Honorary degrees are usually distinct from degrees earned. Some honorary degrees might have much less honor than others as in this case, but they don't debase the earned degrees.

What punishment would be fitting? At best an institution could posthumously retract the degree.
Thanks for the appreciation. In general at least for me I found it quite quick on Chrome/Windows, so at least under some scenario it can be reasonably quick. If it is slow, it's likely not React as I have quite a few other things that run slower, like the wallpaper. I haven't tested Safari much as I don't have a Mac, but I will continue to try and optimize. Thanks for feedback!
you thought they were appropriately feeling guilty but seeking outside encouragement to reject that feeling.

No, that's not remotely my intent at all.

Most people raise children on either a guilt model or shame model. I raised mine on the basis of enlightened self interest.

Understandably, many people read in accusations of guilt where none exist. They've been trained that way.

I'm only replying in hopes it provides some clarification for the person I originally replied to. I care not at all what others think of me or my motives etc. But I sincerely wish that their takeaway is "You don't need outside validation if you can see with your own eyes that it was for the best." and not "Here is some random internet stranger just adding to your pain because the world is an awful place full of awful people."

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try to clarify that detail.
I would just like to put in my $0.02 on this one.

I worked for St. Jude in the past, and it is one of the most delightful workplaces I have had the opportunity to be a part of.

It is a shockingly positive environment given the nature of their mission. People there joke that it’s “the last place you ever work.”

People on HN talk about feeling soul-sucked by work… well, if you want to know that what you’re doing matters, it’s hard to do better than helping cure child cancer.
10 years ago, the original engineer of Google's search engine told me what he now wanted was asynchronous, human-powered search with curated results, e.g. a Google-like interface, but queries cost $5 and take 15 minutes.

Money's no object for him, so he wanted to outsource the filtering, ranking, and interpreting of results. Would be even more useful today (albeit a tiny TAM.)
I wonder if the two might combine in an epigenetic effect?
Bitcoin can be designed however it wants, that doesn't magically grant it value.

It's value is only based upon how much value people ascribe to it. And for that, I don't really care how what people ascribe to it, so long as they pay for the pollution they produce in the process.
SEEKING WORK (Contract Only) - Digital Nomad (Currently Europe) - Remote Only

I'm open to contracting work. I just wrapped up a full time contract in December. I have a broad range of skills and ~20 years of experience.

I'm a polyglot and I'm competent in the following technologies:

- Ruby on Rails
- React/Typescript/Next.js
- Unity3D development (one of my previous roles was the lead engineer for an "Innovation Team" working on VR/AR).
- Smart Contract development (though not an expert).
- I even do some Android development (Kotlin) for my own startup.
- DevOps (AWS early adopter, though I'm not current). I mostly use Terraform for my own things.

I'm very slowly building a startup Twirrl (pre-launch http://twirrl.co) and the contracting helps pay for that.

All my contact details can be found on my profile.
Off topic, I suppose, but this seems like the place to ask if anyone knows how to find a book's library call number (like Dewey Decimal or LCCN) from knowing the ISBN for the book.

I've played around with various MacOS apps, EndNote, and a few other programs, but I've always found the solutions awkward. Does Zotero support this functionality? All I really need is a public SQLite database of book information that contains both ISBN and Call Numbers.

I have a library of (approximately 6000) books that need spine labels. Scanning ISBN's is easy with inexpensive hardware, generating barcoded spine labels isn't hard (using python + LaTeX), and applying them in an archival fashion isn't difficult (using laser printed non-acid paper and 3M Book Tape). The main difficulty is determining accurate Dewey Decimal call numbers for each book. It takes me up to several minutes per book to find this information by hand on the internet.

I'm wondering if there is a way that works programmatically and is less expensive than subscribing to the the WorldCat Search API, a service that makes sense for larger libraries.
I believe so. I remember when CDs first appeared, we used to makes tapes of them and then A/B test. With Dolby Noise Reduction(C) over speakers nobody could tell the difference and I had young ears back then. The quiet parts of Jazz or classical on newly recorded stuff through headphones there was less hiss, but for rock little difference. But they were always advertising new Xbit Digital to Audio conversions. Even my headphones had a "for digital" sticker on them (Sonys MDR-V6s and I don't think there was anything digital about them...)

I think its about feeling you have something special.

Of course now we've come full circle and records are the new best sounding thing.. I remember having to clean them and hearing pops and skips... but here we are.

but I'm old and my ears are happy with mp3s....
Sure, but starting from that end is like saying "I want to be a millionaire CTO who speaks at conferences" while having no tech experience.

To get recognition for doing a thing, you have to begin with doing the thing. And you're not going to make a mark in any field without being aware of what other people are doing.

