There's a lot of interesting stuff on HN every day. Bookmarking this thread with some tags in Pinboard brings me to ~46k.

I like Pinboard for the ability to organize bookmarks in tabs, with tags, groups of tags, quickly stash a tab set, etc.
Using the 30% requirement for below-market-rate rents, that's $1850/month for an apartment, which could go pay for nearly $400,000 of construction costs. Which could be a fairly large apartment, actually!

Time to start working through some pro-formas, this might have a lot of potential.

Prop 13 typically makes it really really hard for new landlords to compete, since long-time landlords pay nearly zero in taxes, but this might actually pencil.
Actually surprised there weren't more comments here.

Would have seemed an interesting page to estimate demographics for the site on based on responses.
New York is not a subset of Texas. Distinguishing between the two of like distinguishing between Wales and Scotland, something I think most people can do. Distinguishing between New York City and New York state on the other hand is much closer to distinguishing between Britain, UK, England
A couple more I thought of

- “We Are In A Book” (Gerald & Piggie book) - characters refer to themselves being in that book

- Godel, Escher, Bach (Douglas Hofstadter) - pretty much entirely about self-referential structures
The EU needs an anti corruption directorate just like the countries they accuse of corruption and delay entry to Schengen. The EPPO and OLAF only deal with fraud with EU funds. Maybe the scope of these institutions should be extended.
I started developing chest pain two days after my Pfizer shot and actually still experience some chest pain at times now, many months later. For me the pain started after exercising as well.

The cardiologist I went to see about the issue said he's seeing people like me daily.

Nothing that can’t be easily explained, of course, anyone coming with a reasonable explanation is being downvoted by the “critical thinkers” of HN who can only instead provide low effort quips.
> Human civilizations' current abundance of resources allows us the luxury to develop moral "philosophies"

You've got it backwards; Human's current abundance is the creation of human cooperation, which doesn't really work without some sort of ethical framework. Philosophy enables us to achieve more, it is not the result of our achievement.
I'm not saying you should at any other diff than that of the lockfile itself. From there figure out potential impact, run more complete tests, and other mitigations are available. In most famous instances (leftpad and this newsline), the problem would have been immediately obvious. Just because it's still possible to fall victim to sabotage doesn't mean you shouldn't be doing this.
I had a job offer from a U.S based company in Oct, after something like 5 or 6 interviews, numerous calls to discuss the start date and so on and how I was to be paid. I thought everything was fine, start date was a few weeks out, and so I booked a trip home to see my family, counting on money to come in and help me afford it. As soon as I land, I get an email that vaguely indicates "we might need to reconsider the start date". I get them on a call the next day, and it's all off, they won't have me, and I'm broke. Never trust a company, especially one that's not totally forthcoming.
I feel like, Meta is just a project to gobble more money. I mean in the virtual world offer people a house for $50, cars for $10 and of-course put up billboards for Ads. I don’t know why people are getting so fussed about? Like we don’t have the Sims franchise already, Minecraft? We have adults actually spending money on games. Is this any different than a game? Just because its FB do people really think corporates would give up their influence in real world and move to meta and start buying BS there? What am I missing?
It no longer does this because now your comment is the only result for the query. Before, it could not find a single result, said as much, and gave you the wikipedia page that included the age. What's wrong with that, again?
First, no one is forcing anyone to take this money. You should only take the deal if you think it makes your company more valuable.

Anecdotally, I was offered $125k with similar terms from someone after they saw a prototype of a product I'm building. This person isn't a professional investor, doesn't have a network that adds value in this case, and doesn't have any name recognition. It was easy to turn down the money, although I did thank them and offer to reach out to them in a future fundraising round.

YC has an extensive investor database and a ton of name recognition. Every founder I've spoken to or heard from that went into YC says it was 100% the right trade to make.

Some founders have said that the moment they could say YC invested in them, they're hiring problems were dramatically reduced. Others have said they would have given up 7% just for the access to the advice and data they received as part of being in YC, plus the name recognition.

If you've built companies before I'd love to hear your take on fundraising and what you would consider fair.
Sony said "come Wachowski's, we are going to make a new Matrix, with or without you." And then the dump truck showed up and she did what she could to, in her mind, make a product she was happy with that she knew she had to make for herself.

There's a lot of meta- to the film about the process, state of Hollywood, big cinema, giving in to retelling the same story for nostalgia bros, from what I understand. (I am not a critic or terribly deep, just observing)

I mean this clip speaks volumes. That unmistakable look of "Why'd you have to ask me that" as she is presumably self censoring thinking about what she /should/ be saying.

