I found the cite in an article by a VC, linked from HN.

I'll post it for you but not just now as it will take me a while to dig up my bookmark, also I need to get some sleep.

I'm skeptical too, but that's what the VC did claim.
Right on - the biggest (and IMO only truly relevant) reason why the Fire Phone flopped is because it doesn't benefit customers.

The Fire Phone wasn't built to be a superior phone, or give customers something truly new and useful. It was built to be an Amazon Content Delivery Device.

This is a phone whose primary raison d'etre is to get people to buy more stuff from Amazon. It's a distillation of a platform strategy, not the desire to produce a genuine product.

Until Amazon starts coming at this with the primary goal of producing a greater, better phone - and the goal of selling more Amazon content a distant second - they will keep failing.
I think they should work on something whether it is side projects, research, etc. just to better themselves as CS students and as potential job candidates
I think it's a representative comparison.
i've actually daydreamed about starting a computing appliance company that would make a variety of services plug and play for consumers and small businesses, from email to storage, to networking, to security, and to smart home. it's actually the direction apple is headed, but they're encumbered by the innovator's dilemma, which leaves an opportunity for an upstart. google and facebook are similarly too focused on adtech, while amazon on commerce, to lock up this market yet.

> Agreeing to develop the mine in Greenland doesn’t even meaningfully address your (myopic) worldview about stopping Chinese domination of rare earth supplies.

I agree with everything in your comment, except for where you say that the parent’s idea is myopic.

Why do you think that?
From the article -> "Due to the proximity to manufacturers of specialized hardware and access to cheap electricity, majority of the mining process has been conducted in China as miners in the country account for more than 75% of the Bitcoin network’s hashing power, as shown in Fig. 1. As one of the largest energy consuming countries on the planet, China is a key signatory of the Paris Agreement18,19,20. However, without appropriate interventions and feasible policies, the intensive Bitcoin blockchain operation in China can quickly grow as a threat that could potentially undermine the emission reduction effort taken place in the country."
I've always seen the main perk of Wix being it's hosting. Wordpress is significantly harder to get setup.

If I want to setup Offtop5.com and add a landing page I can do so in 30 seconds via Wix, I don't even see how WP competes with Wix.

Likewise, power users aren't likely to love Wix. A variety of cheaper hosting providers exists. I don't really see what unique value Wix offers

You really want to argue with worldview from past? (30 years ago!!!)
>Now, why is this an issue in real code? Imagine you’re writing your own memory allocator based on []byte – something that’s common when dealing with a lot of tiny allocations that shouldn’t slow down the GC. When the user asks for N bytes of memory, you return a slice that is a slice somewhere from that []byte, with length N. Now the user does something stupid: He appends to it. As we’ve seen before, this append will “leak” into memory beyond the length of the slice, and beyond what the memory allocator intended. You just overwrote someone else’s memory!

So, first: "writing your own memory allocator [is] common when dealing with a lot of tiny allocations that shouldn’t slow down the GC".

Second: "Now the user does something stupid: He appends to it. As we’ve seen before, this append will “leak” into memory beyond the length of the slice, and beyond what the memory allocator intended. You just overwrote someone else’s memory!".

Is this what we want to be dealing with in a 2013 language?

I'd rather have full C-like control than such BS edge cases and having to re-implement memory management myself.
Only one point is addressed, and that is the broad idea that "languages must say yes" (to be popular).

None of the details or more subtle points are addressed.
Wow, Huxley looks awesome for folks using Selenium! Looks like it can work with a list like in my article, but it can also record every click in a Selenium test. I also like the idea of including RMS distance in the diff -- makes milestone changes apparent without looking at each image. Thanks
If I understand you right, you have a lot of different data types to scrape, so essentially you have a sub-program for each data type and when a page is downloaded, you let each of these have a go at the page and emit content if it finds any? Or did I completely miss the point?
If the entire dataset fits into memory on your laptop then it's not big data, and the only reason for using map reduce etc is to build experience with it or proof of concept for a larger dataset.
Thank you, that's appreciated. I want it to not be complicated in use - but like anything new, there's always that wall of initial confusion. It's early days for all of it, and this is taking a very different approach with the shell: it treats it like a proper language. Arguably, one that needs much more discipline than first appears.

Everyone has a different learning style - perhaps the tutorial will help? Or just looking at a real use case - try bish-bosh at https://github.com/raphaelcohn/bish-bosh. Let me know if there's a better way of explaining it.

If there's enough folks interested, maybe we could run an interactive tutorial or IRC session?
>I believe this must not be achieved by any kind of coercion coming from government.

The thing is, as soon as you talk about a system of property, you're talking about violent coercion. Even before you consider corruption, the government is disproportionately helping rich people by enforcing that they have exclusive access to a larger share of the world's resources. That's fundamentally what it means to be "rich".

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not going to suggest completely abolishing property rights. I just get sick of people using "it's coercion" as an argument against any government intervention, while quietly ignoring the absolutely huge amount of coercion involved in enforcing a "free market".

>Nobody will be able to make money by favoritism or coercion or corruption if there is no entity (e.g. government) that facilitates those things.

