My mistake, sorry.

Years ago, there was a survey for founders called Startup Genome that asked about what went wrong.

It found that most companies failed because they had the wrong team or because they scaled prematurely (e.g. hiring full-time people to do part-time work).

My anecdata tells me most people never even get that far because they underestimate the cost of customer acquisition, and they can't survive the time it takes to get someone to write a check.
The thing is it is less secure in many ways because you are giving up on reputability and using long-lives keys stored on untrusted devices.
Ask HN: Do you find product comparisons useful when evaluating apps?
When I say product comparison, I mean a comparison displayed on your product website. The comparison is with some of your competitors. Naturally, this is meant to present your app in the best favourable light.

Do you find such product comparisons useful? Do you think they are essential, particularly if the market contains well known names? Or do you view such comparisons as too lightweight or selective?

Based on your qualification of who's silicon it is, AMD, Broadcom, Marvell, MediaTek, Nvidia, STMicroelectronics, and Qualcomm do not manufacture chips... Even IBM uses TSMC. That's a lot of the CPU silicon shipping right now.

The market has changed, and most CPU vendors don't fab their own chips anymore. The IP is in the chip design. Are you saying TSMC designed the M1?

I've been using Beeminder for 8 years[1], and it is no exaggeration to say it has massively changed my life. It helped me run a marathon, procrastinate less, write more words, workout regularly, and a bunch of other stuff.

It's weird and it's not for everyone, but if it works for you then go for it. I'm not ashamed that I need to wear corrective lenses, and I'm not ashamed that I needed help to get my shit together.

I was in a similar state, I just started taking unisom (the kind with doxylamine succinate) on the days I have trouble going to sleep at a good time. It works for me.

Sleeping pills aren't great but not sleeping isn't either. And not sleeping well can create a bad cycle where you stay up late to finish stuff that you didn't do during the day due to exhaustion.
I use it for server side rendering, in a Scala web app. It takes a bit to warm up and JIT compile the Typescript code (transpiled to js), but after that, it's okay fast.

I did a bit comparison with V8 maybe 5+ years ago and at the time, it was about the same speed as V8, from what I could see in a few quick tests — after warmup a lot.

Does anyone have details to share on the publishing organisation? They produce a number of similar literature reviews:

My impression, which could be wrong, is that the strong videographer uptake caught Canon somewhat by surprise. After that, depending upon your level of cynicism, they either decided to remain focused on still photographers and everyone else was incidental. Or they decided to deliberately nudge serious film people to their videocams. The EU tariff situation further complicated matters.
Something i always think about is how far ahead the military tech is compared to civilian.

With the Hubble Space Telescope for example we have one example of a design that's extremely similar to a 90's era KH-11 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KH-11_Kennen ) pointing outwards at the stars. We have dozens more, including newer, 30 years more advanced designs of spy satellites pointing inwards. That's pretty depressing. I get that defense is a requirement but our biggest scientific projects are essentially just offcuts of military tech with its unlimited budgets. Imagine if the space telescopes had similar budgets to spy satellites.
I'd rather crowd fund a 100% open mobile chip. We've got 'open phones' already. But they're all still using qualcomm blobs. I think that is a huge vuln in our communications system. It's like if one company controlled the entire internet... Every piece of data being passed in and out of the same chip right down to the way radio channels are chosen, ciphers used, transports checked, and control messages processed... all hidden. Using so much insecure crap. How many people use phones for sensitive info? this stuff is swiss-cheese, nightmare material

FYI, the IBM S/360 did support ASCII[0]. A bit in the program status word indicated if the machine was running in ASCII or EBCDIC mode. Most customers ran EBCDIC because it was more compatible with their masses of punch card originated data (no translation required). For the S/370, for virtual memory, a bit in the program status word was needed to indicate addresses were real or virtual. IBM surveyed its customers and found almost no one was using ASCII so its bit was taken for virtual memory.

I run over other day for 2-2.5 miles. Usually around 8:15 miles. I truly hate running, but everything I've read has lead me to gather that getting your heart rate up several times per week is a good idea.

Beyond that, I have two dogs, so a lot of walking with them. I've been meaning to add some light weight exercises, but I haven't gotten around to it.

With regard to #1, Linux support on existing Intel Macbooks since 2015 has been pretty poor[1]. That doesn't give me much confidence about support while Macs get more and more esoteric hardware configurations.

