This looks like a cool app, the post says it's available on Android but I can't seem to find it on the Play Store. Anyone know what happened?
My problem with OSM, besides the lack of satellite layer, is that it doesn't seem to offer any (detailed) info of landmarks - just the name, sometimes not even that: for example, some churches are just marked with a cross.
Why do I need to punch above my weight? So I can finally tell people 'no' when they try to take my time away with stuff that they can fix themselves?

I think it's clear we have two very different motivating factors in careers. You want to climb the corporate ladder and get power and influence, and I'm content building things.

The destructors happen to be one of the most important features that distinguishes C++ from C imho (automatic cleanup at end of scope), so would be great to implement those!
'zpool status' will tell you the last time a scrub was run, or if one is running currently and information about it. Then check your crons and see that they make sense and match what you see with zpool status.
This. Google's economic moat is their data. Proprietary data they've accumulated for the past two decades for various products and strategies. We should see a serious google competitor but we don't. Bing tried it and failed because they just cannot match Google's superior data.

So whoever is trying to emulate Tesla is in for a nasty surprise, Tesla is automation 2.89. The last miles is the hardest and requires an ever increasing amount of data. while safer than humans driving Tesla's autopilot failures have done far more damage to the brand than accounted in the stock price.

Google/Alphabet/Waymo figured out their end game was to build the data that their competitors will not be able to emulate easily or costly.

So far Uber is spinning its wheels and Tesla has lost focus of the killer feature of their car, coming dead last in terms of automation ranking when compared to other major luxury brand manufacturers. But this is HN, and they love Don Papi Musk

Sorry, that should have read "Winner-take-all decision making opens the door for corruption." I'll correct this.

It's the representative that is winner-take-all. And that gives him or her all of the power of those he allegedly represents. And that means he can be an influence peddler.

This is the primary flaw in the US democracy, at least in its current form. In the original arrangement, the Senate was not affected by this and it was harder to game the entire system.
There's not enough bottom-up feedback in selecting and rewarding managers. Top-down-only evaluations skew behavior. An org should survey EVERYONE about their boss(es) every 6 months or so, and the bosses should be held accountable for improving their weak areas.
At my time at Intel, the company was fab-constrained. Intel ran some parts on outside fabs. The decision as to which ones was easily made by sorting projects in order of gross margin per wafer. Highest margin parts ran on Intel fab, when the fab was full, the project had to hunt down fab capacity elsewhere.
Still no good because what the hell is 1oz of egg?
What about this? Does this change anything?

Seems to me that the data collected in the miles driven is an essential component in addition to the sensor package and other hardware. Creating a hardware package is the easy thing, collecting the data doesn't seem like it'd be easier than starting from scratch.
Isn't the history of labor abuse, company towns/script, corporate thugs at the ballot boxes, etc., a counterexample? Does Germany have a similar history?

IIRC most German engineering firms are privately owned, many of them family businesses. Negotiations would definitely be easier than with typical large, publicly traded US companies.

Edit: I should add that I'm not necessarily defending hostile unions, or unions that do more harm than good. On just pointing out that the labor/corporation relationship in the US has been less than friendly.
>Seems there's a nice financial incentive to find a partner and split the cost of rent.

Which then puts you into a situation where your financial and housing security is dependent on a relationship working.

No thanks. That's not a nice incentive.
Thank you kindly Joebo and thank you for your awesome ideas. In fact we have thought about this exact thing, and there is a set height to the answer window to encourage short answers beyond which the users will have to scroll down and there is a page numbering system to show you how many pages there are/are left. We didn't go all the way and put a hard limit though but it is a very interesting idea and will see if others like it as well. The idea of the competition for succinct bullseye answers is also awesome! Since answers can be voted up and those with long answers requiring the scrolling may not be read as much or questioned more, there is an indirect route to this end effect currently implemented but may need improving. Please check it out and give feedback if possible.

Ah the "curse of knowledge"! That is such a bulls eye, home run, out of the park, spot on, accurate assessment and perfect read on your part! The curse of knowledge alienates most of the brightest minds from the rest us which is really sad and simple access to structured questioning could help remedy that age old problem.

