Aren’t their chips from Samsung though?
>> Isn't it though? At least if it's intentional.

I suspect what the grandparent refers to is people who are offended at hearing "no." Example - someone asks to get in front of you at a line. If you're feeling kind, you say yes. Saying "no" is just neutral, but many people perceive it as a "fuck you."
> It was such an innovative company back in the 60s and 70s, but unlike IBM weren't able to reinvent themselves in first the new 80s world of PCs and then later internet. Classic case of innovators dilemma.

No, this wasn't it. DEC actually had a quite good PC business which died when everybody died to the Asian manufacturers.

DEC also had plenty of technical stuff as well as cash flow to ride it out.

DEC was purely a result of executive level and board level malfeasance.

After the board forced the founder Ken Olsen (who wasn't a great CEO but actually did have vision) out, Robert Palmer (who had no vision AND was incompetent) (and not the singer--the singer probably would have been better as CEO) was given marching orders to sell off the company. Which he did--with no vision whatsoever. Lots of people tried to fight against it, but any division which started righting itself immediately got flogged off.

The patent lawsuit allowed DEC to jettison a bunch of the fab to Intel which then made them an attractive target to Compaq.

People love to comment that the merger killed COMPAQ when the reality was the entire US domestic PC industry was completely collapsing.

HOWEVER, to give you an idea as to how badly the "hostile giveaway" was managed, Compaq effectively bought DEC for less than their enterprise service annual revenue--about $2 billion per year. HP later milked this stream for more than a decade.

So, in the middle of a PC industry collapse, no executive could figure out how to convert a $2 billion annual revenue stream for enterprise services plus a whole bunch of leading edge technology into a profitable company.

This shows just how shit-tastic the executive management for both DEC and COMPAQ really were.

But, hey, the DEC board got their stock bump and cashed out.

GPT-3 will be remembered and used by no one in no time. Google is already answering questions to queries and also offering alternative queries. It's now in a hybrid state where it tries to answer your stuff but also provide links. Quite interesting and quite usable already. GPT-3 is a cute experiment, nothing more.
I've said this before, but I work on a team of 5 or 6 people. If I (pre covid) sent them a PR and walked over to their desk, told them it was super urgent and a tiny change just needed a rubber stamp, one of them would do it (and I would likely do the same for them). Failing that I can name a handful of developers that wouldn't be familiar with the system but will review my change because I did the same for them a few months ago (and they'll comment on stylistic/clarity issues, rather than the work being done). Even if you think this is rare, it likely isn't and likely happens at every company to some degree.
Disagree. Capitalism is based on goods and services. We are not living in a feudal society where wealth is accumulated by labour. Nobody is picking cotton or growing rice on lands to become wealthy. Those days are gone. Wealth comes from services provided by companies like Facebook and Netflix and Amazon etc.
Looks great! I’ll be trying it out!
There’s no way a US state could have done it, especially with Donald Trump at the helm.

The federal government certainly could have done a lot better. But frankly, even a federal government that didn’t do anything would have been better than the current one which was promoting snake oil, and not promoting wearing masks or social distancing but working actively against them.
Mastodons disappeared from North America ~12,800 years ago, 10,800 BCE, coincident with extinction of 31 other large-animal genera, basically everything except bear, bison, and moose. (A bear much larger than the grizzly disappeared too.)

Unless you believe in people maintaining memories of mastodons for 1800 years, or pareidolia finding an image not really there, we are talking about a structure much older than 9000 years.
I made a similar comment above but it's -all about- that line. AKA boundaries. If you are clear on what's OK with you and what's not OK, then you are liberated to be kind and generous as long as people are on the OK side. If that line is blurry, you end up oscillating between doormat and asshole and it's just an unhealthy place (speaking from past experience.)

I mean, sure, I guess you could take it as literally as "in tim berners lee's original browser version" but frankly, CSS and the ability to reflow the document is so old at this point that getting anal about it not being literally there since the beginning of the web is just silly.

