Gundam Unicorn is beautifully animated and very detailed. I notice something new every time I watch it. Very fun and a great introduction to the genre.

> The way it’s supposed to work is if you’re salaried/exempt, you’re getting paid to do a job, not for a specific number of hours

That's the opposite of how it is supposed to work when you are on salary.

You are paid for units of work, which is hours worked.

The output is not what you produced, but what the working force globally produced.

Being salaried means being paid a flat rate (forfait) for being there: sometimes you produce more (you lose), sometimes less (you gain), but the pay stays the same.
> we hear that owning a digital "asset" is actually the same thing as a physical "asset" because

What's the difference between paying 100x for a purse, etc, and a digital status symbol? It's not bought as a good, it's bought as a symbol. Yeah, it does seem wasteful, and I generally think "spending Dad's money" when I see it, but it doesn't offend me.

> but doesn't anyone else think this NFT art thing is bullshit?

Yeah. Because it's not clear that it's just a prestige way to sponsor someone. Non-techies may not understand that the NFT offers no control over the art, the way that owning an original allows you to lock it in a vault or burn it.
Fun thing, I looked it up for banknotes. Turns out there are only 15 billion euro banknotes. Fits in a Postgres database! Most of the cycles are extremely short: Withdraw at the ATM, pay at the bakery, back to the bank. If banks took note of note numbers, it would probably be straightforward to trace 80% of the transactions. And trace banknotes that stayed 6 months offline, and those that are always withdrawn by someone and used in a specific suburb (=possible drug deal), especially when he pays everything else with credit card.

Of course it is 20x less efficient than tracking Bitcoins, and requires input sources from several places, but it’s fun to know that even banknotes are quite easily traceable.
Responding to the original comment before it got edited:

> Google still works for all, as I know.

So I should google everything that hits the front page of HN, even if I already read the original link and it looks boring, just in case it might be actually be relevant to my interests but the submitter chose a particularly non-representative example to share…?

I think the current approach of “link to the discussion-worthy part” is fine :3
Others have interpreted these debates in a similar way:

Borland had a Modula-2 compiler, created by Martin Odersky of Scala fame.

They decided to focus on Turbo Pascal instead.

Turbo Pascal units are based on USCD units actually.

Outside MS-DOS, Modula-2 had better chances, but since it was MS-DOS that won the 16 bit wars, it became irrelevant, as the only major alternative were UNIX clones were C and C++ ruled.
I downvoted this post for lamenting being downvoted and accusing the HN audience of a specific crime with no evidence.

Right, like all the intrepid outsider-scientists that are resilient to the propaganda of a round Earth. Sadly, many of the commenters here are still somewhat susceptible to propaganda, since they locked their account and then believed the results of the experiment. For maximum resilience to scientific propaganda, they should perform the experiment repeatedly and refuse to accept the results each time.

I don't think judging things by such subreddits is a good idea in general.

Any community centering on the negative seems to devolve into being a complete cess-pit. This makes sense; it takes a lot of obsession to post day after day about how your life sucks, or how the world is horrible, or how women don't like you. People having something better to do than to wallow in negativity don't do that.

The most prominent members in any community tend to be the ones that are the most dedicated, and when your top users are being dedicated to doom and gloom, it doesn't make for a nice place.

Anybody remotely sane will run away from such a place or not join to start with, making the situation even worse over time.

At some point the community becomes about the negativity -- anybody who managed to make a positive change will be deemed a traitor to the cause, and shouted down or expelled. Add to this that the rating systems and often the moderators will exert pressure on selecting for the worst of the worst.

I'm not sure that looking at such a community is very helpful for understanding the actual problem (NEETs or whatnot). I think if anything it gives an insight into how socialization can go wrong, and it seems to look most the same regardless of what negative thing people form a community around.
I wonder what will come sooner. Displays everywhere, or ubiquitous AR where you can share screens with nearby people. The second one could be nicer in theory as it is opt in and wouldn’t cause light pollution.

