I think it's perhaps a little clearer to frame it this way:

SO has a network effect moat, not a corpus-size moat (I don't know that SO was ever thinking the size of its corpus would stave off competitors--they probably were correctly assuming that their user-base was their moat). The network-effect moat keeps the rate-of-change of the corpus higher than competitors, which is where the value is (not the size of the corpus). This moat has held up really well apart from (maybe) GH Discussions, which seems (to me) likely to succeed because GH has a similarly large network of experts.
Yep, my favorite setup as well, french press and grinder. Easy to make and very satisfying.
Duolingo Ad with Adult Content

In fairness coffee is an amazingly cheap hobby compared to others. The difference between high end and low end in coffee (lets say 1 percentile to 98 percentile) is probably only about 5X. i.e. the worst coffee you'll buy is probably $6/ lb and the most expensive is approx $34/lb. So you can go hog wild for $34 per week or 2 weeks...
The whole idea was that if they become evil, or sell the site to someone evil, all the content was CC-SA, so it was possible to anyone to make a clone and continue from there.

I guess most of the posters understand that they may sell the site, but the content was safe because of the license.
But you don't need trending topics for that. It can be replaced with a simple search, which is way more effective. Having important news jumping into the trending topics tend to add noise to the search because of the popularity.

I do searches all the time to check whenever Github/Jira/whatever is down, or when there's some helicopter over my neighborhood, or even in major events, but as soon as it enters trending topics it's a bit less effective.
I find binning fascinating when this topic comes up. You start with a pile of 1 cent parts with a 10% tolerance, go through it and measure each and every one, and you magically end up with bins of 1% tolerance parts that now cost a dollar. The parts didn't change at all! And yet merely the fact that they are sorted gives them so much more value.
It’s so cheap it angers me.

Given the ultra-integrated supply chain over in China for high-tech parts & the comparatively low economies of scale here, this is almost a worst-case scenario - and the multiplier is 2.5? Surely that isn’t worth all of the deleterious consequences outsourcing has wrought.

It seems nice but I don't think it matters at this point to wave the nationalist flag when it's only a half-measure forgetting the 500 kg gorilla in the room. Where are nearly all the closed-source designs, manufacturing, and firmwares for the chips made? And, absolutely no chances of backdoors there, right?
> People will constantly be rewriting or deleting your questions or leaving unhelpful comments complaining about something silly like the formatting.

I will mercilessly soft-rewrite and spelling/formatting correct every question and answer into oblivion if I can be bothered, and find the issue annoying enough.

I treat SO like a Wikipedia of sorts, so presentation is important. Each topic will inevitably be read by a thousand other people in the future, so I might as well leave it looking presentable. It's a commons thing. "Don't leave trash behind and clean up if others didn't", basically.

Considering specifically that you mentioned Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmodernism

"Postmodernism is generally defined by an attitude of skepticism, irony, or rejection toward what it describes as the grand narratives and ideologies associated with modernism, often criticizing Enlightenment rationality and focusing on the role of ideology in maintaining political or economic power. Postmodern thinkers frequently describe knowledge claims and value systems as contingent or socially-conditioned, framing them as products of political, historical, or cultural discourses and hierarchies. Common targets of postmodern criticism include universalist ideas of objective reality, morality, truth, human nature, reason, science, language, and social progress. Accordingly, postmodern thought is broadly characterized by tendencies to self-consciousness, self-referentiality, epistemological and moral relativism, pluralism, and irreverence."

and later

"Postmodernism is an intellectual stance or mode of discourse[1][2] defined by an attitude of skepticism toward what it describes as the grand narratives and ideologies of modernism, as well as opposition to epistemic certainty and the stability of meaning.[3] It questions or criticizes viewpoints associated with Enlightenment rationality dating back to the 17th century,[4] and is characterized by irony, eclecticism, and its rejection of the "universal validity" of binary oppositions, stable identity, hierarchy, and categorization."

