The first thing I noticed when I moved to Portugal, after spending a few years in the US, was that nobody was afraid.
Home mortgages are typically measured in decades; 1, 3 and 5-year experiments don't really cut it for what I'd consider long-term planning.
1) Do a calc of hours worked by everyone in the past

2) Split proportionately amongst those hours

3) Apply a wage rate to those hours depending on the job involved

4) Adjust the wage rate so earlier is higher (more risk), later is lower (as the business started working)

Use that as the equity split going forward that you have to still work to vest.

Using a mechanical way to attribute effort everyone can acknowledge is extremely important. The area you'll really have disagreement on is the wage rate to apply & how much premium to apply for an earlier vs late joiner. But those are easier conversations.
Here's the exact quote from you:

> The only one attacking strangers online is the marketer who feels entitled to my data without my consent.

Ok, so you didn't directly say I spam. But you are a lawyer. You know that you can't gather peoples email data without their consent. Doing so is against the can spam act. Saying I feel 'entitled to non consensual data gather' has a connotation and innuendo that I am doing that.

So either I'm a compliant mailer, and therefore I have consent, or I act as an 'entitled to your data without consent' spammer. The law is pretty clear on this, at least I've had a good half dozen attorneys tell me so.

When I proved that I'm a mailer and not a spammer, you moved the goal posts from 'consent' to 'informed consent'.

Moving goal posts is a weasel thing to do. Ultimately I'm probably just talking to a troll, few people have such low levels of self-awareness that they will lecture others on morality while insinuating lies, moving goalposts and playing disingenuous games.
I'm curious, in your experience what is the delay between: knowing there's a need for a response - knowing where the individual is - getting someone on scene? I'm not familiar with mtn rescue so I'm not sure how long it takes vertical surface teams to get into place once the survivor has been located. I'm sure there are times where a vertical surface rescue will be required, but it takes a long time for the team to get positioned. In a situation like that, is it a significant gain to get a medic to that person even if it will be hours before they can get extracted?
This kind of walled garden in the 80s led to apple losing ground to microsoft and a chant for developers, developers, developers.

Microsoft was forced to provide options for multibrowsers and limit it's paint application from competing with photo editing software.

All of your problems are solved with opt-in to secondary app sources. If you want the apple approved walled garden, don't install the alternative and retain all the benefits of percieved security.

What's wrong with letting people install a different app store, and apps? Was firefox worse than internet explorer?

How many people did you know in school who were there for the education? Everyone I knew in my engineering program was there for the degree to get a good job, only 1 or 2 people I ever met genuinely wanted to understand the material, and it was kind of strange upon first realizing that. This was in a top state university.
Yes real data, but also real controls. Day to day it should do a partial charge, like 90-95% of most cells. There should also be a 'road trip' or similar charge mode that intentionally goes to 100% full charge on everything in concurrence with planning to actually drive for a long distance that might need the full capacity. It should be made more clear that this road trip mode spends battery life.
Thank you, that is a really good distinction.
I don't give it a second thought with respect to the work I do. On the other hand, it seems odd to me that we burn up a city's worth of CO2 to support bitcoin.
Bloody hell, I hope this is satire.
You can get quite deep this way.

Generative models map well to programming concepts. Mixtures are quite similar to composition, and hierarchical models can be understood as inheritance. Lots of classical models like HMM, LDA, etc are quite similar to those presented in the GoF book in the sense they combine composition and inheritance in some particularly interesting manner.
Anyone willing to “trade” customer discovery interviews?
Finding customer discovery interviews has been a bit of a challenge for me lately and I was wondering if we might be willing to swap user interviews with each other. In other words, I'll be a prospective customer and vice versa?

An example of a question I'd ask is: Tell me about the last time you sought out user interviews for customer discovery?

Super easy if you have homing indicators on the keys (F and J on QWERTY layouts) like you would on other keyboards, only slightly more difficult if you don’t.
Your calculations are correct, but you've baked a few other assumptions into them.

- Fuel has no structural strength. Batteries are rigid and can double as parts of the airframe, saving weight.

- Combustion engines are complex and expensive. This precludes mounting a dozen tiny engines on a plane and integrating them at just the right spots. Electric fans are cheaper and easier to integrate into the airframe, reducing drag. This also helps with engine-out capability. If you have two engines and one fails, you've lost half your thrust. If you have 36 engines and one fails, you've lost 3% of your thrust.

- Air becomes less dense with altitude. This reduces drag, but it also reduces the power of combustion engines. Electric aircraft don't need oxygen, so their power remains the same at altitude. There are losses due to the fan having to rotate more to move the same mass of air, but in general, electric aircraft become more efficient at altitude.

- Electric fans respond much faster to throttle inputs and are easier to gimbal than combustion propellors or jets. This allows designs with reduced or even eliminated control surfaces. The lack of rudder and elevator reduces drag, allowing for greater range.

