Strong disagree that it hasn't evolved; modern advances in materials and modeling mean drivers have wider ranges and lower distortion. Modern DSP can extend the low frequency response even further than just porting, and provide a crossover more tuned to the specific drivers used than is practical with analog components, or even correct for room modes. And we know way more about controlling off-axis dispersion than we did in the 80s.

Which especially means that small speakers can be way better than similar sized speakers were in the 80s, kinda relevant when you're using them for a computer. Though, maybe less true at $100.
I hadn't thought of those things but I did the same in the office too. I still look in the mirror or camera to see if there is food in my teeth :) but yeah a lot less stress from silly stuff. I am more conscious of appearing 'away' now though.
i see what you're saying and perhaps i shouldn't have been so negative in my original post.

I think that people who want to write or code shouldn't be afraid to put imperfect work out there.

But if to apply for a job you also have to produce "content" to build your brand, I maintain that this is not a good outcome.
C&C remastered is much better to indulge in some single player C&C nostalgia. It's great for that, the remastered graphics are crisp and it includes an insane amount of content - behind the scenes, all the expansions etc.

It also fixes none of the balance issues. If you want a good multiplayer experience, OpenRA is the one to get.
While technically somewhat a valid concern, vendor lock in on an OS level has never been Googles MO. Quite the opposite actually: The more the merrier.
Every Google service (Maps, Docs, Mail, Drive, Calendar, Analytics Admin etc ppt) works in all major browsers. You might get the best out-of-the-box UX with their offerings in Chrome because authentication/authorisation is handled on an app level, but other than that there's really nothing stopping you from using, say, their spreadsheets in Safari.
The fact that they kind of own TC39 while also actually owning the browser with the largest market share is not optimal on many, many levels, but, frankly, the risk of them pushing a hard lock in on any level, to me, is negligible.
They're monetising telemetry and ultimately don't care where that's coming from.

We have many fictions we indulge in about authenticity and value.

NFTs are a new fiction. They might even be dumber than other currently accepted fictions.

But the discussion is "which of these fictions is the most stupid?" rather than "NFTs are stupid". We are already a long way from genuine utility or intrinsic value and into the realms of social consensus and value-through-association.

so Theranos. Having a couple in the leadership is among the worst things for the business. Any chance for even minimum reality check is gone, and instead there is synergetic self-misleadings-amplification and mutually reinforced bubble detached from reality. We had at some point an SVP and a chief architect couple - it was just a twilight, there was completely no way to subject business decisions to technical reality cross-check and vice-verse, and it was a hilarious show how the managers/PMs/directors/etc. were bowing down to that chief architect ...

I though wonder - how and why would one do a scam in poop testing. I mean - why not just collect the poop and test it. Profit! Sprinkle some social on top and you have a fat unicorn.

Yes, and a single person in may area can easily survive on that, a couple with no kids could likely afford to buy home with no problems. I have a feeling you live in one of deep blue cities where rent for a small apartment is $2,000 a month.

That said however, you have made a common mistake the people advocating for artificial increased in minimum wage make. It is not about what the person is "worth", it is about how much revenue a business can make off that labor

if a business has to pay $15 for labor, but can only resell that labor for $10, there is no job. hell even if a business can resell the labor for $15 there is no job.

This is economic reality, I know using emotion to talk about a persons "worth" may seem like a valid argument but it is not.

If the economic reality was just as simple as declearing labor is worth $15 by fiat, then why stop at $15, why not $20 or $50, hell let just demand everyone make $1,000,000 a year we will all be millionaries.

You likely easily see why this reducto absurdum I am sure you will reject it as a fallacy but the economic reality does not change

If you want to see wages increase you have to increase the value of labor, and government regulation can not simply demand the value of labor increase. Attempts to do so often have very bad unintended consequences
This looks great! Except that the sizes are not my favourite... a 6" one and a 9.7" one.. I think the ideal size for a small tablet/ebook reader is 8". Also I dislike the huge bezels of the devices, I wonder if it would be possible to make with minimal bezels.
If anything, this is the exact opposite.

