I’m not sure about math, but in physics it would be string theory which has been a dead end and has mostly served as a welfare program for boomer scientists
The blue state govs shut down or highly restrict small businesses, so what do you expect?
ah thanks. yes, all startups operate "underwater" then. that is the operating model.

as to the use of venture capital, indeed, no investor will ever allow this -- if they have a say. seed stage funding is most often convertible debt, and the investor does not have a say (legally; but you damn well better do what they say anyway). i'm actually quite surprised that a seed investor would be noncommittal on it. however,

1/ that's the other cofounder's problem, not OPs. the way you phrase it is as if the OP is putting the other cofounder out on a limb with an unreasonable request; that is not the situation here.

2/ the other cofounder doesn't have to use capital, they can take on debt (convertible or straight debt).

It's an absolutely wonderful tradeoff if the business will be run better and more efficiently with just the one cofounder. A no-brainer really. Not doing it indicates a scam. In both cases, OP should insist on a buyout. So there's really no difficult decision here -- on OP's part anyway.

Of course with the business being "underwater" we are talking about a personal guarantee on straight debt. So again, how much does the other cofounder believe in the business and that his motives are pure?

The other cofounder can sidestep this whole thing with various shenanigans, however that doesn't mean OP should just submit. A year of OPs life is worth it to stick to his guns, even if the outcome is inevitable. It's not as if OP has to invest any effort to see through his position.

I am starting to become convinced that most VC backed companies either are scammy from the start or quickly become scammy. Basically they are given a lot of money to “disrupt” a market. So they first have to have to show a lot of growth. The easiest way to do that is to offer for free (or deeply discounted) what used to cost money. So the growth numbers go up. Eventually, they need to be able to start showing a profit. However, the original, most obvious way of monetizing customers is gone, so then the company begins doing shady stuff to try to boost revenue.

> that's an extreme and a bit pointless, imo.

I understand the confusion. I was talking about the current situation where you cannot run your own server or even choose amongst servers.

It is pointless if you can view the source-code of that server, but have no way to check if the one server that you can ever use, runs that code at all.

It makes sense in a federated or decentralised setup, where you can run your own servers, choose instances, or even build your own version of the client with other backend-urls baked in. For Telegram all it offers is validation that the code is good, or not good. Without any power to do anything about that.

I think he’sa bit harsh on himself here, both have their own value!
I am a physicist, and I would say that, perhaps, you don't understand why we "waste" money on high energy physics. It's very similar to the reason why rich people buy useless status symbols, when they could instead buy useful things. It's essentially telling everyone, "I am so rich I don't care about money anymore and can afford to waste some of it on this useless thing".

In science, we as a society throw money at something like high energy physics, because we are telling ourselves, "We love knowledge so much, that we will throw it at high energy physics, which has little economic benefit to us" [1].

In other words, you can't prove that you love knowledge for its own sake, if you only invest in fields which have economic benefits. You have to invest in fields with no benefit, to prove to ourselves that we still care. That has deep and lasting philosophical impact on society.

[1] If you read grand funding agencies internal documents, you will learn that the primary economic benefit of fields like high energy physics is training people on hard problems, who will then go and apply those skills and raise the bar in other fields.
I can second this!

The TB16 works alright after updating it to the newest firmware, but still has it's quirks. For example, my mouse lags / cuts out briefly, now and then (I plug it in direct).

The TB19 I use when working from home appears to have little to no issues (none that I can think of right now).

The Reuters article says exactly the opposite. If you have documentation that this policy has been in place but ignored, I think that would have a big impact on this unfolding story, it definitely strike me as newsworthy.

The Reuters article clearly refers to this as a new change in policy and procedure.

"Google’s new review procedure asks that researchers consult with legal, policy and public relations teams before pursuing topics such as face and sentiment analysis and categorizations of race, gender or political affiliation, according to internal webpages explaining the policy."

"Studying Google services for biases is among the “sensitive topics” under the company’s new policy, according to an internal webpage. Among dozens of other “sensitive topics” listed were the oil industry, China, Iran, Israel, COVID-19, home security, insurance, location data, religion, self-driving vehicles, telecoms and systems that recommend or personalize web content."
I'm glad it works for you, but dedicated individual action by someone especially capable and focused on the topic isn't a solution to systemic problems like this. Indeed, hero stories are often used to diminish problems. Systemic problems need systemic solutions.
Removing them from your watch history can often fix this.
There's a big difference between something that's possible with some effort (i.e. compile the Linux kernel from source, compare the binaries with what ships with your distro), and it doesn't need to be you personally that does it. If a distro has 100k users, only 1 of them has to discover and make a scandal out of it. Projects like Debian take it even further and make a promise that it should be easy to reproduce the builds of their packages.

That's literally impossible with any closed-source server-side software. You can't even inspect the binary as you can with a client.
As other people mentioned, egpu container.

For what it's worth, I didn't find this to be, well, worth it. I got a razer egpu enclosure and while it was certainly very well engineered, it was comically over-engineered. Weighed something crazy even without my gpu in it, I wanna say 10lbs, maybe even 15. Plus, it was huge, as big as an itx case. Then I had to drop 60$ on a long enough thunderbolt Cable to let me have the case under my desk.

