The thing that’s allowed the Iranian government to keep going, at least in my opinion, has been economic destitution of the people of Iran. Largely caused by the sanctions, and primarily the secondary sanctions set by the US.

Right wing governments love economic hardship because it allows for them to unify a portion of the people under that messaging.

There’s even evidence that with apartheid South Africa, sanctions were actually solidifying their hold on the country there. The fall of that government isn’t really attributed to sanctions.
How many times did the author apply and get rejected from YC?

I have heard this sentiment before, from a less successful VC. After comparing them based on track record, it was clear YC is in a league of its own. I want to get advice from people who have built startups before. Looks at YC advisors on YouTube and you'll find they're all very successful.

Look at the partners and advisors at most VCs or accelerator programs, and you won't find that level of experience. You'll get mismanaged and start thinking like an investor instead.
I don't know what YC thinks, but the mission is not about prestige, but to help startups succeed, so these startups can make something people want.

Also, YC is mostly back in person and so pretty hard to scale (also batch sizes have gone down in the last couple of years).
You can't just keep claiming there's a field of use restriction when there isn't. It merely conveys a requirement for open sourcing dependencies required for operating services, an entirely noble copyleft behavior.

Any business which isn't exploiting open source in order to benefit proprietary source won't even be phased by this. It's simply a requirement to open source your stuff, which the OSI would support if supporting open source was actually their mission.
Old webpack and vuejs yes, because it's the UI which does get quickly old, but APIs or also things you would do with Go don't really have to change much as time goes on. A simple Express server and that's it.

But then that means the version you use to develop is not necessarily the version you end up in production. Or that the version one developer uses is not the same version another developer on the same team uses.

I'm debating adding 3 things next: arrival/departures, general airport delays and ground stops, and yes airports outside the US. Less clean TSA like information from those sadly.

Some phone plans like Google Fi will give you a data only sim card for free. It ends up being totally free as long as you have unlimited data plans. I use my old phone and a data only sim card for random projects.
Baking them into future decisions will not be enough. Sorry, if people made bad investments it will teach them to be smarter. Accomodations can only go so far to be effective.
Perhaps. In my case bookmarks tend to be append-only because going through and reviewing them for relevance, link rot, etc is tedious, which then makes finding bookmarks later more difficult, particularly when it’s been long enough to not remember the title/address of the bookmark. Tags can help but like folders lose effectiveness with number of bookmarks.

That depends greatly on your tooling, your company, as well as the skills and ethics of your Enterprise IT team.

Generally speaking, it’s in ours’ and the company’s best interests to keep as little data as possible for two big reasons: legal discovery and cost. Unless we’re explicitly required to retain historical records, it’s a legal and fiscal risk to keep excess data around.

That said, there are situations where your input is captured and stored regardless of whether it’s sent. As you said, whether it does or not is often a simple search away.

I lean hawkish on China (as several on HN know), but Ukraine is a bad litmus test for validating nation's sentiments about China.

The brutal honest truth is Ukraine has fought well, but they need to negotiate on terms that the international community provides, because everyone has a higher priority great power struggle to deal with. For most of the world, Ukraine is not their problem.

Even Ukrainian leadership recognizes this and are leveraging China and India (companies owned by conglomerates from both countries are the largest employers in Ukraine) to try and find a middle ground with Russia [1]

Countries line Brazil are regional powers, and they are negotiating on their terms - not in favor of one nation or the other.

I got sucked into Japanese animation because it seemed to be culturally richer, in shows like Urusei Yatsura and Nadia: Secret of Blue Water I found a mash-up of western culture (UY has the same epistemology as Marvel comics) as well as traditional Japanese, Chinese and Indian cultures.

Later I came to understanding Nadia's trick of continuous expansion was itself a trick similar to the Shepard Tone. And now I see every anime as being made by shredding up previous anime into parts and reassembling them. In The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya there is the term 閉鎖空間 which is translated as "Closed space" and if I was going to write a blog about anime now I would use that as the title because that is exactly what anime is. Haruhi is bored of the real world in all its richness so she makes up a dreary place which actually a lot smaller.

In anime and Japanese video games I see a number of different registers of morality. In games like Tales of Symphonia and Hyperdimension Neptunia it is common for principal adversaries to become members of the party and in mahou shojou anime like Sailor Moon and Precure it's not an unusual subplot for enemies to attempt infiltrating the social group of the heroines and wind up being domesticated by the little rituals of Japanese life. In the 2010s most Issekai have a swordsman who, when asked why he fights, says something about the need for the strong to fight to protect the weak while some bad guy says that the strong have the moral imperative to crush the weak. Nietzsche would call the first "slave morality" and the latter "master morality" -- it's not plausible that Castenada's Don Juan would have been as steeped in continental philosophy as he was because contemporary Asians sure are exposed to the ideas of the west.

>the OSI has made it increasingly clear it doesn't want it to even be possible to make a business model on top of open source

The OSI's definition of open source was worked out in the 1990s and has changed almost not at all. That stability in the meaning of "open source" (or "OSI-approved", if you want to be precise) is a good thing. If you want to experiment with software licenses that (like open source) don't lock the user in or that (like open source) allow forking, but that are better than open source at allowing the maintainer to earn money, then please do -- just don't call your experiment open source. Coin another term.

It is not some awful tragedy that those who want to experiment with software licenses cannot use the reputation of the "open source" label to market their offerings.

Parenthetically, "nice volunteer thing" is not an accurate description of AOSP, Chromium, Firefox and most Linux desktop software.

