The defining characteristic of an introvert is that you feel drained being in a social situation. Extroverts feed off the energy of a crowd.

Crowds and social situations can be very different. With a half-dozen friends at a bar? Part of the audience at a concert, or at a football game? Part of a team in some competition? Holiday dinner with distant relatives? Stuck in a pedestrian traffic jam? At a back yard party at a friend's house? Visiting a new meetup group for the first time?
I agree that D sounds like the easiest to market if it’s reliable/effective. It also probably has more of an iceberg effect than the others - more unknowns that you can’t see initially.

PSDs are a hairy format - even people exporting things isn’t always straightforward, and a machine can’t reason the way a person does.

This idea was a pie-in-the-sky goal for a project I worked on ~ 10 years ago, and it was abandoned as too complex to do it reliably, within a reasonable timeframe.

Given that psd’s are just layers of raster graphics (but plausibly just a single layer) I doubt even adobe could make the tool as described, and they have the benefit of ~25 years of knowledge about photoshop and PSDs.
Well, talk about a strawman. In the countries we're talking about, you have actual progressive taxation, and every dollar you take home above approx. $100k gets taxed almost 50%. That's not taxing 400 people, it's taxing the 25 million top earners in the US.

Subscriptions are terrible business models as well. The vast majority of subscriptions work on users that pay but dont use the system. They are not economically efficient at all.
I am tall. If I visited a hypothetical land where they spoke English with the exception that the word "tall" now means "a rapist" I would avoid using the word. Not because of any height related shame but because I don't want anyone thinking I'm a rapist.
Future value = present value * (1 + interest rate) ^ time

FV = PV * (1 + i) ^ t

FV and PV are in dollars, i is a percent, and t is number of years.

We know FV, i and t and can solve for PV.

8,200,000 = PV * (1 + 0.07) ^ 70

PV = 8,200,000 / 1.07 ^ 70

So 72,000 compounded over 70 years at an interest rate of 7% has a future value of 8,200,000.
Have you tried Boxen?[1]

It allows you to automate installing libraries and running scripts by writing Puppet manifests.

Vagrant mostly.

We build a custom vagrant box with dependencies pre-installed, and then run setup on top of that.

Admittedly we don’t have many “tools” like you mentioned - just a couple of shell scripts in the git repo itself.

If you need to install host OS level software I’d just write some shell scripts to automate the steps.
Both of you are right. The market has a very limited view of what's valuable, and physics is one of those things that don't make the cut.
My advice, fwiw: make things more boring and less special. Reduce cleverness and surprises where possible. (I realize this isn't always possible)

Automating on-boarding is possible, but it is usually better to have good docs that breakout into different systems like OSX, windows, Debian/fedora and just have good copy-paste from there. That allows for tweaks to be made more easily when things go wrong, and to update for future devs.

If you really need to automate, write your own installers to do the work inserting code, installing dependencies, etc and expand to support different systems where necessary. This can be as simple as a github repo that you pulldown and run an installer for, that automatically hooks in to the shell and provides an easy path for updates.
You might start with PureScript, which is much smaller and runs in browsers and on Node.

The full original sentence I replied to was this:

“Some people think we're getting too many transplants and that regulating the development of new housing will somewhat curb that”

The “transplants” he is concerned with are those with both the means and legal standing to purchase and drive up demand for new homes. How many illegal immigrants to California fall into that category? So most of the “transplants” that are relevant to this discussion are coming from other US states.
If he wants to deploy it efficiently, without needing to build a bureaucracy around it, he could do what Buffett is doing: donate it to the Gates Foundation. It's not great if you want vanity projects, but if he really wants to do good then it's hard to think of a better way.
I was heavily into reinforcement learning around the turn of the century, and at the time, "Reinforcement Learning - An introduction" (Barto and Sutton) https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/reinforcement-learning was an absolute goldmine for me getting started.

Sarcasm aside it seems like Tesla has operational issues. This coupled with the story a few weeks back about somewhat "slapdash" power module assembly is a bit concerning.

Yes, that's something on our TODO list, but none of our existing customers have expressed mobile as a pain point yet.

