No, seriously. Russia did not exist back in 1986. It has nothing to do with the correctness of the opinions expressed in the article. If we were to talk about Germany in 1987, I think, it would be very important to distinguish between east and west, no?
Also, hilarious or not, if you make a slip on correct historical terms (as a nuclear catastrophe happening in a country that did not even exist at the time, and even managing to get current geographical term wrong), it does reflect poorly on the quality and/or perceived quality of the whole piece.

I visit Delaware Ohio from Marion about once a week and all along the way are fields left fallow. Corn should be higher than it is now when the old saying says knee high by July it probably won't be quite that tall. That saying hasn't really been true for years as by July modern corn crops are usually waist high or even higher.

You'd think so but let me tell you - the hardest thing in the world is to convince someone to give you money for your product. You can easily get lots of compliments, lots of feedback, lots of positivity, but money? Oh boy. Just try and see how easy it is to find customers.

> also capitalisem will always makes the safest nuclear power plant unsafe.

Literally half the bad nuclear disasters happened under communism, the opposite of capitalism. Due 100% to gross mismanagement. That was Chernobyl.

The half that happened under capitalism (Fukushima) was a mild incident compared to the catastrophic natural disaster that triggered it.

Capitalists, funny to say, go to extraordinary lengths to protect their very expensive capital. They want safe nuclear power more than anyone.

The fact that reboots happen mostly when software (kernels, system) is upgraded is part of it. It's simplest and most reliable to initialize the system from clean state (I've often had an idea it would be best to reinstall Windows+software for each reboot).

One of the biggest mistakes nerds make is to build a project, not a business. Business have to create value. Most businesses do that by solving problems.

The difficulty with going for a "need" that is not "I need to solve this problem" is that you have to convince people that they have the need, and that your product best satisfies it. General needs (Maslow hierarchy etc.) tend to be vague and served by many different product types. Sure, there are exceptions, but most businesses solve problems and if you're not explicitly doing that then you're either taking a more difficult road, or you're not building a business.
Hardware has lots and lots of pieces of memory, not only block-ram, but also many registers. The needs to be initialized after power-off.

As for the software: Hibernate is storing that initialized state.
You can do warm boot images (Sony's Linux-based Alpha cameras do this, for example), but these have to be tailor-made for each model... feasible for a camera manufacturer, impossible for a Linux distribution.

I think this is just words getting interpreted differently. We just can't have strict definitions of words when it comes to contemporary conversations especially when we have to allow for ambiguity and benefit of doubt because everyone's vocabulary varies. Only scientific, technical, legal etc texts (specifically where non-ambiguity is demanded) need a strict definition.

I'm building an alternative for Pocket/Instapaper because I find the current tools sorely lacking. No one needs it but it solves a legitimate problem in my life and hopefully those of others. Expanding onwards, no one "needs" a mobile phone, television, reddit or even HN itself but these solve legitimate problems in life. By the strictest definition, no one "needs" anything more than clean air, water, food and shelter.

So needs can be approximated to problems for the sake of conversation around startups, ideas, business etc.
It's very unlikely the bugs killed those startups.

This makes a lot of sense. High nit monitors, are extremely hot. (they’re basically light bulbs), and the hotter they get the shorter they last. In that case it makes a lot of sense to maximize airflow and heat dissipation, not just one or the other. And from a design standpoint it does so in a very thin space which is important because equivalently bright monitors are about a half a foot thick if not an entire foot thick. I’d imagine the effects are still helpful for a hot computer as well. People are really under appreciative about the design and engineering work that went into building the latest Mac Pro, the monitor (and even the stand), but I realize I’m probably in a very small minority of people.

> _if_ Iran is still developing nuclear weapons in secret

You mean like Israel?

Pointing nuclear weapons at a nation that has had those nuclear weapons pointed at them for years seems only fair to me.
That's the same Netanyahu that campaigned for the Iraq invasion in 2003:

"Ehud Barak wrote a New York Times op-ed warning that "the greatest risk now lies in inaction". His predecessor as prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, published a similar piece in the Wall Street Journal, entitled: "The Case for Toppling Saddam". "Today nothing less than dismantling his regime will do"

https://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/mehdi-hasan/2010/02/iraq-...

And the same Israel that pressured the US into ant-Saddam intervention 13 years before, in 1990:

There are only two groups that are beating the drums of war in the Middle East,' wrote American columnist Patrick Buchanan, 'the Israeli defence ministry and their amen corner in the US."

I disagree. There are narratives that become historical standards. These can be changed but there it requires ongoing effort to rectify the narrative against the latest research.

Take the impeachment of Johnson as an example. The narrative has always been that Congress had gone out of control and tried to remove him out of some plot to gain more power. In actuality the Republicans were trying to save what was left of Reconstruction.

The role of slavery as a cause of the American revolution is non-existent in anything but graduate level historical research.

While it's not 1984 levels of indoctrination it's wrong to say that there aren't approved narratives that support the legitimacy of the State.

