But it’s mostly shipped on corporately made, marketed and sold phones.

Without shipments, it’s just yet another obsolete mobile OS.
Yea, $850 franchise tax minimum. I personally think it's a bit excess even by Californian standards.

Also, you'd need to get an office in Delaware to not mandate a foreign registration in California which still involves the taxes. Getting an office in Delaware is pretty expensive but it's about $400 cheaper than California franchise tax. They assess their own but it still works out lower.

Edit: Nevermind, they still tax you on that. I don't condone tax evasion, but Wyoming doesn't track the owners of a corporation.
Why would Google abandon it?
I don't have the figures, but I believe most of that went in to the oceans, causing other problems there.
At 100% you necessarily include sensory equivalence. Otherwise you still change the experience drastically. Emulators are a fundamental shift in the sensory aspect. Even moving the F-keys around a tiny bit can be enough to drive a user crazy or break a great word processor.
> but you can't chalk it up entirely to hysteria considering it happened in the aftermath of the Niihau incident.

You're right it wasn't hysteria, it was literal robbery. The white farmers were literally waiting to steal everything the Japanese left behind in California.
Good thing they've got all those privacy issues taken care of.
I mean, it's not fair game though.

You can release a bug, tell other people how it works, publicly shame the government into having better security. But stealing the documents and holding the stolen documents for ransom?

Why should they pay him? He's clearly acting like a criminal, not someone trying to just make a living by making society safer. He's making it worse on purpose because he didn't get his way.
> Many women simply aren’t cut out for the corporate rat race, so to speak, and that’s not because of ‘the patriarchy,’ it’s because men and women aren’t identical.

Everytime there is a discussion of this, it gets bogged down because of claims like these. In general, I think that the equality of opportunity people would be more effective at reaching the ears of the equality of outcome people if they skipped over the whole "why are there fewer of some group working in this field" issue entirely, and focused on the harms of not having equality of outcome. I see why they go to these arguments (to communicate that equality of outcome as a value might be misguided if inequality of outcome wasn't driven by bias), but people frequently jump ship and stop listening when they hit something like this in the argument.
Sitting for too long is the problem not devices. I agree a timer would probably work just as well, but the number of devices has nothing to do with fixing the problem of sitting too much (especially a device intended to help increase physical activity).
Some Amiga diehards await the day when we all realize that virtual memory and process isolation are passing fads, and go back to setting interrupt vectors and walking kernel data structures directly in RAM like real programmers did on the Amiga back in the day. What they don't realize is that Amigas crashed a lot more than they remember.

If you value speed above all else, modularity is detrimental. If you value security or robustness, modularity helps you design components in such a way that one component's failure doesn't bring down the whole system, or compromise data being worked on by other components.
A common belief on HN is that any SaaS/tech business is constrained by the complexity of its code and product. Famously, the top comment[0] on Dropbox's HN launch was about how it's not a valuable business because the commenter could build it for himself. There were similar comments here about Asana recently, too, and I'm sure many other startups.

If I had to guess, this is due to a combination of two factors. First, some kind of "visibility bias," where we all tend to overvalue things that are highly visible. And second, "man with a hammer" syndrome. We're programmers, so we tend to overvalue the importance of code.

But the reality is just as you guessed — marketing, sales, partnerships, content, customer service, etc all play a huge role in a business' success. They require a lot of time, too.

Not understanding this is one of the reasons many developer-founders make the mistake of taking on overly ambitious product ideas and not allocating enough time to the rest of their business.

The problem is that the same people who sold the 9/11 surveillance state were (and still are) making the argument that Japanese-American interment was justified, and would be justified again in the same circumstances. For example:

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

There was also some rhetoric explicitly referencing interment (in a positive way) during the 2016 presidential campaign.

And to remind, the Korematsu decision - which, essentially, made it all legal - wasn't overturned until last year, either.

So it's not exactly ancient history.
They've said this before https://twitter.com/DroidAlexandra/status/111934411027040665...
With what? A gun? A cannon? A blunderbuss! In what world can a couple on a floating plot defeat a boatload of pirates with AK47s? These are people who've successfully taken over entire cargo ships, mind you.
I don't have a list of names to cross-reference, but I'd guess more than a few were. Their leader was stripped of his citizenship and kicked out of the country. A blanket internment of German-Americas was considered but deemed impractical:

>"Shortly after the Japanese strike on Pearl Harbor, some 1,260 German nationals were detained and arrested, as the government had been watching them.[26] Of the 254 persons not of Japanese ancestry evicted from coastal areas, the majority were ethnic German.[27] During WWII, German nationals and German Americans in the US were detained and/or evicted from coastal areas on an individual basis. Although the War Department (now the Department of Defense) considered mass expulsion of ethnic Germans and ethnic Italians from the East or West coast areas for reasons of military security, it did not follow through with this. The numbers of people involved would have been overwhelming to manage.[28]"

> "In the 1940 US census, some 1,237,000 persons identified as being of German birth; 5 million persons had both parents born in Germany; and 6 million persons had at least one parent born in Germany.[25] German immigrants had not been prohibited from becoming naturalized United States citizens and many did so. The large number of German Americans of recent connection to Germany, and their resulting political and economical influence, have been considered the reason they were spared large-scale relocation and internment. "

Note also that in Hawaii, out of 150,000 Japanese-Americans, less than 2,000 were interned. In Hawaii Japanese-Americans were too numerous to mass-intern, as German-Americans were too numerous to mass-intern across America. However across the west-coast of mainland America, where the relative size of their population was much smaller, mass-interment of Japanese-Americas was considered practical and therefore enacted.

Another factor to consider is that America had already had a war with Germany, not many years before, so the loyalties of most German-Americans had already past muster in the eyes of many. Japan was considered a new unknown quantity. During WWI, anti-German sentiment across America was much stronger than it was during the subsequent war:

because they have probably something better to replace it with?
I co-founded Pigeon SMS (https://pigeonsms.com) with my dad just a couple of years ago and we reached profitability just a few months after founding.

We provide business texting services to businesses of all sizes. Some of our customers include a city, vet clinic, glass shop, screen printing firm, boutique retailers, and on and on. Really any business can benefit from adding texting to their communications.

My advice: Pick something that will keep you interested and motivated to come back to when life gets busy.

Thinkpads are IMO one of the few products that look better as they age. The traces of wear (and maybe a few appropriate stickers) give them the character that they are missing when new. There is something "real" and honest about that look - I like it very much.
Atleast giving an idea of the general market would be great. Otherwise, your answer has no meaning
it is going to be replaced with Fuschia OS (i'm sure i probably butchered the name)

My understanding is that it will be a pretty much transparent switch for users going from an Android phone to a Fuschia phone -- not sure though.
Google is eradicating all GPL from their mobile offering.

Fuschia will let them release a fully closed down platform.
A problem with RediSearch, at least for me is:

Note: clustering is only available in RediSearch’s Enterprise version

https://redislabs.com/redis-enterprise/technology/redis-sear...

At least with ES i can build and play with the clustering of the nodes. This is probably why they only made a 1 node ES, because they would have to push their Enterprise software to do make a cluster of RediSearch. Maybe i am wrong.
does this mean Android won't be trademarked anymore by Google? I really hate that such a wonderful word was ruined by Google.
Given the address in your profile I'd suggest you might also want to have your team have access to non-cell communications. Sometimes you're at a tower that doesn't have great cell reception and even if the team is able to rescue an injured member they won't be able to safely transport them and be stuck sending someone to find cell coverage and call for an ambulance.
Actually it was the wish of neither a majority nor a plurality.
Benefit of the doubt is something you give to a company the very first time it does something like this. Not something you give the umpteenth time they do something like this, and especially not when they try and hide their "sorry it was waaaay worse" update amid other high-profile news.
Reading through the thread, it looks like you believe that physicists can perform data analysis better than statisticians, because a physics program includes some stats courses.
Agreed on both counts. Wearing hearing aids for essentially my whole life I've been made fun of for it maybe once or twice, and that did suck, but there's so much more stigma in an oticon pamphlet than I've ever experienced in real life. It definitely feels like a pitch aimed at older people who are in denial about losing their hearing, no matter how many pictures of teens chatting in a circle they put in there. Matching colors, assurances that they're unnoticeable, the implication that you need hearing aids to be "normal" (true-ish for me, but still not appreciated), and so on.

Insurance is a joke. Every private insurance plan I've ever had, even my current otherwise decent one, has paid a total of 0% for anything HA-related. And it's not just the hearing aids themselves, it's the tests and the followups and the fittings and on and on. It really adds up. Iirc medicaid actually had decent coverage, but I wasn't paying for it at the time so I don't know have numbers.
As a tech community, we should really rally around a libre/free mobile OS and soon. Being beholden to corporations for our operating systems is antithetical to freedom.
Yea it's not like it had any long last effects such as the lost of valuable property and wealth that was stolen after they were forced from their homes or the lost of opportunity due to stolen years.

No that doesn't matter anymore even though the people that lived through it are still alive.

