You need to illustrate the path from tech employee -> founder for more people in some sort of go to resource. Why should an intelligent, capable person drop their $300k TC career when it looks like their chances of failing are 90%, and an opportunity cost of at least $1M, even if one gets into YC? What is one in for: hours, health insurance, managing employees, difficulty competing against entrenched companies, etc?

Unless you want to specifically filter out all candidates with a hint of risk-averseness or something else not explicit...
Why does everyone need a meaningful yard? The point of mixed use development is that you mix housing aimed at people at various phases of their lives. There's no reason why everything has to be one or another. You can have a 10 unit multi-family building amidst a block of rowhomes.

There's also no reason all the land has to be personal and private. Condo buildings can have yards and gardens. Kids also do fine playing in public parks, rec centers, and playgrounds. There's a variety of built environments that serve families' needs that we simply do not build because of zoning restrictions. Singapore manages to build extremely densely, keep housing costs accessible to median income families, and still have their kids grow up happy and well adjusted. It's a policy choice America makes to be this wasteful and it's mostly done by making it illegal to build any other way.
I've read a lot about this structure where local party leaders lie - often times to save face - and keeps getting passed up.

Chernobyl is a great example of this with deadly consequences. COVID is far worse sadly.

I don't think we could have contained it within China if they had a best response it was already out - well maybe 99.99% chance a not that educated guess - but we could probably have given ourselves a good amount more time. And hard shut down borders quickly if we knew the true vast numbers & death rates in early Wuhan. Then put out the 'embers' locally.

Gives at least some countries a chance of keeping it under control within their borders. Though I don't have faith our (US) CDC would have been up to the task...

My chickens eat bugs around the house.

Edit: I'm not joking. Old-school local farm chickens really do eat bugs. They feed themselves a good part of the year. Bugs and vegetable scraps. I'm not sure what new-school corporate farm chickens eat. And foxes will eat the chickens (if they get a chance). The food chain.
My source for the second claim was the Washington Post. Can you provide a contrary one? It does say that people have moderated their consumption a bit, but it's not visible in the global trend.

The rise in meat consumption over the past sixty years mostly comes from poor countries getting richer. It's been inexorable. Meatless Mondays in rich countries aren't going to make a dent in it.

Lab-grown meat cheaper than farmed would be another matter. We didn't stop whaling with public relations campaigns. It stopped when kerosene made it mostly obsolete. Thirty years after kerosene came on the market, 95% of whaling had stopped.

1. Yes, this is certainly an assumption I think everyone makes, though I wouldn't entangle my personal opinions on non-software things with my open source projects

2. Not quite; the community is closed to people who have a different opinion from them. As a software project they're publicly going on record stating that they think their opinion makes them better people, and they don't accept contributions from people outside that community (lesser people). I think in the context of religious beliefs it's a discriminatory stance. If they were an employer in Canada, they would be fined or possibly shut down.

Given rising debt loads, this view seems myopic. Presumably if the balance of foreign debt outweighs the risks of walking away from it - countries will eventually walk away from it.

It may simply be that revolution or other political instability will be required prior to countries walking away from the debt.

I’d doubt any major power could or would fight a debt war in the 21st century.

No, it reflects poorly on GitLab. The competitor comes out looking just fine.
Intel NUCs are IMHO exceptionally nice and fit your requirements, with some little caveats. Besides, it's a much more powerful machine and it will be easier to run till ARM becomes more popular. With some tweaks, in my experience it can use 3-4 W, so it might be able to replace a Pi in some scenarios.

You might go slightly over budget with an i3 (unless you shop for a deal). You need to install a NVMe yourself, as well as RAM. The i3 can be run in a silent mode, but there are some third party cases around which let you go fanless. I don't understand why Intel is not selling a fanless NUC with an i3 / m3. There's a lot of potential. Same for AMD.

I'm not so sure on vote rate. I hope we might be surprised! Even if not 20% would make a difference in policy. If it was part of curriculum and we tried to give students more confidence in their own power it could have generational change. A lot of social change has happened this way.

