What do you think reduces consolidation? Genuinely curious. I think there are other strategies that will work, but taxation is extremely effective at reducing variance of wealth distribution.

Use the sun as a lens and you won't need a megastructure.
This has happened to me unfortunately and didn't feel good at all. I ran `rclone sync` on the folder that had .git instead of the correct subdirectory, and that removed files not present in the source with confirmation (like rsync --delete-after). I've learned to commit and push to a remote frequently (which is easy with Git because you can use any machine you can SSH).

There’s no guarantee of that, and definitely no guarantee it won’t happen in the future.

One example: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/16/arts/television/netflix-d...

To say nothing of the far more common case of whole works simply disappearing as publishing/streaming rights shift around.
No, physics is getting in the way.

In the 1980s most computer architectures (C-64, Apple ][) were tightly coupled and didn't let you swap in faster chips as technology got better.

There was an explosive growth in computer power in the 1990s because of "Dennard Scaling" (corrected) in which making chips smaller not only meant more transistors (Moore's Law) but also that those transistors were faster.

Circa 2005 that "free ride" ended and you started getting more cores instead of faster cores.

Intel struggled to make the 10 nm process which is still not completely successful. Newer processes need a special light source that blows up a droplet of tin to make a plasma explosion that makes extreme ultraviolet light. It's all very expensive and makes each generation more of a stretch then the one before.
I think you are a little bit too harsh here. The author is one of the leading developers at Comma.ai - the company behind OpenPilot. I am closely following the project and regardless of what is your attitude towards OpenPilot, the author is definitely not someone, who jumps into EPS hacking without being aware of implications of his actions.
Yes! I'm the author and this is the next feature I was planning on adding, I was even planning on naming it `dura status`. First I need to get better logging (to a JSON file), and then expose it via `dura status`. It occurs to me that having all that data could tell me a lot about how I work, so it could unlock some very interesting usages of dura.

Would you mind creating a Github issue? The project could benefit from more discussion around this.

Fair enough, a security device that can be on your keychain does sound convenient. I use hardware security keys these days, probably a similar experience.

SMS does sound proper annoying, not only delays/roaming issues, but also because you probably still have to manually type over numbers.

For most thing I just need to scan a QR code, then type in a pin or use face id to confirm, very quick and easy. For big transactions I still need the device, and that's when I realize how annoying it really is haha.

Anyway, hope you have found a better bank!
What is the practical advantage of fusion power over newer fission reactor designs? If we desire nuclear energy, why not just build out, say, a bunch of molten salt reactors?

It seems that the primary reasons we don't see more nuclear power are 1) it's highly capital intensive (big upfront investment for uncertain reward), and 2) it's expensive to comply with safety regulations. How does fusion solve these problems?

Yes, but for anyone considering this, keep in mind that any funds converted to Roth are subject to taxation now, less the Roth contribution limit (varying by your income). So you're picking between tax deferral now versus tax-free distributions later. There's no way to get both.

"We had an urgent and time-sensitive web frontend project and Derick was very responsive and crucial in helping us get this project done in time. As it was our first web project given to a freelancer, we made a couple of mistakes and the designs we provided were not fully detailed out, but Derick was very patient with us and walked us through the design, and made sure we considered all the use cases that we had missed. I would definitely recommend Derick for any freelance web development projects you have!" — Sanju Varghese, Product Engineer at Reframe (YC S21)

I look forward to your email.
Nonsense - you can get everything from trash to exceptional quality food, depending on the store you buy it from. Not disputing your point that small farmers have it hard but on the consumer side there's lots of choice.
I don't understand why Netflix is in FAANG at all other than because it makes the acronym work ... they are a single-purpose service with almost no ecosystem impact. They could disappear and 99.9% of people would shrug and switch to a closely equivalent service. Every other "FAANG" is deeply integrated into complex ecosystems with huge economic impact.
That's one way to look at it, if you want to radically oversimplify the problem.

Another way to look at it is there currently exists very clear discrimination practices based other vectors (income, geography, history). System racism is intersectional.

