Yeah, that doesn't work either because you can't see the holes in a successful startup.

Even if we disregard the riddle of its meaning, I have no idea how to pronounce the name.

Pee? Pye? Then, a "jay" sound, or a Spanish "junta", or a French "Jules"? And then how is the "u" pronounced?

I'm confused. Pidgel?

I’d guess economics is the only thing that can really unite people across all cultures. I live in an upper middle class Midwestern suburb , and my neighbors are Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Jordanian, Nigerian, Kenyan, and the people we bought our house from had Nepalese names based on a few Google searches.

If we just make everyone rich, maybe they won’t want the world to burn?
If you were alone on a small jet after the pilot died of heart attack, would you rather have advice from the internet's top minds, or an experienced pilot?

If you had accidently ingested a poison and had minutes to live, would you rather have advice from the internet's top minds or from top toxicologists?

I see it the same way. I'd take the topic experts.
I didn't know it was a typo until you highlighted. I legit thought it was the name of some hacker tool.

Not sure. As long as Apple are hostile to running anything else on their hardware, reverse engineering it (for all the drivers and etc.) might be simply a waste of time and resources which could be better applied to something useful and actually friendly to openness.

Especially since such reverse engineering will require constant chasing after changes to stay relevant.

I see my postscript about imagined subtexts wasn't helpful.

That HNers and programmers in general live in a filter bubble is not something I forget about at all. I've encountered my share of opposition for pointing this out, in fact. What's more is that this conversation is happening in a context—and it's a context where I explicitly made a reference to "twtxt['s] target audience". In comparison to setting up a Mastodon server, or getting Twitter to add support for ActivityPub, dropping a file somewhere is easy. So I don't really like quips like this. They're glib. As a person actually working on trying to fix the problem of computing being needlessly esoteric, I consider it to probably be harmful to that end, not helpful.
I might be wrong but this sounds a lot like you should be wondering what Rhino was (or is, apparently it's still not quite dead yet)

I have a question - say, if one wants to invest $1M in some sort of rental properties (anywhere in the world).

What's the most efficient rental properties that generate highest percentage of return after recurring expenses?

The reason I like real estate is that because it's something tangible, real and physical (compare to stocks, cryptos, papers and government promises) and can provides excellent inflation hedge as well as real place to live.

And $1M can afford to invest into high quality, waterfront properties that can be carrying many benefits for years to come.
Not sure about the others points but here are some thoughts on 4 of the supposed "problems".

2. Monopolies - See Peter Theil - this is the whole point of any business and not a problem. If you look at a wide enough time scale, startups always have a chance to disrupt - you just need a paradigm shift. Look at what the internet did to Wintel. Monopolies have persisted for MUCH longer periods in industries where paradigm shifts are rare. Look at the cable, wireless or utility industries.

3. Diversity - This is only a problem for liberals - not SV. Since most of SV are liberal this is a problem only by association.

4. Outsiders - Heard of the SV term "domain expert"? SV believes in their value but the ones how are going to push for the change are the rebels. This is not really a problem.

5. Gig economy - Exploiting low paid workers to gain market capitalization is totally a feature of the United States as a whole. SV just figured out how to do it more efficiently. You can't do this in a country like Australia where the minimum wage is $20.
I liked internet history, technology and security: https://www.coursera.org/learn/internet-history

It doesn't get very deep in terms of knowledge of networks, TCP/IP stack etc, it's a very lightweight course that's easy to get through, it was my gateway MOOCs years ago, instructor is great and there's great footage from the beginnings of the internet, it feels more like an interactive documentary than an online class.
> It's all about money.

Yes, but not about making money directly from it, but in denying any other plaftform maker an effective monopoly.

Chrome was that for the desktop browser space before it actually became dominant; ChromeOS is an attempt at that for desktop OS; Android is that for mobile.
Apple more than covers their costs by the $99 annual developer fee. 30% doesn’t subsidize free apps, it’s pure profit for Apple.
I wasn’t being snarky, and I’m well aware of real world scenarios. I’ve biked in NYC for over a decade, I’ve worked in transportation and volunteer my time for building safer streets. The majority of drivers I see on the street at looking at phones on their laps, or dashboards where their phone is hanging.

The obstacles you named(visual obstructions) are all also things that should not exist as much as they do in their current forms. Daylighting intersections to improve sight lines, smaller cars to prevent crushing kids and also improve sight lines, narrower streets to reduce speeds are not idealized abstract scenarios. Plenty of countries outside of the USA have this as a reality and a few have achieved 0 traffic deaths, and that is owed almost entirely to street design, not bigger car tires.

