Nice! I didn't realize they were so widely distributed. From my childhood, I only remember the Star Wars (with incisions) and Pokémon (without) series. There may have been others in Poland after these two, but I've stopped paying attention by then - the desire to spend pocket money on collectibles has then shifted to Magic: The Gathering cards in my cohort.
The article did kind of circle around the objective of the work without digging into it. The picture and some of the text (strain test) indicates they are evaluating tensile loads, but it didn't really say if this was intended to increase mechanical performance, reduce weight, reduce concrete used, etc.

I think the point, given the title, is to reduce the volume of concrete that is cured for a given pour by replacing some of it with polymers.

However, I find it difficult for Turing Pi to exploit the PCI-e connectivity.

It's very absurd to break it out for each of them modules to get an independent PCI-e slot. This could raise the layout of the board significantly.

Yet the speed they currently offer (PCI-e x1 Gen2) isn't fast enough for RDMA to effectively "chain" the compute modules.

So I would see that they would have some sacrifice (e.g. fallback to the smaller and more cliche mini-PCIe like most recent fresh IOT boards out there), or even remove PCI-e expansion but offer something else (e.g. embedded SATA host/multi-NICs where only the master node could control, then the rest of the children will have to rely on RDMA, despite it will be slow and painful).

It's not quite economical for Turing Pi to implement NUMA-like architecture so I would rule this out.

Ask HN: How to achieve a six figure salary?
Hi HN Community,

I'm new to this community so, sorry if I repeat a commonly asked question...

I'm a sw dev located in germany. I have a strong background (10y) in embedded development. I consider myself already t-shaped, as I worked in projects using bare metal microcontroller c to embedded linux c++17. My core focus is on Linux/FreeRTOS C++.

As my opening question suggests, I'm currently not earning a six figure salary (annual). But as cost of living rises, I ask myself, how do I achieve this?

Is the only way to start a company? Or what are alternatives? Any besides Moving to SV?

Please any advice is welcome.

Thanks.
This is on my 'todo' list, cause I often have feast/famine cycles. I figure charge cheap for maybe 10 clients till you get good reviews, then bump it up to $70-80/hour. Seems there's lots of devs doing that, and getting clients. But, you need to have a good reputation.

I currently avg $40 for laravel development (Utah) - 8 years experience.

I'd like to be worth more, but I'm not great at selling myself... a decade ago I was making $10 an hour, in SEO / marketing, or $15 delivering pizzas - even though I built websites as a hobby since 1998.

Point being, I always saw myself as low-income, so $40 is like woah..I've arrived! Even though, with bills it really doesn't go that far, and I'd like to double it (maybe by launching a SaaS, if I can't raise my rates organically).
> .. Moving costs > purchase costs

From homefinding TV shows I am aware of some places where selling houses or apartments furnished seems to be a thing. At the other end of things, there are cultures where people take their kitchen cabinets with them. .. I tend to think of more energy-constrained futures, and generational downsizing in terms of housing, so I wonder if the former could spread. Convenience in moving > signalling perfect taste?
I tried to keep the post rather short. Let me know if you have any question!

Looking forward to work even more on open source.

You are making a semantic argument, so let's clear it up.

Gravity is the natural phenomena, or experimental observation, whereby bodies with mass appear to gravitate towards each other. One model and explanation of this phenomena is Newton's Law of Gravity used within the framework of Newton's dynamics (or laws of motion). The Law claims that gravity is a force, with a very specific formula we are all aware of.

If you ignore Newton's third law (about action-reaction pairs) for the gravitational phenomena of small bodies near a planet, and assume that the planet doesn't move at all, then we call the force on the small body its weight.

Now, returning to your question, in daily lingo, physicists use the word gravity to refer to the phenomena, the force law, or the weight. You have ascertain from context. In summary, gravity is a force is a perfectly valid and understandable statement within the slang of physics.

I am very surprised by this.

