I suppose it's hard for me to conceptualise because here in the UK, anywhere with restricted parking also has public transport.

Here, generally restricted parking exists within 10-15 minutes walk of a train station (to stop people blocking up residential streets when they commute in to town).

So if there's restricted parking, you can get by with one car (or no cars), for the most part.
I remember reading an analysis saying it's the "persistence" features in games that have the strongest potential for addition. E.g. you could play Counter-Strike all night, but the only thing you bring out is your improved skills. Unlike MMORPGs and similar where you "develop the character" and "accumulate equipment" (these days, also for real money).

> What did parents do before that when they need to cook dinner?

I know this is kind of a rhetorical question, but:

- they'd prepare dinner ahead of time

- the other parent would watch the kids

- they'd have extended family watch the kids

- they'd have neighbors watch the kids

- they'd park the kid in the kitchen

- they'd hope that the kid didn't do anything too destructive in the other room
Also concentration camps.

But no one has pulled out of China. Companies still seem to be falling over themselves to help. Personally my feeling is that any engineer working on software or hardware to support this kind of effort should be considered a party to it, and so be subject to international law. Especially in the US and Europe where there is no “I was afraid for my life” justification.
Advertising to kids happens through Youtube and Instagram, not those ugly Adsense iframes that can be spotted a mile away and at this point fall under "banner blindness" for a lot of users.

I'm not a gamer so I don't know much about Zelda, but the sort of hypnotic hold some Youtube/Insta personalities have on kids is astonishing. They will parrot their talking points, talk about them relentlessly with friends and buy whatever they're shilling, be it makeup, game guides, phone skins, what have you.
To be clear, I am not arguing that inequality in the US is "fine" because it exists elsewhere. I think I've tried to make that clear in my posts.

I am arguing a few other things:

* That it is hypocrisy for anyone to argue against wealth inequality in the US, but decry jobs going overseas

* That it is wrong to not care about wealth inequality in the world while moaning that we're only in the top 95th percentile of human wealth

* That things in the US are nowhere near as bad as they are commonly portrayed

> It seems more equivalent as a legal precedent to someone sending a forged letter from a nonexistent employee on similar looking letterhead.

Well that's the question I guess, if you don't have SPF enabled is it like what you said, or is it more like allowing random people to come into your office at night and send out whatever they want on your actual company letterhead?

I don't know if there is legal precedent there or what a judge would rule, but it doesn't strike me as being completely obvious that this is a simple cut-and-dried case where the client still owes the full amount of the original payment.
Oracle is exactly what I had in mind or Google, and I don’t know which is worse, because projects at Google don’t have a high survival rate.
I wonder what the results would be if they included grand-parents (and similar close relatives) in the count of time spent. Because parents are not the only close adults being able to provide a 'parental' role of supervision and care; and families have gotten more and more split along the years, with an always more isolated parent(s)-child(ren) nucleus.

Speaking of isolation, father's time may rise, mother's time may rise as well, and yet the time spent with parents may decrease too: think of the multiplication of single mothers (and to a lesser degree single fathers).

Good theory but not necessarily true. The attacker might still wish to use a spoofed domain to ensure that they get delivery of all replies.

In cases where Gmail and Office 365 accounts get hacked like this, the attacker will enable email forwarding to an address they can monitor for replies, and delete replies from the clients so that the compromised person does not see them. I am not sure if you can do this easily with a godaddy mailbox.
I strongly disagree with you. The person who sent that money will want to get their money back and you are in the middle. At the very least I would want to stop doing business with someone who communicates bank information in such a careless manner. It's possible these are such tiny companies that they do things like that. In any case, I'd blame the other person whom I thought I was sending money to.

And yet, I have grown to dislike markdown.

Markdown it's essentially ASCII art for simple documents. Nothing wrong with that, but it is not seperation of concerns. Rather, it is simplicity of some concerns.

And to make it hugely amusing, the rules in markdown for just content are not much different than TeX.
I still prefer dark background with white text to this day, even when the web came around I tried to keep all my software/OS with dark background/white text. To this day I'll try to use "night mode" if available.

It's so much less strain on the eyes, especially during the night or after waking up. Going from darkness to a blazing white screen literally hurts in the eyes.

It's using 'current carbon' which is basically the same thing. Plants grow using CO2 in the air, we burn the plants and that CO2 is released again. If we just left the biomass to rot on the ground it'd produce CO2 and / or Methane depending on the type of decomposition it underwent.

Verses plants and animals lived millennia ago, died, got compressed by huge geological forces and finally we come along and extract it and burn it.

Same old story.

When XP came out, people were moaning that it looks like shit and how they wanted the XP kernel, but the 2000 look.

When Vista came out, same thing again, all that Aero looks like shit, disable it so that it looks like XP classic.

Now 10 comes out, same story, looks like shit, we want it to look like 7.

You should think deeper to see what drives this desire of yours. I bet that when Vista came out with the Aero look, you felt like it's shit forced on you, and you wanted the XP classic look. Now you want the Aero look that you once hated. Ironic, isn't it?
We need to develop a reflexive (yes, unthinking) ethical response to digital technology, one that's built from common-sense analysis of the long-term side effects, and train it into our kids (and others we care about).

