People think they want the equity but they absolutely do not. They may want something for nothing, certainly plenty of folks are interested in that, but you don’t really understand the devils bargain until you’ve made it.

I know what I’m doing. Been at it for years. It works for everybody. There are so many people who deserve a shot but will never get one, if you’re willing to dig and develop there is no shortage.
MINIX was an educational demo. He slapped on a restrictive license even though he didn't make money from it, because his ego didn't want other people to touch his baby. Then he never made time to build anything useful with it. Being right about something you aren't going to build is worse than being a little wrong about something you build.

"[W]hy this[psychedelics] is not four-inch headlines on every newspaper on the planet"

Psychedelics might reveal to you that the neat little reality that you thought you had all figured out is a lot stranger and different from from what you thought it was, that your understanding of it might be all wrong, and that your place in it might not be all that cozy and secure. The experience could put everything in to question for you.

A lot of people feel threatened by that, so they try to push it away, lock it up, turn it off, or dismiss it.

Contrast that reaction to that in some other societies with a long tradition of psychedelic use. Psychedelic experiences there usually confirm the world view of the society, and tend to be very positive and accepted.
One way to think of the difference is: whereas one focuses on helping you feel better through mere conversation[1], the other focuses on achieving the same goal but through the use of chemicals.

They are not mutually exclusive, and everyone's thoughts and bodies are "wired" differently, so it's very common to have a combination of both solutions (talking & meds) to achieve the same goal.

I think too many people think "therapy" == meds 100%, and that is absolutely not true. Many people can benefit from just the "talk" therapy (no meds) and feel better about it.

[1] I say "mere" conversation in jest, but it is no less significant (IMHO), than that of a lawyer's output (mere words too, right?)
Apparently Musk really pissed off the media with his talks about creating a media ratings/fact-checking site. I'm actually following it closely because I'm also working on a fact-checking project.

Maybe the hate predates this incident and has little to do with it, but a few weeks of negative articles can do a lot to change some people's attitudes. At one point CNN had an opinion piece on the homepage titled "Elon Musk is Humiliating Himself" - that can't be helpful.
I'm not sure if it really makes sense to see a nephrologist every 6 months to clean the gunk out of your kidneys, but I may be mistaken.

That's what you meant, right? The most important organ, the kidney?

At least in the US...

A psychiatrist is a physician. They go to the same schools as future radiologists, surgeons, and general practitioners. They learn gross anatomy by dissecting cadavers. They work 80 hour weeks learning to perform medical procedures on actual patients. After that, as doctors, they receive specialized clinical training in years-long residency programs. They are licensed by state medical boards in addition to their own professional orgs.

A psychiatrist is authorized to hand you a prescription for antibiotics, for amphetamines, for opioids. Christ, a psychiatrist is authorized to detain you on their credibility alone for upwards of 48 hours, arguably exceeding the legal detention power of the police.

Psychologists are certainly competent, well-educated experts in their discipline, but they don’t and can’t do all that. Of course the two deal with loosely related subjects, but there is very little comparison between them in any practical sense.

Maybe there is that element that Tesla is risking not only their business (which would be totally fine) but also their customers' lives.
The powerwall is next to the AC/insulation guy that seems like he is there about 50% of the time. He hooks people with "free home efficiency audits". I've seen a tesla rep there with lower frequency, but I'm having a hard time understanding how many they actually sell, because frankly where I live the only use case is going to be people with large enough solar installations to go off grid, as the power company doesn't do any kind of time based rate tiering (the tiering is entirely usage based, and the power company includes how much solar you consume in the equation).
> I do blame the media because they know the outrage sells, but it comes at a cost.

I hardly listen to the media. I listen to the President's words and watch his actions. Trump accused a judge of being unfit due to his racial heritage, not the media. Trump called for a ban of all Muslims entering the US. "Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on" I believe were his exact words. You claim media bias, whereas I see a string of clearly racist behavior.

> I suppose you have similar objections to the late night comics and Tony awards?

I don't watch late night comedy or the Tony awards. I read scientific papers. I think there is a problem with marginalization of minorities in tech. I'm not the only one.

> Just read the paper about an amazing language and understand that about 50% aren't monsters and don't hate people.

