I am an open source developer who accepts donations. Whatever you do, I would recommend making a recurring donation. I like to say that one-time donations buy beer, while recurring donations buy sustainable open source development.

I would also suggest contributing to individuals directly. Seek out maintainers of the projects you want to support and see if they have a patreon or liberapay page.
> There is no evidence of this. it is pure narrative based upon what you perceive as motives.

There is plenty of evidence to suggest it. What you're looking for is a smoking gun that definitively proves it beyond a reasonable doubt, such as a leaked, signed email from Assange outlining his entire strategy or a video of him at a coffee shop with Russian Agents wearing nametags that say "Guccifer 2.0". When it comes to international espionage, that's a pretty high standard.

> Who I voted for.

So many people take sides on the Russian election interference issue based on whether or not they identify as a Republican or a Democrat. Perhaps it shouldn't be necessary, but because that's the way most of these conversations go, I thought it would be relevant to mention that I don't support either of the people that ran in 2016.
not sure what to tell you. I don't have regrets. It's nice. No "logic-ing" it, I believe it.

Edit. Thought I'd expand on that. I grew up poor. Had a kid at 15. I've had to ward off wild animals from eating my food. I've injured myself doing stupid stuff (some injuries that have not fully healed even years later and they limit me near daily), I've been fired, I've changed careers, I've gone into debt when I should not have, I've not tended some friendships I should and I've lost them, I've made bad purchases. I could cry a river. I don't. I always try to make the best decision given the information I have. This year, I made a financial choice that had I not, I could have put an additional year's salary into my bank account. No regrets. I've done the best I can. Sometimes it hurts. I learn from it, and continue living.
> Upon success, we'd generate language bindings (think swig), compile them and run API tests against those. The languages included C++, C#, Java and Excel 12 bindings (which required their own .cpp files).

Sure, so you need support for a multi-module project. Any serious build tool will have that.
> The 2060 handily outperforms the 1070 Ti

That's not what I'm seeing in the benchmarks.

> I think you better get used to that.

This may be your worldview, but other people are free to think for themselves and I choose to hold it to a higher standard. This is not an attack on your beliefs, though, I'm not telling you to adopt my point of view.

We saw with AMD that it was indeed not the Moore's law that led to Intel releasing the same flavor of quad-core desktop chip over and over. And I think, we'll see it again, so I'm keeping the pressure on while this happens.

> Your only issue is the name and marketing positioning.

That is not, in my opinion, correct.
I'm at about the point where I will finally believe fusion power is a reality when the utilities board has just approved a $0.005/kWh rate increase to handle some unexpected cost overruns, experienced during the decommissioning of a 50-year-old fusion plant.
I've had to listen to Carolla talk about them for years now.

Off the top of my head they've been on:

- Rogan

- Several Adam Carolla podcasts

- Art of Charm

- Nerdist at some point (pretty sure)

- Harmontown

They're as bad as DollarShaveClub and Casper when it comes to popping up on podcasts.

>Failing that, I see it as a niche product that'd revolutionize the entertainment industries but doesn't change much outside of them.

Entertainment is certainly not niche by any definition. If VR replaces gaming consoles alone we're talking several Billion dollars. Let alone TV, Movie theaters, internet porn etc
I had a so-called free-range childhood. It’s impossible, as only one data point, for me to extrapolate its impact and given the diversity of “free-range” I suspect it’s pretty difficult to link to definitive characteristic traits. That said I do observe certain differences in my character to those of friends who were factory farmed: greater emotional resilience, (despite) greater emotional volatility, worse table manners.

I have children of my own now and I struggle with the idea of letting them
roam as I did. Yet I grew up in dangerous times - as an anecdotal aside once whilst on an adventure, I ran into a group of young and armed militia soldiers. As protection, my friend and I were carrying a cow femur (not sure where we acquired it) and a kitchen knife. I guess we were about 10. The militia, who were by the way a different ethnic group to us, could have caused us some serious problems. But instead we hung out with them for a few hours and they let us play with their AK47s. Man, right now I’m even struggling to believe that happened. I’m still friends with my childhood buddy. I’m going to check in with him and see what he remembers.
The subject of this teardown is the 18w PowerPort charger, not to be confused with the soon-to-ship (?) gallium nitride (GaN) 27w charger known as the PowerPort Atom PD-1[0].

I only know of two shipping GaN chargers at the moment: the 45w RAVPower (RP-PC104)[1], and the 45w Mu One[2]. I imagine we'll see an ton of GaN chargers this year.

