Younger me would have paradoxically been in both the diligent and alienated category. The older I get, the more I realize that the openly rambunctious kids I went to school with probably had the right idea all along. They were experiencing an intuitive and deeply human reaction to what is essentially a wasteful cargo-culting process where grades and other such surrogate activities are mistaken for actions that directly contribute to life. It's a classic case of confusing ease of control and predictability for actual value. To some extent there is real value in the work, in that its get your foot through the door which in turns gets your foot in a series of potentially more pleasant doors down the the line. But the process is so utterly inefficient in terms of the effort and opportunity cost expended compared to what a job actually requires in the real world.

I hope I'm not coming across as bitter, because I am in fact quite optimistic. We have the technological means to spread education far more easily. Bright students are faced with a more competitive world but also have the tools to make progress on just about anything. With ML, it might even be possible to offer personalized courses and the attention that every individual kid or young adult might need.
I assume that 3 wheel cars have a bad stigma attached to them dating back to the Reliant Robin- at least the single-wheel-in-front variety.

Since most of these cars have low top speeds, they also face a usefulness problem. Parking is too expensive in dense cities for super cheap cars to have a large market, and they are too slow to be useful in suburbs or the countryside.
It's pretty common to ship chicken to china for processing since the cost of shipping is lower than labor... however since it was raised in the US, it's totally legal to say "US Raised Chickens"

It feels like every week there is a new take on taking notes showing up on HN. Clearly note taking isn’t “solved” yet. Maybe it is because everyone wants something different. I want:

* supports Markdeep syntax

* notes are NOT stored in any sort of binary format. Notes should be easy to parse.

* zips up a backup of all the notes and emails it to me on a regular basis.

* allows certain notes to be encrypted (yes, I know this goes against notes being parseable) and password protected.

* notes are synced across all my devices.
Okay, fine, so an algorithm can't be at fault. Ultimately it doesn't matter whether it's an algorithm. The point is that at this scale, moderation mistakes will be made. Doesn't matter if it's humans or ML or what have you. People rush to condemn the service and the people who make it as a result of these very, very seldomly occurring mistakes, but there is no system that exists that would allow perfect moderation at this scale.

Your work comparison just isn't valid because there is no employer with a number of employees within several orders of magnitude of the number of videos on YouTube.
I wish I could have decent output of a 3DS! I was looking into it and apparently it is really hard and one of the small setups modding them in Japan recently closed down!

The next innovation would be to bring down the cost of lithium ion batteries. Most of these are powered by lead acid batteries because they are cheaper.
I like this because it's a really off the wall take, but it also feels a little bit like the sort of reasoning that gets you tangled up with a Bernie Madoff type figure.

It's true that unscrupulous people are often very effective. But it's also true that they are unscrupulous. Leaning into lack of scruples probably isn't the most stable of pro business strats, but I imagine it works out sometimes.

To clarify my stance, building an electric version of a dash 8 (for example) is totally possible, but range would be limited and I doubt it would be cost competitive with high speed rail. There may be a niche for planes like that servicing rural airports and chartered flights for the wealthy, but you're never going to fly transatlantic routes.
This just screams race to the bottom to me. There is absolutely no accounting for externalities. I need to look into whether or not Canada does this.
FWIW I tried to run the Mac version and got the error: "“Oh My Git!.app” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified."

FWIW this was ~2015ish, I'm not sure what the state of OpenAPI was at the time.

> Was it simply aggregating results of multiple requests?

Pretty much. The company I was at was an early proponent of microservices so we had to have a service that operated as our entry point to all of it. Thats easy enough, but layering on versioning of the APIs for native apps on different platforms added complexity that definitely didn't seem worth dealing with in our at the time REST paradigm. We did have frameworks that generated clients for different platforms against that API so I'm not even talking about the boilerplate of sending and parsing JSON.
Just another "browser" reboot. To be a standard everybody must accept, as web is portable. If you are only looking for cheap tricks this will happen again and again. Maybe a new language that does flutter,C#,java,javascript interop should be created? then a couple of clones...

It sounds like, in this world, a lot of the value of a simulated brain is in the as-yet-indescribable complexity of human cognition. If you debug a brain to remove the parts of it that are uncooperative, you likely have to remove the parts of it that have opinions of any sort about the task on which it's working, which seems like it would defeat the value of using a brain at all. If you're giving a task to a simulated brain, it's because it's beyond the reach of what you can efficiently ask a program to do, and you want the subconscious reactions, development of instinct, and deep unplanned reasoning that you get out of asking an educated and experienced human to think about a task. You can likely tweak a simulated brain into cooperation, sure, but you'd have very few guarantees of not breaking those mechanisms while you're at it.

If you can describe the task to be performed well enough that you don't need the je-ne-sais-quoi of a human brain to perform it, you may as well just have a regular computer program do it. (We already have very efficient systems that involve extracting limited amounts of creativity and insight from human brains and forming them into repeatable tasks that can be run on computers - that's what the entire software industry is about.)
My apologies if it sounded harsh, I read it and a "go look it up on Wikipedia" type concept flashed in my head.

