Your examination of the media is astute.

Part if the problem is businesses wanted more tabloid journalism because they wanted to make money. The real journalists fought it but apparently lost, or gave up, or did something else. Now that all news is essentially tabloid, they're not distinct enough to not be aggregated.

I mean with Trump, it's even happening to the papers that have good journalism. They've all turned to Chicken Little and the sky is falling. I mean I can go anywhere to read about the part where Trump said something stupid. I want them to analyze everything he said.

The newspapers were one of the latter industries affected by globalization and disruption. Had they been one of the first, and complained when globalization and automation was in it's infancy, a lot of people wouldn't have embraced it so and the wealth gap would be a lot smaller. Who knows?

Hey @benguild, I'm the creator. What's the question?
It's just sad that the most positive reaction among professional users to Apple's new, innovative feature is, "I don't mind it too much."
You write about a robot that, from a phenomenology perspective, appeared to embody the understanding of dance required because it was moving in a certain graceful way of dancing. Then you imply that this system was certainly unaware of the complexity of dance, irrespective of how graceful it could be. That is, it didn't "understand" dance in a more abstract way.

I would not argue otherwise, nor was this line of reasoning in question.

So you aren't arguing against my point, that reducing the argument of understanding to: "Well X is just [a, b, c]" is a bad argument. Instead you argue against the unstated claim that "X systems that look like they embody Y actually have an understanding of Y," in the sense that a human would "understand" Y. That is a strawman and not what the something I am claiming.

Not the author here and I don't particular appreciate advertisement landing pages on HN which this is. But as someone who routinely charges $50k for similar projects, I'm curious...

The pricing in the software consulting industry is a bit opaque. Very few companies do what this one does and advertise their price up front. Which I respect.

So my question is, is this sort of pricing common? Am I over charging? Are they under charging? Are we both over or under charging? [1]

[1] I know there are a LOT of factors and there is no way someone could say for sure without due diligence but I guess you can take a guess.

Ok, but we decide to call that coding/programming? It really puts the art in a bad light, like claiming carpentry was about sawing in straight lines or following IKEA assembly instructions.

Cool story of what you've been able to do by investing in modern web technologies like Mithril.

The part where you say a lot of people are terrified of heir skillset becoming obsolete -- I'm not sure I see that in web developers. Everybody I talk to is happy that their knowledge is now obsolete of which array methods don't work in IE8, for example.

Possibly a lot of the backlash against JS comes from conversations that go like the "How it feels to learn JavaScript in 2016" essay rather than like the one posted here.
I had a dev write some "modern" Javascript in a project. We neglected to test in slightly out-of-date safari on Mac. Took forever to figure out that "let" keyword was not supported.
I think he's curious about the origin of the name.

San usually meaning "without" and degree often meaning "Diploma from a higher education institute" it is a rather interesting chose of company name. Not something people typically advertise so explicitly if that is indeed what it means.

It's different for at least two reasons:

1. Arpaio did not ask for a pardon.

Almost every other President has only pardoned people who asked for a pardon.

2. It's for a misdemeanor conviction that resulted in only a short jail sentence (six months), which I believe he has not even started to serve.

Almost every other pardon is for a felony with a long sentence, which already has had significant time served.
I may severely dislike certain people but acknowledge their undeniable good judgment. Being reasonably honest, I'll tell as much if asked for a reference.

Anything that involves a word like "good" instead of something numeric is hard to objectively measure. But if your aim is not science but hiring, you learn to trust your gut and other unscientific instruments. (Human vision is very much flawed as a scientific instrument, but it helps do complex things nonetheless. Same with human judgment.)
DIY Powerwalls aside, the idea of procuring cells across various "dead" batteries is amazing for the environment. A lot of times, people just throw out the entire battery even though only 1 or 2 cell is dead which shuts off the entire thing. But this is literally the 2nd-R in "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle", which comes before recycle. I know there's a notion that recycle makes everything so much cleaner but there's a reason why its the 3rd-R in the motto.

They complain about Dockerfiles and have a broken link to some project with 288 commits, without even acknowledging that a Dockerfile isn't needed to build a docker image. It is just as easy to build from a regular old disk image, a chroot, etc. I don't blame RedHat for trying to capitalize on the container frenzy, but this doesn't reflect well on them. Also, kind of expected more from the SELinux Coloring Book.
You're probably aware of this but that's why you put everything through Babel or Typescript to convert it. That setup is easy enough.
It's even more nuanced than that.

