So usually what happens is that an individual is an expert in their under-served area, sees the opportunity, and then puts in the effort to build a business to serve that opportunity. The point being that you won't get people who know of lots of opportunities, but rather many individuals who each know of their own opportunity. And you most likely won't find such domain experts on HN.

It might be worth looking for evidence of attempts at building such businesses, since often such domain expertise doesn't pair with business-building expertise. So if you're trying to build such a map, then maybe look at all the businesses (including all the failed ones) that served each market.
Nah, it's termite. You're trying to destroy your logs, right?
If one does not want their lawn to look like a piece of nature, they could as well remove the pesky plants and put some artificial grass, as used on football fields. Both pristine-looking and honest.
I have never seen a cylindrical slide rule, but I have seen a gigantic linear slide rule. The whole instrument itself was probably between 10 and 15 feet long and about 1.5-2 feet wide. I don't know what the total scale length was, because I never got to see it up close. It was hanging above the blackboard in one of my high school math teachers' rooms. I think the effective scale length might have been rather small, because, IIRC, it was actually a demo instrument used to show people in math classes how to use a slide rule.
Is releasing this legal? It seems like this person isn't really disguising their identity or concerned about breaking the law. In their profile they even seem to brag about leaking company's code.
No answer, but I also have this issue. Curious to know the cause.

"mentions backdoors"... nobody is saying they have found a backdoor in the leak, they just suggest looking to see if there is one. This headline is fantastically overly sensational, to a level of irresponsibility.
I'd sort of do it the sort of reverse way... Run KVM with pass-through to a VM MacOS instance and then run all your docker shit on the Linux host. Best of both worlds right there:

1. You get MacOS with GPU acceleration (which is like the primary feature for making it usable).

2. You get a legit environment to run docker containers... That doesn't have to boot a VM and rob you of all your ram. If you haven't ever used containers on a metal Linux environment, you're missing out... it's much better experience than doing it on a Mac (as far as development goes).
> n the other side of the coin, well-loved restaurants could disappear at a moments notice because the owner/chef got tired of making the same type of cuisine and want to experiment with something new or more lucrative/trendy.

If you watch the restaurants that are successful, you will notice it does not happen. It may spell "the owner/chef got tired of making the same type of cuisine" but it reads "the owner/chef was not making enough money"
How to Use Wi-Fi Networks to Ensure a Safe Return to Campus
I was introduced to the idea of ghost kitchens a couple years ago. Initially, I was pretty keen on the idea. But at the time, we already had ghost kitchens operating in LA, and since then we've seen more open up. What have I not seen? Cheaper costs as a result. Now, delivery apps are flooded with a bunch of companies I've never heard of, I don't know if they're good, I don't know if I can trust them, and at the end of the day they're simply not cheaper for the consumer (one of the touted advantages).

I still think the idea has potential, and it sounded like Cloud Kitchens was genuinely doing some innovative stuff (I interviewed with them﹡), but I'm not convinced that potential will actually be realized. If the market shows it is willing to bear $X for some Nashville hot chicken, what motivation does an operator in a ghost kitchen have to undercut that rather than try to increase their razor thin margins?

At the end of the day, my excitement around the idea is around enabling entrepreneurial chefs, but it's sort of like a talent show - for every 1 great talent, there will be hundreds of less stellar entries, plus the inevitable business folks. It's an interesting idea, and it'll be interesting to see how it plays out over the coming years. That said, I'm more likely to support good brick and mortar companies that help build up the neighborhood community (especially in a city like LA that generally lacks a sense of community).

﹡They spent more time touting their FAANGU(ber) employees than selling the company and ultimately the in-person experience was one of my most loathed interview experiences. This was awhile ago, things could have improved since then.

I really like my Pixel 4. I don't think it's boring or bland. I think it actually has way more features than an iPhone, and I'd rather have that than 5 years support.

The Pixel 4 has automatic call screening, live transcription of voice recordings, instant translation, the Google Assistant works in my native language (which Siri doesn't understand), there's Soli chip (which is gimmicky, but I'm a developer, I enjoyed making apps which use the Soli chip), Google Lens built into the camera, the Google Assistant is leaps and bounds beyond Siri, etc.

