This is because there is the tendency to reduce stress by throwing money at the problem. Car unreliable? Got a raise? Buy a new car that won't break down at random. Now you are stuck in car payments for the next 5 - 7 years.

There's things other than lifestyle creep. For example, many families tend to increase their income as they get older. But the expenses also go up. Having one kid, vs 2 - 3 later on, or kid expenses when they are young vs. teenage years (where you now have to worry about increased car insurance, getting them vehicles, etc). And upgrading housing as the family grows. The effect is that your income constantly seems to be outpaced by increasing and recurring expenses.

So what happens is parents get into the mindset of doing without, so their kids can thrive. And when problems come up, they will sacrifice so that additional money can be thrown at fixing those problems. This doesn't let up until the kids are grown, and then you can sell the house and downsize. All of a sudden, your cars are paid off, the kids are doing good on their own (or you've disowned them), your housing costs is lower because you moved to a smaller house, which means utility bills are smaller too. This is now the point where people hit midlife crisis, they have surplus money and have pent up demand to "treat themselves" so go out and buy something expensive (sports car, motor home, boat, etc). And the tightened budget stress starts all over again.
Just downloaded the Adobe Acrobat Reader on Android.

It looks like the Liquid mode won't show up in the app if the device doesn't have Internet connection (kudos for graceful degradation here). Once you connect to the Internet and restart the app, you'll prompt to login to Adobe Document Cloud account to use this feature.

I tested a couple of PDFs and a lot of these files are showing "Liquid Mode isn't yet available for this file.", including: a Loan Estimation doc from LoanDepot, a PGE statement file, a Payment Notification from Nationwide.

It does work very well on https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000174-abca-d59c-a174-ffde1.... Outline, concatenation of multi page sections, inline footnote reference are all working as expected.

If this works for more types of document that would be awesome.
I like it. Great startup advice in general beyond getting into YC
A "non-compete" in California is very enforceable. Though not in the way that most people think of non-competes. "I will pay you $X, at $Y per month to not do that thing for the next $Z months. If you decide to do that thing before $Z months have elapsed, the money dries up. Also, the amount of money you receive each month increases with each passing month."

I did a deal with my small company in 2008 where I sold IP. I personally agreed not to go and recreate that IP for at least 5 years, and for that, I would receive revenue share from the current IP.

I also did a deal with a different small company I created at the tail end of 2016 whereby I received a cash payout with an attached clause of being sued into oblivion should I a) attempt to work with the client in some capacity for a period of time or b) talk about client so as not to jeopardise the in-place contracts. The company that acquired my company was interested in the contracts that my company had with a client, not the IP so much.

Non-competes in California are very enforceable, but they usually come with money attached and are not used to bludgeon a Sandwich Artist from earning a living at the deli across the road.
Ouch. Color me disappointed as well.

After SOMA, I'd say they are good at sci-fi, period. Even with its horror elements removed, SOMA has some interesting scifi situations.
I like Wall Street Journal and their typography, https://wsj.com and how they write their articles. Not sure if it directly applies to Wikipedia, but I agree with your general point about typography - 80-120 character width seems ideal, any longer and it is tiring.

Perhaps we should go with columnar layout. I don't think it helps by adding a bunch of whitespace... ultimately, you're reducing the amount of information shown on a single page which could just be columnized.

Christian Kellermann wrote this nice "Code it yourself Manifesto" [0] that always rings true with me. It is more important now than ever before. I believe OP is talking more or less the same thing.

I think you're mixing up stuff. Here is what what said:

- Headline: "Los Angeles hid a methane leak for a year"

- "Power revealed last month that its power plant had been leaking methane gas for at least three years"

- "The plant’s compressor units had been leaking gas “for the last couple years,” one staffer said. The utility had a plan in place to fix the compressors later in the year but"

- "especially because utility staff said they discovered the leak in August 2019, a full year earlier. Staffers said they didn’t notify the public because they didn’t believe anyone was at risk"

So, it has been leaking for years. But they only discovered it a year ago. They cannot hide what they do not know, hence the headline.

Although if I was the editor, I'd have chosen "Power plant leaked methane for years" rather than "Someone hid it for a year", but I guess that's the angle they've chosen (or the former was already known, so not "news").
This is very cool, thank you for the link to that. I will spend some time checking this out.

