What's different is that the entire commercial space launch business isn't very big. I think it's been somewhere in the ballpark of a couple dozen launches a year. SpaceX could conceivably satisfy it just by building one rocket and flying it over and over again. (Granted they don't have upper stage re-usability yet, and the Falcon 9 boosters have a limited lifespan, but they're working to get there with Starship.) So, if they want to have a viable business that involves a large fleet of reusable rockets they need to become their own customer to make sure the rockets don't just sit idle.

Maybe this sort of thing happens all the time with new companies in new markets. The space launch market though has been around for a long time. To me it seems unusual for an industry that's been around for half a century or so to not be big enough to absorb the excess capacity of a newcomer.
The Death of a Node.js Process
Sure, but the subsequent buyer of the NFT is (potentially/likely) not a party to any contract.
This is a deliberately misleading statement.

When compressor A reduces file size by 90%, and compressor B reduces same file by 99%, it's not "9% better". It's 10x times better. Because it can fit 10x more data in the same storage budget.

The rest of the paragraph get exactly the same kind of bias. Take the absolute slowest mode, which is even guarded by special options, and make a
general statement based solely on the speed of the slowest advanced setting, implying everything is slow. This is another willful misrepresentation, as zstd is built primarily for speed, and at its default level, compresses not only more than gzip level 9, but also at more than 10x the speed. Not even mentioning decompression speed which is much faster, nor the integrated multithreading mode which can make the difference even more startling since it is not available in default gzip.

In short, this is a troll statement. You have picked a side, and contort representation to correspond to your pre-conceived agenda. At the age of disinformation, when bots and troll farms are deliberately pushing confusion onto unsuspecting readers, we have to call these acts as they are.

You can create NFTs on proof-of-stake blockchains: https://opensea.io/blog/announcements/tezos-nfts-are-coming-...
COM isn't for headless, it is for interacting with the application programatically. VBA communicates with Office via COM. You can interact from within an excel session (for instance through VBA or an Excel-DNA addin) or from outside of an excel session (by launching an excel session from your script). It's not headless in the sense that it will open a normal excel sessions with the UI (and potential for modal dialog boxes blocking your code).

COM however does not allow you to create your own user defined functions in excel, so for that you need to create an xll (for instance via Excel-DNA).

I am less familiar with the javascript API but I understand it is newer, and meant to create components for office 365, it does not offer the full access to the office API.
I think Delphi got caught out by the coupling of the IDE and the need to support that maintenance - GNU C++ was a shot across the bows, but when Java came that business model sank.

Unfortunately. Pascal and decedents have a lot going for them.
There is nothing in ERC-721 to permit such a requirement.

Centralized marketplaces for the resale of 721s (NFTs) can enforce this for sales they arrange, but there's nothing inherent to the blockchain or NFT to require it, which means that sales bypassing such centralized marketplaces would not be subject to those conventions.
How Data Annotation Company Acquires Core Competence Through Technology?
Would be nice to understand the usage (I'll explain).

For running macOS with proper identification you'd usually like to have a 'valid' serial number / Mainboard and other identifiers.

Unless you need to deploy A LOT of VMs you'd only need to general codes once.

But... (with regards to the above tool):

* Usually you'd like to check the code isn't being used. here (https://checkcoverage.apple.com/). it has rate limit and some security measures after being 'abused' in the past.

* Apple is rumored to switch to random serials
(https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/apple-will-randomize...)

Both makes me wonder what is this tool and how is it more useful than existing ones.
Also the free advertising for the brand of Y-combinator. With the reach HN has these days having your name out there right in the domain means that the on balance positive reputation of HN rubs off on your enterprise. It's basically a huge 'sponsored by' byline. This doesn't necessarily translate into a net positive for a company, but in this case I am willing to bet it does.

It's honestly a fairly transparent transaction, and much preferable to the opaque world of on-line targetted advertising. I like how my ad-blocker just sits here twiddling its thumbs.

