I thought Google Glass would kick off a wearable revolution, even if only in workplaces (mostly blue-collar).

Obviously I was very wrong.

I didn't predict that:

1) people would instantly recognize it as a camera that might be recording at any time and be infuriated by that

2) Google would prove itself to be so shockingly bad at product development and marketing
It's understandable that people want wireless control. When most software is proprietary/web-based, the easiest local solution is streaming mp3s via bluetooth.

Thanks!

There were a couple of interviews with gaming magazines years ago. They would be hard to find today and didn't cover the topics you mentioned. Mike, Kevin, and I, really need to get together to tell the story some day.
I stopped taking them seriously when they wrote - “ I saw that it complained that the .stfolders did not exist. So I went ahead and created them, but by mistake, I created empty text files instead of empty folders. Did not realise it and left it to work in the background.”

First, backups! Never trust any software to not have a bug.

Secondly, if you don’t know what you are doing, may be don’t create random config files and hope the software deals with it. That’s in the “neither power user, nor dumb user” category that most software will not be designed for.

> There's also faith in humanity and its capacity to renew itself throughout the cycles of civilization.

One piece of trivia that really puts this in perspective is that around 70000BC a supervolcano event reduced the world human population to a few thousand people [0] and yet surprisingly here we are!

Irrespective of all the dire future prospects it really will take a lot for us as Humans to go extinct. I find that thought somewhat conforting.

> The only numerical linear algebra related to machine learning, in particular deep learning, is matrix multiplication

I suspect the OP is not talking about how deep nets are implemented, but rather how people are trying to understand how and why they work so well, or how to reverse-engineer knowledge out of a trained net, or how to train them faster, etc ...

In that space, you need quite a bit more than matrix multiplication.

Hi Sam,

I just sent you an email using the contact form on your site, but I realized I should probably also write here. Your Twitter url isn't working, and you might also want to add your email address to your profile so people without Twitter have a way of contacting you.

That said, nice site, I'll check it out. :)
I was just about to write about the game, too. What a brilliant game it was.

I just made the connection between the title of the second game (Smoking mirror) and the plot when reading the article. I remember that I found the name of the game a bit odd. No wonder, when I did not realize that this is actually the name of the Aztec god Tezcatlipoca.

> - Have _opt-in_ client side anticheat detection. If you have this enabled, then you're exempted from the server-side detection. So, you enable this if you're actually good.

This is how it works in ARMA for instance (not sure if opt-in or opt-out though), the players can decide whether to install/uninstall the game's anti-cheat solution on their machine, and the people running the servers can decide whether they require the anti-cheat-solution to be installed. Since I almost never venture into multiplayer anyway, the decision for me was simple (uninstall the anti-cheat software).

> - Implement server-side anticheat detection,

This only works for "real" client/server games, not peer-to-peer games which usually only use centralized servers for matchmaking and some other non-gamplay-services.
> Was he the one who kickstarted X Prize or SpaceshipOne 20 years ago?

SpaceshipOne's design was a stroke of genius for the purpose of winning a narrowly defined contest. It is, however, a deadend when it comes to the pursuit of space travel: it can't even reach the Kármán line, let alone do any space travel (which requires orbital speeds at the very least), because it doesn't scale up.
Why would it come down on Amazon? They’re not writing fake reviews. Fake reviews are commissioned by sellers of shitty products. Sometimes to their competitors in false flag operations.

I have a small side project (a Google Docs plugin) that makes a trickle of money. One of my competitors launched one day and somehow they had 10 5-star reviews already, but the gSuite marketplace said they had only 3 users. One of those users had the same name as the author, but wrote their review as if they'd just stumbled upon it that day. Another literally had the name "Fiverr User" on their Google account next to their review.

I think this has become so common that many people assume it's a necessity of doing business. Maybe it is. Since I don't depend on my project to survive, I choose not to do these things, or even to give discounts to incentivize reviews. Many platforms don't care at all, and don't even try to combat fake reviews.

EDIT: Another thing worth mentioning: the natural review rate for these plugins is really low. Maybe half a percent of users leave any kind of review, at least in my experience.
> As we didn't want to sell this CPU after the torture I had put it through we decided to use it for a display box instead

Why? What you did is basically a burnintest. All manufacturers torture their hardware by locking it in a hot room for several days at max speed to see if it fails. The basic theory is that if it's able to survive the torture test, then it's less likely to fail once it's been sold to the customer. Parts for things like space missions go through even more severe torture tests, where they're bombarded by radiation and every horrible thing you can imagine and that actually makes the price go up!
I really like reading through a post that can make people think. Also, many thanks for permitting me to comment!

Doesn't this description fit to every religion? It isn't like any of those are founded on rationality or empiric observations.
By search engine deals with not-Google companies (privacy friendly engines, Bing, etc.) and from their founder. I don't remember how many users they needed to be at break even, but they're not there as far as I know.
This is just an accident waiting to happen. If they can't identify cheats on the server side then I highly doubt that they are able to engineer this in such a way that it does not have negative security implications.
Exactly!

