It'd make sense that non-interactive mass media such as a radio broadcast would be less prone to the filter-bubble effect. For one, it's not personalized (other than you picking the station). For two, the fact that most listeners can't respond means that there's no tight feedback loop reinforcing and amplifying the demographic's positions.
That makes me want to check it out more.

Obituary by Christopher Priest.

IIRC Priest and Aldiss were friends.
I'd like to second the "not it time" thought. Let's say some government agency needs 1K of these parts. Some company can find ten lots of 100 from all over the place including one in Shenzen. They put them all in nice tubes or trays or whatever and sell them off to the customer, who, a year or two later, wonders why 10% of their boards are failing initial power-on tests. Or, even worse, the parts are similar enough that the board passes some tests, and they don't fail hard until they're in the field...
I agree with these suggestions. Perhaps, I would add the little knowledge about Chinese legislation and the market, which is quite different from other parts of the world. But I think it would be interesting, thinking strategically, YC attracts more Chinese and thus better know the market.
Effectively, Dedicated Instances are an Affinity policy. You're looking for an Anti-Affinity policy, which isn't common. Here's an article about Affinity and Anti-Affinity on OpenStack:

Priest, like Aldiss, is a favourite writer of mine. I especially enjoyed reading Inverted World as a teenager.
Should I focus on a specific category of a niche or broaden out?
Basically, I wan't to provide a service similar to "Milotree". They allow you to add a slide-out to your website displaying your social media. In all honestly I feel like I could execute their idea much better. What has me torn is they focus on mainly saying they help social media which I like, but I also want to provide a lot to my customer, sites like "GetSiteControl" offer kind of the same thing as Milotree only for on 'site widegets'. Should I stick to a simple route and advertise like "Milotree" where I say we are specifically made for advertising social media on your site from just a simple slideout, or should I add more features like side slideouts, banners, and opt-ins. I just feel like all those options will confuse my interested niche.
Java is too constrained by its OO straightjacket to be truly innovative. The brilliance of Jetbrains should not be underestimated. With Kotlin they've liberated Java development form its obsession with classes and produced a sufficiently FP alternative which yet retains full Java interop. No mean feat.

I love LaTex. Writing without thinking about formatting and get marvelous looking documents is kind of magic. You use any excuse just to put some math in your documents. I've stopped using it due to 2 reasons:

1) Tables are hard. There must be a more visual way do layout a table.

2) All your documents look like a scientific paper. It doesn't have beautiful styles which you can include and have a completely different layout. Like you can do with Word templates.

Does LaTex improved in the last ten years? Or we all must be content with markdown?
> Do not use Data::Tersify as part of any serialisation implementation.

That was thoughtful.
It certainly can, however OTA radio is very localized - to the city usually, by tradition - so it wouldn't make much sense to build such a network.

NPR is probably the only radio network that could do a common band cross country, but even then, NPR just syndicates itself to other stations so it's not really in their interest to do so.
I'm not sure, I just think that there is too much empty space. The letters of the actual written content could be a little bigger if the blank space was reduced.

So, can't you set up your own cookies on users when redirecting them, so you can filter later?

Ok, but really keep up with the Google Analytics approach and try to make data presentation better. If you manage to find out a way to do it without GA than it will be a different service, which you could run in parallel.

In the US, yes.

In many other places you can get lots of channels that exist over entire countries, and actually support this kind of automated handover.
In Canada CBC Radio is the public broadcaster sort of a cross between the BBC and NPR.

There are multiple stations from coast to coast and I think a person could hop from one to the other but it would have to be done manually not automatically. Quebec may be the wildcard but there may be a CBC English station there too, I think?

I drove quite a bit when I was in my teens and 20s when I worked for a coin-op video game/grey area slot machines. You get tired listening to music even if you like it at first your favourite song ten times in a row is ugh. But interesting talk radio is better it's food for the mind.

