The Roaring Twenties happened in the absence of a vaccine or even pharmaceutical treatment. Every person was forced to take a risk calculation, and for most people the result of that calculation was "idk epidemics happen sometimes let's go dancing". Unless the average person has become radically more risk averse in the past century, we'll be prepared to ignore the virus in the medium to long term, no matter how good our response is now.
Sounds like “is” is lower precedence than ==. Nothing to see here folks, move along?

There's a pizza place up in the Tenderloin (SF) that I occasionally order from (I used to live a couple blocks from them and would walk in all the time). I would order on Grubhub because that was how they were set up to do delivery. (I believe they link to Slice from their website now for delivery.) The delivery person was always someone from the shop itself, not someone who worked for Grubhub. Now I wonder how much GH was skimming off the top, even though they weren't really providing all that much.

I'm starting to like slashes in branch names. They are so easy to visually grasp a list of branches.

Do you recall any of the problems you had? I'm frequently using checkout/rebase/merge workflow and never had any problems. But I always felt I am not using all features got had to offer.
- Any relatively high traffic keyword has such spammy front pages that you have to append things like "reddit" or "hacker news" to your query to try and find something useful

- Anything that hints at the fact your looking for a product is dominated by the products themselves whereas a lot of the times you want unbiased advice, eg which category of product should I buy. Comparison sites themselves are very untrustworthy (for the most part)

- If your "learning" something (eg guitar, weight lifting, random hobby, programming) its usually a year or so in before you know the best resources to learn with. However insights like this aren't easy to find so everyone goes through the motions

- Again if your learning something the material is not split between "depth" levels. Eg the resources needed for learning about "black holes" for a layperson VS someone with a strong interest in space VS a physicist are different. As are news etc.

PS An improvement in search is badly needed, good luck with your project.

Summit is the 5th is the Green500 list[1] which means that it is pretty efficient for a supercomputer and outperform by a NISQ. However, this doesn't include the time of the calculation. If this take 10s with summit and 1 month with a quantum computer, I can maybe have the same enery efficiency with a raspberry and a solar panel. Joke aside, if the time for the solution is greater with a quantum computer, it can void the interest of the result.

Playdate Programming
Yeah in Poland it would be about 10PLN(so also about $3). But the the labour and rent are super cheap, even if the ingredients are high quality - that's where the saving will come from .
The whole restaurant experience is not very enjoyable to me. There is a lot of noise, either because it is crowded and people talk loudly or because of music. Chairs, tables, and tableware are often not comfortable. Service is not that great: I have to wait to order, for my food, for my check, and so on. There are not many options that fit my dietary choices and food is surprisingly often fat, salty or sweet to the extent that I am not tasting the ingredients any more.

How am I to make this enjoyable in a restaurant? At home, at least, I can select ingredients and cook the meal to my taste. I have seats and tableware I am used to and are comfortable to me. I can talk and listen to the people I care about. And this better experience is significantly cheaper than in a restaurant, which means I can have this every day!
I think he's saying the passion factor will increase the supply. I think the same thing happens some with programming, it's just a lot fewer people have the passion (and ability?) than for cooking food.

The same thing happens with teachers, nurses, firemen, police... I think the reason they generally don't make more money is many people have a passion for doing those jobs (ask ten kids what they want to be when they grow up), but they aren't super difficult, so there's a large supply.

I'm looking for work as either a full-time employee, or on a contract basis. My specialties are around computer graphics and developing tools with difficult UI requirements, but I'm a good person to have around for any kind of project where you need someone who can prioritize effectively, learn quickly, communicate well, and do whatever needs to be done on the development side.

Most of my professional experience has been as an early startup employee, though I've also done a variety of work on a contract basis, from advising and leading development on a web-based CAD tool project, to helping artists to implement their ideas in software, to doing R&D for a LiDAR point cloud "surface reconstruction" project.
Ask HN: How do you recover an account on Coinbase?
I registered an account on Coinbase over 2 years ago against an email from a company that used to exist. Since then, I lost the email address, because the company does not exist anymore.

