I agree, we have a lot of difficult questions to answer. (Founder of Val Town here)

Now we work well with small amounts of code, great for integrations, prototypes, internal tools, hackathon projects, home-cooked apps. You could think of us like "zapier for developers" or "retool but in code". Both of those companies built huge businesses without figuring out a lot of those issues. But we're hopeful we'll figure them out.

eddd-ddde is totally right that we're building a higher-level abstraction, like Heroku did, so we do avoid some complexity that way, and have better scale-to-zero economics, ie no need to lug around a whole file system for each runnable code.

The hard questions I'm currently focused on are working with groups of "vals" (ie folders or projects or some other abstraction), so you can fork, branch, and version them as a group. Part of me just wants to go back to files and folders and leverage git & github, but there's also something really powerful about live, rich, web objects, like tweets or a hacker news thread, that don't map well to files and folders. I really love this public discussion with some of my advisors and main investor about the tradeoffs of files & folders: https://github.com/val-town/val-town-product/discussions/106

We have a great investor (Dan Levine) who knows that these sorts of products take time. We have a small team (currently 4) which means on our current fundraise (5.5m) we have 3-5 years to figure some of these things out. If any of these problems sound interesting and worth tackling to you, we're hiring :)

Such a cap would have a whole slew of bad effects, many unforeseeable. It's not even possible to say if the world wide Internet would be possible with an arbitrary size or scope limit. Even worse if it did work; the imposition of such a control scheme would create a corporate of far more power (and likely worse tendencies) than any that currently exist.

> the goal of a book isn’t to get to the last page, it’s to expand your thinking.

I would apply this to fiction books too. Some people consider reading fiction books a waste of time.

But fiction books too can expand your mind by exploring ideas that may not be possible in non-fiction books or exploring the same ideas but in a way that non-fiction books cannot achieve easily or at all.
That is what I have repeated so many times in the last 2 years over and over. I consider Yi Tay's response [1] a mere technicality that is actually irrelevant. What is relevant is how predictable "interpolatable" the data are, how predictable we are.

Show HN: List of .com domains that would make good startup names
Hey folks,

Naming companies is hard. At Monzo we had to change the original name after an annoying trademark dispute.

So we launched a fun little side project that sells cheap .com domains that would make good startup names.

They are unique, short, easy to say and don't mean anything, so you can fill them with meaning - just like Google or Twilio did.

You can check it out here: https://garple.com

I know that tactic and the response to this argument is: Two wrongs do not make it right. Just because the they did a wrong the others should be permitted to do it or continue doing it until the other party stops...wink wink?
The answer to that is NO. That is whataboutism and a smoke screen.

But let's entertain those smokescreens even just to see where it leads:

The second Gulf war was outright wrong agreed. The hawks had their day and it was a dark one and all that followed because of it. A falling from grace.
No argument there. But it is not an argument one should make when arguing over operations done by other countries especially since it is not related and long past and the current subject of discussion is happening right now.

I wouldn't want to lend my neighbor a canister either if I knew he chooses to use it to write not so funny stuff in burning letters into my front lawn. I would not be surprised if other militaries would do the same thing if they were to lend their equipment at all.

Was that even a real operation?

> There is much I left aside ofc, including anything related to the support of the ongoing "military operation" against the palestinian people.

That one is a doozy. The US made it clear that Israel should do more to shield civilians from harm. But let's be clear.
Israel and the US are the wrong party to be mad at.
If you want to be mad: be mad at Hamas, at Iran for supporting Hamas and at China and Russia for using it in a game of Geopolitical checkers in the UN security council.
Without the scourge that is Hamas, who still continue to shoot missiles from South Gaza and who deny a sovereign nation the right to exist, non of this would've happened.
Hamas uses the Palestinian people as shields, uses humanitarian institutions(e.g. hospitals) as hide outs and ammunition storages and subverts aide organizations created to help the people in the Gaza strip. They also slaughtered innocent civilians and kidnapped 100s a few months ago.
And the people in Gaza should also be mad at their long ago elected inapt and impotent president and their dysfunctional governing bodies. And their inability to face down those terrorists hiding amongst them.(I cannot blame them though, it is a horrid and couraguous thing to do in any circumstance.)

And let's entertain the scenario that the US would step out.... well the entire Middle East would implode or explode like a powder keg. Trade would also suffer considering the shipping routes, oil and other things. And then Iran with Russia's and/or China's blessing would then do evil things... not a very comforting thought either, especially if you give a hoot about religion.

> but if the effort is not global while the effects always are

The effect will never be global if the West doesn't start first, because the developing countries will never accept to hurt their economic development for something the rich countries isn't doing.

But if the West starts, the rest of the world will follow, because their elite want to be like us: it is a status symbol! That's why for instance the elites in Southern countries wear western clothes despite their obvious inappropriateness to the weather. That's also why many dictators out there pretend to be “elected presidents”: because being a “president” is what makes you look like you're an western ruler.

