https://youtu.be/V1PcgtWAEnU : already been done. Americans are far behind the Dutch. What frustrates me is that everyone is making their version of the wheel in their corner instead of collaborating.

Right now, VC money should go to other things like AI, supply chain integrated into production, blockchain etc.

And they must have farmers as partners. Farmers completely distrust tech because we are not included. I gave up trying. It’s like we speak different languages but when tech is trying to create produce for MY domain,isn’t my participation and input necessary?

I am particularly bummed because I applied to YC twice and it always comes back to finding a tech partner. My tech is farming. I know stuff your roboticist or engineer can’t dream of because we live that nightmare of crop failure or machines failing all the time.

At this point, I think I am going to write stories like sci fi or fantasy and maybe someone will realize my vision(or not..who knows..maybe it’s not the right fit, but I will never know) after I am gone. I really enjoy coming up with theoretical solutions because at this point, that’s all I can do.

I would have discouraged Iron Ox from that idea. Who transplants one at a time when technology exists to do thousands at a time? Why? I can’t even wrap my mind around this.
This is really an informative article. We've recently stumbled across this issues and all other pages I could google did not explain it as clearly as this page.
> you can easily find front-end developers with enough design sensibility

As one of those, I'd say that "easily" is a bit strong. Most front-end developers that I have met that claim they could do design outputted bad work.

I'm talking not even following the basic web design rules and commandments of typography.

Things like not properly aligning stuff, not being able to come up with a constant color scheme, having no clue what vertical rhythm is, etc.
What's "private" about your DNA? You spread it everywhere daily. Anyhow these tests are basically pseudo-science. If you like pseudo-science, like probiotics and so, go for it.
That was my first impression, too :) I clicked one headline to see what happens and thought, "cool." Clicked 'back' to return to the title list, and suddenly I'm looking at the HN comments and thinking "what happened?" Took a second for my brain to catch on, like a sort of cognitive shock.

Edit: ya, what hamandcheese said. I guess my tab had been open for a while.
Your doctor is not correct.
Right, I felt like I was going crazy, because I was sure I had read this line before:

>Soon, Imperfect’s single-use cardboard boxes began lining the streets on recycling and garbage days in the East Bay.

but I couldn't find the linked URL elsewhere on HN! It's almost a verbatim quote from the original article:

>Soon, their single use cardboard boxes began lining the streets on recycling and garbage days in the East Bay.

The whole paragraphs are nearly identical:

>Within months of its arrival in the Bay Area, Imperfect Produce fliers were showing up on our car windows, their outreach coordinators were pitching at community meetings, their Facebook advertisements popped up daily in our feeds, and they were edging into community centers we had operated at for years. Their marketing blitz paid off. Soon, their single use cardboard boxes began lining the streets on recycling and garbage days in the East Bay. We lost customers, a lot of customers.

>Within months of its arrival in the Bay Area, Imperfect Produce fliers were showing up on our car windows, its outreach coordinators were pitching at community meetings, its Facebook advertisements popped up daily in our feeds, and it was edging into community centers we had operated at for years.

I'm ideologically against third party on the web because it is a privacy nightmare. But I'm in the system that I'm in, and I don't take on fights that aren't possible to win, so barring my becoming a billionaire I've kinda just accepted that third party is here for at least a little while and I'm not going to refuse to use ads and analytics. Except on my personal website, that gets to stay cool.

That said, CORS is the only thing about third party that I actually like. It's secure by default. That the ensure header and accept header are different things is amazing. I know all about the performance issues[0], but I'm ok with it in the right context.

[0] It's kinda funny how against the herd I am here. I think it is shitty that the preflight sometimes doesn't happen. It's so weird to me that we carved out exceptions for this and seems like an otherwise secure-by-default system should have come with the guaranteed preflight.
Actually, we've received a clarification. 1) fundraisers are excluded from Show HN, it's in the FAQ, and sorry I missed that. 2) the community is generally sensitive to being marketed, and as much as we were enjoying the discussion, others flagged/reported this post.

