Ask HN: Best way to build Yelp for X?
Dear HN:

What's the best or fastest way to build a Yelp for X site?

This is for a geographically-oriented niche market where users would submit reviews of a particular type of service provider. It wouldn't be pure Yelp because this industry has some unique characteristics. But it would be pretty close.

We'd also need a discussion forum, also geographically-oriented. We might be able to create it using Discourse depending on how easily Discourse can be customized.

Is there a SaaS that can make this possible? Toolkits?

I could develop it from scratch myself, but it would take months and probably wouldn't be as good as what a third party would provide. Ideas?

One thing that drives me insane about modern neighborhoods is the instance in tearing down every damn tree... so you are left with endless unshaded lawn.

Part of the beauty of the USA is all its distinct regions and cultures.

Interestingly, studies have found that goods sell for more when they say, for example, "Made in Detroit," as opposed to "Made in the USA."

> more exactly on what "premise" (so to speak) we assign "goals" to the "reality" surrounding us, why do we assume there is an "utility", why do we assume there should be "goals"? Why should we instrumentalize said "reality" by seeing it through the prism of "utility" and "goals"?

We don't assume. It's just an empirical fact of our life that we have desires and goals. Don't you have desires and goals? I do.

This is an interesting idea. It reminds me of the Two-Truths Doctrine of Buddhism as interpreted by the Madhyamaka school. They believed that there was a provisional truth useful for doing doing daily stuff (like how you see Aristotle) and then an ultimate truth (like how you see the pre-Socatics.) I think there are monists in Western traditions who have similar views but I couldn't name any.

Rockets are one of the few things that cannot be electric thanks to Earth's deep gravity well. However it should be noted that:

1. Emissions from rockets are a tiny, tiny fraction compared to that from transportation and/or aviation

2. They have repeatedly stated that they are support a carbon tax that they would have to pay for using methane in their rockets

3. Their eventual plan is to scale up a CO2->CH4 plant based on the Sabatier process, something that can also be used on Mars for fuel production. However this technology is not mature yet to scale to the quantities currently required.

The MacBook Pro M1 Max can be ordered with either 32 GB or 64 GB of unified memory. The geekbench report shows 64 GB of memory (maxed), not sure why only 42.7 GB is usable by OpenCL--so I guess we have to assume that's the max, unless there's some software fix to get it up to 64 GB.
I agree, but FWIW I'm not claiming that volatile means "the compiler can't optimize this". This program would still function anyway even if the volatile is optimized out, so this is much more of a hint rather than a "this has to happen". A simple volatile store like this is also very unlikely to be optimized out, I don't know of any compiler that would attempt to do it and frankly it would break lots of stuff if it did (just because it can't be optimized out doesn't mean it can't cause other problems though). But when you get down to it trying to catch these use-after-free errors is never going to be guaranteed to work since as we've established use-after-free already breaks the standard itself. Still, using one of the various 'secure zero' APIs if you have one is definitely better, though the logic would need to be changed slightly.

> Having scripted demos that hide error messages is not really sketchy. It could be part of a fraud, or it could not, but it's not really telling.

They pricked investors fingers and implied that a Theranos machine would process the sample, but then they secretly ran the sample on a competitor's machine in another room:

> In demos of the company’s technology, investors would have their fingers pricked for testing alongside one of Theranos’ proprietary devices, but the actual test would be run in a lab away from prying eyes.

This would be the equivalent of a SaaS company setting up an API that just passed the calls through to a competitor's API, but then telling investors that their own platform was operational. You can run the pass-through API long enough to fake demos and raise money, but it's still fraud if you mislead investors to believe that you have the platform operational.

They weren't just hiding error messages or smoothing over rough edges. They were architecting fraudulent claims to investors.

>2. It's not a great selection mechanism. For example, they passed over some of my friends who, in my experience, are way smarter than me. Why? Well one had slight dyslexia, but he was a math genius. Another is a music and art genius, but she wasn't great at numbers. So we have people who would have benefitted from these programs, arguably both have a very high IQ, and yet this whole process left them feeling "less than". They had to sit in boring, sad reading class while us "enrichment" kids were putting on a production of Macbeth. If that's the kind of thing we were doing, why wasn't my artist friend invited? Because she couldn't do algebra in 3rd grade?

These are exceptions. Skills tend to be highly correlated at both the low and high end: people good at math also tend to be good at reading/writing. Also, many gifted programs may only focus on a single subject or are individualized, such as being accelerated in math but grade level at reading.

>1. First it ostracizes the ones in that enrichment class, and demotivates children left behind. It also causes rifts and resentment among friend groups. Every day the other children see Sam and Sally leave class and go to a "special kid room", and this turns into jealousy and bullying. The kids in the enrichment class feel bad for being there, and the kids not in the enrichment class feel bad for not being there. We learned a whole lot, but I think this model could have been implemented such that we could still have learned those things without the associated social costs.

So, I just went down a rabbit hole of criticisms on Guns, Germs, and Steel... it's largely coming from the far left and far right. Very few moderates.