Tasker on my phone is something I wouldn't give up for more years of support, and I really enjoy all the customizability Android phones offer as well.

Anything you can do on iOS/MacOS I can do with my Pixel. I can text from my desktop, receive notifications on both screens, send files and share clipboard between phone and desktop. And I can share files with anyone (Apple or Android device) over LAN using my Pixel because I can open a shell on my phone and start up a mini one-time file server which closes once the file is downloaded. And I can do all that with a push of a button.

IMO Androids are fun phones that also boost your productivity. That's worth having to change them out every 3 years.
USA state governments are semi-sovereign. Education standards, driving regulations, murder prosecutions, etc. are all done by the state government. Interstate commerce or foreign relations has to be involved for the federal government to handle it. Municipal corporations derive their authority from the state government and in theory can be dissolved at any time. So when they ban cities from raising the minimum wage but complain about a federal mandate they are legally correct.

We are going to get rid of locales as much as we are going to get rid of local languages, tradition and culture.

The US switched to the metric system in the 60s and there is a shitload of benefits in doing so. Has it worked? Not really. Still using the old system everywhere.

So the solution cannot be to get rid of locales, but to actually use them properly:

- Always use the right locale for the job (the OS or browser should be the oracle for the right locale to use)

- Read the data in the user defined locale

- Store the data in some canonical form (e.g. store numbers as number types instead of strings, use ISO-8601 for dates, ...)

- Write the data to the user defined locale
This means you don't have an occlusion mesh or any other depth information, correct?
That's true. If you want freedoms and rights in America, you're either not a part of the 'normal' American way of working and likely not making much money, or you're wealthy. Workplaces are authoritarian and remove a lot of rights when you walk in the door or sign into your computer, even doing surveillance on work devices that are further than simply asset tracking & data protection.
Neural networks are better compared to classical methods.

What you’ve just described is absolutely the opposite of what I want.

Mobile apps have very different requirements than desktop apps, not least as the metaphors are wildly different.

iOS and Android have sharply different layouts and behaviours. Yeah there’s a bit of overlap now, but even navigation is different.

Our Lord and savior, the banks, won't lease again to those bad men at the retail companies
You could see commercial real-estate be converted to residential.
Then they are doomed. Their current tenants can’t afford the current rent, and no new tenants are going to come along at that rent level while this crisis is still ongoing, so what are they going to do?

If the current tenants can be viable if rents are reduced, along with other cost saving measures, then maybe that’s a least worst outcome for society and the landlords.

Ultimately though, to me, the actual business leasing the property, employing people and providing service to customers is doing more for society and the real economy than a heavily leveraged management company. Those retail businesses don’t deserve to exist on any terms, but if they do have value, then I think they’re worth giving a second chance.

I'd love to hear more on that last part, if you care to share more details. I've always been a little curious if varints are worth the effort, at least as a default format. Seems like there's a decent chance that what you gain by shaving bytes, you lose in branch instructions.
If everybody made such comments on, say, gwern.net posts, then, the most that would probably happen is that upvotes would lose their signaling value regarding the quality of gwern.net posts. The comments not saying "I upvoted this because gwern.net" would still be an accurate gauge of submission quality, IMO. Based on reading a good bit of their writing, I don't think u/gwern [0] would modify their posting style at all, just to garner HN upvotes.

One class of markets that I suspect is a target-rich environment: disability-adaptation tech.

1. There is a decent chance that existing entrants are tied down by a focus on meeting the regulations rather than on delighting users.

2. You might be able to significantly scale-up and thus improve the unit economics.

While the market of people who can pass the means-testing to qualify for whatever government-subsidized benefit exists might be small, the nature of bureaucracy means there is often a MUCH wider pool of people who are "quasi-disabled", either permanently or temporarily.

Note that there are a few disabilities which are so overwhelmingly common that the market is already saturated. The classic example is eyeglasses.

