> VC money makes it possible to support a bigger team from the outset

Yes. However, in practice, it is very rare to be able to raise money before the founding team has already been working on the business for a few months. Hence, by the time VCs put money into the company, most likely, the founders have already incurred their most significant financial risk.
> how much of security critical U.S. consumption can that cover?

What US can't source for F-35 locally are Xilinx FPGAs at either 65nm, or 40nm nodes.

The question is not in node size as such as having an FPGA process capability.

FPGAs on generic CMOS don't work great. The ability to tweak, and optimize the process specifically for individual design is huge for FPGAs.

Intel with their CPUs are very much in the same situation, but in reverse. They cannot move from "hand polished" proprietary processes they've been developing for decades to anything else.

Yup. I was lucky the person whom I contracted COVID from informed me the moment they got the test result. I was on my way to work, just about to leave the car. Turned around and went back home. Developed symptoms the same evening.
It was a lucky coincidence that was Monday so I've stayed home the whole weekend and had no contacts for a couple of days I was likely already infectious. (The person I got it from only developed symptoms two days after our contact).
People who do contact tracking only on Wednesday.
So my contact informing me saved three days worth of my potential contacts from getting COVID from me.

Hey HN! I'm excited to share this with all of you and hear your feedback.

I was talking to my colleague who was looking to get into a leadership role but was finding it hard to search and apply for quality leadership roles. There is no dedicated place for leadership jobs.

I spoke with hiring managers at a few companies and they are also struggling with finding quality leaders. That's when I thought of coming up with a leadership focused job board and build a community around this space.

I guess many of you might have come across this situation where you are looking to get into leadership roles. Hope this helps you.

Looking forward to your feedback!
The new ACME feature isn't just about surviving the revocation event itself. Suppose that the new API didn't exist, but every client polled on a daily basis to check to see if their cert was revoked. Then great -- within 24 hours, every server gets the new replacement certificate.

And then 60 days later, every single client tries to renew that certificate. That's another 200 million certs in 24 hours. And that'll repeat every 60 days.

So the ACME draft is also about being able to pro-actively smooth out that renewal spike. Some clients would be told to renew again immediately, less than 24 hours after their replacement. Others would be told to wait the whole 60 days. And then after a couple months of managing that, things would be back to normal.
The early US and other economies were built on slave labor. Should we compensate Brazil, Indonesia and other countries if we don't want them to use slave labor?
I am not making a claim of whether or not you want irreversible transactions or that they are somehow inherently better than reversible ones.

I am simply pointing out that USD != bitcoin, so the Tesla-driving-cash example is a fundamentally different thing than a bitcoin transaction.

It's like saying "Jeez, it took THAT MUCH energy to get to the Moon? I can drive around the earth a thousand times with that much energy!"

Yes. You can do that. It might be smarter and better for you to do that. But you won't be on the Moon at the end, and there's no way for you to get there unless you take a spaceship.

In this example cars = money, and spaceships = bitcoin.
Very cool! Few Qs:
1. Where is this data being sourced from?
2. When can I filter by company size? Being a leader at 10-person company is very different from a 1000-person company.
3. If I were a leader, where and how would I find out about this board?
>it seems like Austin might just slingshot past SF in terms of issues.

As a former San Franciscan that has lived in Austin for 10 years what do you think are these issues?

Sure there is a lot of old school residents that don't want any change and fight every code change and infrastructure upgrade but the new residents are doing stuff like passing the new rail props. The city has built more housing in the last year than SF has in 5 years.

Another thing is the exploding homeless population, the city is so angry that we got enough signatures to put the camping ban on the ballot. A certain district actually voted for a far right wing candidate whose major platform was to get rid of the homeless. That is not something that would ever happen in SF.
One of the early realizations I had as a parent (more-so after my second) was that it's wrong to assume that I have the authority to "make sure" my kids like something. They are their own person from day one, will like what they like, and I personally feel that you're setting yourself up for a good, healthy, relationship with your child if you accept this early.

This doesn't mean I can't _encourage_ things; if my daughter displays an interest in dinosaurs, I will be sure to gently fan the spark. If the spark goes out, no big deal. There will be more interests, and my job is to make sure I'm encouraging an exposure to a wide range of them.

>Samsung has a long-term capital and capacity planning process.

This. Samsung is another company like Amazon that takes long view and flywheel to another level. And to answer question to comment below. Yes at one point Samsung was trying to make their own EUV Scanner, if you consider their NAND and DRAM scale it should comes as no surprise. And Samsung has their own Chemical Subsidiary along with dozen of others for their Foundry. They are taking vertical integration to an extreme.

And that is speaking as someone who dont particularly like Samsung. But Credit where Credit's due.

>That's only true if there isn't high demand. If there is opening a channel costs $15 or more.

Sure, but lightning is (effectively) infinitely reusable. You can keep doing as many TXs as you need, and the fee is only to open and close the channel.

I have spent far more than the cost of opening a lightning channel on buying wallets for physical cash, and they aren't nearly as reusable.
Is this akin to the "everyone gets pen tested eventually, whether they want to or not" joke?

