There's no reason why free (as in either libre or beer) software has to incur privacy or subversive-practice costs -- see Linux or PostgreSQL, for example.

The issue is that the ad network economy, as currently structured, allows inflicting these costs against consumers -- who couldn't possibly keep track of them all even when technologically well-educated because there are so many apps, SDKs, advertisers and publishers -- while incentivizing application authors to take part with the assumption that they are safe in the crowd.

Rather than pay $5 for an app and hope that it won't misbehave now and/or in future, it generally seems preferable to use a competing free and open source application backed by a community that can inspect and modify it to add features and fix any discovered problems. When such software doesn't exist, it can be developed given enough demand and interest.

But hasn't the market for app sales grown in sheer volume due to the AppStores reaching and channeling millions and millions of potential customers?
Indeed there’s no difference. There’s a possibility of different emphasis, but it would depend on a wider context.
I assumed this was doing some LAN-based communication (multicast perhaps, or webRTC), but it looks like it's just a standard chat server that generates one room per IP address.

It'd be interesting to extend the idea to do literally local chat though. It'd be effectively serverless, super resilient, and impossible to externally access (nice for all sorts of compliance concerns). In theory it's all doable, but the initial bootstrapping to find other people on your network from within a web app is tricky...

there's something illogical about "disruptive innovation methodology"

how can something disruptive and innovative -- which I take to imply unpredictable novelty -- be methodological?

I take methodology to imply that something has become normalized; that it has become common enough and happened enough times that its practice can be systematically described as a method.

"Our scientific and engineering production pipeline makes 10 disruptive innovations every year! 100% satisfaction guarantee. invest now!"
RISC-V is far past "couple of maker boards" now. The last year has seen a lot of activity.

You're right that a number of mainstream software packages are still work in progress, for example V8 doesn't target it yet.

But RISC-V is thriving in other areas like industrial controllers, and Alibaba Cloud just announced a few days ago they are using it in a new server processor, positioned as an eventual competitor to AWS Graviton.

Topically: Nvidia uses RISC-V in some GPUs as a controller (not the GPU core). Not sure if those are released yet, but they gave a presentation on it at a recent RISC-V meet-up.

Yes, but at the same time I just look at some of my past collegues. Some people are pretty useless and are kept in often well paying jobs for years. Also Reddit is a good place to find out how dumb a lot of people are, or Facebooks' programming groups if you find Reddit's level too high.

TL;DR: I think this is down to the convergence of some perennial dynamics, and the recent success of apps like Notion, as another commenter alluded to.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this. As someone for whom research + writing are a primary component of daily work, I'm probably a little too willing to play with new note taking apps :)

I think the recent surge is actually a convergence of several different trends:

1. There's always been a decent volume of new note taking apps, in large part because of how tempting they are as a project. They feel both approachable (until you try to build one), and they're such a familiar-yet-blank canvas that it's incredibly easy to come up with a "tweak" that makes yours different.

2. The love people have for Notion, and the so-far success of the company, have made it a more attractive niche for more serious startup-y people. Where you used to see more solo projects, you're now seeing a decent amount of apps built by full teams.

3. Human nature. While I am the first to evangelize the impact taking better notes can have, it has also been my experience that note taking systems are the ultimate bike shed problem. It's easy to tinker with them and try new apps out, believing that you'll find the perfect system that will unlock your inner genius. I think a lot of project management and productivity software has a similar thing going.

Well, English too has some interesting ideas where to put prepositions in the sentence, that is, turn them basically into postpositions. For example, "Which basket did you put that exquisite marble figurine in?"

The "in" is logically related to "which basket", so one would expect that the question would actually be *"In which basket...", but nope, that's rustic and colloquial at best. I suspect it's because of the word inversion in questions, since in dependent clauses the order is reasonable: "I put the figurine in this woven concrete basket over there".
If you look around theres a few Rogue stock bots. Sign up for some notifications and you quickly realize they do in fact restock weekly (most items at various times on specific days) but they just sell out incredibly quick.

Between the bots and r/homegym I've been able to build out a complete home gym (squat rack, bar, milspec bumper plates, echo bike, bunch of accessories, few kettle bells).

The thing that was the hardest for me to snag was the spotter arm's, they kept restocking right during my weekly sprint planning and by the time I got done would be sold out.
Yes, theoretically you can do "everything you need" (no, but in terms of main lifts I can accept the answer) only with bodyweight exercises. In the same way you theoretically only need Notepad to program in any language.

In practice it sucks.

Yeah ok, sure, you can make your push-up harder or easier if you incline one way or the other. But do you have a bench that can be set to the exact height you want? All padded surfaces? Do you have enough space? Not to mention your shoulder mobility/strength which might or might not be the best one for your push-up to work on all inclinations.

