Neeva has the right business model (search as a product) which helps align interests. On the other hand some of their reasoning around the business execution left much to be desired:

Let me fix that, "An applicant with a bachelors degree in business administration and 13-week software-engineering boot camp actually got a job after a lot of hard work looking."
They are selling pieces of a subsidiary, subsidiaries taxed at the entity level (instead of pass through) always block regulatory restrictions of the shareholder. see “blocker corporation” when formed for this specific purpose

It is interesting to think of this under US law since non profits are regulated heavily, but its not really that absurd

The US version would require reducing shareholdings to below 35% or 20% - depending on what kind of foundation/nonprofit it actually was registered as, and what kind of decision making is being done. It wouldn't be unrelated business income tax it would be excess business holdings tax which I think can be way worse of an excise tax, up to 200%
It uses JVM and JVM tends to hunk all memory for object pools so it can allocate fast if needed.
> They don't publish the full schematics of anything, which makes it impossible to do low level programming of the thing in a reasonable manner

The schematics aren't so much the issue. It's the lack of documentation for the SoC and other components.

The Raspberry Pi is a great learning platform and I think the Raspberry Pi foundation made the right choice in using the Broadcom parts, even if they are relatively closed. The vast majority of end users aren't using the platform for anything that requires access to the low-level, undocumented parts. Keeping the cost to a minimum was the right choice, IMO.

If someone needed low-level access to the SoC, choosing a Raspberry Pi wouldn't be the right choice anyway, schematics or not.
The advertising market. Giphy has plans to make an advertising network which would compete with Facebook and force the latter to be more competitive (which at least may result in better outcomes for end-users of both products).
Are you planning to sell your Stripe equity at IPO next year, or wait a week for the IPO pop? I think I might actually wait a couple months
Yes, each time I'm looking for something specific I'm only getting results from more popular "similar requests", and of course sponsored ads, this is very infuriating.

On a similar note, but this time for reasons that completely elude my reasoning, GPS navigation with google maps has become worse and worse over the years. It went from surprisingly good at avoiding closed routes and accidents at a time when there was likely a lot less real-time data available, to guiding me over and over again to the same closed roads that sometimes have been for weeks, even though they have troves of user data that clearly show everybody having to turn back and change course. WTF google ?

Also, please implement something like traffic prediction, when I leave around 5pm when it's still fluid, I get an ETA like 40 minutes later, even though I know for sure that it's going to get way worse while I'm on the road and those 40 minutes become more like 90. If I can predict it, why can't google ? That's just crazy stupid.
I don't even think that discord is that good an alternative.

I’ve found LinkedIn better those others have had better luck with Indeed, especially for junior roles.

With LinkedIn, the most effective strategy I’ve found is finding someone who is connected to the hiring manager of a posted open position, and crafting an intro note for them to send on my behalf. Just applying to jobs or waiting to be found hasn’t worked.
I am guessing that the big difference here is that ogham and linear A are public domain, while Paramount claims copyright ownership of Klingon.
Northern Asian media

OT, but I have never heard of South Korea described as "North Asia". Is that a common thing? Just looking at a map it is clearly way to the south.
This looks fascinating!
Cool idea, I had a similar hitch to scratch and have been playing with the idea to build something like that (for personal use, but ended up using https://hay-kot.github.io/mealie/).
I'm in Berlin and I wasn't aware you guys were already operational here.

A couple of notes: I signed up for the trial and answered the questionnaire. To me, it is not clear what happens next. I didn't receive any welcome/confirmation email.

Also, since I'm based in Germany, I would have expected a reference to German supermarkets (Rewe, Edeka, etc.) but the home page only shows American stores. For a moment, I thought this was a US-only service.

Good luck and looking forward to try out the service.
So people who are actually talented singers will sound weird in the future? Now that's dystopian.

I honestly hear auto-tune pretty quick. It bothers me that other people don't seem to notice it so easily.
Agreed. I also think that once you grow beyond one employee (yourself) as a founder, you acquire a deep moral and ethical (although not legal) responsibility to the wellbeing of your employees. The very notion/term "exit" has always made my skin crawl, at least in the context of "serial entrepreneurs".

Treating a company - a thing that often dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people depend on for their livelihoods - as nothing more than an assert that can be bought and sold at the whims of a founder is fundamentally gross to me. Sure, not every acquisition leads to layoffs, but many (most?) do and I think that's abhorrent.

I know it's how the world works, but I don't think the culture of starting a company to get acquired for a nice "exit" should be celebrated and I think policy measures that can stop or diminish this culture are fundamentally good.
Lots of places call these "commercial monitors".

Sadly, things have gotten to the point where I would not leave my bicycle unattended outside for any meaningful amount of time in any big city in the world. Lock or not. I even have stories of friends/coworkers having their bikes stolen out of protected storage in their apartment buildings.
The Communist Manifesto certainly sees things that way, but I don’t think capitalism has been like that in the USA since roughly Roosevelt’s New Deal. (I don’t want to suggest this happened everywhere at the same time: weirdly, my British history lessons don’t cover anything the British did or experienced between the two World Wars other than “Chamberlain was naïve”).

