So just now I did a small experiment. I used Google to try to figure out his last name. It was pretty hard, took me a good ten minutes, but not so hard once I went to image search.

On the other hand, once I had his last name, I typed it into Google and I immediately had search suggestions for slate star codex.

So if, as I understand it, the worry was that patients of his would discover based on his actual name that he was writing on the side, well, that cat was well out of the bag NYT or not...
Maybe I falls out of line here, but I met the love of my live in 11th grade. We got married this September, at our 12th anniversary.
There is no secret, just the will to commit to the relationship, mutual support and talking about issues when they arise.
I believe gravity is what happened, in the particular case of Loon.

I never understood it. It is expensive to keep things fighting gravity. The only way to avoid that is to either a) not put them up above the earth, or b) put them high enough that gravity isn't much of a force, like low earth orbit.

It doesn't take a genius to understand that, but it took Elon Musk to prove it.

Meanwhile... Google launched balloons.

Ask HN: Checklist for Starting a Startup
If you had a checklist for starting a startup what would it be?

There is this checklist for starting a small business https://www.sba.gov/business-guide/10-steps-start-your-business. I guess I’d have to register my company name as a trademark as well.

Do I have to talk to a lawyer so that I don’t get sued by my users? If I don’t want to go to an incubator, what are the resources that are out there?
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Amazon is literally under no obligation to contribute any code back. Yet they do because most people prefer to merge upstream if they can, and Amazon is no exception.

Frankly Elastic has been very hostile at accepting PRs if they seem like they’d compete with Elastic’s proprietary offerings. Glaring conflict of interest. So I’m glad Elastic forced a full fork.

BTW, in case you didn’t realize this license change will not prevent Amazon from running their own fork. So even from a greedy business perspective Elastic made a horrible decision, even ignoring the ethics of lying to the community as they have done repeatedly and without showing any remorse.

edit: Fixed typo where I wrote "Elastic" instead of "Amazon" when talking about Amazon being no exception to preferring to merge upstream where possible

Here's why I think the author is interesting. Their writing style is easy to read, flows well, is funny, and brings up and applies interesting concepts.

And here's why your comment is interesting: in calling the author a pseudo-intellectual who writes pretentiously, you're actually taking a pretentious position, judging the author's value based on your belief of what is good taste, what is an expert, and what makes for a well-adjusted individual. And that's interesting, exhibiting the features exactly as you criticize them.

> Google is behaving like a corporate bully, said Johan Lidberg, an associate professor at Melbourne’s Monash University who specializes in media and journalism.

I feel like the lawmakers are instead trying to bully Google into subsidizing an industry in need of a new business model.

The document states that Parler agreed they had a massive backlog of reported content to review that "potentially promoted violence". Even Parler isn't making the claim here that they were doing a good job of moderating. They are arguing that it was a breach of contract not to give them more time to fix it.

There's plenty of reason to be skeptical about lots of things. There's plenty of reasons to dislike mainstream social media companies and the large companies that do business with them. But not everything is a conspiracy.

Grocery Shopping App of 2020-2021
I hadn't kept up with RISC-V .. but since last time I looked things have really advanced.

For example, SiFive has essentially a viable PC running linux... and their component/module approach to configuring a new ASIC is likely to really fuel the pace of innovation for smaller startups making edge and cloud devices.

[ this Beagle board includes SiFives U74 core ]

Another thing I find surprising is the amount of Neural hardware now being shipped in these devices to run machine learning models [ not training the model, but running the model ]

It seems growth of IOT devices poses two main problems :

- latency
- massive data streams

Hence the need for neural and fast silicon right at the 'edge', to process the stream before it goes to the server.
It is still target reporting. Not targeting enforcement. Deplatforming would be LACNIC terminating the addresses strictly because they host some sort of content. Terminating addresses because they lied on their contract is another story. Ron Guilmette targeting DDoS-Guard is true but that is still not deplatforming.

MBAs are especially terrible fit (I’m talking about median here, folks) because managing highly skilled engineers whose skills are in high enough demand so they can quit and get a better job whenever is not what most of the US economy looks like. Software itself is unlike manufacturing/services and there aren’t widely accepted models on how to best organize software development. A lot of creativity and open mindedness, not to mention the ability to handle failures frequently, is required in the industry.

How is that an impediment? Are you saying a person with dyslexia is incapable of authoring a resume that makes a good first impression? I disagree.

Dyslexia does not preclude someone from doing a good job at all. Spell check. Use grammar tools. Get someone to proof read. Not that hard.

