The right of a state to barter access to services or rights beyond the fundamental right to be LEFT ALONE is not as you say.

I agree that the state may not coerce. The right to vote, or take office, become employed as a civil role, or even receive welfare or basic income type services are all rights of the state. State has rights too. I don't think Ayn would disagree.

I have merely suggested the state could conceivably bargain for things beyond the basic human rights TO BE LEFT ALONE.

That is the basis of moral principles, by default everyone has the right not to be interfered with, everything else may be bargained for by free will (uncoherced determination of willful resolve.)

Other than a "righteous rule of law" (lawful domain) the state doesn't owe you anything.

Romans never called themselves Byzantine. What nonsense. There was the Roman Empire founded by Augustus and that entity survived continuously. The people who lived in these areas called themselves Romans for 1000+ years.

The term 'roman' was still very much in use during the Greek Revolution.

The capital had not been in Rome for a while, the capital going to Constantinople doesn't change anything. Neither does becoming Christian.
The trick is not being hateful of other people and transparently exploiting science to rationalize that hatred.
> Internally they had dissent but dismissed it and went so far as to misspell things so FOIAs would not find things.

I hadn't heard this yet. Unbelievable. And yet all of the sites I found it on from a quick search have at some point in the past been branded "fake news." In fact, one source, the New York Post, was falsely branded "Russian disinformation" on the eve of the 2020 election and suspended from Meta and Twitter, only for its story to be verified subsequently when it had minimal consequence.
Very similar tech stack here, with all the same motivations. Biggest differences are I'm using RDS for the database and have a slightly different approach for serverless compute. I started out with Lambda, but the cold start times were bugging me so I moved production hosting to App Runner, which is the next best thing (eliminates cold start without breaking the wallet). Kept staging environment on Lambda. Also using the "fat lambda" approach with ASP.NET apps, so no lock-in here. Spending about $35/mo total - RDS is the biggest contributor, then App Runner and other small things.

I also have an SSR app for the homepage which required some dynamic functionality. Basic Node app hosted in a Cloudflare worker essentially for free, hitting the App Runner hosted API for data.

Why was it 'misguided'. Saying it was 'misguided' is only evident historically. The Roman empire had fractured many times before. And has always been put together. So why would the Roman government think it couldn't be done again?

And he was also pretty successful in doing it, returning North Africa, parts of Spain and most of Italy.

Its just that further Germanic invasion came and reversed some of those gains. And the Persian were a contentious problem as well.

Utilities are incentivized to increase costs. There is a nexus of generation, transmission and distribution companies, all together in increasing costs. Just the same as healthcare (insurers, pharma and hospitals), hence, band-aids cost $500, which your friendly insurer discounts to $50, and proudly shows on the statement: $500 band-aid, insurance plan rate $50, your deductible/copay $50. We'll pay $5 for the band-aid AFTER you meet 10K deductible!

This is why Warren Buffett owns a lot of utilities. They are monopolies that extract a lot of rents, lobby against residential solar. Solar installations are 3 - 5X costlier in US compared to other countries (Ref: posts by HNs in other countries - Australia, Bangladesh, etc).

The right thing to do is to let go of this benevolent public utility sham, while monopolizing and extracting huge rents, at the same time publicly crying that your friendly utility can't help everyone, the costs are rising and they can't do maintenance or build transmission lines.

Breaking down ATT monopoly was the moment which started the tremendous growth in communications sectors. People used to pay $$/minute, now something magical happened around 2010 -- people can talk to 100 other people around the world on video chat for free! We need something similar for utility monopolies.

"More people need to realize that utilities are not at all like normal businesses, so to spell it out in more detail for those that don't know:

Normal businesses make more money when they cut costs. Utilities (typically) get to charge a fixed upsell percentage and so they make more money when they increase their costs."

obviously, that's yet another layer of misdirection. They're probably in Nebraska, laughing at all of us.
And that's the mentality part that is a wildcard. On paper we might have good solutions in Europe, but the question is if those fundamentlists in the US will tolerate our solutions if they require government regulation.

There is just no sweet way to sugar coat it for them.

As an amateur anthropologist I can't help but wonder where this hard line mentality stems from. Because you can draw parallels with Australia, being virgin land, colonized very recently, vast spaces, but when they had a massacre and decided to take everyone's guns away, they were met with very little resistance.

So clearly there seems to be some difference in the mentalities of people between Australians and Americans. US Americans are truly a unique breed.

edit: Changing the subject to insulting me is a bad way to conclude. You're creating an illusion the debate is concluded in your favor instead of responding to points. I don't think any of my points had a sound argument against them.
Initially, never. Then, when I started working on my previous project, I thought about it more and more, especially towards the end. However, the end result for me is always a maximum of two points, so when I published my last project here (just yesterday [0]), I set my expectations to zero and did it just for the sake of learning (without even thinking about HN).

The best option is probably to work on projects for yourself and then publish them here without overthinking or clinging to the outcome.

Another thing I learned while making memes during the golden era is that the Internet is a strange place. You never know what and why something goes viral, especially in the nerdy environment.

The table top tablets are convenient. They go a long way to allowing a customer to have agency in improving their experience. Back in my college days, my friends and I frequented a pub where each booth had a button that would light up an indicator above our table letting servers know we needed more beer. It was far and above our favorite place to go hang out on weekends. I'm sure it was more useful than just a beer signal LOL but for our use case it was perfect.

