Hard to believe car repair shops or taxi businesses can ever get started, since they need a million more things than a desktop and a chair. And yet they do, and they don’t get millionaire in the end.

So, you don’t need a quarter million dollars to start a startup. I did it with $12000 that I had saved from my previous job, spent over a year, with a little consulting nightjob.

“What about if you have 3 kids, 2 dogs, 1 swimming pool and 7 secondary flats.”

Entrepreneurship is not owed to you. What we’re owed is renewing the elites if they are doing a bad job, using companies that start and replace the existing ones. Facebook, Whatsapp, Tesla and SpaceX didn’t exist 20 years ago, and 84% billionaires are first-generation billionaires, the rest are women and got rich by inheritance or marriages. So elites are ~96% renewed at my generation.

Job done.
Wood dust on furniture? The prospect of alcohol in hotel rooms? Tiffany lamps? Seriously?
How much interest do you pay on a 30 year fixed interest mortgage? Seems like a total no-brainer if it is below 2-3%
My 2019 Volvo XC40 pre-tensions the seatbelts and moves the seats like this.

I didn’t know it was a feature until I nearly got rear ended waiting on a left turn and the car went into rear impact protection mode. (Other driver veered off at the last second). It was quite impressive tbh.

You're describing something like the rocket equation, but that's for increasing final speed, not increasing mass.

If you double the weight of "the plane", that includes the batteries and motors.

If you start with doubling just the structure, then you might need to add 50% more batteries, not "twice as much". Then to lift those batteries it takes another 30%. Then you add bigger motors which adds even more weight, etc. etc. By the time you finish, the total weight will be about 2x your initial weight.

There is difficulty in scaling planes, but it's not because more mass requires more fuel. A fixed percentage devoted to fuel works fine, if you're assuming the same route for both planes.
This is much harder than you're assuming.

With the increasing prevalence of TLS traffic (https et al), any cache almost certainly needs to be an explicitly configured proxy which is a user configuration issue with all it's associated support and compatibility problems.

Add to that the power consumption on a satellite is often a limiting factor, the security issues, the added latency, the ever decreasing fraction of traffic that is cache-able, etc etc ... it's very much not clear that this is a good idea.
It's good to see livestock and chemical use mentioned. But what about the other cow in the agricultural room ?

Reckless farming practice/expansions in developing countries, such as:

1. In south-east asia insane amounts of farmland is burned seasonally (to prepare for the next seasonal crop).

2. Burning of forests/jungle in order to extract some exotic mushrooms.

3. Burning jungle in order to make space for palm-oil farms.
How long were they in California before they became homeless? If they were living in a center for transients or were on a couch for a year before being homeless (but were relatively destitute in Nevada prior to this), then the data absolutely supports it.

"Free software has failed!" he cried, on a platform that operates on free software, that wouldn't exist without free software, whose access is facilitated by free software, read by users of free software, in a world that free software helped build.
Probably because it's an entire industry that is self-sustaining, without really a reason for it to exist. Most software can be built with regular HTML / JS / CSS without some convoluted framework. Even better, let's make a desktop application (when was the last time we had those?!), and we can get all kinds of performance and security gains without having to tack everything on to the web as a platform.
> the moons daytime temperature hits 110C

The notion of temperature is quite weird on the Moon. There's no air over there, and temperature does not make sense in a vacuum. Or rather, there's some type of temperature, but it does not affect the solar panels, simply because the solar panels of countless satellites work just fine.

One could say that the 110C refers to the temperature of the regolith. But that's only if the regolith is directly exposed to the sun, which obviously will not be the case for the regolith underneath the solar panels. And even if it were the case, you can make the supports of the solar panels to be thermally insulating, and again, since there's no air, there won't be any way for the heat to travel from the regolith to the panels.
That figure excludes take off and landing, which adds quite a bit on short haul flights.
One piece of analysis I'd be interested to see is whether the transition probabilities among the 4 categories along with the implied 5th category of "not homeless" have changed.

This is harder to get good data for because it would require tracking individuals across time. The payoff is that it would likely reveal evidence of structural changes if such changes exist.

