I think it could be just Frequency Illusion for your case. I think stories about "how I screwed up" has been always popular on the internet.

This is one of the reasons Ethereum is so important. It creates a common foundation that no single company owns.

I think that situation is somewhat absurd. People in general don’t think sex between consenting adults is wrong, so why is it suddenly when money is exchanged? And, at least, Sweden still has the law that any form of procurement of prostitution is illegal, which means it is still impossible for a prostitute to for example legally pay a guard, or even use the money to pay rent.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. But as nixpulvis said, the clock doesn't remove the local times and replace them with UTC. That's not the idea. The clock actually brings the best of both local times and UTC together in one clock. Local times are here to stay with UTC. What the clock is that it maps them together by rotating the UTC layer (in letters) so the reading of time is the same everywhere for everyone.

I hear you on waking time. For that I've build the "Meeting Time" feature that makes sure to find the best time for a meeting for different locations where it's a good time to meet for everyone. For example, the best time to have a meeting between San Francisco, New York, London, and Berlin is between P-R baring in mind that the clock makes sure that the meeting is between 8am and 19 (7pm) for everyone. And this is all configurable :) You can also share the link of the meeting time as this one https://thehtime.com/intersect?locations=USA+-+San+Francisco...

Happy to hear your thoughts on this feature.
I think what I find amusing is the author essentially outlined an argument for Sinek's Start with Why premise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ZoJKF_VuA

Albeit it sounds like you don't get to shape the questions you're asked. But I'm willing to bet you can bend your answers towards the specific pain point that prompted them to start this project (their niece). Then go on to what you're app does, then the TAM.

And this is coming from someone who isn't a huge fan of Sinek either..

*Edit - I'm curious from those who've been through YC if my idea about bending your answers actually has any merit in your experience?
The populist party almost won! I wonder if its loss made everyone disillusioned about breaking the two-party system, and the individual person's re-affiliating with one of the other parties are what "switched" what the Democrat and Republican parties represented.
To answer your second question, very likely. Microsoft would have zero luck populating their own Android store from scratch. It's a win-win for both companies as they're playing second fiddle to the Google Play Store and maybe even the Samsung store. Attracting developers to submit apps requires a large market.

Studies have shown that the more 'detached' one is from the actual act of violence, the easier that violence is to commit. All you have to do is look at domestic violence homicides in other similar countries to see that introducing guns to domestic disturbances is a recipe for people going to the morgue instead of the hospital.
File system access being one of the main reasons to put a web app in Electron, this could be a move toward the more lightweight future that some on HN have been clamoring for
So we have come full circle, and you are basically restating my original thesis.

Government created corporations, corporations are not a free market invention. With out government there can be no corporations as they are simply a fictitious legal entity created by government for the purposes of liability protections, and investment

You seem to have this impression that Corporations hate regulation, this is false, I mean hell Amazon, Facebook, even Google has BEGGED for regulations at various points because the know it kills competition in the market.

But yes, keep blaming capitalism for problems created by government, I am sure more government will solve those problems....
And you have BASIC! I had this on the original system, and it came with a special controller. How can I type on your emulator?
Part of snoring is low frequency sounds, which even with fully plugged ears, transmits through bone conduction.

also long term use of ear plugs with sleeping can cause unwanted side-effects.

When we sleep our hearing system does not turn off (safety), and when you wear ear plugs while sleeping you run the risk of making your hearing work harder - and then if you have no plugs in your hearing system is now (hopefully temporarily) more sensitive than before.
> is there any doubt that Moderna and Pfizer have recouped their costs many, many times over already?

For VC you need to get ~30x return from one company invested in to break even. Assumptions: 1 in 10 investments successful, 10 years, 12% per annum return needed by investors to cover variance (between returns of their different VC investments - risk vs reward). https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/01/the-meeting-that-showed-me...

I am guessing that greenfield pharmaceuticals is a more risky investment than tech VC, so perhaps a 50x return is fair. In a situation where there is massive consumer surplus (years of life), then an even higher multiple is probably fair.

Most people just don’t understand how much return is necessary to cover the high risk of failure. Of course, if they were mostly funded by government with no-strings-attached money, or the expected timeframe to success was very short, then the expected returns look a bit different.

