Maybe it's karma powered, but yeah I feel a bit sad about this on the frontpage, not because I don't see the merit of it, but because I've tried to promote my feed that was tracking hundred of startup blogs and tech giants, and I was just able to get like 4 points in the 3 occasions I put it on Show HN. It's already water over the bridge and it's not tracking any more news, but anyway, sorry for this mini rant.

Example:

I want to show that there is a lot more murder today than before because of guns.

I pick one year (a far edge of the bell curve type of year) to compare to today where there was the least amount of murders and compare it to day.

Without showing an average or showing even a distribution bias should be expected. There is very little reason for picking a single year to these types of arguments and it is too often done.
There are different degrees of sensitivity though. Infrastructure, eg what Coinbase published, are pretty vague in the real terms. A hacker would still need to approach their target in the same way even with knowing this information. But exploits like Heartbleed could leak information about what users are in /etc/passwd, which is a lot more sensitive since that would significantly reduce the entropy needed for a brute force attack against the host.
It's standard go to strategy once you control the supply chain.

Maybe it should be called Walmart strategy because it was perfected by them. First they propose a deal. You get access to the massive Walmart supply channel for this good deal. Sales volumes and profits soar. Half year later Walmart buyers negotiate price little lower, then lower still. You must lower the quality of the brand little to make it. And it goes on and on. Finally it becomes almost impossible to separate from Walmart because finding another supply channel for the bulk you end up making is next to impossible. Walmart never stops squeezing once it has you.

How do you suggest they de-escalate (without the use of military posturing) a situation where DPRK threatens the very existence of two of our greatest allies, perpetually? I'm sure you realize that if DPRK is left to their own devices, they will develop a sufficient deterrent to simply saunter into ROK, and face no foreign intervention.
What troubled me about the article is that it implies Leonardo was a peaceful man yet these are points 4, 5 and 6 in in his resume:

"... 4. Again, I have kinds of mortars; most convenient and easy to carry; and with these I can fling small stones almost resembling a storm; and with the smoke of these cause great terror to the enemy, to his great detriment and confusion.

5. And if the fight should be at sea I have kinds of many machines most efficient for offense and defense; and vessels which will resist the attack of the largest guns and powder and fumes.

6. I have means by secret and tortuous mines and ways, made without noise, to reach a designated spot, even if it were needed to pass under a trench or a river. ..."

Idk much about other things in this essay, but his goal is always on imagination line, while in reality it is, well, constrained somewhere on reality curve (at most).

I wouldn't mind some elaboration. I'm early-thirties and find myself dwelling on these issues regularly. I feel I'm at a crossroads where on the one hand I can still go for those 'hot' things with enough excitement, but on the other hand find myself tired of feeling like I'm just following trends and reinventing the wheel, instead of actually getting better at my craft, much as the word makes me feel self-conscious.
According to their wikipedia entry:

Pratt has organised the build of a $50 million, 100% recycled plastics plant in Sydney. This plant will enable Visy to make its PET and HDPE bottles out of 100% recycled plastic resin for everything from soft drink bottles to shampoo bottles to milk bottles. At full capacity, this facility will remove some 2 billion plastic bottles from the waste stream and recycle them into new bottles.

The company certainly seems to have had some other controversies, but it's not clear if what you claim is actually true. I would say you are going to have to put in some more work in order to substantiate your claims.

Which is OK (so the user should have a choice :) ). Just my personal experience, but seeing dates as "06/07/20XX" always makes me do a double check (is this next week or in a month?) unless I know that I have everything configured my way, which may be different from the way of site designer.
A strange story I read was in the earliest polytheistic era its an evolutionary economic advantage for an entire region or culture to enforce a level of economic protectionism on villages. Stops one village from gaining total economic ascendancy over the region. Its an inoculation against civil war, we could kill them and take their pigs, but we can't eat pigs, and since we're not in economic competition we're not much richer than they are so there's no guarantee they won't end up killing us and taking our cows, which they can't eat... Sort of pre-history zoning rules. Naturally things look weird later on if one tribe takes over the whole region, much like it would be weird to have a city zoned entirely for nothing but an endless sea of McDonalds restaurants.
alternate TL;DR: Science was done, no new data was generated that couldn't have been predicted from existing laws, existing mysteries remain.

