Some very weird choices. No internal ducting for AC? Crazy, its a LOT cheaper to include that when building. Now in some heat-death future you end up with ACs hanging out the windows. Wood heating? Wow, thats incredibly polluting. Indeed, they may find it outlawed eventually, its already illegal in many places. Heating with wood also means making the room with the stove an inferno just to make the rest of the house acceptable. No closets? If that's what you're into...but its going to be hard to sell.

Average home ownership duration is ten years. So yeah, you kinda have to make some considerations for the next person. No AC and wood heating are going to be a hard sell.

yeah you can pay for some additional feeds. But my point is that the base terminal that costs $20,000 a year doesn't come with the sort of live equity feeds that you find for free on google or yahoo finance.
There's one element of the tragedy of the commons. Honest Bob's Social Media Emporium might not be entirely motivated to mark their users as untrusted, when most of the pain of the spam is felt by the other thousands of providers they federate with.

"Hey, doing SMS verification of new accounts is expensive, but required by the other nodes on the network. How about we don't, but say we did?"

Imagine a solution to email spam that replaced looking at IP address reputation with looking at the sender's claim about their own reputation. Laughable idea, right?

The other problem with your suggestion is that you can't do abuse prevention with a single signal, even if it's not Boolean. I even gave an example in the previous post, with checking whether accounts doing similar abuse were clustered together at account creation time.

Show HN: Web-based self-development book on psychological software optimization
Not your typical submission, but hopefully it still belongs here. This is a book called Designing the Mind: The Principles of Psychitecture that I spent a year and a half writing and building into a web-based reader.

You might be into it if you like books on psychology, practical philosophy like Buddhism and Stoicism, rationalist groups like LessWrong, or just general self-development. But I thought this crowd in particular might appreciate the pervasive tech metaphor and mindset. It offers a new framework for self-improvement based on the idea that our minds can be compared to software and our issues are algorithms which can be reprogrammed with the right principles and methods. You can read a longer description through the link.

It will be for sale later this year, but it's free now because I'm looking to get feedback and make improvements before the hard launch.
Yeah so far from some of the generated Tweets, etc. it seems like there's a form of using this to seed creativity. It's much better than the current give me startup idea titles.

IIRC eBay Kleinanzeigen was heavily marketed around 2010. As a consequence it's virtually the only classifieds site in Germany.

Bear in mind, you don't need regular trade routes from Andes to Tibet, you only need the tiniest "leakage" (e.g., one outcast per 250 years leaving/entering the Andes, one outcast per 250 years leaving/entering Tibet, one explorer per 25 years starting after 1400AD traversing the Atlantic, that would probably be more than enough).

In their paper, Rohde et al take all this into account, they do their homework, see p. 564 for the data they use about most recent establishment of routes. I'll quote this interesting tidbit from the paper: "Several factors could cause the time to the true MRCA or IA point to depart from the predictions of our model. If a group of humans were completely isolated, then no mixing could occur between that group and others, and the MRCA would have to have lived before the start of the isolation. A more recent MRCA would not arise until the groups were once again well integrated. In the case of Tasmania, which may have been completely isolated from mainland Australia between the flooding of the Bass Strait, 9,000–12,000 years ago, and the European colonization of the island, starting in 1803 (ref. 13), the IA date for all living humans must fall before the start of isolation. However, the MRCA date would be unaffected, because today there are no remaining native Tasmanians without some European or mainland Australian ancestry." To force the IA older than 9000-12000 years ago would require Tasmania be totally isolated, without even a single sexually productive immigrant/emigrant per 1000 years, for all that time.

I wish more companies experimented with in-home appliances, particularly for cases where it means being able to drop a dependency on cloud infrastructure. The only company that seems to have made inroads is Amazon with Alexa, but like the Zoom appliance here, it encourages cloud dependence rather than relieve it.

The price point here reminds me of the Helm email appliance, though, in that they're both too expensive to realistically make a dent in changing mainstream habits.
This is something I've been thinking about for a while as well, and I'll be giving a talk exactly on this subject next week:

https://www.meetup.com/SF-Video-Technology/events/zpltdrybck...

There are already vector-graphics runtimes like WebGL and SVG that are more than capable of rendering "video", even within the html video tag, and through modern video streaming architectures like Dash and HLS (will share the link to the talk, and demo links for these things next week).

Those aren't "codecs" in the traditional sense, and I think there is an open question as to whether a "codec" is even necessary. Scrimba (https://scrimba.com/) uses "HTML" as a video codec just fine in production, and it works perfectly, and there's no "codec" per se behind it.

That said - in 2020, web architectures already exist in a way that you could easily make a "video codec" for vector graphics, and some standardization would help - thought not specifically necessary for adoption in the way it would be for a "regular" video codec which doesn't just enjoy native vector graphics runtimes like SVG or WebGL.

If you needed a file format, I honestly think that Lottie is the best option for a "file format" for vector-video, since it's open source, and mostly just based on the old Flash standard (https://www.adobe.com/devnet/swf.html)

What's missing from Lottie for it to be a "video" format would be easier integration into video streaming architectures like HLS or DASH, and that's honestly something I'd like to do as an open source project - essentially a way for video players to "play" lottie video files as one of the video options (like, on top of 1080p, 720p and 480p versions, you have the vector version as well)

From the perspective of Vectorly, we clearly understand that there's a lot of skepticism around the idea of a new "codec", and we wanted to avoid the idea that we are actually building a new codec.

Our preferred framing is this: There are already "codecs" for vector graphics that are open, and as well established as H264 is. We're just working on a converter / transcoder from raster to vector, which admittedly will always have artifacts of some kind - though you could just as easily take source vector files and stream them and transcode them to a vector codec (SVG or WebGL) without doing that kind of raster to vector conversion that we're proposing.