Now with satellite and the Internet it's different. It was such a subtle change I don't think it was noticed how radio died and was replaced by the Internet and satellite radio.
huh .. I always suspected Fuchsia/Magenta were going to be a basis for Android going forward to get around the fragmentation situation. They still could be in the future, since no one is really sure what they're being developed for.
The original plan for HAMMER2 included multi-master synchronous replication. I don't know if that's still on the roadmap, or if something less ambitious is planned.

IIRC, years ago Dillon sold some proprietary synchronous multi-master replication product that provided ACID guarantees while also being relatively performant. (Because synchronous multi-master had historically been quite slow.) I always thought HAMMER2's replication model was going to be an evolution of that tech.
If you hear of someone opening their Life cereal and finding a rat inside it from the factory, you're less likely to buy Life cereal, aren't you?

I don't suppose you know if similar things are true for Int arrays? I think I once had a similar case there, where I was doing integer operations on a large set of ints, and regular arrays were faster than Int32. But it's hard to imagine there as well what the slowdown would be.
I agree with a lot of these bullets just as general design principles, and emphatic +1 to not hand-optimizing.

Just noticed this comment after posting https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15069116, which is specific to V8 but which I'd guess holds for other JS engines too. Relevant excerpt:

"""
...in just about every case, the real answer is "it depends". That's why V8 is ~1,000,000 lines of code, not 1,000.

Please don't try to follow some rule blindly, much less derive. More often than not, when you try to hand-tune for the last bit of performance, you'll actually trigger something that was introduced to streamline the other [95% of] cases/JS devs' code, and then you've spent hours on making your code less readable with no benefit.

There is no "Try This One Crazy Trick To Make Your JavaScript Fast!!!" (or even ten!)

(And for the specific case of preallocation vs. growing as you go, right now, in most cases, the difference is negligible. In the others, it depends.)

I don't add any cookies. What I do is that I add Google Analytics tags, for example if you select the page /home and /home2 I'll split the users between /home?utm_campaign=AbTest&medium=a&utm_keyword=abcd and /home2?utm_campaign=AbTest&medium=b&utm_keyword=abcd (or something like this). So then I can filter the results and show you exactly the conversion, bounce-rate, exit-rate and all those metrics for that precise test. Does it makes sense?

I think my messages is still a bit unclear. I'll work more on the landing page.

From a Rails perspective...

Vue doesn't require nodejs to follow along with the examples

Vue doesn't prescribe to me how I should write my markup (beyond Angular-style attributes) or force me to violate separation-of-concerns.

Vue doesn't require it's stuff to be stored in $ROOT/app/assets/javascript/components, when all the rest of my code lives in $ROOT/app/whatever

Vue doesn't (or didn't) prescribe all these stupid little companion addons to do things I learned how to do (and do better) years ago

Vue doesn't give me a shitty markup language (JSX -- class vs className? Fuck off!) or even worse alternatives (its super verbose JS-DOM alternative) if I don't want (or can't) use it

Vue doesn't have nearly as large of an obnoxious, inexperienced, harebrained, and cloud-huffing crowd that will argue with me when I express distaste in it

Hey hey, another New Hampshire native!

It also helps that, depending on where you live, NHPR is the most entertaining programming available. The Exchange is a very high quality current events show, and the host is incredibly good at her job. I would listen to that when traveling up to PSU for school during my senior year.

If you find yourself north of Tilton, NH, you're not going to have much choice in radio programming. Unless, that is, you enjoy country or Christian radio.
I tried fish for a while some years ago, and left it when I noticed that its pipes were fake. Second command in a pipeline couldn't read any input until first command finished running. That made it useless for things like `strace ... | grep ...`. Trying it now, it seems they've fixed that.

I remember that I was interested in it for its multiline command formatting and history. Since then, though, I've learned that zsh also has support for multiline command history, and its vi keybindings support multiline editing for a single command. It's like every command line is a little multiline vi buffer. For this reason, I've chosen my prompt so that the command starts at the first column.
I'm not asking you to take my word for it, I'm suggesting you test it yourself using your typical use case.

