Sounds like the three of us are "bickering" while others pocket rents.

Unless you are out there somehow getting politicans' assistants to change their bosses' positions at a bar.

Instead, I am organizing in political groups that include politicians' assistants, lawyers, professional urban planners, community organizers, and random politically activated folks like myself. We craft legislation, build coalitions with other political organizations, meet with politicians and their legislative aids, but we don't buy them off in bars because that's a fantasy that doesn't work. If it did, I'd have done it years ago.

But outside that aspect there's the important part of speaking in public spaces to move opinions of those who might similarly be politically activated.

Hacker News is actually a very good place for this. People here tend to be quite active, and can be convinced to make calls to legislators, join organizations, and devote their time to finding more people to do the same.

HN is one of the most LVT-pilled places on the internet. So I will continue bickering on here, finding more folks, and seeing ideas develop and spread among some influential people.
that's fair, and i completely missed that. I remember HAProxy used to have similar verbiage on their main page, back when they were the only software load balancer to be able to sustainably manage 10gbit of throughput. I gave a quick scan of the current intro.txt and there's still some ...

> HAProxy offers a fairly complete set of load balancing features, most of which
are unfortunately not available in a number of other load balancing products

It seems like a minor nit that could be "fixed", especially since the "it gets better" is in reference to "not only smaller, but also much faster" and it's not an insignificant performance increase, it's 100 times faster. Basically everyone (mostly) uses squashfs, and this absolutely trounces it - according to the author.

anyhow i hope my reply wasn't too extra

So part of me feels like the missing component to this nice "obsession" trait you added is the assessment of whether it is finding new information or just reading stale data. I think given known information, humans will either quickly dismiss it (sometimes just a few words into it) or try to appreciate it through a new perspective. The latter seems harder to achieve, but the former seems feasible today—when finding repeated information several iterations in a row, shake everything up and get creative again.

A corollary to that is "obsession" is perhaps balanced by some measure of "boredom"
Now do a quick internet search for “hammersmith bridge”.
This assumes the breadth of "things I will ever want to search in the future" is contained in whatever these "people" consider to be useful knowledge. Should we create such a group and have them thoughtfully consider every present and past field of knowledge, language, place on earth, political/religious viewpoint, and so on.

YouTube has a new design on desktop and everyone is mad about it
In simple terms; lots of competition and much of it is free. If you want basic breaking news, it's all over social media (often from the news sites themselves). If you want sports, tech, gaming, music, entertainment, art or other hobby style news, it's literally on two million websites and forums and YouTube channels specifically made for that one topic, and usually done better than in a newspaper.

So while you could say a decent chunk of the replacement content is worse than what traditional news outlets could offer, it's at least free and exists by the bucket load, meaning the incentive for paying for it is nonexistent for most of the population. Meanwhile the more niche stuff is both free and done better elsewhere, so RIP anyone making money off that anymore.

To make things tougher, getting advertisers to pay for it is becoming a lost cause too, since again, they can advertise in places where metrics and tracking options are better. They'll get way more bang for their buck on social media than they will trying to market on a news site or in a classifieds section or what not.
I think that's more of an auxiliary issue than the "fundamental" one. Space is limited, and a nice (and non-collapsing) bridge could be more convenient for pedestrians than however things would be laid out on the ground even if there wasn't a road there. Safe bridges should be able to exist, whether one would have been needed in this exact spot in an alternate reality or not.

It's also very telling for you to condense "a freeway and a gigantic parking lot" down to "one single driver ever." Five motorists wouldn't have been killed by the collapse alone if "one single driver" was the only one who ever used it.
Maybe it's just because I'm American, but that chart toward the bottom seems all mixed up.

On the non-U side, there are fancy words like Knave, Looking Glass, Spectacles, Lavatory; but also non-fancy words like Die, Lunch, and what?.

On the U side, again there are both: Cemetary, Serviette, Pardon are all fancy; but Mirror, Glasses, Toilet are all non-fancy.

How old is that list, I wonder?

I'd also like to point out that Jam and Preserves are not the same thing, and usage of one over the other is not a matter of fanciness.
Canada uses pencil too. Erasing ballots and remarking them is never an issue, why would it be?

The security is in how ballots are treated, how they are monitored and handled, not how they are marked. It's never a problem that they are in pencil. Ever.

