Show HN: My First Real Website
Yeah. So. I've never actually published a personal website. At least, not one that I didn't take down within hours. I guess I like to pretend I have some privacy and anonymity online. But I'm going to be submitting three serious bug bounty candidates in the next few days, and my lack of a web presence has hurt me in the past. This is about I can muster, But I feel it should be sufficient. HTTPS-only; otherwise, just standard GH pages fare.

So. Here you have it:

They are describing a fruit known in parts of the US as pawpaw and custard apple both. Never heard it called "sugar apple" but there are 2 different fruits known as custard apple so maybe you are thinking of a different one.
I think given the 85 to 99% probability[1] that any particular person hasn't been infected you can more or less trust a negative result. The flip is positive results are likely to be false positives.

[1] Current preponderance of the evidence gives those numbers. Unless the person was part of an outbreak cluster in a communal living situation like prisons, cruse ships, or nursing homes. Or a work place like a big open office, meat packing plant, etc.
Makes sense now, temperature - I was looking into it too much because I've seen in Farmers Almanacs schedules of planting&harvesting with lunar cycles because the gravitational pull is thought to assist essential growth phases.

I thought perhaps Thai farmers were also heeding Mercury alignment or retrograde to achieve a certain fruiting outcome (gravity from Mercury would be negligible compared to our Moon).

Teams is already rather integrated with Office and Sharepoint.
Another issue in the EU is that they try to generalise the term "startup" to non-tech ventures... and then try to apply the advice meant for 80% margin B2B SaaS companies.

They mention APIs for Windows, Linux, OpenSolaris, a ZLIB, and the Apache module.

New Directions is publishing a collection that has some ‘fragments’ that slipped through the cracks in English anthologies - this is one of them. Hard to believe it could happen, given how many of his novels are painstakingly assembled fragments.

I won't go so far as the other detractors and say that it's necessarily a debasement of a celebrity to get paid to record a scripted message. It's actually kind of a cool service, especially if there's a price point or agent contacts for commercial messages. In that regard it's not so different from ordering an inscription on a custom artisanal kitchen accessory.

But what I find sad is the commentary it makes on the state of humanity's collective emotional development if commercial celebrity endorsements and falsely personal birthday messages have so much more sway over our hearts than messages from people who are actually in our lives. Separating fiction from reality is one of the early lessons we teach children. It's not the mere existence of this service that is the problem, it's that it belies a deeper issue with culture in general.
> Imagine what would happen if someone could make lights green in 2 directions.

I didn't consider it because the solution is obvious. An interlock that makes it electrically impossible to have 2 greens, like an airlock has a piece of hardware that prevents both doors opening at the same time. I suppose I should also mention the obvious that if the internet connection goes down, or the camera lens gets iced up, etc., it should automatically revert to egg-timer mode.

These are solvable problems. Except point 11, which is ironically complaining about it working successfully at what it was supposed to do.
What would one do there that isn't already covered by HN or a subreddit?
Hacker News, the only place in the world where you’re equally likely to encounter articles about Kafka, the brilliantly paranoid Bohemian writer, and Kafka, the data streaming platform.

I couldn’t tell which one this was until I opened it up.
"He found that metro Phoenix offers a better quality of life." I guess if you like spending all day in air conditioning this is accurate?
Why? Naivety. He wanted it to be bipartisan. This is about as in the middle as you can get, and it wasn't good enough. It wasn't just watered down for the blue dogs or Lieberman.

As a .NET programmer who is new to the gaming space, I find the promises of Unity’s new Data Oriented Tech Stack and the future of .NET (5.0) perhaps too compelling to consider anything that isn’t officially supported. That future just sounds too good to me as a back end .NET dev getting into gaming. I think, too, as a beginner the dead simplicity of Unity’s old game object system is very compelling for getting started if you’re brand new to development. I haven’t spent any time with UE4 though so I can’t compare.
We're living in an age where twitter rants on Apple draw more attention than the entire lifespan of a quite fintech unicorn.
> I read a comment here talking about women going into management roles because of higher 'EQ', and being better than men at noticing social and monetary rewards, and what not.

There was more than one comment, so you might be right about some of them. But the ones I read had an extra level of indirection: it wasn't the authors of the comments who had the "women have higher EQ" idea but the people they were talking about and who are pressuring women to move into management. So it is not "X is true" but "Y thinks X is true and so is doing Z" that is being presented as a fact.
Why do we have RFC standardized and decentralized email but never could make standard chat/call protocol?

XMPP and now Matrix made good progress in that direction but are mostly obscure to date.
Everything has voice ... that nobody wants.

Customer service is now so terrible that I don't want to talk to you and I damn sure don't want you to talk to me. At this point, I've kinda bought into the whole Millennial "If I can't do it online without interacting with a human, go die in a fire cause you aren't making a sale."

