Hmm. I recognise the similarities ("pay me") but I also see differences ("pay me for work done", as in the video vs "pay me for replicating my work", as in IP laws).

Free culture isn't against the former (therefore this video doesn't actually address the point), but is against the latter, as being restricted from replicating work harms culture and innovation as a whole (e.g. memes and fan art being technically illegal), and imposes a large cost on the public.

That said, I'm not fully against IP laws, just that it should be limited to 14 years and only in situations where it is necessary for the production of it in the first place (e.g. articles behind paywalls). I believe I have a right to an opinion on this as a member of the public, as IP laws are a compromise between the public and the creators. It's not some natural human right.

In this moral view, if AI trains on my HN comment for example, copyright shouldn't come into play because I didn't require it to produce this comment. I had other incentives to write this comment.

As a counter-example, no one cares about statistical analysis (what AI is) when it's just building a corpus, doing classification, or even generating GPT-2 level text etc. It's only when it becomes a threat to jobs when people panic. This reveals the real problem: it is about jobs, not data. And so the solution: financial support, equal education and job retraining. Not expanding copyright laws to cover analysis as well.

Ask HN: Anyone running online business without payment cards?
I wonder if there are any successful online B2C businesses that work with with basic bank transfers and do not accept online payments through payment cards?

The fast/instant bank transfers are on the rise in Europe and so I am thinking how much it will change the landscape of e-commerce.

I guess it will vary by area/continent and it will be different for north america, europe, asia.. I'm still curious though.

Your data shows one of two things:

1. IQ scores differ between race because of inherent differences in intelligence.

2. IQ scores differ due to outside factors such as racism and socio-economic factors.

Point 1 is racist, you provide no proof for it, and all studies I can find indicate that this is not the case.

So that leaves us with point 2, which is precisely the point the article is making.

P.S: Literally the first result when searching for "socio economic factors iq": https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4641149/ It probably does not explain the full difference because there are more disadvantages such as racism, cultural factors.
DLink were for me one of the least reliable small unmanaged switches I tried over the years. Out of those I have had (I have about 7 in the house, they get replaced when one dies), there was DLink, Linksys, HP, Netgear and TP-Link, the TP-Links are by far the most reliable in so much as I have never had one die, and now all my switches are TP-Link as all of the others gave up the gost.
It would be abominable if employers can own their employees. It seems the better approach would be to strengthen the protection of whistle blowers so that if someone is pressured to reveal trade secrets from their previous jobs or do something else illegal they will be incentivized and empowered to not cooperate.
It was more complicated than that, and people lived off the difference.
The "king" cared about 'the big stuff', and cared little about low-value land that wouldn't produce reliable taxable yields.
In particular, villages often had a commons area of land ill-suited for farming, which was used for grazing/as pasture, and the village council would allow the village people to let some of their animals graze there.
During the industrial revolution in britain (or, leading up to it), these common areas were suddenly Elon Musked into private ownership and blocked off (enclosures), barring the poorer people from using them as earlier, to benefit some wealthy few.
Variations of this happened across europe.
I believe America also saw some conflicts between people wanting to use land area for cattle ('cowboys', or rather, the people above cowboys), and farmers, who did not want roaming cattle near their fields.

> Developers want to use PaaS and also AWS or Azure so they can put it on their resume for the future.

I think this is a little disingenuous. Developers want to use them because they already know them. The services composing them are also often well documented by the provider.

I say all of that as someone trying to move a company away from aws, and over to our own hardware.
JS culture is to pull a dependency for anything, in Zig land I assume it is more conservative like C or C++: pull one or two for your specific bigger picture or often enough none at all, because people pride themselves with projects having the minimal amount of dependencies. Otherwise there is truth to what you are saying.

The thing about the tooling is often that most users do not have the ability to contribute even if it is in a language they are proficient in.

Oh and until there is a good enough AOT compiler for JS there will always be a lot of tooling that is not in JS.
It doesn't take any more competent people to self-host a modern stack, than it does to babysit how a company uses something like Azure.

The original value proposition is false, and more and more are realising this.

