ActiveStorgae was launched half-baked. Downloading files on the back end was missing from 5 and not introduced until 6. This seriously burned us as we had to put off implementing a ton of what should be easy reporting features until we could get around to upgrading from 5 to 6. Rails strategy of bundling everything together was a huge problem. With Rails7 it looks like ActiveStorage has finally reached parity with Paperclip, so while its nice that there's a built-in option, fundamentally we're still back to where we were years ago, as its not like it took longer than 30 minutes to setup Paperclip either.
Seems to be a delay there, where OPs site focuses on the current day's papers. Still cool nonetheless.
It's an interesting question, but I suspect that there are other, easier ways of normalizing companies from those regions to be Delaware-based (or something that prevents it, perhaps in Singapore's case, not sure), whereas outside of those there's really only this nuclear "company flip" option.

YC hates anything specialized about a company re: this sort of thing - hence no special deals, etc., so I'd bet more on other normalization factors rather than no normalization.

Attending college that were a lot of boring classes that were mandatory. When I would catch myself boring in class I would open JSFiddle and create something. Some of those sketches end up becoming a project. I was felling a bit nostalgic these days and started looking into old stuff. Anyways, hope you like it.

You're right. Jeff Bezos could give >$100k to every Amazon employee and only be giving away the money he's gained during the pandemic[0]. How can he not allocate at least 100k for each employee and change a lot of lives? He could easily give everyone this and have zero impact on this life. What can he do with $200B that he could not do with $100B?

I could easily give away $10k to charity and save multiple lives[1] without impacting my quality of life, and given that you are on HN, you likely have $10k you could live without as well. We are literally choosing to have money in some retirement account over saving lives - why would you expect founders to give away money just to make rich tech workers more rich?

We have access to cable internet and shortly fiber (from Metronet). We have some friends in an established (and not poor mind you) neighborhood not 2 miles away that doesn't even have cable run. They can't get ANY internet if it's not wireless.

It baffles my mind.
To make matters worse, it's also a vicious cycle. For example, if everyone is focused only on specific kinds of data and ignores observable reality, the trend in the data will become self-fulfilling until a point when the perceived inconsistency between the data and observable reality has grown so large that it becomes impossible to ignore.

To understand what the big problems are today, you just have to think about the kinds of data which people in government (and the public) haven't been thinking about or aiming for. For example: Happiness, honesty, altruism, sanity... These are not measured and not targeted so they got completely crushed.

In the past, large, powerful religious groups would target these characteristics but nowadays, society is more secular so these aspects of our lives have suffered significantly.
I am unfortunately not an OpenJDK dev (but would really like to become one down the road), but afaik a GC is way too dependent on the internals of the runtime. The JVM has a very different object structure.

Also, I think D allows for pointers which is a no-go with compacting GCs (as those move objects around). So all in all, the algorithm used itself can be ported, but it has many runtime specific logic, which is just as important for great performance.

If the advice at YC was the same as what you get at HBS, we would have plenty of people who know how to scale but not how to start. And no, the art of starting something is neither well researched nor well understood, beyond of what you'll learn at YC. They really have formulated that field better than anyone else, however scientifically (or not) that knowledge was created.

Same here. I used to vote for a third party candidate in most elections since that was usually who my views aligned most closely with, but in recent years I've switched to voting for the least bad major party because of how awful and terrifying the opposing side has become.
I'd also be more interested to the the first or fifth percentile rankings. I'd bet that we do pretty poorly, especially in terms of the 10mbps benchmark.

Edit: these stats also exclude people who have no internet at all (which is a subset of speed test users, but an important subset).
I run a lot on streets. You do you, but this video is going to make me much more careful around Tesla cars from now on.
For two job searches I did I made an "application tracking system" which kept track of the workflow for sucking in job listings, filtering out spam and duplicates, sending resumes and cover letters, interviews, etc. It even had a machine learning model to help prioritize listings for review.

I think the story of the ATS got me a job on the first interview for the first time, the next one took a little longer.
I'm curious why the Neoverse N1/N2 designers left SMT off of the table?

I'd assume that any workload that benefits from 80 cores would benefit from 160-threads (on those 80 cores). Apple's decision to avoid SMT on M1 kinda-sorta makes sense, from the perspective that phones probably don't have throughput-sensitive workloads like servers.

