Quartzy (YC S11) Is Hiring a Product Leader in Hayward, CA
its about momentum though too. your point in time experience is quite different than the trajectory/velocity of the product, and its rate of change.
> The problem is that it cuts off the ability to hire the top of the market.

To be frank, I don't think the gap in skill between the top-top-top tier employees and those who are competitive candidates for non-SF salary remote positions is all that wide, nor do I think it's necessary for a company's success to only hire the absolute pinnacle of talent. We're also not competing in the same consumer market as many SV startups, so if a different remote company has a higher saturation of top-tier developers, I'm not sure why that affects us unless they're a competitor.

I do see this point though, and I'm sure Sid does as well, but the level of skill that the people I work with have vs the employees at my previous (local) company is incomparable. Everyone is very good at what they do, and are motivated to continue working here because of all of the other perks of working for a company like GitLab.
Sort of. Gateway looks like an example of how could we try to get to the Moon, but to do that not in a single Apollo-sized project, but splitting the task in easier chunks - and yes, incurring some overhead, but also opening up new opportunities.

See, for Gateway we have much better TRL (technology readiness level) than for, say, short trips to the Moon surface, not to say about longer term Moon-surface activities like maintaining a base there. For Gateway we need technologies which are similar to ISS, with main changes being:

1) the modules need to be transported to Moon vicinity. That means that in practice, for example, each module needs to be pushed there - so the module should include its own booster (I think it's not very good, as that spent booster won't be used afterwards) or each module should be mated to a booster temporarily. Then modules should be assembled in Moon vicinity similarly to how they are assembled into ISS.

2) we have worse radioactive environment for Gateway than we have for ISS. That means all habitat modules have to additionally include means of protection - be that extra layer of passive material, or active external plasma generators which would reduce radiation by getting it through a weak layer of particles around the module, or something else. A new and a challenging problem, for sure, but with certain payouts in the future if we will ever want to venture from Earth.

There are other differences, like navigation, space debris environment, communications, ways of getting there-and-back etc. but that all seem to be much more attainable than direct Moon missions. And after having Gateway in such a shape, subsequent Moon missions can obviously employ those existing capabilities - i.e. missions would start from Gateway, which is much closer to the Moon, not from Earth, as the path to Gateway would be already well developed.

And we have better hopes of actually having that built before critical changes will happen - so we'll have taken at least some steps forward.
I always chuckle when threads about shopping delivery come up on HN. It's part of the holy trinity of delivery, instant bank transfers, and the metric system, where Americans line up to explain why none of those things could ever actually work, despite the fact that they are working perfectly well in much of the rest of the world. There's something almost Onionesque about it [1].

I think you must have an atypical experience of US business or first.

Towels, socks, free alcohol are all basics on US carriers that you always get in business or first.

Free alcohol is available even in economy on every US carrier I’ve been on.
It spreads the responsibility for some change in state across a number of files, and generally feels really incoherent. That's what I don't like about it anyway.

Not OP, but being literate has a very tangential relationship to literature, so I think you might have just misunderstood what he meant by that word.
Oh, do you mean how can Azure scale to AGI? I have no opinion on Azure, I just meant someone smart will figure it out. There are huge financial incentives to do so, when that happens, we (humans) figure shit out.
I had spent several years wanting to learn Emacs without actually making much progress. I only really learned Emacs when I had to use a programming language for which Emacs had the best IDE-like experience (Erlang). I think for many niche languages, it's a lot easier (or at least a lot more common) for the developers to offer an Emacs mode than to try and leverage one of the existing large IDEs like Intellij Or Visual Studio. I think it's because, for many projects, a few simple code-aware editing features (syntax highlighting, go-to definition, etc.) and decent command line build tools are enough to suffice[1].

Now that I develop in Java, I definitely use Intellij, but with Emacs bindings. I then use Emacs for note taking, writing shell scripts, etc. I find that this provides me with the best of both worlds in terms of IDE features plus pure text-based productivity (which is where Emacs shines).

[1] Visual Studio Code seems like it's taking over the role of "good enough" editor for languages that don't have full-featured IDEs - a place that's previously been dominated by Emacs and Vim. I like VSC well enough, but I don't think it's Emacs bindings are good enough...yet.
Nothing other than anecdata. My audience has reacted positively to StoryScrolls. I've made a some app sales. People have asked me to share the app with them.

