This tech has the potential to distort market forces to a significant degree. Somewhat similar to how cigarettes are harmful to the user, but the user wants to smoke them anyway due to the products impact on the brain.

New products may not get investment because the user is hopelessly attached to the old product through some a reward signal hardwired into their brain.

On the other hand, learning and studying could feel awesome with such tech. And mind altering substances might not be a requirement.

As we get more powerful tech, I think we should work towards ways of bending the tech toward positive outcomes.
> This makes graphs a superior data structure.

I'll read this generously and assume you meant to say that graphs are an essential data structure, i.e. we can use a graph to represent the more specific data structures used by various types of databases (e.g. A b-tree is a type of graph)

Whether a graph data store or a more specialized tool (e.g. a relational database, etc.) is superior depends (as I'm sure you agree) on context.
yes, it's nice and everything, but where is CentOS 8.0 ?
You can connect quite a few things via the Camera Connection Kit (CCK) which has a USB port in it. MIDI controllers and USB soundcards are two things I've used recently.
The article reminds of the work of Stonebraker and Hellerstein - What Goes Around Comes Around, which gives a description of how the database world goes in cycles (can be found here: https://people.cs.umass.edu/~yanlei/courses/CS691LL-f06/pape...)
I don't know about podcasting, but for music, streaming royalties are so abysmal that I can't feel guilt about blocking ads on those services. If I want to support an artist, I'll buy their music on Bandcamp, where I know they'll get the majority of the purchase price.
I agree.

I am from that yellow bit and people were stunned the day after. The whole thing is crazy. Society feels fundamentally broken.
This isn't a competition. It's also bad in the US. That doesn't make it acceptable in India
> We are at those levels for almost 50 years now in "the west".

Even with 1/4th of the population of India, and having access to latest technology, the US has emitted obscene levels of CO2 in the last 50 years [0] and has not shown much signs of improvement. And you are blaming a 70-year old country that was in post-colonial shambles 50 years ago. You should be ashamed of yourself.

> don't destroy the rest of the planet for us.

Peak arrogance. Isn't it you who is destroying the planet with your luxury lifestyle? Take a look at [0]. You expect poor people that barely have enough food on their plate to reduce their living standards? That's never going to happen - it is you who needs to do that. The people in India will continue to work towards improving their living standards, as they deserve to.

But who artificially created that problem? The artists. There is no marketing company that has intelligent billboards scanning the public for prostitutes. There are no researchers seriously using CV to classify convicts (at least not in the West, and not with ImageNet). That could be a malicious usage problem. This is either a non-problem or Armaggedon for all ML CV datasets, because you certainly can use most CV datasets to train a crappy classifier to output offensive labels. If I train a people photo tagger using a dataset used for combating poaching monkeys in Africa, then who is at fault? Certainly not the researchers who published that dataset with the idea that the data would be used with common sense and scientific rigor, not adversarially -- to make a political point attacking the very existence of that data. The "exposed" bias is trivial.

It is the technical justification that should be all that matters for a canonical academic dataset. Science does its best to be apolitical, but then politics ("red bull drinking white men train racist and sexist classifiers") is forced upon it, and we can't really have a productive conversation about bias and ethics anymore.

AI needs common sense knowledge of the world to improve. Censorship so science does not offend our sensibilities, would only make it so Google Image Search (a machine learning algorithm) does not return any images of people when you search for "prostitute". Heck, the AI would never learn the difference between a male and a female prostitute. Destruction of accessible knowledge so we (aka: people on Twitter who think AI is the terminator, or the director of the internet) don't get offended by some primitive ML model-as-art-project forced to make errors or awkward classifications. That's a sentence the academic ML community could do entirely without. No benchmarks or duckface selfie would be hurt. No unfortunate third-world souls hired to scan 20 million + internet crawled images for wrongthink, only for the machine to do the unsupervised learning in a hug box, not a black box. Oi mate, you got a loicense fer that label?

