Also with the famous 9 in 10 start-ups failing, I don't think we need an excuse for failed business attempts. Being on HN, I always assume founder -> start-up, that a lot of poorer folks are creating and running successful small businesses is a known fact. It's simply not the kind of business we talk about.
England is occupying part of Ireland. I have no personal opinion about this, or links to Ireland, but it seems pretty obvious to anyone looking at it from the outside.

3S Sensors, Signal Processing, Systems GmbH | Saarbrücken, Germany | REMOTE or ONSITE | https://3s-ing.de

3S is a small company based in Saarbrücken, Germany that develops gas measurement systems to detect tiny leaks, unpleasant odors or air pollution.

We use advanced signal processing, statistics and machine learning to extract as much useful information as possible from various data sources, such as metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors, photoionization detectors, electrochemical cells, etc.

We are looking for a senior software engineer for tools/infrastructure used to control and monitor our measurement systems.

You would be working together with an amazing team of (software, mechanical, electrical, data) engineers to design and implement new solutions for our clients from the automotive, chemical, cosmetics and wastewater treatment industries (just to name a few).

Our tech stack:

- C/C++ for low-level firmware to sample sensors and control actors in real time (usually STM32 or ESP32 targets)

- Python and Java for high-level measurement configuration, data processing and graphical user interfaces (JavaFX, PyQt)

- Java (Spring Boot) on the backend with JS/HTML/CSS on the frontend

You don't have to be an expert on all the areas mentioned above, but you should be willing to dabble in some of the ones you aren't super familiar with from time to time.

I believe that LHC has no chance ever to harvest enough energy to create a sensible-sized black hole. It’s still mc-squared (give or take an order of magnitude and my layman mistakes), so 1g BH takes about 1e14 joules or 5 minutes of average EU electricity output. Also, there is no sea nearby to cool it off afterwards. Also, a planck-sized BH weighs 1e-5 g.

A mass similar to Mount Everest[13][note 1] has a Schwarzschild radius much smaller than a nanometre.[note 2] Its average density at that size would be so high that no known mechanism could form such extremely compact objects

It seems that at energies available to us they are basically either virtual or non-existent. This contradicts the common notion that cosmic rays create microbhs occasionally, but I guess we have to wait for a physicist to clarify this.
Bezos’ step dad was Cuban so not sure about any of your other stats. His mother’s side were also wealthy landowners with a 25k acre ranch. At a (very) conservative estimate of $1k/acre that’s $25mm. To this day Bezos is one of the largest landholders in Texas.

Regardless, these are anecdotes.

When I was a kid, I thought that basic economics implied that the jobs people didn't want to do would be the ones that paid the most, and the jobs that people would do even if they didn't get paid would pay the least.

At 57, I realize that I didn't grasp the issue of the level of skill and/or education required to do a given job, and the distribution of that within the population.

It's incredible to me that NDAs with government officials are allowed. They should not be.

Spoiler: Essentially the author is talking about a custom encoding.

This is something I always try to impress to other engineers. Everything is just an encoding to binary. How we interpret it is entirely up to us. Even the fact that we choose to use 8 bits as a grouping.

Often this leads to much more efficient implementations...

Of course only do it where/when it matters.
While availability of capital is (in my experience) critical in the decision for South American startups to create a Delaware C Corp, another overlooked piece is the amount of bureaucratic hoops you’re forced to jump through elsewhere. Founders (again, my anecdotal experience) want to focus on building their business. The US system is far from perfect but it’s the most streamlined & has a clear path laid out for scaling. The US system is onerous at best but it’s one of the best relative to others.

Ultimately, if you make things harder for entrepreneurs, they will find an alternative. Atlas makes things easy & actively looks for more way to remove obstacles. It’s a no-brainer for people wanting to focus on building and not tax entity structure.

I’m not familiar with Android signature approach. But it seems a pointless change to me. Just distribute additional CAs and re-sign my application.