I was one of the Dylan programmers working on Senior (and Cadillac). I used to have a couple of the hardware prototypes, but I don't anymore.

I don't remember things being nasty, exactly, although I do remember that Larry Tesler authorized the switch to C++ because he was told to, rather than because he wanted to. I remember he looked kind of disappointed. The reason that I and about four other people kept workin in Dylan is that Larry asked us to see what Dylan could be used for on Newton. Our answer was "pretty much everything--see? Here's a working OS."

Realistically, that was the wrong answer, and we should have known it. I think we just got caught up in the really interesting intellectual challenge of inventing a novel OS around a novel Lisp, and nobody stopped us. As I said in the other comment, I don't know why management let us keep going as long as they did, but I'm gratedul.

I might well have been one of the unhappy faces you refer to, but C++ had nothing to do with that. By that point I had been using C++ regularly for about 4 years or so,ever since Apple first got AT&T's CFront, and in those days I still actually liked it.

Admittedly, I liked Lisp a lot better.

But no, C++ was not the source of my unhappiness. My unhappiness was because I had just poured heart and soul into a serious piece of work for about two years and I was having to say goodbye to it.

That's when I went to NeXT. A friend of mine had gone to work for them managing part of the software group and convinced Steve that he should hire me. So I went to NeXt and talked about Newton (because after two years of 100-hour weeks it was all I could talk about anymore) and Steve pitched me his hard sell about how I should be at NeXT.

But that's another story.
Big city air can look great and still kill young children and old folks due to small particles. Most cities in Europe have terrible air thanks to the popularity of diesel autos, the low standards for pollution controls, and European governments being willing to ignore automakers who break the rules.

Do you have a source for most pollution coming from large trucks?
If it's not in the policy "we don't cover homemade lithium projects", your covered. Very few things a home policy won't cover like nuclear war, terrorist acts for example. If your operating as a home business building these then that could be an issue, otherwise you can be an idiot and build whatever you want and your covered.
You're right, this is way better!
You have to know, anything crowdfunded is very high risk. I'm not sure why people even do it if the reward is maybe a product at a discount.

Getting up and walking around the cabin mitigates that. I usually walk several laps from front to back every few hours, and it's not an issue because most people tend to be asleep.
The poor mans equivalent of this is hooking up a decent computer fan to the battery on a scooter. Force feeding the intake on the poor little thing certainly felt like it doubled the power, but double almost nothing still isn't much. Turboing the lawn mower works great too, but I'm less sure you would want that done.
I don't, even in business. I flew to HKG last week via Helsinki and Bangkok; not only was it cheaper because 2 stops but we had 1 full day in Helsinki and 1 full day in Bangkok which made my jetlag, landing in HKG non existing and gave us time to visit friends in both cities.
I really agree with you. The idea of a homebuilt powerwall sounds really cool. But it's not something I would come close to working with.

Awhile ago I did a some volunteer work at a radio station. One of my tasks was to check for arcing. That involved going into the transformer room, disabling the safety systems, unracking some of the electrical components, powering the system on, turning off the lights and then looking for flashes from electrical arcs. It also involved going out at night with night vision goggles to check for arcing on the antenna. If we saw anything we knew what needed to be fixed. Safety was important there, but I developed a healthy respect for electricity. After working there I'm a little freaked out about the idea of dealing with high voltage systems.
gnaritas is being pretty hard on you and shouldn't resort to ad-hominem, e.g. saying you are terrible at x. I think you obviously care a lot about this topic and actually have a lot to offer.

I will offer a perspective on this exchange...

I think people who have survived many-many math based courses often have an immediate and aggressive response to diving into the minutae of a quantitative topic before they have grokked the intuition behind it. This is a defence mechanism built up from hours and hours of wasted time in lectures where the topic has moved on before the student/s have really developed the basics and are ready for the detailed stuff.

Hours and hours of wasted life.

When a person with this defence mechanism sees a noobie about to fall into the same horrible cycle, this will trigger some aggression. For example: downvoting your post- they are trying to protect the noobs.