Okay, I'll agree to read the paper and consider what you say, if you'll agree to consider that some people are monsters; said monsters say they feel emboldened by this president (just ask them); and that some people have to face said monsters at a higher frequency than others due to the nature of their skin, religion, sexual orientation, etc.; and maybe these people look toward tech to be a respite from that. Some people face monsters down on the sidewalk, at work, at school, at the dentist, in traffic, and now of all places in a Prolog paper. And despite the fact that tech writ large likes to champion a message of inclusivity, there seems to be a strong under-current with a desire to prop up messages of exclusivity. Just consider it.

I only usually deal with the distribution side as an end user, and personally I tend to watch about 2 live events a year (I'd watch new years, but that's clearly pointless, so that leaves eurovision and maybe an election program), so I don't have much experience with that side.

It does amuse me when we were looking at latency for a program from a ropey bit of connectivity which we were using ARQ on. We were discussing whether we could push the latency up from 2 seconds to 6 seconds (it kept dropping out for 2 or 3 seconds at a time), as it's sport. Then we realised there was a good 30-40 seconds downstream before it even left to the CDN!

I still don't understand half of what Streampunk [1] are trying to do with their nmos grain workflows, but they are talking about sub-frame HTTP units

This is not an approach that supports line-synced timing and may not be appropriate for live sports action that requires extremely low latency.
However, for many current SDI workflows that can tolerate a small delay, this approach is sufficient.

With UHD you're talking 20MBytes for a single frame, or each "grain" (a subdivision of a frame) being in the order of a millisecond/megabyte.

I think I prefer this approach to the SMPTE 2110 approach to be honest, especially with the timing windows that 2110 requires (it doesn't lead well to a COTS virtualised environment when your packets have to be emitted at a specific microsecond)

But I digress, this is all very off topic

Ah yes, this oldie newsgroup post from ast, the guy whom wrote a bunch of mandatory CS textbooks and MINIX 2 (before the course moved to FreeBSD) which we had to hack on in ECS150. I’m sure he’s crazy rich by now from passive income.

A hypothetical kernel&userland like OpenBSD built on seL4 (a-la DragonFly or MINIX 3), implemented in Rust, OCaml or Haskell, with thorough unit, integration tests and perhaps formal proofs, seems like the safest, not necessarily the fastest, kernel approach possible using modern technologies. seL4 communicating by sending messages is really efficient and builds in IPC as a fundamental, low-latency operation.

(Hi Jerry!)
That is a good point. A few thoughts here:

1) Bundling could help new entrants with existing platforms. E.g. if Uber comes into a local market and offers a free scooter ride for every car ride, that could really hurt a company like Bird -- even if Bird is the incumbent when it comes to scooters.

2) I view these capital expenses as being relatively small. If it's $1m-$2m to cover SF in scooters, and if scooter costs are similar across players, then I don't see why a new entrant couldn't also offer services at cost until the incumbent gets tired of running at break even.

3) The price points are so low here -- often $2-$3 for a ride. If that's the case, I wonder if consumers will care about someone shaving 30 or 50 cents off their price to provide scooters at their marginal cost, or if they will care more about scooter proximity or safety or comfort or something else.

I said if they cannot find the time for exercise, then that is the bigger hurtle they should overcome. Likely, that's the key contributor to their mental health problem over not being able to do a few push ups at night.
Naming themselves "North Macedonia" kind of implies that they are strongly connected to the other three Macedonia (administrative) regions of Greece (Western, Central, Eastern). The reason they're not going to join Greece is that there are no ethnic Greeks there, so why not call themselves Slav Macedonia instead?

[added after downvotes] what is wrong with asking why "North" is the chosen distinction? it seems that the more substantial distinction is the slavic vs greek culture and population when one considers the four regions that use the name "Macedonia"!
Bad application of technology doesn't (necessarily) mean that technology sucks.

Not that I care for most projects in blockchain sphere, as 95% of them are scam and 4.9% naive / misguided. But blockchain does have its uses, it's just the ICOs (and other manifestations of greed) that gave it a bad name. Audit logs anyone? That's the killer feature.

Eh, rust’s result type has shown that you can do the same thing in way that is more type safe and more ergonomic.
Did you consider parameterized packages? The idea is you can declare a set of related objects/types/methods as well as have concrete type specific initialization. E.g.

package stack[t]
type Type []t
func New() Type { return Type{} }
...

Then it can be used so:

import s “stack”[int]
var s1 = s.New()
Everything I wanted to mention has been mentioned in one comment or another. No need to repeat.

My advice is don't be scared to jump in and start trying some of these items that seem appropriate to you.

If it doesn't work, pivot.

