> WeWork, Bankers Have Discussed Laying Off One-Third of Workforce (theinformation.com)

If you, the reader, have an offer from WeWork, I suggest you ask for a bigger paycheck (like real money, not funny money) for all this uncertainty.
This was an incredible read for me! I've always wanted to write a game from scratch, but never quite found the time - and it's a bit daunting if you don't know where to start.

Really appreciate the commentary, details and code snippets!
You might find the website leafly.com interesting. I found it while developing a website for a company. They list different types of cannabis & their effects based on what it contains.
It's loading favicon.ico, which redirects to favicon.ico/ which returns some kind of html page (larger than the / page itself!), so that seems misconfigured.
Thanks for the reply...

But that's really not a plain English reading of their statement:

"To date, Apple has invested over $1 billion in American companies from its Advanced Manufacturing Fund — deploying the entire $1 billion initial investment and 20 percent of the $5 billion it subsequently committed to spend."

"Apple has deployed the entire $1B and 20% of $5B."

Is there a part of the sentence I'm missing which implies your reading is correct?

Rephrasing: I suspect you're right about reality, and the sentence I quoted was written by someone who didn't understand the reality, or was trying to misrepresent reality.
As nice as this goal is, I think the RAIL model's benchmarks are a bit more realistic:

Only thing missing is a plan to get as much of these billions out of the company into your own pocket then, I guess. Not that stupid from a purely self-serving perspective. Ignores every aspect of corporate governance and business ethics, so. Not that SoftBank seems to care if they can get an IPO.
You do need data, though. And if you don't have a lot of customers, or a lot of skus, or a lot of transactions -- you probably don't have a lot of data.
Why would someone invest in a company that hired 5000 people more than it needed? Doesn't that suggest incompetence at the highest levels?

Even if you accept that it's the right decision, the lack of consequences for people that previously made such an apparently idiotic one seems astounding.
12 years ago I put a TI-84 emulator on my Nintendo DS and used that instead.

It was novel at the time and professors enjoyed it but it was short-lived as they soon mandated that calculators cant have an internet connection so that students couldn't cheat on tests.

I’m sure if I was in college now I would learn or create other tricks.
Make sure to look over the reviews on Glassdoor or Indeed. Sure those things are full of people with axes to grind but in the case of WeWork, you'll notice a suspiciously strong trend in the reviews. Almost like the place is a shitshow internally.
to be fair "data scientist" means different things to different companies, and for some may be just synonymous with "business analyst" but sounds cooler
I think it is clear they have to write it down anyway in any reasonable accounting.
> where investors can look at that company and think it's a good and growing investment to sustain their public pension or hedge fund returns

I have literally not heard a single investor say anything positive about WeWork. It's probably the most negative sentiment I've ever heard pre-IPO-- granted, I've only been actively investing for a short while.
> As a Swedish speaker, I get this deeply rooted feeling of righteous indignation about not understanding spoken Danish. I'm only half-joking.

I have a Swedish friend who described Danish speakers as sounding "like they're speaking Swedish with rocks in their mouths"
...you've never read much labor history, have you?

Business has the power to do all of those things. And has _frequently_ exercised that power through out history.

The fact that it isn't right now (or is to a lesser and less obvious degree) is the result of government exercising its power to keep business in check. Those laws that government is still (half heartedly) enforcing are a hold over of a time when the people had more control of the government, and business less.

...also, while we're here... what cultural interests are opposed to your very existence? Genuinely curious. As someone of Jewish heritage, I'm well familiar with ideologies opposed to my very existence, but I'm curious what specific interests you're referring to and on what basis you believe they are opposed to your existence.
This is great! I read this immediately after writing and sharing a blog post on HN
Hi there, one of the Pi-hole Devs here. This is something we are very much looking into. Take a look at this PR[1] for more details!

I think this is what successful communication should do: try to link to information beyond the actual words used. So in the example of “is there something else you want to talk about”, you might be pointing to a specific thing inside the thoughts of the person opposite and even if they didn’t even think about it, you speaking these words can literally materialize it inside their head.
I sometimes think the fears of abuse are overblown... people would choose to spend $100 to prevent $10 of abuse. It should obviously be taken into consideration, but eliminating abuse should not be the #1 goal.

I have similar numbers. 90% of the blocked requests I see come from 3 apps that are particularly diligent about submitting metrics. 2 phones have outlook installed and boy does outlook hate when metrics fails! Those phones alone account for half of the DNS requests in a network with about 15 devices, despite being out of the house for 9 hours every day.

