But sites aren't doing that, they're serving up bloated pages with megabytes of JS and rammed with ads. Nothing is stopping them from doing that, and yet they're not. If they were, it's possible amp wouldn't exist (in it's current form)

Also, the parent said there was many things the GP could do, while the GP was talking about as an end user, not a developer. As an end user if my choice is between a fast smooth sleek amp page or a 10 second blank screen and a page that hides the content, has autoplaying videos, and required me to dismiss a 1/3 cookie banner, I'm going to pick the amp version.
That plus a keyword search for words like parked, parking, buy now, etc. Might have similar effectiveness!
> I mean i don't hired on every interview myself as probably everyone does in their lives but i have never been terminated ever.

It's worth getting terminated once to get a peek behind the scenes on how these things work :-)

It likely depends on the company, but it's not that hard to get terminated. Just have a manager that is ruthlessly pursuing his career, and wants you to be a pawn in his quest. When he suggests something that is wrong/suboptimal, then disagree with him. Repeat about 10 times and he'll find ways for you to underperform and fire you.
I think you're overly simplifying the issue. The interesting part here is about why there are these supply issues - are there technical limitations, lack of manufacturing capacity, manufacturing difficulties, supply issues for source materials, transportation problems or costs, etc.

Show HN: Sqwok – A low-cruft, minimalist alternative to Reddit and Twitter
There have been rumors for years that Taiwan has arrangements to quickly destroy critical TSMC technology/equipment in the event of a mainland invasion.

No doubt these whispers are spread deliberately to serve as a disincentive for attack, just like the ghost stories about automated retaliation ("Dead Hand," etc) during the Cold War / MAD era. In this case: "If you attempt to do X in order to acquire Y, a robotic, dispationate, automatic force will see to it that Y is destroyed before you can get to it. Therefore acquisition of Y is no longer a good incentive for X."
Hello HN,

I'm building sqwok.im, a new open discussion site that mixes real time messaging with news aggregation.

I started building this because I wanted an open website for discussing news, science, technology, politics, and other general topics in a modern experience like Slack, with features built for the general user and not enterprise or gaming. I grew up hanging out on aol chat, irc, icq, aim, etc and with those experiences in mind, I'd like sqwok to be minimal, simple, and approachable for non-tech users.

Currently the site works on both mobile and desktop web and supports multiple concurrent logins. That means you can have multiple tabs open and/or be logged in on a phone and desktop at the same time, and the real time features should work.

The core differentiator for Sqwok is that it's built from the ground up for real time. The site is built around real time conversations that are both ephemeral and long-lived -- all posts include a built-in full-featured chat room.

Have something on your mind or what to discuss the latest news? Simply create a post, share the url with anyone, and they will instantly be able to open it, see the active real time conversation, see who is currently in the conversation, and begin talking with a few clicks. The conversation can be rejoined at any time. It also includes the ability to @mention other users and send them an instant in-app notification to join you.

Recently added is a "follow" feature that allows you to follow another user, and then when they are online and in conversation(s), to both see where they are and join them instantly. This lets you find your friends and join them in conversation at any time.

To keep the site razor focused on actual conversation, I've opted to exclude any form of voting. Instead, relevance for "trending" is based on a combination of real time chat activity and time decay. I have further ideas I'd like to explore here to add options for how people find content, but the goal is to mimic the real world as much as possible, and keep the focus on building rich conversations versus invisible feedback loops.

I've created a post on sqwok for this post on HN: https://sqwok.im/p/TE22DNgTPn5P9g

One particular use case that's come up for this is using it to watch YouTube live streams outside of YouTube, or in the case where the YouTube stream has chat disabled, such as the example below. Feel free to try it out by creating a post and simply include the url for the YouTube stream in the post title.

Having been there, I second that. Juggling late utility bills in the middle of winter against having food to eat. If you come through that, it hangs with you forever in ways that others that have not will never understand.

