Some relevant arguments-

(1) Telecom provider as a case in point. They provide a fat internet pipe to consumer. But they do not get to bill the application providers (OTT- over-the-top) on a recurring basis.

(2) App marketplace is an interesting and crazy thing. If I subscribed to Netflix through app marketplace, the marketplace does NOT provide me (consumer) any value at all. But if Netflix has to pay 30% to Apple/Google of all the $$ that I pay to Netflix, something is broken in the system from my (consumer) viewpoint.
Use an off-the-shelf database engine, sql or good enough nosql (like esent on windows).

Most file systems also have these properties, optimized for memory locality (because disk seeks were incredibly slow), and you can create files in a folder much faster than O(n).

If interested how they do it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-tree
That is interesting. Ok, then you should follow up with them and ask for how your case is progressing and do a write-up if you do not receive a satisfactory answer.
This is the same that american train robber barons were doing before they were regulated they were stifling the competition in favor of their own products. They say history repeats itself and that is what we are seeing today previously we had train robber barons today we have internet tech robber barons.

I did the lights for a production of R&G, it was one of the few productions I've done where I had to be careful not to get too engorssed or I'd miss a cue. Such a good play.

Artificial scarcity.

It's the only reason why its perceived value is so high in the US, and later gets carried to other foreign markets (like China). Apple is this single entity that creates these products that run this unique OS alone, while Android manufacturers are a dime a dozen - too visible. If I don't get the latest Samsung, I don't mind because I'll just go ahead and buy the latest OnePlus or Huawei or something. But I have nowhere to go if Apple stores run out of the iPhone, and if I'm really bought into the whole design oo-la-lah shtick, I'll just camp outside the Apple store (aside: I have seen fewer campers with each passing year).

Ferrari is a luxury product because every engine made is a machining masterpiece largely created by hand. Most and Chandon is a luxury product because it takes a good year and tons of time to perfect that taste. Apple fans may have had something to boast about with the design quality during the Steve Jobs years, but right now, there's little to boast about their mass-produced devices made by underpaid workers in a Chinese/Vietnamese/Indian factory, so they generate artificial oomph over things like the fonts or the app store or whatever. As a Tesla owner, I've seen the same kind of behavior from other Tesla owners, although I find Tesla to be a relatively flawed product compared to other cars such as a Porsche or an Audi.

Honestly, I suspect that if Jobs were alive right now, he wouldn't be really happy with today's Apple. Out of the nearly a decade since he's passed, the only thing that was really revolutionary on Apple's part were the Airbuds. And with Jony gone, I suspect there's going to be less of that too.
> Battery life isnt great, but do you exercise for more than 24h at a time?

Not the grandparent poster, but Apple Watch battery life is bad enough that going on medium-length hikes (and tracking it as a workout) requires you to pull out a powerbank and then awkwardly slide the charging pad in between your skin and the watch. Ugh.

(I'm still torn on whether I actually like my Watch; I'd definitely prefer a Lightning port to the custom charging pad that's not even reversible.)
You're almost certainly smelling the denaturing agent in the alcohol, the vast majority of commercial sources add something to it, even for "technical" grades.

> Found the millennial? The knob design is the much older one as it's purely analog.

Modern microwave knobs are not properly analog. They are so infuriating - an analog control fiddling with a discrete setting. As you turn the knob, it will occasionally (with no haptic feedback) tick over to the next discrete value.
I highly doubt this is the future of garbage collection, because it involves massive infrastructure investment that only pays itself in decades. This is not how local politics and budgeting operates. (source: I'm a district councilor in a large European capital)

By the time these system are deployed, we may as well have ubiquitous autonomous vehicles. In that scenario, instead of having large garbage trucks with people hauling the bins around, buildings could be retrofitted with autonomous garbage ports served by a fleet of small automated vehicles. The sorting would be done on site by the building and then the right vehicle stops by and picks up say recyclables when the on-site storage reaches the limit.

