As with all things, an optimization (e.g. agile, JIT/lean manufacturing) is predicated on certain assumptions. In this instance, "we exist in an ecosystem where our suppliers can rapidly respond to volatile demand from us."

If the assumptions fail, then it's not a failure of the optimization, but an incorrect application of it. Maybe we don't currently live in a world in which elastic semiconductor availability at scale can be assumed.
I think a lot of the enthusiasm for poetry has been sapped by the availability of music. Poetry, at least in its initial incarnations, was a mnemonic for memorizing. Classically, poetry was often chanted or sung, but even without that help, it is easier to remember then prose. The article talks about the "music of poetry" but only in metaphorical terms rather than literal.

Now the advent of recorded music means that all of that has been moved to music instead. People used to dream of having a bunch of poetry memorized -- if you were stuck on an island you could always recite Wordsworth to entertain yourself. Now you'd just hum or sing whatever music strikes your fancy instead.

I have personally found myself slightly more able to "get" poetry when I force myself to memorize it -- to me that really lets you appreciate the lyrical nature of good poetry and the use of metaphor and shorthand, which both arose from a necessity of fitting some rhythmic or rhyming scheme, but took on a life of their own.

> These methods are being used for decades and well understood with all their advantages and disadvantages.

Just because something has been used for decades does not make it good - for example, avoidable mutable state. And it certainly does not make it well-understood - as a consultant the number of brain frying environment variable configurations I've had to deal with which no permies could tell me anything about defies belief.

> someone comes and tells that it's bad and considered harmful,

Yes, some things are bad and are actively harmful. Famously, unstructured programming using gotos. Would you like to go back to that? Believe me, you would not. But perhaps you are not a programmer?

> That thing wouldn't be a de-facto standard if it was too bad, right?

It's not a "de-facto standard", it's simply bad.

There’s nothing macho about a conflict of this magnitude, it would be absolutely horrible. But we have to set clear expectations and unambiguous boundaries to avoid a dangerous miscalculation, not pretend we have contingency plans that don’t actually exist.

There is nothing inevitable about a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. My sense is that the Chinese leadership are far too insightful to actually start that war, but you never know.
I would not characterize that as a lie, which typically involves an intent to deceive.

Rather, the only people with intent to deceive might be the chip vendors. They either sold chip capacity that the automakers still had the legal rights to, or they reneged on sales to non automakers to resume supplying to automakers.

Linux disagrees; try

strings /proc/*/environ

On Solaris/SunOS, you could use `pargs -e $PID`. And so on.

Having separate UIDs to run your processes A and B under shields either one from peeking at the other's environment, though. UNIX DAC is simple and powerful enough for MOST security concerns, I would argue.

That's not necessarily true, if it remains clocked down most of the time and is using the low power 'little' cores the difference isn't going to be that significant.

Like anything, this is a matter of perspective. The right team would find value in it. I used to manage a marketing team at a large e-commerce company and we spent tens of thousands a month in email design fees. We rotated through a group of freelancers to design emails. Even an email that was simply following one of our "tried-and-true" templates still would cost us $400 - $500 or so for a single email. That is just updating message content on an existing email.

So when you think about this for $20 a month. It's a no-brainer in that scenario. We already have on-staff copywriters, marketing devs, social media managers, and so on that could have taken over some of the emails using this.

I might still out-source major custom email designs for huge promotions and stuff. But we could easily handle smaller flash sale and other simple emails internally, using a tool like this. So $20 could be justified even if it saved us from outsourcing one email a month.

For the average blogger, $20 a month could still be worth it if it they have a decent email lists and are converting profit from that list.

If you are just running a personal blog and want to send out fun emails to your list of 100 people, it probably isn't worth it. But most ESPs also have WYSIWYG designers that would be "good enough". If you are somewhat-technical then a tool like MJML would probably offer even more than the above tool offers, while being free.

I don't think Microsoft365 is a fair comparison. One is a mass-market product, the other is a niche indie product. $20/mo isn't for everyone. But at $240 a year, that's less than the cost of out-sourcing a single email every year. So if you can make 1 email a month from it, then you are clearly coming out far ahead.
Show HN: Stats and Figures – IT Outsourcing Companies in India
It's a sad fact of life that if you want a good phone that will age okay, and be supported for at least a few years with OS/security updates, and will have decent customer support if you run into issues, you're just gonna have to get a phone from one of the big guys.