Have perhaps a little bit of charity and assume that what was meant there was "since it was possible".
Oracle Cloud has the best Compute/VM Always Free Tier around (2x 1G RAM/50G VMs), which is likely sufficient for a small matrix/synapse server, so realistically you could do it for zero. I don’t know how much network transfer is included in their free tier, however (I’ve looked but never seen it clearly stated anywhere).
How do you deal with chargebacks/requests from customers who claim that what they paid for wasn't what they got? Will you attempt to mediate this? Do sellers receive a refund of the fee for things that are charged back on? I'm assuming that at a minimum you will not return the stripe fee since you don't get that back either
"The Short"
I would omit most information that can be inferred from context so long as context locality is good.

Single-letter names are OK for context smaller than 1 line (like lambdas), type information can be omitted for context up to 10 lines (lists etc) and generic functions (filter, concat, inner_join) are better over custom domain functions when the audience consists of other programmers.

Abbreviations are best avoided unless they are extremely common and familiar in the specific domain / industry. If they are only ever used within that team and company, that's probably bad.

You're right I probably blew it with that one. I found the building on google maps and there's no cars there.

BUT! What do you think about this one? - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25482504
Look at HP Microservers. They're a nice package and get you ECC too. At least some NAS models can have a normal Linux distro installed as well. And if you're homebrewing a small ITX case will probably be great too. AMD has some parts that are specific to that market that look interesting.
The common crawl is ~270 TiB uncompressed: https://commoncrawl.org/2020/12/nov-dec-2020-crawl-archive-n...

Which would be easy enough to store in 2020, but then you need to preprocess it in a way that is amenable to both search and result ranking. But lets say your indexing is super good and matches the compressed version: 80TiB. Throw that in EBS, and you're paying $6k/month just to store it. You also need CPU, and memory to actually compute from that data though! If we instead use i3 metal instances, you're looking at about $2700/month each, and you'll need 15 of them for 3x replication. $40k per month isn't bad, if you're a startup with VC funding. But... we also need network egress... All this just to be literally the common denominator search engine with zero users.

So, how do your users get to you? In 2020, you have three major sources: browser searches, phone searches and direct traffic. If you want to be in the browsers, you're going to have to pay, and if you want to be default you must pay more than the incumbents who have their business model figured out. And bid at scales of roughly your Series B and C combined. Phone OSes, same deal: you need to be prepared to bid high, and in volume. Direct traffic is basically word of mouth / marketing driven, and for our common crawl search, we can assume is relatively nil. So even search traffic has an acquisition cost, and almost all of the sources run their own search engine that you would need to bid against.

So this point you need to start thinking about revenue, because every query you get literally costs you money. We know that search engine ads work okay, since the user is clearly expressing intent. But those different users have very different values -- someone searching from an iPhone or MacBook Pro is likely more valuable to advertisers than a 10 year old Linux laptop running Firefox with Adblock and a Pi-Hole DNS server. And without traffic nobody's going to bother running campaigns on your platform.

Alternative revenue strategies seem unlikely to work -- Google is free and Bing literally pays users, so subscription seems unworkable. You could try to find a niche, the way DDG has, and perhaps chisel away at market share slowly, but you'd need some content indexed that is unavailable to competitors, and that will come at a price.
Does stripe not charge more than 1% itself? How does the math work out?
> Apple’s change will limit their ability to run personalized ads. To make ends meet, many will have to start charging you subscription fees...

It's pretty audacious for Facebook to try to protect its 42% profit margin / $70 billion yearly profit with a story about the little guy just trying to make "ends meet".
Im pretty sure the standard is not having the virus under control 100% of the time. If you do, it’s almost certainly because you have erred way too far on the cautious side.

The standard is keeping the virus well under control for the majority of the time, ans when you do have a flare up, bringing it back under control before it becomes too bad.

