This pitch worked much better in the 80s and 90s when

A) most investors had a broker not just for advice, but because there was no easy way to trade individually or get live stock quotes until the internet was widespread and matured

B) telephone sales in general were more common then and less likely to be a scam (Stratton Oakmont and other boiler rooms played a large role in shifting public opinion on this)

C) The most desirable prospects (High Net Worth Individuals) were accustomed to dealing with legitimate brokers over the phone and being solicited by brokers from other legitimate firms in such a way

D) The markets were raging in such a way that everyone had FOMO and was dying to hear of a hot new tip

Almost nobody legitimate in the financial advising world acquires customers via cold call pitching anymore. Cold calling is still part of the toolkit for other sales niches (eg, tech sales) but it's a tough road with a low success rate.
This is great! I was once the proud owner of an HTC Evo 3D, a smartphone that took 3D photos and displayed them natively with a lenticular display. It also ran hot as hell and was pretty much unusable until I added after-market swipe-spelling and an alternative app browser. It also took MPO format pictures.

As near as I could tell at the time, the MPO format is literally just two JPEGs directly appended in one file.
It sounds like you mostly didn’t have the problems they were pitching for. Imagine you urgently needed a pesticide guy! Maybe you’d too annoyed to buy but someone else might not. That’s my head canon on why google makes so much from search ads, they’re advertising to people who are trying to solve that specific problem right now.

Musk took a bunch of outside money during the buyout so they're still reporting results to e.g. Fidelity and other debtholders. Hence why we broadly know that investors have lost >70% of their money: https://x.com/danprimack/status/1774456271871033823
In traditional finance, the brokerage you are working with may notify you and ask for more leverage. Or to warn you if the risk calculation is about to change. It's pretty flexible.

This is specifically a crypto problem where everything is automatic and decentralized.

> back when we did sf had a pretty aggressive additional payroll tax and gross receipts taxes

I always wonder what SF has done to deserve the added taxes? Did they keep the crime rate low? Did they keep improving the city's infra? Did they create a culture that people tolerate each other? Did they improve the quality of education? Did they improve the situation of the homeless community? Did they resolve the housing crisis?

Our forefathers fought for no representation no taxes. I don't know what representation I got in the city.
BitClout Wasn't So Decentralized
No, my point was that you would also want to factor in injury rates from commuting, which tend to dwarf crime rates.
No actual plans/proposals to remodel the web detected, just a lot of gushing over the possibility of 'breaking up Google', as if that would magically change how click tracking works. It would not, nor would it suddenly 'clear a path' or cause the invention of some other competing/equivalent technology.

Also note: the referenced anti-trust decision is pending appeal, and on the surface seems ridiculous. "Default" search engine is not the same thing as "only" search engine, paying for exposure with cash and a revenue split is a normal business practice, and no one has built a better search engine because the technical challenges are enormous - not because they can't be the default search engine on Safari.
Not to get too political, but it is nice to see people who have interests/expertise in topics other than law and business.

I'd say the saying is common in a lot of Eastern European languages, not only Russian :)
I can't say for OpenAI, but in general I have seen and used this design pattern to keep consistency of root object output and remove a lot of unnecessary validations and branching flows

Otherwise you will to handle the scenarios in code everywhere if you don't know if the root is object or array. If the root has a key that confirms to a known schema then validation becomes easier to write for that scenario,

Similar reasons to why so many APIs wrap with a key like 'data', 'value' or 'error' all responses or in RESTful HTTP endpoints collection say GET /v1/my-object endpoints do no mix with resource URIs GET /v1/my-object/1 the former is always an array the latter is always an object.
It's still in draft (but seemingly has stabilized a lot in the past 2 years). And there's such a a chicken & egg between software & devices neither supporting OpenScreenProtocol. I get your skepticism but what do you want? The same could be said about any other option than Chromecast: it doesn't exist on devices or software.

