I'm a big fan of RasPis, but people _always_ understate the real costs.

That TPLink wifi router comes in a case with a (probably shitty but working) power supply and cable, and inbuilt flash memory.

A Pi Zero costs ten quid, but you need to add a case, a power supply, and a micro SD Card. But worst for me, is that they still limit you to buying one at a time, so if your decide "Hell yeah! 5 room wi-fi streamed audio sounds _Awesome!_" You're not only up for fifty quid for the Pi Zeros, but you're gonna spend at something like twice that much again for 5 half-decent power supplies, USB cables for the power supplies, SD cards, and cases, and then you're up for 5 lots of shipping charges because they aren't allowed to sell you 5 Pi Zeros in one order... All of a sudden that "fifty quid project!" has become a £150+ one in five seperate deliveries...

(And unless you don't care too much about the audio quality, both the Pi Zero and the TPLink router will need a better external DAC anyway...)

If you just want one, and you're the sort of person who has usb power supplies, cables, sd cards kicking around doing nothing, and you're not too fussed about having a nice case, sure, you can just order one ten quid Pi Zero plus 3 quid for shipping.

I think most of the important stuff is common knowledge, at least in the sense that it's been said. The new entrepreneur may have even heard the stuff, but I'd say the real issue is that you don't truly internalize and understand a lot of things until you experience them.

IOW, "entrepreneurship is a contact sport" so to speak. You can read all the books, watch all the videos, etc. (and yes, please do, there's good stuff there) but until you go out and try to apply it, a lot of it won't truly sink in.

For example... it's been said plenty of times that "Nobody else cares about your startup" (or some close variation of that). You can read that and nod your head and say "uh, huh". And then you start talking to investors, reporters, prospective co-founders, prospective customers, advisors, etc., etc. And once you're met with a collective shrug and "meh" response from all of those people, despite the fact that you know that your thing is THE GREATEST NEW THING EVER, you'll truly understand the "nobody else cares" thing. After all, all of those people have their own ideas, passions, dreams, aspirations, distractions, etc., to deal with. When you think about it in hindsight, it's not hard to understand why people aren't usually going to be super interested in your baby from day one.

Anyway, that's just one example of what I mean. That tidbit is "out there" but reading it isn't the same as living it.

This is one reason why "just get started" is good advice. Yes, learn what you can, whether it's from reading, watching videos, consulting live mentors / advisors (SCORE[1] is good for this, BTW), but the sooner you start playing "with pads on" (to use a football analogy) the sooner your real learning will start.

Similar note about what somebody famous (pg? Horowitz? Andressen? I forget...) said about "the most important part of being an entrepreneur is managing your own internal mental state". You can read that, but you probably won't fully appreciate it until you're deep in the pit of despair, just on the verge of giving up, asking yourself why you even bothered to start in the first place, and then something turns your way, your mood improves and you realize "shit, if I'd quit then like I almost did, it would have been completely stupid". Go through a few of those cycles and you really start to understand that the single biggest thing you have to do is manage your own emotions and not get too low, or too high, such that it derails your progress.

I say you have to just start, and then make it a point to say "the first 2, or 3, or 5, or 10 times that I'm tempted to quit, I'm going to push through and not give up, and see what happens". But, easier said than done.

I mean, you say "new" but it's been around for over a year. And it's a huge improvement. Are all the people here complaining about audio quality, complaining about this improved driver or the original poor driver? My ears are not great but I find the new one very usable with an amp; it's not great with headphones but that's hardly surprising.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_Maze

There was one earlier example of deathmatch as we know it, and I played it... after a fashion.

> MIDI Maze is a networked first-person shooter for the Atari ST developed by Xanth Software F/X and released in 1987 by Hybrid Arts. The game takes place in a maze of untextured walls. The world animates smoothly as the player turns, much like the earlier Wayout, instead of only permitting 90 degree changes of direction. It has been suggested that MIDI Maze introduced the concept of deathmatch combat.[1]

[snip]

> Up to 16 computers can be networked in a "MIDI Ring" by connecting one computer's MIDI-OUT port to the next computer's MIDI-IN port.

Hence the name. What a weird and wonderful hack.

On a personal note, I played a port of this... to the original Game Boy:

> A Game Boy version was developed by the original developers, Xanth Software F/X, and published in 1991 by Bulletproof Software (now Blue Planet Software), under the title Faceball 2000.[5] James Yee, owner of Xanth, had a vision to port the 520ST application to the Game Boy. George Miller was hired to re-write the AI-based drone logic, giving each drone a unique personality trait.[citation needed] It is notable for being the only Game Boy game to support 16 simultaneous players. It did so by connecting multiple copies of the Four Player Adapter to one another so that each additional adapter added another two players up to the maximum - seven such adapters were needed for a full 16 player experience.[citation needed]

Game Boy deathmatch. Never got to experience it myself, as my family only had the one Game Boy and we didn't know anyone else who had the game.

One word: INSURANCE.

