It's not that far off from what WinFS had envisioned:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFS

>WinFS includes a relational database for storage of information, and allows any type of information to be stored in it, provided there is a well defined schema for the type. Individual data items could then be related together by relationships, which are either inferred by the system based on certain attributes or explicitly stated by the user. As the data has a well defined schema, any application can reuse the data; and using the relationships, related data can be effectively organized as well as retrieved. Because the system knows the structure and intent of the information, it can be used to make complex queries that enable advanced searching through the data and aggregating various data items by exploiting the relationships between them.

From what I heard, it was slow, and devs just were not that interested in some clean schema based interface because it complicated their ability to ship; interesting that the modern approach seems to also favor schema on write.
I find Splitwise UI not intuitive at all. I currently used acasa. UI wise its great. The one thing I don't like about them is they don't let you export the data from the system.

>Guys always respect a guy who can fight

That’s frightening and sad
Wasn't intended to be a jab... just a reflection on my own reaction reading it. Up until reading the parent comment, not once did I think about the potential financial ruin of this family (whereas the comment suggested that that was one of the immediate thoughts in his/her mind).

I personally find it interesting and worthy of discussion that different developed nations can have such different "risk profiles" for entrepreneurs. If anything, it makes me respect US founders even more... since when they set out (and presumably don't have insurance yet), they are risking far more (i.e. their family's long-term financial destitution) vs. a founder in a country with public healthcare.

Not an expert on this, just my reflections.
Do you assume that the listener is incapable of challenging the guest? Just because Rogan doesn’t correct all of his guests absurdities doesn’t mean they go unchecked. After listening to the Alex Jones podcast, for example, I have come to my own conclusion that the guy is not worth paying attention to. I didn’t need the host to do that for me.

Dumb ideas need to be exposed as dumb by the hearer, not by some special class of elites who filter information for us.
:) well I posted on a FYI - For Your Information only angle.

My thoughts: seed valuations for YC Demo Day are probably on a all time high, VC's giving gifts to be able to get in rounds looks like something out of Silicon Valley HBO, ok I remembered everything on SV HBO is based on real life events.

Wife is from Philippines living in Denmark and we had to go to Jordan, Aqaba. Your page will say I need Visa which is true but it’s given on arrival because of the entry point. Wife is another matter, she has to get it in the Jordanian embassy in Berlin as Denmark only has a consulate. The Jordanian webpage information has not been updated for ages and is wrong. The embassy is somewhat helpful but it took me several calls to figure out how to do the return postage for the passport as danish mail had discontinued this product a year earlier. Also first thing wife will usually do is google visa <country> and end up on a advertisement with a high premium on the visa and a crazy fee when you realize the mistake and try and cancel. Would be great with a place to get a quick overview of the normal price and a place to comment and discuss the challenges you sometimes run into.

I'm not sure his guests are paying to be on the program, I don't think I've seen too many shilling for some product on his show.

But, even if you consider it an infomercial, I don't see what the problem is. Don't like what they have to say? Don't watch. Not sure you can trust his guests? Don't watch.

Recap: Hedge fund managers asked Rushkoff for thoughts on how to "hire" loyal people during the doomsday. His answer was something like "treat them and their families nicely".

I thought the answer was obvious: Start a prepper cult. Or buy your way into the upper tiers of an existing cult.

Quakers are a reasonable bet. Mormons are the best available bet. Plus you get your own planet to rule.
Obviously, this is a long known issue. My stash mostly just expires or gets used while travelling in places like Himalaya or remote tropical jungles where it really makes a difference. My wife is a doctor so that helps.

A single guy having strict antibiotics discipline doesn't mean anything when you have 1 billion+ countries like India where strong generic antibiotics are sold to anybody over the counter (at least that was the case in 2010).

Once I didn't have them on Kilimanjaro and I went from being perfectly OK to almost passing out within 1 freakin' hour from extremely strong gastro infection. Luckily peace corps members of the team had some and they almost immediately helped a lot (I still had what one can call a shitty experience of the peak, albeit successful). In situations like these you don't care about long-term good of the mankind, you just want to survive, far from any professional help.
Cool website, however, I really dislike the name. Doesn't make much sense to me.

A filesystem isn't so different from a database in the first place. Not really relational, but still.

