Agree with your sentiment here - not every non-technical founder is out to get you with MBA jargon. My co-founder is non-technical, but he's a subject matter expert (he's a physician).

I know several non-technical founders of multi-hundred-million / billion dollar startups. Common thread is that these people are really knowledgeable about a particular industry or subject (ie. sewer inspection, restaurant bulk food ordering, mortgage underwriting). The combo of someone who intimately understands the pain points of an industry partnered with a technical founder is a good one.
This is the Overton window at work:

In the US, it goes far beyond broadcasting. Note how lin manuel miranda's Hamilton has gone from Obama era cultural gold to "cringe-worthy" - https://www.vox.com/22641501/hamilton-parks-rec-harry-potter...

Or how JKR on Harry Potter went from being vilified by conservative voices to the modern "She who will not be named" of Lefty HBO.

"Just what form the future telephone will take is, of course, pure speculation. Here is my prophecy: In its final development, the telephone will be carried about by the individual, perhaps as we carry a watch today."

Let's not forget that at that time in the early 1950s almost everyone who read the daily comic strip would have been very familiar with Dick Tracy's two-way wrist radio, which when drawn in cartoons appeared on his wrist at about the size of a normal watch. Later, this was upgraded to a video version.

It's only a small stretch to add the other niceties that Sullivan mentions.

I reckon the real surprise was how quickly that transformation happened when the smartphone actually arrived. It's unlikely that, say, several years earlier anyone would have actually predicted the enormous speed of the uptake.
Facebook's business model seems to me the most fragile one. They rely a lot on automated moderation and are seriously understaffed in the "human moderator" segment.

It is likely that various countries will push Facebook around and force it to somehow respect local laws regarding freedom of speech or criminalization of hate speech. This needs a lot of human moderators whose aggregated compensation might sink the company, unless it starts charging the users.

But charging the users turns them into customers and makes them way more assertive against their business partners in disputes. Yet another source of extra costs.
Those guys covered literally nothing compared to what I can get recommendations for with “product type Reddit”. No thanks.

> Cut out explanations of stuff you're about to write about. The danger zone for these is introductory paragraphs.

It depends. You have to let the reader know (i) what you're talking about, and (ii) what you're really saying. An example: Suppose you write about how taxes are bad. What do you mean by "taxes"? What else happens other than the tax change? What current event is behind your decision to write about the topic?

The author is right if there's an introductory paragraph with a dictionary definition of taxes and then describing how taxes are collected in the US. If the introductory paragraph provides different tax rates (income, capital gains, etc.) and explains what they cover, who pays them, and so on, it's useful to include. You should err on the side of too much background rather than too little.

It's more than just the silly meme. Quoting from the lunk article:

> In a July 2021 interview with French television program L’Heure des Pros, the twins claimed that they discussed blockchain and crypto asset ideas with a Japanese scientist named Soïtchiro Shimoda, who they think was associated with Bitcoin’s inventors, reports Bitcoin.com.

> “Igor and I, as mathematicians, were able to participate in the elaboration of some of the [Bitcoin] source code, especially the ‘predictive code,’” Grichka told L’Heure des Pros.

And yes, regardless, thoughts and sympathies with the families.
Younger generations appear to be less married to the platform, though.

I think I saw a few of the posts that got flagged. I'm guessing they were flagged not because of their viewpoint or argument, but because of their tone/hostility.

FWIW, I do think that HN has a problem with downvoting minority viewpoints. I'm just not sure that's what happened here.
As usual in a decaying society, Jews are the canary in the coal mine. Traditional racists don’t think we’re white. The Woke think we’re super white. Yet per capita, Jews are the most likely to be victims of hate crimes. Yet I don’t see “Jewish Lives Matter” anywhere.

The whole thing is bullshit and just based on the guilty feelings of rich white progressives and their ordering of the universe.

It’s also increasingly incoherent as people mix. I’m part Hispanic, I’m Jewish, and gay. But I’m a cishet white male as far as anyone cares any more. It’s all fake.
Psychoacoustics. It works if you think it works, like placebo (though that works even if you know it doesn't). Just don't double-blind test it--you'll regret it.
If you haven't seen the Mythbusters episode, you may want to track it down. IIRC they also limited themselves to a reasonable selection of tools on hand, they didn't assume they had their full shop.

There are various unusual things about this particular car that make it at least hover on the edge of plausibility, rather than being a completely absurd idea as it would be for most models. As the article said, they did fail, but it's not too hard to believe they could have figured something out that would have at least been faster than walking if they had a bit more time (and by that I mean a few more hours, not a few more weeks). The Mythbusters did a lot of interesting things but where a normal scientist is driven mercilessly by grants, the Mythbusters were always driven mercilessly by TV production schedules.
And they've been actively harming that idea by then canceling pretty much everything by the third season.
The thing that bothers me is that the subscription services cannot give full attention to the quality of their apps on all devices. Un-pausing HBO Max on my Roku Plus only works 50% of the time.

And don't get me started on Netflix auto-preview (which cannot be disabled on my device).

Unfortunately, that's ultimately the goal of the craze the media is pushing, and it fuels the endless narrative about discrimination. If we want sanity to win, we need to get back to judging people based on their behavior other than affiliation, against the immense media pressure to do otherwise.

Television isn't real life. It's an entire career's worth of shenanigans compressed into one season because nobody is going to watch them drive heavy equipment back and forth all day with nothing interesting happening.

If it were even close to that eventful people would live-stream it. Note the release schedule of all the <insert workplace more dangerous than an office> youtubers and how little of their content is sketchy stuff.
They still mail dvd's. I have a coworker who still uses their mail plan. I kinda considered it silly at first by now I'm thinking this is the way to go. It's relatively cheap compared to renting movies via amazon etc. He gets them fast. Blu-ray quality is better than streaming in some cases.
Disclosure: I work for GM, what follows is solely my own opinion and perception of reality.