The malware appears to use a web based command and control server, so there could be a vulnerability in it, a easily brute forced password or even open access. For example, Zeus, the first major banking trojan, would store logs for each infected victim in a folder on its web server. If the owner was careless, these would be exposed in an open directory. If this was the case, the very first folder would almost always be a test infection of the owner, and the very first password capture in it would be the owner logging into the control panel to see if it was working. Good fun back in the day.

Kevin (the author) and I worked together around 10 years ago at Atlassian. It’s always great to see his blog posts here!

This one rings home because I moved from SF to Davis during the pandemic. I attended UC Davis around 15 years ago and moved back because it’s a great place to race a family.

I would like to see more infill development here. It’s a shame that so many smart and successful people that work here can’t afford to buy homes here.

I’ve toyed around with the idea of building multi-family housing here. Generally, there are easier places to make money in real estate but I would feel pretty good about making something like this happen.

Crazier things have happened, but if there are other HN readers that would like to chat more about this idea I’ll put my email address in my profile if it’s not there already. I’ve become friends with the realtor that helped me buy a house here (Tanner Mohr) - we’ve previously talked about getting a small group of people together for projects like this. So far we looked at one empty lot, but the seller already had plans for something like I had in mind.

Personally I don’t think I could stomach the risk of trying to build something huge here. That sort of speaks to the point Kevin is making about nimbyism. I certainly wouldn’t want my money tied up in a legal fight. But I could imagine more 4-5 story condos close to campus and downtown doing well here.

> doctors not telling family members that their loved ones had passed away so as to be able to keep charging the family for continued hospital care.

While I've heard anecdotally that this happens, I find it hard to believe that this happened during the second wave when hospitals were, in general, being overrun with patients and running out of beds and oxygen cylinders. Why would you want to risk getting caught doing this when you anyway have a long queue of prospective patients waiting for a bed?
That's literally gatekeeping. It took me so long to get enough karma on HN to be able to leave a comment. This would just shift the system to be gamed by bots / upvote4upvote, and keep existing hegemony in the community on who gets the power and say in porjects. Do not want.
Your filtration test appears to be only testing the mask fabric, but not the fit.

I see a number of surgical masks over 95%. I don't think that would be possible in practice, because of leaks at the sides and top. I'd expect more like 50%. But, you don't appear to have the equipment to do a fit test.

Refer to the 3M video on how to fit test an N95.

I realize that N95 and surgical masks have different standards, but you are making them look comparable, when they are not.
Very well-worded and understandable. Thanks for this.
Or just go with 24fps, which plays fine on 30fps displays, uses less bandwidth (or the same bandwidth and has higher picture quality), and looks "better" due to 24fps being the frame rate of movies (and 30fps being the frame rate of straight-to-video daytime tv).

30 or 60 makes sense for fast motion, but most things people are shooting are talking heads and stuff like that, which don't really benefit from higher frame rates. 24 is good.
I think unless you've been very fortunate about work experiences, there is a huge portion of the population that has very good reason to be sus about a company they've just been hired at. I can see how it might sound whiny or entitled, but I think you should never trust a company.
Facebook doesn't allow nudity anyway. The system could just serve to prioritize complaints and they wouldn't need to verify the identity of the person in the photo.
I guess that’s the idea behind trying to add infill housing, is to prevent ugly sprawl.

Davis has one of the highest bicycle mode shares of any city in the state. It’s an ideal place to add denser housing without the additional traffic or parking lots that blight a lot of bigger (and less dense) cities.

Who in this program is surveilling or imprisoning themselves?

Having a camera on your house, pointed into the street, is the opposite of self-surveillance. It's a way to surveil people in a public thoroughfare. Some of those people happen to be thieves who steal things from homes and cars, and if they get caught by video surveillance, that's great.

What exactly do the neighborhood residents lose by participating in this surveillance? It's only an upside for them -- they might be able to catch the thieves, with no loss of privacy for themselves.

Oh sure...no argument there. But it's a scale issue. In this space, I have, say, 500M 'questionable' IP addresses who potentially send/receive mail (known bad, residential networks, uncategorized, etc.). So let's be wildly generous and say 0.1% of them want to host an SMTP server. Does the ISP commit resources to this tiny community, or do they commit those resources to keep Google/M$/Yahoo/etc happy, who constitute 9-something% of the business.

on edit: grammatical correction
Your reply is disingenuous.

