why does it says that it launches?! It launched last december/this years january in europe. heck, they even delivered some of them already.
did it launch that late in usa? I tought it should launch in february in the usa.

Some context:

Tim growers follows the pedagogical style of producing the proofs on the blackboard in front of you without notes. This is reasonably possible in the kind of pure mathematics where his interests lie. The idea is that it forces the kind of straightforward proofs which have few ideas and are mostly doing only the obvious thing. It also means the audience get to see someone actually doing it rather than just presenting some notes. Morally, I want to say this style is good, but I don’t really have any idea if it’s the best way to lecture something.

I saw an attempt at something similar to this video—trying to solve a mostly unseen problem in real-time—from him about 5 years ago. In that case it was some attempt at an IMO problem and I think he got stuck at the end which relied on some weird equivalence classes of functions which were apparently quite common in IMO questions at the time but hard to derive if you’d not seen them before.

He has a reasonably popular blog at growers.wordpress.com where he has run some “polymath projects” which were attempts to prove or disprove certain conjectures through wide scale collaborative mathematics over the internet.
Tunnels always have the danger of reducing the MTU because they have to account for the header.

Worse, is that if a tunnel doesn't reduce the MTU and its packets are dropped by a router further down the line the the ICMP TOO_FAT response back to the tunnel endpoint not the original host. The tunnel endpoint has zero clue what to do with it and drops it on the ground, leaving the original host in the dark.

Even worse is when overzealous firewall admins start locking down everything they don't understand and that includes ICMP. "Some hackers could ping our networks!" Then you're truly up a creek.

Luckily MTU breakage is fairly easy to spot once you know what to look for. It's easy enough to fix too if your local firewall admins aren't the block everything type. Just fix the MTU on the tunnel endpoint and suddenly everything will start working.

One final note: If as a router or application developer you ever find yourself having to fragment packets, please, for the love of all that is holy, fragment them into two roughly equal sized packets. Don't create one huge packet and one runt from the leftovers. It hurts me to see packets coming in from some heavily tunneled source with 1400 byte initial packet followed by 3 or 4 tiny fragments. Or worse, 3 or 4 tiny out of order fragments followed by the 1400 byte bulk because the MAC prioritized small packets in its queue and send them first.
I am comparing the case of urinating on a roadtrip as a means to save a few minutes on arrival time, with a significant labour force being obligated to do so under terms and conditions of employment whilst their employer loudly and publicly denies this fact. (The fact that the employer later retracted the denail doesn't obviate the predicate clause.)

Your reading of my statement is far from the mark, curiously so.
Don't forget to factor in fuel cost and maintenance.
Thanks. I can't actually see where the second paper says that there are reservoirs, at least not of P. falciparum, which is the most relevant. It doesn't directly state it but seems to suggest that there's little in the way of human infections that arise from another species.
I've started torrenting again (did it a lot in the early 00s, but stopped like most others as streaming showed up in a big way). Honestly, once set up the experience is lovely.

- The catalog is enormous, you can almost always find what you want.

- There is robust software that can pull down the latest episode of the tv shows you want.

- There is similar software that can pull down movies based on public lists (e.g. IMDB top 100), so discovery is pretty great.

- All the above can be done on public trackers. Private trackers are even better.

- Many have a community of people who are into the content, and curate their own lists.

- There is software for a home media server so you can flip through all your content. Its also just one interface... no flipping through hulu/netflix/amazon/apple/google.

- That same home media server software can host all videos, so downloads from youtube, family videos, etc... all in one place as you see fit.

- I get to know that know one out there knows what I'm watching or when I'm watching it.

- Backup is easy, with offsite services running ~$0.005/gb/month, so pennies per movie per month. This way I know I'll always have it regardless of what happens with streaming services.

Getting it up and running takes some customization but it is _really_ great. I would gladly pay for such a service, even the typical ~$20/movie price.
My car absolutely cares about the battery chemistry because it optimizes the charging based on battery performance and capability. It also uses this information for the condition based service to indicate when the battery needs replaced and as an input to identify other electrical problems such as excessive discharge.
money > competition
A base tesla model3 is cheaper than a base ID.4. It does look like the ID.4 will be cheaper after the tax credits, but not dramatically so.
Sure, HN has subgroups like FOSS-ers and startup-ers (I think those are fair names). Another I'd mention are the internet mavens, the connoisseurs of online communities who think a lot about them and know about their history. I think the boostrapping/indiehacker subgroup is distinct from all of these again. And there are others. All are welcome.

> I know that this is pretty close to an ideological battle. But I hope that I'm closer to "curious thoughtful and substantive conversation" about ideologies on HN than I am to fulminating.