On #1 also bear in mind that the supply chain is deep and complicated. OEM (GM, Toyota, Tesla, Ford etc) orders a number of COMPONENT X that contains a chip from a Tier 1 supplier. Tier 1 supplier order subcomponents from other suppliers. (Continue this until you have built a very confusing interdependent supply web).

At any level of this, anyone could have (and did) cancel their orders in 2020. As in OEMs cancelled some orders, Tier 1 suppliers cancelled some orders, Tier X suppliers cancelled some orders, etc.
During sign-up I think I saw a link to a cancellation URL - embedded in the warning that I will be autorenewed in 12 months if I don't cancel first :)

> The Democratic Party talks a big game about universal healthcare at election time

No, it doesn't, at least if you are talking about general elections since the failure of Clinton's reforms in the 1990s. Since then, it's talked about moderate mitigations of the problem of massive gaps in the healthcare system, or, more recently, simply about not continuing dismantling past progress on that issue.
The subscription was for remote engine start, not to unlock your doors.

This is a classic centrist position - the left and the right are both radical, pick a point halfway between and you're good - but I would argue that the US and Canada have been largely ruled by centrism for the past 30 years and things have been getting worse and worse in that time.

ActiveVideo | http://activevideo.com | Hilversum NL

Looking for an allround AOSP/android systems developer who is comfortable going from C++ to Java, from init to stagefright, from vold to art and surfaceflinger to bionic.

Somewhat longer version:

We are building a platform where we run AOSP at scale inside a cloudy system, where graphics (GLES2) and audio/video media is offloaded to a custom thin client running on STBs. At the core of this product there is our own port of AOSP running in an x86_64 container instead of on an ARM SOC. We have tons of cool work to be done on this platform: custom services, optimizing resource usage, tweaking UI's, etc.

We are looking for someone who is strong at graphics and multimedia, is comfortable with both C++ and Java, and most important of all: who has loads of experience hacking their way around all levels of AOSP. We are located in The Netherlands, although with the current COVID situation I guess there is no hurry to move. Being in .eu time zone is a pro.

If you are interested, please drop mail me at hn@zevv.nl and I'll be glad to answer any questions and provide more details.

And the fire in Ajinomoto's factory that makes Ajinomoto Buildup Film, used in high-end chips, briefly cut production of those.

Do these actually exist in their local environment or are people just afraid because of what's going on over the media networks? Forgive me, as I'm outside of where you are and I often see people being afraid of things that aren't often there.

It's not. It costs attention - and that's the primary battleground of the information society. To divert the masses attention from the goals that could help them unite.
I’m sorry you’re ignorant of history. There used to be laws like “Chinese Exclusion Acts” that were straight up racism based on a theory of racial inferiority of Asians. Now they are being punished for being academically superior in the name of equity, hence the reverse.

Though I agree with you the phrase is mostly meaningless, to the extent it has meaning it’s exactly what I’ve described. Which you seem to agree with, so I’m not sure why you’re flaming me.

You can't think of any times they've had a win? They saw the largest growth of any FAANG in the past year. What about cloud and devices (pixel, nest, stadia, Chromecast, etc.)? They made 22 billion just on "other" bets in 2020.

With some of their big bets in custom SoCs, waymo, verily, and all of the research that comes out of it (especially in ML) are certainly interesting, I don't think any other companies are innovating at that level. Whether or not they will profit is another matter, of course.
Why do people pretend this is some kind of deep philosophical conundrum? In this case Twitter, who hires the fact checkers, and the audience, who comments on what the fact checkers do, or is free to leave the service. Your comment and the article you are commenting on and this very discussion is 'checking the fact-checker'.

Same way accountability in any system with many actors works, in reciprocal fashion.
That's a big lie to tell and even harder to prove (unless you actually tried to start a company). Even failed companies leave some kind of electronic or trademark footprint.

> I think Netflix could still do fairly well as one of N big players in the streaming space.

I disagree. I play for Netflix and Amazon Prime video (that was a cross-sell). I'm not playing for another.

If everything is one one service, then I'll pay for it. That was the original promise of Netflix. But now everyone wants to play that game.

Two services, maybe I'll pay. N services? Screw that, might as well go back to torrenting. And then, why keep Netflix?

Paying for TV shows is _voluntary_. Consumers are willing to pay, but only up to a point. Jerk them around too much, and the consent goes away - not only will Netflix get only a slice of the pie, but the whole pie will be smaller.
For Buffy that's only on the R2/R4 DVDs I believe, the R1 DVDs are luckily fully 4:3. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Buffy_the_Vampire_Slay...

Unfortunately the streaming HD "remaster" is fully 16:9 and badly adapted, not only regarding cropping, but also colors and editing (just google for "buffy hd").
This is in jest but note that we already have USB mouse-jugglers which simulate mouse movements to game the presence indicators in shitty enterprise communication software.

That's interesting... that's usually it's own ECU on most cars.
> Assume readers know the basics or will look them up [...] One of the beautiful things about reading on the internet is that google is just a click away.

Especially in the case of technical jargon, it's a good middle ground to link to a relevant definition directly. That avoids the friction of a suboptimal in-line definition and the friction of forcing a multi-click lookup. A beautiful part of the internet is links :).

> Instead of leaving posts as a boring todo chore in the drafts folder, it's perfectly fine to just stop cold and publish if a wrap up doesn't flow naturally. Honestly, nobody cares.

While I agree with publishing incomplete content, I would argue that this is an exception to the "Don't caveat, just say it" section from earlier. It's often helpful to caveat incomplete content because it treats the reader with greater respect.
