Around 10 years ago when I was telling everyone what will happen soon (floods, wild fires, heat waves etc) people looked at me like I'm some kind of lunatic. These days the same people ask me what I think about the future. Few years ago I believed we can still win with climate change but now I'm certain that we will not. Problem is in the fundamentals of our current economic model that is based on infinite growth, which keeps society stable. General population social hierarchy of values is also a huge obstacle, what's going on Instagram is a huge indicator of that. Most people care but not enough to justify lifestyle change. I was very unhappy and worried a lot about what future will bring and that we are not doing enough to stop it, but now I'm relieved and happy, because I've accepted that this will happen either way and I can't do anything about it more than what I'm doing already. This will be controversial advice on HN but here it goes.. if you are miserable because of climate change and you constantly fear of future just let it go, you can't control the future. Not everyone needs to be a hero, live you life, spend time with your love ones, do what makes you happy, be kind to others, try to not consume too much so you don't contribute to climate change and plan accordingly.

informational filing requirement if you are a foreign owned US Single Member LLC (Form 5472/1120).

Lets say hypothetically someone operating IT consultancy service didn't know about that requirement, is running company 5+ years, has EIN, paid LLC Delaware annual tax but never filled those forms.

1. What in that kind of hypothetical scenario should that person do?

2. Does the penalty for not filling it would affect that person LLC only (as disregarded entity)? so basically he would not be personally liable ?

3. Does your site offer filling those forms as a service?

GitLab 13.0 6 years ago

I am running Gitlab in Docker (using official images), how would you go with upgrading from version 12.10 without losing any data? I am using volumes for Gitlab data.

If you are running a torrent site with "links" (.torrent files available) it's illegal. Torrent site is not hosting any videos, just links to them. This is exactly the same with popcorn time because they have providers in their code base. In case of the torrent site interface is a website, in case of popcorn time it's an desktop application. If they would remove providers (torrent sites/trackers with illegal content) from their code then DMCA would be invalid.

Show HN: Caddy 2 6 years ago

I've started using caddy 2 couple of days ago, I am using Caddyfile because json based configuration looks really awful and is hard to maintain (quick changes take a lot of time). The only problem I've encountered is that you can't turn off TLS for a route using Caddyfile. Why is that?

There would be no political suicide there. It's so easy to make Google/Facebook look evil in this case if they don't comply. Just say they are not paying taxes and getting our money abroad etc.

But there is 0% chance of Google/Facebook not complying.

I think Google and Facebook have more power in this relationship

Not even close.

Sorry but this is just embarrassing. He wasted so much of his time and time of others while doing 15 sec of googling[1] would solve this.
