I also don't see smooth movement without extraordinary effort and simple objects, and it seems I'm just increasing the framerate. Although funnily I can imagine body and hand movements (which are smooth) in detail, and I don't feel the framerate limitation at all; I can get a 'intuitive feeling' for each kind of movement that way. So it seems like my kinetic-proprioception has a lot more temporal capability.

In terms of 3D imagery, I can visualized complex 3D objects and rotate them around, or navigate 3D cave spaces. But it requires significant focus, and the "framerate" is very low, like warping you mentioned. And for years I've spent time before sleeping visualizing things (often in 3D), so I think it's something I developed too (it's fun and I knew it was going to be useful -- when solving problems I very often resort to visualizations).
> "differential racism"

So basically the existing word "racism" didn't fit (because racist Brits would hate Asian HKers just as much as brown Syrians and black Africans) so you invented a new completely concept but conveniently attached the word "racism" to it for maximal emotional impact?

Despicable.
My experience was rather different. I purchased a constellation app (full price no subscription) and after owning it for a year the developer decided to go to a subscription model. I was never told about this until I noticed a monthly charge from apple. Super slimy behavior, I was pretty frustrated. I sent a request to have my charge refunded which apple obliged. In general I really dislike this type of auto-charging and it seems like it preys on customers who are not watching their statements very closely. But Apple is not incentivized as they get a cut of this money.
The root of the problem is older generation without antidot to internet experience. Something younger people developed when internet wasn't that powerful. My older uncle few years ago discovered internet and immediately become a "comments warrior" on facebook. Right now he's not that active.

Facebook data issues leads to Trump election, trump election leads to rising hate, rising hate and polarization leads to liberal media also radicalized to degree that during BLM protest it's ok to burn down popo's in the car. People decided to go above the law thinking it's ok because they believe in something. Because they saw Trump is going above the law... Because facebook and cambridge analytica were able to act illegally also.

Everything in this world is connected especially when information flux become so fast.

In the very end we're still social creatures, and we act by examples.

The problem also is that Social Media led us to a rise of Opinions and eclipse of real News media. Go to any news media website. It's full of opinions.

Those website understand power of social media also try to get their piece of pie. Opinionated content is created with one intent - become shared on social media.

This is such a deep problem which probably started by Facebok, but it's far from been stoped by them.

[Opinion -> reaction -> benefit] supply chain is a multi billion industry right now. With so many 3rd parties on every step.

In the very end there are only two directions. Regulate it in a way you label content. Or the natural way. Trump uses this power to get into white house. Their opponents use it to fight back. I really doubt that dems or republicans have such a strong good intents call to stop using such a heavy weapon.
I guess later on society will find an antidot in a natural way.

Yep, the CCP is going after political dissidents. Expats that keep their head down while making money in HK aren't going to be affected.
You’re right - the requirement on order/trade ratios is more a policy requirement, but venues are required to have limits to control excessive message rates.
Company "worth" is calculated as: last sale price * number of shares outstanding

stock is held by founders and fans ==> few sellers

more buyers than sellers ==> stock price goes up ==> inflates worth

Company worth is an imperfect metric at best and non-sensical at worst.

I don't know the proportion of investors who think this way yet I simply can't believe there is going to be much place for non-electric cars in cities in future. So, given how strongly do electric cars associate with the Tesla brand, I find it improbable that Tesla is going to fail or stagnate. Cities probably are going to start phasing gas/diesel cars out as soon as they recover from the CoV-caused economic crisis or shortly after. I know Toyota also builds electric and hybrid cars but many consumers don't know.

This is exactly it.

There's a group of guys I build hardware/firmware for. They are experienced engineers, but their expertise is in machine tools.

We met because they made a post on an Arduino forum a few years ago basically saying "we need to do X. We know it has to be possible in a cost-effective way because of all the cheap Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc. hardware we keep seeing for sale but we don't have any experience on those platforms. Can anyone help us?"

This illustrates a point that a lot of people don't see: while Arduino or RPi were released for a specific purpose, the absolutely massive ecosystem that grew up around them enabled a slew of entirely new classes of applications that weren't feasible before due to cost.

Back to "my" guys. If I quoted them an upfront design for what they needed, starting from scratch, it would have reached into the five figures easily. Instead I was able to say "hey, I'm working on something that has a lot in common with that. I'll build you a prototype of what you need for the cost of the hardware" and we went from there. Now that project makes me a few $k per year.
One trick with regular vehicles to better handle sand is to lower the tire pressure. I'm curious how well you could do on sand with bike tires using lower pressure?
Congrats on the launch, Shawn!