So from the users' perspective, you have the same pneumatic tube, sorting, incentivizing payment system etc. as discussed in the article. But the capital investments are much smaller, any building can install the automated chute and the system could use the existing road network without digging up thousands of miles of street.
Yeah, SSG build times are certainly an issue in my experience, even for smallish sites. I quite like the incremental regeneration idea in NextJS: https://nextjs.org/blog/next-9-5#stable-incremental-static-r... - sounds like it will rerender pages in the background as traffic comes in to them, while serving a stale version to the original request. I guess there are times when this might not be acceptable though... in which case really you just want to be able to rerender the subset of pages a given change affects, but this isn’t always easy to work out.
As I understand it (not a physicist), according to GR the Einstein field equations equate the curvature of spacetime to the stress-energy tensor, of which mass is just one component. Photons, having energy, should produce a gravitational field.
Well LXD, Docker and k8s have a lot of overlap in functionality and features, so it’s just disingenuous to say otherwise.

For over 90% of startups Docker with k8s is just not necessary and tie them to managed version of specific vendor or cloud provider with higher costs and a lot of overheads. It’s pretty hard for a startup to manage self hosted k8s, given large number of moving parts and management of k8s infrastructure is as big as a task of managing the startup product itself.

LXD is decent enough to build a good high available horizontally scalable cluster on cloud of your choice or bare metal and can be managed by startup teams. Obviously once the startup begins to reach millions of customers and users and have enough revenue than k8s might be viable.

In majority of the projects LXD provides much better infrastructure.
Finding an apartment can be very hard though, depending on what city. One should be prepared to sublet on short-time contracts. Otherwise Sweden is quite good. The weather sucks though :)
Have you tried to experiment with 802.11s and mesh networks to remove some of these Ethernet cables by any chance? I'm looking into some "advanced" router features these days, and I was surprised that there is a standard for this, although it seems badly supported. That would seem like a good option for a more flexible (in terms of networking) cluster if the nodes are that close to each other that wireless networking shortcomings aren't much of an issue.

Of course that's only the theory...
Nokia failed for the same reason BlackBerry did - they never were able to make the leap to the new market.

Nokia was optimized for another field entirely, it's rare that companies can pivot.

The issues you highlight are side effects of that.
Show HN: Visualisation of Co-Occurring Pokemon Types with Rust
If an advert doesn't do a detailed comparison with other products then it's trying to convince you by manipulation, not presenting you information and relying on your agency.

A short version of this would be any product information media output that doesn't detail a products principle flaws is manipulation intended to sidestep your agency.

When did you last see a fizzy drinks (pop, soda) advert that said "tap water is better for you and cheaper but our brand advertising is supposed to associate drinking our drinks with being cool, so choose to avail yourself of our continued widescale brainwashing of your society to help you feel socially superior" or "we make sure our batteries mtbf is 2.5 years, with a narrow sd so that it needs replacing just after the warranty period expires; the battery though, it's glued in - clever eh!".

The central tenet of market capitalisms optimisation relies on consumers having perfect information and operating on that information. Advertising, the ads I've ever seen, are a direct effort at circumvention of that.

Yes, people still have some agency, otherwise ads wouldn't be needed. But ads purpose is to erode that agency.

Your post sounds like the attempted justification of someone who uses advertising?
I don't see that working for packaging. Half of the food is filled with or submerged in water, and for the rest, as well as non-food items, the packaging would start decomposing in the ambient air because of the water vapor.
Homer was not one person. It's probably an archetype representing several (or many) ancient Greek bards singing heroic epics from village to village for several centuries, until it was written down. The interesting part about the writing down is was that it was a well paid, large scale, effort sponsored by the city state of Athens. A sort of highly important, and well funded, state propaganda of the time. So, if it were for people working for the sole motive of good writing, we wouldn't even know that these epics existed, since they would have been long forgotten, just as many other oral folk epics around the world.
If you are a developer or related to IT area, in Costa Rica though is a third-world country life is descent (I'm Venezuelan living in CR), look for opportunities in LinkedIn (where most of the job market here is), there are companies that sponsor work visa and your family can come too (mine is here). Also (not necessarily related to your question) Costa Rica announced they started working on a law to have "digital nomads" work here for a "long" period of time

You can have nice autocomplete in hangouts that returns name and picture when you give it incomplete email. It also returns so called google id, which links all of your data. Instead of running this set of weird scripts you can open hangouts in browser, click "New Converstation" and start typing emails, then look in dev tools.

Then it just opens https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/+person id and there are your reviews on google map with locations obviously.

Then it tries to fetch your public albums from google photos using same technique, but that does not work anymore. When it did work, it extracted meta info from public albums. That's pretty much it.

