Rainbow, BLM, it's all there, so he can afford the sharp reaction towards the "random dudes".

Without the protective ideological shield, that reaction would have been deemed "hostile" and "toxic" by the twitteria.
I’m not saying it’s illegal, I’m saying it’s bad form.
I think it's false. Hunter gatherer communities (no societies back there) lived by what they could find - either hunt animals or look for fruits, plants and mushrooms.

Then there was a shift towards agricultural societies, where people relied on their plantations and domesticated cattle. I don't think the cattle meat would be enough for most of their meals, probably the most of them would be bread and soup.

This is just a vague recollection from A Brief History of Humanity, but it makes sense to me. Eating just meat sounds terribly "costly", you have to actively ignore all other sources of food around you.
I'm mildly curious about the whole Jordan Peterson anti-woke movement. Mildly, as in, I'm interested in the arguments but I often don't agree with them. I once made the mistake of clicking on a Peterson YouTube video and subsequently got only obscene alt-right "Peterson KILLS stupid feminist reporter!!" type of edited content. Like at some point 80% of my suggestions was crap like that, drowning out all the lovely nerdy Tom Scott stuff I come to YouTube for.

I had to reset all suggestions to get away from it. Whenever I now see a video like that about the culture wars (or about covid for that matter), I open an incognito browser and search for the title. It's nuts that this is necessary.

It's come to a point that I now hate suggestion engines with a passion. I wish I could simply only see the tweets/videos/whatever from people I follow/subscribe, chronologically. I can't figure out whether the people making these services are simply incompetent or downright evil.

The AI future is now and it's awful.
My grandparents bought their house on the SJC - Los Gatos border for $30k in 1968. It sold in 2019 for $1.4M.

That's what piggyback second mortgages are for. There are also subsidized loans for first-time buyers in the US called FHA loans that allow 3.5% to 10% down payments.
Also interesting that Java seems to be a lot better than C# / .NET which normally would be quite comparable.
The better you have processed your idea, it significantly improves your chances of success.
Before you take a plunge, add an intense and disciplined approach to brainstorm your idea and it's evaluation process:

1. Build lists of potential customer types, business and pricing models.

2. Evaluate the opportunities where these lists overlap.

3. Then, go out of your building and evaluate the top ideas with real potential users, customers, and suppliers.

4. The goal of evaluation process should be to know whether your idea has likelihood of success. Also, it will help you know early on to waste less time down the road, even if you pivot from your original idea.

I wrote a complete set of 11 articles to go from idea to launch and growth. Check it out here:

Several of the issues they mention are density issues, particularly any that relate to side effects of sharing walls (noise) and common areas.
Yeah, what about t-spins, too?

If it could always set me up for amazing t-spin plays, that would be really enjoyable, I think.
Today in "GPT-3 ramblings or marketing spiel":

> "We are honoring the cellulose and lignin of the trees by rearticulating them into assets for present and future generations. By allowing millions of trees to remain in place in their forests, Forust is launching a highly evolved technology for the circular technosphere.”

hmmkay hmmkay, so you're making money off wood waste, that's cool...
I'm not an evolutionary biologist. I merely want to pass on his comment. He studied the viral genome segments inserted in human genome. I can pass that question to him if you want.
My experience is that we reached a point where if DuckDuckGo can’t find something, then neither can Google. For local search Google is still a little better, but they choosen to drown out actual results with ads.
"A lot of people, locals and birdwatchers, come here wanting to hear the cuckoo, but they don’t stop long enough; sometimes they don’t even leave their cars. This makes me feel so sad that I actually cry a bit; it pains me that others don’t get to enjoy it."

Probably the most inspiring two sentences I've read in years. There's good in the world.
Interesting! I'm sorry if I'm a bit hazy on the details, but I was around 12 when I fiddled around with this stuff. Back then, I saved up some cash and bought a mail order AVR board with some LEDs, sensors on it plus an expansion board with an IIRC 2*16 LCD module on it and spent the summer copying assembly listings from ELV journal and some tutorial websites. I played around with a custom character set but never did anything as fancy as this.

Although I did know that modules with 4 rows exist, those where pretty much Unobtanium for me at the time and I jumped at every forum thread that mentioned them, trying to find out how I could get my hands on one. IIRC I once saw a post on a German phpBB Forum (roboternetz.de? mosfetkiller.de?) with grainy pictures where somebody had such a module and couldn't get it to work. Someone else responded that those controllers only supports 2 rows with 20 characters maximum and modules with more characters or rows simply have 2 on them ("see, there are 2 black blobs on the rear..."). I remembered that from there. From my experience, I guess they won't be very happy if I dig up the ~20 year old thread and post a response now :-).
Hey Facebook, please threaten peoples that if they don't accept the new policy they have to pay for whats-app.
Bio-epoxy my b**. We should stop using difficult or impossible to recycle materials, just for minor convenience or arguably aesthetic improvements, only when its the best option for something meaningful. I like binder jetting production method and the possibilities it will bring to us but, as happens with other production methods, we should use it with responsibility. Many of the examples show should be do it with normal wood.
> It seems like you’re saying some people are being tricked by our brains, but others (like yourself) are able to pull aside the veil and truly understand our place in the universe. Perhaps we’re all being tricked.

