>Look at Japan, their economy has been stagnant since the 80s, propped up by government market manipulation. They are almost completely irrelevant.

They're still "the third-largest in the world by nominal GDP and the fourth-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). and is the world's second largest developed economy".

I'd take that level of irrelevance any day.

Besides that, Japan's situation doesn't tell us much.

>Which innovative companies does China have that aren’t complete rip offs of American ones?

DJI would be a good example. They're the Apple of drones, and are doing great in the gimbal business as well. No American company comes even close.

There are others of course, and more will emerge. Already they make phones on par with the best of the Android world.

Besides, which innovative companies did Japan have before the 70s that weren't complete rip offs of American ones? And which innovative companies did the US have (before the mid-19th century) that weren't complete rip offs of European ones? And yet here we are now...

When I was an undergrad and systems admin at a major American university, the Ph.D. students would often come to me for programming advice. We even had one guy who was a Ph.D. candidate, Java certified up to some awful level but had never written a Java program. Ever.

Grad students are usually good at conceptual stuff. They couldn't code well, and they needed help setting up a database. But I couldn't do the breakthrough stuff they were doing. (I'm still not sure what a wavelet is:-).

It's as simple as that.

I worked on 911 reporting software oh 6 or 7 years ago now, and I seem to remember talk about allowing SMS and MMS along with live-streamed video coming from mobile phones to the PSAPs ... but I guess there hasn't been much movement on that.

I think the trouble you'll run into is the various agencies involved (since it's been quite a while I don't really remember), e.g. the Sheriff's departments run the PSAPs and I believe the State requires reporting for funding. And since these are government contracts you have to deal with getting those contracts and whatever contracts they already have with incumbents.

Not only that but there's a ton of different equipment out there, and everybody is using different stuff.

Anyway not saying it can't be done and that it can't be done efficiently (because believe me it can), but it's 100% government so you're gonna need some patience, good sales guys, and lobbyists.

edit: congrats on the award BTW, that sounds like you did some great work.
SF has a municipal code that forbids buildings over four stories downtown, but I'm sure you've noticed there are many tall buildings there. This is used as a tool by the city to extract concessions from developers, requiring the city to make an "exception" for essentially every new building.

This has nothing to with government services and everything to do with the fact that you are describing a situation that is nonsensical.

> If Apple is going to wade into one of these areas, they need to play by the rules of that public service, they can't just treat it like another business metric to compete with.

Apple is not attempting to get in the business of running 911 call centers. They're sending an extra bit of data that call centers can choose to access. That's all. There is no "private competition" with the public service. This is no different than Apple supporting the Amber Alert system or AT&T providing your location to 911 services when they are able to.

> Yes, do you understand how budgeting works in government?

Do you? You're proposing that urban centers will see a drop in cost for 911 support (an outcome which by the way would be nice but is not supported by anything other than wild guesswork on your part) and then rural areas who have not experienced a drop in cost will lower their own budgets for some random reason.

Why do imagine Bumblefuck, Arkansas is looking at New York City's 911 costs instead of their own?

I find that most extreme ideologies simply boil down to people not wanting someone to have any control over them.

They don't care for certain aspects of the social contract and want to be able to flaunt it at will with no repercussions. Or they don't want to pay taxes or some other thing. Whatever, they feel that society at large is what's holding them back, not simply a lack of ability or drive.

At least with religious fundamentalists or whatever flavor of totalitarianism you're comfortable with, it's clear what their answer to the problem of force is: be the force.

Anarchists have no answer to that. They want to "be free to do whatever" but when confronted with the question of what happens when I want their shit, they invariably create government. Oh, I can't take their shit because there will be rules. In the community they live, you can't live there if you take other people's shit.

Yeah. That's just government. That's politics. That's the social contract. We all agree not to do shit in order for us to live relatively peaceful, chill lives.

Government, in the broad sense, is not the problem. The problem is that governments are still run by people. And we're kind of fucked up. And we often make mistakes.

I know a few who have, but its not ideal. I think if you already have businesses that you are attracted to and the risk/reward for starting that business becomes greater than the risk/reward of what your job prospects are then it needs to be explored. The challenge is that most investors can easily sniff out someone who is starting this biz because they can't get a job, and that isn't a pattern they typically fund.

I think a good mix is to start working on the business while continuing to look for a new job. Then if you get traction, you will likely have a better story to sell. It also helps you minimize your risk on the business.
People move for one of three reasons, which to me feel successively less discretionary: (a) they get a job offer (e.g. Wall Street, Chicago), (b) they're moving to a job cluster hoping to find something eventually (e.g. LA, NYC, SF, Vegas, DC), or (c) they are priced out of every other place. Typically, their economic precariousness increases with each category.

It's true that many well-to-do young adults move to big cities, but plenty are moving to 1950s-1980s era suburbs too [1], where they're living in cheaper, older housing stock and neighborhoods that are less affected by developmental pressures [2][3]. International working-class immigrants, subject to many of the same pressures, are following suit.

This system is really difficult for an average person (or family) to game. Most people are caught in economic pressure to go either where the jobs are or shift within the same metro to find their acceptable balance between amenities and cost. And anyone willing to take a chance on cross-country relocation to some second or third-tier metro is probably being taken for a fool; by the time they read about a place being a 'great place to raise a family' it's probably already experiencing rising costs of living [4].

You should read the description: "These are my old snapshots with radar data overlaid."

