I'd like to add two more points - unit economics, and bottoms up market analysis. And these are helpful to founders, these 2 give an important insight into viability of business before you start the multi year grind in to make your business work -

Unit economics - what it'll take to make this work with healthy profit margins? This is crucial in case of online-offline startups, infra heavy products, or hardware products. May not be critical in consumer startups until they start monetizing.

Bottoms-up analysis of market - what will be your CAC (cost to acquire customers), ARPU/LTV (avg. rev per user/lifetime value) etc.

Both of these things are quantifiable and it'll answer an important Q - how much money will it take for the biz to reach whatever milestones that are decided.
Or one of the ill-advised "ThinkPad" branded "business tablets" like the ThinkPad 8 or 10. You're right that Lenovo have never shipped a workstation class ThinkPad laptop with Bay Trail, but their attempts to extend the ThinkPad brand have definitely led them to ship some Atom-based duds.

I'm going to extend OP the benefit of the doubt on the model name here and say this: it sucks that Lenovo have diluted the "ThinkPad" brand and it sucks that they didn't remove the bad models from their Linux compatiblity list.

On the flip side, I think ThinkPad workstation laptops (T-series and above) are still safe for Linux. Just avoid the convertibles and tablets as well as the budget-range Edge series, which are frankly bad computers overall.
I agree, but I think the situation is going to have to get even more untenable before that becomes an option, politically.
Philly VCs want 3x, I pressed this q on a panel in Philly, they literally spelled out that they want founders to show them a validated formula where they insert $10mm into adwords or something, press Scale button, wait a couple years, $100mm IPO of which they get 30%. It just didn't really jive with what I know about tech and hypergrowth startups.
To me that's almost the exact definition of wealth: not the amount of money that you have, but the fact that you have the freedom to do whatever you want to do - and fail hard at it - with no (or little) negative consequence. When people talk about "living the dream", that's what it means to me: not the life of the idle rich, but the freedom to try and fail - and hopefully succeed eventually - without ending up destitute or dependent on a salary to live (as most of us are).
I actually agree with blaming Lenovo here, to a degree. While OP is incorrect about the ThinkPad workstation series, which can't have had the c-state bug as it never shipped with an Atom-based processor, Lenovo have extended the ThinkPad brand to a lot of computers (Edge, ThinkPad 8/10 "business tablets" / convertibles, etc.) that are not only not very Linux compatible but are also bad computers overall.

>I started learning Rust over the weekends and I think the second edition "The Rust Programming Language" is among the best introductory books on a programming language I have read (well half way so far).

I'm genuinely curious (this is a straightforward question): have you personally gotten applications you've written to compile yet, or are you still learning theoretically?

(I haven't used rust, but have read a few comments about a high learning curve.)
Yes, Godel used Cantor's method of diagonalization in his proof. Turing also used it on the halting problem. Penrose talks about this in "The Emperor's New Mind." Cantor rocked the Casbah. Smart people saw it and used it.

If it were bifurcated, pressure in the luxury segment would not affect the working-class segment. But it does. Formerly very-low-income apartments get slapdash kitchen renovations (if even) and rent to professionals for $2500. The Bay Area is rife with luxury cars parked at the seediest-looking apartment complexes. I learned early in my apartment search that essentially any apartment with a sligtly-below-luxury price and good interior photos but no exterior photos is one of these front-line gentrification units. Un-renovated crappy apartments in good locations are often listed for more than luxury glass and steel skyscrapers in merely decent ones.

Everyone is spilling over into the housing that previously served a socioeconomic level (or two) below, except those at the bottom who have nowhere to go but tents.

In an ideal world, new housing would most directly target those in need, but in the world we live in, the money for luxury towers is chomping at the bit to get started while the money for signficant subsidized construction is pending a literal revolution. A greater proportion of tech migrants living in new luxury housing is a smaller proportion bidding up formerly affordable housing.
As everyone here is saying the merger would create too much concentration and not enough competition, but that's not the justification that the White House put forward. They said national security which seems far-fetched.

A federal structure is a means to an end, not the goal itself. If it doesn’t serve the purpose we want then we should change it.