As far as I remember the "five whys" should end in a feeling. Right now I feel really energized and inspired by your input since I now know that there are those out there like you who I really need and hope will get directly involved in helping this thing grow in the right direction! Do please keep in touch will ya!?
Well for decades Intel's competitive advantage was the fabs. They executed well and it was hard to compete. There's been dozens of projects to compete with Intel that failed to deliver, largely because they couldn't compete with Intel's fabs. I always felt bad for AMD, they often ended up competing with Intel using fabs that were a generation behind.

However the latest stumble does show the weakness of that approach. Nothing is stopping Intel from using a 3rd party fab, however every chip they farm out is one less to amortize their fab related R&D over.
In my experience, people shopping for solutions will latch onto one that claims to do what they need. They then build a vendor comparison matrix that results in selecting that technology, but makes it look like they considered alternatives. This is because people don't make rational decisions, but instead rationalize decisions.

The tack they took here is, IMO, the most efficient. It's an easier effort to publish this article than one exploring other options, and provides a linear path to success for naive readers (rather than introducing the "other options" branching paths).

> The same kinds of "grand plans" are repeated in today's ambitious software engineering abstractions, which almost never survive contact with reality.

Yonks ago, i was reading an introduction to metaphysics at the same time as an introduction to Smalltalk, and it struck me that the metaphysicians' pursuit of ontology was quite similar to the Smalltalker's construction of their class hierarchy. The crucial difference, it seemed to me, was that the metaphysicians thought they were pursuing a truth that existed beyond them, whereas the Smalltalkers were aware that they were creating something from within them.

It's very likely that my understanding of one or both sides was wrong. But ever since then, i've always seen the process of abstraction in software as creating something useful rather than discovering something true. A consequence of that is being much more willing to throw away abstractions that aren't working, but also to accept that it's okay for an abstraction to be imperfect, if it's still useful.

I, probably arrogantly, speculate that metaphysicians would benefit from adopting the Smalltalkers' worldview.

I, perhaps incorrectly, think that the ontologists' delusion is endemic in the academic functional programming [1] community.

Ask HN: Digital nomading within the US?
Currently I'm in my second month with a client working as a freelance remote programmer (I have past experience with other remote jobs, though) but it's part time and not enough money to pay for my own apartment. But I am almost age 36 and living with my mom for too long and I gotta move on with my life.

I rented an apartment for myself at age 26-28 and then financial problems forced me to move back with my mom. But I can't be stuck a late bloomer forever. I have a 4-door car I own and outside of just some brake fixes that it needs I'd be set for driving long-distance now.

I know some people work remotely as digital nomads. Is this possible within the US? I am not really considering foreign countries due to having more complications to them.

For budget, I make about $1,300 gross per month and that is about $15,600 gross yearly. That could become more per month if the company I work for decides to give me more work and so far they are happy with it. This comes from only working 10 hrs a week so I have lots of room to grow.

I plan to travel and sleep in my car to save money on housing, occasionally stopping by a hotel or AirBNB. And without getting caught up in analysis paralysis, I just want to wing it sometimes and still not get myself into a serious problem.
OK, factoid time. The Hells Angels started out as a social group for retired WWII pilots who liked motorcycles.
That would be pretty slow. FastCGI doesn't start a new process for every request unlike CGI.

That has me wondering if kind of a hybrid solution could work, like a 3D printer that can also pick and place components mid-print. That could be a reliable way to deal with the permanent magnets, since presumably there isn't going to be a way to print out any material that would magnetize itself reliably.
I do not believe this is a thing. I've seen a lot of migration between company sizes.

I would, however, believe that you are presenting in such a way as to not harmonize with the expectations of the interviewer.

I've done a fair bit of interviewing on both sides of the table, with reasonable success - at least, I am mostly happy with it.

Apple is so quick to litigate

Again, lots of big companies are litigious. The salary-fixing thing involved a veritable who-is-who of big SV companies. Good thing? No. But Apple doesn't stand out more or less than the rest with its badness. Your claim isn't that Apple did some lame thing but that Apple and Oracle make that bad thing a central part of their business strategy.