I suppose somewhere like Ben Nevis maybe 90% of the people you meet won't have a map and it is possible that places like this will represent a large proportion of the total people you meet when doing a round. So maybe it does make sense that you frequently encounter people without a map doing Munros just because most of the people you encounter are on Munros like Ben Nevis

But the restriction to "non-obvious" Munros doesn't match with my experience
Lots of these places do just that -- but unless you want your job to be "I run a tourist attraction/wedding venue as a small business", you might prefer to sell the place and let somebody else do it...
We had those too, they were called "Flippo's". They started off as plain disks, later on they added variations - extra large or thick ones, but also ones with the cuts around the edge.

So while the company in the article may have copyrights and trademarks and the like, I don't think their mechanism is / has been patented, due to (a very likely) prior art.
Makes sense. If you own an apartment a fair chunk of your body corporate fees go into the shared pool for maintenance and it would all be planned out well in advance.
Really what we want is concrete to absorb co2 over time. I know that's not how the chemistry works but it'd be a great way to solve the diffuse carbon problem.
Do they have a patent on it though? The article mainly talks about IP, copyright and trademarks. (although IP and patents are probably the same thing, IDK)
It pulled them out of a rut as well; if they hadn't done the IP's, the multi-media projects (like Ninjago, Nexo Knights, etc), the collector's items etc, the competitors would likely have taken up a lot of their market space once their patents expired.

That said, lego has (IIRC) always had really good quality and precision.

The cupboards they sell here are -very- poor quality. The laminated chipboard rarely lasts more than 5 years. Ive never seen it survive two moves.

I would be guessing, but the difference between countries may be the purchasing habits. Most german houses may already have better/built in X (or just sufficient other types), maybe most US houses do not have X.

It's probably very low in this particular area. I pay about 1800€ for my small 3 bedroom house.
This does look like it could kill the second-hand market, though. A voucher ties you to spending it on more IKEA, and if enough people exchange their used furniture for vouchers instead of selling it themselves, it'll discourage people from looking for the used furniture outside of IKEA - seeing second-hand IKEA furniture on sale you'll be asking yourself whether it's a lemon, because if it wasn't, then presumably the owner would sell it back to IKEA instead.

"Good business sense" seems to rarely correlate with benefits for society these days, so it's wise to be skeptical.

Why would you need a furniture that lasts decades if:
- it is expensive
- it doesn't match the design in ~5 years

People now want to be able to afford new furniture every 5-10 years, cardboard one is not the issue if it is designed to look good.

Minority of people would buy furniture 10x expensive that lasts 10x longer then the cardboard one (I wouldn't).
> Biden asked for a prosecutor to be fired because he wasn't investigating the company his crackhead son received large payouts from enough huh?

Yes. But it was not only that company.
The corrupt prosecutor refused to investigate many corrupt companies and politicians.

> "Shokin played the role of protecting the vested interest in the Ukrainian system," said Carpenter, who traveled with Biden to Ukraine in 2015. "He never went after any corrupt individuals at all, never prosecuted any high-profile cases of corruption."

>That demonstrated that Poroshenko's administration was not sincere about tackling corruption and building strong, independent law enforcement agencies, said Heather Conley, director of the Europe program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based foreign policy think tank.

> In July 2015, Shokin's office became mired in scandal after authorities raided homes belonging to two high-ranking prosecutors. Police seized millions of dollars worth of diamonds and cash, suggesting the pair had been taking bribes.

> It became known as the "diamond prosecutors" case. Deputy General Prosecutor Vitaliy Kasko, who said he tried to investigate it, resigned months later, calling the prosecutor's office a "hotbed of corruption" and an "instrument of political pressure."

> Shokin's office also stepped in to help Zlochevsky, the head of Burisma.

> British authorities had frozen $23 million in a money-laundering probe, but Shokin's office failed to send documents British authorities needed to prosecute Zlochevsky. The case eventually unraveled and the assets were unfrozen.

In October 2015, Ukrainians staged a protest outside Poroshenko's home calling for Shokin's removal.

Biden's son hunter didn't play a role in it. Oh I'm sure that the company hired Biden's son in hopes of getting influence and that sort of soft corruption sucks, even if it isn't illegal (I wouldn't be opposed to trying to make it illegal even though I imagine it would be pretty difficult), but there is 0 evidence that this had any effect on Joe Biden or US policy, especially since this guy was protecting Burisima.

