> a potential genius newcomer's complete and total confusion and a massive chilling effect on creating a supportive environment of innovation.

A tolerable indiscretion.

This potential genius newcomer and the next all need a marketing and sales person on their team, and should just completely not pursue ideas until they have that person.

Just write the idea down in a notepad and move on to the next idea that doesn't need additional personnel. If they aren't the kind of people that don't get a lot of viable ideas, then they aren't even competing amongst the rest of us in this sector. If they meet a spunky co-founder at some mixer, resurrect the old idea. This is a Machiavellian area with a survivorship bias favoring people that can afford to survive, not people with a single poorly executed idea with misaligned product market fit. It's back to work for these kind of people, like everyone else.
I just checked since I’ve never heard it played with that Bb7 in bar 4... I’ve got one of the old unlicensed editions and it has the “right” changes, Cm7 / Cm7 / Fm7 / Fm7. Some of the stuff in the legal versions is particularly wonky.
Underrated comment. NZ, AUS, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, South Korea. Most of the countries doing well have dealt with bird flu, SARS, etc in the recent past. Shouldn't surprise people they reacted quickly and got it under control. They had plenty of practice.
For such a well-researched and thought-out writeup, I was surprised by the weakness of the recommendations. He says:

> I believe that reality works like a machine with cause/effect relationships that produce outcomes, and that when the outcomes fall short of the goals one needs to diagnose why the machine is working inadequately and then reform it

I agree with that completely; the current system has set up a network of incentives which, coupled with the breakneck pace of technology, is causing the wealth gap. And yet, the recommendations don't seem like systemic changes at all, they're more like "I would get a commission together and Do It Better."
> Putting them both in one chip tends to make both of them worse.

You don’t need to do that for them to share a single memory address space. Putting them together would be useful if sharing caches between them made sense, but it doesn’t.
What an excellent analogy! You can’t put chocolate sauce on the rice you bought because outside food and drink are always prohibited. You’ll be politely, but firmly, asked to leave. So, in a word, yes, because the owner of the restaurant says no.

But that’s a travel agent, not the hotel itself. And the big hotels brands guarantee they offer the lowest price on their website to their rewards members since they don’t have to pay commission to travel agents.

Unless it’s an opaque rate where you’re bidding for hotel rooms and don’t know which hotel you will get, but you’re forced to buy it once you bid. But I’m talking about publicly advertised prices.
The only question is, how do you pronounce it? Like the English “legit”, or the French way “le” plus “git”?
It doesn’t really matter how benevolent the intentions of Ethos Capital are, the control of a public commons like .ORG has to be held to the highest standards.

With the amount of negative PR already generated by the proposed move, it’s hard to see a way forward for ICANN that is untainted.

It is not at all unlike what is captured by the phrase: justice has to be seen to be done.
Weakest article ever. One of his main arguments is that a Taco Bell transaction got miscategorised, lol
> Surely resolvers for a TLD with 100K domains and 1MM lookups per day are cheaper to run than those with 100MM domains and 1BB lookups per day.

This on the face of it sounds reasonable, but the cost difference is likely marginal.

If you're going to provide a highly available DDoS resistant infrastructure to deal with a large scale of customers, the majority of the costs are going to come from building that distributed infrastructure across many parts of the world.

The costs may go up between 1 million lookups vs 1 billion lookups, but if there is an increase, the order of increase will be closer to 10x than it is 1000x.
Many of the cards you see offering 4-5% cashback on certain categories either have 1) high annual fees, or 2) a foreign transaction fee (the the US credit card holder gets charged a fee whenever they use the card abroad, such as in Europe).
Substrate independence - whether it's connections or something else - is a very strong claim that should be subjected to empirical testing before being accepted. (And IMO is almost certainly wrong for good practical reasons that have nothing to do with souls.)

Of course you can't test it empirically, because there's no empirical test for subjective experience. You can only test for the appearance of subjective experience - specifically for external behaviours, loosely defined, which might be considered to imply subjective experience to you as an observer.

This isn't a solvable problem, and Bostrom is begging the question by trying to hand wave it away with a sneaky "If we just accept this premise..."

In a way, the US already has this. Immigration is totally free between states, and people do immigrate to where they like the laws. The only problem is that the federal government is uniform--anything it does, the states can't decide to experiment with. Hence, I am in favor of moving as much responsibility as possible out of the federal government toward the states.

But wouldn't it be cool if there were some broader international treaty among nations? Say, a group that agreed to totally free immigration and trade?
This article is stupid. I use my real name and have no trouble calling people names or using the word "fuck". I'd do it in real life, too.

