> A Tesla Model 3 can already charge at 250 kW

Can it really? I saw something more like 130 kW when it started charging, because it was pretty low. It tapered off steadily. Still only took about 45 minutes overall, but I doubt the hardware could actually sustain 1000 miles/hour charging levels for more than a few minutes.

> Founders have a right to know where the money they are taking comes from, and they need to know how that source might influence the advice given them by their investors.

That's correct. However, a provocative question: does every YC company know where YC's funds come from? My purely anecdotal evidence is that at least half, possibly 2/3rds of them, don't. If that's the case, it might be useful for YC to disclose that to everybody.
Goldwater, Buckley... yeah, you can trace a lot of the our modern dynamics quite far. These people brought intellectual gravitas to mainstream conservative politics, giving it a voice and modus operandi.
I thought NYT at least had switched to “the content loading beyond the teaser is implemented in JS, so no JS => no article”.
What a cheap shot. I didn't "feel the need". I'm doing what we always do, which is try to set the articles here up for the fairest, most thoughtful hearing the community can give them, and minimizing the low-quality rage and noise that everything can easily slip into.

If people feel like that word in the title is essential to its content, I have zero problem with that. What we have a problem with is threads that fly off into ragey and shallow disputes about titles. Such discussion requires zero thought and zero effort—only reactivity. All people do when they argue like that—on whatever side of whatever issue—is angrily repeat things that have been angrily repeated before. That's not what HN is for. When we see signs of it happening, we've learned that the easiest thing to do is just change the title to reflect the actual content of the article. Unfortunately in this case the attempted cure produced more of the disease. That happens sometimes. In that case we change it back and plead with people to talk about the article instead.

Please talk about the article instead now.

Except everyone is missing the point that you can't find it in a search engine. Has anyone RTFA? That's the entire point of the article. Using a website's local search ability is irrelevant to people that have never heard of the website to visit. The search engine is where people go to find something they don't know where to go for the information they seek. Hell, parental units still go to google first (as in browser default for new window/tab) and type in facebook.com in the search field rather than directly into the browser's location field.

Also, the main page has 2 search boxes if we want to get pedantic about it. Why? I'm assuming as a dev type mindset that they will do the same thing as one is always there while the landing page disappears with use.
It's been entertaining to read the discussions (below) about how to make this practical. So far, it looks like the only way to make this work is to a) live in a city, or rebuild your suburbia into a city, and b) construct your entire life around riding that bike - choose a job with a tolerant boss, spend extra hours every day showering and changing clothes after biking, etc.

I'd rather drive an air-conditioned car, sit in traffic for that hour or two, and enjoy my private backyard (however small it may be).

I was thinking more of the people who already live there and are computer savvy and have an internet connection can be utilized.

FWIW, I'd love to get a decent sized property with internet, away from the city and traffic and pollution, and be able to work full time remotely.
Looks like the article went out of their way to reference France24 and Nikkei Asian Review as the source to the source to the information but didn't link to what that source is.
I don't disagree with the company -- I don't even know what that means. I think that no entity should have that much unchecked power and influence over society. Information, and the control of access to information, is power. In many ways it's one of the most important resources in existence. Google is in such a unique situation, much like 'ma Bell was back when it was broken up into the baby bells. As such, it will require unique regulatory action; though probably I would deal with through blanket legislation rather than a limited and targeted regulatory approach. As such, all indexes would be subject to the same rules.

It's not a novel idea that corporations must serve the public good. We have long past decided that this is something government facilitates. See, public utilities, common carrier status for telecoms, and hundreds of other industries.

We won't agree. Like I said, this is an ideological position.
On July 15, 2017, ~36 million posts were made on Tumblr [1]. A year later, July 14, 2018 [4], about ~31 million posts were made [2]. July 13, 2019 saw only ~21 million [3].

The Wayback Machine doesn't have fine-grained enough details to get a good estimate of how much the loss of adult content itself was responsible, but this does reinforce the impression given from the Google Trends link cited several times that there has been a steady decline in Tumblr punctuated with a massive hit on or around the removal of adult content.

I saw that "documentary" as well, as I recall most of it was speculation unsupported by any third party sources.

Also, the Wikipedia article doesn't say what you claim it says. It in fact states that the overloaded plabe was a test flight attempted to determine how much weight the plane could hold, and that neither Earhart or Noonan were able to use Morse code but could otherwise operate their radios.
Sometimes there are no traces left behind. In 1947, Avro Lancastrian airliner flew into a mountain in the Andes and triggered an avalanche that buried the wreck. Compressed snow slowly turned into ice and became a part of the glacier. Over the next 50 years, the wreck moved down the mountain with ice until it eventually melted and revealed parts of the aircraft. They were found by two mountaineers in 1998.

If an aircraft goes missing, we're usually dealing with mountains, oceans or remote areas with dense tree covers. Remote sensing is very limited in these environments.
Mihaly Csikszmentmihalyi is Hungarian, not Czech. And the "flow experience is analogous to meditating" statement is very questionable - I'd say it's [a good] kind of opposite: meditation is meant to be a 100% conscious experience, people rarely maintain mindfulness in the flow mode.

