This does not match my experience living in Manhattan. I lived in a building where many of the people had children and the neighbourhood had a lot of businesses and facilities for children. While they might have been in the minority, it would be a gross exaggeration to say "Manhattan has almost no middle class people with kids".

I did not see any of my neighbours finances and doubtlessly they were above national median incomes (this is NYC and Manhattan after all). But these were not wall street brokers, they appeared as middle-class in their lifestyle as those I know in the suburbs.
Seems like a reasonable fear, but it is mitigated by short certificate lifespans. Symantec was much more painful to distrust due to multi-year certificate lengths.
Then you can of course barter, but where do you think most human interactions happened during that time? Inside small groups of people that trust each other or between different groups that doesn't?
Okay, that's much better. Thanks for the clarification. I assume "com", "org", "net", "ninja", etc are also reserved then?

I don’t know but there’s actually a name for it: food desert [1]. But think about all that we just learning about gut health and mental health.. it kind of makes sense. I think the author does make an interesting point that modern development land-use leaves little for actual buildings, but I think for many cities they have been far more preoccupied with not letting big chains in because they don’t want the sprawl that it’s created a situation where chains end up in the suburban perimeter while the core becomes even more car centric to reach these retailers. In recent years smaller footprint stores like aldi, Walmart’s neighborhood market, and lidl have been able to come into these areas. It’s possible that more last mile delivery like Prime Now could help but I think we have a long way to go before the author’s utopian vision of an ideal city is realized.

No, a big clump of neurons in that area is innate. When hooked up to functioning eyes, what we call the “visual cortex” develops in the vast majority of sighted people. If it were truly innate, babies would be born with fully functioning visual processing centers, which they are not.

There is also every reason to suspect this doesn’t happen in congenitally blind individuals, where the visual feedback loop is not available during neural development.
This is how I justified getting a Surface Hub for the wall. White board for work, TV at break time. Also nice large screen for watching virtual conferences and training videos.
Hi all! I'm pretty excited to share our project with the HN community.

AnyHow is a consultancy management platform aimed at agencies and freelancers. We began building this product in 2012 for our company Netlandish. Over the years it kept getting better and at some point we realized that, for our business at least, it was the best option available. We began to share it with our friends who would use it for their businesses and would then tell their friends about it.

We finally decided to do the work to make it available to all. While we're publicly launching today, AnyHow has already managed hundreds of projects worth millions of dollars for a couple dozen companies. In short, it's already battle tested.

I won't go into too many details on features, etc. here but some core things are Time tracking (multiple methods/workflows), invoicing and accepting payments, centralized discussions/file storage/wiki (w/ client access), automation for normal tedious tasks, and lots more...

If you'd like some more details see the features page[1] or an even longer list on our YesAQ page[2] (thx Basecamp!)

You can also check out this YouTube video showing brief demo's of a lot of the core features.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIMtfcVRwXY

Tech stack (what we mostly care about here right?)

Python 3.8, Django 2.2.x, PostgreSQL 11 db, Redis, Memcached, Celery, AWS SES/S3, nginx, uwsgi. Hosted at Digital Ocean on systems running FreeBSD 12.1.

We've got a full API for the feature set ready as well. The docs are not quite complete (thus why no API links on the site yet) but that should come soon!

I'd love to answer any questions you may have!

Observable is amazing! Some time ago, I prototyped half of the 2.0 version of a company's product in it in a scope of a few days; that's how nicely the notebook interface and reactive programming fit together.

Last but not least, I'm a great fan of your articles! Keep up the great work!
> People didn't switch to GMail because it was a "cool" brand

In the early days of gmail when you needed an invite code, it definitely was a status symbol to have that @gmail.com on your email address.

And at the time, the actual functionality of gmail was far less significant than the fact it was free and decoupled from your internet provider, although you're right the storage capacity on a free email was unheard of at the time.
I’m taking a look. This looks promising. Will provide detailed feedback once I give this a good spin.

> Alexander the Great would not be in the least bit perplexed by the enemy that we face right now in Iraq, and our leaders going into this fight do their troops a disservice by not studying (studying, vice just reading) the men who have gone before us.”