Pivot again if needs be and again until you find what helps you. Use the experimentation as a positive message to yourself that you are helping yourself when you need to the most. Don't let anyone tell you your ways of trying to deal with mental health are wrong.

Musk has been acting like a wealthy douchebag on Twitter with Trump-style meltdowns about fake news, especially concerning the (excellent, quality journalism) reports about unsafe practices and union busting at his factories.

Basically, he's an empathy deficient exploitative narcissistic a-hole, an laying people off fits that picture perfectly.

Rome vs Greece: a clash of empires
No, it's not. The problem is clearly laid out in the Bitcoin whitepaper. The problem was known long before the solution.

The root problem is how to make functional and secure trustless money which doesn't rely on third parties. Decentralizing the control is the best solution known to date to remove trust from the system. This introduces the problem of ordering distributed events in a trustless environment. The solution to that is the timestamp server proposed in the Bitcoin whitepaper. That timestamp server is what has been rebranded "blockchain". It's useless for 99% of things it's proposed to solve, but it's the only known solution the original problem.
Second screening even in things like drama is very popular.

If you're watching a sports game, I can see that having a second stream (perhaps curated) with easy to access stats on that game, or a different angle to what the director thinks you want, or whatever.

I don't see the appeal of second stream in drama, but in things like sport, yes
I think, he's started to quell too many disagreeing opinions. That's why people started seeing him as delusional. And his business seems to suffer from that. You need opposing views.

I get that you have to push forward strongly for a vision to succeed, but there seems to be a fine line between strongly pushing a vision and ignoring all important criticism. And right now he's no longer on the right side of that line IMHO.

That seems to be the price of success. People made him a hero and this is the result.

Re social media:

Learn the platform, then arrange to engage with it in a way that works for you. The kinds of things you choose to post or respond to influence the kinds of information/followers/etc you attract.

Pick and choose your notifications. Learn to block, mute, unfollow, etc judiciously.

Be mindful that what you post will shape how other people engage you. If you don't like the kinds of interactions you are getting, look to your own behavior first. Experiment with posting different things and then invest more in the kinds of behaviors that get results you like.
Ok, so that covers the media. What did he do to piss of hn?
This. Even if you don't cross an ocean you can still vote with your feet. You get the benefit of living somewhere with agreeable politics and the group you left gets the benefit of being "rid" of you. Everyone is happier that way. Of course people just need to have their cake and eat it too which causes problems. Sure, moving is a pain in the butt for a laundry list of reason but you have to ask yourself is it less of a pain in the butt than living somewhere where most people hold mostly incompatible beliefs from your own and what your priorities are.

It is illegal to trespass, but you can also acquire the property you trespass upon by adverse possession.

If you can trespass for 20 years (varies by jurisdiction) without getting ejected, it's legal. And you now own the property.

If you don't enforce a trademark, it is void. There are statutes of limitations on a lot of crimes and torts, including those involving violence. So there is quite a lot of precedent involved in unenforced, flagrantly-violated laws becoming void.

One way around that is to elect government attorneys that will prosecute those laws, and government cops that will investigate suspected violations of those laws.

Imho, the conflation of pseudoscience with fields of research that simply can't be modeled as precisely as physics or chemistry isn't super helpful. I feel that the label of pseudoscience should really be reserved for guerilla implementations of mythological practices that solely rely on individual and anecdotal, if not purely placebo influenced experience. Things that apparently offer treatment for critical illnesses, but offer no framework for testing the results or basis for it working. Acupuncture, homeopathy, Chiropractic, anything to do with life forces, Naturopathy, etc..
> a leader who touts altruism as one of his top motivators.

His stated motives are altruistic (making humans interplanetary, accelerating transition to clean energy, others), but that's quite different from altruism as a top motivator.

In this case, it was decided that laying off >3000 employees would best serve the goal of accelerating transition to clean energy.

Does that make more sense?
If you take an animal and put it in the wrong habitat, even if it has what it needs to survive, it will become depressed sooner or later. Why? because it has instincts which are not compatible, if it can't satisfy instincts, the brain goes "wtf". Same with humans who evolved hunting together - running through the wild chasing danger - who now sit idle with screens and then wonder why things feel off.

The thing is, I don't think we need some crazy transformation, the world that respects our biology and instincts doesn't look very different. It works mostly the same except that people are generally happier and outside more and talking to eachother face to face. Not because facetime isn't cool too, but facetime isn't the same
