Peter Thiel's not in Silicon Valley anymore. He moved to LA, ostensibly because every dollar he invests in SF startups goes to landlords, but more likely because a large number of entrepreneurs and SV power players refused to work with him because of his Trump support.

Whether this ends up being a shrewd move or a strategic blunder remains to be seen. I also thought that it was pretty smart in a realpolitik sense when he did it, but now I'm wondering if he's won the battle but lost the war. There's a lot of tacit power in the heads of various SV engineers, entrepreneurs, and executives, most of which is currently devoted toward making people click on ads, but which could be a force to be reckoned with if their ability to stay in SV and continue getting people to click on ads were ever directly threatened.

HN is for people, stories, and conversations that are animated by curiosity. Political battle is the opposite. It is destructive of the subtler and lighter things HN exists for. What happens to a garden when tanks roll in? A garden cannot be a battlefield.

This resonates but can also be viewed as testament to the rapid deterioration of American society on all fronts but most importantly in ethics and values.

One great movie that brilliantly captures the American pioneering spirit is “The Right Stuff” [1]. It is old movies like it that can quickly illustrate the magnitude of American decline. Compare and contrast the values projected back then with today’s relentless materialism, cults of personality, money/status worship and
a tendency to radically deconstruct everything towards a uniform egalitarian race to nothingness.

The economy is inseparable from the climate issue. The way humanity conducts itself economically greatly determines the scale of emissions we produce through energy use, agriculture, concrete production, land use, etc. There is no way to maintain indefinite growth to sustain such an economy on a finite planet. We overproduce and inefficiently distribute or waste goods. All of that energy consumes fossil fuels. There's no way to address the climate issue adequately without also addressing economic incentives, short of us stumbling on some magical technology that allows massive net negative carbon capture from the atmosphere. Nothing like that exists, and we're far past the point where planting trees will make that math work out. Just asking everyone nicely to please consume less, or pleading with the fossil fuel industry to please stop pumping disinformation out in order to continue reaping profit, is not going to cut it. This economic engine still runs on oil and we need a new one very quickly. The excess that flows as wealth mainly and increasingly to those who already have far too much is brought about by cheap energy, labor, and automation. That party is about to end, both due to increasing cost of fossil fuel extraction and the climate turning hostile.

Modular Web Frameworks
I've been using Rails and other monolithic frameworks for webapp development but the more I work with them, the more I realize that this is not the future.

What are your thoughts on modular frameworks and web development?

Are there any promising approaches or frameworks on the horizon?
If the Fed does something I don't like, and I write to my representatives about it, what can they do? It's pretty independent. Even the board members can be removed only by the President and only "for cause". It's not funded by Congressional appropriations.

In addition, though the Congress sets the goals for monetary policy, decisions of the Board--and the Fed's monetary policy-setting body, the Federal Open Market Committee--about how to reach those goals do not require approval by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government. https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/about_14986.htm

> but in analogies, a:b::c::___ (a is to b as c is to what), having d be the same as b is not allowed

Particular tests may adopt such a rule, but this doesn't apply to analogies in general. Particularly, consider the case where Alice and Carol and both daughters of Bob: Alice:Bob::Carol:Bob is a perfectly valid analogy; a:b::c:b is commonly phrased along the lines of “a and c are similarly situated with respect to b”.

I'm waiting for him to pivot to Tesla soon going bankrupt. This is a sad script I've seen play out over and over again. Just about every single time, it is just FUD.

Tesla has plenty of problems, but bricking thousands of cars on OTA update isn't one of them. I've had my Model 3 since Dec 2018 and have done plenty of updates. One of them did brick my car, but it turned out to be a fault in the 12V battery. They had it fixed in no time directly in my garage. I was blown away by their service although it did take them several weeks to get the seatbelt tensioners when someone hit me head on. They've supposedly fixed that since, but I dunno.

These are not unlike growing pains in a service that is in hyper growth mode. You'll find problems like this, address them, and continue on.

One more thing: Haiku application bundles?
Yes. I have been lucky enough to attend two Theravada retreats in Thailand. However, the practice of daily meditation and adherence to the 5 precepts (not taking life, not stealing, not engaging in false speech, not engaging in sexual misconduct, not taking intoxicants) plus practicing loving-kindness to all beings is far more life-changing than attending a retreat every once in a while.

Daily meditation especially vipassana and loving-kindness can truly change your life, bring inner peace and can truly in your personal and business relations.

As an entrepreneur, one side-effect of meditation is that it made me really examine what my definition of "success" and "happiness" is. In so doing meditation has taken away much of my ego and the desire to achieve revenue growth or market share goals. I simply don't care about that anymore and now I just want to operate a business that makes great products that people love while that producing enough revenue to support my team. For myself, building and maintaining an awesome and supportive work environment where individuals and life-work balance are valued are my top priorities. Happy lives and families are key. The gain of status and material objects are just transitory with no significance.
Dremio is quite cool and still something I am watching develop closely. Their involvement with the open source ecosystem is quite nice. Apache Drill, Arrow, Parquet and Gandiva are all super important contributions that the team behind Dremio has been involved in AFAIK.
Wait, I either misread his comment, or it was changed after I replied - I was replying with the assumption that he said "modding is already illegal".

I'm not sure how much a billionaire would care about a significant loss on a $56mm investment either, but it's worth pointing out that pretty close to 2% of his net worth would be in Facebook even if all he did with his money was park it in s&p 500 index funds. it's hard to have a diversified portfolio without owning at least some of one of the most valuable companies in the world.

all things being equal, I'm sure he would care at least a little about a seven or eight figure loss, but I'm not sure it would be worth the opportunity cost of neglecting his other investments.