People are perfectly capable of favouring, coercing and corrupting others without any help. Centralised power can make it worse in some cases, but it's not like all that power disappears when you take away the government.
I've always had lots of anxiety, and I was once in a psychiatric hospital for 2 weeks several years ago. I stopped taking meds though a while ago. I figure anxiety is just part of my life, and it's not worth fighting.

Have you done CBT?
Not sure how "new" this model is, it's just not well-known in the mainstream. Dr. Rhona Patrick has been explaining this very clearly for years. Go watch any of her podcasts with Joe Rogan.
What I have found and read recently-ish about as well is that dietery cholesterol will actually not have any bad effect on the cholesterol in your bloodstream. If I eat eggs and bacon my cholesterol basically stays the same as if I don't and my body just manufactures more of the bad stuff.

https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/how-its-made-cho...

> In fact, cholesterol production is so important that your liver and intestines make about 80% of the cholesterol you need to stay healthy. Only about 20% comes from the foods you eat
In this case I meant mostly as in "out of things they do, the big effect is on the cholesterol numbers". We still don't really know if they help with heart diseases or not. As far as I understand it, that still relies on the unproven hypothesis that lowering cholesterol numbers does improve the outcomes.

Reminds me of this FoD vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ua-WVg1SsA
Where I went to school, there were only white kids. However, we did have kids with black, brown, blonde and ginger hair. We never really cared much about the color of anyone's hair.

I hope in the future, all races will be so intermingled that some generation of kids don't really care about anyones skin, or religion, or culture, just as we did with the hair.

But I'm afraid we are far away from that one.

The level of engineering put into creating feeds and distracting you from your purpose on some websites is terrifying. As part of my attempts to lessen my digital addiction, I wrote filters in ublock origin to block off anything on youtube that was distracting (auto suggestions, feeds). I had to target at least 4 different places to get the site looking clean.

There's the home page, the video suggestions at the side of a video you are watching, the video suggestions that pop up when a video ends, and much more. All equally distracting algorithmically-curated rakes that you have to step over. Here are some of the filter strings I used:

www.youtube.com###secondary
www.youtube.com###chips-below > .ytd-rich-grid-renderer.style-scope
www.youtube.com###primary > .ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.style-scope
www.youtube.com##.ytp-endscreen-content

Unreal, in my opinion, how firm of a hold these kinds of sites can get over your brain through dopamine addiction and distraction.
Also the suspect names give it away:

What does that mean to have an open hardware cloud when your CPUs looks like to be Intel hardware which AFAIK is not open ?
Do you have RISC-V or any open ISA CPU servers?
Is secure boot / TPM available with open implementations on your machines?
Just because "Every React codebase I've ever worked in has used JSX" doesn't mean "you still need to transpile JSX in most scenarios". Of course, if you're serious about using React, doing the transpilation before pushing your code to the CDN probably makes the most sense, rather than doing the transpilation client-side or using vanilla JS. But just because it's common, doesn't mean you need to follow that way of doing things.
I have the same feeling that antropomorphizing robots these way is a dangerous direction to head in. We are intentionally confusing ourselves into thinking they are something other than they are.
> Do you mean it's good for tech searches?

Not good as Google, but definitely better than DDG. Try it, don't wanna give you high expectations.
> be cold at home

I'm not cold. I am someone who easily gets cold: I sit still 14 out of 16 hours every day, and I'm also way too selfish to let myself be cold all day every day.

It would neither be sustainable nor a good example for others.

No, I'm warm, sometimes too warm, and the room is currently at 17°C. Still a far cry from climate neutral of course, but a (to me) respectable percentage better than the 21-22°C I used to require as recently as last winter (I just hadn't looked into layering my clothing before, it was surprisingly simple to lower my thermal need by 5°C).

> an individual choosing to [do uncommon things]

Not only does it make me feel better, it also means I have first-hand experience to tell others what they could do and what impact it has had for me. The 2 extra minutes a 20-minute trip takes are mostly peanuts while saving a sizable amount of CO2 as well as money (most people pay for their fuel). I will still drive fast when I am in a rush, but for all regular trips you can choose to do this without leaving much earlier at all.

I think that perspective might help others consider their own choices. If nobody did this, it would be weird and abnormal. Now that they hear my experience, it's less so. I'm still an outlier, but it takes only one more person to set a trend.

This is of course an optimistic view and I'm well aware of that, but the alternative is doom and gloom, saying we realistically won't do anything anyway, why bother. I dunno, just seems nicer to me to try rather than accept failure beforehand. I can only do what I can do, and this is something I can do (walk the walk, then talk the talk).

(Anecdotal addition)

A friend became vegetarian for climate reasons. They drive on the highway at a literal 200km/h (125mph). Knowing that I also eat less meat and do other things towards the climate, upon hearing how fast I drive and what impact a 25% speed reduction already has, I noticed that they at least looked rather thoughtful for a minute. Will they change their habits? That's not up to me and I don't ask after it, but they at least thought about it and it will be a more conscious choice now. They might also be less likely to boast about their driving habit as they previously did, less normalizing such things.

