I noticed calls out to some Firefox URL with "normandy" (in pihole) which seems to be tied to FF experiments [1]

After going into about:config and searching Normandy, I learned I was opted into FF experiments without my consent and I had zero options to opt-out in the regular UI.

Agreed. I know almost a dozen actually cashflow-positive companies that want to take some investment in order to expand and can't get anyone to call them back.

The reason why there seems to be a "shortage of good companies" is because the VCs are all chasing the exact same very narrow niche formula.
I don't find it to be a workaround. The remote development stuff loads a bunch of projects and processes onto the remote host. I have some pretty small VMs that I run some older production servers in. Which is my principal use case for remote development.

Connecting to them this way brings them to their knees. That and seeing a host of new high memory processes doesn't give me warm fuzzies about the security risks on important remote systems.
I mean that really depends on `k`.

Disney's market cap is about $320B, and Netflix at about $280B. It isn't unreasonable to expect that YouTube would be valued at at least that if it were valued independently (Alphabet overall is $1.9T - YouTube as 15% of that value seems reasonable).

YouTube seems to be on track to overtaking Netflix this year in terms of revenue as well, if it hasn't already. [0]

Facebook created React to get notifications to show up in real time so you no longer needed to refresh the page.

It is being maintained and still actively used. The largest user, afaik, is Chia Network (https://www.chia.net) and they rely on that for the bulk of their internal and external community comms. If Zoom decides not to host the servers anymore I predict they will likely try to acquire it from Zoom or re-implement the server portion.

There is probably a profitable business to be built to implement an opensource version of the Keybase server that is backwards compatible with the client and then start charging enterprises a reasonable price for data storage and communications to host it in the cloud. Zoom is sitting on a potential gold mine and they are just letting it languish.

The flybys provide course changes for very little fuel, including pretty significant velocity boosts. It's not uncommon for a probe to spend a while ping-ponging around the inner system just to get enough speed to reach the outer planets. I doubt the probe has a whole lot of delta-v left once it leaves Earth the first time, probably just enough for course corrections so it can hit the flybys precisely.

Worth noting that the article itself doesn't seem to cover the blue light / sleep question except to link to this 2021 paper, which is fortunately in English!

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sleh.2021.03.005

Duraccio, K. M., Zaugg, K. K., Blackburn, R. C., & Jensen, C. D. (2021). Does iPhone night shift mitigate negative effects of smartphone use on sleep outcomes in emerging adults? Sleep Health, 7(4), 478–484.

Quotes from the paper:

> There were no significant differences in sleep outcomes across the three experimental groups. Post-hoc exploratory stratified analyses revealed a significant main effect of phone condition on sleep efficiency (P = .014) and WASO (P = .013) for participants averaging more than 6.8 hours of sleep per night, with the no phone condition demonstrating the best sleep outcomes.

In other words, if you want to sleep better, don't use your phone at night. My assumption is that any improvement in sleep due to a filter would be the result of dimming the screen, since changing the native color temperature of the screen limits its maximum light output and creates a dimming effect unless the brightness is increased to compensate.

> However, there is little evidence to support the use of short-wavelength light blocking devices, such as filtering glasses or the Night Shift function, to improve sleep quality in healthy populations, although there may be a small benefit for people with insomnia.
The objectivist philosophy is born out of one of the oddest worldviews I've ever encountered. At once compelling; those who work hard and make things work are right to wield the fruits of it, yet also seems to be foolishly naive; power is not conferred legitimacy by it's own existence, but rather in how much it lubricates the efficient functioning of the other edifi around one. The powerful are as much accidental fortune aggregators as they are victims of the situations of the microcosms of the world around them.

Rand rejects the obligation of the Atlas to the World. Despite the fact that without the world, there is naught to recommend or even honor the Atlas for. Rand also, and justifiably, I think, highlights the alieness of an Atlas's thinking to those that do not naturally aspire to it.

The great paradox of Atlas Shrugged is this:

If you can do, do so and reap the fruits. Do as thou wilt, but complain not when the world's turning goes not in your favor. Eventually it won't, and it will destroy you.