But you having children is not essential. It's a given that the masses are plowing ahead with their insistence on having several children regardless, so a shortage of future generations, scientists, activists, etc. will not be the problem--at least not until the climate becomes the limiting factor!

> A random distribution is not biased. It really is not a "trick".

A random sample is not a product of a biased sampling method, but it can be (and almost always is) biased, it's just if you take enough such samples, the biases will tend to offset, which is why we say the sampling method isn't biased.
According to the article one of the four things you are tricked into doing is paying for the service ...(along with answering posts on the forum, in-app surveys, and generally speaking good about the app in public)
One way to think about it: your current employer may have demand for people who can fill certain roles, in order for the business / organisation to work, at this point in time.

From the perspective of designing how the business or organisation structures work, it may be the case that many of the individual roles are structured so that the organisation as a whole will succeed provided each person in each role performs the role to at least a mediocre level of ability. If someone does a really high quality or high efficiency job at their role, it may have a negligible impact on the organisation as a whole, as how well that role is performed is not a bottleneck.

What does this mean?

There's probably a bunch of different roles you could fill with your skills and ability, but any given organisation may have no demand for those roles.

For many roles, there's a limit to how much the org is willing to spend on someone to do it, if someone doing the role really well doesn't have a large impact on the org.

In many orgs it may be difficult for you to argue that you could bring a lot of value by doing different role Y that you are really good at, when there is no demand or no perceived demand for Y and you are currently doing role X which they need filled to at least a mediocre level of ability. Or it might be possible that someone in management can be shown the value of what a Y role might bring, but there might not be enough ongoing Y work, so it might make more sense for the org to hire a temporary Y consultant instead of promoting/switching you into the Y role.

The world is large, there are many opportunities with different organisations. Interview and create alternative options for yourself outside the system of the current org where you are employed.

Isn't this why service-level agreements exist? If the nines of uptime are that important to your business and you don't want to be a gnat on a windshield, you've got to give the vendor some financial incentive to pay attention to you, right?

Or is Rachel talking about a situation where you have an SLA in place, but you can't even prove downtime to the vendor because their monitoring software is inadequate?

You can hit the (i) after you make the problematic search.
> Fed is managed by and subject to the government

I guess that depends on how you define managing. I mean, the Fed couldn't do exactly whatever they wanted, the government would step in if it got too crazy.

But on the other hand, separating the government from the central bank is a fundamental idea in the whole central banking argument.

If it indeed was completely managed by and subjected to the full political influence of the government the US would probably have higher denomination bills [0].

Yes, it's common especially in places where it goes un-checked. One idea that can work to start to change this behavior is to verbalize when someone else is cut off. "Bob, it sounded like you were had something to add." If you start helping others get a word in some folks will start to get the message. Another, more direct approach, is feedback to those that keep cutting folks off. Finally, you can push for "retro" type meetings where you bring up this kind of thing. If you are feeling this way fore sure others are and you will start to see retention issues and a company filled with a mono culture of folks. The keyword to look into is "psychological safety" and how to foster that.

A recent order though had two things of eye liner in it aaaaand... of course they ended up in their own very oversized box. (I did go back and make sure that part was also fulfilled by Amazon. My guess is that someone just thought it would be funny to ship a package that is 99.5% empty :D)

I'm not aware of any major mapping platform which does multimodal journeys very well yet, whoever figures it out first will probably see me switch to their app immediately.

Bonus points if they build in cost optimization, ie, "take the train 80% of the way there and then Uber for the last leg, optionally saving you 20 mins for an extra $8, or bring a bike to save 10 mins for no extra cost". I'm reading that Citymapper might do this in London, but I've not seen it in their NYC version unless I'm just being dense?

Both. However, here we are talking about pet animals and not service animals.

Under Title III of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and virtually all state laws, a service animal is an animal that has been trained to perform work or tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability

and

In both the ADA and Section 504, a person with a disability is someone who has a physical or mental impairment that seriously limits one or more major life activities, or who is regarded as having such impairments. Asthma and allergies are usually considered disabilities under the ADA

I wasn't aware of that, but given the transaction capabilities, it makes sense. I primarily use InnoDB and have never had any similar performance issues, so I havn't looked into it heavily...

MySQL InnoDB tables handle the use case much much better, so just guessing but it's probably a difference in how the indexes handle updates/multiple versions and how the query planner works for dirty indexes.
JEP 357: Migrate from Mercurial to Git
Fortunately, a nuclear reactor isn't radioactive until the reactor is turned on. Enriched uranium on its own is hardly radioactive at all (U235 t1/2=~700Myears); depleted uranium has meaningful safe non-nuclear applications[0]. There are orders of magnitude more radioactivity in the RTGs already used on deep space missions. Those are very carefully protected, but the risks are deemed acceptable. So long as you don't turn your reactor on until you're well away from earth, I see very limited risk of exposure to the public, far less than from a RTG.

Anecdotally, this seems fairly common but perhaps not to the same intensity that you've alluded.

The way I helped curb this at my workplace, which may or may not be applicable to you, was by always back-tracking to the person who was cut off.

X starts saying something, Y cuts them off. As soon as Y is done speaking, I ask X: "Sorry X, what were you saying?" while ignoring Y. This non-confrontational approach seemed to work, at least in my workplace. Y quickly began to realize that they were cutting off X and that the table was interested in what X had to say.

Unfortunately this requires two people. If you are the one being cut off, without someone else to step in, this is a hard problem to deal with.
