Part of the reasoning "could/should" be that not everything can be a venture backed business.

The question often asked is "assuming this takes off, how big can it get"? The 2nd question should be "is this an important problem to solve".

Understanding that we don't have all the information at this early stage. Remember, we were asking ourselves how ridiculous AirBnB seemed at the beginning, or Twitter, etc etc.

I will admit, my initial reaction was "why"? The US has Venmo. Why haven't they done this, or do they, or if they don't, why not?

Is this an important problem to solve? I'm not sure why it is. I've managed this sort of bill splitting back in my early 20s where we had a house of 8 people. We set-up a bank acount, and when a bill came due, I posted the bill, and a spreadsheet of what everyone owed. They then put money into the account, and I would pay the bill.

How big was the pain? Minor. The founder states they "don't like talking to friends about money"... harden up! Your friends are living in the house, they can't expect you to pay for their living expenses.

Do I trust this company? No, AND I don't trust the providers either.

Do I think there is an opportunity for them to pivot into something better but stay along the same problem space? Yes. No idea what that is...
>The coffee filters people are wearing over their face will do close to nothing

I'm not an expert, but I believe this is not quite accurate. As I understand it, even a piece of cloth helps prevent the spread of the virus to others. The mechanism is that the virus exits your nose/mouth in the form of macroscopic droplets that later break down into microscopic droplets a few inches from your face. A bandanna will catch the big droplets before they split apart.
Have you considered just how much of the international surplus the US produces, and how much of the total production it currently consumes?

I suspect running the numbers would indicate a clear international need for the US breadbasket, and not a decrease in overall cost due to a large drop in supply.
Have you tried grains of paradise?
Also, you can try reducing the "contrast" and "definition" settings. I think in this case the hoodie is taking a lot of the lines, I'll take a look, thanks!
To me ignore the situation completely with unpredictable results would mean: the compiler generates an assembly that could not be correct, and then the behaviour of the program is determined by what the processor does.

Doing something like removing checks is not ignoring the situation: is acting in some particular way when undefined behaviour is detected.

And it has neither unpredictable results: it specifies what happens, since these checks are added systematically.

I don't see anywhere in the standard that the compilers are free to change at their choice the semantic of the program if undefined behaviour is detected. Rather undefined means to me that the compiler generates code where the result cannot be known because it will depend on external factors (basically the hardware implementation).
I'm Lithuanian and the main use case for "periphery" is to describe everything else outside the major cities:) E.g. : they live in periphery, aka in a small village.
Welcome to the Libertarian party.
If they’re not creating a new State but joining an existing one, it just might. Depends on how this plays out in Oregon and Idaho too, but it won’t affect the Senate.
Since it's CPU-bound and spends a lot of time in the kernel would compiling the kernel for the specific CPU used make sense? Or are the CPU cycles wasted on things the compiler can't optimize?
You're right, apologies.
Fake science.

Fake news.

Hey, money talks!

Firefox is choosing user privacy side.

But there is 2 problems:

1.Most people are *** and go behind "every thing google" without asking any questions about it...

2.companies optimize sites to what brings them moreeconomical advantages, what's more "known" and what makes them expend less (if you build it for chromium, look at how many browsers it will work on.)

People do not study history and they should, because it would make them remember they already lived this with IE6... AND THE FIGHT IT WAS TO GET OUT OF THAT SHITHOLE...

And make no mistake - it was thanks to Mozilla - alone - we got out!!!
Firefox does have a lot of problems, but everyone owes them being in a more "advanced" web!

But maybe that's just me...
I bet the performance differences are minimal except perhaps on some contrived cases. The compiler should not assume things it doesn't know.
But show me a benchmark.
Yes this is basically cancer, minus the "middle class" ants being infertile. There are virus-induced cancers too, which we should probably reconsider as a form of selfish mutualism in light of this.
Since the pandemic I spent months in 4 different countries and 10 different cities. I enjoyed beaches, parks and many different apartments and cool hotel rooms. I spent a month at the family cottage. I visited my parents and grandmother for the longest time since I moved out nearly a decade ago.

I am not in captivity. Nobody is. Working remote is what you make it. You can confine yourself to your small flat - but you don't have to.
This is your not frequent enough reminder that "doctor" is not a synonym for "scientist", or more specifically epidemiologist.

Medical doctor's are basically mechanic's for the human body. The human body is complex, so this is a high bar to clear and an important function, but it doesn't magically grant them knowledge about concepts outside that field.
Yeah, it's disappointing to see how I still see people wearing their masks incorrectly, e.g. just over the mouth and not covering their noses.