This 78 word Mastadon post is more an Ask HN—discuss.

Sure. Using Discord as a help community for technical issues seems like a bad idea on the surface.

But that’s not why I use Discord for technical issues.

I’m prolly a year and a half behind on what’s what (my last big project ). For me StackExchange was the place to find answers to specific questions.

Discord (and Reddit because discussion is permitted) was the place to go to find guidance when you don’t know where to start.

Sooo, Id rather say use Discord, use what works—but write and share back your knowledge to the searchable communities mentioned by the author.

The easy way to do that is write the question that you should have asked to those technical communities and answer your own question.

I don't know where you're getting processed stuff from. I make my own oat milk. It's just oats and water. You can add a sweetener like honey if you want. Unlike dairy milk I know exactly what's going in my body. I'm also a vegetarian and don't consume meat. Instead I eat a lot of legumes and dark leafy greens. I work out and this diet provides the proteins and fats I need to grow and repair. I feel the best I ever have done and I'm pretty sure that I'm fitter than most of my peer group.

The idea seems to be that I should stop doing this and replace it with a bunch of unnecessary, more expensive staples that are worse for my body. Or that if I bring it up I'm being manipulative. Maybe people need to be manipulated a little. It doesn't make environmental or economic sense to produce a bunch of useless shit and truck it halfway across the country to line the pockets of some lobbies. You want milk and flesh every day?

> However, their no-code approach generates awful code difficult to follow, making apps less reliable. Moreover, using a UI is slower than coding, especially now that AI assistants are here to help you.

I don't get this one, the sentence "their no-code approach generates awful code". If it's no-code, why do you care about code ?

Also, in what way are you relying on "coding" ? No information on this on the front page, to me it seems just like a config file only. Are you saying that the config only generates the boilerplate that the user will modify afterwards ? If that's the case, it's really not obvious.
This is an argument against centralisation of authority - which most on the libertarian left and right would agree with.

I personally think it's a thorny problem with no easy solution - which is why I'm not a libertarian.
>new fad just like keto diet

The keto diet has been around over 100 years and it was developed in a clinical setting for children with epilepsy to reproduce the benefits of fasting - which has been known for thousands of years to prevent seizures - while providing a long term solution and not deprive children of calories.

It’s not exactly a fad, it’s just that there are a lot more studies being conducted on the benefits - like fasting studies which lead the discovery of autophagy and the Nobel prize in 2016.

The idea sugar is rocket fuel for the brain, is a little misguided. Certain sugars spike insulin triggering anabolic response getting glucose to the cells quickly, but that doesn’t make glucose more efficient for the brain.

Ketones are smaller than glucose molecules and more efficient at crossing the blood brain barrier. Rocket fuel for the brain is being in a deep state of ketosis and consuming medium chain fatty acids (e.g. coconut oil) or beta hydroxybutyrate (i.e. exogenous ketones).

While startups justify it with “it’s not a priority right now”, I find that lack of security is always a lack security mindset.

> On the surface, it would be weird for ketones to improve brain activity - after all "keto flu" is a thing, and it is definitely is not a state of high performance.

Keto flu is from a low level of ketones, not a high level. Once enough ketones become available there is no more keto flu. From there most people feel at least normal, and many feel a bit better than normal because the cycles of both energy and satiety are smoothed out by the change in fuel sources.

> And if ketones were that healthy then diabetics would the the healthiest people of all.

Diabetics have health complications precisely because they cannot moderate their blood glucose, with or without ketones. Ketones do not regulate blood glucose, insulin does. Unlike glucose, excess ketones are harmlessly urinated out, they do not need insulin to process them.

Glucose in the blood is toxic [1] if it isn't metabolised because of lack of insulin, and even most diabetics consume enough carbohydrates for this to be a risk. There is a clear relationship between availability of insulin and safe levels of glucose consumption, in fact injecting insulin is usually the first intervention if blood glucose is at dangerously high levels. Search for insulin in that paper.

Ketones don't enter into this picture at all as either a toxin or the solution to toxicity. Precisely the point is that ketones can substitute for most of your glucose needs without risking toxicity like glucose does.

If all of that isn't enough, diabetics often do better following a ketogenic diet [2], not worse. When you can't naturally produce enough insulin to process the glucose you consume for daily energy, producing ketones instead is a safe workaround which your body performs naturally. What part of that is evidence for ketones themselves being the problem?

I think everything is, at least conceptually, quantum. Only that our perception range “matches” our macro world so that things look mostly like solid objects, but they are all actually superpositions that I’m “sampling” through my perception

> because it's all infinities anyway: an exact version of your atoms re-existing at multiple distantly separated points in time would be a multi-verse of sorts

This is truly fascinating, I hadn’t heard of this. I interpret it as “aliasing”. So even though aliasing is usually defined in terms of the limit of the resolution of a signal processing system. You could say it also applies to our perception of the universe. At some point we hit our sampling rate limit and so anything we perceive could also be the alias of something at a different frequency that we can’t perceive

Kind of how we do with ultraviolet light. We can’t directly see it, so then we add an additional color. Or how we alias infrared or x-ray for astrophotography

And this is also how neural networks work: they convert everything to embedding vectors of a certain (finite) size, so then all information is essentially being mapped to a limited number of meanings, whose combinations (superposition?) determine the overall meaning of something