I never tried Gatsby, but I tried Hugo. I like Go, so I searched for a Hugo-template I liked and build some documentation for my project. Then I took a break from the project and when I wanted to update the documentation a few months later (minor changes), I spend about 2 days just bringing my content in sync with the updated template. What a horrible experience.

Maybe I was doing something wrong or the template author, but actually I am thinking about my best options currently, because I am 100% sure, I don't want to go through that mess again. Even building plain HTML pages by hand would have been a lot easier for me than finding out why the updated template didn't compile anymore.
I'm a participant with 2 PRs merged so far. I totally support the opt-in mode, but at the same time discouraged from continuing further (contributing to repos with the hacktoberfest topic, not open source in general).

1. I think the opt-in should have been there at the start. Repo maintainers should have been informed, and given ample time to decide if they want to participate or not, so that participants are likely to have a wider range of repos to choose from. From the organiser's POV, it will help them to measure the impact of this event on open source events. However, this doesn't seem to be planned at the start (didn't happen in the past years either?) The explanation I can think of is that either they didn't have a nice talk with GitHub to get their support, or like many ppl have said, it's more of a publicity stunt.

2. It could have been done with better communication. If not for this HN thread, I wouldn't have known the change in rules. No email sent. Even the official website still has rule sections that say any public repo will work.

3. I'm discouraged to participate further. I do love the t-shirt. I'd be lying to say that I wasn't motivated by the shirt from the start. I also wanted to beat the crowd by making PRs early by sacrificing my time for other hobbies/work. However, I made PRs that are welcomed and the maintainers were happy to merge. But now I feel the shirt will only bring me the suspicion and disgrace of potentially being a spammer.

4. I don't have many choices of repo to contribute now. In the hacktoberfest topic, there's 0 repo in my preferred language. The first repo I see with the highest number of stars is some algo repo. The 2 repos I've contributed and likely to contribute again are not qualifies anymore.

There are still good things from my experience. I have made PRs before, but I'm not actively contributing. I'd rather spend my free time on other hobbies. But now, I do see that I can find joy in open source. I'm likely to contribute to repos that interest me again in the future.
> No, hypokalemia causes your heart to stop beating. If it just caused heart disease he wouldn't be dead after a month.

No, it causes arrhythmia and high blood pressure, heart disease which may have consequences like sudden cardiac death.

> Are you arguing someone will have an appetite for licorice and keep eating a lot even if it doesn't taste good? Or the opposite? I'm not following the scenario.

I agree that you are not following. I am saying that appetite is not the same as taste.

> Because noticing a single symptom, with no idea of the cause, doesn't stop you from dying. Even if you make a doctor appointment it could be too late.

Hypokalemia is rarely fatal because the symptoms are obviously alarming

> And I misunderstood for a good reason, because this conversation started with someone joking that they "knew" licorice was poisonous because it tasted bad.

Yes, which I responded to by saying that many benign and essential substances are poisonous in the right volume.

> And I was talking about how that actually happens with overdoses of salt and water, but doesn't happen with licorice.

Which you've failed to substantiate.

> So I interpreted the "feels" sentence in the way that had A) relevance to taste and B) actually disagreed with what I was saying, since you started your reply with "Bollocks".

So you misunderstood my argument.

> The way you're now telling me to interpret that sentence means that your second paragraph in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24602628 has no actual connection to anything I said in the comment you were replying to. I hadn't said anything about feeling symptoms.

Exactly, which is why I brought it up, because it's another regulator of consumption that healthy people won't ignore. You can't in good faith argue that it is only now that you understand that, because you've accepted that as the premise of my argument throughout our discussion, however confusing it with the notion that people have "inbuilt licorice systems".
this press release is hilariously BAD
>The crux of this matter is that end consumers generally do not care about the 30% cut, It’s a retail cut they’re used to from other platforms like Sony PlayStation, or Ticketmaster for concert tickets.

I think by inadvertently comparing them to ticketmaster (whom consumers actively loathe) you've inadvertently demonstrated just how much consumers do care.

Consumers just aren't necessarily able to understand the underlying market mechanism that gives rise to the shittiness they experience.
You can't build any system and not run memtest86 all night on it. If you get errors, lower the speed and try again. Or just run JEDEC. My 2700X with 3200MHz RAM will only complete a full 4 loops of memtest at 2933.
Might just be my experience but the sitting room usually never gets used / is too cold and eventually gets converted in to a storage room.
To whom?
Users want their non-malicious apps / non-fake tickets.
Sellers want to sell their apps / tickets.