That last trick might sound insane for human-rated aircraft, but there are already flying prototypes that use this approach.[1][2]

Stock trades still cost $10-15 in most of the world. It onyl affects HFT below a certain threshold. That is, only trades of substantial gain or volume make sense to operate on.
The supersonic implosion approach was shown to be unworkable for at least two reasons (the shock wave hitting the pusher/gas boundary broke into a forest of jets due to the Richtmeyer-Meshkov instability, and the currents in the surface of that pusher [ignoring the instability] would have been so high the push surface would have been vaporized, contaminating the plasma.)

So they changed to a subsonic approach, and also moved to a spherical tokamak arrangement. This means the target now has a solid conductor running down the central axis, and this conductor would be exposed to utterly hellish levels of neutrons (orders of magnitude worse than conventional fusion reactors) as well as forces from 100T magnetic fields. I have no confidence this could be made to work, even for a single shot. Also, in subsonic implosion, there is pressure equilibrium in the pusher, so the outside of the chamber feels the same extreme pressure as the inside. 100T gives a pressure several times that of the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

No. This lawsuit would have been thrown out in 2008 or 2009. Size and market power matter. Apple has over 50% of the US smartphone market and most of the smartphone software revenue.

There are over 2 millions apps in the App Store. That's a gigantic market. Game consoles only have ~2000 titles. App Store isn't a "garden", that vastly understates its extent. Apple has dictatorial control over literally millions of third-party products. That's dangerous.
How to use basic HTML to make a phone number a clickable link on smartphones
I could see doing this with my kid, and I like the format (except for the LinkedIn thing, of course), but it's not nearly complete enough.

It's a few basic steps, and then I run out.

But I like that it's step-by-step, and things we could actually do. It doesn't have black holes.

And it's quick. It's not a 500 page devops manual.

And it's rapid return. You do it, and you see something happen.

All of that is nice.

Now, if it did servos, got to audio, and things like that, it'd be the next big step.

Well, I thought it was just the crappy reservation school that miseducated me, but I guess we both get to blame government classification for tradition and economics.

No, fish are insects.
I don't remember the last time I installed a GUI desktop application.

I think it might have been Zoom a couple years ago. If I install a desktop application that isn't some command line utility, it's a big deal, like a new girlfriend, feels like a committment. It better be a real appliance that actually requires access to hardware and would need to stay open most of the day.

I struggle to think of the audience for these kinds of concerns about "desktop GUI". If the customer is enterprise, government, etc., then they will want WinForms/C# or Java/Swing and you simply don't get to pick Rust, Go, etc.

If you just need a user interface, GUI nowadays means web or mobile (ideally SwiftUI).

Let's face it, in 10 years, there aren't going to be many people using desktops. The people that will be using desktops (like me) probably will be fine with and prefer curses interfaces that run in a terminal emulator. There you go, that's your cross-platform GUI.
DevTools is the killer feature.

I've developed a Gtk GUI in Rust recently. It wasn't bad, but I probably won't use it ever again. When I'm debugging a UI, I want to right-click it, select Inspect, and be able to tweak everything live.

DevTools is such a force multiplier, that I'm confident I can quickly and reliably develop a whole GUI from scratch, with custom layout animations and bells and whistles using JS+CSS. I have zero confidence in doing anything in Gtk or Cocoa beyond dumping static pre-built controls in a window. The cycle of editing blindly, recompiling, and re-running is the old paradigm that I don't want to return to.
Quality not being as high mostly means that you have to bump up the bitrate. For local recording it'll produce larger files and for streaming it'll require a better connection (if the streaming site allows higher bitrate). That still makes it very much usable though.
I'd be happy to give you a 10 minute-of-effort review your product if you want, as long as it doesn't require installation or payment.
This is tautology.

I didn't see the details but it looks like both ITER and Sparc are both Tokamaks performing D-T fusion.

And in fact, it looks like Sparc is more of an exercise in making fusion reactors cheaper, most notably by using different magnets.
ITER is more about validating the concepts, with no regard for the price. Besides the fusion itself, ITER will study how to inject fuel and evacuate the waste products as it is running. They will also tackle the problem of producing the large quantities of tritium a fusion plant requires.

So, my understanding is that Sparc is not intended to make ITER obsolete, but instead tackle a different problem. If commercial fusion reactors happen one day, I expect they will have a bit of both.
Is going to college the cause of someone earning more? Or is the type of person that goes to college someone who inherently will earn more money regardless of the education level they receive? Seems to me if you took Harvard students (and not the legacy/donor admits) and had them stop at a high school education, they'd still do way better than other non-college graduates.
Economic mobility doesn't measure relative financial position either. Economic mobility only indicates position relative to a (highly variable) income distribution within a country. A "high" income mobility does not imply high relative changes in financial position, nor vice versa.

At the extreme, very small differences in relative income can make you "highly mobile" even though you've barely moved your relative financial position. This is seen in smaller industrialized countries with very compressed wage distributions. People in low mobility countries can have better financial outcomes in both relative and absolute terms depending on the mathematical distribution function, and do in practice.

The term "economic mobility" is widely used to push misleading narratives precisely because most people don't understand what it measures.

Telephone anxiety is easy to create.

