The reason I think it isn't relevant is I think 4chan would be different if moot stuck around. moot had a sort of dictatorship power that allowed him to kill trends - for example GamerGate "died" on 4chan (leading to 8chan and friends) because moot decided one day that GamerGate was done on 4chan. I can't say for sure what 4chan would look like but I felt moot had a more tasteful and less ideological driven approach to running 4chan.

There was an article in Motherboard[1] how /pol/ is being idealogically driven due to moderation choices. I don't believe moot would have allowed such an ideologically driven moderation changes to continue for so long. (IIRC, moot had deleted /pol/ twice, once as /n/ which he removed for being too much like stormfront).

GPL may as well mean radioactive as far as legal is concerned.

A friend worked at a company where they banned GIMP as they feared that editing logos and other trademarks in it could invalidate them.

Even working for a tech company, I don't think I would suggest using anything GPL as it would cause a fuss.

I agree with much of this. But there may be republicans out there that do not like every aspect of Trump, yet agree even less with the democratic candidate. Such a person may have good reasons for the way she or he voted and may be the way for you to learn to appreciate some aspects of “the other side”. It’s not black and white, your “two party system” forces a choice. I bet many people find what they choose suboptimal if they are being honest. But they may not tell a hostile person from the other side that does not even want to dine with them.

Ask HN: How to find steady stream of clients for UX agency
Hi,

I started a UX agency not too long ago, we are completely remote.

How do I build a steady stream of clients? We had our first few clients through referrals, a few direct sales and some through partnerships. The work isn’t steady though. How can we build a steady stream of work?
It's not correct to think that increased prices solves shortages. I work in automotive chip industry. We have many cases where no amount of money could fix the shortage within the next 9 months. Only choices for carmaker is to produce fewer cars or produce the car without the chip that is short (which is not always possible).
And when I am in my less charitable moods, I would claim that said people are unqualified to not just to configure networks, but to have opinions worth considering when it comes to setting network policy.

On the subject of styling I still find these electric cars slightly off with the plastic where the grill normally be. It just seems wrong - especially with a company like Tesla which has no design heritage to be bound to, one expects better.

Unfortunately, and somewhat sadly, and melanchololy, I must report that I've been at OS version 11.2.3 (the latest) and run almost zero Rosetta apps: KeepassX, Beyond Compare, and Optimal Layout; of those, Optimal Layout has read 100GB, which is almost nothing.

In comparison, my kernel_task process is at 43TB bytes written, and WindowServer is at 8TB read.

So, as with cancer, there are multiple contributing factors, and hopefully Apple will ship an update to fix it... someday.

This looks pretty neat. Two suggestions: show the room list on the home page and put the about stuff somewhere else. People will figure out what the site is by seeing or interacting and the faster they can the better.

Second, names could be more distinct. The fact they all begin with the prefix "user" (from what I saw) is redundant. Could you mix and match from a short-words list to create unique and memorable names? e.g. RedFoxFun.

But then you have different i7 variants with one having a different letter in the name which makes it just half as powerful because it's an extra energy-conserving mobile CPU.

I'm not into hardware but I have a rough overview, though whenever I'm supposed to help someone choose a laptop I only see a whole page with dozens of products and the only difference are a few numbers in the CPU serial number and some other weird product names and I simply have no idea what to say. I fully understand people who just go "I take this one because it has a nice color" - a layperson simply has no chance at understanding the difference, and good luck finding a store where the employees know more.

I never owned an Apple computer and I can still tell you on the spot which category of Macbook is better and more expensive, and why. Might have to do with the devices having normal names instead of alphanumeric strings that probably came from a password generator.

If all the manufacturers did what Toyota did that would have exacerbated the chip shortage.
The 1st edition is already "sold out". Reserving the AWD Pro S Gradient, a $49,675 car, is $100. So I suspect the 1st edition was around that same reservation cost. Too low. Everyone has $100 laying around. IMO reservations should be 10% msrp so that only serious buyers can make reservations.
Another advantage in California (and likely other states) is that you get to avoid the enormous, rather useless, PITA called 'emissions inspection'.

Hopefully (particularly from the French car companies, as they have some interesting little designs from the past to draw from) EVs can provide a kick up the arse for manufacturers to lead rather than shit out SUV after SUV - particularly given that they are using new propulsion that can't afford unnecessary weight and drag.

I don't know if this is a crazy idea or if it creates scalability issues, but could you craft an algorithm to cold store data for users who do not show a need for instant access, and/or warm up the data when you predict it will be needed? Kind of like a physical logistics company would need to do with distributed warehousing.

Sticking points I see are, 1. If you get it wrong you'll need some form of UX that keeps the users from getting to angry about it. 2. The cost of moving the data between hot/cold storage might make this prohibitive until a much larger scale. 3. User behaviors might not be predictable enough.

What does your response have to do with the quote? It's a clear straw man.

New Zealand and Australia likely won't open until 2023 because vaccination campaigns are slow and public health authorities are afraid of variants. I'm perfectly fine with people in these countries making those decisions. I just think they should be a little more understanding about the rest of the world that prefers open borders to hysteria.

Studios are very much tech firms themselves.

Quite a few have released commercial software, share proprietary software with partner/vendor companies , or contribute to OSS.

As with any tech company, the GPL is a very unwelcome license for fear of how far reaching it can be.
> I thought that the Northern Hemisphere was basically pointing away from the Galactic Centre, so shots like this were basically only from South America or Australia etc.