Controlled burning etc will be dealt by the government, lawyers are suing PG&E to recover damages
Why don't we put more of our efforts into controlled burning in order to keep the fuel load down

Because it's ugly.

The high amount of available fuel is primarily a California thing. Every other state conducts preventative burns. But California changed its policy on this about ten years ago because rich people don't like smoke in their backyards.

When Trump pointed this out, he was ridiculed by those, including California's governor, who say it was purely global warning.

The president may be a buffoon, but he's not always wrong.
Maps and Youtube got worse.
In New York at least, constructions unions extract large amounts of money from the government. Some examples that come to mind:

* Lots of construction employees are mandated by unions to stay around (crane greasers I believe are an example) even though these employees do no work, and then managers have to be hired to manage more employees, etc.
* Sometimes employees are hired to do no work at all
* Highly experienced employees will be given menial jobs like coffee-fetcher sort of deal, but get paid very highly for it due to their experience.
* The MTA has no negotiating power, the unions and the construction contractors agree on a price and then give it to the MTA

Why is it like this? I don't know, one could imagine all sorts of corruption, political plays to get the construction vote, political games to avoid seeming anti-union, who knows.
I'm not sure whether you're taking issue with leisure time generally or the tendency for people to participate in leisure that you believe is inefficient, but both are orthogonal to the question of which type of agricultural system is more efficient.

In particular, if your solution is simply "spend less time on [your current] leisure activities!", it can be applied to either aggricultural system. In the case of specialized agriculture, it simply means spending more time on the individual's specialization or really anything with a greater opportunity value than growing one's own food (if your goal is to maximize earnings, it's tough to do worse than spending an hour per day growing your own food to save ~$5).
I am so confused by this comment, the parent mentioned that they'd prefer if unions had a voice in lobbying over just having corporations lobbying but then mentioned that having no lobbying would be ideal. This seems like mentioning the perfect and then saying "And this other thing works too."
It's probably well higher than 20k, considering that that's only ~20% of the company. You'd need to do a representative poll to find the real number, which I suspect is well above 50%.
Or in this case, it may be negligence. (The hook itself is not a random act of nature. It presumably is not malice and intent. But it still could be negligence.)
You know, I don't think any of this matters so much at all now, because I recently realized that SEO has totally destroyed some 90% of the technical utility that Google once had.

There was a time when one could ask meaningful questions and see links to useful websites like hyperphysics, engineering toolbox, and others. Now, even if you're lucky enough that Google recognizes the technical nature of your question, you still end up with a page full of ads, commercial websites, blogs, and unrelated garbage on the first page[1]. Remember when if it wasn't on the first page it probably didn't exist?

I only lament that I have no way to compare modern and legacy Google search functionality to prove the decline I've noticed for years. Even the way we search has changed, as Google seems to have normalized asking full questions instead of just searching for keywords.

The internet seems to be regressing. This is just one of many fronts. Of course Google is only partly to blame. Users and their obliviousness to harmful commercialization are also a part of the problem.

It's true that Trump has mocked mainstream politicians, and this is probably equivalent to non-populists condemning populist politicians. I suppose one could argue that a critic of populist politicians is hypocritical if they also condemn Trump for mocking mainstream politicians, but I don't know of any examples of such criticism. (It might also be worth noting that this particular phrase was used by, among others, Nancy Pelosi in 2006).

As for the "deplorables" quote, I don't want to defend it; however, to substantiate my point about qualitative and quantitative differences, I have to mention that in the infamous sound bite she said that "half" of Trump's supporters could be placed in that basket, and then later regretted specifying "half". (In previous speeches she apparently made it clearer that these supporters were only a small fraction).

Politicians of any affiliation are prone to highlighting the extremists among their opponent's followers (likely due to the psychological biases of Group Attribution Error and Ultimate Attribution Error, or, more cynically, due to a desire to exploit those biases) as a way to tarnish people's opinion of that opponent. That is a problem no matter which politician is doing it, but I still think that the bigger problem is a politician targeting groups of people based on immutable characteristics like ethnicity (or institutions like the media).
Clerked in a Federal Court however I stopped practicing law a few years after that for something more lucrative. [1]

In any case the attorney (OP) says:

> Some courts mandate certain fonts, font-sizing, spacing, and margin size. Let's hope the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania doesn't.

Not sure how it can be any clearer (re: my point) than that.

Note also that I didn't say 'not allowed' but that it was a 'risk'.

Now perhaps the attorney that filed this knows something about the judge or court. My comment was for HN as a general point which is valid I feel.

Let's say you are meeting a new girlfriends family for the first time. You decide to show up in a clown suit. Sure it's possible that the parents might think that's great but also a risk that they will think you are foolish for doing so. (Ditto for most appearance related things).