2. Allow people to flag inappropriate comments - HackerNews only allows you to flag stories that might be inappropriate. So there’s no way for me to highlight that I’m being harshly attacked by Brerrabbit and no retribution to his standing on HN for crossing the line.

This feature already exists. But nobody cares that someone made fun of you on a forum; flagging is mostly to prevent spam. Grow a pair and realize that nobody cares what someone says about you on the Internet. Close window, take a deep breath, and do something else.

Do we have to earn the right to be condescending nowadays?

To me that's kind of like asking do you have to climb the stairs in order to look down from the balcony, so, yeah, I think it needs to be earned, and I think you have earned it if you've already done the work necessary to determine that a conjecture is wild and based on flimsy evidence. The author of the article didn't do that work. I won't be seduced into conjecture about the ellipsis, but evidence about the future is not so much hard to find (it's everywhere in fact; it's the present state of things) as hard to interpret. Still, there are lots of smart people working on predicting one or another aspect of the future. Often they're wrong, so I share your skepticism, but skepticism is different from denial or dismissal.
Is there a non-flash version?

Then I guess my point about UDB doesn't require schema change will still stand then? Looking at https://github.com/facebookarchive/linkbench, the table structure looks pretty much "final". And judging by https://dom.as/2015/07/30/on-order-by-optimization/, the access pattern is pretty much fixed as well.
When an artist/booker/venue says "this is how much we want to charge people to attend this event", that is the price they want to charge. They make this choice based on wanting to draw fans in, fill the venue (for drinks sales) and not be seen as fleecing their fans.

The artist/fan relationship is everything.

For a scalper to jump in and say "I can extract more profit by buying all your tickets and fleecing your fans" is parasitic, it is rent-seeking provides literally no value to anyone besides the scalper. And the scalper doesn't care about the artists or the fans, just rent-seeking profit.

There are laws against scalping in many countries for good reasons.
If you look at the net of local affordability, access, and availability, the problem is widespread.

Housing has become a principle (and one of the largest) asset classes. The things that make it suitable for investing are precisely the same attributes that make it inaccessible, especially to the young, poor, old, and otherwise disadvantaged.

Flyover-state housing may be affordable by SF / New York / LA / Chicago standards. It's often not affordable to locals themselves.

And services (data, power, food, support, healthcare, education) are often far below standards typical on the coasts / near major metros.

A Tesco spokesperson said its garages had a system which allowed disabled drivers to contact a member of staff in the kiosk using a special key fob to call for assistance.

This used a short signal which came on briefly to alert staff that someone needed help. But at Clifton Moor this had become jammed on and had blocked the remote central locking and ignition frequencies used by some cars.
Myers Briggs is popular for the same reason astrology is popular. People like categorising personalities so they can generalise about behaviours and "understand" people better by associating them with a pigeon hole.

What is innovative about Myers Briggs is that it isn't limited like the horoscope by date of birth. If you want to be identified as a certain type, with Myers Briggs, all you have to do is answer the questions in a certain frame of mind. Contrast this agility with the rigidness of the horoscope, which requires the falsification of a birth certificate to change categories.
> I wish Apple would just make a TV.

But that would be a TV which you can't use to watch adult content. And Netflix and HBO would be 30% more expensive.
Do you run into the same issue with materialised views? Or does materialisation force mariadb to treat the view as a separate table? I'm also assuming that materialised views may not be useful for you due to update / synchronisation issues.
Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSD all (usually) run on Intel processors, so in theory it should be possible to write a program that runs on all three. However, despite ultimately using the same instruction sets, the four OSes use different formats to store metadata about the programs, and have different ways for programs to communicate with the operating system. Justine Tunney created two things:

1) Actually Portable Executables, a clever way of formatting a program so that all four OSes interpret it a valid program in their own format.

2) Cosmopolitan libc, a library for communicating with the OS that handles each OS's interface, allowing programs to work on all four.
It's interesting how DC goes from average performance on Switch to smooth 60 fps. I always wondered if it was related to Haxe and if it had home made Haxe optimization (Haxe dev is one of the original DC devs).

Switch is a constrained console and Haxe is dynamically typed. DC is a real world product with a long life (many updates and DLC). Any information about limitation/workaround it had to do would be very interesting to hear.

Aside, DC is a very interesting game.

Now I can see an important problem to solve. Innovation!
An anti-carbon tax? Or, anti-(carbon tax).
> HN is social media.

Strongly disagree.

Social media is where one shares ones social life (it's in the name!). HN, like many other sites dating back to the days of USENET, is a subject discussion forum; in HN case, a technical / IT discussion forum.