Arguing that it is "all or nothing" is another tactic to erase the existence of discrimination. This fallacy is often deployed intentionally.
What I want to know is... what's the rate of myocarditis in vaccinated individuals who get covid compared to the rate of myocarditis in unvaccinated individuals who get covid?

It is now obvious that the vaccines do not prevent covid. But do the vaccines reduce the likelihood of myocarditis for when I do catch covid? Or is it the same 150 per 100k that the CDC estimates?

> if Jim has corrected me once already or has registered a preference that I've seen, I should probably address them as they'd prefer, right? Anything else is just being an asshole, IMO

I agree (but honestly, if the preference is for something like "zhe" I will be rolling my eyes a bit).

> They/them went out of favor a while back

I really don't like the singular use of "they" as it was drummed into my head in 12 grades of English classes that it was wrong, and now it's a mental speedbump whenever I see it in writing.
I don't even buy tomatoes any more, they all taste like wet paper.

Yeah, I figured the end-user support would fall under the abstract "complexity" I mentioned in my original comment. I can build a hotrod in my garage but nobody sane will use it for public transportation.
Much, much less long-term radioactive waste.

It's a lot more energy, for less fuel, but that may be mitigated by the cost of the reactor.

Cardbox | $60k part-time (20hr/wk) | Remote (PST ±5) | Fullstack, Rails & React.JS | https://getcardbox.com/

Cardbox is one of the fastest-growing power-ups for Trello (100,000+ installs).

Bootstrapped, no plans to raise VC. This is the first hire, you'll be working alongside myself. I was technical founder of Yardsale (YC S11, acq. 2015), and lead technical advisor for HBO Silicon Valley (s3).

-

Stack: React.JS, Rails, and Redis to coordinate 1m+ synchronizations per day. Most of the UI runs in an iframe on Trello.com, which requires cross domain considerations [1].

-

There are plenty of tools to add Kanban boards to Gmail, and they're all pretty successful. Kanban boards are better than lists for organizing workflows.

But Cardbox is the first to do the inverse. We add a Gmail inbox to Trello. Other tools can only support some subset of Trello features, usually poorly.

This 1) is harder to build (so more valuable), 2) offers better UX than a Trello knock-off, and 3) works with existing integrations, so it benefits from Trello's significant network effects.

Lastly, Gmail is missing from Trello as a built-in feature but present in almost every competitor (e.g. Monday.com). They will either build or buy this, so it's important to move fast.

Good point. Definitely don't plan on working like this for a long time. I'm building up my savings to make a few large investments and start my own company.

Startup as a side job? That would take a ton of work. I typically only spend about 10-15 hours per week working each job.

Background checks, outside of the government / defense industry, are quite superficial, so I wouldn't be too concerned. The ones I am familiar with mostly focus on criminal and financial records (credit scores, etc.) None of these are going to surface that you have several overlapping, high paying W-2 jobs. Multiple jobs are normal in many circles.

As for legality, unless you are a high level, executive position, I wouldn't worry about it. I assume you are discreet in your activities and do not draw attention to yourself. So you'd need to be discovered... Then someone has to care enough to do something about it... Then they have to actually sue you.

I'd be more worried about keeping your sanity. ;) How are you able to swing this, logistically? For example, how do you handle meeting conflicts? Are they in different time zones?

Hello Hacker News, I'm Einar!

I am posting on here to find opportunities in the US.

I just completed my MS in computer science at University of Copenhagen.

Now I am excited to put five years of study into building state-of-the-art software.

My interests are functional and massively-parallel programming.

I am looking for (onsite) junior roles with friendly colleagues.

- Making life better for the people helped least in the world
- High autonomy and few required meetings
- Start-up life without the ridiculous hours and with good compensation

Roles:

- Senior Front-End Engineer
- Senior Full-Stack Engineer
Still you have to go out of your way AND spend money, vs just opening your favorite torrent tracker, searching for whatever you want, and choosing the quality/codec/language. I've honestly never understood the appeal of not pirating.
Yeah, I cant count how many times I have seen SPAs have tons of calls to an endpoint that passes back huge amount of data when the client needed a single property from the response. This can get artificially bad in large companies that require devs to onboard each endpoint through an API exchange/gateway...because they avoid creating new endpoints.
Yes, it did.