Quit hiding the price--you simply lost the sale. Don't ask for a quote-you simply lost the sale. Don't make me sign up before paying--you simply lost the sale. If I can't do a return solely through online interaction--you simply lost any further sales.

I see Zoom and its ilk the same way. Ubiquitous video chat--that nobody really wants.
Rent is half of your salary in Toronto too.
The headline of the article is a bit sensationalist. Mentioning the order of magnitude of the assets under management (about $1.5B) gives no indication of the head count, profitability, revenue, or local/state tax contribution for this company. For all we know, Smead Capital only employs a dozen people in the USA.
The fact this is being reported by KTAR is strange. They are a small, conservative radio station. Not even a news network picked this up. They will report just about anything you call in
You'll notice all the demos of macOS Big Sur were shown using a Pro XDR Display, connected to hardware that was later revealed to be the MacMini+A12Z/Developer Transition Hardware. And during the Maya demo, it was a Pro XDR Display explicitly connected to the Developer hardware.

Which is interesting, because the Pro XDR Display can only be driven TB3 [1].

So Apple figured out the licensing for a TB3 controller chip to work in this design (which funny enough would be licensing that IP from Intel), or they are using USB4/TB4, or something else I'm not smart enough to think of.

Thank you! I just changed my accent colour to green and now it’s easy to tell the difference.
It has little to do with their brutalizers, it is the nature of physical power and corruption.

Many times throughout history gangs form for self protection in absense of a functioning authority. Regardless they inevitably get involved in a racket of some sort or assert their claim to some sort of territory and become just another band of violent thugs out for themselves and a scourge on their host community.

The remotely closest thing to a gang that hasn't progressed to that probably isn't like that are the Guardian Angels safety patrols.

Being brutalized is neither neccessary nor sufficent, although it may make them more likely. If the "configuration" arises essentially they will go down that path.

HN does this with some words, mostly ones that would typically be used in a clickbaity way, I believe.

I just tried posting "10 ways to test if this title works on HN" (the number thing being one I recall encountering before). The title was automatically changed to "How to test if this title works on HN". So there is definitely support for automatically editing some common clickbait title phrases.

It seems to be regex, I tried again with "12 ways to test if HN automatically formats titles" and it was also changed to "How to test ...".

If it breaks your title, you can fix it manually! You should see an `edit` under the title that will link to you an editing page that allows you to edit the title. This works with both link posts and text posts. I was able to change the title of my test post back to "10 ways to test ..." and it correctly updated to show that title with no modifications.

And I just now realized that this is actually one of the probably few things not mentioned on that one repo [1] that documents undocumented HN features!

Governments and regulators don't always act in a clear-headed way when a company seen as a national champion is involved. Often the fear of bringing down political wrath, making a mess of national prestige, and more crop up even when explicit political meddling is absent.

A company that understands it's in such a position is, IMO, more likely to misbehave because they know the odds of there being consequences are much lower.

Assassin's Creed did this to some extent with Rome and other cities.
Who cares. Firms now want so many tax concessions that cities probably lose more than they gain with these corporations.

So tired of this emphasis on the economy and job growth. The key is well-being, and a city that concentrates on well-being will get all the employment opportunities they want without a single concession. Of course, while employment opportunities last in the coming automation and robotic world.

Re. the PPC era and whether it will be like that in the future, this is from a lowly web backend developers perspective, so I might be naive, but hopefully we've learned to build generic solutions without sacrificing performance, when it comes to things like this, and it doesn't devolve into a code that only runs on X-hardware type thing.

I think it's a more common problem to see things like the T2 security chip not being present on older hardware or hackintosh(unsupported) hardware, so if you're not running the right hardware you can't take advantage of a feature (AR in certain iPhones) or you won't have the performance advantage (Filevault encryption with T2 chips vs encrypted by CPU).
You are right, I made quite a number of mistakes in my calculations. In particular, the Raptor engine indeed provides 2000 kN of thrust, and the upper stage has 6 of those, for a total of 12000 kN. The Nerva engine is only about 250 kN, so you'd need 48 of them to match the 6 Raptors.

Your find [1] is fantastic. If it's $5.3 MM per engine, that would be about $250 MM for the 48 engines.

However, that could be used several times, at least 4.5 by my calculation: The NRX A6 was able to run for more than 1 hour [2]. The fuel flow was 32 kg/s, so that's about 1.5 tons/s for 48 engines, or about 800s to burn 1200 tons (fuel mass of Starship upper stage). That makes the uranium fuel cost per trip about $55MM.

Now if instead of 85% one uses 20% enriched uranium, the price per kg decreases by a factor of 4.6 (from 30k to 6.5k) but the burnup decreases too, but probably by less than that. Still, a ballpark figure of about $50MM per trip, only for the uranium fuel.

