On a abstract level a lot of problems are business process problems and can be modeled in that way , it doesn't mean one company working one one type of problem should have excellence in another, hiring problems are very very different from freight logistics.

I don't know anything about Flexport, I know about hiring tech that perhaps helps you to understand what goes behind such processes.

Hiring tech usually can be grouped in 4/5 buckets. Applicant Tracking Systems(ATS) /Workflow tools, Sourcing, Screening / Selection , Offer / Negotiation and Finally on-boarding. In each category depending on type of hire(Full Time/Contract), departments/skills(tech/sales/finance etc), and geographic locations(U.S./Europe/Mexico etc) you could end needing dozens of tools.

It is not unusual for a startup not have tools to manage their workflows yet, the hiring processes evolve a lot in early stage companies, they insource/outsource and shift all the time, each dept or new VP brings theirs own ideas with little standardization etc. Few startups invest in an ATS ( not just buy actually put effort to deploy) at < 500-1,000 head count. It takes a long time for all this to settle down for any growing company.

Workflow tools like ATSes are systems of records designed for compliance and to help the recruiter not the candidate. That means most recruiters have little incentive to update the records of a rejected candidate into the system, they are only measured by offers made/ joined etc, once you are rejected a typical recruiter will loose interest fast, few would even let you know that properly, even fewer would know why you were rejected and update the system ( if it exists at all) .

Hiring managers are also guilty, post an interview rarely do they give comments( to the recruiter after the interview) even if they do, it is even less likely that those can be be shared to a candidate.

Also finally even for companies working on solving hiring problems, it is not easy to solve their own hiring process issues. It is rare for one company to be building all the tools needed by a company to hire. i.e. HackerRank/Codility may build great coding tools, but they still need to use ATS or sourcing tools in their hiring processes, and that can mean their processes are also not perfect and have similar problems.
It's quite easy to burn more money than you want to. My startup had $15k in AWS credits and the other guy in the business set fire to it in no time, running windows based EC2 instances is a sure fire way to go through a lot more money than you realise.
Chirality? You mean, of organic molecules?

Plants make their own organic molecules. They're not fungi, slurping them up from the soil.

Micronutrients, as the term is used in agriculture, means specific chemical elements that are needed in lesser amounts than the primary nutrients (N, P, K) and the secondary nutrients (Ca, Mg, S). Micronutrients are B, Cu, Fe, Cl, Mn, Mo, and Zn.

Soil structure is of course important, but that doesn't have anything to do with micronutrients.
A problem is that good SEO doesn’t meant good quality. And assessing quality is hard, so people lean on other people to assess quality (either by appending something like “Reddit” to their search queries or asking friends irl or on twitter/discord).

I wrote a bit more about search engines competition and problems/opportunities here - How Alternative Search Engines Can Win Users https://konaraddi.com/writing/2021/2021-08-05-on-search-comp...
It's still big webish in the sense it asssumes most of life is digital.

What if I want no server, and websites I want to read is not about people.
Fission is relatively expensive globally, even China has major cost issues. It’s not a question of red tape, people really did try to operate nuclear without massive safety systems for example, that repeatedly failed.

In one case the US army had people manually lifting control rods on a dead simple reactor, someone messed up and the SL-1 melted down killing 3 people. Dig into thing and you can find well over a dozen reactors that melted down and many others that suffered significant damage from one mistake or another. So, now everyone builds and maintains redundant safety systems, but that simply isn’t free.

It isn’t any one thing keeping costs high. I was personally hopeful the Advanced CANDU reactor would drive down costs by avoiding expensive enrichment, but apparently it was overall more expensive.
Except, if you're in a town that only has a McDonalds, and you violate the rules of being at said McDonalds, and McDonalds says you are not welcome here, then guess what? You aren't allowed in.

Also: there's plenty of competition for posting videos, including doing it yourself. Your real argument is "I want them to be able to force YouTube to publish what a government official says, in spite of policy violations, because people only watch videos on YouTube". Which is clearly unconstitutional, but let's go with it. Should Fox News be required to provide whatever AOC tells them to broadcast, with no commentary disagreeing with her statements? After all, the people who watch Fox News only watch Fox News - you can't point to MSNBC, CNN, etc as the people who use Fox News only use Fox News.