If I were interviewing someone who told me they have dyslexia and their resume is perfectly written, I will know, without a doubt, they will be detail-oriented while on the job. Once again, the resume is a valuable opportunity to make an excellent first impression.
If Google is required to pay publishers for the value they provide to Google, then those publishers should also be required to pay Google for the value they get from being ranked highly in search results.
The only RSA computations Let's Encrypt need to do are:

* Signature by their RSA Intermediate (currently R3, with R4 on hot standby) - which will be a dedicated piece of hardware - to issue a subscriber's certificate. In practice this happens twice, as a poisoned pre-certificate to obtain proof of logging from public log servers, and then the real certificate with the proofs baked inside it.

* Signatures by their OCSP signer periodically on an OCSP response for each certificate saying it's still trustworthy for a fixed period. Again this will be inside an HSM.

* Signature verification on a subscriber's CSR. To "complete the circuit" it's helpful that Let's Encrypt actually confirms you know the private key corresponding to the public key you wanted a certificate for, the signature on your CSR does this. Some people don't think this is necessary, but I believe Let's Encrypt do it anyway.

You're correct that none of this happens on the database servers. I guess it's possible their servers use TLS to secure the MariaDB connections, in which case a small amount of either ECDSA or RSA computation happens each time such a connection is set up or torn down like at any outfit using TLS, but those database connections are cached in a sane system so that wouldn't be very often.

It's easy to get into situations where you're paying massive costs with serialization, deserialization, and network I/O, and I believe graph operations with Spark are one of those situations. I would be curious if running Spark in local mode with a single thread would actually improve the runtime, or if it would reveal other issues with the Spark graph libraries.
My house, several of my friends' houses, my insurance agent's office, my vet, all burned down in the same wildfire a few months ago. Local banks were destroyed along with everything stored in them, and we nearly lost our kids' school. Standing at the remains of my house, looking around at the destroyed community, it looks like we were firebombed. Not modern precision strikes... WWII scale, wrath of god, miles of destruction firebombed.

Anyway, I'm just saying that things you think are safe, really aren't. It's inconceivable that two houses across town from each other would burn down on the same day, until they do. Probably not going to happen, but sometimes it does.

Thankfully, my wife grabbed the binder with accounts and passwords, along with the kids and pets, when she evacuated, while I was stuck on a backed-up freeway an hour away.

I've been very conscientious since then about keeping both a physical and digital copy of everything important. I would never trust digital alone, but a physical copy just isn't reliable enough.

The difference is that Bell scientists were always focused on core business problems and not just chasing fantasies. OK sure, Shannon was doing whatever with mice and unicycles...but he earned it! All of Bells big accomplishments were tightly coupled to business needs: Information theory => everything, transistors => bad vacuums, fiber optics => latency.

Similarly Google has had huge contributions on "research" focused on their core problems: MapReduce, BigTable, Borg, BERT, etc.

Loon always caught my eye, and I thought the reason it would catch on is due to cost. Isn’t launching a satellite much more expensive than a balloon?

For example, providing Loon antennas to a telecom provider, and decreasing the infrastructure cost of setting up networks.
You joke, but if you have a solid idea of how to permanently¹ sequester carbon from trees in a cheap and scalable fashion, it might be worth submitting that proposal. If nothing else, it can serve as a baseline against which other proposals are judged (as in X tones more cost effective than the "plant some trees" approach).

¹ Some uses for wood, like as fuel, release the carbon back into the atmosphere. Likewise anything where the wood decomposes.

> Someone needs to do a study on government waiting lists. I

I'll spare you the time and money with my best guess of the conclusion of said study:

In conclusion, Government tasks outweigh the potential output of Government employee expectations, therefore we the researchers recommend ever greater budget allotments and grants to further study why the adage 'more money' doesn't translate into more 'productive' outcomes in the Public Sector.

The very essence of the State as a bureaucratic system ensures that things move as slow as possible, which often illicit the occasional Kill-dozer [0] event, even if you have someone motivated to 'change it from within' they inevitably get burned out due to the amount of red-tape and general sense of apathy. I highly recommend you watch the Wire and maybe even Treme (same producer) as it outlines anything I say way better than I could ever articulate in a 10,000 page essay on the matter.

We really need to move past the nation-state model and limit its scope to as little as possible as that could at least allow for more viable solutions. I just heard you can print car tags at kiosks in grocery stores in CA, which is an example of simple and elegant solutions that were only made possible because the pandemic shut down so many government offices and thus allowed for these services to allotted to more sensible methods--they were not going to let such a massive amount of tax money slip through their hands so they moved fast before people simply disregarded it just as they did lock-down or stay at home orders, and sadly even mask wearing in certain cases.

