If youre a top performer, theres always money for you. Ive gotten some 50% raises without a promotion from massive extremely cheap large corporations. But I produce and make those above me look very good. I pull political strings and execute on projects that give my bosses more power.
I wonder about the cost and practicality of producing kits that fully replace the electronics for various popular tractor models. There would be no need to hack anything; you could use any desired computer architecture.
It doesn't matter. Each prediction has to be weighed on its own merit against ever-evolving reality. Even Einstein didn't bat a thousand.
The modern macbook pros (not the recent 16's) have the worst keyboards ever. That won't last a few years without being returned to apple for the Free Apple Keyboard quality program.

That's an entire generation of Apple laptops of all kinds - Apple MacBook Air 13, Macbook Pro 13, Macbook Pro 15 - all of them having their keyboards eventually malfunctioning, and ultimately needing their keyboards refurbished or replaced outright.

If you think this doesn't indicate Apple has a quality problem I don't know what you're thinking about. (They admitted it themselves and have a repair program that basically has their entire slate of MacBook products on permanent free repair for the foreseeable future)

And by the way, when you take your laptop to Apple, and they offer to replace the "Top Case" for your laptop for free, where do you think it's going? the battery probably goes to refurb, but a large portion of it is just getting junked because it has a genuine design issue to begin with.

If the obtuseness is to deter regulators, it's a good thing nobody at any regulatory body reads Hacker News. Right? Because otherwise frontpaging HN would defeat the entire purpose of trying to fly under regulatory radar.

Lol. This is what I found extremely shocking and is the first thing that I noticed. I don't think anyone serious about embedded design would touch it. They are trying to ignore decades of experience in real time systems and build some hacky stuff and make it open source.
> Growing up during the rise of the ipod, it absolutely was a status symbol

It was a status symbol for you and your teenage friends. Life expectancy is currently around 80 in the developed world and teenagers don't really have disposable income, so teenagers weren't really driving sales. Apple made cool commercials and cool colors because they could.
Not always true. There are some very interesting projects at Google, Apple, etc. that can only be done by companies capable of throwing hundreds of

Being able to walk to, say, the grocery store, would be great. Having to walk to the grocery store, every time, would be miserable. (I remember walking to the grocery store when I had to go, had zero running cars, and it was below zero. It was not fun.)

Freedom to not have to drive? Sure. It's great. But so is the freedom to be able to drive.

>Despite their price, there was a time when macbooks were only 5-10% more than the PC equivalent laptop.

I seriously doubt 5-10%. You are talking about minimum $50 - $100+ dollar difference, that has never happened. Mac has always been roughly 20-30% more expensive than a laptop with comparable specs. So $1000 comparable spec laptop, Apple will sell you one for $1300, ( But with more expensive upgrades )

The 30% has been fine for years, the quality and finishing as well as macOS was well worth the price tag. But in recent years it hasn't been 30% at all.
Sounds like you're a few axioms short of nihilism.

Sequence of events:

Russell publishes Principia Mathematica (1910-1913)

David Hilbert studies Principia Mathematica, and keeps working on open questions from it (1913 onwards):

He poses the proof of the consistency of arithmetic (and of set theory) again as the main open problems. In both these cases, there seems to be nothing more fundamental available to which the consistency could be reduced other than logic itself. And Hilbert then thought that the problem had essentially been solved by Russell’s work in Principia. Nevertheless, other fundamental problems of axiomatics remained unsolved, including the problem of the “decidability of every mathematical question,” which also traces back to Hilbert’s 1900 address.

These unresolved problems of axiomatics led Hilbert to devote significant effort to work on logic in the following years. In 1917, Paul Bernays joined him as his assistant in Göttingen. In a series of courses from 1917–1921, Hilbert, with the assistance of Bernays and Behmann, made significant new contributions to formal logic.[1]

In 1928 Haskell Curry moved to Germany to study under David Hilbert

Curry's work developed into the Curry–Howard correspondence[2] which led to the language being named after him.

The inverse of that is being poor, where one unlucky break can lead you to living on the streets.

As with most things in life, the best path is the middle path.
You're missing the point.

