It's about "who" you distrust. If you distrust the hardware vendor, hope is lost. If you distrust someone with physical access to the device it's about how hard it is, and firmware/hardware is harder to hack (generally) than software. The likelihood of finding a remote exploit into the firmware is a lot lower than finding a remote exploit into a software disable.
Do you mean PPP? Prices tend to be lower in the US (outside of Healthcare anyway...) so if anything I would expect adjusting for PPP to make the difference starker.
Looks great. If it's static, try using netlify and cloudflare; I've used cloudflare with great success for years, and I just tried netlify (works great & free).
Project scale and scope. edX does most of its development in public repos. Not all of the features and functionality are used by every open source user. The scale of edX’s user base is so much larger than others’ that edX finds issues well before other users. Also, by the time a formal Open edX release is announced, edX has run the code for weeks or months.
I think I have read this before here on HN. Cool business though.

Are you suggesting it's better to ban individual choice because of the existence of landfills and climate change? The market could effectively and efficiently price those into products, if society would pass a law.
Then that depends on either how much they're paying for the part and how much you enjoying 3d modeling and the trial and error dof 3d printing. You'll also need at least a real version of the part to copy and maybe even the appliance.
This. A friend buys and restores old Porsche 911s. He will pay anything for custom made parts that are rare as hens teeth. As an example there is a housing around the main cooling fan that seems to be titanium or aluminum or something very exotic. [1]

A company does sell a replacement, which he paid a fortune for, which had garbage tolerances and we spent weeks modifying it until it fit more or less well enough.

I suspect if you spent time on "classic car" forums you'd find owners of very specific models of cars searching for things you could make and sell for any markup, and every owner would buy one.

In a previous life, I became a scuba instructor that kept me in the latest dive gear. (This was along side working towards a Ph.D.)

Eventually it burned me out -- instructing is a stressful "service" gig; and it turned me off of diving for years. This is something that I've observed with other folks in "lifestyle" businesses, e.g., I know yoga and martial arts instructors that ultimately quit not only the instructing, but the hobby.

If you love something, be careful about teaching it!
Doing okay so far -Bill Gates
Okay, now the hard question.

Why should we care that anybody was a "first people"? And how long down the line will we recognize a group of people as fist people? Do they not make babies with non first people?

10k years from now are we still going to be going on about "so and so is of so so blood line making him indigenous" ?

While they seem like shitty questions, they are serious, because for somebody like me who knows little about his past, its hard to wrap my mind around being so attached to a group identity that really seems like it matters very little to your ability to succeeded and live a happy life today -- unless -- you declare being indigenous is something special and thus gives you extra rights, or more say, or something? And if having the label brings nothing, they why such the fuss?

Also, I am sure we can all trace our blood back to some "first people", so now what? Can I go back to my "first peoples" land and demand to be called indigenous?

* Act as a standby for dish pits at the local restaurants - filling in only when someone doesn't show since I don't want to take what could be a lifeline job for someone AND having a standby like me means they can keep their job instead of just being a no-show

My point was that it happens that right now the US government spends a per capita amount on healthcare (for Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Military etc) that does not provide universal coverage but would be sufficient to provide universal coverage at the per capita cost of it in other western countries. It's an artefact of the substantially higher healthcare costs in the US.

Actually, fairly often, we do. I don't think we need to look any further than the paranoia around vaccinations to see that individuals often don't know what's good for themselves and others. There's any number of businesses that rely on their targets having incomplete information (or downright misinformation) that should probably be regulated out of existence (and many in fact have been).

You could try AntiMicro or any of the alternatives, though it will mean no analog control: https://alternativeto.net/software/antimicro/?platform=linux
It's not based on how much they make, but about their abilities.
Things I don’t get:

1. why are they choosing gRPC over REST if the application is entirely web based. With REST you have a standardized system of verbs and not specific application functions (GET /user/id , 200 OK <data> vs.... MyGetUserFoo(ID) , some return data unique to application). With RPC both sides need very specific knowledge of the functions each other have and their arguments all the time, service discovery seems harder and an update to application seems to nearly always imply and update to web.

