this has been on my mind a lot recently, thinking we need a new protocol, and make new clients that just don�t have to do nearly as much and could be fast,

my friend Rob put together the base layer for such a protocol in the late 1990s

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-earhart-ap-spec-01

it�s basically the non-application-specific parts of IMAP, ICAP, etc. polished a little bit and with saner defaults than IMAP (8-bit clean/UTF-8 by default, no need for IDLE as an extension)

imo it's actually effective to change the media people see through public policy, because the drinks industry would not have the ads if they were not effective!

they wouldn�t produce and show the ads they do if they didn�t think the ads were effective

for all anyone knows, this quarter�s ad buys are suppressing demand, not maintaining or increasing it

so YC has a private forum for �YC alumni� and someone�in March�talked about how they went to a low-income-and-underserved-community vaccine clinics in Oakland and got vaccinated and how other founders could too

another YC �alumnus,� Paul Biggar, lambasted them for skipping the queue, since we�re in the middle of a global loving pandemic and making sure vaccines go to the right populations is kind of important

then Paul tweeted about the incident�and that got him �kicked out� of YC (i.e. banned from the forum)

look at how dang, a �Hacker� �News� admin, frames the discussion:

dang 4 hours ago | parent | flag | favorite | on: LOL just got kicked out of @ycombinator

The submitted title was "Y Combinator kicks out Paul Biggar over a tweet". That is inaccurate, so in keeping with the HN guidelines ("Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), I've replaced the title with the tweet text. That's the standard thing we do with titles, when people post Twitter links.

Much as I'd love to, it's not my place to say why the original title was inaccurate, so I'll just remind you all that there are two or more sides to every story and not everything on Twitter is true.

In keeping with the rule that we moderate HN less, not more, when YC or a YC startup is involved (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20moderate%20less%20%22not%20more%22%20yc&sort=byDate&type=comment), I'm not doing anything else to the submission. Normally, of course, we'd downweight this sort of petty drama.

the worst thing you can possibly do is not follow YC�s rules or talk poorly about Paul Graham

for example, someone in that thread claimed it was bad that Sam Altman �bro�d up� YC, and this response got downvoted to the point I had difficulty finding it�

it's still a story about a young, unappreciated nerd who one day discovers he is rich beyond his wildest dreams, a superior being to the humans who previously trod upon him, and instantly recognized by his peers as a wizard of legendary power. whisked away to a private school for gifted children, he does whatever he pleases as adults consistently turn a blind eye, and everyone who takes a disliking to him either comes around quickly enough or is unmasked as a villain suitable for unceremonious murder. the wizarding world is governed by utterly impotent, classist plutocrats who have spent over a decade cowering in fear at a wizard who was unable to murder an infant

honestly, our modern understanding of economics is such that we probably could switch from using trust funds to printing money to cover social security and medicare and even basic income without producing any significant inflation, much less hyperinflation, by adjusting a variety of other economic inputs and outputs to keep monetary velocity from changing too much

someone should make a text generation bot trained on the full corpus of HN comments (weighted by number of responses, of course) and then just set it loose on HN under an alias

feed it the story and other comments for a prompt

even if the politicians themselves didn�t change?

one time they run as a D, the next time they run as an R, win both times because they court the racist white people vote and have zero changes to their other positions, sounds de facto one-party to me

i don't think a lot of 1st, 2nd generation white immigrants really acknowledge that structural racism and all the other cool ways to capitalistly keep poor people poor and hungry exist,

they�re specifically targeted by the far right�s messaging on this because they can be held up as examples when trying to deny the existence of structural racism in the US

and it�s not just white immigrants either, the far right tries to court both South and East Asian immigrants for that purpose as well, though they�re more likely to run into people who have actually experienced bigotry that way