Perhaps also not, what do I know. I just notice that a lot of people around me are making better choices in one area or another. Some use more plastic to better preserve food; it's often a trade-off. I use more clothing to preserve heat. I'm just happy that people are sharing ideas and trying new things.
Or they could have just been arrested on site.
Then what happens?

I once got a DMCA takedown request (well, Wikipedia did because of my edit) from Texas Instruments for the following numbers:

p = B709D3A0CD2FEC08EAFCCF540D8A100BB38E5E091D646ADB7B14D021096FFCD

q = B7207BD184E0B5A0B89832AA68849B29EDFB03FBA2E8917B176504F08A96246CB

which can be used to sign firmware for the TI-83+. This lead to the creation of the Wikipedia "black lock" on articles, meaning they can't be edited because of internal Wikipedia corporate policy, which didn't previously exist.

Wikipedia eventually won the dispute, and they host the numbers here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_signing_key_...

A quantitative view of a system : how it scales, what's possible / not possible ( because of hardware, software, algorithms, etc).

Basically, by knowing quantitative bounds of your system, you can make much better / quicker decisions.

what's crazy is in this day and age, you'd think uber/lyft are available in most markets but last week, I had to go to Baton Rouge (LSU with 50k students is based there) and I was relegated to a beat up, cigarette smelling, local taxi because no uber/lyft's were available at the airport (due to storms and delayed flights).
> Both drivers had been doing Uber for a long time, which would be surprising if they were getting ripped off

Did you happen to ask if this was their full-time gig, or if they were doing it as supplementary income?
yeah, i suppose it should have been called type=amount
Interesting angle. My experience (in NYC) has been that while taxis most certainly have better knowledge of the city, Uber is by far more reliable in just getting me there. This is because of the key difference of Uber knowing exactly where I'm going in advance, and relaying turn-by-turn directions to the driver. Most of the time, the taxi driver knows the address or cross streets I'm going to. But when they don't, it's painful. I've never even been asked in a Lyft/Uber, though.
I would have though that the writing material at the time (especially in Judea) would have been papyrus and not parchment. Which makes the archive conservation situation even worse, as papyrus don't keep well outside of arid climate.
Can one not purchase anything anonymously? The state is allowed to keep track of everything everyone buys? All for a little tax benefit? That is horrible.

If that were true, we'd never have had the Fairness Doctrine, and the debate over Net Neutrality would have been over before it began.
For the first time in our history the transfer of power has turned violent. One of the most important buildings in the country was violently invaded by a mob of rioters, resulting in 1 death so far.

The fact that you or someone else thought it could be worse doesn't stop this being one of the worst assaults on our system of democracy in our history.

Also Swift and Nim w/ ARC use reference counting, which generally give much better latency and lower memory overhead. Reference counting is part of the reason iOS devices don’t need as much RAM.

Nim’s ARC system also doesn’t use atomic or locks which means it’s runtime overhead is very low. I use it successfully on embedded devices for microsecond timed events with no large tail latencies.

Thanks, that's a good tip! I'll definitely check them out.

And yup, definitely a concern. Makes me think that perhaps there's a possibility to not cap the posts, but rather have any posts outside of the first one in a week have something like a "secondary" tag. Then again, you might run into the problem that Instagram has where everyone stopped posting as soon as stories caught on.

Alas, it's a tricky problem.

I love FluffyChat. Been using it for a month now and it's significantly faster than Element/SchildiChat on Android.
It has the basic chat features I would expect from a Matrix application. Only feature I don't think it has crosssigning at the moment. (In which you're signing your friends master-key, which they use to sign their new devices, so you don't have to have a cryptoparty anytime a friend adds a new device)
I think so, but in the method I am outlining, the student would be doing an audition with a university they would like to attend, it isn't just for college credit.
Okay, disregarding the whole incident part of things, I have two main points I wish to address:

First, why on earth would you still be using non-parametrized queries. Hell, I even remember than back in php 5 the docs said explicitly please use paramtrized queries. To think that after all that evangeling mysql_query et. al. would still be used is really saddening.

Second, huge fucking kudos to them for the incredible response time, transparency, and great logging (looking at you Ubiquity).

All in all, PHP was my first real programming experience and will always remain my sweetheart. I hope it grows even stronger of a community.
The same is true with the US.
Breaking the tip of the cable is better than breaking the port.

As you have proven, it is usually possible to get those parts back out of the port, which is hopefully undamaged, even though the tip of the cable broke off inside.

The submitter asked for "low-probability, high-impact" events. Cats destroying local ecosystems is a low-probability, high-impact event and perceived as tolerable. We've seen situations where non-native animals have messed up ecosystems, and there are a lot of cats in the world hunting lower on-the-food-chain prey.

1) A month isn't long enough.

2) Why did he scrap his code after 12 days? Why did he build UML diagrams? Sounds like a bit of over-engineering to me. He should have focused on the MVP.

3) He thought all he could do was code, and then he would be successful.

4) He didn't reach out to potential customers.
