Thanks a lot for posting these details and dealing with the critical replies.

I think that with your background and investment in improving these problems, it will be hard for you to understand the perspective many people have that Facebook is fundamentally rotten at this point. These conflicts arise from FB's core business model. It calls up a torrent of hate speech and misinformation with the right hand while trying to clumsily moderate with the left.

You can hire whole teams to prevent singed fingers or protect certain possessions, but the point of a fire is to burn. If there are no good solutions while maintaining FB's core approach and business model, then it would be better for the world if it were extinguished.

If we want the greener future the prices have to reflect the reality. We want people to use less energy, doesn't make sense lowering the prices like that. Obviously going green means paying more.

Show HN: Snackwyze- Bite sized clickthrough demos instantly
Hey Guys, Neeraj here - founder of Snackwyze (https://snackwyze.com), the easiest, fastest and the most affordable way to create, share and track clickthrough demos for your software.

Personally, I have been in Sales and marketing for over 10 years and worked at various companies /various sizes including Cisco. And in those many years, I never found an easy way to create clickthrough demos for sales and marketing use cases. So I decided to build a platform for the same. My buddy and I built a chrome extension that records your screen and converts every single click into a step-by-step clickhthrough demo that you can easily share, embed, download and then track from the Snackwyze platform.

I'd love for you guys to try it out and let me know if you find it useful. If you are looking to create product tours/deos for your website then I'd be delighted to help you build as well.

Thank you! Cheers
Ah yes, before you know it we're off slinging Hitler accusations left and right. If you've got counter arguments related to the paper, you're more than welcome to share them.

I think the last couple of years have sown & grown the seeds of concern around some of these buzzy "valuations" for businesses that are years into their execution stage, burning more cash then they make, and still appear to have no path towards addressing that scenario.

The preferred business model still appears to be: 1.)Grow large enough that you can buy your competition and establish a monopoly or 2.)Become large enough that your competition acquires you.

I haven't seen many recent successful pivots from those two stages into a sustainable, long term business.

Had to chime in on the first of the named "principles" of the language, because it makes a good example of what I think is wrong with the Rust community:

> “Reliable: If it compiles, it works.”

This isn't a principle. This is a subtweet.

The principle being elucidated is something more like "fully specified semantics" or "no undefined behavior". And that's fine. But phrasing it like this is (1) obviously a lie as plenty of Rust code will compile that doesn't work and (2) needlessly picking a fight with C/C++ instead of engaging productively in a discussion of tradeoffs.

Meh. It's time for Rust to start doing more and saying less, IMHO.
The const and constexpr keywords mean different things.

Declaring a method const tells the compiler that that method won’t change the object.

Declaring something constexpr tells the compiler that if its arguments are known at compile time then it will always return the same result and may be a candidate for “invocation” at compile time.

The fact that the keywords both contain the string “const” is a consequence of the English language.

There are meaningful alternatives for your examples. If you didn't want to work at Applebees, you could work at Chilis.

Right now, I would be willing to bet that a large majority of Lyft drivers also drive for Uber. Uber is so much larger that there is no real alternative. If the law makes it so that drivers can choose only one rideshare app, they will all choose Uber because its bigger.
I could send my kids to very good private schools but we are seriously considering learning pods. Online groups make it easy to meet up with other pods. And I like the ability to craft the syllabus my kids learn from.

The old factory-method of schooling just doesn’t make any sense. Why do you have 45 minutes of math, 45 minutes of English, 45 minutes of etc.? It’s like the format of schooling was invented 150 years ago and never updated.

I'm hesitant on any type of synthetic fuel creation. Marketing says it's greener but it burns the same and almost by necessity is a net negative in energy costs. Instead of comparing to fossil fuels it should be compared to other energy storage and transmission solutions, that's what it's really doing here.
if you think the device has been lost then you should obviously kick it off your account immediately, and it'll be immediately rotated out of all the conversations it was in.

otherwise, do you really want to rely on the OTK pool exhausting as a very handwavey way to provide post-compromise security? A much better solution would be to have a firmer metric for your server to explicitly kick out your devices after N days of inactivity. Relying on some weird bug like OTK pool exhaustion for security purposes is horrible.

I don't know much about the terminology here, but doesn't "homeschooling" generally imply "the parents determine what the kid gets taught, they just have to make it through finals" and "remote schooling" imply "while still following the school's syllabus"?