Dealing with the Problems of Scaleups
Reid Hoffman talks in his book Blitzscaling about the sacrifices a company needs to make so it can scale aggressively fast. And when your job is to lead a team and you join a company that’s blitzscaling, nobody tells you what was sacrificed.

There may be structural problems, missing information, lack of trust between teams, poor defined business goals, lack of a unified engineering or product strategy, communication problems between departments, huge dependencies between teams, a lot of bureaucracy and the list goes on and on. I’ve faced some of these problems. I tried to solve some, I had to accept some and I’m still frustrated with others. Here I'm sharing my experience about how to identify and deal with some of them. But I also want to know yours.

A less carbon intense life is possible, but much easier without the fear of a needy tomorrow...the consumer may be the biggest cause of so much CO2, but like in "Grapes of Wrath" when you are pushed into a place where you can't grow what you need, can't stay in a place for free so have to go out and work to buy your food and then have too much money so you buy useless stuff....also from that book (prescient in today's awaited ecological collapse) the idea that fruit prices were so low they built factories to put them in cans...to conclude imo the lifestyle that comes from the "western" world's slave mentality to work and growth is the main cause of climate change...that and the overabundance of never ending more printed money...

For me it's at least the following:

- Attention to detail

- Control of flow (if this then that) mentality

- More binary thinking

- Precision when describing (programming does not allow ambiguity)

- A lot of frustration tolerance :)

That's at least my experience
Well... if you're running a tech company, you need a CEO who understands tech. Why is that such a surprise?
Maybe, but it is probably something that would’ve emerged naturally, even if the guys running the current shows haven’t been born.

Its a step in the human evolution in the capitalist internet era.
I recommend the Oculus Quest, it’s really the best VR experience out there. If that’s not a consumer product I don’t what is...
But what if the culture that thinks murder is okay in some cases dominates (think the us, japan, the united emirates etc)? In that case your own culture condemning it would be "objectively worse". If you measure objectivity by the major population, is it objective? I think not.
> you cannot reduce the complexity of a programming language by expanding the size of the language with greater features. This sounds like a contradiction

(Maybe I'm missing something, but) I'm not sure why this should sound at all like a contradiction – how could increasing a language's size/features reduce its complexity?! Maybe you meant "the complexity of programs in a language"?
I read it as a jocular/facetious comment, a meta-comment, if you wish.

I have driven passed it many, many times. I can tell you that the visual impact is minimal, and the area around it is "untouched natural or agricultural landscape". Blocking the skyline? How tall do you think the cooling towers are? Wind farms have a much larger visual impact.
Those are good ones. I'd imagine there's many other relevant dimensions as well. As we all know, correlation does not imply causation.

To your point, I'd like to see when these companies were founded, their lines of business, as well as what kind of competition they were facing when they went to market.

The space Stripe in seems extremely lucrative, for example.
I have lots of experience, created several font renderers in the CPU and GPU.

No, doing CPU drawing is too inefficient. Without too much trouble you get 50x more efficiency in the GPU, that is, you can draw 50frames per every frame in the CPU, using the same amount of energy and time.

If you go deeper, low level with Vulkan-Metal and specially control the GPU memory, you can get 200x, being way harder to program.

CPU drawing is very useful for testing: You create the reference you compare the GPU stuff with.

CPU drawing is the past, not the future.

Just as an FYI, every tech company invests in some Irish presence, for the tax benefits.

However, most of them don't put engineering there, and a lot of the leadership is often in London.

That's the context of the post that you replied to, so that you can maybe understand more of the nuances.

Here's a t-fal kettle that suits.

I have a nearly 20 year old T-Fal kettle that I keep waiting to fail so I can replace w/ one that allows me to adjust the temperature but the thing just keeps working. Seriously, 20 years, used 2-5 times/day.

Amazon sells the T-fal BF6138 for $33 in the US. It has a window to see water levels, temp control, and a scale filter. Warning: the scale filters on mine only last 8-10 years. But I can't complain.

