x11antiek··on The dark side of music streaming
It would be weird for Spotify to remove [5] from the platform given that they're paying for this music to be created & distributed under their "Perfect Fit Content" program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversy_over_fake_artists_...

This is a spam link.
x11antiek··on US pauses all federal aid and grants
Hey dang, can you explain why these threads were flagged then?

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42790729 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42716926 (please don't say "paywall", there are so many submussions under the paywall from US-based magazines)

Who are these "users" and how to stop them? Thank you.

Dude, you resubmit the same thing over and over again from new accounts, not cool
x11antiek··on The Day Instagram Blocked Democracy
It seems like a standard practice on HN nowadays. I am afraid some mods may be politically charged. See the following thread for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42716926
x11antiek··on The addictive nature of AI for humans
How do you cope with the sudden loss of the need to use your body for movement or hunting in the wild? By going to the gym and dedicating time to physical fitness. Isn’t that similar?

How to unflag the submission? There's no paywall anymore, and it seems like you can't resubmit the link.
x11antiek··on The Trouble with Elon
Clearly an inappropriate use of flagging by @quickthrowman.

x11antiek··on Where to Move?
No offense man, but imo, you have a lot of incorrect assumptions just because you are inexperienced in the topic. People live in Romania and Dubai for very different reasons. You can run a very profitable business and pay very little income tax anywhere, and have personal real estate, cars, investments, etc, registered to business entities worldwide. This is not a "pay 40% income tax or leave" situation as you think it is. And moving to Romania, believe me you will encounter other issues with running a business there. (I live in the Balkans.) Good luck.
x11antiek··on Where to Move?
Dude, I think you really need to talk to a professional tax consultant and ask them about it. There are so many tax optimization schemes... I think you will be amazed at the opportunities that exist :-) "Where do I want to live?" and "In what jurisdiction do I need to register my business to maximize profit from my operations?" are two very different questions.
x11antiek··on Ask HN: Any tool for managing large and variable command lines?
I am a simpleton, me using CLI is basic compared to what you've described, but I have a tool called Warp on my Mac which helps me with saving terminal commands and making notes on what/why they do stuff. It's free and it's cool imo.
x11antiek··on If only someone told me this before my first startup
Thank you for this.

> 5. Landing page is the least important thing in a startup.

Can you elaborate on this point? I think I understand the idea of spending too much time rewriting the copy or moving pixels on a landing page, but your way of putting it is much more extreme, so I'd be glad if you can tell a bit more about your point of view.

x11antiek··on Why are there no startups in the real estate construction sector?
Not clear what do you mean by "primary association with real estate construction". Like Blokable? Or Juno? There are a lot of companies, they aren't really present online because their customers and investors prefer shaking hands. ;-)
x11antiek··on AI will save the world?
It's not helpful neither fair to attach systemic issues of capitalism to the novel technology you personally don't like.

Yes this is a valid concern. Yet it's about the same as jumping on a random person in the grocery store with a lecture about the unsustainability of the product that person is taking off the shelf.

Sadly, buying second-hand devices for personal use won't affect these issues of the economic system we live in.

I am making no statements about anyone's morals.

x11antiek··on AI will save the world?
Do you have a smartphone? Pretty sure it was assembled by cheap labor in third-world countries using abusive practices with no consideration for ethical concerns. Maybe you have a laptop? Same story. Did you consider this before purchasing and using these devices?