If you don't mind elaborating, we're curious what you are looking for that the "platform-native" maps from Apple and Google don't provide (both Google and Apple provide unlimited unlimited free usage on mobile). I (one of the founders) am actually a mobile developer for most of the day, and so far I only have one client that isn't using the built-in maps (Mapbox in their case). They wanted more recent high res satellite imagery and the ability to download areas for offline use. Are there any other use cases we're missing?
It's interesting to watch London implementing stop and frisk policies while practically outlawing all carrying of knives. That doesn't seem to have elicitied much of a reponse from the liberal media in the US of course.

No, I don't view everything in investment and value extraction. I'm actually a very sentimental person, but since writing allows you to think before you type, I like to take the opportunity on HN to write out more objective focused arguments or point of views.

To clarify - the study of systems is not to prove a point of superiority or inferiority or to affirm or deny your value system; it's to observe the features of the system that indicate why things might happen the way they do.

When I say adults shouldn't invest much in friendships, it's not because it's bad for adults to value friendship, but because the investment into friendship yields less results than if they invested it somewhere else.

When talking about systems, it's better to talk about them objectively rather than subjectively, and to consider them from a detached viewpoint. Observation is not the same as association; just because I observe a phenomenon and attempt to write it down doesn't mean I associate with it.

For the goals I stated, I do not have an evaluation about these goals from a worth perspective. I merely point out that those things are the primary long term goals of most adults. There's a lot of others, but those seem to be the most common. I'd be happy to argue why they are, but again, my arguments will come from an objective point of view (the features that going after those goals have that make them so popular) rather than a subjective point of view (what I believe is a worthwhile goal).
I have struggled to work with similar issues in the past (especially the initial part of the presentation) and appreciate the author addressing this. More often than not I go back to the strategy of separating the opinions from the person.

The separation of opinions from the person changes the dynamics in my head. I still find it hard to work with people who don't do that separation. Discussions with them can be tricky. If I am fortunate, I come out of the discussion learning a lot with wider spectrum of things to consider. However in some occasions I am just drained intellectually and emotionally with opinions such as: I have done this before and just trust me.

I feel soft emotional skills are as much important as core intellectual competency of a person. More study/awareness on this front is always welcome!

To be fair, Bezos isn't rich because Amazon makes loads of money and has fat margins. Amazon was loss-making for most of its existence, and probably only became profitable thanks to AWS. He's insanely rich because shareholders don't care about Amazon's current profits, but just like its growth.
Better batteries and better solar panels would be nice... not sure how much it would cost though... Tesla improved the form factor of solar panels, but maybe not so much the efficiency or cost.

Healthcare costs in the US are inflated due to corporate welfare and funny money coming from insurance companies. Similar to the situation with student loans where school prices have risen to match the amount of loan money student are able to borrow.

Also crappy pork-barrel public works projects: roads to nowhere,insane public spending on rural areas, random bets on large public works projects that don't pan out or do anything useful.

Really, it's not that we can't afford to invest in public healthcare. It's that we would have to cut our our politically connected parasites' purse strings, and nobody wants that.

Anyone inspired by this should look into the Giving what we can idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giving_What_We_Can

It's far from easy but they propose to give 10% of earnings. A lot of people who intend to give 'once they're rich' end up with lifestyle creep and never end up giving much and ultimately find it very difficult to make large cuts in their spending. Whereas those who grow up with it and only consider 90% of the extra earnings from promotions of their own, do much better.
The Governor’s Salary for Every US State
His math is a little optimistic when we are talking about "almost all market conditions" and once you start factoring in things that might go wrong, like a couple years of unemployment stretched over a 20 year career.

MMM ignores a ton of statistically common problems (like 4 bouts of unemployment over 20 years).
So, I didn’t actually crash the network itself — that was a result of a misunderstanding between the network ops team and our upstream network provider, plus a miscalculation of how long it might take to completely reload a full route table. But when the network went down, all hell broke loose in the e-mail world.

They didn’t print the story exactly as I had written it, but their editing process probably did make things more clear. And shorter. So, except for the bit about me taking down the network itself, I don’t have any issues with what they published.

The market isnt the ultimate arbiter of what has value.
I respect that, but... I don't know. It's been a mistake in the past to let other peoples' perceptions define who I am. I was just hoping to convince you it's not worth it.