Actually, that's interesting in that 1. they imply that it wasn't a "made in USA" issue and that the problem was just that they were only making the Moto X there and it didn't do well in the market, and 2. "Motorola says that the Moto X smartphone will still continue to be manufactured at plants in China and Brazil." -> if they're still making stuff in Brazil, that implies that it's really not as simple as "can't make anything outside of China".
I miss that podcast. The 2 of them disagreed on some technical things, which made it more interesting. Listening to them all the way to success was pretty cool.

Is there anything else out there like it?

EDIT: People mentioning that they could remember where they were when they listened to the podcast makes me remember where I was when they had Jason Calacanis on the show who informed them that they were sitting on a gold mine.
I'm more against how oxymoronic it sounds. Many of the smartest programmers who I've worked with are on the autism spectrum, so I don't really see what the writer is lobbying against. Conflating a biological disability like autism with the choice of being lethargic or easily-impressed is just terrible writing, on an objective level. Their simile basically entirely operates on your willingness to give into bias.
or maybe warehouse space was cheaper than office space? or that the managers want easy/quick access to the warehouse to micromanage workers?
There would be less friction if say NPM and package managers like these weren't installing files in random places, assuming locations of files/binaries instead of querying, let libraries and binaries be configurable, and/or not following the XDG spec. This is probably what developers should be doing, but many can't be asked to understand Ubuntu isn't the only Linux distro.
Wikipedia's decline? It still has no viable competitor whatsoever, and certainly not one that's open for reading to all. It's not going away for a long time, and maybe not ever.
"Very rare" is, at best, a huge exaggeration. I can't post numbers, obviously, but from what I can tell based on employee available tools it's at least 25% of corporate employees. It seems rarer than it is for two reasons:

1. The company has grown rapidly, so many/most people seem fairly new. That doesn't mean that people that have been here a long time are leaving (although some obviously are).
2. The tool available to employees shows tenure of all employees, including fulfillment center workers, which are much less likely to be long-term.
JavaScript is consistently in the #1 spot on their yearly developer survey, and remains as one of the most common tags on questions, so your experience certainly doesn't translate to the average JS developer.

Yeah, that's a great way, even if you just do it to wake up to how many calories are in alcoholic drinks. I've switched to seltzer/carbonated drinks for both weekdays and weekend nights, and it's been great. Just as much fun for me to chug on friday or sip on after work without any health concerns (and a fraction of the cost)
Pfizer efficiency derived from ‘suspected but unconfirmed’ cases (February 2021)
Like the detail. I used to put a lot more effort into coffee. Then I had two kids and we were in the pandemic.

My no-effort method is to get a technivorm (not cheap, but not super expensive) and run that first thing in the morning with fresh grinds -> Super fast for 3+ people and good quality coffee. If I have the time - I'll do a pour over.
Advertising companies have a natural size limit since they generally can't work for competing companies. Agencies reach about $500M in revenue and then get sold off to a holding company. It's almost inevitable there are a whole bunch of deals.
I have been doing it for a number of years now. My limit is what I can do while maintaining great deep sleep, etc. I can occasionally push harder, but then sleep and overtraining creeps in. So, I am staying somewhere comfortably under that overtraining threshold. Even minimal alcohol consumption starts really messing things up :)
And I also wanna mention that the advertised app, SAX Video Player, is not an adult app.

Peirce also, along with Frege, independently discovered the existential and universal quantifiers, to name just one major contribution. His existential graphs[1] are extremely cool too. Peirce is grossly underappreciated largely due to the efforts of his less gifted but more politically astute childhood "friend" Simon Newcomb to obliterate his career and legacy. The Peirce gateway is full of great stuff[2][3]. This[4] is the companion paper to How To Make Our Ideas Clear.

