"The Mountain View-based startup accelerator"

Is YC still based in Mountain View or have they officially migrated to SF?
> "Seems like there are managing their opex fairly well."

Are they?

They signed a $45M TCV (which equates to $1.25M per month). In a span of 14 months (Oct'19 - Dec'20) they spent $28M ($45M - $17M remaining), which equates to $2M/month in AWS spend.
Thx. I am aware of chromeos using linux.

But it is very strongly modified and reshaped and is still no open system I can control or own. But it works. With standby times for example, my 100% linux laptops could not even dream about (and that is, with all the quirks and optimisations hacked into them) as they are worlds apart.

(standbydrain is something like from 100% to 0% battery in 2 days on full linux and over 4 weeks with chromeOS.
My windows laptop lasts at least twice the time under windows, compared to linux. With more power.

Mainly because of good and bad drivers.
thanks! an update would be much appreciated when you get it
I own several domains, and I have two valid email addresses at two personal domains hosted with a small US hosting provider, but I don't want those to end up in spammer lists so I use them sparingly. For a main email address I'm better off with a large email-focused provider that has tools to handle all the spam that builds up from an address used for online purchases and forum/social accounts, and as I mentioned Fastmail has the absolute best tools for managing all of that. Gmail is not an option, nor Microsoft.
This is just for elected officials or for any government employee? Or is it also open to staff, faculty and students at any US postsecondary institution?
But I do. I use only Linux on all my computers except a dedicated Mac Mini used for music production.
For graphics, the 5500U has 7 CUs at 1800 MHz. The 5700U has 8 CUs at 1900 MHz. They're both ancient Vega APUs so they're really nothing special.

Officials being democratically elected does not necessarily mean anything - in theory, a majority of the population could vote to literally enslave a minority of the population. I think that it is fair for a minority of the population to have some threshold beyond which they are willing to use force if necessary even if by doing so they are going against the wishes of the majority.
Most of the early Federalist papers deal with this problem of democracy in very damning terms. It leads to failures of the state -- usually within a hundred or so years. That is why the US decided to be a Republic instead.

Outside the US, countries after WW1/2 opted for democracies instead of republics with strong foundations. We're witnessing the point of failure due to the exact issues outlined in those papers.
I am fairly sure you are incorrect.

But TPM information and documentation are unfortunately almost always behind a NDA. It makes pointing to definitive information difficult.
How can that be possible when we only had like a few hundred in checks, or some few hundred in additional unemployment for people who were unemployed?

My grandma used them for years. Hers weren't electric though, she had to put them on the wood stove to heat. The wood stove was next to her sewing machine, while the electric iron was in a different room, so it was a lot faster for her to pick up the iron than use the electric one. They didn't have automatic steam, but otherwise worked just as well.
We're not the military. Employers are an exploiting class. Workers must fight for every avenue to organize and overthrow the exploiting class to create a democratic and equitable society.

In 1917, the military had soldiers councils, turned against the Tsarist regime and helped overthrow it with the help of armed workers. We're so far from anything like that, we're arguing over whether workers should be able to slack each other lol.
> They wouldn't be considered "controversial" in a modern field, people would just rightly be skeptical until the research bore fruit.

This is a hypothetical that is obviously impossible to disprove, but I fucking doubt it.

Science, including in the hard sciences, is rife with personal animus, envy, and rivalries. Scientists are not dispassionate logic machines who simply maintain a healthy skepticism until the research bears fruit. Many of them will viciously attack your research, you, and the institutions that support you if they feel threatened by your ideas, and they are not above lying and cheating to get their way.

As the pithy saying goes, science progresses one funeral at a time. Max Planck--a man who knew a thing or two about advocating controversial ideas--put it slightly more kindly [1]:

> A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. . . . An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth.

May not be related but I recently had an incident where we finally started opening up our beta and got a few signups. That day coincidentally we started getting a mismatch nonce error from Auth0 which prevented people from logging in. I assume I must have done something to break it but could not figure out what. So I ended up taking most of the night making an independent authentication system using an existing module I made before.

Their support first replied by saying that no, it wasn't a priority because of my lack of support plan or something. The next sentence was about how they could not do anything until I generated a custom log file.

