To say that starting a company is too risky, but then inject that quote afterwards that summarizes being in the rat race... is silly. If you want to live outside the box, find a way to be financially independent. Living outside the box is the definition of risk. You’re missing the entire purpose of life. To live without risk, is to live in a box of comfort.

Take calculated risk.
> Today, grade school serves the primary purpose as a daycare for the kids so both parents can work.

I have not found this to be the case. I'm not a professional educator. I'm not going to do as good a job at educating my kids as an experienced teacher. Looking at what our kids are learning, I'm impressed by the curriculum, which at least in our district has kept up with changes in day to day life and professional expectations.
Ahh.

I am less sure, but I would think that's expected, given that it has to link everything together into the final binary. You're gonna end up giving the linker more work to do, as you suspected.
Neat! Is it possible to load themes? That would be super useful if it was possible to load Jekyll/Static site themes.

> Did you ever tell her you spent years completely discounting her and ‘stealing’ her ideas

I don't think the "discounting"/"stealing" was intentional... and it's not necessarily exclusive to women. "Selling yourself" is a skill that even men struggle with, especially the quiet, introverted, but definitely intellectual types.
How do you propose to encode the additional information that is needed to detect these mistakes though?
The difference is that in a physical public square, you have a built-in expectation of ephemerality. Everyone expects that their behavior in some random physical space is not going to persist forever. Twitter, on the other hand, is explicitly build with the expectation of what you tweet persisting forever.

On the other hand, there are tons of cameras in public spaces too. So, even though people have had a built-in expectation of ephemerality, that's already been violated for quite a while now.
Of course, because a geeky hobby will never go to $100K or $1M.

Because now you have $25, and you don't have your face on video using a stolen debit card?

For me the guilt gets to me. I feel guilty for not imparting 40 hours of focused time in the office, I feel like I'm a slacker or don't deserve to be in my career. I don't think this guilt is helpful, as I only really do work I'm proud of when I've had good breaks to regain myself.

You realize that the world economy is inexorably linked to the US right? If there was such a devastating crash what makes you think the Eurozone would be stable? The UK left the EU and France nearly did, a massive wave of unrest could easily break the union up and the euro would be worse off than the dollar.
Never understood the obsession of OSI and their insisting to not give any protection for the authors. Authors whether individuals or companies should have the right to prevent their work from being rebranded or sold by others with minor or even major modification.

How many times did it happen that somebody or organization wrote a complex piece of software and published it and found that some companies just rebranded it and even sold their work with little to none added value while the original authors don't even have the right to complain because this is how open source works.

Something like BSL https://mariadb.com/bsl-faq-mariadb/ needs to get more reputation among solo developers and small companies with little to no funding that believe in the power of open source while believing also in having the right of earning a living from their own work.
Can't say I like the prospects of all these companies consolidating and throwing out "redundant parts".
> These can't happen on Bitcoin but they already exist on Ethereum and DeFi. All possible in a trustless way.

In reality, just about every DeFi platform is not trustless nor are the usecases possible in a trustless way. Uniswap is one exception that comes to mind.

The parallel is that you can have the existing financial systems replicated on Bitcoin, Ethereum, with some additional properties and tradeoffs. I don't think you could make that kind of comparison with ham radio?
This is a pretty bad premise. If you're packing people in cubicles in a building/floor that most likely uses central air and air conditioning, you already lost the game -- sphere packing or not.
I'm a male of above average height who (by western standards) would probably rate as fairly attractive thanks to some lucky genetics. Those inherent characteristics are only part of the picture, though; at various times in my life I have varied in attractiveness greatly (i.e. deciding to work out, maintain a proper weight, and generally paying attention to my appearance), so I have experienced both sides of this effect (I imagine many attractive people have had similar experiences; remaining "attractive" is non-trivial).

People do, clearly, have a bias towards whatever their standard of attractiveness is. I don't think this is really a controversial observation; it's subtle in some situations, overt in others, but it almost never disappears.

