If the goals are to cut fossil fuel consumption and/or dispersal of waste into the natural environment, it ain't that simple.

The best option by far is to not consume things. Don't buy stuff. That's working out really well for us, isn't it?

Next best in many places is single use followed by incineration for district heating and electricity.

Third, in many places, is single use with well managed collection and disposal to a well managed landfill.

When you dig into the numbers, things like reusable glass containers, cotton bags, and so on are harmful virtue signaling. Karens get to shame other people who harming the world less than the Karens are by a long way.
ah. that claim does seem entirely plausible, yes.
So if these incidences of harassment are evidence that BLM are "acting like brownshirts", prey tell to what should we compare the right wing groups that have spawned several fatal shooters?
Ask HN: How to stop constant march of features as a co-founder
Background: I am a technical co-founder who has been working on a startup for a while now.

My non-technical co-founder/CEO (who has majority share) is constantly thinking of new features he wants us to deliver ASAP. The problem is, as we've kept building features, the system itself is getting less stable and we've accumulated cut-corners over time to deliver ASAP. We (the engineers) have made it clear that we need to spend at least a month or two refactoring, adding tests, and doing other improvements if we want to get the product to a level where we can successfully land & support a big customer.

Every time we find a stability issue & figure out a fix, he asks for LOE - if we don't say we can turn it around in a day or two he shoots it down and says we have too many features (which he just thought of to begin with in the last 2 weeks) to do.

A few months ago, we pushed back pretty hard and said after our next milestone, we need time to pause features & work on stability, and he said we would. Well, it's been a few months and now there are a bunch of new features we Need in order to be Successful. It's getting harder to believe since half of the features we did build get little to no use.

So what can I do? I've tried pushing back but it doesn't feel like my opinion on how I should spend my time & labor carries weight. I'm trying to slow down feature development by bundling new tests, adding missing tests, etc into my definition of done. But that feels like a band-aid and it's hard to improve things piecemeal like that.

There's also the fact that making this unprecedented political endorsement forces the SciAm name into the forefront of online discourse, quite possibly prompting a wave of traffic and maybe even subscriptions from people who viscerally agree with the SciAm article. Pragmatically speaking, this article is insta-viral free advertising at the cost of Trump-supporting subscribers.
Thanks! Yeah you are right, Vertica is good at OLAP and DWH. I'm just torn between wide table and dimensional data modelling and it's Vertica's problem. I'm probably attacking the wrong monster here.

I'm wondering if you have any source for OLAP data modelling under big data and columnar database?

The better ban would be to ban drinks sold in single use containers.

Apple has two hundred billion dollars in cash sitting in a bank account, a fitness ecosystem, and deep experience in fitness and video production. They've announced that the initial set of programs will include cycling, treadmill walk & run, yoga, core, strength, rowing, HIIT, and cooldown. They're planning to add new workouts every week, and have popular, properly licensed music (Peloton spent years illegally playing music, before switching to no-copyright music for a year. Today its in a better place).

I would not bet money on Apple losing on class quality, let alone variety.

They lied about the recycling potential to encourage widespread adoption of plastics. I don’t think consumers are blameless, but you can’t get everyone in the world to change their purchasing behavior without regulation, which is necessary when lower prices are subsidized by huge externalities that have negative consequences for the world at large.
Oops, I changed that because a day was too short and forgot the docs, thanks!
Well, to be fair, I know people and projects in the developing world, and buy things for (or give money to) people there too.

I've also seen the impact of organizations which promise to spend money to save people there, and it's not always pretty. You can't serve two causes well. Picking between Western donors and local recipients, successful NGOs must choose to serve the former and not the latter. That often just distorts markets and causes its own problems.
Good luck doing business without society.

I never said I'd struggle with fizzbuzz. I said I'd struggle with fizzbuzz on _his_ whiteboard. Because it would give me anxiety to do it there in front of him, and it's not how I code or think. And this is a person who created a throwaway account on HN just to get into an argument, so I can imagine how the experience would be.

Getting the job @ Google was worth that stress. The original comment I made was to the effect of: before you dump a coding test on me, you better make sure it's worth the stress by convincing me why.
Has there been any progress on this? Seems like one of those things that sound great but might take a decade to get through the bureaucracy and implementation.
if the filter is the same distance from the fan, there really isn't much of a difference. Filter after the fan is perhaps a bit better from a turbulence and noise perspective. https://www.quora.com/Where-should-an-air-filter-be-placed-r...