That is demonstrably false. As long as we agree that a behaviour (like murder, for example) are absolutely not OK across the majority of human population, then cultures that display more of this behaviour are objectively worse.
When I started grad school, in 1986, I'd written a lot of Pascal and used Turbo Pascal on my PC. But the school used Sun workstations with unix, so I had to learn C pretty quickly. Nobody seemed to use Pascal. There was a Modula II compiler around, but it was a resource hog and never popular.
Oberon was published about the same time. I thought it was pretty cool and worked on a compiler for it, though the language evolved out from under me.
My impression is that none of the Wirth languages made much of an impression in any of the US grad schools in that era. Of course, I didn't see everything that was going on, but I saw most of the compiler work. Almost 100% in C, moving eventually to C++.
> it should have occured to me that combining ketchup with thickeners might be a well-researched topic in food science already.

There were articles during the Gulf War about armed forces being unhappy with thin ketchup, so they brought in standards for flow rate. (I'm struggling to find those for some reason).

Here's the FDA spec for consumer ketchup.

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfCFR/CFR...

> (b) Quality. (1) The standard of quality for catsup is as follows: The consistency of the finished food is such that its flow is not more than 14 centimeters in 30 seconds at 20 deg.C when tested in a Bostwick Consistometer in the following manner: Check temperature of mixture and adjust to 20+/-1 deg.C. The trough must also be at a temperature close to 20 deg.C. Adjust end-to-end level of Bostwick Consistometer by means of the spirit level placed in trough of instrument. Side-to-side level may be adjusted by means of the built-in spirit level. Transfer sample to the dry sample chamber of the Bostwick Consistometer. Fill the chamber slightly more than level full, avoiding air bubbles as far as possible. Pass a straight edge across top of chamber starting from the gate end to remove excess product. Release gate of instrument by gradual pressure on lever, holding the instrument down at the same time to prevent its movement as the gate is released. Immediately start the stop watch or interval timer, and after 30 seconds read the maximum distance of flow to the nearest 0.1 centimeter. Clean and dry the instrument and repeat the reading on another portion of sample. Do not wash instrument with hot water if it is to be used immediately for the next determination, as this may result in an increase in temperature of the sample. For highest accuracy, the instrument should be maintained at a temperature of 20+/-1 deg.C. If readings vary more than 0.2 centimeter, repeat a third time or until satisfactory agreement is obtained. Report the average of two or more readings, excluding any that appear to be abnormal.
It was also... amusing watching capacity payments suddenly cease to be an evil subsidy to big coal and become an essential part of competent grid operations that Texas stupidly didn't have because they're right-wing libertarian nutjobs that think the free market solves everything. And by amusing I mean we're all fucked.
Quite surprised at this comment. The reason I got into blockchain was _because_ of the incredibly difficult technical challenges it poses. Among the few I get to work on:

- How to implement robust p2p networking algorithms for sharding in a distributed system such as Ethereum (a very deep rabbit hole), as Ethereum is migrating to a "sharded" architecture

- How to solve the "data availability problem" https://github.com/ethereum/research/wiki/A-note-on-data-ava.... The current solution uses advanced cryptography known as KZG commitments https://dankradfeist.de/ethereum/2020/06/16/kate-polynomial-...

- How to solve the problem of "transaction frontrunning", in which miners have an asymmetric advantage in ordering transactions they put in blocks for their benefit, which can adversely affect users creating those transactions. This is a problem known as MEV (Miner Extractable Value) https://research.paradigm.xyz/MEV and there is some incredibly sophisticated work going into this problem. It is a deep engineering problem as well

I could go on and probably give you 20 other incredibly technical, challenging problems that are on the bleeding-edge of this technology. If you're interested, would be happy to chat more!

That things that's clever is that it's a great way to test the limits of their refurbished boosters. A paying customer might be unhappy if SpaceX uses their launch vehicle to push the limits of minimal maintenance and reusability. But for their own payloads, that's not a big deal. Especially since if there is an oopsie, the Starlink payloads are much more easily replaced since they're mass produced
They behave like that and pretty much every user (past a couple months) knows that. When a person presses "like" they know that some of their followers will see that. It signals "this is interesting" publicly, what other purpose could it serve? People that follow you would like to see it, of course. If you don't like people's likes don't follow them.

