VC also tends to be looking for big, long tail wins. If you blow up 9 companies, but the 10th is a huge success - you're gold. If 10 of your companies are middling successful? You're not going to have the returns your investors were looking for, and you're toast.
The modern western inland diet contains a lot of wheat and other grains which have more omega-6 than omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. PUFAs are used in the synthesis of immune factors (interleukins, cytokines, ...) and this imbalance in the omega-3:omega-6 ratio causes more aggressive versions of those immune factors to be produced.

Then there’s sugar, processed food, work stress, particle emissions, microbes in indoor air... there are plenty of reasons for our immune system to attack itself.
Agreed on all accounts but still -- how is the startup time?
I think the ideal scenario for the make-a-PR page would be for it to load in the commit list and diff asynchronously— so you get it quickly in the normal case where it's small, but you can just ignore the spinner and click through when it's large.
I certainly have tried to expand my personal understanding in general. However, what I've found is that by and large the experts actually know what they are talking about.

Right. It's the expert's blind spots that contain the best nuggets of value.
I agree that that's what happened here, but maybe Google didn't think so, or automatically assumes that the above is typically the scenario where one-star reviews are given.

Such reviews will naturally be at one end of the spectrum or the other - either one star or five stars, so as to maximize your voting power. So they might detect it in the case of reviews being bimodally distributed. I'd expect that two star reviews should always be treated as honest, so I'd recommend that as a review floor to prevent getting accused of manipulation and deleted.
> Why can i not access the favorites menu with one click as it used to be ?

The search company makes money when you search to find things, not when you find things in your bookmarks.
Sometimes opening your mouth and saying the wrong thing is the quickest way to improve your understanding. Starting with an incorrect premise and then talking/arguing things out until your understanding comes more in line with reality is a pretty healthy tact. Essentially Agile development, just applied more broadly.
Well, this whole thread started from your claim here:

> From what I understand EU has way better social safety nets, yet much smaller entrepreneurship rates compared to USA.

> Counter-intuitively, limitations drive innovations.

It seemed like you were claiming that people with fewer resources may counter-intuitively do more innovative businesses, so providing people with UBI or similar resources could reduce innovation in entrepreneurship.

The inventiveness you need to thrive as a poor person is very different from that, and I don't think losing that kind of inventiveness would be a real loss in our world.
Put on your face diaper.
> Why not find minimally-perceptible pixel changes to the image that allow it to compress better as PNG?

I would bet a whole pizza, anchovies included, that you'd be the first one to fire an engineer who wasted his time pixel-perfecting a random PNG on your homepage under the guise of performance, when this is actually an alternative.

The JPG-in-SVG is a beautiful hack to work around Apple's former refusal to support WebP. You can just use WebP if you are okay giving older iOS/macOS users the finger. This isn't web dev being "hacky", it's Apple being shitty.

Hasn't HN always celebrated such hacks?
This sounds interesting. Can I obtain the relevant information by just looking at their open courses?

100% agreed about the 95% percentile as well, smarter and work harder too I believe. I'm so far away from it haha.
On platformarchs, the demi-state, and deplatforming
Probably. Because hedge fund managers would not be trading on robinhood in the first place and are only reviewing it in the hopes of tanking the app's usage.

Whereas the users prevented from buying meme stocks are actually using the app and unhappy that they can no longer trade meme stocks.
SSH tunnels work. But you still need to control access to the bastion server / outside host system.
Re: throughput, I think nanosecond resolution for trades is bad policy. 5 or 10 minute windows are better.
Wasn't aware of that one and it looks very promising, thank you. Does it work with `parallel`? Or does it have a similar built-in facility itself?
Ask HN: Why is Google Tasks wanting access to scan my local network?
Thanks to Apple's recent changes, I get to see some curious App behaviors as a popup rather via a some router trip wire log.

Why exactly are Google Tasks, Email and several others wanting to scan my network for devices? What's the "official" benefit of this? Is my email program wanting a deep relationship with my coffee maker?
Interesting. I did not realize wire bonding is still used on large devices.
Station Iapetus: 3rd person shooter in Rust using the rg3d game engine
They’re an angry redditor who downloaded their app to trade and then was locked out of buying GME or AMC. If that’s why they downloaded the app it’s no different than downloading Uber to get home, Uber experiencing an outage, and then leaving a 1 star review because the app did not work as promised and you are still stuck without a ride.
Not surprised. I live right up the street. Palo Alto is so progressive and woke that they assume every woman is a likely victim. Unless the husband is a minority I suppose, then it would be politically incorrect to ask.
True globally, but if you're just a guy who happens to own a company making electric motorcycles, why not do what you can? (While also getting some PR, no reason to pretend that's not a factor)
I think they could be measuring the wrong thing. While it may be true that the air temperature doesn't change the biology of the virus, air temperature definitely changes human behavior (what activities we do and where we do them).