It was kind of a demonstration.

I appointed myself “moderator” for a moment and highlighted one thing you said and decided to suggest you that you could spread misinformation.

Not cool indeed!

What if you got shadow banned instead or your account banned for this misinformation?

They can’t be that worried - the bug that allows you to input behind the lockscreen on OS X has now been a thing for… six years, over three or four versions of macOS? I’ve reported it, but they each time said it was a feature, not a bug.

Damn strange feature that allows me to compromise any screen-locked mac.
> Loyalty does not exist (company, coworkers, etc)

I can't quite call myself a veteran engineer yet, but loyalty and positive relationships with coworkers is a huge boon. I agree that companies will often screw you. Manager and policies can change in an instant and they only look out for their self interests.

But coworkers? Find great coworkers that you work well with and you will always have job opportunities. If a coworker jumps ship to another company, it's likely because the pay and benefits are better. Now I have an "in" for a referral plus insight into how the company operates and how I'll get along with the team.

I do agree with all the other points though.
> Lag is never an issue for me

Is that because you have extremely good latency to the VM or because delays while typing don't bother you? Just wanted to clarify as latency (especially over VPN) is what keeps me away from these solutions.
If only network connectivity had scaled up as remarkably as CPUs did over the years, we could all be hosting services from our home machines in true peer to peer manner. Distressingly though ISPs are reinforcing the client-server model by asymmetric bandwidth, blocking ports, forcing customers to purchase business plans for static addresses and so on. All technically unwarranted, purely user-hostile behaviour.
Nowadays employers aren’t interested if you’re over 40. They definitely won’t keep on employees past 65 even if there is a shortage of workers.
I should preface I'm a solo-founder with a few side-projects(nothing big). Thus you have to usually make due with "just good enough" and move on to the other 10 tasks awaiting you.

My deploy script (it's just 5-10 lines of bash) mostly for some of my "old" angularjs(yes v1)

1) merge all js files (cat file.js >> app.js)

2) make sure any files that request/include JS and HTML files are not cached (generate new random ?rcc=random-num)

find -type f | egrep "html|js" | xargs sed -Ei s/"rcc=([0-9]+)"/rcc=$RANDOM/g

3) ssh-copy over to server

Sexy ? Absolutely not , does it work ? Like a dream :)

Having the ability to just type "./deploy-aws.sh" and be done in 5 sec is an amazing ability to have for you project. Especially if you are SOLO founder.

Clean Code (Summary)
Ask HN: Is there value in talking to investors as a bootstrapped company?
I've been running a profitable bootstrapped B2B company for a few years now. Growth is better than ever, staff is growing, business is well. This is the first company I've ever started.

Over the last year or so, the frequency at which VCs and private equity firms (their partners as well as the typical analyst emails) reach out increased, and I'm not sure how to best handle them.

We're not looking for investment and I'm ignoring most of these emails, but every now and then an email stands out and we have a chat. I'm upfront about not looking for investment, and they're interested in "building a relationship" and "staying in touch". We chat about their investment approach, I tell them why our company is the best at what we do, we chat about the industry a bit and then part ways after 30 minutes.

I thought after a few dozen calls like this over the year I'd start to see something I can get out of them. But I don't even know where to start.

So I need advice. Is building relationships meaningful at this stage to have a leg up if we decide to raise funding in 2-3 years? Is there more I can get out of these calls? How are other founders who aren't fundraising handling this?

Thanks!
The problem with design patterns is that it's far too easy to "apply existing solutions" to problems that don't exist.

Design patterns can definitely be useful, but only when used sparingly and if they really are the simplest solution to the problem. When applied just for the sake of "best practices" without really looking at the problem, all they do is create a new problem.

Only way to do that which I am aware of is a type of cryptocurrency.
All your payments data is aggregated, correlated across different providers, repackaged and resold on such a massive scale that any notion that you have any privacy left is sadly very quaint.
It also doesn't include type checking for typescript. It just transpiles sources to javascript
Certainly not in the case of Tschernobyl or Fukushima in particular.

And to try and project the risk from accidents that happened so far is just foolish. The risk is really not computable because the chance is small (fat tail) and the consequences catastrophic. Additionally proponents want/need to scale up nuclear power (and thus the risk) by orders of magnitude to make a dent in carbon emissions.

And then, on top of all that, any small amount of actually bad intentions or simple incompetence throws off all the careful risk calculations.
Thanks for your constructive suggestions!

My problem with GrapheneOS is that only Pixel devices are officially supported, which makes it a very tight use case in my point of view.

That isn't really true. Adding things like image width and height attributes are basic essentials for any content drive website. If you push new content regularly then an RSS feed is very useful for visitors. If you want to be found in Google then you need a sitemap.

