My thought process is a bit circular and paradoxical, I admit it. I also tried to be brief, which led to a long list at one point being truncated to the phrase "whatever you want" which might be misleading. My intent was more like "anything at all." In other words, meaning is everywhere. Even the post office. (Or it's nowhere, and that's ok too.)

Wanting your life to be meaningful is still you, caring about your life, that's the ego part. You can skip the whole meaning thing if you want, and just start doing things. I dunno, it helped me unblock myself.
Kiyosaki may be just a talented storyteller, but his book was highly recommended to me by an undeniably successful source: a friend's father who emigrated to the US with nothing and built a fortune in real estate while working as an ER surgeon and raising a family.

I advise people to ignore Kiyosaki's other products, but the message of the books Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cashflow is pretty sound.

Same thing goes about almost all controls and UI elements existing inside web browsers. I'm around web development for years and it's very saddening and heart breaking for me to see all this milling around in one place, round and round and results are not that much different.

Sometimes I really, really dread this whole "frontend" related churn, tooling, javascript and it's quirks. I looked at Flutter recently wondering - maybe this is the answer? But this probably is just another turn of the wheel, it was attempted already in the past with adobe air/flex and many other projects.

Maybe reason for this is that programming and whole IT is very young craft, mere child's play compared to different industries like for example construction which has thousands years of history, trials, successes and errors.

The problem is any regulation is that it increases the startup costs for smaller businesses.

So as more regulation comes in it will just end up cementing the large players in place as they can absorb the costs of any regulation, while smaller businesses will have higher startup costs (which lets face it were next to nothing).

So while you maybe rejoicing now that shitty companies have gone for now, regulation will just make it harder for these massive companies to be toppled as it makes it harder for smaller companies to comply.

The EU are trying to have article 13 pushed through and any site that has user generated content will have to have some sort of upload filter to check for copyrighted content. That is going to cost money to implement and since Youtube hasn't really be able to achieve it, the only people that will be supplying the software will be the likes of Google, Microsoft etc ... So again it will just make it harder to the small business and help the large businesses.

Also a lot of these regulations make are making the web a shittier place. Every time I go onto a site now, I have the stupid cookie and GDPR notice plaster in front of what I want to look at. I already protect myself and don't care about their attempt to track me. It is just an irritation that nobody pays attention to and it achieves the opposite of what it was intended to achieve.
In before a "paid premium" unlock option allowing user's to bypass the limitation, or a lawsuit because someone gets stranded or can't do something because the bloody charger wouldn't let them fully charge.

This is where the full plugin EV supply chain has to wrangle with it's Achilles' heel.

An ICE fuel reserve can be topped up in minutes, and range extended trivially through the usage of fuel containers added as cargo.

Size of tank can be trivially adjusted by changing the characteristics of the pump itself mechanically: I.e. larger hoses, stronger pumps, etc...

Electricity, however, will always be throttled by arcane particulars of the particular battery being charged,

Major limiting factors of the Supercharger network based on configuration, and operating principle would include:

-the capacity of the "Supercharger" to pull more power from the grid (in the case of on-demand offsite power generation)

-to store large amounts of on demand power without losses or excessive hazard (in-the case of periodic "store and forward" generation schemes characterized by periodic stints where the station would essentially heavily charge its own power storage media from the grid, during low grid utilization time to build up enough buffer to handle the demand of the day; this further complicates the charging process by requiring extra attention by grid operators to ensure the grid can handle the additional worst case peak loading should many stations need to charge at the same time; extra care is also necessary by station operators, as a battery failure at the levels of electricity being stored would be catastrophic; this would be the EV equivalent of our current hydrocarbon distribution supply chain)

-To scale power generation and transmission capability on site with power demand in the case of on-site, on demand power generation being feasible. This approach is even less sexy than the norm due to the impacts of NIMBYism, and power generation efficiency generally only being able to be maximized at large size.

Capping at 80% charge, whether one likes it or not, is systemically speaking not delivering on the promise of a delivered substitute for an ICE vehicle with an operating range as described at the dealership, which will likely lead to some lawsuits based on false advertising, and really digging into what it means for legal liability when you are the vehicle manufacture, dealer, and infrastructure operator. If you sell a car advertised as having range X, but limit them to range Y as the main supplier of charging infrastructure, the false-advertising case writes itself.

It also starts getting into the messy gray area where the entire Tesla ecosystem starts looking like a vertically integrated transportation monopoly.

Wooh. That ended up longer than I thought it would, but man, is Tesla a technically "rich" area in terms of food for thought. To have enough time to dig into the numbers, and actually try to get a feel for things...wistful stare.

This is so simplistic. There are many storage solutions for many different use cases.

Some of these are write once and immutable afterwards.

There are relational structures for transaction history that may also link to customers.

These all have to be re-designed in such away that information can be removed from the system and exported from the system, while keeping essential information (such as past sales records).

This is not an easy problem to solve.
Anecdotally, I thought that many companies just decided to exit the European market because the costs of GDPR were so high.
This is tired logic. The fact remains that if I go out and look up in the sky and see moving lights, I'm going to be annoyed. Airplane, satellite, whatever, it's not a good experience and it is absolutely a problem still regardless of the comparison to other problems. However someone said it would be rare. As long as I don't look up and see non-natural moving lights in the sky I'm cool with it.
How do you determine the tax? Is the government to determine how long different car models and manufacturers will last?

Even if you charge a flat tax ($50 per laptop), there’s still little incentive for the manufacturer to provide ongoing support.