> But DNA extraction doesn't require deep knowledge about the species.

The act of extraction doesn't, but interpretation of the results does. So to does actually knowing where to get the specimens in the first place. So to does building up experience knowing where to look, how to collect, building up a feeling for the diversity and variation in the group you study. Without these tools in hand all the images, sequences, and assays etc. in the world will a) cost you way more than anyone wants to pay and b) will have you floundering around in a giant pool of dirt-common species that are well known rather than pulling that series of uncommon and ultra-rare specimens and making a contribution that really extends our knowledge. It takes years to know where to focus precious time, this isn't peculiar to taxonomy.
I agree. I prefer an app I can jot down plain text. I don't want to write Markdown.
This is much better for the environment vs gasoline I'd assume?
Yes, the SPACs have their own IPO with underwriters and fees. And then more fees for doing the merger with the target company.

It is somewhat more streamlined, so fees will be on the low side. Often 2% for the initial IPO, then and other 3.5% for the merger, I think? Although with a ton of flexibility and variability and fees hidden in complex structures. Also note that investors can opt to redeem their investment when a merger target is announced, and statistically most money is redeemed, so 2% of the initial amount raised going to be well over 4% of the amount the company receives.

There's a reason banks LOVE SPACs and are promoting them heavily and is sure isn't that they get less money from them than IPOs. :)
> Depreciating currency causes those assets to go up in nominal terms

That does not increase the real value of those assets, and it does not have any distributional consequences.

> Thats a theory-laden and motivated explanation

You could go read like, any of the vast literature on the great depression, the things that caused it and the things that made it worse. But you'd rather expose your ignorance on the Internet for us to see.

> discover that the central bank is very much fact and not at all theory.

I happen to know a lot about central banking, actually. You might be pulling a Dunning-Kruger on this one.
Current parsers cannot start returning BigInts instead of numbers without that being a breaking change. And I'm not sure anyone wants a format where the result may change types based on the size of the number, especially for languages where arbitrary precision types are not compatible with other numbers.
The 2100 Stack Overflow question queue is, of course, filled with vast numbers of downvoted "how do i redwash my instance" duplicates.
Airlines are basically one of the few industries that includes the taxes in the fares that they show when browsing. They do sell add-ons for more money, but that's quite different from just showing you part of the price before checkout and/or hiding taxes and fees until then.
As someone who works in healthcare I’d tone down the language before the FDA sends them a warning letter.

Using terms like “learn how to beat your allergies in 60 seconds” and “leave your allergies behind” are efficacy claims that the FDA takes very seriously. Right now it gives the impression that the company guarantees I’ll beat my allergies and I can do it in 60 seconds, both of which I doubt are true.

Plenty of companies have been cited for less bombastic claims than those.
Again, the organization you quoted would never be allowed to exist in China. Journalists are sometimes jailed, like any other person, they do not get exemption from breaking the law. They have significantly more latitude outside authoritarian countries.
I would guess they evaluated it at 8 min/mile pace because a more typical speed for evaluating running economy (e.g, 16 km/h or ~6:00 pace) might be a bit tough for cyclists who don't run. Especially since you'd need to do 5 minutes or more at said pace to make a meaningful determination of RE.

The wikipedia numbers do not add to 100%, so I guess they accept multiple languages. Still, if that's the case, 7% for English is a bit too low, it should be closer to 15%.
It's ok for a normal job (guaranteed 40h/week) but for hour-based freelancing (let along minute based!) it's really not. $45 is €37 and you can absolutely get more than that as a freelance developer here in Germany.

People who are used to getting a salary severely over estimate how much money an hourly rate translate to per year when you don't have guaranteed work lined up.

As a rule of thumb $x per hour is equivalent to roughly $xK per year for a salaried position when you account for unpaid time between gigs, paying your own insurances, paying for your own equipment, not getting paid vacation and sick leave, etc.
Very true. I also wonder if it has to do with folks in high school and college just not having money, so why bother paying attention to ECON material? It's all abstract.

It's like the Futurama joke from Future Stock:

From my understanding the difference lies in the object/animal chosen to describe the colour wrt. to the situation.

You’d use the red parrot if I may say to describe an angry wordy person becoming red of anger.

And you’d use another object/animal to describe the exact same colour in another context. Say red frog for your shining new prince or whatever.

Decentralisation is itself the killer app. If you live in the developed world all your life you’ll have a skewed view of this and not understand the true benefit here. As trust decays in the 1st world I sincerely hope you are open minded enough to change your

Some more killer apps;
- RENVM decentralized darkpools
- Chainlink decentralized oracles
- Deco by chainlink labs decentralized private information sharing
- NFTs and NFT marketplaces. This one is going to be huge.

Respectfully comments like yours and others in this thread seem like people saying the internet wouldn’t take off in the 80s/90s. I don’t know how a technical audience like the one here doesn’t get it.

Sure there’s greed but that’s a feature of humans not crypto. We are most definitely in a bubble but the dot com bubble bore seeds which grew into trees that were mighty.

