I was able to password reset my ancient ebay account by recreating my old email on yahoo that I had deleted 10 years ago. This impersonation issue is a real problem because I used it to get back into that old ebay account.

On an related personal anecdote -- if you ever want to feel what's it's like to open your mouth in a vacuum and get a taste of what it would be like to do so in space (save the lack of any heat) you can always do what I did by accident as a kid: Swim in a pool that has a flexible plastic (in this case, a thin-bubble wrap sort of material) sheet floating over half of the pool, swim under part of the covered area, and then stand up out of the water. The sheet will lift up, but there will be no air whatsoever. Open your mouth, and find all of the air in your lungs immediately sucked out with no way to take a breath -- pretty horrifying if you're not expecting it...
verb-object / object-verb is more specific in the context of this story, yes. And indeed, when you introduce indirect objects or other fanciness, additional dimensions of complexity can be introduced (GUIs, for instance, can have ambiguity in terms of whether object-verb-indirect_object is represente by click-command-click or modclick-modclick-command).

This is incorrect. When you take realistic (some people call it pessimistic) view on situation, you are disappointed initially, but when it finally happens, you are already fine - "told ya so!" and move on.
This isn't an answer to how they might monetize this service and quite frankly I've seen the OP/Co-Founder post their "answer" to this question on multiple other comments and it's extremely hand-wavy. I currently have little to no faith that this product isn't going to leave anyone that uses it stranded in a year or so when they have to shutdown due to lack of revenue.

I don’t understand why this shit should exist at all. If you’re a smart home company your objective is to serve the client (the property manager) who in turn wants the technology to benefit the homeowner. Why is “marketing” even involved?
The selection processes for the real Nobels differ significantly in their organization, for what it's worth, though it's mostly Peace vs all the others... In particular, for the Peace prize the Norwegian Parliament appoints a 5-person committee that then selects the prize winner, while for the others various Swedish academic institutions select a committee that then proposes laureates back to a larger body that votes on them.
Offline backups.

A ransomware can technically encrypt all drives, steal password from cloud backup software, and destroy it too. Or they can be destroyed by uploading encrypted files. No software can destroy data on a hard drive that's disconnected and unpowered. Only I can.

Sometimes it feels like the conventional wisdom is that open source is struggling for a business model. But despite the competition from AWS, MongoDB is now a public company worth $7 billion. Quarterly revenue is $90 million. It seems like they have found a decent business model, to me.

The formula: make popular open source software, get an audience of people who happily use that software, sell related services to that audience.
Not as I understand it. It uses DNS resolution, so you connect to something like foo.web.service.consul. Kubernetes's KubeDNS works exactly the same way with Kubernetes service objects.
This looks pretty awesome, even at this stage. I’d love the ability to write workflows in other languages (particularly Python), but understand that this seems pretty early-stage at this point and that might already be on the roadmap.

Out of curiosity, are you hiring? I’d be interested in hearing what your longer-term plans are and am looking for something new. This seems right up my alley.

ETA: I see from the article that Python is indeed coming. I’d love to be a part of that!
Totally right move! I'd rather see genital enhancement ads than those disgusting, immoral donation links.
The article is C++, so not sure why you are bringing up AOT/JIT since it doesn't apply here. And clearly there is a large gain possible by doing a calculation rather than a conditional with a high entropy result, otherwise, the article's mentioned speedup wouldn't have happened. A PGO feedback loop isn't going to do anything on a high entropy conditional. I saw a great talk at CppCon 2019 by Andrei Alexandrescu about speeding up std::sort. He does this same trick among others to speed up the C++ std library sort routine.

I would like to suggest a tremendously simple (4) : Every day, each employee spends no more than 5 minutes reporting what they did the prior day, and what they are planning to work on that day. If they're blocked by anything, they can mention that and ask for assistance.

I just finished working on a fully remote contract that worked that way, every day at noon there was a conference call that never took longer than 15 minutes. It worked great. A couple manager types were on the call, and they'd share any developments on the contract side of things, feedback from the customer, things like that, but mostly they just listened and took note of potential issues and made sure they got resolved (so like if you mentioned a problem one day then didn't the next, they'd ask if it got dealt with).

But we find all of these things in other -isms too. As bad as capitalism's record is on all of these things-- human experimentation, unsustainable schemes yielding false returns, colonialism and aggression, environmental abuses--- the comparable record in fascism and communism and authoritarianism does not look great either.

It's not just hitting the vacuum tube. If one just trips for the sake of tripping, then there is not much to be gained except for several hours of happy serotonin hits in the brain.

However, what we know about psychs is that there is a huge release of BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) and a shutdown of the DMN.

The BDNF enables a ton of new neural connections to be built. It's like you have about 6-8 hours of a period where your brain plasticity goes back to that of an infant, just absorbing everything. So in this accelerated learning state, it's possible to work through one's emotions.

So it makes sense to prepare for several weeks to receive therapy and to outline goals and memories to revisit to process them during this heightened period. Then when the drug wears off, you're still left with the new neural connectivity and perspectives and the other benefits that were derived from the session.

