I just found a way to display two languages in the youtube subtitles :) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/two-captions-for-y...

Things like CNI take away from the development and understanding of general networking technology to scripts and json/yaml wrappers that not only add another layer of complexity but also prevent users from understanding what they are actually using.

For instance in this post itself we learn about all these CNI wrappers but learn nothing about Vxlan, BGP and Linux networking tools that these are using underneath. And those are actually easy to use directly. This does a disservice to both developers and users.

For instance true game changers in this space is tech like Wireguard that can deliver encryption at near line speed and would kill these benchmarks. Everyone can benefit from Wireguard today. Initiatives like CNI encourage wrappers and those then wrapping tools like Wireguard end up getting the recognition and success while the underlying tools like Wireguard fade into the background. This does not seem like a healthy or sustainable development model.
Well, either my general contractor was an idiot and paid too much, or more than $200 a run.

Everything adds up, and when you realize that your kids are going to watch moves on their tablets, you quickly realize that money is better spent on something else.

I just ran ethernet and CATV cables to where the TVs go.

This reminds me of one of the demos that used to come with Sound cards back when I was in high school. You could make anything sound like it was inside of a concert hall, a bathroom, or a street... You could even "position" yourself to make different tunes comes from different angles.
True.

I'm just amazed that there seems to be a fair amount of back-end developers who don't know anything about this. Probably because SQL systems are used at more conservative companies with older customers?
Not knowing anything about the CEO of Intel, there are certainly many other driving motives for folks besides money and retirement. There's legacy, loyalty to family, country, environmentalism, pride, general ethics, etc. Certainly some business managers are driven by pure greed, but you'd certainly have to make a case more than point out someone's age to indicate that.
I'm curious how important "6. hatch door doesn't open if battery is dead." is -- I can count the number of times my battery has died in the past decade on one finger - and that time it still had enough power to unlock the doors, it just couldn't start the car. (door not closed all the way all weekend so the interior lights were on)

My car doesn't have an electric-only trunk lock, but if it did, I could just fold the seats down for access to the trunk... and I could crawl in and pull the emergency release if I really needed to open it.
I largely believe it is due to economic woes in the US but they also realize there are many countries in the EU that have a drug epidemic despite have a better social net.

> This diet sounds miserable. You'd be hungry all the time. I would also much rather eat low-carb (and I do, I am a T2 diabetic that eats a ketogenic diet).

Not eating anything, and only eating proteins and fats, are both difficult for me. And simply abstaining is actually easier. When I consume anything I begin craving not only carbs, but craving the stimulation of eating, period.

I think its finally uncontroversial to say that not all calories are the same. But eating is more than just the metabolic process; like smoking it's about the physical habits and stimulation. In that way eating chips is not much different than eating pork rinds, and for some people that's what matters most.

Remember the Master Cleanser and juice fast fads? People consuming nothing but raw sugar for days, weeks, and even months on-end derived similar benefits--weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, etc. And for some people it was really easy because you could sip on your drink constantly throughout the day, which was in an important way the antithesis of abstinence. Not all calories are the same, but it's still the case that fewer calories are better. Just do whatever it takes to get you to fewer calories.

I'm not trying to equivocate diets--vitamins, minerals, and fiber still matter. But, again, calorie count is ultimately the most important metric. How you manage it is largely a matter of your personal tastes and lifestyle. Few people can manage a perfect diet, but there's a least bad diet for everyone, and they're often wildly different. And that's basically what the expert stated in the article--the powdered diet isn't for everybody, but it was important to begin offering alternatives to the "balanced diet" recommendations.

Likely he has Intel stocks. His children can have some too. Isn't it in his interest to preserve the value of Intel then?
Warning: DO NOT OPEN THE ABOVE LINK IF YOU'RE NOT IN INDIA!

It made my browser (Chrome mobile) freeze, it displayed a url saying "nonIndia" and was stuck in a constant refresh loop. On Chrome mobile I was unable to close the tab due to bad UX (the close button wouldn't respond so you tap it constantly, but then it closes and you accidently clock on the "reopen tap button" which appears right below your finger and you go back to square one.

What a horribly designed page.
It's ridiculous just how terrible refined carbohydrates are for people. There are countless accounts of people losing weight and getting healthier by simply reducing refined sugars in their diet. It's surprising that this isn't common knowledge yet, although I guess we're fighting Big Sugar here.