Humans are social animals, and status is probably the strongest driver for our behaviors.

The day the West is all green, you can be sure that every country leader elsewhere world is going to flex about how green their country is too. The problem right now is that the West is all about green-washing, and so are they.

That isn't how markets work, like at all. Will another buyer with money to spend help drive the price up? Maybe, Maybe not. It depends on where that buyer spends their money and whether the supply forces that buyer to compete against other buyers for the same gpu. Supply and Demand curves drive the price.

Mixing water and oil: no surfactants needed
I agree that a speed/size limit don't work, plus it will skyrocket the energy consumption of internet a lot by making some technologies infeasible or very inefficient.

Also, this is a "technological solution for a social problem", so it's infeasible to begin with.

Is anyone using Ghost and unhappy with it or moving away from it?

I recently set up a blog (a pretty private, small scale travel diary to share with close family as I don't use social media) and did some research before I chose something. With no desire for a newsletter or monetisation or SEO or any of those features I still found the experience of spinning up a Ghost containter[1] got me from 0 to a really good and featureful blog.

The composer works well out of the box on a phone, the defaults are fairly sane, and the selection of out of the box themes is pretty well thought out.

In the past I've used Hugo or other static generators for this kind of thing. That's been far more work for a less user friendly result and the mobile workflow for posting isn't very kind even on a tablet.

It's actually another hoop for users:

- Safari + Kagi: you just need a default browser and a non-default search

- Orion + Kagi: you just need a non-default browser and a default search

- Firefox + Kagi: you need a non-default browser and a non-default search

It might not look that much difference but in terms of thousands users, any reduction for users' steps to do, it is better.
The same theory goes further, arguing that whatever consequences the CEO/management would suffer, there will always be others to step up and continue doing the same. My opinion is however that at some point the bad behavior will be deterred, if these consequences are real... so let's just do it asap, at least we can get a petty revenge on those evildoers.

Noone has spoken facts on this matter. They made vague and incorrect statements, and "whattabouts". The energy price volatility is not due to green policies, or extreme parties in the EU, it's due to their reliance upon natural gas and oil from a global exporter who then decided to invade their neighbor and threaten all of Europe.

That's the fact here.

> Ghost self-hosted is an example of this

I don't know how configurable Ghost is but I suspect you will still have some problems if they introduce features that you don't like. You may be able to lag for a few versions but eventually there will be security vulnerabilities discovered, ecosystem features like plugins will grow incompatible and other general bitrot. Self-hosting will definitely give you a thick insulating layer, but upstream direction will eventually work its way through.

Not too long ago I saw an article from a Canadian source about how bad Canadian healthcare was getting, and complaining Canada had or was about to drop out of the top 10 rankings.

It had a scatter chart showing the metrics, and while Canada was shown as lower than many of the other countries, the gap between all those countries and the US was enormous.

When other countries complain about their healthcare, they're complaining about complaining about sane systems not performing to their standards, and that doesn't make the US any less of a dumpster fire.
I said "confabulate" in my original post. "Confabulation" is a neurological symptom commonly seen in dementia patients, where a person isn't telling the truth because of errors in memory formation/recall or some other non-psychological problem in the brain. In particular, people who confabulate aren't aware their words are false and therefore it doesn't make sense to say that they're "lying." Likewise it's a problem with memory, not perception, so "hallucination" doesn't work either.

"Confabulation" still isn't great because humans confabulate with non-verbal memories and then express those confabulations in words; human confabulation mostly affects biographical memory, not subject matter knowledge. But considering how weird it is to even be talking about "memory" with a being that isn't aware of the passage of time, I think "confabulate" is the best option short of inventing a brand new word.

>Substack’s main revenue source is that it keeps 10% of all revenue from paid subscriptions. That means they’re under constant pressure to increase the number of paid subscriptions, and the amount that people are paying for those subscriptions. Ghost, and most other newsletter platforms, charge volume-based usage fees. That means those platforms can let individual writers choose how and when to prompt readers to consider a paid subscription.

>It’s much easier to avoid the temptation to implement dark patterns if you have a sustainable business model in the first place.

I don't have a strong preference for Ghost vs. Substack, but I don't understand this reasoning. I'm not even sure which platform they're accusing of using dark patterns.

Both platforms are incentivized to earn revenue to fund the platform because a publishing platform can't survive if people aren't paying for it. I don't see why it's a dark pattern to make the funding a flat 10% of people who charge vs. allow platform publishers to do a freemium model.

Neither choice seems obviously more sustainable to me than the other.
They are completely separate concerns! Why would they necessarily be tightly coupled? Assuming use of an npm package registry (the default public one at npmjs.org, or a private one like jfrog artifactory), there's nothing "silly" about using a pnpm client instead of npm (or yarn).
