Yeah, there are always going to be pricing shenanigans because people are not willing to pay the actual costs.

The actual costs of an ISP are the $1MM one time cost to dig up the streets in your neighborhood, and an ongoing cost of electricity for their datacenter, Juniper licenses, peering, customer support, etc. The problems the ISPs have is that no customer is going to pay that one time cost, so they have to figure out some way to make you pay it without that $1MM bill the first month.

I have worked for two ISPs and the internal debate is always around figuring out how to do this. At the last place I worked, our install costs were relatively low; the city already built tunnels under the streets for fiber, so it is financially viable for someone to just pay the ISP to run the fiber, and then pay the incremental costs. It is certainly not free (everyone wants their cut, including the building that you're already paying rent to), but is the kind of money that a medium-sized business or a condo co-op could find if they were so inclined. Individuals have no chance of finding the money, though, so something has to give.

(Where I'm going with this, is that paying per bit does seem reasonable to me. It's what AWS does; if you want to lower your bill, send fewer bits. But it's still a bit of a hack, not reflective of the actual costs. The first bit you send over your line costs a million dollars, but the rest are practically free. You're just paying to keep some routers powered on, and for them to be upgraded when other customers want to send more bits.)

Being able to sell your browsing history is one way to cover the infrastructure costs, but it's unfortunately not a workable idea because as we've seen, companies like Google and Cloudflare can just obscure that data from the ISP.

I hate to be all pro-government, but can you imagine how inefficient it would be if UPS, Fedex, and the USPS all had to build nationwide road networks in order to be able to deliver packages to your house? Instead, the government built the roads, and it made the economy stronger. Being able to drive to work or have someone send you a package from across the country is quite valuable. I don't see any reason why the last-mile Internet shouldn't be built that way; the city can get traffic to a peering point, and from there, you can pick what ISP you want to connect you to the actual Internet. But unfortunately, we half-assed that, instead paying private companies to built the last mile, and now they want to milk their nearly-free infrastructure. The idea of Internet to the home is a mature one, and the reality of a mature business is that it becomes a commodity, and that is going to drive profits down. Comcast, Spectrum, etc. should all be finding new ways to make money, and the easy one, "spy on our customers", is not viable. Sorry, investors. Too bad for you.
I think Tesla has shown that if the current car makers don't get on the electric bandwagon fast enough, they are going to be left behind.
> Someone who does burocracy and orga, but hasn't any power and the power is exercied in some way by all of the team members.

I worked at a company that tried this, more or less. It worked well for a few months, until the bad apple employees realized that managers had no power to correct their bad behavior. Then it become a free for all.

Counterintuitively, it created far more bureaucracy than ever before as people started hoarding information, refusing to grant access to shared resources, claiming others' work as their own, and other selfish behaviors.

Bureaucracy is largely reflected through managers, but this experience taught me that bureaucracy isn't necessarily created by the managers. The power structures will organically assemble themselves as people compete for what they think are limited opportunities for raises, promotion, and advancement.

Having healthy management in place to deal with formalized and visible bureaucracy is much better than letting the bureaucracy grow organically in the shadows while pretending it doesn't exist.
I don't know why this factual statement should be voted down; even Jerry has said as much.
Some things remain as well. Such as references to where you learned the thing, the ability to pattern match (Oh this is a problem of form X, which is listed in textbooks A,B and C. I don't remember how to solve it, but I used to. Therefore given that I know I'm capable of solving it, as I've done it before, I know the problem type, and I know where to study it, I'm confident to tell you I can solve it in two weeks."

I agree although news organizations try to have bright line rules as much as they can. You're right that there is still a lot of flexibility within those lines but certainly some manipulations that would generally be considered fine in an art photo (e.g. editing out distracting objects that aren't relevant to the main subject) are strictly verboten in photojournalism.
You're right, it is all manual for now. I do like the idea of some sort of import, but it's intended for a more general audience. I'm not sure my mom would figure out how to create and then import a CSV.
I think that marketing is one of the main advantages of selling into a very niche market - I really do no explicit marketing at all. I've spoken at various Clojure conferences, appeared on Clojure-related podcasts etc but I've never run a single ad for Cursive. Just by being active in the community (which I would do anyway, it's just part of my job) people hear about it, and it doesn't take much SEO for Cursive's website to appear when someone searches for "Clojure IDE".