As an analogy, "don't eat that: it's dirty" is not a proposition that's meant to be analyzed on a case by case basis, it's meant to be applied automatically to the entire world excepting a few very clear circumstances. It's a good heuristic.

I don't know what the digital equivalents will be, but would love to hear suggestions.

It makes a lot of sense. If Islam causes terrorism, forcing people to not be Islamic is one way to deal with it.

Of course, it's not really tenable in societies with freedom of religion, and goes against the fundamental axiom of a free society, that people who don't hurt anybody should be able to quietly live their lives without government harassment.

No mainstream Western politician will make the case, though. There's too much money to be made from doing business with China, and no one wants to be seen defending Islam too much after 9/11.

And it might just make China a target. Pre-9/11 the US was pretty tolerant of Muslims, and we still got attacked. It seems like this kind of repression makes an open-and-shut case for jihad against China, if you're a radical Muslim instigator.

My experience has been more and more highly dense real estate is built with exactly the number of parking spaces as needed and no more. Developers extract the most revenue that way - to the detriment of people who actually wind up living there. That was my experience in LV anyway. It looked to be the case in SV as well.
> Which is the VCS most suitable for ....

Git.

It doesn't matter what your question is. :-)

I mean, come on, it's not like you have a choice. You gotta use whatever your teammates/coworkers/organization is using.

That said, yeah, there's a lot of pedagogic problems with git stemming from the INSANE inconsistency of command-line. The only redeeming quality? It works and it's popular.
> Gonna need a source on that one, chief.

The example I always use is when a college coach tells an athlete they've been accepted to a college before the admissions committee formerly approves them, and they actually get rejected. This happens dozens of times per year, and the reason you never see any lawsuits about it is that the colleges just let them in to avoid the bad publicity.
That specific point was that people often start a business because they want the freedom of not having a boss, but in many ways you always have someone you're serving, be it a boss or a customer.

The wider point was: both bootstrapping and VC funding are good options, depending on your specific circumstances and goals at the time. One isn't objectively better than the other.
Hey, great to meet the author on HN!

First of all, let me say that I liked the article. I am the one who posted it to HN after all.

Maybe "short" was not the perfect word to express what I mean. I mean that the message/idea is kind of short. It's almost like a showerthought "See this chart? It looks like they are in the red all the time. But think of it this way: They build success after success. They could have been profitable ever since Model S. But they keep investing in bigger projects instead.".

Interesting, that the revenue is significantly higher then $0.001 per visitor. Because it looks like the main ad spots are filled with Google Ads. Which I run too. Do advertisers really target specific sites manually via Google Ads? I would have thought they do that algorithmically based on demographic factors.
This is the conclusion that a lot of people on HN seem to be reaching. Now how do we go about filtering out the 'bad screen' while allowing the 'good screen?'
Game of Thrones reference. It’s usually not intended to be quite as snarky as it sounds, as it’s often used just because fans of the show are tempted to apply it. Otherwise, your perception is accurate.
Ask HN: How will the world change because of fusion energy?
The internet made the cost of information zero. Fusion promises to make the cost of energy production negligible. What do you think is currently impractical due to high energy usage that is going to be enabled by the advent of fusion energy?
I don't quite understand this. 2 scenarios:

1. Juicero who burned through $118 million with nothing to show for it

2. bootstrapped startup with $0 funding that made profits

It sounds like you would rather be the founder of #1 and not #2? Why though
What if I think I'm approximately the 100th smartest person in the world?

But only when it comes to, say, J2EE?

Like I'm the 100th smartest person at J2EE in the world, and everyone else besides the approximately 100 above me are J2EE-inferior.

Am I a Narcissist? A J2EE-Narcissist?
Maybe, if you define 'technology' to be just things like instruction sets and transistor geometry.

By that narrow definition, phones contain more than technology: they contain policy. A phone loaded with addictive games embodies a policy of maximizing screen time. A phone with clickbait on its lock screen is designed to take up your time and bathe your retinas in bullshit. While the transistors are neutral, the policy is harmful.

As it happens, these policies are often set by people that mostly work on technology, so they get lumped together. From outside, people see the technology industry being responsible for all of it.
Funny you should mention meditation. It is something I am trying to incorporate into my life since early this year. Nothing fancy, I just use some guided meditation I find (usually 10 min long) and close my office door and listen to it. Unfortunately, I have yet to experience the full benefit of meditation since I only manage 2 sessions a week. However, when I it properly (ie, I don't get interrupted), I breathe better, my body is relaxed, and the head is clear.
My intake of refined sugar is very low (usually 0 most days), but I still crave caffeine quite a bit. I find the only way I can cut coffee is to taper it back and suffer for a few days, and even then I can't get down to zero caffeine intake. I tried quitting all forms of caffeine for about a month and I'm never trying that again as it was pretty horrible the whole time.
I've been going through exactly the same issue since my kid was born (in my early 30s now). Reading your post was weird.