The really good news is that At least for many many apps, the effort to port to OpenScreemCast should be reasonably minimal. Chromecast for much of it's life has - under the covers - been web o ly, and rejiggering for the mild differences between Cast and OSP shouldn't be that wild.

Where-as Matter Cast requires native apps on the target device, and the app has to be pre installed to work.
I'm mostly reading political tweets, and for the last year or so I have never noticed that - the comments can be of very varying quality, as always on an unmoderated forum, but I don't remember too much offtopic. Maybe it depends on who do you follow and who the bots are targeting - except Musk, my follows are usually not celebrities, so maybe bots don't bother targeting them.
* No ability to browse the site without logging in

* Hundreds of spam account followers

* Sponsored content inserted in replies masquerading as real content

* Random bugs with video content constantly

* Twitter blue boosting replies to the top, making conversations effectively pay to win.

* Bot account spam comprising ~50% of the replies to any popular tweet

Despite the above, Twitter is still the best place on the internet to get the latest news and a feel for the zeitgeist. This to me is a testament of the incredible product created by Jack.
Even Musk has recommended doing this.
You're right of course, but it's sort of meaningless. I live in Germany where there isn't nearly as much gun crime, but Musk isn't about to move Twitter to Germany.
A) cool app, well executed!

B) this has further radicalized me into pure web development. What native features does this take advantage of that couldn’t be accomplished just as easily in typescript? I don’t have an android :(
Like other commentators have already mentioned but the openssl suite already solves these problems and even more complex ones

For example:

Specifying different keys different servers

Host github.com

User git

IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github

Host myserver

User username

IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_myserver

Reuse SSH connections for multiple sessions

https://blog.scottlowe.org/2015/12/11/using-ssh-multiplexing...

https://blog.poespas.me/posts/2024/04/27-optimizing-ssh-conn...

Host *

ControlMaster auto

ControlPath ~/.ssh/sockets/%r@%h-%p

ControlPersist 600

Other than that, you can also do ssh agent forwarding, port forwarding etc. These are all crucial functions that user like me need when we access remote machines.

I hope you take this as constructive criticism and not a knockdown on your work. You've created and released something that's great but this site usually brings more advanced users.
Sounds more like a off by 1 bug that was hidden by regexs if I'm reading correctly
It doesn't take much to send your service provider a DMCA counter notice [1].

> (3) Contents of counter notification.—To be effective under this subsection, a counter notification must be a written communication provided to the service provider’s designated agent that includes substantially the following:

> (A) A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber.

> (B) Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.

> (C) A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.

> (D) The subscriber’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.

However, if your service provider wants to be under the DMCA safe harbor, they must keep your content down for at least 10 days and no more than 14 days after they receive the counter notice (unless they receive a further notice from the originator of the DMCA that they have filed a case regarding the alleged infringement --- in that case the content will remain down until the case is resolved).

In a lot of cases, having the content down for 10-14 days is kind of too long. Also, you may not want to provide your identity information to the originator of the complaint or your provider. You may also not be willing to state your good faith belief under penalty of perjury.

If the originator is willing to take their complaint to court, that's going to be an adventure --- but if they just send out mass DMCA complaints and don't follow up, you might be fine. If you actually want to take them to court over their complaints, even though they don't want to, that's an adventure too.

You may also try to convince your provider that the originators complaints aren't structurally valid DMCA complaints if they aren't, although that requires a sympathetic provider. I've only read summaries, but this case is a potential example of an invalid complaint, as the summary says it's a DMCA complaint about trademark infringement; the DMCA doesn't cover trademark, so the complaint is not structurally valid --- the provider has no duty to process it, and receives no safe harbor from doing so. They may or may not have a duty to take action on trademark complaints, but it doesn't arise from the DMCA.

