I think I get what the OP meant, or at least I have my interpretation of it.

I used to be fairly blasé about pirating software, justifying it with the belief that the prices were just too high. I came to believe that was really a pretty weak justification. I went through a somewhat similar change of belief later when it came to video; it's easy to talk yourself into the belief that copying TV shows and movies for free is somehow a strike against big corporations, but unless you're up for entirely reinventing the way our economy works, at the end of the day somebody really does have to pay for those shows and movies to be created, and pirating them is essentially declaring "I want to enjoy this work, I just want somebody else to pay for me doing so."

But:

There are cases where you might want to give your money to a creator or publisher and you literally can't. Up until a few years ago, no amount of money would have been able to get you the whole series of WKRP in Cincinnati on DVD, especially with the original music, for instance. The soundtrack for The Last Unicorn was never released on CD anywhere but Germany, as far as I can tell, and it's become a rare, expensive collector's item. There are hundreds of TV shows like this, thousands of movies, thousands of records, thousands of novels, thousands of programs -- and I'm probably vastly underestimating each of those categories. Their analog releases, if they were ever made, are long out of print and they were never officially released digitally.

And, I'll admit, in those cases I'm perfectly okay with piracy. The rights holder either can't or won't release it, and you can't get it legally. One can argue in such a case you'd have a moral obligation to buy an official release if and when it's made, perhaps, but that may never happen.

Really interesting. Would be nice to see documentation. All their examples show modifying the database by running command line sql queries, does it turn up a normal mysql instance or just emulate? Are hooks available in Go? Surprised they don't market it as a blockchain database. I'm building a Dapp right now and this could be really useful.

I largely solved this problem by charging $5 per RSVP on Meetup. I had to rent my venue, so nobody thought I was profiteering.

That said, a deposit would probably work even better. E.g. you put up something like a $10 deposit to RSVP, and are charged the full amount if you no-show, but only a nominal fee if you show up.

I think this is a great decision on Airbnb’s part. It will make hosts trust that Airbnb is a stable source of income even in disastrous times. And Airbnb can keep the most of their hosts (at least for the time being).

Added benefit is it will actually help some people out.

The seller's main utility in selling is to realize the losses for tax purposes.

The buyer isn't buying for tax offsets. They're buying at deep discounts because they're often the only bidder and the hope that they occasionally find themselves taking on some asset for which the sellers have vastly underestimated the value (such as some obscure patent).
I'm a fan of increased federal funding, but there's also a massive problem with the pricing of scientific supplies and chemicals. We commonly see 2-3x and sometimes 10x differences in prices for the exact same item from the same manufacuturer. We're (https://labspend.com) tackling this problem but it's massive and not often mentioned or known by people outside of the lab. We've consulted with companies and help them identify millions in savings.

A couple of issues contribute which are the pricing isn't transparent like hospitals in the USA. Also there are only 2-3 major suppliers and for certain items it's essentially a monopoly.

> Not following closely to the CPU industry. What right steps have AMD taken to achieve the recent success (compared with Intel)?

For decades, Intel has benefited from some of the most advanced microchip fabrication facilities in the world.

This had three benefits for Intel:

3) CPUs manufactured on cutting edge fabs can do more work with less power

2) CPUs manufactured on cutting edge fabs can get more work done without overheating

1) When you have the best CPUs in the world, you can sell them at huge margins. Basically people are willing to pay twice as much for that last 5-10% in performance.

And then it all came crashing down for Intel. Suddenly, AMD had swapped positions with Intel, offering CPUs that are more advanced and manufactured on a more advanced process.

Even worse for Intel, CPUs take YEARS to get to market. The last time that AMD was beating Intel was after 1995, when AMD acquired a chip maker named "NexGen": https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-10-21-fi-59417-...

My understanding is that the standard Wireguard basically exposes all devices on LAN A to all devices on LAN B. A fair amount of software has to be added around it to use it for a single-machine-through-VPN-to-internet connection. Maybe commercial VPN providers have most of that software already, I don't know. But Wireguard by itself is not complete for that application.

Whole Foods Employees Are Staging a Nationwide 'Sick-Out'
Despite the 'common knowledge', plants do utilize most of the visible light spectrum, even green, just in different amounts. And on top of that these white LEDs aren't just a single static white, their light spectrum are tuned to specific growth spectrum and can be ordered however you want, but all come out visibly to us as white of slightly different shades.

Those blurple lights are just awful, and not only do the LEDs have far less energy efficiency being old tech, but their supposed "optimal" wavelengths are anything but. They are blasting out extremely narrow wavelengths of light and trying to make it more continuous by using a bunch of slightly different narrow range colors, but it doesn't work as well as one would hope, especially when they are coming from different point sources.
Hi all,

Hope you are safe and well.

I would like to know your feedback and first impressions on https://www.probstack.io a community to find problems that are worth solving!

A place to raise, discuss and get problems solved that are worth it organically.

A little background on how it all started in 2019.

I have seen successful failures with most of my projects since last few years except 'How's It Like' - www.howsitlike.com which is doing great! ;) This took me back to the first step of understanding if I'm looking at the right problem at all that needs a solution. Often times, I found majority of the products are solving something that is not actually broken and not worth fixing it.

I started curiously searching for some real problems from users so that I can pick the most pressing problem in that list and work on that. I ended up finding thousands of articles and content on how to find problems that are worth solving but there is no actual platform where this can be initiated. I've seen loads of time, effort and money going into products that ended up failing and most of the times, the reason being the product is not of interest to the users!

This is where our initial MVP started off in 2019 Feb..

Kicked off in February 2019 with a small community of people raising, discussing and sharing problems in an excel sheet.

In April 2019, we have launched 'ProShareUs' - 'Share your problems with us' through a minimal product and that helped us reach more people.

