Zettelkasten has been making the rounds here this year. His process appears similar to the org-mode process using Jethro Kuan's org-roam. I've started using it and while it can be a bit tricky to set up and there's a couple mildly annoying bugs (with workarounds), for a solo project it filled the niche for me perfectly. I use it for all note taking and reading now and it is very satisfying.

Gotta say the instructions are pretty awfully lacking. You go to the download page and you download the client and there's nothing that tells you what you're supposed to do after you download the client.

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and after downloading the client I had to do:

$ sudo update-rc.d FAHClient defaults
$ sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/fahclient_7.5.1_amd64.deb
$ sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient start

Yeah, it only took a few minutes of googling, but why not put that info on the download page?

I edited /etc/fahclient/config.xml so that gpu v = 'true', but It doesn't seem to be using the NVIDIA GPU after restarting the client. Any hints?

It's popular because everybody gets a check each fall that's been around $1500. One year the dividend was higher, just over $2k. There was also an "energy rebate" of $1200 that year, so every qualifying person in the state got $3200 that year. In a family of four, that's over $12k. Large families, for example 8 people, got $24k that year!

Some people use it well, putting some in the bank for their kids, paying off loans, etc. But many people just splurge every fall. There's an increase in alcohol and substance abuse-related incidents.

It has impacted politics significantly. We are no longer getting large influxes of cash every year, so there's an open question about how to fund our state's services. We could implement an income tax, but that's a hard sell. We could start tapping into the permanent fund principal, but anyone who proposes that gets trounced by politicians willing to "protect" people's pfd by slashing services. We could offer so much as a state, but people won't have it because they want their $1500 each fall.
Only if they automate it. But they don't have to. They could have local drivers rendezvous with long-haul trucks as they get close to destination cities. That would still let them cut their labor costs by 90%.

Things I believe about software development
universal health care has never meant that every possible heath care need is met without cost. It means that access to the covered services is universally available. Which of course isn't true in an absolute sense (residency requirements etc), but is true in most practical senses.
"nearly three-quarters of respondents who were working when the pilot project began kept at it despite receiving basic income."
So can we infer that 25% of those working chose to actually quit full time? I think it's safe to say this much reduction in labor availability is not the result the government was hoping for.
The state is right, maybe not to call it off prematurely but if these figures would have been the same after the trial the conclusion would have been: they need to look for another policy. A good 'normal' social security policy would result in 0 people quitting and a lot of people getting employed. That's the kind of result the government should want to see before even considering a change.

Basic income makes sense to me as a more effective implementation of welfare, but I personally strongly prefer the negative income tax implementation: https://mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-to-matter/negative-incom...

The pattern for early birds is they get an invite for a business dinner at 9PM (staying up late) and then they wake up at 4:30AM anyway, so they don't sleep enough when you make them stay up late.

Ask HN: Search strategies for finding a non-techincal co-founder?
I'm a solo technical founder working on a new startup. The product is fairly technical so after doing a bit of product-market testing I've been heads-down on it for the past month or so.

I know right away the area I need the most help with is the business side of things -- marketing, sales, market research, etc. But being a professional software engineer for 10+ years, the vast majority of my professional network consists of other engineers.

How do you go about searching for a biz-savvy partner? And what criteria do you use to evaluate them? I assume there's no Github or other such site for business folks.

I was talking about the general psyche of tolerating abusive assholes ( ie. Steve Jobs ) and eccentric renaissance man who we "know" will crash and burn but we rationalize it like "we'll get some indirect benefits, just like the whole NASA thing" or "at least the trains run on time".

There are justified reasons behind this, but also a lot of excuses. The whole Elon fever is something between Steve Jobs and the usual Hollywood actor talking politics on stage.
This of course directly contradicts the claim that people will keep working with UBI.
Redwood City, CA has actual, printed signs scattered around that say things like:

“Traffic school is boring. Slow down.”
“Speed limit 25 mph. It really won’t hurt.”
“Is today the day your speed hurts a child?”
“In a hurry? A speeding ticket will make you late!”
“What don’t you understand about 25 mph?”

and maybe a dozen more. They’re actually great indicators that the city doesn’t enforce the speed limits. Which makes the “ZERO TOLERANCE” speed sign the funniest one.

Edit: The city of Hayward, CA has a pedestrian crossing sign that says something to the effect of “Heads up! Cross the street, THEN update Facebook.”

The basic income experiment improved motivation to find a higher paying job for both employed and unemployed members but

> almost three-quarters of the respondents who were employed six months before receiving basic income were still working while receiving basic income. Nearly 80 percent of the respondents who were previously unemployed remained without work during the pilot. About 20 percent found employment.

So the majority of unemployed people stayed unemployed. Of the people employed prior to the pilot, about 23% became unemployed although in some cases it may have been to pursue more education.

> The unemployed group were three times more likely to report their general health had declined during the pilot as compared to the employed group.

The majority of the unemployed group reported improved general health but a significant portion of the unemployed group became worse off during the pilot.

The majority of participants did report improved well-being through a survey. The survey asked questions about general health, mental health, and financial well-being among others.

If the cost was $150,000,000 for 4,000 people for 3 years, the cost per year should be approx $50,000,000.

The articles states there are 2,000,000 people in poverty in the Ontario province so this program, if scaled up to all those in poverty, would be expected to cost $25,000,000,000 per year from simply scaling up the cost 500x.

