Well it was a youtube gimmick, just a proof that wood-on-wood isn't as high friction as people think.

But there were wooden bicycles without ball bearings in real-life history and they worked with the infrastructure they had. How well they worked is a different thing, but still it proves "no tech to build a bicycle" isn't the reason we waited for bicycles for thousands of years.

We had people jumping off towers with wooden wings for centuries before aeroplanes were made after all ;)

It would be perfectly possible for Romans to make bicycles from technological POV. Just wouldn't make sense because 2 slaves with some chair on sticks were cheaper.

BTW - first real world mass-produced bicycle added ball bearings after several years:

> On the new macadam paved boulevards of Paris it was easy riding, although initially still using what was essentially horse coach technology. It was still called "velocipede" in France, but in the United States, the machine was commonly called the "bone-shaker". Later improvements included solid rubber tires and ball bearings.

I value probono's opinion on these things because he has a similar disdain for package managers as I do and a similar conception of the way things should be. Unfortunately he has so far only confirmed my belief that adding a package manager to Haiku just made things more complicated. Sure, he recommends some behind-the-scenes magic that can make it a little better, but that's never going to be as good as just being simple in the first place.

Also disheartening (though not at all surprising) is the developer response to this: "We optimized for the most usual usecases here. If there is actually a demand for this beyond one user, we can implement". That's my problem with "magic", it only appears to work the way you expect until your usecase falls outside of the expected, then the illusion is destroyed.

The HVIF format sounds like a really good idea. If I ever get around to making my own desktop environment, which is looking more and more likely to be the only way I can escape the dystopia laid out for personal computing's future, I might use it.
While you're right about Jeff's net worth, profit is also misleading as many times it's manipulated for tax gains/shield. Amazon is notorious for doubling down on reinvesting into capex and maintaining a thin profit margin.

Either way, Amazon profits would not be hit by the full $13B increase - more likely profits would remain unchanged, while capex and other investments would go down by that amount.
My understanding of Dell's implementation is that the TB port has a little thunderbolt next to it while the usb-c one doesn't.
but does that person need to be a CEO? or could most of the day to day be managed by someone at a much lower rate. and then use the board/ceo to make directional and larger decisions.

high level decision making is not needed all day every day at most companies. Even the ones i've worked at that had thousands of employees, could operate with out a head being around 9-5. Particularly so if they were well managed.
Venting from multiple, engineered, locations rather than a single explanding rupture would spare the airframe from catastropic disintegration. It's still hell on the cargo and pilots.

You'd need a venting system which itself would detect sudden pressure change and blow first -- effectively a pressure circuit breaker. That itself would all but certainly introduce multiple new catastrophic failure modes.

Your suggestion generalises to flying an airplane's pressure hull within another pressure hull. This scales poorly in a regime where weight and payload space are highly constrained (though it has similarities to nonpressurised oil tanker double-hull design). Yo dawg, I hear you like airplanes, here's an airplane you can put your airplane in so you can fly your airplane in an airplane....

Better to design-proof against metal fatigue-induced ruptures in the first place.

Donation bins for nonperishable goods are there for a few reasons.

1. Promote Awareness of the Food Bank, and to create connections with either potential clients or donors. Having a presence that you walk by on your way to buy lettuce can have a long term benefit on name recognition.

2. Improve store relations. Donors buy products from the store at full-markup, and the store has more incentive to continue to support its own community initiatives from the reminder that the store supports the food bank. Grocery stores tend to have some autonomy on the causes they can support.

3. Some people genuinely do not like the idea of donating money to the food bank. They prefer the physical act of buying something to donate, whether it be because they're worried about mismanagement of funds, the money going towards paying staff, or wanting to have a direct impact on the program itself (I only want my money to go towards food). Some people limit their contributions to stuff that's about to expire in a month from quarterly pantry clearing, or when they're about to move.

On a side note, some people don't want to end up on a fundraising list or hassled for donations. Cans are effectively anonymous. A small donation of $10 to a food bank that sends out quarterly fundraising mailouts can mean $6 of your donation went into fundraising.

«But is a 5Gbps cable enough? Or is a 10Gbps cable needed?»

Here is the answer: if you need DisplayPort 1.0-1.2, a 5 Gbps cable is enough.