I feel like this is also exposing the same fundamental flaw with human created content of a similar nature.

Two attractive human "journalists" with nice speaking voices and fake rapport reading a script that was written for them is not really far off this.

Re. infrastructure integration: it's always a cost-benefit analysis. I've worked at a robotics company where we integrated with doors and elevators. Doors was really easy, cost almost nothing, and didn't come with any regulations. Elevators, on the other hand, was a length process, required certified elevator technicians, and cost a lot of money. On the other hand, adding a manipulator to open manual doors is very difficult and costly (per robot), but adding a button-pusher for elevator buttons is not.

> school teaches you how to be less human and more robotic

That's a very cynical take, and in my opinion, false too.

You can find examples of bad anything everywhere, including teaching. What you describe hasn't been my own experience as a child, nor my silblings', nor my own children.

> You learn [to be human] before you enter school

Hard disagree. You never stop learning how to be human till the day you die, but your most important formative years in this sense occur during childhood and early adulthood.
My read on the one reference to homelessness in the article was that a life-changing medication that can help with a disease like schizophrenia can prevent homelessness in the first place.

I have a close family member that had a psychotic episode during the pandemic. They were hospitalized but were eventually able to get effective treatment and medication and now live a mostly normal life.

Had they not had the support to get proper medication, I have a hard time seeing how they wouldn’t end up homeless.
I don't get the objection here.

Forking is part of how open source is supposed to work.
Hi HN,

I built Screen Recorded as a simple, browser-based screen recorder that doesn’t require any installation or sign-up. I plan to use it for quick screen captures, like product demos/tutorials, but I think it might be useful for all kinds of things.

Features:

1. Browser-based

2. No sign-up needed

3. Can add your webcam or microphone to recordings

4. Recordings are processed entirely in your browser

Would love to get your feedback on the product, suggestions for improvements, or hear about any issues you encounter.
Show HN: The simply delightful and affordable ATS specifically made for startups
howdy y'all,

it's delightfully simple and cheap ($10 / mo) with all the bells and whistles yall need to effectively hire talent, without letting any slip through the cracks (by making them email you / DM you for example).

you also get 1 month for free, and you can cancel anytime.

here's a quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZZeA0qwdjg

i got the idea for a simple and cheap ats when i worked at a YC backed startup and hiring was something that was very inefficient for us. we wanted to use ashby but couldn't justify the costs. additionally it was wayy to feature packed for our use case, we needed something light, efficient, and easy to use.

i hope startblock fills that hole and wold love to hear what y'all think.

lemme know,

It will be good to see if it can run continuously with only solar power to replenish the battery.

This is a pretty good idea but I feel like it exposes some of the shortcomings in our modern UI stack and file browsers. Users using the tools the OS provides to solve problems like this should be encouraged, however the separation between the file browser UI and the web browser UI feels like it creates a certain amount of inertia to using such a solution. If my UI had enough customizability that I could easily do something like attach a slide out drawer of a file browser view to my web browser windows, I feel like I'd be much more free to experiment with mixing and matching the various tools at my disposal and using my own solutions to problems like this.

I've been using Trello for a while to organise bookmarks and other snippets, but with the recent force-in to rich text instead of markdown and links displaying as "preview" by default the UX has got a lot worse. Yes, there are extensions that make it almost as good as before, and I'm using one, but still.

From the article, I gather that it turns out that filesystems are a good way to organise vaguely hierarchical information. SQLite isn't terrible though either, people should be able to write third-party tools to help manage that.

Honestly, I doubt that a Strength 20 D&D barbarian cares about the wrong weight of his Greataxe, given that they can probably deadlift a horse. Their player probably does care that the chosen implement of murderous doom looks cooler than a plain Daneaxe…

One problem that D&D and videogames have, is that weight in lbs is a pretty poor simulation of the burden involved. The sheer bulk or lack of proper carrying opportunities seems factored in a bit into several RPGs, even those where you can carry 111 spears in your backpack.

The (vastly underrated) tabletop RPG RuneQuest once ditched "lbs" and went with a more abstracted "encumbrance" (ENC) statistic. And of course lots of videogames plus several tabletop games go with a slot- or grid-based inventory as a main or secondary source of being overburdened.

Weapon weights and similar issues (too short rapiers, non-existant back scabbards) seem to be the "not every weapon is a AR-15/mind your trigger discipline" of the HEMA crowd.
I don't track these things, but as far back as I can remember, the appeal of YC was the tutelage of experienced founders, availability of office hours, and the atmosphere of being surrounded by like-minded, ambitious people.

For me, it works well for temporary bookmarks. For ones I want to keep long-term, though, the bookmarking systems provided in the browsers is not adequate. It's too difficult to use bookmarks from other places and browsers, and I find the support for organization to be lacking.

So I run a standalone bookmark server instead.

Its hard for me to see how you could think it is “just” taking notes.

Objectively the notes are being constructed and filtered by an external 3rd party (even if it is run on device locally, someone external is still training and choosing the agent).

It is the homogenization of thought and note taking of everyone using AI to record their lives that is the potential problem.

>I would bet money/Manifoldbux that if he thought powerful AGI/ASI were anywhere near, he'd hit the brakes and initiate a massive safety overhaul.

Not sure how you can believe this given all of his recent actions and the ever growing list of whistleblowers dropping out of OpenAI explicitly saying Safety is not taken seriously.

I mean just generally the ability to actually stop and reorient around working on safety seems incredibly non trivial. To say nothing of the race dynamic he has perpetuated, the other frontier companies are unlikely to do the same.
