HN's model is to drive YC brand recognition and make it easier for YC companies to hire. It's free to us and, sure enough, we are the product: a huge audience of tech workers.

Assuming at least one YC company lowers its burn rate thanks to HN, survives when it otherwise wouldn't, and has a big exit, HN's value could be measured in millions or billions.

Okay - this would be incredible for so many reasons, but if it exists today and is in use in hospitals, why not show footage instead of Tim & Eric-style marketing fluff?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Don't get me wrong: I want this to exist, yesterday. But can we see a bit more live use, please?
I would say it's a natural thing: our biases are mainly a creation of our subconscious, multigenerational experience starting from prehistoric times, our instincts. And before industrial era and before long-range maritime trade started, world has been pretty much a zero-sum place, so perceiving everything as zero-sum is "natural" to us.

Come to think about it, there must be a class of businesses based on this bias, it must be one of the hardest for people to overcome (just as it is hard to overcome lure of sexualized ads: that too, is an instinct, requiring too much conscious power to reject, especially when seeing it casually).

I remember installing Linux when I was like 14 and having a hard time trying to understand what x86/x86_64/x64/arm64 was. Knowledge that is mandatory, isn't explained in the place where kids encounter it for the first time, but completely useless if all you want to do is use a computer.

> At least on Linux, isn't DNS all at the application level anyway? There is no system level DNS lookup

Nearly all applications use the standard library, i.e. getaddrinfo(3) or the old gethostbyname(3) or something that wraps them. Which itself uses the services configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf, one of which is DNS which will in turn query the DNS server(s) configured in /etc/resolv.conf.

You can also have other services configured in nsswitch.conf like "mdns" (multicast DNS for names of devices on the LAN) and "files" for /etc/hosts, or any other name resolution system. The general result is that you can change the settings for the whole system and even add completely new name resolution services (like, for example, DoH) and have substantially everything automatically use them.

Closer to orangutans doesn't mean evolved from orangutans.

The idea is that humans evolved from a common ancestor, and retained more of the DNA that orangutans now have than chimps did.
Also, most crucially, experience — qualia. How would you formulate the relations among these five possibly different things?
Monads enable DSLs exactly as well as macros. The bind operator is nothing else than a standard interpreter interface.

In fact, monads have better afordance on domain specific semantics, while macros usually afford specific syntaxes. That makes macro based DSLs shallow and hard to understand when compared to the monad ones.
Here is the deal. People own the land on both sides of the ICW. While the "riparian" rights are being fought in court, it's coming down to "do I own the water line". If I do then I can control the water line to the center of the channel. Before the nonsense of a Sean boat, they owned to the high tide line. But now they can point to a boat with issues (Sean's boat) they can make a claim out to mid channel. Blocking him from anchoring.

You ask "Can he / we be arrested and the answer is yes. Yes in Florida and a growing segment in Georgia and the Carolina's. There is no power balance at the Sean level. There is at the boater association level. But Sean isn't helping us going "We are responsible boaters with motive power and boats that look like they will last the next 36 hours.

For me, if there's not comprehensive documentation, I will not try to understand it. I'm not smart enough to grasp it quickly and not willing to dedicate the time to doing so. I'm forever in debt to those who have the time and patience to make that documentation possible because I wouldn't have a career without them
Debian is as sleek as you want to it to be, in your case if you're after bleeding-edge packages the release you want to try is either Testing or Unstable, not Stable(in this case aka. Buster). APT was recently updated and shortened to a 3 letter command(à la DNF) and is now run as simply #apt update.

Not always, especially when working with electronics. Many manufacturers offer development parts at one price, then when you try to scale up production you find the price can be double or triple the original cost. Sometimes the smaller fabricating shops are willing to take slimmer margins as they dont have the bloat of managment, regulatory issues and worker costs such as medical and collective barganing agreements.

> The number of online interactions made on Facebook’s mobile app in the UK plummeted by 38pc between June 2018 and June 2019, according to the analytics firm Mixpanel.

I find it hard to believe that Mixpanel has any kind of insight into this kind of information.

> Interactions, which occur when users click on a web link or advert inside the Facebook app, declined in seven of the last 12 months, with an average monthly fall of 2.6pc.

I think a more likely explanation of the decline is the following if all they're doing is tracking link clicks (I assume these are aggregate figures for all their clients):

The option to silence unknown numbers in iOS13 has killed their annoyance for me. Soon though they'll flood voicemail boxes making just as annoying to figure out u missed something important or not.

