Web technologies are not "suddenly" inferior to native technologies. They have always been inferior in some ways, and superior in others.

Letting javascript run when the browser isn't even in use would sacrifice one of the ways that web technologies are superior (nonintrusive when not in use) to make it a little less inferior in another way (ability to set up background tasks). That doesn't seem like a good tradeoff to me.

To add to the parent comment, super high precision gnss/rtk is often paired with multiple inertial measurement units, not very dissimilar from what you find in a smartphone. Also used in COTS drone flight controllers. Software can combine data from an imu that some vertical acceleration had taken place, with data from gnss sensors that altitude is now 2m higher, for additional level of confidence in what the gnss sensors are reporting.
The Mad Rush to Bulletproof American Schools
Pretty all costs eventually go into the hands of workers through the beautifully complex web of economy.

I know this isn't the same as distinguishing between cost of labor and cost of non labor things like keyboards and shovels. But the cost of those things benefits the average person that build them, or built their components, and so on.

Even the profit taken by the rich ends up benefitting the average person because, well, where does all that loan money come from?

Netflix’s ‘The Irishman’ is coming to theaters on Nov. 1
A few things from a non-expert:

-Raptor is operating at previously unheard of pressure, and uses advanced new materials and heavily utilized GPU-powered flow simulations during design.

-it's super efficient. It's the first operational full flow staged combustion engine AFAIK. High thrust + High efficiency == a good time.

-it uses METHALOX fuel, which can be made on various celestial bodies somewhat easily (importantly: mars). Water + solar energy + CO2 == methane-oxygen fuel

-uses more difficult spark ignition w/unlimited restarts instead of more reliable but "cartridge" based TEA-TEB (sp?) igniters that rely on mixing volatile complex to manufacture toxic chemicals to start.

The test hopper has 1 engine. The orbital prototype will have 3. The production booster will have 31 of these bad boys and put out 2.0-2.7x the thrust of a saturn V

I was skeptical until I did some classes on a Peloton, and I was impressed. It’s cheaper than one of the boutique spin studios, and the bike is nicer. It does a great job of making you feel like you are part of the class. I would own one if I already didn’t have multiple other ways I get my daily exercise.
Spin classes cost $30/CLASS at many SoulCycle studios with very modest discounts for frequent visitors. This is why they're releasing their Peloton competitor soon as well.

Which doesn't address the flexibility of the margin. Carbon fiber might cost more than an operator of a machine that turns carbon fiber into a useful good.
Clarifying some of what I wrote above --

* "independent processes" is better described as "interdependent, oftentimes antagonistic processes".

* In describing net balance, the key is that both processes remain active throughout, even if only the net balance of flow can be observed. Or more likely, the integration of the net flow over time (the stock).

* I say "that loop shifts", more accurately the loop dominance shifts. This is a term from system dynamics for describing how the behaviour of the overall system can suddenly change due to a change in flow of one or more loops that are working antagonistically.
Looks like a flying grain bin. On the other hand, it has very nice thrust vector control!
No 10-person company's product story is as unfocused and insane as Google's. They abandon products right after building them, they change names of products confusingly and frequently, and they always have 2+ products that mostly overlap.

There's this sense that we're constantly being baited and switched. No small company could afford to give its users whiplash as often as Google does.
Previously you dismissed law as zero sum, but here you appeal to it to bolster a part of your argument, thereby attributing value to it. Regardless of some of it's ugliness end excesses, if it's a system that can help steer a course through difficult situations regarding the rules of society then it is adding value.
Lord no. My thinking was "I wonder what high-priority project required the talent that was working on Hire that they had to reorg the teams to it and kill the product."

I don't think Google has ever had any layoffs. (The use of contractors allows many companies to downsize without actual layoffs, but I don't think even that strategy has really been the case during Google's history so far, which has been growth heavy and cash rich for the most part.)
Release Strategies and the Social Impacts of Language Models
On the other hand, if the economy grows at 3% per year, then humanity will be 12 times richer by 2100 than if the economy slows down to 2% growth due to heavy government interference.

Compounding interest and economic growth has been the primary driving force for lifting people out of poverty, and increased wealth can be used to build seawalls, sequester carbon, and implement climate control on a large scale.

There is still plenty of debate to be had about whether the economic growth from acclimation outweighs the potential climate benefits from mitigation.

Maybe verification tools choke on pointer incrementing?

Having worked on a variety of code bases and coding styles, I think if there are coding rules and they are consistent across all the source files, it becomes easy to read even with wierdnesses. I hated perl with @_ and $_, but after working with it enough they became known quantities.

And you can probably read all the lines of code in your lifetime, since the whole microkernel is ~30k lines of code.

Building Infrastructure for Studying Social Media in Elections and Democracy
The threat is indirect. When people use the free services, they care about their quality, so there is a pressure to keep the quality high. The more people stop using the services, the more people don't care if their quality goes down.

This change can actually be irreversible, because as long as the quality is okay, people can leave and return on a whim, but when the quality goes down, they will be unlikely to return.
Right, among leftists, some want an absolute state authority controlling all aspects of the economy, and some want absolutely no government at all. The common denominator is the socialization of the means of production (for whatever that means to different people).

Left/right is kind of a stupid spectrum because it's essentially compressing a great deal of dimensionality into a single dimension. And not even that, but "left" in the US means "higher taxes" where to the rest of the world it means "abolish private property and money."

> The state control axis is the most relevant

That's like saying "I think color is the most important aspect of art." I think different things are more important to different people, subjectively. That said, given where I land on this political compass (https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2?ec=-9.0&soc=-6.62) I'd say I do share your views on state control being important.