For the last 12 months I have been ringing Coinbase monthly and submitting support tickets, only to be completely ignored because nobody gets back to me at all.

My estimate is the account probably has about $300 in it.

I have looked online and noticed hundreds of people with the same kind of experience - i.e. losing their 2FA or GA keys and getting locked out and ignored in a similar fashion.

Surely Coinbase is a ponzi scheme. Has anyone had any experiences where they actually managed to get a response from Coinbase support? Of course, what interest do they have in actually getting back to me. I don't think there's actually any law against ignoring me to steal my magic money.
Gaming and other cheap (fixed-price) entertainment is often counter-cyclical. When people get laid off they have more time to fill; similarly, when the general mood is depressed, people look for things that will distract them from their miserable predicament.

There're some other niche examples, eg. liquidation specialists and bankruptcy lawyers. These are pretty obvious ones: anything that people do when they lack money tends to get a boost in a recession.

Cash only also means you can skip on paying (part) of the taxes because there is no record of any transactions.
Is it a work for $0 market due to passion though? I love programming. I am either programming, writing, or sleeping.

I wouldn't live in a box with roommates to be one though. I think many of us would find regular engineering or analytics jobs instead. Slightly less interesting, but we could still program within those jobs.

People who love food are basically willing to live in poverty to do it.
The problem space Vulkan and Metal solves is not high level cross platform graphics (which OpenGL tries to solve), it’s low level control over the GPU.

That’s the problem they’re trying to solve, it’s not about cross platform.

You might ask, ‘Then why is OpenGL deprecated?’. The answer is that Apple is just deprecating it’s own support since there’s a more low level API, OpenGL should be implemented on top of Metal, which (for example) MoltenGL is.
IBM computers!? Have not heard for quite awhile. Thought they quit the PC world to Lenovo for quite sometimes la.
Since I learned Erlang first and I really like it I have no issues with its syntax. I do not even understand people complaining about it. Elixir is just Ruby(ish) syntax on the top, it does not add anything (or takes away anything) at least to me. I write a lot of F# so I think I probably like it because Elixir took some of the features from F# (or ML languages). It is nice to have a pipe operator. One piece of functionality that is nice to have is fmt. You can format your code before committing to the repo, this takes away some of the bikeshed arguments. Other than that I am not using much from Elixir. Jose is a really smart Erlang guy though. He used to hang out on IRC and StackOverflow answering Erlang questions. Straight Erlang is fine.

* Restaurant cooks/servers are the equivalent of hand washing clothes. We have washing machines - technology has enabled humanity to do a great deal more with their life, let's move in that direction please.*

Maybe you might as well drink Soylent. Washing clothes or dishes is a chore. Cooking food is a social event and lots of people like cooking and creating food.

If anything automation of mundane tasks will lead to more food being cooked by humans. I’ll also eat my hat if you can get a robot to cook an 8 course degustation.
Great. So you do not have any experience with the worst-case scenario. That is exactly my point. I would like to hear your opinion once you fixed an outage that is caused by K8s.

I wonder how much of the association of poverty with crime can be explained by poor nutrition.
Yea, a döner can be made for far less money.

They're using over-the-top expensive premium ingredients, but if you just use regular supermarket ingredients, you could make a döner for far far less. Let me attempt a prices breakdown:

I'm in the U.S., and the nearby Aldi sells boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $2.49 per pound (a restaurant could probably order in bulk, and get that an even lower price). A pound is 453 grams. There's probably only 100 grams of meat in a döner. So 113g of chicken in a döner should cost around $0.50. (It cost them $2.50, a 5x premium.)

Pre-packaged pita bread (döner wrappers) probably cost far far less than $0.75. I'm not going to analyze, but I'm going to guess it actually costs closer to between $0.05 and $0.10. Then there's the sauce. It too, when bought it bulk, likely costs less than $0.10 per döner.

So that's all to say you can definitely make a good döner in the U.S. for less than $1 per döner in terms of ingredient costs.