I make no such claim. We interpret and navigate the world with the mental models and toolsets we have. If you can do math, you can calculate, estimate, plan, budget....etc. Similarly, some toolsets give you access to insights and paradigms eg: religious toolset might make you interpret the world differently. I merely have a certain toolset which lets me look at the world in a certain way, does not mean this toolset is exclusive, leads to authoritative interpretations or it's acquisition is special in any way.

I could just say "In my humble opinion"

>Regardless, in a universe where nothing matters, truth and knowledge have no more value than children or stone walls.

As always value is in the eye of the beholder, there is no objective value beyond what a subject is able to get out of it. So if you feel truth and knowledge are important, they are. If you feel faith is more important than truth, it is, to you at-least.
Even "Rust Library for Windows" (or why not just "Rust Windows API Library") would be more clear.
It was "too good" in the sense that it was realistic enough that they forgot they were in a simulation, and thought the terminal window was a real native macOS window
Sure lots of negatives, but in a few cases, it can also be useful. I have carefully used a YouTube account that's specifically trained for just the right music recommendations that the auto-play just works mostly right.

I use stimulating music (not relaxing) for work mainly, playing in background, and don't want to keep finding new music. Novelty is an important factor in stimulatory music. So this has been great for me.
another solution is to use 2 instances of chrome or firefox with different --user-data-dir which can run in parallel . It's actually very convenient for checking up stuff without 'messing' the main setup
Aha ok. Without knowing the product it’s hard to advise, perhaps you can start a youtube channel around it, become the go to expert in the field? Sell consulting? Sell follow on products or services?
Don't use Google to search. DDG!

Maybe interacting with the finance department was above your pay grade. The bigger the operation, the more costs matter. That's a thumb-rule you can find anywhere.
Well, I have to disagree. I don't believe your story has anything to do with you being a woman in that situation. There are plenty of male people who also don't have a network and who get taken advantage of and have their ideas stolen without credit. This happens all the time on a daily basis and has absolutely nothing to do with gender. It's a real problem, but in my impression it seems to be a quite standard problem with humanity and not gender.
When I was about 14 (and in the advanced math set) my math teacher gave me this problem. Specifically the one with the goat in a square field tethered in the center of one side.

I spent ages trying to solve it and managed to convince myself that it didn't have an analytical solution - well at least not one I could come up with. So I invented an iterative process to binary search the solution on my calculator. I came up with an answer in the end to 5 or so significant figures which I was happy with.

That was the first math problem that I met that didn't have an analytical solution but I could solve so it was one of those breakthrough moments in my maths learning.

My math teacher was happy with the solution. She'd given it to us deliberately as an example of a problem with a solution, but no analytical solution as a kind of trick question in order to make us think. Great teacher!
I think that in the future, having a way to tell the algorithm "I didn't like this" will be common courtesy. Especially as the algorithm becomes stronger, I.E. companies offload more and more curation to ML.
The commonalities between a set of people born in a certain 15-20 year period are so diffuse and weak, generational analysis is pointless.

It makes some sense to bring up in a TV advertising perspective context, where the first thing you can target is a general age group.

If you try to break the world down this way, you just end up with a vague, soft, pile of BS.
It's crazy just how much I go out of my way to avoid things that "personalize" my experience.

I don't use online music services, I discover music on various platforms and and download mp3s and keep a local library.

I avoid Youtube at it's defaults, I use 3rd party apps and VLC to do most of my watching, other than my subscriptions I tend to skim the Home page very rarely.

I do not use Netflix or other streaming services, I try to hunt down DVDs/Blu-Rays and prefer ripping them for my personal library.

My only problem is exclusives, as a fan of The Witcher series, I do feel like I am missing out, but if I feel a really strong urge I can always borrow an account from a friend, create a temp profile, watch the series and delete it.

Their convenience features just add more inconvenience to me.
And how are you supposed to parse the rust library?
Unfortunately the ulisp can run only on arduino. Otherwise it would be interesting.

But in the other hand if you just want a hacking device that can be there abd phone home, can arduino-ulisp fit the bill. Wonder.
On a thread reminiscing about Hypercard, the only comment down-voted is the one that points to a superset of Hypercard that runs on Windows, OSX and Linux and that can also produce apps that run on iOS and Android.