That said, the feature has always worked for me - actually it works too well that I have to think before I use it. Because after setting it once, it seems like I never hear from that person again. So it feels like an unfollow for me. Maybe the functionality depends on how much you interact with the person on Twitter? I don't know. I don't interact with people much on twitter, so when I choose that option, I don't see any likes from that person ever again, and it feels like I see their tweets A LOT less often than desired.

I’m for a full accounting of all of it. Maybe we can agree all power generation for an industrialized world comes with enormous cost and trade-offs.

Where does that leave us? You need to supplement renewables with something. Your options seem like fossil fuels or nuclear right now. That’s what this all comes down to - the load factor of renewables sucks for most of the world, storage tech isn’t suitable for the demand that would be placed on it, nor will it be for the foreseeable future barring a miracle. So one either ends up saying that we’ll hold out using fossil fuels to augment the <20% load factor of solar, or we think about embracing nuclear with an assumption that it can be done safely. Point #2 that you bring up is an outcome skewed by many roadblocks of our own making, so people open to nuclear tend to reject the assumption that this is a quality inherent to the technology.

I literally just don’t see any options with a lower carbon footprint to meet demand in a highly reliable manner, though I would love a miracle energy generating technology to magically appear that could let us avoid nuclear.
Paypal is a different type of payment option. If I pay via paypal my details are hidden from the store.

If I type in my credit card on the site they might use stripe or evopay or something else I wouldn't know either way. My details are save on the site.

On digitalocean you can pay via credit card or paypal. If you pay via credit card they take money out for service automatically. If you use paypal you manually buy the amount if credit you wish.

I think that's known as pricing discipline! The opposite of chasing business no matter what the margin.

Aah ok, that makes sense, sorry for the confusion. I didn't know zip worked that way, although in hindsight that explains why it's so simple and fast to extract and/or modify only a part of a .zip archive, even on old computers.

Perhaps it's because the vinegars can settle out, so you want to shake the bottle? You can't do that with a tube.
The premise is fallacious on several levels. Nuclear power and renewables are a dichotomy even if one is better for stable baseload power and the other lower in kWhr cost. France isn't going to give up MAD just because renewables are cheaper - it is still a budget synergy since they will have reactors anyway. No country has or will go 100% CO2 reduction focus. The perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good.
I'm African and I think these name changes are ludicrous. Why not fix the (hopefully unconscious) hiring biases that surely exist in big tech that ends up hiring overwhelmingly male candidates of European and Asian origin?

Reminds me of something Martin Luther King (MLK) said after he started the second phase of his activism. Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts had been passed 1964 and 1965 respectively, so MLK started to agitate for economic opportunities and equality. He noted that this would be the harder fight because allowing people to vote costs nothing. It was during this phase of his activism that he was assassinated.

Changing the name of your repo means little and is not a substitute for looking deeply at your organization and asking the hard questions. You can call your repo Conan the Barbarian conqueror of all, or master. It doesn't matter to me.

Edit

Can I just add that IMO overcoming bias can only be achieved by individual effort. No amount of talk about diversity and equality by the company will fix the problem if any persons involved in the hiring process has biases and preferences rooted in ethnicity. If diversity initiatives were sufficient Google would be a more diverse place today. Not faulting them for trying though.

My experience: I once interviewed a candidate who was much older than the rest of the team and I could see ageism welling up in me as soon as I met him. I had to consciously blind myself to the age of the candidate and forced myself to consider the him on merit only. Turns out the guy was great, and I agreed with the team that he would be a good hire. All I ask is not to look at the color or my skin but only on what I know. And do not offer me a job that I cannot do just because you want to be diverse.

This line of reasoning also assumes that cooperation is some kind of ideal, however it's pretty clear that nature typically favors competition over cooperation.

If two alien species ever came into conflict, I'd place my bets on the species that has a rich history of competition and war rather than the one that favors peace and cooperation above all else.
Yeah, and one of the big questions I have is, how can you convince companies to share their profits with their employees? Its seems that nowadays, it's just not in our values as a people to do that. Nothing in the law demands it.

