It’s going to be very interesting to see what plays out at the end of the pandemic, assuming there is an end (I’m optimistic.)

My hypothesis is that many markets eventually return to normal, but SF strikes me as one that may never be what it once was. The veneer of the place was already cracking for those that lived there or visited, and now it’s cracked for employers. Why stay and limit yourself to SF when you can source talent from everywhere, knowing that a partially or entirely distributed model can work? I can’t imagine real estate values ever return to their prior state in SF. It’s going to be painful for those that own there, but could be some strange sort of renaissance for the city.
Nice dodge of the question! I cited specific examples of ludicrous things he's said that have come true, and you cite small lies he's told. I can do the same for any politician you name, that doesn't mean they never say something worth listening to.

Like I said though... Keep going. People like you have converted me from a never Trumper to a Trump supporter. And people like you have converted my aunt, a former Obama-supporting liberal, into avid pro-Trumpers. Honestly, from my perspective, I say keep going on and do whatever it is you do. It'll just make more people like me.
I had the same reaction. It's nicely written but I don't know why I should believe its narrative anymore than any other ones.

While the quote you cited sounds impactful, I don't understand the point of comparing those two numbers nor what inferences I should draw from it or how it makes this narrative more true than another. In the end, the piece just feels vacuous. It feels like a cheap imitation of some of PG's writings.
Weighing of course can add much more uncertainty. What if there is a portion of the country you simply can't reach for some reason, or you hear back from just 2 people? That data would be as good as useless even if you extrapolate with weights.
Someone posted about an aspect of this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25048031
Generally, in self defense the idea is to do as little possible up until it's decided that the assailant intends harm no matter what, which is when the goal is to incapacitate as quickly as possible. The example I was given by a friend who is well versed in martial arts:

> You are threatened by someone for your wallet. First and foremost, place your wallet on the ground, and run like hell when they bend over to pick it up. If they step over the wallet, incapacitate then run like hell.

The "step over the wallet" moment is when the decision is made that if you don't do something, you're probably going to be killed.

> if you're cornered and there's an unbalanced distribution of force, you're kind of screwed regardless of what you do.

This is where martial arts and self defense come it in. No matter how big the other person is, it's really hard to catch up to someone running away with a broken knee.
I don't think OP's points would - VC really is about getting into 100x deals, and the "cost" multistage funds would take on to do that is quite high.

The implication of working coronavirus vaccine by end of October was that it would be available for use (you can find quotes from the Trump administration saying they were working on distribution of hundreds of millions of doses by the end of the month), not that there would be a preliminary report from a still ongoing trial indicating that the vaccine works.

The Steele dossier includes information from Russian sources. It was not "paid for" by Russia.

No one has argued that Hunter Biden was not being paid because he was a Biden. The question was whether it led to improper behavior on the part of Joe Biden. That email proves nothing. It's entirely plausible that Hunter Biden got this guy an invite to some social function where shook hands with the Vice President. This is also entirely ignoring the fact that the firing of the prosecutor wasn't some sort of one off idea that Biden came up with on his own. There are independent speeches by all sorts of people from 6 years ago that complain about the corruption of the prosecutor in question, which makes this whole point moot. The prosecutor was fired for not investigating the company that hired Hunter Biden.

Like most liars, Trump isn't inventing everything out of thin air, but he misrepresents so often and so much that you can't draw any useful conclusions from anything he says.
Apologies for the late response, but thank you for letting me know!
I would have expected the $40/month price tag for the WSJ to be a more effective filter. I guess there's plenty of racist-grandpa types happy to shell out the cash.
Do they overperform for laptop use cases or for iPad use cases?
You can have both. Users should control the keys. Not an insurmountable problem.
This might seem ridiculous, but I become very aware of this feeling when I buy a new phone or computer for the first week or so or if I use someone else's phone or computer.

New devices feel foreign and strange for a bit until they're configured and setup properly and you get used to the new features or speed or whatever.

Whenever I use someone else's phone or computer, I always feel like I need to be careful not to intrude, avoid the gallery, texting apps, email apps things like that. Stay out of the documents and random storage folders and stuff.