Well-being apparently means different things to different people because that is one of the stated reasons for moving.
It saves them much more over the long term if it lets them get away from having two different processor architectures. It paves the way for more convergence between their OSes. Eventually a macbook will be just an ipad with a keyboard attached, and vice versa.

Yes, they're a big company. But they're also a mature company. A lot of their efforts are going to be boring cost-cutting measures, because that's how mature companies stay profitable.
It's called Microsoft Teams, and in its current iteration, it's surprisingly good. I actually prefer it to Slack. It is highly integrated with Office 365 (supports live collaboration etc.).

The HD video quality is surprisingly solid -- comparable to Zoom, far surpasses Webex and Google Hangouts -- and uses a different protocol, codec(s) and network than Skype for Business, which I have always found spotty. MS Teams is the slated successor to Skype for Business (good riddance).

https://www.djeek.com/2018/01/microsoft-teams-and-the-protoc...

It can handle up to 250 participants for group video chat (similar to Zoom), and there's an MS Teams Live Events edition that can handle 10k participants. (20k during COVID)

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-live-e...

It actually does a few things better than Zoom -- its virtual background feature is able to better detect and eliminate complex backgrounds. It recently introduced on-the-fly automatic closed captioning (through speech recognition). Later this year, it will have a larger video grid (currently the limit is 3x3) and AI-based noise cancellation on mic input -- previously the domain of offerings like krisp.ai.

On iOS devices, it even lets you do live screen-sharing on mobile (using Apple's Screen Recorder mechanism), which makes it easy to demo mobile apps on a video call.

EDIT: --I don't think Zoom let you do this (yet?)-- not a true statement, but leaving this here with strikethrough.
> That's not how the quote is said above.

That's not how English works. I did not say "the client has always decided". Nobody expects statements are absolute when talking about the behaviors of people. The non-literal meanings of English is why each profession has its own specialized jargon (like lawyer legalese, military jargon, and aviation terms).

The fund literally only invests in stocks like Amex, Discovery, Home Depot, and Target.

It’s by all accounts a very small asset management company that has a few big whale clients. Good luck attracting the same level of whales in Phoenix as you would in Seattle, when your potential client base is full of major hire-on grants at places like Microsoft and Amazon.

• Firms like this manage a large amount of capital but do so with relatively few employees. The actual loss to the Seattle economy is small.

• They certainly seem to want to threaten workers - unionize or otherwise show solidarity and we’ll punish you economically.

• The only sensible thing for employees to do is organize the labor it sells much as corporations employ managers,
incentive and process to organize the labor they purchase.

• If successful, labor will be eventually be in a position to punish firms and locales that undermine labor power.

If this comes to pass, it shouldn’t be too difficult to raise Cole Smead’s costs until the firm isn’t viable. From a game theory perspective, this sort of tit for tat is the only sensible way to bring about a mutually beneficial equilibrium.
Likely people who believe they are high risk, especially older populations that aren't under any pressure to go to work, are still not taking many chances.

What I really want to see is general case severity. There's a whole range from "testing positive with no symptoms" to "bad flu" to "severe effects but not hospitalized, may have long-term damage." That last group is the scary one that, as far as I know, isn't being counted.

Taking a step back from her story, I find it so weird that we stigmatise some of the most universal human experiences.

Essentially every person will piss burp fart and poop. And almost every person has one of two genitals. (EDIT and our biological parents will have one of each). And almost every mother will feed their baby with their breasts.

And yet we have become so detached from the animal part of our identity and so caught up in some abstract values that we get squeamish seeing and talking about these things.

We have much to learn on this front from our scandi and dutch friends who have chilled the F out.

Well, those experimental communities always fail. Too disorder results in an beautiful experiment collapsing.

The real problem is that these experimental communities need to have some type of binding social customs to govern the group. The Native Americans existed for millienialiums existed by having an agreed-upon binding social customs that held their society without formal written law.

In this case, these groups do not have take time to really develop these social customs or beliefs and guess what their experiment blows up. And chaos and strife breaksout which results in people dead.

IN a society as complex as the US, the rule of law and strong faith in institutions leads to a stable democratic institutions. These people fail to grasp that reality and the investment firm decides go to Arizona.

In reality, Seattle is better managed city than the wild west of Phoenix. But again, we are seeing the devastating effects when leaders do not put in faith into the institutions that they created and then as a result, chaos results which is a huge virus spike.

Phoenix is not a place that I would put a business knowing that long-term effects of climate change. If I want to keep a business for longer than ten years, I would not put it that town. I would rather put into Seattle than Phoenix.
What about the American world-class engineers, though?