The iconic images of the downfall of Communism was the economic catastrophe, shops with empty shelves, etc.; Capitalism had a similar experience in the Great Depression, was changed by it, but the name remained.
This includes a lot of relatively basic info - for example, try finding any kind of info on how much current you may pull from the 3.3 V pins. Nada. This is only documented for the CM4 (iirc), but that is a rather different design. And while the CM4 does have a datasheet it's not exactly comprehensive.

Not just that but bias, they intend to promote certain content and demote others and that introduction of human bias essentially dillutes the effectiveness of the algorithm; you don't get what you are searching for per-se but someones opinion of what you should get.
- There is way more content to sift through, including video.

- There are way more Google users, including grandmas.

- Conversations have moved from discussion boards to walled gardens and chats.

- Google relies more on neural network embeddings, so does a better job when you type full sentences and semantic similarity.

- Google relies on authority signals and incoming links to a website, so non-commercial, hobbyist, or controversial content ranks way lower.

- Websites rely on Google for income, so they start producing what Google and its readers want to see.

- Spammers rely on Google for income, so those surviving after decades, have created massively successful linking rings and spam production pipelines looking at keyword search statistics.

- You were really good at Google searching years ago, having a harder time updating and letting go of what worked for you. Easier to blame Google for this.

As for tips: Anything academic, search on specific websites or Google Scholar. Anything technical/coding, search on StackOverflow. Anything cultural/commercial you want a peer answer, instead of a salesman answer, search on Reddit. Try to join like-minded communities where you can ask expert questions, and research new things in your field. Exact keyword match still works by enclosing keyword in double quotes:

Why does the article need to apologise that the book does not address “questions of gender, race, or generational relations”? There’s more than one prism through which we can look at the past (or the present, for that matter).

Anyway, the article makes a good case. And yes, they know about the seven years’ war.

They can't see the content of the Slack channel. But they can absolutely correlate the web request that loads the GIF with the other (illicitly-collected) data they have on you and have an even better signal on who you are, which companies/people you talk to, etc.
If "whistleblowers" are an item on your risk assessment sheet, you might want to rethink your methods.
> No, copyright isn't forfeited like that

Taking a step back, why not? Even (especially) real estate gets forfeited like that. It seems like the mp3s I've had for 20 years should fall under adverse possession. Or if you'd like a higher bar for openly possessed, then torrents have that have been publicly seeded for multiple decades.
The problem isn’t solvable by modifying search queries. The fundamental issue is that the web has filled up with content designed to trick Google into sending it visitors and to maximize ad revenue. So you have content that is thick with ranking signals and thin on useful and new data. You also have to scroll past many ads and filler to get to the answer to your search query.

The fundamental problem is that Google and the SEO spammer’s interests are aligned. Google is both the search provider and ad network. I think this makes Google tremendously vulnerable to competitors who don’t have that conflict of interest, and presents a massive opportunity to those with enough courage and cash.
It's not that unlikely - a lot of us in SV are on HN all of the time. It's the default 'waiting for something' site to check (along with Twitter). If you saw a negative story about a friend you'd be more likely to comment.
This is what worries me, about our society and way of life in general.

I look at your margins, high ~50%. I look at what you sell, retro games. Not a necessity and also not something that more can be made of, so fairly safe. Unless there is a downturn, then I hope that you have something tucked away.

I look at the recommendation: "Buy something undervalued from Facebook Marketplace and flip it, or import a small batch of a product with low local competition from Alibaba."

And I look around and see the same pattern being repeated. People becoming middle men, inserting themselves in supply chains and charging margin. Rise and repeat and you get more people just repackaging and charging more for what are simple products or things that people might want but do not need.

I dislike this sort of activity because the more margins that are paid mean the more money is siphoned off, fine for luxury good not so great for necessities.

I worry because as more of our economy is devoted to this activity, when there is a downturn large numbers of people lose their jobs.

I hate it morally because it goes against my views of a "good" society. We have created societal structures where people are close to the decision making process where as before we had Kings and courts. We have the ability to do the same with manufacturing, where the people could order directly and not through the "courts".

So I think the main excuse at the time was that people usually use latin for Klingon. Which honestly feels like a bit of a chicken and an egg problem to me...
> Everytime one of these threads show up, I find myself wondering why someone doesn't launch a technical and research focused competitor. There seems to be such broad agreement that Google is now terrible for research that there's for sure a market for it.

Your bubble seems to agree, but the lack of serious competition, even in niches, is a sign that outside the HN bubble Google is in fact not seen as any worse.
So you'd be OK with no login password on your daily driver? Personally that gave me a little bit of pause when trying it out. Still haven't decided what I think about it.
Im not quite sure what you mean. In the UK system everyone is a political appointee. Just how blatent a PM is about interfering in "independent" agencies depends on the PM. And Boris literally just sacked the head of the standards commission and dissolved it to save a political nobody who isn't even needed to shore up a majority.

There is no separation of powers here, as long as the PM is the PM, he is basically god.
Great question! So far we’ve experimented with the quick commerce players mostly to cover for out of stock items from the bigger grocers. E.g. if the grocer was out of tomatoes at the point of delivery, we offer our users the option to have the out of stock item delivered by a quick commerce service around the same time of the main delivery.