This is also enhanced by another effect the article doesn't really hit on: confidence. Once you realize people perceive you as attractive, you start to understand how this advantage tilts the world in your favor. You realize people may listen a bit more, so you speak up a bit more. You start putting yourself out there and more and more opportunities fall into your lap.

This is, as I hinted above, something that people can make a conscious effort to achieve. I've got certain genetic advantages, and I acknowledge that, but it's amazing how far simple physical fitness, careful grooming, and confidence can go.

For men who perceive themselves as unattractive, I would strongly recommend that you put forth the effort to become attractive, even if your own self-image is that you are unattractive. Your genetic predisposition may set limits and boundaries on how far you can take this effect, but if you even move the needle a little bit you can start to see gains (I'd not presume to make any such recommendation to women, because although I feel confident that attractiveness has never hurt me as a male, I do not know whether attractiveness is such a "clear win" for women).

It's unfortunate that humans are wired this way, but you might as well take advantage of it.
The problem with the WFPL is that it may not be legal in many jurisdictions. I would encourage you to dual license with the WTFPL and a more legally vetted license, such as MIT, to allow your software to be used in a wider variety of jurisdictions.

And thank you for writing open source software!

Edit: The CC0 may be a more legally valid license that accomplishes the same thing.
Bitcoin is an amazing project. And in fairness, has survived 11 years as a target for every malicious actor and curious mind out there.

That said from both an applied cryptographic point of view, and from an economic perspective I think Monero is just fabulous.

Given its fungible and private, its a lot closer to “money” than Bitcoin.

I think it has a strong probability of becoming an important part of global payment options. Its daily transaction count is also at an all time high.
You raise a very interesting wrinkle here. When/if sports resume and the gamblers can gamble again, does the $TSLA money move back into sports?
These type of queries seem to have become the exception. Google is still useful if you're trying to find a product you want to buy. Maybe.

Occasionally I'll get lucky with a hyper-specific query that hasn't been SEO to shit, but otherwise Google search has become a glorified Yellow Pages.

Far from being AI, I've watched Google search get dumber with time.
Let's say you want to add auth tokens and/or TLS to an environment with a lot of heterogeneous legacy code in 6 different languages.

I definitely agree with this. It's for this reason that I've tried to make it as easy as possible for users to automatically sync data from their Notado accounts to other services and make regular or ongoing backups either through the API or by listening to their own RSS feeds.

Well, for one, this means that Apple Silicon has no Fortran compiler, which breaks a decent chunk of the scientific computing ecosystem.
I too thought it was live. Until I saw a sunset of a location one time zone away at 2 pm. And then one with rain in my current city with it being sunny presently.

Since it's not live, maybe submissions should trim the part where they are adjusting the camera in the correct direction (not to be too critical). While it would certainly reduce the number of submissions to be live, this is hacker news. I'm sure there would still be a handful of interesting locations.

You can prove this is real to law enforcement by recording your neighbors talking and playing back the recording. If you can hear them clearly enough to know that they're speaking about you personally (and not about their own personal business, or something they saw on TV, or about the weather, or the local sports team) it should be trivial to prove.

If you can't hear them well enough to determine that they're speaking about you, and it's just the muffled sound of indecipherable voices, then you're assuming they're speaking about you when they almost certainly aren't.

Have you brought this up with friends or family? What do they think?

> The kids, especially the poor ones, want worksheets, not problems.

No, they want out, for both right and wrong reasons, or they want school as a refuge from an even worse home situation, or they want and seek out problems beyond the worksheets, and learn how to extract value from a flawed system. Or...well, lots of other things, kids, even poor ones, not being homogenous, but “thet want worksheets, not problems” is pretty rare. Wanting to pass but not learn is maybe sometimes an epiphenomenon of other motivations (school as refuge plus adverse consequences at both school and home for not passing, for instance.)

