Its more incredible to me that YC would be so interested in the business prospects of new graduates that they would process-ize a system to invest in them. That's not to say that new graduates can't create successful businesses, but they're certainly more rare than experienced founders given the strongest signal for the success of a very young business is the past success of the founders.

But, also, maybe YC just knows that 95% of these investments won't yield huge returns, $150k is pennies, they like the PR, and maybe 1 or 2 of them will actually go big and make it worth it.
I've tried to keep a daily journal of sorts so many times in so many different formats. The one that I seem able to stick to the most is specifically for software development. It's just a markdown file with a top level bulleted list, one entry per day, and a sublist for the things I did that day.

I'm not super consistent with it, but this post is making me want to put more effort into it. As Derek says, I'm not writing for me today, I'm writing for future me.

Peter Thiel on “The Straussian Moment”
The first thing that came to mind (maybe due to mentioning stochastic) is MITx's https://micromasters.mit.edu/ds/ Masters in Data Science. It's statistics, but 102. (Of the alternative MIT 6.0002, which is MIT's intro to DS stat class.)

I take it you've done Discrete Mathematics and have enjoyed it? If you haven't, I highly recommend going that direction first, as imho it is the most beneficial math class a programmer can take in college.
This is also how God forgets it is the entire fucking universe so that it can have a human experience and come to know itself.

> The truth about Saudi oil potential and reserves will eventually come out. And when it does, the global oil market will get the shock of its life with a horrendous global oil crisis to match.

I'm skeptical. Maybe the Saudis don't have the capacity they say they do. They have the capacity that they're delivering, though, and that capacity is enough for the needs of the market...

... until some other supplier has a problem. But while the results may be a shock and a crisis, I suspect it won't quite add up to the apocalyptic terms of the quote.
Honestly, players like Rivian and NIO shouldn't try to manufacture their own cars - they should contract that out to someone who knows what they're doing and already has the capital invested in production tooling (ex. Magna). Rivian/NIO & co. are best suited to design and engineering until they reach a market threshold where it actually makes sense to spin up a dedicated factory.

Are the Democrats that unconvinced by their own candidates? Elections are coming up soon, instead of propping up their own candidates, highlighting some potential platforms, they keep putting all the attention on Trump. It makes them look extremely petty and frankly and makes it look like they have no plan to move forward.

Not entirely true. Erlang's BEAM definitely doesn't need to (unless you define "world" to be a single lightweight process). Perl6's MoarVM apparently doesn't need to, either.

> Except that the money is going back to people who are going to spend it

1. People have disposable income. With higher taxes needed for the safety net, they will have a lot less of that. Less dinners,

2. One way to measure the success of the economy is to look at GDP. Another way to look at it is how much are people making from employment. GDP may still be the same, but actual employment may be lower. So yes, it can still drive the economy, but through the lack of jobs.

Fighting SEC over Cryptocurrency, Kik Shuts Chat App
We're moving away from Kubernetes, to Aptible.

If you're asking these kinds of questions you shouldn't be using kubernetes.

If you are going to use it, be ready to have an engineer on your time be full time devops. Or be ready to hire someone who knows k8. It'll be around 110k to 140k.

But really, don't use it. The gospel you hear is from engineers who already invested their careers in it. Buyer beware.
Agreed. You really must not. No sane developer would do it. Unfortunately, there are some insane developers.
I guess you mean I'd own 40%. Agree with the fuzzy part
Instead of assuming that "content" must mean "network response", imagine some other possibilities. A full-screen gray-out box with a centered loading spinner over a YouTube thumbnail, along with the thin loading progress meter on the video's timeline is an example of a "screenful of content" that doesn't equate to the network response.
But notice that logic is nothing more than an emotional experience that your consciousness imagined, and so is your brain, brains don't actually exist.
Well, to give you an example (I'm conservative both in the social and economics), and when I posted that I was happy the abortion law was banned in my country, cheering up, Facebook flagged my post, and deleted it. On another ocasion i got banned for posting a political opinion that was pro-Trump (nothing fanatical, to be honest) and I got flagged and delete the post bymyself.

I lost 10 Twitter accounts because I argued with facts, without ad hominem. It's hard to state the truth if it goes agaisn't their bias. It's ok, it's their business.

A thread from 2017: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16035839
As someone extensively familiar with Parker hydraulics and custom machine building (for industrial automation, not fighting robots...), $2.5m is not that bad.

I spent about 1/3rd of that to build up a shaker table for heavy equipment, with nothing more than a 120HP electric hydraulic power pack and a pair of 120mm Parker hydraulic actuators, mechanical fabrication, civil engineering, associated servovalves, motion controllers, sensors, PLC/PC controls...etc. That was a static installation, not a vehicle, which costs more.