In terms of labor cost -- if you pay someone $15/hour, and if they take 1 minute per döner, which is definitely possible if you do things assembly-style, then the labor cost is $0.25 per döner. If you're less efficient, then maybe the labor cost is $0.50 per döner.

So now labor + ingredients is somewhere between $1.25 to $1.50.

Lastly, there's rent/utilities/etc. This totally depends on where you're located, but assumeing you're in a non-super-expensive area, let's guesstimate it costs around $1 total per döner purchased to cover these things.

We've reached a final cost price of $2.50 per döner. I can see how a 3 euro price is totally achievable in Germany.

Food can be cheap in the U.S., even in nice neighborhoods. As an example, I offer "Tara Inn", a tiny old local restaurant in Port Jefferson, NY. (Their menu: https://zmenu.com/tara-inn-port-jefferson-online-menu/) They sell pretty darn good hamburgers for $1.00 each, cheeseburger for $1.50 a piece, a grilled chicken sandwich for $2.00, etc. And the food there is actually good. This, in a neighborhood (North Shore Long Island) where the typical family income is $100k+. (Although the immediate vicinity of Port Jefferson is not considered super-bougey by north shore folks.)

There's another reason why döners can be fairly expensive in the US (even at a places using non-premium ingredients). Turkish cuisine is still somewhat exotic here. The US doesn't have the huge fairly-recent immigrant Turkish population that Germany has, so döners fall under the realm of "exotic mediterranean" foods. Hence their higher-than-typical prices.
To add to this, the Dönnerbude is probably in a part of the city where rents are low (whereas US restaurants are often in designated city center high rent areas), and the Dönnerbude is usually very, very small.
It's a bit cliched, but I agree with a T shaped approach. One of my mentors told me that I was wearing too many hats, and I should focus on a single topic and develop deep expertise to advance my career. On the other hand, in a world where technologies get obsolete faster than you can master them, I wouldn't feel safe without a broad base of knowledge.
Is this applicable to vape salts as well?
Goodbox | Bangalore | Frontend Engineer, Mobile Dev | Full-time, Contract, Intern | Bangalore / Remote (within India)

Goodbox is an online grocery store that helps consumers to order from local supermarkets and get orders fulfilled within 2 hours. We provide online storefront as well as give logistics support to local grocery supermarkets to help them be competitive with pure online stores. We believe in making the local grocer be competitive enough that it can take the whole consumption potential around its 1-2 km radius. Doing all these in a unit-economics positive way (yeah, I know) is our goal, and we already are quite close to achieving 0 burn per delivery. Higher concentration of demand, Sensible delivery radius and flexible delivery SLA - is what is making this possible.
We're currently operational in parts of BLR.

You (and me) sound like the target market of Soylent. I don't think it's bad.

If everyone treats nutrients as necessities and dining as treats, reckon over time people will be willing to pay more for dining than they do now, making the whole sector more financially sustainable.

People like us helps uncommoditize dining.
Removing macOS mouse acceleration is mandatory for me to not go crazy. I'm using this script now: https://github.com/docwhat/killmouseaccel

Downside is it's a one-shot sensitivity which can't be adjusted, owing to the hacky nature of it, which was semi-found-by-chance to boot. After lots of searching on threads, seems this is one of the only hacks that works, so doesn't seem to be much support from macOS on this stuff.

Used to have an app format of this so I didn't have to run the console command every time at login, but need to find an updated solution for Catalina.
Some animals perceive movement much more quickly than we do, so standard 24 or 30 FPS video appears like a slideshow to them (apparently pigeons fit this category, I have no idea which animals it was tested for).

For binocularity, I'm not as sure, but it may be that with different eye setups, perspective has different rules to appear realistic.