‘Shit Happens’, yes. But there are significantly better ways to make ‘shit happen’ less, and make it less deadly for the people outside of a car.

None of these examples work for self hosted scenario where you have one public IP (or a few statically assigned to your server). If you want to host a service the traditional way, you create a virtual host and a reverse proxy to your container (that is on a private network) or a service bound to a local IP. Currently I couldn't find a way to automate that. Let's say that could be done by a LoadBalancer, that is in fact controlling virtual hosts and reverse proxy entries for the pool of available IP addresses. For hostnames, there would be a pool of domains configured to resolve any host to that one IP.
I don't see what you mean by stretched vertically. The square icons are square.
That is so naieve as to be probably a troll?

The rules were changed, removing limits on sizes of banks and lenders, interest rates, how much the boss can skim, treatment of pension funds and on and on and on. All in the interest of, those with money get more money. To the point they have almost all the money.

It's irrelevant how much cash they have on hand. They own the economy, lock stock and barrel. The rest of us can only hope for a small stream to cover our expenses and little else.

This has been covered by literally thousands of articles. I suggest reading something, anything on the subject.

The amount of sleep required depends on the person and their living situation.

I normally feel best on 7-8 hours of sleep. When training hard I require 9 hours.

There are genetic outliers who require less sleep (google it).

Anecdotally: I have a friend who performs like anyone else, but only requires around 5-6 hours of sleep. I've known him for over a decade now, he seems to be doing fine.
It is recommended often because Learning How To Learn is a very fundamental part of your skill set which, sadly, many people either lack or do sub-optimal. Precisely because of that it can contain "obvious" device; because you are already (partly) familiar with it. I find it rather arrogant to say its useless for everyone. Its a fairly quick course, where you can spend more time on aspects if you desire.

This topic about the top Coursera courses or which ones you recommend comes up regularly here on HN.

On top of the mentioned Learning How To Learn I can recommend the following:

Problem I've encountered with building Unix projects on windows is symlinks. Either the build process creates them or worse they'll part of the project itself. Which is really not nice.
Honestly props to you for choosing self-improvement as the route forward instead of railing at the developers for not understanding you.

I would recommend picking a programming language and doing the basic tutorials for it to start, all languages have them.

If you hit upon something you feel the tutorial isn't explaining well, open a new tab, google that specific thing, e.g. "what is a function" / "how does a function work" / "what is a function in python" / "how does a function work in python" until you get the results you want, and read different ones til you find an explanation that makes sense to you. If the tutorial you chose is consistently unclear to you, pick a different tutorial. Use a variety of resources.

Which language kind of depends what you're working on. Python is the lowest barrier-to-entry, probably, but for all I know you're working on an iOS app and maybe Swift would be a better starting point since it's more relevant to what you're doing. Avoid Perl, probably.

Once you've got a handle on the general basics of a programming language, solve some basic problems. Use google to find a list of basic 101 programming challenges that suits you. Solve them.

Once you've got a handle on basic programming, try building a simple app of whatever nature you like. The classic example is a TODO reminder/checklist app, but you can do whatever interests you. The goal should be to pick something that you definitely don't know how to build, thus forcing yourself to learn how. It will involve a lot of googling but you'll find yourself learning rapidly. You'll feel it.

Lastly, StackOverflow is your friend.

Ask HN: How to improve signal-to-noise ratio in comments?
I love HN and I think it's a better than most places on the Internet for sensible discussions.

That being said, I find it frustrating that every topic has the first 2-3 comments be something completely tangential to the point of the submission.

For instance, say there's a submission for "company A buys company B". The often upvoted comments will be about how A will destroy B, B will destroy A or how they both are terrible companies based on anecdotes and lots of personal opinions.

You will often find that the 4th or 5th comment will have a sensible commentary on what that means for the market, the synergies, challenges, etc.

IMHO, the latter should be the upvoted comments because you'll learn something and there's a sensible discussion by knowledgeable people.

One solution is to put the burden on moderation to kind of super upvote those comments. But that doesn't scale. Should HN have "super upvoters" (people whose upvotes add more than just 1 point to the comment)?
B5 was done mostly in HD, they lost a few shots IIRC.
It's not just that everything is on there.

There's also the review system, the workshops, automatic updates, easy browsing, communities, friend lists, customer service (getting refunds is easier than on any other platform) etc.