Seems like a highly nihilistic view of the world. Not everyone can afford the risk of trying to make it as an entrepreneur in the present moment, but to say that means they aren't or shouldn't be interested in it is a bit depressing, no?
“Happiest Baby on The Block” (DVD) was a blessing for having a few simple steps that generally work to calm down a newborn when none of the usual suspects like hunger, burping, poop, etc are causing it.

But really the best advice you're going to get is sleep when they sleep. Don't try to "catch up" on work or whatever when your newborn is asleep, you'll regret it. Get rest, take a lot of deep breathes, enjoy your little one sleeping in your arms when you can. It only last a while.

FWIW my brother carries around a little Raspberry Pi with all his Linux dev stuff on it and uses that when he wants to work on his hobby projects using the iPad. One big advantage is he can use the same thing with a Chromebook or phablet or whatever is handy, since he's just ssh-ing in.

I've thought about doing the same, but it just kinda irks me that I have this insanely powerful and robust tablet-form computer with good security, and I can't even have the equivalent of a Docker container. So instead I mosh into a Digital Ocean droplet and grind my teeth whenever the café's WiFi drops out. :-(
YC funds the company with $150K. You're expected to pay yourself out of that. If you're in Mountain View or Sunnyvale (next to the YC offices), minimum wage is $15/hour = $30K/year. If you really scrimp that's enough for ~2 years, though I think most YC companies are expected to raise more at Demo Days.

It's not a lot of money, but it's more than many grad students make.

Also, most of the colleges that YC presumably recruits out of (Stanford etc.) are free to people whose parents make < $100K/year. You typically don't hold a lot of debt coming out of these elite institutions - either your education is fully paid for by grants, or you come from a social class where your parents will have had assets to pay in full.

Many of the people in your stats simultaneously hold other conservative or centrist values that both parties supported 15 years ago, like being strict on illegal immigration, crime, and late-term abortion. A large number are proud gun owners. Many union workers who like tariffs are now finding that the mainstream left has abandoned such policies in favor of soft negotiating stances on free trade deals. Remember the anti-globalism Seattle WTO protests? It wasn't conservatives doing the marching.

For their variance from the new zeitgeist they are currently being labeled racists, sexists, etc. Would you stay consistent with your argument, call them liberal, and accept them knowing that? Not many do, especially not liberal politicians and media, which is why they are voting the other way.

They didn't leave their values behind, the liberal party did.

Too vague, not actionable, no context.

More useful:

People can often respond to things within a few frames (1/60 second = 16ms). For some interactions, it's useful to respond within one frame. For others, more latency is acceptable. For yet others, sub-frame latency is required (e.g. VR/AR). Light can move ~3,000 miles in that time, which is a hard limit on latency.

Many students end up with 100k+ dollars in debt. How do you suppose these stanford kids end up with 100k in the bank?
Yes, I believe that as well (though I also don't think it means we should fully ignore actual abuse).

You'll often see the perception/possibility of abuse touted as a reason to replace many/all of these situation-dependent welfare programs with a Universal Basic Income, where there is much less to abuse and thus less need to police it.
author here.. thanks for mentioning this.. try to fix this as we speak.. does it still appear wonky?
downvotes don't (mostly don't) imply disagreement, except for some hot button topics. which for better or worse this one is.

in this case i would tend to think it's appropriate, whether or not they were given for the right reasons. your nitpick only serves to detract from substantive conversation.

nitpicks (other than security nits, which tend to be substantive) and typo corrections are highly discouraged here.
Ghidra 9.1
E6 is an interesting case

It's freaking heavy at 2t. It's not that small or aerodynamic. It's battery pack is definitely behind leaders in net capacity.

What makes it run that long is that they don't overprovision the battery that much, so much more of those 60kwh is available for driving.

In addition to that, BYD uses PM BLDC motors that are better than induction motors at doing regen at low and very low speeds, which is much more important for city driving.

Add to this that their battery and electronics can take more regen current, and do it more efficiently.
As the parent of a 9th grader taking Alegbra 2, I can tell you that I was a little surprised that I had to buy a TI graphing calculator nearly identical to the TI-81 (?) I had in the late '80s/early '90s. My old blue one died at some point long ago, but it got me through a lot of courses. I later fell in love with an HP 48X during college which I still have and recently demonstrated how it works to my daughter. We still bought her the TI for school because it makes sense the way every soldier having the same rifle makes sense.

TI had smart marketing and sales teams. The article is a hit piece that isn't well deserved because while yes, they did corner their market, they also did a ton of outreach to schools and teachers and that is badly needed when school districts struggle so hard to deal with technology on tight budgets. The retro tech doesn't bother me at all, it is actually welcome. Math hasn't changed. If the approach works, keep using it! I'm not so sure about the lobbying aspect of it, but all corporations lobby on their own behalf. It's a tried and true method of maximizing profits.
That's interesting, but kinda makes sense since it would be optimizing specific access patterns by translating it to relational models rather than using the normal graph walking algs to find relations.

