All true. And yet, Provo is far more independent than your examples, both geographically and socially/economically.

How big is Claremont? How big is the LA metro area? How big is Elgin compared to Chicago? Provo is maybe half as big as Salt Lake.

When you're in Claremont, and you want a night out, do you stay in Claremont? Do you in Elgin? In Provo, you're more likely to stay local than go up to Salt Lake. As I said, it's geographically more distinct, but there's also a more insular mindset. "Claremont" is a legal entity, and it's a collection of colleges, but it's not much of an entity in peoples' minds. It's just part of the LA metro area, sharing LA's smog. Provo, in contrast, has a separate identity from Salt Lake, and even has separate smog.
I don’t think the label “trans” precludes that society. Most trans people I know recognize that there’s a distinction between acting feminine and being a woman.

It’s people with conservative views about gender who use trans people to justify traditional gender roles when relatively few trans people even want to fit into those roles.
I can see the logic behind this. But at this point, my main concern is that people who can afford to invest $100 are not investing. Do they know about Wefunder?

I'm curious why they wouldn't also eager-load _other_ images.

As soon as an email is received (regardless of whether the recipient account exists or not), load the image from the remote host.

This also degrades the spying capabilities of third parties. If they track image loads to translate this to "email opened", they'll immediately get pure false positives from any email they sent to @hey.com -- even if the account doesn't exist.

I remember times when the big news were about some celebrity doing something dumb, some sports club doing something exciting, the oil price going up or down or some proposed law being contentious. [Note: This is outside the US.]

It could just be me growing older and/or the news that I'm consuming becoming more globally focused. But are you really suggesting that 20 years ago we had issues comparable to the US giving up on pandemic response, to BLM, to impending climate catastrophe and rising fascism everywhere in the world?

Just that the headlines in the news always have the same font size doesn't mean that the news is always equally dramatic. This goes both ways.

They're fine, as good as anything else right now. PHP can be very high-performance, and MySQL/MariaDB, when run in the strict modes (usually enabled by default now) it's ACID-compliant, fast, and still easy to administer.

I was part of a team that launched recently on C# (.NET Core) and MariaDB, but if more of us were comfortable with PHP I'd have had all confidence that that'd have been just as good a platform.

> Hindus considered breath and spirit the same thing

It's funny, because I just realised that πνεύμα(pneuma)/spirit in Greek has the same root as πνεύμων(pneumon)/lung: the verb πνέω(pnéo), which means I breathe.

This is not Mr Portokalos talking from My Big Fat Greek Wedding, people: πνέω is traced to the older Indo-European stem pnew- , and the whole point of my comment is that there is a lot of heritage in language through the eons from older cultures and civilizations.

Trivia: the suffix -μα (like in the words pragma, dogma, trauma etc) generally means “the result or the carrier of the verb's actions”, so like pragma (“thing”, what is/has been made/done), dogma (what one believes in; the firmness of the belief is irrelevant to the ancient word), trauma (“wound”; the result of being wounded), pneuma would be what is being breathed; and there's another connection to old roots: alcohol is «οινόπνευμα» (spirit/fumes of the wine), and alcoholic drinks are called “spirits”.

Google Earth was originally developed at Intrinsic Graphics in the late 1990s. October 2004, Google acquired Keyhole. Google maps started February 8, 2005.

It would have been easy to offer kml links and "force" the users into Google Earth. Before it was tinkered into a steaming pile of shit Keyhole was a truly fantastic product, with a lovely community, arguably the greatest thing since web browsers (with picasa & hello as a close 3rd and 4th)

For a web based thing the ajax maps was quite nice but today I really hate using it. The data is great tho and you cant complaint about the price.

Walmart provides a decent quality product at a decent price.

Their business is designed around tearing out margins in the value chain, and passing the savings along to customers. It's a business strategy unheard of - not only do they pass on a lot of savings, they force vendors to do so as well.

The healthcare system is completely fat with gristle, exactly what we need is a Walmart barking up the long-tail.

$15K-$20K for setting a broke arm? I don't think so. $30 for the Aspirin while you're at it? No. $2K for the scan? No goddam way.

Walmart would probably only get into things that could be 'very well operationalised' ie more common stuff.

And consider the vicious leverage they would have over drug makers ...

Healthcare is 15% of the economy and growing, Walmart tearing into Healthcare would be more transformative that the existence of Google.