The never ending tug of war: Developers decrease load speed from 3 seconds to 1 second. Company decides they now have 2 extra seconds of load time to include more analytics, larger splash videos, animations, etc. Before long, the site is back to loading in 3 seconds and a richer (more bloated) web experience is born.

'We tried paying everyone the same salary. It failed'
I am not sure there is anything simpler. Anything else you could do is just moving your problem upstream. Throw a connection pooler in front of the database and have the users connect to that? Well sure, you could that. But doesn't really help you. You now can tell the database to only accept connections from this pooler, but now you are just moved your whitelist management problem upstream to the connection pooler, if you don't whitelist manage the pooler, then you are effectively just exposing the database to the open internet.

I would frame this on two axis:
1) outsider vs establishment
2) expert vs layperson

My opinion (see below for how I have defined these)

Outsider expert > establishment expert for public ally challenging and overturning norms

Any expert > layperson on the basic facts (ignoring statistical aberrations, of course)

“Outsider” being unconstrained by norms, not afraid to be cast out of a long established peer group

“Expert” has deep grasp of contemporary facts, second and third order consequences, puts in controls to remove cognitive biases, deep curiosity and healthy scepticism.

“Layperson” being someone who is probably intelligent, but grasps quickly onto unfamiliar concepts and data and makes heuristic calls based on limited data.
I was only talking about Apple.
Thanks for the question.
"No arbitrary nesting" applies to inline formatting. Higher precedence formatting can be nested within lower. So, nothing can be nested within a code span, for example, as it is the highest.
Just a way to order things.

Container blocks are nested arbitrarily, up to 16 levels. Quote > list > quote > code, for example, is OK.
I don't think it's narcissism, I think it's the dynamic described in the SSC post, Weak Men Are Superweapons:

>>Alice said something along the lines of “I hate people who frivolously diagnose themselves with autism without knowing anything about the disorder. They should stop thinking they’re ‘so speshul’ and go see a competent doctor.”

>>Beth answered something along the lines of “I diagnosed myself with autism, but only after a lot of careful research. I don’t have the opportunity to go see a doctor. I think what you’re saying is overly strict and hurtful to many people with autism.”

>>Alice then proceeded to tell Beth she disagreed, in that special way only Tumblr users can. I believe the word “cunt” was used.

Alexander explains what's going on as:

>>Beth chose to stand up for the people who self- diagnosed autism without careful research. This wasn’t because she considered herself a member of that category. It was because she decided that self- diagnosed autistics were going to stand or fall as a group, and if Alice succeeded in pushing her “We should dislike careless self- diagnosees” angle, then the fact that she wasn’t careless wouldn’t save her.

>>Alice, for her part, didn’t bother bringing up that she never accused Beth of being careless, or that Beth had no stake in the matter. She saw no point in pretending that boxing in Beth and the other careful self- diagnosers in with the careless ones wasn’t her strategy all along.

Pricing psychology is so interesting, where there seems to be a hierarchy as well; which flows into the idea or rule that you should never limit how much someone can spend.
Maybe not apples-to-apples, but... I worked on Lehman's Tokyo electronic trading desk in 2008. When we went bankrupt, it wasn't our clients, or even the exchanges which stopped our trading. It was our clearing banks.

Interestingly, we weren't cutoff uniformly in all markets. NY desk was trading about 75% of regular volume for 4 days into the bankruptcy before someone (SEC?) told them to knock it off.

There's a lot going on in Robinhood's back office and legal teams of which we are not aware. While I'm as pissed as anyone that they shutoff trading, I'm open to the idea that the shutoff was for far more mundane reasons than collusion with Citadel and Point 72.
so link it then.

Hey I'm one of the people starting this fellowship program --
Our hope is to inspire more scientists to start companies-- we really believe that a lot more scientists could become great founders, and companies are often the most effective way to be developing research that can improve or save lives.

