Polar 2.0 will be web based ... there have been thousands of people checking out the website but not many people downloading the app. Had it been web based I don't think that would have been an issue.

I think they would have started using it.

> it doesn't put it in / first and then as a second step I have to manually put it somewhere else.

no.. but it will pick either the users home or their Documents or their Downloads. That's not much better.
Most of the data comes from satellite observation. The US does have a very high density of RADAR as well. Sounding balloons and fixed weather stations are the traditional inputs. There is no explicit historical data, though arguably it is present in the use of particular schemes (weather speak for: we tweaked these magic numbers in the model so it gave good forecasts).

You can easily run WRF with the NOAA GFS as initial conditions, it would easily run on an iPhone computationally, but practically it will work on your desktop Linux box.

They have a containerized version too, which will save much fiddling with compilers and libraries.

One problem for me is going through the sheer volume of posts and finding those gems that are don't sit at the top.

I made https://hackerer.news to show all the top posts, Ask/Show, and recent on a single page split by date. That saves time so I don't rescan headlines I saw yesterday and I can quickly see less mainstream posts in the middle.

Are there other HN viewers that try to improve S/N? (I had been using hckrnews.com previously.)
I am a big fan of Nomad's scheduler and the code is easy to pull in to an existing Go project. It doesn't have everything Kubernetes has but I don't think it needs it, either.

Kubernetes has for sure won the popularity contest but the overhead involved in running it The Right Way™ on your own is a lot. Given what I've seen I would advocate for OpenShift if you like RedHat products / projects or sticking with Kubernetes from one of the well-known cloud providers.

it is not reasonable to expect the colony to fully duplicate the manufacturing capabilities of earth. There will be drugs, electronic components and human experts that will imported from earth for a very long time.

Aren't there former colonies of western empires that now produce their own drugs, electronic components, and human experts? Granted, it's a bit more difficult because it requires first building the life support infrastructure or the world, whereas colonies on Earth have their life support for free. However, Mars has geologic processes that produce minerals, and people have already mapped out the chemical processes that could be conducted with in-situ resources, all the way up to production of feedstocks for making plastics like ethylene. (Also done for Venus.)

I believe a Martian colony would be successful when they achieve economic viability (import value lower than export value). This would happen well before they would reach actual self sufficiency.

There are political reasons for self sufficiency, which can warp the market a bit.
That's funny, because I happen to work for a Silicon Valley company, I'm on the same pay scale as my colleagues there, but I work from my own home on the east coast. Perhaps even more pertinently, my team-mates often express despair about being able to afford a house even on what they're making at one of (according to most sources) the top three highest-paying companies out there. So no, I don't believe that the pay scales are sufficient to achieve parity with other parts of the country in terms of what school districts they could live in elsewhere based on their skills.

Here's another way to look at it. There are a lot of people earning big money in Silicon Valley, but there are only a few thousand students at the local top-100 schools. To buy a home in one of those few towns, you need an income that's high end even by local developer standards. By contrast, not only is the cost of living lower in Illinois (for example) but the ratio of demand for their skills to demand for slots in top-100 schools also works in their favor. Those add up to a cost reduction even greater than any likely pay cut.

The only way those high Silicon Valley salaries help in terms of getting your kid into a top-100 school is if you take the money and run. Earn all that dough, save it, then use it to buy a house in another part of the country before your kids hit high school. Don't get into an auction with people who are even richer than you are.
My understanding is that the reality of the situation is that Saudi Arabia is extremely patriarchal by law. Women need men's permission to do anything. By reducing the friction for men to approve women's activities, you make men more likely to let women do stuff.