That's a good point! I should add the total cost to the post. I mentioned I use the cheapest Linode server but didn't actually say how much that is. I pay $5/month (USD) for the server (except I got the first two months for free from some promo code I found on another blog), and $10/year (CAD) for carbon offsets. I also paid $5/year (USD) for the domain name I use.

As others have noted yes, very often with dramatic differences by facility directly traceable to head surgeons within departments.

Multiple facilities sharing a common head surgeon, or the same facility after the arrival or departure of a surgeon being strongly detectable in outcomes data, from what I've heard.
WRT to curated directories, in the late 90s when Google came (along with others like Northern Light), it was clear that both directories (Yahoo and Moz in particular) and the established search providers (Yahoo, AltaVista, Metacrawler, etc.) were being overwhelmed.

Yahoo (aka Inktomi) search frequently took multiple pages of to find anything of quality. Curated directories were missing quite a bit. Furthermore, if I remember correctly there was some sort of payola scandal around Moz/OpenDirectory editors.

The market was primed for a better solution, and PageRank provided it.
> I live in New York, which has a basic culture of "hyper aggressiveness." It isn't "rudeness," as so many people like to think of New Yorkers. They can be aggressively kind and generous. They are just aggressive.

This part made me think of this video on the NY subway that exemplifies exactly what you're talking about: https://youtu.be/yVzAC7mLxJw

This guy is doing something extremely kind for this lady that it brings her to tears and yet the way he does it almost seems aggressive and demanding but it's such a nice act!

> The story is very much the story of an investigation, and it's made pretty clear that the central character's story is suspect.

Maybe don't do that in a newspaper (or related media) that purports to be about factual subjects, and keep it in your memoirs. The NYT was Curveball's main outlet (through Judith Miller) so maybe they were just feeling nostalgic.
It has an OS/2 theme, which goes well with the DFM file manager. But it's been a long time since I last used it.
The Best Science Images Of 2020
That the reporter was credulous enough to believe the faker's story to be "most likely" true is the very thing that she needs to answer for.

Sorry, but "sources in US and Canadian intelligence saying they believed he was a member of ISIS" is just not a foundation of evidence, especially since the NYT refuse to describe the sources beyond the vaguest of terms (e.g. we have no idea whether one U.S. source is just agreeing that he's heard rumors from another U.S. source). Do we really need to reiterate the long history of the U.S. intelligence bureaucracy doing things like putting children on the no-fly list?

The main thing that matters is the documentable evidence that the NYT had access to. Like his passport stamps and social media. To quote from the NYT's investigation [0]:

> But far from proving Mr. Chaudhry’s jihadist bona fides, at least one of the pictures was a brazen copy of widely available news photography, The Times’s examination found. The original image had been taken months earlier by a photographer for the official Russian news agency, Tass, and had been distributed by Getty Images, one of the world’s biggest suppliers of photographs...

> Other images Mr. Chaudhry provided as evidence that he had gone to Syria — specifically, snapshots he said he had taken of armed men at the beach, whom he described as his “fellow fighters” — also proved to be identical to photographs that had been posted on Twitter years before by Syrian antiwar activists, The Times’s examination found. And as with other images, Mr. Chaudhry misrepresented — or perhaps didn’t actually know — where, and sometimes when, they had been taken.

So either the NYT went ahead with publishing this full fledged project knowing that Mr. Chaudhry, the subject, had stolen photos and claimed them as his own. Or, they went ahead and accepted his social media photos as evidence, without even doing a cursory reverse image search – which is unconscionable given the severe and immediate doubts raised by Mr. Chaudhry's passport.

Kinda typical for weekend HN.
Good feedback. Visualizations are definitely the most requested feature and something I'm working on. It's a hard problem to distill so many papers (5-150k) down into a usable graph. I've made big ones that look amazing but which are not that useful.