> They want a job without possibility of advancement

No one specifically wants wants that, though many see “possibility of advancement” as illusionary for people of their background.
We have a few models about how black holes might merge. The best model was that a massive binary star might end their lives as a pair of black holes, then spiral down into each other. In this model, there will not be any optical counterpart to the merger. But this model can't explain all of the observations by LIGO. When a star ends its life as a black hole, there's a cap on how large the black hole can be; if you make stars larger than that, they end their lives prematurely in pair-instability supernova, which do not leave behind black holes. But LIGO saw black hole mergers where the constituent black holes were larger than that maximum mass, up to twice as large. Binary black hole mergers can't explain those observations.

The next idea on the drawing board was that there could be a dense swarm of stars, black holes, and neutron stars in the accretion disks around quasars. In this model, the black holes can grow in the accretion disk, and they can undergo multiple mergers and get much larger. However, when they merge, the new combined black hole should be kicked through the accretion disk at an odd angle, and steal some of the material into a new, more chaotic accretion disk. This new accretion disk should produce a temporary flare up, and then more periodic flareups every few months as the new black hole oscillates up and down through the accretion disk. The new black hole should eventually get dampened into a nearly circular, in-spiraling orbit, where it is available for a subsequent merger.

This new observation, if it's confirmed, lends a lot of support that the second model happens too, and teaches us a lot about what exactly is happening around supermassive black holes. So the takeaway from this article isn't just "hey, we saw this cool thing", it's "hey, we saw this thing that increases our understanding" which IMHO is a hell of a lot cooler. The title implies the former, which annoys me.

Hopefully, we'll see periodic flareups around the quasar, which would largely confirm the model.
Totally agree. The amount of innovation in defi over the past year is stunning, the people still dismissing cryptocurrency as as some bubble/fad are missing out on really interesting tech both in finance and governance.

A lot of people in the space made a lot of money a couple years back (on what was a bubble) but that means they are now are set for life and can dedicate themselves fully to working on the tech, and its all starting to click together.

You don't have to buy into it with your money if you dont want too, you can still explore the tech.

> Your words

Without the rest of the context and no, criticism is not harmful. If it is a "sin" like you say, should we look at things you've said about FOSS projects?

> Fork it, patch it, there is no burden

Either you're delusional or you haven't done either of the things.

> if people care maintainers would switch, if switched enough patch would get in upstream or provide own repository with patches, that's FOSS way.

Yeah, and it'll take the next decade, being optimistic. GPU acceleration in Chromium and Firefox on Linux is a perfect example how absolute shit that "way" is.

> How much do you actually care? How much would you pay? Is it free as speech or free as beer?

Feel free (as in freedom) to just type out your arguments instead of asking rhetorical questions.
> Yet, according to Stallman’s definition [of opensource], software needs to be free: [Free as a bird, Free as a beer]

This is totally wrong. Stallman focus on freedom to use the software, he never stated that the software need to be free of charge. Yet, Stallman hates the word opensource because is it to vague and it does not guarantee the freedom to the user. Stallman use the term free software and or libre software, and mean free as in free speech only not free beer. While Free software and opensource software's definition may overlap a bit, it is not the same, for example, some opensource license does not allow making a modified version and using it privately. Free software focus mainly on users' essential freedoms, while the opensource initiative focus on practical benefits only.

Here is a good read about opensource vs freesoftware: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....

Richard Stallman deploys a lot of effort trying to raise awareness about the importance of free software please STOP miscoting him.
I make my own schedule doing remote software consulting now and have previously worked with startups and FAANGM+ after an acquisition.

Over my career I seen many different types of schedules from 9 to 5 , 10 to 6, basically 24 / 7 (people just starting or working on scaling startups pulling 80 hr weeks)

You have to decide whats right for you and do what you can to shape it the way you want.

I explain it like this, work life balance is a spectrum.

On one end I know some people for whom work is life. If you contact them at 3pm on Saturday they'll be in the office happily on the grind. Its their everything.

