The article is talking about investments of $1M per company to get 1% ownership at a 100M valuation, and why the returns probably suck if you limit yourself to angel investment only.

The single biggest flaw with the analysis, is that it ignores that you must be a seed investor to be at the table to participate in subsequent series A,B,C funding rounds of the most successful businesses.

The following is from the article.

Assumptions:
Fund Size $100,000,000
Number Of Investments 100
Post-Money Value $100,000,000
Investment Amount $1,000,000
Ownership 1.00%
Average Dilution from Seed to Exit 66.67%
Top-Performing Investment Outcome $10,000,000,000
Power Law Number 0.75

Given those assumptions, a $100mm seed fund that makes all of its investments at $100mm post-money will barely return the fund. And that number is gross, before fees and carry.

Total Value At Exit $133,333,323
Fund Return 1.33

I have to guess you are using a meaning for "judiciously" that is unfamiliar to me. It is a fact that "incredibly" has had a longer run as a generic intensifier than is usual.
really, how is student debt crippling? if you go to a state school and get a high earning stem degree you'll pay it off in no time, besides which the interest rates are really low. Sure if you go to Brown for a history degree with no scholarships and don't bother to take a part time job then you may find yourself up shit creek, but that's hardly behavior I want my tax dollars subsidizing.

But don't get me wrong, I'm all for you not having children. Fewer people is one way to solve our climate issues.
It bothers me a little that you think you just corrected me. This is an honest question: do you not understand what "opinion" means? For example, do you understand that I can say, "large gun" and that it doesn't mean the same thing you think when you say, "large gun"? When you say, "the rifle is not large," I'm still correct when I say, "yes it is." We're both stating our opinions!

I see pictures of Kyle posing with a gun that appears to be about half the length of his body; when he is out on the streets during the riots, you can tell he is holding a gun from very far away. The messaging I get from this is not "response worker there to provide medical aid and put out fires." Do you truly not have any clue why his presence negatively contributed to the situation?

Obviously my point about him defending strangers' property was to note that he did not have a direct interest in defending his own property. The length of his drive is far from the point. But that's super true: he worked in the same county, and it was only like a 30 minute drive. I just looked it up! Amazing. Really makes me think.

Correcting details that are beside the point != winning an argument.
If you have it, you do actually save electricity by using the higher-voltage connector. Just to toss some numbers out, ~85% charging efficiency at L1, ~95% using L2. FWIW.

Gasoline has an energy content of ~120MJ/gallon (sources online seem to vary from 115 to 130) so that's an energy delivery rate of 1200MJ/min or 20MJ/s. 1W = 1J/s so that's 20MW or 20 million watts of power flowing through the filler hose that a gasoline vehicle is effectively being "recharged" at. No EV charging standard I know of even approaches 1MW.

I'm not sure this is true. Sure the syntax of the lanuage is simple, but smalltalk is useless with just its syntax (it doesn't even have ifs or loops!). You only have a real smalltalk with a class hierarchy defined, and then suddenly smalltalk becomes uber conceptual. MVC (and its infinite variants), meta-object protocols, object-relational mapping, smalltalk loves is high concept stuff.

Over the past 20 years that describes the vast majority of my goals. That's how you get paid big bucks - by taking on goals you don't know how to achieve, and then achieving them, or at least making a good enough try. Colloquially this is known as "problem solving", and hard stuff is expensive.

The CSA layout is pretty nice, I use it everywhere (writing French and writing code) and don't have problems with {}[]() because these characters are juxtaposed (unlike the french AZERTY).
The systemd slice approach is the same mechanism as containers.

The security problem is being able to talk to the same X server as trusted applications. X clients can do pretty much all the things you don't want Zoom to do; look at your screen, observe your keystrokes, etc. (Sadly, many of Zoom's features, like screen sharing, are also great things for spyware to do in the background. Not saying Zoom does this, but if you don't trust them, this level of access is the part that worries people, not consuming too much CPU.)
No need? I disagree, just based on my experiences of raising my children who have a mentally unwell absentee mother. I also disagree it's manipulation, as that implies lying to them to achieve a selfish goal of your own, whereas a white lie is intended to be for their benefit.

My younger children still need to hear from time to time that she loves them, even if the obvious reality (to me, and my older children) is that her behaviour demonstrates quite clearly that she doesn't.