From 40N latitude one can see the sky as far south as -50deg declination (50 degrees south of the celestial equator). It's true that the galactic center is in the southern sky, but it's still visible from the northern hemisphere. If you can see Sagittarius (the teapot), you're looking in the direction of the galactic center.

The GP's shot is representative of what one can expect from about 40N. From the southern hemisphere, I've seen shots of the milky way that span from horizon to horizon, so I do think they have the better vantage point.
I've run the math on this for 1PB of similar data (all pictures), and for us it was about 1.5-2 orders of magnitude cheaper over the span of 10 years (our guess for depreciation on the hardware).

Note that we were getting significantly cheaper bandwidth than S3 and similar providers, which made up over half of our savings.

Never ever ever rely on a single proprietary platform to run your business.

Setup something temporary for your followers like a bitchute channel or similar until (hopefully) you get your main channel back.

And then spend some time to diversify your media spread.
I'm not really concerned about cost.

I like to be able to use my laptop to locate content and then watch it on a television. So my habits mostly include YouTube or TPB. With youtube I can queue a number of items into a playlist. For TPB, I just press the magnet and it appears on my television a short while later.

I mean I intend to continue paying for these services since I like the offerings. I just don't like using them. They're all ugly and annoying, and they each have their quirks I need to learn. Discovery sucks and searching is always slow and painful. I just don't care to deal with it.

Plus, every time someone mentions a show you have to have this extra little conversation about what streaming service it's available on. It's annoying and I really don't want to care.
> I recognize that it's way more culturally accepted with random conversations with strangers in the USA (something I really do appreciate with US culture whenever I have visited, BTW) than what I'm used to back home.

Very interesting. Where are you from that the US is comparatively more open to stranger conversation?

Coming from latin america where it is the norm to end up in lively conversation with any random stranger if you share the same space for more than a minute, I've always found the US culture extremely disconnected. In the US you can stand in line at (say) the DMV for an hour and nobody talks to anyone.

You wrote, "data needs to be accessible at all time ... less than 1000ms" latency, but this does not tell the whole story about accessibility/latency. Does your use case allow you to do something similar to lazy loading, where you serve reduced quality images/video at low latency and only offer the full quality on demand/as needed with greater latency? For example, initially serve a reduced-resolution or reduced-length video instead of the full-res/full-length original, which you keep in colder storage at a reduced cost? Depending on the details of what is permissible and data characteristics, this approach might save you a lot overall by reducing warm storage costs.
Not if the other car companies realized that the lead time being so long meant that cancelling their orders was a horrible idea.
Florida did better than 17 countries per deaths, but of course it's only a state. Not much to brag about. None of us here really believe any official state data either. A lot of people come to Florida, stay for a while, and then leave before they get sick, so it is hard to know how bad it was/is.

My area had effective mayors who enforced policies, checked businesses, and spent a lot of energy in keeping people safer, and we did much better than many parts of the state where no one cared. Mask use everywhere I go is high which I think is the biggest measure of what works. There are parts of Florida where no one wears a mask or cares to do anything. I always wanted to see per capita cases/deaths per zip code or even voting district, but no one does that.

> If we left sars-covid-19 without mitigation for a century, it would catch up rapidly.

I think that's probably wrong? The most likely outcome would be that after the initial pandemic subsided (with lots of deaths), most people would catch it when they were reasonably young and then be mostly protected.

This is different from malaria, which is much more deadly.

You know there's plenty of antisemitism around the world, especially in places like Iran, which officially denies the Holocaust, that isn't coming from a "white supremacist" place, especially not in the context of American white supremacy.

Considering that we know for a fact that you don't know the ages, genders, nationality, or races of the people with these beliefs, and can only see their beliefs posted anonymously on 4chan, and then you think you have enough information to extrapolate that these people must be white, male, and young, says a lot more about YOUR prejudices than the people on 4chan, quite frankly.

You see hate and just assume the hateful are the gender, race, and age, that you perceive to be the enemy.

Always look to nature first. Nature never lies. DNA storage:

Escherichia coli, for instance, has a storage density of about 10 to the 19 bits per cubic centimeter. At that density, all the world’s current storage needs for a year could be well met by a cube of DNA measuring about one meter on a side.

There are several companies doing it:

I personally know multiple senior devs in Poland doing multi-year contracts at 110-130k eur per year. In Western Europe, with their skillset, they'd probably get just 20-30% more, so the gap is closing even at the top end of the market.
I'm with you - one of my favourite things to do is optimise performance, whether it's memory, CPU, latency, whatever.

Actually, I often enjoy it a bit too much... it's frequently the case that I'll realise I've just spent an entire day reducing memory allocations that didn't really need reducing, rather than building features :(
On a typical input, where there's probably a newline every 30–80 characters on average [1], it seems like many of the bytes are not in that algorithm's happy 64-bytes-at-a-time 16-bytes-aligned main loop because each line would be a separate memchr call which has to redo the unaligned prefix bit, and/or are processed twice because they're in the 64 bytes but after the first newline. Have you ever considered an alternate interface which returns all the newline positions in a single call on a whole buffer? [edit: or next N with N>1.] Is it worth pursuing?

[1] bytes/lines on "wc -l *.[ch]" in the ffmpeg/libavformat directory I happened to have open says there's a newline every ~34 bytes.

edit: I suppose if ripgrep -N and ripgrep -n aren't that far apart, it's fast enough already. But I have to think it's not getting much mileage out of that 64-bytes-at-a-time loop.