And it's free to use and GPL'd.

What a weird place HN is.
> Not every solution to a problem needs to use as little memory as possible

Those problems are called "one-offs" relative to things I design for scale.
YouTube's personalization recommendation is a nightmare. Just the other day, YouTube played "Billie eilish -copycat" for me literally after every other song.

I pretty much only YouTube in Incognito mode these days. Everytime I forget, YouTube manages to annoy me so much within half an hour that I switch to Incognito again.
> In what objective way could you consider Telegram to be technically more secure than WhatsApp?

Firstly mahnouel didn't write "more secure" but better.

Secondly: if backups are enabled WhatsApp at anyone of the group members then WhatsApp is automatically uploading unencrypted copies of the group chats to Google.

I'd say that brings WhatsApp security for groups down to Telegram level at least.

Thirdly: forcing others to use WhatsApp to be part of the group gives away their group affiliation to Facebook. This might or might not be a problem for you.
I've heard that another effect of Sovietization in Mongolia was surnames.

Mongolians had surnames (strictly speaking, clan names) before the Soviet takeover. The Soviets abolished them, as part of an effort to get rid of the old aristocracy. Since then, Mongolians have been known officially either by a single personal name or by using their father's name in combination with their own.

In the 90s, there was an attempt to bring back surnames. People were given a free choice of which surname to adopt. Some people either still knew the surname their family had had before the Soviet era (because it had been passed down in secret), or were able to find it in local records. But a lot of people chose a name that had no history in their family, either because they didn't know their old surname, it had an unflattering meaning (like "Thief" or "Seven Drunkards"), or they simply wanted a different one.

The attempt was unsuccessful, in part because huge numbers of people chose to adopt Borjigin (Genghis Khan's clan name) as their surname.
You should abstain from googling politically incorrect ideas.
It is possible that the state will require searches for for politically incorrect content be logged and used to create a profile on possible dissidents.
EDM is its own separate thing now, it basically means "radio pop with a four-on-the-floor beat and synths".
Some really good ideas come from solving problems in new ecosystems. When Twitter became popular, there was a need to schedule tweets, thus Buffer was created. When Stripe became popular, there was a need to provide analytics, this Baremetrics was created.

Sometimes when there a bunch of new products in a similar category, there’s a need for an “aggregator” product. Hootsuite for instance aggregates all your social streams. Yext allows you to push updates to multiple local sites like Yelp and Google Maps.

So my quick advice would be to play with some of these new ecosystems/products. Ie TikTok, Substack, etc.
Lmao good catch. Can someone explain the alternate reality we seem to exist in? Do y’all see these people around a lot?
The freedom that will be provided by a "decentralized database" is commonly overestimated by pro crypto crowd. It is true that the government cannot edit the ledger. But they can take your things and put you in jail.

This is an illuminating viewpoint. I came to Assembly from HLLs and had often wondered why i found writing assembly code so alien and difficult (in spite of understanding Computer Architecture). I was restricting myself by looking at it only through the lens of Structured Programming constructs. Only by going beyond these concepts and embracing the full generality of Assembly can one understand many techniques like Threaded Code/Self-modifying code etc.
> Do you have an example of a search ...

Due to the very topic this HN post is about, I don't think this is a good method - your results might be vastly different from mine.

But let's look at the number of relevant results among the top 5 results for some thing I recently wanted to learn about.

"Comprehension categories" - a rather specific term from category theory

Google: 5/5 (for me)
DuckDuckGo: 1/5 (for me)
"Thinking of Physics" is pretty great. Thanks for the rec.
Of course they would be pissed. You spammed something into the answer field that does not answer the question. Just write a comment instead.
The Lean Startup by Eric Ries is a startup bible for creating a product, testing and iterating.

As a descendant of the Saami, I agree. We leave our heritage in everything we touch. Child or stone, no difference. Our ancestors are everywhere.

Same. Worse is the fact it continues to make the same suggestions no matter how many times I scroll past, no matter how many other videos I watch.

I find Spotify similar. I try a suggested playlist. I check out after 2 or 3 songs. It doesn't get the hint.
Isn't that pulled from the agenda of other people in the group?
In 2013, I mentioned to a recruiter that Go would be huge by 2015-2016, and the jagoff argued with me from their zero domain expertise. I told them to piss off and never contact me again because they signaled they were stupid, ignorant, and unable to listen.. which means I had no use for them and they were a liability.
"A good user experience" and "not being able to do with your device as you please" are incompatible concepts to me. It's amazing how somebody is okay with Big Daddy Apple controlling what they do or do not do with the device they bought.
Sure but that would raise the threshold for setup a lot for consumers.
Maybe viable one day if I get a large order from a hotel chain or similar
I've done work for one American company selling services in EU, the pay was beyond amazing and lots of work benefits I could never get from local companies. But work life, considering the jargon of the US managers I really wonder how people in the US have time for anything but work. I'll take less pay and happier life any day.