My wife is currently on a plane to NYC for a business dinner & conference, leaving me a solo parent for the next 3 days. I certainly wish she could pop on a headset during working hours, schmooze with the other investors involved, and be home for dinner and bedtime. My son can't talk yet, but he probably does too.
Yeah, while it's possible DuckDuckGo is secretly evil, the API call in question seems to be perfectly innocuous. While the size of the screen is certainly one part of a fingerprint, there are far more benign uses for it, and trying to frame DDG as evil over such a benign use is misleading at best (and maliciously dishonest at worst).

I'm sticking this in my "guilty until proven innocent" file.

You're correct that there's often a lot of interpretation and historical research that has to be done when looking through such cookbooks. However, they can offer quite an interesting glimpse into another era. Specifically, I'd recommend watching some of the Townsends "18th Century Cooking" YouTube videos [0] which show how some unusual (or familiar!) recipes from colonial America may have been made.

UK? No... This is an issue of English imperialist history. British Empire is dead, but too many people forget that.

English majority was lying all the way from mid 20th century. Last two blatant lies - promise to the Scots to keep them in the EU and 350mil to NHS(which was really a front for "they are stealing our benefits").
Apple didn't just raise prices, for the sake of raising prices. Their takeaway [0] from the iPhone X was that customers were willing to pay for more advanced and more expensive features. FaceID, OLED, stainless steel, etc. Apple is making more expensive products (not just raising prices), because people have shown that they want to pay more for more value.

Lots of people on HN, as well as elsewhere, will take issue with that philosophy. But that is what Apple thinks, and why they have the roadmap they do.

Inevitably, there is a limit to that price elasticity, but I don't think this quarter indicates that the devices are too expensive. Also, I think you are right about services. It is the only current growth story, but 1.5 billion devices is a lot, and they will upgrade at some point in the future, most likely to another iPhone. But you are correct that there is nothing that will replace the rocket ship that was iPhone.

> results are instant

Irrelevant. The USA holds elections in November and seats the winners in January. What do you need instant results for? It's fine to take hours or even 48 hours after polls close in order to get it right.

The news media loves breathless real-time results because it allows them to lazily report on elections like they're sporting races, but I do not think that this is healthy for democracy. Reporting on poll numbers are in some places banned until the polls close, for good reason that it can influence the results.

> The totals cannot be changed or otherwise tampered with.

Wishful thinking. Fraud can still happen at the edges, when the data is entered. An electronic button press will always be less effort to fake in the regard that a mark on paper.

> There are no conflicts of interest in administering the election like what happen in Georgia

Non-sequitur. Elections should be independently administered regardless of medium, and person in this position would have opportunities to fix the results regardless of medium.
That's what I hear too these days. The risk/reward sweet spot in the Valley apparently is either VC (collect management fee for a few years, don't have to show results for a while) or what you said, which is being an executive at a 50+ person company that's shown a very strong trajectory of revenue growth.

Did he see "Ready Player One" too many times?

We have virtual worlds now. Second Life. Sansar. VRChat. Sinespace. High Fidelity. The technology is good enough that we can see what they're like. They're OK, but not compelling. They mostly appeal to people with too much free time. Like Everquest, in the early years.

We even know what a fully immersive full body VR experience is like. Lucasfilm and Disney have one running at Disneyland.[1] They have good cordless VR gear, good position tracking, and a custom-built space you can move around. The space is just blank walls with an occasional prop you can touch, and it lines up with the VR.

They have a neat trick to make the space seem bigger. It turns out that in VR you can get people to turn a little while they think they're walking in a straight line, if you slowly rotate the visual world. So you can make the players go in big circles and think they're covering a lot of distance.

This is close to the "holodeck". It works now. And it's just another Disney ride.

(Is Marc Andressen thinking of the Ready Player One model as a way to allow the real world to suck more while keeping the peons happy? Only the 1% have a good real life, everyone else goes on line and pretends.)

I imagine there's a better way to phrase that - i.e. "You're trying to raise an adult, someone with full capacity to make educated decisions, problem solve, improve their skill set, etc. In other words, be fully autonomous and capable." That's much wordier, but I think there's a lot of ambiguity in "putting yourself out of a job." It's a cliche, so it has some meaning to it, but I don't like how it leaves room for interpretation of how you put yourself out of that job. There's a million ways to reach that objective without actually doing a good job as a parent or ending up with a responsible grown up offspring. Least of all, you probably don't want the relationship to end, nor do you want to stop being available if they want emotional support or a little wisdom.
> we had an involved asset building system. It was very hard to shoehorn this into Maven's fixed lifecycle phases (they might be customizable now, I don't know)

They're not customizable, by design. I find people with this problem tend to be missing the option of using a multi-module project: if you need to build A, B that depends on A, C that depends on B and so on, the right way to model that in maven is to have those things in separate modules with dependencies between them. That way your dependency graph lives in the normal maven representation that anyone working on it can understand, and the within-module phase ordering continues to be what anyone working on will expect (compile before test before package, etc.)
If the past two years have shown me anything, it's that people are becoming skeptical of the technologist mantra that "technology will make people's lives better." Not always; and with Apple introducing Screen Time and people trying to figure out how to "break" from their cell phone and social media usage, I think anybody who believes that the mass market wants to live in some VR simulation is tone deaf.