Then there was all the issues with plugging in a laptop. Windows on a lenovo x1 carbon worked fine, with plug in/out capabilities. Ubuntu 18.04 on same machine wasn't plug and play, but I got it working after about an hour of fiddling. Never got plug in/out working. Plug in worked, but unplug without shutting down lead to a crash.

All this and the enclosure was like 300$, and I was bottlenecked by my laptop processor anyway. In the end I think it's just simpler to buy that expensive graphics card you're looking at, then build a simple pc around it, and then make use of some kind of network based workflow for data sharing (git server for your code, networked hard drives for video, photo, music editing etc. Much easier, much more flexible, and imo in the end cheaper.
There isn’t this problem in the south. Traditionally the rice bowl. India used to grow rice according to the monsoons. Rice was grown twice a year. The vindhya range was a buffer and bought rains from monsoon clouds. I don’t think it’s even feasible to grow rice at this scale in northern indian. It’s more wheat country.

Indian farmers with tractors and GMO seeds and followed by pesticides and herbicides have been made to feel like super farmers and especially bolstered by green revolution.

The green revolution was a disaster. It is NOT possible to increase yields without causing imbalance in the eco system, resource availability and resultant domino change/impact.

This is all very tragic. The green revolution was a quick shot in the arm. Coaxing increased yields from soil should be used as an emergency measure..like a shot in the arm during times of need. It’s not sustainable over long periods of time supporting billions.

It gives the false security of abundance and the underlying system will collapse because the soil is a living organism. It cannot bear this chemical warfare we are waging upon it.

I remember. I killed my computer once with adware to the point where I needed to reformat my drive and reinstall everything. It sucked, but it taught me to always pay attention to installers and not to just randomly install anything and everything.

I've also helped other people deal with these problems before. I found that aftwr taking the time to show them how they end up inatalling that crap, the kinds of things to avoid and setting them up with some removal tools they tended not to make the same mistakes.
Politicians like having an "expert" advocating stuff they want. A scientist is the perfect "expert", as he appears, for most, as intrinsically expert and objective/neutral.

Hence some scientists happen to recommend things (ways to solve a practical problem) and are used by some politicians (through mass-media) who promote those things (far various reasons), and silent counter-arguments from other scientists. Note: consultants also often act as such "excuses", forking a "report" recommending actions which were secretly planned before their mission began.

Those scientists may shoot themselves in the foot by doing so if, as I believe, their job is to explain how things work (nothing more).
It really isn't. He lied. Normalize calling out corporate executives when they lie.

I wish he hadn't. I'm disappointed that he did. But I don't know how else to describe sharing statements one knows (or should know) to be false.
It would lose its charge over time, yes. Just like any other laptop that's left unplugged.

If he's taking the laptop with him then that's not really an issue and if he wants to use it docked he'd just plug it back into the dock, though.

How does your recommendation algorithm idea handle channels that have no other channels listed in their Channels Section? How does it handle suggesting small or new youtubers who likely don't have themselves in anyone else's Channels Section?

I just did a small random sampling of my own subscriptions, and I'd say about 30% or more have no channels listed in their Channels Section. And of the ones that do, it's all much larger youtuber's in their own circles that I'm usually already aware of.
You could enable wake-on-lan on it!
Even as guest Youtube wants to do the recommendation algorithm it's great what can I say besides privacy is the last thing they're worried about anyways. They're almost like: You know you're being monitored, don't worry about it we'll get you some great videos along the way.
Parallels between system scalability and the Dialectics of Nature

If you try to derive which framework is used based on global variables then you'll miss the ones that don't pollute the global namespace like that but just use closures etc. E.g: most modern frameworks+toolkits like React+Webpack as far as I know.

> if it takes you longer than 15 minutes a week to do this ... I have to wonder at your wardrobe

Consider a large family with multiple children, a humid environment where towels have to be washed often or they smell, plus the safety precaution of washing outside clothes more often to eliminate any possible coronavirus, then you have the recipe for a full load of laundry almost every day. It easily adds up to way more than 15 minutes a week.
Hey, author here. The term "design tokens" has been around for awhile now, not a new term or one I coined.

You're pretty much right -- tokens are just variables, they point to primitives. The hard part about getting tokens right is deciding on a specification that teams across your company can agree on. There are many benefits to adopting a shared specification: themeability, easier rebranding. etc.

I'm giving an example that uses JavaScript and Styled Components, but this can be accomplished with CSS variables if desired.

You can read more about it here if you're interested in a more detailed look: https://maecapozzi.com/design-tokens/
Serverless type things are totally fine if you’re into that. But it can be nice to just have a simple backend running on a server. No different services to think about, just simple code. For me Django is the way to go because I’ve been using it for years, for others it might be some other language/framework. You should most definitely continue to do you, but for me that’s what works.

