One thing I feel is overlooked in these discussions is WebView UI performance isn’t as good as native. You’ll always notice a difference scrolling a list natively vs on web. It just _feels_ different, same goes for all the other micro-interactions if pushing/popping views.
It's a shared medium, as is internet via cable. The 100MB/s or whatever they'll offer will be the peak throughput you can achieve.

Aside from that they already have plans to send up 30.000 more satellites [1] and of course future satellites might also have a significantly higher throughput.

> The official Python package index has binary images, but they're compiled against glibc, and therefore don't work with Alpine.

That’s a false statement (depending on interpretation). Whether a PyPI package has wheels is entirely at the discretion of the package maintainer, who is responsible for compiling all source and binary distributions; PyPI does not compile anything and only accepts uploads, verbatim. If the maintainer doesn’t upload wheels or doesn’t upload wheels for your platform, then no wheels for you (not from PyPI). In general compiling statically linked wheels (when you have C extensions and external dependencies) is a fairly involved process.

At the moment there are six platform tags for Linux wheels supported by PyPI: manylinux{1,2010,2014}_{x86_64,i686}. Each is based on a CentOS release with very old glibc. See

PL theoretic superiority was not the design goal. Golang was intended to be a pragmatic, bread-and-butter language for large teams with churn. Bad code needs to be screamingly obvious. It also needs to be very easy to learn. FP langs can never fill this role because it's fundamentally more difficult to think in FP terms than imperative terms. Maybe for small internal projects. (But if it's successful, it'll get rewritten in Go/Java/C++; people simply can't handle FP.)

With DNS failover there is only added latency during the time interval between when a server goes down, causing the DNS to get updated, and when the dead IP times out everywhere, which can easily be a few minutes. If the server can anticipate that it is going to go down it can remove itself, and then only people using shitty ISPs that don't respect the TTL will ever see extra latency.

To your question of "Does Amazon now need to pay 100 different authors?" the answer is "yes".

My understanding is that they tally that up and pay each of the authors at the end of the month with a single payment of the KU revenue, directly paid for books, etc. As each book can be bought multiple ways. Though note this only applies for self-published books as otherwise, it all goes back to the publisher.
I think that's inaccurate. There are plenty of push notifications that don't annoy people, that are often the primary basis for how people interact with certain apps — Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, etc.

Let's not assume that all push notifications are cynical attempts to get people engaged with the app or to push DLC. For things like mail, messaging, and plenty of other online services, push notifications are not just an important interface to the app; they can be the interface.

It's just an exponential fit based on the current number. You can run that same fit for earlier days and eyeball the graph, but we have a fancier tool for that called a "correlation coefficient".

So, don't ever improve the prediction based on new data. Mkay.

On the contrary, isn't the expected behaviour for most types of growth that it will be exponential in the initial phase, then transition to an S-shaped curve?

Whether it be expansion into a new market or spread of a virus, in the early days there is little resistance. Then when (competitors|health services) start noticing and working against it, the spread slows and plateaus. How quickly that happens and what level of spread the plateau is at depends on the speed and efficiency of the countermeasures.
An article in WIRED that opines that the 10,000 Year Clock being built in association with The Long Now Foundation is a waste of time. Ho hum, you think. But on a social ecology level this story is massive. I've been following the Whole Earth / Stewart Brand / Kevin Kelly / Wired phenomenon since the 1970's. For WIRED to publish an article ridiculing the 10,000 Year Clock is like Planned Parenthood opining that New York's new abortion law is an offense against the sanctity of human life.

The only sense I can make of this is that the animus against Jeff Bezos trumps everything.

Are we arguing financial cost or privacy cost?

I personally think the financial burden of retrofitting all US cars with breathalyzers is burdensome. If they already had such equipment, I'd 100% be in favor of gating starting the car on their use, especially if it was a completely passive, foolproof system. You're right on the number of deaths to drunk driving in the US; it's atrocious.

This wouldn't even be the first time in US history a policy change to improve safety and corresponding enforcement occurred; seatbelt laws exist, and enforcement of such laws allows the police to glance in your window to see if you're wearing one and fine you if you aren't. We aren't too far away from cars refusing to be driven if the seatbelt is unclipped.

To swing us back around from this analogous hypothetical to the UK's situation: the cameras are already sunk cost and the question on the table is to improve their utility via software. We aren't talking installing breathalyzers; we're talking about upgrading the existing breathalyzers' firmware to work better at the task they were intended for, so to speak. We can argue whether the software will technically work (separate question, and I'm not in favor of installing something that just doesn't work), but if it does work I'm in favor of passive mass surveillance of public spaces to find persons of interest. It bothers basically nobody and greatly improves the utility of a system that is already installed for the purpose of aiding in stopping crime.