3. The specific disabled population is a ready-made population of early adopters IF you identify that you can keep your focus on delighting users and just use the regulations to remind yourself of risks and edge-cases. (This really will depend quite heavily on the quality of the regulations -- notice the difference between Japanese zoning and SF-bay housing-approvals) Lots of legacy disability tech:

* Has a pretty frustrating maintenance cycle, so you can win on a strong customer service brand IF you can innovate on operations.

* Can be pretty frustrating to use, so you can win big on design.

A focus on delighting users rather than ticking boxes is naturally going to produce a naturally better product. Here is the key tactic though: lean on the early-adopters for high-detail feedback. This problem occupies a much larger proportion of their lives than the average user of a product.

This higher-strength signal of user needs is known as the "Curb Cut Effect". https://thingofthings.wordpress.com/2014/11/15/the-curb-cut-...

This also seems to hint at a good trick to turn any regulatory box-ticking exercise into purpose-driven-design. After all, a focus on privacy-by-design is better than a focus on the letter of GDPR-compliance, right?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hilariously, I used to work for a YC company unwittingly building assistive tech for my particular disability. Their Curb Cut effect was so ridiculously strong, they've occasionally written ad copy with reference to a symptom I've experienced and I'm pretty sure they still don't even realize it. Looking back, I now really wish I had been self-confident enough to explicitly disclose -- especially when their CEO started using a wheelchair.

That's the irresistible force (drop in salaries) meeting the immovable object (bank valuations of real estate). It's impossible to see how this is going to be squared up. On one hand, banks cannot possibly be allowed to re-value what real estate they have on their books, else they'll have to declare bankruptcy, on the other hand, wages have dropped spectacularly, and people need some sort of roof over their heads.
Yeah, I flagged this entirely due to the irresponsible headline. Too many people will read the headline and then repeat long afterwards because a conspiracy theory about a large company is hard to resist.

I wonder how Apple will respond if malls start collapsing.

(I’ve heard rumor that) they pay just pennies on the dollar for their store leases because they draw so much foot traffic to the malls.

Even HTTP/2 Push is an order of magnitude slower than local File I/O on a good day with perfect (internet) weather. ESM isn't even the first approach to try to deal with this, for instance AMD had nothing (at first) to do with "big money" and everything to do with average web developers trying their best to practically solve the module problem for the web and CommonJS was never going to be an option in a web browser (even if AMD or ESM spec authors had magic foresight to HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 they'd still have the same concerns with CommonJS).

CommonJS was a mistake that the JS world is going to live with for years more.
Except Qualcom drivers are so crappy, you can rely on a remote exploit via WiFi or BT every year. So no chance to use the phone longer than maybe 2 years, even if nominally the software support might be longer.

The logic behind federalism is that getting it right is more important than getting it done quickly. Because once it's settled nationally there's no escaping it. In theory states are laboratories of democracy and if an issue is important enough it can be a factor the next time you move. Also government has to operate closer to the people. The factors driving public policy in different areas can lead to different solutions.

Yeah. But, species will do it regardless. It’s an easy to point to example, that’s all.

A lot of other folks made this point, but I’m replying here because your response was the most considered.

No one — myself including — is saying that physics is biased, or that this tool is inherently biased. The headline is misleading, it’s really talking about the interpretation of the number that’s biased, not the physics. The number is just a number.

The bias comes through the typical institutional use of this tool, as described in the article: the “normal” regions are based on “normal” for lightly pigmented people, so heavily pigmented people are by default not in the “normal” range. Do some doctors realize this? Of course they do. But as programmers we all know the power of defaults some doctors won’t realize this, or will forget, or will realize it but it will still affect them.

Other policies (like the Medicaid one described in the article) also ignore these differences.

It’s not the physics that’s biased. It’s the institutional and individual assumptions around the tool.

Unlikely.

Most projects won't come anywhere near this sort of thing. There may be a possibility of doing clean room implementation, but writing the spec based on stolen IP is the problematic step.

Then again, there is a high chance that none of this will be useful.
