The triangle comes from their being 3, nothing more. There are three types of sensors. If you try to visualize them geometrically, you get a triangle.

The gamut of all colors therefore is represented as a cube, with black, white, red, green, blue, magenta, yellow, cyan as corners.

None of this is dependent on the left hump... the left hump is just a minor quirk that causes the shortest wavelengths to also stimulate the "red cones" a bit (the cone cells whose peak sensitivity is longer wavelengths).

Its easiest to understand all this if you work with colors as RGB, as anyone who does things with colors on computers typically does (paint programs, html/css, etc). Note that when you see purple (or magenta, or violet) on a computer screen , it is by combination of red and blue, but by somehow making the wavelength of light coming off the screen actually be a shorter wavelength than blue.

I found this article on it: https://writingcooperative.com/the-anatomy-of-an-amazon-6-pa...
This isn't even close to my field, so please excuse what may be an ignorant question, but is this sort of patent usual in pharma? It seems as though the patent is claiming an extremely broad class of therapies (anti-aging) on an extremely broad set of compounds (several existing antibiotics and every conceivable derivative or related compound).

To me (as a software developer) this looks like the pharma equivalent of an overly broad business-method patent that is waiting for someone else to do the necessary R&D in order to cash in. Am I missing something?

What happens if platform A wants to interoperate with platform B and requires information from person C's account about person D (because they are friends)? Person D has likely not accepted any kind of privacy policy of platform A or consented to the exchange of data about them.

This would very quickly turn into a massive GDPR headache.
You're making this too complicated.

All that's required is that breaking changes to the API the vendor's first party client uses to access the service be documented and announced e.g. two years in advance.

It doesn't matter how poor the vendor's documentation is. It doesn't even need to exist. As long as the first party client can be reverse engineered and the fruits of that work don't get wiped out every month by purposeful undocumented adversarial modifications.

And then a vendor has a simple way to avoid running afoul of the rule -- keep a stable API. You can still change it, if you have to, but then the documentation of the change has to satisfy the lawyers, and more importantly you only get to do it once every two years, because you have to provide that much advance notice.

And it doesn't apply to adding new features, only breaking existing ones.
> 9. Protonmail Developers Do Not Use Protonmail

The article that justifies this claim is absurdly unreasonable in its approach, and its titular claim easily demonstrably false. Most of its method, such as it is, hinges on complaining that people haven’t chosen to make their email address public on their GitHub profile (which is something you have to opt into), and trivially falls apart; most of the rest comes of ignoring a separation of personal and work identities and is also nonsense; and the remainder is at least mildly dubious too.

Point six is also utterly clueless, as observed by others here already, and one or two of the other points where I do know a little have claims that are misleading or speculative at best.

Doesn’t incline me to trust this article on the parts that I don’t know about, even though I agree with some of its points (most significantly that first-party encryption is largely a crock—see Fastmail’s reasoning about that in parts of https://fastmail.blog/advanced/why-we-dont-offer-pgp/).
> In fact (as I'm sure you know), one of the most beloved speech synthesizers among English-speaking blind users is a closed-source product called ETI-Eloquence that has been basically dead for nearly 20 years.

This is exactly the speech synthesizer I use daily. I've gotten so used to it over the years that switching away from it is painful.
On Apple platforms, though, using it is not an option. So I use Karen. Used to use Alex, but Karen appears to be slightly more responsive and tries to do less human stuff when reading. Responsiveness is a very important factor, actually. Probably more so than people might realize. Eloquence and ESpeak react pretty much instantly whereas other voices might take 100 MS or so. This is a very big deal for me. Just like how one would like instant visual feedback on their screen, it's the same for me with speech. The less latency, the better.
My problem with ESpeak is that it sounds very rough and metallic whereas Eloquence has a much warmer sound to it. I pitch mine down slightly to get an even warmer sound. Being pleasant on the ears is super important if you listen to the thing many, many hours a day.
Most of the toons I got generally look like normal characters but with a mild genetic defect: a lazy eye, potentially concerning lump on a cheek, etc.

Hey JPKab, just wanted to post that I empathize with you and I’ve experienced the same criticism. You aren’t alone, and even if it may feel the entire country hates and condemns you for questioning that not everyone is that way.