The far left says it's a cop out on racism, blaming white evil on natural conditions. The far right says that it's too PC, that plenty of other places had the right conditions and gives no credit to culture or innovation.

So both the far left and far right want to take credit from chaos and put it on the people: either to hate them, or to take pride.

This in and of itself is not proof of anything. But if something pisses off far left and right at the same time, I tend to think of it as a green flag.

Lyme is a scary to go through, I've had it twice now, here is my latest encounter: https://youtu.be/xbPr7DHwSIw
According to Guns, Germs, and Steel, by Jared Diamond, Europeans had a history of living in close encounters with farm animals, so they had adopted diseases from the animals.

And also the Eurasian geography made trade, and exchange of both culture and domesticated animals, and also diseases, easier in the east-west direction. Because in east-west direction the exchange happens inside the same climate zone. Cow, horse, pig, sheep, goat, donkey, chicken, duck, goose, cat, dog, these didn't all originate in a single location. But in Eurasia, people were able to adopt domesticated animals and plants from their eastern and western neighbors.

The geography in the Americas makes it more easy to travel and trade in the south-north direction. But this is less useful, because you would only get access to domesticated plants and animals from different climate zones.

> why not just go with python?

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, it's because Python is cumbersome for doing the sorts of things that are easy in a shell. You want to capture the output of a command, parse it as a tab-separated table, extract the 3rd and 4th columns, and then use them to create new users with the values supplying usernames and passwords. Can you do that easily in Python?
The A15 efficiency cores will be in the next model. They are A76-level performance (flagship-level for Android from 2019-2020), but use only a tiny bit more power than the current efficiency cores.

At that point, their E-cores will have something like 80% the performance of a Zen 1 core. Zen 1 might not be the new hotness, but lots of people are perfectly fine with their Threadripper 1950X which Apple could almost match with 16 E-cores and only around 8 watts of peak power.

I suspect we'll see Apple joining ARM in three-tiered CPUs shortly. Adding a couple in-order cores just for tiny system processes that wake periodically, but don't actually do much just makes a ton of sense.
Definitely impressive in terms of power efficiency if Apples benchmarks (vague as they are) come close to accurate. Comparing the few video benchmarks we are seeing from the M1Max to leading Nvidia cards I'm still seeing about 3-5x the performance across plenty of workloads (Id consider anything >2x running circles).

And what information do you have on their progress.
Ultimately Tesla, like Apple, is a fashion brand. Once you've established your brand to the upper class, thereby causing the middle class to covet your product in order to signal a higher social status, the actual product that you make doesn't especially matter. Tesla is happy to forfeit the low-end EV market to other automakers just like Apple is happy to forfeit the low-end phone market to Android: low-end products are forced to compete on scale and become commodities with low margins, whereas fashion products can command much higher margins, and the existence of low-end competitors only serves to further cement your fashion brand as upper-class.
> Driverless trains are similar. They don't save passengers money.

Gonna have to disagree with you there. If BART was driverless, we could have 2-car trains every 4 minutes instead of a 10-car train every 20 minutes. Staff shortages are main reason for lower transit frequency, especially on weekends.

Vancouver's SkyTrain is a great example of driverless trains enabling higher frequencies.

Yeah but you didn't choose them because they used if/else clauses instead of switch statements. You chose those things because they have the features you want (that work regardless of how) without knowledge of how DRY a given layer of their stack is. This is fundamentally my point - that businesses work by offering the features people want that their competitors don't have yet, regardless of what those features look like under the hood. And regardless of how shitty enterprise software is (and I hate it plenty) it seems to be funding the paychecks of millions of people.
I live in a solid little house built in 1950. One thing I really notice about an older house like this is that the closet space is quite limited. Apparently people back then didn't have so many clothes compared to now. Overall, though, I do like the hardwood floors, the solidness and quality of build compared to what I see in more recent homes.

Which, as someone stated elsewhere, I think absolutely should be changed to 94UL across the board.

> You could hardly even use it without getting a custom keyboard for it.

Not true. I can still touch-type APL, decades after my last use of the language and I don't have an APL keyboard.

Those complaining about typing being difficult or the funny symbols are not thinking this through.

What's the difference between typing English (or another language) on a computer keyboard without looking at it and typing APL.

None. Exactly zero.

If you don't learn how to type without looking at the keyboard, typing any spoken language is a slow grind.

How long does it take to learn to touch-type, say, English? Not too long. It takes effort and dedication that is well within the skills and mental capacity of 99.999% of the people who use computers. APL is no different.

Of course, you can't go from touch-typing English to touch-typing Greek or Japanese after a few sessions with a card in front of you. It takes work. You have to learn it. And then it's easy.

When I got started, in the early 80's, we would put stickers on the keys, buy a set of replacement keycaps or a ready-made APL keyboard. After not too long the keyboard no longer mattered. I, and everyone else I knew who actually used APL for more than a curious exploration, could touch-type APL on a normal keyboard without any custom labels or keycaps at all. As I said above, I can still do it, decades later.