Blockchain Privacy Overview: Monero vs. Zcash vs. FreeTON
Privacy is a controversial area in blockchain technology development. It balances between protecting user data and hiding illegal activities. But while regulators are concerned about violations, innovators are looking for solutions to ensure anonymity. Let's take a look at today's privacy technologies and examples of their successful practical use, as well as learn how the Free TON developers work in this direction.
Development Guide for Integrating Huawei Account Kit Using Unity
Hi, I'm the original author. The point of the article is as follows: there is clearly a trend towards top market-cap companies being founded by software engineering CEOs, but why? The data regarding the trend is pretty clear. I believe there are two reasons:

1. Software has become a global form of super infrastructure that facilitate scaling, but there's more going on.
2. I believe that guys like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk and Gates are using software effectively to speed value fulfillment cycles – pretty much in everything they are doing, from rockets to eradicating disease, or just shipping packages.

Software engineering CEOs are realizing value at faster rates, IMO, by executing well on all 4 stages of the value fulfillment cycle -- see https://iism.org/post/glossary-value-stage-82. I mean, these guys are all billionaires, so clearly the market thinks they are valuable (Larry, Sergey and Ma Huateng as well).

As to why: I believe it’s the relationship between emerging infrastructure and the value fulfillment cycle. Software happens to be the emerging super infrastructure, so software engineers are naturally emerging as the next generation of industrialists. Not to say there aren’t other emerging trends of significance; but for now, software and software variants is the emerging super infrastructure. Discovery of value has always been the result of iterative discovery – software just happens to facilitate quick iterations of value attempts, and software engineer tend to be more Agile than traditional plan driven companies.

But the brothers are actually Irish, and seem pretty invested in Ireland. Unlike in the case of almost every other tech CEO, who play up features of Ireland that they don't have experience with.

Like, I am very glad that the Irish government supported these brothers, and very sad that the Irish banks refused to work with them when they tried to start Stripe in Ireland.

Actually, it may be.
Yes the risks are not that high, but neither are the rewards. Basically you choose to do something (marketing, sales, dealing with bad clients) over something else (meetings, corporate bullshit, dealing with bad managers). Maybe you get more financial upside on average (especially if you're good at marketing/sales) for slightly less security/peace of mind (as employee if you get sick, or have a child, you still get a salary; you can have paid vacations, etc).

Sure, freelancer/consultant is a valid path, but only if you're good at (and enjoy) marketing & sales. Otherwise - you can get lucky to work for a startup that IPOs (or a company whose shares increase dramatically) and end up earning a lot more as salaried.
Joe Jackson, Obvious Song:

"There was a man in the jungle

Trying to make ends meet

Found himself one day with an axe in his hand

When a voice said "Buddy can you spare that tree

We gotta save this world-starting with your land."

It was a rock 'n' roll millionaire from the USA

Doing three to the gallon in a big white car

And he sang and he sang 'till he polluted the air

And he blew a lot of smoke from a Cuban cigar"
We should also not forget the giant decentralised batterypack on wheels that is being rolled out.

EVs have a big capacity. Not industrial sized and with clear limitations (at 08:00 it needs to be charged in order to bring you to work), but all together, having every car in future being a storage, makes for a huge buffer.

Developing Exercise tracking app using Huawei Location Kit
I grew up 70 km away from a nuclear power plant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almaraz_Nuclear_Power_Plant), and I spent the last two years living 3 km away from a nuclear reprocessing plant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Nuclear_Fuel_Limited), and I never gave a damn about it. So the answer is yes.
I'm not sure what the common sentiment on this sort of technology is on this site, but I for one view autonomous military technology as a positive development.

Warfare is the failure of all other conflict resolution mechanisms. The goal of warfare is to end the capability of an enemy to continue to wage that war, so as to put them in a position where they have to acquiesce in the disagreement that could not otherwise be resolved. This means targeting strategic military and economic assets of an enemy.