I'm not sure raising corporate taxes is the right solution — that would just seem to share with the government. I am in favor of raising the minimum wage; in particular, the graph of minimum wage adjusted for inflation is what convinces me: we're near a low point, for minimum wage, presently[1]. I am in favor of better collective bargaining. (E.g., unions, but this seems to be highly contentious; and I would ban forced arbitration & non-competes, but IME most people are either completely ignorant on these issues, or misunderstand what is meant by "forced" to mean "all arbitration"…)

Do AWS and GCP actually have RDMA fabrics now? The AWS "low latency" one of a year or so ago had a similar latency to what I got with 1GbE at one time.
Here's a not-amateur historian who makes a similar argument:

Ó Siochrú, M., 2007. Atrocity, codes of conduct and the Irish in the British Civil wars 1641–1653. Past and Present, 195(1), pp.55-86.

Relevant quote: "This savage action [Drogheda] shocked opinion in Ireland and abroad, but by a strict interpretation of the rules of war Cromwell acted entirely within his rights. The commander of Drogheda, Sir Arthur Aston, refused a summons to surrender, thereby forfeiting his life and that of the garrison in the event of a successful assault."

Later he describes Cromwell as moderating his tactics in response to "facts on the ground": exchanging prisoners, and accepting the surrender of Clonmel. After Cromwell left Ireland, the war became bloodier.

Note that Ó Siochrú does not in general spare the English. He describes the "savage practices of England and Scotland" affecting Ireland in the 1640s, and gives examples of Irish prisoners of war being killed (in England), and of this being protested against by contemporary Royalists.
The same user later tweeted: "to the people getting mad at me for this, it's ya' own fault for believing a single tweet from an unverified source instead of looking at the official twitter pages. i'm just havin' fun." https://twitter.com/SPLLTHEMANSNAME/status/13711921957772328...

So yes, unsurprisingly, something that "apparently" happened but wasn't sourced didn't actually happen.
Another reason why it hasn't been banned yet is that it is generally easier for people in political/legal positions to avoid making a commitment on whether they're for or against bitcoin by simply purchasing a little bit.

All they have to do is purchase JUST enough that they don't care which way it flips.

If you take the argument one level deeper, you might come to the conclusion that nearly all rational participants in politics will purchase some amount of it. And if the price rises while this happens, they may personally feel like supporting it rather than destroying it.

And since the price will rise while this happens, well, it becomes a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
There's a similar controversy about radiation hormesis[1]. Personally my suspicion is that low doses are at least harmless if not therapeutic, because of the evolutionary benefits of the stress response[2]. However I do freely admit that it's possible that there is no therapeutic or even safe level of alcohol consumption. Similarly there may be no safe level of BPA exposure or any number of other stressors.

Its up to the citizens to pay taxes, while the largest companies like Amazon pay almost nothing for decades.
Yep it is totally possible.

I would find a therapist who can help you. The other way to help yourself is to re-frame the negative emotional experience into something positive. I recommend Feeling Great and Feeling Good as two books by David Burns that help. He has a podcast too and you can email him etc...

There are a lot of podcasts out there from entrepreneurs and now VCs who had failures. Most of them look back on those days fondly in retrospect and laugh about it.

Startups fail for all kinds of reasons that have nothing to do with you and out of your control. Most of the time its because the startup was too early. Pets.com and Webvan are the illustrative examples.

When you hit MVP you basically can't keep up with demand so it's really hard to fail when customers want your product.

Before the MVP you are in the search phase to find that
product which can be stressful. But don't let it be the fear of failure. Rather be the fear of crap I have to get a regular job!

So the way to think about it is to enjoy the experience and take an undifferentiated view of it. That can be hard to do if you don't have your basic needs met or a safety net.
The author then goes onto tell us about "actual data" without backing that claim up from the first sentence:

It's very sad, but some people always aim too high, don't grow and learn from their situation and have mental handicaps or trauma preventing improvement. It's not all on the individual, but society externalizes costs on the weakest.
