I'm not sure what I am going to do about it. I appreciate the encouragement to elevate my frustration into a serious problem to consider trying to solve. I doubt throwing money at it via government is the answer, though perhaps it is a piece of it. It's possible there's a way to change this via a service, but it seems like a big piece of the solution would have to be a big cultural change.

I managed to swing one of those as an “Amazon Warehouse Deal” for $75, shipped. Honestly, it was nothing short of a steal at that price. The Coolest Cooler had just so many clever features and accessories, but it was anything but clever when it came to manufacturing costs with all the custom moldings, accessories, bulk. and weight.

Somewhere was a website which attempted to break those costs down. No question that the engineering team put functionality and features first and cost second. The company needed to sell in volume to survive, but the final cost was just too high for that to happen. They seemed to have been slowly clawing their way back, but I do believe them when they say that new tariffs were the final straw which killed the dream.

I am truly sorry for backers. They were sold on the promise of so many clever features never before jam-packed into in a single cooler. (The only thing I would have added were larger rear wheels.) But it just wasn’t the right product brought to life by the right company and at the right cost. Some backers were strung along for years and really got screwed.

Still, you better believe that I consider myself lucky. I’m going to keep this monster for the rest of my life. Now if I only could have gotten my “World’s Thinnest Watch” from 2013 that raised over $1M on Kickstarter and failed to deliver anything. I know how it feels, and it sucks. Kickstarter isn’t a store, but I swear that some projects do their damndest to blur that line, you know?

> If I suddenly find out that I forgot to add something, I don't have to amend, I don't have to modify the commit, I can just stage my change and press `c e` - "extend". It will quietly add it to my previous commit.

Unless I’ve thoroughly misunderstood you, what you’re saying is that “c e” is equivalent to “git commit --amend”. This sounds suspiciously like “amend[ing]”.

Sure, git’s user interface is somewhere between mediocre and abysmal, but it’s not really clear to me that “c e” is a vast improvement.

I say this as a former org-mode user and even one-time contributor. Eventually I decided that the sheer number of magic incantations I had to remember to do anything useful wasn’t worth it.
>I used to do this, but security isn't really good enough, and it's not a great idea to tempt break ins.

The company is responsible for the security of their hardware and anything else provided to employees to use in the course of their work and should not be off-loading this onto their employees, implicitly or explicitly.

If your house got burgled and the company laptop stolen, would you feel responsible for replacing it (or having your insurance do so) for having taken it from the premises under the guise that their security was insufficient?
Hey! First off, I'm really sorry... no matter how cordially things end, it's always hard to see something you cared about and worked for come to an end.

As far as your options, I agree with everyone here who says you likely won't have much luck selling the code. People rarely buy code; they buy customers or revenue. It doesn't seem like you have either, and I don't have much to add there.

BUT! You do actually have something you can sell... your experience. Your last two years weren't a waste. We've hired founders at my company before, and they're great... they have an amazing mindset, are great at making things happen, and tend to be ambitious. These two years of experience are going to make you very valuable to someone. Like you said, there's a bunch of companies out there doing something similar. They don't need your code, but they'd love your experience. You've spent years understanding the space, thinking about the market, and getting a first-hand technical understanding.

I'd think of it that way... this is an amazing resume for you. You'll be able to turn this into money, just not the way you're currently thinking!

Good luck :)

Or if you have more than a small handful of users to manage. Or if you want MFA. WireGuard kind of breaks down when you go outside of site-to-site or “hobbyist nerd running a personal VPN” use cases.

SSH is even way more flexible there, and it’s really not great at that.

If you’ve managed to deploy WireGuard at scale with your clients, I’d like to be proven wrong!

Don't fret it. Imo people are being unnecessarily curt when trying to flex their pedantry here, which we all love to do, myself included.

Of course, poly still means there is an exponential in the time complexity.

It's really nothing beyond the main takeaway that the usual norm to describe something as having "exponential" growth is that the number of computations increases in order of magnitude every time you add but a single item to the list of inputs.

I bought one during the Northern California fires in 2017. It was ok in what it did. I liked that I could remotely turn it on and have it clean the air before I got home. It was the first air purifier I owned so I didn’t know what to expect in terms of how clean and quick it should be.

Somewhere between moves someone stole it from me so I was without one. 2018 we had more fires so I went to Home Depot and bought a Honeywell for a small/med sized room. Like night and day. The Honeywell had noticeable results especially as bad as the air was in 2018 fires in NorCal.

As a startup entrepreneur myself, I've bought into a few Kickstarter projects and I haven't gotten hosed yet. However, I think this is because I'm pretty cautious. I look into the track records of the people, assess the viability/difficulty of completing the project based on my experience and I tend to buy in quite late in the process.

There have been a lot I've passed on due to the fundamental uncertainty of manufacturing offshore hardware. I just bookmark them and buy it from Amazon when it's actually shipping for real. Often it's not much more than the Kickstarter price (and sometimes it's less).

Ask HN: Alternatives to Mozilla's Readability Library?

Truly love? I'd say its even less than that, and of that 90% many of them cook for a living, for various reasons.

I'm one of the former, I've come out of retirement as a chef twice, I did Agriculture because I wanted to see it from its entire process, because I can't be happy (or at least not have a massive sense of wanting inside of me) not being around food in some capacity. I thought IBM's food safety would be a good compromise... but, then here we are.