I think you'll still be clicking on links taking you to repository pages. I think I've gone to the homepage only whenever people complain about the design (last I heard it had gone enterprisey).
Apparently it was mistakenly uploaded uncensored before this was changed? Where can we find the uncensored version?
I’ve been thinking about the same. Starting a company with good intentions is all well and good but the founders won’t want to or be able to run it forever, and then it seems like your options are either selling to a big company or going public. I’m interested to know more about experiences and practicalities of handing ownership to the employees in a tech company.
I think it means fast, but it's used when someone wants a buzzword. I wish people would use fast instead. I feel the same way with learnings (use lessons).
This is why you have a plan. You actively check for the usual suspects and know exactly where you’re going in case of an emergency.
The fact that none of this is internally oriented would imply that it is not a purity spiral at all, but rather more an intentional eradication of culture, history, and identity in a cleansing campaign just like the mental component of all ethnic cleansing that we also see all over the rest of the world.

If one thinks that it is awful that the Uyghurs are subject to "[The Chinese government] wants to erase Uighur culture and identity by remaking its women"[1] and "By targeting women, China is attempting to dilute the Uighur population and destroy its culture."[1], then one really needs to look around and ask oneself some hard questions about what is going on in all of the west, but especially in the USA as this article illustrates.

Are western/European women not being targeted "to erase western culture and identity by remaking its women"? Or "by targeting women, [someone] is attempting to dilute the Amerian/European population and destroy its culture."??? I don't know. Maybe I am wrong and someone can make an argument for why I am wrong. It sure seems like it though when you are not biased against the west and look at things objectively without hate.

I can't see how any of what is happening in the west would be acceptable if, e.g,. the labels of the actors were simply anonymized, i.e., "Actor A has moved to remove all cultural reference of Actor B's ancestors, heroes, and historical figures as a matter of systemic policy and against the will of Actor B"

In Buddhism anger is viewed as a poison. Over the years I am agreeing with this more and more. It seems lately it has become very fashionable to constantly being "outraged", "angry" or similar. Sometimes anger can motivate people to change things but usually it causes a lot of friction and prevents finding solutions to problems. Anger can also easily be exploited by political leaders.
There's a Greyhound station in Mississippi or Alabama or someplace with a mural in the terminal with a macabre limerick about the hare's foot not being lucky for the bunny. I saw it 15 years ago, no doubt it's gone by now.

PyCharm's Transition to Apple Silicon
Right, and that makes sense, but the context here is a date parsing library for Python--unless said library has a batch interface, I'm not sure how that would improve performance, but maybe I'm misestimating something.
I was curious about its ratings in the App Store, so I took a look.

There are 2.4M ratings total, I don’t know how many there were prior to today or yesterday, but right now there are 2.4M.

If you sort by most recent, there are loads of 1 star written reviews.

You don’t need to write a review to leave a rating, you just need to “own” the app, meaning you have to hit Get on the free app. This acts like a $0 purchase. I stopped the download immediately after.

Now here is where my commentary becomes useless. I tried leaving a 1 star just to see if anything would happen. Nothing, so I start looking around for a way to undo because I don’t actually use Robinhood. Couldn’t find one before I made my way back to the page just to see the star rating I gave was removed.

Now one of two things could have happened, and the first is fairly likely.

1. By taking the actions I took in the sequence and time that I took them, Apple could have registered my rating as an attempt to bomb the score. That’s fine, I wasn’t intending to leave it.

2. Apple could also be monitoring scores and reviews.

Actually there’s a third possibility:

3. There could be a delay between when reviews are written and when they affect the score, so if a review was left yesterday, it might not act as a weight on the score until next Tuesday or whatever the delay is. I’m not familiar enough with the App Store to say.

It does look like there were a lot more reviews in the App Store than the Google Play Store to begin with, so it would take more negative reviews to significantly affect it.

Mostly I’m just curious why we’re seeing this in the Google Play Store but are not hearing anything about what is going on in the Google Play Store. Perhaps someone else with a history with the App could follow up on this that has actually used the App or is motivated to re-rate it to see if their rating goes through.
I think "self-perceived expert" fits well.

Talking about nice looking homepages that load fast the first one that came to mind is Stripe's.