As an engineer, that is the biggest disservice you can do to yourself. Business needs a different mindset than engineering. Without actually putting it in the market and letting it stand for itself, you have no idea if it's ACTUALLY good or not. Or if it was just a fluke in your life.

Sometimes, what you think are, terrible ideas can be legitimately life changing for other people.

As an example, consider the PCIe bus controller. Say it had some non-volatile memory so that when it powers on, it just reads the bus configuration from the NVM instead of enumerating and initializing the devices on the bus. Lots of time saved.

Well that wouldn't really work without the PCIe devices also storing the configuration in NVM. If I plug a x16 device into a x4-only slot (as is typical for the third PCIe x16 slot on motherboards that have it), the device needs to know it has to only use 4 lanes, not the full 16.

Ok, so say the controller has some way to tell the devices to save their state, and when powering on they all read from NVM and can just go on talking with each other right away, no further initialization required. Yay!

Except then you power off your machine, and swap that GPU for the new one you bought from your friend. Now the new GPU has the configuration from your friends motherboard, and your bus controller has no idea about this new card... so this is doomed to fail.

Of course this could be worked around by querying the bus for the devices we expect to be there... except that's the initialization step we were trying to avoid in the first place...
> One thing to note when reading such reports with quotes the German police, is that the bar for a police officer being "hurt" is ridiculously low in Germany.

I'm totally okay with it.

One thing to note, at least in Berlin where I live, there's huge contempt and disrespect towards police. Some criminals (calling themselves "protesters") are literally throwing rocks, cobblestones, bottles (or at times Molotov cocktails) at policemen. This is totally despicable and should never be accepted.

At the same time police is heavily underfunded and constrained in their means by ignorant (malevolent?) local government.

Oh. Of course.
Can you avoid the passive voice? Who precisely is expecting German-Americans to have "white guilt"?
I think against China or Russia the carriers will be destroyed quite quickly. Against an inferior army like Iran, they will be okay.

The purpose of aircraft carriers are more often to launch attacks against inferior nations or highly inferior subnational entities so they are useful there.
The Fact That Americans Need to Be Deceived into War Proves Their Goodness
> Why does anyone have to risk anything while going to work?

Because it's their fucking job. There are plenty of jobs that don't require you to put your life into danger, and being a police officer isn't one of them. Don't want to risk your life while on a job? Don't get a job that requires you to enforce the rules on those that are not willing to follow the rules. Groundbreaking discovery, I know.

Great Powers can hit while they still have their satellites. But in a real hot war, there will be a race to take those satellites all out as well.

In a real hot war between Great Powers, the ability to destroy will be quite huge, especially against strategic targets, compared to defense abilities.
That's just jaw dropping.

But, if you want this project to survive long term, you really need to sort out systems so your not doing manual work like that by hand.

No it doesn't, because it always will choose based on color, even though you may hire explicitly based on skill for instance.

> Trump calling the attack off was a surprisingly sober call on his part.

I am not too sure. The US are already attacking Iran, by strangling its economy, effectivly subjecting it to a blockade. They don't need an open war for that, it would be an unnecessary cost, economic and diplomatic- but at the same time they have to show they're absolutely ready for it.

For the US (but in fact Israel and Saudi Arabia, the only ones that gain from this) the best option is to keep choking Iran in silence, without much hassle, so the rest of the world can keep looking the other way.

Depends on how you classify bugs. If a bug is anytime your product doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to, then yeah, I’ve seen startups suffer massively from that. I worked with one that had 90% of new customers churn out in their first month (you might be able to guess, that company doesn’t exist any more). If you broaden your definition to include ‘problems with the code base that significantly slow down new features’, then I’ve seen even more startups die trying to release their ‘v2.0’.

The thing about the ‘we’ll iterate on it later’ mentality is that your product has to be in pretty good shape to be able to benefit from small incremental improvements. If it’s a garbage fire then making the smallest changes turns into an arduous nightmare, that inevitably just ends up introducing even more bugs to your product.

But to be fair, for as many startups as I’ve seen go out of business due to these problems, I’ve seen just as many stagnate into a state where they have just enough revenue to cover their small payroll, and remain in that state for a very long time.
I'd rather see it the other way around: they were able to find 400 fools, or fool 400 people into doing this ridiculous stunt.

But the bulk of those subsidies are the fuel credit rebate. On the one hand, it is technically a subsidy under the standard definitions of what a subsidy is. On the other hand, the tax was never intended to tax diesel because of some problem with diesel, it was literally intended to target (quoting from the Act [0]):

"(a) fuel used in private vehicles and for certain other private purposes; and (b) fuel used on-road in light vehicles for business purposes."

Ie, it is a tax on road users as a user-pays style of thing and the subsidy is an accounting trick to make it easy to implement.

If a solar company used a lot of fuel without using the public road system, they would be eligible for the subsidy too. It isn't conceptually mining specific.