You state that you do not have "first hand" experience and yet are pushing questionable narratives from your Parents/Aunts/Uncles (who frankly seem to belong to the irrational "don't get the vaccine" crowd) as fact. Having lived through it all in India, i can categorically state that your narratives are very much false.

You seem to have no idea of the statistical nature of Covid tests; they are not binary. A Doctor has to make a judgement call on the result of the test (eg. RT-PCR) vs. the results of other tests (eg. Chest Scan) which is not easy. Given our limited resources in everything (i.e. Education/Hospitals/Doctors/Nurses as a percentage of the Total Population) it can become rather difficult to convince people of the costs (tests, time and money) involved. While of course there are many problems/inefficiencies with the system and we did drop the ball in preparing for the 2nd wave (as did the rest of the World) overall i would say we have done a stellar job of managing the crisis with the limited resources we have at our disposal.
But slow/fast isn't quality. What were the rigorous measurements? Latency of results to click? User clicked above the fold?

I have wondered about this now for several years, because from my point of view Google search has steadily degraded since around 2010. The specific degradation isn't that it returns nothing, or irrelevant pages, but that it returns mostly _recent_ content, and returns very little _older_ content which is still assuredly on the web.

I can see how Google's approach will work for the average search query - after all, the average query is probably about something happening now - but that doesn't equate to _quality_.
Considering Google basically owns online video, they should be ashamed they haven't been able to give incredible Google Search results inside videos.

If you let privacy rights be preserved by democracy, they will not be preserved, as the vast majority of people have:

a) not much to lose from secret information being divulged

b) not much secret information in the first place

It is really only a tiny minority that actually practically need privacy rights: prominent people, public figures, the wealthy, highly attractive people, alternative lifestyles, political or labor organizers, those speaking truth to power, et c.

We are a very small segment of the population by real numbers. Most people dgaf about privacy because they don't have to, so they never will.
Most of the point of wearing a mask is to prevent you from unknowingly spreading COVID to other people. Many stores I visit have signs prohibiting vented masks.
This example is not at all representative of how things actually are. Most of all not for non disenfranchised companies and people. There’s no NATO nation remotely holding a gun to any big companies head. In any sense of the word.

I have to think again just wow. Your example is such an extreme stretch with almost no relation to reality.
yeah? well its a pretty standard organisational problem too
Rancher doesn’t generate Terraform code. It further doesn’t have a platform of multiple clusters as it’s core concept. And as a result it can’t provide the same preview, validate and promote GitOps workflow.

I've heard that the main job of a nuclear submarine is to tail another nuclear submarine at a polite distance, so every submarine that could make a first strike is observed by a submarine that could make a retaliatory strike. Then again, wouldn't the defensive side be out of range of the attacking country for a second strike? So maybe it's to be able to launch anti-missile missiles...

Well, the total cost was reported as $190 million, so after the 1000 people get 100k, there is still 90mil to account for...

I'm probably not up with the times, but I don't really see many actors in that film that would be classed as A-list (although the definition of that is somewhat loose).

I really like Keanu, and he seems like a great guy, but I don't think he getting paid $20 million a film, although his popularity seems on the rise again (but perhaps that is just on Reddit). He was reportedly paid 2.5mil for some of the John Wick films, and you'd have to imagine he is the top paid in this latest matrix film.

Regardless, I have already said I don't know much about the industry, and I haven't even seen the film, so it is all just speculation on my end. However, I'm willing to bet that a significant percentage of the reported spend went to subsidiaries charging healthy margins, which is common in the industry to help cut into the % of profits the studio would have to share with people as part of their contracts.
I'm not exactly sure what argument you are making. Yes, ESPs often drop most self-hosted email because that's easy and economical (if, perhaps, dickish). No, if you're an international ESP (like mine) there is no real 'domestic IP' you can block against.

>I don't think it's that hard.

It may be less difficult for you. I don't think it would be out of line to say you have been an exemplar of the civility the HN rules promote.

"Do as thou wilt" itself is an absolutist codification. Somebody, somewhere, has made an invalid choice at some time in their life. I'd like to be optimistic and say also that at some point, just about every single person out there has said or done something very valid and good, and when they do it acts as a pointer towards what is good and edifies. From my own experience, the sinking feeling of realizing some of my own choices were invalid lead me to some self improvements that I'm really grateful for... So I'm convicted that avoiding the "bad feel" of invalidation would have been an unwise compass.

Still, it's a real hazard to come on too strong. Maybe I'll be able to take what you've said on board to develop a more effective way to communicate perspectives, or maybe it's an inevitable diatribe circus - time will have to tell.