Also I would guess whether we hear about it or not is more likely to be a political decision. Can the news be leveraged for whatever change we want to see? Or is it too embarrassing and works against us? Sometimes it doesn't need hiding, so then we find out. (Cynical, I know.)
There isn't enough trade surplus with Africa to generate enough empty containers that made shipping plastic waste to Asia workable. Maybe there's going to be indigenous recycle brick industries to deal with local plastic waste, or ship the finished products to Asia on empty containers because I surmise the chances of plastic waste passing conservative construction industry standards is not high.

> Fuck you Google and your shitty advertising.

I really don't get this response.

Since very soon after Gmail launched, Google has been very open and public about mining user's emails to serve ads to them. This isn't some kind of dark pattern. There was a lot of fuss, to the point of politicians threatening to hold hearings about it.

And then people sign up for Gmail and complain about the ads.

I can understand complaining about cookies tracking you all over the Internet, and how hard it can be for the average Joe to avoid them. But Gmail and their ilk? It's trivial to use something else.
Personally, not being able to view the source of an tool designed to remotely execute shell commands is a deal breaker for me.

Yes, the plastic in this case acts as a binder, in fact it would potentially be worse since the heating likely evaporated or decomposed most of the plasticizer which would make the plastic more brittle and more likely to wear off into micro plastics.

Displaying relevant ads requires taking users’ data, and there’s no way to know if that data is also used for other purposes, which it almost always is.

Yes this makes some business models harder.
For anyone else reading this later: I was actually looking at page 29 according to the bottom-right of the slides, which is slide 31. The relevant chart is on page 30 according to the bottom-right, or slide 32.

The problem is still largely the same in any case, because unless we have some way to associate the percentage-based growth figures from that one slide with the current dollar-based growth as shown elsewhere, it still gives little insight into whether the various factors being examined correlate with higher percentage growth, which is almost certainly the interesting information here.

Ask HN: A windows .md setup you're happy with that has good Math, Chem support?
Hello,

I make math and chem notes in markdown. I need to work locally on windows, although I can use online rendering, cdn etc.

I spend too much of my modest allotment of brainpower never quite getting everything setup properly : fonts, delimiters, latex commands that are working one place don't work when I publish, or work when I publish but not when I preview locally.

one day, when the world is perfect I will use BSD and it will be 2 o'clock on a sunny afternoon all day, but until then do you have any recommendations so I can stop fussing with config and do some work?

thanks

> The fact is when you're working with any data coming from any other system, the data is or will become null, somehow, some way, and your program code which treats this as impossible is just literally wrong in a way that is complete jibberish.

i don't really understand this part. you can't treat it as impossible, because `Optional[T]` is a different type than `T`. anywhere you try to use an `Optional[T]` as a `T` is a type error.

i think you're saying "there are some cases where `T` can also be null that are now unaccounted for," which i don't think is really relevant. that's more a matter of API design; a hypothetical function that receives data from a server should return an `Optional[T]`. one that treats the operation as infallible would throw an exception just like in an implicitly null language, right?
Seven Dirty Words
The Bloomberg article was a dud.
The claim was that it couldn't be done, as in not possible. Not that it's not a lot easier because of ground up design for concurrency in rust, maybe even an order or two of magnitude easier. However to claim it can't be done in C++ at all is silly. To claim it couldn't be done by the team working on it with the given time frame and resources is a legit claim however.
> I'm happy to see that the top comment is about his 25% credit for I Don't Know. That willingness to fold with grace is something that gets lost with standardized testing

I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. After using the "I don't know = 25%" policy for fifteen years, I was finally convinced to abandon it. Not because of pressure from administration, but rather from an honest evaluation of actual student behavior.

The IDK policy was meant to reward self-awareness, but in practice it seems to actually punish lack of confidence. In particular, female students answered IDK more often than male students with similar scores on questions that they both answered in full. (I suspect the same is true of international and BIPOC students, but my rosters don't reveal which students those are.)

I've seen lots of students who lacked confidence get trapped in mind games, wasting time worrying about (and sometimes asking me or the TAs) whether their solution was worth more or less than IDK, instead of putting forward their honest best effort. In particular, I've seen students who were already struggling, who might have scored 30-50% on an exam question, "play it safe" by answering IDK instead, and then after seeing the solution say "I did know that!"

The last time I taught algorithms, five students (out of 300) took the three-hour final exam in fifteen minutes or less. They walked in, sat down, got their exam booklets, wrote their name on the first page, wrote IDK on every other page, handed in the exam and walked out. None of those students passed.

I expect the next time I teach algorithms, without the IDK policy, exam averages will be slightly HIGHER, not lower. (I'd have data already, but the pandemic clouds everything.) I saw a similar score increase years ago when I stopped dropping the lowest problem score on each exam.

> IIRC, he also announced that the top 5% of the class would be automatic (and the only) A+ grades, and the bottom 5% would be automatic F grades.

