The DoE investigated this exact thing. I happened across the papers while browsing microfiche. It makes the most sense to serve a neighborhood off small house/shed sized generating facility. As you scale up you can switch to normal turbine operation, as you scale down you move back to thermoelectric operation. Single houses could be powered from thermoelectric piles but this would probably have been reserved for expensive, remote vacation homes.

Closer to battery sized, you can layer radioactive material against quantum dots that turn alpha particles into photons and emit those photons directly onto a PV cell.

Couldn't they use shorter wavelengths of light than the visible spectrum to resolve more detail? Like low-energy x-rays or something.
Ask HN: Entrepreneurs, should I start a business?
I grew up poor in SE Asian country. I lived in the US for 5 years and got job at top FAANG company. I have around 150k in savings which is fairly low compared to people at my age of 32.
Pandemic required me to move back to the home country. I don’t have PR card and long GC wait times also does not play in my favor.
I have been thinking of starting a business in software. I do have an option of coming back on visa next year.
On one side, I will have guaranteed income from job, but no freedom to do anything else. Every two year I will have change to keep up this market. Job search and job change is extremely dreadful though and I don’t like the process of interviewing.

While starting a business is a choice, I will not guaranteed income. I am positive though if I do it full time, I will get some output. It could be software services or product business. But, since we didn’t have a lot of money growing up, I don’t like the idea of not having an income.

Speaking of competition, people of my age will earn at least 1 million in FaanG jobs in next 5 years. So if business doesn’t do well, I will have more years to work. I am 32 though, so technically still have time.

What are your thoughts on starting a business?
One thing to add is that you can push air down in numerous ways but some ways are less efficient.

So an 45degree angled blade absolutely will give you lift but a tapered aerofoil will do the same with less energy spent pushing the air in unwanted directions (specifically fewer swirling vortexes immediately behind the wing causing drag).

So yes push air down to stay up. Don't push air sideways or in circles. The aerofoil shape and the equations that simplify the 'don't push air the wrong way' into a simple term of drag are all about doing this.

Hi again. Thanks for your reply and explaining a little more about ideas for virtualisation. I am quickly getting out of my depth but at least now have an idea of possible directions to research and learn.

I also read the 1 line change fix for the Windows driver in a forum. Infuriating. It seems a stone cold profit / loss decision to brick the device when it would have been so easy to ship an updated driver.

But I also think that it shows a lack of imagination: if it's just about profit, Roland should let their customers pay for new drivers. Drivers can be an income stream, too, and after so many years of use, paying for an upgraded driver is not an unreasonable request.

Unfortunately at the time I bought this device, I was not wise enough to save and buy a device by a more conscientious company like RME.

I have contacted one of the more experienced developers at Roland to see if they might be willing to unofficially guide an effort to update the driver. That would definitely streamline the process.

Thanks also for the point about class-compliant mode at 16/44k. It is a good point and would give use of the analogue limiter. Although I am really trying to work with higher resolutions and not having use of the midi port is also a bit of a pain.

I agree the idea of a kickstarter for this device is worth testing.

Taking a step back, I also wonder whether a group of developers specialising in coding drivers for a whole range of unsupported audio interfaces could make decent money from grateful producers via patreon / kickstarter. That is if they weren't flooded with cease and desist orders.
They wouldn't need to bury that in the TOS; they'd make it a feature: "Our innovative pay-to-snooze feature helps you get up earlier by penalizing you for hitting the snooze button"
With few exceptions, houses are a depreciating asset just about everywhere; it's only land that appreciates. Japan is no different except that the depreciation rate of the house may be somewhat faster, and appreciation of the land significantly slower than in other countries.
You do not need many friends in life: one or two is just great. I hope this is your case. If not you should contact an acquaintance, supposedly someone you met during your studies. It seems they are not too far behind for you. Propose to meet for doing anything that is permitted where you live in these pandemic times. Do not put yourself in a situation where you'd feel too uncomfortable, but definitely this requires an explicit effort. I am pretty sure you can think of someone you met in college with the same mindset as you, who hopefully is not too far from where you leave.

If you need to met new people, because you are in a place where you do not know anybody, I would suggest taking part to an art club - pick whatever art. People there tend to be more inclusive than say in a sport club. You'll find they think completely differently than you.

As for social media and online news, you are well aware they are very bad for the mood. As for sex, it is complicated for everyone. Those who have a lot of it aren't necessarily much happier or satisfied.

