> 10% (WAG) of Uber cars are currently wheelchair-accessible

I'd be surprised if it were even 1%. As far as I'm aware, stock passenger vehicles are never wheelchair accessible -- it requires some expensive aftermarket hardware to be installed.

High purity polysilicon is still produced by zone refining.
The microphone analogy is particularly apt, because the signals are also audio-frequency. You can listen to them. Sometimes in the control room we play the output on a loudspeaker. It can help in tuning the instrument (most of what you hear is noise).

VRML Sourcebook [0]. I did a similar little project in VRML. I took the general organization of my homepage and VRMLized it. Authoring it was such a pain in the ass.

I loved the concepts behind VRML, and still do. Unfortunately all of the implementations around it were terrible.

When it was in vogue PCs weren't powerful enough to handle anything but the most trivial models. Dial-up was entirely insufficient to deliver anything but the most trivial models as well.

They are american, and their are playing to the truck/suv market, which is more USA thing.

I have seen their truck and SUV in person (NY auto-show), and it is indeed very nice inside. Feels like a Luxury Jeep done right, appart their front headlights, which are weirdly too close to each other (the only detail i really disliked).

Everything else is on point and feels almost Audi like quality.

Check out Relativity, one of the best ediscovery software companies founded by Andrew Sieja (no law degree). He was working at the beginning of ediscovery and took advantage of the opportunity.

If you wanna be on the law firm end of things rather than software, maybe try to find law firms who are embracing ediscovery software? For example, you could work at a law firm (or legal department of a company) using Relativity and leverage Relativity’s API to improve and help elevate attorney workflows. Some big companies that come to mind are NASA, Robinhood, Google. I’ve seen job listings for all those that requires law+technical knowledge.

Could be a good opportunity to get with a recruiter also if you wanna be a VP (or some other high level position) of an ediscovery department or company while the industry is not so mainstream yet.

If youtube gradually greyed out videos everywhere in the UI if they got a lot of dislikes instead of the current count then I don't think people would mind as much. But then dislike bombing would probably get even worse than now since greying out the content is a much more powerful signal to users.
I guess we can make our own standard, someone should comment something like "This video is garbage." or simply "Dislike" and the amount of thumbs up on that comment can be taken as video dislikes.

I sometimes look for obscure how-to's, and I get garbage videos not even answering the question. If YouTube can get rid of all that garbage, then not having a dislike button is fine.
MVP is definitely the way to go
I launched MVP - website builder for podcasters a year ago just to validate my idea. Reached $1000MRR, earned over $10k in the last year, reInvested that money and reLaunched a few days ago!

In case I've already validated my idea (hope so) the main target of this post is not to get feedback or to get more customers (of course both are nice to have :D). The main purpose of my post is to say that everybody knows so far, but probably sometimes ignores it. It doesn't make sense to spend months or years implementing "all possible features" and spending time on pixel-shifting. Just get that shit out as soon as possible and try to sell it. You will have time for improvements and polishing later on, and the most important part - you will have some feedback from your early customers, they will give you the directions!

Yes I know, this is nothing new. I've read this many times before, but somehow ignored it, burned more than 6 years building things that nobody needs, and of course none of them are running today.

This website builder was my first try to go with MVP:

1. Launched MVP on December 2020

2. Found early customers in the next months

3. Collected a feedback and implemented the most requested features

4. After noticing that it's growing month by month, invested almost all earned $ into reBranding: premium domain https://onpodium.com (previously it was podsite.io), hired designer for logo, website design, paid for consultations with marketers, implemented many different features and relaunched/rebranded two days ago

5. The TODO list is still huge, but it's not MVP anymore and I can't wait for what will happen in 2022!

I didn't say anything new, but if this post will trigger at least one of you to think again that MVP is enough for the start - then I think it's enough! :)

Good luck with your side projects!

Can you describe to me a situation in which reaching pareto efficiency would, in your opinion, not be the optimal state for the welfare of the aggregate? I'm trying to imagine a situation where resources are optimally distributed where that would be suboptimal for the welfare of everyone.

> just hitting back that having contractors instead of employees is somehow unethical.

It's unethical when the people concerned aren't independent contractors but are treated as such because it's cheaper for the company (e.g. in regard to sick pay, holiday pay etc) than treating them as employees.

If you like a 6 month engagement length, that's cool, there's nothing stopping you from agreeing to a 6 month employment contract.

