I've always wanted to do this. I have friends that I havnt spoken to in a while who I would really like to stay in more regular contact with but it's hard once we don't have a social reason to see each other on anymore.

Every time I think about doing this I worry that it's way too self indulgent. I'm already a bit, see very, self absorbed at times and I think this would come off as a extension of that. Am I just paranoid?
> A waste for the people doing it who are never going to be appropriately compensated for the value of their failure to society? Yes.

Judging by their profiles, I don't think they care if they end up being a failure with this Venture.
They are welcome to jump ship to companies that sell an actual product and don't profit off wasting everyone else's time with their ads.

Sorry but I really have no sympathy for people that happily waste my time by showing me irrelevant content, trying to sell me garbage or flood my mailbox at every opportunity (the only reason my mailbox is clean is because I am allergic to any web form that asks for my email).
You can buy as many pizerow as you like if you buy a bundle that includes the official case. That raises the price to around 18 usd.
What issues have you seen that require a 2-hour reboot?

Stability was one of my concerns with my last Pi project, so during development I basically never powered it off or rebooted (except to test power-up behavior) so I could see if I encountered any problems. No problems came up, but others' experiences are always good to learn from.
Yes, the short shelf life is what turned me off, too. For my quick repairs I found myself using only a fraction of the smallest packets they sell, leaving the rest to dry out unused. And after needing it a few months later and finding it unusable I never bought anymore.

I'm going to try your recipe.

Oh definitely, this was a fun one to write. I got so caught up in it that I completely forgot the original project I wanted to use it, which was a small VM.
Thanks, I am curious as well.

Life isn't automatically good!!! Bad parenting can, and does, create lives that are arguably better to have never existed.
1.3% of generation today with a growth rate of roughly 30-40% per year. We are installing a ton of solar and are no longer building a significant number of new coal plants or nuclear plants. The article is pointing out an emerging trend. Before we know it, solar generation will account for 5% of electricity generation.
If people on the left had the same obsession with nuclear that they have with solar climate change would be solved.

Honestly it seems to me like 'liberals' (lack of a better term) are closing their eyes on this. This eternal year on year constant media bombardment about the successes of solar energy and in the last couple of years batteries is totally out of proportion with any realistic view of the current energy system or any energy system that could realistically exist in the next 10 years.

What is ironic in this whole discussion is that while liberals can never stop pointing out how France is so much better in terms of health care system and child care and whatever else. The fact that France has abolished carbon in their energy production 40 years ago is somehow ignored.

A modern industrial nation abolished carbon in 1970 with technology that is essentially from the 50/60. This success if it had been done with solar and wind would fly on every flag of every news paper and environmentalist poster.

This could easily be repeated today in any other industrialized country. Switzerland and Sweden currently work like that (just with more water).

What is really sad is that the carbon industry has discovered this in the 70s already. Carbon based energy producers have long supported anti-nuclear campaigns because they know it will be incredibly difficult for solar/wind to remove goal/gas as baseload powers and thus they are only a very, very long term thread to them. While a nuclear plant could be plopped down right next to every coal plant.
PRK is a different procedure. The main advantage is that there is no incision and less chances of error which is why pilots opt for it. The main disadvantage of PRK over lasik is the much longer recovery time which is a decent trade off for less risk. That said, I still suffer from dry eye years after the procedure though it’s improved compared to before

This helped frame the subscription for me:

> ...If you let an annual membership lapse, your pods do not turn into paperweights; they just revert to the same status they had when you first turned them on. That means they'd have a very simple "we found each other, good enough" topology rather than a more optimal one determined by Plume's cloud NOC; you'd also lose any other features dependent on the NOC, like client-specific rulesets.
> The other perk of a membership in good standing is a rolling lifetime warranty for all pods... even after the original design is no longer manufactured. If you have a v1 pod that fails in 2022, you'll get a replacement with whatever 802.11ax-compliant replacement design is current then, for example.
> I'd recommend that anybody who's super angry about the "membership" concept to look into an apples-to-apples comparison that encompasses this lifetime cost. For example, in this article I compared a four-Superpod startup pack at $259. Add a $200 membership and it's $459 compared to the cost of an Eero + 2 Beacons (currently $389) or an Orbi RBK-53 (currently $530). If you're on the fence, you can make the initial buy with an annual membership and upgrade the annual to lifetime with a prorated refund of the remaining time on the annual. There's also a 60-day full-refund policy on both the hardware and the membership fee if you decide the system is not for you.

