I feel you're making a distinction that some people decided to make, but that is not really widely shared by others to warrant imposing it.

I see you also posted two differently-titled links to your "Data Oriented Programming" book last month. That does make it feel a bit like you're submarining your book with an 'Ask HN'.

My apologies if I sound negative. On a more positive note: perhaps write a good blog post about this, and perhaps the core of what your book is about? I imagine that would be much more appreciated than just a low effort link to the book or "Ask HN".

This comment was very unfairly down-voted in my opinion. I've noticed that hackernews often down-votes some interesting comments.

I would say that most people will not vote against the NHS though. They may vote to reform it or get it more money, but they will not mostly vote to get rid of it.

The NHS is an upside down version of the US healthcare system. In the UK the political system is hijacked by the population to keep doctors wages low. In the US the political system is hijacked by the healthcare industry in order to keep healthcare wages high.
This is speculation, but this may be related to resource compression and them trying to get the iTunes download size as small as possible since so many people were on dialup at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26415883

System 7 added that overall capability, and Apple shipped 4 different built-in resource compression algorithms over the years (the last of those added in OS 9), but it was equally possible for third parties to ship their own decompression routine's machine code along with the other resources. I remember iTunes using InstallerVISE, and I know VISE came with its own compression routines.

This. From my YC experience, I know that starting with a niche is good advice and advice they likely would have gotten.

Looking at the Launch HN [1], I think the question should instead be "has YC lost it's way when its latest company is founded by 4 University of Waterloo students?". When phrased that way, the answer seems obvious, given that YC started out funding current college students in Boston.

Having gone through YC in W19 with Wanderlog (https://wanderlog.com), I think one of its best parts is how it invests in founders who are outside the typical VC hobnob. I remember meeting folks who'd worked in utilities in Texas all their lives, multiple groups of university students taking a leave, and other groups to whom VCs would simply say "you need more traction"

Like most early stage investors, they're not investing in an idea -- they're investing in founders! I do have to say that YC partners probably encouraged the founders to pivot (like we had been told), but the ultimate choice of what to pivot to is the founders'. So like another comment said, cut these 20-year old university students some slack!

> "My reading from the outside is, the left needs to realize (I'm sure it applies to the right equally as well)..."

> "Neither does boxing people into this, that and that category do any good."

a good first start is to follow the latter maxim when discussing the former issue, particularly when it comes to issues of power and influence. you're already lost when you speak in terms of left and right. those are distractions from the real coercions impinging on our freedoms daily, from the desire to stagnate and wield (more) power. you need to pierce that construct, disregard it entirely, to understand and orient your resistance and dissatisfaction toward the rightful source.

two people chosen randomly are going to be vastly more similar than different, no matter where on the artificially-constructed political spectrum they are. this is how we know it's constructed and not real.

the left-right dichotomy, like all dichotomies, collapses our thinking into detrimental zero-sum tribalism pointing us against each other rather toward the real source of conflict, power-wielders, creating an artificial, seemingly-insurmountable gulf, that fractures the populace and shields power further from the will of the people (that's us).

a power structure can do awesome things, and sometimes we need it to do those awesome (positive) things temporarily, but stagnated, amassed power can do a lot of awesome, negatively-externalizing, and self-serving things not in the interest of the many (especially the future many).

the way to think about power is as flows, not stores, and especially not as individuals, which is where our primitive brains betray us constantly. to harness power, we must allow it to temporarily coalesce when and where it will do good, and dissapate steadily so as not to stagnate, and corrupt, in any one set of hands.
I think they can do some minor body adjustments to fins and things. But the core car and powertrain is the same.

In a sport where everyone drives the same car, marginal gains (1% more performance) can be what wins a race.
Yes, if you compare farmers with actors, they seem to have similar problems with stability of employment, low pay, and hard working conditions. In both cases these are partly caused by unavoidable factors about the industry, partly caused by ruthless suppliers, customers, investors and so on, partly caused (let's be honest) by the fact that many people make a lifestyle choice to do those professions, and will put up with poor conditions to keep on doing so.

However, we constantly hear about the rough deal farmers are getting and how important it is to do something to help them. And we never hear this about actors.
As a monthly payment, it doesn't make sense for individuals. But I think that's fine for selling to businesses.
Frankly, while I've bailed hay, grown my own food, etc. I'm also unfamiliar with this scale - just decided to go for it.