> I tend to think that synthesized jet fuel is probably going to be a technically easier solution than converting the jet fleet to hydrogen fuel

The US Navy has always been interested in that. They have surplus energy, after all, and incentives to manufacture their own fuel. It has not materialized it, for whatever reason.
I had exactly the same prejudice. "Shoot robot dinos with a bow and arrow" doesn't sound like a premise that could possibly have a decent underlying story, but they actually pulled it off.
Same. Bought a 3 at the beginning of August. Is it perfect? No. Is it the best driving experience I've ever had? Bar none. I sometimes take it out just to drive in the evenings. I plug it into my house and have a full tank every day. The power on demand is incredible. Is there room for improvement? Yes. Do I feel like I overpaid? Not in the slightest. My last new car was a Mazda 3 and I feel as though the 5k difference in cost is negligible to the gas savings.

In an area producing oil, if you don't use the methane for something like this power plant, then it will be burned off as waste at the well. I'm not advocating for the power plant but rather pointing out that methane itself is a byproduct you've got to deal with. And clearly the plant should be burning the methane instead of leaking it. As green energy becomes more and more feasible, I think the answer to a problem like this will be to lower the quantity of oil being produced so there's less waste methane to deal with.

Pizzly is something that we initially built within my company to increase the automation of our customer-facing API integrations (e.g. sending Slack notifications, picking a spreadsheet, etc).

The main benefit it provides is to keep the codebase free from API specificities. For example, the authentication part is totally handled within Pizzly. That way, our engineering team was focused on using the data and the code was not cluttered. Also, it appeared that engineers were keener to build integrations using Pizzly.

It was recently open-sourced and I'm now actively contributing to it and welcome new contributors.

Here’s a live demo: https://demopizzly.herokuapp.com/ (hosted on Heroku Hobby, so expect some cold start).

Ask HN: What are you using headless Chrome for?
The headless version of chrome has seen great adoption since it was launched 4-5 years ago. I am wondering what types of use cases it is being used for.

Running automated tests is one the most common use cases I am familiar with. Are there any other purposes folks are using it for?

I am also curious about large scale cloud deployments use cases for headless chrome that the HN crowd might be aware of.
Well, yes, but also its very hard (time-consuming, low conviction rate, and expensive to the wrong party - taxpayers) to get jail time for people. It creates a really weird sub-ecosystem of paying to be unaware etc. inside a corporation.

I hear you on the fines, but probably the purest form is to allow deregulation for competition but regulate to protect consumer safety (a balance if you will)
Software Versioning Schemes
That would be the case if a PDF was solely used for print.

In the digital realm though, a PDF should also be accessible to screenreaders for the blind, people with sight problems (increased fonts, contrast), dyslexia, etc. Those already require alternative representations.

And of course nothing bad about having the best of both worlds! A format that is pixel perfect when you want it too, and adaptable for easier reading when you don't.
This is different from Dreamweaver in a lot of ways. It's not like Webflow either, which writes code for you, quite in a verbose way and without real support for lots of niceties, like CSS Variables.

Pinegrow lets you choose a framework or allow you to write code yourself, as you wish. If you choose the latter, it just gives you visual tools to create code that follows the standards.
Sounds like Adobe is trying to add media queries and a dynamic DOM to PDF.

Perhaps they should consider leaving PDF the fuck alone and reiterating to developers that HTML & CSS are the appropriate technologies for producing documents which must reflow based upon viewport dimensions.
Most books I saw were epub and pdf. They say epub is some XML, ok. But I don't see how the number of existing HTML based formats is relevant

Hi Auren,

I've been rereading DaaS 1.0 today. I like 1.0 because it explains so many aspects of DaaS in simple words.

My biggest takeout of 1.0 is about crossing the datasets (data enrichment), and an easy way to give a try of data for your clients.

I'm building my own DaaS startup[1] - B2B API to search through online news articles. And, every month after the launch more and more things from DaaS Bible start to make more sense to me.

The topic that I and our CTO would like to know more around DaaS:

Data agreements while selling our service. What/how can the derivatives be redistributed/republished? Should we always time-bound our data (if the client stops the subscription they must unload it)?

Its just too much of a coincidence to me that at the same time they got acquired by a Bobby Kotick run company they started churning out games that, while not completely terrible, when compared to their older efforts were uninspired, generic trash made by money hungry assholes.