I remember one personal website that's been linked on HN (https://www.gwern.net/) where hovering links show a preview of the page, a bit like wikipedia is doing, but not limited to the top, where it's possible to scroll up and down. I think a similar system could be interesting when dealing with technical subjects.
No. I stand by everything I wrote.
Where do we have an indication of how far he had to go?
It absolutely supports my claim if you actually read what I posted. Per the link:

>Microsoft Germany’s headquarters in Munich, which opened its doors four years ago, was designed with the modern workplace in mind, to ensure that employees and visitors alike are in an environment which truly gets the best out of them.

Furthermore, 2014 or 2016 - claiming that Munich is switching back to Windows due to Microsoft building a new headquarters without any factual basis for the claim, especially when the HQ was committed to long before the switch was announced, is libel at best.

And now 'women' are no longer in that category, which may be contributing to Tara's alienation.

Maybe the news media are just playing out a future where every minority within a minority needs to have it's fifteen minutes of being seen and then watch the attention it receives get diverted to the next most underrepresented group until we run out of turtles.
Back in the day, people had these things called "lives" with irl friends and loved ones. Back then, watching a movie was a special thing you did that brought people together, they didn't need to binge 10 hours of content every night. A few movies a week was plenty.
Somehow i think this field should be researched more thoroughly. Imagine a plan B for complete societal collapse, or war like situations where digital systems are not available, yet some basic agricultural computations or means of communication can be achieved purely by mechanical computing systems. For instance typing on a typewriter (or predefined message buttons) while spinning a basic motor could create radio waves; similarly something could receive such messages and decode them. Perhaps even for space com such a device could be used as backup. If anything it might be interesting to have knowledge about.
So basically the rocket equation applied to water.
SHRDLU was a simple world you could manipulate with English prose back in the 1960s.

Unless you feel you need flowery expressive input as well as output. But do we really need input more sophisticated than that of Zork here?
We are not eating soil, we are eating plants (and animal flesh). An atom of (say) molybdenum taken up by a plant will be put into use in that plant in a way that's not dependent on its state in the soil.

Measurement and correction of soil trace element abundances -- often on a small scale -- is already state of the practice for large scale agriculture.

The whole micronutrient thing sounds like trying to apply a thin coating of science to a non-scientific thought process.
> Easy enough to solve: tax wealth and redistribute it with a UBI.

These are extremely independent problems.

The problem with concentration isn't taxes, it's a regulatory environment that promotes concentration. You take money from Bezos, it doesn't change the size of Amazon.

A UBI would help some by making it easier to start a small business, but unless you address the underlying regulatory problems that give every advantage to consolidated megacorps, that's not enough.

One of the big problems is taxes though, specifically the taxation of dividends that get reinvested. Under the existing system, if you're Apple and you make iPhones and pay dividends to shareholders who invest them in a separate company that makes microprocessors, they pay more tax than if Apple keeps the money and makes its own microprocessors. And it works that way for everything, so corporations grow without bound and the tax system encourages that.

The easy fix is to make investment a tax deduction but sale of an investment fully taxable instead of only on the gain. We already try to do this in a hundred places, 401k and Roth IRAs and not taxing gains until they're realized, because it's obviously a good idea and promotes investment. But because we specifically don't do it in the case where you take profits from one company and invest them into an independent one, we've been promoting indefinite corporate expansion for decades.
> I'm actually struggling to think of a business scenario where using the proper pronoun would be more professional or polite than just using someone's given name.

It works at first to just always use names and theys, but the longer a conversation goes on, the more awkward little nooks and crannies you find where it sure would be convenient to have a third-person singular pronoun for referencing the thing the person just said as you expand on it or synthesizing between statements made by multiple other participants. Maybe each one individually has a solution, but the cumulative effect of these small hitches and inefficiencies does build up.

Anyway, it's not impossible to make this feel natural, of course, and some people put in the work to master it. But there's a reason To Kill A Mockingbird stands out as a book that almost completely conceals the gender of its narrator and main character until about halfway through the story.
