Wonderful, so when the proprietor starts embezzling from the real-world operations, I’m sure you have that sorted out. Just sprinkle some blockchain on it.

Yes, most martial arts are more of cultural dance and ceremony than an actual effective fighting techniques. MMA/UFC has done more to advance the state of the art than a 1000 years of dojos ever did. From a cultural standpoint it's a shame that this martial art is lost, but I would be surprised if it had anything novel that would translate to real combat.
I had to pay a visit to my doctor roughly every 6 months to get rid of excessive ear wax. To the point where I almost stopped hearing anything on my right ear. After 30 times going to the doc, I actually bought myself this big water-shooting syringe. Its so much easier to just do it at home, and another good reason to not sit in a public waiting room during these times. I figured, if a nurse is allowed to do this, I can likely do it myself. And thats pretty much true. I wonder how many things we will find that actually dont require an expensive trained person in the medical areas. I guess there is a hidden trend to fixing things up yourself after COVID. Wonder how much money the med-bussiness is loosing now that people start to realize they dont need a doctor for every hickup.

'Build in public' forces you ship every day
Yes, Build in public can really help you and forces you to ship every day.
If I did that for plankarma.com in 2018 then the story could be different.
Right now I am hating myself for procrastination.

Please do not make the mistake that I did. Ship your project.
It's common. As soon as your project starts making money it also starts giving you anxiety and stress. Having a project that's stuck on a moderate income is a curse and you dream of getting rid of it. Been there many times and I've also closed down a lot of profitable projects even without selling them. That's how much of a burden it is. The fun part is creating something new before it starts getting paying users.
I think he meant to waffle about kimberlite pipes, diamond mines.

which 'always'? The rotten kleptocracy it appears to be right now (from my cosy European point of view)? The warring tribal zealot-ridden hellhole it was after the Soviet invasion? Or the (apparently) fast-advancing more-or-less liberal democracy it was before the Soviet invasion?

People and countries can change. And people and countries DO change. I think the lesson I've learned from my safe distance these last 20 years is that it is hard to influence the direction in which this change happens, even with the expenditure of blood and treasure. Oh, you can stir shit up, but there's no knowing how it will settle.

[incidentally, it really isn't clear to me why this sort of thing seems to have worked well for the de-nazification of Germany and pacification of Japan]
> where all coins go to miners, offer no financial reward to the coin creators. Such coins are rather rare though

Seems like that’s exactly the problem.
Why is it convenient? Why wouldn't you just put the fuel you get from the tanker into the rocket you actually want to launch and add a another stage?

What I am getting at is that there is no difference between carrying the tank with you and sending it ahead of time and meeting up in orbit. It doesn't change the rocket equation. It just splits your rocket into two rockets.
Interesting point, but I don’t agree.

To begin with, there wasn’t really anything like Rust back in 2004, so it’s a very hypothetical scenario.

And since then, the world of tech has changed a lot. So I don’t thing it’s strange that Linux has also changed. All change is not good and that applies to Linux as well.

The Linux kernel has been a sprawling project from the start. AFAICT perfection and philosophical purity was never an aim of the project. This is sometimes a liability, but it’s also one of its greatest strengths.

For contrast, compare to FreeBSD. Much more coherent and from my POV more well-designed. But the pace of development is much much slower. Many FreeBSD users seem content with that. Which is fine! You can’t be all things to all people. But the user base is also a fraction of Linux’ user base.

So the fact that Linus is open to adding another language in addition to the 50-year old C language just seems to me like a good thing that can help to modernise Linux and Unix.
Thank you. Hope there's something useful in there for you :-)

How to Create Beautiful 4 Steps Infographics – Best Software Examples
I worked on this problem for just over a decade before moving onto other things. It’s a tough problem to solve.

The biggest problem I ran into is that the largest segment of user growth were too fickle. They wanted all kinds of magic in new optional features for their personal preferences that took incredible effort. I lacked the analytics to see who used which exotic features. Most of these people just wanted a beautifier more that a diff tool and would drop you in a heartbeat for more popular tools that wouldn’t do what they wanted but were popular.

The tool I wrote did have a strong following mostly around markup language parsing that was not at all exotic but solved problems other tools refused to approach.