I think someone on HN commented on life in Denmark from a US perspective; that people are only happy because they settle for less. My personal experience is the exact opposit, better life can only come at the expense of work productivity.
But a realistic simulation would have closed the terminal window.
Neat! If it’s a phone charger, instead of WiFi, why not work as a USB host and use the phone’s internet via tethering?
Good to read this. I'm a software developer working on my own projects, and to still have some income in the first years I decided to work as a garbage man. It's so wonderful. Meeting different kinds of people all the time, doing physical work (more flirting with women during my workday haha), and when I get home I'm physically tired but mentally prepared to write another software module. Perfect fit, this mix of mentally/creative work and physical/'stupid' work. Indeed, for the outside world I'm also a deadbeat (although they never say out loud). But my real smile makes them doubt their selves, makes them even envious sometimes. Such is the power of making choices for yourself.
This was mentioned somewhere else already, but the way to parse [Windows Subsystem for Linux] is [Windows] [Subsystem for Linux] (not [Windows Subsystem] [for Linux]). In case of [Rust for Windows], it should actually be called something like [Rust] [API for Windows].

But I agree, the naming is very confusing.
Great comment and quite insightful !
Italian perspective here: deposit and checking accounts are in europe a nuisance in the actual monetary system, getting them replaced would not ruin big banks, smaller ones will probably fell it.
Well you can see people in HN are very keen to defend Apple as being the world's most privacy friendly tech company, despite no evidence in that direction :)
Also, after a couple generations the ancestors become so many that the "legacy" contribution from a given ancestor to a given descendant becomes statistically negligible.
The dumb thing about recommendation algorithms are that they assume that I’d like the same things, regardless of my mood or current situation. YouTube Music at least try to make guesses based on the time of day, but fail to take the actual music into account and just focus on the bands, and not the tempo, lyrics and overall sound of a track.

The only “algorithm” that sort of work is Amazons book recommendation, but I’m not sure that not just based on what others have bought.
That does not make iOS apps and android apps substitutes for each other, which means they are different markets. You can use public transport instead of driving, still if only one company built cars it would be a monopoly.
The damn thing is responsive too. Amazing
Take a guess about what will happen if everything catches up with itself and goes back to normal after these strange times continuing from last year.

Everyone (that is the early birds, whales, pumpers and the crypto hype squad) will cash in or take some of their profits off the table. Leaving the retail investor hodling the bag AGAIN by jumping in late and hoping for another price pump.

Obviously, this is caused by the usual suspects in pumping (and dumping) coins on Twitter. No need to mention any names, they know who they are.

You can easily identify a late comer when they keep asking: 'Is it too late to buy ${NEXT_BIG_CRYPTO}', 'When will it go back up again?', '${NEXT_BIG_CRYPTO} to the MOON'.

In times of euphoria and tulip mania the wise one says: What goes up, musk comes down. Tread carefully.
This might be true. But my point was that DuckDuckGo costs me too much time.
To rephrase it: DuckDuckGo is more expensive to use. (At least for me).
Why does the gap between lowest and highest paid workers at a company matter?

For example, if you took a company and split it into two companies, one with the higher paid half of the workforce and one with the lower paid, would that be improving the world?
I've had a similar idea about time. If you imagine the universe as a giant cellular automaton you still have to encode time into the application of transition rules. Unless it's nondeterministic and constantly oscillating, with "forward" sinply having more possible states than "backwards".

In that model the universe would be kinda like a block chain, the longer an event is in the past, the less likely it is to be undone by the random walk through the state space.

Considering that Spacetime is one unified thing, your weird pet theory to explain gravity is kinda the same than my weird pet theory for time.

Nice! :D
In the novel, "Feed", one of the characters has a hobby of searching for all sorts of random things, in order to confuse the algorithms. She would add absurd items to her shopping cart, without buying any of them.

The book, written in 2002, was very prescient.
But it does not have the costs associated with building a tower in that area.
So glad the people I know on WhatsApp have started migrating to telegram and signal.

Facebook can just go away.
Sorry, this makes no sense.
That seems the opposite of open source thinking, which might be why you didn't published it and why you think that way. As an open source author myself I see this as a fair move. Just different opinions :)

"The hard part is building the app, not changing a parameter" that really depends, why didn't you take an open source implementation yourself and built on top of it? Then it wouldn't be "as hard", would it? If you want to go the hard road that's totally fine, but it's not fair to say that because you go that road you deserve something that someone else got easier using pre-existing technology. Also there's literally dozens of famous examples in science and medicine when the hard part is changing a parameter and saving millions of lives.