No that doesn't matter despite people in politics literally raising the specter of doing it again and in some cases, directly suggesting and defending it as a future potential action.

We're totally reaching when we bring it again.
How do optional typing annotations break ruby/Python/... for you?
Android was associated with the GPL via Linux, forcing them to keep it partially open source.

Fuschia is the OS and kernel nobody asked for which is licensed so that Google and partners can make locked down, closed source phones.
So, closed source with tracking enabled. Can it get worse?
Can you tell more about the spiritual side of Krav Maga?

The seeming lack of it, might be why I never took a closer lock into it. So I am also surprised that there might be one. Can it be that just some instructors personal spirituality got mixed into it?
Malware researcher Marcus Hutchins, known as ’MalwareTech’, pleads guilty
Are either of these people in trouble with the US? I didn't see that in the article. That's why I don't see the relevance of what you're asking.

But let's suppose I want no government to have jurisdiction over me. I'm not quite renouncing my US citizenship, but I am explicitly trying to remove myself from all government control. If while doing this I run afoul of a foreign government, should I expect the US to protect me? (They may still do so, for their own sake rather than for mine, but it seems to me that I have no right to expect them to do so.)

Here's a slightly stronger version of the same issue. Ronnie Biggs was an Englishman, wanted in England and living openly in Brazil because it had no extradition treaty with England. If, while doing so, he got in trouble with Brazil, would anyone expect England to try to protect him as an English citizen? He still was one, but...

I agree it's great hardware. Do you run Linux? Because my problem with Lenovo is Windows. It's hot garbage despite the perception that Windows is decent again.

But what's not great hardware is the touchpad. I always miss the Apple touchpad. It's perfect.
>I got the impression 2 handed swords/no shield was an honour thing, rather than a tactically advantageous thing, I'm in no way an expert on such things though.

I am not an expert either but as I understand it, Samurai were nobles and fought on horseback with their primary weapons being spears and bows, and they considered swords a backup weapon.[0]

The mythologizing of the Samurai, their honor-above-reason mentality ("bushido") and the katana as their primary weapon was a retrofiction created in the Edo period, when the Samurai had been disarmed and relegated to bureaucrats, and they wanted to justify and romanticize their violent past, and the term bushido was invented in the 20th century, and was itself based on Western ideals of chivalry in knighthood (which also, really, didn't exist.)[1,2]

Would be bizarre if Google went proprietary with Android and Microsoft were the ones to carry the AOSP torch.
This is lunacy. Nothing is going to replace Android but the next version of Android, for the same reason why Microsoft will forever continue developing Windows: there are (hunrders of?) billions of lines of code written for it, and: 1. Users just want to run their software, 2. Developers just want to sell their software, and nobody is going to give a shit about principled OS design or whatever. If Google doesn't understand this, they're about to learn a hard, and expensive, lesson.
I deliberately poured water onto my thinkpad T430 a total of 3 times in 6 years. All three times, I did it while the laptop was running.

The second time I did it, the laptop turned off as I was pouring the water. The drains are only so big; water can only move so fast through them. I had poured the water so fast that it overflowed the drains and the keyboard, and run into the motherboard.

I pulled the battery, keyboard, and access panels, and let the laptop dry overnight. I turned it on the following morning, and it worked without any problems.

So yeah, spill-resistant laptops have their limits. Dumping a quart / liter of water on them all at once is beyond their limits. And you may get unlucky with spilling onto the laptop in just such a way that it gets into something. In general, however, they seem to be very effective at preventing damage from liquid spills.
This may not qualify as SaaS but I built makerpad.co to show people how to build products/businesses without code. Currently $27k over the last month. One person, not my full time gig.

Wtf am I talking about?! I’m basically showing people the power of not needing to code to build something. I built an Airbnb “clone” by linking webflo, Airtable and zapier. Basically trying to show people they can build their first version without the classic “needing a technical cofounder” or “learning to code”. Tools out there right now are insane and can help you get to a place you couldn’t previously.

Okay Lynne is a recent friend and been huge in helping me the last couple weeks.

I did the normal shit of b2c (and still do) but the power of b2b is huge. I flipped my strategy and went from ~10k one month to now 30k (yes got 3.5k more since my initial comment).
The reason is more that the binary blobs that make every modern phone work couldn't be updated to the kernel ABIs every time they changed. The whole point is to make it easier to deploy new hardware with custom bits.
> Why design for 20 years when it’ll be unusable in 5?

I can't think of any modern machines that will be unusable in 5 years. Even my smartphone is 7 years old and still perfectly fine.

