Where I live in SF, it's pretty hard to avoid the hills if I want to ride back to my apartment from downtown, even if I ride the Wiggle. Unless I take a rather circuitous route, there just isn't a way to get around having to go up more than 250 feet. I get the exercising bit, but I already get quite a bit of a workout on one of the Jump bikes.

The dockless bit has been a very big draw for me because the Ford bikes do not have docks out in my neighborhood and do not plan to in the near future. My neighborhood is also somewhat NIMBY: the local merchants association has been very opposed to the BRT project that is going to happen on the main street through the neighborhood because they claim that the decrease in car parking spaces and traffic will cause them to lose business. I wouldn't be surprised if they would resist bike docks as well. For now, dockless is a good short-term solution.
Came here to comment this. Seriously, HN, relax. This is like the introductory blogpost, how is there supposed to be a meatspace hardware implementation yet?
I am still somewhat suprised there are still not relatively simple filesystems that don't do this. Make it the one feature it does and does properly. Adding enterprise features will just increase development time (and cost) and add bugs. Basically an online archival filesystem, that's how most people use their home computers.

Requirements:

1. Checksumming on all files

2. Minimise assumptions of ram correctness

3. Disc replication (soft raid 1)

Out of scope:

* Snapshotting

* Subvolumes

* Deduplication

As much as I love subvolumes and snapshotting, I feel like CoW probably adds too much complexity to make it (easily) reliable. Honestly I don't know why turning off CoW on BTRFS disables checksumming, so if anyone can shed some light as to why this is, feel free to point out that my requirements are far more complex than I think.
Both my friend and I had drives with the click of death problem. It could be a 1 in 10,000 event, or it could be that the rate was higher than 1%. I remember it being a very common problem at the time.
I think you may underestimate the impact e-bikes are going to have on major (non-car centric) cities. They'll likely reshape cities significantly

That is literally what people said about Segways.

> I don’t see why any of the big tech companies will turn in outrageously bad numbers this quarter.

Really? You don’t see why FB may post a decline in users, after all the pushback they’re getting? Why Twitter might enter a spiral soon? These just seem impossible to you?

The rest of your comment seems like what people could easily have said in September of 1929. Not saying a crash like that is coming, but it literally means nothing that things are doing well today, it’s about whether the trajectory we’re on is sustainable in the long-term.
Of course not. But using fss lacking these features the backups end up 'faithfully' (and uselessly) propogating bitrotted files.

That is correct. To give insight as to why it seems a little too close to hopeless, I feel the only solutions physically possible are just twisting words to make it seem okay but the hard facts remain at the end of the day. I say this maybe preemptively to your response, but I say it respectfully (or rather with no intension to disrespect your response) and, for my own health, wish to be proven wrong.

For me in the end, it's those realities that come pay me a visit when the mind wanders. To add to it, I use to relish the fun and imagination a wandering mind brought to my day. Now it's nothing more than a pain point.
The problem is often that those outpost were only for mercantile purposes and left not much behind. There has been some European metal artifacts found deep into NA and indicate prior contact / pillaging of those outposts. We have Vikings archives from Greenland that survived to this day, but not the other outposts. Evidences tend to show Vikings sailed far into Labrador, Baffin and the St-Lawrence river, but never did much and Inuits took everything they left behind. Basques were interested in fishes and whales, not settlements and again left nothing.

If we exclude prehistory, there is only a 130 years "gap" between known European activities in the "New World". Vikings/Normans came well into the 14th century and Basques (from ports close to Nor[se]-man-dy) came in the early 16th century.

If you include Cabot in the late 15th century. IMHO that looks like a rather small gap to "rediscover" things. At that point I wonder if it's harder to prove that the knowledge was fully lost or prove that it wasn't.
There's also another option. Many Chromebooks and Chromeboxes allow you to install a new bios and run a normal Linux distro without ChromeOS at all. Handy if you like the cheap hardware but aren't interested in ChromeOS. See https://johnlewis.ie

Don't... Most jobs suck. There's no way around it. Most jobs have aspects that you just don't want to do. That's why you get paid rather than you pay. You need to figure out how to make your current job fit your needs, financial and psychological.

One thing you can do is to decide how much it takes for you to retire in a more affordable part of the country and work until you reach it at the fastest rate.