I’ve found some hope among opponents with disagreeing beliefs, and I think remaining optimistic (reasonably) is an important piece of retaining the power to drive forward change in this area. Let’s remain supportive and hopeful in ultimately the same goal as our opponents: caring for and providing safety, love and compassion for all humans.

I've been listening to this rhetoric for years, yet every year, more energy problems are caused by (lack of) stable base load electricity supply, both in US and Europe, and much more in countries that heavily invested in "green" (non-nuclear) tech (e.g. Germany), than not (e.g. France).
There's also SOGo (https://www.sogo.nu/), which I'd be interested to see how Grommunio stacks up against that. SOGo has been pretty reliable for my personal deployments.

It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself -- anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence.

I want to work for a local startup, I'm a senior developer and don't know how
I'm an experienced software developer who worked as a full-stack developer for 17 years and recently five years fully into infrastructure, backend, and frontend for big companies.

I have a long history of working full-time for early startups. Most of them went well; many failed and closed. I even started my own companies that later pivoted to Software Agencies, or I just part away and let my partners own the company.

I'm working now in a fantastic USA based Saas/Technology company. I'm now Well paid and well connected.

That is the background.

My Problem:

I got "in love" with a local startup in my country, not just for the product. It's more about the people and how they are building the company. They have a great culture that I think will disrupt how local businesses will see themselves. I believe that if they are growing and having success could be of significant impact on my country.

I want to get involved, and I have so many things to help and do right away. They lack engineers and are naive on building international products, and of course, they have little funding, and they only count on bootstrapping themselves. Regardless of all the problems, they are growing.

I don't want to offer myself as CTO. Their current CTO is great, isn't experienced, but he believes deeply in the company's vision. I can't replace him. I tried to help refer engineers to them, but the remuneration is so tiny that all my referrals just declined. They are on founder waters, which is risky for any engineer, especially those with secure offers in other places.

My current rate is almost 7x more than they offer to a Senior Developer. Quitting my job isn't a great option, mainly because I have a family. And to make it complex, they already have some small amount of funding, and they don't want to dilute equity more early.

What options do I have to get involved? They are welcoming to me, but they don't know how that relationship will go. I already do some mentoring, but I want to sit down and program and get that product completed ASAP.

HN does anybody have some ideas?
At least it's not "How Lotus is going to build electric sports cars lightweight"? Seriously though, it's a little disappointing to see 66.4 kWh for a minimal two-seater that's supposed to represent the Lotus philosophy. Any 2-seater that passes for Lotus can easily expect 4 miles / 6.5 km per kWh in normal driving. That's a lotta range to be lugging around.

It would be nice to see a track focused version with half the battery capacity. Take advantage of the reduced pack volume and shorten the wheelbase for additional weight loss, now the weight can be on par with an ICE Lotus. RWD with CoG behind centerline and tighter polar moment than an Elise on top of EV torque sounds like an absolute handful; call it a Evropa and have some fun at the local autocross!

Basically the only way this really works is if we define standard APIs for all forms of cloud services. From infrastructure all the way up to social media and beyond. In prior eras protocols were custom designs on top of the IP protocol. That's not going to fly today and it also won't let us move fast enough. Most API definitions at the likes of Google are now defined in protobuf, another alternative is openapi. Either would suffice but I think protobuf is less verbose and potentially easier to evolve.

It also requires open standards for defining those services and potentially open implementations. See github.com/micro/services as an example.

Ultimately it's going to take a long time and significant coordination between multiple players for it to happen. I do wish we just had an open set of services anyone could run and contribute to. Then we could either go through the pains of hosting ourselves or paying someone to do it for us.

I never really experienced this kind of issue until I was given a corporate macbook by my current employer. I suspect this is due to all the "security" software that comes pre-installed by IT. The software is constantly a source of performance related issues, IO seems to be a big one as if it's constantly checking / scanning.
> In the meanwhile, in political debates we pretend that Italian companies do not innovate and can't pay Western European salaries because they can't fire people.

Thanks for the comment.

I agree with you completely, worker protection doesn't hurdle innovation.

The trend towards less protections has been going on since the 90s when I entered the active workforce in Italy and personally I've rarely worked under the full protection of the law until recently.