> Aren't free-market capitalism and net neutrality inherently at odds with each other?

Yes, but laissez-faire capitalism has been largely abandoned in favor of mixed market economies in the developed world for the better part of a century.

> My general understanding of HN culture is that it is generally capitalist

HN does not have a strong consensus on my economics. There is definitely a return-to-the-gilded-age faction, sure, but they aren't alone.
I doubt it. It seems like a top down strategy outside of Waymo. Operate in silence training on vast amounts of data while your competitors are splashing in VC money thinking if they throw money at it they can solve it.

This is absolutely correct. Companies can and should discriminate against anyone who wouldn't be a good culture fit for any number of reasons. I don't fault anyone who has ever refused to hire me for personal reasons. At the end of the day, a company is a group of people working together toward a common goal. Company is Latin for those you break bread with, and although companies aren't usually that close-knit (modern business lunches don't have the same level of trust and closeness as an ancient meal) the point is still the same: you're a team.
Shareholders don't always act in a rational way, plenty of companies and trillions in shareholder value have been destroyed by stupid short sighted shareholder demands.
You make a strong, valid point. However, in this case, as someone who worked there for a long time, and knew both the owner, and her family rather well.... I can say with absolute certainty it was to avoid the conflict / hard feelings.

I don't see any cron jobs though...
Intel have historically been very good at fabrication, which represented a considerable competitive advantage. Outsourcing fabrication is much less capital-intensive and can be more flexible, but it's potentially less profitable because the foundry needs to make a profit. The relationship between a chip design company and their foundry partner is fairly complex (especially at cutting-edge nodes), with the foundry providing considerable expertise and design support.

Node size names have become fairly arbitrary, with no direct connection to any particular feature size. Intel's 10nm is effectively the same as everyone else's 7nm. In either case, the actual pitch between transistor gates is about 54nm. There are ostensibly standards set through the IRDS, but there's a clear marketing imperative to advertise a smaller node size.
I dream of a time when there is a slow news day so they publish less content. Also dream of a day when you turn on a new station and breaking news is in fact breaking news.

I'm all in favor of healthy, competitive free markets with reasonable assurances to protect consumers and control for externalities. Basically your boilerplate I-took-some-econ-courses-in-college mentality.

The problem is only in very large cities is there any internet competition, information asymmetry and deceptive advertising practices harm consumers, and having free and open access to information is in societies best interests.

Capitalism requires that everyone play by the same rules, that those rules be fair, and that there be competition and alternatives. Without net neutrality, a single corporation can dictate to an unprecedented degree what information you have access to for any purpose whatsoever with no recourse. This isn't because they're in the business of generating information, but because they put themselves between the producer and the consumer. It's not any different from the anti-competitive practices of the robber-baron era where Standard Oil owned the rail roads, then priced out competition from transporting their oil to gain a monopoly. We know from the past behavior and the current behavior of ISPs in other countries that the reason they want to end net neutrality is so that they can price out and block YouTube to gain a monopoly on video services, or to do the same to any other area they want, simultaneously making more money and the world worse off because of it.

I love businesses. But when Standard Oil charges certain companies one rate for train fare and themselves a different one, or when Bell charges you extra fees to connect to non-Bell telephones (or blocks them entirely), then you have a market failure and the government needs to step in and break up those companies and force them to be competitive. Without competitive markets, you don't have capitalism, you have feudalism.

The anti-union marketing campaign is still going strong, so I suspect you are correct.

I have been forced to sit in company meetings where they help drive the anti-union message home every time there is the slightest talk about organizing. Have you had one? I am curious how wide the practice is.

I used to work in healthcare, which could really use some representation too.
Ban away then.
I recognize that, but I'm assuming there was an assumption 7nm was coming up soon. As that is no longer the case, would they change their plans?
Lactose content in typical Italian Gorgonzola cheese: a pilot study (2012)
> I'm not a fan of UBI, but arguing against $1,000 per person seems like a bit of a strawman. For a 4 person family that's $4,000 take home per month, which is well above median income for the US when you factor in taxes and benefits. This strongly encourages people to pump out kids for the stipend.
Doesn't it make more sense to make it $1,000 per household + $100/person?