They've had 3 years, but not to act in the current (very different) circumstances than were present for that 3 year period. Most of that time was spent in the actual substantive negotiations, but those fell apart in their ability to gain parliamentary support, precisely because Theresa May held her cards too close to her vest and away from parliamentary scrutiny & input, and that gave rise to the time crunch here.

Regardless of whether they could have acted sooner, Johnson's move was to prevent them from acting now when faced with a new administration and new course of action that had every appearance of going against both the will of parliament and (though less legally relevant) the will of the people in that most do not support crashing out without a deal.

You can't claim they had 3 years to act on the current situation when the current situation just arose in the form of a new PM that was attempting to side step any parliamentary review or legislation over his course of action.

Finally, they actually did act this past spring to vote that no deal wasn't an acceptable outcome. It was part of a series of non-binding votes that established governmental norms should have meant that it would be honored. When, after Johnson became PM, it was clear that it would not be honored, parliament quickly acted in the short time before being proroqued to actually enact in law the requirement to ask the EU for an extension in the face of no-deal. So, not only is 3 years not what they had to address the current situation, to they extent that they could address the current situation, they did so. Their desire to do more was prohibited by Johnson's (now illegal) actions.
In 2018 I took a year off fro work to be a stay-at-home dad, and one thing that really surprised me was how little I used my MacBook; the only time I would drag it out was to connect my pre-bluetooth Garmin to sync my cycling workouts to Strava.

Had my iPad supported USB devices, there's a good chance I wouldn't have used it at all.
How this typically goes. Congratulations, you got past my filter. deleted

TBH, if the app doesn't currently have any traction, it's current value is essentially nil. If that's the case, knowing the ins and outs doesn't provide much value, especially if they have to rework the app as it would generally be cheaper to just start from scratch.
More or less what I got as well. This is a welcome change for ISVs and IHVs, and I’m glad to see CentOS have a place in the family beyond “RHEL for people who don’t want to pay for support”.
Started with tmux, but during 4 years of using it updates broke my config files several times. Then around a year ago turned to screen and am really pleased about the decision: no more config-broking updates; available by default on most systems; by adjusting a few details was able to match my previous tmux setup exactly.

I don't understand what he means by that. If there is an age of consent, then some people will be under it by a year. What is the alternative? In your country, there are also people a year under the age of consent. Whether not someone is above the age of consent cannot possibly be considered a "minor detail" in determining whether or not they consented.

I would go further, and say that focusing on how something was said is a way to avoid thinking about its content, which may be inconvenient, or painful, or whatever. I find it very suspicious when the reaction to something being said is to focus on its verbiage or tone. Gets my spidey-senses tingling.
That's because you count them as part of that overwhelming "never opened" group.
Because it's not very good mouse support. It's basically a simulated finger. If they started advertising this, people would rightly criticize it for being mediocre. For the moment anyhow, the iPad is a touch device with an optional virtual finger you can plug into it.

I've known some people who considered religious curses inherently "aggressive", on the principle that blasphemy is an offense against god instead of the other people around you. But even the people who would chastise someone for swering in a crisis had the sense to wait for the end of that crisis.

I'd imagine that as much as anything, this is about 911 dispatching being a thoroughly unnatural role. On one end of the phone, it's a life-and-death crisis, but on the other it's the twelfth call of an eight-hour shift. Miscommunication across that kind of gap seems inevitable.
It equally becomes harder to resurface relevant information.

Assuming laws and regulations will only be used for good by well intentioned people is a serious mistake.

A healthy amount of cynicism is an important life skill!
The TL;DR is always that the US ginned up the evidence on WMD as a pretense to go back to war.

My take on all of that was the Saddam Hussein was running a con. He wanted his regional adversaries to have the thought that he had WMD but wanted the UN inspectors to never find a "smoking gun". The analogy would be someone making a gun gesture in their coat pocket and then finding themselves confronting someone who really does have a gun...

On top of that he clearly didn't adhere to the restrictions imposed on him after the first Gulf War leading to the second Gulf War to eliminate any possibility of him having WMD and to enforce the restrictions.