Yes, they still need coke, but much if not all of that demand can be met by oil refineries. Even if the steel industry got all its coke from coal that would be a pretty small percentage of the coal market.
Another point of view is you don't need an update if you bought a galaxy S8. It already has everything important and many more features. In fact, S7 actually regressed by updating to N. The multi window feature was perfectly stable and feature rich and most apps supported it. Google forced Samsung to replace it with their rudimentary implementation. Now it lacks features, is much slower, full of glitches and even after one year there are fewer apps that support it. At this point I'd rather Samsung keep sending monthly security updates and forgo on Google's OS update altogether.

It is interesting that one of the earlier pop uses of "virtue signaling" was on LessWrong, and hence fairly apolitical [A]. But it seems to have been mostly used by the right. If one was to see a lot of leftist groups calling freedom of speech protesters or statue protectors "virtue signalers", then the phrase would indeed retain its original apolitical, universal nature. The article also gives some interesting analysis about how the original term has semantically drifted over the years to become watered down in meaning- at least according to Sam Bowman.

There's a good article (the Wikipedia article and sources have most of it) around somewhere about the meeting of Captain Crunch and Joybubbles, who was blind and had perfect pitch. And how they altered the Captain Crunch toy by drilling a hole in it then when the phone system went digital they created the blue box.

Some of the stories how they could cause a telephone to go live and listen in to people at home. Virtual meeting rooms party line where phone phreaks from all over the US would meet.

It's amazing stuff. Worthy of a movie.

> At that point someone might as well get a programmable cartridge and insert one's own memory cards.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what some of the fake carts are. I ordered an X-in-1 card for DS recently (haven't seen one since the OG GameBoy days and was curious), and it was just a generic DS flashcart with a QA sticker covering the SD slot. Same seller was selling a bunch of single DS games without box and suspiciously cheap, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were essentially the same thing.
I was thinking along similar lines, like some kind of reinforcement learning model that penalized lines that seem ugly to humans... but probably hard to get enough humans looking at enough code.
Paul Graham would probably say to focus on the niche first. For the reasoning, see his essay on how to get startup ideas[1] (the section titled "Well"). He calls it Buchheit's Rule[2]: "It's better to make a few people really love you than a lot kind of like you."

On a serious note, Samsung is so far ahead of every other manufacturer (including Google) I wonder why people buy anything else. For me, whenever I need to buy a new phone, there are two options to consider: Samsung or iPhone.
FWIW, I just noticed that the Commodore 64 keyboard used the same numeric row layout as ASM-DA and the Japanese layout. Common legacy.

I do not think the opportunity in Brazil, for fintechs, is about people using cash. More than 100 million have a bank account, with a card, and more than 70 million have a credit card[0]. Almost every place you go you could use a credit card to pay, including churches and street vendors.

But, is too expensive and too much bureaucracy to take a loan. Big Banks is one of the sectors that most profits in Brasil[1], so they do not care so much about small and personal loans. Or loans to small companies. And the legislation sucks too, politicians have passed a new law that will make even harder to make Angel Investments[2]. Is too risky and expensive for everyone that want to loan money to people. Loan money to government is more profitable and almost without risk to Big Banks and mutual funds. So, there is a huge opportunity to disrupt this.

> the situation is not pareto-optimal.

Only in the short run it isn't. On the long run, school trading creates incentives which make the entire system worse.

So you're not just optimizing for a single round of students, you're optimizing for the future rounds of students. And pareto-optimal makes no sense when you're looking at future rounds with different students.

But you could create a pareto-optimal analogy: allowing two students now to trade place in a seemingly pareto-optimal way would actually harm other students when you look at the future rounds, so the trade actually isn't pareto-optimal.

So it isn't an error, it's working as intended.
