We had a similar situation with cat food. The car was smelling like cat food, but we couldn't tell why, but when we took it in for servicing they found that the ventilation system was full of cat food. Turns out some small animal got into our extra bag of cat food in the garage, and decided it made more sense to store it in the car.
Linux kernel APIs are interesting. Couple days ago I was writing code which needs sendmsg/recvmsg. The manual page says this:

Ancillary data should only be accessed by the macros defined in cmsg(3).

The problem being, the code I was writing was in C# which can't consume C headers or evaluate these macros.

For all the focus that HN has on startups I still feel like the vast majority of threads I am reading sorely lack focus on business model.

Perhaps I am not reading the right threads, or I am not reading them deeply enough. Admittedly I tend to read most about technologies that I find interesting. But even when I try to keep an eye out for the business side of things I rarely see it.

The main things I know about covering this area of things are:

- YC Startup Library https://www.ycombinator.com/library

- YC Startup School https://www.startupschool.org/

- Actually applying to YC and, if you get accepted, getting guidance that way https://www.ycombinator.com/apply/

But beyond that, aside from a couple of sites that are sometimes posted and whose names escape me at the moment, I can’t think of any.

I wish people would pay me to write headlines like this.

How about this idea for an article:

"People who find baseball stadium chairs uncomfortable risk developing diabetes.
I like that I disagree with this. The thing about conservatives is they have an inbuilt notion of individual dignity that often precludes letting it get to the point where they are fired, or more plausibly, set up for some title IX slander campaign and a purge. (Sometimes I think Quillette doesn't publish anything else) The whole progressive ontology is centered on the continuity of a narrative and avoiding personal accountability, so nobody would actually fire him, they would contrive circumstances where they "had no choice," and that like them, he is merely subject to the inevitable forces of history and progress.

I can't defend all reactionaries, but there is no doubt that the logic of the idea behind inclusion is predicated on the very victim identity that an education is supposed to liberate students from. It's not intended to improve the lives of people in our respective nations, it's designed to subvert and dissolve our civilization and subordinate it to directed chaos, the same way it did to Cambodia, China, and Russia, among others. These countries did not have rules for denouncing faith before graduation, instead, people were "free" to visit churches that were watched by secret police, and they would be added to a list so that the bureaucracy could get back at them invisibly. Keynesians won't be purged because they are used to justify MMT, and so they are necessary to sustain the current narrative. They can be replaced with party members in the next purge anyway.

The mistake I think he made was believing the system he came out of still had any integrity or was rules based. The universities have been converted into a single party system of rule without accountability, and they have diminishingly little to do with education at all. This is what he didn't get, and what everyone tacitly acknowledges, and it appears he thought they still sent memos about when the rules were nullified.
No. But it hasn’t been looking good for carriers in war games/modeling exercises. China’s ASBMs might work today against a CSG or they might not (they need good targeting and maybe ABM systems can handle); but I’d analogize the US carriers of today to the 68030 and China’s ASBMs to the 386, where 68030 is probably a better chip but one side has a clear route to a Pentium, the other doesn’t, and economies of scale are in play, too.
From my understanding, the primary benefit of the Hypersonic Missile over the ICBM is not the speed of payload delivery, but the amount of warning given to the target. An ICBM needs to ascend 100s of kms, thus enabling it to be detected by very far away radar systems. Those same radar systems that would be over the horizon at the lower altitudes within the atmosphere. Launching an ICBM almost immediately announces to the world "I am launching a nuclear warhead", thus enabling countermeasures to be readied, and a retaliatory strike to be launched. The time between this warning and the strike is indeed small (measured in 10s of minutes), but that's much more time than a hypersonic missile gives.

As you have recognized:

> Plus, women are more likely to leverage recourse to law enforcement (instead of physically beating a stalker)

Isn't the issue then that your business model is competing with law enforcement, which has far greater resources and the ability to levy criminal penalties against stalkers and hackers? I'm struggling to see why a woman would want to pay for some random app versus preserving the evidence intact and presenting it to law enforcement for use in civil or criminal proceedings.