Other explanations for our motivation to go to war never made sense to me such as "it was for the oil". Much cheaper (in blood and $$) to just purchase the oil if that was our goal, but the oil economy is basically private so it doesn't even make sense as a government goal. But I digress...

I find twitter really great. Not for discussing politics though, this is better left to echo chambers like reddit . But the universe of information and opinion there is really unparalleled. You just have to unfollow people who tend to retweet their political opinions even though they are are unrelated to their main feed; that's just rude behaviour.
There’s no question that Rogan’s style is to make every interview as “warm” as possible, rarely challenging any guest on any extraordinary claim.

There’s also an argument to be made about his “platforming” of arguable kooks and so on, though it’s clearly preferable to entertain unconventional ideas than to dismiss them out of hand, the cumulative payoff of an unconventional idea being so very great.

Flying saucers are always good entertainment, though not good enough to paper over the fact that half of that Bob Lazar “documentary” was footage of a tattooed guy shouting into his smartphone for the benefit of like three different GoPros.

The open secret of physics is that nobody really knows WTF is going on. Particle theory is obviously a rough approximation, and string theory and quantum theory have been effectively stalled for long enough that it’s increasingly apparent that the complexity of the Universe has more moving parts than the working memory of the human brain. Humility is called for. “We know” ... yeah, okay.
What percent of tech investors enable "Display Remote Images" for their email?

Being frank on the subject, I'd look down on anyone who claims to be knowledgeable about technology yet enables remote images, i.e. open tracking.
Years and years ago I took two semesters of physics at Columbia and I was impressed by the real slate chalkboards in classrooms. Ever since than I wish to buy real slate to use at home. Occasionally, I see them sold at ebay salvaged from schhols. But I wonder if there are manufacturers who sell new slate boards? Anyone know?
Yes, just be careful what you sign when walking away now.
Thanks a lot! To address one of your points:

> Who is listing as hiring them on the contract, the company or Jim?

Jim is the one. People around here suggested though that it doesn't really matter because for example I've contributed something to the app as well (sketches, app flow, design, etc.) and the app was clearly made for the purposes of the company
> a higher chunk of cold email i get don’t bother explaining what the company actually does. please don’t do this.

PG had a recent tweet that touched on this in response to someone pitching an intentionally ridiculous product (at least, that's how their tweet read to me):

"Believe it or not, this is not the worst pitch I've received. It's (a) concise and (b) I can tell what your product is. Those two alone may push it into the top half." [0]

It's apparently harder than it should be to succinctly explain what the company does before explaining why it's a good investment or why you need investment.

Watch the video on this page. It has interviews of people who survived a suicide attempt. https://www.kent.gov.uk/social-care-and-health/health/releas...

Here's a transcript: https://www.kent.gov.uk/social-care-and-health/health/releas...

They already feel immense amounts of shame. Adding to that shame just re-affirms what they already think, it confirms their distorted thinking that everyone would be better off without them.

The distorted thinking runs something like: "Only an arsehole would kill themselves and leave their family to deal with it, and I'm thinking of killing myself, therefore I am an arsehole. And I'm so terrible that they would in fact be better off without me."
Not likely IMO. Telling him that ending his suffering makes him a bad person is just adding weight. Suicide isn't a linear decision that can be logically eliminated; it's a vortex of feeling trapped, hopeless, guilty, etc. that needs to be disrupted somehow.

Dozens of studies show the opposite of what you're saying. Social media companies do every tick in the book, and then some, to get people addicted. In certain cases what you're saying is true, but it might as well be the other way around for the rest.
I think to be fair, if the DUP had supported it then there’s a very good argument that that would have changed minds sufficiently elsewhere that it could have passed. Playing counter factuals on this type of thing is very difficult though because, for example, some MPs likely took a view that they wanted to be on the winning/losing side for reasons mostly unrelated to the contents of the deal itself.

I once wrote about them here. I questioned their rationale of trying to "beat" Tesla when Tesla itself was deep in red.

