> but I think we will see 10G ports one consumer notebooks soon

Consumer notebooks are moving away from having ethernet ports in general.

10GBASE-T is relatively power hungry, requiring a couple of watts per port. I don't think we'll be seeing this in consumer notebooks any time soon.

Also, I have one of those Thuderbolt to 10G adapters. It's not small. It's only useful when I'm doing bulk file transfers.

2.5G is fine for most work. Many consumer NAS boxes can barely saturate 2.5G anyway.

I've been caught for this, but only because I accidentally tried to carry on a bottle of water. The TSA definitely saw it, but didn't say anything (it was not legal in the state I was in). Probably not worth their time, though I'm guessing minorities might have a different experience (or maybe not, I dunno).
If all you want is fusion instead of energy production then just put a fusor[0] in your garage.

Lab results that show some evidence for trace amounts of fusion reactions do not imply net energy production. E.g. one of the recently announced results needed a powerful xray beamline to get some tiny results, which consumed more energy than the fusion reactions ever released.

This is comparable to the ancient greeks inventing a "steam engine"[1] that does no meaningful work.

"Egypt's military is the strongest in the region minus Israel." and minus Turkey
Good point. Although it's not a flawless solution. It's a good solution to the extent you can't practically shift your consumption to a different jurisdiction (or nation) that doesn't tax the sale of the item. Tricky part becomes capturing consumption tax at customs for items purchased elsewhere to dodge taxes. When you think about the large purchases you can make elsewhere and import with relative ease (like an expensive car) versus the things that can't practically be purchased elsewhere (like groceries), a consumption tax can end up looking regressive. I am a fan of a consumption tax that doesn't kick in until you are over a certain level of spending, so if you consume below a taxable minimum you pay nothing. It's hard to imagine how this would be administered in real life.
it's more like between the states, not between the US and other countries. One should think of the US analogous to the EU and the state analgous to the countries within the EU, with schengen. The virus need only make a beachhead early on (which it did) and then it was inside of an unsealable domain that is wide enough to basically keep things going in perpetuity.

Ask HN: Naive Question About Accelerators
Hi all,

Hope you are doing well.

I am currently a junior in college working on an early-stage startup and this is my first startup.

I've done some research about accelerators and was wondering what I should be looking for. Furthermore, I am not sure what questions I should be asking when looking at accelerators.

Thanks,

In my experience the most common cause for this phenomena is that the devs are afraid they won't be employable if they don't utilize those fads or, as you very correctly summarized it: resume-driven development.
no, it looks like your right and the case is currently active in the trial court.
I made a comment here to similar effect. I agree, everyone seems to want to “be cute”.

But I am seeing it’s deeper than that. Look at SV obviously “nudging” political discourse, look at companies like Delta weighing in on election laws while requiring the same of their customers things they decry as a public evil, or Coke telling people to “be less white” whatever that is supposed to mean.

It’s like everyone has forgotten their own core missions. And yea yea “social responsibility” and etc, but I don’t want the cast of Avengers telling me how to vote, or care what my airline thinks about anything but planes and how to serve me better, or what joke my pizza places has to push out because it’s “international joke day”.

What became wrong with putting your head down and doing the best you possibly can at the thing you do?

The network space on my university campus was flat and unfirewalled - one big /16 on which every device had more or less unfettered access to every other device.

Sometime in my senior year, I read that there was a PJL command that could set the ready message on networked HP printers.

Naturally, I wrote a script that walked the entire /16 and would attempt to set the ready text to "Low Toner". My girlfriend convinced me not to run it, so I changed it to "Low Mayonnaise" and ran that instead.

For the next few weeks, seeing "Low Mayonnaise" on printers was a pretty common sight. It disappeared on its own as printers were reset, or error conditions triggered, but it did feel pretty satisfying.
Thanks for calling me a “bad faith weasel”, LOL. BTW, I upvoted you for your sense of humor.
But in the non-NFT world, artists are selling prints of their work, and have been doing so for decades - hardly a fad! Those can be fairly expensive for the top tier, and they work the same way: You trust the artist will not inflate the supply of the same work with additional prints later on.

Chesa Boudin’s Dangerous San Francisco
This misses the point: that the country is what we - as the people thereof - make of it.