For any service that Walmart provided, I would be glad to go there.
AR-15 isn't high powered. It's not considered suitable for hunting many types of game in many states.

30-06 was introduced in 1906 (the -06 bit) to fix the 30-03 (making it a hair shorter and a lighter 150 grain spitzer "pointy" bullet instead of the 220 grain round nose). The result was faster, lighter, and a flatter trajectory at a weight of around 27 grams per cartridge (I don't know the weight of the 30-30, but I think around 30 grams is probably accurate).

The 7.62x51 went down a little to 147 grain, but shaved almost a half inch off the length reducing weight to around 24 grams at a somewhat minor expense of velocity, range, and impact strength (very few people could make use of the extra range and power in combat).

The first 5.56x45 was all about reducing size. 55 grain bullet was a fraction of the size while the overall length dropped by almost 3/4 of an inch resulting in around an 11.5 gram cartridge (the 62 grain version adds another half gram or so). The effective range dropped dramatically and kinetic energy was cut in half, but once again, very few people can shoot that far in combat and the kinetic energy was deemed sufficient (though that's debated by some soldiers today). Double the ammo for the same weight is a much more important metric for the army.

It's a good cartridge for a lot of things, but it's the weakest rifle cartridge the US army has ever used and probably the weakest intermediate cartridge used in any army in the world.
If there is one company with the will, the liquid cash, and the volume to break away from TSMC, it is Apple. Just saying.

They design their own chips in-house, they are moving to use them across their full stack, they are already TSMC's #1 customer by a wide margin, and they could literally build a 3nm fab with 40k wafers per month with less than 10% of the liquid cash they have on hand ($5b for the node and $15b for the fab). And they are the type of company who brings everything possible in-house, and the type of company who looks at a single-source monopoly like TSMC as a business risk. Fabs are literally the last part of their hardware/software stack that they don't control and that another company could potentially leverage them over.

Right now there is no alternative to TSMC, people literally pre-eulogize NVIDIA Ampere and other products simply because they're on Samsung instead of TSMC. How do you think that looks to a company like Apple, that they are completely dependent on this company for node tech and subject to increasing competition for wafers as everybody else realizes there is no alternative and piles in too?

It needs a full-stack integration to work properly, it's an immense amount of work. The Linux kernel is great at lots of things, but being good at scaling back power usage is not one of them. You'd want to be able to have timers that will wake the machine up form suspension that application developers can use and throttling of radios. The device has to be suspended, but you should still be able to receive calls. MacOS does this impressively well (try pinging your Macbook as it's slowly nodding off, and see the response time increase). Better still, you can ping a macbook over WiFi that's completely suspended - SSH and other services won't work, but the kernel will still be there and do some I/O - this requires some kind of a power-level aware system in the kernel that can coordinate with device drivers and have userspace interfaces for registering applications that might want to receive data when the machine should be suspended. The designwork required to achieve this with Linux and it's ecosystem is far more than the capable but small team at Librem can reasonably achieve, not because the team is small, but because this would require a lot of coordination between different upstreams.
> Hydro is dirt cheap already.

Apparently, hydro produces a significant amount of greenhouse gases within the first 100 years or so, resulting from decaying plant matter and so on.

There was a story on HN a few years ago, IIRC it listed hydro providing 4% of the world's electricity while being responsible for 1% greenhouse gases.

I couldn't find the original story, but I didn't look too hard. Here's the first other source I found:

Are you referring to the missing diacritical marks? (nước mắm)

"Nuoc mam" is much less ambiguous than using "fish sauce", so using the translation seems like a lot of precision is lost. Plus, "nuoc mam" is the standard romanization of "nước mắm", which is admittedly difficult to type on QWERTY keyboards + en-* locales.

If you're talking about "nước chấm", as far as I know that is a class of dipping sauces that include things besides just "nước mắm"[0].

Ask HN: Looking for a simulator/game for learning to make PCB's/computers?
I'd like to learn how to design little dev boards/PCB's/computers/electronics.

However learning electronics is somewhat daunting because there's so much to learn but also hard because it requires physically making and connecting things to see if they work.

I wondered if there was some sort of electronics design emulator/simulator/teaching tool/game that would allow you to virtually design things and see if they work and also somehow teach you along the way what things do and why they are done a certain way?
It gets even funnier for non-english speakers. ReCaptcha gets translated to your language, and sometimes it doesn't make sense.

For instance, let's say that the thing makes you mark images of "toes". If you get the captcha in spanish, it will say imagenes de "dedos".