Everything considered, this is a fair decision.
Well yeah, I'm sure the time/money will pay for itself when he's looking for a job. I know I look favorably at homelabbers during technical interviews and DIY is often the only time you can get exposure to $new_hotness at some jobs.
Not to mention how the Keyboard preference pane allows one to assign custom keyboard shortcuts to any menu item of any application, even when the app’s dev never included or intended such functionality. As long as the app hooks the native menubar, it just works.

Combined that with enabling tab-highlighting of any onscreen control and I’m not sure how macOS lags behind in keyboard control. You can’t quite do system wide vim bindings or anything crazy like that (though hacking around with Hammerspoon would get you close), but that’s going to be difficult with any setup short of a bespoke Linux desktop with a customized WM and very selective set of applications.
I think it’s worth pointing out. We see the same ‘we can’t find people to hire’ point being made by tech companies trying to find developers. The solution is the same for both: pay more. If you’re going to use shorthand it make it accurate. Just say ‘we can’t/don’t want to pay for the workers we need’.
Sounds like you skipped half of the article.
According to CA SB 826:

(f) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:
(1) “Female” means an individual who self-identifies her gender as a woman, without regard to the individual’s designated sex at birth.
That's kind of a bad comparison because the Ford F-Series (or any other pickup platform) is many different vehicles under one name.
That's different from what I'm trying to talk about, which is how zstd might be useful as an HTTP Content-Encoding, and how you might (or might not) limit the window sizes allowed in that context to ensure usability on low-memory clients.
It’s not on by default, but you can turn on keyboard menu accessibility.

Thirtieth anniversary of the publication of Vasily Grossman’s “Life and Fate”
in Europe nobody fantasizes about roadtrips

That's an interesting tidbit. I always thought that they did. I thought the automotive term "GT" meant "Grand Tour" and was European in inspiration.

That's what I get for culling most of my European auto culture information from Top Gear.
Question from an IPFS noob:

When I run the demo, the video plays as expected. However, I wanted to check the network tab to see what it's doing under the hood.

Based on the description, I expected to see a bunch of HTTP GET requests to ipfs.io, fetching the different segments of the movie. However, instead, I see a varying number of websocket connections to ipfs.team, soundclart.com and libp2p.io.

Could someone explain what is going on here? Is this just another IPFS-to-web proxy (based on websockets instead of http) or is this already part of the HLS streaming mechanism?

> But in absolute terms, to be poor today is a great deal better than being poor 100 years.

In the U.S., certainly. In India or Nigeria or Honduras? Not sure.

At any rate, while I agree that in general the health and standard of living of many people is going up -- I lack your confidence that the amount of _free time_, and other resources necessary to produce creative work without compensation, that the majority of people on the planet has is going up or will continue to. It will for some.

Even in the U.S., do the poor have more free time to produce creative work than they did 100 years ago? I seriously doubt it.
>"Sounds to me like they want privileges, why not a few obligations for a change?"

Exactly, recipients of those subsidies should be obligated to contribute to food banks for the poor. I don't believe any such strings are attached today. Source: I have a American friend who has farm land as part of a second home but has never grown a single crop, he receives an annual subsidy check and has now for many years.
How bad are the bad trips? And how often they appear?
I could hear it. So well that in the full sentence it now sounds like the phrase is being sung. It will take a while for that effect to "wear off".

That being said, it may be related to something about western music scales. If you are used to music that doesn't use a 12 interval scale, maybe you wouldn't interpret it as music.

What you need to do is export the file and upload it to Promethease to know all your genetic predispositions. then map your lifestyle/diet in a way that allows you to avoid any early onset. For example: APOE4 = alzheimers, BRCA = Breast cancer. there are plenty of preventative measures to avoid these terrible diseases.