The competing platforms biggest problems is that they assume that all they need to do is set up a HTTP server to download games from and add a few discounts/exclusives to get a customer base. But their UX is miles behind what Steam offers.
Also, it is free as in beer, and since its very fundamental, that is important. It is also useful for high school students as well. I actually had various of these subjects at high school (in my native language and without these experts though).
True, other things like DNA and training have a much bigger effect.
You used to get asked - what’s your T? Where is your deep expertise, and your breadth. This does (to first order approx) not exist in the valley, most often with successful executives & VCs. “Why don’t you just...” - no acknowledgement of hidden complexity.
Up to 30% of people may have sleep apnea. I recommend everyone to get at least an at-home sleep test. In-lab is much more difficult to get insurance to cover, but you could pay $1,500+ out-of-pocket.

This EPA study[1] (Pg 21) shows tire wear per mile has an inverse relationship to speed, but averages around 0.005g/km - 0.02g/km per tire. (NOTE: their table is per axle, front tires wear twice as fast)

20,000 km would be 100-400g per tire.

EDIT: Sorry, the units in the table shift from km, mi, single tire, axle, whole car, and it took me several tries to get the right numbers.

The nature of the modern right is a perpetual persecution complex. It doesn't matter that we just finished 4 years of a republican president with two of those years including a senate and congressional majority. According to their rhetoric they're still the voiceless, powerless underdogs persecuted by "the system".
This won't work as it doesn't support virtual hosts. For example you cannot provision two services using same port and an IP address. If you have a bare metal server with one IP address you would still have to do e.g. reverse proxy manually which defeats the purpose of having k8s.
I'm with you. Lose the covid. Can find it anywhere else.

Soldered Pb-Free connections don't last as long under what conditions? High-vibe? Large and frequent temperature excursions? High mechanical loading (high-mass components or bulky ones with leverage?) What solder are you using?

I think there's been a learning process since the adoption of Pb-free processes. Solder alloys have improved, package sizes have conveniently shrunk, you have underfill for BGA if necessary. Also when designing for high-vibe or large ∆temp, there's lab testing (shaker table, env. chamber) work that gets done esp. for safety-related hardware

Like, yes, Pb-free has considerations, but so does any other component of a system. I find that I usually don't have to give it much thought these days, and the fracture failures I've seen could have been mitigated by design changes rather than returning to Pb solder.

The Amiga was so far ahead of its time that there hasn't been anything else comparable. I lived through that time and I reference it a lot as well because so many things today are based on the Amiga or still aren't done as well as they were done on the Amiga.
I disagree with your idea that lack of diversity is only a problem for liberals.

It is a problem for everyone is young white males are the ones building all the technology, because then the only problems we'll be solving is that of young white males.

Nobody is arguing that Google or Apple shouldn't make money. People are discouraged because these companies are double and triple dipping into their customers after record gargantuan profits. Google and Apple employees and especially executives enjoy a standard of living in the top 1% of the world. Why do they have to grab an extra $5 here and $10 there from the barista who works at starbucks, or the indie app developer in Bangladesh?
There are so many things about a photo camera that can record video that makes a a workflow PITA for video only shoots. The small form factor alone makes these cameras difficult. There's no rooms for buttons to easily adjust settings. You get at best a single micro-HDMI port. Yes, it is getting better with all of the 3rd party devices that have been created to specifically address the fact that the form factor is so small it would be impossible to use without them. These cameras and their smaller form factor do lend to some very interesting things though, so please don't think I'm crapping on them. Their prices also make them nearly disposable for decent budget shoots meaning much more interesting shots can be captured.

TL;DR Big video cameras have their places that smaller photo-centric cameras can't replace.

I wouldn't be so quick to make that call. That we don't know how to do it does not mean it can't be done and there is some weak evidence (innate knowledge) that nature has indeed found a way to do this, just that we don't understand it.

When using an Insta360 One X with a monopod for long video shooting, the threaded base gets extremely hot. The rest of the camera does not seem to get hot and I suspected that they were intentionally cooling that way. The accessories tend to be metal as well.
As a comment above already mentioned - you should not try to work around and find the size of the physical memory installed because it often has no correlation to the amount of memory available to the kernel (and, to the user).

Interesting, I found the course disappointingly shallow. I did do it soon after it came out, maybe it got much better with time. I also have a background / job in statistics, though not ML as such.

While it does talk through the basics of ML, it is really barely a taster. It doesn’t leave you with any skills, other than, if you buy a book and work through it, you will know what a “decision tree” is ahead of time.

With something like ML, the real value is in the deep nitty gritty, building intuition about methods you use, fighting the unfair battle against broken data etc, and all those things were missing to me.
