I think a mix of conformity and independent thinking is important. Conformity is hardwired into us, and I assume that came from evolution as a means to help our survival, though I can't say I understand to what extent. I remember an off hand remark a friend made, but it says a lot: "If people see someone riding a Segway, they will go and beat him up." First, I think that is hilarious. Partly because it is true. This says a lot about our nature. Maybe this urge helps us work together? Of course, a certain amount of new thinking is needed too, or else we wouldn't get anywhere.

I think it's still possible to go against conventional narrative on HN and get upvoted, but one needs to word one's comments with an extraordinary amount of extra care, completely stripped of sarcasm or confrontational tone, remaining objective even when under personal attack - in short, one is held to a much higher standard (in terms of quality and substance of comments) than those posting conventional opinion.

They're really no different from other companies hiring foreign nationals. Sometimes, however, with startups, USCIS wants to make sure that it's a real business and will ask for evidence of this in the form of client contracts or letters of interest, funding, products or product development, etc.
You can easily define it, that's what I meant saying that you can do the same things in practice, but it's not usually defined (at least in the books and articles I've read), and certainly it is not so ubiquitous as in DFs texts. And, of course, the exterior product is contained in the geometric product. I guess that, in the same way, you could define a geometric product operator when using a DFs formulation. Would you then say that geometric algebra occurs in differential forms?

In any case, you did not attempt to answer my original question. Are GA and DFs just different ways to define "equivalent" concepts or is there some more fundamental difference that I am missing?

I'm guessing a lot of his readers somewhat identify themselves as nerds?

And sad to say, quite a few of the nerds I know / knew have some raging superiority complexity going on. Same type of people that put down anyone that spent their HS or College years partying / social life / etc., rather than "perfecting" some worthwhile craft, like software development, writing, or whatever.

Not saying that PG is like that, at all - but those are some of the people that flock to his writing, because PG is a successful person that's constantly validating their own beliefs about themselves.

They are nerds - they made all the right decisions, and are all unique geniuses, while the normies are just stupid sheeple that waste their lives on social media or watching TV.

~12kg for anyone wondering. Minimum bicycle weight in the Tour de France is 6.8kg (~15lb). It's possible to make bicycles significantly lighter than this, but most manufacturers don't because of the rules of the Tour.

I do recommend to anyone who hasn't done it yet to take a moment and marvel at the technological accomplishment that is the bicycle. The car takes far too much credit but ultimately it can only work by burning fossil fuels. The bicycle, on the other hand, is a machine weighing less than 7kg, that is up to 99% efficient and enabled a human to travel 5x faster than walking with no extra energy required.

Adding an electric motor to a bicycle removes much of the elegance for me. But still better than cars when it comes to moving sacks of meat around, of course.

PG has a high degree of believability to me when it comes to the topic of innovation, which makes it all the harder to square his assertion that a successful way to innovate is to be unaware of convention with my experience that you simply can’t even begin to innovate until you know the state of the art in a field.

I’ll have to think a lot about this, because it’s something important to me, and what he’s written here is very different from my experience and understanding, but I trust his history of accuracy, so I can’t just dismiss it.
You know your own workflow better than any of us.. but I'd also be willing to wager that you're losing minutes responding to inquiries about your true availability in return for not losing seconds clicking "accept" or "decline" on meeting invites.
I have an older ebike with a large battery and it is outrageously heavy and hard to handle for everything except the actual ride. Perhaps there’s a market for people who want an ebike that’s a little easier to get up apartment stairs? For riding I don’t see a need.
This is incredibly true. Cutting soda (I was drinking diet soda) out of my diet has really changed how I taste.

I used to love crappy sour gummy candy, and I can't stand it anymore. It's far too sweet, and there's not really a remarkable flavor beyond syrupy sweet and a vaguely fruit-like flavor. It doesn't even taste like really sweet fruit to me, the sweet and fruit flavors seem disjointed.

I do have a sweet tooth for fruit smoothies, though, which are probably not a ton better in terms of sugar content. I do no sugar added, but there's still a ton of sugar in enough fruit to blend and fill a cup. Hell, even cheese tastes sweet to me sometimes, depending on the kind of cheese.

The crossover point is roughly at the 40th percentile. Which explains why the American system is politically stable.
There are lots of good suggestions in other comments, but there is one thing I don't see that's really important.

A lot of these "large ideas" are really large. Like the amount of work they take is the amount of work it took to get through college, or master your profession, etc. More time than most people can afford to spend.

So the first thing to do is learn how to use the work other people have put in to answering the question. Learn how to judge the reliability of sources. Get to know the structure of the existing discussion of the issue. Look for ways to take advantage of existing knowledge in related areas to shortcut those tasks.