Take a kid, who has a phone, and a peer group with elaborate customs around using it, which include never, ever calling someone without texting first. Maybe your best friend and main squeeze, as a special privilege.

Then the parent insists the child pick up the phone whenever they call. Also, there are spam calls, and the occasional genuine emergency.

Presto, the phone ringing is automatically Bad News, and as the child grows to adulthood, they associate phone calls with trouble, and subconsciously feel like an aggressive, bad person, if they have to make one.

The moderation here is very good, but I think cultural self-selection is a big factor too. Speaking broadly, it attracts technical, logical people who share values and standards around reasoned debate. I don't see that part scaling to society at large.
Does anyone have suggestions for running OBS in the cloud?

I have a project that is designed to run 24/7 and it would be really nice if I could use a cloud server instead of a computer on my home network.

I have it all set up... OBS in Docker with k8s templates. Just need to find an affordable online option.
Given the nature of people to be reactive and vaccine skeptics, do you think antibody cocktails will be more practical than vaccines?
That is really tough. I don't have an answer, but you might enjoy these loose thoughts.

In the annals of technocracy, people can't stand politics anymore and so they send their toasters and refrigerators to do all that.
These appliances can not be bought and become capable politicians. Machines pay taxes and the hirachy of ownership, human owns machine, is still clear but the dominance hirachy becomes more and more unclear.

Here the toaster can become the president, but he is still send away from his human who could be on the lower end of society. Of course every human is on welfare paid by the machines and everyone is happy in the technocratic society, until the human machine integration takes of and existenz becomes an inconceivable horror.

So the owner of the machine has to be responsible of the machine or the technocracy goes rogue and enslaves humanity. Then owning or instructing the enslaver device can be made illegal. Even if your toaster decides to enslave humanity, you will have to answer for it, even if you don't care or never bothered with it. You willingly gave it your political powers and it operates in your absence on your behalf. Not even death can eliviate you from this responsibility and with machine integration death isn't even an option anymore.

But we missed our chance of Technocracy and powered unhinged through all industrial revolutions.
Machines don't have to pay taxes for their labor, but they have become employers already.
We lost the ability to pin this on the owner. All liability is transfered to the user and nobody owns the company or the machine anymore.

The user agrees to the conditions and takes over all liability.

So by agreeing to use the enslaver you will enslave yourself. If this is forbidden by law, you are breaking that particular law.

I don't see a way around it.

* When someone is sharing their screen, why do I only get to see either their face or the screen, not both?

* Why can't I tell whether people are present/engaged when their video is off?

* Why can people be moved into breakout rooms only through a tedious and complex procedure, and why can it only be done by the host?

* Why can't I emoji-react to what someone is saying?

* Why can't I quickly answer a poll or join a team?
OBS supports hardware encoding ironically on Intel integrated graphics, but doesn't on discrete graphics. So a much better graphics chipset in a macbook is likely to be a hinderance for this.

Except Epic's theory of the case is not that Apple has a monopoly over smartphones, rather they have a monopoly over distribution of apps on iOS devices. Which would have been true back in 2008 or 2009 as well. If Epic wins their case based on the reasoning they have presented to the court, the same reasoning will apply to all "walled garden" hardware.
I never said anything about spamming. I’ve been talking about informed consent from the beginning. The only one moving the goalposts is you.

This reactor prototype has gotten private investment, because it is both comparatively affordable (hundreds of millions instead of tens of billions of dollars) and it will likely be profitable to license the technology to commercial plant operators. It is unlikely that commercial reactors would require public funding.

Decommissioning costs should be negligible because the reactors won't generate radioactive fission byproducts. The reactor chamber is designed for a 10 year lifespan and easy replacement. The old chamber is slightly radioactive (due to neutron bombardment) for a few decades, which is much less of a problem than the highly radioactive waste from fission plants that has to be stored for thousands of years.
The point is that what applies to Epic applies to all the other apps on iOS too. What applies to consoles applies to everything on consoles, but you don't need a console. You do need a phone.

The US hasn't collapsed. If it collapsed, something could rise from the ashes. The US has developed major weaknesses like fault lines, to to speak, and a collapse event, like an earthquake, has an elevated probability of happening, a prediction horizon, but the event still has to happen.

The US has major weaknesses like high health care cost, aged infrastructure, no social safety nets to speak of, radically unequal wealth distribution, and erosion of democracy from lobbying and cash in politics, BUT it has not collapsed. However, all of these things raise the probability of collapse dramatically.

Of course, it has changed from its height, a lot of it for the worse, but a change isn't a collapse. A collapse is a collapse.
Ask HN: Can I do cybersecurity using only iOS?
I’m a Freshman pre-Computer Science Major, and I’m interested in learning about cybersecurity and web hacking. My only device is an IPad Pro, which I use for pretty much everything (schoolwork, programming projects etc). However, I’ve noticed that a lot of web-development and cybersecurity tools don’t seem to be available for iOS (e.g. “inspect element” functionality in most browsers, Burp Suite, etc).

Is it feasible to learn about cybersecurity and hacking using only my IPad? Or will I need to buy a laptop at some point?