The American government - like, I suspect, the Chinese government - has a vested interest in trying to paint itself as "the country" and thus demand said country's people to serve that government unconditionally, but that couldn't be further from the truth; governments come and go (as they have here in what we now call the US, and as they have in China) but the the people - themselves being the country - remain.

That is: countries do not commit tyranny. Their governments do. And when those governments commit tyranny, or otherwise fail to serve the people, it is the right and duty of the country - i.e. the people - to bring that government to heel, or else establish a new government obedient to the will of the people (or, better yet, learn to govern themselves instead of insisting on some government to do so). Driving out the people of a country in order to appease the wishes of some government is arguably the worst-case scenario in terms of that country's identity; a country which allows a government to dictate that identity only weakens as a result - as we can see quite plainly in both the US and China.

So, when it comes to weather reporting or anything else, if the government can't or won't do it, then it's on us - the people - to do it, for the sake of all of the rest of us. If any community or demographic or what have you is marginalized in our country, then it is on us - we being the country - to correct that, and to extend a hand in friendship and mutual aid. This is how patriotism is supposed to work: a commitment to one's fellow human, not to some arbitrary state.

If you do indeed love China (and I'm assuming here that you're a resident of it), you might want to reflect on what you can do to improve it for all of your fellow countrymen - including those who currently feel excluded from it. If more people did the same in our respective countries, said countries - and given their global influence, the world - would be much better places than they are now.
Sorry, I should have specified felon rather than simply having a criminal record. Generally speaking any crime that carries a possible prison sentence over a year, though you're right that it can vary by state etc. And blackpowder guns and a few others aren't legally considered "firearms" by the ATF, so a felon can own them.
Yes but their safety could be improved, new containment system can be built etc. Governments should step up and change the incentives to keep the good plants in operation. Being unprofitable is not a good reason to decommission a nuclear plant.

> You can, today, go to Pheonix Arizona, download the Waymo One app, and summon a full self driving vehicle.

Consider Google's (okay, Alphabet's) standards for success though.

My guess is that a metro area with less than 0.5% of the US population does not qualify as a successful product. Maybe as a successful small beta test.

Also, given Arizona's overly cozy relationship with self-driving [1], I would not necessarily trust a program too much on the basis that it's operating there.

Wonderful resource, not bloated. Thanks!
That is patently false. The whole idea of lockdowns was to "flatten the curve" in order to prevent healthcare from collapsing. It was never, ever to stop outbreaks or stop covid. It was made quite explicit by "the experts" that everybody who was gonna get covid would do so and everybody who would die would do so. The area under the "death curve" was going to be exactly the same so long as healthcare didn't collapse. The goal was to literally slow the spread not stop it. Make it roll out slower to keep healthcare in check.

This idea that if we locked down harder or people "behaved" we'd be done with covid is a complete lie. That was never the intent of these restrictions. Ever.

I find it very curious how even after massive stockpiles of unused ventilators were donated and countless field hospitals were closed up after never seeing a single patient governors extended their stay-at-home orders. Despite it being shown that covid was never a true threat to healthcare, despite the sky-high IFR predictions being shown wrong (thankfully!), we let the goalpost shift to.... well... I still don't know what the goal is. We got very lucky having a vaccine delivered so quickly because without it, we'd have been drifting along aimlessly and things would have got very dark and ugly.

> Americans absolutely refuse to work together

Curious how many of the nations in Europe that "did it right" wound up getting major outbreaks regardless. Also curious how the curves of all regions basically mirror each other regardless of restrictions or "how serious they took it". Maybe, just maybe, humans aren't as in control of a widespread respiratory virus as they'd like to believe.

I believe it is peak human arrogance to think we could somehow control a respiratory virus in this manner. In my opinion history will look upon all this the same way we look at our ancestors performing rain dances and goat sacrifices. They are all examples of meaningless rituals humans perform in order to fool themselves into believing they have more control over mother nature than they actually do.
Microwaves. Ground station has to be several square kilometers, but it's cheap and birds can fly through the beam without harm.

For economic reasons you pretty much have to use phased array transmitters, with a reference signal from the ground to make it coherent, so if the beam gets repointed it gets a lot more diffuse than that.
If Amazon unilaterally increases their compensation while keeping working conditions terrible:
1) They still won't be financially independent, capable of leaving the job
2) Other jobs that might not be as terrible will pay even less comparatively making it that much harder to leave

Those at the bottom deserve a better life by:
1) being able to afford all necessities (housing, healthcare, etc.)
2) not being subject to psychological torture at jobs they can't leave

Modest increases in compensation don't seem to address (1) effectively and do not address (2) at all which is my concern.