I've worked with only one truly effective 'does everything' product manager, and I'd look forward to working with him again. It's rare to find natural executives that haven't gravitated into more straightforward executive roles. Perhaps you're leaning in that direction yourself!

What has been consistently effective at the team level is to divide the various functions discussed here between a 'product scientist' and a 'project manager' who both collaborate with engineering (plus UX, QA, etc). These roles may employ different titles, but I think my terminology more or less captures what they do well.
I bet a lot of people would get away with it, too. These generated texts are often just convincing enough to make you think they would make sense if you were less tired/distracted/whatever. A teacher in a rush or at the end of the day could easily be fooled (especially considering the quality of many human-generated term papers).

I don’t think a lack of concern and thoughtfulness around hiring is an irrelevant or nuanced signal.

Having been both a manager and an IC I strongly believe that hiring is of the utmost importance. The same thoughtfulness, care, and responsibility that goes into leading engineering teams that are in charge of mission critical systems must extend to the hiring process or else everything else is at risk. A single bad or even just not great hire can be devastating to a team. A company with a culture that is just recruiters funneling candidates thoughtlessly is guaranteed to fail over time.

Sure if you need a job or aren’t in an employees market you might have to suck it up and take that job. I get that. I would advise saving a lot more than usual as that charade of hoop jumping is going to result in layoffs/bankruptcy in the mid to long term. Also, don’t expect them to be any more thoughtful in the layoffs than they were in the hiring.

Sure a lot of big companies do thoughtless hiring and that might work for awhile when you just need to scale thoughtlessly but a lot of big companies also get their lunch eaten by smaller companies with more thoughtful managers (ex. IBM, MSFT pre Nadella, possibly Google now)

Stuff like this is why I keep saying that Apple is a fashion company, not a tech company. Or more accurately, they're a company that makes technology fashionable.

But apparently fan noise isn't fashionable, so they try to eliminate it, even if it comes at the cost of performance in what is supposed to be a performance-oriented configuration.
I use both, and I find that I generally prefer Mastodon nowadays. I find it's strictly better, and a lot snappier as well. Meanwhile, the community is now large enough that there's no lack of interesting content.
>If all goes well, we should be looking at major relief by this year's end

While the news is encouraging, I think we need to pump the brakes a bit. It is very common for vaccine candidates to show promising cellular results (formation of neutralizing antibodies) and then utterly fall apart during actual efficacy testing (not actually prevent infection in people, or even actually make the infection worse when it happens). This is why most vaccines take 10-15 years to develop.
That's part of the charm isn't it? I too have a silly dream of sometimes designing my own dream house.

> It is really hard to convince people out of a feeling by using facts and proofs

I agree with this. I think the problem with deepfakes is that they could make it impossible rather than "really hard" to "convince people out of a feeling by using facts and proofs." Not only will those people have "a feeling" to back up their false beliefs, but they'll also have convincing fake "facts and proofs."

Those fake "facts and proofs" will also make it easier to convince others of the false beliefs. With deepfakes, it could be possible to convince someone with moderate to high "trust of government" of false government conspiracies (e.g. a convincing high-resolution deepfake showing Hillary Clinton knowingly engaging in child sex trafficking or talking about adrenochrome).
Look to literature that is "punny" or very culturally specific. An example: The title The Importance of Being Earnest is itself a pun on the character's (eventual) nature and name. Translating that to another language you'd need to change the name of the character to maintain the pun in the new language, which may not be feasible. That's a small example, but it's common in some books or plays to see things like this used frequently, especially in dialog.

Worth noting that running a Mastodon instance is vastly easier than setting up your own mail server. Digital Ocean even has it provisioned nowadays, so if you wanted to set one up for yourself and friends for example, it's mostly point and click.
I think both GUI and TUI applications have their place. For developers and people who are comfortable with it, a CLI can be really extensible, allowing for every application to be opened or used instantly from the same location, and you can automate series of processes. GUIs have their place too. Some applications are more ergonomic with a GUI. I think the two of them can live in harmony.
This is only a flaw insofar as the child-protective services are effective in detecting abuse and the state is a monolithic entity.

My point is that trying to guarantee recursive watchmen does not work. It almost invites looking at that structure as a puzzle to be solved, as a game to played.

A power balance based on mutual trust and mutual responsibility is more susceptible to individual overreach, but also more stable in identifying them.

$25k/year to be among an elite community of traders and investors even though the experts struggle to beat the market. Does not sound so good. You can get all the other stuff for free using thinkorswim and other services. Anything Bloomberg provides can be done for free or with much cheaper services. Reddit's Wallstreetbets is free to join and it seems people there have a knack for beating the market and knowing what to buy before it becomes really big. They have been bullish on tesla and amazon for a long time. Like any community, part of the challenge is filtering out the noise from the signal.

You missed the point here. Since there is a gazillion servers, that means you have to compromise each one individually. That's far more effort than compromising a single server. Also, worth noting the context of the hack which was a social engineering hack as opposed to a technical exploit.

The MEB platform is part of a Volkswagen strategy to start production of new battery electric vehicles between 2019 and 2025.[3] In 2017, the VW Group announced a gradual transition from combustion engine to battery electric vehicles with all 300 models across 12 brands having an electric version by 2030.[4]

As of May 2018, the VW Group had committed US$48 billion in electric-vehicle batteries supplies[5] and announced plans to outfit 16 factories to build electric cars by the end of 2022.[6]

Love that post, although the "CEO of the product" title has never really resonated with me. A large difference between being a PM and an actual CEO is that both CEO lead via influence but the CEO has final authority.