I agree! I'd avoid rhetoric like "The future is for the people" though - internet forums like HN are just not good places for declaiming. It comes across as blaring, sort of like using a megaphone in a living room. But the reason I replied above was not because of any of that. It was because of "the powerful technocrats living in silicon valley, the primary users of HackerNews" and especially the word "primary". That is empirically inaccurate and I think it's part of my job to help this community get a more accurate reflection of itself. So many commenters feel like they have to distance themselves from the rest of the community—or rather, from their image of the rest of the community. Sometimes this comes across as supercilious, sometimes as defensive, but it's the same underlying phenomenon. I think it's a large, significant problem that we need to work on in order for HN to be the kind of place we'd all prefer.

Btw I wrote about that here last year, if anyone is interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098.
That will be actually fun. Make a company invest in some random crypto coins, presents movements. Just call all of them bitcoin... Argue that at this point it is generic name... Skim your fees from top.
It would be interesting to see an EV design that's appropriate for the Third World.

Recently there was news about India's push to incentivize chip-fab makers to start chip-production in India.

I thought the threat to Taiwan (from China) was driving that.

But buried in the news was that Tata was going to build a chip-fab in India.

Tata owns Jaguar Land Rover.
Is it their electric car or is it their car, electric ?

I don't want your electric car.

I don't want your e-initiative i-mobile green-tech tron-car.

I want one of your actual cars, just electric.

I don't want an ID.4 - I just want a Passat. I don't want the polestar e-initiative i-concept - I just want a V90 wagon. I don't want a future space truck, I just want a Silverado - but electric.

God. Dammit.
I’ve heard reports that minio gets slow beyond the hundreds of millions of objects threshold
It’s weird because I associate car ownership with wealth! I’m in my 40s in London in the UK earning an ok salary and neither me nor many of many friends have a car.
Swiss here as well with kids... and the appartments (currently renting for 2400/per month) we look for at the moment are 1.2 Mio CHF which is nearly equal in USD and thats for 4,5 room 110sqm.
Would be interested if you did a good trade by moving to Berlin as I see loads of tech jobs overthere but afraid I would just make my situation worse to be even less able to afford something in Switzerland in the longterm. Do you have more or less money after all deductions and rents etc?
Nothing is worse than hard-coded controls in general. Completely screws up my muscle memory. It's also disrespectful because the game designers think they know my preferences better than I do.
Curious about your tool chain for real estate metadata. Is there a way to get a more retail-like experience and not have to deal so much with agents?
People don't self identify as "Straight White Male", it's not really a good insult base. You want to insult their country of origin (Ireland, Canada), their hobbies (anime, weightlifting, smoking pot) or their inability to get laid.

"White people have poor taste in food!" isn't very punchy, is it?
It depends on a lot of things. First is how easy it is to evolve a way around a particular defense. For example, it will be easier to achieve an vaccine escape when only one gene is required to mutate compared to ten thousand. If you have a vaccine that disrupts something fundamental about a pathogen's lifecycle, it's better than one that targets something superficial.

Another question is what fraction of the population is exposed to the selective pressure, and to what extent the selective pressure confers a benefit or cost to all other members of the population. If responding to the pressure makes the population more fit in other hosts, then we should expect it to become widespread eventually. On the other hand, if it causes the disease to become less efficient in other hosts, you would not expect the mutation to become widespread.

For example, imagine if there were a monster that lived in a small part of Alaska that tended to eat humans with small fingers, we would probably just not go to that part of Alaska. On the other hand, if such monsters were present throughout the world, you'd probably see humans with longer fingers over the generations. Does that make any sense? It's a strained metaphor but I hope it gets the point across.

Another thing that can happen is speciation, but we'll leave that for another day.
I get what you mean: Malaria vaccines never got a sudden rush of Manhattan-Project-esque funding like COVID-19 vaccines. But according to the study, funding for this research was provided by "The European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP), The Wellcome Trust and the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre".

The EDCTP is funded by the European Union as well as the individual member countries. The Wellcome Trust and Oxford are both British.

Perhaps wealthy nations could/should be doing more, but it seems like wealthy countries are responsible for this breakthrough.
Well also the climate induced power outages in Texas knocked out three (4?) foundries in the Austin area from suppliers that tended to supply embedded customers. Foundries really really hate to be interrupted and getting them back up seems to be taking longer than anticipated.
That was the trip to Florida! It came out to about 1,250 miles and was actually rather enjoyable in the Kia Niro EV. We used the Electrify America charger network the whole way there and back so each stop was 20-40 minutes, perfect to stretch your legs, use a nearby restroom, and grab a bite to eat. Admittedly it got to a bit of a lull at night since it was a 20-something hour trip.