If you get good at those things, you'll at least get better at understanding the real complexity of the questions you're asking. You'll still do your own thinking, but realize that you're not in a position to just jump into that. You need to learn the context first. As other comments noted, you likely don't really even understand the question yet.
This thing with the network is an excuse. If I need to pass by most of the captchas, I just need to login in a GMail account. Somehow, this makes me a human according to Google.

>Toronto has a third of all construction cranes in North America

Toronto can have all the cranes in the world and it won't really matter because construction industry cannot keep up.

I think the city(not GTA) has grown 500k in the past 20 years (2.5M -> 3M), condo units only increased 200k (100k -> 300k), other new housing marginal.

The fundamental problem isn't even that there's too much demand, but the west are incapable of building. If we're going to outsource manufacturing abroad, domestic agriculture to migrant farmers, might as well import some Chinese construction who can build a million unit ghost city in a few years.

E: post too fast

@dghlsakjg

The only saving grace in Toronto condo construction is many of them maybe as shoddy as Chinese construction and hopefully will fall into disrepair and replaced before their life spans.

>Chinese building practices assume a certain disposability

That's Japanese residential construction. Chinese construction meme is lack of quality control which implies durability problems. But it's a meme, housing stock too new to really generalize on. My personal experience (worked adjacent industry in both markets) is some of the Toronto new constructs are experiencing much quality issues sooner than Chinese developments. Chinese build so much that they can build well if incentivized too. In terms of cheap, fast, good... Canadian developers simply don't have a fast mode... nor a cheap mode... and frequently not even good. China can at least get you fast & cheap or fast & good.
I was JUST thinking about this last night. I’m always saving articles to Pocket and I spent like 20 minutes last night trying to find a way to sort that content and gave up because it seems you can’t.

A typical bicycle rider only exerts about 100W. A bike with a 250W motor will more than triple your output. I don't know why this rig is limited to 20 MPH, other than they must have wanted to qualify for "class 2" regulation. It is probably powerful enough to act as a class 3 bike, with a software change.

As a recent immigrant to Canada it sort of terrifies me how irrational the market is. That said, I'm buying a house. I moved from Seattle and it is utterly bizarre to me that housing in Vancouver is more expensive than Seattle, while also offering significantly lower pay.

My hot take is that most of the rulemakers (politicians), are property owners, and are unwilling to take the drastic steps needed to put the brakes on.

My solution is to take drastic steps to increase supply. The empty homes tax in Vancouver was a good step for rentals, but I think it should be punishingly high since I suspect that cheating is rampant. I also think that the permitting and building process should be inverted; any project that follows zoning rules should allowed by default, and it shouldn't take months or years to get permitting approved.

If I'm allowed to go hog-wild I also think that anyone that supports historic 'character' neighborhoods should have to live the full historic lifestyle. If you fight density on 'historic' grounds you should also be forced to sell your price for the 'historic' price, use 'historic' appliances, and earn 'historic' pay.

One of the great things about docker is/was that one can develop locally and the same thing would run when deployed. Having to run it on a distant machine kind of ruins this.

That's great, if you're doing something that will fit in a laptop. But I think the OP's point was that people using large datasets, complex workflows, or multiple projects, his method makes sense and saves money on buying new hardware.

For example, the web site I'm going to putz with today is many GB larger than the unformatted capacity of my laptop's SSD.
Ha, you jest, but you bring up a subtle point. There are degrees and dimensions of similarity. For example, two people who uphold a principle of freedom of speech may nonetheless completely disagree on any particular issue. But they are very similar in an important way.

The way I prefer to look at this is: hire people who you are comfortable giving a sizable stake of your company to. If properly motivated an employee can then decide what is "enough" and "too much" work.

Good decision making, forethought, and acceptable risk taking are much more valued by me than "ok with working 80hr weeks".

He's full of it. I work for the paycheck and nothing more. My free time is mine and not for your company which I won't ever see a dime on. Founders are the only people who make money at startups if even that. I can get more RSUs at an established company that actually vest than a fancy notion that they might if I work like crazy.

There are some studies that say working 5 hours a day is more productive than working 8 or 10 or 16 like this idiot is suggesting.

As you get older you realize a mission statement is a means to cajole the more inexperienced to buy into your widget or service. Those who have seen it all before know it's bogus BS to try to burn people out. I come in, do my job, then clock out. It's not about 'giving a it', it's about living life and work isn't life.
You would need to continue to work in the same field, although this is very broadly defined and generally just not an issue, and although you can port your green card application to your own company, USCIS will want to make sure that this company is real and doing business.

I have a friend who lives in Paris as a hotel worker. He was able to take two weeks off to visit his girlfriend in NYC and enjoy his time here. It wasn’t a huge event he had to save up for.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe there is no universe where an American worker could do the reverse (fly to Paris for two weeks to enjoy themselves, without needing to plan it for years).