I already have someone willing to harvest for me and split the profits 50/50. I'm offering them a 30(me)/70(them) split on the condition they teach me to run their equipment, explain what they know, etc. There's not really a guide on starting a farm, you need to find someone who knows and work with them.

I also have family members in the cattle industry, construction and one family member specializing in maintaining prairie land. Speaking with them I am working to figure out the best way to maintain and improve the farm. For instance, I have a cabin on the property from the civil war period; we're going to repair it and put a new roof on etc.
Absolutely, but my point was it can't stop there. It has to keep trying a whole bunch of stuff to try to become more than just that.

Exactly. There are so many use cases for the RPi that very often people wonder why you’d ever want it to support X. When the people that want feature X have a completely different use case in mind.

Embedded people don’t need faster IO, so why use it? If you want to use it as a desktop, you might not need eMMC, but an M.2 slot would be critical.

Start by taking to your CTO to understand the basic architecture of your product and tech stack, so you know what tech you are using for frontend, backend, db, etc.

The other inflating asset is the $500k real estate. Here in the midwest, 40-acre farms a few dozen miles away from cities are constantly being converted into 40-unit residential housing complexes that sell at $500k/unit. Zillow and comps in my neighborhood say that my 50-year-old suburban ranch, which I bought 5 years ago, is worth more than double what I paid for it.

Buy the farm at $500k, sell it for $1M in a few years to another farmer or a developer, and you'd make double the profit of the cow farm itself. Or spend $200/square (which is itself insane) to build houses on it for a total of $24M and, if current trends continue, sell them all at $1M each for $16M profit.

With that insane real estate market status, the cows and lumber at $60k/year are almost a moo point. It's like a cow's opinion, you know, it just doesn't matter. It's "moo".

Not that the current real estate bubble isn't guaranteed not to pop. But there are a lot of powerful people and institutions which are highly incentivized to pretend it's not a bubble and make every effort to keep it from popping, so I think it's unlikely to do so.

I've used that method, too, with great success! Are you familiar with design sprints[0]? I think I learned it from there. FWIW, design sprints are a really good method to find a solution to a given issue in a decent amount time[1] (not too slowly but not too fast, either, as to not overlook alternative, superior solutions).

[0]: https://designsprint.org/

[1]: Those 4 days they mention on the website can often be reduced to a day or two once you've already done the sprint in the same problem area a few times (and provided you're tackling a small enough and specific enough issue with your sprint).
One alternative implementation of this which is very simple is as follows.

1. User makes a public declaration to always make a prediction using some platform. Like they release a tweet saying all future predictions will happen on futuu.re (or on a Blockchain)

2. They only release the sha hashes of their prediction to futuu.re, along with a date for that prediction, and users keep the true prediction with themselves. At any time before deadline they must reveal the content to the world and tell futuu.re about it. Futuu.re verifies that the sha matches the prediction and keeps an easy record. All predictions must start with a preamble.

3. futuu.re maintains three counters for a use, one showing the number of predictions made till that time, second showing predictions that should be revealed till that time, third showing the number of predictions that have been revealed . This establishes the long time accuracy of the user.

This way when someone reveals their pok then the public will know whether they tried to fool people because the users trust ratio will go down if they make a lot of predictions without revealing them. This is also more secure since the actual content is never stored on the server.

The only thing that needs to be done is to use a content formatter/validator at the time of hash creation for stylstic reasons and to make it convenient for public to verify the accuracy of the user.
Definitely agree. Back a year ago when you saw this kind of stuff all over Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc it felt so normalized. But now you have to go to fringe websites. It's still out there of course. But it's very back-alley and definitely makes you take what people are saying with a grain of salt.
If you're in with the big cloud providers you have no choice. Hybrid cloud is economically impossible due to the bandwidth costs.

Based on the github issue https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/21370 I don't see anything unusual for such a large project. They have thousands of issues open, merge dozens of PRs per day. I wouldn't expect one can fix a bug in a complex project in only a couple of hours. When I submitted PRs to large projects I needed hours just to get the test suite running, read the contributor guidelines, provide test cases, all for a couple of lines of changes.

Formula 1 is funny because in some ways it is like a sport of lawyers and engineers. Engineers try to push the envelope and lawyers dive through the minutiae of the regulations to try to find loopholes and justifications for the car changes.