The average cost of raising a child is about $1000 per month, and though it would probably be less if you're destitute enough to subsist off of UBI, I'm not sure that having even more kids is a winning move. The Child Tax Credit is more than $1000 already.

But it looks like children are 25% of the US population, and reducing the expenditure by another 25% doesn't really make a huge dent, to be honest.
>> It consumes more than it produces

One of the things the US produces with it's huge military spending is stability. The way the rest of the world pays for that stability is through buying T bills that pay <2% Every empire throughout history has demanded taxes from client countries, the way the US collects those taxes might be unique. All that is a long way of saying: don't worry about all that debt, it will never be paid back.

> "I’ve been able to almost double it by adding a ferrite sheet to the back side of the stator coils to contain the coils’ magnetic field lines."

I never heard of a ferrite sheet, completely awesome! I liked the article, but IMO the title is a little misleading. What I gathered is that he 3d printed the rotor only. I'm assuming the actual 4 layer pcb was etched. The rotor was still wound manually. The hall sensor still soldered by hand.

The print notion implies production automation, which is my only gripe. His hackaday has a more accurate title "PCB Motor".

VMware Buys CloudHealth, Pushes Stupid Multi-Cloud Narrative
Intel, Samsung - They design chips as well as fabricate them. Design starts from a very high level specification down to individual transistors.

Fabs such as TSMC, Global Foundries etc.: They manufacture chips in addition to specifying the rules to be followed when laying out the logical design (circuits) on silicon. Rules differ by the given node (7nm, 10nm, 14nm etc.) and specify things such as the width of a gate, thickness of a metal wire on the chip, spacing and tolerances etc. The actual number just indicates technology advancement. 7nm means the manufacturing process is more advanced than the 10nm process and has little to do with physical reality. Hence Intel's 10nm process might not be the same as TSMC's 10nm. While Intel can in principle adhere to TSMC's 7nm process, they already have their own R&D and develop their process in-house. Switching to a different foundry's node would involve redoing a number of steps before the chip can be manufactured. Besides, fabs guard their process jealously and are very protective of their IP.

Design companies such as AMD, Qualcomm, Broadcom etc. just design the circuits and adhere to the specification of their chosen fab and node to layout the design on silicon.

Honestly, the Pentagon doesn't need to work with Silicon Valley, it just needs to put together teams of incredibly bright people who are smart enough to understand the AI technology coming out of Silicon Valley AND willing to work defense projects. It's delusional to think that all bright people who are capable of working in this realm are anti-defense-industry. I don't think it would be that hard to get that talent with VERY competitive salaries (if not outright generously overpaid) and maybe some other perks like the ability to work anywhere in the country and a cool cryptic group name. Hence JAIC. At any point, if it catches wind of something that's new and potentially an AI game changer, it has the authority to demand to see the IP for national security reasons, and feed that to a defense contractor. In fact any patent can be reviewed and deemed classified in this manner. Take the olive branch and come to terms with the fact that western civilization is not defended by pacifists.
There was an interesting slide from a few years back that showed the net profit (less investment) of all the leading edge contract foundries since the founding of TSMC. It was very easy to see that since then, TSMC has earned more than the total net profit of the industry. Everyone else invests a lot of money to maybe stay somewhat competitive and still lose money, while TSMC is swimming in it.

This is just situation normal.

Sadly I could not find the slide online.

Thiel's point is orthogonal to the point you are making.

His point could just as easily be applied to an argument for the German system to have only three board members with one worker's representative member.
In much of the US, homes are gaining value at better than minimum wage rates per hour. Given that people working minimum wage jobs cannot work 24/7, owning a home is putting money in your pocket faster than a minimum wage job.

This means that downward pressure on home prices amounts to slowing hyperinflation to a more reasonable rate. This isn't remotely the same as gutting the equity for existing homeowners (much less putting them "upside down," where they owe more than the house is worth).