Small population and they sell oil.
Everybody feels confident in the stack they have spent time using.. You like Kubernetes because you took the time to learn it, someone else will find Elastic Beanstalk or AWS ECS equally easy to setup and scale. It's not that Docker is the only way to deploy an application either, there are virtues of learning the serverless deployment modes as well on the various clouds. For many of the "proprietary lock-ins" you run into, you often get something back.

I do agree in point that kubernetes and Docker are nice of course :)

Yes, looks like the spot just north of the East Heath Road car park. I vaguely recall it being cordoned off for a while, but assumed it must have been related to the Hampstead Heath Ponds Project or something like that. It's not unusual to see cordons around there. They even had the top of Parliament Hill fenced off a few weeks back for filming a scene in one of the new Marvel films. Just goes to show that there could be all sorts of things going on that locals don't know about.

That said, its hard not to notice the big increase in homeless there has been in London over the past 5-10 years. I don't think that is all due to rising house prices - there are other factors like the big sell off of social housing.

Anyway, the bunker sounds ingenious, but is nowhere as big as that of the Mole Man of Hackney[0].

> The problem with this argument is that it proves too much. It's true of anything that causes the poor to have more money.

"The conclusion of this argument is deeply inconvenient, therefore the argument is wrong."

It's actually true that rising wages result in higher rents. It's plainly obvious that this is the case - otherwise why would anyone care about rent explosion wherever Amazon decides to put HQ2?
If people have the money to get care when they need it, it may actually reduce demand for care since we can catch problems and solve them before they end up so critical that people go to the ER.
Probably unpopular, but I am generally opposed to using Docker/Kubernetes for ~75%+ of projects. I've been in arguments over this, but containers being unmaintained and the complexity of Kubernetes can cause major issues. It's over engineering for smaller projects. That's just my opinion. I think a flat VM is more appropriate most of the time. But there is no denying the advantages of Docker when it's done right and used right.

A developer told me just a few weeks ago that you should "always" use Docker, which I just found to be so ridiculous.
Way to make my point for me.

The science is settled, but like everything else, untrained people can't tell the difference between a good study and a bad study, and the media reports on them all.

> But the roof they live under and the food they consume is very difficult to quantify.

No, it's very easy actually. The formula is: (rent + groceries) / 2.

So let's run the numbers for a simple case. One woman working at home, one man working at an office, no kids, both of them living in an appartement that costs $1000 / month and consuming $100 / week's worth of groceries.

If we're generous and say that it takes 3 hours / day, every day, to complete the at-home tasks, that means that the woman would've worked: (3 hours * 7 days * 4 weeks) => 84 hours / month.

At a minimum wage rate (because those are minimum wage level tasks), you get: 84 * ($7,25 / hour) = $609 / month.

Since the total spending was $1400 it means that the woman has under contributed a total of: ($1400 / 2 people) - $609 earned => $700 - $609 => $91.

This is of course without counting other expenditures like utilities, holidays, days-off, cars, etc.

> A woman looking after two kids every day is doing the same amount of work in a one bedroom apartment than she is in a mansion

Sure, but she also takes advantage of the mansion by living in it. Also, living arrangements are common decisions.

> A woman that loses her home because her husband gets fired from his job now has no compensation through no fault of her own.

A man who loses his job might lose his job and home through no fault of his own either. No difference there.
The only thing I would want to add is a minimum wage increase would cause employment to decrease holding all else equal, so an increase in supply would not be observed unless something else were at play.
This is just fun. People need to learn to have more fun like this. It's why I am always opting for Easter eggs in our software but NOOOOOO we are a serious company and serious companies don't like humor....
> The more you buy in to Kubernetes, the harder it is to do normal development

This demonstrates the bias and perspective of the author. The best way I can describe it is code-centric rather than system centric. If that's "normal" then the article makes some very valid points. For example, I've seen quite a few folks make the attempt to scale out badly when they could've scaled up rather easily. Very many "bigdata" problems can be handled on a single machine with a terabyte of memory.

If one shares that code-centric perspective, then yeah, k8s probably isn't for you. The real benefit in overcoming the very validly criticized complexity of k8s is the number of things that happen without intervention.

From a systems-level perspective, all these things are crucial. Services are abstracted with endpoints by default. Liveness and readiness are built in. Self-healing is built in. A consistent model by which apps are deployed is built in. Logging, metrics, and SLA monitoring while not built in can all be added and employed without intervention.

Ideally, these things abstract the infrastructure sufficiently well that it allows developers to focus on development, rather than ancillary tasks like deployment, monitoring, resilience, etc.

Welding by hand is both an art and a science. There is going to be variability in the quality of the weld, which will introduce variability into the strength. Machines can be far more precise and consistent compared to humans.

They probably designed their tolerances assuming perfect welds and then didn't have them.
But with UBI, maybe larger networks of people could move together. For example, a single mom can't move to a new city to take a job because she relies on her parents for childcare, and her father can't leave his job. But with UBI they could all move together if it made sense for them. Her extended family could move with her and pay for expenses with UBI until they all found new jobs.

Has anyone looked into Ethos Capital? According to LinkedIn, they have a founder and two other employees -- one analyst and one associate (in India). There is another Ethos Capital in the Los Angeles area, but I can't determine if there's any relation. Typically PE shops with >$1 billion in AUM (assets under management) would have several analysts and associates to do due diligence before deals. Less than 40% of funds have >$1 billion AUM. [1] It's especially rare for a fund to start with such a large amount unless there's a prominent founder. A MD from a relatively unknown PE shop with $2B AUM doesn't qualify. As someone who interned in PE last summer, Ethos seems very odd to me.

EDIT: Looking into it more and they list a "Chief Purpose Officer" on their website.