The point is that the large majority of these developers are choosing this line of work, not being forced into it. Including the long hours and frequently lower than average pay. Any comparisons to slavery or child labor are an insult to all those who actually suffer(ed) under those conditions.
I agree. What’s really weird is that for example downtown Dallas has a population of 10-11k people, with a density of 7,690 per square mile. That number feels almost rural compared to here in Manhattan at 66,940 per sq mile.
Again, nothing you've mentioned made the original iPhone complex. They were missing features. But them being missing didn't make using the phone complicated to comprehend.

Sure. However many people die, what can we do today to make it fewer? What's the next step? Let's start working on that.

> Those LED displays you can get in retail

Do you mean the LCD displays with LED backlights; that's what I've seen in retail, marketed as "LED TV"? Are you seeing burnin of the LEDs, or image retention on the LCD? LED burn in might look more like noticeably different white levels across the different local dimming areas, especially if it gets worse over time related to static brightness differences in the displayed image.
His interview with Lex Fridman was quite interesting: https://youtu.be/iwcYp-XT7UI

It IS a fork of Emby, however, which is quite similar to Plex in how it behaves. Crucially, Jellyfin does not make you log into someone elses website for your own content. Don't you find that kinda weird about Plex?

But yes, the downside is the lack of smooth integrations. When I tried Jellyfin about a year ago they did not quite have Chromecast support nailed down, however as of now they've got a fully functional Android app and proper Chromecast integration.
It's an abbreviation. It's used to save time. I don't want to waste away typing Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.

Canva’s Growth Strategy: How they acquired 15M users
You need to work out what your valuation is now and what it is predicted to be when you take your next round of investment. If you take the 10M for 20% and then sell the next 20% for less than 10M you are telling your investors that the investment has devalued.

You would think that you want to claw as much money from their hands but that comes back on you if you don't think you can grow or maintain the value your company is currently at.
> One kind of democracy, perhaps, but not the kind I support. Tyranny of the majority is not a good thing.

Indeed, I was just responding to the "they don't have the right" -- they do. It's not a good look to exercise it, though.

> Excuse me? Productive citizens don't only live in urban areas.

Of course, although the work they do is valued lower in the modern US economy which tends to be services-driven and not resource-driven. Further, there's nothing you can do to make up for the economic power of population density, efficiencies re: economies of scale, and the kinds of work that are most rewarded.

US metro economies account for 90.8% of GDP, 91.3% of wage income, and 87.7% of jobs. [1] This means that it accounts for easily over 90% of tax revenue, which in turn means that it accounts for easily over 90% of infrastructure spending on things like interstates. More so as the median income is almost 50% higher in metros than outside, which means the marginal tax rates are higher, too.

Can you elaborate on how technical writing can help you excel at a google?

> Security is incredibly complex and minor/subtle mistakes can destroy companies

For better or for worse, that's not the case. These days, security mistakes just end up in 2 years of free credit monitoring. Ironic case in point, Equifax.

I'm not saying you shouldn't take security seriously. But it's not fair to say that insecurity could destroy your company. Mainly, most end users just really don't care (or have a choice).
You just did.
Personal opinion time; Airpods are a powerful coupling with the real next big thing: The watch.

I think most of HN think of the watch as either a thing that will never happen or they think it peaked. But not only do I think that I could likely go a day without having my actual phone with me, I think this is only the beginning for that form factor.

I mean, consider that: handoff is here, and works.

Airpods mean external peripherals can be attached seamlessly.

It supports LTE and Streaming music.

The future I see, phones as they currently exist become tablets, and watches are the new phone.
> If you grew up somewhere rural or suburban, you basically became a parasite to your parents, and were totally dependent on them for all of your transportation until 16 or 17 when you got a license & car.

I grew up in suburbs. I rode the bus to school and rode my bike to the swimming pool and other places I wanted to play. For a couple of years in high school before I got a license, yes, my parents had to drive me places, but it certainly wasn't for my entire childhood.

> As a US parent who works, you are VERY likely to spend more time on your commute than with your children if you drive.

For my commute, driving to work takes me about an hour door to door. Taking public transit takes me about an hour and a half. For people who car pool to work in my area (I don't), the disparity can be even larger because of HOV lanes and free use of express lanes on the freeway. Comparisons I've seen between public transit times and driving times often aren't door to door--they only count the actual travel time on the train or bus, not the time spent getting to the station (and parking if you don't live close enough to it to walk), and the time getting to the office after leaving the train or bus.