If my example may help you: I never had many friends (not even talking of girlfriends). I married at 30-something the sister of a friend I met in college. We are not on social media, we are only moderately social in real life, we do not travel, we often laugh. I am happy as much as I could be.
>What can't be ignored is the level of racism groups are subjected to: it seems obvious to say that people will integrate better if they have people willing to integrate with them. I suspect this is far more often the problem.

I disagree. In Britain you have three groups from the Indian subcontinent:

* Indian Hindus

* Indian Sikhs

* Indian and Pakistani Muslims

Sikhs and Hindus have been very successful; they are more likely than the average to be part of the British middle class (<http://www.theguardian.com/money/2010/dec/14/middle-britain-...>). Muslims are, by contrast, worse than average in every single social measure despite being, racially speaking, indistinguishable from the other two groups to any outsider (since none knows, or cares, about the myriad of caste differences); they are all "Asians" in Britain.

Indian Sikhs and Hindus are willing to assimilate. Indian and Pakistani Muslims, far less so.
The concepts in the article sound foreign to me - they are, since I live in the EU. In Central European countries, most houses are built to last 80-150+ years. People like to use bricks, aerated concrete or specially treated wood that will last for a very long time. There are other systems too, like walls filled with small clay pellets mixed with concrete. Houses built in such a way are quite expensive, usually €300k or more for a typical family home where I live. That leaves some room for prefab (Fertigteilhaus) to be cheaper, contrary to what OP wrote.

There are small model cities you can visit where several dozen prefabbers exhibit their current model homes, and if you stick to their plan, you will usually pay less than building on your own. Those are often built on wood frames, but are still quite sturdy and supposed to last at least 100 years. Others are built with bricks or aerated concrete just like individually built homes. Savings are probably achieved by bulk orders, prefab, and a well coordinated team who has built the exact same house ten times already.

Show HN: Pixie – A full-featured 2D graphics library for Nim
>If you're going to reply, please explain why an organization that Bjarne Stroustrup is a director of believes that C++ supports dynamic dispatch.

Because the meaning of "dynamic" is ambigous!

Since you are pointing me to wikipedia I'll point you right back...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_method_table#Compariso...

"Virtual method tables also only work if dispatching is constrained to a known set of methods, so they can be placed in a simple array built at compile time."

If the vtable is generated at compile and is constrained to a known set of methods then that array is immutable! Calling that "dynamic" is an obvious misnomer!

You are neither charitable nor patient. You are committing the bandwagon fallacy as we speak. You and the other 120 (and counting) angry downvoters ;)

I am using the word "dynamic" to actually mean dynamic!
I am not going to define it. Use your judgment. Dynamic is NOT static.
I am not asking you to "educate me", or to tell me I am right; or wrong.

Detection is certainly the harder part - but the rest of it is pretty well-trodden ground. Some POWER9 users noticed that linux was under-reporting their core count and further investigation showed that the CPU's RAS had identified some cores that were acting a little funky - so it automatically dropped them into a guard partition and logged the action in the persistent circular buffer that nobody had bothered writing open source code to watch. Of course IBM had already written a ton of software that had it covered in AIX. I've noticed the same thing on a lot of other platforms, I'm looking at an HP MicroServer right now that has low level hardware error logging that never makes it past the bios firmware - and I've been meaning to fix that for about two years now. It might be a good idea to tackle that issue before we start getting too clever with solutions.

My 1930s UK house is foot-thick stone and brick on all walls, even internal. It doesn't have insulation except in the attic because it's one absolutely massive heat-sink mass - by the time it's warmed up from the summer it's already autumn and then it starts emitting the heat usefully instead.

That's the way to build, in my opinion.
Balloon framing has been gone for nearly a century, which implies no firestops between floors.

Stick built framing is the follow on, also called plate building, the plates constituting inter-floor fire stops.
It’s indeed much easier to reduce waste in a factory when the production line can optimize for reducing waste.

It’s a delicate problem though. I have recently implemented such an optimization for wall panel production lines and it’s not so easy for the operators cutting sheets of material to keep too many leftover bits for the following wall panel being built, and the order of the panels built can be dictated by a specific loading order on the delivery truck so can’t be reordered to reduce waste.

Working on various bin-packing and cutting stock problems is an interesting challenge!

