This seems odd. My experience visiting India was of software parks that are 24h operations. Perhaps this was in the Mumbai sticks. The 50 phone lines and people coming to work in a bungalow not being a giveaway, perhaps something alongside the breakfast order was.

If it's something your proud of having done, perhaps buy the <library name>.com or <>.io or whatever.

Also, while the code is under an MIT license, is the name or brand?

Deng Xiaoping was not the successor to Mao. That was Hua Guofeng. An interim leader, but an important interim stopgap.

I have no idea who N S Lyons is other than a substack author. There are many other small factual errors and romanticisms of writing in the piece, as well as avenues left unexplored not least if Confucianism is but an excuse for authoritarianism as it has been used by past dynasties who've tended to flip from Confucianism to Taoism, and sometimes other, to justify themselves.

But that shouldn't shadow the subject at hand, which is casting some light on the limelight avoiding figure of Wang.

There's a small minimise button located next to each post on HN.

It's easier clicking that than making pronoun-filled replies that revolve around personal norms of commenting outside HN guidelines.

The Goldman guy?

UBS had similar? Perhaps.

Try searching for these.

Requiring phone numbers for things is why I don't sign up.

Look at industrial economics and shakeouts.

The advantage a first mover has is early access to innovation. With earlier customers and a slightly more mature product they're a step ahead. So, knowing this, can you leap frog it by second guessing what the customer/market really wants in a way that wins for you?

That a point exists is an assumption, and dimensions constructed.

Given you now live in the EU you could try exercising your right to account deletion.

The kids have no choice. It might happen, or even be compulsory depending on social system.

Worth asking though. Your kids might end up at the equivalent of Aveling Park.

Bootstrap, live the good life.

My personal solution is to boycot companies that do this, and should they come up in conversation mention they arbitrarily block legitimate users from their services

Veering on a tangent, I've been pretty happy with Netim as a French (not just .fr) registrar and replacement for Gandi.

Indeed.

I must have phrased these 4 words poorly. I'll try harder next time.

I was disappointed that the author hadn't done a literature review, even a basic one. Perhaps they're an expert and didn't see the need, but they didn't cite anything or provide any further reading.

And it's not like this subject isn't researched.

There's so much [1] [2] that a literature review might be a really good place to start.

A further article, without using data to demonstrate normative hypotheses but also with visualisations, is this: [3]

Surely it is not just anyone that a link is shared with, but anyone with the link?

It's link-bearer open access to a partial document (an entire page) an author marks as not having partial access. Circumvention of Google's authentication procedure.

Is that understanding correct?

If so, Google's seemingly OK with users believing something's secure, that isn't. And that could cause information leakage by Google's design that could lead to fraud and/or other crime.

One of the lemmas from this and simulation theory [1] is that we're not in a simulation run by a super computer, though it might be for us, but we're in a memory leak that's been left unchecked, an Excel-167 business application, or a hacked train toilet door lock [2] of the future.

The irony of posting this on substack.

Is a monster saying they want someone dead alright? Not telling when or how, just suggesting to their subordinates.

Where's your line of influence? With power comes, etc.

Turn it off and on again.

Also try VSCodium.

As a privacy concerned user, I print Hacker News stories I'm interested in, and then POST replies.

Though as my printer was made in Sweden, it sometimes just prints a page saying "Sorry." with a 403 header as HN sometimes blocks privacy focused people.

Dreamweaver 3. It was downhill from 4.

Not only was it full stack, but user/community management, strategy, perhaps sales, all rolled into one.

Trustify.

Or, Veritrust which sounds like it needs a ™

While I think it is commonplace to assume that, it's just an assumption and I feel HN would be better if we just stuck to known facts and marked hearsay as hearsay.

In that case, I think HN and its users would rightfully be in mocking mode having pioneered HTML, CSS, JS, a modern browser to run this all, widespread home internet capable of handling the heady 50KB of the front page and computing power of 10 Crays to handle that, all for getting into arguments about what to do with said self-invented JS, units of measurement, pedantry over careless phrasing, a poor grasp of economics, and of course on-upmanship for the karma, all while still not having learnt Lisp that'd already been around for 16 years.

Quite impressive really. Less impressive than the last 1.5 decades that's been about owning others' data and lives while serving them short videos, increasing social distance while increasing social pressure, increasing off the clock, always on pressures, and thousands+ of highly educated peoples' livelihoods based around making spinning gizmos while another video loads.

Noeing?

A burger that cannot be easily eaten without losing some part of it is not a functional burger but an exercise in self falgulance by a chef whose creativity cannot extend beyond 'more' and two pieces of bread that you're more the fool for paying for.

My ex employer uses blockchain to puff out marketing material. I don't think they've delivered any product with it, at least didn't when I was there.

With an offshoot BPO wing, they've recently moved to claiming, via press releases, their entire HR function of 60 people has been reduced to just 2 and AI. Which I find hard to believe as I'm still in contact with 10+ of the HR doing the exact same jobs with the exact same broken spreadsheet workflow they always did.
