Hiring devs to just think is part of what creates these convoluted mess of systems. It's impossible to convey and idea well enough that another person could implement it in the same fashion. Look at language specifications: they are written by top-tier developers, but when implemented by other equally top-tier developers, there is an inevitable difference of opinion.

Senior developers should be writing code for important systems, and juniors should be writing the less important bits. That way, they get the opportunity to experiment without the company being stuck with a critical system written by a person who reinvented Yet Another Elliptical Wheel.

Mentoring is important and all, but at some point, you just have to start working.

This suggest to me that Air Bnb has not done it's due diligence. They seem not to have a sense of what would attract one to one destination over another, or the demographic of the travelers. My guests in Dearborn have tended to be older, and they travel specifically to go to Henry Ford/greenfield village for things such as Maker Faire and car shows.
Restricting access instead of helping them build that healthy relationship just leads to them wanting to do things like go to the houses of friends to watch YouTube.

It’s not possible to survive behind a paywall because the next site provides similar content “for free”. I think it’s hard to say how the competitive landscape in e.g news would look if ad revenue was drastically cut online.

If ads don’t pay the next site’s bills either, then sites would have to compete for paywall customers with quality. Even if a large fraction of news sites died I don’t see a big problem since the quality of the remaining outlets would be higher, and prices lower as more customers choose among more paid services. Clickbait would almost completely be a thing of the past, if there as no revenue in ads, for example.
I believe we just getting into a period of social networks phenomena, where everyone is sick and tired of the big Facebook, and soon a fresh new thing will pop-up... This network will be smoother, nicer and smarter approach to social networks than Facebook is and will serve same users, just more mature. Sure few years ago FB was such giant that noone could touch it. But since then the cost of Cloud-computing and serving millions of connections per hour went drastically down, and its never been a rocket science to design and program basic social network.

I just wonder if we already have such network and I just happened not to hear about it yet :)

Are you sure you aren't being a little overly paranoid about these materials?

Not saying that there isn't necessarily any attempt at propaganda there, but it sounds like you're just saying that these resources didn't directly criticize the CCP. Seems to me like it would be a bigger deal if learning materials did start going into the negatives of a ruling government. It would be a little odd if French materials for learning English included a denunciation of the actions of the British Empire or the Bush Administration for example (even if the denunciation was deserved).

What kind of negative things would you expect a more even-handed textbook for learning Chinese to go into?

The inflation adjusted pension, which roughly works out to 33% of your final salary, is in addition to the federal 401k program and social security.

The fact that it is inflation adjusted is critical. To calculate the value of the pension plan, you would need to compute the NPV of an infinite series (assuming advancing healthcare).

The medical benefits are also quite significant and, for lower grade workers, will dwarf the value of the pension.

And remember that those changes will have to be choreographed well in advance so that other miners can implement the changes too - at which point Bitmain will know the changes as well.

> This is a $350 device which runs only one app. Why?

Because the consumer doesn't care about the things you care about - they truly don't care at all. Zero. Nil.

The consumer wants to play music, they want it to sound good, they want zero setup or calibration involved, they want good software integration with the ecosystem they're already familiar with and they want the device to look good alongside their home decor. Oh and they want reliable, no-lag, multi-room audio so that their setup can expand throughout their home.

Now go in the market and tell me which device accomplishes these things. The answer is very very very few. There's Sonos, and really that's about it. There are a bunch of major drawbacks with Sonos: the Sonos app is complete garbage, there's calibration required, it doesn't sound as good, it doesn't look as good and the software integration with any ecosystem let alone Apple's is subpar.

With HomePod, those in the Apple ecosystem finally have a best-in-class sounding speaker which is deeply integrated into the software they already know and use throughout their life (Mac, iPad, iPhone, Watch, etc), looks beautiful, is small, and just works with no setup (AirPlay, Real time whole room calibration). To achieve that in one elegant package is no small feat.