Sometimes I think human beings are advanced, but then I walk into a public toilet and I see evidence how many are still no better than animals. It's a simple technology, urinate into the hole where the water can wash it away and we'll remain hygienic, but a lot of people still fail at that.
Show HN: Django Code Improvement Suggestion Engine
6 months ago I released Django Doctor to review github pull requests.

Now it can be installed as a command line tool via `pip install django-doctor`.

So now instead of reviewing deltas in GitHub PRs it runs locally and analyses your entire codebase to suggests improvements.

A nifty trick is it uses the browser to allow you to pick and choose which suggestions to take and then adds `# django-doctor: skip foo` to lines you don't want changing.

Hopefully after 6 months, 1000 installations on github, and tens of thousands of builds in the cloud it shouldn't have too many bugs when running locally! Let me know!

I just noticed your username is Hungarian for sure. Pun intended. :) If you've spoken to a lot of Hungarians, as I have, I think some of the distance between "school English" and "street English" for Hungarians has to do with the distance between English and Hungarian. I haven't noticed any school/street difference with Germans speaking English. Most of the Germans I've met I could swear speak English as a first language. For what it's worth, I speak intermediate "school Hungarian", but "street Hungarian" still feels a lifetime away for me. When I learned Spanish I feel like I went from "school Spanish" to "street Spanish" in 3-5 months.
So it's 8 dollars for the astronaut plan. That's what I pay for robux to my kids, per week. It's jaw dropping to me how such advanced tech is made available at a single digit price. Thanks for sharing.
Tons of redundancy also creates tons of room for fresh ideas, this basically applies the ideas of capitalism to government.
The mistake that many people make, and that I think you're implicitly making here too, is this notion of "controlled study". If the study denies the result seen time and again in real life, perhaps the study isn't studying correctly.
This article is pure political propaganda with a "hear me out" start. Should not even be linked from here.
> For example, if signed integer overflow yielded an unspecified result rather than causing undefined behavior, I wonder if any implementations would be adversely affected.

Yes.

There are several architectures where signed integer overflow traps, just like division by 0 on x86. (which is why division by 0 is UB) If a C compiler for those architectures was required to yield an unspecified result instead of trapping, every time the code performed a signed integer addition/subtraction, it would need to update a trap handler before and afterward to return an unspecified value instead of invoking the normal trap handler.
Would this only affect keys that don't have an associated passphrase that's used to decrypt them?
Why on earth would this comment be downvoted?
> It seems like any rational person could see the connection between drugs and the dystopian aspects of the Tenderloin.

There seems to be a correlation vs causation issue there though. An equally plausible rational explanation is that the criminal act of selling drugs tends to make more sense in a place where that act is overlooked. If drug sales were decriminalized then those areas would tend to be less focused. Case in point is the proliferation of legal marijuana dispensaries. At least in the places that I've seen these (in Seattle), they don't seem to induce a higher criminal / unsanitary / dystopian atmosphere. Perhaps my perspective is unique.

>Japan and Singapore are examples of countries that are extremely tough on drugs. I believe it is no coincidence that these places also turned out to be essentially the opposite of the Tenderloin with regards to public safety and heigene.

Yes, and Singapore's approach still regards possession / use as a medical with an initial focus on rehabilitation, not just punishment. Singapore has some pretty big advantages over the US in its administration of the law (single jurisdiction / set of laws, single highly populous city). The laws vary widely in the US (consider Marijuana legalization an obvious example).
Like "Me parece" in Spanish.
Exactly. I was in progress to do the same and then the bloody pandemic hit.
The only reason the CDC decided to provide "guidance" on lifting mask use indoors was because there is now sufficient evidence to not just prove the fact that it did indeed come from the Wuhan lab but Fauci and the NIH FUNDED IT.
I think we should all be incredulous that any of this is "normal."
That's reasonable and also what I would like. But what is the mental model of someone wearing their mask alone in the woods or in their car?