Just didn't seem worth it anymore for what we actually need.
Wow this is a fantastic point. Unions in the US are always on the defensive.
BTW, you are shadow-banned.
A piano is particularly easy to tell if it is out of tune because most notes have multiple strings. They beat against each other horrendously when one of the strings is at a different frequency than the other. If all the strings for a single note were out of tune by the same amount most people would think the piano was fine.

Can most people tell when a guitar is out of tune? A guitar so badly out of tune it plays different notes is recognizable by almost everyone, but a guitar only a little out of tune would not be noticed by most, IME.

I can understand being in the opposite position for everything (I have plenty of complaints about Windows issues), except for the games. What games do you play that are inconvenient or impossible to play on Windows but not Linux? If I had to guess, it would be emulated games, but that's the best guess I can give.
You (and the sibling comment) are right, GTK is not Gnome. Gnome does host some apps that I do use though, such as gnome-calendar, contacts, geary, maps, password-safe, and more. Some overflow, but they're the most usable currently (though I haven't given KDE a fair try recently)
Combined with the higher education levels of the childless older adults, that’s even more surprising at first glance.

But after a bit more thought, having someone 20-40 years younger than you who feels a strong obligation to you when you’re not quite as sharp as you used to be could make a lot of difference in your finances.
I can't tell if you're arguing for or against barrel distortion to improve accuracy, but both exist in either case [1,2].

Our attention and peripheral vision come into play also in how we consume a photograph. You will employ your peripheral vision less when you view images on your phone compared to a wall-sized print. Additionally, the longer the focal length, the more prescriptive the effect; the photographer and photograph are telling you what to look at. Wide lenses invite the photographer to work with juxtaposition and layering, and the viewer to selectively attend to different elements, which is actually in agreement with your closer-to-experience angle, i.e. the viewer must decide where to focus their cone of attention in a wide-angle photograph, just like they would in real life.

Again, I am not dealing with an absolute capital-T True representation of human vision. We are constrained to modern optical formulae and 2D mediums of commercially available photographic equipment. You could snowball this all the way into stereoscopic 3D fisheye videos livestreamed from eyewear, to get even closer to True human vision.

I still maintain that wide lenses are so useful and popular for documentary and snapshot purposes because they record more of the elements we once and will attend to; a more convincing simulacrum. It's no coincidence that 35mm and 28mm and wider are used by so many photojournalists and street/documentary photographers, often exclusively in the latter case.

Interesting, but something about this article is weird. Overall it doesn't feel like it's in the Wikipedia style and some parts are very editorialized, e.g.

> As extreme ironing has branched off, the conditions can gain in extreme activity. For example, a branch of ironing has been developed that includes both bungee jumping and well-pressed clothing. Bungee ironing is what some would call the ultimate in the thrill of extreme ironing.[8]

That citation leads to https://averyj12.weebly.com/extreme-ironing.html, which was clearly copied wholesale from Wikipedia (all its links and citations go directly back to Wikipedia).

Looking at the history, there have been a lot of edits since that text was added in 2007, so it's surprising that someone hasn't rewritten it since then.

Is it that hard to figure out? Choosing a name like that, on purpose, obviously connotes a certain innate disrespect for the judicial process.

That kind of obvious, blatant disrespect would not be tolerated in a traditional court proceeding. And it shouldn't be tolerated in an online proceeding, either.
> I did get the old no benchmarking clause removed, I don't know why we had that there

Your company is probably not going to fare well in this thread, but thanks for this! No benchmarking clauses are gross. Glad to see someone with the means to remove one do so.
You're going to have photographers arguing that this is merely depth of field, and for it to be called bokeh you need light sources/reflections to bloom in the shape of the aperture. Which would be a super cool feature.

I used to use keypad all the time so when I got first laptop for work having one was my preference. I regretted that decision as the keyboard was more narrow than it otherwise needed to be.

On a side note, I love the CM Storm Quick Fire TK keyboard I have with brown switches. It has no arrow/home vertical area, instead when you turn the numpad off the keys act like that slice. I wish more keyboards were like it. Not sure why they aren't.
Small Developers Take a Win
Well, (it's been a while so this might be really false now) Linux might have not-so-great support for HiDPI screens.