The league even has these little arbitrated court cases where the teams defend themselves against the regulations, while the league or other teams fight in opposition. If a loophole is discovered, then it is either patched in the regulations the next year, or it becomes adopted by every other team immediately.

You mean West Romes fall. The Eastern Roman empire lasted until the 15th century. Eastern Rome was sacked in 1204 which was the actual blow that jump stated the Western Enlightenment after plundering Eastern Rome for 50 years.

He claims Weimar Germany is an example of failed hate speech laws, but that's a weird claim, since they didn't enforce them (certainly not against Nazis).

Then he has an impassioned section where he claims the hate speech laws from '45 failed. The laws that date back to denazification! But he writes them off, with an exclamation mark, as an utter failure since some people in Germany, 75 years later support the far right. That rather moves the goal posts.
Almost all NPR stories that analyse race concern "black or brown" people. Why do you think that a disproportionate amount of content should be generated focusing on one issue? If my premise is correct, that more than 12% of NPR content contains racial analysis, I don't feel that the burden is on me to explain why I think this is an unjustified proportion. There are other interesting things to talk about in the world and time is limited. That's why. Why should one issue pre-empt others day in and day out?

I also think American Football (and baseball) does a good job of having quantifiable action outside of scoring plays. Every play has a clear result, often with obvious valence. So even though it doesn't count directly towards the final score, you can build up tension and excitement for example just on 3rd down conversion attempts.

An experienced viewer might be able to pick out this sort of mini battle during other sports, and there are also more nuanced battles in football that a random viewer may not pick up on. But for somebody casual, or even just listening on the radio or checking for updates on an app, there is a lot more "result" happening on a football field.

Plus the pauses help, when somebody gets the better of their opponent in a traditional goal-based sport you usually know mere moments later whether it had an impact on the game. A 3rd down conversion on the other hand can have minutes of game time (let alone real time) before one knows whether it led to a score. And even if it didn't, there is at least a clear impact on time of possession.

So I think perception of too little vs too much scoring can be helped by this dynamic, where real scores still feel very impactful but there are "fake" scores one can also root for on a shorter timescale.

> They're commonly understood slogans, used to indicate what side you're on (or at least what side you're opposed to) while SOUNDING innocent.

This confusion was created the other side's choice of name, whether purposely or not.

You start off with a phrase like Black Lives Matter. This is clearly a political slogan designed to provoke opponents into taking the negation of it, i.e. into claiming that black lives don't matter.

The problem with it is that it's too clever by half, because it gives opponents the ability to claim the middle. All Lives Matter.

And it's a two party system so now both the center and the right are standing under the banner of the neutral slogan. Now BLM declares that ALM are really just a bunch of secret racists because otherwise they have to eat the rhetorical self-own.

But this is just an attempt to reassert the politically-motivated original framing, i.e. that anyone who disagrees with any BLM political position -- even if the disagreement comes from the center -- is saying they think black lives don't matter. Which is not necessarily the case.
Look into the effects of your ideas, and you'll see them wind up in rising prices. Your first example, excluding industry members who don't meet a particular standard, is one of the most typical forms of "colluding to raise prices" you could possibly think of, often expressed in the form of professional certification.

The only things an economic organization can do are raise prices and lower costs. For a labor union, costs are labor; from the consumer end the workers' "lower costs" mean less work is being done, which shows up as higher prices for consumers.

We've been shipping a Docker-based app to customers for years, and every now and then one of them runs a security scanner on our images. I have yet to see a scan that isn't a disaster of false positives (for the reasons outlined in the article and more!)

One of the craziest recent examples was a scan using a tool called Twistlock. Many of our images are built from an upstream image that may have outdated apt dependencies, so one of the first things we do is upgrade them. Twistlock flagged _every instance_ of this because "Package binaries should not be altered" (in other words, between subsequent layers in an image). I am baffled how anyone at Twistlock decided that this was a useful thing for their product to detect, or why any Twistlock customer trusts it given issues like this.
Perhaps you missed "a house you live in (not rent)"

I agree with the idea renting a home would be similar to a farm. The whole thing is you have to generate an income from the asset.

Stocks are, as you mentioned, kind of similar - but IMO not precisely the same. Often companies have expenses that also inflate, so it's more similar to gold or holding something static. When you own the means of production it's a tad different. Personally, I'd consider stocks somewhere in-between. Better than gold, less good than production your own.

However, owning a farm or means of production does come with more risk.
Ultimately the problem is the price...