Alexander would just marry off tribal chieftain's daughters to his generals and move on to the next trouble spot, seems like a hard sell with today's mores & norms.
I think it comes down to the fact that a hub and spoke model, where relative values only have to be maintained and agreed upon into and out of a single commodity are easier for humans to conceptualize and agree upon at-large than complete (or worse yet and more likely, incomplete) graphs.
I'm reminded a lot of the Challenger explosion investigation [1]. Specifically, Feynman's discoveries and analysis while investigating NASA. He discovered a huge disconnect between engineers and management. What's more, the commission seemed less intent on identifying the systemic issue and more on giving the appearance of a quick resolution, which Feynman hates. "For a successful technology," Feynman concluded, "reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled."

I feel like it's the same problems at Boeing, and the same pattern of addressing problems. It will be interesting to see if a publicly traded company will be more effective than a government organization at solving these problems.

Good time for an employee to write a book about Essential?

Why does it make sense for Cisco then? China is certainly a law enforcement agency, with just as much right to require it as the US does under CALEA (local US law).

Probably a wise move considering many of the vendors are from China.
I think it comes down to preferences. I have never enjoyed reading, podcasts, or whatever else on cramped public transit, but I do enjoy the alone time of driving and I generally enjoy driving if it's not stop-and-go.

That said, the overall amount of time I spend is still my first priority. I don't want to spend any significant portion of my life going to and from work. I live in Chicago so public transit is 100% the way to go since it's faster and many times cheaper than using a car.

Stripe charged me $714 for duplicate transactions within seconds
I just had a client pay $8,200, and they must have hit the submit button over and over. 6 times actually, but luckily their bank blocked all but 3 of the payments.

I had to refund 2 of those, and Stripe has charged me $714 in refund fees.

Their live chat and phone support all insist that it's expected that Stripe would process $8,200, submitted over and over within seconds to the same credit card, and wouldn't block it.

I guess it's true that I signed up for this when I signed up for Stripe. And it's obvious that the payment flow was misconfigured and the least I could do is disable the submit button upon click.

Although wow... I would have trusted Stripe to have some degree of obvious safety net against duplicate transactions until today.

I figured I'd put this out there in case anybody else finds themselves in the same situation.

Flagged because gender is not relevant. There have been several “woman scientist” posts over the past several days and I don’t think this line of thinking is appropriate for HN. You’d think that a title like “the actress who invented wartime frequency hopping radios” would both garner more interest and keep from implying Lamarr as only being noteworthy because of her gender.
Really that article misses the point by attributing power to economists. Largely the powers that be choose economists to support based upon what they already want or believe politically useful essentially. Those who espouse anything inconvenient are dutifully ignored. A broad consensus warned post recession that overly consolidated banks suffering from moral hazard after a bail out needed subdivided for reduced failure risk alone and that never happened.
If you are just checking availability, just cut out the middle-men and do a whois query directly.
I think the gender really is key here, since Heddy's sole contribution was co-authoring a single patent to use piano rolls to generate coded messages. I guess you can call this "weapons research" in the sense that cryptography is sometimes considered munitions. But it wasn't very good cryptography and didn't end up being used, so I don't think anyone would care about this except for Heddy being turned into a type of "women in science" icon, with people then claiming that the piano roll was really spread spectrum, so Heddy invented spread spectrum, and others claiming that the piano roll meant she invented GPS, cell phones, etc. It's really out of control.

This is unfortunate as there are many accomplished women in science who are real scientists and who made real contributions, but are not well known because there is no Hollywood star angle to tie in, just actual science. For example my favorite female researcher would have to be Karen Uhlenbeck, whom no one in popular culture has heard of, but who was (IMO) the most brilliant female mathematician of the last 100 hundred years. There are many such examples of unknown women scientists if we look for real inventors and real scientists, rather than looking for someone "sexy" to make into an icon for our favorite causes.

When we look at the entirety of companies around the world, it's reasonable to think that there are non-FAANG companies that could be just as skilled. That stated, my own casual observations:

1) The FAANGs that I've seen have significantly more robust practices than the non-FAANGs. Everything from office conditions to build / test / release systems. The reason for this is:

2) Incentives. When your business is completely focused around software technology, you are incentivized to build out systems and processes that other places would not, because it is core to your business.

The origin of the mixed use movement (and the rebirth of cities) is The Death and Life of Great American Cities (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_and_Life_of_Great_Am...). The upshot is that mixed use is the holy grail. Here, I can't tell is residential mixed in with commercial - that's how you get people out of cars.

It says mixed use - does that means there's commercial and residential in the same space? In my mind that's what makes for a city.