2. What is the model supposed to be for typical protobuf schema sharing? I like PBs, but it seems a little harder than JSON or CBOR or MessagePak or other schemaless serializers in that the proto file has the same sync issue among all of your endpoints.

3. Wouldn’t be really swell if serializers were supported by cloud providers and Microservices a little more? I have a project right now that every time a message goes from our services to an endpoint it needs encoding and decoding. This is kind of a header now for every Microservices we have, it would be nice to not have the option of making so many mistakes.
I have, actually. That thread was truncated and a new one started where I’ve shared some new things.

The whole thing is like a weekend project that’s being narrated for my Twitter followers. They’re (in general) a very different demographic than HN.

My technical post later on will be of greater interest to HN.
I guess my point really is. Even if you're right it's entirely irrelevant which makes you sound crazy.
That was my suspicion. Color me very surprised if YC's bookface site for founders does not have a offers tab where founders can post that they made an offer to a specific person by name, with a nice timeline view of the candidate's counter offers. The same feature might also have a The Work Number API integration that lets founders see the salary history, credit score, and estimated bank balances (thanks fintechs) of each candidate as well.
It's not just the Valley, it's also the model of traditional schooling. The majority of classroom time in many places is spent sitting quietly and listening to a teacher lecture.

You wrote Pingtype? I love Pingtype! It is a pinned tab on my browser because I come across Chinese words so often (fellow learner here!)

I think not spacing Chinese is a problem that gets solved through experience. The word groupings will be of 2-3 characters max unlike English where words can be 1-12 letters long (unless it is for nouns like 喜马拉雅 = xi3ma3la1ya3 = Himalaya).

The examples you gave are edge cases but I am sure you can read "butishouldstoptypingnow" just fine. You never though to segment the word as "bu-tish-ould..." because you have an expectation of sentence and type of words that fill positions in the "<conjunction> <subject> <aux verb> <verb>..." format.
I’m in the middle of a project exactly like this one. I purchased a used 5th generation iPod video from eBay and I’m in the process of replacing every external facing part on it. The hard drive is also getting swapped for an sd card and the battery upgraded to a ridiculous 3000mAh which is supposed to give it 150+ hours of music playback on a charge. The aftermarket parts are so good that you can get a back case with 128/256/512gb engraved on it instead of the original sizes.
I paint. I don't take commissions and the stuff I've sold doesn't even come close to the total I've spent, but who cares, that isn't the point. I love coding, but doing something totally expressive rather than logical is a valuable part of my life too.

> parts that are both unavailable

Depends on your pricing and margins. There's a huge number of parts that are available but ridiculously priced, often coming out an order of magnitude in excess of what seems reasonable.

Take for instance a kettle scale filter. OK you probably can't 3d print these, but for something so simple they're insanely priced - £5-£15 for a bit of plastic. A whole kettle with filter costs typically £15-£35. Dyson parts are even sillier.

e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-Philips-Kettle-Filter-HD467...

There may be a far wider range of parts you could profit from than you may think. :)

One of these is not like the others. I can understand emphasis on dressing up in contexts that involve selling -- a product, an idea or even yourself. But what does it have to do with focus?
Yeah, that’s bumming me out a little. It’s the NER (which is getting a lot of my time on this one because spaCy is an amazing tool to extend) and the correlation with other data that’s the interesting part.

Especially those flights.

I wish I could delete the tweet about “unredacting” (or at least edit it to point to my decision later on) without breaking the thread. It was written in a moment of nerd glee, but the ethical considerations are more important to me.

No. Did I say that? I like living in a predominantly capitalist society. I would like us to pay more attention to the consequences of consumption. One way to do that is to build it into prices (such as a carbon tax, or upstreaming disposal cost) or by regulation. Building cost into price is actually a very capitalist and arguably libertarian approach as it enables the market to reallocate resources to minimize what would otherwise be an externality.