As a closing point, it wasn't until minorities started being proud of their labels that they made significant progress toward equality and justice. There's no reason to tolerate society's perceptions when they're unfair.
Thanks for suggestion.
Yep, agreed, especially with current market conditions (high asset prices and low bond yields). Research Affiliates has an awesome tool that shows expected returns by asset class (https://interactive.researchaffiliates.com/asset-allocation....) and European equity / Emerging Markets equity are the only asset classes expected to yield 4%+ real annual returns over the next 10 years.

Only when there's restricted demand. Because we're in a restricted supply market, pricing is mostly established in based on alternatives. If every property tear down has the same additional cost, then it's probably not going to affect the price.

I'm surprised there was no octopus to represent the bandits.

In all seriousness, this post makes sense to me, as someone who does RL research. However, the intuition behind the concepts could be communicated more clearly.

I'm sure some people react this way, but to me what he describes sounds more like a trait of being over-emotional and a bit immature in dealing with the stress, than being specifically introvert. I don't see how being extrovert would change the situations described, except maybe that person would get into a verbal fight-back to defend it's hurt ego? And that would surely make the situation even worse. From my point of view (and I consider myself very introvert) the only correct answer to someone telling you that you fucked up something is to get over you ego, take the blame (if it's yours) and try to fix the problem asap.
The US and most of Europe do not use comparable approaches to such investments vs China. It will not spur investment in a similar route, the US and Europe will follow a different superior approach.

The US is investing $47 billion into semiconductors: it's being directed by individual corporations rather than command & control style as in China. Intel's R&D budget alone is ~$13 billion every year.

Over the decades the US approach produced: the Internet, Bell Labs, Lucent, Xerox, Motorola, Intel, Fairchild, Cisco, HP, Texas Instruments, AMD, nVidia, Apple, Analog Devices, Micron, Qualcomm, Applied Materials, EMC, IBM, Sun, and a lot more. It's also in part responsible for ARM, which was partially founded by Apple and VLSI.

What has China's approach produced after their truly vast investments spanning 30+ years? Other than endless copy-cat technology. We'll see if their approach can actually lead to the kind of extraordinary innovation the US has been demonstrating for the last 70 years non-stop in tech.

It's not (can't be) a hard+fast rule because it depends on overall traffic at the time. But during normal traffic, it takes 3 legit/counted votes to get on the bottom-to-middle of the front page. In peak times maybe it takes 4-5. Not all votes count equally due to anti-ringvoting and other mechanisms to combat vote manipulation. But nothing gets on the front page without at least one or two legit/counted votes.

> It's not my job.

Fine, but flagging takes much less time than typing a snarky comment.

> By the community? Is this your first time on HN? The community doesn't run HN. The moderators do.

I've been here for at least 10 years, probably 11 and visited pretty much every day for at least the past 5. The moderators know that their job is to serve the interests and the will of the community. Any time they forget that, the community is quick to let them know it, which is fine and healthy. But snarky comments making unfair criticisms just drag the site down and make it less interesting and enjoyable for everyone.

> What's the point of getting so defensive?

Because this site can only continue to survive and improve if good people continually make the effort to contribute positively.

By the way, the comment you were replying to wasn't even being critical; they were being helpful, but for whatever reason you took that as a cue to sneer.

No doubt you'll do as you please, but please do so with an understanding of where you're helping and where you're doing harm.
My view is also that it would be better policy if the california government taxed all homes and generated a certain amount of revenue which they could use to generate certain percentage GW of solar power( A goal they should set for themselves). That way it is fair to all, the problem is also solved at scale which is important as opposed to mandating new home owners only which I am not sure is that efficient

Do not judge your friend, purely based on the "Number of Commits"

Business needs many kind of people.

People who do, people who think, people who get things done.

You mentioned, he is more a Sales and Marketing person - Do you think he is going to be an asset there? Is he the lateral thinker - who is going to turn your story around?

A Business is a combination of many things:

- Market Fitment

- Product Concept & Market Fitment

- Resources (Money, Time)

- Business Development

- Operations

- People

- Ideas

- Hardwork

- Perseverance

- Service & Support

- and 100s of other paramemters

Think, if he is going to be an asset somewhere, where you are not good at (Trust me, no one is good at everything).

Ofcourse, sometimes you have to bite the bullet and let even the best people go, then - do be prepared for the consequences.
I used Pocket only, and main way of using it was to discover new things.