A good reason for using btrfs over zfs is that btrfs is available by default on the Linux kernel, while zfs is only available as a third-party out-of-tree module, with all the usual problems out-of-tree modules have.
> As a user, I just want to have a better algorithmic timelines, with no harmful personalization that cage us in our filter bubble

The solution to that, in my opinion, is and has been to just stick to the classic chronological timeline with customizable filter or priority options given to the user. The algorithmic shenanigans every big social media company performs will always lead to them trying to force us to see what they want us to see, or to maximize outrage and engagement without regard for actual quality.
I feel Spotify makes a half decent jab at identifying moods with their "Daily Mixes" feature. Right now for me it's identified 6 sort of genres that I listen to.

It didn't identify that one of them is hip hop, and the other one is dutch hip hop, which obviously to me are the same genre, but that's alright.

It's got a classical music mix, one for rock, one for soundtracks and one for electronic/lo-fi.

It would've been cool if it knew to group electronic/lo-fi, classical and soundtrack together as my background work music, but I'm not sure how it would've learned that as normally I have to pick one of those genres while working, I have no playlists that mix them.

But I hope some of HNers illuminated me.

I don't do React/vue .

Only SRR + some javascript (modals, effects, etc).

What I am missing? Serious question, Am I missing TOO much or maybe 20% productivity?

1. I am a one man shop doing Django sites, SRR only.
When I need to interact with front end for more "Reactivity" I use javacript + a view exporting json.

2. About admin: It is good for me or the operator but I dont feel like my user should be using it?

Then I do my own "admin" for the customer.

Please what I am missing?

The #1 I feel once you have 2-3 they may make sense (separating functions).

The #2 the community answer was : "Not for user, only staff or operator and not for general consumption"

I would glad hear your points.

Thank You
You do know that Foxconn has over 800k employees around the world? And that they manufacture a huge amount of the electronics we all use every day.

For some reason the notion of Foxcon == Apple manufacturer has stuck in the public consciousness, mostly because it brings in the sweet sweet clicks just by having "Apple manufacturer <bad thing>" in there.
The video shows car racing, astronaut space walking, iron smithing, a baby in a uterus and other human feats. Certainly it's not suggesting that KFC did those.

But who knows that? It's poorly documented, obviously, as I'm a big Telegram fan, and this is the first I've heard of it.
Yeah I recall when the movie came out lawyers were saying it didn't work the way the movie depicts it, but I didn't remember the details.

I assume in real life she could be found guilty of killing the husband in modern day, a separate crime from killing the husband in the past.

OJ is a good example, but different than in the movie since there's only one murder back in 94, not two supposed murders on two separate events.
The 80's still could have averaged one an hour even if the worst year was 92.
So don't use Django is your advice to people interested in using Django?

Django's frontend rendering is still a major part of the framework, so advising everyone not to use it in a post about Django is a bit misgiving.
Interesting. "Design tokens" is a widely-used term in the design systems field.
Sure yeah, would I rather just have full-on admin access granted through some web dashboard to deal with it myself? Of course. I'll be the first to sign up for AWS Broker when they release VPBs.

But between having a rep proxy my account needs, or zero recourse for dealing with my account problems? I'm happy to make the phone call.
Here are some CSS selectors I block on YouTube to remove recommendations and other annoyances:

div#secondary
.videowall-endscreen
.ytp-pause-overlay
.iv-promo-video

.ytp-button

That first one is super-nice -- using that, I no longer need superhuman self-control to prevent my brain from falling into a YouTube black hole powered by millions of iterations of A/B testing targeted at my lizard brain. I just watch one video and then... close the tab.

>Then my software will go look for the channel section of each channels to look for other channels there. This has the effect of building a deep tree of different channels related to each other through the channel section. The user will only have to specify how many layers of the tree he would like to have so the algorithm can stop there.

Your proposed algorithm wouldn't work for me because the majority of the good videos I'm exposed to in education/science come from channels that are not listed in the channel sections of my subscribed list.

E.g., here's a channel about machine learning that doesn't list any other channels: https://www.youtube.com/c/YannicKilcher/channels

Here's another machine learning channel that doesn't reference any other AI channels: https://www.youtube.com/c/K%C3%A1rolyZsolnai/channels

Neither of the above channels reference each other but both have videos that are relevant to my interests.

Because the Youtube algorithm didn't depend on building a "channel tree" from whitelisted channel listings, it can suggest quality videos from both of those channels that your algorithm would miss.
Diaspora and Mastodon (among others) are there fwiw.
I have no idea what you are referring to.
This has never ended badly for consumers.

Real-Time AI for Customer Service
I see a lot of comments here (and some in the YouTube recommendation thread currently on the front page) suggesting sometimes a Rube Goldberg-esque series of behaviors to trick the algorithm into performing properly. I see this mentioned as "easy" and "trivial". I consider it "abrasive" and "tedious." The algorithms should work through normal use of the app. I shouldn't have to tell an app "Ignore this one-off piece of content I reached through an external link that is different from all the other content I've enjoyed and especially different than what I've searched." If I get to the point where I have to curate at that level of detail, what's the point?

It's less work to do what I've been doing all along: get recommendations from friends, family, articles, collabs, biographies, etc. (And it's a lot more fun.)