Like you, I am not going for the misery olympics either. Just don't assume that, given my career and place in life now, I am not happy with my perfectly maintained fourteen year old car. I know I can afford a new one, thank you very much. But spending that kind of money, just because I can, does not bring me comfort. People that have never been poor will never understand that.

For me, this is the big one. I've never had ISOs in a company that had an IPO event, but I have had them (over 1% of total equity in one case) in two companies that were acquired. In both cases, there was nothing left once investors and/or founders got paid, so total value of my ISOs was $0.
I wonder if the Matrix protocol can be extended to do realtime document collaboration. I’ve been yearning for end-to-end encrypted realtime collaboration solution via OT or CRDT, I just don’t really have the skills to do the encryption part on my own. The idea would be that the “room” is just a shared document, and the messages are the edits to the document.

This is absolutely the rule. The problem I see a lot is that someone else will come in and want to add an edge case to my generalized code or will try to include edge cases in their "generalized" code. Personally, I have 0 problems with DRY code. I don't even treat it like a requirement but sometimes, I'm trying to code something and I KNOW the code needs to be generalized or at least part of it and that's when I'll spend an hour on a 15 min fix. Effective DRY comes with experience.

I think the real world examples are better than a hypothetical.

Warning: This contains real world footage with examples including troops in a foxhole being precisely targeted by a drone that you can see on film moving into the foxhole with them that then explodes, numerous cases of troops in an open field spotting a drone, running from it and then exploding. Also contains numerous examples of tank and vehicle columns as well as fixed emplacements exploding.

I think we're there. As of 2020, and in particular the Nagarno-Karabakh war it's clear that having more drones than the other side is the key. Number of troops, tanks and gun emplacements isn't as relevant anymore. Mid-sized drones such as the Harop drone trump all of those.

Do you have a link to that percentage of the budget? And also what comprises the investigative journalism budget - if it is primarily for the wages of employees doing the investigating part it seems not that bad in salaries are generally not the largest part of most companies' operating costs (although generally significant)

I would suppose the offices, computers, health benefits for family etc. might not count as part of the investigative journalism budget as well. Or they might, accountants of respective media companies would know I guess.

Ask HN: Astronomical Coincidences. What does it mean?
Having too much time in my hands yesterday evening, I googled various combinations of astronomy, space, coincidences and was intrigued by the number of astronomical coincidences that seem to exist. Has anyone pieced all of them together? Is there some kind of pattern to this chaos?

1. Earth’s radius is 3,960 miles. Moon's radius is 1,080 miles. Add them both for combined radii are 5,040 miles. (rounded off)

Number of minutes in a week. It’s also equal to 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 – also equals 7 x 8 x 9 x 10.

2. Orbital periods of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are 30,000 days, 60,000 days and 90,000 days. (rounded off) They orbit the Sun in a 1:2:3 ratio, if you allow an accuracy of 99.8 percent.

3. https://astronomy.com/magazine/bob-berman/2015/09/just-a-coincidence : [..]I keep finding little numerical coincidences. Like, the number of Earth-Sun distances (astronomical units) in a light-year (63,240) is virtually the same as the number of inches in a mile (63,360). So if you model the Sun as a dot, which would make Earth an invisible speck an inch away, the nearest star (4.2 light-years distant) is another dot 4.2 miles from the first.

Such matchups make it easier to memorize numerical tidbits. The number of seconds in a day (86,400) uses the same digits as the diameter of the Sun (864,000 miles). The half-life of carbon-14 (5,730 years) starts with Heinz’ “57” varieties. The Sun’s mass in grams is the same 10 followed by 33 zeros as its luminosity in ergs. One finds connections everywhere.

> ### How does this group make decisions?

In the early days of the Apache Software Foundation, individual projects were expected to draft their own bylaws. This had the advantage of getting project members to think about hard about the content of the bylaws. However, it had the downside of producing a lot of sloppy bylaws with ambiguous or otherwise unworkable rules. For instance, some bylaws were written to require 3/4 of the all eligible voting members to change them, rather than 3/4 of those who vote — which can become a problem as members with voting privileges go inactive and become unreachable.