It's a common misconception that different ways of connecting and/or driving coils can emulate a CVT, multi-speed gearbox or single speed gear reduction. The maximum continuous torque of a motor is purely a function of the maximum continuous airgap shear stress, which itself is a function of flux density and current density. Doesn't matter how you connect or drive the stator coils, you are always limited by the current density in the windings.
Not only that but the fricking scroll and visual effects almost crashed my browser
Yeah lots of people fail to see this, high resolution, high frame rate, low power consumption, you can only choose two.

Modern phones have impressive burst performance, but they can't sustain for real gaming, while Switch and this thing can, this is a big difference.

If Switch tell us anything, it is that phones are not (good) for gaming.
It’s only generic if you just look at screenshots, beneath the surface it’s not generic at all! There’s really no competitive game like it, where you build your own battlefield in real-time. Each player acts like a level designer, trying to structure the level to give advantages to themselves and disadvantages to their enemies.

The fact that Fortnite is popular with kids has blinded most people to the fact that it’s the most strategically interesting competitive game to arrive in ages.
A gyrocopter requires a tilting rotor blade for control. This is massively more complex than the fixed blades of a quadcopter.

Quadcopters don't really scale past a fairly small point before the efficiency nosedives though.
Most unexpected high costs like this are covered by some insurance product. Why is this an exception? For example: consumer bets that they will have an insane bill at some point, policy writer bets they won’t and a premium for this bet is established. Premiums can be adjusted by the $/KW threshold at which point the policy takes effect, and inevitably some deductible.
I think the reason Go is usable compared to early Java is because it does have generics for the builtin types -- slices (growable arrays), maps, and channels -- and for the builtin functions that operate on these types. And you can get really far with just slices and maps (which double as sets). You just can't add your own generic types or functions.

I'm pretty excited about this device in particular, and the fact that the handheld PC gaming space is getting some competition in general! I'm also really happy to see AMD scoring a win here.

Up until recently this market, niche as it is, has been pretty much dominated by GPD and their Win line of devices.

I probably won't buy an Aya Neo, because I have a GPD Win Max that I'm still pretty happy with, and I prefer having the physical keyboard because I use it for non-gaming tasks on occasion. But if I don't, then I'd probably be backing this project.

Oh, and because I've seen a couple of folks mention the screen size and resolution, I just want to say that it's well suited for this device and it's intended use. It's for handheld gaming on battery, on integrat,ed graphics. Higher resolution would draw more power, reduce frame rates, and not make much of a noticeable improvement to the actual gaming experience.
Who makes those scam popups?
> Do they? Generally inflation benefits debtors and not lenders, because debts are denominated in dollars in the year of issue, and repaid in future dollars, which are worth 2% less per year.

Yes, exactly. This allows wealthy people to borrow money and pay it back with less value.

> Overwhelmingly poor and middle class folks are debtors (think mortgages).

Poor people often don’t have access to these extremely low interest rates because of structural inequalities and credit requirements (and exceptions tend to leave them worse off as well, see the subprime fiasco). Meanwhile the cheap credit bids up the prices of those assets, benefitting the people who have them (wealthy) as opposed to the people buying them (upwardly mobile or aspirational).

> Mortgages have become more and more affordable each year. This means folks can afford more and more house for the same money, after all the bulk of the payment of a 30 year fixed is interest for the first 10+ years.

Not in aggregate, because the cost of a house increases as people bid for houses with the cheap credit.

> Yeah but at the end of that day that's irrelevant. The only thing that matters is what those units represent. If I gave you 5 today and 3 tomorrow does that mean anything? Or course not. 5 what and 3 what? That's what we're talking about

Right, and at the end of the day those units represent less value because of the actions of the central bank. Furthermore those actions were intended to have that exact effect. So how are you claiming that business owners are supposed to work in opposition to central bank policy? Clearly if the central bank wants wages to decrease in real terms, and business owners increase them nominally to make them neutral in real terms, this frustrates central bank policy and they will logically just print more money.

> It's your responsibility in a capitalist society to allocate capital most productively and so if this particular allocation isn't the most productive, your job is to go find it.

The problem is the distorting effect of low interest rates means that what is productive in terms of nominal r.o.i. is not what is productive in real terms, but the market distortions are so pervasive and persistent that people have to chase the nominal returns. This is incredibly destructive to value, society, and community.
lol, the problem ain't me, it's everybody else. Well, good luck in life! :)
ah okay, sounds like something I would do while there isn't price discovery.

I often times go steeper (how about $1 for the whole grant) so people can afford the 83(b) election to buy the underlying asset and have it just sitting as capital gains instead of ordinary income, it turns out the vesting period for restricted units is not regulated at all while giving you all the capability to play around with discounts and elections.

Unless you're a really shitty company or a fraud I still don't see many cases where selling to a SPAC gives a better exit than going public or selling to a strategic acquirer who'd be willing to pay more due to synergies and/or eliminating a competitive threat. Having celebrities associated with the company has some value, but not 20%-of-the-equity-value.
It was a real shock when I moved to the U.S. and the posted price on items didn't match with what I actually had to pay.