That said, I have nothing whatever against walkable communities (in fact, at some point as I age I will probably try to move to one, for the reasons you give). The freedom cars represent to me is not so much associated with the necessary tasks of life but with the fun ones. For example, I like to drive to Shenandoah National Park to hike. No way public transit is going to get me there. My wife and I like to go to the beach every so often. No way public transit is going to get us there. And so on.
2h No Screen Time Before Bed
No. It is a mistake to think this is a metaphor. I grew up in a rural area. Until I left for college, I couldn't go visit my friends or really do anything without my parents driving me or loaning me a car. Cars in a very literal way represented freedom.

Now I live in a city and via walking and public transportation I can get to literally any other major city in the world. That's freedom.
I use Archos video player on a firetv and connect to my miniDLNA instance. Archos gives you all of the movie posters, imdb descriptions, actor info etc etc. my dvr recordings are also served from minidlna which allows archos to pop up “new episodes!” on recently added series episodes

Birds can fly away ya know, except they don't come with an IFR rating or instruments, a colossal area has burned -- I saw one estimate of around 8.5m ha (edit: which is over 32,000 square miles or more than Scotland's area) burned so far. So where are they flying away to in high temperature blackness, when the fire front might be moving faster than them? What about smoke inhalation, the biggest killer of people in domestic fires? Smoke from the fires has darkened the sky in Chile and New Zealand.
I didn't waste away this time, I'm still here. But next time I might not be so lucky.

You’re missing the point, which is that failing to act for fear of “increased costs” is a poor justification for being satisfied with a status quo.

And just because people currently are satisfied with mistreatment doesn’t mean it’s not worthy of change. Whether if that change comes from unions, or from the companies themselves.
Breakthrough in lithium-sulfur battery technology
1) Most governments, especially in third world countries where help is needed the most, are rife with corrupt officials and inept bureaucracy. Democracy doesn’t always give the proper incentives for government to care about (a) the long-term future, which matters more for young children who can’t vote, (b) minority interests, again because their vote might not necessarily sway elections. Hence, there is definitely a case to be made for charities and governments to operate side-by-side.
2) Govt officials should be paid well, they do an important job.
3) I think there is a lot more wasteful overhead at charities than employee payroll, which should be cut down upon. I know of some well-regarded charities which fly their junior employees in business-class. Things like that can probably be improved first before turning the gaze on payroll.
The list seems biased towards pre-2001, so I’ll toss one in: Cell. I hold that it was so ahead of its time, it dragged game devs, kicking and screaming, into the future ahead of schedule when they were forced to support the PS3 for the extended console cycle. :)

>Yeah, the MBP 16” is pretty comparable to the Dell XPS in price - at least when comparing base models.

The Dell XPS [1] with a comparable spec cost $1650 compare to MBP 16" $2399. In the old days Apple would have priced it closer to $2199 or slightly lower.

Somewhere along the line they started making Mac same margins as iPhone.

"The right" is defined as "a moral or legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way." The majority have a legal entitlement where not constrained by the constitution, so they have the right. Again, that doesn't make it the right thing to do, though.
He's comparing apples to oranges and reaching the conclusion that... yes, apples and oranges are different things. He's quite aware of this, and even points out the tradeoff -- `sort | uniq -c` still works if your dataset doesn't fit into RAM.
The author refers to "the shell" in his "benchmark" but if he is a Linux user then

sh -c 'f 11 access.2020-01-* ... is dash

whereas

f 11 access.2020-01* ... is bash

Needless to say, one of these shells is much faster than the other and only one contains the "time" builtin command.

Then there is the use of perl and its system command in "count". As with seq, why is perl needed. No explanation. Why not just put the entire pipeline into a perl system command.
Interesting that the B5000 didn't make this list. Berkeley CS252 has been reading the Design of the B5000 System paper for years. The lecture slides don't criticize it but Computer Organization and Design sorta does:

I grew up in a town with nearly double that in population, and if you didn’t have a car you were screwed. Barely any public transportation to speak of besides an inadequate amount of bus routes that ran far too infrequently. Most of the major shopping and commercial areas don’t even have sidewalks on the streets. Only the relatively small downtown area could be considered pedestrian friendly and that area provides very few jobs comparatively.
