Not sure that I buy the theory either at the macro level, but I think one thing I have personally seen/heard of is people who are now realizing how much they don't like the city life (even when things are open) and the pandemic is the straw to break the camel's back here and convince them to go elsewhere to try something else. The key is that it's not temporary for them.

Even the people that are there for work and already knew their city reality may also be realizing their gained happiness out of the city is worth more than the financial boost of their job in the city.
Wouldn't that be a kind of slavery? Creating AGI would mean creating a new kind of sentient life. Is it not entitled to rights merely because it's artificial?

And if that argument doesn't interest you because of AGI's massive utility, then how about this: If Superman were born tomorrow, and we put implants in his brain that made him really, really love America, apple pie, and basically do whatever we want, how would you feel?
Wouldn't this approach exactly have the issues the article recommends against?

You're thinking of the coast redwood's relative, the giant sequoia. Fire dries out the cones causing the seeds to release.
Agreed.

Also, these trees must now survive a hundred years of aggressive fire suppression, which (ironically) allows fuel to build up to dangerous levels.

Either way, these trees are a lot safer after surviving a fire.
My first thought too. I feel this is meant to be more chaotic in someway: being able to put all the information raw and rearrange them easily, whereas Notion feels more like documentation, where your data has to fit a template.
Good point. I think a better description is both the phone number and the username are tied to the account, and you can change both at will. There are enough privacy settings in Telegram that can effectively turn off having your phone number show up anywhere. You disable contact syncing and even delete synced contacts.

> But trust isn't transitive so PGP's apparently more powerful offering doesn't actually do anything ...

Trust in the abstract isn't inherently transitive, agreed. I'd argue that employing PGP as though it were is misusing the tool (that might well be easier to do than it ought to be, but that's a different conversation).

WoT as realized by PGP seems to me to be a very good tool for manually assessing whether to trust a previously unknown key for someone that a third (untrusted) party sends you.

I remain highly optimistic that some future take on the WoT concept will be advanced enough to tackle trust in general in a distributed manner.
I've only used Vue SSR / Nuxt this way, so there might be a fundamental difference in the implementation, but hydration process in it isn't blocking, and whether or not it's slow greatly depends on how heavy your webapp is.

The page that he browser is hit with has ALL the content pre-rendered (sans CSS) in that first HTTP HTML response, and it behaves like a classical webpage henceforth until the moment that the interactivity bits are being hydrated which is deferred.

I concur that it's still a bad idea to use SSR SPAs for use-cases where a non-dynamic HTML page would work decently well, and there are ways to pack some of these frameworks (Vue in particular) so that it's a JS dependency of an otherwise functional webste (i.e. progressive degradation) for a lot of the in-between use-cases, but when what you're building is heavily leaning towards being essentially a web application (say, an e-commerce site, webmail client etc) then SSR is certainly the most viable option for a decent user experience that isn't full reloads on every click, but also doesn't take ages to become interactive.
I grew up in Yugoslavia.

Again, not half as bad as your statements suggest. I have never heard people being coerced to work en masse. Everybody had a job and there were plenty who did very little, as I said in my previous post. In some sense, I guess it was considered bad if you lived in the city and didn't work but plenty of people lived in countryside where they just lived off the land. As far as I know, nobody cared if you had a job or not.

I am not saying it was good. Free political thought was not allowed, speaking against the regime got you into nasty prisons, where, yes, you were coerced to work like a slave. I knew a few people who went through that and that really was bad :( What I am saying is that most people still led relatively normal lives.
Unfortunately California is exporting its people in droves to the most desirable smaller cities in other states right now, overwhelming their local cultures and politics. It really is very destructive and sad to witness. In my experience, CA transplants don’t respect the existing cultures and politics of other places, but rather look down upon them and aggressively try to reprogram them into the same thing they left behind.

This is exactly what happened to Seattle between 2005-2020, basically SF-ifying a sleepy town in the northwest. We will simply be seeing the same thing play out in a much faster and in a more widespread manner in the 2020s.

This is correct, according to the documentation [^1].

I could not find any explanation of the differences between io1 and io2 that would justify the increase in IOPS per GiB and durability on the EC2 user guide [^2] or on Amazon Builders Library [^3], though.

Note that 64k is the maximum IOPS per volume, not per instance the volume is attached to. Therefore you can use software RAID configurations to increase your performance or fault tolerance further [^4]

Communication inefficiency wastes your interlocutor's time. Depending on the context, it might be considered rude.
1. It’s not about “top secret research”. This is about misrepresentation of research undertaken by the Mayo Clinic.

2. It’s not just that a spokesman can’t point to the statistic - it’s that scientists can’t work out retrospectively where the statistic came from, and their best guess where it did come from suggests that the president and the FDA commissioner were wrong, and exaggerated the benefits of the treatment.

3. It’s great if the US Govt is supporting COVID research. But it’s terrible if they then politicise the research, and lie/exaggerate the benefits that the research might have shown for political reasons.