I field countless questions about diet on a regular basis, and honestly the #1 tip isn't about calorie reduction or low carb or any gimmicks... it just comes down to "start cooking your own food, from real ingredients". Buy fresh meat and produce and go from there. Weight loss and health will come naturally, because real food is far more satiating than the calorie-and-sugar-dense snacks the western world is used to eating.
I eat reasonable portions of meat, not excessively large ones. Most of your calories on a ketogenic diet come from fat, not protein, both dietary fat and fat your body burns off if you're also losing weight at the same time.

I would also rather live 4 less years and be healthy til the end of my lifespan, than live 4 extra years post-foot-amputation and on dialysis because of complications from diabetes. My father was also a T2 diabetic, tried to follow the ADA recommended diet, but still wound up insulin-dependent and eventually on dialysis before his death. I do not plan to follow in his footsteps.

I feel better on this way of eating than I have at any point in my life. My body has never metabolized carbs well. When I was younger, I was reactive-hypoglycemic, meaning that eating too many carbs would actually cause my body to over-respond with insulin, causing my blood sugar to plummet. I blacked out multiple times in high school from low blood sugar. Eating carbs (other than green veggies of course) is not for me.
There's more variables than just "don't drink so much". Just the other week I woke up with a hangover after having two (4.5% ABV) beers. And this is coming from somehow who often measures their intake in liters, not bottles.

Whether you get a hangover or not is dependent on pretty much all the variables of alcohol metabolism: how much you drink, how fast, at what time, whether you had a full stomach, what type of food you ate, the type of alcohol (dark vs clear), whether you smoked cigarettes, etc. While you definitely shouldn't drink so much, I think it's a bit disingenuous to simply the issue down to how much you drank the night before.

(My personal theory for the two beers night is due to me drinking them some time between 1 and 3 in the morning.)

For me, the big problem isn't the underlying systems, but the UI on top of them. I've had a board where identical parts needed different footprints, and the kicad system made that very easy to manage. However, the UI & workflow is far too different between creating symbols and footprints, making it harder to learn and easier to forget.
For Airbnb this is a very smart move. Airbnb knows demand and supply extremely well and is poised to be able to offer some very highly leveraged financial products to fund the buildout.

This is in my opinion the most significant initiative being done by any SV or YC company. By significant I mean that it promises to end a lot of market failures and disrupt a lot of big players.

At the risk of making this comment too long for casual readers, I'll elaborate:

Consider the incentives for developers. They buy and develop plots of land or existing distressed properties with the goal of bundling as many profitable sales into the same heavily subsidized financing event.

When the developer sells a property for $500K there may be $250K in the land, $100K in the structure, and another $150K in things like appliances, furnishing, HVAC, etc.

The sale is largely emotional and is driven by the way it is legal to bundle all those add-ons into the subsidized financing. This fact alone explains much about the housing bubble. The $150K worth of bundled items are worth $75K after they have been used for a week.

The buyer consents to this because it's the cheapest way to finance a luxurious lifestyle, even though it's marked up significantly. As long as the market keeps going up, the buyer doesn't get bitten by it.

Airbnb knows which parts of the financing bundle make sense for long term value and which can be most profitably leveraged when the unit is used as an Airbnb listing.

If you think of a rental property simply as an asset, you want the kitchen renovated periodically to maximize the market value of the listing. Landlords with 12 month leases, mortgage companies with 30 year mortgages, and most notably real estate brokers with <30 day commissions have no incentive to maximize any of those elements, and have plenty of incentive simply to maximize the amount financed.

Airbnb's interests align perfectly with home buyers on this, in a way that the incumbents' do not.

If this takes off at scale it will reduce profits for realtors, builders, developers, and interior decorators/furniture sellers. It's a pretty amazing opportunity that uniquely maximizes the value of Airbnb's data. Wow.
Yeah - along with a lot of eggs, cheese, and nuts.
> Limit the voting power of corporate shares held by index managers. But such a step would, in substance, transfer voting rights from corporate stock owners, who care about the long-term, to corporate stock renters, who do not... an absurd outcome.