I work in politics and it very much disturbs me how often you hear that 'my vote doesn't have any power so why bother' it's self enforcing BS.
I feel similarly, I have smart speakers and then all zwave. I even avoided zigbee because it uses the same frequencies as wifi. However, I have been a bit disappointed that zwave devices seem to continue to be expensive while zigbee and wifi devices continue to fall in price. I recently broke down and started making some wifi and bluetooth sensors flashed with esphome. So far they have been pretty stable. But I suspect that will change if I get too many.
On the other hand, the companies YC are funding today seem less impactful than the Reddits and Airbnbs of the past.
This is harder to measure, but that's the impression.
That's how I read the grandfather comment too—a 3-4 GB/sec NVMe SSD wastes a lot of performance potential on a Pi, but the main thing that is nicer about even low-end SSDs is they have way better write/rewrite longevity than microSD cards, few of which are design in any way for general computing use.

Most microSD cards optimize for only one thing—storing large, sequentially-written video files, then copying them off. Rinse and repeat.

Even some of the fancy "100 MB/sec+" microSD cards only get like 1-2 MB/sec in random access patterns.

Some of my friends started a weekly gaming group when lockdown began. We initially played 0 AD as a joke. One year in, we've had stints of Starcraft 2, CS:GO, and Among Us. But at this point we've settled into something of a rotation of 0 AD and Overwatch.

It's a good game to play with friends and the jankiness is actually pretty charming. Just stay away from naval combat.
The part I don't understand is how exactly does a tracking pixel end up collecting filename information?
One benefit of the UN, though it may not take proactive steps, is that it is an outlet to prevent a problem from becoming worse. It's very much cathartic theater. So, when the Soviet Union put down uprisings in Hungary and Czechoslovakia that were tacitly encouraged by the US, there was a forum whereby the Soviet action could be condemned while avoiding military action that would have made the situation much much worse. Viewing the UN through the lens of cathartic inaction speaks to a different kind of utility.
> Ever see those banking website ads or financial planning brochures that tell you that you can become a millionaire by the time you retire if you sock away just $75 a month through the magic of compound interest? The math checks out, but the longer the time horizon...

Those flyers depend on a high-interest environment. At 1% annual interest (0.083% monthly interest), accumulating $1,000,000 by saving $75 / month would take just over 3,000 months, or 250 years.

Your deposits would only total about $225,000 over that time, so the "magic" of compound interest is still apparent, but it doesn't make for a compelling sales pitch.

"Quintuple¹ your money in just 250 years!

¹ Almost."

That is sort of like asking "If having a sexual relationship is perfectly fine what is wrong with a boss dating their direct subordinate?" - the power dynamic changes things via coercion. This isn't like A/B testing two apparently nearly equally valid curriculums on classes.

It is a self-fuffilling prophecy in the case of policing - they will skew where they find crime more where they focus their efforts. And that is assuming honest mistakes instead of outright bias laundering operations.

I haven't heard anything internally one way or the other. The way I read that sentence is "all options are open and we don't know yet".
The best way to start is to just send an email to a government agency whose information you're interested in. You'll need to find the contact information for them, but that should be easy with a quick google search.

Something like this to get a roster of new cops between 2019 and 2020 should work:

"Pursuant to $FOIA_LAW, please provide me with the following information for all cops hired between 2019 and 2020:

-Cop Name
-Cop Badge #
-Cop Race
-Hired date
-Age
-Direct Lead name/badge/age"

And done. In theory, two weeks later you should get back the records you're looking for. Try adding as much information as can for what you're interested in. The bullet points are just examples.

(this is not legal advice and is just based on my own experiences with foia)
I've done all three a number of times... just never synthesized all the results.

I did update the post with a benchmark I forgot to include—NVMe direct is 10% faster than the NVMe-to-USB 3.0-to-Pi adapter, so there is definite and easily-measurable overhead loss in the protocol translations.

