> I'm assuming OpenStreetMap provides the vector data.

Yes and no. The OSM project provides a database dump. You can download it all ( https://planet.openstreetmap.org/ ). But it's not really in a format that you can draw maps from without processing (look at https://switch2osm.org/ to see how).

> OpenStreetMap doesn't charge to use their service commercially iirc

The map images on openstreetmap.org are run by unpaid volunteers, in a donated server space, and is for the OSM project and mappers to use. If some group starts hammering the service, then they'll block you, commerical or non-commerical is not relevant. There is no guarantees of service. If you want guarantees, pay someone :)

There are a lot of fast userspace networking projects that bypass the kernel precisely to be faster. Which approach is better is up for debate but the kernel is definitely not faster in all cases.

You beat me to it. I’ll add, that as a consultant at least, people respect your advice more if they don’t view you as “cheap”.
Interesting! Myself, I have a native language and I'm also fluent in English, and basically all of my thoughts are expressed conversationally (I also have conversations in most of my dreams, though of course they have many other components).

I'm curious - if you don't think in language, do you have any way of explaining how you think about abstract concepts?

1. Which years?

2. I've seen it happen countless times. With the exception of pg himself, who displayed an allergy to politics or anything that got in his way of attempting to discover truth, I believe every HN moderator his sit firmly on the same side of the political spectrum and culture wars.

Being humans, most have a propensity to ignore inflammatory or factually incorrect comments they agree with while flagging those they don't as "generic" or flamewar inducing. I noted dozens of examples of this behavior but the ROI on going through them is almost certainly poor or negative. The moderation response related to major controversies of the past 2 years has been clear. Which pages were artificially weighted was very poorly correlated with the intellectual honesty of their contents.

3. I was indeed prevented immediately upon making the comment in my profile, and met with a message that I was commenting too quickly. Even after waiting a full hour, I was still blocked from commenting.

Interestingly another story recently asked about YC's GDPR compliance and was weighted so heavily that it sank below much older stories with fewer upvotes. Comments didn't outnumber votes, ether.

#3 is actually related to #2 as YCs deepening economic and political investment in an authoritarian state increases the likelihood of a future HN where comments challenging certain militaristic, ethno-nationalist propaganda will be flagged as "generic political arguments" while repeating the propaganda itself is allowed.

My view of YC's ethics is not so poor that I think this is an immediate risk, but money does tend to bend politics over time. In the early days, few expected Yahoo would one day assist in uncovering rights activists so they could be executed, and yet they did.

Not even there yet (the 40 years old limit), but close enough to agree with most points in the article. The one interesting change is that you lose "meaning" now (described as milestones in the article), which is... weird. I'm still unsure how to cope. Creating "meaning" for others (either your kids/relatives or just complete strangers) seems to be a valid way forward, but I am contemplating with the idea you don't really need "meaning" in life. Just living it might be enough. Not sure though.

"Sus" (the practice of searching people purely because a police officer decides they're suspicious, which ends up invariably distorted by racial biases) ended years ago. New laws about untargetted searches are of course controversial.

London, like the entire rest of England forbids carrying weapons in public without a lawful purpose. The person from this article had, as I understand it, a lawful purpose. It also isn't generally legal to sell the weapons which the law says have no lawful purpose, such as brass knuckles, and various weapons familiar from martial arts movies. So you can't easily end up owning them and not realising you won't be allowed to carry them anywhere.

If you take your big fishing knife to go out drinking and there's a fight so the police are called, then yeah, there's a good chance you'll get done for having the knife without a lawful purpose - ain't no fishing inside the bar, should have left that at home.
Here in the Netherlands they actually (for a time) limited Nutrilon sales to everyone as the legal way even was profitable: Buy the stuff here from the store, take it with you in your luggage (and simply pay for the fees) to China and sell it there. The result being empty shelves and people with kids not being able to buy it. As far as I know there was some theft involved but not more than the legal buyouts.

He's saying that the majority of immigrants who are buy houses are Chinese. I'm not arguing for or against that by the way. For places where this already took place, Toronto and Victoria Canada.
The sane behavior would be to not autoplay video in tabs that open in the background. (I thought this was the default behavior in Firefox, but maybe not?) Other than that, the only solution is some kind of heuristic. If the reason someone clicks on the page is to play a video, it should autoplay: the click registers my intent. If the page serves some other purpose (channels on Youtube come to mind), nothing should autoplay.
I'm not saying that's the best way to do it, just that it's how we did it back then. Of course there might be better ways to do it. I was in charge of exploring this way (which we didn't end up keeping, as I hint at at the end of the post), and thought it would be valuable to share what I learned with people.