The point is, the basement standard of life in France is not close to the basement standards of the US.
I found "Geometric Algebra for Electrical and Electronic Engineers" helpful: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6876131

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we explicate the suggested benefits of Clifford’s geometric algebra (GA) when applied to the field of electrical engineering. Engineers are always interested in keeping formulas as simple or compact as possible, and we illustrate that geometric algebra does provide such a simplified representation in many cases. We also demonstrate an additional structural check provided by GA for formulas in addition to the usual checking of physical dimensions. Naturally, there is an initial learning curve when applying a new method, but it appears to be worth the effort, as we show significantly simplified formulas, greater intuition, and improved problem solving in many cases.

Having the electric motor for assistance up hills makes cycling significantly easier and more accessible. It's claimed that you can turn up at work without breaking a sweat. Also laziness.
You've asked a top-down question. Have you considered a bottom-up approach? What's the citizen's point of view? From their point of view, maybe the best organization has a little chaos thrown in.

You can break it down into smaller problems. You can also assemble all of the individual problems into a large problem.

Very interesting study, but it's important to mention that all participants (n=30) had type 2 diabetes. I'm really wondering if stress played a bigger factor in their blood glucose levels, which has been observed to cause a release of glucose from organs into the blood. In this study participants played video games for 90 minutes after drinking the test beverage. I think playing video games can be very stressful for a lot of people, they also switched games every 15minutes. Participants also knew that the beverage might contain sugar, which if your a type 2 diabetic might be enough to cause stress(?). In figure 4 they show the effect on the blood glucose levels for the low vs high sugar beverage groups.

I think an easy way to learn about the effects on ones own body for this is to buy a blood glucose meter and test themselves before and after drinking beverages with artificial sweeteners.
Questionable proposition considering the suburban GTA has grown an insane amount as well, even with greenbelting in place.
By definition a populist claims to be promoting the rights and power of the people against a privileged elite. In many cases this involves instructing proles not to listen to any other views and especially not any criticism of their movement since these are falsehoods promoted to serve the interests of the elite, and sometimes flat out telling them what the popular will is supposed to be...

Lower effort means easier commutes and less sweat. That can be very useful for an office worker without a shower or time for a shower at the other end. Easier to take hills and such as well.
No, I would say differential forms occur in geometric algebra, not the other way around.

It's an interesting counter example. I don't consider myself much of a wine connoisseur (I rarely drink at all).

I do like to pay attention to it a little from a business perspective. It's one of so many interesting case studies of the differences between the perception of how it works and is owned and how it actually is.

It doesn't hurt that I actually spent a bunch of my teenage years picking grapes in a wine region in Australia. The fact that I can follow them from how their grown and fill in the ownership of the wine companies and the marketing.

Case in point, I'm in Estonia at the moment and among the Australian Wines on sale here is Yellow Tail. In Australia however it doesn't have much of a reputation. IMO It's not what you would pick if you were looking for a 'nice' local Australian wine. Yet it has global distribution and reach (I've seen it elsewhere as well).
It's weird how human behavior mirrors scientific basis without pre-existing knowledge. It seems Roman Law required, exactly, 4 degrees of familial separation.

The information overflow cannot be managed. I am not saving anything to Pocket. I do not open more than 10-15 tabs (by all means, I do not _persist_ tabs; the browser should start with a single empty window). For me, this is the only way to keep my sanity. I always want to read less, not more. For me, as an ADHD person, reading something even remotely interesting is a full scale addiction. I don't need to enable it more.
It is generally good to depend on well-tested, large and reliable libraries. I have done the code-it-yourself thing to smaller libraries, though. The quality of the maintenance work done on smaller libraries is by no means guaranteed. They can acquire bugs at any point in time and when they do it may be best to just replace them by home written replacements.
This is kind of covered in that manifesto itself in that you only go down the road of making something yourself when the tools you use no longer match your use case.

A lot of tools will be fine or meet your goals, such as your OS. If your OS doesn't match your goals then you're left with the three options detailed. In the case of an OS, the "big" OS's probably meet most people's general computing needs. It's not uncommon to write a custom "OS" for embedded devices. Some people do feel like making their own OS and there are plenty of examples out there of them and that's perfectly fine.

Anything like this is also not written as law. Your text editor annoys you under these certain conditions? You don't have to rewrite it, fix it, or switch to another editor. If you're compelled to write a replacement, it shouldn't be stigmatized which rewriting existing software frequently is.
Using your example, my personal approach would be:

1) Figure out how to organize a democracy of 10 people.

2) Once you got that down, bump the number to 100 people, and identify / solve any new problems that arise.

3) Bump the number again to 1000. Rinse & repeat until you get up to 100 million.

In simpler terms, break the problem / idea into something you can confidently solve in a reasonable time frame, even if the first step (ie. "how to organize a democracy of 10 people") seems far removed from the end goal (ie. 100 million people).