It gives me the same feeling as being alone in someone else's house. If I go through that kind of stuff it'd be like rummaging through their drawers or their bedroom or something.
It just seems silly though. If you want a Mac Mini with 64GB of RAM you're forced to take the slower CPU and GPU. If you want a 13" MBP with 32GB RAM it will cost you $500 more and also get you a slower CPU and GPU.
Okay, probably a stupid question, but solid state memory can be pretty dense: why don't we have huge caches, like a 1GB cache? As I understand it, cache memory doesn't put off heat like the computational part of the chip does, so heat dissipation probably wouldn't increase much with a larger chip package.
Hey, I came across an earlier comment you made on a post and wanted to ask you some questions with regards to leveling up skills, would you be ok with me emailing you?

Will Twitter employ people to actually verify anything themselves?

What will they go by when there are multiple versions of stories based on who you ask?

Will they block all the stories where there are anonymous sources?

Will they block all opinion pieces?

And no, lack of evidence doesn't make things fake. Lack of evidence is just lack of evidence. Even for things that may require evidence, evidence can always be found later or presented later. If Twitter had existed since the 60s, would it be right for them to block everything mentioning Higgs boson until evidence for it was found in 2012?
> Contrary to everyone else, I really like the keyboard.

Lot of people like it, they just don't post about it.

Mine has a bunch of keys that print 2 or 3 times when I press the key once (the issue that everybody eventually get with the model I have) but I still prefer that flat keyboard to the old one. Takes a few days to get used to but then it's great.

I'm using https://github.com/aahung/Unshaky which fix the issue with the broken keys.
Yes, it was announced that they do have virtualization.
While it's true that the average salary of people who complete a college degree is higher than those who don't there are large numbers who don't complete the degree (which ends up with little salary benefit), or who do degrees that don't provide great salary outcomes[1]

> He also pledged to fund it by raising corporate income taxes, which will reduce the profitability (and therefore, the value) of all publicly traded companies in the US, which means anyone with a 401(k) or IRA will indirectly be paying for this,

That's not how it works. The stockmarket is a comparative market where higher profitability compared to other companies is what affects stock price. This means tax increases to all companies don't drop stock prices.

Also the amount of tax increase is so small it is unlikely to be noticeable on the P&L anyway.
The rejoinder to this line of thinking is generally: "if liberals are so smart, how come they always lose?"

Worth a thought.
The press releases and statements that come from police, councils or similar are easy to get but require a human to deal with and edit.

Original reporting and content would be your differentiator and that takes time and effort. What if you are a terrible writer? What if news breaks when you are away or 11 PM and later?

Creating an audience overnight is very hard so there needs to be a runway.

That local audience won't like you writing an inquest report into a local hero who used drugs, or a 'heart of gold' type who killed someone in opaque circumstances. Elections? You are biased! Even if you are not.

100k people should be able to do about 1m pageviews a month on non-rubbish content. Adsense base thats about $1000, but direct sales would be where the revenue is.

News is old almost instantly, you need to keep the ball spinning.

Don't build an aggregator, no one will care.

Do it properly, and don't expect to make money :-)

Good luck!
Only when you compare apples to oranges, but this is an apples to apples comparison. Same underlying silicon, almost identical configuration, different chassis. It's impossible for the Pro not to outperform the Air when the only substantial difference for performance is TDP and we have zero reason to believe that heat-pipe + fan would be outperform by passive cooling of all things.
It all seems very mild what he is saying. Some nice analogies. How did this get the Ant IPO killed? Maybe there is something else going on here...
> Amid controversy in July 2019, Zoom issued an update to completely remove the Web server from its Mac application, as we reported at the time.

Surprised to see them mention the web server thing and not mention that it was so bad that Apple actually updated its antivirus software to remove the Zoom web server.
Defining Creative Commons Noncommercial (2009)
I doubt the buyer cared one way or another whether the previous investors got their $800k back or not.