But if databases / other systems with lots of I/O or RAM-heavy wait times start coming up, surely SMT would easily improve performance without much costs in area or power?

---------

It seems like the lower-power E1 core (Efficiency core) has SMT. So the ARM / Neoverse team has the experience to bring SMT should they desire it. This suggests that there's some design reason they left SMT off the table.

The N1/N2 cores are more "general purpose", so I'd assume that they'd see more workloads than E1. If E1 benefits from SMT, why not N1/N2?
Not surprised, but not everyone writes frameworks. I write end-user apps. There's a lot of us, out there.

I have written quite a few frameworks, SDKs and APIs; both server-based and host-based, and never had to deal with this stuff. If I had, I would have done what I always do, when I get to that point: Learn what I need to learn.

I have been learning new stuff, my entire career. I don't know how to do almost every project I take on. I even wrote about it, here: https://littlegreenviper.com/miscellany/thats-not-what-ships...
Lots of buses, delivery vehicles, and trash trucks around me have propane stickers. Not sure where the fueling station around me but I used to live 5 minutes from one in my old house.

All they need it storage and trucks to supply them. Same as gas or propane. Lots of people in the country get their natural gas delivered and it’s no big deal.
> The free market is an empty ideology because there is no such thing in the real world

Meh. If you can say that about "the free market" you could say that about just about anything. But in practice, people are able to recognize substantial free-market properties in markets that are substantially free, just as easily as they can recognize the properties of communism in systems which are substantially communist, even while Real Communism Has Never Been Tried™.
Fair play, I just seem to remember reading it somewhere that it wasn’t set in stone. Maybe that’s either changed or I misunderstood what I read or I’m remembering wrong (tried to Google for it but no luck). Clearly your knowledge of the matter takes precedence and my comments around the 7% should be disregarded.
If HN allows racist content, they are responsible for it. It's absolutely within their power to ban people for regularly complaining about BLM or "critical race theory". They just don't. Whether that's because HN mods are racist themselves or for some other reason, it doesn't matter because the outcome is the same. It even flies in the face of their so called reasoning because no intelligent conversation will arise from such a comment, yet they're left up anyway.

People can even predict the racist reactions this "community" will have:

I love this. It puts into (better) words my long-held belief that ideas do, in fact, matter.

Startups live and die by their ideas. The nuance is that ideas can be detailed or abstract, and those details can be some combination of right/wrong and relevant/irrelevant.

I've got back and looked at some of the early pitch decks of my current unicorn employer, and they're shockingly accurate. The founders / early team have been saying the same thing since before launch. It's unreal how fast they figured out the core value prop, and so much of the growth of the company is living up to the promises of that early idea.

Figuring out what really matters needs to happen early, and it's something that founders and early team need to internalize as much as possible. If you can get that deep understanding of what needs to be done, quickly, the company's odds of success go up so, so dramatically.
Substack is winning because of business model innovation, and also because of market timing. Their technology isn't really an advantage compared to legacy CMS platforms - how they are employing that technology is the difference.

Medium went for a bottom-up approach, trying to monetize the content of the crowd. Substack is going for a top-down approach, grabbing writers with an existing large following and paying them top rates, which are justified by the conversion rates for their well-known creators.

Normal people might not have heard of these companies, but niche audiences certainly follow some of the specific authors/columnists/influencers and are following them onto substack with paid subscriptions.

Is that a moat, or will they jump to the next platform? A few have been poached by the NYT and other venues, so maybe the moat isn't that big.

My model for determining the number of scientific discoveries indicates that visible, understandable scientific discoveries only account for about 10% of the scientific discoveries out there.

You say you are "exploring where that line is", but then continue pushing a single sided view by conjuring some perfect user archtype who simultaneously has very strong opinions but also can't be bothered to express them. I know users are unreasonable, but completely discounting their agency does not make for reasonable analysis.

I've merely put forth a straightforward definition of "censorship" - one where there is a third party censor who controls the content of speech.

To translate your scenario into an earlier time - if most people in a society don't want to hear thoughts that conflict with the teachings of the church, and they appoint someone to an office to approve play manuscripts before they're performed, is that censorship?