If you're not going to do the absolute minimum for your site's users why bother making a site in the first place?
Nice job :)

I don't completely agree about Jekyll (it can be very light weight, requiring zero Ruby unless you need to extend things), but rolling your own solution for a personal home page is always nice.

Neither study is a safe default as that would mean there would be an abundance of people that actually finished studying physics or computer science. The internet might heavily distorts reality here.

The standard academic career of today is still economics and chosen by men and women in rather similar amounts. I heard some guys saying they chose economics for the girls, but I think this is an edge case...

It is true that few men go into teaching and few women into computer science. But I don't think you should force people or even worse, attest discrimination.

Surprisingly mostly men get implicated, so much about sexism, so I also would dispute this comment:

> Right now we are often accidentially prefering less qualified people just because they are white or men

I don't believe being white nets you anything, on the contrary.

Educated parents are indeed a huge advantage but that certainly isn't for the "system" to fix, even if it could do that somehow.
> Secondly, if you don’t know what you are doing, may be don’t create random config files and hope the software deals with it.

This sounds like a variant of the old "you're holding it wrong" blurb.

The problem you're commenting on actually describe a multitude of problems with the application, specially how it causes data loss if it's config happens to get corrupted.

The comment about the need to back up data also seems to not take into account that the service is already used to back up data across multiple devices.
It starts with the Singleton and vaguely hints that it has some drawbacks. Why start with that, then? And why not flat our recognise that it is understood more as an anti-pattern these days?

I don't get blogs like these. This story has been told a million times with more or less the same content and structure.
> The chip shortage

I agree that this is the time to shout loud about the need for reparability, But an average consumer doesn't even know that manufacturers from automobile industry to consumer electronics are silently switching their internals due to the chip shortage[1].

Yet still the automobile industry is way better in terms of reparability, 1950s Mercedez Benz, Porsche can still get official parts and yes they're luxury products but tech media calls the consumer electronics brand which sells >$1000 phone as luxury brand too; May be it's just for aspiration porn but if I drop a minute old $1000 phone and it goes to garbage because it cannot be repaired its not luxury it's garbage.

Ghee is just butter reduced to almost pure fat. I just like the taste of butter and always have, and the taste comes from many things in the butter that get removed. I'm not sure you can spread ghee since it's very solid (although possibly when it warms up you can, I just never tried it).
My Wordpress sites have minimal plugins (hence minimal JS and CSS) and run via a VPS and using Litespeed Enterprise, and they're almost as fast as static sites - but with 100x the ease of use and power.

Heck, my Wordpress blogs are faster than when I had static sites on shared hosting.
Unfortunately, my colleagues and me had the displeasure to look at that distinction between timestamp and timestamptz in Postgres very deeply.
All that is written above is correct from my understanding, but it is not the complete picture. Even in the case of a column of type `TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE`, the Postgresql JDBC driver may convert time to UTC if your session time zone is not UTC. I write "may" because it depends on whether the binary protocol or the text base protocol is used and that depends on whether prepared statements are actually used between the Postgres client library and the server.

We had the requirement to store dates and times coming it without changing them at all cost, but still using the space efficient epoch format. And we didn't know the time zone of the time when we had to store it.
Before the internet you went to the shop and you could actually touch the product, try on clothes, use sporting goods, see how this laptop feels and how fast it works.

Sure, if you were going to a store. Catalogs were popular for many decades (if not a full century or more). I definitely remember my parents ordering from JCPenny and Sears catalogs: Music catalogs (near scams) let you buy music you might not hear. I've personally had catalogs for jewelry making supplies before the internet got adequate and safe enough to order from.

And you realistically just had to hope it was good enough. You probably didn't have reviews at all and just had to hope to trust the company or brand - but lets be real, you didn't always have this. Returns either meant driving to a physical store or spending some time on the phone before going to the post office to return.
Work on esbuild started at the start of 2020. It is primarily authored and maintained by Evan Wallace, who, in addition to making this tremendous contribution to the JavaScript ecosystem, is the CTO and co-founder of Figma. Incredible output.
I think one of the best things I've done is try a lot of different jobs. Wide experience on how different companies approach problems can really make you a super-generalist. It also keeps your tech fresh as you will learn lots of different skills / stacks at each job.
Employment can rise if the higher wages attract more workers. Also, giving people who don't have enough money will make them spend more money leading to an net increase in aggregate demand vs giving it to the shareholders. Finally, it's entirely possible that inflation simply adjusts the economy upwards so that the minimum wage ends up being the smallest wage that the economy can support.

E.g. the smallest wage that is economically viable is $10/h and Biden raises it to $15/h. There would be 50% inflation at the bottom which would shrink income inequality because the rich don't get a 50% boost in income.

I think you're misunderstanding what Wordpress's static site generator plugin does. It bakes the WP content in to static HTML files that the server (eg nginx) then serves to the user. Website visitors never hit any part of WP. It's only there for the admin and editor. You can serve the static files from a different server infrastructure (say, an S3 bucket) with a little work.

In other words, it does precisely what you're saying it should do.
