Yep, probably wrong.

There's a truism in architecture: "Buildings are built for people." Not to be works of art or cultural enhancements, but to serve a need.

I think it applies here, too. A home is one of the most personal possessions anyone can own. Although you can make arguments all day long about efficiencies in design and mass production, I think just about everyone in the world who owns a home would much rather have one designed to fit them and their purpose, not one made from large scale standard parts.

I say this as someone who has a number of unusual things desired in a home, and who has had a lot of difficulty deviating from "standards" for home use. The efficiency benefit of standardization is also a standardized jail for people who want to do something different.

There's a place in the market for cookie cutter homes if costs must be reduced to minimum or construction time must be minimized, but in pretty much every other instance, people want the opposite of what this company is selling.
I also live in Ontario (Toronto) and was struck by how practically 0 of police I've seen here over the last few months have been wearing masks – even when they came doorknocking in my neighborhood about a theft that happened on the street. They had the ability to look up things like this, but I bet they weren't even taking the precautions when they had that data.

Agreed, I can navigate to anywhere in my town without an issue, I haven't used a GPS to navigate within town in years (basically, since I moved here). When I first moved here I used GPS to get around because I moved here by myself and had never been here before. If I "wasn't learning" when using the GPS then I'd still need it to get around, but I found I only really needed it for a week or so.

Of course, many people use GPS when they don't care about learning how to get somewhere, they just wanna get there, thus the use case is different.
It doesn't forget my fingers, but it won't let me in if my hands are very damp (like after a shower). Though I do get some sour grapes out of the fact that it's not a bad idea to force me to enter my PIN once in a while, so I don't forget.

I think it depends on how each person values their time, and how much they like/hate keeping up with that kind of stuff.

I can confidently say that I'd come out ahead by working (billing to a client) the time I would otherwise spend wrangling all my rewards programs, but not everybody has the option to just work another hour whenever they want.

Also I'm much better at my job than I am at wrangling rewards points so I generally get more satisfaction from it.
It really is sad that most schools have discontinued these programs. I have a cousin who makes knives. When I visited his shop in Ohio last year, he commented that a lot of the workbenches and tools that he had in his shop were bought at auctions from schools getting rid of their shop programs. It’s a shame.
Does anybody know of any papers about attacking coinjoins? From what I understand Wasabi + TOR is still the gold standard of Bitcoin mixing.

Fair point, add a QR code tag to the cable that contains the specs. The general point here is that the industry could, and should, be doing something to address consumer confusion.
BTV | Venture capital analyst/associate | San Francisco | Full time

We're looking for someone to help us build BTV, a $75m VC fund investing in the best seed stage fintech companies globally.

We are both entrepreneurs at heart, and like working with entrepreneurial folks... We invest in the best people, both founders that we back and our own team. We think of BTV as a startup that writes checks instead of code.

So we're looking for someone young (0-4 years experience) and hungry to join our team. Looking for someone who is sharp, curious, ambitious, and entrepreneurial. The candidate may want to start her own company in the future or go into VC long-term. It's a fast-paced game these days, so someone hungry and scrappy with a chip on her shoulder is our type of candidate.

Not afraid to ask challenging questions, gets to the root of problems, can think critically, detail-oriented, etc. Someone we can give a high level task and she'll just figure out the best way to do it, and get it done, or tell us we're stupid and we should be doing something else entirely.

We're just getting started, but have a skeletal website up at http://btv.vc

If you're interested - please send an application via this form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScoUZd3Uqz5wwzIb_uV...
This should read “GDPR lack of enforcement tracker”.

I see no major fines for neither Google nor Facebook (the latter was only fined once on a technicality that has nothing to do with their tracking efforts).
I disagree. She's young, I hope this exam going wrong really is the absolutely worst thing that's happened to her so far.

And considering the 10's of thousands of pounds/dollars of debt students are routinely getting into, and considering how highly fought collage, university and job placements are at the moment, I think she's got every right to be broken. Depending on the exam it has the potential to put back her education, career and earning prospects by years.

Do I think any of this is actually right - well no; but it does seem to be the current reality.
From my research a few years ago, this is caused by the Switch asking the charger for 20V, but it actually expects 15V. The Nintendo charger obeys this hidden rule, but any other charger will happily provide 20V. I think the difference between a 20V and 15V charge isn't significant enough to blow the Switch up the first time you use it, but, over time it will blow up.
Interestingly in the UK, Nintendo _explicitly_ label it as a USB-C port. I'm not sure if they do or not elsewhere, but they definitely claim it's a USB-C port 'for AC charging' over here.

ScaleXP | Frontend Engineer | London, REMOTE | Full Time | https://www.scalexp.com/

ScaleXP is an early stage startup, focused on providing data driven, easily accessible insights to accelerate growth of early to mid stage startups. We’re combining data from a variety of financial and CRM platforms amongst others to spot patterns and anomalies that would otherwise be lost in spreadsheets.

We’re looking to hire a frontend engineer to help come up with new ways to view this data, building out visualisations, analytics tooling and representations that help drive decision making. We’re specifically looking for someone with experience developing web app, preferably with React and Typescript.

For more details, please email harry@scalexp.com
> That was my initial take, especially given Gruber’s consistently pro-Apple stance, but I think it’s intended as the exact opposite.

I could agree if not for the sentences that precede the one I quoted:

> This is nonsense. Apple is not cheap. A miserly penny-wise/pound-foolish company does not design and build architectural marvels like this new store in Singapore.

I see those comments as unambiguous praise. The line on spending lavishly follows right after, in the same paragraph.

Gruber tends to link to his older posts when making a reference. He didn’t in this case, which makes me think he meant it as he wrote it.
Perhaps this would align everyone's incentives:

- Only honor PRs against repositories that have opted-in

- Only allow repositories that meet certain "notability" criteria to opt-in (to prevent the creation of "fake" repositories)

- Only honor PRs that are merged within a specified time-period

- If DO has the resources, volunteer some folks to filter/close spammy PRs on the participating repos

I maintain several open-source projects, and the spam would annoy me. That said, if the constraints above were applied to Hacktoberfest, I would opt-in my own projects. I think these constraints would do a reasonable job of disincentivizing people opening spammy PRs (because I simply wouldn't merge them), while bringing my projects to the attention of developers that are looking to make a contribution to open-source in good faith.
Email to hn@ycombinator.com is more effective. I've done so.
The only reason the second page loads slower is because the user hasn't downloaded all the things they need to display it yet - in other words, you're suggesting downloading unused data on the first page in order to make the second page load faster. I'd argue that's not optimal because what you're gaining on the second page you're losing on the first page.

Also you always have to remember that users won't necessarily hit the homepage first. If they click a link from a search or a social media post they might end up on any page in the site. Everything that you do to optimize the homepage should be done for every page. You end up with cacheable assets that are shared between pages and everything else is only downloaded when the user hits a page that actually needs it. That's the way to a fast site.

With HTTP2 request parallelisation having lots of small files is not a bad thing. You can also add prefetch headers for big things like fonts. There's lots of ways to make sites load better.

This is also my experience. Quest, iPad, MacBook, headphones etc can all mostly use the same chargers. Really all I need to track is that the MacBook needs a thicker cable and this pretty much solves any compatibility issues.