This sounds like the most viable strategy to me. Just don't let index funds vote. I don't understand his objection at all. The index fund managers are not long term investors in these corporations. The people who own the index's shares are, and they are deferring their votes to the managers right now.
"Sell Houses" does not mean "A Service to Put your house on the market" in this case. Title on HN is a bit misleading.
FWIW, you can get back to utopia by passing in the "text" parameter at the very first menu you see (where the default choice is something like "Check media and install CentOS").
That's not a problem. Make those things normally untestable, and sites will by definition work normally without accurate information about those attributes.
At the end of the day how much position does a HFT firm hold? If nothing has gone wrong it is zero.

Just because they're stuck holding the bag on trades that end up being cancelled sometimes and have to wait for them to unload doesn't means they're making markets. If a market doesn't already exist the HFT firm is not going to create it.

They absolutely do increase the volume figures on markets, and that can be interpreted as making markets, but it's not an accurate representation of the big picture.
I completely agree. It's almost like blockchains are only useful for trustless decentralized systems.
Honestly, the availability of cheap credit has made me worry a bit less about getting slammed with some unexpected expense. That's not to say that I don't put money away for retirement and rainy days...but credit cards do make it easier to float if you suddenly find yourself unemployed.
But then you have state shared between tabs and that breaks OPs whole idea, because it kills the sandboxing.
Yeah, but what portion of the market can realistically afford the luxury, and what portion of the market cannot afford it but buy in anyways?

How do you explain away the people like an old high school friend of mine that was so brand loyal to the concept of a european luxury car that they got the only such model they could afford (purely in cap-ex terms) which was aging and constantly being maintained (could have easily leased a late model asian economy car instead, with money to spare) and from which all of the subjective experience features were gone (sounded awful, felt awful, smelled awful, and had little remaining intact interior materials)?

Also, there are cars that manage to have both terrible TCO and lack any positive subjective experience features but manage to make it onto the roadways regardless.

There should be an elastic luxury portion of the market where you have the typical dealership experience -- but it should be a tiny minority. The rest of the market should be very concrete, where you show up and just pay a simple price for a simple commodity vehicle that competes with the others through simple metrics (fuel economy, cargo capacity, crash test performance, power-to-weight ratio, warranty terms, etc.) I get an independent party's TCO estimator where I can fill in my average miles per year, how often and how much I might haul, number of years I plan to own it before selling, etc. and they use past data to project costs of ownership (down to considering things like "this model engine has been in use for many years so we can be very confident about its cost of maintanance) to get a TCO for all the models in this segment to easily consider before ordering, and no grubby salesmen are required -- it's mostly between me and the engineers that conspire to build a reliable machine -- no executives to decide that the model line needs to be segmented in such and such a way to trick me into paying more to get much less with by putting a single economy feature (like durable LED headlamps) in the top of the line model with a bunch of other things I really would rather not have (wood texture details and crap).
Well you're free to do this bit of charity after buying it yourself.
In July I was 203 pounds which for a 5'6" frame, put me in the "obese" category. It was the highest weight I had ever been, and I felt I occupied more space than I should in the world ( not in a good way ). I follow a youtuber on Indian cooking and for whatever reason this woman mentioned how she recently started eating in a more "Keto" way. This woman is thin as a rake. She mentioned she was doing this for mental clarity. On a whim, I decided to try it. I literally threw the little debbie box I had my hand in, in the garbage that day. Today, I am 166 pounds, still "overweight" but this is the most amount of weight I have ever lost. I feel so much better and healthier, and its true about the mental clarity. My unsubstantiated hypothesis is that it takes away the emotional swings insulin give you. I eat till I am full. Honestly. There is not a day that I "think" about what I am eating other than keeping sugar and carbs out my month. I could not be happier. I am a 38 yo technology professional, and I imagine many others here are similar. I have nothing to sell. I just want to make people aware of a lifestyle that may help many of us who sit all day for a living.
If Coke could take an action that would make them $1 million but cost Pepsi $1 billion, why wouldn't the two companies come to an agreement for Pepsi to pay Coke a one time sum of X where X is between $1m and $1b for Coke to not do it? A single entity owning both corporations should not be necessary for the efficient outcome to occur in this hypothetical.
For that same reason, Intel's chips should not be trusted by other countries. It is highly likely that Intel has planted backdoor into their chips. Thus, China and other nations should foster and develop their own chip industry and abandon Intel altogether. India, Canada, Japan, Europe, Russia should all ban Intel chips.
The original quote was this:

> sometimes products are unloaded on one coast, transported by rail, then loaded on a ship on the other coast.