But, to ease their young minds, and help them sleep when the doubts come, I tell them that she does love them, and always will so, but she's working on some challenges that make it hard for her to tell them in person.

To quote Thackeray's Vanity Fair - "Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children."

(She has supervised access, but won't use it because "she did nothing wrong", and using it appears to her, as an implicit acknowledgement that she did something wrong)

I dislike lying to them, and I'll admit I feel angry when I do so - they love her because she's Mom, but she doesn't deserve their love - but it safeguards their mental wellbeing until they're old enough to face the unvarnished truth.

I also think of the day my father died, twelve days before I was born. He died smiling (I'm told) despite the intense pain, because of a white lie.

He was dying of cancer, and they desperately trying to induce me so he could meet me before he died, but no dice. And they'd been unable to discern my gender via ultrasound. He was desperate to have a son. (this was the 80s, so you know, patriarchy was the norm, etc. etc.)

In his last hour, he asked the nurse if his child had been born, and she lied magnificently - yes, you have a beautiful baby boy, he's eight pounds five, congratulations. (Which was not a bad guess, I was eight pounds 10).

While they're wildly disparate circumstances, they share a commonality - the unvarnished truth isn't always the best option in some circumstances.
It's not remotely a stretch. The biggest mining machines in the world (open pit coal shovels in Europe) are already electric and have been for ages. In the rest of the mining industry most big manufacturers like CAT and Sandvik are releasing battery powered scoops, haul-trucks, etc. It's on its way but industrial adoption will surely follow consumer adoption. We do need better batteries, faster charging, and more experience before they can take over, but thankfully that consumer demand is paving the way (i.e. paying for the research).

This is huge. Hopefully they can move from the lab to the real world environment conditions in 1-2 years. Would love to start up an electric charging station using these super fast charging cables.
LoC is a terrible metric - did they count the lines other engineers removed?

I was half of a very productive duo on a greenfield project subsystem - a project I joined midway: my partner wrote a lot of code, I estimate ~70% of final lines in the code base were his. What the LoC count won't tell you is all the refactoring, deletion, tests and error handling code I had to add, because his code only worked for the happy path. Can you say he was being 2x more productive than I was? I say no, because he was breaking the nightly build at least once a week before I joined, blocking the rest of the team, this ended when I added pre-commit tests.
I think you’re right: it never reached the point where you could go to your boss and say “implementing this will allow us to do this concrete thing” — contrast with schema.org’s much better adoption curve because it gave better Google ranking & display.

One contributing factor was that the semweb community really needed more working engineers. I tried a few times to implement things and you could very quickly end up in cases where the documentation in 5 places was inconsistent and the lone example on some random W3C page didn’t work with the one available tool or hadn’t been maintained in so long that some other random XML spec had mutated incompatibly. Things like that really pumped up the cost of what was already a dubious proposition.
What I've experienced at companies on a death spiral is that there are a few people everyone can agree are useless, and beyond that you start picking people based on your poor understanding of how the sausage is actually made.

Once someone really useful has been let go, you have the sudden realization that your situation isn't that different than theirs. If management can misunderstand Tim's value, they sure as hell can misunderstand yours. At which point everyone's productivity is compromised by existential dread, and the wheels just start coming off faster.

My guess is that attempting to diversify what they play for you leads to much worse results, at least for the modal user. I don't think that music recommendation services actually work that well except by identifying very popular stuff.

I agree with you about the `nameof` comparison, mainly because it deceptively looks like something you'd be able to write yourself (since it's just an attribute), but under the hood it's compiler magic. I'd rather it be more like a keyword or obvious language built-in so there's a clearer boundary between "this is a language feature" and "this is a standard library feature".

what do you mean by that? the most common jobs (retail, food, medicine, construction, etc.) exist pretty much everywhere there's a critical mass of people living. you don't need to relocate to get the kinds of work most people do. the people that benefit most from relocating are specialists who already get paid above the median and/or want to follow their niche passion. good for them! but I'm not sure it's something that deserves to be subsidized further.
I hear you. Just to clarify, I wasn't forming an opinion on what happened, nor did I state an opinion on what happened. Those two selected details were basically all I absorbed. What's important to me is "why was this person there in the first place" (and I feel like I got the gist!). Not "what happened after this person showed up and how would I defend/prosecute this case if I pretended I was a lawyer." I only have so much bandwidth in my life. Sad event all around.
Sadly there is much truth to this.