You can definitely improve your prediction based on new data, but the most important part is to show your historical predictions too. FiveThirtyEight does this pretty well by showing the probability a candidate gets elected in a time series chart.

Predicting is serious business, and you have to be accountable for past predictions, especially if they were wrong.

This chart, as is is extremely misleading because it gives readers the false sense that you were 100% right, and your future predictions are highly likely to be true.

>> Extrapolating out into the future is always errorprone.

You're absolutely right. And if readers saw your predictions were mostly wrong, they wouldn't be alarmed in the future when they see "experts" predict 10% of the world would die 3 months after a virus is found. Because they'd know from past experience that past models were mostly wrong!
That's true for dedicated circuits but no residential or even small business Internet plans are dedicated. You can put at least 200 customers on a 1 gigabit connection and they'll still get 100 Mbps+ speedtests even during peak usage times of the day.
A Customizable “DrudgeReport” for Linux
I do have an anxiety disorder so I absolutely get this. A big breakthrough for me through therapy was working on my self worth and realizing that I have inherent value. I can't speak for everyone but I was raised to believe that my worth was really only the sum of my actions in a very utilitarian sort of way rather than a deontological way. I suspect a lot of other young men in my generation were instilled with very similar values. If you know that you existing just as you are is valuable regardless then the social anxiety around not knowing something or being "perfect" tends to melt away (or it at least helps). Perfectionism is a lot more insidious than most folks realize. That said when you get to the place where you can get past that it's quite liberating.
> When I get a chance to talk to politicians about how to fix this, I always make the same pitch. Step #1 should be to give a huge wad of money to the FDA. Say $1B/yr. Then you tell the FDA: every year, pick the 50 most promising drug candidates. Publicly fund the clinical trials, and the public will own the patent. Give some cash to the inventor and the institute to incentivize them to do this scheme and not sell to pharma.

This would be abused like any other slush fund. Plus there’s a natural adverse selection bias as all the “really good” patents will go the private route.

The real answer to all of this is to pass a law that drug prices in the USA have to be less than anywhere else on earth. Let that kick off a race to the bottom amongst the world’s countries. Let them eat the cost of constant marketing in the first world.

Some will argue that’s not fair to the millions in less affluent nations. I say who cares? A governments’s foremost job is to protect its own citizens.

The current pharma pricing system milks the American consumer so as to subsidize the rest of the planet. It’s long past time to end that.

I think it's a bit misleading to say that "Google developed Go", as if it were some kind of strategic play. Go wasn't a top down product; it was created by the engineers who had the idea to create a new language, and hope to make it a popular one at Google. But even today, Go is not one of Google's top internal languages; Java and C++ apparently still dominate on the backend.

As for why Go isn't SML, just look at the original team. They had a background in languages like C (Ken Thompson , Oberon and Modula (Robert Griesemer) and Aleph, Newsqueak, and Limbo (Rob Pike). Nobody on the core Go team have ever been fans of functional languages or of complex type systems.
Frequency isn't countable, so I'd parse that sentence as "Suggest tracks like this less often".

"Suggest fewer tracks like this" would also be a valid request, the point is that it's an ellipsis either way, so I don't see a problem.

I had a few - all of them from my Android apps and via Facebook business tools i.e. the vendors are actively pushing my data to Facebook. One utility app that I'm not surprised about, one that I'm a bit more surprised about but the interesting bit was G-Shock Connect (for the watch).

I installed their app once, figured it doesn't properly do the only thing I needed it for (show battery charge level), and I went to uninstall it. How did it find itself on Facebook?

The app wasn't given any permissions and I did not enter any personal information. The TOS did require giving consent to sending app and watch usage data but I didn't tick allowing that for marketing purposes nor was personal information mentioned, just identification data from the phone itself, operating system etc.

The app must have obtained my phone number or email from the phone's personal data. Apparently that's possible even if I declined all explicit permissions. They might be able to find my Google email by using Android's AccountManager apis. Phone number might be possible but slightly tricky and I think I disconnected my phone number from Facebook way before installing their app.

Interesting stuff - looks like everything should run in an anonymous container by default on phones, too. I hope we'll get there soon. Still, a lot of this is based on trust rather than technical countermeasures. Will you trust the vendor or not?
> Maybe I'm projecting from my own social anxiety, but I believe most of the negative sensation of feeling like a noob is being seen to not know something.