So if you are interested in reaching as many people as possible, please don't give up. I think your teaching effectiveness could be improved by finding ways to engage people at their (lower) level of understanding and trying to help then incrementally improve their mental models.
Not moot. My point is pretty simple: payers tolerate irreversibility, recipients like irreversibility, hence Bitcoin can (and does) work.
Hey @throwaway2016a, responding to some of your comments:

1) Not sure why you'd have complaints with this site versus, say, any business on HN that attempts to make money being advertised. I originally put "Show HN: " in the title, but it was changed by a moderator. Was mostly looking for feedback.

2) Re pricing: I'd say in order to assume you are over/under pricing, I'd have to know what you are building. Are you building simple 5 page static sites? Probably overcharging, depending on the complexity. Are you building a complicated clustercuss of interconnected API calls hooked up to a background processor that munges the data and distributes it through multiple channels?... it gets complicated.

The reason I made 20kprototype.com is because I see a lot of people who have ideas, a decent amount of money, but no way to get from A to B. If they go to an agency, the overhead alone will cost them near $100k. If they go to a developer, the dev will say "Okay. Do you have a designer? Who's doing [insert whatever they don't want to do here]?" Then who manages those people?... This idea is: I'll take it from 0 - working so you can prove the idea or show investors. All the work goes into the functionality.

Hope that answers your questions!

I've not really been a fan of the Redhat ecosystem for years. Fedora, RHEL, etc. while "stable" always feel like if I want to build something a bit more modern requires contortions that even Debian Stable did away with years ago.

As for "Buildah", what about Deis and build packs deployed to Kubernetes? RH has gotten better in recent years with Openshift syncing closer to Kubernetes releases, but are still a far cry from how CoreOS handles things with Tectonic.

From my experience - early 80s, the school had probably a dozen computers.

This limitation allowed us kids a very limited time to work on the computers, during that down time I and those who "got it" would be scribbling away on paper, reading books, magazines or whatever to plan what to do next when we had computer time. If there was some programming that needed fixing, we'd be working on solving these problems. Back then it was BASIC and assembly code on paper. Now its some pseudocode, simple flowcharts, and wireframes I pen down.

This similar might be a good thing for todays' students is to also limit computer time, (some will work at home, but the schools have a computer lab for those that don't) in the down-time (most of the school, day), they would be working using traditional methods with the final being word processed or whatever. Now they would be taking notes, and as they get to enter it in, during the downtime they'd be editing whatever they've written and printed out. Would make them more aware of what a great tool the computer is, afford them time to plan their projects the resources to maximize what access they have. This also gives them time to actually think of about what their project will be without some errant web sites distracting them along the way.
I have come to see this sort of thing as a symptom of the extreme advantage incumbents have in the marketplace. This is why most companies become straight up high palace drama. They can do this because they rule the kingdom and everyone will pay their tax (do business with them) like it or not. If you threaten the king and show you are smarter you are toast and will be killed.

Every established business I have worked with is like this.
Dual (or even triple, and I've seen 4 and 5 too) SIMs is pretty much standard on phones, dumb or smart, intended for the Asia market, mostly produced by various small companies based on the standard Mediatek platform, but you can buy those online.
It's nice to see the unraveling of the drug war Nixon gave us in 1970 (and really earlier). It only took, what? 45 years? I dare say it's the bloodiest war we've ever fought.
The troubling thing is people ordered the headphones on the website too, not just on kickstarter. I'm sure taking an order on your website and not sending anything is some kind of fraud. It's not like kickstarter where you are funding the company and the company promises to make it up to you.

No it's not, but keep in mind that the cars accelerate at an average of around 1.45g.

If it weren't for the inability to transfer all of the power to motion (due to traction loss), they could accelerate from 0 to 100 kph (62 mph) in around 1 second.

With the down force provided with increased speed, they actually accelerate faster from 100 to 200 kph (62 to 122 mph) than from 0 to 100 [1]:

0 to 100 km/h (62 mph): 2.4 seconds
0 to 200 km/h (124 mph): 4.4 seconds
0 to 300 km/h (186 mph): 8.4 seconds

> But... the Branch Davidians did have a cache of weapons.

Which is a constitutionally protected inalienable right given to all citizens of The United States. There is no limitation to how many firearms a U.S. citizen can own. There are many people who own hundreds of rifles and handguns. Any other commodity and we'd call it a "collection" but when it's firearms suddenly it's a "cache of weapons".

What matters, what you seemed to miss, is the way they describe the situation. They call it a "cache of weapons" on TV because that sounds like terrorism. When it's only American citizens exercising their rights.