If someone has an opportunity to monkey with the ballots? The system has already failed.

As I said in another post, if you think you found a hole, it's because you didn't research what's actuallly happening.
Wow, Gitlab has gotten ridiculous. They're making me sign up for an account, verify email, go through two captchas, and fill out a survey before they'll let me view the repository.

I haven't maintained it like I told myself I would, but regarding an offline repository of useful data, I made a school project a while back that aimed to fill that very niche. It was composed entirely of open source, public domain, and creative commons software, documentation (including survival guides and whatnot), and blueprints (eg buildings, greenhouses, farm equipment, tools, etc) for somebody with no internet connection, and it all fit on 16GB. Originally I distributed it under the Other -> Other category of PirateBay mostly for kicks because it was all free to share and I enjoy the distributed nature of torrents.

I've been tempted to go back and do it better, but then a career and life hit me.

It can be found at signalbundle.com for anyone interested, though I warn you that it's pretty long in the tooth at this point, and I eventually opted to host it on Google Drive for availability reasons, but it's still there if anyone's curious and/or has feedback. :)

Hello, I am a retired US citizen living in Argentina. I've been told by the Federal Benefits Unit at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires that my Argentine wife will be eligible to receive survivor benefits after I die, but will have to spend an entire month in the US every 6 months to qualify. She has never lived in the US and doesn't plan to, so she won't qualify for the 5 year residency exemption. Also in order for her to collect spousal benefits she also has to go to the US every 6 months in order to be eligible. Are there any exceptions to these 30 day US travel rules? What type of visa is best for her situation? The Federal Benefits Unit representative mentioned a K visa that doesn't have an expiration date, but I am unable to locate any K visa for her specific circumstances. Thank you very much for volunteering you valuable time. YCombinator is a great source for learning.
Kind regards

> It's not everyone though, just the majority

If the majority of people are misunderstanding what I'm saying, I'm a bad communicator.
If your complaint is actually just that people misunderstand you, this is the only thing you can actually change in this equation.
Your initial comment is not set up like a complaint of capitalism. No one communicating about the woes of capitalism also brings up "both sides." Most who makes an appeal to "both parties are bad" is making an appeal that it doesn't actually matter who they voted for in the last election. Oftentimes this means justifying an unpopular vote.

It's not a useful thing to say "everyone is bad." Especially since, if the Overton Window shifted away from the GOP, I think it would greatly change the acceptability of ideas that would take away the power of capitalism. But the GOP has firmly rooted the Overton Window around the idea that "Capitalism == Good".

If you doubt this, I would ask you to consider what the Overton Window of just the Democratic party is. It's not great, but there's 1000000x more acceptable policy than for whatever you get if you include the GOP.
Did you deliberately gloss over this part?

Yep, I interpreted their message as friendly feedback, not a request or negative criticism. The author is free to take this feedback and act upon it the way they see fit (which can be doing nothing).

It's somewhat how a Show HN post works, you should expect such feedback and might even be coming for it. Especially when it's not your first one, you know a bit better what to expect.
The way to take advantage of the bandwidth of multiple storage devices is to distribute concurrent writes across them, rather than forcing everything to commit sequentially using contended locks or rollbacks.
But they don't own a production operation end to end. They partnered with a print shop, imported the shirts from Serbia, rented space in a warehouse, built a backend service to track it all.
Some places allow you to. I believe it's called right to try.
My understanding (as an iPhone user) is that iOS has 1) a Location permission that a user has to grant to an app, and 2) a Background Refresh permission that’s required for apps to run when they aren’t in the foreground (+/- some grace period I think), and if these are enabled it should prevent apps from gathering this data - whether for advertising or just general fuckery.

Is this inaccurate? I would be very interested to know. Obv this won’t prevent Apple from tracking you, which is important if they are part of your threat model.
>but that's not what this is about, this is about charging for linking to news articles.

Sure, but these things are directly related. It's the scraping that generates the links in question and ultimately earns Google ad revenue. And, if they did pay on the scraping side, then charging for linking would be less relevant. As it is, they're collecting the content, but not paying on either end.

So, it seems if you agree they should pay for the scraping (but they are not), then you wouldn't be opposed to them paying on the other end. In fact, this might be fairer to Google b/c it's pay for performance.