In any case, even if you take the state as the unit that needs to be balanced, my point stands: you can’t balance “the minority” by picking some arbitrary minority and giving them more power.
2 Ways to Convert Videos to MP4 Format
I have reviewed books, and the input I gave all been to a deaf man's ear. comments are collected in a word document and it feels the author never got any of them as even the code examples still contained issues I pointed out during the writing process.

While some of the authors really put effort into it, I do not believe the quality of the books is of a very high standard. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere...

If you have a very rectangular shape then the lip would have to be large.

Stop for a moment next time you walk in an urban environment. Look for circular utility covers you see in your urban environment as opposed to squaed ones. Look at the features of the circular ones vs the non-circular ones.

One of the reasons this myth irritates me so much is that everyone is so certain that they know exactly the answer but their actual daily experience doesn't line up with the results at all.

I've heard several people offer explanations from a geometric safety option (which is attractive for free-standing covers) to the simplicity of manufacturing (e.g., that it's very easy to make circular molds and get even density compared to square molds) to simply what the contractor suggested. I've also heard people suggest that metal cylindrical templates were something very common to manufacture for a variety of industrial uses.

> many drivers drive for multiple ride share services

This has absolutely been my experience in a city where both have operated for awhile. Things may be different in cities where one service is newer.

Drivers may express a preference for one or the other, but ultimately they drive for whichever one earns them more income at a given time of day.
What would bother me is the idea of two stories

Story one:

High cholesterol --> higher rates of plaque deposition -> heart disease.

Story two:

Inflammation --> plaque deposition that is highly sensitive to cholesterol levels --> heart disease.

No Inflammation --> no plaque deposition --> no heart disease.

If story one is true, inflammation is unimportant. If story two is true then inflammation is what's important and going after cholesterol levels is treating a secondary cause instead of the primary cause. One gets fooled by the dose/disease relationship in the context of inflammation.
I'm just not sure what you're responding to. Is anyone here saying or even implying that four years is cruel? Is anyone feeling sorry for the doctor?
I don't disagree with you, but there is zero chance of any meaningful improvement in that situation.

You may see reductions in the use of opaque LLCs and other structures for laundering money via real property, but even excluding that, most urban centers land markets are controlled by a small group of property owners.

These folks are very politically powerful. I can't think of a city where the city administration isn't dependent on the local property bigwigs.

I believe it's less the number of claims (though from all the stories, I'd give them 50-50 on being an outlier) and more the seniority of the claims.

If a large org has junior employees harassing other employees, that's bad.

If the CEO and executive level is actively participating in and covering for same, that's organizational policy.
No no no, you see, by making minorities safer we must then be making the majority feel less safe! Safety is a zero sum game after all.

I attribute SpaceX and Tesla love to the "ask a kindergartner what they want to be" phenomenon.

Everyone, regardless of field, can relate to rockets and cars.

Far fewer people would relate to, say, optimizing insurance benefit payments.
I'm not certain, that's why I asked the question in the first place.

I'm not sure what features I would look for because the lip on a rectangular cover would be under the lid. How do I know that the rectangular covers have sufficiently large lips to prevent the lid from falling in? I'm willing to accept that in some cases the lids are rectangular and there is a risk of them falling in.
How did you come to that conclusion?
>If it were bifurcated, pressure in the luxury segment would not affect the working-class segment. But it does.

If the market isn't bifurcated as you say then building lots of lower rent units will bring down the rents in the luxury segment. Great for everyone!

>In an ideal world, new housing would most directly target those in need

What you're arguing for is a removal of the poor from certain parts of the city they currently exist in. It's a purely political decision and an ugly one at that. We don't need an ideal world or a revolution to build and maintain affordable housing.
Well maybe in some cases the risk of the lid falling in is acceptable. Or maybe there are other mitigations in place.
In Perl 6 regexes are a type of method, and you can use them in grammars which are a type of class. (You can use them on their own as well)

Which means you can subclass grammars, compose in regexes with roles, and have parameterized regexes.

The syntax has also had an overhaul to make it more consistent with itself as well as the rest of Perl 6. Since you can embed Perl 6 code, some features of other regular expression engines haven't been implemented as they aren't needed.

The result of using a regex or grammar is also now a parse tree rather than True/False or the matched substring.