If Amazon and Walmart warehouse workers want to form a joint union there is absolutely nothing stopping them and it'd probably be a pretty good move for worker's rights. But, while Amazon is clearly anti-union, Walmart hates them vehemently.
W3Schools is also nice because, though MDN are more comprehensive and have a higher quality appearance, their examples are more on point and they've a playground functionality where you can test any of them on an online editor with a complete code rather than just change the property on a limited demo.
Then stop acting like the government did this capriciously with no reason. The eviction moratorium was a necessary public health measure.

Now, if you want to say "well, the government should have also enacted a mortgage moratorium, and made the banks the ones who shoulder the financial burden, rather than landlords (whether individual or corporate)," I won't argue with that in the slightest. But given who "the government" was at the time, that would have been an extremely hard sell. (Even now it would be pretty difficult.)

The author summarizes their video's main points:

>(1) The proposed effects on GHG emissions if people went meatless are overblown.

>(2) The claims about livestock’s water usage are misleading.

>(3) The claims about livestock’s usage of human edible feed are overblown.

>(4) The claims about livestock’s land use are misleading.

>(5) We should be fixing food waste, not trying to cut meat out of the equation.

And comparing to retail workers at walmart also seems a bit weird?

The comparison is with Walmart warehouse workers, not retail workers. See the actual report posted by others.
One of the Jalopnik authors managed to get one of the $900 cars imported to the US and the series of articles on it are fascinating.

There are fewer moving parts in most EV designs, so my impression is that a "good supply chain" of ICE parts is still a "great supply chain" of EV parts. Most electric motors are expected to outlast the cars they are inside and rarely/never need direct maintenance. The biggest unknown in long term maintenance of EVs is batteries, and right now in general modern EV batteries are exceeding expectations which is why it is still such a long term "unknown" because overall statistically batteries are lasting 15+ years in cars and it might not be surprising if they last longer than that we're only just now getting to cars old enough to start to see real world age on the batteries.
I don't quite follow the question you're asking, but the argument I was making is one about economies of scale. Manufacturing small quantities of expensive products is comparatively easy, at the extreme end you could have a single craftsman building every phone and selling them for $5000 each. If you need to manufacture a million phones though, you're going to need more than one guy, and the facility is going to be radically different as well. The reason phones aren't manufactured in the US is not because nobody in the US knows how to make a single phone or even thousands of them, it's because factories like Foxconn which employ over a million people to churn out millions of phones and other products just do not exist, and there might not even be enough excess labor capacity to build them.
I thought HN people liked to play hard and for keeps!

First, buy a site with 14 million+ accounts, all guaranteed to be developers of some sort. It even has a job board apparently, already!

Next, bring in synergy. Mine the data to find out who does what. Make a "better linkedin".

Doh.

Gradual 5 year drop-off for effective karma might do community good. As such any post older than that would have zero effective karma, but you could still show historic karma. Maybe this would make moderation better for new users as old hostile ones lose their power if they don't keep participating in the same pit as rest new userbase...
there are a lot more random sites, so you can Google most programming issues without checking SO

That's because programming has exploded in popularity in the past decade, there's now a myriad of ways to host a blog, and a lot of people find blogging about their issues a way to solidify understanding and to help others. Doesn't mean SO is declining in quality.
I agree with everything you said, but on the flip side, I do not see provocations like the GP getting flagged, which causes the exact same decay of the community that you are trying to avoid. So in the absence of moderation on those pushing his angle, I'm not sure what we the users are left to do other than push back?

EDIT: Actually, I think this is where HN's lack of a universal downvote button is a weakness. Had that been an option, I'd have simply downvoted his provocation and moved on.
Younger hipsters. :)

I guess it makes sense considering Etsy is geared to customers like hippies, yuppies, yippies, punk bartenders, tattoo artists, bicycle mechanics, and hipsters roughly 27-50.

Expand the demos: build vs. buy. If you have the cash, buying is faster. If you don't, sweat equity build-out into adjacent categories and demos but it's slower.

