and some complain about underpopulation
either a bunch of people die or a bunch get poor and either way one half of these complaints goes away
if even the winners of the game want it repealed why not
it could be fun
and it worked for the ussr, with only a loss of a few million lives and the gain of millions
this is also true for china
net gain for communist china in citizens

> Lifespan and metabolic health are influenced by dietary nutrients. Recent studies show that a reduced protein intake or low-protein/high-carbohydrate diet plays a critical role in longevity/metabolic health. Additionally, specific amino acids (AAs), including methionine or branched-chain AAs (BCAAs), are associated with the regulation of lifespan/ageing and metabolism through multiple mechanisms. Therefore, methionine or BCAAs restriction may lead to the benefits on longevity/metabolic health. Moreover, epidemiological studies show that a high intake of animal protein, particularly red meat, which contains high levels of methionine and BCAAs, may be related to the promotion of age-related diseases.

It's better to point out WebKit.
Complaining about names is ridiculous. There are only so many names to go around, and there's almost no overlap in use-case or userbase between a synthesizer and a throwaway piece of business software for Yet Another Soulless Cloud Ecosystem.
Naming things isn't hard. What's hard is that people feel possessive over English words. You probably share your name with hundreds of thousands of people in your country.

At what point do we draw a line and accept that a person can be judged negatively for harm they cause?
If he's got the degree, he's prepared enough. After he gets a job, you'll be in a position where he won't really be practical to get those "Wow!" gifts for anymore—entry-level salary for new grads is pretty great.
It's basically the last "easy" gift you'll ever be able to get him; past that, everything else will require serious thought if you want to give genuinely meaningful gifts. And there are certainly worse gifts to give someone than something he'll likely use almost every time he gets bored for the next few years.
If you're very insistent on not getting him it though, get him a TAOCP (The Art of Computer Programming, by Donald Knuth) boxed set. This would allow you to line up gifts for future years, too, because TAOCP is not a finished series yet, so there will be new entries for the foreseeable future.
It's still not as easy to develop for as IRC though.
Even doing basic stuff with Matrix, on the other hand, while still better than most, requires a lot more effort. The docs are decent, though.
If it's a core pillar of the project, and the T&S team doesn't exist anymore, is Matrix dead in the water, crumbling before it had even gotten the foundation laid?
You aren't as good as Signal at being secure.

You aren't as good as Telegram at being useful or comfortable, and you're especially not as good for groups.
Signal is in practice open core, given how little they do source releases of the server. Telegram keeps their clients open source, mostly, but not the server.
The value you provide is from the fact that it's open source and also easy to develop for, but you aren't even as easy to develop for as IRC.
Laying in bed with the wolves of capitalism is stupid for a project like yours. Bid on government projects and grants, fundraise based on features, or figure out projects that benefit from economies of scale that would leave you competitive (P2P Matrix dedicated hardware would be an easy sell to some governments and much of your audience) while not closed. Don't fool yourself into thinking destroying the thing that makes your creation valuable is the way to succeed. It's not.
If you've already started with layoffs, the damage might already be done.

Within the game, "the stock market," it is rational. The game is "What do I think other people will pay for this?"
The price of a given stock is always rational under that game.
Your problem is assuming the price is justified based on any particular aspect of any company in question. The answer is almost never "Yes." The price doesn't represent competence, it reflects confidence.
The market is a confidence game, and so the prices are always rational. The game itself is even rational! However, the actors are not always or often rational, and prices are only ever coincidentally (and rarely) aligned with the actual value.
The price going up that much in that short of a time period is very rational, because the price is a function of what others think others are willing to pay for it, rather than trying to reflect anything wider.
The point that I am making is that it's incredibly easy to decipher why "track everyone under every identity they choose" can go wrong and lower the quality of discussion, and specifically, that it's so easy the fact you can't think of a single reason why it's a bad idea to completely eradicate privacy.
If I can find an alt of yours saying that you've quit smoking and then push tantalizing ads to you, you're going to bring me a better return than blind-firing into the American public.
If someone is looking for people who are easy to manipulate in borderline-illegal fashion (let's say, sex crimes), it's a cheat code if they see some throwaway account on HN comment on a post about the treatment of youth, "As a present high school student, I disagree with your statement because..." and track it back to a minor.
I'm sure this is completely harmless and will not harm society.
You wouldn't go into why JavaScript is bad to point out that you don't need to write JavaScript to make a web page. You would just note that JavaScript was a late addition to the web and wasn't the first language usable on it.
Plenty of people were writing CL before CLOS existed.
"Yahoo Pipes! $7.99 a month with a generous free tier!"
"Mashup Editor included with every Google Cloud subscription above $5/month."
You never want a product to sound like an add-on: Add-ons are low-value and generally used to rent seek off of people who are already locked in. Naming something in a way that it feels like its own standalone product will inspire consumer confidence.
Generic word + descriptor is an easy way to sound like an add-on.
"Video Editor" could be for anything, but is certainly not an independent product.
"Pachi Video Editor" sounds a bit more like its own thing.
"Pachi Cutting Room" is closer to the mark, despite being two words and a company name.
I know what I was doing, and if you look elsewhere in the thread, I was right about what the GUIX maintainer wanted. Not to get egg on your face.
I wouldn't call Dylan thriving, unless you're a Windows user that really doesn't care about bootstrapping your language.
It's alive though, in the same sense that Miles, the dog that Segall froze and then brought back to life in 1987, was alive. Brain damaged, but alive.
It's not a functional programming language. It's an object-oriented imperative language.