They can't prevent it but they can help it become visible. Without reproducible builds, nobody has an easy way to verify that a specific binary corresponds to a specific deemed safe bit of source code. There can still be source code based attacks by upstream maintainers of course. In fact most attacks in the past were in source based languages like JavaScript but without reproducible builds the situation would be much worse.
That's crazy (and true).

I did not miss that. The client runs the TLS connection end-to-end (to the device) over the CONNECT. That connection will be secure relative to the proxy.

That there's no TCP/HTTP doesn't alter any of this. You can use UDP and DTLS this way, except you'll have to create the proxy protocol, and you'll need the proxy to maintain some "connection" state, and you'll need to expose inner connection close to the proxy so it can cleanup that "connection state".
That trial wasn't a "statistically spurious event", it was a flawed trial

> the reason the first trial came to an exaggerated impression seemed to be the number of patients who might not have fully progressed to SPMS

Stopping early can lead to statistical fraud, which is why the bar is so high on doing so. But it has to be balanced with the recognition that, if the interim results are correct, continuing the trial will lead to a significant number of avoidable deaths.

And for what it's worth, given the believed cause of the flawed trial being cited, it sure sounds like if the trial had run to its conclusion it still would have produced flawed results.
The future needs to be distributed. Less Tumblr/Facebook/Twitter and more ActivityPub/Mastodon/Pleroma/Pixefed .. when people get use to federated networks, they'll understand how they work. They'll understand how it's like hosting your own game server, and everyone can do it, and you can ban servers you don't like without having those servers really go away to anyone but you.

The future is not centralized. The future is distributed.
This is hardly new. Back in 2001 I almost ended up working for an Italian company, based in Florence, which successfully implemented a different routing for public buses in Rimini (another Italian city) using linear programming and genetic algorithms.

The field has been explored, and a number of solutions have existed for at least ~25 years.

What's impressive in this article, instead, is the amount of savings; $5M is not small change.
I have a bunch of odd questions.

For example, "Our servers run on 100% renewable energy, and every search request removes 1kg of CO2 from the atmosphere."

As far as I can tell it's on AWS and Cloudflare/Ghost hosted blog. It acts and feels like a Bing proxy with Bing ads with really nothing else, but they say they have 34 full time salaried employees? I'm super confused.
>How is a Monad anything different than a particular kind of object wrapper?

It _is_ a particular type of wrapper object. That's where the whole "in the category of endofunctors" comes in. An endofunctor being a functor from something to itself.

You have IEnumberable<SomeObject> and that lets you do SelectMany to flatmap some internal nested set of objects down to IEnumerable<SomeOtherObject>.

The shape of what you get back doesn't change. You get back an IEnumerable of something. That has a specific contract on which you can do specific operations regardless of the object it is wrapping.

The other piece of the puzzle is that it is monoidal. A monoid is just a collection of objects + a way of combining them + a 'no-op'. This is usually worded something like "a set of objects with an associative binary operator and an identity".

The classic definition "a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors" is worth picking apart piece by piece. But it's also utterly useless because you have to spend quite awhile picking it apart and then looking at concretions of every one of the individual abstractions to understand what the hell each part individually looks like and then put it back together in your mind.

That definition is classically used as a joke because it's so terse you have no hope of understanding it without a lot of study, yet at the same time it's so precise it's all the information you need!
IMHO there can be no direct evidence, only speculation.

My thought is that it's easier to make sounds in a rhythm (on/off) than it is to control the pitch of those sounds (relative to previous sound).

Also thousands, I think, is probably an underestimate by a couple orders of magnitude.
NixOS (and NixPkgs) is great, but there are still plenty of binary only packages from difficult to build projects like PhantomJS in the ecosystem. It takes a serious commitment to build complex projects in Nix and maintain them.

Lexapro preserved my personality shockingly well. A friend who took it said the same thing. We felt like ourselves the whole time, just without so much anxiety. If you drink caffeine or consume sugar, the "altering" thing is already out the window. And it doesn't have to be your whole life. I'm off it after a few years.

The only downside to lexapro was that my anxiety and depression were partly if not primarily the result of a bunch of poor mental models and resulting poor life choices. I believed a bunch of mean shit about myself, and so looked after myself with a commensurate neglect. On the meds, I kept living poorly; I just wasn't so acutely distraught about it.

It did work to alleviate my anxiety, and in the process train me to catch panic attacks early and think myself out of a spiral. I'm glad I took it when I did, because it helped and I didn't have the courage or wherewithal to go to therapy that early in my life. But I'm also glad I'm off it.

Unless your anxiety is seriously debilitating, I would suggest you spend 6 months in CBT / talk therapy, before going on medication. Or go on em but also do therapy simultaneously.