I am currently trying to do this for poker in open source. https://github.com/elliottneilclark/rs-poker/pull/92

Find the Nash equilibrium for poker with an exact set of cards and a deck. There's a fun arena-based tree structure that should allow finding the optimal strategy for different bet sizes, etc. One of the most challenging parts of finding the equilibrium is ensuring the simulation has no edge cases where value is lost.

There's a bug somewhere, and the game state isn't matching the second time through a tree node. (I'd pay a bounty to whoever can get it finished)
> but the way it works now has led to a significant decline in revenue and active users

Your comment makes me want to re-read the hitchhiker's guide.
If you want a feeling of fullness once in a while to take the edge off your hunger, try foods that have less than 1kcal per gram. For example, sauerkraut, pickles, and any raw veggie sans any kind of dressing or oil.
It would be hard to do end-to-end TLS (where the server proxies the raw connection) because

(a) you can't share one TLS connection to the host between multiple clients; if you wanted multi-client support while preserving end-to-end TLS, the host would need to maintain a TLS connection with each client and waste bandwidth re-uploading the same image

(b) there is no client software requirement, so you would have to do the TLS decryption clientside in the browser (maybe via WASM) unless you're OK with having viewers download software
You just violated your first statement.
Funny how companies (not only Cloudflare) are super-responsive when it comes to forwarding takedown notifications from other companies, but drag their feet and "forget" when it comes to doing the same for counter notifications, even though both are required by the DMCA. Also, funny how (to my knowledge) no company has been criminally prosecuted for filing a false DMCA takedown notice. Likely because you have to prove intent. The law is comically stacked against the little guy.
What did you mean by "move to south bay for good for worse"? I just couldn't parse your meaning.

I mean, it does matter, and also HackerNews is the only bubble I interact with regularly that still holds on to the Twitter name like gollum and the one ring.

My understanding is that HN has rules against editorialization of headlines. This absolutely qualifies. The company is called X, the article calls it X. You don't have to like it, you don't have to use that name when you speak about the company, but editorializing the headline to name the company whatever the submitter wants is inappropriate.

Ask HN: How to protect/prevent being the target of cybermobbing
I just read an eye opening, awful article about organized cybermobbing. About groups that target people for years, send police to their homer, drug addicts and so on.

My question: How to protect against these kind of attacks?

Context: As a person who needs to be somewhat public for their job. Because, sure the easy answer would be: Everything pseudonym on the internet, but sadly that is not possible for my job.
haha. I wish. I play 4s with my little bro and a couple of my friends and my little bro thought it would be funny to hot mic a hitler speech. We all got banned. lol
> That’s your own choice. No one has a duty to adapt the work environment to suit it.

Nope, wrong. It's not my own choice only. It's the choice of many many people, increasingly more, enough that employers have to reckon with us. Hopefully you don't feel threatened or upset about it, cause it's happening, it's gonna happen more, and no amount of corporate shoe-licking can stop it.

There are plenty of people who are okay to be stuck 3 hours in traffic, or pay an exorbitant rent just for the privilege to be working in a cubicle. Increasingly so, however, many are rethinking this arrangement and refusing to work in an environment that doesn't suit them.

So, I don't know about duty, but employers can go f*ck themselves if they can't provide what I am looking for, and I won't settle for less, both in terms of flexibility, remote options, and salary. And since there's many of us starting to think like that, some employers will start seeing reason, and provide an accommodating work environment. To stay competitive, others will have to follow or settle for sub-par workers and potentially (hopefully soon) go into oblivion.

Employers who can't or won't adapt the work environment to the demands of the workers, will perish, and those who can, will flourish. It's as simple as that.

Doomscrolling, existential anxiety and pessimism about human nature
Why are pharmacies closing?

Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), which reimburse their own pharmacies at a higher payout rate than independent pharmacies, are causing smaller ones to go out of business:

https://www.medpagetoday.com/pharmacy/pharmacy/111338

Those obvious antitrust violations exacerbate the record prescription drug shortages we're experiencing, as customers hop between pharmacies trying to get drug refills:

https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/12/health/drug-shortage-record-h...