Now the man doesn't need to go to a government office to let his wife travel, he just taps some stuff in an app. Like I mentioned, there's an argument to be made (that I personally disagree with) that this increased friction will somehow accelerate change in saudi society or something. But the argument there is that by inconveniencing oppressors you'll somehow make them more empathetic to the oppressed. History says that doesn't usually happen. You just annoy the men and then don't help the women. Change comes slowly and incrementally, not all at once in an avalanche.
>Just as a reminder, we use n! to mean n(n−1)(n−2)(n−3)...3.2.1, so that means 6!=6.5.4.3.2.1=720. The exclamation mark is sometimes pronounced "pling" and this operation is called "factorial".

I’ve never heard the factorial symbol called “pling” before, I think we pronounced “6!” as “six factorial” in my undergraduate math classes in the US. Is “pling” a common term that I completely overlooked? Or is it more common in the UK?
But is CEO quality really about the best decisions?

Playing the MBA's advocate, maybe it is so hard to "consistently beat the market" with decisions, that their usual quality spread does not even matter that much? Amongst other reasons, because even an apparently foolish decision, if for some unexpected turn of events it suddenly is the "golden path" will give the bigger returns than an "obviously smart" decision ever could?

If that is the case then the decisions themselves would be secondary to how those decisions are executed. Then you wouldn't look for the best decisionmaker for filling the CEO position, you'd search for the best at getting the team united behind a decision who isn't completely terrible at making them. Basically someone who is good at commanding respect, which is exactly what those high-status institutions are teaching/selling.

Being the typical overconfident dev I always tend think that I would make the smartest decisions ever if in the captain's chair (surely this isn't true, but it feels true way too often), but I never think that this would make me an actually good CEO.
App that reverses entropy

WTF? How the hell would anyone know that? What if you never sell to the UK, but someone goes on a run because some product randomly becomes popular. It is such an unnecessary minefield.
No.

Well said. Law can find a way to trouble you if someone in power decides you should be targeted. It is as simple as that.

And being treated like a sub-human in a prison you got thrown into, for what you consider to be an unjust decision is bound to make you resent the law and increase your chances of ending up there again. How is he not seeing that?
Every once in a while I search for something I need in Python and find that it only exists in Python 3, but I'm not quite convinced it's worth the effort to transition from 2.

However... I've just learned about Python 3's f-strings and they gave me a big smile, and probably the final push I needed :)

(Yes, I do know that sounds silly and there are probably much better reasons to transition to Python 3 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

Well since we are actually talking about the comment section of slashdot that's quite ironic... I don't know how old you are but Slashdot was somewhat the HN of the late 90's and 00's.

Government spending as a percentage of GDP has grown rapidly over the last 50 years. Most of that growth has been in social welfare spending.

Meanwhile, the effective tax rate that the rich pay has decreased only slightly since 50 years, despite a very large decrease in the top income bracket tax rate, due to fewer loopholes and deductions available in the tax code. Their relative contribution to total tax revenue has increased on account of growth in their share of national income.
My experience after 35 years is nothing scares me more than when a team of out of control developers are adding more and more features to the spec. Most baffling is it's obvious they think they are accomplishing something and you're a meanie for trying to rein them in. It always ends the same way. A lot of things can go wrong in a project. But that's that one 100% guaranteed to sink it.

The last 150 years or so of history kind of says no, but people keep trying because the last person "didn't implement it quite right" and "they," somehow, "know how to do it better." Maybe people need to see another 150M+ deaths to prove a failed philosophy/ideology is somehow what we need. It's the underlying philosophy that is the failure, no matter how you dress it up or try to implement it. The individual is sovereign.

Maybe the spry takeaway is that you should write tests for things you want to make sure they will not break.

Your UI being off by a pixel won't break your application, so if a test hangs on that, then it is not a good test.

However, your business logic, or network protocol routine, those should not break even if you heavily refactor or add new features (especially business logic where a broken behaviour might seem correct), so those need to be heavily tested.

If it is hard to test the juicy parts like business logic without also dragging in the UI, different OS/platform/db parts, etc, then you should look at how your application is structured and if it is really optimized for writing good tests.
The license prohibits you from using Adacore's tools unless the software you release is also GPL, right? I thought that was the case so I never really bothered with Ada.