Historically these assets have been human beings. Until very recently, even after the industrial revolution, manpower was the prime driver of an economy. It still is in most places in the world. As production becomes increasingly automated, the targets that will involve more loss of life will be military targets, unless military operations are automated as well. Automating military operations ensures less loss of life.

Automated weapons designed for defense, such as defense of a border or perimeter, are equally as morally defensible as manual defense using lethal force. The morality of the action in both circumstances is predicated on the right of the defender to occupy that territory. If a transgressor is warned that passing a point may end in loss of life and they choose to take the risk anyway, neither scenario is more or less morally defensible. Where do we get this idea that it is morally superior to have a guy do the killing?
Why would anyone pay $5 a month subscription to a YouTube channel that is already free?

The idea of selling things online was never about how to sell them to people who don't want them. You're clearly not the target market. It would be for people who are so fiercely loyal they don't think twice about how nice of a bonus it is to be able to be in the select audience that CAN comment. I don't know if people are this loyal to publications, but I've certainly felt it towards YouTube personalities that align with my thinking so strongly that I feel supporting them is promoting my values.
But it is easier to accomodate to if everyone is affected, everything is connected: you may not be affected, but the school of your kids is, and the opening of daycare, the opening times of the stores, your sports facilities, etc.

If everyone changes, you can keep all the dependencies the same, otherwise you have to reconsider all dependencies.
Four 8 hour days. Australia the norm is 7.5 for a working week of 37.5hrs. This proposal would mean 32 hours of work.

I think a real 4 day working week would be closer to 28 hours or less: it should mean employers get somebody else for the fifth day or three three days left in the week: closer to jobshare, no overtime, people work less but the work is shared around.

I don't understand the disconnect on this topic with technically proficient and interested people. We can talk all day about how autonomous driving is safer than manual driving, but as soon as weapons are mentioned we rely on this idea that not having a human in the decision making process makes error more likely. How can both be true?
I drank 2-3€ wine all my youth, that’s how we got drunk. It’s cheap and it does the trick rose is better than red which is better than white. Cheap white is the absolute worst. Now I can tell the difference between this and a 7-8€ wine. The higher it gets the more hit or miss it is, but I can taste that some red are “cleaner”. Now that they’re 20€ or 100€ I’m not sure there’s an actual difference...

My son is not old enough to read it yet, so I've been reading it to him, and it's the only thing he wants to read for bedtime story now.

I read them fairly regularly even as a teenager so I was old enough to understand most of the jokes the first time I read them. But every so often I see one that I understand in a new light now that I'm a parent myself, in particular, the ones from Calvin's parent's point of view. And of course, some of the mild political commentary, and also the commentary on Waterson's own constant fights with Universal Press Syndicate over merchandising rights (or really his categoriacal refusal to do so) and the fight with newspapers for more space so that he didn't have to constrain the drawings to the rigid formats they demanded for easier editing.

I read the collection titled "Calvin and Hobbes: The Sunday Pages 1985-1995" in which Waterson discusses the context of these strips at length, as well as his artistic process. I highly recommend that one to anyone who is a fan.

Let's go back a few thousands of years. There were no refrigerators, and juice-production facilities were not very clean. Also, people were not aware of the existence of bacteria and germs.

And given these conditions, you want to drink juice, or the best available alternative, at any arbitrary moment during the year...

The solution? fermentation. Just ferment the hell out of everything and store it for years. Now you can drink juice anytime you want, it just tastes weird but it's better than nothing.
I've been working 4 days since 2006, when our first child was born. I don't see myself going back to working 5 days a week, even when the youngest one is older.

Thanks for the write up. Yeah i can see the huge performance difference, one thing that GPU bothers me is now every vendor provides a different set of API, you kinda have to use a hardware abstraction layer to use the GPU if you really want cross platform, and that's often a huge effort or dependency and hard to do right, even in OpenGL days it's easy because you only have to deal with one API instead of three vulkan/metal/d3d. With CPU if ignore the performance lack it's just a plain pixel array that can be easily displayed on any environment and you have control over any bits of it, I just can't get over the lightness and elegance difference between the two..
