> First, how do you even locate the carrier groups?

Perhaps by these SAR satellites China has been launching? SAR satellites have AFAIU been fairly effectively miniaturized recently, enabling a wannabe-superpower like China to send up hundreds or even thousands of them if they want to, making it infeasible to destroy them all cost-effectively at least with today's technology.

I'm not sure what the current level of coverage these things have, but it seems that today the technology exists to track surface naval assets day and night, and through clouds, at a somewhat affordable cost (for a superpower wannabe). So the trick of hiding a carrier battle group in the vast ocean might no longer work.

> the carrier group can move and also shoot down missiles.

Considerably more difficult for ballistic missiles. I would also imagine that missiles in principle could be relatively affordable if they were mass-produced; today they are expensive because they are expensive to develop and there's no demand for a huge number of them. So you could saturate the defenses with enough missiles that even if many were shot down, at some point a sufficient number of them are going to get through.

> Oh and once you do launch those missiles you’ve committed to a big time war, and you’re open to counter-attack by American forces - not just the carriers but also land-based strike forces.

Of course, but that goes the other way as well; if those carriers launch strikes against a big modern opponent you're also in for a big time war. I just hope neither side commits such a folly.

> It’s not like the United States is sitting around saying well jeez I guess China built these missiles and we can’t do anything.

Of course not. Then again, China probably doesn't build those missiles because they think US carrier groups will easily shoot them down. Both sides certainly have smart people, as well as ossified bureaucracies gunning for the last war.

Note I'm not saying the time of carriers is gone. But it's been 80 years since carriers became the kingmakers of naval force projection, and technology has developed quite a bit since, and there (luckily!) has been no major conflict testing out these new developments. I just think it's foolish to be very certain one way or another.
Sounds like it would be the equivalent of scraping a database, which would, in fact, be subject to copyright law.

Yeah, just use a UUID unless the bits to store the UUID really are your driving limitation (they're not), having a UUID that is non-linear is almost always the most straight-forward option for identifying things, for the tradeoff of human readability (though you can get some of that back with prefixes and some other schemes). I'm not going to rehash the benefits that people have brought up for UUIDs, but they're in this thread. At this point what I'm concerned about is just... what is the best kind of UUID to use -- I've recently started using mostly v1 because time relationship is important to me (despite the unfortunate order issues) and v6[0] isn't quite so spread yet. Here's a list of other approaches out there worth looking at

- isntauuid[1] (mentioned in this thread, I've given it a name here)

- timeflake[2]

- HiLo[3][4]

- ulid[5]

- ksuid[6] (made popular by segment.io)

- v1-v6 UUIDs (the ones we all know and some love)

- sequential interval based UUIDs in Postgres[7]

Just add a UUID -- this almost surely isn't going to be what bricks your architecture unless you have some crazy high write use case like time series or IoT or something maybe.

> One is that I’ve come to view something like philosophical truth essentially unknowable

"Any human life holds the same intrinsic value".

To me this looks like a moral absolute that "can be known". :)

There can be discussions on the side of it about how this "value" can come to fruition, or how it can be extended to encompass all sentient life, or just all life, but you can take it as it is and it represents an objective moral absolute that has no influence from "the inside", as prof. Fitzpatrick put it. Do you think I am wrong?

If you didn’t actually inhale smoke, than it is hard to feel anything.

If you did and you did not see any immediate physical effects, than good for you (as it was really hard for you to get addicted).

When I smoked, even after a few years of smoking, first cigarette a day, or a cigarette after a few hours of break, would have quite dramatic effect on me - buzz/dizziness, increased heart rate, and feeling lightly stunned.

Note that I tried vaping (at the same time as I was smoking) and I felt almost nothing comparing to cigarettes - I got “better” results with snuff tobacco than with vaping.
Yes, but if you don't have it the other forms of government handle the former example in the post I replied to.

I fail to see how this is circular reasoning. Can you explain?
That’s counterintuitive
I smoke occasionally with friends during parties and never after. I've been doing this for a few years now and haven't gotten addicted. This is probably due to the fact the I was heavily addicted to video games during college and kinda of have a mental resistance now.

