Which is the whole point of YC. IPO over valued companies and dump it on the retailers while cashing out your chips. Never mind the structural dangers cheap capital pose when the cycle winds down.
This also has interesting implications for website operators who use ip allowlists to ensure they "only" receive incoming traffic from their own CDN account. For instance:

- if you have corp-domain.com on Cloudflare with http basic auth enabled at the edge, which then proxies to your origin server which has an allowlist of Cloudflare ips, I can make my own account and configure it to point at your origin server, granting me access

- if you depend on the cloudflare WAF to block certain attacks to your origin, I can bypass the WAF by configuring a cloudflare worker in my own account to send traffic to your origin

- etc
I think physical stimuli is undervalued in cognition. The more we feel about something we like the deeper it goes. Reductionism is not an improvement for this part of human life.

What structures?
From a perspective from the other side- job seekers are more and more finding that with WFH becoming more popular, their choices are increasing as well. However, that means more applications put in, more tweaks to resume/CV. Employers on the other hand seem to be asking more and more of the job seekers.

What I'm seeing is people dropping the companies with big asks in order to out out more applications. They can spend hours/days on back and forth with one company or spend that time applying to 20 other places.

Shoe is on the other foot, so to speak.
I've toyed with compiler stuff for years. My current idea is a fluent/piping language. Is there any reference that would help with that?
Also, at least until the recent trend of dockless rental bikes, you needed to physically chain up a bike to something unless you wanted it stolen.

Most of the things that one can reasonably chain a bike to are generally located on the side of the street to begin with; they may just out into the public right of way because of their size, but it doesn't usually block the whole street.

Dockless scooters have no such requirement and so it's not that surprising that people went with the path of least resistance and just dumped them in the middle.

I understand where you are coming from, and you are right in some aspects. But there's more context to why there is a narrative that minorities generally "seem" to lean on the American left. It doesn't really have anything to do with how life is represented in the media - after all, minorities don't really consume American media even in this country.

Minorities are by and large generally more culturally conservative than the majority of the West. The only difference is the approach to communalism versus individualism, but the American conservative affinity towards individualism is largely a classical liberal idea. Minority communities are not blind to that, several aspects of progressive politics are incompatible and the media hasn't changed their mind. For instance, the gay and black community is very splintered, and progressives have been able to manage that. Left-wing literature and academia acknowledge this as well. Add influences of the Vietnam War, and you will get a vastly conservative community.

However, party politics in America do not subscribe to a consistent frame of ideologies. As cultures began compounding over the past 60 years, identity is the mainstream approach for appealing to bases. The parties have chosen a side.

A majority of minority voters have weighed the cost-benefits of choosing between their conservative principles or a stronger representation of their people, and found one side more accommodating. Quite literally, the biggest downfall to the advancement of conservative ideals in America is probably one specific party's refusal to appeal towards minority communities. It was true before Trump, Trump only exposed this reality of the Republican base. There could have been a conservative revolution.

One final point. Asians has had to deal with issues of systemic and structural discrimination from both sides of the aisle. The issues go far broader than higher standards of university admission. Very little to do with their affinity towards specific ideologies.
Yeah, it's pretty bad. Babylon 5 is super blatant about it, bordering on racist stereotypes.
Thanks for the reply. That's actually less loss than I would have guessed,I appreciate the info.
It's a tricky balance, and usually you want to start a bit cold, knowing you'll get warm "Be bold, start cold" - but of course you have to watch out for frostbite.

My commute to work was only ~15mins on the bike, and for the first half I was a bit cold, and then the second half I was unzipping my jacket and would even stand outside the office with no jacket of toque or gloves for 3-5 minutes in -40 temps to cool off. The steam coming off me was always fun :)

With a longer ride (my landlord rode 40 mins each way) you stop after about 20 minutes and change layers - usually go for windproof with minimal insulation to prevent overheating/sweating.
The West gave legitimacy to this because it's own elites do the same thing with monopoly enterprises. Microsoft did it with OSs, Google with search, Telecoms expanding from wired phones, to wireless, now to entertainment media ownership, etc...

> typically not as general-purpose as print

In my domain which doesn't usually cover distributed systems printf can be worse because it introduces synchronization primitives that have caused race conditions to disappear(and that race condition causes second order heap corruption or the like). On one platform system memory was so small(8mb total) that each output to stdout went over the serial link slowing performance down to 1/20th of a realtime process under any real logging.

Like I said, different tools for different uses, and really depends on the context. If there was one size fits all then we'd just use that but the diversity of debugging tools I think shows that you need a variety of techniques to approach the problems we encounter.

No free or open source license requires private modifications to be shared. Doing so would violate your privacy, and goes against the 'you can use this software for any purpose' requirement.