The olde PalmOS had databases as primary storage. Though databases seem to have had capacity for blobs, since apps themselves were stored that way, aside from text files, images and whatnot.

In fact, afaik some mainframe OSes were built around databases.

Most startup ideas are non-obvious in their very early phase. If there was already proof one way or another that they were good or bad, they would be already done, or already dropped, respectively.

Also, the founders have much more knowledge about their startup. You have what you got from that one paragraph description you read. That's a huge asymmetry of information.

PG's essay explicitly calls us out:

"At YC we're excited when we meet startups working on things that we could imagine know-it-alls on forums dismissing as toys. To us that's positive evidence an idea is good."

I don't really enjoy Joe Rogan due to the college dorm room style mentioned above, but I don't understand this sentiment against Joe for being too accepting. There are people who get very unhappy whenever they are reminded that their opinions are not universal, and even further beyond them is a position that in my opinion is pretty dangerous: people who dislike anyone that doesn't share their militancy. People who really hate Joe Rogan because he fraternizes with the enemy are helping to contribute to America's polarization problem.

Agreed, I took an online "great courses" in chemistry and I had so many "but why?" questions I had to stop. I was spending far too long going down Wikipedia rabbit holes. You need to have a particular tolerance for not understanding it all and work with a sort of bayesian estimation of understanding as you move forward.
Where did you get these phone numbers (for the United States)?

> Police - 999

> Ambulance - 997

> Fire - 998

> Traffic police - 993 Mobile phones - 112 or 911

> Non-emergency ambulance - 1777

> Police hotline - 1800 255 0000

> Traffic police - 6547 0000

None of them seem to be correct, except for 911. In the United States, 911 is the same for police, ambulance, fire, and "traffic police". Also, non-emergency ambulance/police are all varied depending on your current location and are usually administered by the county/city/district that you're in. There is no global number (that I'm aware of) that is the nearest non-emergency police/ambulance line.
Came here to comment on this EXACT quote.

The idea that you have to not only be the "right" mouth (whatever the hell that means) but also _prove_ that you're the "right" mouth are the exact type of thought crime / virtue signaling principles that I think Rogan and his audience rallies against.

The author even further cements their bias when writing about how Rogan constantly talks about his left-wing views, but that his "actions" somehow point him to being more right-wing (though the author only points to things Rogan has _said_, but I digress) - as if Joe needs to do more to prove he's a left-wing ally (aka "virtue signaling") and the occasional right wing guest makes him worthy for "re-education" to make sure he becomes the "right mouth" for the right points.
I think my comment was downvoted for the tone rather than content. I am just frustrated that according to HN, it’s ok to create random color scheme with no clear objective problem statement and perpetuate the Jet...uhhh Turbo. It took a tremendous effort to make Viridis a default matplotlib colormap.

Using Jet or Turbo is literally lying to your audience.
That's my biggest complaint about digital broadcast.

On the other hand - AM broadcast is still totally analog, so a crystal radio should still work! I should order a kit right now!
Another great app for tracking expenses is Splid [1] – IMO much better than Splitwise, no accounts required, clean and beautiful UI. (I'm not affiliated with this app)

I want to like Firefox, and I use it regularly, but I just veer back to Chrome. I still prefer the UI and extensions (which Chrome still has the 'edge' in).
Your data is wrong. I put in from "United States" to "Israel", and it said a Visa is required, which is not true unless the visit is longer than 3 months.

Also, the very first time I used it, I typed in "USA" to "Germany", and it treated the unknown string "USA" as a country, and told me a visa was required, which is also not true.

>This motor has 48 coils, and the ability to change what order and groupings they get powered.

Ok, great, so now you have a bunch of discrete speeds you can run the motor at. How smooth a ride do you think that's going to provide?

If you can't run a motor at any arbitrary speed within its range, it's useless for any kind of vehicle.

>And what is 'battery voltage'? Battery voltage is something like 2.8 volts

No, that's cell voltage. A battery is a group of cells. That battery in your car that produces 12V is a group of 6 cells each producing 2V, with the cells all connected in series. As I understand it, Tesla batteries are rather high-voltage.

>From what I recall, recharging multiple cells in series leads to some pretty big problems when some of the cells are aging faster than others.

Yet somehow it works just fine for car batteries over the last 100 years, and for most every other battery we use these days (laptops, etc.).