No, I somewhat value privacy and use burner accounts. I was probably upset I had to pay 5 different people to get my yearly dandruff medicine.

Also, I absolutely do not trust scientists (read- Humans). I trust the scientific method and finding multiple independent studies with reasonable methods and similar conclusions.

I simply took issue with you claiming there is an Art to medicine in 2021.
How do vaccines with live parasites work? Does attenuation somehow guarantee that the live parasites won't replicate to the point of becoming a full-on infection?

Can these vaccines only be used on patients with healthy immune systems, and those with weakened immune systems have the potential for cascading replication and full infections?
That's sort of Nintendo's console strategy in a nutshell. Why chase specs when you can just create the best $250 hardware you can and then make amazing games for it? Bonus, since you don't have to care much about being a port target for 3rd parties you can experiment with input methods and other innovations.
And one could argue that both are outliers.
Neither luck nor crime are mutually exclusive with hard work. Especially financial crime.

I assume Roku does not have the sufficient resources to properly equip their products with the necessary hardware to cope with their software, resulting in a compromised product that manifests as slow start times.

Unfortunately, I do not see how some of these smaller players can come close to being competitive with the big players seeing how small the profit margins are on physical devices.

Unless they have a reputation for very high quality, I assume there are lots of compromises being made on the hardware side to be able to compete on price.
.icu, .club, and a few other gTLDs can often be found for sale at $1-2/year, so they are used by entities in need of low cost disposable domains.
As someone who worked on the Metaweb/KG team during that period, it's safe to say the development of PathQuery was a direct result of the acquisition. The lack of Metaweb-linked authors relates to the fact that PathQuery sits closer to 'serving knowledge' than 'representing knowledge'. But lessons learned from the development of MQL surely made their way into PathQuery, through Warren and others.

It's called a challenge trial. It's done to compress later stages of clinical trials and only uses low risk volunteers. It's also generally only done when theres effective treatment for expected negative outcomes.
Sure, but would a stable healthy person contemplate killing themselves because of negative feedback from strangers?

Moreover, she didn't kill herself so I fail to see how being in a mental hospital for a few weeks ruins your life?

I'm not saying it's a good thing that happened to her, but I am saying that clearly it didn't ruin her life and the hyperbole demonstrated in the article is harmful to discussions about cancel culture.
That doesn't mean that it isn't bad. From the article itself:

Normal air contains just 0.04% CO2 but Pfanz was shocked to discover that the concentration around the shrine reached a staggering 80%. "Just a few minutes exposure to 10% carbon dioxide can kill you," he said, "so the levels here are really deadly."
Then consider the pattern to which I referred.
Used Atlas to incorporate and they helped correct mistakes that were made on both ends, was really nice having an actual person to talk to. Also had a deal for reduced fees which made it even sweeter. There were a few UX things that I wish were more clear initially, but they went above and beyond to fix them. Previously used LegalZoom for a 501c4 which was an experience I don't really recommend. It'd be nice to see some more options for different kinds of businesses. Kinda crazy to see how many companies they've incorporated yet still were able to offer really good support.
The thing about macros, it's not about day to day, or even month to month, macros are about year to year. Macros are what let programers expand the language in ways the designers never even considered, thus increasing the timescale over which your code is maintainable.

For a recent example of why you wish your language had macros, look at function builders in Swift. When SwiftUI was first announced its syntax was a huge wtf, only later did we find out that a new language feature was enabling this syntax.

Now imagine if somebody outside of Apple had wanted to do this and had to convince the Swift dev team to incorporate this feature...good luck.

In any given lisp, function builders are a 10 minute project to make a macro.
I just want a TV that actually responds quickly to button presses. With the latency you experience hitting the volume buttons or navigating menus on flat screen TVs, it feels like they haven't touched the hardware since 2002, and with the computing gains over those nearly 20 years you'd think a TV could at least turn instantly on and off like a desktop monitor by now.
Security vulnerabilities – how to find and fix them
> if we have strong reasons to prefer a simple text file, then we should. But by default, we should go for sqlite or something bigger.