Disclaimer: I hate big pharma as much as the next guy, but I try to think rationally.

Edit: anyone have a link to a calculation of consumer surplus in $ for the vaccination? To avoid a 1:10 chance of losing IQ (brain fog) or my sense of smell or a 1:1000 chance of death, I would expect that to be worth a lot to me.
I was influencer only until 2013 when I took over engineering, so I’ll take some blame for desktop, especially from then till I left.

Mozilla bungled Firefox OS after I left, lost Andreas Gal and most of the top talent, lost Li Gong, while KaiOS based on same code and business plan, with some of the talent, took over and grew to over 200M phones. Blame Mozilla there.

I had nothing to do with the switch to Yahoo. That deal was a gleam in someone else’s eye and I left before it was done.

Last thing: how did not-me leadership do after I left, and I started Brave and grew it to 40M users while Firefox lost over 50M? You may dislike me, but your fantasy blame game cannot excuse Mozilla outcomes lately.
There isn't much support if any in open source tools, if free means free software.

I'm a regulatory lawyer (but I have no experience with export controls) and I can't decipher the rule either. I actually wonder how anyone is able to confidently draft and revise such a long document with so many complex cross-references:

> License Exception ACE eligibility is added for 5E001.a (for 5A001.j, 5B001.a (for 5A001.j), 5D001.a (for 5A001.j), or 5D001.c (for 5A001.j or 5B001.a (for 5A001.j)). License Exception STA conditions is revised to remove eligibility for 5E001.a (for 5A001.j, 5B001.a (for 5A001.j), 5D001.a (for 5A001.j), or 5D001.c (for 5A001.j or 5B001.a (for 5A001.j)) to destinations listed in Country Groups A:5 and A:6 (See Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR for Country Groups). License Exception TSR is revised to remove eligibility for “technology” classified under ECCN 5E001.a for 5A001.j, 5B001.a (for 5A001.j), ECCN 5D001.a (for 5A001.j), or 5D001.c (for 5A001.j or 5B001.a (for 5A001.j)).

It's like a logic puzzle.

Edit: Looking at this random paragraph again and it seems they're missing a few closing parens so maybe the answer to how they confidently draft and revise these documents is... they don't.

I would agree if I thought this would create a significant market disturbance - but I would assume the impact of a few more competing vax manufacturers will be extremely minor.
At that point, you probably don't care about the name of the struct. You just have a named tuple, where the type of the tuple should encode the names and types of the fields.
No, fuck off. I want my code running against my own cpu so I know what is going on. Thanks.
A company could do that, but what advantage is there to doing that over simply keeping stage A a secret? By patenting stage A, you are awarded a temporary monopoly over stage A but also giving competitors a head start to reverse engineer stage B. By not patenting stage A, you don't get the temporary monopoly, but you also don't publicize anything about stage A that would give competitors the head start on stage B. So it's the same tradeoff that always exists with patents.
There is no hardware in the M1's for x86 emulation. Rosetta 2 does on the fly translation for JIT and caches translation for x86_864 binaries on first launch.

Docker for Mac runs a VM, inside that VM (which is Linux for ARM) if you run an x86_64 docker image it will use qemu to emulate x86_64 and run Linux Intel ELF binaries as if they were ARM.

That means that currently using Docker on macOS if there is a native ARM version available for the docker image, it will use that, but it can and will fall back to using x86_64 docker images.

That already works as-is. There is no hardware emulation though, it is all QEMU doing the work.
That is the exact opposite of my experience.

Outside of UI components which MSFT is getting to, they’ve worked very hard to make the transition as easy as possible.

If anything, the backwards compatibility has led to making some things worse, IMO, e.g. switching from the simple JSON based project file format they had to the XML based .csproj style one, which I’m pretty sure was done to be able to support .Net framework projects.
This is a similar feeling I got while reading the story.

> Well I thought that we'd spend a lot of time doing things together but that's not how it turned out. She's always in her room, and I'm always at work or doing my own thing.

Maybe she just doesn't enjoy his company anymore? People's relationships fall apart, and not much can be done. Maybe they are at different stages in their lives, and there's not much of a connection and need in each other anymore.