I'm guessing it's more that the buyer was only prepared to go to 4mil, and the _seller_ had run their numbers and came to the conclusion "4mil minus that $800k isn't enough to secure my families future, and I'd need to walk away from the deal unless they agree to forgive that $800k" so he asked them, and they agreed.
It's a shame we don't have charities that would take such parts and then distributed them to less fortunate countries. Ten years ago a ten year old graphics card would no longer be quite usable, but now 10 years old card should work just fine for most of the tasks, except more advanced gaming.
Absolutely. I’m a CS academic writing “real” code for the first time in 20 years. It’s really reassuring to hear that Marco Arment is also googling for the same SwiftUI tutorials that I keep falling back on.
covid is a scam
I've actually met this guy in the past, after he moved to BC and reinvented himself. His provided name of "Jesse James" was obviously fake and he was clearly sketchy (he claimed to have a PhD in physics, was the CEO of some AI-related startup, and various other outlandish things, and all that within the first ten minutes of speaking with him) but he seemed friendly enough.

The news of his murder was a pretty big shock locally. Everyone is talking about his youthful neo-Nazi fling but to me the most amazing part of this story is his past as a spammer. I read the book Spam Kings way back when and I clearly remember everyone hating these guys. Then fifteen years later or something, I'm chatting with one of those same guys at some local crag without knowing it. I know it's a cliche, but life is strange.
That's not what we're talking about. Parallels runs ARM VMs on ARM macOS using hardware virtualization.
I'm perfectly happy with the division between "consumer machines" and "creative machines".

I obviously count myself among the people who needs and wants creator capabilities, but for my technologically challenged family and friends there's no reason to learn and manage all the complexities of a classic computer environment if they just want a point of access to youtube, netflix, spotify and social networks.

I still shiver remembering the times of browsers riddled with search bars, trojans and antivirus software slowing computers to a crawl and people who's "good with tech" being dragged to friends' houses to see what's wrong with the computer.
Since we can all be remote, we can go to places that aren't full of drug addicts and anarchists and jihadis or whatever other deplorables that are cramping our lifestyle.

Why don't we just occupy all the cafes in Chamonix, or take over Puerto Cabezas, or the seediest neighborhood in Montevideo? And then we can change it up every few years.
You just publicly admitted to breaking Philadelphia election code.

>Author here. The military is a political entity, and different voters have different opinions on.

The USA is a political entity that different voters have different opinions on. The city, state, school district, utility district, sanitst district, etc. are all political entities that different voters have different opinions on.

The specific guidelines you linked on electioneering do not ban flag t-shirts, or anything military related (the military is not a candidate, campaign, or political party, and is strictly apolitical).

It's unconscionable that election officials are publicly admitting to breaking election code in 2020.
I hope the next thing is a renewed focus on the physical world. For the most part, humanity took a break from innovating significantly on transportation, housing, cities, biotech. Our ability to model and simulate the real world has improved exponentially, I'm optimistic about what can come from that.

Lots of great minds have been focused purely on software but perhaps the shift back to hardware / physical things is starting.
There is no claim of Chinese agression here. China isn't going to ruin the good thing they've got going. It's in a vague situation or a defensive situation.

The Chinese economy is mostly domestic, relying about 15% on exports, and this is declining. Indeed, the Chinese economy is more inwards oriented than many countries in the alliance you're proposing.

I'm not saying that India is a 1 on 1 challenger. It's closer to an eight of China. I'm saying that the entire coalition you're proposing is simply not enough. It's biggest member, India, doesn't have some problems - it's comparatively bordering on dysfunctional.

Moreso, you're assuming that the alliance will somehow work perfectly together and that their interests are perfectly aligned, which is ridiculous. Every single member of that alliance except India and the US rely hugely on Chinese trade, and not only that but they all have conflicts with each other!

And so, for a good alliance to form, one must have a strong, near-peer figure. This could be either India, or the US. The US is very far away and, given recent technological developments, might not even be able to project a significant amount of power versus a Chinese missile interdiction of large surface ships combined with strong bombardment of Guam and, if necessary, Okinawa, as well as other bases.

Because the US is simply very far away, while China is in its backyard. The US needs to project power from thousands and thousands of kilometers away and maintain supply lines with lead times in the weeks, while China can literally operate fully out of their mainland using a few other bases for auxiliary capacities.

