Honestly, those things are pretty stupid too. Car dependency, enabled through incorrectly priced roads that don't account for externalities, is one of the greatest drivers of climate collapse, and production of cement to make concrete is one of the largest sources of CO2 emissions.

My fear is that the vaccination effort will take so long that it will allow enough time for variants to evolve to escape the vaccine.
It also means potentially explosive market share growth. From Google's perspective it isn't that they can't pay, it's that they don't want to.

A competitor product such as DDG or Bing suddenly looking at pretty big market with no Google competition would say, yep, I'll pay you x% or x cents per result, the overall growth in my market share will make it worth it.
Rather broad term, I think.

I once had the impression that an indie hacker is a one person dev shop that sells a software product instead of their time.

But lately, I saw many people use that term for business people on the look for the next hustle.
> What if Google News picked a small set of the more cooperative Australian publishers to work with?

It's a compulsory, arbitrated deal. They don't get to pick and choose. Indeed, we're told that Google's market might is precisely the justification for this code. They're said to be too big for media companies to obtain a fair deal, so they are obliged to participate with any media company that wants in.

> In order to handle the algorithm side of things, what if they deindex news in the primary Google search and notified of changes in just the Google News algorithms?

Something like this might be possible. Deindexing just news but permitting other searches certainly was floated as one of a few possibilities.

It has enourmous positive value and I actively support it by subscribing to newspapers that I don't strictly need (or even have time to properly read).

Other journalists around here have uncovered big problems in how we care for elderly, corruption etc etc etc.

Journalists makes us aware of what is happening in Syria, US, UK etc so we can better compare different approaches.

Journalists sometimes prevents war or at least sometimes puts an end to war crimes.

The problem is we the quality varies extremely even for the same news outlet and even the same reporters - and we all suffer somewhat from Gell-Mann Amnesia.
was the number 1 reason why the South had a garbage economy

I am not sure what the implication of garbage economy is, but the south was fairly wealthy antebellum. So much so that they supported a large tax base for the federal government which they resented, it lead to the nullification crisis in 1832 and started the long road to the civil war. Southern universities where also considered to be some of the best in the nation pre-war.

If you where referring to an economy based on the backs of slaves then yes it could be labeled a garbage economy but if it is in reference to the poverty seen across the south in modern day, the antebellum south was a totally different economy and honestly an entirely foreign culture a culture that was decimated (the bad and good parts) in Reconstruction.

I normally go to a lot of events. Even without actively seeking them out, I end up with piles of t-shorts (which I do fairly regularly wear around home in the summer). I've given bags of them away but they still seem to accumulate over time. Very few of them are ones I've purchased. But, yeah, I've never seen a pair of pants as swag. That is something I have to periodically buy when they start getting ratty or stained.

Some ideas:

* Since their license is Apache (most likely because they have an Open Core business model) instead of AGPL, they could offer extra services on Elastic's managed service. Amazon wouldn't able to offer since these parts are proprietary.

* They could partner up with other Cloud Providers (Microsoft, Google, ...) to offer a managed Elastic on these clouds, before these cloud providers do it themselves.

* They could offer other proprietary products that run on top of elastic (managed by them), that would force customers to use their managed service.
I think that both you and the article are actually underselling the problem. The problem is not that terrorism has slanted towards right-wing extremism, so much as that terrorism is still a right-wing extremist tactic, and the overall amount of terrorist attacks have increased.

The most famous terror attacks in the USA [0][1][2][3][4][5] were perpetrated by right-wing folks: These were religiously-motivated, racially-motivated, in protest of large and overly anxious government, and stand in stark contrast to ELF blowing up SUVs late at night.

WP has a list of terror attacks in the USA [6], if you want to peruse a complete list and see for yourself how often people are motivated by religion, race, or other hateful right-wing delusions.

Which events would you say that the original article has gotten wrong? How is it "convenient" that terrorism is being committed in a lopsided way?

I wore very little of my winter clothes last year. We had a baby and I was only back to work for a few weeks before I started working from home. I think my son wears more outfits than my wife and I combined durning a normal week. Have you found you had more to give away this year?

> The 90 euro Converse sneakers and the 30 euro Mywears have a similar CPW (...). In this case, money buys quality, at least when measured by durability. (...) The more expensive sneakers, the 150 euro Diesels, perform remarkably worse than the two aforementioned. (...) In this case, money does not seem to buy quality, at least not durability.

This is the part that it's infuriating to me: I would willingly pay more if I knew which items are of good quality, but quite often there is no way to tell. One would assume that price is a proxy for quality, but (as seen here) this is rarely so: yes, the quality item is probably more expensive, but you can also easily buy items that are both expensive and bad.

