coverage, but this example is a worst-case scenario if they don't give any additional coverage in severance).

Somewhere in the 60 days following getting laid off, you need to decide between A) sign up to continue your existing insurance plan through COBRA B) sign up for a new insurance plan through healthcare.gov (subsidized if low income) or C) sign up on your spouse's plan if applicable.

It's a hassle, but you have a couple months to figure out what's best for you, and you can continue any ongoing things without interruption.
A great example of Survivorship bias, plus... it's painting.

You don't build roads, bridges and houses only with painters.

Also, you are/were a investment banker. You aren't hiring the average American painter.

It's like hiring Picasso to paint your family and saying that he can do his job in his 60s and travel the world with the money.
You're zeroing in on the actual answer to "why did we replace these awesome high-speed text interfaces with slow GUIs?" Businesses aren't stupid or irrational: they switched because they moved to an employment model based on a disposable labor force, where workers wouldn't be expected to stick around long enough for training to be worth it, so it was more important to make an interface that was good enough for the endless revolving door of untrained users.
> meant for the other sectors. You've picked one that didn't fit what I said to "prove" I am wrong

I picked the second-largest hiring category since the largest one, private education and healthcare, is less generous to your argument: it’s filled with high-paying, rewarding jobs.

> About wages being higher: are you taking inflation into account?

Yes [1].

> the US is so big and inequality is so huge there that inflation country numb reis completely uneven and pointless

Varied, yes. Even given the variance, it’s difficult to find large cohorts who don’t have a higher real wage today than any time other than Q4 2019 to Q4 2021 (stimulus). That doesn’t mean life doesn’t suck for a lot of people, just that it’s better for most and far better for many.

For years I got a spam call every morning during my commute to work. I found Lenny the automated old person who would keep callers on the line from anywhere from 2-20 minutes.

It really was fun listening to callers freak out when they realized what was happening.
It's worth noting here (even though I also use vim/markdown/typst, and Word is a thing of the past) that markdown does say something more than "just the text".

It puts the header notation and style (like italic, etc) in-line. So does Typst or LaTeX, and I can't think of any typical stand-off examples for headers and such, but it does muddy the text in-line in that sense.
It typically doesn't really slow down the writing, but if you're writing \# as comments for code, then don't have those wrapped in \`\`\`, you can get some problems.

I would describe such an enterprise as profit making, if the sharing is truly voluntary.

The persistent existence of surplus revenue implies the excess of resource production over resource consumption i.e profit.

However, if this sharing is involuntary it's likely the true cost of labour is higher it first appears. For example, bankers' bonuses and engineers' stock options are important parts of labour cost for the relevant enterprises.

“9 out of 12,000”
All good tips. I'd add:

- Take a break every hour to stretch, have tea, do chores. Set a timer for this.

- Sit outdoors to take calls and do paper-based work. It feels nice.

- If you don't have a fixed schedule, stop working as soon as your productivity dwindles. Go ride your bicycle or do something meaningful. Don't stay at your desk for the sake of appearances.

- Set up coworking days with friends. It's just nice to have company.

Firstly, you just keep describing a loan and then demanding it’s not a loan. A distinction without a difference. Secondly, people take out loans all the time for small businesses. Thirdly, whatever you want to call it is not a boolean endeavor; investment wouldn’t drop to zero if a limit to profits were introduced, it would drop proportionately to the cap.

The question was how to spur productivity growth, and I think an answer involves looking at the conflicting nature of profit motives. I don’t know what the answer is, but I think looking there will be more fruitful than blaming technology, based on my limited exposure to classical economics.
> he couldn't make enough money to pay child support doing that

That’s my point. These aren’t traditionally high-paying jobs. The fact that they are right now says something.
>> Damn that private sector for inventing things that create progress. Let's pretend it's actually stopping progress when it creates progress.

The software may be beneficial, but the siphoning off of "profit" only benefits the company owners. It's friction. That's not to say it's bad.

I once had a conversation with a reasonably successful investor. I tried to point out that he didn't contribute anything and get lectured on how hard he works to pick good investments. I really had to spell it out - the money comes from a transaction between the company and its customers. The customer gets something and the company gets money. The money pays for the employees who make the things or provide the service or whatever. Profit goes to the owners/investors but it really does nothing for the people who actually provide something or pay for that something. There was a time when a company issued shares to raise money, and those investors actually did something for the company. Every trader since then is simply trying to profit on what those before them did while offering zero value in the actual transactions making money for the company.

I'm not saying that's bad, its how the system works today and it seems to work reasonably well. But lets not pretend the "profit" isn't friction between the parties involved in the transactions that lead to that profit.

I challenge this as someone who frequents Thailand and the SEA region. You can get a nice condo (short-term airbnb/utilities paid) for $500 or less; only 20 minutes from central Bangkok. Sure, more expensive options exist. But comparing Switzerland to Thailand when it comes to living costs is plain ridiculous.