As a freelancer in the tech sector I always had above average salaries, I can't complain, my gripe is the majority of the work force consider a job something that the state must provide indefinitely, even when the financial returns are not there see Alitalia and FIAT as an example.

The solution is not IMO less guarantees for the workers, but incentives for continuing education and subsidies to sustain people that lose their job to help them be back on track.

We have a bit of both, but not enough and not fairly distributed, while guaranteed workers refuse to learn new things because "it's not written in the contract" and there's almost nothing the employer can do to make them.

So we are basically incentivizing people to get a job and never have to grow with the job or hire people in the public as a way to keep unoccupied people as low as possible as a form of subsidy in disguise.

The rest is on its own, especially the younger generations.

But there are many innovative companies in Italy, for example in aerospace or structural engineering (bridges, dams, etc. )

> The presenter mentioned that our self-talk is nearly always critical

I don't doubt that this is the case for (at least) some people.

But my internal monologue is only occasionally critical (and only occasionally congratulatory).

My internal monologue is instead almost always neutral - task-focused, observational, problem-solving...

(And fwiw, my childhood wasn't anywhere close to ideal, though it was far from terrible. Average isn't the right word. But I don't know what is the right word.)

Even if you restrict the subset of thinking just to self-evaluation, my focus is:

- 20% on where I am
- 70% on how to get where I want to be
- 10% on how I got where I am (e.g. self-criticism)

Again, I understand that I'm an anecdote in a sea of data. But the "nearly always critical" has my hackles up

1) Central banks aren’t regulated by the media.

2) The expansion of the money supply is not necessarily inflationary.

3) Inflation is very different from taxation: if you hold cash you’re supposed to circulate it, either by spending it or by investing it. Inflation disincentivizes cash-hoarding, and also deflated the value of any debt you might have.

Because it fits other parameters of practicality. Gatekeeping what's a real sports car might fly on car enthusiast forums, but it just isn't a good look outside of them (it's not a good look there either, tbh).

Mazda sells a decent number of automatic Mazdas each year (24% of softtops, 48% of hardtops in 2018-2019 according to auto blog), so people are buying them. The reason to buy a hypothetical electric Miata? Same as for any sports car - it's faster than yours, or at least as fast I can afford.

Whether there's a market for them, I can't say, but if someone doesn't understand the existing market for an existing car, I'm extremely doubtful of their predictions about a hypothetical new car in that niche.
> Most driving enthusiasts, once they experience the instant torque of electric cars, never look back. That's joy.

What is this based on? Really isn’t the case in any auto enthusiast group I know of except ones that are extremely casual/Tesla-fanboys. If it were, all the people I know wouldn’t be buying GT3s, Huracans, R8s, etc. I know 0 who bought electric. I’m in the market myself for another car but I’m not looking at an electric car - gonna buy another ICE sports car because they have a lot more emotion and character. Not like any electric sports cars even really exist at this point anyway… or are still in production I guess.
That's nice theory. In practice, however, I'd like to see you try to engage them (as you put it), and have a nice, civil, productive exchange with white supremacists.
> Yes it is. You can own it if you want, but it's specifically about equality of outcome, not about having clean air.

How/When did wanting equality of outcome become "pettiness"?

Also, how did this get projected and extrapolated to I'm not only petty but now I'm also against effective action like fighting urban sprawl (which is the real reason we need cars in first place).

Also, my fundamental issue is that the rich will dodge all that other stuff you want as well; the way they are already getting the bulk of green incentives and abusing carbon offsets (see, for example [1] and [2])

This is going to be a long and difficult journey with many, many steps. And at each step of the way, people who claim to be allies will be saying "don't be petty" and "this is but a distraction, the real solution is over here"

Picture a test that doesn’t involve any clicking of UI elements. That’s a start. So right there you’re avoiding the complexities of UI rendering, you just call the commands that are invoked by clicking directly.

Also, you can test frontend components together, and backend components together, but not cross the client-server boundary. Faster, more reliable.

That leaves a very small amount of e2e tests that you even want to write, and by that point I’m totally fine with manual smoke testing or automating them. But they’re the vast minority of tests.
