Also hard to decide which is the surname to use with some names/cultures.

My native country, Norway, went through an assimilation period of standardising surnames a few hundred years ago. Before that your name often was in 3 parts:

First names(s) - father's name - farm/manor/village.

So names were something like "Ivar Ragnarsson of Torp" or "Sverre Haraldson Bjerkeli". (With the -son bit to say whether a son or daughter).

With assimilation into standard more Continental Christian Danish society and most likely standard registration for tax - people dropped either the farm name or the father's name in their names. And froze the father's name in the surname in future generations. And changed the -son to a more Danish -sen for all genders. So, since the 1700s people have just 2 parts to their names. Unlike Iceland which has kept the naming tradition.

However,... what is common again today is to have 2 surnames. One from each parent. Unhyphenated. Similar to the Spanish convention (first-name - father's surname - mother's surname) but not as standardised, and mostly opposite order with father's surname at the end being the official family surname. And that makes internationalised computer systems so complicated.

My children have both our surnames, both by choice and necessity so either of us can get through passport control with them. (mother's surname - father's surname). But they had to have their surnames hyphenated to be able to register their births and British passports. Which still angers me today as my family convention of the latter surname being the main one is now mostly ignored.
Maybe one day when they are populated by employees who grew up with dismay over the state of xplat GUI. :)

I mean even now Apple has an increased focus on services that must be accessible from everywhere: Music, TV, iCloud Drive. Surely there must be someone there who wishes they had to write most code only once for all OSes without making their app a hog.

I'd settle for just a convention; i.e. let C# remain the primary language on Windows, but introduce SwiftUI-like primitives like Text, HStack, ForEach etc.

Competition is good. It keeps you honest. The Manhattan project experienced competition, of the do-or-die type. It only was not internal, it was from the Nazis, Japan, and later the soviets.

Right now, the competition in the self-driving area is metaphorically as close to do-or-die as you can have in peace time. GM as a regular car manufacturer is toast, Cruze is pretty much their only hope. Uber is bleeding, if they pull self-driving off, they are kings. The German manufacturers are watching in disbelief as Tesla is starting to eat their pie. Conversely, Tesla knows that in what they are doing (electric cars) they don't enjoy any fundamental moat. If the Germans get their act together, they'll be able to make equally performant electric cars, but true luxury. The only one that's not really about survival is Waymo.

Great you already cut your normal 15 minute one to this. But honestly, it’s still quite long.

Of course, context matters and the context of a YC interview is an elevator pitch.

In that setting, the “tell us a little about yourself” question should probably be one or two sentences.

I’d probably answer. “My name is Tim, from the Netherlands living in Berlin with my long time partner. Second time founder in the tech space. I have a computer science background and enjoy playing the guitar.”

As always, YMMV.
'That's not my cat'
But why is it so hard to develop a new plane now, compared to patching an old one? One would think computers could make a single engineer hugely more effective nowadays than back then. Constraints, generative design, accurate simulations. Additive manufacturing, CNC machines and composites can make manufacturing a lot simpler too. Has it actually reduced any cost? Interest rates are really low too.

Is it that new planes being developed have much stricter regulations? If so, that's a problem, the incentives result in the public being less safe.

The A220 ran so much over budget that the whole program was sold to Airbus. Yet it seems like a really good airplane from what I've read. 787 and A350 were also terribly expensive.

Something similar has happened with nuclear plants. They seem to take much longer to do than way back and are so expensive to be barely profitable. A friend commented that one reason is because top talent doesn't see the nuclear industry as a "cool" thing or a viable career anymore.

There is one additional problem in airplanes and nukes. They are seen as prestige projects by governments. This makes it hard to make regular money in the industry as you always have subsidized competition.
It is a drug much like... say, broccoli is a drug. Milk before bedtime is a drug. Running is a drug. It is a drug in the same sense that anything can cause addiction and withdrawal or be unhealthy.

Caffeine is, by itself, a drug in a different sense. It causes a slight addiction and can cause slight withdrawal. It isn't all that unhealthy in itself, however, especially not in the amounts we find naturally in foods. It becomes more of an issue if one is taking caffeine pills and other such things. Eating unhealthily might be more unhealthy, honestly - even though overall, having an unhealthy diet isn't a drug.
Probably the confusion comes from the Latin word "index", whose plural is indeed "indices", although nowadays "indexes" is extremely common.
Anything that finally eradicates pieces of shit, like Dan Bilzerian, from the face of the earth is a good thing.

