I grew up in Massachusetts in the 90s and in my interpretation, finance was not taught in grade school (K-12) because school systems and teachers had a belief that learning about money would "defile" children and cause them to become money-grubbing greed mongers.

This is potentially a by-product of Puritan forms of thinking (the same thing that causes happy hour laws in MA to be draconian, and no liquor allowed to be sold on Sundays). I have no doubt early education is much more progressive now, but this is just how I experienced it.

I actually did have questions about money back then, but teachers would always shoot me down when I asked. It's possible this was because the teachers themselves didn't know the answers to my financial questions, making this a generational vicious cycle.
That's true, but in this case it's already stated that the terms might be abusive. Once you continue, knowing that, you know you might have your presentations made public.

Once again, I don't condone these terms.
No - we cannot give up on the idea that objective truths exist. The idea of truth represents an objective reality. We can disagree on what we believe or feel, but a truth can exist even if zero people believe it.
Nuro (https://nuro.ai) | Mountain View | Full-time | ONSITE

Earlier this year, our self-driving delivery robot R2 became the first autonomous vehicle to receive an approved exemption from the US Department of Transportation. R2 then became the second autonomous vehicle to receive a driverless testing permit in California. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we set up contactless delivery services with R2 at temporary care facilities in California to carry food, water, and medical supplies to patients and doctors with the goal of decreasing points of contagion.

Today, we’re excited to announce another first for Nuro. For the past few months, R2 has been testing on city streets fully autonomously in three different states. No drivers. No occupants. No chase cars.

> You're going to need to explain this one.

The porting effort for a native app using 3D graphics APIs to run on all platforms is simply enormous, and completely out of the question for small demos like this one or really anything but the most profitable apps (and even many of those choose to use Unity or another cross platform framework rather than bear the cost themselves). Not only do the platforms differ in their supported APIs, they all have different bugs and quirks. In contrast, it is trivial to write a WebGL app with no framework and run it on practically any platform. Compatibility is dramatically higher.

> A 20mb app takes the same amount of time to download whether it's a zip file or a WebGL app

This is demonstrably false if you count the time that matters, which is time from intent to use the app to actually using the app. Just time installing and launching a 20mb app from the Play Store or iOS app store or Steam or even plain zip file (though in reality most apps require an installer) vs. loading a 20 MB web page. Also count the number of clicks required, and as a bonus count the permissions you need to feel comfortable granting for the app to run. It's partially technical and partially due to platform conventions, but the difference is not small.

> you can't run a WebGL app on any (non-jailbroken) game console

This is false. Xbox supports WebGL. So does Oculus Quest. You are right that PlayStation and Switch don't though, I was wrong about that (though PlayStation does use WebGL internally, and Switch has a webview that supports WebGL, just not a user accessible browser app). Yes, Tesla's web browser supports WebGL, as do Samsung and LG and Sony smart TVs and fridges and tons of other similar devices.

A third (perhaps more sensible) option would be for all private presentations to be retained, but presenting and editing them is disabled. Downloading them can also be retained. If the subscription is renewed, then they can easily switch back on the ability to present and edit the private presentations.
Hello HN!

I wanted to share something I’ve been working on for the past couple of months. Several acquaintances wanted a simple video hosting platform, and they didn’t want to go through Vimeo or YouTube. Having used Wistia before, I propose this one because it’s a great tool, but they are not attracted because they have to pay $99 as soon as they have over 3 videos and/or want to put their branding on the player. So they kindly ask me to do you know IT stuff to make this for them. I did it once, twice, three times... and I just thought why don’t I make a platform for it. And thus was born Hodho an alternative of Wistia.

Hodho is a simple Nestjs application backed by a PostgresSQL database. On the frontend, I use React. About analytics, I only collect information useful to understand how your video is viewed. I don’t know if John Doe in his house in Seattle watched the video at 1PM. If the user has put the DNT in his browser, I don’t retrieve the information from the browser, country, language.