Starting a successful business is harder than what you imagine and you'll be surprised how quickly it sucks up your money. Don't put your self in a situation where you have to find whatever job comes along because you are desperate for money.
I made a similar career switch about 6 years ago. Profile is a bit different (got an online M.S. degree) so take all with a grain of salt.

1. Focus on your LinkedIn profile. Update constantly so the notifications percolate. Recruiter approached me for the first job and all subsequent jobs not through my network. Github is also an avenue but not nearly as popular.

2. React, react, react. Got my first job because the company was switching to Angular from Flex and I’d built two projects with Angular. It was new and popular at the time. Currently react is the hot thing (and I personally love it). I don’t say this as just opinion, it came from a recruiter I respect. She is seeing enormous demand for React, to the point where Angular devs are getting passed over since they have no react experience, which is a bit silly since good devs will pick up the tool, but nonetheless what she is seeing. She’s the one who said react, react, react, and has told me to steer away from anything else except maybe python and computer vision.

3. Algorithms and code puzzles. You may be able to find the dream shop that doesn’t require this, but I’ve yet to interview there. It will also open up the number of companies you can apply to. Many places don’t care if you have a CS degree or any degree, but they do care if you can play the depth first search, dynamic programming game. Friend prepped for 3-4 months and is on the interview circuit with his first $300k offer in hand. He’s senior with a big co name on his resume so not apples to apples, but he still spent the time to prep. The whiteboard pissing contests are going strong. This may be tougher without the academic background but worth doing as much of as you can.

4. Try to get in at a lot of places and don’t get discourage by rejections. There is so much randomness. One place will say you are awesome and the next won’t return your call after a phone screen. You aren’t broken, the process is.

So linkedin, react projects, study, and perseverance. My two cents. Good luck!
Correct. WebRTC is just a specification for an API on top of SRTP+ICE+SCTP.
Derek Sivers had a blog entry the other year where he suggested finding a tolerable, well-paying job, then a passion. And then keep your passion as an evening/weekend distraction rather than trying to turn it into a financially viable thing you can live off. Earn money from the job, not your hobby.

Otherwise you end up forcing your art/passion through a sieve of viability (struggling to sell your music, for example), or becoming disillusioned with an otherwise unremarkable job.
Would also add that the era of “easy money” even predates 2000 and the dot-coms. You could trace this back to the Southeast Asian financial crisis of 1997, and just generally all the emerging market crises of the mid to late 90’s (Mexico, South America, Southeast Asia, Russia).

One of the reasons we got the dot-com bubble, even though the Fed was aware of it, was that they were more afraid of instability from the emerging markets than a domestic bubble. That fear was certainly justified, but nonetheless the dot-com bubble was still enormous.
The median family can't remotely afford the median house; we've left the fundamental value way behind.
I noticed that when I was reading and kind of went "huh?". It's simultaneously a strange error and one which would be easy to avoid, so I can see why you say he lies. It also worries me that if the pattern were to repeat on other parts of the book that I don't have any knowledge about, I wouldn't recognize them off hand. It's far from ideal.

On the other hand, I think the book is full of good analysis, the overall narrative is compelling. I don't think it really warrants treatment as a textbook, more as any other mass market non-fiction...subject to factual scrutiny, but worthy of intellectual engagement as well. he cites enough true things and gives enough examples that the point would stand alone if the factual errors named were simply removed.

Now, I don't condone lying, and I certainly am not pleased to see that post you linked. I am also sufficiently interested with the philosophical content of the book that I still recommend it, though with a slightly tempered sense of enthusiasm...sigh.

I know you claim to be skeptical but see evidence to the contrary. You're not skeptical of yourself and of your limited knowledge and your not skeptical of your need to be skeptical (there are no extraordinary claims in this discovery).

I see no evidence that you are responding in good faith to any flaws in your reasoning, you're continuing to make an argument from incredulity. So I'm sorry if you're not a creationist (not as sorry as I'd be if you were), but when you look like a duck, argue like a duck and respond like a duck I start getting that duck vibe.

How about you respond to the points in your post:

> Not to be that guy, but I’m really starting to question the accuracy of dating techniques when they publish finds like this.

Why when they publish finds like this? There is nothing extraordinary about these finds, they sit comfortably inside what we know of human migrations.