4. Put simply, when the FDA gets things wrong, it’s likely that patients are harmed or killed. In this case it’s probably not so bad, but political interference in the process of approving drugs and treatments for patients is a frightening situation, and not one that any reputable politician should be anywhere near.
You can conceptualize all you want about dog fights, the truth is nobody wants to be the pilot having fired all the missiles and having nothing left to engage the remaining enemy planes.

It's a bit like saying a soldier doesn't need a bayonet / combat knife. 99.99999% of the time yes, but would you bet YOUR life on it?

It is also a frustrating experience to endure reloads on every click if what the user is using feels like a web application and you're essentially placing that burden of reducing the interaction roundtrip time on your infrastructure which gets expensive really really fast.

Most web-thingies are neither 100% plain websites nor 100% plain webapps, most are in the middle, some are heavily leaning on one side or the other.
I believe your comment is wrong though. Those two things will use exactly the same amount of memory.

The data pointer in the slice points to an array-type of size zero. All allocations for objects of size zero return a fixed address in the data section (so there is a distinction between a nil and non-nil object, but a pointer to a zero sized object does not actually take any space).

It is significantly different than medication -- in death rate, OD rate, way that we modify the body, etc. I agree they have similarities but to treat them with the same level of caution (which feels like the emphasis here) would imply a similar level of risk, and I've seen no data that supports that. If you (or the author) has any, I would love to see it.

This is what is happening here in the Netherlands. 10 years ago we wanted a house in a specific neighborhood and it was just out of reach financially. Now I make twice as much and it is still out of reach. We are also considering going more rural, prices are just insane now in and around the cities. But we have hardly any building going on, when a house hits the market sometimes 20-40 couples line up and they make one offer blindly, usually well above what the sellers asked for. It's pretty frustrating, soon started will no longer be able to find a house.
I’m not sure if I’m 100% sold on this. The service sounds like ( in their own terms ) “Big WEB” but the in a server that is... “owned”? By the user renting that server.

Honestly it just sounds like every other server farm out there. Rent a server, put your data on it, hope the service doesn’t go down and trust that the company isn’t selling your data behind your back.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea they propose. But mechanically, it seems to work like any other place.

Want to convince me? Make a service where I can rent my own server ( not just a portion of it ) and physically own it. Nobody, not even the provider, can access it without my explicit permission in written form ( email with digital signatures ).

Until then, this “Small Web” service just sounds like every other server provider out there.
These are definitely some validate starting points. I recommend giving some sort of chronological order to the process. With emphasis on spending quality time up front defining what problem space you are attempting to solve. Once that is defined, you might have a more clear idea about your potential target customer. From there you could actually build better traits about your customer. This process is typically known as building personas. This part of the process is helpful and helps you and your team focus on what are the real themes/problems needing to be solved.

I do agree that reading definitely helps but one book isn't enough. There are several books in this space that are helpful but probably deserve their own thread. Especially around strategy. Maybe worth building out a collective comprehensive recommendations list one day.

Surveys are great but wont capture the true understanding of your customer or the heavy user of what ever product you create. One needs spend some quality time (1hr initially) with these customers so you can build out a better persona which will help you hone and focus on creating the right solution. Then you can use future surveys after gaining trust to get valuable feedback. I do however understand this is a "fill the top of the funnel" approach which isn't bad.

However that said you make some really great points throughout your posting about falling in love with the problem which will allow you to create a great solution.
This discounts the long-term benefits of learning to derive pleasure from the progression of your own skills and abilities.

Why must every Hacker News comment start with a low effort dismissal of the work or insult. There are legitimate differences between the Facebook and Google approaches.

This might seem like a strange comment to write. After all, Facebook is a very successful company as are the engineers who work there. However, I really don't understand the need for these shallow comments.

My personal rules of thumb are "if I can expect a comment to be made on an article with only having seen the headline, don't post it". Sometimes I think that our public discourse rewards criticism since the criticizer must be smarter than the one who is critiqued. To them I link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JPOoFkrh94.

What really makes me concerned is what the after effects are going to look like. What happens to housing prices after this is all over? When people realize their impulsive buys were a mistake. When foreclosures and evictions sweep the country.

You're misunderstanding something here. The global temperature anomaly is substantially smaller than even day to day variations in temperature, and completely dwarfed by seasonal or day-night variations. The problems expected from climate change are almost entirely systemic - few individual lifeforms will end up in an out-of-context situation.

In this specific case, a 1400 year old tree will surely have seen some wildfires before.
I'll be very surprised if things get much better anytime soon, certainly not before the end of the year. Maybe two years from now... but I wouldn't bet on it. I live in a city where some questionable calls were made with regard to rioters, so I'm eager to put some distance between that and myself.

Efficient doesn't mean "fast". It means that it minimizes the ratio "energy_spent / goal".

So if we're going to talk about communication efficiency, we need to define what's the goal being optimized here.

If a manager wants to minimize the time spent dealing with one of the engineers and wants to see this engineer quit, then the "cursory explanation" can be considered "efficient".