As an anecdote for one project, while trying to speed up some neo4j queries myself, I decided to model a binary tree structure in the nodes (child/parent relations) and then compared the query times for using the simple cypher queries vs cypher queries with some embedded lib functions that would walk the tree exactly the way I wanted. The times were much faster for something that I hadn't even optimized much code wise.

The test got me thinking that if I could have a way of declaring more info about how the relationships are related, then maybe we could automatically have the db use more appropriate algs for a more appropriate data structure for certain node types. I think that's similar to what's happening here, it's automatically mapping out the simple graph relations to structured relational db tables.
I hope in the future we'll be able to provide more input to that as well (or at least I haven't seen something like this yet). Let me annotate my schema to specify my parent/child relationship as a tree, or my word map nodes form a trie but the leaves should be some other type. Why can't we think of a db as having multiple datatypes beyond just a kv-store, or table, or graph?
Did you confuse HN for Breitbart?
Step 1: Take an idea that already exists and try to make it hip and cool

Step 2: Come up with a business name that starts with "i", "we", "me", "face", "my", "yes", "go", or "insta", and ends with a word representing the product. Or start with a word representing your product and end it with a things like "hub", "beat", "bot", "desk", "X" or "r". Or just misspell an existing word.

Step 3: Create an atmosphere that's superficially new, hip, open-minded, on-demand, and "with it". Wildly exaggerate how your business is going to disrupt things, going as far as to claim that you want to transform your business into a global village that everyone will want to live in. Insist that everyone will want to live and work on a YesBizz campus, drink YesBizz coffee, and eat YesBizz pancakes. Remember, you aren't just a business; you're a way of life.

Step 4: Go mad with investor money. Expand as much as you can while there are no consequences and checks are flying. Channel your inner megalomaniac. The bigger your business makes itself, the more investors will believe in it and the harder it will be for them to pull out. You're on track if you've got offices on every continent, even in countries that don't actually demand your product.

Step 5: Once reality begins knocking at the door, it's time to let out one of your first death shrieks by announcing an IPO valued more than most Silicon Valley unicorns. Just ride this one out and if things don't work out you can resign with a sweet golden parachute. If you did everything right, you'll still end up with a lot more money in your bank account than when you started, even if your empire is now burning down.
You are misinterpreting what I said. I'm not talking about someone else impersonating RHEL. Canonical has no issue with its OS out in the market. RHEL could just be free to use (with updates but without other support) if they choose. This is how it used to be before it became RHEL anyway. Hence, CentOS was created as an outsider effort. Nowadays, CentOS is half inside RH, which is why the distinction is a bit silly.

However, upon thinking a bit more, their current strategy still makes business sense since RHEL and CentOS are silos. While the sets of users that pay for support and the ones that don't are different, if they started giving updates for free, it reduces their bargaining power in general and more so when time comes to renew support. Right now, if you stop paying for support, you cannot use RHEL any more and it won't get updates.

I agree. These ads exist (I do see them a lot in Search) but at a much lower proportion than other places. The reason is it's a quantity game and it's much more expensive to buy ads for irrelevant keywords whereas display ads aren't like that.

Podcasts are free.

Let me repeat that: PODCASTS. ARE. FREE.

I hate ads as much as the rest of you, but how the eff does anyone on HN expect brilliant, creative, and hard-working podcast creators to earn a living? (there are truly some podcast gems out there).
The ultimate lesson is that very few people, even those who seem wildly successful have any idea what they are doing.

This is why narcissist and people who are overconfident to the point of absurdity often excel and business at life. No body else has any idea what they are doing, their competitors mostly have no idea what they are doing, and they are willing to project that they know what they are doing unconditionally which is attractive to many people.

So people follow them.

You can if the old version is still being signed by Apple.

For example with the iPad Air 2 both iOS 12.4.1 and iPadOS 13.1 are currently being signed by Apple so you can downgrade for the time being. When will stop signing 12.4.1? Who knows.

Yeah the pattern of:

There are maybe just some good ideas out there that aren't meant to be unicorns, but are productive none the less but they get buried in other expectations.
Wow, great comment Nate that was rewarded with some equally eye opening advice for you to look into. I’d like to echo your message of some type of elimination diet being a valuable experience for anyone. I did the Whole 30 as well and it truly is amazing to discover how what you eat can have such a profound effect on how you feel. As I write that it seems so silly and obvious but until you really get a “reset” it’s easy to get used to feeling pretty average to lousy.