The demo video comes from the transistor.fm website. Justin Jackson has kindly accepted to let me use the player for showcase purposes.

I would love to hear your feedback. Thanks and smile! :)
For all the complex and serious problems the US has, I think it's still generally a stable and safe place with plenty of opportunity and nice people. I'd feel safer there than many other historical places that had aimed more aggressively at more-or-less equal societies. Few people seem to risk their lives to defect from the US. And they wouldn't even have to because the US lets you leave!

Fair enough. Guess that's why it's so hard.
Managing Our Way to Economic Decline (1980/2007*)
What I am saying is that lies should not be protected by the US constitution. One ought to be responsible for the consequences of speech. We are, citizens are. We have freedom of speech, yet the constitution does not protect us from the consequences of what we say as individuals.

There are two groups who are allowed to lie with impunity: the press and politicians.

This is wrong. And I posit it is particularly wrong in the case of the press.

Here's the way I look at it: We grant the press the right protections from government intervention. This is good and we should definitely do it. We want them to work for us, to keep us informed and provide us with access to the truth. The phrase "Speaking truth to power" has a real meaning. It isn't "Fabricating and lying to power". We recognize this right in the constitution because knowing the truth is crucially important. Lies are not helpful and are usually destructive, as the current political mess clearly demonstrates.

My "move on and look for something else to report" comment is a simple way of saying that: If the press can't back a story to the degree necessary to consider it truthful, they should move on and report on something else. Constantly broadcasting lies isn't useful to anyone. There are plenty of other stories to report on.

I mean, some of the things "journalists" are saying on TV are down-right vile. If you or I said and printed such things about people or groups of people we would lose everything we own in a massive defamation lawsuit. The media and politicians suffer no consequences for, quite literally, at times, utterly destroying the lives of people with lies. That is objectively wrong and should not be protected by a the US constitution.
I chose that wording because the gist of your comment was correct (there is indeed corruption) but the devil is in the details. For instance, WE Charity is NOT a "for-profit" charity[0] as you claim. I could go on, but I have no desire to engage on specifics when the overall assertion is mostly true.

I only want the reader to be wary of claims (and the claimant) citing an obviously partisan source. A source that has been caught red-handed publishing disinformation provided by foreign state actors[1].

Although you sound well-intentioned, I'm just not interested in engaging when someone plays fast and loose with facts and sources. I'm just so incredibly tired of it.

She did work in physics, though - she worked with Einstein on his papers, as we learned for example from the article here.

You don't actually need permission to work in physics. Didn't Einstein also write his seminal papers while he was working at the patent office?

Also from that example, it seems that three times more male students than female students failed their exam. Doesn't really prove sexist discrimination, especially with the first example where she got the good grade and Einstein the bad one.
I don't know if it changed, but could have only been an improvement; if in the previous version everything would be made public.
...I don't know.

I mean, I've had an Atari 65XE myself when I was a kid, but tvs are much bigger nowadays, less accessible and HDMI cables are much more difficult to run through the room (stiffness and length limits are real issues); OTOH keyboards and mice are easy to come by. The hard part of the Pi is the display. The kit also doesn't include a cam nor a headset, nor even a mic. This is super important for online learning. Maybe you could fit in a mic in the keyboard somewhere?

A Pi all-in-one (iPi if you excuse me) or a Pi-book in an affordable price range would be revolutionary. I have an old VGA-only monitor but guess what - no D-SUB on the Pi 400 and a proper dongle would be another... $30?

As is, nostalgia value is super-high but I don't feel it's as practical as one would hope without any kind of display.

We're looking for an experienced backend engineer to lead our API implementation. Full description here: https://www.workatastartup.com/companies/21800

You can email founders@getseam.com or use YC Work at a Startup. Thanks!
People still have a strong immune response in 2020 for the original 2003 SARS virus. This is consistently the case every time they do a study of 2003 SARS immunity, including the new study a few months ago. Many people with 2003 SARS immunity also show significant immune cross-reactivity with 2019 SARS.