Re: sales tax, it is indeed mind-bogglingly complex these days, and really requires using a provider who handles it for you. This is Stripe's biggest limitation and the single reason I'm not using them. I use Paddle, who I've mostly been very happy with. If I were really dead set on using Stripe I'd have to use it in conjunction with something like Taxamo, but that looks like a hassle I don't need and would be more expensive than what I'm paying Paddle now anyway.
That's my sense of it too. A ~decade of tinkering with this modular architectural approach is effectively an evolutionary process, plus perhaps valuable input from a once-a-generation expert like Keller, results in leapfrogging the current state of the art.

The key, as you say, was surviving an unpredictable amount of time till the tinkering paid off.
JFK runway construction : https://thepointsguy.com/2017/03/jfk-runway-construction-201...
I went from two BEVs to a BEV and a PHEV. One day while I was waiting for the 6th time that day at a glacial refueling rate of "20 miles of range in 5 minutes" with my BEV on a road trip from Seattle to Salt Lake City, I realized that what I value from a plug-in battery is the "full tank" every morning when I pull out of my garage. What I value from gas is the "400 miles of range in 5 minutes" when on a road trip. Suddenly it became abundantly clear that a PHEV was the only thing that made sense for me for a car I use on occasional road trips.
Used car prices are practically always in freefall. You can expect a car to depreciate by over 60% in a decade, even more if it's driven often. I don't expect this to radically change. As demand for gassers lowers, so will the rate of new gassers being purchased, and equilibrium will be kept. As for the really old gas cars on the road- those will maintain their value because we are a long way away from electric cars being competitive on a sub $5000 price point.

I had the same feeling. I now use Dropbox in conjunction with iCloud photos, time machine and backblaze. I wasn’t a huge fan of the google drive client, but I loved insync (not affiliated, just a fan) since it worked on Mac/windows/Linux.

I tried out one drive before going to Dropbox and had huge issues withy the client on my Mac, my windows box, and just in general. The selective sync support was atrocious and kept getting into conflicts with the directories on the drive and refusing to sync then duplicating folders.

I also checked out iCloud Drive, but there’s no selective sync option and there’s some large directories I keep in cloud storage that I don’t need on my laptop.
They do try to make them weird-looking. The BMW i3 was bonkers. All I want is a regular Golf or Golf wagon that can go 160 miles or so on a charge.

Awesome! I had been doing this via signal-cli, but their aren't great tools for working with Signal's API programatially and my solution was quite hacky.

I think the important question to answer is actually why should you produce good docs. Is it to inboard new devs quicker? To help experienced devs find information faster? To act as a first line of support to reduce questions from third parties using your API? Maybe a bit of everything?

It'll vary from project to project depending on the audience. There's no such thing as definitively "good docs" that would work for everyone, but you certainly can make good docs for a given project if you know what your audience needs. Ask that question first.
Do 99% of people actually share your view, though? For example, if we went by HN comments, we’d assume there’s no way anyone would ever buy a MacBook with a Touch Bar. People don’t seem to mind being abused when they aren’t wise enough to perceive the abuse.
Looks like kind of a standard boring Honda to me. What sets it apart for you?
The central I/O die does not have any cache on it. L3 caches are shared across just 4 cores in a CCX (not even CCD).

IIRC the next generation of Ryzen will introduce CCD or even I/O die caches. I think one of Intel's Broadwell chips had L4, so it's the same idea.
No, in order to get linear time, they used an algorithm which requires exponential space. Once you add a few more qubits that breaks down too.
You'd be surprised (or perhaps not) at the amount of drivers who use their mobiles too while they drive.
This can’t be true, because most of the dorky features of these cars are definitely not affecting structure/auerodymanics etc.
I’m with you, I’ll go out of my way to avoid the max after this. I just don’t trust that plane is safe to fly.
This is a good point. And unfortunately, in a long-lived language the network effect means you have almost no hope of moving a whole community over to a new language at once. Just look at what happened (or rather, didn't happen) with Python 2 libraries. And that was a less-old and less-permeated language than C(++).

So maybe instead of "rewrite it in Rust", the answer is "build a new solution in Rust that meets the needs of a community of people who already use Rust".