Basically this is the "boring" science, not the exciting "hmm, that's odd" science. It's very important science of course, the sort that you need for science to actually work, but it is rather boring from the perspective of someone outside looking in on the process.
Thanks a lot. What is the biggest threat for these failed startups in common?
There's a common refrain you'll hear among Gophers. It goes something like: "I just wrote a 150+ line mind dump. And it successfully built on the first try. No errors. That's never happened before!" So stick with it. It's designed for that level of productivity ;)

I feel like I'm learning new concurrency patterns every week or so. Visualization tools like gotrace help, but it's still a mental twizzler. The first time you see chan type os.Signal, or func() or chan chan, you can't help think to yourself "why would anyone do this?" But as you begin to realize its not just about passing data but distributed control flow through your system, you gain more confidence in experimenting.

Ask HN: Boss Offers me 50% work instead of quitting
Hi Guys
I have been working on my side project for a while. But its clear to me that I need to be more focused. I feel great when I work on my project over vacation, and my current job is not necessarily a dream job. So finally I decided to tell my boss I would like to quit for the purpose of a startup. And his response is, "What about working 50% ?".

Should i take the offer and do a soft exit ?

Note1: 50% of my current salary is tight but enough to live on
Note2: I have enough savings to go for about 2 years without work.
Well, if you've seen it you've seen it. I was suggesting a workaround in the form of tmux inside your termux session.

I also used a company rebate for the 0 down 0 interest.if you join the farmers guild you get 500$ off for 50$. And you also get a pge 500$ rebate for having an electric car.

Work also had a spreadsheet of all past volt sale prices. So negotiations were easy.

I answered the comment which used "extremely poor" and "subsistence farmers" so I used the international poverty line ($1.90). At $3.2 (World Bank's lower middle income poverty line), it was 12.1% or 160 million people, but that was 2013. The number dropped rapidly every year. It should be lower now.

Purchasing parity is a good measure for living standards. You can buy a full meal for 10 yuan or $1.5 in rural China. It is not fair to measure their income with no adjustment. Cooking for a family may cost less than that. $1 in rural China is worth much more than $1 in the US.

Your quotes were from 2014. China is improving every year. You can Google for more recent statistics and quote them here if you disagree.
What are your goals?

Are you doing zappa or something else for your Django?

This sounds better, and perhaps I could be on board with this. I went a different route, which is kubernetes for my Django + Celery. Over 75% of my load is "stable", so kubernetes + celery ends up cheaper than lambda for me. I can basically throw my web servers in my kubernetes cluster "for free".. but if I had just a webapp, I would feel better about my entire Django in one Lambda, or at least 1 entire "app" of my Django in one Lambda. My biggest gripe is warmup speed, 3 seconds for a cold request is pretty bad compared to the 100ms I have now in kubernetes.

He did certainly not. LDV has been asleep for years. He is dead. His remains are but dust.

Isaacson has more likely been using his great imagination to write an exciting read. He has performed wonderfully at this in the past with other long-dead individuals. But in the cases where the person was only recently deceased and still present in first-hand memories of living individuals, Isaacson has been found to do a dismal job.

- mention of code golfing

If code golfing is done using Befunge or Brainf*, multiply score by 3.

Yes! I'd add that the sales themselves are often during working hours, but there's viewings in the days/weeks leading up to the sales which are a SUPERB way to view some world-class art for free.

There's also a lot of surprisingly affordable work available (hundreds/low thousands for prints from famous artists). And you can always consign it back to the auction house and get the majority of your investment back (and then some, if you're lucky).
Not sure about putty but it definitely works over SSH depending on your terminal emulator.
As entrepreneurs the only way to learn are either through our own experience or those of others. Of course this is an interdisciplinary subject, and so other domain knowledge is perhaps most important. But how do we become better at entrepreneurship then? It is especially difficult because it is almost impossible to differentiate accounts that are true from those that are fabricated to suit some marketing purpose. We should learn from the accounts depicted here, but it really isn't enough. When we only have accurate coverage of the extremes of failures/successes, we end up with a distorted view of how things work. It would be great to see more rigorous formal studies being done more consistently, so we can take the same approach to learning that we have in other disciplines.

valME.io, the blogging site I developed, has been doing this for years [1]. A user can provide their own SSL cert if they want but typically I just set them up via Let's Encrypt and then it does its automatic renewal process. If you're on a VPS, it's straight-forward to setup one of many ACME client alternatives [2]. If you're on shared hosting, it will depend on the hosting provider (some might even have it integrated if they use an administrative tool like Virtualmin).