As for #2, perhaps, but we've already seen what happens when Apple adds their proprietary hardware to existing x86 systems with things like the T2 chip or the Touchbar. Support for either on Linux is still poor and nonexistent. Full integration with hardware and software on Apple's end means that they don't have to worry about compatibility like 3rd party hardware manufacturers do.

And a self-followup: I wrote https://github.com/linebender/piet-gpu/issues/49 to track this in piet-gpu.
Perhaps not strictly on-topic, but is there any equivalent FS/program in Windows that will allow users to have read-only access to files that are deduplicated in some way?

My use case is the MAME console archives, which are now full of copies of games from different localisations with 99% identical content. 7Z will compress them together and deduplicate, but breaks once the archive exceeds a few gigs.

These archives are already compressed (CHD format, which is 7Z + FLAC for ISOs), but it's deduplication that needs to happen on top of these already compressed files that I'm struggling with.

Sorry for the off-topic ask!
That would be, all kernels. They all program the physical memory controller to suit their needs. They would all know how much memory is actually provisioned. Its a matter of a uniform way of exposing this information.

This could be awesome for compressing Docker image layers. After all, they can be huge (hundreds of MB) and, if the Dockerfile is well organized, each step should contain a fairly homogeneous set of files (like apt-get artifacts, for example).
It’s easier than one might think. The key is being able to pull off the 20m snooze.

In my misspent youth, I used to drive to a Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts, pound a coffee and close my eyes for 15-20m. Another thing is to reserve a conference room on a remote floor during lunchtime.
Ok, thanks. I set what I thought was a username during signup but looks like that was just the name. I see now there's a second step going to https://spacehey.com/settings and the username URL is working for me.
There's one advantage to this approach that, as far as I've seen, no other password manager has been able to replicate. Pass is simple. It is literally a few hundred lines of clear, easy to read bash shell script (yeah, that's a phrase I never thought I'd hear myself saying, ever). It's simple because it's created by composing standard, simple off-the-shelf technologies (bash, gpg, git). Compared to more monolithic solutions, it's easy to compose those very same technologies in a different way. That, in turn, makes it easy to adapt to new settings, and super resilient to new use cases like different sync technologies.

Kubernetes provided a more robust api for cloud providers (the part of the API the end user of k8 doesn’t see, the part of the api that allows k8 to tell your cloud provider to create resources like load balancers, volumes, etc). Once k8 was ubiquitous, docker swarm had no chance.

The "prison profits" slogan isn't great, because it conceals the nature of the power structure that perpetuates the system.

The US prison system is a patronage system, not a profit system. It provides stable, nontradable jobs for a large group of relatively low skill people. Guards, cops, and corporate vendors to those groups. It turns out that Microsoft is a good example of that latter category.

Managing a patronage system is a particularly potent form of political power. Patronage systems underwrite most examples of "Machine Politics", particularly Chicago style Machine Politics.

I would personally like to see the word "patronage" return to American political discourse. It's something our ancestors talked a lot about, but we don't.

Patronage systems brought down the USSR.

There is only a lack of diversity if you define diversity as "black and latino". SV is one of the most diverse places in the US with HUGE representation from many many countries, backgrounds and social economic status. If you think about the fact that the overwhelming majority of Facebook and Google's users are not based in the US at all, you might start to realize that the diversity problem is not about American black and latinos.

There IS a lack of women in tech and especially software engineering roles. This is bad but is something that will change now that computer science is such a popular major. There are plenty of women who are product managers and designers and those are the roles that make decisions about the product.

There is a lack of older people at startups but startups are a young person's sport. I'm in my late 30s and I don't want to be working for startups for the starting my 40s. It's tiring as hell. There are plenty of older people in larger tech companies in SV.
They may not argue against the idea itself, but the flat Earth just doesn't make sense if you account for gravity.
I'll drop https://spritelyproject.org/ here.

Having said that, there is likely to be an issue of influencers ie. Those celebrities that you follow as they're interesting / exciting etc but may be completely uninformed on say green issues, which then have an undue influence on their followers. Worse, many of them are sponsored and corruptible that way - we're talking about boiling frogs both for the influencer and followers basically.

