Distributed immutable ledger is astonishingly relevant in a variety of security and financial (and financial security) areas, but good luck explaining to the non-tech execs why they should fund projects using that rather than FOMO on “but blockchain!!!”

For purposes of talking w/ execs or boards, there are something like seven yes/no reasonably explainable properties of chains of blocks that toggled some ways give you alt coins and in one particular other way give you a fantastically high performance distributed ledger a trusted authority can keep an eye on — you can have your cake and eat it too if you aren’t being a coin.

Businesses often want that outcome, but they verbalize what they want as “bLoCkChAiN!!! to the moon!!!” and it’s tech’s job to say wait, what are you trying to do?

Quite probably, they actually could benefit from something like QLDB:

> you'd have to eminent domain swathes of, say, New Haven

Just to pick apart that specific example, you could instead build a bridge from West Haven to East Haven with much less eminent domain, but much more complaints about the bridge being built.

When a suspension bridge was proposed for where I-95 crosses the Potomac, the residents of Alexandria complained that it would be an eyesore and were able to get a drawbridge built instead of a suspension bridge.

Wish there was a ATX-like standard for laptops. It wouldn't work for 13-inch laptops with super-tight internals, but for gaming laptops and mobile workstations it'd be awesome. Imagine your laptop is getting a bit old, so you swap out motherboard, CPU and RAM. That's the kind of laptop I want.
I agree and it’s somewhat addressed in the book - if you find the premise at all interesting you should definitely read it, even if you’re skeptical of the practicality of implementing the philosophy (for lack of a better word) it’s interesting and the examples are compelling.

Some of the examples are whole-cloth cultural changes of entire industries (usually commercial flight actually, IIRC), but some are small, simple, changes that can be implemented by one or two people and still have a dramatic impact. One of the smaller-scale examples from the book that really stuck out was the attitude & approach of a surgeon in an operating room. When surgeons approach mistakes from the perspective of “okay, this happened, let’s focus on how we fix it” mistakes are reported to the surgeon quickly, the surgeon gets accurate information quickly, and can respond appropriately. Result: more mistakes are reported but the surgeon has fewer complications and better outcomes.

When surgeons approach mistakes by getting angry or assigning blame to the nurse who did X or the resident who did Y those surgeons have fewer (reported) mistakes but worse outcomes. Why? People don’t fess up because they fear the consequences. And when a mistake is identified, people don’t give accurate and complete information because their primary concern is KYA rather than fixing the problem at hand.
I mean.. there definitely are perfect little spheres involved in the process.

I haven't watched Interstellar, but this would certainly make sense given Earth's escape velocity (11.19km/s) is over 2x that of Mars (5.03km/s), and nearly 5x that of the Moon (2.38km/s).

This wasn't your argument. You stated that mutability was the reason that D couldn't have a good GC, not the size of its community or resources. According to tiobe D is more popular than OCaml as well.

> Proof of work = trust physics to determine what happened.

This is the kind of vapor Bitcoiners love to inhale and it's just not true. In the history of Bitcoin, it has happened many times where the "work" of a chain was irrelevant because humans disagreed with the contents of that chain. See: 2010 fork, 2013 fork, 2017 fork, etc.

When two chains are mined using the same binary, yes, "physics" seems to be in control on which chain wins (ie. the one with the most work). But when one chain expresses a slightly different protocol, humans take over and decide which protocol is the valid one (even if it has less work).

And if humans are ultimately deciding on what's valid Bitcoin and what's not, we have to ask ourselves which humans are the most influential in the discussion on what's valid and what's not. We need to know who these players are because with a project worth this much, you can bet that they are targets of powerful and wealthy entities.

Apple parts ways with former Facebook employee amid backlash
If the sight picture is the usual one for the pilot, sure. I think if you throw a 20-hour pilot at an unfamiliar airport with a different pattern configuration than they're used to (right or left, direct to base, etc), your chances of overshooting can go up a lot. Throw in tight parallels and it's not great.

