Ask HN: Best Secondary Market for Space Startups?
I am in the process of potentially selling my shares in a privately held, profitable, space startup. Is there a recommended “secondary market” to use? Also, any general advise would be welcome. I am aware of the accredited investor restriction on selling shares, and the restrictions on “public offerings” (so please be clear this is a solicitation for advice not selling shares.

Thank you all in advance!
You can find benchmarks for CPUs going back to 2004 on PassMark:

The frequencies may not have increased beyond 2-3 GHz but the speed has still got faster because modern processors are much smarter and are able to do more work per cycle. They have all sorts of fancy tricks to do that - speculative execution, hyperthreading, branch prediction, etc.
Or maybe red warning lights instead of yellow warning lights. Maybe they have changed it. But yellow lights to me doesn't suggest "you absolutely need to stop".

edit: okay. Now they have a sign. With white lettering. In a location where we know from years of experience drivers aren't looking. This makes no sense to me. Everything about this is bad design.

ARM hasn't. Apple has. Apple's implementation of the ISA since A6 is unrelated to ARM's.

On Launching Every Week
Industrialization and Baumol's cost disease are the reasons why.

For the same reasons that you need to go to an artisinal bakery to get handmade bread today, you cannot get anything with significant ornament in it without paying enormously. Industrial bakeries are far more efficient so only a select few can afford to pay for good bread, and so there are far fewer individual bakers, and they're more expensive because there's less demand - they can't make it up on volume. It's the same with artisans.

My father was a plasterer in his 20s, and worked with old men who did the ceiling decorations in the British Embassy in Dublin. But they were the last of their kind, because nobody wanted that any more. And now they're all dead.

Richly decorated edifices could be risen today, but they're far more expensive, and thus we can't afford to roll the dice and end up with a bunch of good buildings by process of survival. Instead, everything is mediocre and designed to amortise to zero value within a few decades, to be torn down and built again, not better, merely different.
It does seem like the main point of H1Bs would be to make use of highly-skilled workers. We have plenty of low-skill workers already--we don't need more.
This is a righteous aside in TFA =>

One is reminded of the story which Cambridge mathematician G.H. Hardy told about his brilliant protegé Srinivasa Ramanujan: “I remember once going to see him when he was ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavourable omen. “No,” he replied, “it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number
expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.”
The article does mention about some integration with nature, and from some Google pictures it seems that Barbican State has at least some greenery.

Has it really? Have you lived in any of the places you mentioned and consider nice? That has always been a better test than going by people's expressed opinions.

In Brazil it is quite easy to find people that praise Oscar Niemeyer's work, but none of them actually live in Brasilia - and I am yet to see a catholic that has any good thing to say about Rio de Janeiro's Cathedral.
It seems in this story the only person who had their feelings potentially get in the way of the job is the paramedic, no? There's no reason for them to be asking such questions while doing their job.
I live in Gilroy, a small town in the bay area. I joined Nextdoor for all of two weeks before I quit in annoyance and frustration.

A typical post:

"OMG Who Is This Suspicious Person!!!"

:: watches video, sees rather bored looking person, driving a UPS truck, wearing a UPS uniform, dropping off a package, then leaving ::

This was 90%+ of what the posts were like. The rest were 'political' screeds so disjointed they were essentially logorrhea. Something about how Nextdoor has shaped their posting methodologies has made even Facebook posts look sane in comparison, and that's saying something.

The added frustration is that real neighborhood watch needs exist. We had some professional thieves roll through our cul-de-sac a few days ago- dozens of people had their cars broken in to, and whatever was in easy reach stolen. The Ring Neighborhood system allowed those of us affected to find who had video of what, and forward it all to the police. That's a real benefit. But it has its own issues.

Social media is a hard problem.