It's just the radar data, not the camera based system. Further:

"Sometimes the circle is in place, where there's nothing present. It should be well known, that radar have problems with determining the elevation at which the object is located, so such readout can be caused by an object that is higher or lower on the image."

and

"Radar reports coordinates in 3D space and so the conversion to image space might not be super accurate at times"

My plan is to do this as a nonprofit. Build great mapping tools and offer them for free to all worldwide emergency responders.

PSAPs have a role in this, of course, but I am also wondering how much smartphone emergency requests could be routed directly to responders. Think of the Coast Guard’s VHF 16 emergency channel. It doesn’t go to 911 — it goes straight to the Coast Guard.

> so I don't know why you think Intel was a consistent winner.

Because I read the benchmarks. Intel was winning by such a huge margin that AMD nearly bankrupted themselves trying to compete on price. Intel didn't even need to dip into their margins at all because AMD was several generations behind.

Intel beat AMD to 32nm fabrications by over a year, with the gap widening over the next five. Intel got to 14nm in 2015 while AMD just got there last year with Ryzen.

> Like I previously stated you can buy an octocore and that's still beats most Intel offerings for far less

BS. Nothing pre-Zen was competitive with contemporary Intel offerings, much less the latest offerings. As I pointed out, AMD was a generation or two behind Intel for this entire decade.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/6396/the-vishera-review-amd-f...

Yeah, you can still buy these six+ year old CPUs for $90, but, as that review shows, they were barely competitive with 2012 Intel processors. Much less, competitive with CPUs that are two generations newer.

> Stock price doesn't determine CPU quality.

It's a measure of how well a company is doing.

The original Phenom had a major CPU bug that hit once they finally began to gain market-share in the server market. This cost AMD pretty heavily and forced them to cut R&D budgets, which, as stated, put AMD generations behind Intel in tech. This led to a slashing of margins to compete, which put them even further behind Intel.

Oh yeah, and somewhere during all that, they they were the target class action lawsuits for over-stated performance.

This doesn't even get into the Radeon lineup, which totally missed the AI/ML craze that sent nVidia profits to the sky.
We have policies like subsidies and others to keep food prices stable. If there was a pure free market in food we may see more food shortages or even starvation. Maybe we should think about limiting the impacts of the free market on other things like housing. Outside the US a lot of countries have realized that health care is not suitable for an unregulated free market and have taken measures accordingly.

I know the US has a ton of regulation in housing and health care but none of them seem to help with affordability.

Another thing to consider is to somehow discourage concentration of industry in one place. It's not healthy that there is a place that sucks up so many people because the pay is much, much higher than anywhere else.

From my point of view, the main benefit of microservices is risk reduction. Microservices allow you to iterate rapidly and roll out new features without potentially affecting your application as a whole.

"Do one thing and do it well." can also be an argument for using microservices. However, your application has to be of a certain size in order for that to be a valid point. If your application merely has a few endpoints, most of which are rarely - if ever - used as each other's inputs, then using microservices only adds development overhead without yielding considerable benefit. This is also why I'm critical of the surprisingly common one-size-fits-all "Use microservices for everything" approach. Microservices are just another design pattern. They're not a cure-all for every software development problem.

I, for one, am doubtful about the front-end / back-end developer dichotomy because it tends to create new silos. I don't particularly like "full-stack developer" either because I think engineers should aim to be problem solvers rather than people who merely turn someone else's solution into code.

Solving a particular problem in some cases might just involve the back-end or the front-end but in most cases it not only involves both but other areas such as requirements engineering or design as well.

This might not be particularly relevant to the article, but I'm still genuinely shocked that the HN crowd is so anti-cryptocurreny. Most of the arguments against it are akin to someone in 1995 saying the internet isn't viable because it's insecure, there's no real business use-case for it, no major corporations are investing in it, it's super slow, no one is ever going to use it for real-world business transactions, it's only used by geeks, etc... If you said that in 1995 you were terribly wrong and you'll be wrong about this as well. Criticisms of alta-vista may have had some relevance but criticizing the underlying ideas and technology is short-sighted.

Ask HN: How should I manage the progress on my startup?
Hello HN!

I have committed to work on my startup idea for next one year. I will decide to continue if it's working out or not.

And I am thinking of doing one thing, instead of judging on some concrete/discrete results, I want to evaluate my progress for continuous results. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

It would be help if you can guide me for this path.
Looking forward to your suggestions on:

- tools to use during the early journey

- methodologies to track my progress on idea

- advices to follow

I will be active in the thread to answer if you've any other questions.
There are different ways to implement exceptions with different performance trade-offs.

Mechanism used by CPython (and IIRC many C++ implementations) involves having per-thread flag "exception occurred" which is checked after every function return (this makes sense performance-wise when essentially every function contains "implicit try/finally" in form of bunch of Py_DECREF or destructors of locally scoped variables).

The same idea can be implemented by returning instances of special "ExceptionThrown" class and checking for that, which you in fact can do by doing "if argument is ExceptionThrown return argument" in prologue of every function, which is exactly the thing described in the article. (early versions of dfsch did exactly this)

Only when you know that in most cases you don't need to do significant cleanup on stack-unwind (ie. you have tracing GC that directly scans stack or you don't allocate that much) it starts to make sense to do stack unwinding by doing non-local jumps.

Typical implementation of that has some linked-list of currently active try/catch/finally sites that has to be maintained at runtime (typically as part of activation records on control stack). Extension of this idea is that such sites do not necessarilly have to unwind-stack before running the recovery code (i.e. Windows' SEH). And then that you can have two such lists, one for handling errors and other for cleanup during stack unwind (i.e. CL-style condition system)