Making a phone is hard. Every time I see one of these niche phones that tries to appeal to a crowd with offers of "privacy" or "user control" I think it's neat and it would be nice if it was realistic. But it's just gonna be another poorly-supported phone, offered by a small company that doesn't have resources to handle the inevitable complications of selling a smartphone, and where you have the option of being either in:

* Google's privacy nightmare Android ecosystem

* Un-Googled Android where you can't use the Play Store and a bunch of apps you'd want to use don't work

* Some kind of Linux distro for phones that will probably have an even worse app ecosystem than the previous option
> Did you miss the word "likely"? Please show me the evidence that Y Combinator is unlikely to be less exploitative and I'll be happy to retract my comment.

People cannot prove a negative or the "unlikeliness" of something. Comparing multi-billion infrastructure deals with an accelerator is ridiculous to say the least.

You're seriously drinking the kool-aid. Y Combinator isn't really that unique in what they give you, Tech Stars, 500, Imagine K12 (which is now a part of YComb, but before wasn't and had effectively the same deal), AngelPad and others have very similar deals to Y Combinator.

Not to mention in China they have programs (such as Chinaccelerator) very similar to Y Combinator that are - you guessed it - almost the same deal (6% equity for $100K).

I personally think Y Combinator is the best accelerator given its location and alumni, but let's not exaggerate. I doubt any of these accelerators exploit any of their alumni. Accelerators and Series funding are not the same at all.
Can someone expand on this? My anecdotal experience contradicts this and I don't know much about CPUs.
But that's actually a good insight: it isn't Google that has taught me anything, but people, who happened to use Google's properties to distribute knowledge. Any other service would be as good, if the people chose to use it.

Implementing an international standard for rail gauges and electrification voltages/frequencies is still currently much more feasible than electrifying cargo ships (unless nuclear-powered cargo ships become more widespread, which would be great, but that doesn't seem to be happening). Worst case scenario, you start from scratch (which is what we'd have to do here in the US, since electrified freight rail is basically nonexistent here).
You have been tempted by the dark side. But it might not be too late to turn around and walk away.
Yeah, the target audience is small, but, due to niche, the fee can be kept high.

Like music, or anything else, when you find one you like, read more. Find out what the writer(s) you enjoyed liked to read and read that, and so on.

I came to love of poetry through music, but also feverous reading in high school followed by an unfinished classical education. So I started out just doing that first—enjoy something and then follow up on it. It resulted in my spending every spare period in the library going through the stacks and making friends with the librarian who let me access to the officially banned books that they kept stashed for special sign-outs.

The writers I still read the most of are the ones I came to through my own meandering interest. That said, I've been introduced to writers and approaches that I never would have outside of the halls and impositions of university and I appreciate the insight that provided.

So if you're ever invested in the pursuit enough, you'll definitely be exposed to art you never knew existed if you take a poetry course at a local college or university. Some of it will be a drag, and you'll also meet some people with their heads jammed deeply up their asses, but don't let that ruin it for you—those types are everywhere, just a different flavour. If you're lucky you'll find a kindred spirit, either in a writer or in a classmate.

Poetry doesn't win you a lot of friends in North American culture, but I made one when right after I left high school and we still enjoy talking and sharing art to this day.

>LineageOS has a feature that helps people protect their privacy when calling helpline and hotline numbers by hiding the calls from the logs.

I love that there's a completely real and sincere justification for the feature, people suffering from issues may want/need to hide their help line contacts, but everyone involved has to know 90% of it's use will be sex lines.
Lunch time is a me time for me as well. People no longer ask me if I go with them. Many times when I found colleagues eating in the same restaurant, I would just say hello and still eat on my own at a different table. When I have too much social contact my mind goes into overdrive and I cannot focus on anything, so I need time alone to "decompress". At some workplaces it was difficult for people to understand that unfortunately.
Yeah, with nails that long that keyboard would be borderline unusable. You'd need a keyboard with near-zero travel because you can't apply much force to the tips, and the layout of that keyboard is too dense to use the flat part of your nails or your fingertips.

A touchscreen is not very hard to operate, at least, but it's still a bit more difficult and I think having the keyboard out would also make the touchscreen unusable with long nails.

Probably not a big concern for their target audience, but definitely a problem for me.
Independence by subterfuge has a very high chance of succeeding in Puerto Rico.

The status quo party was taken over by independence politicians (soberanistas) and they're restructuring the party as a Compact of Free Association party.

The Compact of Free Association is an agreement that the US made with former US territories that gained their independence like Palau and the Marshall Islands.

Several US based politicians strongly support that change so they're also pushing for it.

But why is it subterfuge?