It starts with 952.83 KB / 364 KB transferred and goes to 1.70 MB / 482.03 KB transferred on final load (once you reach the bottom of the page)
Github's starts with 3.10 MB / 969.27 KB transferred and goes to 6.64 MB / 4.54 MB transferred

Yeah, Github's homepage has more content, it's true... but what I find really amazing about Stripe's homepage is that those kind of previews of their interface are not images, they are built with actual code!

Stripe has a really awesome dev culture, problem solving to the next level, also on their homepage!

edit: typo
Yep, I agree. Only used it twice years ago for that and as another sibling comment mentions, it is pleasant to use.

How is the startup time though? That's important.
How about UV light and humidity?
I just love this article. Especially when the norm is always about scaling out instead of scaling up. We can have 128 Core CPU, 2TB Memory, PCI-E 4.0 SSD, ( and soon PCI-E 5.0 ). We could even fit a Petabyte in 1U for SSD Storage.

I remember WhatsApp used to operate its 500M user with only a dozen of large FreeBSD boxes. ( Only to be taken apart by Facebook )

So Thank you for raising awareness. Hopefully the pendulum is swinging back to conceptually simple design.

>I also have a 380 GB Intel Optane 905P SSD for low latency writes

I would love to see that. Although I am waiting for someone to do a review on the Optane SSD P5800X [1]. Random 4K IOPS up to 1.5M with lower than 6us Latency.

For many people the primary appeal of Rust is its type system and related features (declaring deep immutability, pattern-matching, etc)

> often these are a struggle with scaling interpreted languages compared to other lower level languages

Not sure what's meant by this
I don't think the person you responded too meant to say that the game lacks complexity as a player, or even that its simple to program, just that it is difficult for the player to force a failed state because the player has a smaller range of actions than in a more typical AAA game. Obviously the coding behind the game is brilliant, but in terms of player facing bugs its just much easier to test.

For reference, a Specialized e-MTB (a mountain bike -- as in bicycle -- with pedal assist) is about $13k. And a very nice off-road -capable motorcycle (like a Triumph Scrambler, which can top 100mph on pavement, but has about 120? mile range) costs about the same.

This is not new in Germany/DACH area due to super weird and archaic privacy, anti-hate and anti-libel laws that could be interpreted in ways which open them to abuse and turned into censorship by malicious actors with enough resources/connections.

Basically in Germany/DACH free speech is heavily policed (ironically to stop NeoNazis voicing themselves) as to ensure it doesn't offend anyone so you end up with everyone only allowed to say either good or meh things in public/online.

Best example is the Austrian politician who had forced Facebook through a court order to have posts on her wall where people called her a corrupt traitor, deleted worldwide, under the argument that unless you can show proof of corruption, you calling them corrupt is libel according to the Austrian law, lol.

Even on platforms like Kununu (basically the Glasdoor of DACH) where employees can review their employers, if companies don't like the negative review employees leave, they can ask to have them removed citing similar laws, which makes the platform pretty much useless in the end as all reviews are either good or meh.

Honestly, Americans don't know how good they have it in the free speech category. Imagine not being able to call Trump corrupt on Twitter or say that Swaggy Bro Tech is an abusive sweatshop on Glassdoor/Google.
They do have the right to dictate what can be said publicly, on their platforms. They can’t dictate who listens to you, but speaking and listening are not the same thing. The old analogy of “you are welcome in my living room until I decide you are not” applies here.

If you are finding it difficult to reach people, the onus is on you to find a way to reach an audience, not on them to provide it for you.
The HighPoint card doesn't have a hardware RAID controller, just a PCIe switch and an option ROM providing boot support for their software RAID.

PCIe switch chips were affordable in the PCIe 2.0 era when multi-GPU gaming setups were popular, but Broadcom decided to price them out of the consumer market for PCIe 3 and later.
You see, Microsoft makes secure products, that's why they are not allowed to see each other.
On the one hand, this is a useful thing to know.

On the other hand, it does seem almost guaranteed to be misinterpreted by most news sources.
> They allowed people to sell; you can't sell unless there's a buyer.

There are many other exchanges. The buy side of those sells might be on TD Ameritrade or Schwab or other brokerages where purchases were still allowed, not to mention institutional buyers looking to hedge calls or cover short positions.

What this prevented was RH customers specifically loading up on more stock.

I think your confusion might be thinking "they" all blocked buys, but that couldn't be further from the truth. A couple of brokerages blocked buys, but the majority did not.