>With 48 coils on the motor and a battery pack of 120 or more cells, there are a lot of voltages and currents you could run through the system by reconfiguring instead of inverting.

Yeah, again, if you just want to run at various discrete speeds. How many people are going to want a herky-jerky car like that?
wow thanks I don't know how I missed that, will fix it asap!!!
Some people want fewer children, some people have decided they cannot afford to have children. Which group is larger is unknown, and I haven't heard of a single country (and few individuals) that has expressed an interest in investigating it. Rather, most people seem intent on denying this situation is even true, despite little if any evidence suggesting that.

It's unfortunate that the wealthiest people are also the ones with the best access to financially literate people and resources.

That's one reason why the cycle is going to continue forever...the rich have the most ways to stay rich.
I'm assuming it's the later. Some applications require pretty high speed inference, like video.
> Common descent is a core tenet...

It's taken that (known) modern organisms descend from a common set of ancestors, but the tree of life isn't a tree. Organisms diverged and merged multiple times along the way to the modern world.

It says nothing about how that/those points of common descent came to be.

What originally constituted living things probably weren't very good at living by modern standards. They probably leaked like sieves, and they probably traded RNA, polypeptides, and other small molecules back and forth.

When was this soup alive, and when wasn't it? I suspect it's just a continuum, and that complicated soup probably went back and forth across that grey zone of living-nonliving many times.
Even if it is owner-pressured, over time people grow accustomed to the linear presentation that's dominant in apps. People like when new stuff works like stuff they already know.

Importantly, implemented on top of Chromium does not mean feature parity with Chrome.
* Rich people are selfish (unlike everyone else, apparently) and are therefore bad;
* Everything rich people do (even spending their fortunes on space exploration) is bad;
* Jobs done by rich people are exploitative and therefore bad;
* Jobs done by poor people are the result of exploitation and are therefore bad;
* Capitalism does not make everyone rich, and is therefore bad (despite the fact that being rich is undesirable for some reason).

All I want is an OS that has as few of the weaknesses as possible and all the best things about all the current major operating systems; examples: Flagship gaming support from Windows, Stability and flexibility from Linux, and Design principles from MacOS.

Each of those three operating systems have some weaknesses that makes me jump between them quite often. Things like: Forced updates in Windows 10, certain lack of hardware, application, and game support in Linux, and MacOS "requiring" Apple hardware (I know about hackintoshes, built some in my day, but they always felt like a house of cards).

There are plenty of other strengths and weaknesses to each of them, I just feel as if I'm always giving up something awesome and gaining something painful when switching. One would think by now we would have more competitors (and I consider the various distributions/desktop environments of Linux as a single competitor to Windows and MacOS), trying out new ways of user experiences, and/or trying to bring together what makes each of them great into a single source. Of course, so much is driven on ROI and developer buy-in, so I understand the reality and complexity.

The above is my dream :)
Except if you do that, you destroy tons of legitimate restaurant companies.
Wow, this looks great. Self-hostable but with an easy to use public instance, no app and a decent UI.

A few things I would really like to see added seem to already be in discussion, such as an "add to homescreen" option (https://github.com/xMartin/grouptabs/issues/146, https://github.com/xMartin/grouptabs/pull/143) and a delete option (https://github.com/xMartin/grouptabs/issues/152).

I look forward to playing with!
Yes, I’ll request it via the issue tracker. Thanks!!
Small usability tip: When you specify your source/destination country and submit the form, the countries you entered should ideally still be in the form on the results page.

As it is, I'm from United Kingdom, checking out a country to go to, I see and read the visa information. If I want to check out another country, I have to enter I'm from United Kingdom again.

And I always feel the question of "what am I looking at?" is best answered by looking at the form. I know the information is displayed in other places on the results page, but still, the form is the part of the page the user has already interacted with, and are familiar with.
I've collected the information from various websites including wikipedia.
The idea that computing can and should be fundamentally reinvented has been the most exciting discovery of my life.
Sorry but you hype me but don't deliver.
This seems fascinating but is far too vague to be actionable, could you exemplify what are computing reinvention?
My guess is that the article is fiction, or a highly modified version of the truth to make some point.

It is interesting to think about societies that can handle strong shock. Looking back, my guess is that the modern West doesn't have that capability built in. A proven model is one of a very strong hierarchy (monarchy perhaps) with strong social glue.