Either something in your mind is generating this anxiety, and it's worth it to get under the hood and treat the underlying issue. Or it's truly random, and it's a good idea to train your mind to be resilient to such things.
Standards are higher now. We're more aware of more potential emotional triggers.

I've observed that with the Internet increasing our potential access to information by > 1000x, the adaptive emotional response to any given piece of information needs to be toned down by a factor of 1000x to maintain emotional stability. Wouldn't make me very popular at parties to say that the proper emotional response to kids getting murdered at a festival is to shrug your shoulders and say "By the numbers, your odds of getting killed in a mass shooting are still one in a million, which is less than when we were kids", but that's both a true and a rational statement to make.
That occurred to me, but is "unneededly" a real word? The ambiguity is partly why the typo distracted me so much. The final sentence of an essay is a bad place to derail a reader’s train of thought like that.
This happens with other things as well. One of the problems with kicking $bad_thought people off the mainstream platforms like Twitter is all the $bad_thought people get isolated, enter an echo chamber, and radicalize.

I think an annoying truth that us Linux-users don't like to admit is that another large part of what makes linux "more secure" is that only technical people bother using it. My parents are both smart people, but aren't programmers or anything, and as a result didn't like Linux when I tried to get them to use it; if they did use Ubuntu it's entirely possible that they'd figure out how to get a virus pretty quickly.

This is very simple, though. There appear to be two people competing claims here.

Me and other satisfied readers of a free website, claiming Examine is a great resource, and usually the best single resource.

And many of us have provided evidence- that they cite massive amounts of scientific papers, that they've been cited by the NYTimes and other media news outlets, the fact the post got hundreds of upvotes is its own evidence, the fact they don't sell supplements or make money from advertising, etc.

You (or other skeptics), saying it's not a great resource (while ignoring all evidence already provided).

And you are also providing zero evidence, despite the supporters of Examine providing a ton of evidence for why it is a high-quality and credible site.

By being skeptical, you are claiming something, right?

The claim you are making is much easier to back up. You literally just have to find ONE source which is usually better. We already did a lot of work, why can't you do some work?

And yet, you refuse to do that. You're being much more lazy than me. I've already tried things partly due to Examine's research, and I was satisfied with the results. And I paid nothing for those great benefits.

And then I shared my experience, for free, because I appreciate the help I was given.

All you have to do is find a single objectively superior source than Examine. (Or 10, if you want to actually address the original post).

I am not asking you to do "my work", which I have already done, I am asking you to do work to back up YOUR assertion.

Hell, I even provided you with some likely candidates to start your research, if you actually care to not be lazy.
We do support network traffic capture, but this is not enabled by default and is typically only used on specific endpoints with specific status codes that customers are having problems with. We do not capture request and response bodies both for privacy and data usage reasons. We don't want to double the bandwidth usage when somebody integrates us nor do we want them to accidentally send us sensitive data.
"A SmartBear study of a Cisco Systems programming team revealed that developers should review no more than 200 to 400 lines of code (LOC) at a time. The brain can only effectively process so much information at a time; beyond 400 LOC, the ability to find defects diminishes.

"In practice, a review of 200-400 LOC over 60 to 90 minutes should yield 70-90% defect discovery. So, if 10 defects existed in the code, a properly conducted review would find between seven and nine of them."

In my opinion, the most fascinating corroborating evidence of the location of Amelia's crash is the diary of a 15yo girl in Flordia that purportedly received a reflected shortwave radio broadcast by Amelia after the crash and wrote notes contemporaneously as she heard the transmission.

Depends on the attack vector. If the concern is inadvertent malware (i.e. an unaware developer incorporating a malicious library etc.) then I'd suspect the package repos would be a bit safer because they tend to act as a low pass filter (active source repos can change very frequently, downstream package repos much less so) and also act as one or more additional sets of eyes on the source code. Some developers can get so focused on getting things done that they can lose sight other aspects of their application.

I've heard far more stories about malware making it into developer repos (usually inadvertently) than making it to package repos. I suspect it's partially the relative areas of focus of developers vs package maintainers and partially just having another set of eyes at least glancing at what's going on.
- fundamentally changes the way the web works. Websites suddely became second citizens, essentially making google search the primary citizen who serves other people's content as if it s their own.

- It splits each webpage in two.

- Hiding the real domain means fake sites and phishing are possible

- Prerendering downloads on average 1.4 MB of data with every search results page that the user may not even want or ever choose to see (it might even become a huge secuyrity hole). This probably renders server-side analytics useless too. only google now knows the truth about your traffic

- single point of failure for a government to shut down / censor articles / delete specific information from all news websites

- obvious google's control of your content / and manipulatively ranking higher the content they render - I expect this to cause an anti-trust fine very soon

- Replacing HTML with an abomination , which WILL be abused in a few months, the same way that html is currently abused in news sites.

To pick one example amongst many, when there are articles about “12 year old does X”, there is plenty of low quality rage and noise about how valuing accomplishments based on age isn’t acceptable and so on, yet I’ve never seen such a title get edited.