This seems a bit better than my initial impression, but I hope their messaging around the subscription frames it similarly to this article.
Agree with other comments here about the priority of getting user feedback. But one lesson we learned is that the best feedback comes from strangers, who have no reason to support your idea (ie. unlike your mom who will always love it). There is a graph about this in the Startup School courses. We used a service called Erlibird to get this feedback (there are plenty of others too) - reasonable cost, high-quality responses.
"text normalization" just refers to that sort of thing. it's a subcomponent of the "front-end" of a speech synthesizer but it can also be used for speech recognition (if your training data contains things like "145" you may want to convert it to read "one hundred and forty five", for various reasons) and information extraction (perhaps you want to treat "145" and "one hundred and forty five" as the same).
I'm surprised no one has proposed a vertical farm yet. You've got plenty of storage/shipment zones, diverse levels of sunlight, an intricate climate-control system, and plenty of parking to expand/convert into a solar farm. Then you maintain the food court as a locavore destination
Three suggestions:
1) Get rid of anything that you haven't used for years or that you don't feel an emotional connection with
2) Have a designated place for each belonging you possess
3) Cultivate the habit of putting things away immediately after you're done before doing the next activity.
IP addresses combined with time stamps are personal information if there's only one person using that IP address at that moment in time. If you don't want to personally verify that the IP address was used by more than one person at the given time, you should consider it personal information.

What is apparently unintuitive to some people (especially programmers) about the GDPR definition of "personal information" is that it's not a clear cut list but highly contextual: if it can be used to unambiguously identify a single individual by someone, then to that someone it is personal information and they need to treat it as such.

Absurd example: if someone called "John Smith" writes their name on a piece of paper and you find it ten years later, it's probably not personal information as you have no way to determine who that name refers to or even whether it refers to anyone at all.

Absurd counter-example: any given number can be personal information when used to identify specific individuals in the real world (e.g. numeric user IDs), so slipping your coworker a piece of paper with the number "12345" on it can be personal information if both of you know who it refers to (or can look it up).
On the Bay Area peninsula we saw :

a.) San Antonio/El Camino outdoor mall rebuilt as mixed used retail/residential

b.) Sunnyvale Town Center mall - mixed use retail/residential?

c.) Cupertino Vallco Mall - in litigation/negotiation for mixed use retail/residential

d.) some 50 year old movie theaters with huge parking lots on the edge of existing Santana Row mixed use development were torn down recently to make room for more mixed use development
Pipelines offer uninterrupted right-of-way continuity from point to point. Shopping malls are distinctly noncontinuous, and better resemble ports (which is what they are).

That's the tricky bit in physically-routed infrastructure: pipelines, canals, rail, expressways, media (vs. transmission-based) comms links. None of them abide well with airgapping.

The comms-transport link goes back at least to the rail era when telegraph lines sprang up along them. You might have heard of one such venture: the Southern Pacific Railroad Internal Network Telecommunications, better known as SPRINT.

A delivery-based fulfillment service, say, Amazon, might have interest in some (though hardly all) of these as local distribution hubs.
Plenty of people smoke cigars on occasion, often in a celebratory manner. As far as I know, huffing paint (or pretty much anything else people use in a similar way) can kill you the first time you do it. It's a rather dangerous way to get high.

Anyways, there's nothing wrong with celebrating a birthday with sugar and it has nothing to do with it being a widespread tradition that's already in our lives. It's because sugar has basically no adverse effects in small doses and it isn't as addictive as heroin or nicotine.