This may actually eventually sway me into apple camp. This and what seems like much better theft discouragement.
I was regularly eating around 8 to 10 thick slices per day of bread at one point

We ran only two (very small) clusters for some time in the past and even then it introduced some unnecessary overhead on the ops side and some headaches on the dev side. Maybe they were just growing pains, but if I have to run Kubernetes again I will definitely opt for a single large cluster.

After all Kubernetes provides all the primitives you need to enforce separation. You wouldn't create separate VMWare production and test clusters either unless you have a good reason.
>There are many use cases for which a decade-old computer is still perfectly serviceable and even where they aren't, those computers can be repurposed for the ones that are.

It depends. Older computers usually guzzle power, especially if you look at the absolutely awful Pentium4 systems. You're probably better off getting a RasPi or something, depending on what exactly you're trying to do. Newer systems have gotten much better with energy efficiency, so they'll pay for themselves quickly through lower electricity bills.

>TVs with higher resolutions might come out, but lower resolution ones continue to be sold new (implying demand exists at some price)

We're already seeing a limit here. 8k TVs are here now, but not very popular. There's almost no media in that resolution, and people can't tell the difference from 4k.

For a while, this wasn't the case: people were upgrading from 480 to 720 to 1080 and now to 4k.

>and then why should anybody want to replace a functioning old TV with a newer one of the same resolution?

They probably don't; if they're upgrading, they're getting a higher resolution (lots of 1080 screens still out there), or they're getting a bigger screen. It's possible they might want newer smart TV features too: older sets probably have support dropped and don't support the latest streaming services, though usually you can just get an add-on device that plugs into the HDMI port so this is probably less of a factor.

> Which people? The Europeans were occupied or liberated under effectively caretaker governments.

They were occupied but they weren't entirely busy: while "low" people were happy to kill ex-Nazi collaborators themselves, it's the post-war governments (all of them, USA's included) who needed, with those trials, to manifest a re-establishment of the rule of law once again. 80 years later we can see it's been a hypocrite farce in every part of it, but it saved lives, those that were worth of living, although spared Nazis, fascists and sometimes communists too.
I want to answer this point separately.

My standard of living ten years ago was so high it was honestly gross, I imagine it was easily in the ballpark of a BlackRock quant. The year I quit was my second highest earning year in which I made an amount that is shameful given that my job was to sell digital fentanyl.

I will sacrifice my standard of living up to and including not living because I feel a deep identification with the abstraction I call “my fellow person”.

A lot of people will sacrifice their principles to preserve their standard of living. In what is looking to be a rough decade or two those people are a liability to that same abstraction.

Failing to detect a result as error-value is a good failure case to be aware of. But I think if you throw an error it is also possible for a client to fail to handle it properly. No Silver Bullet.

Specifically, there are two loops, one nested inside the other, and the total number of iterations is 1 billion.

I was hoping this would test how long it takes to compile 1 billion nested loops. As in, a 2-billion-line source file where the first billion lines each open a loop and the next billion lines close them all. That would be… interesting. Pointless, but interesting.
This is cool, I have two observations:

> Hydroponics already works.

I read something on wired last year on why urban vertical farming never really took off, and one of the reasons was, if I remember, that these kind of environments increase the likelihood of plant disease and the density makes it difficult to arrest any spread.

So, I'm not too sure that hydroponics at scale is completely solved.

Yeah it is the same with terraform modules, I was trying to argument at a previous job that we should stick to a single module (the cloud provider module) but people just love adding crap if it saves them 5 lines of configuration. Said crap of course adding tons of unnecessary resources in your cloud that no one understands.

>Everyone's being pointedly vague and I guess that's necessary to an extent to preserve internet anonymity (or maintain a reputation, if your professional work is tied to your HN account) but it is frustrating as someone trying to figure out how to "read the room."

Allpw me to possibly explain a bit about why there is a degree of cagey-ness/intentional vagueness. A lot of the startup world focuses around exploiting opportunities where there are profits to be realized in areas of mercantile endeavor that can ne in a bit of a grey zone, as it were. Areas the big boys won't touch because it's too risky, but that can have a large payoff with just a relatively small infusion of capital. So when you're talking a lot of these places, there is certainly room for a bait-n-switch to occur. Circumstances may be wildly different from instance to instance; but in general the same threads and warning signs are there. Going into specific details, as you point out, is a great way to out yourself. Sometimes it's just enough to tell someone to look hard, and generally with the prompting they'll figure it out.