That seems like the opposite of the YAGNI principle though.
By that logic, we shouldn't bother recalling cars either since people will just stop buying the broken ones.

> Then you should have signed up for an undercover investigator position

Why though? Is this a moral judgement against whistleblowing as a profession, or something? I expect that offering whistleblower rewards is a much more scalable and effective way to discover frauds than employing a standing army of investigators.
This seems to be the American way.
but if you're earning "a lot" in 3rd world country, then you probably have e.g skills and with skills it'll be easier for you to transfer yourself and you aren't going to start from the bottom
Ah yes, the part in my comment about dismissing matrix was in reference to the thread parent. Apologies if you thought that was directed at you.
The doing side is easy- there's endless options from off shelf templates to some generators. The problem is on the other side: if a business in 2021 still have no website, it's either they don't need it( e.g. a good builder) or they are decades behind with everything, including understanding what's the benefit of having a website.
Last time I read about this, social mobility is actually quite low right now no matter where you look.
Old school vending machines use 9 bit bytes. In case anyone was looking for a example.
Yeah, not every board with an x86 CPU is "your average x86 PC".

The Data: European vs. US VCs
I am talking about the people at the top. They are making calculated bets with their criminality (and look, it keeps working out really well).

Will we be able to replace imprisoned CEOs who knowingly and intentionally perpetrated crimes? I think so. Silicon Valley CEOs are much more replaceable than some would have you believe.
Even today Norman surnames (compared to Anglo-Saxon/Celtic) are massively overrepresented in the wealthy in the UK, from an event that happened nearly a thousand years ago. Individuals might rise and fall through social/economic classes, but families as a whole are pretty sticky.
Feels like I’m an adult arguing with a pre-teen here. The way business was done, first wasn’t the only way business was done, but it wasn’t uncommon either. It still occurs to some degree. Why do you think strip clubs are open for lunch? Second, it’s common knowledge documented throughout pop culture and I’ve spoken boomers and older that remember it well. You might be shocked to know that women weren’t a part of the workforce until this time as well. What do you think happens when it’s all men doing business with all men? The machismo exudes.

Literal quote yes, but it shouldn’t be your literal interpretation because not every statement is literal. If I said my commute today took “forever” how do you interpret that? Am I still commuting? Is that my eternal punishment?

So we’ve established your ok with sex work. Which in gates example was done correctly. He went to professionals and paid them. If you agree with the work, you have to agree with the acts of the clients. So, I guess you just think it’s a horrible thing that he knew it would cause embarrassment and wanted to keep it out of the media. That’s what most people do. Have you ever heard someone tell there mom, I’m going to the prostitute but I’ll call you when I’m done? No that’s embarrassing. People hide their embarrassments but that’s not wrong in of itself.

Kevin spacey was meant to be an extreme example. Yet you agree his work was good. My “ his body of work is still excellent” comment was not glorifying him, you’re really bad at this. Let me say another way, if my dry cleaner turns out to be a serial killer, well he is still the best dry cleaner I’ve ever had.
The exception that proves the rule
Do you consider the following claims to be equivalent then?

"author chooses not to publish more stories following criticism"

Remote Work vs. the Office: What’s Best for Your Startup?
Mainly after. Metaweb brought MQL with them, which ran on their own single server graphd, which was eventually shutdown.

Warren started working on PathQuery as a replacement for MQL. PathQuery was originally executed on Pregel and was far from a realtime query language.

A realtime query engine was later developed for PathQuery in the search stack so interesting search queries could be answered a la minute from the Knowledge Graph, rather than just pre-generating results for a limited class of queries.

This was all done in the 2012-2013 timeframe. Most of the people involved are long gone.

Capitalists vastly overestimate the mobility of labor. Maybe she has reasons keeping her there that are none of your business. The "just move" or "just get a better job" refrain is hopelessly ignorant.