And it wasn't just Biden but Obama and most of the foreign policy guys in the US and EU that wanted Shokin dismissed because of his corruption, Biden was just the guy who got to deliver the message.

Later Trump and his allies were happy to buy into whatever lies the corrupt prosecutor Shokin was willing to make up abut Biden. Did they know it wasn't true? I don't know but I imagine they didn't care

Also, have you seen any international homefinding shows on cable? AFAIK in some South American countries buying furnished houses and flats is a common practice. Presumably there is judgment involved in knowing what to upgrade before going on market, but this is also true of other upgrade tradeoffs such as with kitchens and bathrooms.
If you buy a desk top made out of this honeycomb crap, if you put any weight on the desk top (e.g. sometimes rest your elbows there), be prepared to throw it out after a couple years - the whole surface will over time heavily deform under weight and will no longer be flat.
> Have you thought about the consequences if everyone bought furniture like that? There's a reason why solid wood furniture is more expensive, it's a LOT more resource intensive and wasteful during manufacturing. Imagine if everyone started buying all solid wood furniture tomorrow? How many more trees would be cut down? How much wood fiber left over from making other products would be wasted because people wouldn't want it for furniture anymore?

What if I turn that argument around? What if people started buying solid wood furniture? It would result in an increased amount of wood being used in items where the carbon will remain in place for a very long time. The trees would be replaced with newly planted ones that sequester even more carbon, and so we end up with less carbon in the atmosphere.

Now, this obviously assumes that we can make the solid wood furniture with a small enough carbon footprint for this to work, but the general idea isn't bad.

Sorry - I meant that I personally have only ever spoken to people who didn't appear to know where they were a couple of times and they happened to be on what I would have thought were slightly odd hills for someone to just wander up. In both cases they asked me where they were and I gave them a map and showed them where they were - which I hoped helped.

I have spoken to other people on popular hills who didn't have maps - but at least they knew where they were (if perhaps a bit vague about the way up/down....).
Very easy to say, but would require multiple years worth of salary for me to open that, and the location is not suited to a museum. A wedding venue maybe, but still the investment required to start that is beyond what I can do. I also do not want to quit my software career in London to bank everything on a hospitality business in the middle of nowhere in Eastern Europe.
Agreed. I maintain a whole bunch of codebases, many of which are a few years old, and it's so much easier to dust of an Elixir project (pre-formatter) than, say, picking up on a Wordpress or Drupal project.
Transparency doesn’t mean that anyone cares or is looking, just that the information is available.

My wife doesn’t just randomly pull her phone out throughout the day and check where I am. She uses it to answer a question like “is he on his way home / can I start supper?” or “he’s normally home 3 hours ago, has he even left work yet?”. And generally only once I’ve not responded to her just asking me.

If I wanted to go buy her a surprise gift I’d just tell her beforehand “got some errands to run after work be a couple hours late” or walk out on a weekend and say “running to the store, back in a couple hours”.

In that case unless I take way longer than I figured and don’t check in or respond to her checking in she has no reason to check where I am.
People love to bash developers who put up "Chrome recommended" banners, dismissing them as lazy, but when making games and such there are real issues that are impossible to circumvent. This bug is a prime example of that.

Ask HN: Should autistic children be schooled around other autistic children
Reason for my question, it is a pretty good chance my son has autism. I think stage 1, seems no problem with intelligence to me as he is nearly 3 and seems to have the right vocabulary size and reasonable motor skills, but he does have some symptoms regarding stage 2 (putting things in order, stressed out if order gets messed with), definitely not stage 3 at current time. The kindergarten seems to think he is totally late stage 2 or stage 3, which seems weird to me, maybe he acts worse among them.

It is being suggested that he should go to a kindergarten that has special resources for autism. One of my worries is that among other autistic children he might behave worse in that less chance of learning to socialize, picking up bad habits regarding speech and acting out.

Hoping someone has some familiarity with issues and can point out to good data on what benefits there are to having him in a kindergarden with other autistic children and if there are any problems associated with it.