Although even that is unethical on a company's part if they're taking advantage of power imbalances in the employment market to transfer risk/cost onto employees only "agreeing" to short term contracts under duress.
Trust me: that strategy only works on April 1st.
Ford is up this year more than Tesla is actually. I'm betting their partnership with Rivian is a big part of that.

EDIT: Year-to-date YTD at least. I thought F was up more than Tesla in 52-week but I was mistaken. Still though, you can see that the F ticker has skyrocketed with this strategy, despite the obvious headwinds of "Ford doesn't have enough chips to even make their allotted cars this year".

Like, I get it. Its a strategy for Ford / Amazon to be "hip" and "cool" by supporting Rivian and participating in this hype. Its stupid but it seems like its working, for F's stock to go up so much despite all of the manufacturing issues they had (idle factories / layoffs), is just how stupid this market is right now.

There's so much stupid in the market these days that its hard to keep up.

I don't hide my faith or the biblical foundations for my worldview, as my posts here on HN will show.

But, I can say I've received way more discriminatory remarks and hassle because I don't hide those views than I've ever given out. I've also had people express a lot of surprise at the fact that I'm in software and have such a worldview. I don't want anyone to be surprised by it so I let it be known. If people think it's inappropriate or decide they don't want to work with us because of it, I can't help their attitude. But I'm not the one being biased.

Is it 2009 again and Uber was just founded? Meanwhile, in 2021, there isn't a fee or tip that this ethical void of a company has not stolen from its drivers.

You are right, they should pay, but we certainly should not rely on their goodwill or initiative to do so.
The nice bit about Go is that this maturity is baked into the philosophy and thus the language, the tooling, and the ecosystem where it benefits even younger developers. For example, your own hard-earned wisdom is great but it doesn't automatically make your language's package manager (or any other software you depend on, including libraries) better. But when that kind of wisdom is idiomatic, everything is better even when it's built by more junior developers.

Are you predicting large scale deflation? That’s the opposite of what we’re seeing now, but if it happens the fed can fix it by just printing money.
Yeah, most of them did; especially most of the holdovers from the 80s.

This was one of the big draws to pulling down "mainframe/workstation" systems like unix (or what MS did by hiring what IIRC was the VMS team to build NT) onto desktop machines. These mainframe systems actually had memory protection, and more generally, had been built to do what "pc OSes" hadn't been designed to do, which was running several programs at once, for long periods of time, and juggling resource contention between them.

DOS machines, CP/M machines, Apples, Macs, Commodores, and several other early machines were pretty tactfully designed to avoid the (too heavy for their hardware) complexity of that by simply building themselves to run only one program at a time. There were hacks to let you run multiple programs (like the Multifinder in MacOS 6, which got mainlined into being a permanent thing in 7), but they were just that — hacks. They were fragile.

As computers started taking on the burden of juggling tons of different simultaneous programs, this fragility really started to blow up on them, and these previously "seeming stable" systems started to crash all the time.

Relatively cheap for medical equipment.
Where does the article say that?

It says: "BlackRock, HSBC among largest buyers of Evergrande debt"

Those are relatively recent purchases and they were tiny re BlackRock -

"BlackRock added 31.3 million notes of Evergrande's debt between January and August 2021, pushing its stake in the company to 1% of the assets in its $1.7 billion Asian High Yield Bond Fund, according to Morningstar."

1% of $1.7 billion, or $17 million.

That's equal to 1/100th of 1% of BlackRock's assets. And they've got $9+ trillion under management.

BlackRock has taken a hit on their equity in Evergrande, which is already largely toast:

"The data also shows that BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has suffered a $95.3m book loss on its Evergrande holding, which at the start of the year stood at just over $111m."

https://www.fnlondon.com/articles/blackrock-vanguard-shareho...

The Financial Times in late September estimated BlackRock's total exposure to Evergrande at $400 million. At their scale they can take a $250-$400 million loss and shrug it off. Evergrande represents a several hundred billion dollar problem for China domestically, and that's before you get to the cascade risk for their property market (which represents 65-70% of all household assets in China).

This seems to assume that the pandemic economic situation is permanent.

Not if you hire sole proprietor. You just have to pay such person an invoice like you would buy something from abroad.

I work in Poland for company from the Netherlands and I know other people who have "single person company" that are working for companies in UK and US. I even did some work for company based in UAE.

You just have to spend time looking where to find such people. Then of course you have to do trial period to see if they won't flake out but that would be the same as if you would hire someone from US.
Wonderful- I fed it a couple random fragments from my 7th grade French book and it came up with strangely poetic thoughts.
I never know how to interpret the phrase "linked to" in various news headlines.