That's a potentially big difference.
btw. in .net core you can either use attributes or builders to create your routes or even more stuff. at least since (i think) 3.0.

It seems you need the original game CDs to get the music on OpenRA. Incidentally, I have both the original 3 1/2" disk and the remastered CDs from the early 2000s -- but no computers with CDs or floppy drives.

Advance Wars has a very similar unit composition to C&C units: rocket troops are cheap and can effectively damage tanks (while rifle infantry are even cheaper and go 1-to-1 vs rocket troops).

Advance Wars has a bit of a rocket-troop deathball problem however. Rocket troops are so cheap and effective, that large masses of rockets overpower any possible opposition.

Its clear to me that C&C had designed the "instant kill squish" effect to mitigate this problem. Maybe in playtesting, they tried it out and realized that rocket troops are just too powerful. A singular unit that truly does everything at very, very cheap prices.
What's blocking them from doing metrics based payment, but with employee like protections? Pay people for the time they mark themselves "available" (regardless of if there's any rides), and require that drivers take anything you give them while they are available. I imagine you could put in a cap and a floor if you really wanted to. You could even allow drivers to reject a certain percentage of rides if you felt like it.

The point wouldn't be to control the drivers, but for uber to assume some of the risk.
The signature reminds me of dlang somewhy, with its "pure nothrow @safe @nogc" etc.
> Nationalizing something is bad because the next entrepreneurs in that field know they won't make money, so they won't build.

There is noting implicit that means they don't make money. The process of nationalization doesn't have to result in 0 compensation, it could be run like any other buyout. That being said being government run has its own issues.

Ask HN: Whats with the insane valuation of websites these days?
I was looking at a listing, 100$ yearly (yes, yearly) revenue and the asking price is 50K. Another site has $20 revenue and the asking price is 8k. And so on.

I'm not sure, I haven't had the time I wanted to catch up like I used to in the binary patching days.
I never understood why this distinction is made and why it’s not just obfuscation. The real numbers are the cost of an employee to the employer and the amount the employee gets, the difference is what the state took as a tax, and the way that cut is divided to different state budget chapters is inconsequential to both the employee and the employer

Seems like the difference between homeschooling and remote learning is probably not that large practically speaking. Every parent I know had to put significant attention towards remote learning when they had elementary aged kids. Seems to me it's mostly a matter of where you get your content and lesson plans from. Do you take whatever the school gives you or do you roll your own lesson plans with the copious resources out there.
I think Steve has a well earned reputation for being decent and trustworthy.

I can understand the desire here for more details so that others can come to a firmer conclusion but try to put yourself in Steve's shoes. It is very hard to publicly criticize some of the behavior of a group you are a member of without burning bridges or deeply harming relationships. At the same time, saying nothing publicly is read as tacit approval.

I interpret the article as a giving Amazon credit for why people like Rust, and Steve's response as a public disagreement saying that such credit is unwarranted and gives Amazon more power than it should have over Rust's future direction.
> Social media was supposed to help level the playing field of society, not exacerbate its inequalities.

Supposed by whom? Zuckerberg created Facebook when he was at Harvard and had never seemed interested in leveling any playing field.
Thankfully here in Europe we had more variety. Commodore was still hugely popular but so was Acorn (BBC Basic was one of the best of the era) and Amstrad (Locomotive BASIC was loosely based on BBC Basic, so also pretty awesome). Sinclair machines (eg Spectrum) were also popular but that's one of the few machines of that era I didn't do any development on (played plenty of games but man are their keyboards annoying for any prolonged typing!) so cannot comment on how Sinclair BASIC performed against Microsoft BASIC.
Maybe allow them to steal some land and build there without regulations? Just like the previous people did?
I can't blame them though. Networks of any kind have the particular effect of working the better, the more people are on it. What use is a messenger (cough Signal, Threema) if none of your contacts use them and can be persuaded to install yet-another-network app?

The obvious solution would have been for governments to mandate federation with open standards (e.g. XMPP) early on, but unfortunately most politics decision-makers are dinosaurs who won't understand "federation", much less "API"...

I am humble. (Ironic, perhaps.) But I would almost certainly fail that question about "who have you learned the most from", if they're looking for an answer like, "my childhood bus driver".