There is an ICAO recommendation. However, it is not unambiguous and of course it's not legally binding. So in the end every country decides what they do. (Possibly there are more multinational agreements e. g. inside EU, but I doubt there is anything truly worldwide.)

Ask HN: Why there is a rise in WiFi hotspot market?
Despite the fact that the mobile internet is more affordable nowadays, all the reports I could find online claims that the WiFi hotspot market is expanding year by year.

There is a certain increase in demand in the markets where people, before the rise of mobile internet, had to want, because there wasn't other options. i.e: cafes, restaurants, inter-city busses and etc. And right now even though the mobile internet has become more accessible and affordable, the demand in these areas still seem to be persistent and even increasing. I've talked to many people and all say the same thing: "We don't connect to WiFi in cafes or restaurants or buses anymore. We use the mobile net".

What is the reason this market is expanding? What I'm missing?

Any ideas?

>Imagine every car manufacturer having a completely different take on what a car should be like from a safety perspective. We have standards bodies for a reason

Roads are also governed by public bodies. Road signs are standardized and public.

I think the government should take a much larger role in defining self driving cars. For example, rather than using computer vision to recognize signs, signs could be active standardized beacons; instead of having to recognize lanes, they could be repainted with rfid chips that are trivial for cars to recognize and follow.

Avoiding driving into people is also something that was somewhat regulated by crosswalks with pedestrian lights. Would it be absurd for the crosswalk to know roughly how many people are at it, then broadcast this to the car, rather than having the car have to recognize them?

There are many things the government could do with transportation infrastructure that would benefit everyone, many of which are literally impossible for companies to do separately. Can you imagine if we had to wait until IBM (or Siemens or Google or Apple) got into the business of launching satellites before we got GPS? There is a good chance that to this day cell phones wouldn't know their location or give anyone any mapping applications.

To me, self driving cars are similar. Many parts of transportation are a public good.
Interesting that they don't have a full 3D world model. I'm certainly not a machine learning expert. I'm still amazed the route from image recognition to a 2D map of "what's drivable" to autonomous driving is so direct. One would expect to hit a ceiling really soon with that approach.

To me it seems we're still in really early days.

Do interviewers really want an honest answer, or just enough to label you? And if you don't want canned responses, maybe not ask such open-ended and really a bit weird questions. Be more specific. I have no idea what the interviewer want out of a question like that. Small-talk or just get warmed up with me saying my name and where I'm from? Or my life-story so far? What if I don't define myself as what I do for a living, would it be weird omitting the fact that I'm a programmer and instead tell about my hobbies? Should I divulge information about myself that you aren't allowed to ask (discrimination etc), but that I feel is me?

> Nothing diminishes the dignity of a man quite like an insult to his pride

This makes me realize how much the notion of “pride” applied to people feels such a dirty word by today’s standards.

Being proud of something, having pride in doing something is highly valued. Pride towards ourself is ridden with corrosive imagery from the cold war area, undue self boasting and narcism. I am happy with humility and openness becoming a better valued trait.
The range is much larger: OP was just being very precise in expressing the range so the manufacturing process had some extra leeway.

To me Alteryx has similar issues than Excel. Both seemt be created to create you an illusion that you know how to use the tool with minimal training/understanding.

I wonder if the French civil nuclear electricity program that led to this level of low carbon emissions, or the TGV (high speed rail system), could be good examples of what you're asking for.

Maybe the companies actually building the nuclear plants and trains and rails were actually in competition ?
It's surprising how the general public seems to rely on research instead of first hand experience. Simply change your sugar behavior for a while, see how it affects you, and those are the results you need. The body is (in general) perfectly able to tell you how beneficial a certain behavior is in the long run, as long as you are able to objectively observe the results (as far as possible).

For me, sugar in more then minimal quantities give huge ups and downs, cravings, nauseousness etc.
There is at least one advantage I believe for using Sandboxie instead of Windows Sandbox: performance.

Using Win Sandbox, Edge sandbox, Defender application guard or Docker for Windows enables Hyper-V system wide and makes your current host Windows runs inside a special VM which incur obviously a small performance impact.
If I get something that I own back, I wouldn't say that qualifies as "gaining" something.
They built complete factories for three different technologies, and finally delivered two totally different bomb designs.