If you need DP 1.3-1.4 (where they upped the transfer rate for higher resolution and fps,) you need a 10 Gbps cable.

If you need DP 2.0 (I don't think products are out yet, the standard was finalized last month,) you will need a USB4 20 Gbps cable.
Most laptop chargers are 65W, some are 95W, I haven't seen one over 100W. USB-C Power Delivery can do 100W (20V, 5A). More than 100W for the 1 in a million user is not the target of USB consortium.

What? You seem to be misunderstanding my statements.

My first points were about the streetview product. Scooping up passwords is obviously not the intent of that product, maybe that was an error or they changed the core product at some point? I can't read the paywalled article.

I'm not suggesting non-technical users create products... you're reading so far out of context. Just because user X can't create a new product does not mean that we should place sanctions on company Y. I'm glad you used facts somewhere else because in this post you just illogically connect a bunch of dots.

Yes some of it is my opinion and alot of this is yours. But a fact is still no one is forcing you to use these products, then you went off about stolen passwords and trolling and resigned yourself from the argument. That sounds like a rationality of a completely one-sided biased individual in itself, respectfully.

Yes everyone agrees transparency is good and lying is bad. Google is not Evil Or Benevolent. They're just people...

"And I don’t use them. I hoped that by continuing to mention non-technical users you’d get it, but this was never about me. You keep bringing up that argument, but read what you replied to in the first post — I recounted the experience of non-technical people I know, not my experience. Stop telling me I have a choice; the point is not us, it’s non-technical users who don’t have the knowledge to make informed choices!"

Haha you are so ridiculous. This was your first post:

There’s also the relevant consideration that no matter how useful they may be, they should have no right to impose themselves on you.

Then you say you don't know why I bring up that you don't need to use Googles services... C'mon man get real. That's why the point about using alternatives or creating new ones is very relevant and this entire thread is about sanctions. Don't start a convo you can't participate in and then just claim you won and leave, that's childish behavior.

I am anything but anti-socialist. Just pointing out that i can see why you dont care about what these poor, usually mentally ill people do with money given to them out of good will, since its not your money and you have no stake.

Edit: Wanted to add something. People usually donate or offer help to those who need because they want to see their lives improve or to make them happy. And that makes you feel bad because they dont wish their money or help end up causing harm.
I did a similar role when I was young and working at a warehouse. Basically pick, pack and ship orders. You basically worked until the orders are filled, 10, 11 hour shifts were not unusual.

An item every 8 seconds is a rapid pace, but at least when I did it, the orders are sequential based on the layout of the warehouse. You grab one item, look at the next item, walk an aisle or two down, grab that item. I would estimate something between 10 seconds between picks?

It is physically demanding work and boring as hell, but you end up in great shape! A couple decades ago when I did it the work paid really well for an unskilled job. Made putting up with it bearable.
The answer is supposed to be easy; it's "you need to buy one of those really expensive USB-C Thunderbolt 3 cables, because those cables—the ones that do everything—are supposed to be the only type of USB-C cables."

USB-C cables are supposed to be universal, i.e. have all the features, all the time; and thus, USB-C cables should (in 2019) be very expensive. Any USB-C cable that isn't very expensive (in 2019) isn't following the standard.

Huh, even on Reddit this kind of strategy would be trivially detectable.
I have been writing my thesis as an org-mode file in git that is automatically published [0] as a pdf every time I commit using a bash script tangled as a commit hook. Figures are (or can be) computed from live data, and org-ref can automatically manage and format all my references as I go without the insanity inducing workflows that one usually has to resort to. Another amazing thing about org-mode is that I can write a code block to hit a remote api (e.g. google docs) and fill and format entire chapters from a collaborative editing source that my advisor is comfortable using, C-c C-c and it is embedded in the document. Perfect for stitching papers together from a variety of sources.

While there is a learning curve, the peace of mind of having a single tool that enables me to use any tool I need to use was such a relief after years of other painful writing and publishing workflows.

If you are starting a PhD today and are going to do anything at all with code, I seriously suggest you learn org-mode. By the time you finish, not only will you have a PhD, but even if you don't you will have the power of one of the most amazing authoring tools under your command! (I would say, "Learn org-mode, simplify your life!" but emacs tends to lead to other complications).

