Love seeing these types of posts on HN! Every now and then I see a post about olfaction, and since I am in the olfactory receptor research space, I just want to put my two cents out there.

Digital chemical sensing is hard, and yet biological chemical sensing is amazing. Understandably, there's always been immense interest in digitizing the biological process of smell. People have been pitching various technologies, from the early days of the WaspHound[0] and DARPA's largely failed RealNose project[1], to current efforts from startups[2] and big players in perfumery[3].

It is my opinion that all of these technologies are solving the wrong problem. Olfactory receptors are just plain horrible proteins. They're extremely difficult to produce, and even when you can express them, they have exactly the wrong type of properties. Each olfactory receptor responds to many different chemicals with really bad sensitivity. While that works really well for animals, these properties are a nightmare for digitization.

If we want to digitize chemical sensing, I believe we will need better proteins than naturally occurring olfactory receptors. And that's what I am trying to do currently in my Ph.D. research!

Definitely amplify's risk for sure. If the company went under, your whole county would go under and the government is not likely to bail them out like they would a city who had too much debt. Since you may even purchase your house on the company land, you could quite literally lose everything.

Again, if the population thrives the amount of space is hyper-limited. I don't know if there'd be gentrification per say, since it'd be gentrified from the start but the populace would grow fabulously rich off both stock in the company, increased land value and general prosperity for your entire community.

It also changes the incentive structure. You want you company to thrive, so your can community to thrive and vice versa.

If you look at the end, you’ll see the letter was signed by an “Assistant Product Manager.” In tech we might call that position “Junior Product Owner” or “Technical Product Manager.” It’s exactly the position I’d expect to either have the answers, or have good enough relations with engineering to get the answers.

My dad had various Plant Manager and Production Superintendent roles at Goodyear for many years. He could tell you exactly how each machine the factory operated, and why, and what the functional tradeoffs were of different designs. He had a Master’s in engineering, which again is a common path to this sort of role even in tech — join as a capable engineer, learn the product and industry, and somewhere along the way learn that you have either talent or interest in management or communication.

Bankruptcy involves someone else determining the alteration of rights and obligations under an established legal framework.

Repudiation of debt is just exercise of sovereign power by the sovereign debtor.

(In between the two is non-bankruptcy bailouts, where the debtor isn't the sovereign, but the relief is a specifically targeted exercise of sovereign power rather than an adjudication under a preexisting legal framework.)

Ah, now I get your point. I've never used or help design an app where no interactions require at least some attention, but I like it as a goal.

>Putting it together: to go into a climb, you must increase your thrust (or 'get some back' by allowing the aircraft to slow down to reduce the drag, but that's not an option when you are going slowly.) Secondly, you must increase the angle of attack, but that happens as a consequence of adjusting the pitch of the aicraft to maintain the desired/correct speed.

You’re assuming a lot here. It basically comes down to lift coefficient of the wings when a certain power magnitude of air is forced under them. This comes from thrust. Power. You can climb with power being perfectly level. You should NOT increase your angle of attack (this will induce stall as it increases drag).

It’s weird, it’s backwards, but it’s physics. Pitching up increases drag and increases the angle of attack increasing your power requirements to stay at altitude.

This is a video I found on YouTube from my local college:
https://youtu.be/_SJpXQh2KCE

In aeronautical terms, Power as P comes from lift and drag, you assume it’s from the wings, when it’s the thrust from the engine providing the compressed airflow (because we’re going fast) under and over those wings.

I’ve been flying simulators and aircraft most my life as a hobby (due to slight red green colorblindness, I couldn’t be a fighter pilot so I went into computers). One thing I always have friends try is just keep the Cessna straight and level, increase power, she’ll lift on her own when she reaches that sweet spot.
> I don't fully understand the privacy argument.

Hiding IPs while engaging in piracy.

Other than that, I think it's mainly geoblocking evasion, which might have overtaken piracy recently as the most popular reason for using a proxy service.

Any use where the slowness of tor is a dealbreaker, and where criminal liability is not so high that law enforcement will attempt to unmask proxy users in realtime.
I guess there would clearly be some people who would be much more likely to be successful than others. I can’t imagine it’s a good idea in our current situation, in which there are very effective vaccines that have gone through extensive testing that will soon be readily available.

Several of the vaccine candidates from a year ago have failed. So even pros with virtually unlimited budgets fail a decent amount of the time.

Perhaps there’s a case where someone for whatever reason will not be able to buy a safe vaccine soon, is at real risk of contracting covid, is demographically at high risk from covid, and has enough knowledge and access to proper materials to make their own, and for that person it is a smart move. I don’t know. Anything is possible.

I’m also defining bad idea as worse than the alternatives. It’s like riding a motorcycle. I consider that a bad idea because you have a much, much higher chance of dying than in a car. But your most likely result is neutral. Most people who try to make a vaccine will probably just lose a little money and time.

And I should note I do things that are bad ideas sometimes too. If you’re doing it for fun or education or whatever else that’s fine, you should just be realistic about the risk you are incurring.