The other issue is that if they do manage to come up with a successful approach, there's nothing stopping Google and Apple from integrating a similar solution into the OS, with more engineers and privileged access to the underlying system.

It's an interesting idea, but I can understand the lack of VC enthusiasm.

This comment doesn't make any sense. I especially curious about this though, if anyone has any real information:

> People may love cars, but they generally hate owning cars because the industry is pretty horrible when it comes to servicing and repairs of ICE cars.

I dont have an electric car.
My gut feeling is that electric cars are far more likely to have some kind of mandatory or almost mandatory SaaS component to them that finds a way to keep you paying more to the manufacturer and only getting service done at manufacturer affiliate locations. Am I wrong?

With a "regular" car, I never have to interact with the dealer again once I buy it. I know they hate that, and want to find ways to turn me into an annuity, but for basic cars there is still a great ecosystem of independent garages that can work on it.

All this is a long way of saying one reason I dont want an electric car is because i expect it's a license for the dealer / manufacturer to gouge me over the duration of my ownership. Can I get a Tesla or any other mainstream electric car serviced at any local garage?

(And I dont care about the "there's less service" argument, what matters to me is choice.)

Lol. Forgive me for laughing at the wordplay of "uncanny valley".

> America’s top adversary

By what definition of adversary is China America’s top adversary?
I can't speak for the author or to popular anti-China narratives in the U.S., but from a traditional geopolitical perspective China poses a threat because of territorial claims independent of Taiwan, most importantly its claims over the South China Sea. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spratly_Islands_dispute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_disputes_in_the_So... Those claims pose a grave threat directly to global shipping and to regional fishing and mining rights, and indirectly to the largely peaceful maritime waters status quo globally.

Over the past decade China has also been making increasingly brazen land grabs along and near the Indian border. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Indian_border_dispute and, most recently, https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/05/07/china-bhutan-border-vil... Relative to the South China Sea that's slightly less of a concern geopolitically (ignoring the potential for another full blown war between India and China), but does evidence China's actual (not simply rhetorical) aggression.

Finally, North Korea is a protected state of China. The only reason North Korea has nuclear weapons is because China prevents military and, to a lesser degree, economic retaliation. China permitting North Korea to develop and possess nuclear weapons is a violation of China's role as a nuclear super power, especially in light of the proliferation risk North Korea poses. By contrast, the U.S. killed Taiwan's nuclear program the moment it was discovered, and strongly opposed both the Israeli and Pakistani programs up until they were already an accomplished fact. (Note that the U.S. had far more leverage with Taiwan--it could threaten to retract its defense umbrella, which would have passively permitted immediate Chinese invasion--whereas with Israel and Pakistan the only viable options would have required direct retaliation.)

Foreign policy and military analysts in the U.S. and, I would assume, China understand that the global economic tussle between the U.S. and China are distinct from the geopolitical security issues. (Strongly related, of course, but the calculus nonetheless significantly different.) The masses and certain political factions in each country don't tend to draw such distinctions, though.

I'm surprised that there's only one other person in this thread discussing the possibility that this is a deliberately coordinated release of information by the military. I've never worked for the US military, however I doubt that if you're working in close proximity to classified hardware they just let you loose with a smartphone in your hand. The person filming this would surely have been easily identifiable, and subsequently punished. Even the most ignorant civilian contractor would surely have understood the full ramifications of their actions doing this. I think it seems to contrived.
Thank you. The one sided view we typically see on this, while in m supporting my views on paying people what they are worth, often glosses over that this isn't evil fat cat monopolists with monocles trying to keep the man down in all these cases.

Entire business models or industries may no longer be viable without major pricing changes throughout the solid k supply chain, which will ultimately give the consumer sticker shock.

It's a hot mess. Doesn't mean drivers shouldn't get paid more, but also doesn't mean it's pure selfish capitalism on behalf of those hiring them.
Well, there's a slight difference between "flying these things for real testing" and being carted around on a flatbed where yahoos with a smartphones are around to take videos and post them.