One thing to keep in mind though is most filters have an expected direction of airflow, which does matter both to its efficacy and efficiency.
I have a bot in Java that re-transmits messages between Slack/XMPP/Telegram.

Sending message in Slack is:

- sent to Slack servers

- bot looked up and data sent to it

- bot (on a server in DO) figures out what to do with the message (working with an MQ server running locally :))) )

- sends message back to a server (slack/xmpp/etc.)

- that message gets processed and pushed to the corresponding client

I could never properly measure the time between the original message and the translated message. It was always way way subsecond.

Everything we have now: networks, servers, code is very fast.

There's something to be said for giving to one-off opportunities that you're directly aware of, and that are genuinely underserved by others; this can have some very real impact. But such cases are rare, and limited in scale. The basic benchmark of just donating to save people in very poor countries from malaria and the like is very hard to beat.

The savings rate is an important contributor to economic growth because surplus permits investment.

However saving can hurt growth by reducing consumption.

Savings can be thought of as a steady state rate of saving that the economy has adjusted for. Saving is a higher order effect that causes an increase in the savings rate, temporarily depriving the economy of the level of consumption it expects.

The seed song approach isn't very good.

I think the way Spotify discovery works is looking at songs you have favorited and compares other human created playlists from users that have your favorite songs, then taking songs from those playlists you haven't heard and putting them in a list for you. I think they also do some modeling after that, but it's secondary.

This works really well since there's a human selection element they're taking advantage of and playlists tend to collect stuff that people who have the same taste will probably like.

Radios based on seed songs I've found to be pretty unimpressive, similarly curated playlists that don't know about your tastes are also uninteresting.

It's the combination that works.

The weekly distribution is also good because you get time to explore new stuff each week (rather than just being overwhelmed) and you can further improve things by liking/disliking new stuff.

Good to know the Apple UI improved though.
"No Copyright Infringement Intended" is a meaningless disclaimer. Either the music is public-domain or permissively licensed and you're fine, or it's not and you're probably not.

If I were you, I'd try and find something that is Creative Commons, CC0 is best (the most permissive CC license). And then you can say in your disclaimer that the audio is CC licensed, which is ideal.
What’s the value in that vs a small note in README.md or similar?
Soft drinks, booze, etc. are really harmful, but at least they have a value add that makes shipping them around coherent. Bottled water is a different matter.

Obviously we should be discouraging the use of soda and alcohol and such.
On the Arm in the datacenter point, Nvidia doesn't actually have to cut off IP from competitors to achieve dominance, just the ability to do so is enough. Would anyone continue to fund Ampere (the company not the graphics architecture) if they know that they are dependent on one of their biggest competitors for IP?

I'm prepared to make a prediction: In 5 years Nvidia will be the only significant Arm supplier in the datacenter and all the other entrants will have given up - and that this explains why Intel's stock has risen over the last couple of days.
I guess that is the stack behind the great Aviato? Groovy from back to front.
a CU is not a computationally complete unit, it has no independent thread of execution, all cores in a warp follow the same execution path (indeed all execution paths, even if not applicable to that CU).

That is in contrast to your FPGA example. Either one big core or many small cores can all execute their own threads.

It's not that simple either, you've got stuff like SMT and CMT where you have multiple threads executing on a single set of execution resources - but CUs are clearly on the line of "not a self-contained core".

I support charities and think more people should give.

At the same time, I think it is a bad systemic solution to rely on charitable giving to solve large-scale problems.

Imagine an island with 100 residents, each with $100. Their moral compass varies randomly from Mr. Rogers all the way to a few outright sociopaths. Each day, everyone decides how much to donate. The kinder people donate more because they're kinder. The selfish assholes obviously don't.

What does tomorrow look like? Well, now all the good people are a little poorer and have a little less power. The sociopaths are richer and stronger. They use their edge to secure a little more power, maybe skim a little more off the top.

Watch that island for a few years and what do you start to see? A few avaricious monsters with all the wealth and a horde of poor decent folks doing their best to distribute fewer and fewer scraps equitably amongst themselves.

This is the real magic of taxes. Because taxes are morally neutral. They don't preferentially take more money away from the most decent folks. Ultimately there are some bad selfish people out there and if you don't have some way of forcibly reducing their power, they will take it all. Taxation backed by the force of government is one of the least violent ways of doing that.

I'm very disappointed that Scientific American endorsed a political candidate.

The reason is that this act adds to the polarization of this country. It does nothing but add more hate to the world. It brings politics into an area of life which has previously been apolitical.

