Sounds like you want a modern equivalent of one of the old Auspex/NetApp servers that used distributed RAID HDDs for the the head of every file, backed by optical disk robots for the rest, so for large files, you get a nice cross of the performance of HDD with the cost of optical.

Also, no one here has mentioned Duplicati yet (https://duplicati.com). I switched last year, and it's flat wonderful.

The versioning and backups just work, it's free and open source, runs on pretty much everything, has good encryption baked in, and supports a really broad array of backend storage protocols for both cloud and local. Oh, and it comes with a pretty decent scheduler and a web-based GUI interface.

Quite honestly, the best piece of OSS I've adopted in the past two years. I no longer pay for any backup software (just S3/Wasabi storage), and I no longer have to do any integration or management of the moving parts - it just works. I like that, as I no longer have the patience for crappy software now that we're two decades into the 21st century.
Why doesn’t natural immunity count in the US?
I agree in general, but it really depends. The iPad port of Clip Studio for example is literally, 100% the desktop version. I mean exactly, it has the top bar menu (file/edit etc) and everything.

Most of the other painting applications like Procreate have no real desktop equivalent either. From an art perspective, the iPad is at or ahead of the desktop experience. There are digital artists right now who have had 100% of their career on an iPad.
Let’s say it costs 5 billion to design a car (it goes as high as 6 billion) and another 2-3 billion to create all the molds and custom tooling and change over a factory. If you sell 10 million cars, that overhead costs $800 per car. If you sell only 1 million, that’s $8,000 per car. Some sports cars sell even fewer units than that. This is the biggest reason prices are higher.
Reading the stories week in and week out, we think you can get better, too.

And that exception doesn't really apply anymore: I'm pretty sure the new Dooms have commercial middleware like anything else, and they're no longer open-sourcing them. They haven't even commercially licensed out the engine to anybody in forever.

In fairness to the size thing, until last year I was still using the older se and had that form factor since my first smart phone, the iPhone 4.

When I got the 4 it was great. By the time I finally changed the form factor last October, the world had changed and by that I mean much of the web was unusable due to the screen size and how no one optimized for non-phablets.

What’s perfect one year may not be perfect the next because things change. Accounting for an allowance of standard marketing hyperbole on top of that, i don’t see anything particularly wrong with that one claim.
It's happening around me (Oxfordshire), there is a lot of new housing and it's mostly on farmland.
Despite the 30% commission for apps, it's an incredibly vibrant ecosystem. So much new and interesting software appears on iOS and (to a lesser extent) macOS.

It seems like the more free the platform is, the less interesting it is for users. I'm thinking about iOS, Windows, macOS, Android, game consoles, Linux, and the web.
The side bezels on the previous gen were too small IMHO. I ended up putting mine in a case that added a grip on the left hand side. While the device has decent palm rejection, it's never perfect and I find it disconcerting when the only way to hold it from an edge is to cover a portion of the screen. I think it makes sense to make the side bezels slightly larger, though I agree that the proportions of the device are slightly less appealing as a result.
That distinction isn't as important for evaluating vaccine efficacy. It wants to measure if the person was infected, not if the person is infectious.
A few years ago, HN comments complained about the censorship that only leaves successful studies. We need to report on everything we've tried, so we don't walk around on donuts.

What's missing in my mind is admitting that results were negative. I'm reading up on financial literacy, and many studies end with some metrics being "great" at p 5%, but then some other metrics are also "great" at p 10%, without the author ever explaining what they would have classified as bad. They're just reported without explanation of what significance they would expect (in their field).
And each release is "our best camera yet" or "fastest processor yet" or "best battery yet". I mean, yeah, you're probably not going to release an update that has worse performance.

Apple is the master at emphasizing things like this.

Apple has been doing it forever. Right from the start.

It is this marketing prowess that has made it what it is.
Sure, but they don't do that with their phones, and like hell I'm carrying this thing around without a case (which is also why they don't bother to make their iPhones so they're easy to use caseless, or make them so the backs are flat without a case—everyone uses a case unless they're trying to signal "I'm rich enough that if I drop this and the screen shatters I'll just shrug and buy another immediately, and if it happens again next week, same story"). That was a problem with my Mini when I first took it out of the box, but it was in a case soon after and that stopped being a problem—and I would buy this as an explanation, if they hadn't kept the original design for the first 3 generations, and if they seemed to care about that for other devices—my 4th gen iPad Pro's like that, too, so it's hard to use in-hand without a case because the bezel's tiny—but of course I'm going to have a case on it, so it hardly matters.

[EDIT] in fact, with a case, this thing's gonna look downright fat. Maybe they just couldn't fit as much battery as they needed for these newer chips & screens, in the old size?