I'd say the US as a whole has a consume-only relationship with food, which skews the entire paradigm and leads to a disastrous logistical nightmare that entails losing 50% of all food produced.

There are enclaves of Food hubs in the US, but its relationship is not one of wanting to create but to be served by those who do, and it ranges from: immediate gratification to being a status symbol. And most who do work in said Industry, and they may even have a culinary schooling background, don't love food but instead love the lifestyle it can offer--Bourdain sadly, but accurately, highlights this in Kitchen Confidential and several of his series' about the hard boozing, drug-addled 'chef life.' I'm glad to say I got over that very early on in my first phase back as a University student.

Whereas in much of Europe (excluding places like Germany and UK), and from what I've seen in parts of Asia outside of China as well, food is the basis for which to take a break and unwind and enjoy the simpler pleasures of Life. Sitting at a table with friends and family is the reward for a day's work, and justifies why you even get out of bed. Dinner lasts hours after the meal has taken place as you converse and entertain each other.

To my surprise Swiss cusinese is essentially just party food, meant to be shared and interacted with and if you are lucky to experience at someone's homes the norms of just feeding each other and pouring each other food is very apparent and intoxicating.

My favorite food cultures are reflected in my repertoire: Italian and Japanese.

Both take humble ingredients and have a long History if making something extra-ordinary. it comes from an affinity for food that goes beyond just loving to cook, but a deep relationship with how the Earth and how its grown and what grows around you. Most of the best stuff from both cuisines doesn't travel well, and forces you to eat locally and seasonally to really appreciate it. A

nd the painstaking elaboration that follows is incredibly time-consuming: think 80 hour work weeks in the heavy seasons as the norm, not the exception, this can only come from a deep love for food.

It is with this in mind that customer is and always will be secondary, regardless of whatever narrative is sold to clientele. Which is why I don't think it lends itself to the US' commodification and consumerist driven culture. They make like it in a hypothetical and abstract way, but they will seldom live it.

> if you have a hash table of fixed size

No HashTable implementation worth it's salt is going to have a fixed size table. They are going to dynamically grow the size of the table (double it) once certain level of utilization is reached in the table (say 50%). In practice this means that chains at the same bucket will be of some small constant length assuming a good hash function.
Good question. Maybe to some degree -- specifically participants getting exposure in other ways (like futures) over the cash market
People fall into 3 categories is a pretty course classification. There are hot prepared meals, cut prepared meals you still need to cook, microwave meals, raw ingredients and everything in between. Meanwhile stores have been reducing waste. Someone is buying the stuff and it isn't accounted for by just the 10%. My guess is that the past decades economic windfall just means we are eating out more than the previous decade. Eventually economic downturn will make eating out prohibitively expensive for many, and they will rediscover their "love" or more likely somewhere on the spectrum of cooking appreciation.
I've taken up cooking the majority of our meals in the last couple years. Before that we ate out almost exclusively. It started as a goal to just eat healthier, to know more about what was in our food and to simply eat fewer unpronounceable chemicals.

I used to hate cooking, but now that I'm into it, I'm really enjoying the development of the various skills that come along with it: from picking fresh veggies to basic knife skills. I've slowly been ramping up the complexity of the kinds of meals I'm able to make. I'll spend a bit of time every week trolling various youtube cooking channels to find new menus I think I have the skill to make or have one or two new things that I can reasonably learn without introducing any "use only for this recipe" ingredients.

I don't think I'll ever get into meal prepping, I like too much variety in my diet. I've found a few channels that have meals at a variety of skill levels from "I can do that in my sleep" to "this is going to take some intense study to get right".

It's been an incredibly rewarding experience and we've gone from freezers full of microwave meals to empty freezers and a fridge packed to the gills with greens and other raw ingredients. I've come to feel a great sense of pride when hitting the checkout line at the grocery and every single ingredient in the cart is raw and unprocessed -- and most of the cart is full of veggies.

Bonus: since my wife is Korean, I'm also learning to cook stuff from her culture and it gives me two menus full of recipes I can draw from when making the week's meals.
Bitcoin can't be a currency until it is legal to use as a form of tender.

These days, I see bitcoin like the ivory trade. Plenty of it out there, not much public movement, and it is illegal to do with it what everyone wants to do with it. So people are hoarding it while appearing to distance themselves from it for tax/legality purposes. I no longer look into this topic too regularly so this may be a naive thing to say, but there are far more naive people than me out there with money in bitcoin...

Slightly related to a comment in the article about airport interiors being so big: Why is it that almost _all_ airports have those huge ceilings?

Is it just for aesthetics? Personally it feels really uncomfortable and just wasteful. I can't help but think you could make airports a hell of a lot smaller and make it a better experience overall.

An interesting contrast is Narita's low-cost-carrier terminal 3. It has normal ceilings, and the only thing really airport-y about it is that there's a security checkpoint. It's basically a bus terminal, if buses had wings. Plus it has a normal food court (instead of all the overpriced BS you find in other places). An airport for the masses
The article mentions "microwave assisted thermal sterilization". That's useful. Most of the advantages of food irradiation without the PR problem.

As others have mentioned, English is an official language in Singapore and South Africa.

As for Malaysia, English is not an "official language" however it is an official language in one state, and it is still an important language in government - particularly in the judiciary, where many cases are still conducted and judgements written in English. More importantly, it's the primary language in most larger private-sector businesses particularly in cities like KL where Malay is less dominant.