The "indie hacker" part is underselling the value of hooking into these marketplaces.

The Atlassian marketplace is how we're able to make draw.io/diagrams.net free everywhere else. We don't have to handle any licensing or billing and it's a commercial market where users expect to pay.

We generate 8 digits annually there with 5FTE people, you can build a medium sized company around just one of these marketplaces.

It's a fine balance. Buying too cheap clothing, and you'll drive into problems like terrible patterns, poor fabrics, etc.

Buying too expensive clothes, and you'll drive into problems like outrageous brand-name surcharges, fabrics which may be too fine.

I have yet to find a perfectly fine one-stop shop for all my clothes, so I rather focused on finding the best I could with my own criteria in mind. Online shopping has made this a breeze, if the clothes are consistent in size and quality. Websites like yoox, lyst, etc. make it possible to purchase high quality and dollar items, to very good prices.

Probably. I think the former is more readable and, at the use site, more concise.

Regardless, I don't think the hypothetical is super useful, because its unstated major premise is, "But what if we, for the sake of argument, ignore all the other good reasons why Python doesn't have them?"

My favorite programming language is functional, and has significant whitespace and multiline anonymous functions. While it is my favorite, I do have to concede that the Python language maintainers' worries about the syntactic implications of multiline lambdas in a whitespace language are accurate.

(I could quote the zen of python some more here, too. Lines 5 and 6.)

I love this idea and also the way it's designed, it still feels like a kind of brutalism, but just a touch more modern. I don't really know how to explain it but something about the design appeals very much to me!
The reason is in the comment just below yours: Apple is a gatekeeper to ~40% of the US (last I checked, that number is low) and why bother writing an open-source tool if only half of your audience can use it? Especially if it's something like a VPN where infrastructure is involved -- you're certainly not going to set up one gateway for Apple users and another for everybody else.

We're stuck with this problem until the users have a bad enough experience that they move to a better platform.

TIL: there are men who own 15 pairs of shoes and 15 belts mostly over a three year time span. I'm pretty sure I haven't owned 15 belts in my whole life, nor 15 pairs of shoes since I left college, and I'm in my early 40's...

Not judging, to each his own, I just wonder if I'm the outlier or if he is.
One way to make your clothes last longer is by checking to see how often you're supposed to wash them, and air drying them if possible. Things like jeans really only need to be washed a couple of times a year unless you're spilling stuff on them or being very active and sweaty in them. Growing up, the conventional wisdom was that you always had to wash something after it was worn once, and you were being a slob if you didn't (for some reasons hoodies were exempt), but it turns out that isn't true.

The source code for that function (groupby in toolz) is bizarre!

This is the definition of an indie hacker. They take established products/tools and then strip them to improve one area and sell it onto other indie hackers at an 'affordable' price which requires you to sell your soul for $8 per month.

Imagine having 10 paying customers giving you $80 per month. You need to provide some level of support, deal with charge backs which can get you MATCH banned so payment processing becomes near enough impossible, update the product and market it too.
> If you think I'm exaggerating, ask them a question about economics or health care, and listen as they "expertly" explain Everything(tm) to you.

In my circles "rationalist" is widely used to describe a person who holds opinions as "untainted" by emotions as a human could possibly have them. Meaning there is a describeable chain of independently-verifiable rational facts that take you from A to B, yet they are not married to the conclusion and you can reason them out of their positions if you can spot a hole in the process.

And no, not a single one of the people I know would dare pretend they know better than experts in the field. They might ask informed questions and poke around using their "standard" logic brain-instruments, but they mind their tone and proyect relentless curiosity instead of hubris.

I am sure that people can abuse this thought-technology to peddle bullshit or to proyect an image of being all-knowing entites.

In my case stumbling across LessWrong and later on SlateStarCodex got me started on trying to decouple emotions from the reality that causes them. It has helped me immensely in my never-ending quest to try to be the best possible version of myself.

> Ffs, even the label "rationalist" itself is pathetic, and very revealing. It's basically a way to signal "I am right, take my word for it".

That sounds abrassive to me and I wouldn't want to talk with that kind of people either, whatever labels they are wielding at the moment. I wonder if there is a cultural-bubble effect at play here, or if I have been lucky to not encounter them just yet.
The amount the dialogue has been moved to open source and "who's in the right" is a bit scary. These are billion dollar companies making decisions and writing Mean Girls-type blog posts about each other in the hope of chasing profits, but their use of the term "open source" repeatedly makes the community act like this is what matters to either of them?
Gnuplot (and awk) have several advantages. It’s faster, especially for large datasets; it’s language-independent and can be used through pipes with any language, so the plotting solution you develop can go with you as you change your simulation language; it’s designed to be automated, plot over the network, etc.