Regarding your latter point, as I mentionned, a pattern fails silently if it doesn't match a log entry while parsing incoming entries. That's why Graylog requires you to load a log entry example when creating an extractor, and let you try it while defining the pattern (with the "Try" button next to the pattern input field). I didn't put enough emphasis on this feature in my post, though.

If you give clients a low introductory rate, when you raise your rate to “normal” they will feel ripped off instead of grateful that you previously gave them a deal. Example: charging a startup 50% of normal “until they get an investor”.

For me it was the acceptance that death is closer than I would like to think (i.e. It can happen easily and quickly without any kind of accident and the chances of it happening before I live as much as I've already lived are pretty high) that kicked in, not the realization it's inevitable.

Prop 13 is the coup de grace that exacerbates all the other issues that contribute to demand outstripping supply by removing the tax pressure that should've been incenting more density and liquidity in the housing market.

Seattle's real estate market has some but not all of the same pressures: too prescriptive of zoning that requires single family homes for no good reason and booming economies adding jobs at a faster rate than housing stock. But Seattle builds faster and taller in the median case; though the tall building seems to go through waves of either being all apartments or all condos.

Seattle has built enough housing supply that rents actually dropped earlier this year (https://www.seattletimes.com/business/real-estate/seattle-ar...) and the median clearing price is less than half of the San Francisco rate.
It's not "complete crap" given that (a) it's in the paperwork they are given at signup time, and (b) if they are genuinely dissatisfied, they can downgrade back to basic membership and get refunded retroactively to the start of the membership year for the difference in cost of the higher membership.
I was like that and thought that too. What I discovered now that I am in my 40s, is that my own mortality is not the problem (yet anyway). Age has taken some of its toll, but not enough to be able to really imagine old age. Like too many people I wrote about turning 40: http://markos.gaivo.net/articles/40.html

It's mortality and fragility of closed ones that I have difficulty dealing with. An unexpected death last year really made me aware how relatively few times I am likely to still see my mother on our current 2-3 weeks schedule. Even optimistic hopes put this number in only few hundreds.

This was nice. It wasn't a great piece, but it was well-done. Great voice and cogent flow. Far too often that's not the case any more, sadly. I liked it.

I just turned 53, and the thesis the author finally makes resonates with me. In your 40s, you are "done". You aren't finished. It's not that you can't change your life and do wonderful things. It's that a great degree of mystery and worrying about your future has now concluded. When you're 20 and think about doing some incredible thing, it's almost like it's a different person, perhaps some super-cool version of yourself. When you're 50 and think about doing an incredible thing, it's you. You know who you are.

It's much better at 50 than it was at 30, oddly enough. For me, my mid-20s through my late 30s was a bit of a struggle.

There is one major downside to pushing past 40: prejudice and patronizing by young people. It's natural in your teens to turn to your peers for validation and for it to start being terribly important who the cool kids are. For a lot of people in their teens, twenties, and beyond, they look at older folks and the major feeling that comes across their face is "You're not really hitting on much, are you grandpa?" You can see it in their looks, you can hear it in their voice. It's not everybody, mind you, but it's enough to notice.

My stepdad was a WWII vet, a cranky old guy. I loved him. But I realized after getting to know him for many years that he avoided younger people. It wasn't that he didn't like them. He liked sharing ideas and discussing things with everybody. He just had better things to do than put up with their patronizing prejudicial bullshit.

When I finally figured it out, it didn't make sense to me. Now that I'm on "the other side", so to speak, I can see where he's coming from. I don't agree with his decision, but it's understandable.

Still, overall, after 40 life sort of opens up again, like it did in your teenage years, only this time you don't have all the psychological baggage you had back in the day. I'm looking forward to seeing where all of this goes!
> What we lack in processing power we make up for in maturity, insight and experience.

I struggled with this in my last software development position. Most of the developers I worked with were in their 20s. They just assumed because of my age, I was a 'senior' developer / all knowing and capable of coding circles around everyone.