Something that wasn't mentionned: that monkey jpg is ugly as sin. Github auto-generates icons and makes something that looks nice. Some people have worked on AI-generated art and made beautiful things. You could also take a camera, point it at the sky, take a picture every minute and get a better result than this. I don't get why when you get a NFT, it has to be an ugly monkey/ape/lion. Is there something attractice in their ugliness? I think the vast majority of people see them as ugly, at least from what I've seen online. What am I missing here?

> NFTs are swapped frequently to generate fake demand. Look at the transaction logs before buying

Sounds like an opportunity for a business. Get data on this, write a few articles on obvious scams, introduce a metric for how "scammy" and inflated the value of a specific NFT is, sell that notation.
No. Healthy soil means high carbon content (mycelium, microbes etc).

"Dead soil" that has been tilled too much will have fucked up nitrogen and other cycles, requiring irrigation, supplemental fertilizer and more pesticides.

The climate crisis angle is just icing on the cake.
I fly small planes and I'm usually into a snack bar before I level off. I do try to make one liter of water last the whole flight, though, which can be up to 5 hours.
Glad to hear it went well. I had this going on a 4th gen i7 and it also wasn't too slow, so I think it depends on a few factors as to how quick it is for others.
Yup. And besides, it's been clear for a good while now that it boils down to personal protection and keeping hospital capacity at bay. Yet there is so much illogical fear of "antivaxxers/unvaccinated" in the vaccinated crowd.

The way I see it that's only a problem if you want to be bigger than Google. But you can get to $1B in revenue with just the deliberate adopters (i.e. under 1% of the market).
It's possible Safari is indeed a bit slower, also the animated wallpaper seems to have mixed performance results.
I think it's also worthwhile to note that the whole article is talking about hiring salespeople, so surely you'd want someone who is able to be personable and think on their feet.

Fair enough, I've seen situations where tech was a lower caste and this could be a sign of that if it wasn't bidirectional.

Can you justify it for the sake of food?
Sorry that your experience has been influenced by people that are obviously not good at their jobs (both on the founder and VC side). What you describe definitely happens, but is not what the best founders and VCs actually do.

If you're raising money from a good fund today you're definitely not subject to "predatory contracts". People are raising a lot of capital for pretty low dilution, and there's plenty of secondaries availability.

I also don't know what you mean by founders having a smaller network or less experience; if you really spend time with good founders you'll see that a lot of them 1) have expertise in their area of focus 2) are pretty well connected.

I'm worried about too much of this narrative being repeated on here; just like with any other job, some people have only be exposed to bad managers / co-workers. That doesn't mean the whole industry is like that.
Yes, this is an unfortunate truth.

This is why I limited the meetings to 30min and made sure to ask explicitly about what they are looking for.

If they phrase it as "early employee" or "head of eng" or anything other than cofounder, you're looking at a relationship where you are paid for your time, not respected as a cofounder
I don’t think that applies here! Bell Labs was working on this tech and had a device that would send pictures every few minutes as early as 1956/7. My dad was able to use a demo videophone in 1964 at the NY World’s Fair.

It was a real thing that AT&T was serious about. But for all of the amazing tech they couldn’t make it a product that people wanted.

I’d imagine that with the close relationship that phone companies had with the military, they understood how “addictive” and important mobile tech was. Think about the Soviet statues of generals holding telephones!
Exactly, and then its not limited to just bitcoin, but any process that creates pollution (coal power, dirty manufacturing, forest removal, etc).

If pollution stops being free, the market will finally be incentivized to reduce it.
>Best case, it also creates effective pressure for extra terrestrial colonization, pluralizing our egg baskets. NIMBY could fuel human exploitation of the solar system.

I feel like this glamorizes the issue and makes the fundamental fact that we aren't respecting the humanity of those around us RIGHT NOW seem like it's all part of a grand "plan". Versus the more obvious fact that the society we currently have created is suboptimal and must be corrected
I think you have to look at it more like Amazon Prime.

Nobody is going to pay for /just/ a search engine. But they might pay for, say, a /better/ search engine, plus additional features around gmail/gcal/gdrive.

Think of it more as subscribing "to google" and less as subscribing to "google search".

Regardless, the point isn't to "fix" google. It's to highlight a possible path for a new market entrant.

... If an existing player wanted to make a move here, I would say that both Mozilla and Apple are well positioned to add "personalized search" to a subscription service. Same with Microsoft. DDG could also make moves here if they expanded beyond search.
SEEKING FREELANCER(S) - REMOTE

Datamuse makes dictionary websites, APIs, and brainstorming tools. In 2022 we're looking for a few curious and self-motivated freelance developers with experience in natural language processing pipelines and a few other areas. See https://www.datamuse.com/jobs for more details.