The tax money was spent enabling the NSA to hack into foreign computers, which is the SIGINT directorate's whole job. It sucks that their favorite bug got burned! It is a problem that it leaked, and developing a new pet bug ahead of schedule is an inefficient use of tax dollars. But NSA didn't make this bug, and it's not even unlikely that other people had it before it leaked, just in a different exploit package. Now that there's a reliable exploit attributable to NSA, everyone is going to use that one regardless.
I think it was Issac Asimov's quote that the most exciting phrase in science is not "Eureka!" but "Hmmm... that's funny..."

Meaning, many innovations are the result of unexpected outcomes rather than a brilliant mind setting out to prove a specific result
Although high general intelligence is common among hackers, it is not the sine qua non one might expect. Another trait is probably even more important: the ability to mentally absorb, retain, and reference large amounts of ‘meaningless’ detail, trusting to later experience to give it context and meaning. A person of merely average analytical intelligence who has this trait can become an effective hacker, but a creative genius who lacks it will swiftly find himself outdistanced by people who routinely upload the contents of thick reference manuals into their brains. [During the production of the first book version of this document, for example, I learned most of the rather complex typesetting language TeX over about four working days, mainly by inhaling Knuth's 477-page manual. My editor's flabbergasted reaction to this genuinely surprised me, because years of associating with hackers have conditioned me to consider such performances routine and to be expected. —ESR]

Since you quoted a rule out of context I'd like to provide the full version for ironic effect:

> Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead.

That last sentence would seem to imply you've broken the rules yourself simply by commenting about another user doing so... Which ironically I'm also now guilty of.

So we're left with two options, mods delete both our comments for violations... Or maybe we relax and hear out the GP comment...

They actually brought up a very good point that I'm sure many of us on HN have noticed in regards to recent NYT articles being quite clickbaity and generally being of a lower journalistic standards.

I enjoyed the article, but I think the author learned the wrong lesson from his friend's success story. Csongor says:

> Then learning the answer revealed that it's actually something that can be fixed --- as is always the case with these things if you think about them enough.

The author focuses on the consequent, thinking long and hard about something, but misses the antecedent, acquiring a deep understanding of a problem area.

I'd say the antecedent is as important as the consequent, if not more important. If you went to grad school you likely knew tons of brilliant people who worked long and hard on important and difficult problems and got nowhere. What they were missing was not some secret effortsauce, but that they picked a problem on which they didn't have an opening or insight into, so all their hard work was them spinning their wheels while standing still.

One thing I tell my students now is that they should always pick problems where they have something everybody else working in the same area doesn't. Like if you want to do formal verification but your background is years spent in industry as a kernel developer, you should avoid the temptation to chase the latest fad (e.g., adversarial machine learning or Spectre/Meltdown), and instead pick a poorly understood and validated module in the kernel and try to find out what you can do to make that module more secure.

Why the Middle East Is a Mess – This Is My Land

Earth surface area: 510 000 000 km2

1% is 5 100 000 km2

I don't know how much this material reflects back, say it's 50%. So you need 10,2 mil. km2 to reflect back 1% of energy

Total USA land area 9,147,590 km2

You'd need to put roof over the entire USA with this material.

Also currently used materials also reflect something, so that would have to be accounted for, further increasing the needed area.
brilliant! and thank you very much!
I'm surprised no one is talking about React JSX. I'd be very interested to hear the authors opinion on it.

Unlike the author's examples, JSX isn't intended to be used by business people, but I think JSX presents some of the same problems but instead with regard to web designers. JSX is a DSL that was intended to help simplify and streamline the process of building a web app, but the leakiness of JSX as an abstraction prevents anyone less than a full front-end engineer from working effectively with React.

>The study about VC having dropped by 50% in the EU because of the GDPR sounds pretty weird to me. Unless of course there’s selection bias and we’re talking AdTech companies mostly.

It's really that surprising to you that when the EU effectively bans one of the most profitable models of business that venture capital investment will drop by 50% in the EU?

To be fair, it's probably just not GDPR but all of these regulations combined. Venture capital can move across borders, why would you invest in a startup in the EU when you could just do it in the US?
Yes.

Incredibly, the German minister of the interior has recently announced his intention to force messengers like WhatsApp, Signal, etc. to decrypt messages when required by warrant.

> At lower temperatures, parts of me get colder than necessary.

Then you wouldn't want to wear a device that made you feel even colder, would you?

> At higher temperatures, I'm already past saturation on evaporation, and the excess just dehydrates me.

And making you feel cooler would not change that your body is not actually being cooled--if you're at saturation, your body can't cool itself. So to avoid your body overheating, you would need to go someplace that is actually cooler. Just making you feel cooler wouldn't help. (You might get some increase in the time you could stay outside if your body sweated less and therefore dehydrated less.)
Product operational and has generated some money (I'd guess 6 figures but over a period of years) but I'm not a strong enough developer to continue maintaining and building it out myself and don't have enough money to keep a developer on tap (e.g. to deal with emergencies). Without people at the ready it's too risky for me to keep selling it because it has a high stakes use case.

You could innovate and make spreadsheet debugable, or allow comments.

The argument that users don’t want a way to know what the logic they’ve created does is taking the point of view the users are idiots and don’t know any better rather than the developers aren’t thinking about how people are to reason about problems. If anything it’s the fault of the developers for not thinking clearly about how problems are solved in general and are locked into thinking in terms of their computer’s existing poor approximations of reasoning.
Back when apple was in news for going up against the FBI and refusing to build a custom OS to help decrypt phones, Qualcomm had an all-hands meeting where somebody asked the president of QCT what Qualcomm’s policy was for decrypting phones for governments.

Christiano Amon was very candid. I don’t remember his exact words but it was along the lines of “if the police come asking for something, it’s a good idea to give it to them”