If someone bragged about spending 50 grand on the idea that they own something that doesn't exist if the lights go out, I would use that as signal that said person would be a good mark for a scam. Highly gullible, a bit dim and has money to burn.
That's actually a very fair take. Placebo isn't fake.
Individual people have at best partial control over the decisions they make, and I don't think that any particular set of women, or even all women collectively, have complete control over the global fertility rate. To give just one example, some women may be infertile, despite their wishes.

There is a coordination problem here, and even if all women could agree on the correct average global fertility level, and perfectly implement a fair quota system among themselves, I think there are other stakeholders who should be considered in that process: not just the men that might be involved in the raising of some of those children, but also the future generations of humanity that will only exist (or will exist in a very different environment) if the global fertility level goes outside a band of sustainability.
People doubting that a thing is actually art at all seems to be a fairly consistent marker of something being good art.

It's fresh, it's pushing boundaries, it's making people think and wonder, it's generating snark and discussion.

If readymades are art, if a blank canvas is art, then art is just a scam!

Not sure if it will stand the test of time though (I mean technically in terms of the artifacts persisting, and conceptually, aka whether it will still be interesting in 10 years or seen as a fad).
I think we didn’t think a certain type of person could lie like most people when it comes to their money?

I remember seeing Holmes in that Job’s get up, and knew something didn’t smell right, but was embarrassed to even bring it up——knowing their would be the backlash.

Looking back I don’t think I have ever met a truthful wealthy person? They seemed to make their wad on lies?

Hey Jake!

First off, we provide folks with everything they need to apply for a business bank account in the first place: LLC, EIN. We also offer a US address + US phone number if that is something people want us to help them with too!

From there our philosophy is we do not force customers to use any particular banking option. With the above, you technically can open a bank account at any bank.

However, only certain banks allow non-US residents without a US SSN to 1) apply and 2) apply without visiting the US. Mercury is one example of this (well the only example I know of as of now :) ).

We are more than happy to provide links and requirements of other banks which we do for customers but when people (especially non-US residents) find out they have to fly to the US to open an account then that bank isn't really an option.

If you're curious to see an overview of how to apply for a US Business Bank account, check out this thread: https://twitter.com/arjmahadevan/status/1349771706865504260

We also wrote this blog post which goes through several banking options and highlights whether or not you can apply with a US SSN, remotely etc here: https://www.startpack.io/blog/how-to-open-a-us-business-bank...
The better answer is that the closer an amp's output impedance is to the speakers' impedance, the greater the variation in amplified frequency response. Because impedance varies depending on the frequency of the signal.

So an amp with high output impedance doesn't work well with low impedance speakers. But it's barely a problem nowadays for class AB amps; mostly only tube (which have other problems) and class D amps.
I'm not actually that surprised. There are lots of people who have decent paying jobs, but want more, and it's not as easy as saying "I earn $100k working at X, I can easily earn an extra 30k doing it freelance on the weekend". It is extraordinarily difficult to actually leverage your skills in a way that earns immediate profits - especially since your skills are often specializing in a niche that your company probably dominates. 27k for a stupid stock prediction scam seems like a decent pay off if you think your technical expertise means you have an extremely low chance of getting caught. Maybe you would be more willing to do this if you worked for a guy who repeatedly flouts SEC rules an brags about it....
Python didn't handle enumerations, either, until around 2.6 (?) when they were added as a module.

The match operator (I guess the new keyword means it can't be a module) seems to be a similarly well-considered additon to the enum.

Python appears to add common features after more front-end work than the competition.

That said, one fears the higher release tempo could lead to "featuritis". I still have yet to wield the walrus operator that was recently added in any code.
If I wanted to build an support Q&A system using texts from support logs, training docs, transcribed videos etc etc (basically as much text about my product as I can get) would this model be a good start ?
If not now, in the future yes. I believe I've discussed just that possibly on HN. The creation of a virtual social media around a person that drives them to extreme or insane positions. Just imagine a set of bots that gives a very positive response to oddly coloured cats. At first you post 'normal' cats with odd patterns, but then then you find that unnaturally coloured cats get an even better response. Could we actually see a person dying their white cat cyan for fake internet responses and positive affirmations that are completely disconnected from human reality? I believe yes, and that its probably already happened.

That doesn't follow - I save money by hiring a plumber, who makes money from being hired.