If I had to quote a competitor machine with a well-defined spec - this had none, so you're basically paying for a couple revisions of the design - I'd figure on the order of 1200 hours of mechanical engineering/CAD at $80/hr, 1600 hours of electrical engineering/programming at $100/hr, 2000 hours of skilled fabricator/machinist time at $40/hr, plus project management/purchasing/legal and other overhead, which puts you at close to $1M just in labor. It would be challenging to source the industrial lego that powers this thing for less than $1.5M; I expect that they're charging nothing for some of their labor, using cheaper materials (eg. start with used digger tracks instead of buying something off the shelf) to make this come out as low as $2.5M.
The number of hands available is rarely the problem with the bedsheets. "I screwed it up therefore I'm more qualified to tell the peons how to fix it!" is a particularly impoverished variant of argument from authority. The bedsheet-shitter is welcome to give his life whatever meaning he can through whatever means don't involve his continued access to our bedsheets.
There's a documented white paper about what it does and you can examine network traffic to determine if it's doing anything claimed. Even today, there are people that have flags and filters set up for traffic coming from these devices. I don't think there's much to worry about here but it's good to see that people are skeptical. People take their data for granted far too often.
I am aware of that. The “get off my lawn” is a reference to the fact that those of us who are older would not have had access to such modern conveniences as flash memory in high school, and that the poster is too young to be aware of TI calculators that didn’t have this feature.

Anyway I used an HP48GX throughout high school (carrying a TI83 only if absolutely necessary). The HP had a pretty much universal following in France.

IDK, when you're so dependent on others not to screw up like that, sounds like what's necessary for a systemic collapse.
You know your worth (in the moment) primarily as the felt experience of your calm-energy level. When it goes up, you’re firing on all cylinders in a non-manic way, you are at your 100%. That is a person who is experiencing their worth. If that is driven by the evaluation of others (as you perceive it), then what happens to you if you are around manipulative people who want you to behave in their best interests at the expense of your own? And since you can assume that you will generally find yourself around such people, I can tell you that narrative, ‘worth is a social construct requiring the evaluation of others’, is a path to misery.

You sure can include the opinion of others, you should to some degree as we live in a society, and our safety and support depends on other people, but you should make an assessment of the people who are making judgements on you. If you are around criminals, gaining their approval is likelier to land you in jail, which will lead to a future with diminished calm-energy. (Though if you cannot escape savage circumstances outside then maybe jail is better for you).

I'm surprised to see no mention of the classic style guide by William Strunk and E.B. White, The Elements of Style (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Style), here. Mostly because its best-known rule is Strunk's famous admonition: "Omit needless words."
>My point is that it wasn't his past behavior that lead to his forced resignation.

Maybe not directly, but I think it certainly added weight to the scales that tipped against his favor.

At the very least, Stallman's present behavior is the product of his past behavior.
Just trying it out right now and it already feels like they shot themselves in the foot by forking away from iOS.

iOS13 had for the past two weeks fixed one of the biggest annoyances in Apple's horrible keyboard UX: For people like me who type in multiple languages, the keyboard switching button cycles between "English", "Portuguese", and "Emojis". iOS13 FINALLY put a dedicated emoji button in there and after 2 weeks living with it on the iPhone, iPadOS apparently completely forgot to port this over and the feature has been taken away from me.

This is just one example out of probably a crap-ton of things that they forgot to bring along from iOS. This crap happens all the time with Database vendors too, when they try to keep a separate closed-source Enterprise version. I get that feature flags are annoying, but thinking you can manually keep two different OS codebases synced and consistent is delusional.

_On a side note, the rest of the keyboard is still a mess._

No number row (not even as an option in Settings), no hold for punctuation, but worst of all (especially if you're coming out of Gboard to try their keyboard again), Slide-to-Type is just horrible. The accuracy is SO bad, I tried typing "hello world", and not only it just couldn't understand that I was trying to type "world", it wouldn't even suggest it as an alternative, the best I got was it suggested "world's" once, and if you tap it and try to delete the "'s" it just deletes the entire word.

Not to mention that since I use two languages, it even tried portuguese words before it tried "world", even though I had the english keyboard selected (and there is no way to disable multilingual typing like there is on Gboard, even IF it worked decently). Also not being able to turn off Memojis on the Emoji keyboard... why?

I don’t believe that this much willful obliviousness actually exists here, but I’ll state the obvious anyway: the big one that you failed to realize is about the hardware.

Profitability judged at any moment in time, difficult to say. They've had a couple profitable quarters, and mostly losses in quarters. Then again, those losses are largely attributed to expanding manufacturing and tech, which presumably could fuel greater profits down the line.