I train at an airport with parallels with a tight-enough runway separation gap to necessitate a 15-degree offset in both T/O & L on the GA runway. > 100-hour me overshot into the adjacent approach when being cleared direct to base for the "commercial runway" which I've probably only been given once before. Shameful, yes, and a learning experience, but I never overshoot on the adjacent (we also have different TPAs for the parallels, probably for this reason though).

There is nothing illegal about that. It is fully within his right, and the manufactures do not call it gambling anyway.

I have some general questions, not directly related to the product, but rather, the company:

- How long has it been since you released the product? I’ve always been curious as to when exactly in a product’s lifecycle that HN Launches occur. Certainly seems to skew towards somewhat established companies.

- You have some great names using your product! Did you market to specific teams within these companies or to the company as a whole? I’d love to learn how you went about successfully acquiring these “big fish” customers as a young product and company.

Thanks

Actual physicist here. Don't get me started on Interstellar. There is so much needlessly dumb crap in this movie that I don't even know where to start, and the fact that people think it's realistic is just a kick in the pants.

Just for one example...

The crew being sent to save the Earth blasts off in a big ol' chemical rocket with stages. Yeah, fine. I guess rocket tech hasn't advanced all that much in this future. Then they land a ship on a planet in a gravity well so intense that it causes big relative time differences (Note: the gravity alone should have killed them). Then they blast off with the same ship and no big clunky chemical rocket stages. Why didn't this ship just blast off of Earth as is? The energy to get off Earth is nothing compared to getting out of a gravity well that deep! I guess Nolan thought an oldschool staged rocket looked cool.

The SFX people did some actual science to figure out the black hole visuals but, other than that, this is a far worse movie than Gravity as far as science is concerned. The new age emotions resolution was just a big ol' F U to the crowd. Lazy, sloppy writing.

There are plenty of unrealistic movies on this list, and that's fine. Some are just damned fun movies (e.g. Back to the Future). Interstellar sticks out from the pack for it's pretensions and underlying ridiculousness.

5M is nothing to that pipeline management firm. I think nothing will change because the "fine" is tiny and later, when a VP of opsec gets to decide between a massively expensive hardening of security which includes big recurring costs to keep an opsec team on payroll and just pocketing a multimillion dollar bonus for optimizing the opsec budget, he will choose the latter. There's no risk of getting jail time and any reputation damage won't be to his personal reputation, but to that firm he will have left long ago.
I tried this, but it doesn't have basic CLI tooling like an autoformatter or an LSP, which are very useful when getting started in a language.
Echoing the other feedback here--I thought it would be cheaper too. The DIY edition where you have to bring your own components is at least double the price of a slightly slower laptop with RAM and storage included. I was expecting the DIY to start at $300-400, the current price point is far too high for unproven build quality.
Those things are perfectly legitimate usages of time. The whole point of time having value outside of money is that we should have to power to spend our time on things that don't produce money.

In my experience, when salary is narrowly banded such that there is little negotiation within the band for a position, people negotiate position as a proxy for salary. It produces the same net result in a more convoluted and opaque way. I've seen this pattern in several places. You see patterns in companies where new hires are consistently more senior than existing employees, largely because compensation has not kept up with the market rate.

This creates some perverse incentives. I've worked at large companies where when compensation didn't fit an existing standardized value, they would literally create a "new position type" in the HR system for that hire that not coincidentally matched that hire's salary requirement. This caused a weird proliferation of titles that had little semantic relationship to the overall organization. At one company, they had 1,000 roles in the HR system for this reason, that at any sensible company could have been reduced to fewer than 100.
Almost all science fiction has some leap of imagination to make the story work. The Expanse tv show (and books) have the Epstein Drive and the protomolecule stuff. Obviously Star Trek is even more fantastical, so is Dune, or almost any space science fiction. Maybe Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars is an exception (one has to assume fully terraforming Mars in a couple centuries is in fact doable), but there's no movie or tv show for those books.
I'm about to try out Sicily. Italy in general is relatively cheap, you have good places and good food. I found surprising that many places don't have good wifi, but you can get really cheap SIM cards/hotspots (compare to US prices). Language might be a barrier too, but especially in the new generations English is getting much better - at least understandable :)