No, only to reduce individual choice when it's clearly pushing away from significantly better global optima than individual choice can achieve.
second paragraph sounds like an hncynic comment with "comment" in the title.
Furthermore, timestamp precision is still problematic. Some filesystems still have one second granularity, but even if you use a filesystems capable of storing sub-millisecond timrstamps, that doesn't mean commands that get invoked as part of the build process (e.g. cp -p) invoke the right APIs that make use of such precision. e.g. see the doc for the .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME directive of GNU make

1991-2000 was economically by far the best recent decade in my ex-USSR central european country.
Hehe, I’d sadly say no, chances are we don’t have the same employer but the general tech in Europe is still old IT / cost center.

I am not in a stage of life for pursuing promotions to give more anedata on that, but I can see that a lot of senior managers here in Denmark are not immigrants. I do see however that there is a wave of immigrant founders here. Let’s see if the economic environment will perdure long enough to see a greater change.

VERY COOL! So many questions:

Do you work on the road or take off years at a time?

Are you armed, or do you just avoid central conflict areas?

I take it no family? (hence the 'solo' bit) or are they undersganding?

Orbital Sciences Antares rocket uses previously mothballed Russian NK-33 engines. These were originally manufactured for the Russian version of the Apollo program but never flown. These are 70's vintage engines that get refurbished and launched. Also notable they are closed cycle engines, which was seen as somewhat impossible to achieve at the time. SpaceX newest engine uses the same concept, probably inspired by these engines.

The unredacting part was originally borne out of my experiments with a word-level LSTM approach trained on everything the SCO had released. More relevantly, that part was quickly abandoned. It’s all about extracting date-referenced narrative text, and the combination of the NER and the dependency parser have been amazing. Together, they’ve let me begin an extension that dereferences relative dates and last names as though they were pronouns.

Your manager sounds great.

Once you're able to outline the delivery/business/product case consider getting your QA function to champion (author?) the technical solution with you.

It's good to separate the two initially (a well documented problem leads to more options than a quick fix) but at some point you'll want to engineer buy-in. What you've described will almost certainly be a pain point for testers - this makes them great advocates for change and grants QA much needed ownership.

Feel free to dm me if you want to discuss this further.
I recently had to replace the side wheel motor assembly on a Roomba. The motor and housing were fine, but the gears inside had worn out. I think they were just made out of ABS, so if they were printed in Nylon they would be a lot longer wearing. Roomba do make their robots (at least the 620 I have) repairable and a replacement of the whole assembly was only £20 so I'm not sure if the margin is there, but it is a bit wasteful when the only issue was the gears.

I've also considered creating some upgrades to the stock parts, but it's on my "some day I'll get around to it" list.
In principle the market has answers for these.

Landfills are a problem because they're subsidized, because we'd rather provide free/cheap garbage pickup than have people throwing their trash in the street or the ocean. The alternative would be to not subsidize it and then penalize throwing trash on someone else's property with 500 hours of picking up trash. Then there isn't trash in the streets because either people don't put it there or there are plenty of people to pick it back up, and trash collection service costs enough that the plastic junk your plastic junk comes in makes it cost more than the alternative that produces less garbage.

Climate change is the same thing. You're releasing CO2 into somebody else's property, which should require their permission. Good luck getting permission from literally everyone in the entire world; might be easier to buy an electric car.

These problems were created by making concessions from the principle that interactions should be voluntary. If you're creating an externality then whoever is paying for that externality should have to agree to it before you can do it, and they're not going to agree to that without being appropriately compensated.
Just read the whole thing, thanks for sharing.

Interesting story in many ways, particularly the wrestling for ownership of the show, and how they recreated it as a carbon copy for the American market. I remember hearing years ago that he wasn’t actually CG, which made a lot of sense — but as a kid I definitely thought he was.

The subversiveness of the show is great; but it’s particularly amazing how accurately they saterized the future.
Isn't this a bit like saying you just created an nth-order polynomial regresion for any set of points x/y that someone hands you? They are essentially the same amount of parameters, and both can only approximate one function. So.... no kidding?