This all seems pretty fair to me.

I know how to evaluate a startup's potential failure. Who's funding them? How much money do they have? How popular are they? How solid's the product? What are the founders like? Heck, for a lot of small startups, you can just ask to talk to the CEO if it's what it will take to close the deal. And I have a good idea of the conditions under which they'll throw in the towel.

But Google product success seems to depend entirely on internal politics, which are completely opaque to me. As traek explains, this product only exists at Google because Google wanted to hire the company's CEO: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20815572

And it stopped existing because she left Google. How could I possibly predict that? Better just to stay away, I figure, unless it's an obvious money-maker or has high strategic value.

The Raptor engine isn't just "more powerful" but uses an advanced "full-flow staged-combustion" cycle which has never flown before.

The Merlin is highly optimized but it uses a simpler "gas generator" cycle which is less efficient. The Falcon 9 and Merlin is famously optimized for "low-cost" instead of "high-tech" but with Raptor they are now advancing the state of the art in propulsion tech.

Actually, there were comments on hacker news the other day about the domain, the most likely explanation is that is was too cumbersome to provision new things on microsoft.com so the devs went with what they could get their hands on instead.
The concept has value. It needs to be discussed. Wages can be paid with money with different expiry dates. Say you get $1000 a month, with $500 in 30 day cash. $250 in 90 day cash and $150 one year and $100 permanent. Best way to handle it is with a tiered debit card, so people could use the short term cash for food rent and items on the basisof useit or lose it. The 90 day and annual could accumulate. You might be able to roll one type over for another period for a fee - say 5% for 30 day. 10% for 90 day and 15% annual. This would act as an impetus to spend money so other people in the economy benefit. The use of debit cards would allow the money to be refreshed so the merchant gets 30 day money on day 25 it is now 30 day money fresh in his hands. A huge sea of data, but easy for an accounting system to handle.
The concept needs to be brainstormed but I think a viable economy would work with the correct settings.
Do you spin, and have you ridden a Peloton? Nearly every person I know who likes spin enough to go to spin studios buys a Peloton after test riding one. They did that good of job nailing and improving the spin studio experience.

It's likely that unless you can claim status as a library or some other exception to copyright protections, as a commercial entity providing that service without compensating publishers, such a straightforward violation would get a bunch of takedown requests and eventual lawsuits for failure to respond to those requests, along with more suits if publishers have no easy way of opting out.

As a personal tool you built for yourself and your friend(s) nerdy enough to understand it, I wouldn’t worry too much about it, as long as no search engines index your site and no one finds out about it.

It is also a disadvantage. The peloton bike is heavier (IE sturdier), has more grip options, takes up less floor space (the peloton is about a foot shorter than my actual bike, not including any potential trainer that would be required), is much more easily adjustable (if multiple people are using it), and is purpose built for the function it serves. I only have experience with one type of trainer, so this may be trainer dependent, but the peloton is also much quieter than the type of trainer I've previously used.

Not to mention that when I want to go out and ride I don't need to detach my bike from the trainer, or when I want to get a workout I don't need to attach my bike to the trainer. As somebody that is primarily a bike commuter, the accessibility alone is worth having 2 bikes. And if you are going to have 2 bikes, why not buy an indoor bike that is specialized for the task.
Meanwhile, my biggest house shopping concern is a garage. Even if you live sans-car, it is super useful to have a work and storage space.
I am going to admit out loud something that I suspect many people here also feel:

I am envious of Anthony Levandowski

Not his unscrupulous behavior, theft, and all that. But rather the fact that his confidence, swagger, and the ability to talk to Thrun and Larry and Sergei and Travis as equals (or as inferiors, actually, in this technical domain) gave people such a high impression that they bestowed him with $centi-million bonuses.

I'm well-paid in silicon valley but my stock grants have been flat for years. I haven't been able to grow a large team (let alone 2000 people like Levandowski at Uber apparently). If I'm caught in an elevator with our Senior VP, I don't really know what to say (and I'm certainly not invited up to the executive floor to continue the conversation afterwards).

And yet here we have a guy who did all this by orders of magnitude and at multiple companies. I don't want to be a dirtbag like him, but I will admit I am envious.

Just because you have kept using RSS doesn't mean that the community has grown or even that it has stayed constant in size. Interest in RSS (or at least the best proxy I could find, Google searches for "RSS") has been steadily declining since ~2006[1].

Assuming RSS continues to decline, I imagine that more and more sites will stop supporting it.

Darn, I was hoping to read the commentary on this. Seems like YC doesn't cotton to the idea of "mid-skilled" being enough. All these people straining so hard with the side projects and so on, to achieve a little more, it wears me out even as I force myself to go home to take my kid to the dentist - It'll take me longer to master spark shuffling algorithms, but whatever. I got to hear (and later mock) the dentist scolding my son for having mold in his braces. He laughed. And my kids are probably going to be more average than I am - I do hope our society can use their skills and pleasant qualities effectively. Only providing work for uptight but high-skilled people is not so great.

> First, as you might expect, aerobic and endurance exercise benefits greatly from being in a fasted (16-24 hr) state. You're light, quick and your body is devoting zero blood flow (and other resources) to digestion.

I'd say it depends greatly on the effort and the individual. Long, slow distance for someone who is accustomed to training fasted? Fat stores will suffice as an energy source.

But add in some intensity and that's gonna be rough without much glycogen in the tank - which will be the case if you've been fasting for the past 16-24 hours.