If merely labeling centralized user-uninvolved content filtering with the technical term of "censorship" makes you uncomfortable, then perhaps you need to revisit your own assumptions.
Exactly! What the heck spooked the "AI"?
But SB9 also allows lot-splitting if the plot is large enough, right? Also allows duplexes original lot could be x2 and each of those can have one duplex.

Obviously this lot-splitting may not work in areas like Los Altos where each single family lot by city law is required to be 10k sqft or larger (unsure how local laws will interact with SB9).

But question @koolba asks is still valid - can you recursively split large lots into many smaller lots?
That's not what I saw. I saw the car abort it's turn that would have taken it through the crosswalk in front of the people and not impeding them. Still illegal, but a far cry from almost hitting them.

The car aborted (or was aborted by the driver) and stopped before finishing it's turn on the road from what I saw, leaving it at about a 45 degree angle instead of the 90 degrees it would eventually reach if it continued turning.
The theory parent is mentioning, doesn't just talk about "less hot and less arid" but a lush green and very favorable for agriculture.

If these people went as far as to carve camels in stones, that would mean these animals were prevalent in their areas and way of life which is in direct conflict with assuming their land were anything but hot and arid.

I have heard of the theory about different climate of Egypt and Iraq in ancient times. It seems logical that civilization should have started in a climate supportive for mass agriculture.

It's depressing when we think of earth's climate change over a time scale unimaginable for humans. The theory implies (at least for me) that the decline of quality of life in ME/NorthAfrica has more to do with a random external change not in control of insignificant humans.

It's unclear if hydrogen had serious R&D problems, or just the go to market approach for hydrogen cars was flawed.

Hydrogen needed a Tesla-like company to strip away everything that made a car a car, and rip away all the legacy at once.

Getting away from ICE requires starting from the ground up, and avoiding picking up too much legacy auto baggage along the way. This is exceedingly hard to do.

Toyota branding their vehicles as hydrogen with the Toyota logo and trying to go it alone was sort of doomed to failure. They had no opportunity to build a buggy v0 of these vehicles with something novel and exciting to entire new customers because they had to convert the average Toyota consumer. They had to utilize the existing dealer network (and get them to buy in), and simultaneously work with governments to build up the infrastructure and work through government approvals.

I see a few of these Mirai's hanging around in California but nothing compared to the number of Model S, Model Y, and Model 3 that I see at every 4 way stop.

The other thing I noticed is that for about a month some items had a price increase of about $1 but at the same time suddenly was "on sale" for $1 off (club card sale). So with the club card you paid the same price as last month. The sale ended two days ago and low and behold what I used to pay 3.50 is now 4.50. I have a feeling if they are calling stores, they are probably giving them the club-card price, so some of these price hikes are delayed.

If someone actually finished working on an inflation database website I would love to enter data for them. I'm seeing spikes across everything I buy in the last 2 months. I feel like the true inflation for food itself is at least 33% in the last 5 months.
The challenge of a random company posting about their experience at YC is the same as what you'll hear about HBS - it's always anecdotal and tied to the personal outcome of the writer. Are there people who spend a shit ton on HBS and don't return that investment soon enough? Sure. Would it make sense to go to HBS? Depending on where you net out, it can be the best or the worst investment you've ever made.

The nice thing about YC is that you're not investing your cash, but equity. If you have the right business/team/timing/execution, then the cost of equity will be high, but you'll do better than you ever expected so it's all good. And if you don't do well, then your equity wasn't worth much to start with, and you essentially got the HBS experience for free without any of the debt.

I work in Latin America and with the kind of low end phones and flakey mobile connections that a lot of people use here, 5-15MB is a pretty big issue. E.g. what I have seen from metrics is phones spending seconds just parsing/compiling those huge javascript bundles loading websites that don't do much more than turning json into html.

Because it is.

That your market logic. The more demand the more incentivised production is. That's a spin on the famous example breaking windows, so later your business can set new glass panes.

In practical terms you are talking about planned obsolescence exactly the same thing. Companies make product so the last no more then X years, even though they could last way longer.

You are forced to buy a inferior product because all companies conspire not to produce longer lasting goods.

In your example its like buying an apple and being force to throw it away after one bite.