I like the idea of interactive filters to allow the person to explore it visually. I'm hoping to have something people can play with in the next few weeks. I hadn't really expected the site to take off the way it has and so it's not really feature complete yet :)

bloated mess

Same. Setting up v20 for a customer these days. Heavy, slow. Buggy LDAP. Not easily containerized: official Docker image tries to rsync ALL the distribution from /usr to /var/www/html every time your start run the container, and you can't mount individual volumes (e.g. just data), because they keep the config at /var/www/html/config.php

Customer just wants a UI for a filesystem, and I'd gladly replace it if I could.

I completely believe there are differences, but are they really that different compared to areas of similar size in Europe, where you might go through a dozen different languages, different religions, massively varying political party support? And if you look at India or Indonesia, the cultural diversity becomes even more again.
I answered this far above:

The evidence on masks was thin, and limited to use by professionals in a medical setting

You clearly don’t know the history of prop 13. It is untouchable because the last time they increase it, thousands of retirees and seniors on fixed income had to sell their homes to pay the tax. Not everyone is a millionaire in CA. Most of the population is working class and can’t afford raising taxes.

California property values rose dramatically. NY and NJ are the worst places to own property. The whole housing depends on landlords and rent controlled apartments. Where they make money from insanely expensive utilities by strangling the poorest people. It’s a different kind of scam. Upstate NY is a whole different kind of hell with seven months of gray and knee high snow.

This is why there was no Silicon Valley in NY. This is why NY didn't create as many millionaires out of middle class and provide upward mobility to citizens as well as opportunities to immigrants. What’s NY’s GDP? What’s NY’s population? What’s NY’s total state tax revenue?

I’ll tell you. NY’s GDP is comparable to South Korea and is at 1.7 trillion. CA’s GDP is comparable to Great Britain and is at 2.97 trillion(highest in USA) NY population is 8.5 million vs CA’s 39.5 million. As an aside: our Ag income alone is in excess of 50 billion and that’s just 2% of our economy. We also have non millionaires and retired people on fixed income. NY’s taxes were around 73 billion vs CA’s total taxes were close to 450 billion.

NY is swimming in red ink due to deficits shortfalls ..2.8 billion in 3 months due to covid. Our tax income increased. I don’t think NY’s budget modeling is something for CA to emulate ..with all due respect. NY should do what it does and leave CA to Californians to vote and decide. CA is not NY. We are a country on our own. Our problems can’t be solved by anything that works for other states. The struggle is real.

Blind comparison is not useful or helpful.

In my experience GO is not a good language for WASM. The simplest wasm binary you will create, will be at least ~3mb in size, even if it only prints "hello world", because GO will need to embed its internals and the garbage collector in the wasm bundle. In a browser scenario this is not particularly attractive...

It's really a pity especially since Go is marketed as "a better C". So far C/C++ has been the best optimal target for wasm.
Rust on the other hand is extremely promising but I don't have enough experience with it or data to make a case for or against :)

AssemblyScript looks amazing though. One thing to consider is that many times you do not need to make your whole project in wasm. Instead you should find crucial bottlenecks (eg matrix math for light calculations, or some blur operation, or some physics calculation or whatever) and take that part out and put it in wasm. That part may already be written in JS and might be very difficult to rewrite in C (time consuming, web dev team might have weak C skills, tougher to debug). For such a scenario AssemblyScript looks fantastic, and this is actually the most common scenario I 've personally encountered (and sometimes I 'd end up writing asm.js by hand or go and recreate my logic in C...). So yeah, I have not used AssemblyScript yet but there are many pain points that a good implementation could blow away.

edit: what I describe above is for browser scenarios. I have not used wasm outside of the browser (didn't find a reason to, since I can run native binaries compiled specifically for the target OS - why add one more layer of complexity through wasm?). So, outside of the browser, your experiences might be different.
this doesn't make sense logically. If there were 5000 problems, and 4000 of them got solved in the last decade, that would mean everything is demonstrably getting better, yet still leave 1000 problems to be solved.

Just because everything isn't perfect, doesn't mean it's not better than it was, and improving.
That's neither particularly true not in connected to the argument.