Rather than hitting the vacuum tube, this is more like re-running the radio scanner in your car to find radio stations when you've moved over to a new city and the old radio stations are now out of range while one isn't tuned to the current set of radio stations.

Chicago, USA, had similar urban "renewal" woes, resulting in the construction of high-rise housing projects (called housing estates in Scotland). The Robert Taylor Homes were a particularly egregious example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Taylor_Homes

They were demolished in the early 21st century. But, unfortunately, Chicago remains a city where it's a vast dangerous struggle to live in poverty.

'twould be interesting to compare Glasgow's sectarianism with Chicago's racism, to see whether ways of mitigating one could mitigate the other.
Rivers have limited bridges. I live in a city divided by a river (I suspect a large number of those reading this do as well: rivers attract cities for various reasons), most streets just end at the river even though both sides are very developed. If I want to cross the river there is are 5 bridges in the 15 miles of river frontage the city covers (then nothing for many more miles either way). There is great demand to get across the river, we are a tiny city and so the only traffic congestion is getting to the river crossing, but the cost of getting over the river is high enough nobody can justify building another bridge.

I don't know SF, but my guess is that market street will have more crossing than our rivers.
How about stop pretending like we don't have enough land in the Bay Area. The entire population of the bay area could live within the borders of San Jose, with room for a million more, if it were built at the density of Paris. Land Use is the problem, not quantity.

I do not owe you another 7.5 hours of work. I owe you the job being done, not the hours it should take to do it.

Yeah, but what you are feeling with the "click" is not directly physical. Turn your computer completely off (not just power off, but like, "hold the power button" hard shutdown, and that "click" will stop happening.
My own (anecdotal) experience with magic mushrooms underlines this. When I used magic mushrooms I was still a smoker. While on magic mushrooms, I felt much less need to smoke, and when I did it tasted less good. FWIW, artificial sweetened candy also tasted horrible. Also, Zyban (Bupropion) had a similar effect on me regarding smoking cessation aid.
From your past experience, do you have anything constructive to tell this new team on how they can attempt to build a business without knowing the future that would make you more comfortable using it?

I ask because I see a lot of these dismissive comments on HN which end with "open source it" - and that doesn't seem like a super constructive piece of advice to a new startup team.

FWIW, at my current company, an analytics company, about five years ago, we made it clear that no matter what data we collected, if you leave the service or we shut down, we will get you all that data to take with you in a very reasonable format.

It's always risky to invest in a new service, but sometimes risks bring great rewards, and I think it's helpful if you're giving input, to try to make it constructive.

Calling these changes "improvements" is a stretch. Still flat, still dreary. They should have at least gone for a "Flat 2.0" look [1]. Flat 2.0 is is mostly flat, but it makes use of subtle shadows, highlights, and layers to create some depth in the UI. This is definitely not Flat 2.0. Look at that button. Looks almost like a disabled text input. Dreadful.

I think it’s appropriate to try something else when you’ve tried therapy, support groups, etc. Sometimes the best thing one needs especially when they’ve been focused on changing their mind and habits for a long while is something to open up all the calcified pathways.

Kubernetes' networking would arguably have been less complex (multiple CIDR subnets, proxying, etc.) if they'd embraced IPv6. But Google doesn't seem big on IPv6.

It would be silly to think this will actually come to fruition - 30k satellites would represent a 3000% increase in the number of active satellites in LEO, which is already by far the most congested orbital altitude.

> When you open source something, you are basically volunteering to write code

thank you for the opportunity to clarify...

YOU - an individual coder;
OpenSource - a publication with license for others;
Write Code - specialized skills with high literacy;
Volunteering - social arrangement with time and resources.

You - Write Code - OpenSource => volunteering

when code is made OpenSource, the origins of the code over time are due to more than one person

when code is made OpenSource, benefits are primarily to systems, less so to the individual

to understand the decision to make OpenSource code, the systems that benefit extend to Five Areas (for example, to quote https://paulfuhlir.com/ ) .. listed above

does that make it clearer ?
> Is there a set of neutrino masses that is minimally-illuminating of physics beyond the standard model?

There are no neutrino masses at all in the Standard Model. You can put them in by hand, but then you break half the nice ideas used to construct the Standard Model in the first place. Or you can put them in more properly, but then there are perhaps hundreds of distinct ways to do it, and we don't know which one is realized in nature. In other words, the state we're at with neutrinos is roughly where we were at with everything else in the 1960s. In some sense neutrinos have been "new physics" for decades -- we didn't understand them 30 years ago and we don't now.

As for specific mass measurements, there are theories that predict exceptionally nice values for the neutrino mass, but also plenty that don't have any such order. It's certainly possible that knowing all the neutrino masses to high precision wouldn't help at all. After all, we know the quark masses to high precision, and that precision hasn't helped us find an origin for the pattern in their masses. We just have to take them as free parameters.

An alternative that some libertarians seem to like is the land value tax, as proposed by Henry George.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax

It has the problem that if you think existing property rights in land are legitimate, instituting it looks like a massive expropriation. Also, you can't avoid getting priced out of your home by buying it.

It apparently has some pretty large economic efficiency and incentive benefits.