But of course not. The real issue is that these are politicians want to lie about a disease during a pandemic, promote homophobic, transphobic, anti-semitic, and generally awful content, and these platforms have policies that they very clearly that you don't get to class groups as untermensch and stay on their platform.
I agree the proof for defrauding investors was less arguable. However there were still clear indications that she should have known the tests offered to patients were unreliable. For example, Schultz told her, before resigning, that it was not OK for Theranos to continue re-running their benchmark tests until they got a passing result (kind of like shaking the magic 8 ball until it, on the fourth shake, correctly answers the question “Is today Sunday?” — then selling it as an oracle). One employee flagged it for her attention that females were getting results that should only be possible if they had prostates — and she dismissed this as well! There was other evidence introduced during court that showed she knew the tests her company was doing for customers were not as accurate as she claimed, too. I would have loved to see her found guilty on these counts as a result, and I would also love to hear about the jurors' reasoning for not doing so.

Funnily, I (native American English speaker who learned French in QC, and whose accent in French indicates this) tried it both ways. I think the accent is basically built in both ways, which makes sense, although it would be more interesting if it based your accent in the output off the phonology in the input.

Maybe the main observed motivation. But I'd argue that a lot of that is just a fraudulently-profitable front to much more devious problems.

Hi, HN.

I'm an intermediate level developer that's been programming for seven years, two of which professionally. I pride myself in my back-end work, but have experience with a wide variety of software development topics and technologies.

My most recent project is Decent, a censorship-resistant chatroom application that utilizes the Nano cryptocurrency network to allow for immutable communications to take place without the use of a central server. By using a block lattice network, users can send long messages to one another at relatively quick speeds for millionths of a dollar's value on a network which is near impossible for bad actors to block access to or modify.

If you're a startup or small company doing interesting work in need of out-of-the-box thinking and problem solving skills, I'd love to talk.
It upsets me, but I wouldn't say "blows my mind". Prosecutors need to focus their strike where the charges are the strongest against well armored defendants. The people who suffered health-wise will now be able to more easily win civil suits, which will help them more than adding jail time to her impending swntence.
Advertising is perhaps the wrong word. AFAIK HN does not charge for those placements, it is a privilege[1] given to YC startups. If they are getting enough applicants on those posts and HN rules allow them to post often then why would they not keep posting ?

[1] Technically paid with the equity companies give YC I suppose
Interesting. Some complete speculation about what you were mixed up in…

Demand in first half 2018 was super hot, and depleted inventories. Wholesalers and retailers built up inventories of finished goods in anticipation of The Greatest Christmas Ever. Manufacturers did not, and kept inventories thin.

But demand fell off a cliff in the back half of 2018, and the The Greatest Christmas Ever was a dud. 2019 saw canceled orders and capacity shutting down quickly in the first half of the year. By the holiday season 2019, I was driving around the ports of LA and Long Beach seeing containers stacked high in warehouse lots, and overflowing car lots, some with 2018 model year cars.

Anyway, 1-10m puts you in a weird pocket when things were moving so fast like that. In 2018, you are too big to fill the order, because bigger players are sucking all the air out of the room. In 2019, you are too small for them to turn capacity back on for.

I’ve been following this stuff since the 1980s, and 2018-now is the weirdest semi market ever, with two sharp upcycles and a sharp downcycle sandwiched in between, all in the space of 4 years.
That's why viruses coming out of bats are so scary. Bat immune systems are strange and complex, but they allow the virus room to exist and mutate.
Not exactly sure what you are referring to, but this seems consistent with my article.

> To use traditional machines, Theranos had to dilute some of the smaller samples it collected. It appears that Theranos carried out another 60 tests using this method in December 2014.

