Thank you everybody for all the amazing advice, truly appreciate it.
Some people have asked about my skill set. Aside from all the crazy business stuff I had to learn along the way, I was mostly focused on the product, which was a general-purpose optimizer for open source relational databases. I was in charge of high-level design and architecture and my 3 employees were the ones writing the actual code. But again, due to the nature of the product I was very much reading a lot of CS papers and books and the like.

I wouldn't call myself the best coder and to be honest I don't think I'd pass the FAANG puzzle interviews without some serious preparation. But I think I've amassed a lot of architecture and product design experience (along with debt lol) in the past 7 years.

There were also questions about my mental state. It was an extremely tough few years with lots of ups and downs and more than a few crying nights! but I haven't burned out. Oddly enough, I'm still excited about the startup world which is a surprise to a lot of people around me.

Hi HN! Datacenters and cloud providers consume 6% of the global electricity (more than India) and generate 4% of the global CO2 emissions (more than 2 times commercial air travel). After 2 years of hard work, we've been able to finally introduce the first Open Compute and hyper-scale compatible Computing Liquid Immersion Cooling solution this morning in the Open Compute Global Summit in San Jose, CA.

With this technology we have a ~1.03 Power Usage Effectiveness even in extreme and hot climates, we can achieve densities of more than 100kW per rack footprint, enlarge the lifespan of the IT hardware and more. You can check out the technical specs on https://submer.com/smartpodx

We'd love to hear your feedback. Many thanks!
> "Land Value Taxes apply pressure to make the highest capital return on every piece of land, which is not the same thing as the best use of the land, and would hurt many good uses of land that are not profitable."

(highest and) best use [0] is generally understood as maximizing economic return, so you're essentially arguing semantics here.

with that said, i agree with the underlying sentiment that it's not the only "return" we should consider. maximizing economic return fails to capture the richness of the human experience in often obvious but not easily quantifiable ways, which is why we let economists get away with such unrealistic models.

but your position on suburbs (vs. urbs) is baffling (and idealistic). suburbs externalize their costs to achieve that cheap living. implementing an LVT would (presumably) take that advantage away.

Monopolies are not beneficial for customers. They are always maximally beneficial to the monopolist, because customers have no choice.

Therefore, customers will be forced to always pay the maximum amount for a good, instead of being able to bargain for a lower price.

As capitalism is based on creating efficiencies of market through customer choice, I have to wonder why mercantilism is back in vogue with a new coat of paint.

This is no golden age. What you are rattling off are modern day drugs that turn the mind off with over-stimulation.

Turning everyone into Wall-E type obedient consumers that queue up like cattle for their next dose is just an unimaginative use of the power of story and the new medium. We haven't see anything yet.

A golden age is when Narrative and Medium influence individual and societies behavior positively. Moving from over stimulation to action to enlightenment. In that story what HBO and Netflix have uncovered is just a stepping stone.

You're missing the point. Security is throwing up a hurdle against installing outside apps (could be a bit steeper hurdle than Android's if you need). That's enough to keep your grandparents safe from installing crapware. Apple fighting tooth and nail against any possible installer, sideloading, rooting, whatnot, that's purely for the power, control and financial benefit of Apple and "their" ecosystem.

I put quotes around "their" just to remind that this ecosystem is made up by hundreds of millions of users, too. Yes Apple holds a singular power over this ecosystem but that power mostly boils down to the ability to wreck it for any particular group of participants. That's not ownership unless you want to claim that humans own the coral reefs, too.

Protein folding is still an exponential time algorithm when done inside a computer and biological systems do this in constant time, massively, in parallel.

Determining whether a molecule is an agonist takes a long time to calculate. I've heard the complexity is O(N^3). Biological systems do this in constant time, trillions of times a second in parallel.

If you could simulate biological systems easily, you could do drug development completely inside a computer.

I think the original comment is being sarcastic and suggesting that the actual humans that close discussions and mark them as "off topic" don't understand the question and perform these actions at random. This is a sentiment shared by many who don't "live" in those types of forums.
I'm not advocating for any of Telegram, Signal, or any of FB's suite of apps, just noting an observation from someone at my age group.

Most/all of my non-tech-savvy friends and relatives wouldn't even have heard of Telegram or Signal or any other messaging apps. My tech-savvy friends tend to be busy with their lives (most of my friends are 30+ and have family and kids to take care of), and when FB is down for 24 hours they tend to just not use FB or Whatsapp and "wait it out"; it's not like they have to message anyone while at work.

