Sobering to think of the true (hardware only) price of that postcard in full view of anyone handling it: $36k ($450 * 81).

But amazing to think how far technology has advanced.
but when the chip fails from heat stress, you only need to replace that. The case, cables, and power supply will all presumably be fine.

I shop at a local Hispanic grocery store, and I'm always surprised how many people will buy soda, sugary breakfast cereals, candy, essentially boxed fast food, and other garbage with their food stamps rather than the great fresh produce, meats, seafood, etc. that's available. It certainly isn't everyone, but it does seem to be the majority anecdotally. I agree that education is a far more important piece of resolving this issue
There are times when the stream of thought is the most important thing in the room. Especially in triage situations.

Brevity allows the process to continue. It avoids upsetting the checklists in people's brains. Grandstanding, soap boxing, and shaggy dog stories are actively harmful to this process. These are primarily the situations where my patience for ineffective communication is at its nadir, and we can't stop this process to have an intervention or let you keep interfering.

Also, by unspoken consensus you will quickly find yourself disinvited from these meetings.

I think there is no reel need for driverless cars. Having technological difficulties aside we should question whether there is really a need for self-driving cars. Life is not that bad without autonomous cars. I don't hear anybody complain about in real life not having driverless cars. Basically a driverless car is same thing having a private chauffeur and I know quite a few people who don't want to use their private chauffeurs lots of time.
Not really. The cars only need to be safe enough to get over the potential fear of users to activate them. This may even be less safe than human drivers, we just don't know until they are deployed. For example, it could turn out that present day autopilot in Tesla cars is less safe than human drivers, but yet people still use it. Humans aren't strictly rational based upon risk when it comes to transportation. If autocars are convenient, and in every day experience work successfully, people will use them (especially those who are young, who have the marginal cost of having to instead learn how to drive, and may just opt-out of learning to drive altogether if they can get through their daily lives by using autonomous vehicles.)

The legal issue you mention seems secondary to the human factors one. If people get addicted to self-driving, and some are dependent upon it, the laws will bend to the culture not the other way around, as they always do. Look at the current regime for an example of this: we gloss over the 30k fatalities that happen regularly due to cars, and hand out licenses to drive these death machines to people who really should have no right to do so given their poor driving skills or physical impediments -- we do so because to deny someone the ability to drive is so averse to culture and freedom that we err on the side of enabling more people to drive despite the fact that it surely increases the risk for everyone on the road.

I've certainly never heard of hotel taxes only being for tourists in NYC. NYC is worse than most with all the taxes and fees they add. The worst was that for a number of years they had some Javits convention center enhancement fee. This was during a period when it wasn't even clear if the project was going ahead--though it eventually did.
Well, this is a justification, but not a moral one.

This one can be employed to justify any arbitrary measure applied by any arbitrary authority at any arbitrary point in time.
The way that is fixed is changing the tax laws so they "pay what they should" - not vaguely pretextual shakedowns to try to score political points. It isn't neccessary.

Legally US companies are doing exactly what they should even if it involves bullshit loopholes like Double Dutch Irish or large licensing fees. If they weren't then there would many within facing charges of tax evasion. The actual solution would involve closing loopholes with things like excluding license fees and business from profit reductions for tax purposes.

If the Nintendo 64 was entirely passively cooled, surely the Pi can be? Mind Nintendo/SGI had much more surface area to work with so this is probably an unfair comparison.
convection cooling needs a decent gap between the fins for it to really work. This is why something like Noctua's passive cooler ( https://www.anandtech.com/show/14486/noctua-shows-off-concep... ) looks totally different from their tower coolers with a fan.

Just slapping a normal CPU heatsink on the pi4 will probably work OK just do the thermal mass and exterior surface area of it, but you're probably not going to get much convection-cooling from it, either.