No. Entrepreneurs understood our cultures tendency towards vanity, self reflective and voyeuristic exhibition, and created businesses based on this. Social media was the exploitation and exaggeration of that vanity. What it is now is a huge business and opportunity for marketing and social control.
Will that be an acceptable experiment? You have no control over the vaccine quality, no assurance that it was given properly, no controls.
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I do believe that imprisonment is less humane than corporal punishment, so long as the corporal punishment does not maim, is in line with the crime, and there are no victimless crimes punished with corporal punishment. So for example, I'd be opposed to the death penalty for drug trafficking as it is in Singapore, or the removal of limbs for theft as it is in SA, or any punishment whatsoever for homosexuality, but putting someone in a cage for 10 years for selling crack, or even for armed robbery, separating them from their children who have to grow up without a parent, putting them into a dangerous environment made entirely up of criminals and having to adapt a perpetually criminal and defensive mindset, to me that is more barbaric than beating someone. It is a difficult thing to reason on but it is important to do so.

That was because demand always exceed supply, and Steve Jobs refuse to give up on the JIT management system. After iPhone 4 they finally give up. Something just dont scale.

That is not to say Apple doesn't use JIT anymore. They still do it with supply guarantees.
I use Inoreader for my rss reader. it supports Twitter, faceboook (public pages) and YouTube even though they don’t have RSS feeds. So even though some sites kill there rss, the technologists provide.
Also I think you are painting an ongoing disagreement in the medical community (do we need to measure all-cause, or just breast cancer related mortality) as settled.

There are good arguments on both sides, but I think that we have a much better shot at turning the breast-cancer specific mortality boost into all-cause mortality boost by continuing to improve treatment, biopsy, screening etc.

The benefits outweigh the costs. Fiat currency is used for plenty of bad things, like funding wars and proxy wars. It would be a net gain if, for instance, fraudsters were a little more able to steal from gullible people but governments couldn't fight as many wars. Gullibility can, with proper education, be fixed, after all.

Usernames only exist in the service you register them in. I got my name on HN and GMail, but I was too late on Twitter. On the other hand, DNS is one giant global namespace. Someone else could register my name on TikTok, but they'll never be able to get landshark.io (as long as I keep paying the yearly bill...)
Is it possible to add a demo for an audio of 10 second without registering? Something that is small enough that does not break your server and that can not be used for something useful. My guess is that people don't want to register, even if it's free.

EDIT: The video in the main age does not have audio!!! Add some audio to it, that can be unmuted. (I hate autoplay with sound.)

EDIT2: Don't put a question in the title here unless you really want to make a question.

Something I’ve noticed time and again is that when you start working on marketing, you look at the product differently. In having to pitch it to an audience, you’re forced to confront things that seem obvious in retrospect but didn’t jump out at you throughout the design process.

This particular anecdote is amazing - but also speaks to Jobs’ zen-like ability to edit things down to their essentials. For the more tech-minded, this aspect of Apple products is annoying. But it’s also a huge part of their success.

No, divorce is not a healthy end to a marriage.

I think the original comment was referring to divorce being a better outcome in a failed relationship. There are a lot of failed relationships that continue to raise their kids in a disfunctional way and that is not good. A couple who divorces and are on good terms afterwards when raisig their children is way healthier.
Open Source groups are friendly to tech newbies and meetups or conferences are generally free. Local Linux User Groups (LUGs) in western U.S. usually meet in local non-profit Maker Spaces(search on this). The LUG where I currently live is smaller; 10 or so meet in person during non-pandemic times. They are able Linux and system folks. Some will tutor IT, networks, and Linux, and know the job market. Their IRChat channel contains "passing in the hall" type tech discussions. I highly recommend Open Source and Linux groups.

A different job idea is accounting or bookkeeping? While this is less interesting than IT, the barrier to entry might be lower. Given your aptitude for details it could be a good fit. Free online courses are available at Coursera.org or edX.org.
I agree with probonopd on many things, but I will concede that the benefits of this rewrite for hidpi and likely other features is needed. The dependencies for things may shift more however to the DE layer and that is ok - but it will make things more complicated for many developers as they will have to test against DE's more methodically than what they had been is what I suspect.

I am picking up on this from writing app that cares about the currently focused app and with x11 that is easy to deal with. Wayland explicitly denies it from happening, only the DE can give me that information and I have to work out how to work with all of them individually if I want to retain parity. There are definite cons to that as it limits the DEs that I can support vs having the capability retained in Wayland.
People have the right to decide who they associate with. Communities and organizations have a right to decide who they allow into them.

Shunning is very effective in enforcing community standards and behavior. It is one of the fundamental mechanisms inherent to any and all communities. At your job you can get fired. If you contribute to a dev project you must abide the CoC, and if you're a member of some cult or some community like Amish you have to live by community standards or you can go live by whatever standards you want with people that want to live that way with you. It can be devastating, but it is not wrong.

That’s true to a point, but it’s undeniable that as the cost of space technology increases the odds of bothering with it fall, and that the relatively modest changes in the conditions have exponential impact on the costs. A small increase in gravity rules out chemical rockets. Yes nuclear rockets might still be viable at that point, but increase gravity a bit more, or atmospheric density, and those become unviable too. And so it goes. The point is the range of conditions in which space tech is viable is very narrow compared to the range of possible conditions a species might find itself in.

It was a genuine request for you to define your terms. I think it's a good idea in general, and it's vital for terms that seem to be fine-tuned to certain biases.

Remember back when the entire center-left press decided the word "bro" was sexist? I asked people doing it to define the word. So many genuinely had no idea it was short for brother. Their entire awareness and understanding of the term came from trashy think pieces about a west coast subculture. Knowing that meant I could choose to either dismiss them or make a probably-futile attempt to share the rest of the word with them.

Knowing what you, specifically, mean and what you think of those terms leaves me thinking of you what I initially assumed, but at least we're on the same page now. This saves so much time and energy, and avoids a tiresome demon thread.

Thank you.