I think the challenge is quadratic growth of complexity with state size.

Here’s an example of FSM with relatively complex state, 1000-lines gc_execute_line function, it’s for CNC: https://github.com/grbl/grbl/blob/master/grbl/gcode.c

That’s not my code, but I’m not sure I would be able to do much better than that.

Well spoken, that goes for me too. Something about internet discussions amplifies disagreement!
Here's my advice:

1. 100% commitment. An unexpected injury or illness is outside of your control, so don't worry about it.

2. Toe the start line fit, injury-free, and positive.

3. Know that it will hurt.

4. Enjoy the day.

DNS isn't very useful unless you're actually planning to visit the IPs you just looked up. And as soon as you do that, you'll send the domain name in plaintext via SNI.
Yes, totally. But as a side effect it's also the best and most usable tool that I've ever seen that lets you edit the syntax tree directly.

In that sense it can be seen as the most extensive exploration of this idea, and it could definitely serve as an inspiration to those who want to make a tree editor. Jetbrains poured some serious time and UX design into how to edit a syntax tree.

It has a decent Java mode for example, which you could use to edit Java sources. It takes some getting used to but it really isn't half bad. You can't write code with it that doesn't parse.

I don't think so.

The purpose of SNI is to pass the domain name to the final destination server, so it can serve up the correct SSL cert where there are multiple domains hosted on the same IP
As close as you like. Mouse movements are much more finicky than keyboard ones -- they require a physical precision (seeking, alignment, selection) that keyboard movements don't. And if you never leave the keyboard, you don't have to return to the keyboard to continue your typing. I'm confident even a moderately skilled touch typist familiar with vim would outperform someone switching to the mouse on average for these kinds of tasks.
Okay, thinking about your arguments I have to agree. This is not about nutritional advise but about nutritional science. In the pure science department having a good enough result to statistically trust it is rare and may happen even two or three generations until it is common believe already. It is actually good that they ignore common believe in favor of reliable data. Someone must.
I just made a general comment above, but your message is very well put about software in particular.

Reading along with HN for a few years now is making me more terminology-oriented in areas of coding and capitalism, two of the major themes.

So to me it's only software if it's intended for sale (or profitable distribution), otherwise it's just computer programs.

Same with hardware, if it's not built for profit then it's not wares, just equipment.

Nothing wrong with building in quality for profit, but you may not be able to compete with low-quality-focused operators, especially ones which are strongly established.
Noted, I'll give it a shot. Haven't much looked at tmux given long-term use of screen.
That assumes those companies have legal departments.
Does having your weeks start on Monday get confusing at all? I guess I'd just find it weird to have Thursday be the middle of the week instead of Wednesday. I also just find dates weird in general since it seems to use 1-based indexing whereas time uses 0-based indexing. First month and day of new year? 01-01. First hour, minute, and second of new day? 00:00:00.
Why Removing a AWS Security Group Role Does Not Stop Traffic Flow
The whole argument of “wasting time” reaching for the mouse has never made sense to me. In a decade of programming its never been a bottleneck for me.

Maybe I’m an outlier here but the whole thinking, planning, and experimenting takes way longer than my hands can move.
I am not certain but I believe the B-1 will be the one you need. Regardless I'm sure YC will be able to point you in the right direction.
put a marker at the begining of what you want to cut (mb) b is an arbitrary character but I use b becaues b = begin.
find the end of the block with search, or jkl; or whatever. mark the end of the block (me) e is for end. now type `b, that will bring you back to the start. type v, that puts you in visual mode. type `e, that selects your text from begin to end. x to cut it.

so all in all it's mb<search>me`bv`ex

now if your say you can search your text faster with your mouse than with keystrokes you have a different problem: you don't know how to use the search features in vim efficiently.*

I think it's nearly impossible to be faster with a mouse than a keyboard when it comes to search.

*and yes, to be efficient at it there's a 2 month learning curve that pays dividends over the next 30 years of your programming career -- it's up to you if you think it's worth the investment or not. Use it or lose it, if you don't make an effort you'll stay at your local maximum.