One of the several reasons for Israel occupying Golan Heights was denying Syria access to Sea of Galilee which is a major supply of freshwater. Because of this, I regard that the first wars over water have already been fought, if not entirely for that reason, but as part of the motivation for actions. We are going to see more in the future for sure.
Magisk (Android rooted-phone modding platform) has a Tethering Enabler module, but it hasn't been updated to recent versions of Magisk (Magisk constantly breaks compatibility with older modules). There was an update not released on their official download channel, and it works for me.
It's not quite as extreme as you say: Fujifilm's X-T3, Sony's A7III and Panaonic's GH5 for example all have two slots and they're definitely not the highest end pro systems, I'd say they're more like mid-range prosumer.

This is speculation but it may have been that back when you bought your $500 camera, a single CF card wasn't been able to hold many photos, so you could insert two cards and start filling the second when the first was full. It could also have been that CF was relatively unreliable.

Today, regular consumers can fit thousands of photos on a single SD card, which from a reputable brand will be pretty reliable (I've never had a Sandisk, Sony or Samsung SD card die on me while shooting). The only people who need extra reliability are professionals who lose a great deal of money in that 1 in 1000 case where an SD card dies.

Ask HN: Has Flash Been Replaced?
Adobe plans to end support for flash in 2020 . Chromium plans to remove it by then. Yet, i am noticing many websites still use flash, because surprisingly it works better than alternatives that were supposed to work better. I have seen it being mixed with webrtc for video and some other uses in various places. It is also odd that 10 years after people declared the end of it there are uses for it where there are no decent alternatives. E.g. I was also looking for a replacement to standard Flash-based website chat room, and there aren't any. So, is flash really ready to be removed from the web?
The Linux kernel has chosen to adopt a memory model and a threading model. This was done even before C++11/C11 defined a memory model, and the two systems are quite similar and can mostly be built on top of one another (READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE is sort of the odd man out, but it works if you assume the semantics of volatile are "do not eliminate or rematerialize this load/store," which is a correct model if you look at compiler implementations).

In practice, the memory model of real hardware systems do a much more thorough job of screwing you up than compiler optimizations, so any practical operating system already needs to build a memory model that can cope with hardware reordering. The only interaction you need with the compiler is a few hooks to stop optimizations, which are quite easy to build in (an empty volatile asm that clobbers memory will prevent reordering of memory operations, for example), and newer language standards actually give you specific mechanisms that give you the building blocks without the need to resort to inline asm tricks.

There's no real need for anything in life other than food and shelter. If driverless cars work and don't cost much, some people will use them and enjoy them and that's enough.
You might have a point if there wasn't any demand, but Tesla is shipping almost 360k vehicles a year (and Gigafactory 3 in China is about to turn up). Someone likes the cars they build.

Very, very few people use their car as you describe (2000 miles in a single sprint). If you must perform such a trip, most will fly or rent a car just for that trip.
Hi @jazoom,

Thanks for your comment... had a couple of clarifications. Our take on the open-source licensing of CockroachDB/MongoDB has no implication on the features of these products. So in essence, you raised two separate points (one about the licensing, the other about the dashboard/features), happy to address both.

> Question about the dashboard

The portion of the dashboard that is not related to the orchestration is going to be open-source. This is a work in progress (it needs engineering work to separate these, and we're almost there). In fact, would love to have you beta test this if you're interested - please join our community slack and holler at me.

Note that we already had the core-DB open source - now we are making previously enterprise-only features open (like encryption at rest/on wire, distributed backups and read replicas). For comparison, CockroachDB (and MongoDB) had enterprise features - which were closed (and remain so). They made changes to the core-DB as well to prevent competition, effectively making it non-open-source (if you go by the definition of open-source).

Note that we're keeping "managed service" portion called YugaByte Platform under a closed license - this is the part that "manages" the cloud experience like creating nodes automatically, configuring security groups, etc. Not sure if these other companies have an equivalent product to this.

>> However, the reality is that CockroachDB is not yet at the levels of adoption where AWS would be interested. So why did Cockroach Labs make the change?

> Because it's too late once they get to that stage. The licence needs to be changed ahead of time. Because companies generally try to plan ahead more than a few months into the future.

> I was following along with you until this point, but now I feel like you're trying to hard to paint these companies in a negative light and not give any benefit of the doubt.