This is clearly a cost/benefit tradeoff, and the sweet spot will depend entirely on the field. If you are studying the behavior of heads of state, getting an additional N is extremely costly, and having a p=0.05 study is maybe more valuable than having no published study at all, because the stakes are very high and even a 1% chance of (for example) preventing nuclear war is worth a lot. On the other hand, if you are studying fruit flies, an additional N may be much cheaper, and the benefit of yet another low effect size study may be small, so I could see a good argument being made for more stringent standards. In fact I know that in particle physics the bar for discovery is much higher than p=0.05.
> How does getting a vaccine affect a young healthy person negatively?

Isn't that a reason people don't want the shot? Because they're not sure of the answer to that question.

I got my 2 shots. Had to drive 1.5 hours each way both times, find someone to watch my kids and burn up 2 Saturdays that I could have spent doing something I wanted to do that wasn't getting a shot.

To claim there is zero cost is insincere at best.

Poor? Just get more money! If only every problem had such a facile answer!

None of this is remotely as easy as you seem to think it is. If it were that easy, they'd already be doing it. They're not morons. And as someone else pointed out, "not enough beds" is shorthand for "not enough doctors and nurses". It'll take years to increase the supply there.
Example subsidy: In NYC, street parking in most residential neighborhoods is "free". This is a subsidy paid for by taxpayers, 55 percent of which do not own a car. These parking spaces take up 500 million square feet of public space. That's a lot of free real estate for storage of private property.
Aaaaand your point? Humans are all of these things without being subject to such conditions as jails, war, or enslavement. And while US prisons have no shortage of terrible faults, most prisons around the world are far worse both in their living conditions and their treatment of prisoners, so no idea why you're choosing a single out US prisons specifically.
Generally better battery life. Mobile devices are generally get task done, go to sleep or wind down whatever cores/systems possible. So by doing it faster, it’s generally using less power for the same task. This is often spent in areas like smaller systems, lighter, brighter screens or radio’s though as they work towards a battery life as the budget.
People "moved on" from PayPal, too.

It's bound to break in the future. Google will stop, if didn't already, certifying devices that lack the TEE.

The performance is to help you add more work types into your current workflow.
Cameras from 2-3 generations back will meet 99% of people's needs.

The new SE is basically an 8, and the way 90% of people use their phone, they would notice no difference between the new SE and a 13.

Which is what I see happening in my social circles. No one gets a new phone unless the old one is dead. Setting up a new phone and stuff is a pain, why bother for a few extra details in camera for pictures you will never curate and probably just share once on WhatsApp?
It used to be that if you were queer - in any sense of the word - and lived in one of the countless small, conservative, traditional communities in this country, you were shit out of luck.

I don't mind bashing the bad about social media and the internet, but I am kind of sick of people overlooking the good.

I suppose the point is that a revolution is unlikely to improve anyone's prospects of affording a car.

I don't deny that people have real reasons for wanting radical change. But they should know that the overwhelming likelihood is that overthrowing the system is going to lead to a system that is much less just and far more corrupt.
People who say this obviously don't remember watching the screen slowly draw itself on old text terminals when you hit page down.

Now, we complain when it drops from 60fps to 40fps while rapidly slinging high resolution text + images with our fingers, and also that this is somehow "slower".

Its amazing how much our expectations have changed.
I don't know, I'm positive I'm not part of the sacred circle, but just a data point. The Haskell applications that I've managed to produce were all uniformly slow-compiling and unmaintainable. And I promise it wasn't for lack of thinking about "side effects".

In my view, the problem is that functional languages give you a toolset to compose functions (code) by connecting them in structures. In Haskell, that is made harder by the restricting type system (very limited language to do type computations) that you must champion, including a myriad of extension, which invariably lead me down to dead-end paths that I didn't know how to back out of without starting all over.

But Haskell's restricting type system aside, every programmer that I consider worth their salt has understood that it's not about the code. Good programmers worry about the data, not the code. Composing code is not a problem for me; I just write one code after the other, there isn't much else that is needed. I just think about aligning the data such that the final thing that the machine has to do is as straightforward as possible. Then the code becomes easy to write as a result.

The possibilities to design data structures in Haskell are obviously limited by its immutability. Which is, quite frankly, hilarious. "State" is almost by definition central to any computation - and Haskell tries to eliminating it (which of course is only an illusion; in practice we're bending over backwards to achieve mutability). For Haskell in particular, which does not even have record syntax, basic straightforward programming is often just not possible in my perception. I refuse to reduce a hard to use library like "Lenses" to do basic operations thing that should be _easy_ to code.

Even though Haskell is popular, and many programmers (including me) go through a Haskell phase, I haven't seen many large mature Haskell codebases (I know basically about Pandoc; and ghc if a Haskell compiler counts). Why is that?
> Thank you for agreeing. So your definition is so bad Apple qualifies as a pyramid scheme under it. That makes it appear that you have no idea what a pyramid scheme is.