At the end of the day, if we get serious about climate, Tesla is the #1 BEV company that's well positioned to actually reap the rewards of green consumers and green regulations.
On point - I don't know why so many people seem to have a hard time grasping this.

Trans-Alaskan is even slightly longer (800mi/1300km) and more importantly totally exposed - it's overground for many hundreds of miles (because you can't bury a pipeline in permafrost, it would melt the permafrost and sink the pipeline, breaking it).

Bottom line is that crazy shit happens. There is no way to mitigate all the substantial risks.
Bypassing Moore’s Law with High-Speed Photonic Computers
This comment was provocative by associating the Tesla-nay-sayers to anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers, but I think it's worth discussing, and so I vouched for it.

The author sixQuarks adds two points about difficulty in the automotive market that are level-headed and substantive. I had the same thoughts about Rivian, but if the Amazon truck deal becomes real and they can grow into the shell of another defunct car manufacturing plant, maybe they have a chance. Other replies add support about what Tesla has achieved ("make electric cars cool").

Tesla and Musk are polarizing for sure, fans and shorts abound here on HN. But I think this comment is right to highlight the irrational arguments around them, not to mention the outright hate.
"SV" isn't just a place. It's a state of mind ;)
mostly its down to them fiddling.

editors _fiddle_ but then don't take responsibility for what they've done.

The monitor issue its a two-for-one. The editor was doing a technical edit, that is matching some shots up to someone else's spec. They were proxies(as in small previews to make the machine run faster) and were not graded.

What they had done is fiddle with the room lights, because they wanted to make the room feel better. Obviously this made the monitor look more blue.

My college (who is a junior, in a junior department) gets an angry phone call because the workstation isn't up to par.

Its a lot of dick waving for no real gain.

Another fun one was in about 2009 an editor decided for a quick preview edit that it would be quicker and easier to laser out a digital shot to film, cut and splice by hand on a stienbeck, and then re-scan it in.

We had all the shots loaded on the workstation.

Not all editors are like this. but there are enough to give them a bad name.

> Bear in mind that luxury doesn’t necessarily equate to reliability, with Volvo and Land Rover falling near the bottom.
I love this. Software developers too often focus on the final end state and this distracts from the state changes in the middle of any process.

By focusing on UI responsiveness you vastly improve discoverability and interoperability because it naturally decouples the problem into a model/view/controller design. Best of all you can't mis-design: the responsiveness is your constraint, and if the design doesn't give you responsiveness you KNOW it is a poor design.

This is the ultimate quality litmus test.
RMS was objecting to the legal definition of rape (hence the reference to it varying between countries). But if you want to switch to the moral issue, then that’s even more black and white. Is it ok for a 70 year old man in a position of power to (hypothetically) have sex with a 17 year old girl? Erm, no. Can sex in such circumstances be fully consensual? No, it can’t. So if your suggestion is that RMS was making some kind of defensible moral argument, I can’t imagine what it might be.

I happen to be English so I’m familiar with the laws in England. I don’t see how any of that is relevant. The English law has cutoffs of exactly the same kind (it’s just that the relevant age threshold is usually 16 rather than 18). Obviously, no-one thinks that any such threshold can be completely non-arbitrary. It is just as "morally absurd" for sex between two 16 year olds to be legal and sex between a 16 year old and a 15 year old to be illegal. But unless - like RMS - you fail to recognize that age is a factor in consent, you have to make a cut somewhere. Apparently, from RMS's point of view, the most troubling feature of such laws is that they may prevent 70 year old Profs screwing 17 year old girls.
This technology is clearly harmful to those who participate in it. Why anybody would think the solution is to get the government involved in the farce is beyond me.
You missed the "without considering the moral implications" bit. Your house cat isn't even aware of the concept of morality, or any recognized expression of it, and will avoid eating your body mainly because it's gross.
Sounds like an interesting option to discover, considering the enterprise professional background of the project.
This seems pretty doable from a tech standpoint. Is funding really the only reason it's not being done? I think a much thornier question is the moderation policies. With broadcasting, not everyone can get air time and so there's an expectation of curation built-in. But once everyone can technically join in the conversation, keeping certain people or topics out can be a very heated conversation.
This is exactly what I was looking for in this thread. Of course it exists.
Sorry in advance. Thanks for offering this to us.
I guess that is the question, what counts as dirt?

No, the price of oil will jump to 80-100/bbl and all of the tar sands extraction will become rather profitable again and North American production will explode.

OPEC had been keeping the prices around 100 until the tar sands extraction became big and they had to drastically cut prices because they couldn't handle the loss of revenue.

There is an enormous amount of oil tied up in those tar sands and it is very extricable, but it is considerably more expensive to extract such that it isn't economical at current prices.