Doesn't "university" start with the "y" consonant sound?
Here's a different example:

Super Smash Bros Melee is almost 20 years old and still sees competitive play. There's a technique in the game called pivoting, which is a one-frame input used to unlock more movement options. It's been known for a while, but top players didn't make much use of it, as such a demanding mechanic seemed beyond the reach of consistent human performance.

A new(ish) player, Zain, has become one of the best in the world, and he makes frequent use of pivots, among many well-known but underused techniques.

The rules haven't changed. The tools have always been there. But now someone is picking them up. This layer of the game, once thought to be "not worth it," has now entered the metagame.

(There's actually an upcoming documentary about Melee called Metagame. To be released... eventually)

In the real world, we're already allowing very dangerous goods to be sold, whether it's chemicals, power tools or kitchen appliances that can easily set fire to your house if misused. Yet the world hasn't ended and we've accepted that the convenience of having access to these goods is worth the risk of stupid people dying/hurting themselves.

Why should we be against doing the same online, and allowing greedy megacorps to profit and squash competition in the name of "security", especially since as you say stupid people will always find a way to get scammed regardless?

Furthermore I think that the reason people are being so careless online is because of the lack of consequences and thus no opportunity for learning. The various security safeguards already in place mean it's relatively hard to end up out of pocket even if let's say your machine has malware (which should be considered a "game over" scenario) and steals your credit card number (the bank will refund you for any fraudulent card-not-present transaction), thus there is no real worry around malware beyond a minor inconvenience.
Profit isn't the only important thing in life. If there are skills lacking in the market, they will eventually be learnt. Filling demand for CRUD app creation engineers instantly, is just another example of our instant-gratification culture manifest in business.
They do outweigh them, on Tinder. I've used Tinder in multiple cities and it has the same spammer problem as Craigslist now has.
I'm probably behind the curve on this a bit, but in addition to surveillance infrastructure directly controlled by the police (which this bill seems to target), are they not also using third-party adtech to build profiles of "likely customers"? If not, will this convince them to start?
I don't know if this is unique to English. But I'd say it's culturally acceptable in America, Canada, the UK, etc. to use the passive voice and qualify all statements so that you can mean something entirely different or have a way of weaseling out of any commitments implied by what you say.

If you speak in the active voice and use simple, direct statements, people assume that you're in the military, giving orders, or perhaps a charlatan if you're trying to sell something.

Like a carnival barker.

That has a negative connotation unfortunately.

Note there were rumours going around about whether or not Apple was going to buy PA Semi (or at least contact them) for their PWRficient CPU (implementing PPC).

Ultimately they did buy PA Semi in 2008, though for the skills and they've since made all of the iPhone/iPad CPUs.
Yesterday I gave up looking for anything remotely like you describe and just ordered a remarkable. Not a huge disappointment, most of my enjoyment is gonna come from software hacking anyway, any physical device I build will look like a TP roll fort.
In my neighborhood it's quite OK and useful. For example people are exchanging information about internet slowness so you know it's not only you that has the problem. The reports about suspicious activity usually make sense, like videos of people checking out someone's porch.
Yes, this article actually makes the absolutely incredible claim that “For about 2,000 years, everything human beings built was beautiful, or at least unobjectionable.”

The thing about Frank Gehry is not the architecture, it’s the engineering. He designs crap that couldn’t possibly be built, and then somehow his engineering team figures out how to make the impossible not only possible, but to actually realize it.

The result still looks like shit, but the engineering is amazing.

If there is no shortage of US citizens that can fill STEM roles, then the H1-B program has no reason to take in STEM workers. Its purpose is to fill skill shortages. There is clearly no skills shortage, therefore the ban, while perhaps overkill, is not unjustified. Companies simply use it to get cheap labor.

> Maybe I should be more clear and say "Less than 50%".

> So I'm confused because I'm reading your response as disagreeing what IS happening (decommissioning IS happening) and taking it to mean that ALL reactors are being proposed to be decommissioned. Which is definitely not true.

