Certain people on HN might find themselves interested in various aspects of technology, business, or other things that frequent here - but we're all human, and I think Gene Wilder, in life and in death, is someone to note and celebrate, as a human.
I wonder if Pinboard - the regular website - would work for this. I've never tried it, but since it's such a plain no-frills HTML page, there's a change it would look good on a Kindle. (And probably have good perf too - no oodles of JavaScript to execute)
Humans involved with technology also sometimes have favorite actors.
I think what happens in automotive designs, which are not always penned with the same attention to aerodynamics as aerospace designs, is that they often have unintentional lift at the rear. Adding a small spoiler, then, doesn't add actual downforce, it just reduces lift -- and therefore reduces drag into the bargain.
In the northeast US almost every car I've owned has ultimately been retired predominantly due to rust. The car I now own with 160K miles I haven't driven in the winter for a number of years and the mechanics at the dealer are always surprised that I have this model (which I bought in its final model year) on the road and that it hasn't rusted out.

It is 20 years old and things are still improving but rust as a limiting factor on lifetimes in the winter.

That's exactly what I wanted to demonstrate. You say nothing when Christians are attacked, because (you believe) Muslims have it worse. Yet, Muslims have all leftish French people on their side.

> do you realize it's a reflection of the anti-muslim sentiment everywhere right now?

I didn't have an opinion on Muslims until a guy raped my goddaughter. Turns out he was Muslim. Bad luck for Muslims! Bad luck, really. Bad luck, or was it because she's the white child of French people? Is it his way to do djihad, at his level? Why would he djihad against me, while I was giving him free programming lessons so he could get a good job and avoid discrimination when he grows up? or is it just bad education from his parents? It echoed very hard with the Köln events. Is rape about bad education on a massive scale? Is it due to poverty, religion or simply traditions?

The answers don't matter. I've done my share. Muslims aren't as peaceful as you depict them. They don't clearly reject terrorism. A lot of them are hateful against France. If you don't acknowledge that, you're naive. There are few exits. Either they restore trust by participating positively to society, either we vote more and more extremist, have riots and racism and France will be in flames at the end of 2017.

What's more, if Muslims rejected extremism, would it be smart to buy a burkini today?

there would be a 0.7 V drop across the diode so then the system voltage would be 12-9.8V instead of 12.7 to 10.5 (taking 10.5 as the voltage at which your batteries are well and truly dead)

I've used diodes [0] to isolate redundant power supplies, but we turn up the voltage on the power supply to compensate.

However other than redundant applications I've never isolated batteries. I've just googled this and mostly found posts recommending not to use diodes and one that didn't comment on whether or not cross-discharging was actually a problem, but said not to use a diode but to use a mosfet[1]. It generally doesn't appear to be a problem for most people.

The most interesting part of the blog post for me was the eye opener for the author; 200 W of solar and 250 Ah of battery isn't enough to run a computer day in and day out. I would have gone for something like 1200 A-h of battery but not lead-acid, as well as added an AC powered battery charger so I could plug in.

I don't know if you've seen Elon's last announcement, but that is basically exactly what Tesla is planning to do with the Model 3.

Sell the car and let people loan it out to an autonomous fleet with the app. Tesla would also have its own fleet for cities without enough Tesla owners.

This would allow people who could otherwise not afford a 35k electric car (before incentives) to buy one and is the reason he doesn't think it'll be necessary to build another cheaper version.
This calculus changes if you assign a cost to storing possessions.

If there's no cost, great. Keep everything. If there is a cost, that once-a-year item might not make the cut.

I really dig Maquette. The library is easy to use, the documentation is good, and the interactive examples make it really easy to get running.

The Hyperscript notation Maquette uses is compatible with other vDOM implementations, so it's possible to use JSX [1], Jade/Pug [2], Handlebars, or any other templating solution that compiles to Hyperscript [3].

I personally prefer really "dumb" views and have my controllers attach events and link model data. Thanks to the modular design of Maquette, instead of the Maquette `createRender()` pattern I was able to use SpineJS for the Model and Controller portions of the app.

I used Maquette recently to create an API and Web UI for Bull job queue, which I'll be releasing this week as open-source. I did not run into any bugs or difficulties in Maquette, it was as efficient and straightforward as advertised.

Previously I've used Templatizer (precompiled Jade templates), but Maquette's feature to map and track lists of objects/elements spurred me to change. I'm sold on it for now but really appreciate the thriving competition of vDOM renderers.

I'm not really against it, even. I think it is fine. Some of those tiny homes are really nice, or inspiring, or liberating. I really appreciate hand-made things, especially ambitious projects like homes. And I definitely appreciate the frugal builds.

But when you're buying it pre-built, it's just a tiny, expensive mobile home.

If they catch on enough, they'll build them cheaper and more efficiently, and we'll have smaller versions of normal mobile homes, with aluminum siding and all.

I'm all for it, personally--there's no reason for the dream of home-ownership to be expensive.
The Rocket (the machine in this account) is at London's Science Museum, South Kensington, in the same large room/hall as a jet-powered Rover car, an Apple I and a Cray I and a very early form of an ECG machine (no I don't know why either - seemed to be running out of space on the ground floor).

Interestingly Manchester's Science Museum which is run by the same group is built around the World's first train station from which the Rocket served passengers to and from Liverpool.