I guess the 3M signups are mostly teeangers and young adults? I'm really not sure how anyone 30+ with a family really care enough about messaging friends on an app to switch apps (by installing a new one even!) when their usual one is down for a day. Most probably fall back to SMS even if some are on paid per message plans.
Who says they are mostly okay with the other problems? OTOH, the other problems mostly don't violate the law, so there is no legal remedy.
It should! It does for me. Can you give me any more information? Which page isn't loading? Do you have any ad blockers or other extensions installed? Thank you!

Not really, they are lousy apps.

You can fix that without engaging in the "spew content and see waht sticks" style of netflix.
>Telegram used to be based in Russia.

no, it's not. it was created by a russian (pavel durov) but it's developed by a company registered in london with servers all over the world[0]

I treat "some" as an informal expression of relative quantity and "many" as an informal expression of absolute quantity. So it is valid to say many countries use "MD" and many countries use "DM", though most countries use "DM" and only some use "MD".
Unfortunately Telegram nor Signal supports federation. I find it bit funny that people move from one wallet garden to the next one 8-)

>Interestingly too - the size of pickups was increased; what really seemed to have happened, is they "pushed up the models" - ie, what used to be the F-150 (say 1995 vintage) no longer exists. What we see as the F-150, today, is actually the size (and price) of the F-250 of 1995. The F-250 is now the F-350, and so on (it kinda levels off after the 400 class, simply because those and larger were mainly niche sales to individuals, or commercial sales). I don't know if that is truthly real, but if you compare the sizes of the vehicles and options, it feels like something they did.

You can't justifiably make this comparison across such a wide year rage because trucks went from utility vehicles to flagship models in this time and there's been some massive improvements in drive-train tech since the 90s. A lot of that "moving up" is simply technological improvement allowing new trucks to do what old ones couldn't. Trucks have certainly grown to occupy more physical space but their footprints have remained close to the same and their weights haven't increased all that much.

>I'd love to see smaller vehicles make a come back, because it might also mean smaller pickups and a return to smaller Jeeps and other 4wd vehicles, too! But until those CAFE rules change, I don't know if we'll ever see that here.

Agreed. Unless you have some other market you expect to sell them in and consider the US a sideshow you aren't gonna invest the $$ to develop those vehicles.

I'm pretty sure they've already said to the public that the Quest hardware isn't capable of of video input over USB-C, so I wouldn't hold out any hope for that. They did say they were investigating streaming from a PC over wireless though which might be even better if they can get it working decently.
I assume they are referring to Chrome on mobile.
A couple years ago, HBO GO was horrible in FireFox, so much so that I downloaded Chrome specifically to use HBO GO. Not sure if it's still the case.

HBO is still lacking certain basic features; their dearth of different watcher profiles is appalling, especially when Netfix has had it for years. It's personally a pet peeve of mine when I share an account, the other person watches something I was in the middle of, and I lose my place. Basic UX shit like this is inexcusable.

I wonder if they've unified HBO GO/NOW. I remember reading when NOW launched that it and GO were separate Java applications maintained by separate teams.
that's still too much for me

Reasonable ads don't bother me.

I recently applied to be a volunteer first aider for St John's Ambulance, who are fairly prominent in the UK. It was 2 weeks of no response to my application, until I happened to check my gmail spam folder to discover that SJA had invited me to a selection evening like the day after I'd applied!

Marked as "not spam". Further correspondence from them, via the same address, ends up in spam list. Filter seems to be ignoring me reporting the misclassifications.

It is common to "recycle" an existing airframe by upgrading it in various ways. In fact the customer pressure on Boeing to create the 737 Max (referenced in a sibling comment) was in part driven by the success of Airbus doing the same thing to create the A320neo. The 737 Max is the 9th or 10th variant that Boeing has created of the 737. The FAA has a process for certifying these variants.

The concept of a variant of an existing plane model should not be the focus of concern IMO.
Boeing had this scandal and is still here. In that sense, they're demonstrably not mortal dangers.

It's normalization of risk writ large over corporate lifecycle timescales. "Should we report this? Well, the last time we got 200 people killed, nobody went to jail, so..."
> Putting it as a "Apple Music vs. Spotify" thing is a bit weird too; while it might make sense, it doesn't make sense if it's just that and all the other streaming and buying services are free to do what they want. It's weird stuff.

Isn't Spotify just the biggest one by a large margin?

