Most attempts I've seen have been on the very small size (netbook-like), so there should be room up from there? Given how many "traditionally shaped" laptops are still sold I'm not sure the demand for lighter and thinner actually affects attempts at open-source ones, especially since initial adopters are going to be compromising anyways.
It's almost as if doing something that is generally proven to be unhealthy is unhealthy?

Taking drugs is not a crime.
I think, these are just argument why this isn't a good fit for you.

However it's not really a good argument that this is a bad thing in every use case. Calling this a "bad" laptop when the only other laptop that's open to this degree that I'm aware of is bunnie's novena seems a bit silly.

Building on an established design is going to be far easier than bringing up a new PCB. I'd estimate you could get prototypes of this board (6 layer) made for <<1000USD.

If I needed embedded compute, for an instrument I was designing for low volume manufacture I'd consider these boards. If nothing else, I could probably get them fabbed myself if necessary/desirable.

I can see many use cases like this. As well as the fact that some users just philosophically prefer computers whose design is as open as possible.

I'm also not a fan of the douse leafy greens in vinegar so common in the south. With the right proportions it can be okay, but typically people put too much vinegar.
The CDC and ODPHP (US agency that sets dietary guidelines) do not recommend non-drinkers start drinking moderately, which is in line with the research which shows no health benefit to drinking alcohol. It's a bit scary how research+media+people's love of alcohol work together to spread the fiction of alcohol health benefits.

I second randlet's and aetherson's posts.

A warning ( and possible reason to _never_ drink): some who have a tendency toward alcoholism may enjoy drinking much more than the rest of us. Some alcoholic authors' descriptions of the allure of alcohol are quite striking.

My experience: one drink relaxes me - more makes me ill. I enjoy a drink in social company. My linguistic faculty (esp. foreign languages)(no pun intended) _seem_ to improve under the influence, but maybe that's the liquor speaking! I like many of the sayings associated with social drinking, e.g.,

"In vino veritas!"
Isn't this a given though...? Exercise and eating right will improve outcomes no matter what genetics you have.

Unadjusted looks correct for me in Chrome and Firefox in Fedora. I have an nvidia card so I'm not using Wayland, I'm not sure if that would make a difference.
Furthermore, as with high-speed rail but to an even greater degree, there are a lot of people who are enthusiastic about the idea but wouldn't actually be customers. If you don't routinely fly first/business class between New York and London today, you wouldn't fly a supersonic plane if one were available.
So fundamentally what the author is saying is that this laptop is bad is a way that it was never meant to be good. And that's what makes the title click bait because the author is clearly aware of this.

Clearly it was never meant to be as good as a MacBook Pro.

It was meant to be good as an open source laptop (which it is, as one of the few open laptop designs that exists).
Ask HN: How do you draft the usage terms and conditions for a side project?
I'm working a side project that would probably earn me some money. I've seen most of such "indie" projects having some sort of "terms and conditions" page. While I know that most companies would hire a lawyer to draft these, I'm not sure what's best for me.
We trace every server request with it, across all stages of the request—approx. 10-12 events/timestamps per request—across multiple processes (think Zipkin). The per-request event streams are independent "trails" per process, and then we merge them together later and compute aggregated metrics using hdr_histogram.

Individual events are typically hundreds to thousands of nanoseconds long, with about 20 nanoseconds of overhead to grab a timestamp using the rdtscp instruction.

Hope that helps!

It seems like Darren (Dazza, to his mates) knew what he was doing. But the second example is more reasonable. A guy, trying to share with a few mates, doesn't realise it's public (google hangouts can be confusing when sharing, could easily lead to making it public instead), suddenly 100,000 people are watching.

Yes, it's illegal either way. But the intent is very different. With the role technology plays in our lives now this use case (a few friends) it's more akin to inviting those mates to physically attend the viewing, in which no law was broken.

Looks like Dazza needs a few more mates: https://www.gofundme.com/9rp4a2-legal-cost

I don't think growth at the expense of some of your most dedicated users is a viable strategy for Mozilla.

It certainly seems to be biting Apple (ala. Mac Pro 2016 alienating long-time Mac users), so what possible hope does Mozilla have taking that tack? They're already on pretty shaky ground user-wise from what I've seen. Why not make a better browser with the help of your existing loyal base in such a way that allows you to retain them while also allowing you to attract new users?

Do using good technology + retaining power users need to be mutually exclusive?