And in 2020, we are redesigning and rebranding our product as 'Probstack' - 'Find problems that are worth solving' to better reflect our mission and stand out.

I'm happy to be re-launching very soon and would love to speak to people who have frustrating problems and also to curious makers who are looking for valuable problems.

Here is our landing page meanwhile we launch - https://www.probstack.io

Many thanks!!

This code might not be closed source, but it's definitely not open source - please be careful about your language. It's source available. Open source software is software which meets the open source definition: https://opensource.org/osd

If GitLab truly cares about open source (and I believe you do), you should be protecting the term from misuse.

That does not follow. Long-running CPU-only tasks are a thing and they may not be aware of each other.

With cooperative multitasking, launching something like a parallel compilation would make your machine unusable.

>"but how is it not "double tax" by the same logic?"

It's not really the same logic. If I own 100% of the shares of company A, and I make a profit of $100, I have to pay a tax on that profit. Now I have $75. Now I want to use that money to buy an XBox, so I move that money from my company account to my bank account (again, I own the company, the money is already mine), but I have to pay another "income" tax. This is the "double" tax, there is no "transaction". But lets ignore that, if you could avoid sales tax, wouldn't you? This is how shopping online worked pretty much up until 2016.

IMO, we should just get rid of the corporate tax and simply tax cap gains and dividends more. It would solve the issue of corporations parking money in Ireland and loading up on debt domestically.
Wait, what? How do you do this?

I think you're talking about "The SQLite Amalgamation" - https://www.sqlite.org/amalgamation.html. I hadn't heard of it before, so thanks for encouraging me to look it up - seems like it might come in handy!
A negative side effect of modern development is having to manage and endless string of dependencies, whether they are software related or service related. The bigger you are the more things you likely depend on and the more staff you need simply to maintain things.

It doesn’t surprise me at all that these kinds of sites require a lot of staff. Most startups are powered by short term decisions and short term thinking. We don’t design things to last more than a few years at best.
Aside from voting for whoever wins the Democratic primary this time around? Get over COVID-19 as fast as I can so I'm able to volunteer to make PPE, donate plasma for serum antibodies if that ever becomes a thing where I am, and whatever else I can find that might help. Granted, I'd be doing that no matter who I voted for in 2016, but if there's some extent to which it qualifies as atonement for prior foolishness, then I'll do it for that too, I suppose. If you've got any other ideas, I'd be interested to hear them.
AMD has been beating Intel since Pentium 4 and until Conroe (1st gen Core), early this century.
That would explode the state machine size and make its performance characterization very hard.

And you would need to avoid having any kind of call to external code (or yield before and after every such call, and pray for the best).
It only works well if you have a decent amount of large enterprise customers (like RedHat); I don't think it will work out well for GitLab, which is mostly aimed at small-to-medium businesses. I don't think it's viable for most projects (otherwise they would be using it).

Even if it is viable, you're usually leaving a lot of money on the table, and even Red Hat – the poster child of this model – does stuff like releasing updates to paying customers first.
Their ignorance is not required, they certainly should be aware it was stolen if they're any good at their job. All you need is someone who's willing to accept cash.
Intel still best on idle power use because of on package regulator, and still better powergating
You're right, it can't be that small. But it doesn't need be that large either.

This is HN so commenters are focusing on the technical aspects where Meetup is clearly bloated for what the site delivers. However there's plenty of work to occupy several FT positions, just in customer support alone, when you're selling something to consumers online. Sales, HR, finance, legal and general admin are all necessary to operate at their scale.
People don't choose sites like Meetup for the features. They use it because it provides discoverability that would otherwise take effort outside of Meetup.com.

I've run a few Meetup.com groups in my time, and I currently run the LA Ember.js meetup. I still choose to use Meetup because it's ridiculously easy to get people to join and show up. When I've done Facebook or Eventbrite, I had to put in effort, but all I have to do on Meetup is pay the monthly fee and people will come.

If what you say is true, then there would be a new verb to replace it. Can you name one? I can't really.
Since there are GitLab insiders in this thread, a question: has GitLab ever discussed the possibility of simply making Enterprise Edition actually open source/free software, all at once, and simply continuing to charge for it like you already do? You can sell free/open-source software, and you already offer things like paid support in your pricing model.

>Dutch government bought KN95 and tested it against FFP2 and claims it's defective.

The SCMP article says

>Dutch broadcaster NOS cited a source saying that the Chinese face masks were “not FFP2 quality nor of the lesser safety level of FFP1 – some sort of FFP0.8 at best”,

While I can understand that it can be taken to mean that the masks were subjected to to FFP2 testing (including oil penetration), that would be a very uncharitable/cynical interpretation. A more charitable interpretation of that would be that the FFP2/FFP1 standards are being referenced without oil penetration testing involved, since europe doesn't seem to have separate standards for oil/non-oil like with N95/P95 in north america. This theory is consistent with them comparing against a fictitious standard/rating of FFP0.8.

Also, I did some research myself and found the original statement by the health ministry[1]. It actually made no mention of FFP ratings, and only acknowledged that the masks carried a KN95 rating, and that the masks "did not meet the quality standard", which I've taken to mean KN95 rating, not FFP2 rating. I could not find any source that directly said the masks were tested against FFP2 (with oil penetration) and failed.

I loved Dune, the second book less so (lack of Muad'Dib, I guess). What else can I read that is at that level of quality?
I don't see why not it wouldn't work, assuming you got the process right and produced them in a clean enough environment. Yields would probably be lower than that of a professional foundary during the 60s or 70s that was processing at the same feature size. Performance of your DIY 6502 would probably be lower as well -- requiring more power and producing more waste heat to run at a lower clock rate than that of an original.

So would it work? Possibly. Work as well? Less likely.

All IMO, of course.
