Twitter is becoming the outsourced helpdesk of those poor, shoddy transnational corporations. Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc are too poor and incompetent to run a helpdesk that could actually help anybody, but Twitter can. They should raise a fee from those companies for their services.
How I got offers from Amazon, Microsoft, and Bloomberg
Maybe you are pursuing a different point than mine, but my own point was about alienation, not supererogation. I don’t put EA proponents on such a lofty pedestal.
Yeah, I think they are overstated. The status quo should be questioned and forced to justify itself, but not just ignored thoughtlessly. We should move fast and tolerate risk when the cost of delay is very high (like thousands of people dead per day) but not when it's low.
"There are currently no plans to publish the source code either. Those who are hungry can use any disassembly tool, there is nothing supernatural in the program code."[1]

this seems kind of strange. does MIT lic. permit that the source code be withheld?

I would be very interested to take a look at your DNA and see what SNPs you have that might cause this. Very interesting.

OS X doesn't have to sell it hard because they already did, and succeed, when they onboarded you on IOS.
No, Go comments are just comments. They have been used though to add meta-information to special tools. So unless you use those tools and require to add the specific meta-information, you can treat comments as plain comments.

Hiding certain meta-information, like exporting a function with a C-compatible signature when building a shared library is not a great way of doing things, but on the other side, it is a special usage which isn't part of the language itself, so not part of its syntax.
> Developers would target one of these runners for their app, depending on needs (performance, GUI libs provided, security guarantees, etc), and tell you which app runner you need for the app.

We had this. ActiveX, Flash, Director, Air, Silverlight, Java. It was a mess, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find very many folks who found it desirable.
Hopefully they will explore tiling window manager concepts further.

I think one area for productivity improvement is to make it easier to split screen between apps. Of course it’s doable already, but could be better and easier.
Same. I know Apple does software/tactile interactions (firm press, click sound on trackpads for instance) so I assumed this had to do with that, and that new Apple keyboards created an artificial click. "Mutes your call while typing" or something similar would have been more clear. I assumed this app wouldn't apply to me, but it does.

You do realize the U.S. does that on a regular basis right? So do its Gulf Wahhabi allies in the region.
I agree, windows 7 was doen well and it was a successful os. Following that is the distaster of Win 8 and the irrevocable disaster windows 10 is. There really is no hope to get a better version every other 2 iterations of windows
Three years after launching, Haven ends healthcare venture
So the account was created 34 days ago and he's posted that same message 4 times already.
I look upon this and despair. How are average folks supposed to trust and use these things? It feels like NPM all over again. I keep seeing these kinds of things across modern tech stacks/languages and wonder why some brainiac has not looked at this in a more general sense of a trusted supply chain and audit/update process approach to fix this or come up with some transformational approach that at a conceptual level can be applied across languages and tech stacks.
Except that the LED is usually not hardwired, but controlled by another microcontroller, which gets an on/off message from the camera micro, which is connected via USB as a UVC device. The LED is often directly controllable via the UVC interface.
A street cleaning ticket in SF is $79 and is probably one of the cheapest fines you'll pay.
Interesting how it’s good for energy production but not for the environment despite the environment producing energy.
I really like having sunlight after work, but as a teenager in high school, we had "zero hour" marching band practice before the sun rose, and over one hundred students had no problem making rehearsals.

I think making the argument that everyone should be forced to cater to a special interest group is not the way to go, and I strongly believe that school start times should be adjusted, and work shifts should be flexible too. Too much regimenting with a one size fits all approach is the problem, not DST
Would you mind disclosing which lender you went with to get 2.0%? Are you paying points? I'm using Better.com for a refi in CA also but the "best" I can get is 2.625% with 0.053% ($330) in closing costs. They don't even list 2.0%

Edit: Better.com is actually listing 2.0% rates but with $9,100 in points, based on my property and location in CA.
Agreed, you can see this now with them using big tech platforms to try to get Americans to believe you can't trust elections (replacing who's in charge every 4 years, yikes!), don't trust journalists, vaccine isn't safe (can't have the US bouncing back too fast), and ubiquitous surveillance is the only way to stay safe.

Hopefully YouTube and Twitter figure out the game they're playing and put a stop to it.
It's necessary but insufficient.
It's almost like things related to healthcare shouldn't be privatised because then their interests are directly related to profit as are their disinterest such as the lives of soon to be unemployed (see: deceased persons) revenue streams (see: human beings)
If only a subset of shareholders are suing, e.g. shareholders who bought shares between date X and date Y, they are only losing a fraction of a dollar in share value for every dollar they win in the lawsuit. They are gaining at the expense of shareholders who are not part of the lawsuit.