Were they took the enormous amount amount of money they got from investors, and put it into making electric Suzuki Alto lookalikes, they would've been bathing in cash now.

But no, those guys not only did not recognise Tesla's failure, but they doubled down on it, and ran a car company as if it was some Internet dotcom.

It's nice:) Rolling release, works well for me. Does require semi-regular tinkering in my experience (usually because of issues in packages getting shifted around). I tend to view Alpine and Void as a nice pairing; Alpine has releases and is stable and reliable. Void is rolling release and requires more tinkering, but it's a nice system if you don't mind that.
I tried that once, and it works for a certain kind of business and a certain kind of developer.

Basically, it works if you're building the kind of thing that you can build, and take to market, in 50% of your time with minimal or no assistance. The other 50% of your time will be on business development tasks. Such an approach works when you're a great software developer, and a great businessperson, and disciplined enough to know what you can do as a single person with a small budget.

These are things like small websites, small apps, little doodads that can be manufactured via contracting with someone else and sold on Amazon, ect, ect.

There are plenty of interesting businesses that can be built that way, and plenty of interesting businesses that can't be built that way. (Just try to build something that needs hard capital for tools, like a chip fab!)
Used to have that actually, it's just too much of a hassle in today's cloud environment (I can easily SSH into dozens of fresh instances over a day and there's no way I'm baking my personal config into an image). I was considering to revisit and streamline that, but I imagine the cognitive overhead of different remote hosts having different configs is worse than what I have now (local=my config, remote=vanilla).

I just bind a different prefix and moved the bar to the top locally (I use urxvt+tmux with Ctrl+arrow keys etc to navigate tmux tabs instead of a tabbed terminal client) to get around the nesting issue.
thanks :) I was expecting to see it on the homepage, frankly...

Connections was one of my favorite shows when I was younger, and it played on cable. I think it was the Discovery channel, as hard as that is to imagine now. I really miss the Discovery channel of my youth, when it was a gateway to science and history, and not primarily a vehicle of reality TV programming. At least I assume it still is, I abandoned it long ago (not long after it abandoned me).

Blink shell on the App Store is a fantastic terminal that works wonderfully on iOS/iPadOS. Highly recommend it even with its steep price of $20. It supports mosh out of the box and has ability to store/import private/public keys. Multiple terminals can be opened as well. It even has a limited native shell which you can use to SCP files from your iPad to servers.

It's been researched and you are (generally) happier as a rich guy in a poor neighborhood than an even richer guy in a very rich neighboring.

Of course, you could be an exception. Most likely though, you are richer than what you consider your closer peers (especially considering that we're on HN).

PS. Sorry for not posting references. It should be fairly easy to look up for the interested though.
This is a very interesting question, no less from a 19^W20 year old. Honestly, most Ask HN are dull.

Normally, (90%ile) investors get paid back and founders do not (founders own common stock). In this case, Jim owns 92.3% of the preferred stock. Additionally, he paid for a developer out of pocket, not with corporate funds.

Without insulting you, trust me, whatever your idea was it's not going to unicorn status. You are going to fall into the 90%ile. You must already know that -- you're leaving of your own accord.

I would suggest that you propose reducing your equity stake immediately to 3.85%, based on your preferred stock ownership minus 50% to reflect Jim's personal payment for iOS work. Hours spent != effort and effort != stake. If that were true, founders would make kagillions and investors would make pennies. Get over the idea that your efforts justify reward ... it's a lottery not a skills test.

Given Jim's so-far absolutist position, I would further explain how you can make his life hell by making him and the company look bad on social media, directly to investors, etc. (Pls ignore the fact whether you would or not -- you are negotiating here.)

3.85% is perfectly reasonable on both sides so this should be a good offer.

I like it, at least in theory. I develop some industrial software that runs on RHEL so being able to run somewhat similar distribution on my machine would be convenient. I tried running CentOS but it was too frustrating and limiting to deal with all the outdated packages on a dev machine.

I suppose it will also be good for devs who just like the RHEL environment but don't need a super stable, outdated packages.