I can think of a lot of reasons why it might happen.

Maybe you have a process accepts multiple types of objects. Maybe you think you are passing in the correct type of object but you are not. Maybe the person reporting the error to you omitted information. Maybe the person who wrote the application didn't log enough context. Yes, all of these situations are not ideal, but if the process was ideal you wouldn't be debugging it in the first place.

> I really can't imagine how this could ever happen in a business. "Yes, sir, there was a problem with 1087." "1087 what?" "I don't know, but it was number 1087."

This happens all the time in many businesses. Users rarely generate perfect error reports, and it's not uncommon for intermediaries to incorrectly communicate details either. What developer hasn't seen an error report that consists of a vague screenshot with "doesn't work, got this error" as the description?
Yes. Not just websites using their own certificates though. As a certificate authority they can create certificates for arbitrary domains. There are however a few countermeasures against illegitimate certificates such as certificate pinning and certificate transparency.
Differentials still have a place. They allow wheels to be perfectly balanced when negotiating corners. That can be done with independent electric motors, but never perfectly. Lot of little factors have to be considered in the software. For instance, as a car corners weight shifts, this causes the diameters of pneumatic tires to change slightly. A mechanical differential handles this tiny effect seamlessly. Independent motors on each wheel would have to sense, calculate and react to this via software.
That is just one effect. There are also uneven road surfaces to deal with. Any slight error would result in one wheel dragging or trying to accelerate, resulting in instability or at least chewing through tire rubber.

Differentials are cheap and reliable, most going for the lifetime of a car without any issue or even real servicing. They are likely the cheaper option than running multiple motors.

I can find such comments and threads if you wish. By your own admission in our past interactions you have stated there are certain topics you remove because you think they lead to flamewars. That may actually be a good thing, and your reason for doing so may be justified. However, this also means there are indeed topics that cannot be discussed on HN. Therefore, it is false for anyone to claim PG's forum does not enforce some form of censorship.
> No, this is not the prisoner's dilemma, because the parties can communicate and are not bound to the original decision. What you're suggesting is that the news companies form a cartel.

The second sentence disproves the first. It's effectively a prisoner's dilemma because communication between the players is effectively infeasible through illegality.
The quality of the service you get depends on if AWS makes a profit?

Also, do you think they make a profit on the bare EC2 instance? If so, why do you think that running a few management scripts that manage ES running on it would add up to more than $0.094/hour?

30ms latency is acceptable. But that's the best we ever had.

High-end Android phones have 120+ ms latecy. That's easily noticeable and actually annoying (at least to me).

My personal pet peeve is the latency of input when i'm starting new applications in KDE. E.g. I'll start a new terminal with Super+Enter, followed by a Super+Right Arrow in order to tile it to the right. But the latency is big enough, that often it's not the terminal that ends up tiled, but the application that had focus earlier, e.g. a web browser. It's really annoying.

I also don't understand how still in 2020 when I move a window with the mouse, the window can't keep up with the mouse.

30ms input lag is what we should work towards. But that's not what we have today. Today is actually crap.
50Hz basically means the arc is extinguished after at most 20 milliseconds, limiting how much the contacts heat up. For DC on the other hand there's no guarantee the arc will extinguish at all. You can imagine how a sustained arc would be bad for a relay.

Of course a higher frequency would heat the contacts even less, and I imagine you could get a relay rated for even higher voltages given a higher AC frequency.
> How? There are other search engines to use. I don't use Google search. I haven't missed it.

Well, I think there's a lot of disagreement about whether DDG or Bing are adequate. I use DDG most of the time, only rarely searching standard Google (tho often searching Google Scholar). If Google disappeared, I'd be fine; I'd simply get more precise with my searches.

The reason I claim it will harm Australian web users is because I have argued that it will motivate web search providers to make their product no more competitive than the market average. If their product is more attractive than anyone else's, then they risk becoming dominant and subject to the restriction. Consequently, the search engine space in Australia will always lag significantly compared to the space in other countries.

It's not the absence of Google Search that will harm Australia, it is the presence of a rule that makes exceptionalism costly.
I think he's the outlier. Most people I know own 2 belts; one for casual clothes, one for dress pants. Shoes is normally casual shoes, work boots/dress shoes, hiking boots/running shoes, plus flip-flops or slippers. I think I've only met one man who had that many shoes, and he was really into fashion and collecting sneakers, so he had probably 50 different pairs to make sure he always had some that matched his outfit.