Now as far as reading the room goes... The sapd truth is this. If you didn't fund raise, you ultimately don't get to call the shots. Just how it works. Now it's best to listen to the folks you hire; don't get me wrong, but in most cases, an org does everything it can to make sure it is only steered from the top down by edict. It's not perfectly so, and there are ways to manage up (techniques no one who knows em is going to discuss in public), but at the end of the day, with power concentrated in the guy at the top, it comes down to how much trust you confer unto that person as a human being. If you're bringing up an ethics concern, and you're pretty sure it's not going to be taken well, or you've seen it ignored... Well... Adjust your trust levels accordingly.
Remarkable 2. For me, it's worse than pen and notebook, since I can search effectively in neither and the writing experience in the latter is much better. Tags aren't a replacement for search in notes, the screen is quite imprecise at times, the cloud sync is paid, and a lot of the features that would make it more than a paper notebook are missing imo (better overview over my notes and annotations, lack of infinite canvas for PDF annotation means I have less space in the PDF than with a printed one, etc.).

By the time China entered the war, the invasion was already over. China entered the war for two reasons: 1) to make sure China was not invaded as MacArthur intended 2) to keep North Korea alive as a buffer, not to help invade South Korea. There was nothing to gain for China if the North unified Korea. Their relationship wasn't that good in the first place.

Python dependency management is a dumpster fire
> yet another Python thing I'd have to try to keep in my mind despite it being months since I used them last.

Typing hints are also a moving target: they have changed, sometimes significantly, on every minor Python release since they came to be.

The `Optional` type came and went (being replaced by the new Union syntax.) Type classes are usually born in the `typing` module, then some of them get moved to `collections`, `abc`, or `collections.abc`. Some types have even been moved several times. `TypeAlias` came and went (replaced by `type`). `List` became `list`. `Tuple` became `tuple`. Forward declarations require a workaround by using string literals. But in Python 3.14, they no longer do, and the workaround will become deprecated.

I'm an evangelist for static type checking, and I never write a Python function signature without complete typing annotations. I also think that typing annotations in Python are evolving in a good way. However, for long-lived Python scripts, I highly recommend that developers are aware of, and factor in, the effort necessary to keep up with the evolution of static typing across Python versions. That effort spent on migrating is going to come on top of the mental load that typing hints already add to your plate.
I luv dong bueinss!
That's why they are not unspecified to be optional.
> stuff like "unused import is a compiler error"

For things like this I’d much rather spend the time to improve “quick fix” suggestions in my development environments. The computer can fix the problem much more easily than I can learn a new keyboard layout.

I read yesterday the article "The First ISP" by Spike Ilacqua, in the February 1999 number of the "Usenix ;login:" magazine linked in Barry Shein's home page.

There Spike says that at the beginning they only had a UUCP server and they called servers to exchange files during the day (like a FIDONET node), and they got their real "Internet" ISP license in 1992, just two days before Sprint got theirs.
Thinking that recycling would address the problem of plastic pollution is wishful thinking. Plastic recycles very poorly.

Companies like plastic because it means thicker margins for them, environment be damned; the proper solution is not to buy into the “consumers should be recycling” narrative but to thin out their margins so that using more sustainable and recyclable materials is financially attractive again.
The only reason this is an issue for repair shops is they can't sell you recycled stolen parts at bottom of market prices for a sky high mark up. On top of that the "non genuine parts", some of which really are utterly dire, show up in the OS as being not genuine parts. Buying genuine parts, which are available from Apple, eats into the margins. There is very little honour in the repair market, despite the makeup applied to it by a couple of prominent youtubers and organisations.

The amount of horror stories I've seen over the years from independent repairers is just terrible. Just last year a friend had a screen hot snotted back on their Galaxy.

While I understand the point, that and the classic "X company produce Y% of carbon emission worldwide!" feel very dishonest. They don't produce the waste for the heck of it. It is directly linked to our consumption. We want less plastic waste ? Then vote for more regulation, and sadly, this doesn't seem like the priority for a lot of people right now (which is understandable since rich country just send their plastic waste to poor country, they don't see the consequences of their action).