The majority of our current users seem to prefer one big grocery delivery per week. Because the benefit of having the planning and shopping done a few days in advance means that it prevents decision making on the other days.

Having said that, we believe that shorter times from planning to actual delivery are still key in the user experience. So same day delivery and pickup options by the grocers help to improve the overall experience.
> I do blame it on e-bikes, because enthusiasts will happily pay whatever is required to distance themselves from whatever the average consumer does

I don't think that has anything to do with it - e-bikes are inherently more complex, more tightly regulated (e.g. they need to be tuned to operate legally in specific jurisdictions), and subject to EU anti-dumping laws which drive up the price [0].

Interestingly enough, a close relative of mine paid 17k to do Hack Reactor and didn’t get a job. They eventually hired her to be a TA.

Overall, if I notice a company hiring a lot of boot campers, I try to leave and let them have mostly entry level workers. Their product and codebase eventually reflects their staff (inexperienced). If you stick around and shepherd them, you more or less undervalue yourself in the long term. Just let them run wild until the company decides ‘this was a mistake’.

It’s nothing personal, it’s just business. This is a lesson I learned the hard way early in my career where I literally trained my future replacements. Literally went out of my way to train them. This is a seriously amateur move, and a tough lesson to learn since no one wants to be a jaded asshole, but that’s just how the business is.
Perfectly stated.

I figure at this point my easiest path to becoming a billionaire would be to develop a time machine, go back to when you could buy a bitcoin for a dollar, and plop down $20K or so. That feels more realistic than me actually building a valuable company.
> The downside is of course there's a very good community of talented international developers on there.

There is a far larger community of horribly bad developers on there, many of them working at low rates to get high ratings. I am on both sides; hiring and getting hired and the hiring part is far more beneficial imho. What is a huge PITA as well; once someone who is rather mediocre (junior with some promise for instance), after a few good reviews they hike the price up so far that it makes no sense at all hiring them. I have used upwork (and before than Elance and others) for 20 years with 100s of people and almost always people overplay their hand and come back begging for another chance.
I think recruiters are great, as long as they actually work at the company they are hiring for. My policy has always been to respond to their linkedin messages saying thanks for reaching out but i'm not interested right now. One of those ended up becoming my current job.

The outside recruiters, "I have a client in XYZ industry with 100M in funding!" type where they don't even tell you the name of the company, you should just ignore.

I am not sure how any of your comment disproved cancel culture

Cancel Culture is a form of targeted harassment, generally originating online but not exclusive to that domain, where a group of individuals take offense to comments, opinions, jokes or "hot takes" then having become offend proceed either in coordination with others or not to contact the target of their harassment employers, landlords, business associates, family members, schools, etc in an effort to interfere with the relationships (personal or business) they have with the target of the harassment.

It is very much real, it is very much a reality, and it goes beyond simply "boycotts" of a business with a policy one dislikes.

People continuing to deny the existence of cancel culture highlights either an extreme ignorance of the modern world, or a willful disingenuous gaslighting in order to aid and continue to perpetuate cancel culture. I will leave it open to debate which of the 2 you are.
It is kinda sad that every facet of an interview has become a formula.
Yeah, but we shouldn't need 15, no, 17, no, 27... different ways to "update the UI when the data changes after an API call". Just one good one -- not necessarily the best, just good enough.

Something a bit more advanced than fetch, not quite as complex as useContext. To the end user, websites haven't really changed all that much since the early AJAX days. Input gets received, ajax happens, shit gets updated. Why has the tooling gotten 1000x more complex?
Dubai is in the desert and is more than thriving. On Average I was colder there than in Canada. Every indoor place has great Air Conditioning. Drinkable Water is converted from Ocean water. Its a model of what a future city could look like in the worst case climate change scenario, if human ingenuity is able to thrive.

Though, I'm still not convinced climate change will be all that bad. Making cold uninhabitable places in North Canada, and Russia more habitable for humans and wild life would be great. They also found palm fossils outside Calgary. So its not like Earth is not in a climate change cycle naturally.

And the people fear mongering about the collapse of civilization to advocate for certain politics, should be more worried about the immediate threat from bioterrorism, COVID lockdowns, or even the type of civilization breakdown that is happening in South Africa.

I'm personally in support of a high energy future, and I think Nuclear Energy is
the most realistic way we will get there.
Do you mean 'measurably?'

Well i don't know what you're talking about, i can always find the ads i m looking for. I mean the most serious business would pay the most to have their ad on top of results right? Works for meee

I also get SEO lessons from sites below the ads in the list, it's quite a sight to observe how they manage to all come up with the same content slightly rearranged, and still be clogging the frontpage.

Event sourcing is reifying a state machine transitions explicitly (in data). So the properties will depend on how the state machine is modeled.

If you don’t have strong ordering guarantees, it also means your state machine has to accept transitions from/to any state (eg comutative). Otherwise if ordering is important, your event log must have some ordering built-in (exactly once semantics) or you implement re-ordering and replay as past events arrive (a branching model).