>Edit: I just saw your comment about O. I think O might just work! So instead of remembering big-O, Theta, and Omega, I can just use

> O(f) <= O(g) for f is O(g)
> O(f) = O(g) for f is Theta(g)
> O(f) >= O(g) for f is Omega(g)

>Is that true?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that will work (haven't checked it very rigorously though). The definition of O(f) <= O(g) would simply be O(f) \subset O(g), which immediately satisfies almost all criteria (only tricky bit is proving that either O(f) is a subset of O(g) or the other way around).

For little o I think you should be able to use O(f) < O(g), using the ordering defined above.
This is really cool, but my brain keeps getting stuck on the word choice. Every time I see the `literally` keyword, I hear a teenage, valley girl accent in my head.

There are these things called markets. I don't expect this particular scenario to happen anytime soon. But I pretty much guarantee that if I can buy $OBJECT in a competitive market and rent it out for some ridiculous rate of return in a competitive market, competition for that renting will drive down prices until it's not a ridiculous rate of return any longer.
You could run this query crudely on CrunchBase, I think on the free dev tier.

Chromecast is available on iOS and the web, not just Android, ie any third-party iOS developer - not just Google - can support Chromecast.

...social taboo

When I've lived in mobile homes, I've found them to be substandard in various ways. One might be prepared to accept that in exchange for their advantages, but if not it seems perfectly rational to seek other solutions with different trade-offs. E.g., most mobile homes are over 70' long, while tiny houses are much shorter.
> There are certain goals that are incompatible with accepting funding, such as: operating a lifestyle business, not reporting to anyone, freedom etc. I am not sure what's so difficult to understand about that.

Nothing wrong with it at all; but keep in mind you are posting on the message boards of an organization (YCombinator) that is deeply invested in the Silicon Valley venture ecosystem. The "growth at all costs" mentality is bound to be quite prevalent among the posters on here as a result. It's just the audience that HN draws.

Clearly, supply and demand are out of whack - there is too much capital ready to produce stuff, and not enough consumer cash to buy all that which can be produced.

And yet central banks keep pumping money into the supply side. It boggles the mind. Why? Why not pump the money into the demand side?

The difference is that the industrial revolution amplified labor, while AI actually replaces it in many cases. AI + human is less productive than AI sans human. It's not just a difference in magnitude, but one of sign.

Cheaper labor elsewhere does not obsolete labor itself, it merely implies repricing or arbitrage.

It doesn't really matter how hard the labor market is hit, once it is already dead.

Means tested welfare fosters dependency, crime and generational poverty, and implies support of a vast administration and enforcement apparatus. It is used as a coercive stick to compel behaviors, and often those behaviors are harmful to the individual recipient - e.g. families that go fatherless, to protect AFDC.

Not really. I'm more of a backend developer, but around the time it went beta (early 2016) I felt it was a good time to be ahead of the curve. So I started learning it with no Angular 1 experience. I've followed it through the betas and RCs.

I recently picked up Angular 1 just because it seemed like a good idea (I often mentor others), not because Angular 2 wasn't in a good state. (If I had to do a project today, I'd probably go with v1, just because the ecosystem feels richer)
Yeah but Tesla. Tech startup. Wooo disruptive and wonderful.

The eighties are about when that Ireland tax heaven thing began..

Notice that these jobs were always mandatory part of the tax breaks. They'll likely disappear with the tax break, given that Ireland has since dramatically elevated it's living standard on the basis of low corporate tax (and special tax) and wages are no longer competitive for something like support jobs.
It's ideology. That would be "giving handouts" to "lazy people," etc.

Oddly enough the strongest support base for this ideology is among those who would benefit from pumping the demand side the most. Many of the wealthier people I've talked to or who I've heard speak on the subject seem to get that we are in a demand-constrained economy.

IMHO it emerges from the fact that human beings are genetically programmed for scarcity. When we feel threatened we tend to respond by pushing for others to have less. "I'm poor, so you should be poorer." Our emotional and social brains simply do not compute abundance and definitely do not compute large-scale economics.
When "cash" is mentioned in the context of selling a company, it means it was a straight money payment as opposed to "stock" ownership.

For example, when Instagram was sold to Facebook, the founders got some "cash" but most of the 1 $billion payment was in the form of "Facebook stock" that vests over some set # of years and/or has restrictions from selling it immediately.

And yes, the "cash" portion of a huge multi-million dollar transaction would be a bank wire.

Context of buying companies: pay by "cash" or "stock"

Context of buying groceries: pay by "cash" or "check" or "credit card"

Agreed, you'd have to fire string input rates, and defer the underlying update until either enough buffer has entered to warrant a mid-point sync, or input has paused for a decent length of time. (say 10s)

For 'hardened' browsers I'd recommend a visual indication of this timeout (a pie chart which completes like a clock at a fixed rate while paused is the first concept that I think of).

The thing is, if you're using a VDOM, you'll probably want the other stuff Mithril's got anyways. And the tight integration with the vdom renderer helps make sure that rerenders happen only when something actually changes, and that partial states don't render. For 3 megs, I'll take it.

It's too bad no one archived that blog post about how to get by without sleeping. It was very personal, and very stupid.

If you have physical access it's game over.

FireWire had this issue, so did express card, heck even if you don't have TB, express card or any other PCIe external interface.

Open the laptop and either find an empty microPCIe slot or pull out the wireless card there is some risk of a BSOD but it works in many cases and voila you have DMA.

That said bot Intel and AMD do have ways of encrypting memory regions which can prevent DMA attacks.

Windows 10 has DMA port protection which enables the OS to restrict DMA access from external ports this is available from build 1507 but I'm not sure if it's enabled by default.

Edit: looks like this is enabled by default when Bitlocker is enabled on recent builds.