There's another comment up the chain, I thought of replying to it but deemed too off-topic. Why would Gen-Xers and Millennials would want to connect with each other in a social setting? I get the mentorship/work related networking/etc part, but other than that, why would those 2 groups talk to each other if they are not relatives?

Even being just a few years apart with your friends can be weird.

Sometimes it's better not to connect to each other.
that’s a less than good-faith interpretation of the point i made, which is that, to the first order, people are intrinsically motivated to explore, experiment, and create. that doesn’t preclude the existence or usefulness of extrinsic motivation (e.g., wages), or even the negative effects of bureaucratic gatekeeping.

It's interesting to contemplate some of these overlaps that don't normally come to mind. The Republic of Venice, for instance, was still a going concern, albeit on its last legs, when the United States was founded.
The research is about pinning the date down.
Listening to privileged successful and wealthy people has gotten boring. Everyone feels like they're a "creator" these days, and there are far more non-sophisticated and average people out there than the typical successful Silicon Valley characters.
Generation sample size: 1

There are many correlations for the last half century to try to latch onto, but there is a historical reality that continues to this day: they will outbreed you.

I wonder if there might be a way to map all these using t-SNE to discrete grid locations? Maybe even an autoencoder. I'd love to see what features it could pick out.

I don't see their data set though. hmmm.

As I recall, Sears also had their own Atari VCS console branded with the Sears name. Must have been a great licensing deal for Atari. Maybe I'm mis-remembering.
That was already the case a long time ago. We have now reached the stage where individual applications running in the browser can be an OS on their own – VS Code itself is a very good example.
Mozilla has been prioritizing activism while the main product that brings the cash in falls behind. If the current trend continues, Mozilla will cease to exist. In a normal company, it should be focused on fixing this ASAP, but Mozilla seems contend continuing as is.

Does anyone know who actually controls the direction of the organization? How are the board members chosen/elected? Is there a way for the general public to pick other board members?
So Moderna has to make a sacrifice and nobody else does?

See why that's unfair?

I'd say it's even worse given that this was their blood, sweat, and tears. An evenly applied tax would be fairer, but you're picking on the winner here and choosing for them to be dismantled. That discourages "winning". It's a very bad objective function.

The founders clearly believe they're worth more than 100B or they'd have sold out already. They have huge ambition. To cure cancers and other ailments.

It seems to me that you think the world can steer this innovation better. It's a very socialist approach. And again, I'm asking why hasn't the world solved this problem outside of capitalism? Why hasn't the WHO stepped up to the plate?
Risky. How can you distinguish between an intentionally set script and an attack?

Why can't HTML be composed client-side using proper, contextual APIs instead of "sanitizing" it afterwards? It won't work. It reminds me of PHP magic quotes - they didn't work.

We'd still need a sanitizer for URLs, of course, those are one of the pesky parts of the web specs.
Docker for Mac Desktop supports the M1 and uses an Linux VM that is ARM.

It is not using Rosetta 2 at all.
You want Google to direct you to the correct anchor on the page. That makes sense, Google should do that. The docs shouldn't be broken out to 1 page per method because Google likes to link to the top of the page instead of the relevant anchor tag.
Thank you. This is something the Civ5 designers should have known.
It would be really cool if you could share some of what you guys envisioned for the metaverse at that time and how developments in AR and VR since have lined up with what you foresaw vs diverged, etc.
There’s been loads of progress and some stuff has categorically improved the dev experience, but a lot of it is pretty chaotic churn (hello grunt, gulp, webpack, babel), and we are still missing out of the box UI tooling that shipped with Visual Studio like 20 years ago (MFC/VB forms). And let’s not even get started on the kind of stuff that was possible with Smalltalk.

The problem is much dev tooling is indeed so fragmented and mostly missing strategy or direction. It’s like a collective stream of consciousness that has a bunch of directions in mind.

I wonder if MSFT has the vision to reinvent some of the visionary dev tooling from the last century for the modern web. That would be really something.
The great reset
They sailed home to Greenland, presumably, and wrote about their adventures in sagas.

Unfortunately the indigenous peoples of Newfoundland (the Beothuk) were forced into starvation by the encroachment of European fishermen, so we don't have a lot of knowledge of their folklore or oral traditions.