At the population level it is hard to tell whether and where changes are happening. Getting the transition probabilities would allow for more effective targeting of interventions (though most of the folks who work on this already know which transitions are the hardest to recover from).
There is never going to be official data on this by design, but there is evidence of it happening all over the country, and "friendly" places like California being on the receiving end of it (https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvg7ba/instead-of-helping-ho...).

Statistical anomalies are a proven way of identifying cheating in a wide variety of scenarios like elections, standardized tests and sports. It isn't conclusive evidence, sure, but still a good place to start looking.
I know that some part of it is doable, technically, it's only that increasing the prices of plane tickets until making them non-viable for most of the population will most probably kill the city break industry in Europe.

I know it sounds like a first world problem, which in a way it is, but (very) cheap flights combined with no roaming charges were one of the few, concrete things that were actually helping make the European Union an actual distinct political entity. Almost no-one here in the EU actually cares about the European Parliament or about the European politicians and the like, but we greatly appreciate that we can go from Bucharest to Madrid or from Prague to Stockholm almost at a moment's notice and without paying an arm and a leg for it (or at least that was how things were before the pandemic), all this while using our phone in all those locations like we were on our couch at home.

I'm afraid that taking that all away will greatly reduce the little European spirit cohesiveness that had managed to get built as a result of what I described above (cheap European flights, no roaming fees), and we certainly need the best and greatest European spirit cohesiveness in these interesting times.
Plenty of homeless resources in New York.
The huge decrease in homelessness in North Dakota is probably due to the end of the fracking boom. The map compares the homelessness rate from 2015 to 2020, and 2015 was just a few years after the height of the boom. During the early 2010s rents in North Dakota shot up enormously as tens of thousands of workers poured into the state to support the industry. There wasn't enough existing housing to support the newcomers so there was a lot of crowding into trailers etc. and it's no surprise that a lot of people ended up homeless.

Fracking has leveled off for the past few years and many of the workers have moved back to other oil fields so homelessness has decreased dramatically.

There's apparently a pretty big market for plastic doodads that do the same thing your computer can, but with a crank. It's like they ripped a page straight out of Apple's playbook and made an iPod for gaming.
As traveling a lot on trains in Germany - it’s a joke. Trains are are late so you miss connections, cancelled on short notice, etc. I never know if get to airport on time when I use train. You can easily half hour late on 1 hour trip…
That was my feeling too. Calling it “magic” might be stretching things just a bit.
No, there is a slight but subtle distinction. The government license is what allows me to use the public roads, however I can drive and use my car however I want as long as I am on private roads. In this case I am not allowed to operate my vehicle if not approved by the government.
Thank you for the kind words :) We are just getting started!

Ah so that’s not really putting a slash in the name on disk - finder is just displaying the colon that way - it substitutes with a colon for historical reasons that have to do with pre OSX MacOS (but you can see if you create a file from a program or the command line with a colon in it, it will display as a slash in finder). It shouldn’t cause any problems on its own on the system - but the colon is troublesome if you have to interact with DOS/Windows lineage machines.
Thanks for your feedback. That's helpful.

Private ads worked for DDG to some degree but we think it's not the most creative idea.

We've just launched our MVP version this week and haven't implemented these other more creative monetization ideas.

We care deeply about trust, privacy and choice so we want to be careful: We don't want to implement these things or tell our competition about our plans before making progress and getting feedback from our users on them.
This is an interesting idea, but I couldn’t find Mind Map in the list of core plugins. Is this a community plug-in you’re talking about?
All of this would have been avoided if we kept the vaccine only for the groups that are high risk.
Is absurdly pathetic to see healthy, relatively people in their 20's and 30's terribly scared of covid-19 as if it was ebola. Well, for you it is not, it never was.

Yes, you can get it and you can die, it is possible, but this is a very unlikely outcome to you. We should never ever created this level of fear to vaccinate people with a leaky vaccine, that is based in a few spike proteins from a single variant.

For the downvoters: Please show me numbers from the CDC proving me wrong.
I don’t know about “wrong,” but my opinion on the overall theme of that first comment is that the requirement to learn is not at all a bad thing. I enjoy learning new things even when that is in some sense a “requirement.”
Tauri seems like a nice option. It's not as full-featured as Electron yet but their focus on security is great to see (last I saw they were getting the codebase professionally audited). The main reason I didn't go with it was just that doesn't seem to (yet?) suit my use case with zero-copy data transfer between Rust <-> Browser.

