I built an open source alternative to Disqus. I have a list of 100? blog posts I'm planning to write ... and then I'll use it. I've added a few improvements over Disqus that makes the comments simpler to navigate (if they're really many) and also for finding the most recent comments (which otherwise isn't possible, since the commmets are threaded).

Here's the blog & comments: https://www.kajmagnus.blog/new-embedded-comments/ (that's the only blog post thus far).

Meet ups can be one place (in person is good). Following a variety of tech people on twitter can help - from different backgrounds, genders, and so on.

HN skews to a VERY specific demographic and what is popular here is often niche or at least not as amplified outside of it.

Plus those different perspectives give you some learning material on how tech affects people, or the ethics behind certain things.
> returning `bool` to `optional<bool>`.

In that case you need to pay attention to what you're doing. Semantically you'd be altering your code to convert a function that always returns a value into a function that maybe won't return it. How do you expect to replace a type with a wrapper that maybe won't wrap that type and still assume you won't need to check if a return value exists?

That would be like replacing a reference with a pointer and then forgetting to check if the pointer is null. Making this mistake has nothing to do with luck and has everything to do with incompetence, and no language specs saves you from that.
Emphatically disagree. You can lose by taking the high road, because it costs time and energy. Being chill regardless is an unhealthy habit, I've found it better to allow myself to feel whatever I happen to be feeling (mindfulness), and share my feelings with others when appropriate. This will inevitably be "not chill" from time to time but it's healthier.
Tesla's "autopilot" project has had at least 3 of the project leaders quit.[1]

funny enough with the advent of texting and driving its starting to shift to women being more expensive to insure. My sisters insurance for the same vehicle was surprisingly more expensive.
> A natural reaction to these incidents is to assume that there must be something seriously wrong with Tesla's Autopilot system. After all, you might expect that avoiding collisions with large, stationary objects like fire engines and concrete lane dividers would be one of the most basic functions of a car's automatic emergency braking technology.

> But while there's obviously room for improvement, the reality is that the behavior of Tesla's driver assistance technology here isn't that different from that of competing systems from other carmakers.

Is this actually saying that there's nothing "seriously wrong" with an autopilot that randomly decides to aim at a wall and accelerate, because other self-driving systems also do that?

This is some very weird apologetics.

It doesn't, but it allows the work day to begin at commute time. Those that don't adapt will simply have fewer "work hours" to make up the lost productivity.

I suspect the bumpiness of roads will become a public nuisance once people start reading/computing in-car.
I wonder if you could bootstrap a superoptimizer using the entire body of 6502 code written thus far.
The Prop 13 problem is easy to solve technically, if you see the problem as described in this piece... but that's not the problem that needs to be solved. The real problem is California's referendum system that allows such populist lunacy to pass at all.

Getting rides with Lyft or Uber give me even more control over my own movement than driving a car. I get a built-in chauffeur and valet (no time or money spent parking), plus I don't need to pay for maintenance costs or spend time refuelling. Why would waste time and money driving?
No. There just plain aren't many jobs in the East Bay unless you like working at Chick-fil-A or some call center. The menu is there.
I can also skip all traffic jams on my motorcycle. When I see a traffic jam, I get excited.
Don't worry, the chip you are searching is branded ExpressFabric and sold/made by Broadcom. It's AFAIK only PCIe4, and you get ones with up to iirc 96 lanes per chip. They support to be connected into a mesh, even adding shared PCIe devices like network cards, GPUs, NVMe and SAS/SATA HBAs is possible, though you might have difficulties with the GPUs in particular. The others, if you are careful when buying, should do well if they can handle SR-IOV, as (from their view), the mesh switch they are attached to is the root, and the computers attached to the mesh take the place a VM would normally occupy.

If you could get the smallest chip they make, it should not be hard to get a PCB made for it that fans out to e.g. a set of USB-C receptacles. One such receptacle can handle 2 PCIe3 lanes, and some power/USB-2 on the side. The main reason being the relatively low price, compared to e.g. mini SAS HD, which has a similar density and twice the lanes per connector, but also a slightly higher target impedance at the upper end of the PCIe spec, whereas USB-C is specifically targeting the perfect PCIe impedance.
The no malloc within the library cannot be overstated, let the user of the library decide what is best and do not do some junk like `some_fn()` and require an implicit `some_free()`
I fail to see how forcing syntax changes (thus breaking all IDEs) is preferable to simply adding a class, or how using a custom specialized keyword brings anything but problems when trying to replace a component.
Means testing can be either income or wealth. Some countries prefer one over the other (the US prefers income, while the UK prefers wealth), and they have their upsides and downsides.