Nuclear is too expensive (billions of dollars per facility) and takes too long to build (10+ years), full stop. This doesn't even address the waste storage issue.

France is going to need to address its expensive, aging nuclear generators at some point. By then, of course, solar will be much cheaper than it is today, and there will be more HVDC transmission lines shuttling power between EU countries.
You can do that via good parenting too. The myth of the self absorbed only child is just that, a myth.

I started meditating recently after having been carpet-bombed by its potential benefits for years across various media and platforms, and now, after a few weeks of regular practice, I must say this -- I was pleasantly surprised by how much my outlook toward life changed since I started practicing 'mindfulness' -- a type of meditation involving focusing on the present moment with the understanding that buzzing thoughts are super fleeting.

It was hard at the beginning, very hard in fact; but once I made a habit of doing it every day no matter how busy (I think) I got, it really started making a difference -- it started paying off.

I'm now measurable more focused, less distracted by outside stimuli (screens, people, news) and have gotten more adept at observing my thoughts and feelings before they snowball into something more neurotic -- very good attributes to have in our ever more distracted world. In short, I have more CONTROL over my attention, which has immensely added to how I experience life.[0]

Highly recommend it.

I think you're missing the overall point. There is also a major issue about human subjects used in experiments and how institutional review boards have been put in place to prevent such crazy, runaway nonsense. Whether or not SPE is replicable or whether or not the conclusions are valid, the issue of people being held against their will is definitely relevant all by itself.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you are living in a world of confirmation bias.

There are 288 companies in the world with a valuation of > $1b [1].

There is most likely over 100 million companies in the world [2].

With these numbers in mind you will have a 0.000288% chance of joining a unicorn.

Except, 50% of all new business fail within five years [3].

So, you will have a 0.000144% chance of joining a unicorn.

My company is doing well (approaching $4m revenue). I have already hugely defied the odds. I am one of the sucessfull ones. My return for a 5 year investment will be $600k at best. My story is a VERY common one. Yours is impossibly uncommon.

> My advice: If you can somehow spot a potential unicorn and you'll be one of the first employees, then drop everything and join it.

The advice you are giving is for people to drop everything for a snowball's chance in hell.

What this ignores is that the price for the end consumer is not directly related to the price of solar panel.

The combined cost of solar, batteries and grid changes, more advanced handling and software actually don't result in cheaper energy prices.

Compare California to places where they use gas.

And it is a good practice indeed. I think deep down my comment history here one can find that I found it strange that someone would pay a lot of money on an annual basis for coffee out of the home.

That said I also think that it is not bad to be able to spend money like that. Not about the money itself, but the mindset required to spend. It must require a very pleasant way of life to not want to save all money, like in case of emergencies or saving up so you or your kids can go to college.

Balance, basically.

I vaguely remember reading that article while I was at said company making basically the same salary (with the same company valuation at the time) and realizing my equity was far below that and scratching my head.

If I had PG's recommended equity instead of what I had I would have gone from neutral EV to basically pay-off-my-house money. Like I said, it's things like these that make me never want to work for a startup again and only come in as a founder.

Agreed in general, but also, your argument rests on likening Microsoft to an eight year old using their first computer.

Microsoft surely has the means to hire someone who is not an eight year old using their computer for the first time.
If an individual has adopted a characteristic slogan, and that individual makes racist statements, then the slogan can reasonably said to be linked to racist ideas.

No, that is not a true statement since I can basically make it impossible to say anything by adopting that idea. Number two, your view of what is racist statements if you are talking about the President is skewed. Immigration is a hot button topic, but wanting to reign in immigration is not racist ask anyone fired because their company brought in H1B workers and they had to train them before hitting the road. Heck, the recent hubbub over calling MS-13 animals and then saying its racist shows how screwed these views are.

The professor was obviously having some fun and its a great paper. Stop trying to make people feel bad because you are offended.

I swear, people would claim, "I Like Ike" is racist if it was a 2016 campaign slogan.