So, yes, we should explain why an N95 is better than a handkerchief, but it seems like there are plenty of people who don't care about the details and just need to be told that one is more effective.
It’s kinda the thing fire departments or police do when a citizen goes above and beyond what’s expected. They’ll present an award to create an atmosphere of cooperation and bonhomie. Whether minutia is of interest is up to you.
I think Covid is driving a great deal of this division now. People in rural Oregon see red states like Idaho almost entirely back to normal, without the promised piles of dead bodies in the streets, and feel like they could have that for themselves if not for Governor Kate Brown and the state's ridiculous protocols and mandates, which even include masking for outdoor youth sports.
I don't see how it's not true for a distributed blockchain. People have forked the Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains, and individuals chose whether to follow the fork or what they believed to be the original, uncorrupted version. Technically, anyone can fork a blockchain; socially and due to the governance processes of the blockchain's user community, this is difficult to pull off.
>violate more and more American values and American freedoms

If they were really a proponent of freedom then they would support the freedom of adults to smoke/injest/snort/inject anything they want. "Addicts will be attracted to Oregon..." precisely because of that freedom.
With the typical masks available to and worn by ordinary people, exhalation pressure seems to cause a lot of air to bypass the mask too - except that instead of doing it via a well-designed valve that redirects the airflow somewhere sensible, it blows out the top and steams up glasses or out the sides and towards whoever's standing behind you.
Ask HN: Give Money Function on Clubhouse
I noticed there's a give money function on Clubhouse. Why is it there? Do people use it?
> Check your privilege.

You do not understand what privilege means. We are talking about cryptocurrency, not institutional racism or sexism, or other cases where power structures are used to oppress a minority group of people. That is the context for using the term privilege, and Bitcoin is nowhere near that context.

Plus if someone has the technological capability to access bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, they are most likely already privileged.

Putting aside your flippant attempts to weaponize wokeness (yes, I read your other posts), I'm open to understanding how Bitcoin is helping lift people out of poverty in developing nations. Care to cite some real world examples?
That's untrue for the current generation.

I and a lot of my Indian peers consider English to be our 1st language.

Yea, but the alcohol level is on par with a bottle of Kombucha most of the time. You'd have to drink a ten pack to maybe even get the same feeling you'd get from a single 5% beer.

There is perhaps a danger to someone attempting sobriety, from the psychological response to the taste. It'd been twelve years for me when I had my first NA, and I had to take a real hard look at my near-overwhelming OMG YES feeling. Thankfully I just love the taste and am not secretly wishing for a real one.
You can download the books on your PC and DeDRM them using Calibre. Not sure if its legal, but as far as im concerned i paid for those books and i should be able to read them wherever i like.

OLED is expensive, but it's definitely worth it for movie watching.

I upgraded from a 10 year old 42" 1080p LCD to a 65" 4K OLED and it's so damn nice. Darker scenes in TV/moves are so much clearer without a backlight shining through everything and washing everything out.
Why is it relevant? The only hurdle I had to overcome was having recent PCR test on hand when passing borders - otherwise it gave me freedom, I used to be bound to the capital city because we "absolutely must go to the office or we can't work at all" (now they're thinking about selling the office space, haha); it also increased my daily rate by 20% as the demand for software engineers went significantly up.
Slavery was the chief issue preventing the colonies from creating a united government. At first, the Articles of Confederation created a shell of a government that quickly fell apart leading to the constitutional convention and the creation of the US Government as we know it today. At the time, slavery was the most contested issue when writing the current constitution.

It's important to recognize almost all of the economic power of the US came from slave labor exports like tobacco. That's why we have so many Virginians as founding fathers and why the capital was put in Virginia. The compromise that led to the Southern Colonies accepting the US constitution is famously known as the 3/5 compromise. This compromise heavily impacted US politics for decades as new states had to be evenly added to maintain the balance between slave holding states and non-slave holding states. When this balance fell apart, the civil war started.

The issue of slavery weighed heavily in the creation of the US from political, economic, and cultural perspectives for decades. Slavery formed the economic basis of the early United States and 250 years later, we're still feeling its impact.
Small London?

How is that small?
I think that would be useful eventually, but unfortunately my experience trying beta 3 this evening has been disastrous, so I’d definitely encourage you to focus on stability and reliability of the main build system first. Right now, it seems the only way to successfully build our code using beta 3 is to have none of the old Babel-related packages and config around any more, but that means we can’t use other essentials like Jest or ESLint that also rely on Babel. So unfortunately it looks like our current choices with Parcel are using Parcel 1 (recently broken in many ways as other comments have noted), Parcel 2 beta 2 (which was mostly working OK for us, though sourcemaps were broken) or Parcel 2 beta 3 (doesn’t look viable at all based on tonight’s experiments). Right now this project is only at prototype-to-MVP stage in a stealth-mode startup, so it’s worth spending some of our time to experiment with different tools and infrastructure if it gets us to a good set-up for the long term, but I hope you get to production-ready before we do! :-)
I made absolutely no changes 1 year, but because my workspace at work was in an alcove next to an air conditioning vent that pulled air from the outside, I completely dodged the office cold because I basically had my own positive pressure environment.