Which are caused by artificial limits on the quantity of drugs manufactured, specifically ones popular on the black market like Adderall, which are stopped by an out of control War on Drugs:

https://www.additudemag.com/adderall-shortage-dea-stimulants...

Leaving smaller pharmacy owners forced to sell many drugs at or even below cost, which they can't get anyway, so their customers leave for bigger chains and online sellers at Amazon etc.

Driving prescription drug hoarding behavior when patients can't get the medication they need and skip days in order to save up for eventual shortages. Is it ironic that the DEA doesn't seem to mind creating addiction this way? I don't know, I'm not surprised by anything anymore.

So the wealthy and powerful people driving this catastrophe outside of law enforcement because they lobbied through regulatory capture to legally have this monopoly are making bank while the rest of us suffer.

Which is just exactly the situation I find myself in as I scramble to find treatment for my ADHD symptoms. I can't believe it's come to this in the good old US of A, but here we are.

Edit: I meant to add that if you're in a similar situation, it's worth seeing if raising your dopamine level helps, and not just medicating a hormone receptor issue. You can boost your levels by eating L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine, which the body uses to make dopamine (every hormone comes from a specific protein, which you can find by asking an LLM like https://iask.ai). I have had success with eating a 2-4 egg and bacon breakfast every day, taking L-theanine, and supplementing with maca root and hormone balancers like RESTOR from Nutrishop (no affiliation). It also helped a great deal to reduce inflammation by addressing low thyroid, adrenal fatigue and high cortisol levels by taking supplements for those (you might need to see a nurse or doctor) and turmeric powder. My symptoms feel like having depression and anxiety simultaneously, and I've found that they've worsened with age as testosterone levels naturally decline, which is often caused by having too much belly fat, which contains aromataze which converts it to estrogen. So weight training is extremely beneficial, along with reducing stress through meditation. Healing the gut with a giant looseleaf lettuce salad and a cup of kefir every day also helps raise serotonin levels for better mental health. Just give yourself 2-6 weeks to feel improvement, and keep a journal. Hope this helps someone.
How is this different from function calling?
My bad. I meant "for good or for worse". That is, I was trying to be neutral to the merit of moving from SF to the south.

The biggest door to door I get is from roofing/window where they canvas the neighborhood when doing a neighbor's house. I don't see the types of door to door where a car would drop off a couple of people to cover an area any more though. The No Soliciting is just not even a concern for them. It's not like it is enforceable in any way than a possibly rude door slamming in their face, and who cares about that?

i concur. I think a lot of this is just sound business acumen.

Twit-er...X, isnt raking in cash like it used to. Musks changes like reinstating hate speech accounts and the blue check fiasco had a direct negative effect on advertising revenue and accelerated already downward subscriber trends.

San Francisco has seen a talent exodus after the global pandemic. no senior SRE with 20 years of experience --whos also made to show up to the office five days a week-- is going to entertain San Francisco's traffic, crime, homelessness, or general congestion for even a minute.

I may not be fully understanding the question, but I think you may be referring to DNS-based resources? Those will allow you to manage access to an app or service by its DNS name (wildcards supported). You can also use IP or CIDR resources as well of course.

In terms of scalability, are you referring to throughput or simply the complexity of policy management as the number of resources grows?
Well, this wouldn’t be a very satisfying explanation, but these JSON objects are often represented as Python dictionaries and those can’t have top level arrays.
Anecdotally, I've generally heard this phrased as "for better or for worse" :)
The Ukrainians will decide for themselves if and when to negotiate, and on what terms.

They will also decide -- for themselves -- whether the losses they are taking are sustainable, or "worth" the just end to this war that they seek.

Your idea of what they "need", what is worth dying for or otherwise valuable to them, or your general view of their government -- just doesn't factor into it.