I think this would be a great time for Apple to release an actual TV. I know of no major TV brand that doesn't employ some kind of tracking or advertisement. Even LG has devolved into that pit.
As far as I understand Googles Play Store comes with a viral license that forces preferential treatment for Google services on all Android devices made by a manufacturer unless they are sold in a country where that kind of anti competitive behavior is not tolerated. Basically Sonys choice is let Google rape its customers or kill all its Android based products over night.
But what language constructs are the most universally efficient at expressing the distribution of that ownership responsibility in a way that everyone can both understand and agree upon?

Or maybe just the soothing chaos of an evolving bio-electro-mechanical planetary supersystem of expanding consciousness.

I assume by "Pacific Green" you mean the Pacific Green Party of Oregon. A quote from the party platform:

Before getting too excited, let's not forget the stories where gene therapy went horribly wrong.

As exciting as it is, I really would like to see . . . people take a very measured and responsible path forward, where there’s careful vetting along the way,” she said. “Of course, the challenge is that patients are waiting, so you don’t want to delay unduly. But you also want to be safe.”
Both the leak of the DNC files, and the purported leak of files by a Putin critic, were found to contain numerous forged documents. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2017/05/26/russi...)

In a heinous followup, Assange claimed that a murdered DNC staffer was the party responsible for the DNC leak...based on no evidence except Assange's bro-love for Donald Trump. (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/wikileak...)

But sure, let's pretend that nothing Wikileaks has posted has ever been shown to be fake or falsified, or that Assange himself has never lied.
I recently watched the two videos on this (that I'm aware of) and it's the first time gene therapy didn't strike me as macabre Frankensteinian experiments on vulnerable people who will say "yes" to all kinds of crazy stuff out of desperation.

Cystic fibrosis significantly impacts gut function and many people with it do poorly with dairy products. I could see this and/or some variation of this being valuable therapy for the CF community while we wait for better answers.

Although best known as a deadly lung disorder, the impact on gut function is a major problem that just gets less press but is something people with CF and their loved ones fret about a whole lot. I think if you could do something to improve gut function fairly quickly and semi permanently, you would likely reduce a lot of their other issues as well because people with CF are typically underweight, sometimes severely underweight, and their chronic malnourishment is a major underlying source of their inability to fight off infection.

In has been popular in the whole former USSR. But for some reason in past it was not considered as a suitable material for houses, only for storage facilities etc. But it could be just a cultural perception.

For example, my father built a temporary house from it in Belarus in 1980s while waiting for the main house construction that was using ordinary bricks. I remember as a child that building from aerated concrete was indeed very quick affair.

I tried to price them out. They definitely save on labor but they are not particularly cheap. Depending on area your codes may not permit them and/or your local PEs may not want to sign off on them, even though they're fine. (This usually comes about by the local codes only assuming a finite set of valid structures, and some structure you wish to build not neatly fitting into those classifications.)

They could nebulously reduce "waste" but with how much more you're paying for them, it seems economically unviable to use them. In the sense that money is a signal, the waste is still there, you're just not seeing it and being put at an economic disadvantage for paying more.

> It's incredibly popular to hate "trailer homes" - which tells me that most people's vision of them is a 1970s single wide, 50 years of limited maintenance later. Modern manufactured homes have nearly nothing to do with that

How do you actually find these? How can you tell the difference?

Every 1970's-era trailer house manufacturer has rebranded themselves as "Modular, not Mobile". For non-experts, it's hard to tell the difference, which might be why everyone lumps them all together.

I would love to buy a well-designed actually-good factory-standardized home. Every thing I've seen that claims such, is just a rebranded trailer house.
Oh yeah, definitely take home. After we’ve made it pretty far so that the candidate doesn’t feel like we’re just asking them to do an exercise as a form of screening.

I also try to frame it as the exercise is instead of two more interviews where people would ask the same questions, and tell them not to spend more than a couple hours, although there’s no time limit.

Trying to be really conscious of all the limitations and asks of “take home work” for an interview. I will say, especially as they get more senior, I tell them to make assumptions and document the assumptions they made. It’s part of the job (making good assumptions and communicating them to everyone) and I think it fits well into the framework of a take home product strategy exercise.
I have worked in marketing on both the agency and the client side.

This is absolutely something you can do. Freelancers are out there and so are agencies. Agencies are expensive and, in my opinion, are best for specific campaigns, not for long term management of all of your marketing efforts.

You need to find a business partner that knows marketing and that you can trust. They should ask lots of good question about your product and they should clearly be able to explain to you the why and how of what they are doing. If they can’t or you feel like you don’t understand what they are saying, they are probably not a good fit for you.