They keep delaying their supposed nuclear cutbacks: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2018/11/20/frances-decision-to-d...

The reality is that wind and solar can't replace nuclear or Fossil fuels without some insanely good energy storage that is currently the stuff of science fiction.

> Which this isn't really true. You CAN throttle nuclear but not infinitely and surely not like you can with coal or natural gas. France just sells the excess and this "throttles" a lot for them. It is very efficient.

Incorrect. Reactors can be modulated in terms of thermal output. You can throttle the electrical output even if the thermal output remains the same by cooling the water more aggressively. Furthermore excess energy is not a hard problem to solve. Desalinate water, or other energy intensive tasks are good energy sinks.

> One thing you have to consider with building reactors is that they take longer to develop and build than other sources. Which I'll agree that we should have started yesterday, but let's be realistic. If you really believe this then you should also be a proponent of renewables because they are a better stop gap to a nuclear based system than coal and natural gas are.

France built up it's nuclear generation from 10% to 80% in the span of 15 years. By comparison, solar and wind are still waiting for an effective energy storage system to come into existence.

Renewables are not capable of generating more than ~40% of a country's electricity due to the fundamental mismatch between the time that energy is generated and the time that energy is consumed. Look at Germany to see the failure of solar and wind to produce a carbon free energy system. The solution exists, and has existed for over half a century now.
It looks like one exists, but it’s right before the bridge and not enough warning to stop a car traveling quickly.

In many cases A/B testing, conversion rates, analytics are used to actually improve user experience and create a better product. I don't think the problem is the analytics themselves, but what you do with the data. For example, you can see based on analytics that users spend more if feature A is implemented but they have a better experience and rate product higher if feature B is added instead. The stats allow you to have this insight, but then it's up to the company if they want to go for profits only or to actually create a better product.
I get asked where I am from all the time, because of my strange accent. However I've never before been asked about what visa I came in on.

The way he talked about the Visas, gave me the impression of someone who has been conditioned to believe that "those Visas" are evil.

Or maybe I completely misread it, and he was just trying to make conversation as you said, to calm me down. But choosing the Visa subject seemed quite odd. Usually when I mention my home country people chose a subject like history, mythology, holidays or current affairs.

> Google Maps are rubbish

It's IMHO because no longer can users properly edit maps. It's now only poor crowdsourced+automagical judgement of minor changes.

There's a post office closed for a year or so now that literally can't be removed, Google thinks it's correct and edits get autorejected. It's incredibly stupid.
There's https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt for universal content-blocking rules, youtube-dl for universal video extraction methods.

While building a feed reader of my own, I had a recent idea for a project for universal content crawling rules: how is the content hierarchy organized on each site and how do you extract it from each content page. A single community project that any other project could use to crawl websites for their content.

Looks like rss-bridge comes close to that.
I agree to an extent. Brutalism can look very good, but I personally think it only works on small scales like houses.

A brutalist skyscraper would look oppressive and imposing, towering above you like a Vogon ship about to demolish your planet to build a hyperspace lane. A brutalist house, however - while maybe not the most inviting place ever - looks simple and easy to maintain, a space you don't have to look after so that you can spend more time looking after yourself.