We named changes done by 4 companies (Elastic, Confluent, MongoDB, CockroachDB). Two of these are positive changes (Elastic and Confluent made only enterprise features closed, while the core is still open). MongoDB and CockroachDB closed their core as well with restrictive licenses. So we're simply calling that out.

MongoDB is being offered as a service by Azure CosmosDB and AWS. The licensing change done by MongoDB did not deter Amazon. Similarly, the enterprise features in Elastic were rebuilt by AWS and open-sourced into a fork. So the lesson here is - if a cloud provider wants to, they will build it anyway. Additionally, in the case of CockroachDB and YugaByte DB - AWS has Aurora, which is over a billion dollars in yearly revenue offering the same API as Postgres, so no net new functionality here. The few extra features offered by both these products can easily be replicated by AWS given the above. AWS is in fact more likely to build on Aurora rather than taking any of these services. So in the light of this, the above point of view seems fair.

In other words, most people are not aware how dangerous certain conditions are under which they are occasionally driving (snow, fog, etc.). And that most of the time the only reason they didn't have a crash is luck. It might even be socially unacceptable to refuse driving to work because of fog.
This is good advice, but the question here is who's the outlier. I had the same reaction and I'm pretty sure just about everyone I know would too. Or perhaps the point I'm missing is that everyone should assume that everyone, including themselves, is an outlier.

I wonder if age has anything to do with it. As I've gotten older, not only has the idea of being bored evaporated, but the idea of other people feeling bored is borderline offensive. Life is short, time is precious, there's always a zillion more things that could be done (maybe productive things, or maybe just fun time-wasting things) than there is ever time to do those things. And then someday it's all over. I associate being bored with when I was a little kid, or even when I was in my 20s and it still felt like my whole life was ahead of me. When you've convinced yourself that your whole life is ahead of you, time feels a lot less precious.
whoops, you're right! i mixed up my Qs.

i hope you're also right that they'll make their Q3 promise. but i won't be surprised (or upset) if they push it back.
While not objectively a bad thing, that's at the crux of the problem many have with Go: it sets the bar very, very low for getting in your way instead of trusting you to be even slightly competent. Knowing basic data structures is engineering 101,and any engineer who'd (eg) blindly use std::find on a vector or "in" on a list in performance-critical code without understanding it isn't someone who should be committing code without review in any case. Inefficient data structure operations are also precisely the kind of thing that's easy to catch in code review.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a general-purpose argument and I'm not one of those people who thinks that the language should completely get out of your way: eg I'm not a Rust user but its unergonomic handling of memory safety seems far preferable to the ease with which you can shoot yourself in the foot with C++. I definitely see the appeal of Go's handholding in a directional sense. But the degree to which it takes it makes it feel like an unserious or educational language, unnecessarily difficult to get actual work done in, like Javascript but for the exact opposite reasons (and to be clear, Javascript is INFINITELY worse).

This makes it sound like Im more negative on Go than I am, but I think it's the first time I've been able to articulate what deflated my initial interest in it and kept me away from it. Perhaps if feel differently if I had still been a student and new to programming when Golang was released.
I think that's a misinterpretation of the quote, Gates didn't say "More than 64kb of Ram may never be possible" he simply argued against its practicality at the time.

not so much - we know that e.g. refined carbs trigger metabolic reactions differently than e.g. pure fats. the gall bladder isn't really used when carbs are ingested, but is when fats are, so there are clearly metabolic consequences.

so while pedantically might be true, the mechanism of the calories does matter a lot.

Just came back recently from vacation in Italy, and was very sad to walk into an American supermarket again.

My gut reaction was "where is the food?" Just row after row of stuff in boxes, with a few fresh fruits and vegetables in one row and a small deli counter, and even there the meats and cheeses are far more processed and industrial scale.

In Italy there were multiple sections of meats and cheeses, fresh breads clearly delivered that morning, in season fruits and vegetables. (I noticed all of the vendors had lots of cherries and apricots, displayed far more prominently and in greater quantities than anything else. Of course it was because they were in season, so that was what all the Italians wanted to buy.)