They do that to manipulate ignorant people. They don't want you to ask questions when they murder a house full of people. Which they do a whole lot. WACO was unusual, being a big media circus, but they're actually really efficient at this murder business and it happens pretty frequently.
It's like compiling for older CPUs ... if newer CPUs could execute C++ source code directly.

Also, showers usually do more than just getting one clean. It could be psychological, but I find showers help me to relax, de-stress, and prepare me for sleep. Of course I'm one of those folks who shower before bedtime, so your mileage may vary.

It's interesting to look at how BioWare---back when it was BioWare---used radial menus to great effect in multiple games. In addition to Neverwinter Nights, the radial conversation menus in the original Mass Effect trilogy come to mind. By assigning "Paragon" and "Renegade" dialogue options to standard directions on the wheel, the system made it possible to pick a conversation choice so quickly that the scene would run at a dramatic pace without the awkward pauses in many other games as you scrolled through dialogue choices.

I really wonder how much of a demand there is for this.

So usually once a year (maybe twice) I fly from New York to Perth. By distance this is one of the longest journeys. Perth is a few hundred miles from the antipode of NYC. I have the "advantage" that I can fly in pretty much any direction. The two major options for a single stop are via the Middle East or over the Arctic to Hong Kong. There might be other options through say South Korea or Japan but I don't think any airlines fly direct from Perth to these. Oh and I think China Southern can do it via China.

Anyway. this amounts to roughly 24 hours (total) in aircraft time. I'm 6'2" and wider than a coach seat so this would be torture. I am fortunate enough to be able to afford a premium cabin so it's one of the things I choose to spend money on. This might mean paying 3x as much for a flight. I don't care.

Anyway, a big problem with even longer haul flights is the added cost of carrying the fuel you need for those last few thousand miles. I think Qantas estimated the per passenger cost of LHR to PER is about 30-40% higher than making a stop.

SYD-JFK is ~10% longer than LHR-PER, which will make the cost what? 60-70% more than going via LAX or DFW.

The problem of course too is if your final destination from Sydney isn't London or New York then you need to make a connection anyway.

So this is where say the ME3 carriers shine: ultra long routes with a single stop and a lot of options for city pairings.

Anyway, I'm sure someone will want these flights. I don't expect any direct NYC to PER flights anytime soon however. :)
It's easier to do that if you're in the aisle seat and not too many other people have the same idea.

I've been on many transpacific flights where enough people do it at the same time and all the aisles are blocked.

I’ve moved to an iMac + iPad setup since a couple months ago, hence the comment about finding non-Touch Bar keyboards inconvenient (even though you can use the iPad as a Mac Touch Bar with Duet [1]), but from memory:

- Changing brightness or volume by swiping in a single motion.

- When you’re typing and get a dialog/alert, tapping on the Touch Bar is much quicker and requires less movement than moving your hand to the trackpad or mouse and clicking on a screen button.

- When typing and having to choose something from a list, like the label for a contact (“Home”, “Work”), it’s again quicker to just tap on the Touch Bar than to move the mouse pointer to open the dropdown box and click on an item onscreen.

- Ability to have more shortcuts with different types of controls (sliders etc.) than you can with Fn keys + modifiers, and labels/icons make it unnecessary to remember which Fn number with which modifier does what.

- Show various status items on the Touch Bar and other customization with BetterTouchTool [2].

The Touch Bar is a replacement of the Fn keys, not the keyboard. It’s a complement to the keyboard and trackpad, not a secondary screen (although you can hack it to use it as one [2]).

How many people do you wager bled any amount over the half century in this 'war'? It is my understanding that a lot of people (rightfully) faced criminal penalties, and even that number pales in comparison to the victims of actual violence in real wars.
Not necessarily a scam, but Sixense raised money for a tracking device, which they then used to develop MakeVR instead. Now they make profits of selling MakeVR, backers get nothing.

https://techcrunch.com/2017/08/07/vive-studios-releases-make...

"Sixense is still be best known for stringing along Kickstarter supporters of its STEM controllers, a project which raised more than $600k and has yet to ship to backers more than three years after its targeted ship date. Failed Kickstarter projects aren’t all that rare but Sixense has continued to post updates discussing supposed improvements or production issues while backers beg for refunds. All of this has been done while continuing to transition its efforts into software projects like MakeVR."