Which is a sign they were pretty worried about choosing to put all their smart guys on one path, and picking the wrong one. And the number of smart guys they had was certainly a real constraint. Even under their very stressed circumstances, exploration and competition were important.

I like the way the author releases minor fixes. 1.14.0 - Remove the consul registry. What have people to do who're running hundreds of microservices in prod relied on go-micro with consul registry? Any migration path without stopping the world? What about the cost of person-hours we need to spend changing the code everywhere? The business wants to run the services 24x7 and does not depend on the mood of the third-party framework author.
Firejail is probably what you want. I'd be wary of considering Docker as a jail - it does some isolation, but I've yet to see any serious effort or analysis of "safely run arbitrary code as root in docker and avoid escape" (the scenario being at least a full compromise of the app, with potentially an elevation to root in the container). Docker is "(shipping) container first" not "(CIA black site) container first".

Firejail isn't perfect - but it's at least designed to be a jail/sandbox.

There's also the possibility to use lxc via lxd - if you're running xorg you can forward x11 over ssh to the container (or vm). However access to xorg is problematic (eg shared clipboard, window/screen access).

Wayland supposedly does "everything x does" - but I don't know how you connect displays via the network.

But in the end (even though you requested "not vm") - I'd probably have a look at qubes os: https://www.qubes-os.org/

Afaik it mitigates the "shared xorg server" via using x-in-x nested servers (eg xephyr).

Also came across this, which appears to be a little better than "just" docker - but I'd probably still go with firejail or qubes os:

You might assume this is just some techno-weenie blogger that's getting too excited about one of his hobbies, but if you look at the official submissions from companies aiming to build nuclear in Australia you'll see that this worrying lack of interest in objective truth is endemic to the industry.

Everything else apart, trusting someone with Billions of dollars after they try to pass off obviously out of date info on their competitor in order to con you into supporting them seems unwise.

Even being able to come up with vaguely convincing false information would give you more confidence in their abilities to successfully deliver such a project.

I sure hope Apple has some awareness of the complaints long-time users are having about the new generation Macbooks with Touchbar. I have used Macbooks since the first Titanium Macbook (with Mach Kernel) and I just switched to Thinkpad (omg the keyboard) running Pop_Os. I am a developer, so I might have more flexibility, but I have bought into the Mac echo system long ago. And the burden to move away versus the burden to stay has hit a tipping point for me. Apple, for whatever reason, is no good at internet stuff (mobile me, etc) and that is where they are going full force towards.

I dream that some new company will come around with killer unix-based OS, amazing hardware, and a more open ecosystem, but that is likely just a fantasy. Purism could be that company, but I am not sure they are capitalized for it. System76 seems great too, but I don't think they manufacture their own hardware. Razer makes a great looking laptop, but windows only and reliability issues. Lenovo still feel like a Chinese/Enterprised based company with little attention to the full user experience (try ordering a laptop from Germany in English or the pricing shenanigans they play).

Anyhow, based on my 1 year plus search for an alternative, I think the best linux distro is Pop_OS, and laptops are Thinkpad and Dell XPS. System76 Darter Pro also looks good, but I haven't used before. I am waiting for new generation of Purism laptops with Core i9, will have a go then.

I will be keeping my iPad Pro for what I have left in the Apple Ecosystem.

The interesting thing with this example in particular is that the audio output from the radio is already very well-gated thanks to an RF squelch (ie muted until a high enough RF level or pilot tone is detected - otherwise it would sound like an loud FM radio tuned to an empty band between transmissions and the gate wouldn't work). So internally there's already a voltage signal somewhere to indicate mute/unmute, with better precision than deriving it from the audio.

Of course it's a fun software exercise but if you were building a hardware product out of it you'd be better off splitting the audio into distinct transmissions based on the squelch signal rather than audio gate...

As it happens some modern avionic radio systems let you individually play back the most recent few messages for exactly the reasons the author describes (it's easy to miss)

The cancer that is marketing/advertising is driving this. It's true that people don't need a hotspot (the experience connecting to one is also awful, and often the backhaul is a single, shitty DSL connection anyway so much slower than even 3G).

Marketing/advertising pushes this to retailers as yet another way to stalk customers, get their details, etc and I guess the snake oil is working if the market is expanding. It's artificially created demand though; outside of the very low class everyone has access to more than enough mobile data and very few actually need to use these hotspots. Eventually the bubble is gonna pop.