I wonder if it's worth digging in to our situation more seriously. Is there a specialist we can talk to about this kind of stuff? Are there tests?

The only conclusion I've come to is, putting it simply, we're dealing with: a) more things b) more complicated things. I had less to worry about when I was younger and the problems were comparatively simple. Now I'm getting paid a ton of money to work on very complex systems. This requires juggling more information that's way more complex.

I dunno.
Not sure what this has to do with modeling.

On the other hand, this could be useful for generating NPC/character portraits in RPGs.Fat chance this will ever happen, though. No one wants to deal with Python mess of libraries and no one seems to care about putting neural net stuff in self-contained, reusable packages.

Note-taking is a learned skill. When I was in school, they actually taught us several different techniques for taking notes and I am not sure that is a universal part of education. They told us that studies showed people typing notes just write down verbatim what was being said because they can type so fast, which then is useless information as far as later reference is concerned. Writing notes properly actually forces one to distill the important information and take note of particularly confusing parts so that when you come back to the notes they are a helpful recall mechanism for important information.
Imposter syndrome, like social anxiety, is the result of an incessant obsession with what others think of you. Both of these are conceited forms of narcissism.

Most people aren't trying to minimize their transportation costs though, in the same way that people aren't trying to minimize their housing costs when buying a house. People get the nicest car, and biggest house, that they can afford. If you have a long commute, I think it makes sense to get a pretty nice car, considering how much time you spend in it, and how annoying it is to have your car break down or need repairs at random times.

Joking aside, I think lisp is nearly fundamental in the same way that c is.

The first 3-4 people mentioned in that article were connected to Facebook and Youtube, so "no shit" comes to mind when you think about them having a questionable relationship with tech and their own decision-making. Part of an education for anyone should be to understand why those two sites specifically can be problematic even if sometimes useful.

Having bootstrapped and taken VC funding, none of the issues described in the article go away with VC funding. You will be just as overworked and just as underpaid with VC funding. What does change is you now have all those negatives plus a ticking clock.

VC funding can solve many problems, but not those.

The evolution of DOS and Windows over the last 30 years makes me wonder if Windows is really even Windows.

It started out as a Windowing environment that ran on top of DOS but with Windows 95 it switched to a Windowing OS that also ran DOS. Later all of that was replaced with an entirely different OS (NT/XP) that basically supports the legacy OS in emulation.
I disagree. APM/APS is a requirement to play StarCraft well just like physical prowess is a requirement to play hockey. But it's far from being the only requirement.
What a strange end-goal. I'm not sure why you would want to "reauthor" a DVD or a Blu-Ray, as their contents are much more convenient once you've ripped and transcoded them. The difficulty he encountered doesn't sound like a good reason at all to buy DVDs instead.

I have roughly 200 Blu-Rays in my collection, and I've watched maybe one or two of them in an actual Blu-Ray player.
1) I agree that it can cost a material amount to raise money in any manner, be it debt or equity. That said, Tesla was in an okay place to raise money after the success of Models S and X, and had all of the information to reasonably project that spending on Model 3 production would outstrip inflows from existing sales to a degree that could put the company's finances in a relatively precarious state. They were not reasonably inhibited from raising further cash to justify not doing so prior to ramping Model 3 production.

2) You're right, by car manufacturer standards the company is trading at an incredible premium, I should have been more clear. I meant discounted in the sense that "the street" marked their targets on Tesla down from where they had been as a result of these financial concerns.

3) The term "discussions" may even be too strong for the few conversations that occurred prior to the tweet. It was incredibly irresponsible, and it's somewhat difficult to interpret his intent as anything but to manipulate the stock price and punish short sellers.

The author did not debunk the claim that cash management was a problem. Cash management was a problem and may continue to be a problem in the future. Rapid cost-cutting and non-payment to vendors seems indicative of poor cash management to me. Anytime that a company's runway becomes a relevant part of an objective analysis, there are cash issues. Tesla did not need to give cause for investors to call into question its financial stability in order to make the Model 3.

Don't get me wrong, I want Tesla to thrive. It just seems as though many of these issues of financial stability need not have occurred. I agree that better governance is in order and that Tesla and many other organizations can benefit from a greater degree of independent oversight.
My reservations about Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub are not that they might ruin it or whatever, but that I've no interest in adding to the value of any Microsoft product by being their user.

For the same reason I use a Gnu/Linux operating system. Truthfully there are things that I imagine MS or apple might do better, but that's beside the point for me. It's a political stance.
I will miss Filmstruck. Their film catalog was practically the mirror image of Netflix's: older films, foreign films, and (my favorite) access to the whole Criterion Collection. I wonder if this means the films they had streaming rights to will reappear on other popular streaming platforms, or if they're going to go back to buy-to-stream. Or worse, if these films will have no legal streaming option at all, just discs.
I remember enjoying this one as a kid. I guess I was too young to have understood the implications of the plot, I can only remember the LOOKER hypnosis gun from this film.