The official name of Puerto Rico is Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico in Spanish and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in English. The English name is not a translation of the Spanish name. A correct translation would be Free Associated State of Puerto Rico. Coincidentally the independent countries under the Compact of Free Association are called Free Associated States. The soberanistas are calling the new status definition Libre Asociación. Their goal is to convince people that Libre Asociación is not a form of independence but an enhanced Estado Libre Asociado. The independence political party has stated that they would also support this new status definition.

If the soberanistas succeed in getting the Estado Libre Asociado voters to vote for Libre Asociación in a binding referendum they'll make Puerto Rico an independent country.
Since you are creating all apps in readable YAML format, it is easy to version control or review changes which others has made. This is really helpful when you want less technical members of the team to contribute.

Also it seamlessly integrate with existing CI tools and you can use your favourite text editor to create apps, develop templates. Since the Lowdefy apps is purely defined as JSON, or YAML, you can easily write scripts to mange and maintain multiple or larger applications. For example this is how we generate the Lowdefy docs form json-schema definitions.

While it is badass that you guys fixed a prod issue on the beach using an iPhone, I don’t think this new device is the only / best solution. The situation could also be solved by keeping a laptop or an iPad with a keyboard case in your car / bag if you are the one constantly ‘on-call’... most people have predefined on-call hours and wouldn’t need to sacrifice their stable daily driver cell just for physical keys

This targets me exactly! Well, sort of. The original Moto Droid was my first Android device, and I loved the slide out physical keyboard (paired with SwiftKey prediction and autocorrect!). It was the best of both worlds. I miss that typing experience.

This phone looks perfect! Up until I saw the processor. A snapdragon 662 sounds like it would be a step back in time.

So I guess I'm on the jaded list. My dream phone would have a landscape physical keyboard and a Samsung/Wacom pressure sensitive stylus. All with a flagship quality CPU/GPU. I could care less about multiple camera lenses. Anyways, never gonna happen.
The Astro Slide isn't a clam-shell, unlike their first two offerings. I have a Gemini which I use as a PDA and it's great. The Astro Slide should give me the best of both worlds, (I have one on order).
Exercise is really a major factor. A lot of IT people don't do it, I don't, but it's vital. The times I've dabbled, its made a world of difference.

Part of the problem is they have been selling this phone for years. After constantly having his shipping date pushed back my friend was able to get his money back for his preorder back in 2017
I don't think stores are tracking the serial numbers of the printers they sell, so yeah at best you're gonna get a big list of everyone who bought that SKU in the approximate time. And if you buy it with cash, or secondhand, then they're screwed.

Now, it probably phones home and that's probably how they catch people but there are ways around that.
I was able to touch-type very quickly on my palm pre and palm pixi. Even a modern touchscreen swipe keyboard can barely compete, and you can't use a swipe keyboard without looking at it (well, not accurately).

It's been long enough that I can't guarantee it, but I recall it being very comfortable and fast to touch type on a Danger Hiptop as well.
There's no free lunch, and it's easy to overlook the compromises involved in the devices that used to have physical keyboards. By modern standards, blackberrys had a woefully small screen and phones with slideout keyboards were very fat. This device doesn't look fat which suggests to me that the compromise might be either battery life or low processor power.

That said, although this is definitely not for me, it's generally good for the market to have some devices that are genuinely different rather than just another "me too" Samsung/iphone lookalike.
Couldn't agree more. Not only is it a feature, not a product, but it's a niche feature at that. The vast majority of people I know who have used Clubhouse find it fascinating at first and then within a day or two realize it's mostly boring content and never touch it again.
When it started, there are some rather interesting bets - go and look at the single and double digit bet numbers. Especially look at the qualifications of the rebuttals and their quality... and that the quality of the predictions are also up there.

Then... I want to say that they got really boring for a while as various people were using it to pitch their own business. I recall one that was about shipping fresh water somewhere via long plastic tubes on the ocean... and the predictor had a company that he was trying to get funding for to ship water on the ocean via large plastic tubes.

This bet falls into the same category of boring, pitching a product (a particular drug).

Unfortunately, Long Bets has moved from interesting wagers about the future of people and trying to get people to think about time scales beyond the next few years to something longer - as part of the Long Now foundation ( https://longnow.org ).
Artificial Life: can grow and divide like natural bacteria
When I went onto Stack Overflow, I copy-and-pasted a snippet of JSX from a thread about in-line styling with z-index.

When I saw the rate-limited copy-paste functionality at the bottom right of the screen, I was already riled up and ready to be upset, outrage machine booting and all. I'd completely forgotten what day it was and just how quickly I bought into the fact that the tech industry isn't too far off from pulling something like this—maybe even worse.

Did anyone else fall for it or am I too gullible?