PriEco: Open-source, private search engine
Hello Hacker news community!
I am a founder of PriEco and would like to tell you about it.
Link: https://search.jojoyou.org/

PriEco is a web search engine. Its initial goal was to provide the world with a fully private and eco-friendly search engine.
It never tracks you, stores, sells nor shares your data. The only analytics we have is a daily search count, no user count nor anything else. As well as your IP address is never saved to the disk. Future privacy-friendly analytics may come, but they will 100% be opt-in. PriEco is hosted in Switzerland!

Unfortunately, along our journey we needed to choose between increased PriEco's privacy, security, and control and its eco-friendliness. With help of community vote, we decided to temporarily get rid of eco-friendliness as not many people actually cared about it and people wanted more privacy and security. Nonetheless, as time goes, we are fully committed to one day bring it back. By eco-friendliness I mean: efficient software, hosted on servers powered by energy from renewable sources and even donating part of our profit to charities.

A really praised feature of PriEco is that it is open source with AGPL v3 license. There are not many search engines that are open source and no mainstream ones.
Source code: https://codeberg.org/JojoYou/PriEco
License: https://codeberg.org/JojoYou/PriEco/src/branch/master/LICENCE.md

Now I would like to talk about search results sources. We get results from most of the big sources: Google, Bing, Brave search and Mojeek, and some smaller sources as https://openverse.org/. Not only that, but we are building our own index.
It currently has indexed:
1 387 604 web pages
1 846 635 images
1 574 171 search suggestions
1 027 634 reddit posts
141 258 youtube videos
134 634 wikipedia sites
54 920 news articles
it is still growing, faster and faster as time goes on!

Other than this there are more interesting features as multi bang and many upcoming.

Thank you for reading my post, if you have any questions or suggestions, I am here and ready to respond to your feedback.
Some computing seems like a foundational skill nowadays, for any science or technology related field. How are you going to do data analysis if you can’t slap together some Python or R or something, right?

I wonder if it is really hard for recruiters and HR people to separate out people like you, from somebody who only has seen programming in a very limited fashion.

Lawyers don’t get extra points for not being illiterate, right?
> Firstly, you just keep describing a loan and then demanding it’s not a loan

Selling a part of your future profits is not a loan. That is your made up definition.

It is impossible to discuss with you if you change the meaning of words like this to suit your own views.
Some feedback by the way: might want to sort the dates in reverse chronological order so the newest removed stories show up first :D
China I definitely needed a business visa to go to a conference. Malaysia was some sort of visa on arrival thing. Indonesia I don't remember but it wasn't something I had to get ahead of time and that was business. Japan I don't need a visa from the US nor Singapore; ditto for Europe.

It's entirely possible if I needed a visa for some of the countries I've been to, I might have needed a business visa of some sort for customer meetings etc. But I've very rarely needed to get a visa for countries I've traveled to.
In the US, usually not - but the US is comparatively spoiled for IPv4 blocks. It's pretty common in a lot of places for ISP customers to share public-facing IPs. This causes all sorts of issues with people being unfairly spam blacklisted, etc.

You don’t need a direct alternative to youtube to stop using youtube. You can just not deal with it, or access it via browser when needed, and use other platforms/media more instead. It might even become irrelevant on its own, like facebook and google search are slowly becoming.

But sure, if that’s not enough and you need a clone of youtube then yes, you need to develop a new youtube.
So then, are you building your backend API directly to meet the needs of your front-end? Or are you trying to keep it generic for all needs, but also serve the front-end? Are you telling the front-end team to download multiple resources from multiple endpoints when they need to render one thing? Do you have real life other consumers of your API? Are you juggling their requirements vs internal requirements? Is your backend team telling the frontend "it's not a good API design if we give you exactly what you need, so instead please pull these multiple resources?"

Can you adequately measure your page load performance when front-end is making many parallel requests to the back-end and not all of them are required to consider the page "loaded"?

There are countless architectural downsides associated with not just giving the front-end exactly what they need, and there has to be a very good upside for doing this. Front-end freedom is not one of them, because the freedom is minimal and mostly accidental. A good upside can be: you're building specifically an API for building your kind of web application, and you want to dogfood your own work. Otherwise, it seems an incredible amount of unnecessary contention and complexity.

That said, I don't disagree that it _kind of works_ the way you describe, but it could've worked a lot better if your API could just give the front-end exactly what they need. You could've designed it with the exact same process, and they could've worked off of mocks the same way. They just would have all the data sent to them in a much more streamlined fashion.

When I had more downtime I’d spend a lot of time browsing /new.

There’s a wealth of great blogposts that show up there which don’t always make it to the front page (understandable; we only have so much attention to give).

My thoughts exactly after seeing how many Confluence servers were reporting as F5 devices. That's exactly what BIG-IP does...

I wouldn't conclude that to be a honeypot. If anything, BIG-IP and Confluence are frequently used by the same kinds of companies, so I would expect the majority of that first query to be real Confluence servers. Queries 2-4 probably did a better job filtering out real honeypots.

In reality, there might be about as many honeypots as there are real Confluence servers, which is still far too many, but not quite as extreme a disparity as suggested by the numbers in this article.
That's excellent, thank you, and answers some things I didn't understand about colour spaces in general succinctly too.