The reason many people are getting mad is because it's not a device that's for them - which is completely OK. This is a product that is targeted at Apple's consumer base which if you're counting is at nearly a billion users or more. They do not need to appeal to those with an Android phone or those who use Spotify to sell this thing at scale and be successful by any reasonable metric. They simply don't have to, and people can get angry about it all they want.

You are right. Three-phase needs less copper wire for the same amount of power delivery, which is the real reason everyone uses it. It needs less copper because it never has "dead time" where the copper isn't delivering power (hence the desire for constant instantaneous power).

I tried to word my explanation as accurately as I could, but I had to leave out a lot of tricky details for people who aren't electrical engineers. You have to be careful not to mix up regular averages, RMS averages, and instantaneous values when you deal with AC. If you get them wrong, you come to incorrect conclusions, such as the idea that single-phase electricity has zero power. The average voltage is indeed zero, but you can't use regular averages when you calculate power delivery, only instantaneous voltage differences and currents. You get RMS averages when you integrate those instantaneous values over time, and that brings in the the cos(phi) issues you mention.
I too wish you the best, sorry for coming across so aggressively.

Frankly, I don't remember with certainty. But Wikipedia seems to agree with what my memory:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit

"
The term GPU was popularized by Nvidia in 1999, who marketed the GeForce 256 as "the world's first GPU", or Graphics Processing Unit,[2] although the term had been in use since at least the 1980s.[3] It was presented as a "single-chip processor with integrated transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, and rendering engines".[4] Rival ATI Technologies coined the term "visual processing unit" or VPU with the release of the Radeon 9700 in 2002.[5]
"

I had forgotten that ATI initially tried to push the term VPU instead of accepting NVIDIA's terminology. The goal of both companies's marketing teams was the same--to convince the market that GPUs were as indispensable as CPUs and not just optional accelerators.
The single market helps with physical media (e.g. DVDs) and the digital single market helps with electronic sell through (e.g. the Apple model where you buy a movie digitally and download it).

But there are still two big gaps

1. Even for physical or download to own media, you can still strike distribution exclusives and you can make them based on language. I can make a deal with a German distributor that they're the only ones that gets to distribute the German version of my movie. They can choose to delay the release of the German version for as long as they want. If you only speak German then you can't watch the movie even if the French, Italian, Spanish and Polish versions were released 6 months ago.

2. This really doesn't help with SVOD (e.g. Netflix-style) services. I can make exclusive deals with an SVOD provider in Germany and one in France. If the French provider decides they're going to hold back the release of the movie on their service then, sure, with the EU single digital market the German provider has to let you sign up, but now you're signing up for SVOD services all over the place.

You can have a two phase power system[1], but two phase generators are less efficient and more expensive relative to three phase – for the exact same reason why power distribution is less efficient and more expensive relative to three phase.

[1] two phases in quadrature, which is very different from split phase, which is not two phase at all.
HomePod does persist Airplay connection with AppleTV as long as you don't Airplay directly to HomePod from a separate source. You can still Airplay to AppleTV that is Airplay'ing to HomePod but that will turn on your TV. It's not perfect but I have enjoyed using HomePod as my primary AppleTV speaker since launch and hope they introduce multiple Airplay streams with Airplay2 release.

It's fair for you to say that you don't need that negativity in your life, but remember that your family members may have experienced racism in a different era even if they're only a few decades older than you. You'd be surprised how different your day to day life as a minority would be in a different socioeconomic ladder, city, or industry.

I spent my first first two years in the States bullied and called various ethnic slurs by classmates. My brother who attended the same school and grade only 6 years later never felt or received any of that, partly due to his knowledge of the English language, but also because blatant racism became totally unacceptable in grade school by that time.

Now, do I hold a grudge against an entire race for that? No, in fact, my first few friends even then were all caucasians. But I can certainly see someone who grew up 10 years before be harboring some resentment because I've also seen how rapidly racial remarks can fall out of favor.
Talking of ships, the term “hard fork” is just as correct as your use of “crypto”: technically correct.