The city simply made an analysis of the number of roads they'd build over the years and the cost of being a capable engineering organization versus the premium of getting existing experts to build it. They probably don't generate their own electricity either, for the same reasons.
Even in the case of a local machine you don't need an account/license to download and install the ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and it will automatically activate once it connects to the internet. Even if it can't connect to the internet after install it acts fully licensed, it's only once it connects and finds your copy isn't activated by any available means that it disables... the theming personalization page as a result!

Microsoft decided it was worth more to their brand to ensure people were getting legitimate copies of Windows with updates than the money they could get from trying to squeeze home user pirates.
Oh wow, now wouldn't this be the perfect time to introduce a few much needed loans for "recovery" with just a few strings attached to steer the future of Europe however you see fit...
I claim it's best to give up on the idea of being clever, and just go straight for being interactive. Particularly true for 6502; there's nothing remotely approaching an ABI, and, in general, anything goes. You'll never be able to automate everything. Simplest to give up before you start, and just settle for recursively discovering code from a specified starting point by following obvious branches and jumps.

But that's fine! That's all you need to do. The interactivity solves the rest, and the user can specify code vs data and so on themselves as they work through the code.

See IDA Pro (https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/), Dis6502 (https://www.atarimax.com/dis6502/), Ghidra (https://ghidra-sre.org/ - actually, terrible for 6502 last I checked, but it is interactive), Hopper (https://www.hopperapp.com/), and probably more.
This is a perfect example of what NFTs really are, a mechanism to monetize attention, not ownership. Yes, they could be used to represent ownership; but, that's not what the current incarnation actually is.

Anyone could have made a Brooklyn Bridge NFT (I've seen many make this joke). But, the value of the NFT is based on who is selling it and how compelling the narrative around the NFT is.

The valuation of the NFT is going to be based entirely on expectations of growth of future attention to the minter of the NFT. The market for them is going to consist primarily of a person that is a speculator first, collector second.

With that said, I think that people are wildly overpricing expectations of future attention for most of these. So there will be a correction. But, I don't think they are a fad, as long as gamblers exist so will NFTs.
No that’s not true. Only 50% of school funding comes from property taxes. The rest comes from federal and state sources that make up the gaps in property tax revenues. More states have progressive school funding (poor areas get more) than the opposite. (In the vast majority it’s +/- 5%.)

This is why liberal think tanks have shifted the goal posts to “equitable funding”: https://www.brookings.edu/research/how-progressive-is-school... (“ Someone expecting to find widespread evidence of “savage inequalities” will be pleasantly surprised to learn that, on average, poor students attend schools that are at least as well-funded as their more advantaged peers... But there are good reasons to believe that it is more expensive to provide the same quality of education to disadvantaged children—in other words, funding that is equal may not be equitable.“).

Which, to be fair, I don’t think is a flawed idea. If everyone can acknowledge that there isn’t a funding gap, we can have the conversation that poor kids actually need more money to even out inequalities.
Vaccines are ways to mimic infection (hopefully) without the side effects of real infection, like getting sick.

The immune system is complex and layered. The body's primary response to an infection is to make the body inhospitable. We know this as a fever. Some infections, like the common cold, are defeated here.

There are more tools available for more resilient infections, one being antibody production. Antibodies are proteins that bind to pathogens, to act as a marker. Once marked, other mechanisms (white blood cells) can clean up.

It takes time for the immune system to design an antibody that can identify the pathogen. The produced antibodies generally hang around for a few months, or longer. This is driven by chemical factors. Fortunately, Memory T-Cells will last a lot longer, and these contain the information needed to identify the pathogen and produce new antibodies. If the same pathogen appears again, antibodies can be produced quickly.

An antigen is anything that triggers an immune response. This includes pollen, if you have hay fever. In the context of COVID, the antigens are usually spike proteins, which stick out from the surface of the virus.

It's also worth noting that this process isn't perfect. Exposure does not mean immunity. Immunity is not binary, either. T-Cells may prevent symptoms entirely, or their may be a lag.

So, now I think I can answer your questions.

The vaccine provides the antigens using a form of COVID that won't, or shouldn't, cause infection. This will still cause an immune response, which may be strong enough to cause side effects. The body will see the antigens and generate antibodies. The antigen/antibody combination is stored in memory T-cells. This process takes several weeks, and is strengthened by a second exposure.