Either way, I can't really see the difference between 1080p and 4K, so it wouldn't matter for me.
Not being allowed to mutiny in the navy is related to the whole violence thing. It’s also the case that people in the navy can’t just quit when they want to. I don’t think you want those kind of rules applying to most workplaces. Talking about pay equity is a good thing to be encouraged.
If you're seeing organization as "mutiny" then you're going to be able to justify anything the employer does to the employee.
I sincerely think Covid is now just being used to decrease carbon emissions by having everyone work from home or at least not exit houses as much due to mass hysteria of "yet another variant". Viruses of all kinds will keep trying to kill us regardless if we call it the flu or covid, if we keep everyone scared to exit their houses they will invariably use less resources from the world.

So yeah, a world free of covid isn't on anyone's best interest.

The whole reason this (and Docker Desktop) are used is that Docker and K8s does not run natively on macOS and Windows.

If you’re using Linux already, most of this stuff is as useful as nipples on a breastplate. You could theoretically run an emptied out husk of the app on Linux, but there are much better tools for working with the tools directly.

So I’d be greatly surprised if any Linux kernel hackers are miffed about this.
It's like no one here has used a MacBook before. They've been putting 2560 by 1600 displays in 13" MacBooks for what, a decade now?
Very distinguishable after daily use of a MacBook Pro.
It possibly does stop things from getting worse, but it is hard to know whether it does or it does not because there is no way to make a copy of the United States, remove private gun ownership in the copy, and then see how things play out.
I promise you, Australians and Kiwis don't need advice from Americans on how to keep citizens safe.

Sounds like a business opportunity
I have a 4k x1 Carbon and I can confirm that it's dumb. I would prefer the battery life but also the iGPU isn't powerful enough to run an external monitor while the display is using 4k so I have to scale it down for that anyway.
Ugh, better late than never i guess...

>> If you or he still has his notes, would you be able to ZIP them up and upload them to archive.org?

Not sure why, we were the only 2 people on earth to ever use that. To summarize, he used single letters for verbs and then single letters for register names: a, b,c, d,e, h,l for the 8-bit registers and x,y,z for the 16 bit pairs (b,c) (d,e) (h,l). It turns out you could always figure out some implied stuff. MAY was move a to y, but since A is 8 bits and Y is 16 this meant Y was an address, whereas MAD would be move A to D as an 8 bit register-to-register copy. This lead to all mnemonics being 3 characters or less. There could also be 8 or 16 bit immediate values. The disassembler used a 4 byte decode table - 3 characters and a size (0,1,2) of the immediate data. It was super clean. I'll post is somewhere some day. I still have my Interact computer in its original box waiting to find a nice museum somewhere. And lots of tapes including a bunch of little kid created basic programs. Hard copies of all the "Interaction" newsletters from the local users group too.
Can we change the URL of this post to a more normal news website?

The current one is a blog post from an email provider company, not a journalistic entity.

It has unnecessary hyperbole ("End of Human Rights"), and has a clear conflict of interest given that they provide secure email services and one of their main competitors (FastMail) is Australian. (though I do share their concerns)

I find @jpollock's links a good replacement.
Or you could spend a few seconds Googling your coworkers and then you can send them a message on LinkedIn or Facebook, or if you're lucky they'll have their email address somewhere..

And then once you've told a couple people, the link can be spread word of mouth.

It's actually easier today than it was when you had to physically go to someone's house to talk to colleagues out of band of your employer.
I'm of two minds on this. On the one hand, talking about pay is often counterproductive, as you never see the blood sweat and tears that went into someone's pay, you only see the end result and it seems "unfair". On the other hand, at Google, there's a gigantic spreadsheet where people share their comp, and it helped dispel some narratives like "women in the same positions are paid less" to some extent. It's not the same when the company itself shares the stats - you always know there are a million ways to lie with statistics. So there are positives and negatives to this.

Were it up to me, I'd ban all such discussion. By all reasonable measures, FANG employees are paid more than enough. Focus on work, not on someone else's wallet. But it's not up to me, for better or worse.
That depends on how many frogs contentedly stay in the pot.
You really don’t have to ask, because what I personally would it wouldn’t do in various situations has nothing to do with what’s an appropriate response for someone who’s job it is to impartially evaluate evidence.