Your comparing the price of a used car vs a new car? Of course the used car will be cheaper. A Golf R brand new is more expensive then a new Focus RS. Also I'm a Minnesotan I need a real AWD system not the Haldex system in the Golf R, which is basically FWD unless it detects low traction then it will engage the back wheels. Also the Golf R has only 288HP and 280FT/LB torque compared to my cars 350HP and 350FT/LB torque so I'm not sure why you think the Golf R is the "Better" car.
So it's OK for them to be evil?

Gillian Genser's “My beautiful death”
You can't increase road time with a human driver at the wheel, that's a safety issue.

While it's already dubious to hire a driver for an autonomous truck, it's even sillier to pretend that the driver is useful when you're having the truck do the work while the driver sleeps. Extending road time by 3x means running the truck 24 hours a day, and keeping a person awake that long will not improve safety.
How long has AT&T been in the dow jones index or IBM or Coca Cola ?
I think CAFEs silence on trucks is partially why small 3rd rows have become more popular on crossovers. If there's a third row it qualifies as a truck versus a car or wagon, I believe the same is true of features like 4WD or sufficient ground clearance.
Life is dangerous. There's no such thing as safety.

Do you at least agree that there are very dangerous places to live, such as war zones? Most people live in safer places than that and it’s a good thing we do.

From there, I’d argue that there’s a spectrum. Living in a war zone or next to a live volcano is extremely dangerous and stressful. But there are other ways to live that are only slightly dangerous, like living somewhere with gang violence, or no health care system, or with no savings. And some people live in areas with very low crime and violence, have good access to health care, and have ample savings or other safety nets. If you’re lucky and/or wise enough to live like that, you’re safer and better off.
That's a good question. I think part of this can be attributed to the efforts taken by the database World to demystify database operations and abstract some of the processes to the point where infrastructure by click became easy enough for these problem to be completely forgotten about or overlooked by your modern developer doing business as DBA (swidt?).

Can insert? Can query? Nothing more to do here.
Many of the most effective medications were banned due to medical risks --- for example, DNP. Efficacy isn't in doubt here; safety is. IMHO, given that all other public health interventions have failed, we should relax the safety constraints on these existing medications and mitigate the risks however we can. Demanding perfection in drug development has left us with nothing, and something is better than nothing.
IF you do your own work VWs aren't too bad. Parts are more expensive, but not too much. However you have to know going in that only German car mechanics($$$) will have the tools to work on it, and they are the only ones who won't put in standard anti-freeze (or oil) which work on every other car but will break something in yours.

Some would argue that the extra tools you have to buy is a factor, but you need special tools for every car anyway. So long as you know you need them it isn't a big deal.
The "refresh=wait_for" [1] index setting does guarantee that a subsequent read will get the data. It causes all shards to refresh:

Refresh the relevant primary and replica shards
(not the whole index) immediately after the operation
occurs, so that the updated document appears in search
results immediately

There's also the "wait_for_active_shards=<n>" setting, which merely asks to wait until n shards have written the changes.

I come from a very conservative family. Nobody's insecure about non-whites having the ability to vote. They might be worried about the fact that some demographics vote like 95% Democrat, but that's just a concern about blind loyalty to party and identity politics.

But agree with your sentiment. Insecurity in general is a very loose term. Some people are prone to believe the sky is falling and there's little that government can do to rectify that.
Originally it was to avoid the annoyance of always having to borrow a truck if we needed to tow a horse trailer or the like.

However, it was mainly (a) we needed a truck for general purposes, and at $4,500 for an 8 year-old full size pickup with a massive 7.3L diesel engine, it was a steal, even after putting a few more thousands into it.
While CEE isn't developed any more, nothing precludes you from using it for pretty much exactly the purposes you described: http://cee.mitre.org/about/faqs.html#a1

I don't disagree with the larger point but:

I don't understand why this is a problem. The actions of index fund managers are constrained enough to be almost automatic (hence the rock bottom fees). They just balance the portfolio to track an index. With this constraint, how does it give them power over corporations?
Close to my theory! Basically, they need to send out millions of email fast. This email, with a bunch of legal text will probably have a high 'mark as spam' rate. This will destroy the domain's marketing ability. SO! The marketing guy won the argument in the meeting: don't use the root domain.

If you succeeded, your underhanded tactics suddenly get re-framed in the press as fearless audacity and keen business acumen. If you failed, your underhanded tactics become a cautionary tale, and a reminder of why it<s important to remain ethical in business.