My guidance is don’t become a code beautifier. In the languages I was supporting during the time frame I was supporting this code beautifiers were all the rage. Nobody seemed to want a diff tool with extra capabilities. Stick to being a diff tool. The people that are intentionally looking for intelligent diff tools tend to be more engineering focused and make for a loyal audience. People looking for code vanity are just the same as window shoppers walking down a street.
Maybe you can explain more, and not just say “objectively false”?
The default processing is fairly aggressive about noise reduction, yes. Here's a comparison on the 12 Pro Max. You can see that e.g. the brickwork and the clock face are clearer in the raw file. Many photography nerds would probably be perfectly happy with the (low) level of noise in the unprocessed RAW shot, but perhaps regular people's preferences differ in this regard.

I don't think the compression is the issue here, by the way. It's just that when you don't shoot RAW you are getting the default denoising+sharpening.

LASER, back when it was still written in all caps. It was called "the most useless invention of the century" for a while, and it took close to a decade to figure a use for it.

But I think the whole discussion is missing the point. Blockchain is mostly not trying to be a solution to engineering problems, but societal, "how do we do X without a trustworthy party involved". We already know how to do any given X with someone trustworthy involved.

And, fundamentally, that's how society works, no matter how much anarchists wish it didn't. It's almost always possible to agree to some party to be in charge, making blockchain mostly pointless, no matter how much money is poured in the technical details.
Yup. There is a whole industry that is involved in copper recycling.

Copper is expensive and even scrap dealers deal with copper separately.

In India, even street pickers know the value of copper.

I can't think of any similar channels that are in English. I guess Tony is kinda unique in that way.

However, I will say that a really surprising number of the YT channels that I watch and subscribe to, that make it obvious that they too watch This Old Tony (by swiping his karate segue styles). Including one guy who's making wooden, woodworking planes by hand with limited use of electric tools.

There is no single operator. The company is decentralised with each director having the same vote. Even if an insider started embezzling funds, we would be able to see it based on the absense of proof of profit on the blockchain.

Since each person can verify the profits on-chain independently, it would raise raise flags if the amount if profits did not correspond to the expected amount of profits based on the assets which the business claims to have. All assets are disclosed publicly.
Do you have an earcamera recommendation?
Yeah, I think I agree with you there. The area for improvement for token binding or something like it is quite promising; not so for using IP signals.

I think token binding itself had some design flaws that made it hard to realize these improvements, but that's not to say that I think IP signals are better (or obviate) cryptographic replacements for bearer tokens—I don't think that. I just think it's an irony of token binding's design that the design suggested an implementation which in practice provided less value than IP binding.
I believe this is right. Also, bad companies with high attrition like eg. Amazon hire alot more (hires/FTE/year). So you have a higher chance ending up at such places then their share of all companies.

I mean, average tenure is probably the best indication of how good a employeer is (unless there are few companies at a location). I was pretty suprised to hear it was 2 years at Google.
> Or that we'll run into yet another law where you're required to pop up a banner saying "This site uses cookies, just like everyone else, lol."

Is there any such law? I always understood that to be a widespread misunderstanding. Just like the way every website pops up a dialog box asking you to approve tracking or click through some complex flow to disapprove. They aren't required to do that. But business people are trying to make regulation seem like a burden on users to discourage legislators from creating new regulations.
I hear what you are saying. However, I cant get rid of the feeling that this attitude of "everyones pain is important" actually leads to people falling in love with their various pains, instead of actually trying to fight them. Regarding depression. I had a phase of depression for several years, in addition to my disability. This gave me yet more incentive to fight the depression, because you know, being depressed and fucking blind isn't really a state you want to stay in.

I realize everyone has their own story, and things feel differently to different people. But I cant get rid of the feeling that we are breeding unhappy people because we promise them support an every level, no matter what their story might be. IOW, I am not convinced that this new type of social pampering is actually healthy to the individual.
> Lawmakers, privacy advocates, and civil rights organizations have also pushed against facial recognition because of error rates that disproportionately hurt people of color.

When I was in China, I saw how many cameras there are everywhere. And how Chinese officials pass by high-speed trains with cameras.

For Chinese citizens, the state has trained facial recognition on millions of faces. They use it to detect people passing roads in red lights (they show names and faces in big screens)

But, I wonder what is the error rates for non-Chinese. Without enough samples I can be identified as any other person similar to me in skin color. Can I mistakenly be identified as some "person of interest" for the Chinese government? That was an scary though.

I see the usefulness of this technologies, but "pro-active" policing has high rates of false positives and many innocent people will be harassed or even worse just because a machine failure. All that without taking into account when the machines are right at persecuting opositors in dictatorial regimes.