Reminds me of another business in the delivery space: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozmo.com

Interesting how some of the business models that were not profitable in the early 2000's are resurrected with the on-demand workforce - cutting out the most expensive part.
Very glad I took your recommendation from your previous article on the Evo cards for my new RPi4s! kudos and thank you sir!
It's gotten to the point where I almost always use a card to pay for things, but I also have some cash with me most of the time (on the order of $50, including $5s and $1s) just for occasions like this.
> I actually like that there's basically only "one way" to use it.

I think that depends on how you're scoping 'redux'. There's certainly a world of difference between saga, thunk, and observable.
What exactly are you arguing here?
I certainly wouldn't have that threshold decided by a for profit company disguised as an open source initiative to protect the world! Brought to us by Silicon Valley darlings, no thank you to that. They need to change their name or their mission. One has to go.
And this is how one rationally debates a potentially inflammatory topic without deplatforming anyone.

I also went with OneDrive--mostly because I hadn't realized how substantially superior OneDrive has become compared to Dropbox on Windows (particularly with selective sync).
Is there an actual scenario for this? People either picks Angular/React/Vue and live within their respective ecosystem, why would they accommodate themselves with a solution that compatible to all of those but not as good as other state management store that tailored for one of them?

I kinda missed the big picture here.
I see your point, but this would make more sense for comparison of highway construction or other projects that require lot of people with average salary and common resources. High tech is, I believe, very competitive and you do not manh need 'common' people working on it. Also technologies used are not common and cannot easily take advantage of scale of indian economy.
In 1939, Enrico Fermi expressed 90% confidence [0] that creating a self-sustaining nuclear reaction with Uranium was impossible. And, if you're working with U238, it basically is! But it turns out that it's possible to separate out U235 in sufficient quantities to use that instead.

On the 2nd of December, 1942 he led an experiment at Chicago Pile 1 [1] that initiated the first self-sustaining nuclear reaction. And it was made with Uranium.

In fairness to Fermi, nuclear fission was discovered in 1938 [2] and published in early 1939.

> The difference is in the scale of the intelligence, not just the technology.

AGI is inherently no greater in scale than human intelligene, so scale is not a difference with AGI, though it might be with AGsuperI. But that's a different issue than mere AGI, and may be impossible or impractical even if AGI is doable; we have examples of human-level intelligence so we know it is physically acheivable in our universe, we don't have such examples for arbitrarily capable superhuman intelligence.

The fact that it only works with Angular, React, or Vue is a little discouraging (or at least, that's the impression I get by the `frameworkValue` config). Was initially excited to check out a new general-purpose state management solution.
Yes. It helps to live somewhere with decent healthcare too.
I had exactly the same experience with Vim. Now I just use Vim-style input plugins with any IDE that ideally suits the language and platform I'm working with (and lately more and more it's just VS Code), and get the best of both worlds.
Could someone please explain to me why a publicly traded company can’t write an actual, native Mac (or Windows/Linux) client instead of force feeding the lowest common denominator approach of React “native?” Imagine the performance and UI improvements of Slack could write a Swift app using standard Mac/iOS conventions. React “native” can be a treat approach for resource constrained organizations, but there is little excuse for a big tech company to shortcut using pseudo-native cross-platform approaches. For what Slack is, it’s still terrible when it comes to efficiency and stability. It’s lazy.
Well, sort of - it was a really good start, but given that was his incentive structure he should have been slowly and steadily building a sustainable business and instead he went and blew what could have been the opportunity of a lifetime by not being able to say no to bad strategy pressure from overly-aggressive VCs. Good negotiator. Bad CEO.

You could also say that it was really good negotiation by the other side; if you're a board member of a startup during the bubble and all you get to control is CEO pay, then you did everything you could to incentivise him to behave sensibly, and the rest unfortunately was on him.

Agreed. I almost always dial into any large scale events at my company - regardless if it concerns me directly - to listen how ppl critically evaluate data, triage errors, and determine how to mitigate the problem(s).

Whatever skill level I have in this area, I cannot nail down if it's from multiple "baptism by fire" situations, learned naturally via university courses in the scientific field, strategy video games (half joking), or other sources I cannot think of.

I've listened to some very impressive people handle serious crisis situations and I'm both in awe and curious how they achieved that level of deductive reasoning.
your opinion is bananas
The top of book liquidity on most equity stocks is light enough that a single retail investor can absolutely submit orders which must hit multiple exchanges, especially if they do so at non-peak hours. The NBBO doesn't help you if every market maker retreats before your broker can hit the next exchange.