The service doesn't seem that complex. Executing the service well may very well be complex, but the service itself isn't.
You misunderstood what I meant. I did not say that there are no high quality tech topic videos coming from India, I am sure there are as I have watched a few myself. What I said was that there is a lot of low quality content and I was wondering if the reasons for that were related to what the parent mentioned.
Germany's been an outlier for many IT things. IIRC the Psion PDAs and the ARM (that is, the original computer, running RiscOS, not its CPU) were vastly more popular in Germany than in the other big countries.

Maybe you could say, as a rule of thumb, that if engineers tend to like a particular IT product, then that product will be more popular in Germany than in the other big countries.
> I would even take it a step further and allow maintainers the ability to cherry pick certain issues they'd like to put up for hacktober.

At least for Prometheus the ones we tagged with hacktoberfest are ones we'd expect a new developer to have a good chance to be able to complete.

I don't think we should be disincentive people who attempt to instead tackle more thorny issues.
What was the actual issue it did not compile and what was resolve?
Very true. same.
It's more like the haystack got smaller but we still don't know where the haystack is. The unknown unknowns got even harder to touch. This is all a good thing.
Mass is converted to energy by every chemical reaction! Say you have a mixture of rust and aluminium powder, which you ignite (the thermite reaction). It results in iron, aluminium oxide and heat. The resulting matter will weigh a tiny bit less, by exactly the energy produced divided by c^2
Dunno, but I'm going to take a stab in the dark at the possible incentive structure:

(1) No amateur is especially proud of setting up a static site, because it either seems easy as expected or it wasn't easy and they don't feel like trumpeting that.

(2) Professional web developers went into web development because they like featureful JavaScript, so they don't really see the appeal of static sites.

(3) Some big % of professional designers went into design because they wanted to design complex user experiences, and so they push for things that require JavaScript.

(4) Website owners like metrics, so they want a bunch of JavaScript to track user engagement and whatnot.

I have seen good results from Hugo. It is easy and typically works. Good for a small business website.
Just have to breathe a lot :)
I like Australia's system better. You pay a very minor tax yearly regardless of tv ownership and it funds a few government run TV channels and radio stations as well as a news site. Despite the current governments best efforts, the ABC is still the only worthwhile news site in the country.
> Whenever you go and read a book from your library, you librarian doesn't keep a profile of who you are and judges your value based on what books you read.

Are you sure about that? If you're not in a super-large library with full anonymity, your librarians will definitely know when you're reading a lot of books that suggest some ideology. They may not keep a profile written down, but they definitely will remember. And they do keep a list of books you took home, at least our local library does.

Regarding new ideas: might be different in other places of the world, but public libraries over here aren't that well stocked and feel like they primarily offer what the librarians value (which will largely mirror the mainstream opinion of the general population, as they're state employees). That's different for university libraries, which do keep a more diverse collection.

That doesn't feel right. Looking at the typical household production, I see (after separating out metals) mostly plastics, wood, paper, and various oils. This should all burn nicely and have high caloric value.

Agreed on the toxic combustion products, though.
Love my Watch S4 - I can stay connected without the distraction of all the phone’s apps.

I would like the watch to become the main device, with the “pocketable big screen” relegated to an optional map, camera and web browser satellite-type device rather than vice versa.
I would expect a "Referer" value to be empty in both cases:

- directly navigating to a URL after doing a copy-paste
- opening a link from an email
Very very much so.

Wes Bos released his 'Master Gatsby' course a few days ago: https://mastergatsby.com/
> approximately 0% of the engineering team knows Ruby

I found this surprising. I once worked somewhere that used Sentry heavily (liked it a great deal, it was pretty important to us). We had about a hundred projects and were encountering quota problems, the worst of which were usually from misbehaving queue workers on staging or perf the would consume our entire event budget if left unchecked. If we didn't shut it off in time we'd end up losing meaningful prod events.

Our solution was to switch to a YAML based config for rate limits and per project quotas. This would ensure every project was capped, central prod services were allocated more events like they deserved, etc. Sentry staff sent us a helpful starter script for utilizing their project configuration REST API. It was written in Ruby.