There's one near where I used to live in Chicago. They use a local Forest preserve. Strangely there is a contigent of neighbors who continually try to get the whole thing shutdown because they don't think young kids should be outside like that all the time. They try to complain and say they leave garbage or are noisy or other invented complaints. From what I understand, what they're really upset about is that they can't let their dogs run around off the leash with little kids around all the time.
That sounds like a terrible idea. One security vulnerability in the single implementation and everyone loses their funds.

"At about that same time, some avionics manufacturers were expressing interest in SQLite, which prompted the SQLite developers to design TH3 to support the rigorous testing standards of DO-178B.

The first code for TH3 was laid down on 2008-09-25. An intense effort over the next 10 months resulted in TH3 achieving 100% MC/DC on 2009-07-25. The TH3 code continues to be improved and expanded."

You could also check for the LAN IP with WebRTC and scan (at least that network as a /24) for services. You'd probably want to do something like that in a worker. Besides that, obviously browsers should seek permission for web sites to access resources from loopback/RFC1918/RC4193 addresses. You will however usually not be able to get information from them (CORS) but might affect services (get a ROKU to open an app etc.) with GET/POSTS to certain services or devices.
You can only see it as a “move” if you consider Debian to be a single reasoning entity. But consider: the person making such a patchset would be the Gnome maintainers, and they would not really have an incentive to do so; Gnome upstream probably changed the default for a reason, and the maintainers of the Debian Gnome package, being voluntary maintainers, probably are philosophically aligned with Gnome upstream. The rest of Debian, like the package maintainer who chooses what Desktop Environment should be the default, can not make such a change to the Gnome package without a quite adversarial process involving the Technical Committee, and in practice this process is rarely used, and even when used, rarely successful.

Therefore, it is the expected result that Debian should follow the upstream Gnome into using Wayland.
So can we stop poisoning the food supply you fucking morons.
I don't like the restaurant analogies. If it were possible to cook a steak to your liking in a single minute, you might worry the first few times that it was just being prepared ahead of time, not cooked fresh. But that should pass when you eat the steak and enjoy it.

Similarly, it might take some adjusting to really fast UIs, but I feel like we'd be better off adjusting rather than this nonsense.
There are good and bad ways to do such a rewrite. If the 5-years are spent completely isolated from the world, then no. But if the system has been used in live production for a couple years before the 5-years is up, then yes. I think "technical debt" is a really large hindrance, believe that even long lived systems are still full of hidden bugs, and would probably bet on the newcomer with a clean codebase if they can get far enough along to have a working system.
I am not saying that C++ is the answer for large-scale productivity software, but C++ is the answer for the complicated widgets used there. I would prefer Rust for the main framework of photoshop too, but I am not sure whether there is an elegant way writing the canvas widget.

We used it for a while, and when we started running into locking and performance issues, we upgraded to Postgres. It was pretty great while it lasted though.

We still use it for a bunch of internal apps, which we've mostly forgotten about since it keeps on trucking.

Personally, I love SQLite, and I still use it for crunching data when a CSV/spreadsheet will be too complicated.
Most gyms have certified personal trainers available to hire. Pay an expert to give you a few lessons on proper form. That will help you avoid injury.

You can query the schema and get only the data you need. Eg a rest endpoint that returns a list of all users with all of their info. With Graphql, if you only want the users name, you can ask for that and graphql will return only the names of all users, reducing the payload by a lot. Or use the schema to get only the data you need perhaps eliminating the need to fetch all user’s names in the first place.

Not quite. xattrs are not indexed, so if you want efficient retrieval by xattr tags you have to build/maintain your own inverted index. xattrs are good if you have a file that you want to store metadata about, but not so good if you want to use that metadata for discovery (at least in my experience, maybe I'm missing something, but I've implemented a remote file syncing system using xattrs and I never came across a tool in the unix arsenal beyond find + getfattr which is painfully slow).
The owners of the networks have time and time again done user hostile things that have compromised their security and privacy.

Corporate networks are a small percentage of network traffic and their use cases are less important in the grand scheme of the internet.