The funny part is that "dedo" in spanish means both "finger" and "toe". The only way you can distinguish is by saying "dedo de la mano" or "dedo del pie" (which would literally translate to "finger of the hand" or "finger of the foot").

Hence, you click on both images containing "toes" and "fingers", and the freaking thing decides you must be a bot. If you can speak english you'll figure out eventually, but if you only speak spanish you are screwed.
The downvotes must be coming from asking about the latter point since it's clearly institutionalized.

I can relate to this. Took a job in product management that some days makes me feel great and other days just makes me want to shut everything down and walk away. It’s cripplingly stressful sometimes the amount of responsibility and lack of time to get actual work done.

I find myself thinking about finding lower paying jobs with less responsibility often, but at the same time I feel exactly like you mentioned - I just need to get control over my thoughts and realize it’s just a job.

> This requirement for temperate language or forfeit a receptive audience - I don't know.

I can say based on a lifetime of experience if you want reasonable and influential people to shut their ears to you, use incendiary language. And the reason is simple - the strong correlation between an emotional appeal and a lousy argument.

You don't have to believe me, but I encourage you from now on to pay attention to the language used and the strength of the argument.
Hi. Only if they are very well sourced. One of the good ways I have is consuming content from primary sources, and then recouping it because many people talked about it, and then getting insights. Books, videos, blog posts sometimes.

This is time consuming as it can be one sentence in a two hour interview, but it is quite the education.

I'll give you examples. One of the greatest video lists is the PandoMonthly fireside chats with Sarah Lacy. These are more than 50 videos with founders and VCs. They are long, sometimes lasting three hours. She asks excellent questions and has a way with guests. It helps she's very knowledgeable and has talked with other people involved in an acquisition or an exit or whatnot, so when the guest answers, she further qualifies the information which nudges the guest to go deeper.

It also goes through eras. With the Chris Sacca interview, she goes over his time when he worked at Google. With Stuart Butterfield, they go over his time with Flickr, where he goes over the advice he got from Reid Hoffman and Esther Dyson who were investors on whether to sell to Yahoo. The tech they built for their "game", etc.

With the Kevin Systrom interview, they talk a bit about his time with Odeo, Twitter's ancestor. Or the fact he actually knew Zuckerberg when he was in college.

But say that we're talking about marketing or growth. Alex Schultz has lecture 6 (Growth) on How to Start a Startup where he exposes a few things, and the input of Sean Parker on how to grow. Recoup with another video by Chamath Palihapitya on that effort, where he talks about "someone" on the team proposing they do what they used to do at eBay.

You wonder about why, say Pachyderm, went with an open-core model, and it turns out they were in the same YC batch with GitLab, and the latter's founder sat the former and convinced him because he had tried a bunch of things.

These are anecdotes and trivia, but gruesome wars and magnificent events were born of lesser incidents. One example would be the Sequoia/Parker/Facebook thing and the change in relationships with founders many attribute to that (proxy, founder control, etc)

These and the books give context on many things, like shifts in distribution models for enterprise software, or insights on a difficult decision at a company you wondered about or why certain things were institutionalized at another.

I want that kind of content, not some bullshit video or article with no research and a title that goes "This startup..." or "Learn how X did Y" that'll talk to me about the three things to do to do x.
Any increase in redundancy should increase the raw error rate. However, with a credit card check digit or md5sum file the additional data is relatively tiny compared to the data it's responsible for checking, so you're much more likely to catch an error than to introduce a new one. Double-entry bookkeeping, in the traditional sense where you actually record every detail about each transaction separately in two or more journals, is more like a RAID-1 mirror: double the data, so approximately double the raw error rate, and if a discrepancy does turn up you'll have no idea which entry was wrong and which was right. But if you lose a journal outright you can recreate it from the mirror image.

So far as I know, most actual "double-entry" accounting software just stores each transaction once in a general ledger. The appearance of doubled entries is all in the UI where it processes the ledger to present a list of transactions from the perspective of a certain account. You still get the benefit that the system won't allow the balance of one account to be increased or decreased without an equal and opposite change in other account(s)—money cannot be created or destroyed[1], only moved around.

I don't like that the "view full size image" is gone, or at least almost gone. I remember Google Images being very good in the early 2000's, but now it's really anti-user. It has become a chore to save images from Google, with a lot being Pinterest spam that doesn't fulfill my search.