Why did he/she retire with millions in fiat if BTC is the future?
Definitely understand where you’re coming from. The main reason we decided to go with a monthly pricing model is that we see Ditto as a tool that spans the product development process and roles of a company. Compared to localization management systems, which might come into play mainly at the end of a project, we’ve seen pretty consistent usage of Ditto across the drafting, design, development, and post-launch phases with our current customers. Oftentimes, designers and writers will use our Figma integration in the early stages of a project (taking advantage of the text component library to reuse existing text) and then other stakeholders like legal or marketing will come in to Ditto approve/review copy. In parallel, devs can fetch the latest copy from their command-line whenever there are updates as they’re building. Post-launch, updates to copy can be made in Ditto, and then easily pulled in by engineers.
What the hell kind of jibber is this. Don't listen to this, Don't lay down, go do something! They don't win _until you stop fighting.

This response doesn't answer the question asked.

China is increasing their pollution. The issue is around leadership. How can the US lead China to lower pollution levels, something they are currently increasing?

The question on how to lead them doesn't point fingers. It doesn't ask China to cleanup any past mess done by others. Bringing this up avoids dealing with the very difficult issue of... how do outside parties lead China to be more environmentally friendly when they are increasingly going in the opposite direction.
2020 Was a Terrible Year to Become a New Author
Thank you! That means a ton.

1. We integrated with Figma first on the design side due to a couple of reasons: we were really excited about the growth on the platform, the community, and their ability to serve as a single source of truth for design (with live editing). As an early developer on both their Plugins platform and REST API, we've definitely seen their APIs evolve.

Ideally, we want to be design-tool agnostic (including integrating with Sketch, AdobeXD, InVision, etc.) and integrate with everywhere copy lives (including docs, sheets, etc.) once we have enough engineering bandwidth. We think serving as that text layer / infrastructure for text is a fairly different value prop from design tooling, but we do hope to decrease our reliance on Figma over time.

2. Copy is definitely unique in that it's touched by so many roles horizontally in an org (not only in EPD but also marketing/legal/etc.), unlike a lot of role-based tooling (devtools, design tools, etc). We've been really lucky so far in seeing a lot of our growth happen organically by those at larger companies with roles owning the copy (UX writers, content designers, copywriters, etc.) championing our tool to other stakeholders. However, this is definitely something we're still trying to figure out how to do effectively, and we've seen some cases where adoption is held-up because of cross-team communication.

3. At the moment, Ditto brings text into development as structured JSONs, which we keep fairly open-ended on how teams want to integrate into their UIs and 3rd party tools. They can also manipulate the text in development and/or bring it into A/B testing frameworks. In the future, we hope to handle some of those use cases ourselves :)

In Western Europe (at least Spain, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, Czechia and even Hungary) Teslas are taxis.

In Eastern Europe they are still significantly less cool than similarly priced ICE cars (at least among the segment of people who can actually afford to buy these cars). Teslas aren’t cheap cars, with the same money you could buy a status symbol used Mercedes G- or S-class that looks far more expensive than it actually is.

The design of the Model 3 doesn’t really make for much of a status symbol, the more expensive Teslas have either been driven for hundreds of thousands of kilometers or are priced almost in line with a decent S-class.

Not OP, but I see the two sides of it. On the one hand, I totally understand your position.

On the other hand, if I take my personal case as an academia user, I can't use Guix just because I can't get e.g. CUDA with it. And neither I nor my lab will ever have the time and means to reimplement a free CUDA, so we can only suck it up.

That is also not what is meant by decentralization in the blockchain sense. A decentralized use of git would be a graph with no central hub: each developer syncing their repo with one or more other developers directly, not with a central "source-of-truth" repo. In reality if Github disappeared everyone would just find a new host to centralize on. Furthermore Github creates lock-in by hosting data that actually would not survive any migration attempts: issue tracking and pull request discussions.
I really don't buy this oldness argument. We have to build new alignment you say? That makes it like greenfield elsewhere. Connecticut is dense you say? That's just much parts of Europe.