I can anecdotally agree with this. In general, I don’t care at all what people think about me (I still care if people think I’ve wronged them, it’s more what they judgementally think of me), and I have never felt bad about being a noob, or being seen as a noob.

I’ve learnt two languages through immersion, and I’ve been told I pick them up very quickly. Learning languages like that is basically repeating things you’ve heard, and then figuring out what everything really means through asking questions and a huge amount of trial and error... with lots and lots of error. Really I’m not any better at learning things than anybody else is, but because I didn’t ever feel bad about making those errors, I’d wake up in the morning, and spend the whole day happily making “embarrassing” language mistakes. Which over time quickly became less and less common.

I have beeen looking at setting up a vpn to be able to hook up my pc to the office network. I don't know a whole lot about it but I ended up trying out Softether for the job just this weekend. It's a free and opensource project from the University of Tsukuba, Japan. It promises that it can achieve speeds far higher than Openvpn.
It was really just a click next, next type setup both on client and server which was the reason I went for it over openvpn which seemed more complicated and would require me to handle DNS stuff etc.
I was impressed that I was able to get it up and run a desktop application designed for a local network with a minimal increase in lagginess.
I'd value the opinions of people more knowledgeable than I who may have tried it.

Ask HN: Did I make the jump to management too quickly?
Hello,

I'm a self taught developer (career change). I've worked at two startups, the first as a developer. The second I was hired as a developer, got promoted to team lead, then to engineering manager, then CTO after the previous one left.

My previous career path set me up for being a solid manager (good communication, leadership qualities, etc). I really enjoy building the team, mentoring, shipping etc. I also enjoy writing software. I like my role as CTO now :)

However, I'm concerned that my ~3 years as an IC isn't enough "tech chops" for my future as an Engineering Leader. To be clear, I'm fine with the manager path that I'm on, and I don't feel like my current "tech chops" hold me back in my current role. But when I look at the profiles of engineering leaders who work at reputable companies (FAANG, FAANG tier 2, tier 3, some startups) many have a lot of IC experience (e.g. 5-8+ years).

I'm curious to hear from anyone out there with similar experience.

I'd like to work for a blue chip tech company at some point and even-though I feel like I can grind away and prep for an interview, I worry that I won't have learned enough as an IC to be an effective engineering leader.

Yes, Imposter Syndrome is at play here. But at the same time it's quite logical to expect someone to be great at something before they lead others, especially at companies with strong engineering cultures.

Thoughts? Thanks for reading.

Emissions – the ‘business as usual’ story is misleading
To my knowledge -- keeping in mind this is not my area -- there are modest benefits for newer types of insulin. You have to dose less often. The variance in swings of blood glucose is lower -- newer types tend to be more "extended release". Some types can be inhaled instead of being injected, which is obviously preferable.

But in my understanding, in general, there are no major health risks from using plain insulin, and it is mostly about convenience. I do not know if that is true for all diabetics.

EDIT: kkreamer above says there are differences in long-term complication risks between insulin types. From my very brief literature review just now, that looks to be true. I guess I have become jaded because of the number of diabetics I have recently heard complaining that they are in danger of IMMINENT DEATH because they cannot afford their insulin. Long-term complication risks are important but it is not the same thing.

This is how pharma keeps the whole scheme going. They invent a drug that is marginally better in some way, refreshing the patent. Then, if the consumer cannot afford the product that is even 5% better, the consumer feels as if they might as well have been sent to a death panel.

> It being a "standard industry practice" doesn't really affect the utility of the trade-off.

It doesn't affect the utility of the trade-off, but all else being equal we usually accept what exists now. Fighting what already defacto exists is hard-- either as lone consumers, where we're tilting at windmills to little effects... or as regulators, where we risk unintended consequences.

> "Kindle tracks every page turn in order to determine how long you have left in the book" would be a statement of the trade-off

Nah, Kindle tracks all these actions so that developers can improve ux and understand how the device is being used. Wonder how often people turn pages by mistake? Look for quick pairs of page forward with page backward. Then maybe you can think about touch sensitivity. How much will be people be annoyed if you remove the buttons? See what proportion of users exclusively, mostly, or don't use buttons.

> If it's wrong for one person to do it, it's wrong for everyone, even if all people are doing it.

It's wrong for anyone to abuse the information. If we have an industry of people using the information ethically, and then one bad actor misuses the information, we need to consider that background. Do we take measures solely against misuse, or do we attempt to stop the collection to have more certainty in stopping the misuse?