Documenting processes by which conflicts are resolved is hard. If you're lucky, most of the time, the rules don't matter as people reach consensus without having to go through exacting, difficult negotiations. But when you really need a formal process to resolve conflict, then it matters if your process is borken and pathological.

The best high-level design is to have the rules for resolving conflicts written by a few specialists who really care about precise drafting, and for most other entities within the organization to inherit those rules whenever possible.
Completely agree. Given the choice between a lightweight non-amp page and an amp page, the choice should be the amp page. But that's not the choice, it's between a shitty bloated slow impossible to navigate (often times one that doesn't scale to mobile well) and a lightweight responsive amp site. The user isn't to blame if the site is making that decision
I would not count AMD out. They're competitive while being a node behind, and unlike Intel they've been able to maintain good cadence with node and architectural improvements.

Let's also not forget that the IO die on the desktop CPUs is at least a couple nodes behind, and is the bulk of the power consumption on the chip.

The Zen 3 APUs (e.g. 5800U/H) are going to be pretty competitive, and I think Zen 4 on 5nm will keep the pressure up.
JetBrains is one of my favourite ever companies! A few years back I switched from Visual Studio + ReSharper to Rider, and haven't looked back - it's such a fantastic, fully-featured, stable product. I have a personal license that let's me use ReSharper, Rider, dotCover, dotMemory (love this!), dotTrace. Some of the best money I've ever spent, and I happily renew year on year. I also love the pricing model that reduces the cost after years 1 and 2 as a loyalty bonus.

And in the main, JetBrains actually seem to pay attention to what customers ask for in their online feedback site.

I'm looking to get into either Go or Rust soon, and I'll definitely be using GoLand/CLion.

For therapeutic proteins you usually work the other way around: You design the shape and try to get a sequence that folds as intended. In other words, the inverse folding problem.

> I wonder how different the path might have been if intel had come up with something for apple.

They kind of tried and failed. Intel is completely stuck in their "x86 is the only way" culture. x86 just can't compete in the low power space. For phones, the x86 power requirements made it effectively DOA.

Sure, Atom could have competed with arm in some markets (small laptops for example, they had some success in the early netbook days), but Intel managed to screw even that up by deprioritizing Atom development - they thought they could make more money in the server space. Short term, not a bad bet, but it wouldn't surprise me if it set Intel's eventual demise in motion. We're starting to see the signs now.
In the 60's there was no consistent standard for this. I remember this being written about in the CACM 1967. Those with access to old copies of the Communications of the ACM can take a look at [1]. Here is the title and abstract:

Towards standards for handwritten zero and oh: much ado about nothing (and a letter), or a partial dossier on distinguishing between handwritten zero and oh, by R.W. Bemer

The Chairman of the ACM Standards Committee, Julien Green, has charged me with making “more effective use of CACM for communication … to get grass-roots opinions from the ACM membership.” This paper is the first attempt.
A partial dossier on distinguishing between handwritten zero and the letter oh is assembled here. This presentation was triggered by a request for guidance in this matter presented by the United Kingdom Delegation to ISO/TC97/SC2, Character Sets and Coding, at the meeting in Paris on 1967 March 13-16. The matter is just now in the province of USASI X3.6, to which comments might be directed.
Comments will be expected within sixty days [by approximately October 1st].

I'm not sure I understand the question, as that's the point of the article. Clinical trials are currently testing mRNA to produce proteins to treat cystic fibrosis, heart failure and various obscure conditions. There are various problems, such as ensuring the the protein is created in the right cells, requiring repeated doses so the protein is created over a long time, handling side effects, and increasing the amount of protein created. So mRNA isn't an easy solution.

The pricing is listed on the website, but it's about 10-20% of that. You would pay around 0.50 per 1000 emails. Depending on how often your users sign in and how long you keep them logged in for the the percentage may be lower or higher.

Not offering SAML/SSO/OIDC etc simplifies the problem a lot allowing me to offer it cheaply. The largest cost is sending the e-mails reliably, for which I am wrapping Amazon SES.