My hope is that by writing most of my backend in Rust, that it'd be easy-ish to switch to Tauri or other options if something changes down the road.
It's a 32bit ARM CPU running around 200mhz I think. I'm sure they just used a similar ARM CPU.
"Research increasingly implies that homework is probably harmful in elementary; of dubious value in early middle school"

You are citing research that apparently is stating the obvious, namely that good students are faster at completing homework than poor students. Not sure how that supports the statement that homework is harmful for either group.

Skimming the lit review you linked, homework appears to have a moderate positive effect on the immediate measures of achievement, e.g. grades. Though the effects of lifelong habit of completing one's homework are more interesting than short term grade improvements, and a quick skim of the 60 page lit review you quoted doesn't seem to attempt to quantify this effect.

Food for thought: attempts to scientize every aspect of life, even if the measures used are obviously limited and shortsighted, is perhaps not a good way to steer an entire society forward.
I went "over the bars" twice. Once I was passenger on a motorbike and I flew over the car we hit. The other time I was driving the motorbike and I did brake until the very end, thinking "oh shit, won't do": I stood up on the bike, while still braking. And flew over the car again. Waking up in the ambulance, temporarily blind, not knowing which year it was nor if I had a wife or not, wasn't cool. It took I'd say easily 15 minutes before I could see again: I started regaining sight in the hospital although I clearly remember paramedics talking to me in the ambulance.

I'm very lucky, in both cases, I didn't hit anything but the road. Especially not the car.

I still rode MX bike on tracks for a while then eventually quite entirely.

Now I've got a mountain bike and it's scary enough already!
Of course, what from my comment makes you think I disagree with that?
Such a cool idea. Now you have a momento to remember the day that can be hung on a wall.

China has a big inflation problem
IoT are OK with high risk and move very fast with startup mentality. You have qty zero of CPU model XYZ in stock and qty essentially-infinite of CPU model ABC in stock? Our new product, which will have zero support after shipping, will ship with CPU ABC which is in stock.

Car mfgrs are in the risk adverse capital preservation mode and it takes years for changes to be made. You only have model ABC CPU in stock? Has that undergone enough approval and testing processes to be an automobile ABS controller? No? Then we wait. It'll take years for model ABC to be approved -or- similar years for us to design a new brake controller system.

If you ship an IoT product its assumed it'll have zero aftermarket support, be wide open to new security holes, and probably stop working in a couple years at most. Cars are expected to have parts available for 20 years, never be hacked, and reliably operate in a life critical environment for decades.

If the IoT temperature sensor is 2 degrees high, nobody cares anyway, ship it and fix the software. If the automotive brake controller only applies the brakes 99.9% of the time perhaps because it has less memory so the stack crashes under weird and rare conditions, it'll pass trivial levels of testing while killing lots of people causing a financial and PR nightmare...

A better comparison to automotive would be aviation, or perhaps ocean shipping.

Hi, Evan Phoenix, Rubinius creator here. I just wanted to stop in and say thank you for this comment. It means a lot to me, even after all these years that Rubinius helped you out.

I mentioned this on twitter as well (https://twitter.com/evanphx/status/1458912013011152898?s=21) but wanted to reach out here and let you know personally too.

Thank you.

When my startup failed I did contracting for a while. And the trauma probably kept me from pursuing startups for almost a decade. Our angel skipped off back to SV and I went back to the European job market with no professional references, no employer to verify my qualifications, and no real network. And I had a baby on the way.

> your failed startup might be seen even positive by some employers.

It's gotten much better since those days but having that startup is seen as an asset to the right company.
doesn't this lock the file?
I remember playing with this on my laptop in middle school. That was one of the weirdest trips to the principal's office I ever took.
At least in Norway there might easily be 5 hours drive to the nearest train station. In the northern parts I guess there might be 8 or more unless (and maybe even if) you drive into Sweden or Finland.

I remember my wife (who I'd just met back then) being somewhat surprised when I told her there were no train stops nearby.

I had two airports within an hour drive though, so we managed.
I should probably add something about that to the post.