It is easier to do when you have a lot of money of course but we don't see a lot of of companies doing it. Epic games is giving 100 million dollars out of the 1,5 billion they made last year (they made 3 billion but their investors get the other half).

Epic isn't really doing anything predatory they don't use RNG or other such things.

On top of that Sweeney is also doing quite a lot personally both as a conservationist and philanthropist.

>but they don't represent the middle of the distribution

Really? I don't think most middle-of-the-road engineers, given certain requirements, could come up with a working solution in any reasonable amount of time. For example if you just told an engineer "Implement a basic server that can execute queries based on this language spec, where you upload tables as immutable tab-separated text files" I'd guess only the top 5% of engineers could get something working in less than a month.

I don't think that executing tasks like this is something that innately only some small x% of engineers can do. For example, almost all engineers will lack at least some of the skills needed to complete any sufficiently large task: best practices for translating a query to a query plan, how to do efficient Ser-De, what data structures to use to implement the data, etc.

But most engineers lack the meta-skills or traits needed to complete the task. For example, would they first look at how basic SQL implementations and toy projects work? Look up some of the theory of RDBMS? Would they know how to write good tests, good class structures that don't require refactoring in 2 weeks as they understand more portions of the problem. Would they try to roll their own query parser or use a standardized tool like antlr?

I think the problem with this (at least on ebay, where it's also present) is that they rely on the seller to set the metadata, and the seller is generally more interested in getting more people to look at their item then being correct.

If a seller wants greater coverage, it's beneficial to deliberately mis-list their item so more searches return the item. As long as the site hosting the listings doesn't aggressively police their listings, doing this will provide a net-benefit to them.

On the other hand, it corrodes the overall utility of the e-commerce site, but that's hard to measure, particularly if the site has had a laissez faire attitude to listing accuracy so far. I mean, I assume (admittedly a guess) that ebay/amazon would do better if they required accurate listings, but to get from the way it is to that would require a LOT of investment and moderation, and that would be a very hard sell.
Also, I think he's probably doing the right thing for himself. Tiago is on the path to getting a mainstream book deal. In self-improvement, he's on the Ben Hardy or James Clear path. A huge part of that book deal is based on the number of subscribers to his mailing list.

A book deal is decent money, seemingly everyone gets an advance in the $200k range. But more importantly, it's a huge career level up for someone like Tiago. Every activity that doesn't build up your mailing list ends up being kind of a waste of time.

I suspect that Tiago could actually make more money on Medium publishing behind their paywall than he's going to make in his personal subscription program. But it's not enough that it should be his focus.

Also, I assume incentives will change again at Medium down the road as they keep trying to make the deal work for more and more authors. So maybe he'll come back, if just to cross post.

Because it didn't fit within Hacker News' 80-character headline limit.

Running up against the threshold happens to me all the time, thanks to HN's strict size limit (which used to be 100 when I started, then dropped to 90, and is now 80) and the trend for news headlines to get longer for SEO and better conversions. Sometimes I can rephrase but oftentimes I have to cut out several words to make it fit.
Since there's no derailleur, the chain would do a good job of resisting that force (though since it's only on one side, maybe it wouldn't be enough, and the wheel/seat stays would twist)

Though when you start to pedal, the chain would tend to pull in and bend the seatstays, but there should be some level of force that is less than the opposite force caused by the rider's weight, so this bike could work under light pedal pressure.

> This is a standard tactic for companies who don't want a bill to pass, but also don't want to get attacked for opposing it.

I don't think that's true. The standard tactic is to support a bill that has no teeth and/or imposes a significant "floor" cost such that complying with the regulation is a large proportion revenue for small companies but a very small proportion to large, established companies, thus preventing potential small/new competitors from establishing a foothold.

I don't see your point. Devices are free to support or not support whatever capabilities they want. Having a specific port is no guarantee that the device will use this or that capability offered over that port; mostly it's a guarantee it'll use at least one capability offered by that port.

The problem with USB-C is that many of the cables don't do everything. Nobody else is complaining that the devices don't do everything. Devices have never done everything possible under the communications standards they support.

Would you expect a monitor that supports HDMI2.0, to be a 4K monitor, just because HDMI2.0 supports 4K monitors? I would think not.