So you have an alliance that falls short to begin with, but not only does it fall short; it's a very imperfect alliance with many of the members in severe conflict with each other but also economically dependent on the enemy.

All of this, while the US economy is getting more and more stagnant and while severe problems with its political structure are evolving, with seemingly no interest from the ruling class to actually solve them.

Yeah, no. Beating China in their own backyard at a time where they will be close to the global #1 economy is a pipe dream.
Anti SV vitriol grows and wanes throughout the year. I don’t think this is any telling for anything.

>San Francisco had four times as many deaths from overdose this year as it did from the COVID-19 virus

San Francisco also has one of the lowest death rates and counts of COVID in the entire US for big cities. I’d say comments like these are also disingenuous to paint a picture of crazy peril. Overdoses are bad but the fearmongering is ridiculous.
I haven’t watched anything. Are you saying you can boot another OS? Can you point me to where I can read or hear more about this?
He was Jewish himself. So, I don't understand what it means to be anti-Jewish as a Jewish person.
Hah, this reminds me of college. I remember some of my first CS courses, everyone either had a brand new mbp or an ALIENWARE super beefy laptop.

I had a 300 dollar 7" netbook. Turns out that unless you're doing deep learning, etc. (which you might as well just run remote IMO), a bottom of the line intel atom processor can handle the workloads that a CS program throws at it no problem. I mean, in reality you're doing things like solving sudoku puzzles or making some syscalls 95% of the time.

Admittedly, I ended up buying a desktop because I wanted the screen real estate when things got more complex, but I thought it was funny how many people had this conception that they would need to run their ray tracer from CS101 on their i7 with 32gb RAM
The third wave is web 3 brought by decentralized blockchain networks such as Ethereum. Wacky, crazy, interesting stuff is happening in that space, more than any other.
Thanks for the recommendation.

How do you identify aspects of yourself that require attention?
Most startup employees don't even get 80K. My last "exit" as an early employee was barely 20K. I doubt my current startup will be any better. I look at this as a "bonus" and not anything that was expected. The average startup employee will be lucky to get non-zero.

If you want "returns", you're better off getting a stable, higher paying job and investing the excess in public markets. You have diversification and liquidity.
All these are great, but the downside is that they are not interactive — you have instead static profiles that specify what is allowed and what not.

In contrast, think of mobile OSes where you are prompted (interactive!) whether to allow an app to access/do X.

There's a _huge_ difference in the PR value for General Catalyst of a couple of million random New York Times readers compared to a couple of thousand HackerNews readers.

You have fixated on a single point that the parent comment mentioned, hyperbolised it, and gone off on a complete tangent. I think you should take a step back and attempt to understand the overarching point the parent comment was making, because I don't think you get it.
Not really, though BPF was sort of a design alternative to Solaris/SVR4 STREAMS. If you follow the cites, BPF is really an evolution of CSPF, the CMU-Stanford Packet Filter. (As I understand it! McCanne could show up at any moment and correct me.)
my biggest nit is that it has a single pass compiler. this means the compiler can't infer the type for a function argument event though I pass it an `int` later in the file.

OCaml is better at type inference but it doesn't benefit from .Net libraries (the only reason I'm using F# over OCaml).
Nerds, investors, good weather, hard working technical migrants, weirdos (I mean that in a good way), a tolerance for failure + people who take basically irrational risks, a lot of 'new warm bodies' who take the koolaid, a hoard of very talented, operationally minded 'startup professionals' who know how to grow companies from Round A->E, and open-minded biz dev community who will entertain doing deals with small companies, and highly acquisitive M&A teams with massive budgets that provided 80% of the exits, and/or large financial institutions with frothy buyers to buy shares for IPO.

Nowhere has that.

Huh, the Macbook Pro only has the same two thunderbolt/USB ports as the Air? (One of which will be in use by a power adapter if you are plugged in, so you really only have one port).

I was imagining upgrading to the Pro to get more USB ports, but if that's not an option... I can't see why I'd ever pay for a Pro.

I like having more than one USB port so I can copy things from one external HD to another. I guess I'd need a dock for that.