On the other end you have people who do just enough work to not get fired even in the middle of the week and focus on their hobbies in their spare time.

I used to think poorly of either extreme and now I've come to the conclusion that who am I to judge? You make of life what you want to.

I personally have chosen to strike a very strong balance. So there are some weeks where work is everything and others where personal life is and I work a max of 8ish hours that week or just take it off all together.

The hard part initially is finding work that is conducive to this.

Startups are not and though larger companies can be the tough part is finding an organization that has enough trust that people will be respectful of when to work harder and also when to make sure to take time off or slow down.

I find the right balance of happiness and productivity for me is

- Full time M, W, Th (usually start between 10am and 12pm)
- Half time Tues (and Sundays on occasion only when I need extra time to plan out the we ahead).

Off on Saturdays and most Fridays as well.

I also workout regularly Sun, Tue, Fri. its huge for energy and overall wellbeing.

I've been toying around with trying to build a community around people who value schedule flexiblity and strong worklife balance.

There are plenty for the 80hr week startup crowd but less for the lifestyle business crowd.

I am paying for whatever I can I pay where I live - hbo, amazon prime, netflix, local services, spotify.

I think about stop paying and switch to torrents simply because of the horrible UI each of these providers has. It will probably will be more of an effort, but enough is enough.

What I want: VCL interface - start / stop / pause.
What I do not want: the rest of the crap like extra info (Amazon), bad search interface (hello all), buffering issues (hello HBO, Netflix), dark patterns where you can not stop at the end of the episode, but they may let you to continue watching credits (FY everyone).

This is oft-repeated, but in my opinion, the question isn't whether you are a better educator than a professional educator, the question is can you teach your child better than a professional educator can teach 30? The answer may still be no, but I don't think it's nearly as clear cut.
I saw something recently about the PlayStation manufacturing plant, and I recall that there were snippets of similar robots doing a lot of this complex cable work. I'd be curious to know if this new work revolutionary or evolutionary in contrast to what Sony's cable automation does right now?
Tripitto
Tripitto was imagined after a 6 months trip in Mexico when I realized that the best way to tell my adventure and share my tips was to create a travel video. Since that time and like many Filmmakers, each trip deserves a video.

Tripitto is a travel video platform that allows Filmmakers to share their video and travel tips all in one place. For Travelers, all kick-ass travel videos will allow you to pick your next destination, project yourself in the country while having valuable tips to plan your adventure.

Tripitto adventure just begun, the launch is for soon and we would love to see you onboard .

Pseudo-Random vs. True Random (2012)

You're assuming anything that saves/time money is ethical because it is beneficial for the company. But many things that are beneficial for a company are unethical and bad for actual humans the corporate "person"/entity interacts with.

Flooding a market with below-cost goods (or "discounts"), to drive out competitors so that you can generate a monopoly, is predatory pricing -- literally by textbook definition. It's also illegal, it is a direct violation of US federal anti-trust law.

https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-a...

No one is against "discounting" (as in, coupons for Cheerios, or discounts for bulk orders). But illegal predatory pricing is often passed through the economy under the disguise of "a discount", and it's correct for people to challenge that.

Ask HN: how do people brainstorm/get feedback on side project ideas?
I've had some free time recently, and so have been thinking about starting a side project. I have a few ideas, and have been trying to brainstorm more. I often want to share them with friends to both 1) see if they would want to work on them as well, 2) see what they think of the idea. So for I have been doing this via text/email. One of my other friends does a similar thing but keeps an excel sheet.

Do other people do this as well? If so, are there any other tools/communication mechanisms you use?

The issues I have with my current methodology are that I don't like having to send the same message to multiple people, and I would also like to collect their thoughts in one place. I've considered using a google excel sheet/doc, but that feels maybe a bit hacky? I've also considered using Twitter or something (since another thing I sometimes want is to see what the general public thinks) but that doesnt feel like quite the right platform.