Presumably, if it actually requires some level of security clearance, either it should have been covered for transport, or the yahoos with smartphones should have been cleared of the area to at least reduce the chance of something silly like this.

Not a whole lot you can do if you need to fly it and it's going to be in or around public areas, nor much you can do about satellite imagery, but that doesn't mean ignore all opsec.
I used XSB as a component for a project. As the page correctly states, the two main draws of this system are Hilog and good support for tabled execution. If you don't need those features I would pick another system. At the time of writing, the tooling, documentation, and support for XSB are not that great. Other systems like SWI or Scryer are probably better.
The whole thing makes no sense either. If it was some top secret shit, it wouldn't be carried uncovered in the open like that. I'm sure chinese satellites are probably filming all military bases 24/7 already and probably have much higher resolution view of whatever that truck was carrying.

> Gambling seems to have passed its peak some years ago, both in terms of opportunity and social acceptability.

I'm not sure if you live in the US, but it's only gaining traction here in the States. It's becoming more socially accepted, widespread, and losing its stigma. Whether betting on the spread on sports games, betting on specific players' performances, season outcomes, or especially, fantasy sports.

You can't watch an NFL game for ten minutes these days without seeing an ad for DraftKings, FanDuel, MGM (lots of their ads this year), etc., so if you think gambling has passed its peak, I wonder if you don't watch much sports and it may not be targeted at you.

My wife and I were careful in our younger days, using margarine instead of 'that nasty butter'. That was until we went to France and lived there for 8 months.

We saw that the French used lots and lots of butter in their cooking, but were generally not as obese and appeared to live longer and healthier. We changed our views, and started using butter again. That was 10 years ago.

(Butter also tastes better, and doesn't cause as many problems with bowels.)

I'm intrigued by your reply, but admittedly I don't understand some of what you're saying...

As for the captchas, I have noticed some obviously (poorly) AI-generated images... vehicles with really warped wheels (like the ears of some AI faces), and other tell-tale signs of unreality.

But expanding on this general idea, we all have built in concepts of beauty and sex and coupling. Can this be distilled to some essence which could be represented in very non-human ways but still produce the same emotional response?

A horny man (and from what I read, a horny woman also) can project sexual imagery over even the most mundane objects and movements. A piston in an engine? A pressure valve in a hydraulic system? I'm being a bit absurd, but humans are quite good at pattern matching in strange situations.

If someone can figure out how to provide sexual stimulation without being considered pornographic, this could be ... I cannot think of an expression which would not be gratuitously sexual. It would be a big deal. Nope, that was a bit sexual. But you get the idea.

What blows my mind is that only 50% is spent moderating.

At some point the engineering work can be something approximating “done” (or should get asymptotically close to it), and the health of your platform ultimately rests a lot more on the quality of the community than on any particular technical project.

What is engineering doing that it takes up as much person-hours as moderation? Running A/B tests to tweak the “try the app” dialog?

My approach to dealing with this comes from Neil Fiore's The Now Habit [0] and Stephen Pressfield's The War of Art.

Fiore -- decouple any self-judgment or self-validation from your work and its results, and stay focused on the task itself and why you want to finish it. "Lower the board" (see the link [0]) and avoid pressure messages to yourself like "have to" or "should" and focus on rational choices by committing to a schedule of your choosing that intentionally includes "unscheduled" time to relax and recharge.

Pressfield -- anthropomorphizes the concept of "Resistance" as an enemy that needs to be respected as formidable and systematically destroyed. It comes in many forms -- for you it seems like it calls itself "Anxiety" and is possibly attempting to transform you into a pod person. It is merciless and comes from both within and without. But once you can identify its attempts to derail you, you can approach the war with discipline, structure, and professionalism, and thus choose your battles with it intelligently, recognizing Resistance for what it is -- the hodgepodge collection of bricks forming the last wall between you and the choice to become who you already know you are.