Because frankly I never heard of Deezer or Tidal, and everyone I know that uses a music streaming service is on Spotify or, rarely, iTunes (or Apple Music? is that a rebrand or is it a new thing?)
So, I'm not clear if naming things "Day 1" means I have an easy way to switch between the days. I don't see a way to do that with the example you shared (would have been happy to see this information when I visited Kona two months ago!).

Are you saying that this allows a calendar view somehow? Or, that I can just organize into a list this way? I don't need the ability to see hour-by-hour (but having your system schedule things into a day calendar would be amazing). But, this seems like it does not solve the problem I have with needing to scroll around and lose context.
I'm not worried. I've been in this industry for 25 years now, and seen multiple technical revolutions. (Back in my first serious job, we were hand-rolling streaming data protocols with lex and yacc on raw sockets! There was no ssh, no xml, no json, and http was a lab toy in Switzerland.)

Requirements are hard. Understanding what needs to be done, and doing it all in the correct order, with buy-in from all concerned parties, is an essentially human, creative problem. It's not a simple matter of "marketing folks ask the AI to update the site", because they don't know how to ask it. Software is like all those tales of people getting their wishes granted by a genie or something, and regretting it because what they asked for wasn't actually what they wanted.

And who turns someone's dreams into something the genie will do correctly? Programmers. We're the interface between the world of human needs and the world of technical realities. We're doing craft. Our tools may change, but our problem is constant.
> What standing could these students possibly have?

The fact that they paid for something, via the application fee, that was advertised with features it doesn't have, and the fact that there are consumer protection laws that call that a deceptive trade practice and provide a remedy for it. (Also, the lawsuit is much broader than the universities and includes claims, including civil RICO pclaims, against the parties more directly involved in the core bribery scandal.)
The pain is already here, it just isn't apparent on the costal cities. It manifests in a low labor participation rate among people (especially men) with high school educations in the midwest, increased drug usage and suicide rates, etc.

Mindhunter's first (and only) season is much better than True Detective 2 and arguably better than True Detective 3.

If a game doesn't offer any way to pay to remove ads, it's an instant uninstall for me.

If a game does offer it, but doesn't let me play for long enough to decide whether I like the game before it starts serving up unskippable ads, I uninstall it.

Most games simply don't give enough time to decide if you even like it before they start throwing ads at you. That seems like a terrible policy in general, regardless of whether you have a "skip ads" IAP or not. You want to wait until the player has made up their mind about your game before you start degrading the experience. This seems like such an obvious thing I don't know why so many games are so bad about it.

This has always been the promise of e.g. PHP. There's been a ton of people who were complete novices, whose first lines of code were a .php file that they uploaded over FTP to some shared hosting.

What I will grant is that a novice is going to be completely lost if they try to start with a "modern" app. There's way too many moving parts. When webpack (implicitly included in e.g. create-react-app) fails to build because something's wrong in an implicit dependency, a novice is going to be totally screwed.

Continuous Delivery Foundation Hopes to Bring Rhyme and Reason to CI/CD
Unless you live far from where companies are, I really don’t see why you would have any problems at all getting a job.

I didn’t even start coding until I was 36 or something, and definitely didn’t spend 7 years doing something as useful as running a company, and I had no trouble at all finding work after a few months, in Stockholm and Copenhagen, both pretty small cities.

I bet you can get a well paying job within a week. No need to prepare anything, except a short CV and a cover letter, you’ll be extremely attractive on the job market.
>> EVs dont require gas. This is a huge seismic shift

EVs require electricity, they need to be refilled. Sometimes when they are not sitting in your garage. That means that tesla (and others) had to build a bunch of gas station analogs. Seismic only in terms of all the foundations for such things being laid but just a slight evolution.
I like the idea of a Discovery like channel ... but full those videos.

Same went for some disaster / failures videos done by (I forget who) some risk / aftermath assessment company.

I agree with your reasoning and I'm surprised that companies like Southwest seem to aim for monoculture.

... unless the risk and cost model they're looking at is that having multiple planes in the fleet increases the risk that spare parts are depleted for a particular model, ground crews aren't sufficiently cross-trained and errors on their part make flights less safe on average than in a monoculture, etc.
My anecdotal experience agrees with this assessment. My family has always been free feeders and it hasn't been a problem for our dogs.

Outlook (the client not the service) has a feature that could cause similar issues - the focused and “other” tabs. I’ve missed a few responses to AWS support requests because of it.

On the other hand, I chose to use the Outlook client instead of the built in mail client for iOS, specifically because there is a grey area between “spam” and automated email that isn’t urgent but I still want to see.

Most of the time Outlook gets it right.