What does "if there is a new version" mean then? If it's a new dependency, there's no old version.
I would argue the efficiency of the market produces an excellent correlation between company health and stock valuation over long periods.

But even if you disagree, isn't that just another way of arriving to the authors same conclusion?

If share price is a terrible proxy for company health, then why are we paying CEOs based on it? And if it is a good proxy for company performance, then it's proving that CEOs are being grossly overpaid for what are essentially random outcomes. Under both scenarios, something is terribly wrong.
Everything about living on Mars is hostile to life. Doing anything there like mining and manufacturing will be orders of magnitude more difficult and for what?

Wasn't there a fair bit of difficulty involved in building fleets of sailing ships and exploring the Earth? As it so happens, the reward for doing so was to become dominant in the new global geopolitical context. There's an incentive to keep up in the new expansion of context to keep from being left behind and engulfed in a larger context. The potential total population of the solar system, even based on just on foreseeable technologies, asteroid resources, and solar power could easily be in the hundreds of billions. Fusion power increases that potential by orders of magnitude.

It seems silly to be trying to rush to a place that wants to kill you when we have a great place here already that we could just stop messing up.

These aren't mutually exclusive things. And make no mistake: Many things involving ocean travel prior to the industrial revolution literally involved rushing to places that want to kill you, via another place that wants to kill you. Isn't rushing to a place that wants to kill you another kind of "doing things that don't scale (at first)?" If it means eventual geopolitical dominance in a future larger context, there will be wealthy nations willing to foot the bill.
All types of social welfare spending have increased over the last 50 years, not just healthcare. A larger proportion of the population is dependent on the government now than 50 years ago.
You're right on that. I never viewed backend and frontend as the same team. Obviously they should be using the appropriate tools for their job.
Your argument assumes that the only reason you'd ever get a "black glow" is through entry-level Photoshop manipulation. To me it's pretty obviously a layer of grass. Remember that with a long exposure those grasses will rustle, blurring them.

> A corporation has to provide services people want to use of their own volition. A government takes money off people without asking. [..] Ultimately, they rely on that monopoly of force [..]

Distinguishing having a de-jure monopoly on force vs a de-facto monopoly on something else is not a useful practical difference to make. Other quantitative aspects of the relationship are more important to the analysis, and you pointed out some of them yourself.

This artificial elevation of this "monopoly on force" pollutes other aspects of your analysis of reality, leading you to say things like "If you're just a lowly employee [..] you might think it doesn't matter to you" apparently without irony.

In some sense, a government does take money from me without asking. In some other sense, this relationship is consensual - individuals with more resources/power are free to move to the jurisdiction of a different government. Similarly, the degree to which some corporations "take" money from people depends on the circumstances. People have to live somewhere, eat something, etc, and this has a big influence on the corporations they must give their wealth to. So distinguishing governments from corporations is not particularly meaningful or interesting, and leads you to artificially exonerate some bad activities of corporations whilst incriminating some good activities of governments.

edit:

> Most land is privately owned, not by governments.

I changed to "physical control" because it was more relevant. Even "ownership" is a (very convincing) "legal fiction" whose power derives from the government's control over that land. If it were not able to maintain this control, another country could invade it. If you were able to actually control the land that you "own", then sure I might have to pay you taxes in order to live on it (or move somewhere else with better tax conditions).
From what I understand the reason why YC is offering this Advisor Edition classes is to get these non-YC alum advisers ready for the regular version of the YC Startup school.

Last year YC accepted everyone into YC startup school (due to a Boolean error) and a lot of groups ended up participating without an adviser. And you get the best experience when someone actually guides you every week.

This year YC will again open the YC Startup School for everyone and YC can't scale it without having trained advisers.