But, more to the point, I was responding to OP's specific-claim that the news sites were attempting to "latch on to a free teat".

No, the news industry isn't still getting money same as before - the total ad revenue the industry is getting has significantly decreased.

Newspaper ad revenue has simply collapsed (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/11/28/audiences...) and it's not being replaced by digital media as digital ad revenue for news industry (as opposed to total digital ad revenue) is shrinking every year.
The most infuriating thing is that an article can take absolutely any stance on an issue simply by cherry picking tweets to go along with it.

News has become a weird kind of curation market. And the funny thing about this payment arrangement that publishers want is that they are not paying any of those tweeters who may be breaking the news or themselves curating the info.
I would guess that you're using Wasm for this. If it's not a secret, can I ask which Wasm libs you're using?
Have you considered using an Employment of Record solution (EOR)?

Utilizing an EOR can streamline the process of compensating an international cofounder, ensuring legal compliance and reducing the administrative burden on your startup. This approach lets you focus more on growing your business while maintaining global operational flexibility.

Just make sure that the EOR is compliant with the country of resident of your cofounder.
Good point. The really old ones are iron.

ETA: Also, the ones that have survived aren't road bridges. They're either railway bridges (and thus were built strong in the first place) or have been relegated to historic preservation/pedestrian use only. Modern cars and (especially commercial) trucks are far heavier than early vehicles. A road bridge built in the 1850s was only designed to carry foot traffic and horsedrawn vehicles.

It is a huge security hole. The problem is that people are using v4 all over the place as a source of “unguessable” tokens. This is not the purpose of a UUID and is wrong of course, but it doesn’t change the reality that many services will become vulnerable if they change UUID schemes.

I have some questions regarding changing of status from F2 to E3 (AUS).

Assuming I hold an F2 visa with which I have entered the US, what are the mechanics to transition a E3 visa? Does form I-129 need to be filed since I am within the US, or can I just leave the US, get the E3 in a different country and re-enter the US using the newly-issued E3 without having to deal with I-129? Any advise on any general problems or technicalities that might be relevant to this change of status?

And one last question, what happens to the F2 assuming the change of status is successful, is it possible to switch back to the F2 after being on the E3?
The publishers didn't do that and it's Apple-only.

Interesting, I've heard a similar theory used to describe the Kim regime of North Korea. In that the Kim regime is basically an extension of the Lee dynasty of Joseon and the three generations of Kims are basically kings in all but name.

Those sites rely on sites like Facebook and Google linking to their content to lead readers in. With the ban on Canada their public campaign has made that obvious.

Heat pumps work down to -25C. Cold climates get colder than that. Sure most cold climates are typically above that, but it only takes one night every 10 years to hit those temperatures and a heat pump alone does not work. You need a backup. Of cousre once we have a backup we can ask if it is cost effect - heat pumps get less efficient as temperatures go down - when you need the most heat, so it may be most cost effective to install a heat pump that doesn't even work to that cold (perhaps it does but is under sized?) and just use backup heat when it is cold.
Last time I tried (which is >2y ago, so things might have improved), dependabot seemed like an afterthought for GitHub.

For example, at some point GitHub introduced a change that prevented CI builds triggered by forks from accessing secrets in CI variables. This made sense from a security perspective (although I would have a preferred a hard failure instead of variables silently being set to empty), but it also applied to all Dependabot PRs, which I have to assume wasn't intended behaviour. It really seemed like different teams at GitHub weren't talking to each other. An issue was opened about this and got quite heated, but wasn't really resolved (except for some ugly workarounds) before it was locked for becoming too uncivil.

I wonder if they fixed it since.
Pretty sure that's the version that kept calling Google Analytics, and why we got a clean fork "Bypass Paywalls Clean".

Virtually every product and service with a website and social media presence? If you get banned from Google, your visibility online pretty much falls off a cliff and your sales will likely never recover. So anyone making money from a website is dependent on Google and other search engines... well mostly Google indexing said site.

Also, any business whose livelihood depends on a large company's platform. Businesses and entrepreneurs selling their work on Amazon and eBay, YouTubers and Twitch streamers making content for those platforms, influencers in general given their reliance on social media services...