I was convinced mankind would never ever allow anything to happen again that could lead to what happened in the late 30s.

5 small cups... i don't think it's excess.

That sounds like a lot of vodka, especially for a first-time drinker! Depending on the size of the cup, that was likely at least 5 drinks, and likely more (1 drink of spirits is usually less than you think, and almost always less than what you see poured on TV).

Given that it is also easier to drink liquor faster than something like beer, you likely had quite a bit of alcohol in a pretty short time. I'd be sick, too.

> Americans are more afraid of terrorism than they are of guns, despite the fact that guns are 3,210 times more likely to kill them

Er, that's not really how probability works. Sure, it makes some sense but as was pointed out, most of those people shot themselves. Since I don't intend on shooting myself, the probability of me being shot is immediately a fraction of the number quoted in the article.

I'm not afraid of guns because I have the privilege of living in a safe area. I'm a lot more scared of the immediate threats to my well-being, which seem to be distracted drivers [0] and slipping on ice [1].

Admittedly I closed the article after this butchering of statistics, so I don't know if the rest of the article is as misguided.

[0] - There have been several instances where I walked out into a crosswalk but stopped because I could see a car approaching but not slowing down, with the driver staring at their lap.

[1] - I live in Ohio. It snows a lot, but people don't shovel their sidewalks. People walk on the snow and compress it into ice (combined with freezing temps at night) which can persist for a week.

Suborbital flights require almost as much velocity if you actually want to go anywhere.

Hopping up into space, and then back down to where you came from is only ~1,600 m/s.

I agree that systemic exploitation by carving out an unfair advantage is a bad thing and that it happens frequently right now. I talked about it in another comment in this thread. [0]

However, even if we agree that someone's gains were based on unfair rules, that's not justification for pilfering a family's nest egg. If we allowed them to accrue that money legally, it's theirs, and we just need to correct the loopholes and move on.

Dismantling the free markets and systems of exchange enabled by private property only results in shifting every advantage to a tiny centralized core (usually government ministers, bureaucrats, and their families and staffs) who quickly grow rich while 90%+ of the population becomes impoverished. It is simply not possible for any government to produce a sufficient central plan, no matter how well-meaning or knowledgeable the planners. The world's natural chaos doesn't allow for it.

We saw this tried many times in the 20th century and there's not one success story to come out of it. People must be free to make their own price and value judgments in an organic marketplace because it's the only thing that can adapt quickly enough to the real world, and the only thing that actually provides some advantage resilience to keep a dishonest, exploitative pirate class from pillaging the economy with stunning rapidity. Ask yourself why this clear fact is often misrepresented as its polar opposite, and consider the interests of the propagandists with reference to that misrepresentation.

There is too much inequality today. We should work to fix that, but no one seems interested in paying attention to the details that are necessary to do so because the propagandists are too busy whipping them into a frenzy about the need to confiscate the assets of the 1% and transfer control of that money to their friends in the government.

Imagine that you're on an H1-B visa. If you utter the phrase you've suggested, you could be fired on the spot and have until the end on the day to leave the country.

Having lived in Baltimore for 7 years, I was far more afraid of crossing the street than guns per se as the violent crime was fairly localized until about a year before I moved. That said, guns ranked far higher than terrorism, which is basically down at the bottom of my list with bears and being crushed by vending machines.
Factually, I don't see how that is possible.

Ask HN: Is it advisable to register a company to run side projects?
I'm new to running potentially income generating independent side projects. I have a day job and don't plan on running my side side project as a company full time. However, I have observed that most hackers run their side projects under an umbrella company of some sort. I wanted to know if it is worth paying incorporation and paperwork fees to layers for this. Further, in the scenario that registering a company is a better choice, what are the options available to make this process easier. So far, I'm thinking along the lines of using Clerky. Are they any good ?
>Hypothetically, capitalism and meritocracy work because people who provide societal value are rewarded.

Robocode is very interesting if you want to learn AI programming in Java.

I don't know about that, or about the conflict between Amos and Danny, but

"Amos wrote an article, addressed directly to economists, to repair technical flaws in prospect theory. "Advances in Prospect Theory," it was called, and though Amos did much of the work on it with his graduate student Rich Gonzalez, it ran as a journal article by Danny and Amos. "Amos said that it had always been Kahneman and Tversky, and that this had to be Kahneman and Tversky, and that it would be really strange to add a third person to it," said Gonzalez."