I’ll note that most tax progressives don’t consider “billionaires own many houses” as being “more heavily penalized”. A progressive tax results in a higher rate not just a higher amount. Other proposals here of “only one first home”, are a good example of making property tax progressive.

Note: I added an edit to my original comment, since billionaire was distracting. If you move this down to high net worth individuals, it is a significant group of people in California.

This is what you seemed to dismiss with your statement about basic education.
The memory-inefficiency of the 6502 in doing 16 bit arithmetic lead Steve Wozniak to write a tiny virtual machine he called "sweet 16". That is a compact 16 register 16 bit arithmetic bytecode language implemented in about 300 bytes of 6502 machine code. It trades off speed vs memory, at about 10 times slower but 2 times more dense than straight 6502 machine code for 16 bit operations. And it is designed to easily jump back and forth between the sweet 16 bytecode and 6502 machine code. It might not be a bad fit for what the author is trying to do!

What about Obama vs. Romney?

I recall numerous articles after that election discussing the difference the Obama campaign's use of "big data" made. Googling "Obama vs Romney big data" or "Obama vs Romney data driven" shows I'm not misremembering.
>we knew that continual burning of coal and other fossil fuels would cause considerable warming.

Wrong. We didn't know that. We hoped the co2 will be cleaned up by the mechanisms already in place, and we thought the effect would only be temporary. Just like we think the holes caused by the rockets are temporary now, and will not have any cascading effects.

Incredibly short sighted and We have learned nothing from history if we continue to reason like this.
"The density of the 23 wards is ~twice that of Queens, which much of it being 3x."

Technically correct but misleading; Queens is not especially dense. I dropped a pin at random in Queens:

https://goo.gl/maps/ULFor21SjXq

Here's a random pin-dropping in one of the 23 wards:

https://goo.gl/maps/Ah5kaMKvyLn

Roughly equivalent, I'd say, and not atypical for Tokyo. But compare to what most anyone would call a "dense" part of Manhattan:

https://goo.gl/maps/kKMgK4qZVcG2

HN people who talk about the "density" of Tokyo are picturing skyscrapers and block housing, but it's not an accurate picture. Having spent plenty of time in both cities, Tokyo is about as dense as the outer boroughs of New York, on average.
What it really comes down to is the question of the actual goal and the costs of reaching that goal. For a huge percentage of things "good enough" is in fact good enough. It's also important to not confuse the goal and proposed solutions for reaching that goal.

For the example above, is the goal to be able to spray upside down? To ensure that the sprayer is able to spray a higher percentage of what's in the bottle? How large is that percentage improvement (90% up to 95%?), what's the incremental cost of increasing that percentage, and what is the actual worth of 5% of the contents of the bottle?

A draw tube that is flexible enough to fold in half, strong enough to not kink, sturdy enough to not collapse when bursts of suction are applied, weighted enough to stay in liquid, strong enough to assemble quickly and easily, etc. is probably also expensive enough to just not be an economical solution.

By the way, if you don't purchase cleaning supplies regularly you may have missed that a lot of those tubes have gone away - they're now molded as part of the bottle so just tipping the bottle will put all remaining liquid at the intake point.
Men used to have higher insurance in EU due to causing more damage on average, but the court found it to be discrimination. Both genders have to pay the same in EU.
Don't fool yourself. The US made life in Iraq miserable through a program of sanctions it refused to remove until Saddam Hussein was no longer in power, these sanctions started in the mid 90s.

Estimates of the effect of these crippling sanctions include half of a million dead. US and UN officials had spoken out against the sanctions calling them war crimes.

If we destroy a country then oust it's dictator who people blame for the poor state of things...are we really the good guy? I don't know if your ignoring this fact or just talking nonsense. The US destroyed Iraq and it has never recovered, and this is a widely accepted fact.

Stupid comment imo, can't believe this is serious and hasn't been called out already.

Frankly, as an American, why should I care about this as far as my own privacy is concerned? Of course Apple has a price for which they’ll “sell” user data, but all that this says is that that price is less than the profit that it makes off of those users...and that seems like a pretty obvious upper bound.
I think people stand up for themselves just fine, they just have a hard time standing up for others.
Sounds like an opportunity to me. The East Bay sounds like a great place to start a paradigm-shifting company that attracts all the local talent.
How interesting. I'm developing a discussion system, and something that helps preventing trolling & toxic things = could be useful. So I hope you post to HN even if the try-it-out is invitation only.