Edward Snowden didn't need hundreds of millions to billions of dollars to do the right thing. Of course there should be some kind of compensation for potential loss of income but offering 50-1000x someone's annual income (10-30% of the fine) creates an incentive to present the facts in the way that maximizes the payday rather than the public good.

I encourage everyone who liked Keybase to add a comment to this issue to support opensourcing the server portion of Keybase.

Hopefully if enough people make their voices heard Zoom will either opensource it or maybe revive development of it.
Thank you for commenting to ask your question, Hacker News does have many skilled people around from a variety of backgrounds including embedded systems! So your question is related.

The Edit feature is also very useful, and I often go back to add more details, like you added the (~$1) afterwards. In future, please can you write "Edit" when doing that? It appears that duskwuff has been downvoted, because they assumed that "cheap" meant for a personal hobbyist level, not a professional mass-produced level, and now their comment makes less sense because Arduino & RPi are more expensive than $1. Please do continue to use the Edit feature, it's cleaner than writing a new comment! Just please keep in mind how that affects others.

As for me, I use Arduino, RPi, and ESP8266 for personal use, and NXP i.MX RT1050 chips at work, all of which are outside the price range, so there's not much more I can say. I imagine that the chip shortage is raising many prices these days though.

I don't know if it's cognitive dissonance, or some other phenomenon at play, but it seems to me like people in tech are unwilling to accept that the problems are systemic. Having a roster of mustache-twirling villains is convenient fiction, and having those companies punished/broken apart and calling it a day is doing something, but that doesn't prevent a different company from doing the same thing in a year.

There is a tension between wanting the government to do something - but not wanting it to do too much (lest it affects our stock options, or make our jobs harder? I don't know)

You would have to define "maintain". They won't just stay with the doctors. They want to be partying and doing more drugs, and will fight you if you get in the way.
Because Satoshi's identity and whether or not they were a singular individual or a group of individuals is unknown. It is entirely acceptable, and more often than not probabilistically and politically correct, to use they/them here.

I doubt anyone would be upset at people using he/him when referring to Satoshi, but also along those same lines, it seems strange to be upset at they/them usage for an unknown entity.

> During the initial run of [A Fish Called Wanda], a Danish audiologist named Ole Bentzen died while laughing during a screening, which led newspapers to report that he had died from laughter. The official cause of death was heart fibrillation, which may have been caused by an increased heart rate due to extended laughter. Cleese considered using the event for publicity, but ultimately decided it was in too bad taste.

do everything you'd need Linux for on your Windows machine.

I'm 100% convinced this is Microsoft's actual goal, and it's going to succeed very quickly at least on the desktop.
Then one day, when a good number of apps will conveniently require WSL to run properly, or to run at all, MS could build their own Linux distribution containing licensed parts of Windows (drivers for closed hardware, graphics libraries, etc.) de facto displacing the original Linux from every other field of application including embedded, automotive, industrial, etc.
Yes. If you Google “satoshi Stylometry” you’ll find a ton. IMO not very fruitful, there is other evidence that is more compelling. If you look around enough it’s easily to get a _pretty good_ idea of who it was, based on things like early interactions with satoshi, neighbors with unusual surnames, etc. but no way to know for sure.

No, don't group by content - group by people. Let the people decide which group they want to discuss things with.

> tank" controls where one stick rotated the character/camera and the other went forwards and backwards!

That's not tank controls. Tank controls is right stick controls the right side (tread), left stick controls the left side. To turn to the left, push left forward and right back. To go forward, push both forward. Impure tank controls allow for strafing, both sticks left moves you left, both sticks out or both sticks in does something special.

There were some games that did use two sticks to manage movement in other ways like you said though, but that wasn't tank controls.

Replies to that article mention Len's tweets about Bitcoin don't necessarily seem like those of its creator, if he was tweeting earnestly.

That, and his wife not believing he was Satoshi (while not claiming it was impossible) are the biggest counterpoints I've come across.