But I'm only an average developer, as I get older I learn & gain wisdom but don't feel automatically more productive writing lines of code. Maybe I make less mistakes so that translates to productivity. Yet, I struggle with the software written by younger and probably smarter people - less experienced - but who managed with great intellect to get garbage working our of sheer willpower + brute force.
>Forcing your enemy to invest heavily in such key sectors is pretty stupid.

Generally this makes sense, but not in China’s case where they require all foreign ventures to team with a Chinese company who then steals the foreign partner’s IP. No way a Western semiconductor company could set up a fab in China without creating a competitor 5-10yrs later using their own IP against them.

Thus the Wassenaar Arrangement makes sense, it prevents any Western semiconductor company from gaining a short term advantage over its competitors by leveraging Chinese cost efficiencies, incentivizing all of them to self-destructively follow suit.
watching sports generally is boring, much better to spend that time actually doing some
> it is obvious that the United States is capable and willing to throttle China on these "already substantial, but heading for decline things-that-matter markets"

that is not very smart. the ZTE drama is a wake up call for Chinese, the message is loud and clear - US products are not reliable in term of its supply, it can be cut at any time for some stupid political reasons ordered by a moronic US president like Trump.

if you look at the whole story, it is push the lower limit of the business IQ -
- forcing your competitor to invest in high profit sectors
- telling your customers to rely on less American products by convincing them that the supply won't be reliable

US deserves a better president.

> Crowds and social situations can be very different.

Indeed.

> With a half-dozen friends at a bar?

I have enjoyed many such situations like this many a time. Usually playing pool, and having beer. The beer helps immensely. I still felt I needed some peace and solitude during the event and regularly went away for 5 or 10 minutes to 'recharge'.

> Part of the audience at a concert, or at a football game?

I deliberately choose not to go to concerts very often - I despise going to areas with 100's or even 1000's of other human beings milling around - although if it's a particularly compelling concert I will make an effort, and mostly enjoy said concert, but look forward to getting away from all the hubub. I am not into football.

> Holiday dinner with distant relatives?

I enjoy that, but still very quickly feel drained at such and regularly go away to peace and quiet for 5 minutes and return partially renewed enough to continue until the next recharge.

> Stuck in a pedestrian traffic jam?

This is a very stressful and frustrating situation.

> At a back yard party at a friend's house?

I enjoy such, but will still go away for 5 minutes to recharge enough until the next time I need to recharge.

> Visiting a new meetup group for the first time?

This has always filled me with the utmost dread. Even now in my late 40's

There are glaring optimization issues.

Over 6MB of those 10MB is just one bloated photo [1]. It can be compressed down to 1-2MB. Moreover, if it was a proper responsive image, it would not be larger than 100-200 KB for most readers because a good JPEG compressor can pull 2 bits per pixel [2].

Ironically, image optimization apps don't get that much coverage.

Most compilers I'm aware of gets compiled by themselves. I think it's great for two things:

1) Show how serious the compiler is - compiler code tends to be complicated
2) Free real life testing

It was for me. I buried several dear and close family members.

Oddly enough, this is an advantage in life that combat soldiers have that most modern people don't. Once you get to know and like somebody and they die -- right in front of you -- it changes you. Do that a dozen times and you realize that nobody's getting out of here alive. It's just a matter of when you punch your ticket.

I don't fear death like I used to. I think about what having a "good death" means: how I want to experience my last days. I also find that reminding myself of my imminent death is a good way to stay focused on my mission.

Put differently, when I was younger all I thought about was myself. Now that I'm older and have watched people come and go, I realized that for all intents and purposes, I never existed. I'm just here an extremely brief moment to hang out and see some stuff. To the universe, I'm like a gnat. (I half-joke with my friends and tell them I'm an anti-solipsist. It's more true than joke)

Combine that with the second great truth about life, dying is one of the most natural processes there is. Everything dies. No matter who can think of, they've either already died or are about to die. It is no more unusual than breathing. Or sleeping. From the outside, it looks like some people do it well and some poorly.

These two things are not depressing as long as I keep my focus outside myself. What have I decided my mission in life is? How's that mission going? Who am I helping? How can I help them better today? You stop looking at yourself and start looking out in the distance, the rest of this stuff is motivational, not depressing.

ADD: One of the implications of this line of thinking is that people in pre-industrial societies, where there were large families, lots of exposure to death growing up, and perhaps a more solid external value system instilled in childhood? They may have had a much better opportunity at a happier life early on than we do.