Maybe AR will never be like Minority Report, but I think if AR could get to a point where no goggles are needed, or if the equipment is light enough to not be a burden to the user (unlike VR headsets), then I think AR will be much bigger than VR. The average user just don't want that crap on their face and they don't want to live in a simulation like so many in the Bay Area would like to believe.

When people talk about the Bay Area/Silicon Valley monoculture/hivemind, I immediately think of VR enthusiasts. I'd also throw cryptocurrencies and blockchain enthusiasts into this category as well. Both of those technologies solved "problems" that the general population wouldn't agree to being problems in the first place.
> 1) Writing on virtual whiteboard in VR just doesn't feel right, there's no tactile feedback.

To be fair, people said that in 2007 about virtual keyboards.
In JS there is a lot of convention but on a micro level. The times of monolithic Rails apps which have strict conventions are over and it's good: Too much magic and strict conventions often forced devs into patterns which didn't match the use case. Even experienced Rails devs tried to solve every problem the same way.

You also confusing matters. You need Webpack, Babel etc for the frontend not the backend. And even in the frontend it got abstracted away by things like creat-react-app. So you shouldn't them see them too often.
As a cookbook? Not very. I find them interesting as historical documentation of cooking.

You'll recognize most of the ingredients well enough based on my reprint of the 1884 Boston Cooking School Cook Book. But a lot of meats are going to be different enough that you'd want to change the prep. And, to most modern tastes, the recipes are just not going to be very good. I still keep some of the cookbooks handed down from my mother (like old Gourmet cookbooks from the 1960s or so). And even those are just not that useful for how I cook today.
Can someone ELI5 why a nuclear reactor only operates at a lower temperature? I'm also surprised that it doesn't drive a generator via a turbine. I would assume the reactor speed and temperature can be arbitrarily tuned from zero to meltdown via the control rod. Is the hot-enough/economical range not being used risk management or some physical constraint?

Canada also seems to be pushing for smaller <100MW modular reactors. Would those change the equation?
That is one of the best channels on YouTube, and I know a few teachers who used some of his videos in their lesson plans.
The author writes from the point of view of an investor. How likely it is that as a candidate for a job, they would give you all that service and access to all that information? A meeting with all the founders?

Unless you're a valued, seasoned industry veteran, joining a very early stage startup founded by 20-somethings, would you really be able to access all that the author suggests?
Naive question: why not work for a FAANG, try to make close to half a million after enough time, promotions and jumping ship between the different firms, then just invest whatever you're not spending into the stock market or whatever other assets you choose? Take the 400k you're not spending and dump into Tesla and friends, or whatever other sexy stock du jour?

Seems like a much healthier risk profile unless you ONLY want a huge Google-like unicorn outcome as an early employee.
whew! so many future and present half-finished projects should start disappearing (including mine)! woohoo!
Hanes Brands does $6.4 billion in sales for example (obviously including all of their business).

$32.6 million in sales is a small company in the underwear business. Men's underwear (boxers, boxer briefs, briefs) in just the US + Canada is a $5.x billion annual business at retail.

There's also this amusement:

Yes, it goes into detail about this in the npr article linked by GP.

It's the second (that I know of) such free third-party notification system for HN to go defunct. If everyone whines about it enough, maybe someone will do a another one. ;)

So thank you for posting your question. :)

Edit; It occurs to me, you shouldn't have gotten a notification for my comment because I didn't reply to you. The previous service posted notifications of comments on your posts, plus replies to your comments. This one only notifies you of direct replies to your actual comments, not comments on your post.

So that's not necessarily meaningful data that you don't have a notification of my comment above. Did you get one for this comment?
Turbolinks has out-of-the-box support for Rails, but should theoretically work with any backend without much work. Just install via npm.
See my reply somewhere else.

I simply do not understand why people are so hung up on the name and positioning of a product.

If these products were evaluated on performance, price, features, and power consumption, with the name blacked out, the currently announced GPU would be the undisputed winner in its price category.

For the consumer, that’s ultimately all that matters.

1) Just because it's possible to use this in an aggregate fingerprint doesn't mean the collection of this one datum in isolation is actually for fingerprinting

2) Given the context of the actual API call, this is probably for benign purposes and not for fingerprinting

Agree with this, and further add that sometimes you find interesting solutions/ingredients that were used in the past because of lack of modern convenience. You could buy most staples, but even things common during their harvest season were unavailable most of the year. One of the most surprising ingredients I've seen was turpentine! People used to eat that!
