Glad to be out of that ecosystem though. I've been doing my primary work on Linux since I started my (nascent) career, and it's only gotten better. I occasionally have to virtualize Windows (for data compatibility, reverse engineering, or cross-validation reasons [and in one case, to test a windows program developed primarily against Wine, which turned out never to have been necessary]).

Its not about inflated cost. It removes your ability to get a higher loan amount, . And increases the risk in the transaction as the cash component is now not backed by any documentation. And finally, it increases any eventual capital gains you have to pay unless you again perpetuate the cycle by taking black money.

> The photosphere is no more well defined unless you specify a particular wavelength, or you admit defeat and accept averages as perfectly fine physical properties.

That stellar spectra (ignoring absorption lines) are broadly consistent with blackbody emission suggests that the size of the photosphere changes slowly with wavelength (i.e., that the opacity isn't a strong function of wavelength, otherwise there'd be a strong temperature gradient in the optically emitting regions). So from the standpoint of optical emission it's within the precision of measurements to think about it as as a single radius/surface. Or to put it another way, the change in photosphere size across the UV/optical/NIR is, for most stars, a small fraction of the radius. Thus the relative change in the size is small compared to the overall size. So while you're technically correct, "accepting defeat" won't be of significant practical importance to our understanding of the basic properties of stars (at least when discussing the continuum; absorption lines may have larger "sized" photospheres due to their increased optical depth at larger distances). Thus while talking about a single photosphere is not technically correct statement, it's nonetheless a useful way to describe the physical system.

I can't see more commercially-oriented paper/website open-sourcing any of their code, even if it's a (good imho) recruitment ploy.

There's very little cost to opening it up, and a huge benefit (recruitment as you say, openness, community engagement, maybe even bug fixes..). Why not open up the code?
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) apply for when it's too foggy: Less than 3 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1000 ft above ground.

When you are on an IFR flight plan and comms fail you stick to your flight plan if still in the clouds and arrive at various point at the time you are expected. Priority during comms failure is landing in good weather if able.

It's true.

However to have an understanding of things from top to bottom is definitely a benefit. People get silo'd in their various layers and lack comprehension of much that's going on below (or above) them.

It can make you a more rounded developer, to have a good idea of the whole stack, even if it's not always in-depth and some of the mental models used aren't strictly true.

The usual approach is to sum the present values of the expectations of any future cashflows.

For most cryptocurrencies, most people come unstuck at that point and just punt.

The only analytical approach I could foresee being useful would be if you could quantify the quality of the marketing of the new asset. My expectation is that that likely drives the bulk of the pricing most of the time.
Actually, the memory mapped approach of the C64 is an abstracted API. It’s so immediate and intuitive, though, I can see why you might not think of it that way.

(I started on the Pet and later th C64, and had so internalized this approach that I was baffled when I first encountered systems where this wasn’t the primary approach.)

I think there’s actually a lesson here for API design today: the power of the “everything’s-a” approach. Then it was everything’s a memory location. But generally the everything’s-a approach allows for a flat abstraction space with low cognitive overhead and high inherent/automatic composability, leading to short learning curves and high productivity.

That's absolutely not true. Magnetic stripe is just a dumb carrier of information - you can buy a $5 reader off eBay and read every card in the world, it's not protected in any way. Modern NFC cards do not surrender their information to some random reader - they need to receive a valid cryptographic key first to reply with the data - and such key can only be produced by an authorized terminal. A normal NFC reader will not read any data off a contactless card, it's just not possible(yes I am aware that there have been attacks demonstrated, but they were all timing based, with extremely limited use in real world).
Civilian crypto exists, but is likely poisoned. If anything their goal is to be open about backdoors that already assuredly exist.

Being outside the business, I found it surprising as well! The fonts are named GuardianTextWeb, GuardianSansWeb, etc., suggesting to me they have been purposely commissioned by The Guardian to obtain a differentiated look and feel.