> The electrical outlets in your home have two power-carrying prongs.

Only one of the prongs carries power. The other is attached to the earth, and is always at zero volts.

> and then they will slowly switch places over the next 1/120 of a second so the right wire is at +170 volt

No. The power prong (the smaller one) will switch from -170 to +170. The other one (the neutral) is always at zero (measured relative to you).

> Turing three-phase voltage into two phase voltage is pretty easy. Just pick any two of the three wires and hook them into the home.

This is not what they do. If they did they would not be able to have a neutral, and you would also not have an option of 240v. Homes don't have two phases, they have split phase.

Instead they take a single phase, and attach it to a center tapped transformer, which I described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16380133

> Just pick any two of the three wires and hook them into the home.

In actuality the phases have 240 volts between them, not 120. And from any phase to neutral is 208 volts (which some devices make use of). (Those are voltages to customers. Internally they use other voltages - in particular when they use a single phase, power a street with it - they care about the voltage to neutral, not the voltage relative to another phase.)

Two things in one story (I see this a lot. Its good actually. stories don't have to have only one story-arc)

one story is a bloody good C implementation of a parser for common markdown. Thats wonderful! I wanted something simple and focussed.

the other is common markdown as a value proposition in itself. I like this, and I would welcome pandoc fronting up and saying yep, we commit to keeping in line with this because I think it does everyone good to get to a common core.

I try to do everything in markdown now. I sometimes wish the tools I use (visual studio code) did a better job of distinguishing * this * and * * * this * * * for instance.

Actually, I sometimes wish HN did a bit more too, but then simple is pretty compelling. I think if you want richtext in a feedback system beyond denoting quotes, you might be off-beam.

Most of Europe buried its LV power cabling decades ago. The answer is probably a mixture of "nobody bombed US cities", "no funding" and "lower population density". Although the latter doesn't apply to metro areas, obviously.

(Also, residential three phase power is fairly common except for the brits).
Throughput is proportional to total data size - 50Mb/sec per Tb - and burst capacity above this is severely restricted until you have at least 1Tb of data.

Could not disagree more. We use our Google homes all the time for a variety of things beyond music. One of my favorite is controlling the TV with YouTube TV.
You are right - the amount of throughput you get is based on how much data you store. Whats unintuitive about EFS is you get an "allotment" of throughput. Lets say you have 100MiB of data, you would get 100 MiB of throughput (example numbers). So you read that 100MiB of data, really quickly, and then the next time you read it, EFS is as slow as molasses.

So lets say you are using EFS for application deploys. Your application might only be 50MiB, but if you are doing multiple deploys a day, you might find that your deploy time shoots through the rough after 20 deploys. You find out that you have used up your "EFS" credits and the only way to get more is to store more data on EFS. I believe the first tier is at 100GiB.
This is why I'm never giving them another piece of data for as long as I live. I haven't logged in for years and I blackhole Facebook emails to a folder I scan periodically just in case someone from years ago needs to get in touch with me.

Interestingly enough, these emails occasionally get past my inbox filter, and I have to update my regex. I imagine this kind of circumvention is someone's full time job, which just repels me further from the platform.
There is every chance that the car will say “warning, the firmware is 11 months old and must be updated or the car will not be usable in 30days”

With more and more features being “intelligent” (from driver aid to autonomous features) and the software being more and more complex, cars will ship with huge bug backlogs and critical issues will be discovered along the way (as well as changes to traffic laws, street signs and other things that must be patched in for the car to actually function).

Manufacturers can’t risk having drivers drive around in old versions of the car. It hurts their brand. This (together with a few other other reasons) is why I think car “ownership” will soon be a thing of the past. Already we hear news of models that will never actually be possible to own.
Thats not news! thats facts!