Lavabit also sent the private keys from their servers to clients using TLS that utilized RSA for key exchange. Levison was to put it into a word, a fool, for letting that happen. Once he had to submit the private RSA-key for the certificate, FBI could decrypt every past session, and every private key of every user. IMO he'd have to put a hell of a lot of effort if I'm ever going to look at his creations again.
20 hours for PT? Schedule only has PT down for 15 hours, 3 hour blocks x 5 nights, which is why FT has advantage over PT. Also the 5 extra hours are not explained at the start that we have to do on our own. Makes planning ahead a bit of a hassle. Another reason a lot of PT tell new people to do FT, it is more organized and better program.
So the idea is to have a kind of blank slate, 40 to 60% ortholinear keyboard, that I will be able to experiment with.

The base layout will be a small grid that will fit traditional (ie. dvorak;) layout but that I will also be able to change to my liking. I plan to be able to experiment with 3d printed keys to support traditional steno or maybe some other chorded method. I don't have much experience with steno so I want to keep my options open.

Configuration and dictionaries will be provided on an SD card.

The keyboard will be reversible (ie. the enclosure such that it will be possible to rotate entire mounting plate with the switches and PCB) to provide negative slope.

And yes, it will be RGB because even if the keys are not marked it is still nice to be able to see individual keys in the dark for more complicated Emacs bindings...
Anesthetized Monkeys Become Conscious Instantly with Deep Thalamus Stimulation
'"I'll give you some of my extra grain, because you seem kinda friendly, and you might repay me the favor if I happen to be in trouble in the future"?'

I think one way of looking at this is that humans are generally embedded in larger contexts, because we always come in communities. (The exceptions are, broadly speaking, historically uninteresting.) So it isn't just that Alice and Bob are sitting there at this isolated moment when Alice has grain and trying to work out if it's worth asking Bob, whom she has never met before, to trade the grain for a future favor. Alice and Bob know each other, and are embedded in a community. They have access to a reasonable approximation of each other's reputation. Alice knows whether or not Bob tends to default on his debts. Alice can make Bob pay for defaulting with his reputation, which can theoretically become so bad that nobody wants to trade with him, which in many historical circumstances may be a literal death sentence. (We are very wealthy, and casually trade with many strangers, and have a hard time internalizing the world they lived in.)

Attempts to model Alice and Bob's interactions as if they are strangers meeting for the first time, who generally expect to never see each other again, may be of some mathematical utility but won't explain the real world very well.

So, it's neither a formal debt in anything like the modern sense, but neither is it "maybe you'll repay me in the future"; there's not total assurance, but in the community context there's much higher assurance of future repayment than that.

After seeing your comment here yesterday, I started reading your book Initiative.

I am in the middle of the first exercise and have some questions.

Many of the examples in your book show people connecting these separate ideas that are reasonably understandable and applicable to the general population--the girl who recognized that many people have a fear of needles and sought to design a medical to device to help, or the student who liked going to festivals and thought about aligning attendee interests with the festivals' interests and waive attendance fees for attendees by having them volunteer at charities. It sounds like students in your class came up with relatable ideas by looking at problems in their lives that they noticed.

Right now, I'm merely a year into my career as a software engineer (having switched careers last year) and I am very interested in learning about good software engineering practices. I like seeing great CI/CD pipelines and being able to deliver very quickly. I like the sound of good DevOps practices (currently reading slowly through Accelerate by Forsgren) and I so far have really enjoyed reading books on scalability and reliability (Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Kleppmann is frequently recommended and I got a lot out of the book). I'm vaguely interested in MLOps.

I'm pretty happy being more of a cog in a machine right now so that I can see how an established company runs from the inside. I don't know that I'm immediately interested in a project that is more generalizable, the way your book examples are. But it does seem like an entrepreneurial mindset is still core to career progression since in the end a job is also about solving people's problems (where people may be inside or outside of the company). Thus I want to figure out how to use Initiative to iteratively improve my career.

I am wondering if people found success applying your Method Initiative concepts to a narrower scope in a specific technical field, and whether you could share some of those stories.
I wasn't very specific about the situation. You are right in the sense that trade makes sense only among equals, the rest would just be forced to give up their possesions. So we have to assume this isn't possible. We can assume I am standing on a cliff they can't easily reach. Or perhaps I have a few muscular non-thirsty buddies with me.