Granted, there are sometimes crossovers between the two, but HN certainy isn't one of them.
cookiecutter is great. I recently moved from click to typer, which I so far really have enjoyed. I probably should make a cc template for that one day...
There's something peaceful about people who know they're 'weird' compared to the masses, but really don't care. Finding confidence in who (and what) I am is really my goal in life.
Saying that, I'm not even that 'weird', I just always have thought about me from the perspective of others.
Most developers are underpaid. Then if people above them wear flashy suits, drive to work in sport cars or share pictures of their mansions, it's easy to then exploit the feeling of envy. Befriend a developer and then offer them good money for information - probably the simplest way.
I remember one day in primary school a teacher had us play a game where we had to propose things to take on vacation. People would call out a suggestion, and the teacher would say yes or no.

The aim of the game was to figure out the rule. She said no to 'novel' and 'money', but yes to 'book' and 'currency'.
I disagree they're straight-up ugly, but they're certainly cluttered, and I think there's a very simple reason for that:

IntelliJ (or VisualStudio, or Xcode, or anything in this class) is an expert tool. Expert tools can be insanely complex to use, and can have very steep learning curves, because the people who use them are willing and able to invest the time. In exchange, the tools assume that most users are going to want to customize the living daylights out of their tooling.

This means that really good IDEs like IntelliJ, Visual Studio, etc., can optimize for two separate extremes. On the one hand, it almost doesn't matter how cluttered they are, because experts are going to customize them to look exactly how they want anyway. On the other hand, they pack so much functionality that they face a very real problem of people not even knowing what's there in the first place. (E.g., did you know you can debug any browser's JavaScript directly from IntelliJ? I sure didn't until surprisingly recently, but apparently that's been there for quite some time.) So there's also a mode that displays all the things that the IDE can possibly do, and you're completely correct that that mode looks borderline unusable.

Honestly, as long as the clutter is done sanely, I'm okay with it. I frequently toggle between just-the-code and all-the-things when I'm in IntelliJ, and the recent No Distraction mode makes doing that a lot simpler. If I know a keyboard shortcut, awesome. If I don't, I have the shortcuts for all the panes hardwired, so at least I can quickly browse the 25 buttons that show up, immediately discard the 15 I recognize, and quickly find which of the remaining 10 actually does what I want. I'm not going to argue this is the most elegant or most efficient, but I'm not convinced it's a horrible trade-off, either.
> The devices generate about 1 volt of energy

Volts of energy. I’m disappointed by the quality of journalism these days.
Markets only exist within the context of a political system.
They are just a tool to reach a certain policy outcome. The idea of using the free market to replace poor governance is laughable.
It's the opposite. You have to set the right policies and incentives and only then will the free market show its true beauty. Markets fail or succeed because of improper or proper governance.

It's like a genetic/ML algorithm that is optimizing for a cost function. If your cost function is awful your algorithm will be awful but that's not an argument in favor of getting rid of cost functions entirely.
It the appearance of capitalism.
Ah I missed that bit in the paragraphs. Of all of the dumb herd behaviors brought out by the pandemic mask wearing the opposite.
So often here on HN, things like: Object Orient Programming is absolute garbage! LinkedIn is the Devils social network! Python has all these WTFs, why aren't we killing it in favor of Julia? Here I am, I found my job through LinkedIn, applied to places where my classmates ended up. That was nice. And I use classes in Python when it suits me and I even build stuff that people appreciate (how!?). Oh yeah, I also enjoyed Atlas Shrugged, take my Karma!
I know a guy who long ago gave up MacBooks for Chromebooks for development. He programs the systems that keep HVAC/large refrigeration systems running. He buys a new machine every year and his company pays for it. Cheap. His last Chromebook had 8 GB RAM and his current one 16. For all intents and purposes, it's faster than any Mac or PC that you would use for programming and the horsepower needed is on a remote server. He can never lose any code or other project notes, photos, since they, too, live in the cloud. Not for everyone, obviously.
appreciate your comments! (not that we mind the above discourse) - but you are totally right that we are doing VERY different things from the intense breathwork (e.g. rebirthings, Gof, etc) you noted. A big reason we created Chorus was because those forms of breathwork were too intense for us, and certainly too intense to do more than, say every 3 months. So Chorus is a much more approachable and dialed down practice that you can do to unlock a daily mindfulness habit.
More often than not people that do a thing like this are deluding themselves. I've seen this in founders too.