It's more likely your lifestyle is simply keeping you away from people and places that experience high levels of foot traffic.
"I think what made it stick was just knuckling down, working our own bar, and caring about the customer experience above our own". That's 90% of job done out there!

It amazes me how many places fail on these simple things. You walk into the toilet and that lock hasn't been fixed since last Christmas. The wobbly table is still there,or the kitchen that mix up orders all the time. But then I suppose It's no different to any other businesses, where simple things never get fixed too.
You do, do you? I suppose it is of the variety where miners magically only use clean energy?

Kill the value of POW as a store of money and see how much of that computing still happens. Then you’ll know how useful it is.
> For instance, what basis is there for universal healthcare other than 'we should help each other'? You can't make the argument that it would 'save the government money' to the right ...

Something else: It fosters a more competitive work environment, by allowing capable workers to choose the best firms.

It also separates health cost, whose administration is expensive for businesses, from working capabilities of employees. It’s a major problem for small companies.

Finally, anything more than essential coverage could and should still be privatized, and paid for by individuals. Much like today’s life insurance today. e.g., long cancer recovery and care.
I'm not sure if I can do this topic justice solely over text, but I'm going to try because I genuinely think it's important to address, and with the plea that I'm truly not trying to be a horse's ass here and disparage people who have different needs. If anything, I think people who have different needs are the ones being taken advantage of, both coming and going.

This quote really stood out to me:

> and they [disposable plastic straws] do not require any upkeep or maintenance for proper hygiene due to their disposable nature.

It's a rather bright example of the problem our global society has put itself into: there's still a need to deal with these items, but that need is no longer on the person using the item; it has been outsourced to the rubbish bin and, thus, to society and the environment at large.

We've done this to ourselves in myriad ways. Expanding public transport is "unfair" to people who have different needs because perhaps some people cannot quickly or easily board transit vehicles, or those trips do not go to the front door of where some people need to go. We cannot eliminate or shrink parking requirements or availability for the same reason.

Politically, we stop at "well, can't do that" without considering "OK, how could we do almost all of that with modifications for people who have other needs?"

We've fallen into the perfect must be the only outcome otherwise why bother. Some of that is genuinely not knowing, but large parts of opposition to the changes we know we need to make--both individually and on the companies and businesses supplying us in environmentally-poor ways--are disingenuously hiding behind those arguments simply to obstruct.

That's frustrating.
And the counter example on that is that disproportionate taking of POC adult males from the community has a destabilization effect on that community / family.

Can somebody please explain to me this modern fashion of employees attempting to strongarm CEOs to publicly voice views irrelevant to the company's mission? I've been seeing a lot of this lately and I simply don't understand it. Should CEOs also be forced to publicly state that smoking is bad for you and recycling is good?
And how do they simulate us having consciousness?
There are also such things as "pneumonics" and "fluidics" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidics

These are used, for example, in avia and rocket engines - in first or independent contours of their control systems. Such logic devices are very reliable, relatively simple and can work at extreme temperatures.
Wow. Such impressive bpftrace skill! Keeping this article under my pillow ;)

I think what GP is saying isn't that there is one standardized playbook for revenue generation in the software space.

Rather, GP is saying that VCs have become very efficient at identifying opportunity areas in software, injecting money into founding teams in those areas, and using that money along with their influence on the founders and outside connection to create rapid growth.

Unless you can build a sales team to compete with that model, you get maybe two years before a VC-backed competitor shows up and starts acquiring big enterprise accounts at an astonishing pace due to their advantages in funding/connections. For an example, just look at Notion - they had to take on more funding to compete with Coda, Slab, and the half dozen other similar applications with deep-pocketed backers that have sprung up since Notion proved the market for such a product. (To be clear, IDK if that's why they took on more funding, I am speculating)

This means its now much harder to create a company like Github, Qualtrics, or Ebay, which reached mega status despite being bootstrapped.
Note that this means, like, cyber-attackers, not hand-to-hand physical or ranged combat.

I mean, I expected it would be cyber-attackers, but I would eagerly have accepted the alternatives as well.
Worst part about decent Feature Phone games was the device / carrier lock in.

I was always upset as a massive FF7 fan that there was a canonical game only released for certain (one?) feature phones tied to a Japanese telecom, and despite my best efforts I was unable to obtain a phone with a copy of all episodes downloaded (though I did find some translated transcripts that I could read for the story).

Very happy that it will now be included as a part of Ever Crisis.