Smoking occasionally with friends is fun. Especially during cold weather.
You need to change every old cell in your body to a young version of the cell every once in a while.

Don't be so sure. If it was going to be the case, we'd be changing CPUs like early Seagate disks at our datacenter. There's no measurable longevity loss in the CPUs that we observed in our data center.

If only “technology” consisted of discrete things you could learn. In the real world all technologies are built on earlier technologies, and rely on other technologies, so really you’re asking at what layer of the onion to start with, or where on the onion to slice off a piece.

It’s not clear what you mean by “technology.” As stated the question seems analogous to asking what one grocery you should buy.

It's not clear to me how a stupid system like this is used in favour of, say, 5 numbers+5 numbers (4 decimals coordinates lead to a ~5.5m radius)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean with "high risk of errors on both ends", as there is no chance of mispelling. How do I know that? Because numbers are used in military standards for comms that have to be clear even through unreliable channels. Languages that have numbers which might be misunderstood specifically use a different number set (one example is the military in China).

Building your own solution when you have a GLOBALLY ACCEPTED standard that took YEARS to be agreed upon is criminal in my opinion, rescue missions on the Alps where different cultures meet being a great example why you should stick to numbers.

A contract is supposed to benefit both sides though. So maybe it's like an HOA that pays for a pool, as a benefit that comes with owning the house. But when it comes to things like you neighbors' ability to dictate your use of the property, it's more like a company that you only partly own because you bought most of it but there's others with part ownership and voting rights against your operating decisions. Point is, ownership is a set of rights, and the less rights you have, the less you own it.

> But on the self-hosting side, docker is making big strides there.

Docker is only part of the puzzle. Even being proficient with Docker (and running services in a traditional way), there was always a big barrier to self-hosting for me in networking. If you lose all of your cloud-equivalent functionality once you leave your home network, it isn't a realistic alternative. I'm not a network whiz and the builtin VPN functionality of my NAS is sadly not up to par either.

In comes Tailscale[0], which made it dirt easy to self-host my stuff and have it available anywhere (given there is a Tailscale client for it which has been the case for all my devices). Since I started using it, I've completely migrated my contacts, calendar, zettelkasten (Trilium) to self-hosting and started some home automation projects. For someone who tried and was stuck at the networking part in the past, it truly is a game changer (and I'd like to think I'm not the only one that is held back by that).

This can be explained as diffusion of responsibility. It's not really the same situation. Thus your moral obligations are not the same.
We can but it means that you'll have solar captors (wind turbine, solar pv) littering the ground _or_ we'll just eat less energy. I'm afraid not many of us are ready for any of these two.

> user-configurable UI systems like Smalltalk, Plan9, Emacs, Factor language and so on

The way I think about them, these are not "UI systems". These are operating systems.

That's how I see my Emacs. It's an operating system I work in, running as a guest in whatever traditional OS I happen to have on the machine. It provides a common API/abstraction to access resources and interface with the user[0]. It coordinates applications running on top of it.

The magic of Emacs comes from a slightly different approach: it's more focused, less restrictive, and deeply introspectable. By focused I mean, the core paradigm is that applications communicate with users through means of "buffers" containing rich text. Less restrictive - everything can talk to everything else, including poking at its internal state if it so desires. Because Emacs embraces this level of deep interoperability, it provides tools and culture[1] that help manage what would be otherwise ridiculously large interaction surface. And almost everything is thoroughly documented, you can quickly discover what code is being run to make something happen, jump to the definition of anything (including Emacs' C core, if you built from source), and potentially modify it and have the changes applied without restarting.

Being able to easily modify the UI you work with is a nice side effect of these features, but it's nowhere near the whole reason they're there.

--

[0] - More of the latter than of the former by default, but you can expand the API surface to cover more of the responsibilities of a typical OS if you need to.