I think what also doesn't help is that resolution is just much higher today. A lot of model clips would have been smoothed over by the low resolution but these days we all watch the 1080p or 4k remasters.

I haven’t used it in a while but when I did, it was pretty bad.

One annoying bug: if you switch to a different podcast sometimes, even when the new podcast starts playing, it continues to show the cover art of the previous podcast for a while. Super annoying.

What’s even more frustrating is how buggy streaming music to a HomePod mini is.

Even though I’m the only person in my household using it, I frequently get errors that I can’t play something because someone else is playing something, which turns out to be something I played a while ago.

Things seemed better before the latest HomePod software upgrade…
The problem is that the lack of macros in C# makes a lot of people use reflection and other stuff which is even harder to debug. The code emission stuff in Roslyn is very interesting but God be with you if you have to understand somebody else's code who uses it.

Also, if you don't overuse the preprocessor you can save tons of boilerplate.

Most people have a mental map of the world (except for packers, those people are just plain weird) Assuming that anyone else has the exact same map is foolhardy at best.

Most people have things they need to get done, if your tool can help, great! Don't expect them to think of it in the same way you do. Sometimes there is a misunderstanding that discovers something even more useful than intended. Be open to those bits of serendipity.
We do not have a "pretty accurate" explanation for how we got to life once stars started exploding. In fact, we have no idea whatsoever and the more we learn the more infinitely intractable the problem appears. We're moving further away from an answer as our understanding grows, not closer.
You can always write a callback oriented program, but this is much nicer!
I think part of this is due to the way sometimes ycombo endorsed projects can get special treatment, and sometimes come pre-loaded with canned comments that all show up at once. (There is one on the front page right now that I suspect is up to something like this). Perhaps that can be worked on from the HN-side to make a better appearance that all submissions are treated equally.
I learned recently that adding a tablespoon of water and covering the egg has helped immensely. The water lifts up the egg, steams under the cover and heats from all sides of the egg quick enough to avoid the egg adhering.

> The short variable names should be clear enough if you understand the purpose of the function.

I shouldn't have to read the function implementation to understand its purpose. Code is buggy! If the function has no name or comment explaining what it's supposed to do, I only have the (often buggy) implementation to go by.

There is no reason to use terse, non-descriptive names in 2021. It's an awful practice that guarantees easy-to-avoid bugs.
I strongly second the virtues of extending a standard US QWERTY layout to your specific needs. I’ve done a “ U.S. International - Scientific ” keyboard layout myself that aims more for German and math Unicode: https://michaelgoerz.net/notes/the-us-international-scientif...

Been using that for years in one form or another.

Embedding it in HTML is the easy part. The hard part is having semantic data in the first place and being able to reconcile your view of the world with other people’s well enough to see a real benefit from all of that work.

The implementations I saw were basically just a case of hoping they’d guessed at what other people needed well enough and waiting to see if someone used it. Changing the serialization format wouldn’t have changed that dynamic.

I think attrition can be low as long as your team is steadily growing. No attrition can lead to no new people, and no new people is often the bigger problem.

A stable team becomes an echo chamber and/or rant fest. Certain arguments have already been won, right or wrong, and others can never be won.

New people come in and ask dumb questions that upset the status quo. They often are the only people who can.
> One question though: the French seem to enjoy using different standards, for some reason. Besides the keyboard, I've also noticed they have a lot of WIFI channel exclusions.

Each country has its own standards, especially with radio channels, but France seems pretty similar with other west-european countries (Wifi channels, FM radio, digital TV...).

Regarding physical keyboard layouts, mostly all the world is using the ISO layout but US are stuck with the ANSI keyboard missing one key.

Nonetheless, I fully expect there to be at least a few deaths and injuries once EVs become more common. Probably not as likely via electrocution, but more likely via something catching fire. There are huge amounts of power being transferred; when (not if) something goes wrong, it tends to be quite catastrophic.
Orbits are chosen for a reason. Changing it to one that's less ideal is expensive in money and fuel, and complicates things for the support system on the ground. Going higher is probably more efficient for the station itself since there's less drag, but it costs more to send a rocket there.