However the license is non-exclusive and revocable, and restrictive to the point that only web seems to be allowed. The fonts are indeed available for purchase: https://commercialtype.com/catalog/guardian which from the point of view of protecting the look and feel of your brand that you just commissioned seems a bit weird.
I would recommend to double check those links to the github orgs, I’m sorry to say they are small projects. Can’t compare with publishing the whole frontend, their image managing library and their text editor.

Even if they were interested, are we sure apple can still operate efficiently? A lot of large companies, including HP and Microsoft, hit a point where they have trouble getting even relatively simple things done (like replacing a keyboard).
I don't see how that is internally-consistent.

If (?) you agree that it's a bad idea to trust banks, why do you think it's a good idea for everyone to trust banks?

If banks are not trustworthy, everyone who distrusts banks is making the right call. More people making the right call is a net win for society. After all, all society is is a bunch of people.
I can't decide how much I buy this argument. I was born in 1980, and started programming Logo and BASIC very young (around 5 and 7 years old respectively). Almost everything this post describes is familiar to me: typing in code from books, learning PEEK and POKE, etc. I just don't think much of that matters: whether you learn BASIC on a stupid terminal that can't do much else, or in a super simulated terminal in a web browser seems kind of irrelevant.

OTOH, the experience of learning C and having to actually write video and network drivers (or their barest elements) because there wasn't a web you could download a library from...yeah, that probably actually did make me a better programmer. Having had the experience of writing a little bit of actual assembler, even just the old "MOV AX 10; INT 13" (am I remembering that right?) does give me a sense of connecting with the machine more deeply than someone who grew up with the internet.

On the first hand again though...living through the late 90s and most of the 2000s was crap. The time of Java. And the worst kind of JavaScript. I pretty much stopped coding altogether until the web had matured as a platform a bit, by the early 2010s.

It's a bad sign you're already talking in absolutes.

So, you release apps that you've literally never tested on the platforms you support? I bet they work great.

Arguing that Electron is a reason not to use a Mac, is like arguing that McDonalds is a reason not to learn how to cook.

So.. it's "full control", so long as you pick a distro whose developers/maintainers have chosen to support the combination of devices in the laptop spec you chose.... sounds great.

> if you pick Fedora or Ubuntu

So now it's "full control" so long as you pick one of two distros, and hardware that meets their requirements to support...

> Yet, I see here people spending their working hours

Oh, I must have missed the new "posting during work hours" flag.

Also - I'd argue that most people on HN don't get paid hourly, they're paid a salary, so if they fuck around on HN for 40 minutes whinging about their laptop, it doesnt actually cost them anything.

> as if they had no other choice in life

Of course their are choices. I didn't reply to you because you said "I use Distro X on Hardware Y and it works great", I replied because you said "Why would any developer prefer a Macbook running MacOS, over a Thinkpad running Linux?".

People complain about "personal anecdotal evidence" being pretty low value - but it's still fucking better value than making blanket, absolute statements, which upon further digging are in fact nuanced with layer after layer of caveats and unstated details.
>> I don't always agree with their opinions or editorials

I really don't know why this always has to be pointed out when it comes to classic mass media. I would say: "Good thing" because if you'd always agree, they would be doing a lousy job. Newspapers shouldn't be worldview-repeaters, especially in the op-eds. Lots of people look for validation of their already existing worldviews instead of critically reflecting other opinions.
Hi,

In last few months, I have seen many people posting status and updates on Twitter and LinkedIn about their job search struggle.

I have been thinking very hard on how I can possibly help them find a job.

At the same time I have been using hacker news and product hunt a lot.

So I thought of building a platform which combines hacker news and producthunt like voting system but for job seekers for endorsing them to find a job.

If a company sees you bottling their moat, of course they’re going to come after you. I think this particular thing could have been symbiotic, and maybe valuable enough to be a reasonable acquisition target by Amazon, but it’s hard to thread that needle as a 3rd party tool, especially when many of them are adversarial because of lack of official API support, or the general difficulty of running a business based entirely off another business’s data.
Furthermore, adversaries get to directly test against the filter. It's like writing a computer virus. Anti-virus software does not help against even rewritten viruses because every virus writer tests every virus against every antivirus they get their hands on, and they retry, changing something, until it passes.