(Ignoring court fees.. the suing shareholder is paying court fees on both ends, could end up being net negative.)
If I wanted to start a microgrant program, I wonder how much effort and overhead there is to set it up and run. Anyone have experience with this?
SSC is Slate Star Codex, a blog formerly maintained by psychiatrist Scott Alexander. He took it down in advance of the New York Times publishing an article about it.
Like I said... The problem was that they never made enough of them because they didn't believe the market existed.

Note that Tesla is also losing money on the Model 3 (and indeed, all models of Teslas) when using the same accounting practices as other automakers. Tesla only has high margins when using non-standard accounting.
I'm no expert, but I have a little experience with sound mitigation.

IME, the effort needed to reduce unwanted noise depends a lot on the frequency range.

Very roughly speaking, dampening high-frequency sounds can be done with relatively thin and light sound-absorbing materials. Lower-frequency noise, including vibrations that shake the building's superstructure, require more extensive modifications.

It would be awesome if an actual acoustic engineer or architect could weigh in on this.
Finally a Good GUI for YoutubeDL
Hello, I have been using youtubeDL for a year or so now, almost daily, and honestly, using the command prompt is so unwieldy, and all GUIs I found are either bloated or missing features (mentioned in the link)

I made this tool, free for everyone, so people like me can download any video, to bypass censorship

Yes, there are other video downloaders, but none are near this good. Aside of the expected casual features, you can put arguments on the input line (e.g. download only vids with over 1000 views) and it also automatically pastes your clipboard once you open/focus it, if it detects a video URL, saving you the trouble of clicking and pasting.

Obvious disclaimer, I am its creator, but I can promise you my shilling is not without something worthy to back it up. I hope it's useful :D
It's an issue. But in that same world, it is the population, the citizenry, that controls the fact that 3 platforms "control the dominant narrative". There are lots of other platforms. Yes, FB et al. use manipulative psychology to drive "feed addiction", but it's quite different to say that they shouldn't do that rather than saying they should allow any and every post.

One can argue that this is a bad situation without simultaneously arguing that the platforms' limits on speech is socially important. One can argue for expanding the platform choices and reducing the manipulation->addiction games, and still be working towards a more expansive context for free speech.
That's not so bad actually.
If you bring up Yemen and Saudi Arabia to make Iran look bad without mentioning the atrocities occurring in Yemen with the support of Saudi Arabia and the USA, I cannot take the rest of your comment seriously.
The page says that the software uses a patented oracle-free testing method, but that it doesn't apply to the public domain (Java?) programs that you can request by email. Although I hope the Department of Commerce wouldn't sue me, I'm not clear on the purpose or status of this patent.
I've used this to convert a small Google Meet push-to-talk extension: https://github.com/BashVideo/google-meet-push-to-talk/pull/2...

That one's really simple, but doing the Firefox port first seems to have ironed out most of the compatibility issues. Mostly APIs with newer versions where Chrome is the only one to support the old API.

But just exploring web extensions a bit (this was my first time interacting it), it feels like supported features differ quite a bit between browsers. Chrome has the lead here, and Safari seems 'minimal' in comparison. UI elements can also behave very differently between browsers.

Apple is dead-set on having you use the App Store to distribute even web extensions. The converter works fine, but just this way of doing things does bring along a bunch of frustration for unfamiliar devs. There was a Twitter thread on this recently started by a member of the Safari team, which gives an idea: https://twitter.com/jensimmons/status/1338558758025367553
I have a Twilio number I use as my Google recovery number (which is only used for that purpose). In my case, it's because I want to protect against SIM swapping attacks on my real phone number, but it also works for people who don't want to give out their real number.

This doesn't work for services that send SMS 2FA codes and the like from a shortcode (as Twilio does not support receiving those), but Google appears to send from a longcode, so it works there.

Oh well...
I am on 15kg coffee beans per year right now. This is quite a lot, I guess. Prepared as filter coffee and mostly before lunch and then one cup right after lunch. Late in the afternoon it would impact my sleep. So I leave it.
100% terrible in Brazil. Way too good.
> They said development would generate $900m, although an analysis by the non-partisan watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense, based on historical bid data, found that it would bring in just a fraction of that amount – no more than $27.6m. That would be split between the federal government and the state of Alaska.