Yes, this looks like a typo in the article. It should be smallest to largest.
Zoos keep Rhinos. They manage without the kind of budget that a resurrected dinosaur would afford. They also keep elephants, 800lb gorillas, chimps, ostriches, all kinds of powerful and intelligent beasts capable of reproduction. They sometimes escape, but it's the exception, and killing the animal(s) is always a last-ditch option.

That last point is another place where I expect a huge fiction-reality gap. If I pay to watch a movie about a dinosaur getting loose, I want to see it shrug off bunker-busting missiles from fighter jets, with big fireball explosions and people jumping in the air and the hero magically surviving. I don't want to see a short, sad walk down to the city park where they try and fail for an hour to coax it back and ultimately decide that they have to shoot it with a slightly larger than average rifle. That's the boring and horrible but realistic scenario.

There's nothing wrong with the movie scene not being realistic, but there is something wrong with blindly assuming that the movie scene is realistic.
NB: Post author here.

Oops, yep, that should probably be order from smallest to largest. Thanks for the correction!
FWIW Shipley Donuts recently got bought by PE too. I talked to them as a then potential franchisee and they have pretty big growth plans. If you're curious, it wasn't right fit for me now that PE is involved. I was interested as a casual absentee owner, but their growth plan doesn't really have much room for that anymore.
You insinuated it by alluding to Kia vs. Rolls Royce, which is curious as Apple products are not luxury items, save perhaps the gold "watch edition" iWatch.

It's not, and I don't see anyone saying that here. It will give better returns than angel investing for the average person (i.e. people not investing in Uber, Stripe, etc.), though.

> No, if Angel investing didn’t have a commensurate premium, no one would do it.

If no one won the lottery, no one would play. That doesn't make playing the lottery a good investment strategy.

The problem is that when you’re on the cusp of a new thing, unless you’re super lucky, the result will necessarily be near the noise floor. Real science is like that.

But I definitely agree it’d be nice to go back and show something is true to p=.0001 or whatever. Overwhelmingly solid evidence is truly a wonderful thing, and as you say, it’s really the only way to build a solid foundation.

When you engineer stuff, it needs to work 99.99-99.999% of the time or more. Otherwise you’re severely limited to how far your machine can go (in terms of complexity, levels of abstraction and organization) before it spends most of its time in a broken state.

I’ve been thinking about this while playing Factorio: so much of our discussion and mental modeling of automation works under the assumption of perfect reliability. If you had SLIGHTLY below 100% reliability in Factorio, the game would be a terrible grind limited to small factories. Likewise with mathematical proofs or computer transistors or self driving cars or any other kind of automation. The reliability needs to be insanely good. You need to add a bunch of nines to whatever you’re making.

A counterpoint to this is when you’re in an emergency and inaction means people die. In that case, you need to accept some uncertainty early on.

Not only is it not valuable to publish tons of studies with p=.04999 and small effect size, in fact it's harmful. With so many questionable results published in supposedly reputable places it becomes possible to "prove" all sorts of crackpot theories by selectively citing real research. And if you try to dispute the studies you can get accused of being anti-science.
Most data is not 300 years old or in the distance future, in fact ranges 1970+-292 years are very common. That is to say, panda's choice is good for lots of people, including outside high-frequency stock traders.
There are so many good features from the last LTS (11) to now. Some of my favorite languages are Swift and TypeScript because of how natural the syntax feels. Java is finally getting close to that level of flexibility with JDK 17.
Here's an alternate way to look at it:

You're at FAANG making $250k salary (plus equity). You love the idea of a startup, but dropping to $150k salary + 1% in equity over 4x years isn't entirely appealing. (Setting aside starting your own.)

At the same time, you have a network of awesome, capable people who want to start their own business. These people are motivated, scrappy, and enjoyable to be around -- i.e. the traits YC looks for, which you can recognize. You'd help them for "free" anyway.

So take the delta in salary ($100k), and invest $50k @ $5M cap for 1% ownership into two startups a year. Four years on, you've got 1% in 8 companies with preferred stock & no vesting. Your net cash salary is equivalent in both situations, plus you earned equity in FAANG. You get to live vicariously through your entrepreneur friends, avoid startup FOMO, and relish in the relative comfort of a FAANG employer.
I wonder if we should separate the roles of scientist and researcher. Universities would have generalist "scientists" who's job would be to consult for domain-specialized researchers to ensure they're doing the science and statistics correctly. That way, we don't need every researcher in every field to have a deep understanding of statistics, which they often don't.

Either that or stop rewarding such bad behavior. Science jobs are highly competitive, so why not exclude people with weak statistics? Maybe because weak statistics leads to more spurious exciting publications which makes the researcher and institution look better?