It never felt like something Blizzard would do, it felt like exactly what Activision would do. Maybe too many of the key people had left at that point. It happens to a lot of companies when they get big.

> How do you know that the people knew that the nuisance existed?

Anecdotal, but the HOA I'm living in holds meetings about airport pollution. It's a major airport, that pre-dates these houses. It's almost directly in the flight path. They had to know that an airport... has planes landing and taking off?

It's not even that noisy as there are noise abatement procedures that are pretty effective. But as long as the noise level is above the birds they will complain.

Article is fair and well reasoned. I used to donate a fair amount to WMF multiple times a year, but over the years they have fallen prey to activist editors that have really tainted the value of a lot of articles. I recognize that it's a difficult problem, but last I looked into it it didn't seem that they were doing enough to combat it, and it has really compromised their value.
How to Build a Motion Prediction Model for Autonomous Vehicles

> Wikipedia has helped me so much, it's important to pay back: The WMF has done a reasonable job of stewardship, but I believe that insofar as there inheres a strong moral obligation to pay back, this obligation is to content creators. Donating to the WMF does not reward past content creators.

That's an interesting point, and it got me thinking: what does reward past content creators? As someone who has contributed to and created Wikipedia articles in the past, I tried to imagine what would feel like a reward to me, and the things that come to mind are:

a. People adding to those articles and making them more and more polished, turning them into A-class articles that I'd be proud to have contributed to.

b. Knowing that the article has helped someone in some specific way, changing their life a little bit. Some kind of "thank you" page attached to the articles would be nice, where a school kid could tell you how the article brought the subject to life for her, or a middle aged man could say thanks for informing him about his medical condition. (I can see the practical issues with this, but even a heavily-moderated slowly-updated page would serve the purpose, and would provide positive value.)
> I'd love to do this with my VR game, but it contains at least a dozen thirdparty paid assets

Note that the release doesn't contain any assets. It's buildable in the sense that you can build the binary (and even then it looks like that doesn't actually work quite yet for any random setup).

IME this is common for OSS release of commercial games, generally you have to provide the game assets to get a playable artifact. Though I guess it's more complicated if building the game assets is part of your build pipeline.
Can anyone explain why 5x the energy yields only 16% greater range?
In games there are also production companies, and the studio might stay intact for years but produce their own games, as a stage 1.5 or alternate Stage 2. Most of the musicians who side with the recording industry have followed a similar pattern. They build their own studio (different definition of studio) to greatly increase their slice of the pie.

I think the crux of the argument is that the money is largely not going to improving the product, which is mostly done by volunteer editors and contributors, but it is going to a management class fighting over project funding for new initiatives. This argument may be out of date since they have had a huge management shakeup since it was written, but the criticism that volunteer labour produces the bulk of the value is still worth considering.
If the numbers in these threads are correct (CEO compensation at $2.5m/year, 250 employees laid off) then the entirety of executive compensation would only cover $10k/year of each laid off worker's compensation.

Since when is industrial methane 100% pure as if this is some kind of hospital gas supply. No doubt that methane leak was putting a whole lot of undesirable things into the air people shouldn't be breathing.
> But nope... the fact that the UFO topic is linked to fringe, new age, and wacky stuff means that it can't be discussed and must be absolutely dismissed.

I think it's more that the recent claims about the UFOs (moving at hypersonic speeds but leaving no emissions nor heating the atmosphere) are so implausible that they don't fit our current understanding of physics.
That's an interesting idea -- property rights for PII.

Of the four main IP types we have today, PII is probably most similar to trade secrets. Maybe since companies have rights to their secret information -- we could recognize a 5th type of IP for PII, similar to trade secrets, but for individuals?
Sounds like that is the prevailing opinion amongst software engineers on HN. “If the product doesn’t exist, then the market doesn’t exist” isn’t how biology works.

Good question, I haven't watched the Limiting Factor video posted above yet, but I did find this [1] on Ars Technica:

> For example, in a cylindrical battery, the cathode and anode are wound tightly around one another. In a conventional battery, a "tab" sticks out of each side of this roll—one connecting the coiled cathode sheet to one end of the cell, the other connecting the anode to the opposite end. Tesla says it has pioneered a new "tabless" internal structure that is not only less prone to overheating, but is also easier to manufacture. Eliminating the tabs means there's less need to start and stop the manufacturing process to make sure the tabs are properly positioned in each coil.