Still, I find it a very compelling case. Sassaman as part of a Satoshi collective also seems possible.

A heavy duty Blue Air? I’d stay away from the 605 unless your problem is really bad, they are just too loud. The newer ones are nice and quiet, though the ones they target at the western markets are much so than the ones that sell well in China (where air pollution is much more of a problem). You might want to start with measuring your indoor air quality.

I bought a air filter which takes a rectangular panel filter like a Filtrete FAP series. Then I replace the filter regularly by cutting HEPA panel filters sold at Walmart to size. It's a cheap way to keep air clean at home. The amount of gunk and black soot and dust stuck within and to the filters is amazing. I also tend to run the device at full speed, the noise helps me tune out disturbances and leads to peaceful sleep.
I’ve thought carefully about it for a long time. I still change my mind from time to time, but currently, the view is that we need to own the space before others do.

Suppose you had the option to help discover and design the first nukes. Would it have been better to refuse, and wait for Russia to design them? The early efforts were crucial.

If it were possible to ban AI weapons across all countries for the rest of eternity, I would of course refuse to work on them. But that’s a bit like designing a society with the assumption everyone will be honest.
Southwest Air Pilots Seek to Block Covid Vaccination Mandate
It’s depressing that criticisms of Facebook now seem to entirely be focused on them not shutting down speech.

At some point, the root issue with Facebook (as identified best by Jaron Lanier) has been lost in the political noise: their business model is one that incentivizes and enables the creation of a global scale surveillance and behavior modification empire. Getting angry that they are not removing content you feel is “dangerous” is the opposite of fixing this: it’s smuggling in the idea they ought to be presumed an arbiter of speech - that arbitration being the key lever of their toxic business model.

If we agree Facebook should be in a position to decide who gets to talk to whom in the modern public square, we are forced to agree they get to monetize that capability, which is their current business model.

Having lived in SF, their policies destroyed the city. Had to move out, even though I loved living in the city for more than a decade.

> officials don’t require medical treatment for addicts out of the belief that doing so is more ethically justified than jail and prison.

The root of the problem thinking jail and prison is always bad and nothing good comes out of it. Punishment can be good if you see it as a wake-up call for those that can easily make changes in their lives. Many people on the street are just there because they can, but we don't have psychological tools to assess this properly, so instead progressives think everyone has no agency or freewill and needs to be treated like they are unable to do anything about their own situation.

> offer drug treatment as an alternative to jail and prison

This should have always been the solution. I don't think they'll do any of this now. Especially after defunding the police.
I’m not aware of an analog for Integral control in standard bike/car suspension. Integral control is steady state loss minimization, and the precise steady state position isn’t a big deal for most suspension systems. An exception could be “air ride” suspensions, where once the driver has “keyed in” a 1’ clearance target, the car could adjust the air levels to maintain that despite changes in load (person gets in, car drops due to gravity, air pressure increases until 1’ clearance is regained). I am not sure if this is how such systems work in practice.

But yes, I couldn’t imagine a CS education without controls. My intro CS class in college explored controls in some depth and I took a follow up class. Some of the most incredible things I’ve created were control systems, and it’s one of the primary classes I think of when people ask about the merits of a college education.

I'm not a 10x. Ok, I'll concede that point. I'll be average for this conversation.

I know people who can just solve problems. If it takes me all day to solve something, I'll reach out to Ken and he'll say "oh, check this setting. It is probably X". Dennis has seen so many problems, he knows how I've tried to solve them and the solutions before I've finished describing what is going on.

If these guys solve something in 48 minutes that take others 8 hours, they are 10Xers.

But they are more than being "10x productive"; they solve problems that would otherwise not be solved. They get stuff done that other people would lose patience with before it is ever solved. And the best part: it isn't even HARD for them. When those guys rock, they do it with ease, they do it for FUN.

Sometimes I am a 10x programmer. Sometimes I spend 48 minutes solving a problem others work on all day before deciding it isn't possible. My goal isn't to "be a 10x programmer", my goal is to be "10x more often today than I was yesterday".