Ask HN: How's your dating experience been as a startup founder? Are you single?
My experience dating has been really interesting and varied due to the uncertain nature of working on early stage startups. For example, I'm unable to make projections about future success and promise owning a house, which has turned off a couple of potential long-term partners.

I'm curious to hear what others' experiences have been, and whether you ended up successfully finding love while still being an entrepreneur! :)

Hi,

We built Loqbooq to address some things around documentation in longer running projects. Decisions and their rationale, taken at the beginning of a project, often get lost and then discussed over and over again. Also it's hard to pivot in a project, if nobody knows why certain decisions were taken in the first place (think software design). Finally, it's always good to have buy-in from (non-technical) stakeholders.

We hope that Loqbooq can add to better documentation and decision making.
> a very odd and theoretical setup

I appreciate where you're coming from, but this particular order allows you to reuse a variable. E.g, in earlier pythons which didn't yet have ":=", the example given by the comment below yours could be written as:

Sad indeed. I think Chromium as an engine will always fail its users at some point just because of the dependence on Google. This dependence is strong even with Firefox and it probably already lead to questionable decisions.

Supported APIs are a good metric, but I really ask myself if I want new APIs, since development here is also pushed by Chrome.

You're assuming the launch vehicle can carry the weight of both the tank and the payload.

Context switching is pretty cheap, but it’s hard to beat free. Eventually the overhead of OS context switching is probably going to become non-negligible in most cases. I think up to a point the answer to when it matters is “that depends on how deep your pockets are.” You can keep scaling vertically and horizontally forever with more resources, obviously, but I don’t think it would take too long for the memory and CPU efficiency of async to start to win out, at least for runtimes with proper async.

Besides that, it’s pretty hard to decide you want to go async later on. In languages where async is not omnipresent, you usually get some form of explicit continuations; async/await sugar if you’re lucky. But you can always accidentally call something not async and hang, or just spend a lot of CPU time with no ability to preempt.

I think Erlang, Go and probably a couple of others basically stand alone in this regard; everything is just async by default. It’s a shame that it requires a decent amount of runtime baggage to accomplish this.
Precious metals and gemstones are also physical objects with strong industrial demand, that people hope will survive a civilisatory collapse; blockchain tokens can't even survive a prolonged power outage.

Artworks are desirable because they're physical objects with a limited supply that we can use to impress our peers. Memecoin #21983 can't do that.

Currencies are also backed by the physical assets of the country/countries issuing them, guaranteeing that you will find a buyer and will get value for it. Worst case, by making the country in question pull a Greece and sell you its lands. Who will give similar guarantees for memecoin #19381?
But this is a totally abstract argument. Can you point to a tangible example of blockchain being used to solve a real societal problem, in a way which is competitive with other, more conventional solutions?
You ask me who I am? I had a more complicated and fucked up life then 99% of the population, if not 99.99%. So I feel fucking qualified to tell others to get their shit together. Yes. And this nosey type of writing of yours is not going to change my mind.
The whole discussion is way too antropocentric. We are analysing what would an AI want and desire and whatnot, assuming that an AI would have wants and desires. But also ignoring that an AI could act simply out of programmed logic. One can get catastrophic results also out of (mis)programmed logic - every prorammer here can confirm. So let's not deny the catastrophic possibility only because we imagine an AI must be first a human approximation in order to take catastrophic decisions. The danger is instead when the AI can take catastrophic decision - then we can be truly effed even if it's out of a simple bug.
Once you have an async API (of any kind), and have paid the cognitive and technical price of having one, you have a lot of flexibility about what you do on the implementation side - including thousands of threads.

If you start off with a synchronous API and thousands of threads, migrating to something else later is very expensive.
I can't really comment on the quality of the code, my reason for going opnsens over pfsense is mainly because the company that owns pfsense seem to be real asshats.

So, like many of us, I did nothing, and let the virus burn itself out, which it managed to do by July 2020.

Approx 1% deaths. Which I think is acceptable, to allow 99% of the population to be able to return to a normal life so quickly.

However, I'm not sure I understand the impact of the hospitals being over capacity? Does the model factor in extra deaths of people who can't get treated for non-Covid problems?
Nope. They know where the best copper (among numerous other resources) is, but the cost to extract it is too high for political reasons. We are talking about known (already proven) resource deposits in the estimated $5-50 trillion range.