Worst of all it normalizes the idea that one political party is smart and rational, and another is stupid and illogical. Every time this idea is repeated, and this article will lead to the idea being repeated more, another swing voter who could go either way clings tighter to the Republican party.

Sure, it feels good to claim superiority in this manner, but it has the opposite effect from what was intended.

What happens if glass packaged goods are much more expensive to ship and prone to breakage thereby creating considerably CO2 exposure?

There are a zillion unforeseen externalizations in the mandates your listing - this is why centralization usually doesn't work very well.

Plastic is one of many materials that go in landfills, and we don't turn it into Co2 either so I'm not sure how we can go after that 'evil industry' and not others?

Probably a better solution would be to figure out how we can make use of that material afterwards - or - finding rational ways to dispose of it relatively cleanly.

> I wonder how profitable it actually is.

Apple doesn't need for these services to be very profitable. So long as they break even, investing in these platforms invests people in Apple's eco-system and hardware. While Music has an Android client and TV+ has some support outside Apple TV, many of the services require Apple hardware.

> Apple TV and Arcade have, by my understanding, not done great.

It's really hard to tell how good Apple TV+ is doing. Creating a streaming service/ network out of thin air is ridiculously difficult even for a big company like Apple. While I wouldn't pay $10/ month for Apple TV+, having it as part of a bigger bundle makes it a solid add-on.

I haven't tried Arcade because I don't game much, but having it as an add-on to a bundle means I have a source for casual games which are add-free.

I kind of suspect both Apple Arcade and Apply TV+ were launched last year to gain a little momentum for launching the bundles this year. The fact that TV+ was free for a lot of people over the past year until now supports that idea. As I said above, I wouldn't have paid for TV+, but I do enjoy some of the programming on it. (Ted Lasso is pretty damned good)
I have to wonder if you know what fizzbuzz is. It's not your typical Leetcode question where you need to know algorithms, etc. It's a lot easier than perhaps the easiest Leetcode problem.

Fizzbuzz wasn't designed to test people's prowess in coding. It was designed as "This is one of the simplest possible programs one can write. Can this candidate do it?" While many people may go through their whole career not dealing with dynamic programming or most data structures, almost all programming is fairly similar to FizzBuzz.

As an analogy, it's like giving someone who claims to be a circuit designer a basic circuit where he's failing at Ohm's Laws or Kirchoff's Theorems. Or an electromagnetics person who cannot integrate a basic polynomial.

If you have test anxiety that's one thing, but if your reason is "I need time to think this through", it's a huge red flag. Kind of like the person saying he needs to consult a table of integrals to integrate x^2.

I'm against intense Facebook/Google style whiteboarding. Fizzbuzz is at the extreme other end of intensity.

Minor nit: Architecture and not “Package”, the latter has specific meaning. ARM defines not just instruction set, but also the architecture - Core, Memory layout, peripheral busses, etc.

Because most people in society, across all wealth levels, refuse to live within their means. I was quite disappointed when I discovered this, because I thought that if I made enough money, I'd be able to support all my family. But then I started noticing that the people who were broke generally had newer cars and computers than I did, and that families with multiple six-figure incomes were spending their way into bankruptcy. And the government does it too, accumulating ever more debt.
I'm not sure what exactly you are critiquing here.

>Doesn't this just make it a little too obvious that the company is more interested in paying you as little as they can get away with rather than paying you for the value you bring. You are payed your replacement cost. If you bring more value, you are harder to replace. It has nothing to do with total value, if this was the case, no company would ever make a profit.

Is there anyone who thinks that a company pays employees $1 more than they have to? I haven't met anyone who thought otherwise. Afterall, they aren't a charity.

>The employee equivalent of this is accepting the wage they're offering and then optimizing to do as little work of value to the company as possible

I also haven't met anyone who goes above and beyond out of some sense charity. I know people who work hard because they enjoy their work, or think they will get more pay, but not simply for the sake of the company value.

It really doesn't look any different from many other emacs set-ups and the actual appearance depends a lot on what the user has configured for themselves. The "out-of-the-box" look is minimal and optimized for keyboard, that's really all you can say about the appearance.

The "UX" in the case of Prelude is basically a curated set of "plug-ins" that "just work" and are organized in a way that is easier to maintain than if you accreted your dotemacs file over the course of years (or decades).

Prelude is a really low-friction way to get started with emacs "the right way" if you're choosing to go down that rabbit hole.