I think it would have been better to have a little bit more range so the stops are spaced farther apart, but charging was cheap and rather fast. The worst part was dealing with some of those chargers; there's usually at least one charger offline at EA stations and some charge really slow (which sucks when you pay by the minute) so there's a bit of trial-and-error.

I honestly kinda liked these forced breaks... usually when we take a long road trip I feel stiff as a board when we arrive, but I felt fine when we got there.
The system you appear to prefer intersects with the system you appear to criticise, and extracts profits from it whilst perpetuating human abuses.

That seems to indicate a problem with the system you appear to prefer.
> It helps ensure that NASA has at least one way to get large amounts of cargo onto the moon. No actual manned flight is included, and personally, I don't expect Starship to be man-rated soon

That's not true. SpaceX's bid includes at least two lunar landings – at least one uncrewed, and one crewed. (They may have to have more than one uncrewed landing if things unexpectedly go wrong with the first one.)

For the crewed landing, Starship will launch from earth, be refuelled in LEO, then travel to lunar orbit and wait there. Up to 3 months later, Orion will launch on SLS with four astronauts and also travel to lunar orbit. Once in lunar orbit, Orion and Starship will rendezvous and dock, and two astronauts will transfer to Starship (the other two stay on Orion). Starship will land those two astronauts on the moon, and then re-dock with Orion, and the four astronauts will use Orion to return to earth. The Starship will be disposed of, probably by landing it again on the Moon's surface, where it will await possible future reuse by a lunar base. (Ideally it would be reused multiple times before disposal, but I don't think that's going to happen at first – how do you inspect/repair it in-between uses if it can't return to Earth?)

Starship is not being crew-rated for launch and re-entry as part of this contract, although that is the long-term goal. It is only being crew-rated for in-space use and the lunar landing. Orion will be the vehicle used for crewed launch and re-entry for lunar missions initially. Once Starship is crew-rated for launch and re-entry, that may change.
Also worth point out that DDT is not blankety banned in the US. It's just not allowed as a pesticide.
You can still use it to kill mosquitos.

> Although Carson never directly called for an outright ban on the use of DDT, its publication was a seminal event for the environmental movement and resulted in a large public outcry that eventually led, in 1972, to a ban on DDT's agricultural use in the United States.

Have you used GaiaGPS at all? I use it along with ridewithgps for looking at trail conditions and mapping points of interest on my rides and hikes. You can import your own custom map layers as well.

The developers are fairly consistently adding new content as well, might not hurt to reach out.
> A pretty common workflow is get your lighting setup working

Don't think that's common at all because that won't always work well. The difference between Cycles and Eevee is the lightning, materials, rasterization (compared to raytracing that Cycles does) and such.
What happens to your business if you lose this data?
Why couldn't he breathe in the back of the car?
On the other side of things. If you invested in a brewery or distillery, you are making good money these days.
I'd say that the more general issue with rural areas is the increasing complexity of cars and the death of small car dealerships. This area lost 100% of it's dealerships during the real estate crash and I'm not sure that an independent shop can fix a new BMW (or F150).
I think that's roughly the beginning of the Great Plains. I would guess the population density drops significantly because of farmland and ranching.
Perhaps someone could add some clarity but isn't it true that Google has, over time, begun to ignore the specific operators? Double quotes used to work but I now find that Google ignores these. For me at least, this has made Google less useful over time.
> One final note: If as a router or application developer you ever find yourself having to fragment packets,

Ideally, you should not want to fragment IP packets. It is far better to do MSS clamping in TCP to prevent the size of the TCP payload to grew above the size of the max MTU in the path. TCP can stitch together the data at the other node just fine, without routers in between having to fragment the IP packets, which will kill your bandwith in comparison.
Samo Burja and the New Private Intellectual
It looks like a Honda CUV or Toyota Rav-4 to me. Not sure where your outrage is coming from.
I've used throwaway accounts here for a decade, since I post infrequently and don't care about karma, and it's never been a problem. Further, my comment wasn't flamebait (or anything otherwise objectionable) and shouldn't have been flagged.

While I have you, dang: the flagging on this site is out of control. Why do you allow users to so easily hide from others comments they dislike? The downvoting, I don't care about. But flagging should be reserved for things like spam, racial slurs, and other stuff that obviously doesn't need to be seen.
250 sounds doable but not 200.
SoftBank-backed SPAC to take Mapbox public in $2B deal
Media reporting on anything involving 4chan has always been terrible. I remember a story about, I think, Emma Watson that turned out to be literally fake news - as in, it came from an already documented fake news site run by a known serial hoaxer, was laundered into legitimacy by increasingly reputable publications, and eventually ended up being reported as true everywhere including places like the BBC.
It’s interesting to see the word ‘pollution’ seems to have been completely replaced by ‘emission’. I guess the car industry won?
I didn't 'take the bait', what you're doing is gaslighting.