Edit: Oooh, the hipsters don't like being called "hipsters." Trigg-ered. :DD That's okay, I'm half-hipster and half-yippie.

>> it's that they could get it into the country and deployed over a major air base.

Just like guns, why bother smuggling it in? It would be easier to buy/build it within the US. As for deploying it, anyone can drive a pickup to within range of a variety of US bases. These aren't remote arctic outposts surrounded by tundra. US bases are generally near civilian populations. Nobody would think twice about seeing a pickup truck parked near a base at night. Any number of aviation enthusiasts do this regularly.
> How is a “rich idiot” smart enough to build a cutting edge drone but dumb enough to accidentally fly it over an Air Force base?

I think a lot of people here are vastly overestimating what is required to build an RC plane that would outrun a typical helicopter. Most ARF (almost-ready-to-fly - just add your radio and a batter pack) electric-ducted-fan model planes in the $400-$600 range would be able to hit 150-200km/h (see https://www.motionrc.com/collections/rc-jets/products/freewi...). When you jump up to turbine power, it’s a little more expensive, but you should be able to get quite a bit faster. Head over to YouTube and you’ll see plenty of RC planes breaking the sound barrier.

Add a FPV system with a low lux camera (see https://oscarliang.com/flying-fpv-at-night/) and you could fly this around at 10:30 at night (although there are not too many sane RC pilots who would wish to do such a thing.)

This “advanced drone” could be built with entirely off the shelf components for a few grand.
They specifically gave an example of someone being born in a family where the parent has to work 2 jobs to make ends meet. How is that "doing badly in life"??? I swear we're like 2 comments away from someone seriously saying "just get richer parents, duh".

And yes, not making sure that everyone has equal opportunities(not equal outcomes!!!!) is a failing of the system.

Same as for me. I was interested in macos but 2k bucks is something that stoping me all that time :)

I bought in 2019 ThinkPad t490 (for nearly 1k $) after my Dell n5110 it's just wow. Speed, touchpad. And then two weeks ago I decided to give it a try to Macbook Air and bought minimal 8/256.

And this machine slightly (IMO something 2x in indexing my phpstorm project) faster then my t490 with i5-8265U 24/256 BUT its silent and cold and battery life. After full working 10h day I have 30-40% And I was shocked that 8 gigs is enough for me, on ThinkPad I used at least 10-12 gigs for my work.

I just bought minimum to try macos and planned to switch to 16 gig version or go back to ThinkPad, but now I can use it at least next couple of years

No regrets from switching
Thanks. This sort of stuff is why I come here :)
any opinion on pour over basket/filter types? kalita wave vs 102 vs v60?
The rules of reality apply to reality, though. It's easy for an omnipotent power to make physics do seemingly contradictory things. But pure logic is not part of reality.

You could talk about how a real-life implementation of some element of math doesn't match the logical version derived from a specific set of axioms, but there's no real-life version of surreal numbers in our universe anyway so that's basically true already.
If only that's the way it worked.

An awful lot of philosophical disputes are disagreements about the definitions of words, but neither side states their definition - they just assume their definition. The different sides then have different things that are "obviously true" (once you assume their definition of some word), and they proceed to argue back and forth, each with their assumptions, but with neither side ever stating their assumed definition. The result is a complete waste of time on all sides.

Take "do holes exist", for example. This will turn on the definition of "exist". Clearly they exist in some sense, and clearly they don't in another sense. Once you realize this is what's going on, the discussion becomes uninteresting.
Why is it surprising that socially influenced teens are speaking out in support of liberal beliefs? Are you surprised when the sun rises every morning? This has happened for decades, and it's intrinsically tied to the cycle of how politics operate. I have a much easier time believing that a bunch of k-pop fanatics were peer-pressured into virtue signalling the Democratic party than believing that NoNameBunchOfNumbers (who made their account yesterday) supports the RNC.