$900 million is a big number but when I opened this article I was wondering why any of the big name billionaires who are making climate change 'pledges', or basically thinking about Bezos here, wouldn't just buy it up instead.

Then I got to this part in the next paragraph

> The former governors Frank Murkowski and Bill Walker have encouraged the state to bid on any unwanted tracts itself, and last week a state-owned economic development corporation voted to authorize bidding up to $20m.

It looks like there is at least in Alaska some efforts to keep the lands away from oil companies.

Given that billionaires love to collect land even more than they like starting space companies, it'd be a huge philanthropic initiative to purchase it and have it turned into protected wildlife refuge.
It's nice that it uses a standard API now. But it seems to me that the long tail of one-person-developed hobby extensions will still be completely turned off by the prospect of paying $99/yr indefinitely to be able to distribute the extension (App Store membership).
It looks like it counts multiple clicks.
You are arguing semantics (and apparently my first post focused too much on semantics). I am mostly concerned about accountability. The Astros cheating scandal resulted in:

> "As a result, Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow and field manager A. J. Hinch were suspended for the entire 2020 season for failing to prevent the rules violations. The Astros were fined the maximum allowable $5 million and forfeited their first- and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 drafts. No players were punished because they had been given immunity by MLB in exchange for their cooperation.[1] The Astros subsequently fired both Luhnow and Hinch on the day their suspensions were announced"

The individuals who made the decisions were held accountable, or at least some of them.

> I'd watch this movie. Especially if it somehow had Hackers-era Angelina Jolie, Mathew Lillard, and Jonny Lee Miller. Or, plot twist: Those 3 are now the old/lame parents of the young hacker(s).

Maybe I should revisit that script then... I've definitely gotten more ideas about where it would go now that we're in 2021 and I have way more to work with to flesh it out. It probably wouldn't end up appealing to the Disney crowds like the original, though. Ha.

How is the book app going?

I found more old scripts in boxes I want to update when I have the time, some of my other fan art pilots are digital but lack the proper format of a script and your project sounds interesting for amateur writers as I imagine you have specific templates for the specific type of writing one would use.

All of my formatting is all off and looks like I just wrote long format stories in paragraph with quotes for dialogue as I didn't know any better and just did what I saw in books and wrote with total abandon in a way that only made sense to me.

What would be cool would be able to denote where the arcs and acts are as you're writing to be able to go back to after long pauses.

I'd pay for that! ;)

Sidenote: I think I enjoyed finding out out Ray Bradbury wrote Farenheit 451 on a rented typewriter at UCLA just as much as reading the book, and especially more than watching the movie.
Hey HN,

For the last couple of months we've actually been working on a co-founder matching tool through Startup School. It's still an early alpha, but some members of our community have already found it very helpful. We've taken inspiration from online dating sites for some of the mechanics, but of course adapted the questions to expose the factors that we've found are most useful in a co-founder search.

If you'd like to give the service a try, create a profile on startupschool.org (it doesn't matter whether you choose the "active founder" or "future founder" track for this purpose) and then visit https://www.startupschool.org/cofounder_matching_profile

Feel free to check it out! If you have any user feedback, you can let me know directly at kyle@ycombinator.com
Right? Unless someone was actively squashing sites down, it doesn't take much attach a CRUD to a directory of folders for git repos.
No, it's incorrect. Do you have a link so we can fix?

Somu can store 50 resident keys exactly like Solo v1, as it has exactly the same MCU. In both there's a single master secret that's used to derive the (non-resident) keys. That's the only thing that's unique.
I was really excited to see the visual debugger there. I tried it myself, it was really easy to get it going. Unfortunately, using it briefly in the notebook I was using I found it pretty buggy, lots of glitches and big slowdowns in the UI. I would also really love to see the option to drop into an interpreter while debugging.

Still, can't complain too much about an open source project, thanks to the team for all their hard work.
Ehh I bet that will happen again. I can just picture some PM somewhere:

"Well most of our users aren't using those settings, why bother putting in dev time to update them. Lets just push out the main UI update as an MVP then come back later* and update the more obscure settings."

*Narrator: "they didn't"
Meh, Tencent owns a huge portion of them. At least there are still good American game dev jobs though.
> In particular, we will be reverse engineering the Apple GPU architecture and developing an open source driver for it.

Well, this is exciting. I suppose it was inevitable that someone would take on this challenge, but it's exciting all the same.
Looks like his donation/sponsorship page is down :-(

I’m super excited someone is taking this on. Hopefully Apple contributes drivers as well — they only stand to gain from the success of this project.