I agree with the article where it says that some brutalist buildings would be entirely livable if there was some greenery, however. A place that allows you to look after yourself means nothing it it doesn't also provide the tools to help you achieve that goal, and access to nature has time and time again proven to benefit mental health for worldweary citydwellers, and as someone who suffers with clinical depression, I can very much vouch for the benefits of getting out of the four walls.
The Happiness joke is based both on the missing H and the different emphasis on syllables, so you are probably right or at least close. The subtraction of H in words like Here and Happiness seems like a different rule than its addition on hard vs soft initial-O words, though.
I know this will probably be flagged or voted down, but at least please understand that I truly want to see people in the US get better and more equal. Here it goes: if the US wants to invest in local talent, the US had better invest heavily in education. And I'm not talking about an-iPad-per-kid kind of investment, but investment to hire great teachers, lots of them, to public schools to the point that tutoring schools become a joke, investment to set up a system that can fire bad teachers -- the kinds who ask students in grade 9 physics class "which is heavier, pound or kilogram". Investment to ensure that even the poorest area can have public schools that are at least as good as KIPP. Investment to really keep students in their discomfort zone so they can learn every day. Investment that builds a system that really pushes the limit of every student instead of being complacent with the craps like "Kids can discover most math by themselves" or
"left no kids behind" or "challenging math is systemic bias against the poor" or "math is racism" -- maybe they are, but then they are because our governments offer such low-quality education that family with means can get ahead by going to soul-sucking tutoring schools.

Education is the key to local talent, and is the key to equality. Yet, what has the US done to make our education better?
Companies only care about feelings because of profit, not because they actually care about the social issues. Hurting customer feelings = potential loss of customer = loss of profit.
According to the Wikipedia article [0], the bridge is very old and does not meet current clearance standards:

> It was designed in the 1920s, and opened in 1940, with a clearance for vehicles of 11 feet 8 inches (3.56 m). This was a standard height at the time it opened. The standard clearance, since 1973, has a minimum height of 14 feet (4.3 m), which is 2 feet 4 inches (0.71 m) higher than the bridge as built.

I imagine most trucks are built to be just under 14 feet so that fitting under bridges is not usually an issue.

Another thing I’ve noticed watching some of these videos is that most of the accidents are rental trucks. Presumably many of these drivers have never driven a truck in their lives and ignore clearance warnings out of habit.

Also Figma is working on Windows.
Building a bridge isn’t anywhere near as complex as maintaining a javascript build pipeline.
But that could happen anywhere in the country.

What's so special about this bridge that means it gets so much coverage. It doesn't even seem extremely low.
A substantial number of these crashes (maybe the majority?) are rental trucks, being driven by people who aren't accustomed to operating a large vehicle.

A typical driver of a car, minivan or SUV in the United States will virtually never encounter a bridge or other obstacle whose height above the road is low enough to matter to them, so most people simply never have a reason to pay attention to those height signs.
QUIC has ACKS also. It is a connection oriented protocol that can guarantee delivery of packets.

QUIC also has a three-way handshake (on new conntections). The equivalent of TCP's SYN, SYN+ACK, ACK, but stacked with the TLS negotiation at the same time.

Also, SYN is only used during this handshake in TCP.

White is usually used to indicate information. And in the video in the link the signal turned red after the cab of the truck passed the signal.

I mean I get it. It's funny. But if it were designed well, there wouldn't have been 100+ accidents.
It doesn't really matter why, as you always feel you are the "different" one, especially in professional environments.

Brutalist architecture. The word actually has little to do with adjective "brutal". It's derived from French "brut", meaning "raw", as in "raw concrete".

This is a good question. It's an initial reaction, the fast thinking part of my brain. I suspect it triggers a sense of fear. Here are a few ideas as to why:

- They will think I'm either too slow or not working hard enough.
- They will ask me to do it faster which may or may not be feasible. Pushing back on this may be hard.
- The question itself adds extra pressure. Someone is waiting for me.
- I feel like I'm being watched.
- I feel like I'm being micro managed.

The anxiety doesn't last long. Once my rational brain kicks in I move past it quickly. I do wonder though if these small moments of anxiety build up over time.

Interestingly, when I wrote this original post I was thinking about when product managers ask this question rather than a direct manager. I haven't experienced this anxiety when communicating with my manager. The dynamic between engineers and PMs is an interesting one. I don't think the tension between the two groups is talked about enough.

I agree with your opinion. When someone is behind it's almost never because they aren't working hard. However, it's difficult for an individual to make that distinction. This is especially challenging for junior engineers. As I've become more senior this has been less of an issue.