Is it just shorthand for some relationship that's truly significant and meaningful in the context of the article?

Or is it a weasel-phrase to click-bait people into reading a less significant finding and/or to impute guilt by association?

>Tesla has also proven that traditional automakers really struggle to keep up with the electric car race - from software to supply chain.

Hardly, Tesla has proven that they were right betting on electric being the future. SuperCruise by most accounts is ahead of "FSD" in real-world driving. GM has pivoted in less than 5 years to what it took Tesla 18 years to build.

5 years from now we can have a conversation about whether GM/Ford/Stellantis can compete or not. Saying that Tesla has some unsurmountable lead when the big 3 have literally just started releasing their first round of EVs is silly. Having test driven a Mach-E and a Model-Y, I would wager the non-tesla fanboy will choose the Mach-E every time. Nicer interior, similar enough performance, and a manufacturer that has a history of actually having parts to fix cars when something breaks. The horror stories of cars sitting for months waiting on basic parts from Tesla is enough to make me think twice about ever owning one.
Handing money to a foreign business because you see dollar signs that aren't there is not remotely comparable to getting killed by a police officer.

It's kinda shocking how poorly traditional auto manufacturers are failing at keeping pace with Tesla, but I think that's not going to last forever. Many have already committed to ending their production of gasoline vehicles in very short order.

I think a good example to look at is how the hybrid market has shifted since the Prius. Toyota blew everyone out of the water for years, but sales have plummeted in recent years as competition has caught up. Rivian has even less of cushion since the electric F-150 is due to hit dealerships next year.
There is no way this would work. This would limit uber vehicles to at least a modified minivan. Most school buses and public transport buses are not wheelchair accessible. Those orgs have specialized vehicles that can be dispatched as needed. It's fine to require the same of Uber.

Thank you.

In noco we've the concept of primary-value (like primary key) and that shows up automatically when you join with other tables (defaults to 'title'). However the primary value column can be changed to any other column too (by hovering on the column name).

Other tools in the list do not give the smart-spreadsheet automatically when you connect to databases. And frankly, these are two different tools we are comparing.
> "Why? Reading and writing lots of tiny files incurs significant syscall overhead, and (npm) packages often have lots of tiny files"

Ah, those trees of is-character packages depending on is-letter-a packages, themselves depending on is-not-number packages each appearing several times in different versions are probably challenging to bundle and unpack efficiently. We might want to address file systems too, so they too can handle NPM efficiently (actual size on disk and speed).

Or maybe the actual fix is elsewhere.

Archives often have checksums, align files in a way conducive to continuous reading which can be great performance wise in some cases (and like zip, also random read/write), and can provide grouping and logical/semantic validation that is hard to do on a ‘bunch of files’ without messing it up.
Maybe fast in principle but rarely in practice. I’ve never once worked in a Java codebase that started up shorter than 5 or 10 seconds.
I've heard smart people argue convincingly that the JVM doesn't actually take long to fire up, and that this is something of a myth. It may take a bit of time for the JIT to optimize, but that shouldn't impact basic CLI tools (un-JIT-ed code is basically just interpreted code, and that runs quickly enough). I'd be curious to hear from people who have looked into this.

I think this can’t really be the reason for your going back to school. A few weeks of drilling of common data structures and algorithms would put you at parity with college grads. Could it be you just don’t like the industry and project that onto some kind of academic bias or something? Nothing wrong with not liking software development it is often awful.

I know K-12 educators who post videos primarily for their students and fellow local teachers, and they disable comments and voting because bored kids will fill the comments with crap, and scammers will target the kids.
Tesla is still in that position today though, when it comes to valuation?

They have a larger valuation than Toyota, even though Toyota has 10x higher revenue at similar profit margin. Toyota produces almost 3x as many cars as Tesla per employee.

Sure, they are still growing, but it's unclear how that growth will continue. Especially for Model S and X, there are objectively better options on the market today from the traditional manufacturers (BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Jaguar, Polestar/Volvo, Hyundai) and from new Chinese brands.

Just look at deliveries by model, Model S + Model X peaked at 30 k deliveries per quarter way back in 2018, and has been dropping since. They were the first mover, but apparently have not been able to capitalize on that.

Of course the stock market today has moved wholeheartedly to embrace the post-fact meme stocks like Gamestop and Tesla, so I'm not stupid enough to bet on the share price dropping.