Finally, I wouldn't worry too much about "advisers without experience." YC is smart enough to filter out bad apples from the bag.
I agree with you. There are generally speaking two goals of corrective photo manipulation.

One is compensating for the limitations of the camera - i.e. perhaps you underexposed to capture motion and then changed the levels to make the photo look closer to what you saw. The other is compensating for the limitations of the scene - i.e. using a long exposure to capture something that's unseen to the human eye. Based on the example photos I think he's doing the latter.

* An app that makes you see and use new tools and frameworks that appear on HN (preferably in contained VMs)

A pdf reader that let's you search quotes on reddit to see what comments are about that quote.

Binge-reading and listening eBook reader: challenge is not to break the chain between listening (preferably TTS) and reading. Good books example: Infinite Jest, Buddha discourses etc.

Meditation app that (gruesome alert) makes you meditate on impermanence by seeing a corpse of yours (oldify + zombify).

Netflix for classics books with movies (Albert Camus The Stranger etc)

>Google could very easily prevent China from using Android phones to oppress people. China is forcing people to install well known .apk files on their phones. Google has a very well developed infrastructure for blacklisting malware from their devices. But they refuse to life a finger.

As far as I know, Google has very little control over devices in China. They're almost all developed by other manufacturers (Huawei for example), and don't use Google Apps or Vanilla android, but instead use Huawei or OnePlus or Oppo's flavor of android, and use one of these[1] app stores.

So Google could add code to blacklist these apks to android source, and then Chinese manufacturers could remove it. Or they could have GMSCore do it, and since that's blocked in china, it wouldn't do anything.

So, not to get too sidetracked here, but I'd be curious to know what actions Google could take to do this, short of relicensing Android (which also wouldn't actually fix the underlying issue here, it would just cut Google's connection).

>And what you are essentially saying is that if an oppressive regime threatens to hold a population hostage, then we must work with them.

No, I'm saying we should work to improve the lives of people under oppressive governments, even if that requires working with the oppressive governments. Should the US Government not provide humanitarian aid to North Korea? Is letting people starve worth being able to say that NK isn't "legitimate"?

Aptiv

Aptiv is very close to being pure driverless car company.

Waymo (Alphabet), Uber and GM and other major car companies are investing heavily but I don't think failure affects their bottom lines as badly.
Kotlin's non-null type checks seemed nice, but I didn't start appreciating them until I had to debug a NPE being thrown 100 frames down a stack-trace in an entirely unsuspected piece of code in a legacy Java app.I had to release new debug code to production just to figure out where the hell it was happening.

Just having the type system making 'this could be null' and 'this is assured to never be null' explicit would've saved me hours.

Also, playing with Erlang made me really appreciate the actor model of concurrency.
What most long-term investors would prefer is a cult of a 'process', rather than a cult of 'personality'.

A process' is a combination of know-how + culture + rules + compliance.

Every business goes through cycles (eg startup, growth, pivot, then repeat)

At every cycle, different personal qualities of a CEO would be more beneficial.

However, a property of a company with a cult of 'process', is that the process will organically select and retain a right CEO at a right cycle.

So two outcomes of the above position:
a) recognizing a company with a good process, is a very important and powerful skill to have (likely Warren Buffet has it).

b) averaging CEO performance without recognizing what cycle the company is at, compared to CEOs skills, is not by itself a measure of CEO performance. It is more of a proxy measure to whether the company has a sustainable and investment-ready process or not.

By the way, with regards to
> This is why it's not such a big deal for most people that Ronaldo or Messi get paid a lot more than their teammates, and the rest of society.

I would challenge that, and say that it is quite abnormal, historically, for entertainers to get paid this much.

The development of multiplicative technologies (radio, TV, internet), and lack of wars between the 'super-nations' -- is really what made entertainers into exceptionally wealthy profession.

So, yes it reasonable to assume better performing sportman will get paid more than their team mates. But it is not reasonable that they get paid this much... that bothers me.