Possible? Technically.

Bulldozer's failure was really one of market positioning. It would have been much better received if the CMT modules had been presented as a single, dual-threaded core, positioned against an Intel HTed core, rather than as two separate cores.
I agree with you on the need to move towards mass transit but I disagree that more miles driven ~ more accidents. Level 4/5 automation will have the net effect of reducing the amount of accidents on the road.

Edit: clarified argument
Solid is not the first effort in this area, but the timing w.r.t. consumer sentiment and legislation, combined with the clout of TimBL, does make it feel like it has a serious shot at success.

Totally agree. The amount of times I see pedestrians just go into a crosswalk with zero regard of their personal safety. 9/10 times, they are zoned into their phone.
Was it under warranty? Old cars being unreliable may make VW a questionable choice for some, but what I'm talking about are brand new cars with a factory defect that makes them unsafe to drive. It's roughly equivalent to the ignition key fiasco GM faced a few years ago (or at least that is my take based on the limited information I have).

2. How did you learn UI/UX/Web design?
2. Do you place a heavy focus on making your product or companies’ product accessible to the visually impaired?

(Note: I’ve been google searching this topic for most of my day, and all I found were articles on making your website accessible to the blind or visually impaired friendly, and some on blind developers, but no web designers. This is a good Ask HN that dived into blind developers with links to some fascinating articles - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18478776)

One of my former lab mates was doing his thesis on some fluorescent cancers screening stuff, somewhat similar.

To illustrate this he'd explain it wasn't like finding a needle i a haystack, but more like trying to find a 20-gauge needle in a Walmart filled with 19-gauge needles.

>Bio-sectors don't pay software engineers enough to compete with the tech sector (almost no one does), and bio-experts are generally not good enough at it.

I've a fair amount of programming (enough to be really dangerous), so other students would come to me with help every once in a while. One of my friends getting his PhD in neuroscience traded a case of beer for an afternoon in helping him. He was doing some vision research with gerbil and was trying to time neuron spikes with some images on a screen. By the 32nd nested 'if statement', I requested another case of beer.

Generally, research-grade programming and software is, at best, spaghetti. At worst, you get answers that you think are right, but are wildly off. You can really lie to yourself, and the rest of the world, when you publish those errors as facts. Most grad students are learning programming by the seat of their threadbare pants, and it shows.
Even better, demand your money back. With interest. Mention specific numbers so it's easy for them to add up between you and me.

They'll point to some time limited policy. So it won't matter, you won't actually get your money back. But an increase in customer support volume making this same "free market" demand should raise eyebrows on their end.

In Los Angeles. Looking for a tech lead co-founder and roommate at the same time

I’ve been working on a mobile app since 2014 when I became fed up with $300 badge scanners at trade shows while in a tech sales position. It’s pivoted towards a short-and-sweet point-and-click cloud organizer for business cards and contact data syncing and is built with the Azure OCR computer vision API in mind for signal processing. It’s in the Apple App store called Sales-Linked (rebranding to Slink or Slinked). I’ve been searching for a tech lead for the software development team in Armenia and for rapid prototyping while going to market (beachhead is professional networking events such as Network after Work).

About me: From Sunnyvale, son of an immigrant who was in the start-up scene in the 80’s. Been in LA since 2010. Dropped out of my Graduate Program at USC in Biomedical Engineering to join the LED lighting manufacturing world. Currently busy growing TopGrow Lighting with my co-founder and high school friend (who still lives in Sunnyvale) manufacturing LED lamp replacements for marijuana cultivation, and my personal brand on Instagram as an arts & culture writer (@jhazani)

I’ve been the crash test dummy for the app while doing the field sales of TopGrow and have found it indispensable with all the contacts I gain as a necessity of being customer-facing. But it falls short as a full product with the necessary features of contact filtering and above all else: OCR scanning and data exporting.

I think what the parent is suggesting is that unless those drivers are driving onto the sidewalk, it wouldn't matter if the pedestrians chose to cross only when a driver was incapable of hitting them, regardless of whether that driver is looking or not. While it is incredibly irresponsible to use a phone and drive (and they should rightly be elevated in sentence should an accident occur), it's also very important to take responsibility for your own safety and not put yourself in life-threatening danger in the first place.