If this same manager, instead, wants to maximizes the odds the engineer stays and improves her/his weak points, then the "comprehensive" explanation might be a lot more efficient, despite requiring the manager to spend more time at it.

“Force X” in the context of a discussion on reasonable industry regulation is a way to frame any action in the direction of positive liberty for the public at-large as one of government overreach or having ones’ basic rights eroded.

...which completely disregards any actions by the offending party that put us in this situation in the first place.

Yes, Apple should be “forced” to allow for App Store competition on iOS, iPad OS, and probably tvOS too - the same way that I am “forced” to give a portion of my personal income to the IRS - or how I am “forced” to keep my MP3 rips of copyrighted music CDs private and away from my friends who I would love to share my musical tastes with.

Apple isn’t a person. Despite /Citizens United/ I don’t believe Apple has any inherent or inalienable rights that should somehow be “protected”.

Your tactics change too. Instead of building a drone that can keep up with a fighter, focus on area denial. Throw up tens of thousands of tiny drones into the atmosphere that each travel at say 50 mph (like a model aircraft), and train the AI to put them in the path of anything moving within that airspace. The goal isn't to hit the fighter, it's to make the fighter hit you. Think of a flock of Canada geese over an airport: they're tiny, they move slowly, but they're super unsafe to fly through. Now imagine that instead of trying to get out of the way, the geese try to get in the way - and if you get within 10 miles of one, you may have a Sidewinder on your tail.

Then when not engaged in air defense, these drones engage in CAS. Taking down fighters is a secondary mission - their real role is to dominate the battlefield, and part of that is by making it so unsafe to enter the airspace above the battlefield that it's futile suicide to try.
Well, I'm familiar with HN (if that's the site you meant). Looking for some actionable recommendations.
> You can already authorize an arbitrary third party Android app to act as an app store

Apps installed with it cannot auto update without rooting your device. Rooting breaks many things (on purpose). Defeats much of reason for store vs side loading.

> and it would be completely compatible with everything in the Android ecosystem

Definitely not. You would never pass "safetynet" anti-root checks. An alarming number of Android apps no longer run on AOSP. Only on Android devices unaltered and locked at bootloader level. Google recently upgraded these root checks to be "unbreakable" by using TrustZone.

Android started out much more open, but big G is slowly choking it off. Having the core OS open source is pointless if nothing runs on it. And we're slowly getting there
Yeah but presumably your own troops know where your land minds are, so having them not explode if they recognized your face would be kind of stupid.

I think maybe those landmines are supposed to kill specific targets, and avoid collateral damage.
Where you live is a compromise. With the city benifet gone but not the suburban ones the suburbs look attractive to people who are on the fence anyway.

Well there's interest rates from the Fed, and then there's mortgage rates. Since there's a higher default risk from mortgages than government debt, I think housing interest rates could rise again, they are at historic lows right now, although the fed funds rate as you say has been trapped near zero. While the mortgage rate is usually tied in with the value of the 10 year bond, it seemingly has done interesting things recently now that the 10 year bond is so low that a bank wouldn't cover it's default risk with that rate.
Your attitude comes off as selfish and entitled.

You're the one lacking knowledge, the one needing help, the one who can't figure it out themselves.

The experts don't need to be teaching anyone anything. No one owes you anything. And if you demonstrate unwillingness or inability to formulate a proper question then they have every right to ignore you.
In the era of 5G, massive storage and incredibly powerful CPUs, we really should be exploring the home server space, as it has scope for huge improvements in terms of enabling non-technical people to own their data and operate 'servers'. This would actually realise the dream of a distributed network of full-fledged peers and also put tremendous power in the hands of ordinary people.
It is very very easy for self-publishers to publish plain static HTML content on the Web. A good modern solution is Github Pages, but there have always been good solutions for this.

Yes, people have gravitated to centralized platforms for various reasons, and those platforms tend to make it difficult to publish entirely handwritten raw HTML/CSS, but it's not because the alternatives ceased to exist.
Just my tidbit:

I am 8 months into my journey after severe burnout (decided to take n amount of time off till I felt “right” last December).

I am not a founder, but have worked in high caliber roles for the last few years (I am still fairly early in my career). My last job was at a YC company.

I started out thinking it’d be 2 months. Then 4. Then it turned into 6. I panicked a lot in the beginning, I am used to overworking or nothing. It just took time, and things started to fall into place mentally (and even physically).

Now I’ve accepted that at a year, I believe I’ll be ready. I’m happy to report I feel motivation creeping in - and my creative wheels have been turning. It’s really about where to channel things next. It is the most refreshing and rewarding feeling in the world, to see light at the end of the technical-block tunnel.

If I’m completely honest, there are still days when I dread the thought of returning to the screen, even when I don’t want to - but those days are less and less. I’m extremely fortunate to have been able to do this.

Burnouts are like bad breakups - our nerves are likes wounds, and it just takes time to heal them after putting them on overdrive for extended periods of time. The emotional toll is taxing, a high and illogical price to pay when you consider resting like we are designed to do. Just my two cents, good luck!