Hell, AGPL is one of the few licenses that does require you to share modifications, if you provide it as a network service. Again: strong copyleft.

Whether it's a failure depends upon its real value, which is next to 0. Crypto-currencies instead have a high nominal value, which is to say that they are only valued as an exchange for other currencies but otherwise have no utility. As a comparison a warehouse stocked with purchased tangible goods have a real value that can be exchanged for other goods regardless of inflation or currency activity. Crypto does not have that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_versus_nominal_value_(eco...

Concretely, there are only two utilities to crypto-currency: as a speculative currency investment hoping the value of a given crypto-currency increases disproportionately to a seed currency and as a means of anonymizing currency transactions. Until crypto is used for something other than day trading or illicit purchases most people simply don't care and won't ever care as its effectively worthless in a real sense.
"Cancel culture" is AFAIK a term coined by the right against the supposed power of "liberals" to ruin the lives of people with nothing more than "non-liberal" opinions.

A cursory glance at this list reveals something else IMO, a "cancel culture" that may "cancel" anyone on a whim. It deserves to be tracked and contemplated. The question is: is social media going to replace the the judiciary now? With no right to appeal?

While this particular "database" might need to be better curated, the ambition certainly seems to be in the right direction.

For stablecoins, I think normal people dont think thar much about the shadiness but more if it works or not. Tether has been keeping their stablecoin stable for 6+ years, for normal users it looks good for quite wide variery of uses. Of course no one is saving their pension in USDT but there are lots of shorter term use cases.
I'm also a fan of this idea. It seems far easier than trying to plant humans in giant bubbles with an Earthly ecosystem that just happen to be on the surface of Mars.

> DDS hires professional engineers at a special paygrade pegged to their civilian pay stubs

I wish USDS would do this as well; I feel like they'd attract a lot more talent. Although perhaps they want to attract exactly the kind of talent who would take a big pay cut out of a sense of service/duty.

> Cool stuff and I’d work for them in a second

For myself, while I recognize that military is a necessary evil in the world we live in, and I have a ton of respect for the people who put themselves in harm's way, working for an org with a .mil address would be against my values. I'm so torn, though, since (e.g.) the Internet itself came out of the DoD. It's a hard pill to swallow for me sometimes that a lot of essential civilian tech was originally developed by or for the military.

Do you physically move your scanner? If so, how do you measure displacement accurately? Synthetic aperture requires a moving scanner, which it doesn't see you are doing.

Proper imaging requires keeping track of phase information, so you measure the distances more precisely.

It appears you're using 40Khz ultrasound transducers, so the wavelength should be about 8mm. You might want to try using less phase shift of the beam to tighten up the volume you're sweeping, and do it slower.

Try suspending a hard solid round object from 3 threads, and see how that responds. It should give you an idea of the "impulse" response in 3 dimensions, and thus a clue as to how to de-convolve the data.

A husband complained that his wife wanted to be a stay-at-home mom: https://slate.com/human-interest/2021/03/sudden-sahm-concern...

Raising a child and building a home and life for a family is expensive. I know a lot of dudes who are stressed because they partner decided to become stay at home moms but also, “please buy a house”.

Anecdotally, I’ve also heard a few women balk at the idea of the husband being the stay at home parent. And I know a few dads who would love to be home more but can’t because they became the default breadwinner.

That’s not a partnership.

I don’t know who to attribute this to but you know what they say: “The only correction is an over correction“.

Yup. I knew someone who worked in the Ministry of Justice in France and he was ecstatic when they announced they would stop jury trials for criminal charges.

He said juries just aren't that great at the job. They're easily influenced by current events, susceptible to fallacies, etc. A lot more so than judges, according to my acquaintance (who was admittedly biased).
The scanner is fixed, but the beam is moving. In a synthetic aperture, the beam is fixed but the scanner is moving, which should be equivalent for a first approximation. A "dot" like a hard solid round object returns a cardinal cosine in two dimensions centered on the object.

I don't understand. Having more points by using smaller phase-shifting steps won't make my beam narrower?
I think that's different. The Chinese were invaded and violently occupied by the Japanese, that would be more like Jews (or Poles) speaking of Germans as Murderers.

The supremacist angle is the German concept of "Untermensch" (sub-human) in comparison to the "Übermensch". I believe the Japanese had similar notions, but I don't think they're prevalent (and certainly not voiced) now.

The test for "fair use" is not only based on portion of original used. It is a four part test, where the weighting of the four parts is not specified, it's subjective (as are some of the parts).

1. Purpose and character of the copy (which mainly ends up meaning commercial vs non-commercial)
2. nature of the copyrighted work (which often ends up being about how "original" it was)
3. amount copied
4. effect on the market