There is also the simple fact that images on a screen don't appear realistic to us either, we just choose to take interest in them because we understand what they are meant to represent.
I don't disagree with you, but I do want to explicitly call out how uncommon it is for most people to be able to afford a car in cash. A decent used car, say 3-4 years old with 40-50,000 miles on it with a certified inspection/warranty (which, again, most people are wildly unqualified to actually inspect a used vehicle themselves) can easily cost over $15k, and we're not talking indulgent luxury vehicles, but sedans or crossovers from Toyota, Subaru, etc.

Based on the median U.S. income, it could take literally years expecting no additional discretionary income to come up with that kind of cash, or even longer if individuals are trying to keep cash reserves to situations like one we're currently experiencing. In practice. owning a car as an asset it generally considered a positive versus alternatives like leasing, which results in the accumulation of no vehicle equity over time.

There's not really a great solution here. Cars are capital assets--they're complicated to build yet already somewhat commoditized in their pricing. They can also last for much longer than most other consumables assuming reasonable use. With regular maintenance, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume well over 10 years of use from most modern vehicles, with most automotive loans having a shorter period. I'm not sure I can think of another commonly-used product that closely matches those conditions...

I think trying to collapse this into a simple explanation is a simple mistake when other countries around the world have the same 'competition' and not the same issues.

So when you start looking at issues with American restaurants vs other countries, a different picture starts to arise. One with a whole lot of rent-seeking behavior.
“Founded a startup” is absolutely but trivially correct because every company is a startup by any definition in the immediate aftermath of its founding. The question is just about what criteria make sense for declaring that a company has graduated from a startup to an established company.

Criteria like “founded in the last Y years”, “has fewer than N employees”, “has market cap under $X”, “is in a fresh/hot industry” alone or in combination end up including dramatically different sets of companies.

First, I don't see how you can call it price-fixing given that we are talking of an industry with thousands and thousands of isolated players.

But even going with the sentiment behind your claim, it's not unfair to say that if you like the restaurant eating experience it is in your benefit that it remains profitable enough for people to open restaurants.
> it reads as the typical piece from the "bro culture" that massively ignores the rest of the world.

Why should articles need to be generalized to the world? It certainly fits the Canadian and US markets. You can't have comprehensive coverage of everything and everyone in an article.

Startup implies tech and/or "nontraditional" business and also tends to imply VC money. A restaurant isn't a "startup" because it's a restaurant, a hardware store is a hardware store. But what is a VC backed meal kit company: a startup. There's no actual word for it so startup is the catchall term
> But, either the apps are bringing in more sales than the restaurants can drum up on their own, and it's therefore mutually beneficial, OR the restaurants are losing money on every app sale, in which case they should pull out. Am I wrong?

You're not wrong, but you're missing some of the nuance to how the relationship has evolved.

Even if there's a benefit, a service like Grubhub can easily become parasitic as they grab more of the market. It's getting to the point that you'll get basically zero delivery orders if you try to go your own way and hire your own delivery drivers, and expect people to use your website or -- god forbid -- call you on the phone to place orders.

People very often to use these apps to figure out what they want to order. The other way around ("hey, I really want Bob's Pizza tonight, lemme open up Grubhub and see if they're on there") is becoming less and less common.

So restaurants are forced to be on these platforms to get any takeout business at all, but find that they have to work twice (or more) as hard to make up for all the fees the platform charges. And the platform can get away with it, because they've squeezed out the option of self-delivery for most places.

> I hardly ever use any of these apps because the mark-up is insane, and it's rarely quicker than just picking the food up myself.

I wish there were more people like you, but it seems like you're a dying breed.
Using SF prices to represent the US would be like using Swiss prices to represent Europe.
May I introduce you to the video games industry? While there are good paying jobs out there, I'd risk saying the vast majority of people working in games are hugely underpaid. At my first job I was literally told "yeah the pay is crap, but you get to work on big titles so it's fine". And it's not just demand and supply - we're having a very hard time recruiting for senior positions as there just aren't any candidates around, but the pay is still very poor compared to other industries.
I am certain this is some kind of fallacy, since "house" is an abstraction that would need to be broken down somehow. The result would not be a simple problem anymore. Sorry, no fancy words, just common sense.