If you already have COVID, unfortunately the vaccine won't help. Vaccines are primarily preventative. There are a few diseases with post-exposure vaccination (anthrax), but there are usually many contingencies involved. If you have had COVID, you should still get the vaccine, because you are not guaranteed immunity.

You may still be contagious or symptomatic after having the vaccine, but this should (at least) be reduced. There is still a lag between becoming infected and immune response, even if you have immunity. This will be much shorter in the immune group, however.

It's hard to say how long immunity will last for. On an individual level, you can find pessimistic cases indicating very short immunity. Remember everyone's response is unique, and unlikely cases are usually most reported. The wildcard is a mutated virus evading immunity. To eliminate COVID would be to vaccinate the world, which is highly unlikely given substantial portions of the world haven't yet admitted they have it.
This is just badly written shit about some concept design by a firm of architects.

>> small businesses are unironically bad.

I did not think I would see the day that HN was pro corporation and Big business.

Aside from the fact your completely wrong, most people are employed by small or medium businessed, and SMB's are often more agile and able to respond faster to market demands than larger companies

This is why you do not see large companies innovating, instead they buy out small companies that have innovated in an effort to grab and/or hold the market share they lose to upstarts.

Also it is ironic that in a post dedicated to talking about how terrible Amazon treats its retail employee's and with provable evidence of employment abuse by other large companies on the world stage you stake a claim that small businesses are more abusive, that is laughably absurd

Small and medium business are the backbone of the economy, and in large part treat their employee's better than large companies. Sure some very small micro business with less than 25 employee's might but SMB is generally companies 25 - 1000 employees and under 1 billion in revenue. Companies this bracket often have some of the highest employee satisfaction scores, and lowest turn over it is absurd to to think that SMB's are worse than the Large Global Corporations.
Even small models can be a headache to export if they have even they use anything custom. I can't even imagine something the size of GPT-3.
There's a difference between 'fails at the extremes' and 'never worked a little'.

In a society where life is cheap and legal advancement is painful and opportunities are rare, you'll have the situation you mention. If the law is always fatal but rarely applied, why consider it at all?

In a comfortable society that has free food for everyone, a wider range of punishments actually does tend to control crime. In my country Murder can get you (effective) life, and selling marijuana on the street can't. You can buy joints easily but hitmen remain scarce.
I'll take that on board! Thanks.

For Episode 0 I did post the full text of my script in the description, but I do think that for the actual interviews I won't be able to afford a transcription service for a while.

For the last few years though, I've been getting a fairly significant proportion of my ongoing professional development via the medium.

I think it scales well in terms of being able to get access to some of the greatest minds I know without creating an undue burden on my guests OR myself as a father to a 2-year old with a mortgage and a day job.

I am 100% willing to commit to writing rich descriptions that address the topics discussed in advance though. As part of the editing process I'll need to rewatch my own interviews a few times anyways, so it isn't a significant amount of extra work to provide a perfectly reasonable value add that I like to see on the pods I listen to.

Thanks!
Horizon EDA is nice, with push and shove router (from KiCAD), but I truly dislike (in addition to part management you mentioned) that instead of highlighting track/part/via it draws, often ambiguous, ugly, bracket around it.

FreeCAD is great and very capable (I used Fusion 360 before) if you spent more time with it and switch to glass add-on and other tweaks. Program defaults make it unappealing.
This library provides selected useful features of modern UI libraries, while staying at a minimal size. Without the need for compilation and extensive tooling, it is easy and straight forward to use.

Originally, this project started out as an experiment. After using React/Preact for some time, I thought about alternative approaches without the VDOM (and JSX). Soon, I encountered libraries such as htm, hyperHTML, lighterhtml, lit-element and lit-html. All of the mentioned projects are definitely worth checking out.

I would love to hear your feedback on the library. Even more, if you have a scenario where adequate could be useful, please let me know! Also, feel free to ask me anything about the project, be it about its functionalities or about bundle size optimizations.
There are humans who can communicate somewhat effectively with chimpanzees using sign language, does that mean humans now have access to the several hundred year old chimp culture? I don’t think so.

Anyway, while we can assume that whales and dolphins have exhibited advanced behaviors throughout the time their species existed do we have any evidence that these behaviors did not develop independently in different populations and were lost or recreated again over those millions of years?