> Some of the potassium results at Theranos were so high that patients would have to be dead for the results to be correct, according to one former employee. This is because, lab experts told The Journal, "finger-pricked blood samples can be less pure than those drawn from a vein because finger-pricked blood often mixes with fluids from tissue and cells that can interfere with tests."
To answer your last question: yes! I've had a lot of fun with the quests in the new areas. Old Ebonheart is also a great place to explore.
I've torn down a few myself always had leftover parts. I usually find out what it was months later, if at all. Most of the time it's just some extraneous retaining bolt. One time it was a vacuum hose(those are the worst). Plugged it with a bolt and it ran fine til I sold it.

Last time though, I used tape and labeled every single hose, wire, screw, etc. Unsurprisingly, there were no extra parts afterall :).
In modern culture, marketing becomes the zeitgeist. Successful marketing enters the awareness of consumers and sticks, serving as a proxy for whatever product, service, or need people find value in. Google, #labelThis , .com, web 2.0.

Web 2.0 was a particular characteristic of websites in which pages achieved real-time interactions without intervention by the user. You could load, cache, and serve streams of content using novel Javascript capabilities with a gradually maturing suite of free and open source server software and programming languages. It ushered in video, endlessly scrolling text feeds, real-time mass surveillance, and sophisticated, purposeful attention capture at scale.

If web 3.0 means anything, it'd be nice if it represented the mitigation of all the worst harms wrought by web 2.0

If there's another substantial shift in the workings of the web, the 3.0 moniker will naturally attach itself to the phenomena that bring it about.

This current buzzy trend of web 3.0 nonsense is marketing tripe that hasn't caught on to any serious degree because consumers aren't recognizing any value in the products and services being tagged as 3.0, and nobody can articulate exactly what need a consumer would be filling with any of the current web 3 silliness. It's a giant circle jerk of influencers and marketing departments shilling solutions that don't exist yet for a problem they can't explain, but are certain must exist.

Meh. Tldr; web 2.0 was a real thing, which arose organically in a vibrant online web development culture before it became a corporate buzz word. Web 3.0 is overexcited silliness - pure, unadulterated, entirely superficial hype.
Copyright Law is the existing and established answer to that question that society has agreed upon. The article already explained how it benefits society: by protecting the people who create things of value for long enough that they can profit, in order to incentivize the creators to create. I don’t see how asking this sheds any light on the discussion, am I missing something or can you elaborate more?
The volume of topsoil when you multiply it out at x feet deep by y millions of acres is truly staggering, but you can certainly build rich soil very quickly (single digit years) if you only need a small farms-worth. Occasional grazing and fire is not the most efficient method.

I can't help but recommend the book "farmers of forty centuries" by FH King for a look at what it takes to produce 3 seasons of crops per year to feed the populations of China/Japan/Korea on very slim, mountainous real estate circa 1900. Spoiler alert: it's a lot of hu-manure and manual labor.

OP asked whether automakers could use N7. I answered. Also, in theory, if there would be ample N7 capacity, nuts or not nuts, there's no theoretical problem with it and you could get a real metric shit ton of STM32 out of a single wafer using N7.
This is interesting, but even a brief discussion of selection bias would help it be more convincing. If you pick the most wildly successful mutation out of the thousands of available choices of course it is going to be an outlier in numerous ways. Isn't it perhaps even likely that the most widespread variant would have a low number of silent mutations and strong immune-evasion capabilities?
Statement #1: "Lol idiots this is horse dewormer!"

Statement #2: "This suggested treatment does not have the desired effect in clinical trials. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8406455/"

Can you agree that those are entirely different statements? And that one is trolling while the other is informative?
I have some yik yak socks I got a few months before they went bankrupt. Didn’t know there’s a market for that.
I'm guessing it's impossible to get the lab leak rate down to 0.

And assuming there are currently thousands of labs studying covid, even with a low leak rate there could be some leaks. But of an already existing virus, so not so bad.
To be clear the ability to have copyright was enabled by the constitution, but the constitution didn’t directly create any such laws.
Was there a smoking gun I missed?

Not sure how that's anything moved. See visa/Mastercard to take your premise further.
What kind of work did you do before?