> This finding is only significant because of the age, but have we ever verified our dating techniques over 5k years? 10k years?

You're arguing against archaeology, geology, history and nuclear physics here. Do you think all these branches of science are being dishonest?

> It seems further unlikely that such a bone from, 85k y/ago as they say, would be so close to the surface.

Why do you find this surprising? There a quite a few geological process that can result in this. Nearly all fossils we find are quite close to the surface.
You can run LXC on Android, and have been able to for several years. So on Android enough of the kernel features are there (though to be honest you only really need a pid+mnt namespaces and most people wouldn't tell the difference).
Bootstrap is not just about making layout, it has so many ready to use components. Which make your buttons, forms look better and give you components like modals, popover etc

The impression I got is that Halted really prices stuff up to about the maximum of what they can get away with. But still, I do appreciate them existing.

Someone is inevitably going to say: "Well, they need the prices that high in order to pay costs." But I don't think the person with that line of argument has thought their argument through deeply.

Various things start happening when prices get up to gouge level: inventory starts getting stolen by bitter people who otherwise would have been customers, or inventory simply doesn't move as fast, and customers aren't as happy and tend not to be as supportive. My most recent purchase there was a small glass lens (smaller than a mini Altoids mint... yes, mini, not regular size) and it was an average sized one, not unique, from a random bag of similar sized ones, not any certain spec for any specific purpose, and they got $8 for that. Weird stuff had all their lenses bought up the week before that, go figure.

Weird Stuff, on the other hand, was dirt cheap and very cheerful about everything, and their customers were huge fans, from what I know. Halted... I do still like them, but they sure are grumpy and those prices, sigh.

Still, maybe if Weird Stuff had higher prices (slightly higher... not Halted-level higher, mkay?) they could have survived and moved nearby? I guess we'll never know.

"You see, the stakes are high – I’m desperate for even a minimum wage job. This is in spite of the fact I have several university degrees.

With my final PhD draft due in a week, I have degrees in economics, sociology and politics, research skills in qualitative and quantitative methods, teaching experience at universities, a decent publication record, and a significant conference list of presentations. But now I need lipgloss and cafe connections to get a job.

It might be my own fault for having bought into the lie – study hard, get a good job. While I was always warned that full-time academic roles are difficult to attain, I was told that a PhD is an asset. We can get casual research work until we are qualified or, more accurately, connected enough to step into a full-time position. Employers outside the university will value the transferrable skills and critical-thinking capabilities.

This, I have now discovered, is far from the truth. Employers external to the university don’t want a PhD, they want five years of industry experience. "

The quote is irrelevant, it's taken from a section about radiocarbon dating which wasn't used here. They used Uranium series dating which according to your own source:

I would like to see the data broken down by startup profile. I suspect that the ideal age differs between B2B and B2C startups.

B2C have smaller chance of success, but the success is bigger. Ideal B2C founder is young. Most of enormous tech successes (e.g. Facebook, Google) are B2C companies founded by founders before 30.

B2B have higher chance of success, but the success is smaller. Ideal B2B founder is middle-aged. There are more succesfull B2B startups than B2C starups, what increases the total mean.

i can see that being a tourist in LA could be a little frustrating, especially on a bike. the major attractions like the getty, venice beach, k-town, hollywood, the tar pits/moma, the disney concert hall, disneyland, the huntington gardens, the forum, the hollywood bowl, beverly hills, LA live, the zoo/science center, watts towers, the sunset strip, malibu, etc. can be annoyingly far apart.

but as a resident i almost never do that kind of ping-ponging around town. you can find good food, drinks, and entertainment in each neighborhood so i typically hit up only one area of town on a given evening, depending on which friends i'm with (or visiting).

berkeley is nice and chill and bike-friendly, but it's also tiny compared to LA (18 vs 500 sq. miles).
Not sure. However theres various endpoints offering "dns looking glass" service that allow pipelined HTTP/1.1 queries.1

With this "DNS over HTTPS", given a page of HTML containing pointers to various domains, using a simple script one can filter out all the domainnames it contains, format them into HTTP requests, send them to the "dns-lg" endpoint over a single connection, parse the response and append the answers to /etc/hosts or a local authoritative zonefile. Then one can browse the page, including following any remote URLs without having to do any DNS lookups.

1 For example,

https://dns.google.com/resolve?name=example.com.