Oh god no. I've never used grade quotas; that's just evil. My usual policy is that students with course averages above 95% automatically get an A+, students with course averages below 40% automatically get an F, and intermediate grade cutoffs are determined by score distributions that ignore those outliers. (I plan to move to an absolute grading scale the next time I teach the class.) In practice, that usually means about 4-6% A+s and 2-3% Fs, but I don't set those percentages in advance.
So many wrong things in just the title.

1. We do not use the term statistically significant because it is misleading. But the article does not make even a case for statistics and they use the term as a figure of speech.

2. The premise of the article is that the Outreachy program may not bring diversity to Debian as fast as the author desires, so they postulate tha the CoC does not have an impact. Inconsequential.
The main point is that it's a critical view of American society of the period, not an ode to it (or to its insticts).
In Israel almost all construction, even single family homes (not that there are many of them), has concrete/steel beams and floors as the load baring infrastructure, and light Ytong bricks serving mainly for insulation. But it's super common to remove brick walls, interior or exterior, to make changes to home layouts, and as long as you don't touch the beams it's safe.
Rob Walling and that crowd are great. I read Start Small, Stay Small years ago and found it to be full of good advice that I was able to employ to make a "productized service". It never really took off, but paid for some new computers and a few vacations, and I learned a ton from it. Wish he or someone would update it, as I think it was a fantastic resource. It had a lot of specifics and details that more handwavy business books just sort of gloss over.

I've actually backed away from Poetry after some really bad experiences.

When it works, it's damn near perfect.

When it doesn't work, and that usually involves a problem with a downstream dependency that isn't technically Poetry's fault, it's a massive hassle and sometimes impossible to manually override.
Throughout the technology hype cycle, different tech stacks will be promoted as the 'cool new paradigm', such as a JAMstack with a NoSQL backend being seen as 'modern' or 'scalable' compared to a Microsoft SQL server w/ a PHP or ASP.net backend.

However, I think people put more stress on themselves and bloat their code by building apps to a tech stack, rather than choosing the correct tech stack for their objectives. If Microsoft SQL and ASP.net backend are the most natural fit for your application, go with that. It doesn't matter how 'outdated' it is in the trend cycle, as long as it is maintained and works for you.
Quick suggestion. I think one of the important parts of a high end meal is how it is served, including the actual plates on which food is served, and how the food is arranged. You pics on your landing page are indeed spot on on this, all meals are on the right kind of plate for the food being served and are very well arranged.

At home most people won't have what it takes to properly serve these meals, and will not know how to properly arrange things.

So there's two things that could be offered.

First some kind of instructions or even templates on how to arrange food on the plate. I'm thinking of actual "maps" to give a close to perfect layout for the food to be served, and how to achieve the desired positions.

Second, suggestions on what kind of plates to use and, possibly, links to buy them in advance, so when the food arrives the customer is ready. At first it could be affilate links to amazon (or alikes) and if it generates enough revenues you could then sell these things yourselves.

In any case best of luck!
I just don't think that's realistic for the JavaScript ecosystem, for the majority of projects. E.g. The weight of something "standard" like create-react-app.
In this case the world "plastic" is used in its popular sense.

Vast majority of "plastics" are plastic in physical sense. But some are not. Some undergo physical or chemical change after they are cooled and are on longer plastic in the physical sense.

So maybe not "by definition".
I was curious as to the cost of bricks so I did a bit of research...

A standard two-cell "cinder block" in the US weighs around 17.5kg and costs around $2.00 at home depot [1]. I suspect they'll be much cheaper in bulk. Maybe $1.50 if you buy thousands?

The same thing costs ₹65 INR in India [2]. Or about $0.89 (₹73 INR = $1 USD). Not sure if they would accept orders for a single block at that site.

So, more expensive in the US. But not extremely so.

You're assuming that the goal here is to achieve security. It isn't. The goal here is to achieve the appearance of security. And that is not an entirely unreasonable approach because appearing to be secure can discourage people from even attempting an attack. Your home security system won't actually keep anyone who knows what they are doing from robbing your house if they decide to rob your house. What it could do is make them decide to rob your neighbor's house instead.
Some kids are simply into dinosaurs, others are into trains or superheroes. I don't think we have much control over it, and we should probably just go with their flow. My 4 year old is obsessed with trains, galaxy railway videos, and has recently discovered drifting trains and trains doing jumps on YouTube (simulations of course). Not much on dinosaurs, unfortunately.
I recently bought a fairly large fossilized raptor skull mounted on a base for my office. It never fails to get a comment when I have visitors and having a hands-on relic from millions of years ago (even if it's just a cast) is really cool.

I've been trying to get people to pay attention to this project for years. I think a lot of the "useful computation" chains are much more likely to survive the next cryptocurrency crash because of their inherent utility. For example, the various storage coins, stuff like Nym or Oxen, Namecoin, etc.

> Who is the arbiter? Who pays for the arbiter? Do I have to negotiate for an arbiter for every purchase I make?

How do you do it with traditional financial instruments? You probably sign a long-term contract with some agency just as you would if you were signing up for a credit card. Or you could simply not worry about arranging any kind of arbitration for such a low-value purchase, or simply just use fiat currency for those things (there's no reason it can't continue to coexist with cryptocurrencies).