The other issue is that a Web of trust has a tendency to echo chamber. I think the actual hardest thing to do is to cross-polinate networks in a voluntary way, that I don't know how to do yet.
If they're almost the same, could you use one git repo with different branches for each version? Or archive them with restic into a folder and restore which one you need each time. Either method should deduplicate data if they're mostly the same file structure and content.

Edit:
You could even have several read only shadow copies of the repo for parallel working directory usage, if your hard link the .git directory except for the HEAD ref in each.
Are we talking about harvesting from automated tools? If yes, do you reckon automated tools mostly miss emails communicated through these schemes?

What do you mean by the scheme being compromised? An automated tool harvested it? Do you have any information on the possibility of harvesters with human in the loop? I can see some "shop" having human harvester who get paid by the number of addresses they "harvest".

Regarding genuine users having difficulty.. What would you say the rates are? Genuine users unable to read emails from schemes vs automated tools unable to extract emails from ad-hoc schemes.

What would you say the benefit is from having a plain e-mail address given the likelihood of it being "harvested"?
Huawei got a large fraction of TSMC's 5nm production this year because it had to stockpile chips ahead of the trade sanctions kicking in
I learned recently that to read faster your eyes should move LESS. Your eyes are constantly twitching and that makes reading slower. You can’t stop that but you can reduce it by moving your eyes less. At least that’s how I understand it.

So how to do it? Take a page/column of text and break it up into 3 smaller columns. Do this either in your head or physically on the paper. Then look at the center of the first column but read all the words on the first row with your peripheral vision, without moving your eyes. Do the same with the next column and the next until you’ve finished that row of text and move down to the next row of text. Repeat. It took some practice and at first I was slower, but much sooner than I expected I became a faster reader than my wife, who has always been much faster than me.

Someone's soon going to recreate the facebook!

Is it just me or nobody realize that the likes of MySpace started the downfall of the original Internet before it became "social media"?

Nostalgia of a simple web page is fine (and this is a nice implementation no doubt), but why recreate something that leads to something that is predictable?

Instead, recreate usenet with better privacy and mobile adoption. Usenet is what they killed before the promise of the Internet could be realized.
It's a tired, un-nuanced concern that doesn't indicate any understanding of why Apple favors lock-in.

They can. But not clear to me if they will.

Depends on whether your goal is to have as much as possible over a 2-3yr period or pure capital preservation over a shorter duration.

I’ve been much lazier about stock selection after selling a bunch to buy a house this year but I’ve been invested in ARKK for 4 years and expect to continue being invested with them for the next 4 years. Looking forward to capture their juicy Christmas dividend. I also like Apple and Target stock as a solid portfolio bedrock.
In fact, I believe all commercial robot tractors have a cab. And a driver in the cab at all times. John Deere definitely only deploys this way.
To be honest, the only problems on this iMac are audio (fair to say Apple's fault), the screen only running at 4K max (Apple custom stuff involved for 5K, but hey, not complaining about 4K, go find me an AiO PC with a 5K screem), the amdgpu issue (not really an Apple problem, it's just a rarer chip and probably a dumb bugfix and the older radeon driver works fine), and the Ethernet and SD card reader being problematic (that's a Broadcom chip and their silicon is universally buggy; not Apple's fault, these chips have issues on PCs too)

So really just audio is the one thing that jumps out as broken and specific to this being a Mac. I personally happen not to care as I use an external audio interface anyway :-)

Actual installation is trivial, it's just standard UEFI pretty much. As long as the right GPU driver loads you're fine. Thunderbolt and all that works out of the box.

OpenOffice is a better name, easier to remember, especially if you're not "in the community."

Outsiders may have read an article about some city or institution using OpenOffice, probably not LibreOffice.

Yeah it’s seems to be too complicated, and intelligence agencies don’t like complicated.

Assassinations are hard as it is to pull off especially in a country like Iran which is essentially a police state where every westerner and worse an Iranian that can freely travel abroad is likely under close surveillance.

This operation would require you not only to bring in assets but also tech.

Even if this was somehow could rigged with items you can find at “radio shack” there is no way that this would’ve passed any risk assessment too many things can go wrong.

A few years ago Riot Games turned me down for a position I was overqualified for because I’m not a hardcore gamer. I laughed it off because I knew that people who “give a shit” about the gaming industry expect to work 12 hours per day 300 days per year for a below market salary.
No, it’s a turn off. It tells me you’re just playing catch-up, rather than being so blindingly better than the competition that it is not even worth mentioning.