That isn't to say that you shouldn't go on extended vacation at your estate in Spain when a slave rebellion starts up near your place in Capua.
Wrong. These companies held us back because of their size, and it took a lot for a competitor to come along and unseat them because of their market inertia. Generally, tech had to advance enough to make their dominance obsolete, instead of a better competitor being able to unseat them just by having a better product.

If this hadn't been the case, we'd be farther along now.
I assume they meant aligned _with respect to users and developers_. Google is primarily an advertising company, and Firefox's revenue comes mostly from Google. Apple has no interests in ads these days (and their old ad platform never did browser ads anyway), so you don't have the same sort of competing incentives.

So... the reason why Pivotal Tracker is still my favorite tool is because most PM's want to know when a feature is going to be done. With PT, developers assign points to stories and the 3 week average (customizable) is what makes a velocity.

If velocity is 20, then 20 points worth of stories fit into an iteration (week). Points include testing, so that isn't cut out, like with sprints. As a PM, I can get developers to point stories out for a few weeks worth of iterations. If I need to move stories around, I can do that easily and I can see how moving things around affects 'when it will be available'.

If I was going to use another tool, I'd want PT's 'velocity' as a base feature for sure.
First, a lot of technically minded people run Linux and want to have hardware-accelerated video decoding for performance and Firefox isn't focused on supporting this for Linux, but it does work on multiple distros for Chromium.

In terms of mobile, me guesses you haven't got the news about Mozilla doing away with extensions for newer versions. Plus there are other open source browsers with extension support, even based on Chromium.
.Net Core is the future: It is clearly the .Net runtime environment Microsoft are putting their weight behind to eventually make it the standard.

Besides this future perspective, the real benefit from it you have today is that your project will (unless it uses Windows APIs, which is unfortunately way too common) instantly run on Linux.
I think it is the use of the word "fraternal". It means "of or like a brother or brothers", implying male gender.

"be relaxed and relax them too, with a fraternal and understanding tone"

The word "friendly" would have been a simpler synonym in that sentence.
> But it sounds unlikely that a) there really was that single origin cell, and not a few that popped up around the same time (on a geological scale)

This is not a necessity. It is entirely possible life on earth was formed multiple times, completely independently and our lineage simply out-competed other sort(s) of life; and somehow we lost the evidence of it, or couldn't find it yet. As it's suggested by other comments, it's a well established fact that the life we know of share the same single origin (this organism(s?) is called the "Last universal common ancestor" or LUCA [1]); but that doesn't mean there has been a single sort of life our lineage ever interacted with, it just means our lineage was the only good-enough life for the conditions on earth for most of the geological periods.

Grew up under Reagan. I'm surprised we're still here.

But to your point, America has long had subcultures with apocalyptic fetishes.

Too lazy to dig it up, but once read an article which tied it back to the types of Christians initially compelled to settle here. Book of Revelations and all that. Having been raised in a church, having someone point out this elephant in our room was a facepalm moment for me.
Dutch citizens usually don't need a visa to travel to the US (they have to get an ESTA visa waiver instead), but if they have traveled to certain countries (in my case Sudan) they do need a visa.

The rules are more complex than can be answered based on a simple citizenship+destination question.

I'm not sure that things become more "efficient" resource-wise during wartime, but they do become more focused, urgent priorities. This could be said for any urgent crisis or ambitious goal actually resourced in peacetime.

The journey to the moon was an example of this. Did we do it efficiently? Probably not. We spent tons of cash and resources that otherwise may have been used more efficiently, but we achieved the objective.

During war, the biggest gain is SPEED in the prioritization and removal of red tape, and acceptance of risk (death, health risk, etc) to achieve the objective (as you mention).

Want to build a nuclear reactor in Chicago? Go for it. Have to build TWO competing uranium generating plants to hedge your risks at the costs of billions? Yes, of course. I would hesitate to say, however, that war develops these innovations more efficiently than at other times.
The first argument seems to be a normal Lisp expression, with no special syntax, and the second argument has the solution variable and all the variables mentioned in the expression bound to (the solution object, the values of the variables in the solution it found).

That doesn't sound any more unhygienic than pattern matching.
Another possibility: life came to Earth already well formed (panspermia), and that single ancestral introduction rapidly filled the terrestrial biosphere so no further introductions could take hold.
