<p>I'd prefer to write markdown, publish to my static site, and cross-post to social media. I imagine I'd also want to get an overview of - or make an ad-hoc post from - one of several accounts on one of several platforms.<p>I came across Posse Party and Postiz, both of which are self-hosted. It doesn't seem like either is built for this use case.<p>Which direction would you go in?</p>

<p>If Valve limited credit card purchases to PG games, but let customers purchase other games via crypto, then payment processors couldn’t complain about alleged high chargeback rates or association with adult content.<p>I imagine payment processors wouldn’t love this solution, but at that point they’re just asking for full editorial control, and we should resist.</p>

<p>It should be up to the employer. If one company thinks that a past conviction is irrelevant while other companies think a past conviction is disqualifying, then the former may get the employee at a better rate, the company will thrive depending on whether they were right, they'll have more resources to hire ex-cons, and other companies will follow suit.<p>A blanket law that forces all companies to hire employees without considering information they think is important is really inefficient. Just recently, governments and people were complaining that rideshare companies weren't being exclusive enough! If you think new laws will find the optimal policy for all companies, you are incorrect!<p>It's also overreaching. Freedom of association is important. The owner of a Jewish deli shouldn't be compelled to hire a formerly convicted neo-Nazi.</p>

<p>Of 288,072 people aged 16-39, only 6 people who had only 2 doses were hospitalized, compared to 1 person who had 3 doses [1]. This study was published before Omicron in October, for which the vaccine is even less effective and the disease is less severe.<p>I'm not yet aware of any other study that indicates the booster is useful for people in this age group.<p>I thought that a spike in antibodies might be useful in the short term, but a recent CDC presentation [2] said of an Omicron case study:<p>> 79% fully vaccinated; 32% with booster dose; Five of the 14 persons received additional dose <14 days before symptom onset<p>which doesn't give me any confidence.<p>> security theatre<p>Since mandates don't exclude people that were previously infected, to me, they seem punitive.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)02249-2/fulltext" rel="nofollow">https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2021-12-16/06-COVID-Scobie-508.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-...</a></p>

<p>Ian Freemen is a controversial political activist whose pro-liberty, pro-bitcoin radio station was raided by the FBI in 2016 and had their equipment confiscated. It was widely covered in the news, he was kicked out of at least one community organization, and last I heard, they still didn't have all their equipment back.<p>No charges were ever filed, and the media outlets didn't bother to update their articles.<p>I think false accusations happen, especially to controversial figures, and assume most victims just don't want to call much attention to it.</p>

<p>Increasing land use rights on a property can only increase the value of that property.<p>However, increasing land use rights on a <i>neighboring</i> property can decrease the value of the original property. For example, a neighbor might want to use their property to establish a brothel.<p>Nimbys want to control property that they don’t own. Seems like theft to me!</p>

<p>HN readers are wrong to think this will be fixed when the government creates a CBDC or  regulates payment providers like a utility.<p>In addition to the government currently blocking transactions from semi-legal industries that should be legal (cannabis), the government has a history of censoring mail mentioning contraceptives (Comstock Laws) and pressuring banks to cut businesses with legal, undesirable industries (Operation Chokepoint). A few weeks ago, an IRS agent at a service center refused to help me because they didn’t like my clothes. (I was wearing a tank top.) This is inevitable when you create government-backed monopolies.</p>