There was a post on Reddit just a month ago where a small investment club did just that. https://imgur.com/gallery/qMBAzoQ

My startup seriously evaluated Metabase, but inevitably you'll want joins, and Metabase is fundamentally opposed to the idea: https://metabase.com/blog/Joins/ ... and if you're writing SQL for your views, you might as well be writing SQL.

We ended up shelling out for Tableau - it's pricey at $840/yr, but it supports joins out of the box (it even has a drag-and-drop interface to set up joins!), has practically every bell and whistle you could ask for, and allows you to do "exploratory analysis over screenshare in realtime with non-technical colleagues, without context switching to a coding mindset or needing to look up field names you may never have used before." I think it's intuitive and worth every penny, but YMMV. Would recommend everyone try the public version to get a feel for it.

EDIT: as others have said, Ananas is actually ETL + BI, whereas Metabase and Tableau are BI on top of a database. Tableau can stand in for good ETL due to its join support in certain scenarios. It's better than Metabase, but not necessarily comparable to Ananas.

Besides acceleration at the moon side, wouldn't there need to be deceleration before entering the atmosphere? I'm thinking an IPBM traveling that fast would rip apart in the upper atmosphere and/or explode too high to cause any real damage.
This isn’t everyone or even a majority, but it’s quite a few.

In other words: not only is there no hard data behind this view; there isn't any (from a gut perspective) that much of a correlation -- but it's a strong opinion, strongly held nonetheless.
Given the exponential nature of Tsiolkovsky's rocket equation, I don't understand why its not common to perform multiple launches from the ground to LEO, and then rendezvous in orbit and go to the moon, or mars, or whereever.

If I'm understanding the mechanics properly (informed mostly by kerbal space program!) the biggest "expense" in traveling most places is getting into LEO. And every doubling of payload requires more than doubling of fuel. All of which requires significantly larger and more complex rockets.

Either I'm misunderstanding the true costs of launches (I know the fuel itself is relatively cheap) or I'm underestimating the complexity of linking two spacecraft in a robust and rigid connection while in orbit.
Back in that time everyone placed an over importance on being first and then locking up the market quickly. Sometimes like maybe Uber that's important.

Interesting!

I've been thinking about a fully declarative language (logic-based like datalog/prolog or functional) with an orthogonal optimization layer. This seems to go in that direction, but still based on an imperative base and focused on parallelism. Are there other languages doing this logic/optimization split?
Summary:

Retail generates uncorrelated order flows, perfect for the market maker.

Institutional generates highly correlated order flows, the nightmare of the market maker.

As paradoxical as it may sound this can actually result in price improvement for the retail trader.

This is one of those rare places in finance where being small is an advantage. Another is in finding value opportunities - the smaller you are the larger the pool of potential opportunities. Warren Buffett needs big and good opportunities. Retail investor needs just good opportunities. The word "big" restricts choices.

> Oh, do you mean how can Azure scale to AGI?

No, not in the slightest. I mean as we progress the dev cycles get harder and slower. Then we need more engineers and the administration of more engineers working together makes everything harder.

Have you ever considered that making a rock think might be one of the greatest engineering projects our species has ever taken on? Sure humans might figure it out but I'm of the belief it will take them a very long time to. In addition, I believe that in that timescale a different tech stack might show more promise. I'm not convinced this technological branch scales all the way to AGI.

The market for delivery has evolved comparable complexity to mobile phone contracts, sadly:

https://www.lovefood.com/guides/3444/cheapest-supermarket-on...

So, you can use Waitrose, where delivery is free, but there's a £60 minimum order, and their prices are generally higher than the other supermarkets (Waitrose is the UK's high-end supermarket for moderately posh people [1]). Or you can use solidly middle-class Sainsbury's, where there's a £25 minimum order, delivery costs £1 - £7 depending on the time and day, but it's free for orders over £100. Or something else. Or sign up to a subscription plan which will work out cheaper if you get a lot of deliveries, etc.

If they are legally married then how is it fraud? The entire idea of marriage fraud is bogus — it's just another invention used to justify state violence against a disfavored group. Marriages exist in all shapes and forms, many more than the state can think of.

For example USCIS apparently puts some people through interviews where they ask for intimate personal details of the spouse, like what side of the bed they sleep on or the color of the toothbrush they use. This implies a particular definition of marriage — one where you sleep on the same bed and use the same bathroom. Yet I know plenty of happily married folks who have generally separate lives, including having separate intimate relationships. That doesn't make their marriages any less valid!