[1] - For example, defadvice is a tool you can use to extend, modify and suppress any individual function in any Elisp executing in Emacs. It allows users to do things that would otherwise be bug-prone hacks, but it's still too much power for most use cases. This is where the culture comes in - both Emacs and third-party packages typically expose great many hooks around various activities, in anticipation of things people may want to override or extend. In practice, these hooks cover 90% of the things anyone may ever want, so defadvice is a rare sight.

Sounds like they need to prune the word list and/or group together possible mispronunciations, misspellings and misreadings. If "correct horse battery" is a location, then "correct hose battery" and "correct house battery" need to be synonyms of the same location, not alternate locations. Either that or remove horse, hose and house from the word list entirely.

Yes, well, no one has gotten a revised term to stick. Instead, the term Silicon Valley has grown to be less precise, especially when you’re outside. I love it when the FAANG group is considered “Silicon Valley”, since one of them definitely ain’t.

My favorite example of a similar phenomenon is “where do Yankees live”? In Mexico, it can be pretty much anywhere north of the Rio Grande. In Missouri it might be New York, in New York it’s probably New Hampshire or Maine.

> They need a way to transfer location data by the word of mouth, which is extremely difficult when you're using numbers.

That doesn't sound correct. Numbers are universal, easier to remember, and less ambiguous than three English words. I don't see how it's more error prone to use numbers based systems, which many organisations and communities have been using for decades. And also considering the length of the three words which is roughly the same.
> No, they are literally using it

They are not. They're offering a pre-paid card that users can top up with their crypto.com wallets. [1]

The Crypto.com Visa Card is a prepaid card. Broadly speaking, prepaid cards are the same as debit cards. The difference is that debit cards are linked to your bank account, but prepaid cards need to be topped up. In our case, you can top up using bank account transfers, other credit/debit cards, or cryptocurrency.

And Deutsch Telecom isn't using a blockchain either. They're selling data to a company that then puts the data on a blockchain. That's not using a blockchain.

They're imagining a kind of critic who can identify the _next_ best-seller while it is still in obscurity.
True, the record contains both a classical sequential id and a uuid (to maintain backwards compatability), but now everything is linked through the uuid instead of the id. Convenient, indeed. And there's never much data associated with a single uuid, so performance is not an issue.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this conflating CPU TDP and overall system consumption? When a system is under maximum sustained load, power consumption increases are not limited to the CPU or SoC. I suspect the figures published by Apple (6.8W and 39W) represent the absolute theoretical extremes possible by the system, not typical numbers for real-world idle and load.
Who said there was a conflict? The two are related. That was the original point.

Ask HN: How to split equity with a slightly later co-founder?
Hey HN,

I worked on a side project from Aug-Feb of 2020-2021, when I decided it could actually become a product that I'd like to release and, depending on reception, quit my job to grow into a business. Since Feb, I've been productionizing the codebase, setting up infrastructure, creating pitch decks, business plans, and feature specs for the upcoming beta. I've written about 100k lines of code, which are split between data processing pipelines and a front-end web app.

I realized about a month ago that I wasn't going to make my target release date alone, and asked if my friend would help out. He loved the idea and said he'd be happy to. After introducing him to the idea, I told him we should come up with an equity split (even if it feels premature) that's favorable to both of us just in case. He, being unfamiliar with startup investing and equity splits, told me to come up with a number and it'd probably be reasonable.

I'm struggling to do that. If I were to try and do the whole thing on my own, I wouldn't be able to launch by my target date without cutting significant features, but I do have the skillset to do it. He has no background in the business side of things.

So, we're looking at a co-founder who:

- Will be working part-time (same as me)

- Has a similar programming skillset (but more experience in web app dev)

- No business background

- Coming into a project where the idea and release are mapped out, and 100k lines of code are written.

I want him to be motivated in case the beta goes well, but a 50/50 or 60/40 split seems unfair. To complicate it even more, the beta should be revenue-generating from day one, but of course who knows how well it'll perform. Could be a few hundred in revenue (10+ users), could be tens of thousands (200+ users).

I'm considering an 85/15 split with a 50/50 revenue split after expenses. Am I totally wrong?