I waited nearly 5 months for my tags prior to this for my motorcycle in CA, only to see this outcome, which normally would have driven me up the wall but at least produced a reasonable over all solution. No one needs to be paid to hand out something you can automate, it makes no sense. Put those people to more sensible tasks like addressing liens or title transfers that are more nuanced and require actual Human intelligence (and I use the word loosely) or zoning approvals, or solar tie in approvals etc... to solve as there is a massive back log of those right now that can't move forward until some bureaucrat signs off on it.

> So I can imagine (just about) an intelligent system that can also effectively build systems operating in time domains orders of magnitude from their own experience/lifetimes.

This isn't the problem I'm getting at. The problem I'm getting at is that it'd be highly unlikely for an intelligent lifeform (or really any) to develop under those extreme conditions. Advancing under other conditions and then developing towards extreme conditions after they have reached a sufficiently advanced state is a different issue.

For extreme conditions like operating at a speed much faster to us (imperceptible) would mean that they would be under high amounts of acceleration than compared to us. Gravity already puts major constraints on humans and for a lifeform to be operating at a rate imperceptible to us we're not talking about 10x or 100x the gravity but more like 10^10^10^10 (or more). Mind you that their internal reference frames (their internal clocks) would operate at a different speed than what we see their clock moving at. Subatomic particles have a difficult time operating at a fraction of that gravitational force. That means you have no building blocks.

What you're not considering is that I've accounted for things like chemical processes and electrical processes not being needed. The problem is that I don't know how you get two particles to change state (at least in non-extreme or destructive ways) under the conditions you're talking about. This isn't about "oh we just don't know" it is that there are some things we do know. We know that lifeforms have to be able to change their state (e.g. you can move your fingers or you can have a thought. These are state changes). We know the basic building blocks of the universe, quarks (or at best strings). There's certain rules these things have to abide by. You can let your imagination run wild but there are still limits of what you can do within this universe. And any being even visiting this universe would still be subject to these rules even if they were from a different universe that had a different set of rules. You can't just trash these rules in the spirit of imagination (which btw testing and updating these rules is what the job of a physicist or really any scientist is. But it is still a convergent process).

Creating things that last longer than an individual's lifetime isn't hard at all. We've done it by accident, they are called artifacts. Nature does it all the time, they are called fossils or just dirt. Trees last longer than human lifetimes. I know you think you're keeping an open mind but instead what you've done is limited it. Operating within the bounds of the rules doesn't have to be a limiting process. There may still be an infinite number of configurations under these rules. But abandoning them makes your search space so open (and open in a way where you wouldn't expect to find solutions) that you can never find what you're looking for. It is like if you're looking for needles in a haystack and arguing that the way to find the needle is to add more hay because the needle is inside the hay.
Because the design looks cool and presumably an electric version wouldn't be slow.
“Psuedo-intellectual?” I’d spell pseudo right before criticizing someone that way.

You can disagree with Scott and think he’s wrong all you want. Still, I have difficulty believing you truly think his writing isn’t bounds more intellectual, across a wide breadth of topics, than most people professing anything deemed intellectual.

In contrast, Einstein on (special) relativity is excellent. I haven't revisited them since my undergrad days, but I remember being surprised by just how clear and direct the original papers were. Much easier to understand than many modern attempts! The terminology is a bit outdated in places (such as, if I'm remembering right, what you call the mass term γ m₀), but that's not hard to deal with.
I was curious how much Jio spent on creating their network and the answer seems to be approximately ₹1T or $14B.

> Section 230 is a valuable grant of liability protection, and thus morally obligates platforms to act as a public forum.

That makes no sense, since the entire, explicit purpose of Section 230 was to free platforms from preexisting disincentives si that they could be free to “restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected” without incurring liability that would otherwise attend such editorial control.

You are literally suggesting that the price of Section 230 protection ought to be not doing the things to which Section 230 protection applies in the first place.

Also, I think it's wrong, in any cases, to think of Section 230 as a special grant of liability protection, any more than the preexisting different liability of distributors from that of publishers is a special grant. It's a recognition that online media enables models that would not be practical with the media for which the traditional liability roles for content developed, and that venues for content which wasn't pre-screened in detail but over which largely reactive editorial control was exercised was all of technically and economically practical on the internet, inconsistent with the premises of the classic publisher vs. distributor liability analysis, and already, at the time the Act was considered, starting to be stifled by application of the traditional publisher vs. distributor rules. We don't force bookstores to be neutral platforms to be free of publisher liability, because we recognize that bookstores aren't naturally going to be pre-screening content at the detailed level print publishers will, and it doesn't make sense to stifle them by forcing them to. 230 is the same idea, just for a business activity that didn't exist when the common law of liability was evolving.