D) Disable Firewall
Some server providers have strict firewall settings. To disable firewall on Ubuntu:
ufw disable

WTF?
Is it worth it, nope.

If you actually got any benefit from knowing your genetic conditions you were more pre disposition to then insurance companies would offer it to you for "free" to improve there screening process (or they could be purchasing that data from 23andme). But really knowing you are 20% more likely to get breast cancer are you going to start getting more breast exams, or just keep on living life?

Plus a couple months ago HN had a link to a news article where they sent there DNA off to multiple companies that do DNA testing and had mix results across the board. Companies like 23andme are only as good as the database of DNA they have. You will always get mix results because comparing DNA falls into NP where you can not improve the time it takes to compare DNA.

You will never get a full picture of you DNA from a service that only charges a few hundred bucks. It is like paying $10 a month and expecting a CDN at google scale.
My understanding when looking back at those bugs, is that they were driver bugs where the driver lied about having committed to the back-buffer. GNOME, at least, tries to blank things and submit the right commands to ensure it's cleared before releasing the suspend lock.

But if the GPU driver is broken about command committal, then there is only so much you can do short of fixing those .
> China is talking to Google because they lack the technological prerequisites to make their goals happen by themselves

Seriously? China has 1.3B people and you don't think that any of them can do the same things people in USA can do?

> technologically inept country

Add up the populations of Europe and USA and you'll still be hundreds of millions away from that of China alone. And you still believe China is technologically inept?

I can't tell if this is satire or if you just hate China. Do you have any measurements demonstrating the ineptitude you mention?
How to evaluate the company culture before joining?

Wikipedia is fundamentally maintained by a pseudononymous swarm of editors who communicate asynchronously. This necessitates that all editors be more or less fungible. The average editor is not equipped to judge the statement "This work is scientifically important". The average editor is much better equipped to judge the statement pair "The Nobel committee holds this work to be scientifically important", "The Nobel committee constitutes a reliable third-party source".
Author here. This library aims to be a compromise between the expressive APIs of CSS-in-JS libraries like styled-components, and the extremely low overhead of plain CSS.

Would love feedback on, in particular, whether it seems like a useful compromise, or whether it fails to capture enough of what's good about either CSS-in-JS or plain CSS on their own.
There are plenty of ways to be notified of breaking news if you so choose to use them. Why should an alert about something that happens in any state have to be broadcast to the whole country with no means of disabling it?

This will help with recruitment, but the sentiment that new workers will essentially get paid the same as older workers is going to immediately be a big sticking point. From watching the Boeing union strikes over many years, I get the sense that once a labor force unionizes they setup their own structure for pay and get that signed off -- where they have seniority and things like that. But it also means the company becomes very adversarial with their work-force and spends most of its time trying to figure out how to get around the demands of the union.

I feel like the concept of unions needs to be rejiggered for the modern era where its less (But still to some degree) about worker safety and more about control over compensation / days off / healthcare stuff.

Maybe somebody could come up with something that is like a union but meant to be more lightweight and more focused on compensation type things and has some self-imposed restrictions on things like strikes and bargaining hold-outs and things like that.
Even IF a level 5 self-driving becomes practical soon (I doubt it based on the fact that AI still lacks commonsense), many human riders would still want an option of manual override.

In the linked article of my post above, the manual override went wrong because the driver fell asleep and that could occur to any rider as well.

Obviously, one could make it harder to override the autonomous system but it would result in slower activation which could result in an accident for any car that still lacks commonsense.

In fact, taking into account the commander/rider’s state of attention should be part of commonsense needed for any level 5 self-driving system.
Most developers “doing design” don’t only miss some basic skills, like proper need analysis, but plain don’t have the time to deeply analyze the problem. I know the “try it and see if it sticks” methods is popular right now, but monkeys won’t write Shakespeare by chance. I’m not telling that front end developers are not talented at what they do, they do know something very valuable. Their skill is to be able to understand designs as well as designer intents, and get them implemented right.