Counting calories really has helped me. I lost almost 15Kg, I'm on the verge of being only overweight, I feel lighter, I snore less, ...

After the period of adaptation it has also make me relate to the food in diferent ways, feeling full sooner, and my taste has changed somewhat and I don't love "unhealthy" food any longer.

This with daily weight-ins (with average indicator) has been the real game changer for me.

I read about this on Hacker's diet[0], and I didn't start counting until february. If I had known it would be to simple (not that easy though) I might have started sooner.

I had LASIK almost 20 years ago, from one of the leading practitioners in the then-fairly-young field, and I scrupulously followed the post-op regimen, yet I still experience noticeable halos and starbursts with lights at night, and my eyes are considerably more sensitive to the sun (I basically can't tolerate being outside in the daytime for any length of time without sunglasses, whereas I never even owned a pair of sunglasses before the surgery).

These are fairly minor issues for me, and I've never regretted getting LASIK, but a reputable surgeon doesn't guarantee lack of side effects.
I've made many mistakes in my life but I always had enough respect for technology to not yank out parts of a system which I did not understand.
Adding to this... If you are already a reader but find yourself only reading in spurts i.e. you find a great book, only read on vacation, ect. I'd suggest being more open to quitting a book when you start to lose interest. I went from reading 10 books a year to 25+ because I'm willing to put a book down. It's also helped me define what I actually enjoy reading.

Am I disappointed I only made it 300 pages into Infinite Jest? Sure. But I've read 4 other books since I set that down last month.

Eh, good call. Sued is probably extremely rare / non-existent. I'm assuming their modus operandi is to register as a creditor on bankruptcies and try to claw back what they can that way. End result is still the same: They're not worried about gold and silver because they are very price stable and easily liquidated during bankruptcy in order to pay creditors.
It is dystopian. And like clockwork, the top comment is about the state banning something, other statists/authoritarians here on HN applauding the effort, and your comment getting downvoted.

I wonder when the state will ban sugar from the homes too. These people don't understand what they're asking for - like the frog in boiling water.

Joel Spolsky has a good story about Gates and his understanding of engineering.

https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/06/16/my-first-billg-rev...

Edit: there's a tl;dr on the particular topic of Gates' engineering skills buried in the story (which I'll quote below), but I encourage everyone to read the whole damn thing because that is how you successfully lead engineers.

tl;dr

"It was a good point. Bill Gates was amazingly technical. He understood Variants, and COM objects, and IDispatch and why Automation is different than vtables and why this might lead to dual interfaces. He worried about date functions. He didn’t meddle in software if he trusted the people who were working on it, but you couldn’t bullshit him for a minute because he was a programmer. A real, actual, programmer."
The problem is sometimes these "variants" are very difficult to find.

Pasta sauce for instance IMHO should not have any sugar at all (tomatoes, spices, and a little bit of olive oil). If sugar is added, it should be very modest. But try finding a typical pasta sauce in the store with no sugar or even only a modest amount of sugar. This is more difficult than it sounds.

Options definitely exist and Googling, it seems with keto being more of a thing, there are a few more options compared to when I searched a few years ago -- haven't honestly made pasta in a while. But it's still relatively few, your typical Ragu type bottles will have sugar or HFCS as one of the top 3 ingredients. The options that do exist tend to cluster around more expensive "organic" offerings. And you have to keep checking ingredients lists continuously for changes. One report for instance said Aldi's used to have a pasta sauce without sugar. This is not the case now... http://ggfgourmet.com/en/index.php/aldipastasauce/

Pasta sauce is one of those things that takes time to make. If you don't have the time to make it, and can't find a quality variety without the unnecessary sugar... you're out of luck.
No, but you were trying to access through a DigitalOcean IP which may have been range banned for spam/abuse/botting. Same reason why almost any public proxy is banned on 4chan. Same reason many uploading/hosting sites block Tor exit nodes. If your intention was to remain private - they do not guarantee that anywhere.

Arguing that you "are" DigitalOcean and they are censoring you is a bit disingenuous if you ask me.