Even if the defendant literally did spit in the face of the judge, a good judge should not react in a way that would give anyone reason to think they let that affect their ruling.
The winner of globalization was the US though
There are two issues at play here.

First, with regards to the App store or Music store, Apple is the Market maker. It controls who gets to sell Apps on their market similar to how NASDAQ or the NY Stock Exchange controls which stocks are listed. Korea is saying Apple you already control the market, but you shouldn't dictate the payment systems too. I expect Apple will start raising the fees it charges to list Apps on their App store.

Second, this article is about South Korea. South Korea doesn't care about the historical context of the US. Korea is saying if the Apple App store want access to South Korean customers, you must play by our rules. This is not unlike the European Union saying if you want to store data about EU citizens, then you must comply with GDPR.

For the past few decades, we had assumed there was a monolithic global market for software apps. We are seeing now the fragmentation of the internet and the software market as countries assert their power over big tech.
Jonathan Blow – “the game industry's most cereal developer” on games and design
The only thing you’re saying here is that you don’t recognize its value and you don’t want to pay for it. No, wait, you don’t want businesses—fully capable organizations who can pay—to pay for it.

You should be ashamed.

There’s nothing random about it. A tech business is finally realizing giving products away for free isn’t a business. What a surprise.

> Now that they have the huge user base, they're in a good position to dictate terms in their favour whether we like it or not.

No one is forcing you to use docker. Grow up.

Better yet, you try building a product, giving it away to choosing beggar developers, and figure out how to run a business where you pay six-figure engineering salaries to qualified employees off the cash flow of “donations.” What a joke.
I don't think about it much, because I can't install extensions or themes to it. Meanwhile, Obsidian Notes has no problem letting me do anything I want for free, which makes it a better self-hosted notes client for my use-case.
Hard disagree. On a 15.6" 1080p really is sufficient. The upsides of not wasting battery and just performance of not having to push more pixels makes it worth it. Even gaming channels like LTT talk about this a bit.

That being said - if you're coming from the macbooks retina it's definitely a downgrade. My guess however is that this device won't have a screen that is that good either way though.

Crime rates have been going down for decades in the Western world (including Oz). Yet governments continue to pass surveillance laws to “fight crime.”

i'd say that humanity is the least tightly coupled organism when it comes to survivability. when our ecosystem changes we are able to adapt better than any other organism.
Vs a single tag to embed a model.

3D models are complicated. If the <model> element is complex enough to support anything the user decides to embed then it'll put a huge burden on browser developers. That's fine for Apple and Google, but it'd be another nail in Firefox's coffin. On the other hand, if the element only supports (say) the gltf spec then it won't be a simple case of adding a model for a non-technical user. They'd need to export or convert their model, textures, shaders, animations, etc.

3D support is probably an order of magnitude harder than video. And video is hard enough.
I did mention Paul Lafague's The Right to be Lazy at the end of the comment you replied to though. ;)
We should have slammed the international borders shut at the first sign of it, and placed any region with outbreaks into the strictest lockdown we could humanely devise. Lesson learned for next time. Too late for that for most of the world. Now we have to learn to live with it somehow.

But it worked for New Zealand. They're in a very odd position now. Domestically as long as they can keep it out, they could go completely back to normal. Except for international travel. (It's been mostly normal most of the time aside from that, from what I understand.)
The child poverty rate increased by 10%. I would say that an increase of children living in inhumane conditions is more than an inconvenience.

It is the same in France, but they are still powerless because they are not present on the company's board unlike Germany.

In France it is only the government owned companies who can strike, strikes in private companies are rare. It only happens when they are all fired, but it is too late..
Your overstimate what we protest for and the effectiveness of it.

Also protests have been heavily repressed during Macron, it's becoming scary to actually go sometimes.
In some cases, it probably is a deterrent. It is hard to know for sure because there is no way to A/B test a country. I think that some people probably overestimate the degree to which it is a deterrent, but I think it would certainly be wrong to say that it is not a deterrent at all. In some situations it can probably be a very effective deterrent.