There's also https://www.perspectiveapi.com/ b.t.w., I guess you know about it?

Agreed with @ddtaylor that asking for forgiveness, is the good approach, from your point of view. From your point of view, if you post a Show HN and it gets deleted because there're some invite-only things — then that seems like harmless to me? I don't think you'll get banned or something like that. You can just try again a bit later, with a real demo? instead of invite-only.

You mentioned there's a demo already? Then to me sounds like enough for a Show HN?

Would you like to please email me when you post to HN? Email in my profile

Edit: Ok it's in your profile (I read in another comment). And it wasn't exactly what I thought it was. Anyway, if you have time, would still be interesting if you sent an email.

You cannot compare work environment at Amazon to that of unorganized sector in India where small organizations or agriculture land-owners in villages and small towns exploit employees. Being a modern technology company, Amazon should be held to better standards. If there is not enough awareness and pushback against Amazon or Apple, you can't expect anything to change in unorganized sector and small-town practices.

I began work on a project for exactly this 2 months ago.

https://aurorabbit.github.io/emojicrypt.com/

It encrypts messages with a passphrase using scrypt, AES-GCM, and sha256 for an HMAC.

Each v1 protocol message includes a salt/iv, scrypt N&r, HMAC, and whether or not to lower-case the password. All messages encrypted with the proof-of-concept will be decrypt-able by all future clients, as there's room for 13 more protocol versions.

The code is in complete disarray, and I wouldn't want anyone to sift through it in it's current state[1], but the proof-of-concept is finished, and life came up, so it's been sitting since.

I have a list of features[2] I want to add in the issues tracker :)

From what I read typical stock option results in about 50k per year extra if company succeed. Chances of hitting that are really really small. So risk/reward doesn't seems to be right.

As for non-financial reasons - this is 100% valid point. But then why we are talking about non-fair taxation? Stocks come into picture only when employee exercise (at a nominal price on the moment employee was hired) The same would apply if you use regular options for the publicly traded company on RobingHood for example.

PHP makes building web pages easy. I'm not so convinced it makes building web applications easy as they require another level of performance, security and tooling that a web page does not. While you can obviously write a web app in PHP (heck, you could write one in CGI/Bash if you felt inclined) there are far better suited languages to get that job done. And ultimately once you factor in the extended requirements and maintainability, what was previously seen as easy can quickly become problematic

I can see that Texas A&M made you use graphite, but otherwise I don't see why the nozzle must be made out of graphite.

For a turbine blade, you'd use a single-crystal superalloy. The machining is just 3D printing of wax; you then use a lost-wax process to cast it. Cooling channels are built into it.

That ought to work. You don't even need a particularly corrosion-resistant superalloy if you cool it with liquid methane and then let that leak out to form a moving film on the surface.
Q&A format is not an uncommon one for catechisms, but not normative. The two universal catechisms of the Catholic Church (the first finalized in 1566, the second in 1997) do not employ such a format:

I commute daily to work. By car it would take about an hour. Taking the train takes 1:15 (of which 40 minutes is train). However, I can use this time productively (in my case studying). Because of this I'm most of the way in getting the AWS certifications.

Taking the car just makes me really grumpy at other cars and people, such that I've often found I'm arriving home in a bad mood.

In context, I believe that OP was arguing for eliminating capital gains from our current system, not totally rewriting the way our taxes work such that capital gains was eliminated but we recovered those taxes in another manner.

My argument accounts for this:

> Of course you could argue that you can account for all of this using negative externalities. In that case you might as well tax capital gains to account for the negative externalities. I suppose you could tax something else, like lifetime earnings, but the point is I feel comfortable making the claim that not taxing capital gains is idiotic.

I mean, ideally we would have a system where negative externalities were taxed appropriately, however that is a monumentally complicated task, and I somewhat doubt it could be done efficiently. This is especially true when you start dealing with externalities that arise from situations like "the reason why eliminating capital gains tax is productive is because people will continue to reinvest their money because it's the most productive use for their money," where reinvest effectively means you end up buying more and more of the economy.

What regulations do you enact to prevent this from devolving into feudalism? How do you ensure that system you have put in place isn't destroyed by regulatory capture? What if having a ton of money is a negative externality in and of itself, even though it means you contribute more efficiently to the economy?

I know that capital gains tax is inefficient, but it's an easy tax to levy, it's hard to evade, and politicians can understand it.

Removing capital gains tax and accounting for the externalities is not idiotic. However, removing capital gains tax in our current system would almost definitely be an idiotic move.