Outright fraud is at least 10 times rarer than self delusion by my quick tally over 14 years of looking at companies, I don't see any reason why the academic world would be substantially different.

The range goes all the way from 'wouldn't it be nice if 'x' existed, so what does it matter if I have to fake it for a bit' to people who refuse to believe they are wrong right up until the debt collectors arrive and the whole thing falls apart. Fraud and self delusion are two completely different things and you shouldn't conflate them like that.
You're absolutely right - there is much more CO2 in the sky than what the global CO2 markets can absorb. For scale: the US CO2 market consumes ~64M tons per year of CO2 [1]. We need to be capturing at least 1B tons per year of CO2 to get to net-neutral [2].

Carbon capture for resale is only our first step — our "Tesla Roadster" if you will. It's the thing that gets us the capital to build the harder stuff. On a 10-year scale, our roadmap looks like this:

1. Capture CO2 for re-sale
2. Sequester CO2 using geologic storage and other techniques such as mineralization
3. Utilize CO2 via conversion to other useful products

Each step gets progressively harder, but has a progressively higher impact on reducing emissions than the one before. When we do our jobs well, we will have saturated the CO2 market with reclaimed CO2, developed multiple sequestration pathways and projects, and developed clean conversion pathways for CO2 utilization.

Bots. Spam ruins it for everyone. Cloudflare, for example, provide an analytics platform based off of logs, but it overreports visits by a huge amount for most cases because javascript is a good filter for most bots.

Here's Cloudflare's page on why there is a discrepancy between their numbers and GA-type services: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/36003768411...

And here's a blog post by a self-hosted-analytics provider who shows exact numbers from his personal blog: https://markosaric.com/cloudflare-analytics-review/

He has a stake in the matter, but it's also such a huge discrepancy that I'm guessing is hard to fake. Anecdotally, friends I have with small blogs mirror this experience.
It's not valid.
I am not sure how to help but from my own experience most of the Portuguese devs I know got tired of working low-salaries on mostly near-shore outsourcing teams and moved to London, Berlin, Geneve, Zurich, Amsterdam (more or less in that order).

You could try reaching out to devs in those cities, I am sure many would be more than willing to move back home for the right price.
Yeah, it seems the reason he mentions YAML specifically is because it has become highly used for these "build script"-like "config files".
I am Portuguese and line in London and I can tell you that you can find quote terrible housing in London too. When I am looking at does like Zoopla, Rightmove... I need to filter out 90% of the results. From lack of basic appliances, to almost no windows, miniscule studios, badly maintained Victoria era houses, lack of modern buildings... You just need to pay more to get what you want, don't expect good quality when you go for the low end of the market.

I agree thermal isolation is a bigger issue in Portugal though. Because really cold days are not that common, old constructions don't have proper isolation and rely on inneficient heating. In the UK however you have the opposite problem where almost no apartment is ready for warm days. A flat with air conditioning is a rarity. Last summer a friend of mine moved with his kids to a hotel for a week during the heat wave just because of this.
30 years ago when most literature was either published recently (newspapers, magazines, etc), or the date of publication was mostly irrelevant (books), your argument makes sense. If you cared at all, what mattered was usually the month and day.

For most of the literature people read in the 21st century, especially this past decade, the year is the most important part. People normally couldn't care less whether something was published 3 days ago or 3 months ago. But knowing whether it was published 3 years ago makes all the difference in the world to its relevancy.
Since I can't upvote your Show HN twice, I'll upvote this comment. I learned something interesting tonight from your websites. Thanks!

chibicc is a really fun idea! If I was in college, I would take a compiler course from you.

Taken from your README:

"chibicc is developed as the reference implementation for a book I'm currently writing about the C compiler and the low-level programming. The book covers the vast topic with an incremental approach; in the first chapter, readers will implement a "compiler" that accepts just a single number as a "language", which will then gain one feature at a time in each section of the book until the language that the compiler accepts matches what the C11 spec specifies. I took this incremental approach from the paper by Abdulaziz Ghuloum."
Rather than conjuring up this strawman, maybe you should just reply to the one single comment that even comes close to the stance you are describing.
Ah yes. The Moviepass model.
Most of these could have been a success but google has no idea how to connect with customers. An idea and a product is what we have. If customers accidently start using the product and it becomes a success it stays but if it doesn't meet some corporate goal it gets killed see g+(first they pushed it everywhere making everyone hate it, the moment groups of people started using it google saw it would never reach facebook and killed it. If they would have left it could have pivoted).

I don't know what many of these products are either. Cloud VR cloud, but it doesn't sound like something I would shutdown maybe sell.. maybe rethink.