Sorta like the Tor version of DNS.
It's where your Tor goes to get information about an onion, e.g. how to connect to it. Tor versions that don't support v2 will refuse to host this information, and so if all 6 HSDirs of an v2 onion doesn't support it, the onion will be unreachable.

Maybe understanding a bit about how onion services work will help: https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/overview/
I feel like the field you are getting into (workspace productivity/office collab) us extremely competitive and there are many huge players. Most people don't use this stuff outside of work and there it is usually mandated by forces outside of our control.
That being said if you can stay alive long enough and listen to users it could work, I have tried it but looks neat.
Certainly anecdotes abound, but I once took a German Wings flight from Cologne to London for US$18.

The taxi from the airport to my hotel, less than 5 miles from the airport, was US$27.
At around the 1:21:00 mark of Ep69 we get into extreme internet nostalgia when Art's brand new website gets overloaded after announcing some new photos he uploaded. He got his web guy on the air to explain the phenomena.

Just a great little bit of internet nostalgia from the 90's in living AM filtered audio. Worth a listen on the 1 hour and 21 minute mark.
My point is that it's hard to identify - and translate - idioms like these.

One of my favorites is the English idiom "make one's hair stand on end", which can be translated (directly) as "fikk ens hår til å stå opp", but we Norwegians prefers "gåsehud" (literally "goose skin") or "fikk hårene til å reise seg" (literally "made the hairs rise") instead.

Add to the problem if the scared or excited entity in question is actually called "One."

I rest my case.
What's fascinating to me as that it's happening at the same time as the "X as code" movement.

Devops: Infrastructure as code.
or dbt's viewpoint on analytics as code (see https://blog.getdbt.com/building-a-mature-analytics-workflow...)

So I'm seeing it as an exercise in finding sweet spots. There are things that have been mostly manual or point-and-click and people are seeing wins from defining and managing them as code. Usually in terms of reproducibility and testability. Then there are things that people have traditionally done in code (e.g. admin UIs) where maybe most of it can be abstracted away into a point and click tool.

No-code works great until it breaks, and then your ability to debug is going to be very constrained. We're fighting that problem with some no-code ETLs using Stitch at work today, for example.
In my defence, I replied to a political statement about Biden's popularity. But now that I reread the comment, I can see how it was overtly speculative. Shouldn't have made it.

> Automakers effectively pulled the rug out from under their chip suppliers by asking them to severely cut production

Automakers only make few percents of MCU market. Just the most profitable one. Plus, a lot of MCU makers have own fabs.

It's very unlikely they took "months" of factory output. They just got their small batches to wait until the tsunami wave of mainstream part runs is done.

"But," thought the savvy businessman, "if I don't get caught then what does it hurt, right? It is smart to not pay the government what they don't actively take from you..." and so he dumped the waste runoff from his plant into the local river and wasn't caught for 30 years, at which point he was fined 1/10 of 1% of the profits he would not have made without his economic larceny.

I like React’s opinionated top-down model (with callbacks passed downwards as needed either directly as props or through a store / context) for handling state changes, as this improves composability and ability to reason about state.

My understanding is that Svelte’s main difference from React is that it is not opinionated in this way, and this is considered a positive feature by its proponents. Is my understanding incorrect?
Because Microsoft stopped supporting IE 11 before Windows 10 was even released and only included it at all due to a desperate sense of backwards compatibility?

Hindsight being what it is, we can all wish Microsoft had taken a different approach to IE 11 support in Windows 10. I don't think this microsoft-edge:// thing was the best answer either. It just sort of makes sense in terms of the ugly situation Microsoft created for themselves, maybe.
My old 1997 Town Car has about as many controllers as my 2011 Crown Victoria does (many of them are even the same parts), and the 2021 300S I just ordered doesnt have many more.

Though the 1997 Town Car, had many more controllers than a 1997 Taurus for comparison.
I am constantly getting flummoxed by the PARA system. It ends up taking me more time trying to figure out the nuanced rules on where to put something (Projects/Areas and Areas/Resources are the most persnickety ones) that I often end up duplicating a concept and having two folders for it, one in each hierarchy. I'm still not sold on the PARA organizational method, but maybe there's something I'm missing.