I actually had a 6 year gap in my work history before, but I got lucky, found some freelance work through on an old freelancer site, and then 6 months later ended up getting hired at a proper salaried job. It took some effort to massage the resume to fill in the gap though.

Now I've repeated a gap, but only 2 years, so hopefully not as painful to rectify.
"I will soon start a series of posts about the Apple IIgs, the most successful of the series." This https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/a/498 claims the 2e outsold the 2gs by more than 4 to 1. The former was in the market for far longer, was cheaper, and thus was the mainstay purchase for many mid/late-1980s schools.
Yes! OpenMW is amazing. I just did a full play-through without any issues and heavily modded to boot. Very stable, good performance, etc.

I also recommend this site:

https://modding-openmw.com/

for a good curated list of mods. It takes an age and a half to go through the installation of any of the lists, but the results have been very pleasant.
This is not true. Growth hormones are not approved for us in chickens by the FDA. All chicken sold in the US is hormone free.

See, eg, https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/Are-hormones-used-for-livesto...: “No steroid hormones are approved for use in poultry”

It’s certainly true that today’s meat birds are MUCH bigger than heritage breeds, but that’s a result of selective breeding, not hormones.

Lawnmowers in the suburbs. You will have to sink a lot into advertising. But if you have to hire 10 staff you can get them dropping flyers right away.

Getting geographically close customers is key to making it viable.

You don't need to pay high wages, the training is minimal , and managing it is straight forward.

It's not going to make loads of money but you should be able to get profitable quickly.

What ever you do 500k for 10 staff is scary.
What's the deal with moving to Berlin anyway?

Infrastructure is pretty bad (try getting good internet or mobile reception, even as a business), as are labor and tax laws and the motivation of most employees is pretty low as a result (high security, limited mobility - need tenure to retain the security, low impact of actions - both under and over performing), additionally, everything is a bureaucratic nightmare, better get out the fax machine.
I gave up interest in playing Morrowind ages ago but I still follow this project just because they continue to impress. With this as a foundation, we’re looking at a feature complete FOSS Skyrim engine in under a decade, maybe.
It seems to me like one could market a device that isn't much more than a RPI that would download a container image from small-web-dot-registry that would run a webserver that encapsulates the site one authored on small-web-dot-com.

This image could have some smarts to either punch the right holes through the the router's firewall or do something even more clever with a peer-to-peer mesh network.

At the end of the day, what one would have is a website of their own that they control within their residence. It would foster a lot of this small web spirit and be very cheap to bring to market and maintain.
This smear could not be further from the truth.

China has singlehandedly (to the extent that a billion people can be considered a "single hand") dropped the cost of solar energy from five times as expensive as fossil fuels to half as expensive as fossil fuels in only ten years, an innovation that will probably stop global warming and usher in an unprecedented age of energy abundance starting about eight years from now. And it's not just solar; Chinese-designed nuclear reactors are also starting to be exported around the world. JLCPCB has automated custom circuit-board assembly to the point where you can get prototypes in your hands for US$10, two orders of magnitude cheaper than previously. When covid hit China, before PCR tests and antibody tests, they haled people caught with fever into walk-in fever clinics where they got chest-only CT scans, and by July they had developed a vaccine and were vaccinating people who had to travel abroad, five months before any vaccines were approved in most other countries, including the US, Germany, the UK, and Russia. And obviously every electronic device you own is mostly made in China unless it's an antique.

Can you imagine an Englishman in World War II saying, "It's also not clear that the US is particularly good at leading high tech innovation. If you just look at the pounds and shillings, they should be inventing new technology at a similar rate as the UK. Doesn't seem like they're pulling their weight."?

Years back I worked with a gent who developed the back end of the site that saw enough traffic to support our team via advertisements.

He was, from my perspective, very sharp. He said that his manager at a previous job stated that the most valuable skill was getting along with others. The manager stated that he could train any human monkey to code, but the interpersonal relationships skills were tops in his view.
According to the blog post that we are commenting on, there is a strange ratio of silent to functional mutations. How can this be accounted for if it was a natural course of evolution?