Even a tiny little corner market had a section for fresh bread, and chunks of really good quality cheese for about €1.

I don't know if it's cultural difference or quality of Italian soil and climate or something else, but seemed like it was cheaper and more convenient to eat real food there than processed and packaged junk.
It's silly to shun emissions credits that are desperately needed to electrify transportation considering the trillions of dollars of subsides petroleum has received and the severity of climate change.

It's disingenuous to claim that subsidies for petroleum are remotely the same thing as subsidies for EVs. You're comparing corn to apples here. The proper comparison would be subsidies for renewable energy like solar and wind to subsidies for petroleum, since in both cases the subsidies are indirect to the market that's were talking about: automobiles.

It's also disingenuous to claim that subsidies stretching out over a century, and partially rooted in global geopolitical politics, are the same thing as subsidies that have been around for about a decade.

Finally, it's disingenuous to cite the "trillions" of subsidies worldwide for petroleum while leaving out the hundreds of billions of subdisidies that green power like solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, and nuclear have received worldwide.

Tesla has already sold more Model 3s in a quarter than Chevy has sold Bolts ever....So why is Tesla the one selling hundreds of thousands of EVs per year and no one else is?

The Chevy Bolt is supply-constrained; total global production is 30,000 vehicles a year. There are currently waitlists at every dealership selling a Bolt. Competing EVs like the iPace are similarly supply-constrained and also have months-long waiting lists. Unlike Tesla, other automakers launch models slowly and scale up production as demand proves itself and production hiccups reveal themselves and are addressed. Last I checked, there's no months-long waiting period to get a Chevy Bolt fixed because (a) they don't need fixing straight out of the factory like so many Teslas do and (b) the supply of repair parts is readily accessible due to Chevy's mastery of basic automobile logistics...

My GP is leaving medicine. She doesnt make that much and the hospital is dictating her hours like a fast food employee. GPs make in the mid 100K range. I have several relatives that are physicians and they still work long hours, maybe 60+ hours a week, are on call some holidays, weekends, nights etc. They do love their work.

I went to an MD PHD program for 5 years before dropping out (for the dot com boom). My dream was to develop systems that would create custom cures for infectious diseases. Take a sample of the virus/bacteria, drop it into the machine, and custom antibodies are created for the particular strain. I realized that medicine changes so slowly and you are essentially a mechanic for the human body. As a physician you have a specialty and will likely be doing the exact same thing for the rest of your life.

As a physician you are servicing people as a developer you are building things. Tech is rapidly changing and for me is way more fun. You can reinvent yourself to a totally different technology or field every 5 years. You can start a company in just about any field with a development background to make much more than a physician can make.

I started my own consulting practice and overall I believe was a much easier and interesting path than medicine would have been.

I still do all the programming but to the outside world I appear as an old wise greybeard who outsources that stuff. Ageism solved.

If you have a decent network and are comfortable doing sales you'll make 5x the money of a good programmer and get to design systems your way without any politics.

Good luck.

It's only speculation he didn't know who he was helping (and the source of that is Pinker himself). I find it hard to believe that Pinker had no idea who this was for despite Epstein's reputation, the original press coverage of the case, the fact that Dershowitz was involved (and, unlike Pinker, actually fingered by at least one of the women as a rapist).

Pinker is a great mind. I don't think his guileless version of events is a truthful account. What's most likely: This whole thing was embarrassing for his good friend Alan Dershowitz and his Alma, and if Epstein was found guilty of a lesser charge things wouldn't look so bad. He underestimated the ensuing backlash and claims he was just tossing out free legal advice for a friend.

He certainly knew after the fact that a sweetheart deal was struck with Epstein in part due to his legal input. Regardless, he allowed himself photographed with him and made no attempt to speak-out about the fact that he had no idea he was helping Epstein and in fact when on to tweet about his contributions Dershowitz in 2015.

Again, just bad judgement on the part of Pinker. He's not a monster, "bad guy" or anything, it's just frustrating he's defending elite power.