Do all people have enough dexterity and strength for all bodyweight exercises? I don't think so
I remember driving through the Santa Monica Mountains on my way to Malibu right after Southern California was absolutely deluged by rain for weeks. It was one of the most stunning displays I've ever seen in person. Three years later Malibu burned down. So it goes.
I'm just saying there was a lot of mourning and saying "the redwoods are gone".

When people responded "you don't get to be a 1000+ year old tree without being able to survive fires" the response was "yeah but that was before climate change. These trees are likely gone forever now because climate change combined with fire suppression is causing super fires that burn much hotter"
The schools won't lose that prestige, however, because the majority of the kids they admit are academically gifted. If, say, 30% of a class are legacies, that means they pick and choose 70% of the class from academically gifted kids who are verified to be, "Our kind of people". (With all the exclusionary connotations of that phrase.)

What we're talking about is the connection, during formative years, of the academically gifted to the ultra wealthy and ultra powerful. The idea that this would result in less prestige is fanciful in the extreme.
Pronunciation changes meaning too.

"i didn't say he stole the money." this doesn't say much, but when a word is stressed takes on a new meaning, so one should be careful to capture the stress in writing.

I didn't say he stole the money. - someone else said it, not me

i DIDN'T say he stole the money. - you think I said it, it wasn't me.

i didn't SAY he stole the money. - I never said such a thing, might have suggested it's a possibility, but never said it.

i didn't say HE stole the money. - I said someone else stole it.

i didn't say he STOLE the money. - I might have said he took it, like borrowed, but definitely didn't say he stole it, who knows?

i didn't say he stole THE money. - not the money in question, another money.

i didn't say he stole the MONEY. - he stole something else besides the money.

So the same sentence can mean something very different and to really make sure the reader get's the meaning, will need more context than in spoken language.

> it isn't the civilization ending pandemic we initially thought it was

If you look at the USA age distribution of 65+, the death rate of those above 65+, and assume 50% only get it because herd immunity we're talking about ~4M deaths.

Yes, not civilization ending but Losing >1% of your population isn't something to just brush off either.

Of course if there's a vaccine then it'll be much better but this is just the USA and now think on a global scale.

Not all countries will be able to afford the vaccine, not all countries will be able to get access to it in time, not all countries will be able to produce it by themselves at scale, etc.

Let it sink in what a 1% population loss looks like on a global scale, 78M deaths.

I think this is why the markets have been so bullish. How much financially better do developed countries with retirement plans look if they didn't have to pay out ~7% less of all retirement payments.
Inverted shoulder press is super effective and not as hard as a handstand pushup.
Yes, inversion is often a useful trick.

Harsh: We really like your proposal but we don’t have the resources.

Soft: We don’t have the resources, but we really like your proposal.

Another trick is to not just say, "I disagree" when you disagree. Validate first, then express disagreement. For example: "I hear you and see where you’re coming from. I have a different view." This lessens defensiveness.

This might all sound very silly, but these are actually brain hacks in order to have constructive conversations. Depending on your culture, you might have a different sensitivity to direct speech. If you're sensitive, your lower brain (fight-or-flight mechanism) is activated when you perceive someone is critical toward you. The idea of rearranging language is to defuse that lower brain (fight-or-flight) tendency and move the conversation to the upper brain (executive function), so instead of fighting at a pure feelings level, ideas can be exchanged (and disagreements can be had) at a more abstract level.
indeed not.

Soldiers and firefighters also certainly skew less wealthy/educated/powerful, so a priori I'd say the same power dynamics apply there (though it's of course possible that the effect is smaller if you dig into the numbers).

It's also entirely possible that some people would feel driven to participate in a medical study out of a sense of duty (e.g. I'm young and healthy and want to put myself at a bit of risk to contribute to our understanding of the virus so that my much more vulnerable (grand)parents have a better chance).
You do not lose the App Store, you can still use it and use only that - it is up to you. That is the entire point: you are in control and if what you want is to keep using the App Store and App Store alone then you can do that.

Others, in the meanwhile, should be able to install whatever application they want if they want to do that. Just because the current situation aligns with what you want to do doesn't mean that it is the perfect situation for everyone - but as long as your situation isn't affected (assuming what you want is about you and not about forcing everyone else to be like you) then you should be fine.
A possible alternative to "learning" is "lesson". The problem with "lesson" is that it can have two meanings:

(a) a formal lecture given by a qualified person to a class;

(b) a fact that you learned from any person or even just a situation you were in.

"Lesson" in the sense (b) is a direct substitute for "a learning", but I have to admit a few people might sometimes interpret it as (a) and be confused. But it depends on the context - if a project report has a "lessons learnt" heading I don't think any reader is going to expect that means meaning (a).
At least 0% would require more knowledge than guessing. You might even accidentally educate a few anti-vaxxers, who would be forced to learn what they were disagreeing with. (Yes, I know it still wouldn't help.)

