> and there are likely few other buyers he could ethically sell to

Anyone that wanted to develop a real business based on a tremendous four letter .com address, which is a vast selection of potential buyers he could ethically sell to.

The name itself, independent of the inbound sensitive stream of data, is worth a lot. Any major enterprise company in the US could trivially develop policies to deal with the inbound sensitive data while using the name for a legitimate business. This one guy has been dealing with it just fine for two decades.

QuestDB co-founder and CTO here - happy to share questdb, a performance-driven open-source time-series database that uses SQL.

High performance databases have a reputation of being inaccessible. They are expensive, closed-source, and require
complex proprietary languages.

We have made our code available under Apache 2.0. Under this new release, QuestDB leverages SIMD instructions, vectorizations and parallel execution to achieve performance figures at the top of the high-performance databases. Results are shown in our blog post.

I sincerely hope that you will find this helpful, and that this will unlock new possibilities! In the meantime, we will carry on working on QuestDB, adding more features, and taking this speed to more query types. Feel free to join us on slack or Github if you want to participate.

This is utterly fascinating.

To be clear -- it stores a low-res version in the output file, uses neural networks to predict the full-res version, then encodes the difference between the predicted full-res version and the actual full-res version, and stores that difference as well. (Technically, multiple iterations of this.)

I've been wondering when image and video compression would start utilizing standard neural network "dictionaries" to achieve greater compression, at the (small) cost of requiring a local NN file that encodes all the standard image "elements".

This seems like a great step in that direction.

I'm not sure exactly why, but common sense would state that, with treatment-resistant participants, you already know "1000 things that don't work", and so you've narrowed the search space.

If the way they're doing this treatment involves hitting the subject with magnetic stimulation in "all possible parts of the search space" that might potentially solve the problem, then if you've already half-treated a subject (stimulated one entire side of their brain, say) and it didn't work, that means both that they're "treatment-resistant" and that the second treatment should only focus on the other half of the brain.

I think the success of such a workflow says a lot of positive things both about drewdevault and git.

With respect to git, this is yet another successful workflow conducted through git. While git may have its flaws, one cannot deny that many different workflows are enabled by it.

And with respect to this particular workflow, I think it says that drewdevault makes largely self-contained commits with good commit messages and that constantly work. I have been on projects using branched development with people who sometimes make commits that break things, but that then fix them in other commits, with a does-it-really-matter-before-it's-merged-anyway attitude. And I have been on projects where the default commit message is absolutely lousy. (And I am currently involved in a project where both of these are true).

But to be able to successfully rebase and reorder and cherrypick commits says a lot to me about highly disciplined organization. I would expect many workflows to be enabled by such habits.

We had brown rice and broccoli for dinner last night. Time to cook the rice was about 45 minutes, the broccoli about 5. Time involved was maybe five minutes: measure rice and water, bring to boil, put on the lid. Later on, peek at it for progress. For the broccoli, wash, cut up and put into the pot, bring to boil, prod with fork.

Of course there is a time cost in shopping, but the broccoli and rice made up a small part of the shopping runs that included them.

> because consumers and small businesses usually cannot overturn a monopoly

But they can somehow fight the abuse and manipulation companies can expertly unleash on them? How is the uninformed consumer better prepared to combat this than a monopoly? Millions of individual consumers speaking with millions of voices have absolutely no chance against a companies with a single voice and a single goal. Companies hold far more cards than a regular consumer ever will. How much time can you dedicate towards protecting yourself and not being abused? Because a company can dedicate a lot of time into finding better ways to abuse or manipulate you.

It's a misguided belief that the Government intervening is intrinsically bad, or that any decision taken at individual level is intrinsically good simply because it proves "freedom". And this stems from lack of education and the unwillingness to accept that most individuals are woefully unprepared to fight back a never ending assault. But you can easily see the "converts" angrily shouting at the Government whenever they get trampled by yet another company. One of the more clear examples is when people who got scammed out of they cryptocurrencies went from "boo regulation" to "why didn't the government do anything" without missing a beat.

All of these things you have listed have existed for decades and barely hold 10% of their respective market. And please don't give the example of linux. Linux cannot be compared with other products which don't get free programming contributions and community support. Linux is nothing like its competitors.

Hi HN,

I built letsgoremote.ca over the weekend and will admit it is a little rough around the edges so I would absolutely love any feedback or ideas to improve the experience.

The reason why I built this was to help newly "remote-ized" companies or individuals to go through a quick quiz and learn about some of the tools that are available to them. I assume a lot of you are remote work experts, but these tools/services are completely foreign to a large part of the population and this part of the population are the ones that we are really trying to help in some fashion.

You can read more about the mission here: https://letsgoremote.ca/mission

If you have any feedback/ideas or want to help in anyway either pop on over to https://letsgoremote.ca/help or respond in the comments here.

Hope this can be helpful to at least someone!

>Is there an outside definition of medical ethics that can really be impartially compared from generation to generation?

That's a legitimate criticism of doing anything, but the problem is that it applies to, well, anything. Anything you do today could be seen as a horrifying atrocity by future generations, unless there exists some kind of boundary on what ethical stances a culture might adopt. There could be limits, but in that case there is an outside definition of medical ethics. If there isn't an outside definition then maybe in 100 years haircuts will be seen as mutilation[0].

The first time I heard of an Atari reboot was... Pong 3D I think? Must've been twenty years ago. I mean it was an enjoyable enough game but it definitely wasn't Atari's revival.

I think at this point the company will work best for just selling merchandise, Atari T-shirts and stuff. Maybe mobile versions of their games like they did recently with Missile Command. But that would be purely financial, definitely nothing revolutionary.

I write about logistics and supply chain topics at greenleaves.io. The first, loose article series about Vendor Managed Inventory and consignment stock is done.

Lately, I'm not as fast in writing new stuff as I wished, so.

Why is it awesome? Having a look at these things from a operational perspective is different from the pure theory. Also, why it obviously is a blog on my company website, sales leads and content marketing are at best a nice side effect. The main purpose is to give people ideas and maybe point them in the right direction.

Why should people read it? Because logistics are an integral, and as is shown now, critical part of our lives. Getting a better idea of how these things works and how people in the field work, can be a good thing.

The range of opinions of Cromwell amongst modern and historic Britons is even wider than the range of views Cromwell chose to project [a man known not only for winning a war for Parliamentary prerogative and then permanently dissolving Parliament, but also both for enforcement of extreme Puritanism and murderous repression of Catholics and and for drafting comparatively tolerant legislation on freedom of worship and allowing Jews to return to England]

The reviewer Simon Heffer, an admirer of influential historian Carlyle who put Cromwell at the centre of his 'Great Man' theories of history and did more to rehabilitate Cromwell's image in British eyes than anyone else, represents one extreme of that range of opinion.