I generally recommend reading the code for JSON::Tiny::Grammar as a quick example of what it is like. https://github.com/moritz/json/blob/master/lib/JSON/Tiny/Gra...
I work exclusively on embedded GPUs these days, so I was surprised to read this. It's easy to repurpose FP32 hardware to at least support FP16 without reduced performance.

> But is this really a liberal vs. conservative issue? I've heard Berkeley has similar NIMBYism ...

Well if we take the words "conservative" and "liberal" literally, then a landed gentry trying to keep the status quo that advantages them is conservative almost by definition. While people wishing to permit other things are liberal -- at least on that issue.

But whether that maps onto the American tribal labels of "conservative" and "liberal" is a different matter. As far as I know, Republicans and Democrats are both split on these issues.

Ask HN: Open source microcontroller hardware?
Are there any RISC-V microcontrollers to fit the same niche as the Atmega328 or the like? I am personally only interested in processors with the full suite of peripherals and flash.

If not, why not? I think some people are working on "full" computer chips, but there is a huge market for microcontrollers too.
Why Do You Need to Start a BBW Hookup Relationship?
I meant the downvote and accompanying reply I got on the initial comment I made where I asked the question "How portable is WireGuard to BSD, Minix, Plan9, etc.". Even if he did not do the downvote, a comment like the one he left triggers an automatic flurry of downvotes.

He claims something about "bad security advice". But really what is going on is he is telling people what software to use again, and what software not to use.

I mention I am using some software, for a purpose he does not know (no encryption in fact required for my use) without naming the software, and he posts some inane comment about writing such software being "easy". I am not the author of the software in question, I believe he is talented software author, and I really dont care how easy it was for him to write.

What I care about is that being small in size, I can work with the source code easier. What I care about, the things about software I value, is not "security advice". Its what I care about.

Of course what he cares about, the software he chooses to endorse, is security advice. I do not care what software he likes or doesnt like. But he will not spare us his opinions. Because he is here to "give advice".

I do not endorse software. I rarely name the software I am using. I might describe it generally. While I may have different preferences and make different choices, I certainly do not try to put down other users choices in software. Other users specify software by name, providing links and wax poetic about it. The "security expert" says nothing.

I make a comment about software I am using, and the qualities of software I care about (small, portable, fast, flexible), without naming the software, and suddenly we have (as he claims) a "bad security advice" alert.

Never mind that the point of the comment is to ask if WireGuard is portable, so I can try using it.

I find the idea that someone is actively trying to indiscriminately control what software HN readers use to be insulting. If advice or recommendatons are sought, then requests for advice or recommendations will be made. But when someone is trying to supress or discredit the informed choices of users who are neither seeking (nor giving) advice then that is truly pathetic.

One would hope that reasonable persons would be above this sort of behavior.

This whole episode showed how important Qualcom is for United States national security. It still looks like a potential acquisition target with a price tag set by Broadcom. If Intel acquires Broadcom (thus making it an American company) then it may go after Qualcom. Otherwise, Intel or someone with deep pockets may also try to acquire Qualcom directly.

How? PRNGs come to mind, but they need a true random seed - something like a lava-lamp, but who controls the lava-lamp?

Doesn’t a distributed, transparent system naturally lead to a deterministic system?
It does not. Only one thing leads to lower rent in these cities -- real estate busts.

There are probably two dozen residential or mixed use skyscrapers alone being erected in Manhattan. The annual rents of 80%+ of these units probably exceed the median household income in Manhattan, unless they are directly subsidized.

The rents will come down when rates go up and overleveraged developers go bankrupt.
Judges being a great example. There are huge incentives to influence them, but they’re generally pretty hard to buy off.

Unless he is smoking or toking in your presence or in public , I don't see how that's your concern.

I think the bigger problem is people exporting their own sensitivities out to public under the garb of social norm and culling everyone who doesn't prescribe to it.

Agreed, every driver I’ve asked is on both apps and switches freely to make money.

They might stick with one for a bit to get certain bonuses but there’s no long term loyalty for any of them.
I know many lotteries issue winnings as annuities (often with a lump-sum alternative, I know). But I’m surprised they don’t switch entirely to annuities simply because it avoids all the bad PR the lottery gets from people who mismanage the money. It’s probably better for the economy too as it’s harder to irresponsibly spend $20k every month for the rest of their lives than a $10m one-off payment: thus maximising utility of money.