...would piss the crap out of me, if I were the student.

Edit: Reading more about them,my perception is that Amos was like the "rock star" programmer who can do great things, but who is impossible to work with.

Ask HN: What would need to be built to replace current federal institutions?
I know this is a big question with a lot of different answers but I'm curious to hear what the Hacker News community thinks about it.

I've been thinking a lot about this in general but since the 2016 US Presidential Election, it seems like now would be a better time than ever to think about what it might take to replace the current institutions traditionally supported by the federal government. There are a lot of reasons for having the various federal institutions (i.e. the tragedy of the commons, help those otherwise marginalized etc.) and they take a lot to run but how might they be built if they could be built starting from scratch with the tools available today? How much could be done through technology? How much couldn't? Would the states be the best place to take up the slack? Or would private institutions be better?

Curious to hear what people think...
Iambic Keying – Debunking the Myth [pdf]
There's no point to be made: it's just a question. Though, your logic doesn't seem to make sense to me: would you encourage people to try everything to find out for themselves as opposed to asking people who've tried it before? That sounds like a recipe for disaster.
I'm going to have to disagree. I grew up on a farm, and yes, outdoors on a calm day, you can hear jets flying over at 30000'. But, it is very quiet: easily drowned out by wind rustling in the trees and such. I would be very surprised if you heard it indoors. Perhaps, with a window open, but even then it will be drowned out by things like the refrigerator running. Frankly, it may have woken you up because it was an unfamiliar sound, but certainly not because it was loud. Either that, or the airplane you are complaining about is at significantly lower altitude than you imagine.
I don't want 3rd party repositories to manage. To do it properly I have to (in the case of Debian) trust some MS team's signing keys (yuck), add the repo and update my apt-pinning rules (I don't want apt accidentally installing MS versions of tools) and integrate this in my dev OS build automation.

That vs. adding a single line in my list of selected packages. The price to adoption is high and it's just not worth it to me, especially seeing how immature the tooling and overall ecosystem is.

I can tell you exactly when the threshold was crossed for me. I'm pretty removed from the tech industry but many of my friends are in tech so I try to keep up. One day, I was searching for a photo of a jacket that I wanted to sell on eBay. Google images led me to a site called Tradesy which had a stock photo of the jacket. I clicked on it, it led me to an unrelated photo, so I clicked out of it. Immediately, I received an email in my personal/professional email box (not the email I use for website registration/spam/etc) inviting me to use Tradesy. To this day I have no idea how Tradesy or Criteo (who sent the email) got my personal email address from the simple act of my browsing to one page. An email I never enter anywhere, EVER. The violation I felt was so intense, I installed an additional ad blocker and blocked Tradesy. I have no idea if that helped but that was my moment.
In a bar in Britain, 5 single vodkas (35ml each) is half the maximum recommended weekly consumption of alcohol. One additional vodka takes you over the official amount for "binge drinking", drinking a lot in a short period in order to get drunk -- and that's for someone who probably consumes alcohol regularly.

Measures poured at someone's home tend to be more than 35ml.
It's not even so much TSA--getting through security in the US only takes me 5-10 minutes typically with Pre-Check. But I hate to feel like I'm rushing so I do build in buffer. I have to get to the gateway city (which is almost never Boston), with a reasonable allowance between flights. I'm an hour to the airport. Clearing immigration/customs can take a while. Getting into an Asian capitol from the airport can easily be another hour.

As you say, even cutting out 5 to 6 hours isn't that big a deal.
American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

Just because I needed a bit of fun fiction to break up all the non-fiction. And because it (perhaps accidentally) says something interesting about the gods of a land of immigrants and future-philes.
Probably because we use guns to "defend" and express our freedom and terrorism only attacks our freedoms.

No one ever says "hey, I want to be a terrorist." Instead they're using their violence to support a personal righteous cause. Terrorism happens to people - it's not something people do.
>How do you feel about collective bargaining in general?

Call collective bargaining what it is, state-sanctioned extortion. "Give us X or we'll walk out. No, you can't hire a replacement either." Imagine if your auto mechanic or doctor or plumber could to this to you.

Not that it isn't necessarily justified; seeing the working conditions at, for example, Amazon's warehouses improved more than warrants it. But let's not pretend it's something it's not.

>...this founder doesn't provide any equity to 80% of his/her employees who helped build the company? What should they do then?