Therefore, no antivirus ever catches a new virus.

Same problem with copyright filters. Plenty of bad actors spend days, weeks or months finding (even automated) ways to bypass them.

"Better than other trackpads on the market" and "the trackpad is great" are two different statements.
It's always been trendy to bash Apple's products, call anyone who likes them a "fanboy", rant about the Reality Distortion Field, etc. etc.

Truth is, things that are actually objectively wrong (like flaky first-gen version of this keyboard) get fixed, and the rest is... subjective. I'm on a MBP with touch bar and I don't have a problem with it. I've never particularly liked any laptop keyboard, and at my desk I always plug in a mechanical keyboard, but I just don't get the pure frothing-at-the-mouth hatred for this thing. It's a laptop keyboard. It's not the best one I've ever used, but it's also nowhere near the worst.

My feeling is that this is the latest iteration of people wanting some particular design choice they disagree with to finally be the thing that opens everyone's eyes and proves that their hatred of Apple was perfectly objective and rational all along. But it never actually seems to, y'know, happen. And every year or two they all move on to writing endless articles about some new thing that will finally be the one that destroys Apple once and for all.
My accounts were created separately in the early days of YouTube and they got linked against my will.

I don’t use my gmail for anything else anymore so I don’t care, but it was frustrating back when it happened. I know it’s just anecdotal and not a proper reference like you requested..

Ask HN: Potential JV Structure with List Co
Over the past 3 years, my team(2 remote) and I have been engaged by List Co to build out products for their business. To-date the products we have built are CRUD apps that solve a niche need. The terms of our engagement were that we develop at cost, maintain ownership of all IP and charge an on-going licensing and maintenance fee.

During this time we have had the opportunity to work closely with stakeholders at all levels and understand the long-term vision of the business, how the industry is transforming and the role that technology will play in their transformation. With this knowledge, the team and I decided to proactively build out a product(To-date development sits at ~$100k USD) to solve one of the industries immediate needs.

After having the opportunity to demo the product to all C level execs at List Co and take them through our vision they have recently responded by pushing for the setup of a JV. During our initial discussions, they have expressed interest in owning 51% with equal voting rights and that all IP created including the product which was demoed to be transferred to the new entity. They are open to commercialising the product but this won't be viable if knowledge of their part ownership comes to light.

This is unfamiliar territory and I have an exhaustive list of questions. I do intend on engaging a lawyer in the next two weeks after we further our discussion and I can better gauge their seriousness.

My immediate questions are;
- Has anyone experienced something similar and what were the terms of your arrangement?
- How do we go about valuing the business? The products we built specifically for them haven't been licensed to others.
- If I wanted to exit the business in X years how should I go about building this in?
- What are some other considerations to take into account?
A font family with the weights and other options a newspaper needs is a major undertaking. It's maybe 5 to 10 person-years of rather specialised work. For a publication constantly fighting to even break even, the costs aren't trivial.

So, the answer obviously is: the Guardian got the font far cheaper by allowing it to be sold to other customers, and (relevant here) not paying for a license that allows sub-licensing (which would be completely useless to them, anyway).

I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually a deal where no money changed hands, with the foundry getting the Guardian name for PR, and constant feedback during the design process.

As to web design: unless otherwise specified, web design is covered by the same copyright rules as fonts (or movies, or books,...). The correct analogy actually is a customer selling your design to some third party, something that probably would upset quite a few designers.

As for the customer changing a design: that's an infringement of the creator's so-called "moral rights". Its legality varies between jurisdictions, I believe.
This is very true. Marketing drives the perceived value a lot of the time. But this is a short/medium term trick. In the long term just the ones valuable will survive.

Do you look at specific data points to understand if the asset is overvalued or a scam?