Now for some side project, of course good front end developers are better than no designer at all. Are they able to design for scale and high revenue? Only when they become full time designers.
Atsushi Horiba seems to think this is rubbish.

Does he have a point?
>a widening gap between the wealthy and the poor causing increases in homelessness in cities

For starters, I'd be curious to see a source on whether or not the United States even has a significantly increasing number of homeless per-capita.

Secondly, even if that is the case, the causal relationship between the wealth gap and homelessness would be speculative at best.
I saw an interview with the GM president Dan Annman (sp?). $750mill in cash... Who doesn't like cash?

Then you get to enjoy one bad harvest caused by drought, hail, etc send a large chunk of your farms into bankruptcy and then enjoy food shortages until it becomes profitable to farm again. The subsidies are there to make farming less boom or bust, worst case scenario your citizens get really cheap food.

Potential discrimination or other adverse consequences (insurability, hiring, etc.) down the road (3,5,15 years from now) based upon the results.
This is an awesome overview! But don't take it as all encompassing, it doesn't go into some of the more esoteric edge cases with CORS, like:

* either an unreleased safari version, or the most recent version will send preflight requests even if the request meets the spec (like if the Accept-Language is set to something they don't like).

* If you use the ReadableStream API with fetch in the browser, a preflight will be sent.

* If there are any events attached on the XMLHttpRequestUpload.upload listener, it will cause a preflight

* cross-domain @font-face urls, images drawn to a canvas using the drawImage stuff, and some webGL things will also obey CORS

* the crossorigin attribute will be required for cross-origin linked images or css, or the response will be opaque and js won't have access to anything about it.

* if you mess up CORS stuff, you get opaque responses, and opaque responses are "viral", so they can cause entire canvas elements to become "blacklisted" and extremely restricted.

I feel like I've cut my teeth on this API more than most, and I still feel like I'm only scratching the surface!
"The bottom line is that this tiny satellite collected data that is as good as the data from a billion-dollar government satellite." -- It is strange that this doesn't trigger anyone else's alarm bells. Did anyone even care to show the exact difference in data between these two sources? Where is the evidence there is a significant figure accuracy difference?
It’s a new thing, maybe since 2017? Regardless, I think it’s the right way to do it.
Leafy greens are low hanging goals because 1. Quick turn around (45-60 days) 2. Easy to create hybrids suitable for whatever environment 3. Single harvest(as opposed to tomatoes where there is flowers, ripe and unripe and over ripe fruit amongst canopy all the time).4. We are not trying to make it flower or fruit which makes nutrients easier. 5. Low energy. Doesn’t need a lot of light or heat.
Interestingly, none of them mention Hadoop. It makes sense to merge from a business point of view, and on a technical level it could finally mean more work on polishing the gazillion tools they include, which is badly needed.
If we're being serious here, I'm pretty sure Go is specifically for very very large orgs and almost no-one else. Go optimises for low GC pause time, fast compile times and in-your-face concurrency at the expense of almost everything else. The fact that CSP is formalised and well studied, and the lang itself is sufficiently C-like and stripped down makes it amenable to large scale static analysis as well.

I thought it was more like required quotas to fulfill or risk getting fired?
Anecdotal, but still: I used to drive an Audi with a ton of advanced L2 systems (adaptive cruise control + lane assist). Both systems work from standstill to ~180km/h (well above highway speeds). While not perfect, I did use them both all the time, and the way you drive changes. You learn 'how' the systems work really fast.

The thing that changed for me while driving with both systems engaged is that my role changed from driving and continuously making small adjustments to stay centered in the lane and keeping the right distance. With the systems engaged, I was mostly monitoring that they work accurately. I don't have to bother continuously with most things, I can spend more time watching all surroundings to watch for anomalies / things the systems can't handle.

The end result for me at least felt a lot safer, and more relaxed. The systems felt very, very reliable.