That is a pretty interesting method for dating historical sites. I wonder how much it will change the records as future research is done globally.
> Did they integrate with existing Native Americans?

According to the article, no:

"The Icelandic sagas suggest that the Norse engaged in cultural exchanges with the Indigenous groups of North America. If these encounters indeed occurred, they may have had inadvertent outcomes, such as pathogen transmission, the introduction of foreign flora and fauna species, or even the exchange of human genetic information. Recent data from the Norse Greenlandic population, however, show no evidence of the last of these. It is a matter for future research how the year AD 1021 relates to overall transatlantic activity by the Norse. Nonetheless, our findings provide a chronological anchor for further investigations into the consequences of their westernmost expansion."

edit: re-reading this, they may have if they never returned to Greenland

Right. They're certainly not going to ban Google and Facebook from operating abroad, as a naive reading might suggest. The rules look so vague to me that it looks like just another way to justify the ruling US prez banning whatever he dislikes on a whim.

It would be great if Facebook announced an open platform that focuses on enjoyable experiences rather than a closed platform that misappropriates PII and pushes negative interactions in a misguided quest for engagement. I won't hold my breath though.

The value in VR is easy to see. Most kids I've seen that get to try out VR come out of it like a meth addict that wants to dive back in for the next high. It's insane.

I think VR has a huge natural appeal and Facebook will just buy everything so they can own an entire growth industry. They'll keep the HMDs locked down and will destroy all competition with anti-competitive practices while regulators continue to look the other way. The entire VR industry will end up reaching a fraction of it's potential, but it'll still be profitable for Facebook so everyone will consider it a success.

I'd pay to see MarkVR where once a month the community gets to vote to put Zuckerberg into a VR community on the Facebook platform and he live streams the experience for 1h. I think that's one way you can tell the difference between a visionary/enthusiast and someone that's just buying things they think will make money. One loves the idea of participating in the community they're building and wants to build a healthy community with enjoyable experiences. The other would do everything in their power to avoid it because making money is the only goal and it doesn't matter if the community and experiences are terrible. Which one do you think Zuckerberg is?
Tools support both, but the vast majority of companies are using (system) Verilog for design. VHDL shops do exist, but are rare.
I was curious so I did a Google Scholar search for the topic. It really does not appear like it was laughable 10 years ago, at least, not in the scholarly sense, given how easy it was to found counter-examples.

For example, "The Paradox of Meritocracy in Organizations" from 2011 at https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.2189/asqu.2010.55.4.... says:

> In this article, we develop and empirically test the theoretical argument that when an organizational culture promotes meritocracy (compared with when it does not), managers in that organization may ironically show greater bias in favor of men over equally performing women in translating employee performance evaluations into rewards and other key career outcomes; we call this the “paradox of meritocracy.” ...

> The main finding is consistent across the three studies: when an organization is explicitly presented as meritocratic, individuals in managerial positions favor a male employee over an equally qualified female employee by awarding him a larger monetary reward. This finding demonstrates that the pursuit of meritocracy at the workplace may be more difficult than it first appears and that there may be unrecognized risks behind certain organizational efforts used to reward merit.

> ... It may also be the case that not only merit-based practices but also meritocracy as a cultural value can serve as an “environmental trigger” (DiMaggio, 1997: 279) or be part of a “tool kit” of habits (Swidler, 1986: 273) that unleashes individual cognitive biases. Because employment decisions are made by managers embedded in organizational cultures, unintended adverse effects may result from employers’ efforts to reward merit or other practices meant to increase fairness in the workplace.

Or, "Unraveling the myth of meritocracy within the context of US higher education" from 2011 at https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10734-010-939... :

> A troubling effect of an uncritical view of meritocracy is that by not acknowledging there are greater structural social inequalities at play, there may be a tendency to view students who do not reach higher levels of educational attainment as having failed on their own terms (Karabel 2005; McNamee and Miller 2004; Young 2001).

Perhaps it's just taken this long for the conclusions of this field to become solid enough to influence the popular culture that you are more attuned to?

This is awesome. However, since it appears every certified airplane needs an STC to be able to use it, it doesn't seem likely that I'll be able to use it in our experimental aircraft any time soon. I can't imagine that our small FBO will switch from 100LL to G100UL as long as there are any airplanes around that can't use it.