It's not clear that they demonstrated causality here; I would guess that the explanation is a 'dreaded third thing'. Homelessness tends to be most concentrated in rich coastal cities; the desirability and wealth also happen to cause high rents (especially relative to earnings).

One of the chart captions says "Homelessness climbs faster when rent affordability reaches 22% and 32% thresholds", but they don't seem to have actually found data that demonstrated this was a temporal (rather than a geographic) effect.
Thanks! Smooth was for sure a goal of mine, although from the feedback I've seen I think Chrome+Windows is the only certain way to keep it smooth. Thanks about the streams too, I enjoyed making them and they motivated me to keep going.
WattTime | Multiple Positions | Remote in US

Hi HN, I work on a scrappy team at WattTime, where we model marginal operating emission rates for electricity consumption around the world. Marginal emission rates are insanely actionable in the fight against climate change, as our users control flexible loads (electric vehicles, thermostats, batteries, industrial loads, etc.) around our signal to know precisely which power plants will be responding to a change in load. This can mean the difference between using renewable energy versus coal.

We are also a founding member of Al Gore's Climate TRACE initiative, where we're using remote sensing to measure emissions from every power plant in the world.

We have a few roles open, ranging from DevOps to ML.

This is the best culture I've ever worked at, and we measure real impact in our daily work. We're run as a non-profit and have great funding. Feel free to reach out: sam at watttime dot org

I don't think too much competition has ever killed a product category. Usually the "few exceptions" end up dominating a market.
It's the devil's CAPTCHA, basically. And apparently you have to do it ten times in a row. Some evidence in the thread that this only applies to non-Edge browsers.
No. That's why Non-Profits, 501(c) corps in the US, exist.

Speaking Freely: Why I resigned from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
This is a very interesting approach. Do you have traffic data collection on your blog?
They wouldn't want to. What I'm curious about is if they can without retooling or purchasing equipment. Say due to chip shortages affecting the US military the government invoked the Defense Production Act to require some company with only state of the art fabs to make an older chip.

From what I've read, the way a layer on a chip is made is a coating is deposited on the surface that is sensitive to light at certain wavelengths. They then use light of wavelengths that the coating is sensitive to in order to transfer a pattern from a photomask to the surface, making some change to the coating at those places where the light is not blocked by the photomask. Then they can treat the surface to remove the coating at those places were it was changed by the light.

They then can deposit thing onto or remove things from those parts of the surface not still protected by the coating. Then they can use something that can remove the coating. The result is a layer on the chip with things deposited or removed right where they wanted them to, as determined by the pattern on the photomask.

Repeat for more layers.

The major improvements from generation to generation are the ability to use shorter and shorter wavelengths of light for the photolithography which allows for transferring patterns that have smaller features, and maybe the ability to make thinner layers so you can make chips with more layers.

I don't see anything in the photolithography process that requires using small feature size. If for some reason you wanted to build an older chip that only used much larger features, I'd expect that it would just be a matter of using the photomasks for that older chip, and setting the layer thickness to what the old design called for.
It is better to just accept that nothing is going to happen between Thanksgiving and New Years. Chill out, enjoy the holidays, and don't push so hard.
I agree very much with this. It seems that between the walled gardens and also people being so reluctant to have “their” audience leave their site/page/etc the discoverability of the web has dropped dramatically.
Indeed! I liked that Wikipedia said "Daedalus was a skillful architect and craftsman, seen as a symbol of wisdom, knowledge and power". Not to suggest I am that, but the name seemed cool anyway.
These articles have the tendency to just switch one narrative for another.

We have one team who say "Depression does not really exist, it's a combination of laziness, time will simply heal, you need to summon some efforts and get over it.

And then we have another team of : "You need to listen, be empathetic, depression is real, it can be devastating, don't try to solve problems, just be patient and listen."

All in all, I am not learning anything. And neither address real questions.

- Should you just listen when your partner want to end his/her life
- What if you had enough? What if there are kids in the equation?
- How other societies are coping up with it. Asian countries are addressing it very differently for example.

On the other hand, Tatcher was a world leader (behind Reagan and Gorbatsjov).

I wasn't surprised to see LA here. When I was a young adult.
, anyone could get a minimum wage job, and while it wasn't the absolute best apartment, you at least had a roof over your head.

Now the city is a living nightmare for anyone who doesn't make at least 100K a year, I also noticed in the last 10 years or so the city got much meaner. The charm is gone, but I think rational people will move and be fine.

If you want to be stupid, and watch your rent increase well beyond what you can afford, stay. This isn't just LA, but any unaffordable city.
Yes, agreed completely.