I'm frustrated and saddened by the amount of negative comments here from doubters, burnt out folks, and cynical engineers. I want to weigh in with a positive perspective.

I've been following Shawn for a while now (from a distance) and I have to say, seeing his name pop up in more and more places has certainly been an intriguing experience. He went from being nobody a few years ago to being somebody worth listening to very quickly.

He's built up a lot of good will with me just from what he's posted that is freely available, so it's a little frustrating to see other people bashing / looking for problems as soon as he releases something with a price tag. I personally have benefited a lot from his "learn in public" approach (more from his example than from his advice!!) and have had multiple posts hit the front page of HN by "learning in public", from which I've learned further (it's a positive feedback loop).

Full discloser, I haven't read this book, but the interesting thing is that he's only recently started monetizing this exposure. That rings true to me of somebody who knows what they're doing and has real value to bring to the table.

For people who are saying "But he doesn't have enough experience," bear in mind that this book has ~1400 references to other peoples' experience. I trust that way more than I do one person's singular viewpoint, even if that is backed up by 40 years' worth of experience.

Also, before anybody tries to call me out – this is a 100% spontaneous response and I had no idea Shawn's book was out until I saw this post on the front page of HN.

I wonder what the perception of Tesla will be in a few years when people start wanting to upgrade / sell these cars. I can’t imagine the resale being comparable to a Toyota. There is certainly a reason Toyota is the worlds most popular auto manufacturer, and it is very different from the reasoning people use to justify Tesla bullishness.
>>7 hours of interview seems like overkill.

7?

There are companies that do this plus a bar raiser round. Some times two bar raiser rounds.

9 rounds is quite common in FAANGs.

There is also this condition that even single negative feed back after 9 hours of interviews. Like a 10 minute bad session in a 9 hour game disqualifies you. Like 8:50 of blazingly awesome performance is considered a waste even if the feed back was slightly negative in a 10 minute section.

This is basically a circus performance.
I think this is the most beautiful rendering explanation I've ever seen.
As someone married to someone from a different language and culture, I can say that those differences are not as insurmountable as they might seem, and the effort to overcome them is repaid many times over if you enjoy expanding your horizons.

The rule must be "Apple forbids an app to be disabled or not function without displaying Apple's subscription chrome" which makes sense then.

How is the field of view?
You can modify the test to give them two choices, a partner that is of higher caste and another that is of lower caste - all things being equal (wealth, health, even skin color). If they were truly non-discriminatory, and only cared about preserving their "culture", they should reject either one with equal probability.

Thank you so much for mentioning this! I didn't know about it. And, it's great to have alternatives. I've been looking to diversify my viewing away from YouTube and am interested in viable alternatives.
This is 2020 ,we are still talking about upper caste management suppressing lower caste in USA. If there has been 70+ years of equality driving measures taken , then this news shouldnt be there.I hope you understand how authority works in India, the Upper caste is already in decision making positions when this movement started 70 years back, i can very well imagine what would have happened.

I wish they'd let users set the green squares to public projects only. I use github a lot for private projects or archival (did a quick thing, write myself a readme and store it in case I need it again). But it looks like I'm doing a lot of work when I'm not. The green squares would be a heck of a lot more interesting if you could see how much they are doing in public repos (where you could see if they are faking their squares).
Then shouldn't the government be closing this loophole and taxing whatever vehicle they use to transfer wealth?

I'd criticize an individual for evading taxes, but a "group" of people is just doing what people do.

Hey, your own "tutorials" and "educational blog" look like total garbage. Maybe that's why you support each other.

This guy is possibly qualified to write a bad "book" about marketing, why is this shit on HN
Depends what you mean by “ecosystem”. If you’re at the level of a hobbyist who’s considers a blog post, Hackaday project, or YouTube tutorial about setting up some server or building some type of project part of the ecosystem, then the difference between the size and accessibility of the RPi and its competitors is staggering.