> How can someone say with a straight face that it's unjust people who don't live in a jurisdiction have no say in how it's run?

AFAICT, no one said it was unjust that nonresidents don’t vote in city elections. It was raised as a reason the policy was unlikely to be changed at the city level, because the people adversely effected aren’t voters in the city.
Time really is one of the biggest issues that separates the more fortunate from the less. Many are oblivious to it, or at least dismissive of its impacts.
The IETF version of QUIC isn't really that bad on layering. HTTP/3 is fully decoupled from the QUIC transport layer, and thereby e.g. stream multiplexing/flow-control is also fully separated from HTTP semantics (unlike in HTTP/2).

Handshake/TLS is also mostly decoupled from QUIC, as are flow controllers (recovery).

Compared to TCP is certainly has multiplexing as part of the main layer, and uses mandatory crypto. But that's more or less the point of QUIC.

(I'm not the person you were replying to.).

I've had similar symptoms, and more, for the past 8 months. Heart palpitations, feeling of heaviness in the chest, strange exhaustion... I admit this does sound like anxiety. However, after suffering from anxiety for two decades, I've learned what my anxiety feels like. This is different. It's like comparing grits and runny oatmeal--I can understand why many descriptions are insufficient to distinguish between them, and even how one might be able to masquerade as the other, but having had both, it's clear they are not the same.

Good point, but I have found that just doing it right the first time works for me. In fact, I'm doing it right now. In the Xcode window, I'm building a test release that the team will run and review for usability issues and bugs.

If they find any bugs or issues, I fix/address them before moving on to the next function implementation.

The significant advantage that this confers, is that the app is constantly in "release-ready" form; although incomplete.

Useful, for when we want to ask people to give us money. We just get an NDA, loop them into the TestFlight group, and let them have at it. No need for chaperones from Marketing, or sacrifices to the demo gods.

To give a bit more context to my anecdata.

The surgery I was talking about was performed 10 years ago. In Poland. In city with around 700k people. In probably the best hospital for such surgeries in this city with only one other hospital also doing neurosurgery in this city but specializing more in the spinal surgery. The neurosurgical ward back then was in dire need of renovations so not exactly shiny new place that has funds for the best toys.

As I said it looked pretty routine back then.

She did not have fMRI for her following surgeries because tumors were not close to the speech center (opposite hemisphere, then frontal lobes).
There are some affordable (relatively) 10 gig switches nowadays, though they are based on SFPs so you have to factor that into the price too. Mikrotik sells a 4 port SFP+ switch for about $150.

> I consider Go not to be a systems programming language — a title much better earned by languages like C and Rust. Rather, Go is the best-in-class for a new breed of software: an Internet programming language. The wealth of network protocols implemented efficiently, concisely, and correctly in its standard library, combined with its clever mixed cooperative/pre-emitive multitasking model, make it very easy to write scalable internet-facing software.

Agree! I've been programming with Python for the past 6 years using Django and have now fully committed to writing Go using only the standard library. It's a great language for web-development and would highly recommend it to anyone.
VCs are geared to take big swings and bets. Makes total sense that they would buy into anything that has the potential to be a billion dollar idea, even if the likelihood of success is 1-5%.

What's interesting about NFTs to me is that an org like the NBA is one of the most successful - but I guess that makes sense because, as others have posted, they generate all the NFTs and can validate them. So it seems to me that it can be successful in the case where you have a single, centralized owner. Where it breaks down for me is when that ownership is some random person on the interwebs.

NBA Top Shot is also interesting because the number of buyers/sellers seems fair stable/flat - that would indicate to me that it is a relatively small number of people trading with each other because I think the number of buyers/sellers would increase if the overall market was growing - but I could be wrong about that.

I think most agree it was a bad joke - there is no 'absurdity' to it. Even when you find out it is fake, it's not really funny, it's more like "oh, why did you do that".

That said, I'm amazed how angry commenters here seem to be getting over it. Yeah, they tried to do something funny, it wasn't, it backfired and annoyed people. But at the same time, lighten up. Not everything needs to be a rage-inspiring transgression.