Sure I can see this, another thing is that cities suck in America. Just take a vacation to Europe and just wake up and go get a coffee and live your life getting around the city. Take the bus there and then come back to almost all major US metros and try to take the bus. European cities also feel much much safer, probably because the bottom 10% of their population in terms of income have simple access to some kind of safety net.

We only have a small handful of cities in the country that can even compare to this on any level. That's why young people would leave cities, because the cities aren't built for living in.
That wasn't a comparison. If 3rd party app stores are a thing, you might be compelled to use them by yet other third parties, contrary to your claim that no one would force you to use third party app stores.
While there are things that are difficult to do with bodyweight exercises, there are plenty of ways of upping the difficulty.

E.g. I benched ~150kg when I was doing powerlifting regularly, yet I wouldn't have a chance in hell of doing a planche push-up, or quite a few simpler push-up variations.

> only three of them can are usefull for athletic people

This, however, is a very strange claim. "Athletic" means an awful lot of very different things to different people. Someone doing gymnastics for example will typically be able to do a whole lot of things that most weightlifters wouldn't be remotely close to, and they need to to be able to do the things they train for.

Like planches. Or flags. Or L-sits with rings.

I could at one point do L-sits, and the guys at my gym looked at me as if I was crazy - most of them couldn't get close to lifting their legs to 90 degrees.

I've mostly trained with barbells, but it gets pretty tiresome to see people dismiss bodyweight exercises to totally - I could lift weights most people doing bodyweight exercises can't get close to, but they can do lifts and motions where I'd be starting basically from scratch.

To call them "limited" is pretty weird to me. People who do bodyweight exercises to a high level seems to have a more versatile strength. It's just different goals.
Rowing crews often make barbells and dumbbells out of steel pipes, small buckets, and concrete.

Here in the United States there are millions without insurance and they're unlikely to be able to afford a doctor's visit - as those without insurance also tend to be the poorest. To be honest, many probably can't afford dietary supplements either but for those who can then a blanket recommendation would be good for them. Either that or we should push for a public health measure ensuring everyone gets a physical, including bloodwork, every 5 years whether you have insurance or not. We need to start thinking through workable solutions for the bottom 20%.
And where are the sensors?
Well, Android is technically "Linux of mobile devices", though i guess you didn't mean that :-P.

But yes, the options are too few and things can go like apples - one bad Apple can spoil the bunch.
I concur with henearkr: that was fascinating. Thanks for contributing to the discussion.
The e-ecoat ones seem to be ones most often in stock - they restock a few times a week. The 35 definitely sells out fast.
So this is two components:

- 1. Compiles high level config into lower level Kubernetes config.

- 2. Sends/runs that config on a Kubernetes cluster.

As in post comments/threads back to Reddit/HN? Possibly in the future. We were originally all about our own comment system (which we've temporarily removed) and we wanted to limit users to our ecosystem. But we've recently started questioning a lot of our approach (we'd been hoping to apply for YC, but are really struggling with traction), so we could very well do that.

Posting links to Reddit would be a little iffy in that users would need to pick a subreddit. HN should be fine.

I disagree, the progress from hero to superhero is much more difficult. I can do many pull ups, I can do archer pull ups. In the gym I was just adding weights every time I felt it is too easy, 5kg at a time, nice little step up. During the lockdown I thought, okay, I can train for one arm pull up, I add half of my body weight in iron anyway. I still don't know how to do it gradually. I tried resistance bands and various progressions I found on youtube. They all feel like much bigger steps than adding 5kg every time. I ended up pulling my biceps when I moved from one resistance band to another.

Overall, I found it very irritating when people repeatedly told me: "oh, gyms are closed? try pushups at home!" Gym goers are already not "most people".
Apollo is amazing. It's the best experience I've ever had in an iOS app. The navigation is fluid and the app is very responsive. I never cease to be impressed by Apollo.

That don't care about your privacy.
My experience is they are good, but it takes awhile to figure out the logistics. With bands like I mention below, you can get good resistance. Maybe not for serious hypertrophy training, but enough to keep you toned.

I trained with weights regularly for about 8 years before switching to bands when I became more nomadic.

There are also tax benefits to the mortgage route.
From the article:
"The big gains came from the construction of apartments and condominiums, which soared 56.7%. But single-family home construction ticked up, too, by 8.2%."

So, nice solid growth in the "buying these houses" part of the sector, but by far bigger growth in the "people need to live somewhere" sector of apartments (which I am guessing is the bigger part of the apts-and-condos segment).

Some states stopped construction during the shutdown. Nearly everywhere is now allowing it, so activity surges to catch up. I know of no evidence that births slowed during the shutdown, and the deaths weren't enough to meaningfully impact demand for a place to live.

So, it's good news, but ought not to be surprising. Also from the article:
"...these are the kind of gains seen after storms/hurricanes"
Well, yeah, and the pandemic is in many respects more like a hurricane than it is like an economic recession.