Sure, for any one project an alternative _may_ be the right solution, especially if you’re spending serious time on it, but when you’re constantly creating little projects and proto-projects, many of which involve little more than copying from a few blog posts, writing a bit of code for an evening or two, and deciding not to go much further, it is just SO much less risky in terms of time and probability of major hiccups to start out on an RPi. Plus, if you’re like me there’s probably one lying around somewhere so you get instant gratification and zero incremental cost to give it a try, which is often the difference between scratching the itch and not on that particular project.
They haven't invaded Taiwan with the US providing an even less direct security guarantee.

The USA previously had a mutual defense treaty with Taiwan. That was replaced by the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979.

"The Taiwan Relations Act does not guarantee the USA will intervene militarily if the PRC attacks or invades Taiwan nor does it relinquish it, as its primary purpose is to ensure the US's Taiwan policy will not be changed unilaterally by the president and ensure any decision to defend Taiwan will be made with the consent of Congress. The act states that "the United States will make available to Taiwan such defense articles and defense services in such quantity as may be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense capabilities". However, the decision about the nature and quantity of defense services that America will provide to Taiwan is to be determined by the President and Congress. America's policy has been called "strategic ambiguity" and it is designed to dissuade Taiwan from a unilateral declaration of independence, and to dissuade the PRC from unilaterally unifying Taiwan with the PRC."[1]

If the US didn't have this agreement with Taiwan, I believe the PRC would have invaded long ago. Instead, they have been playing a long game of deeply entangling their economies and increasing their influence in the region with the hope of Taiwan following HK and joining the one country, two systems approach. I believe that is fundamentally dead now that the PRC has revealed one country, two systems to be a complete lie.

Thus, I hope Taiwan declares independence and has the backing the USA in such a manner that China won't consider invading.

Nonetheless, the point stands that China hasn't invaded Taiwan with a far less secure security guarantee than the one I proposed by the UK for HK.

No nuclear power has yet wanted to test whether or not a rival nuclear power is willing to follow through on their promise. Nuclear deterrence has been exceedingly effective. Furthermore, while China is more powerful than the UK, in 1997 the UK had a larger GDP and the EU was on the upswing.[2][3] That would have been sufficient counterweight to China then.

I never got offered private health insurance in Spain by an employer. I have it in the UK. When I was a kid I had access to private health insurance in Spain, so I know it a bit.

I find the NHS I have today is slighty worse than the Spanish equivalent I left a decade ago. Maybe because of the austerity policy of the Conservative government during the last decade, I don't know. In any case is not too bad.

Funny enough the private health insurances in Spain, which have to compete with a better public system, are WAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than ANY available in the UK.

At first I used the UK private insurance from my employer thinking "if they are being paid let's at least use them, saving resources to the NHS for people without an alternative". But not anymore...

- It's more complicated

- I have an uncomfortable relationship with my doctor when there are financial incentives involved (specially after one specific case)

I actually need to pay a 40% of the price of the insurance in income tax. The only reason I have not asked my employer to stop it is because the NHS cancer treatment times are getting longer than they should. That's the only benefit I see in them: a potentially shorter time to treatment in cases where time may make the difference between life and death.

Learning from scaling our product from 0 to 5Bn push Notifications/Month as a PM
After watching my mother confusedly agree to $7/week billing in an app she downloaded to play with her cat, I'm not convinced Apple is in the business of helping users make optimal billing decisions with clarity.

The least the App Store could do is give notifications (not just email) for monthly billing and notifications for "You are now paying $7/week and will be charged <Date>" (Click to go to a screen that will let you cancel).

Not to mention, the hostility of having to notice it's $7/week, not $7/month. I literally have never seen weekly billing like that, and I had to look three times to notice it said "week". Just gives scummy tools to scummy people that make rebillware on the App Store, like a game for cats you can make after any Swift tutorial charging $7/week.

At least all apps go through Apple billing, so you get an itemized list of which apps are billing you. Really needs an on-device notification system to help people see that screen though. My mom isn't going to find it, yet she should see it every month she's ever getting billed.
FX reserves tell us whatever every country's FX tell us. That countries have forex, gold and bond reserves to protect the value of their currency. It can also work in the opposite direction. India and US keep large sums of gold. Greece kept large sums of US govt. bonds (until 2008 market crash at which point they found out this was a bad idea).

Japan's Abe is famous for auctioning huge reserves of JPY in order to reduce the value of their currency and stock up on USD. Reduced currency value means their exports became temporarily cheaper and this way they got an artificial boost to their production industry.

This is a complex subject and doesn't show that "country X is the puppet of country Y", it rather shows how they like to strategize for their own benefit.