My answer would be, "I'm not even sure I could say if I had a day to think about it. They're spread all over the place, and the majority of them since I left school are authors who've never met me or functionally anonymous people online."

I still do learn through emulation (albeit not like I used to when I was still an adult-in-formation) but it's not especially focused on any one person.
>Note, too, that engineers at NASA are at the whim of Congress. I know several whose life work was cut in a budget negotiation thousands of miles away. I know several more who left aerospace for better pay in other industries.

Fair point, it does require the state to be willing to sufficiently and consistently invest in the effort for it to succeed.

That's a good point. If those 10x engineers can't figure out a way to make it legal and ethical, maybe it's not good.

Does this reflect genuine concern for the poor, or is it a bad faith tactic to try to shoot down a policy for other (perhaps unstated) reasons or priorities? Because I've seen a lot of the latter lately.

Especially with something like vaccine passports, any special issue the poor disproportionally experience is probably better dealt with through some kind of mitigation (e.g. make vaccines free, arrange free transportation or mobile clinics, mandate paid recovery days) than by scrapping the idea entirely. It's stupid to let a small issue prevent a bigger issue from getting addressed.

Ask HN: Rate GPUs
As a deep learning hobbyist, I have a general sense for which GPUs are great and which are awful. But, I'm less familiar with some of the in-the-middle ones, and I'm generally curious what criteria pro researchers use. E.g., never use anything besides X, if you were strapped for cash maybe use Y, etc.

Here are the main ones I've come across, but maybe people would say others are relevant too.

I've included my guesses as to ratings/thoughts, as well as current AWS spot price for 1 GPU in east-2. Does this assessment seem roughly right? Am I missing anything? Obviously assessing these can be very complicated based on what exactly you're using them for; I'm just looking for very high level thoughts.

A100
9.5/10 - among the best available now?
$1.39/hr (this is an estimate; AWS actually only offers an 8 GPU instance for $11.15/hr so I just divided by 8)

V100
8.5/10 - very good
$0.92/hr

P100
8/10 - good, used a fair amount in research
AWS doesn't seem to offer these anymore? Replaced by V100s?

T4
5/10 - I don't know. Do people use these ever?
$0.36/hr

M60
2/10 - I don't really know. I assume bad
$0.34/hr

K80
1/10 - crap, basically don't ever waste your time
$0.27/hr
Because school isn’t just about learning. Learning pods and online learning just isn’t scalable.
> for twice the price.

Prices vary over time. Upon seeing this, I checked the current price and it is almost twice as much as I paid at the time and the item is listed as out of stock by this seller.

Indeed, there is a 8265 listed at $21[1] and a converter listed at $8[2]. At the time, I did not know such converters existed.

I've been doing this to record video conferences, separating my mic, conference output, and rest of desktop. So I record my mic and the rest of the conference with OBS (as two separate tracks) and can still hear conference + other apps (but other apps aren't recorded).

I'm doing this with PulseAudio. It adds a little latency but it works. I initially used pagraphcontrol [1] and later made my own little Python script that creates the virtual devices ("null outputs") and virtual wires ("loopbacks") and wires conference applications automatically when they show up.

Can I do this with PipeWire? Are the tools there? This post claims that PipeWire is now ready, but it seems to have reached version 0.3.35 which seems a very arbitrary point to call a milestone.

I'd argue the opposite... Although I'm changing jobs in a few weeks, WSL2 has allowed for a push towards Linux/Docker usage and a significant uptake for new development. This is in a historically mostly Windows environment... if it weren't for WSL, it would still all be windows.

The shift in open development of .Net Core/5/6 has been nice too. I absolutely love the Remoting extensions/tooling for VS Code as well. I can edit/terminal on remote systems with ease. All of these things have made actually building/deploying to Linux servers a pleasure.

I jokingly say that Windows is one of the best Linux Desktop distros at this point, and there's some merit to that claim. I have the new terminal set to my WSL environment as default, spend most of my time in VS Code using WSL and Docker. Of course, I'm also switching my personal desktop back to (only) PopOS in a few weeks, also bought an M1 Macbook.

I'm not tethered to Windows in any meaningful way, but the water is pretty nice. It's crap like in TFA that causes me to not want to stay in the Windows pool.