Until a few years back, I regularly used an old Cromemco System III computer that was built in 1979 (it has since been donated to a computer museum).
> Personally I think if something new were to come along it would have to have something that makes it interesting socially and I'm not sure there's a lot of room for improvement on that front. It's not impossible it's just a little difficult to imagine.

Google Fuschia (BSD) is planned to succeed billions of Linux-Android installations.

Linux Foundation now favors BSD over GPL.
Interesting. As someone who did something similar, not even open sourced it, I’d say it’s easy to underestimate how much goes into a simple looking budget app. I reckon it’s a year full time work to make a decent one.
Yes, and on page 712:

> Figure 8.29 Development of AGWP-CO2, AGWP-CH4 and GWP-CH4 with time horizon. The yellow and blue curves show how the AGWPs changes with increasing time horizon. Because of the integrative nature the AGWP for CH4 (yellow curve) reaches a constant level after about five decades. The AGWP for CO2 continues to increase for centuries. Thus the ratio which is the GWP (black curve) falls with increasing time horizon.

That is, CO2 greenhouse forcing continues for centuries. Back when I worked on this stuff, we used an approximate half life of 250 years. But it's really more complicated. That IPCC report says this, on page 737:

> No single lifetime can be given [for CO2]. The impulse response function for CO2 from Joos et al. (2013) has been used. See also Supplementary Material Section 8.SM.11.

From Joos et al. (2013):[0]

> The CO2 response shows the known rapid decline in the first few decades followed by a millennium-scale tail. For a 100 Gt-C emission pulse added to a constant CO2 concentration of 389 ppm, 25±9 % is still found in the atmosphere after 1000 yr; the ocean has absorbed 59±12 % and the land the remainder (16±14 %).

Google Play Services is already closed-source and that’s where the tracking happens. The fact that the base OS is technically open source is usually irrelevant if you have any proprietary Google junk on top of it. But your baseband is allowing you to be tracked too (regardless of the software on the application processor), so it’s hardly possible (certainly not easy) to have any privacy with a cell phone in your possession.
Go on eBay and buy a Nokia E7 or a Blackberry 9700. It won't cost you much and it'll prove highly educational. Phones from 10 years ago were just terrible. Irredeemably, unremittingly terrible. If you believe otherwise, it's just the rose-tinted spectacles of nostalgia; five minutes with a working device will change your mind.
Fuchsia is permissively licensed. I swear, copyleft people have the weirdest definition of freedom. How does using a license that lets you do anything with the code, including using it to compete commercially with Google, automatically indicate some nefarious plan to lock down the new platform? If they wanted to do that, why would they release Fuchsia under a permissive license in the first place?
hhahah, I remember a meeting with Roche (swiss drug company) where they said their SAP admins had to be swiss citizens. Not German, Not French and definitely not Italian was how he said it.
It means, "don't be afraid", because being afraid largely covers up who we really are by changing how we act.
They've never made an official statement or confirmation of what Fuchsia is intended to be used for, if anything. An Android OS dev making this statement is, in fact, significant news.
And we can have the handsets run on biodiesel and little windmills.
I still have a 2009 MBP (although was running linux for the last 5 years), I only just upgraded to a Dell XPS 13 this year.

Here's the funny thing: the keyboard started to fail after 9 years of use, this is the only thing that pushed me to finally get a PC replacement (new macs are terrible linux machines) - the little rubber domes under the keys just started cracking and breaking apart so some keys feel really squidgy - mind you they still work at least.

So there's a pretty insane statistic for you:

- 2009 MBP = 9 years of keyboard use (my main computer)
- 2019 MBP = <1 year before everyone has problems

Edit: RE the water thing, these models have a big sticky piece of plastic under the whole keyboard which seals it to the top case (I considered trying to replace it - although no one makes new ones so it seems kinda pointless, and quite difficult)
It's far from fully closed, it's just not copyleft anymore.
The mnemonic I use for “fuchsia” is that it’s a flower named after a guy named Fuchs.

It is a bit strange that a search engine company would choose a name that’s so difficult to spell!
Chromium might be trending in this direction too, with Electron/VSCode and the new Edge.
Yes, I spend a good amount of time doing marketing and sales, but I also spend a lot of time working w/ each engineering team, helping them to articulate and express their values. Culture is really hard to pinpoint. Companies (and especially eng teams) struggle to identify and convey what's actually unique about them, and many don't even realize they're different from other companies!

People sometimes ask me how I scrape content for each profile, but it's obvious to anyone who actually reads them that they're thoughtfully curated. A lot of time, care, and attention goes into each profile, which is what makes Key Values valuable.