DNS over HTTPS is a solution because network owners can't be trusted. Either by blocking or by taking their DNS logs and selling it to advertiser's.
I don't have any real social media presence with the kind of things I'm making now, so an e-commerce site of my own would be little different from putting up a tent to sell from in the middle of a desert. Etsy is a marketplace like eBay, which means there's already millions of people there searching for things to buy. Just by being there and knowing a bit about search optimization, they put my products in front of a couple hundred people a day, so I had sales coming in from nearly day one without advertising. My first machine is a Glowforge, which I've been running 6-12 hours a day since I bought it. Figured I'd start at hobby level equipment and work my way up.

it's by the company that makes these massive boring machines.
I also decided to start with a Glowforge. I've been running it 6-12 hours a day since the day it arrived. It's pretty great so far. I've also somehow talked 7 other people into buying one in the past 45 days, so I've gotten over $1500 in free material from their store to craft with.
True. And that's about attendees quality which is another metric I don't think they optimize for in general.

Some interesting bits in the What's New [1] part of the release notes, besides just package updates. Pulling out a few:

* UEFI Secure Boot support

* AppArmor now installed by default, with profiles for various programs

* APT can optionally be sandboxed with seccomp-bpf (but not yet enabled by default)

* nftables replaces iptables as the network filter

* GNOME/Wayland by default

We've got our daughter in a similar preschool. She spends 2-3 hours during school days outside in a semi-structured environment. (Ie, there are adults and rules, but the kids are free to negotiate their own games, social interactions, and play.)

It's been astounding how well balanced and social all the kids are from that school. I supposed it's anecdata (I only know ~10-15 kids), but there's a lot more awareness and empathy than I've seen from other kids in the 3-5 year old range. Observationally, there is a little less skills development in reading/coloring within the lines.

As a parent, it feels impossible to know the right thing to do for your kids. You have to emphasize something in their education, at the expense of something else. Choosing a school that values the outdoors, empathy, and social development as the basis for teaching seems to complement our tech savvy home life. I hope it works out.

VC Fund My Life
I loved the idea of Montessori, and it’s an issue I raised in open discussion at one of the school’s group chats.

Basically, in principle it’s great. Children drive themselves and follow what they’re passionate about (with a teacher’s encouragement). If they’ve got a tendency for math, for example, the teacher helps them develop their own intuitions and keeps those pathways open for them.

In practice, my son believed there was a limit on his abilities to develop because children under 4 years and zero days weren’t allowed to begin learning numbers (or those stations weren’t available to him). You see, it’s still cohort based learning, where cohort is based on age not ability.

So he knew numbers from home, but believed at school he was incapable. It was a strange sort of cognitive dissonance where he could only “count to twenty” as reinforced by his classmates, because he wasn’t old enough to do the number station. And yet, he didn’t realize that meant he wasn’t able to say the numbers greater than 20 - but often times he’d go from 1-200, etc.

Math wasn’t the only topic where this happened unfortunately.

This was at one of the few fully certified Montessori programs in San Diego.

I believe that it was a better program than a median program, but I’m not sure if it’s because his peers came from families who could afford to spend time with their children, or if the program itself was better than median.

However, it’s a different model that definitely did not address my root concern - assisting a child to advance at their own pace (faster or slower). Which just means that my expectations were mismanaged.

Overall, I think the forest kindergarten concept is more rewarding for my kid, and he’s at least happy going to and coming home from school. That’s an oft overlooked part of schooling: ensuring your child isn’t miserable - and there’s quite a bit of misery at Montessori, due to the focus on quiet, individual work.
I think your parent's implication is that the articles would be improved by answering the question posed in their last paragraph: 'So I guess my question is how would the proposed manufacturing process in this article be an improvement? Cheaper manufacturing costs? Even higher efficiency if you had "multi-junction cells" made using the processed discussed?'
"Mixpanel tracked impressions of linked content down significantly, likely meaning how people use Facebook has shifted very modestly."

> TSA best thing to happen to Amtrack

In both NYC and Boston, the track for boarding isn’t shown to the waiting area until arriving passengers had a chance to leave the train. Once your track number is shown you have only a couple minutes to board, and depart.

This means you can arrive at NYC’s Penn Station or Boston’s South Station 5 minutes before departure and walk right onto your train.

When I factor the terminal location and the boarding convenience at both ends of my trip, I can get door to door from midtown NYC to downtown Boston faster by Acela than by air.

Before TSA, the flights won. I could hit LGA curbside 15 minutes before gate close and be in my plane seat. Now, the variability is much too high, and TSA is too likely to be completely mismanaging surge situations, so typically 2 hours buffer is needed as a guarantee instead of 15 mins.

> The point of economics is that it keeps us alive so we can do math and also think in other ways; the point of consciousness is not to make money.

The point of consciousness absolutely is to make money - or rather, to improve the organism's efficiency and thereby survivability by making it capable of introspection and self-optimisation.