All of the evidence suggests that immunity against coronaviruses is quite durable.
Oh no, you have hurt the companies' feelings!
I only met Dan once but he was kind, enthusiastic, and helpful about a project of mine at a time when I badly needed that encouragement. I'm learning how that he had a similar impact on hundreds of other developers. RIP.
You're not gonna see people climbing trees with electric chainsaws for a long time. With current battery tech power to weight is still a decent way off from ICE, especially in applications where weight is optimized for. Sure, most stuff will be electric but ICE will stick around for a long time. Niches with a high cost of labor tend to amplify viability differences. Electric is just easier and once it's viable people switch to it but don't expect it to completely dominate overnight.
Dammit, sorry.
Well, I would strongly suggest you speak to a lawyer on it, but I would note this strategy only really gives you an American judgement, and the RIAA takedown would still apply in any other territory.

I don't know if Github would host content where they felt there were issues in some countries and not others. Would they geofilter it as they do with Iranian contributors due to US sanctions?
Go watch Carlin's old comedy bits. He talks about disinformation, culture wars, etc.

I see no reason at all why corporatist, crony, regulatory capture etc Capitalism isn't the natural outcome of capitalist capital accumulation (and thus power). The incentives to pursue those things seem completely logical to me.
The left is also engaging in facist policies. If neither party is willing to admit their atrocities then no progress is going to be made, and just more polarization is going to ensue. It's quite sickening to see the leftists claim moral superiority and virtue signal. I see more willingness to engage in debate from the right.

Batteries may not be energy dense enoguh, but hydrogen should be.
It's possible to implement something like this and you wouldn't be able to find out, as a service sitting between the network and ad servers, it could even be embedded in an innocent looking load balancer.

Off-topic: Bandwidth is still pretty costly at Digital Ocean (DO). You can rent an entire droplet along with the additional bandwidth that comes with said droplet for 50% less than just buying the extra bandwidth (and even with that 50% discount it's still prohibitive for bandwidth-intensive apps).

More off-topic: I still generally like and use DO, but I dislike the policy of billing for one thing (e.g. 1vCPU) and adding hidden, fuzzy terms and conditions like "don't consume excessive CPU cycles." IMO the marketing ought to make it crystal clear that you're allowed to _burst_ to 100% use and also put in a well-defined threshold on any other resource limits like total CPU cycles so that people can plan accordingly and not be hit with surprise outages. It's similar to the complaint people have with Comcast selling XX00 Mbps packages and then tucking a miniscule bandwidth cap in the terms and conditions. That's potentially a fine policy, but it's extremely misleading to sell one thing and use fine print to shape it into a completely different offering.
You can't downvote articles on Hacker News.
I don't mean it is not important, but it doesn't change how society thinks about things in a significant way. Evolution theory offers an alternative to the explanation that "god created everything". That affected everybody, not just the scientists.

Git is not truly decentralized, in the sense that you still need to provide a few specific remote hosts, all of which could disappear due to law enforcement. Instead of one centralized server you've moved to maybe 3-4 centralized servers, which isn't that helpful against the issue at hand, especially if those servers are all within the US, Europe and other law-enforcement-cooperating countries.

In a true decentralized system (e.g. Bittorrent, Bitcoin, etc.) it's practically impossible to delete something, and there would be plenty of accessible copies of data in jurisdictions that are out of reach of any single country's law enforcement, and even out of reach of the original creator to delete, so the original creator's government would not be able to force them to delete it.

Another HN user pointed out Freenet to me in another post, which sounded a lot like the right answer, but I haven't researched it in detail yet and whether it could be easily adapted to work with the git command to actually version repos in a decentralized fashion.
Zoom meeting with people in significantly different latitudes would be like meetings now with people in significantly different longitudes. The same mechanisms we use to cope with the latter should work with the former.