Plus the potential (I don't know... but some people say it could happen) for different weird issues to present themselves when going from PCI to USB to PCI again.
The deals closed after the CanSino deal fell through. Canada didn't sit around, waiting for it to fall through, before negotiating the others. Securing multiple sources of vaccine from independent providers was always the government's plan.

But because the first of those four deals fell through (and because the countries manufacturing vaccines bought in other deals are prioritizing their domestic markets), politicians of all party affiliations now have an excuse to grouse.
I could optimize the boot process further, but this is stock Pi OS.
Caltech is smaller and just as prestigious. Amherst College is really small for the reputation it carries. In India, the IITs are big, but IISc has a small intake + equivalent cachet. For design, you have RISD vs USC/CMU and Juilliard vs Berklee for performing arts.

To continue the epicycle analogy:

The problem in modern physics is that the epicycles work too well. There are some big obvious mysteries and an incredibly-successful epicycle-based theory. Essentially everyone expects that the epicycles are not the truly fundamental theory of things.

So, physicists keep comparing the predictions of the "epicycle-theory" with reality in new ways, ways where a deviation from the prediction would be an unambiguous signpost pointing a direction toward which one might be able to address a big mystery. As those tests become established, they are then performed with higher and higher precision.

The signal potentially seen with LHCb is, if it persists, important. In a nutshell, electrons are, in this particular way, predicted to act exactly like muons. No ifs, ands, or buts. What they see is that electrons and muons might be acting slightly differently. If so, some new physics (or a major error in our understanding of the epicycles -- I'm looking at you, loops) must be at work. If this result persists, it is guaranteed that we will learn something.

Too convoluted? Here is a different analogy:

You're pretty sure someone is embezzling from your company.

You look at your bank account, and you have ~95% less money than you thought you should. Really. Oh, no.

You check the summary budgets, they're balanced. So you do this for all the company's divisions. Yep. Still balanced. You get paranoid. You do this for decades -- the books balance, but at the end of the day? 5%.

Then an employee runs up to you and says, "Shmageggy! We're not sure yet, but it looks like one of our most-trusted partners, whom the firm has worked with since 1936, transferred thirty-seven cents to an account in the Cayman Islands!"

Until we find the embezzler, that's what every one of these precision physics tests that makes the news is all about.
> It was also nice when there could be only a couple Launch HN's a week, at most

Ah, you've touched on something that I've been worrying about. Jared's made a great case (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26557978) about how YC can grow the resources it provides to startups, but HN front page space is one resource with a hard limit. That means that as YC batches continue to expand, the percentage of YC startups who do a Launch HN is going to have to decrease.

When are we going to hit that point? We've probably hit it already. During W21 we've been allowing two YC startups to launch on most days—but I think that's too much. My gut feeling is that 2 launches a day is ok during the run up to Demo Day (i.e. a week or two before), but not during the entire batch. The question is what the criteria should be for deciding which startups get a Launch HN. In the past it was simply "email the mods and they'll schedule you". Now that (edit: close to) 150 startups are doing that in a batch, we need something else to narrow it down.

The concept applied to particle physics, courtesy of Sir Terry Pratchett:

"The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed."

So which is it, this was just one employee's personal opinion or this was an attempt to meet a company OKR? You can't have it both ways, and it's quite shitty to put your employees in a situation where if they're successful the company takes credit but if they're not they get thrown under the bus.

Firstly, thank you for keeping the site's standards high. The embarrassing amount of time I spent here is a testament to that.

I feel like posting this story was warranted as it appears to be about a possible conflict of interest and abuse of power by a Reddit employee. Reddit normally takes a hands-off approach to everyday goings of the community.

What we're being told by the volunteer community mods is rather worrying, and clearly an arbitrary and unwarranted use of the site's doxxing rule against a single mod - and by extension the entire community. This is rather unprecedented and warrants more scrutiny.

I am afraid people only see keywords like "politics", "transgender" and "moderation policy" and assume it's some sad Reddit flamewar leaking to HN. But it's not about that, not at all. It rather sounds similar to the case where Jimbo Wales abused his admin powers on Wikipedia to suppress information about his girlfriend's criminal activities.