I'm pretty out of the loop here. Are there existing, widely used workloads that are critical for storage for which FPGAs are competitive with CPUs?
Can you cite this policy change? I could really use this info.
Regardless of where I've acquired it, content providers should distribute raw files so that consumers can decide their own viewing experience. I definitely don't mind paying for content if that's an available option. In fact, I regularly purchase music from various websites (beatport, bandcamp, artist direct, etc) that offer original sources and it's great having it all on one central platform that just works.

Several people in my family barely know how to turn a computer on, but in the past they've comfortably managed to figure out how to watch their old movies on their TV with a USB disk that contains an entire archive and they still prefer that experience over various streaming sites.

Have been happy user of telegram, what is new?
I think it's fair to call it home grown, like in house, but to say it threatens Intel is like saying that Amazon has introduced a server chip that will take over everyone's datacenters from Intel. Seems unlikely. Amazon also has to be careful now not to run afoul of anyone's IP as they can't farm out that responsibility to other providers.
Mike Tyson said: "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." When it comes to semiconductors I'd say: "Everyone wants to make their own chips until they have to do so at scale". (Doesn't roll of the tounge as well!)

There is definitely a threat from Apple, Amazon, Google and especially China that will put Intel's market share in target distance, but making chips at scale is incredibly difficult. It's hard to see Amazon transitioning their AWS machines to Amazon built chips, but if they display competency they'll certainly be able to squeeze more out of Intel.

I disagree, in many cases people disagree with the opinions of organizations they join. Introducing sane gun regulations have polled above 66% but the representatives we have in washington won't touch that with a ten foot pole. Similarly a lot of labourers may share opinions that managers may disagree with, with how lobbying works the opinions of management and above are codified in lobbying efforts, unionization would allow the majority opinion to be expressed.
I was a unionized IT worker for about a decade. No such bullshit commenced. The closest thing was demanding that 24x7 oncall be compensated.

> If it hadn't been this hook, it would've been something else, such as lightning.

Yes and no. While it's true that occasionally there will be natural disasters such as lightning strikes that occur in high-risk areas during times of high winds, power lines are carrying huge amounts of power all the time and thus coincide with high winds more than lightning strikes. As an example of how to mitigate this risk, PG&E has a policy of cutting power to lines temporarily during high-risk times like extreme winds in high risk areas — although in another sign of negligence in this case, they failed to follow that procedure during the windstorm that led to the outbreak of the Camp Fire.

You can't prevent all disasters, but you can mitigate risk, which at least reduces the incidence rate of disasters. It's starting to look like PG&E was negligent in their prevention efforts. I agree that doesn't mean they're entirely to blame, but as a society we still need to hold companies accountable for negligence so that we help incentivize safety.

320x200 is 64,000 pixels. Assuming 20 fps, that's 1,280,000 pixels per second that need to be rendered. It ran at least 20 fps on a 66 Mhz CPU, meaning that each pixel had at most 52 clock cycles to render, and that's not even handling game logic. Certainly some optimizations involving not re-rendering pixels on the HUD come into play, but still I'm blown away that that they figured out such crazy optimizations.

I feel like if I were to try to write Doom's engine that I would struggle to reach 60 fps on my i7 CPU, even rendering in Doom's original 320x200 resolution.
It kind of is though. Maybe a founder is happy making 90k a year off a small band of loyal customers. By all means, that's a viable business.

Maybe the business wouldn't be able to run profitably with anything less than 1000 users and one founder can't make it happen in their budget while another can, or another yet decides to raise money.

But these companies don't really make their own chips at scale, they just make their own chip designs, then contract out to a fab to actually manufacture them.

And Apple is already at an incredible scale, considering every iOS device currently made is running on Apple designed chips.
FPGAs are much larger (read: more expensive in volume) and slower than ASICs, so if you have the unit volume and calendar time to do an ASIC and know roughly what it needs to be optimized for, FPGAs really can’t compete. FPGAs are effective for more exotic smaller-scale use cases where unit cost is less of an issue.

Why should intel be scared of AWS selling overpriced ARM servers? Scaleway offers 8 core servers with 8GB for almost half the monthly price of the cheapest ARM instance (with 1 core) amazon offers. Even the 16 core instance doesn't make sense. Packet.net will give you a whole 96 core server for the same price with 4x the memory. Capable ARM hardware has existed for years already and AWS is barely able to catch up.

Yes, I know AWS' target group is small startups and big enterprises who couldn't care less about how much their servers costs them. But at the same time this means switching to a new architecture for meager cost savings isn't attractive to them at all. They are willing to pay a premium if it means that things "just work". As long as this barrier exists ARM servers have zero chance of threatening intel.
Are they arbitraging risk assessments or are they just selling your personal information?

The former would be interesting but not sustainable once underwriters catch on. The latter would seemingly only work for very small, almost inconsequential policies.

AMD are in a great place. TSMC's 7nm is in great shape (unlike Intel's 10nm), and AMD's multi-chip architecture allows them to get vastly better effective yields for high-core-count “chips”. They will be selling superior CPU to Intel's and they will be making them at significantly lower cost, while Intel is struggling to compete, stuck with monolithic chips on 14nm.
