I get that they exist to protect people from getting scammed, but it also locks people out of some of the best ways to create wealth unless they’re already rich. Crypto is an example of both. More people get scammed, more regular people acc

There's something I remember being told (or maybe read about too) related to the gift culture of extreme poverty as an adaptive behavior for survival, but that paradoxically keeps people in poverty poor. The basic idea is that you and

Yeah, I'm glad they've announced GTA6 - I find the GTA online stuff boring/uninteresting. I was worried because it was such a cash cow and relatively easy/cheap to work on that we may never get another high quality story

Betting against HN sentiment is usually a good way to make money. I hope Zuckerberg pulls off Meta and what he's trying to do. He's an extremely good CEO, and the alternative is more power in the hands of TikTok and CCP controlled

Ah I missed this bit, yeah that’s definitely what they’re going for.

The cost paired with this copy: “enabling high throughput connectivity for small offices, storefronts, and super users across the globe.” It’s 5x the price of standard Starlink (both for the hardware and the monthly cost). Won’t be worth it

I bought it for my in-laws in Placerville California for when I’m there so can’t easily check right now, but I recall 24-40ms typically closer to 24-30ms. Probably good enough, biggest pain is finding a view without obstructions from trees.

The regular dish is great for normal personal use already in remote areas (and the costs are very reasonable). It’s not competitive in (most) areas with options from cable providers, but that’s also not its purpose. Starlink will give us hi

$500 deposit, $2500 total cost for the dish, $500/mo for the service. Looks like it's targeting the enterprise market. The dish cost is probably closer to the actual value of the dish. The original dish we bought for $500 I think

I have one and it's really great. Went from high latency 10mbps (calnet) to low latency 150mbps (starlink). Prior to calnet we had geostationary satellite which was unusably bad and would try to tether through Verizon but signal was ve

My knowledge only comes from Karpathy's talks about this (which are great, worth watching if you haven't seen them). I found his and Tesla's arguments convincing for the general case. That doesn't mean that the narrow ca

Yeah, they’re not trying to solve the same thing? I think Tesla is right that to solve it for real you need to solve the general case which can’t rely on high resolution maps. The city cab case is smaller and can, so the cruise approach mak

iOS also has a contacts only whitelist, you can set "Silence Unknown Callers" to On. It's great - my only feature request would be to allow an API for app access so things like door dash, uber, amazon, etc. could be optionall

I don’t think pulling his music is effective in persuading people he wants to persuade (likely this stunt has the opposite effect), but I also think it’s better to engage in good faith than just argue to suppress speech. You can’t always if

Imo he shouldn’t pull it. If he is uncomfortable sharing the platform so wants to remove his music fine, I’d just say that without the “you can’t have both of us” implication.
766.
by gonehome 5y ago
In a strictly technical sense I agree. In a practical sense, one side is arguing to suppress someone’s ability to speak/express themselves via a popular platform and one side is not.
767.
by gonehome 5y ago
I honestly don’t think that matters? He said pull my music and explicitly said you can have one of us not both.

pseudalopex is just being a pedant - op clearly meant that Young can use Spotify and Rogan is not trying to stop that.
769.
by gonehome 5y ago
I think private companies/platforms are able to exercise their speech in order to decide who is or isn’t on them. Keeping or removing Rogan is an exercise of their speech and within their right to decide. Still, I think it’s generally

by gonehome 5y ago
Well in this specific case a couple of easy reasons. Rogan’s deal was $100M which is way more money than Young. So if it’s a business move than keeping Rogan is the obvious choice as he provides way more value to Spotify. I care less abou

"I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them ... They can have Rogan or Young. Not both." I read this as if

It has to do with speech, that people often hold stupid positions that are not aligned with the truth but we don’t usually demand that they’re silenced. [0] The GMO case was an example of a position Young may hold that is likely political a

by gonehome 5y ago
Yeah, for clarity Young and Mitchell are totally within their right to pull their music as an exercise of their speech and I’m fine with that. What I find distasteful is the framing of “Rogan or me” as a way to pressure Spotify to pull Roga

by gonehome 5y ago
Based on the recent Stratechery Neil Young advocates against GMOs which is the “anti-science” position on that issue. I think independent of my views on Rogan personally this kind of ultimatum to silence someone is just wrong. The free spee

Yeah, the question always irks me as well and I usually leave it blank. The recent Covid stuff about prioritizing vaccines depending on race (which thankfully got rejected) shows there is reason to be suspicious of it imo. “Race” is such an

Yeah, I agree with all of this. Doing this well also requires building relationships with the team and trust. Recognizing little things like how people can be afraid of a project (and that fear can lead to spinning), and how to break things

Just tweet the word “metamask” in any context and instantly get three replies from bots trying to scam you. There’s a ton of stuff like this.

Temporary benevolence and promises can’t fix bad incentives. If we want to change the behavior, we need to change the incentives and we need to do it in a way that actually has a hope of working.

The Nexus phones were the only ones that shipped pure android without a lot of OEM crapware installed you couldn't remove (Samsung's "Touchwiz"). That was another thing at the time which pushed me away from android, they