It's not that I'm a 'snowflake' or 'I don't understand chan humor', what they're doing is actually fucked up and dangerous even if they justify it as 'trolling' or 'irony' that should be ignored.

There is nothing normal about that boards pre-occupation with calling for racial extermination. I don't give a damn if they're posting that 'ironically', there is nothing normal about that type of constant, obsessive 'joking' about mass murder behavior to that degree, and repeating those things so much can lead to people truly becoming obsessed with those ideas, then justifying and actually carrying those actions out (like the Christchurch racial terror attack).
The OP[0] in r/math provides good description of the video:

"This video is Gowers showing us that the false starts and silly mistakes we normal people make when first attempting a problem do not disappear at his "level". Watching his fumbles and frustrations might provide discouraged older students with some much-needed perspective on being "gifted", while watching him think out-loud might help unsure younger students learn what it means to "attack" a problem.

Gowers fails to solve the problem in this video. He tries again a few hours later and succeeds in this second video[1], but then tries and fails to find an "elegant" proof. The next morning, he wakes with an idea and figures out an elegant proof in a third video[2]."

There is a problem with the parasite resistance to Artemisinin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemisinin#Resistance)

Regardless, malaria still kills millions... and you are complaining about them spending money on it?
If you work at a sufficiently large company then optimisation work on sufficiently low level systems can save 7–8 figures per year, not that you’d likely see much of those savings yourself. It often turns out that some tiny bit of code with not-great performance becomes embedded deeply in the stack and the small cost can add up over many machines.
Cinebench is a rendering load that isn’t that much optimised. (Doesn’t even use the newer AVX levels when available, and isn’t properly optimised for Arm either).

Cinema 4D, the program that Cinebench benchmarks, normally does the renders on NVIDIA GPUs, not CPUs. As such, it’s a very poor benchmark.

And those 5800U results are at probably much higher than 15W. (Because that’s the base config, OEMs are free to ship with higher TDPs)
Ask HN: If I maintain 100% ownership, can I pay myself anything I want?
Let's say I start a company and I have no intentions of raising money. I'll maintain 100% ownership. Can I pay myself whatever salary each year from that year's corporate profits? Is it okay to show basically zero corporate profit and take all that's left after server costs etc. as personal income?
You’re projecting. No one is saying that.
I think part of what dang was saying is that there is generally no need to characterize the motivations and beliefs of your fellow posters. Your comment would have been fine without that. Meta discussion about the community itself can be valuable. But this post is about lichess and the merits of ad driven revenue models.

It's also worth saying that most of the people here are developers, academics and general nerds. You might want to pay more attention to the replies on the major posts to get an idea of where people are coming from. You might also benefit from a closer reading of what the current leadership of YCombinator have said recently. Lot of sustainability and basic income there.

It looks like you've created a straw man that you hate very much. It's like trying to blame all of "America" for the perceived evils of capitalism. The entire hackernews community is too big and too diverse to be your opponent in that debate.
Neverbounce = my favorite tool for checking if email will bounce
1500 bytes is the de facto standard maximum size of an ethernet frame (not including headers). Therefore, if you want to send data over Ethernet, for example, an IP packet you can typically only send up to 1500 bytes at a time, and if you try to send more it gets dropped. This is called the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU).

Apparently, their customers were tunneling IP packets through another protocol, meaning that instead of sending an IP packet in a Ethernet frame, they were sending an IP packet in an X packet in an Ethernet frame. Since, like IP and Ethernet packets, the X packets need to contain some information related to the protocol, there was less room for the IP packet. I.e. the MTU was lower.

When you set the MTU on your Operating System (OS), it refers to something slightly different. Instead of "this is the maximum size packet that will fit", it means "assume this is the maximum size packet that will fit". You can use that setting to force your OS to send smaller packets if you know the MTU is lower than your OS thinks.
Not sure the state of some of the decentralized solutions...
To the extent that the medium is the message, forums do encourage certain types and qualities of interaction. In that way, many, many subreddits are alike and there is a single culture to it.

Also the larger a community gets, the more mediocre and average it becomes and the more the culture that is reinforced by the medium comes to the fore.
Are the posters in this thread arguing that George Floyd was a junkie, trolls too? There is a ton of legitimate white supremacy here masked by "trolling". It's just a convenient cover, but the beliefs are authentically held.
