So, we shouldn't do business with folks of lower means, is that right? And to avoid doing so we should restrict ourselves to particular heterogeneous countries, with geographic boundaries that aren't particularly effective at that goal. Spending money in places it is needed rather than already concentrated is morally defective because the spender might also benefit from the transaction?

(Believe I read something similar once about folks trying to help the homeless. If the helper benefited one iota as well, the helper was branded a "monster.")

I don't believe this is a healthy or valid take. We should all be helping each other, and a win/win situation is the best outcome imho. Because it incentivizes more.

Agreed! This is definitely on our list and we've got big plans here. Added your +1 to our internal task tracking this feature :)
I meant to say that I disagree completely with the specific part that I quoted above. That those comments are upvoted. And I explain my view right after to show that I have a diametrically opposite view on that affirmation. And I don’t think that part is an opinion, it is the interpretation of a fact, for which we don’t have the data to settle the debate, so it’s up for debate, and my interpretation is different.

Later I do go on to speculate a reason why the author had such perspective. Which is just speculation on my part (that’s why I used “It seems to me”). I might be wrong in my speculation, but I don’t this is “bad faith”.
He has a pilots licence. There is a podcast about this that explains it well but basically it's not hard with that kind of money.
I started starting companies as a result of Silicon Valley age discrimination experiences around when I was 40. It was clearly a situation that could not be effectively overcome or negotiated with. So the obvious answer: "If I'm the boss, I won't age-discriminate against myself nor others: problem solved".

The one advantage I had was working in Sales and Marketing in addition to R&D at Hewlett-Packard so I got the VERY BEST of industry training in all those areas on HP's dime. So those roles include the CEO role were quite easy for me on my own.
The space industry was created by massive state-sponsored investments. There were (and still are) no private entities capable of putting forward the scale of investment that was required to initially develop space technology. Its not possible that states "slowed down" progress in the long-run, because the industry would not exist without state action.
I don’t think installing an app and rooting a device are fair comparisons
The “our experienced ex-Facebook engineers” sounds like a bit weird claim to me, TBH.
I imagine them securing a continuous flow of ex-FB employees to guarantee this in the future.
Oh, you're totally right. I don't know how I misunderstood that sandstorm platform as being their game. Thanks for the correction!
Yes and no, but sure.

The failed justin.tv-spin-off folks don’t care though, they never had any real competition because people who don’t have a locked-in outcome can’t afford to pursue impoverished, transient markets.

I wouldn’t shed too many tears though: no one from that crowd is doing badly. Bad companies failing and burning up the cap table is for the plebs.
I dare say it's a part of the hacker culture for as long as both coexist
I believe it's just the advantages you get from very short trace lengths. Dimm slots are usually inches away, so you end up with long traces from CPU -> dimm slot, pay the overhead of the dimm slot connection, and then traces within a dimm.

LPDDR on the other hand move the individual dimm chips as close as possible to the CPU and don't have any connector. This also makes it much easier to have wider memory. A 13" MBP can have a 512 bit wide memory system with at least 16 channels in a thin/light laptop that is quite power efficient. To get similar with DIMMs you'd have to buy a dual socket server motherboard with 8 channels per socket and would be lucky to fit that in an ATX size motherboard in a 1.75" thick chassis.

I see it as one should not use local storage because some future owner (which might never happen) could have issues with your solution.

That is like insane argument.

Future owner should do due diligence and factor any issues in, NYT has a quick fix that will be there probably forever, but hey life goes on.

I bet even now, long after the NYT’s check has cleared, Josh is filled with a deep sense of regret over his decision to use LocalStorage. It keeps him up, long into the night. What could have been…
That's because it makes no sense. The US consumes around 12 billion bushels of corn per year. Yes, some of that may be wasteful (corn syrup etc). But trying to store 24 billion bushels of corn without loss is simply impossible. Each bushel is roughly 1.25 cubic feet, so 2 years would be 30B cf. Imagine a storage unit 2 miles long, 2 miles wide, and 300 feet tall.
These are the numbers for the self-hosted (ie written in Zig) stage compiler, which is not what the current release contains.

Blogs. They are very hard to find though.
DDR is typically a bus with more than 1 DIMM slot per channel. LPDDR is typically point to point. Electrically, it's a lot easier to meet signal integrity requirements on a point to point trace than it is to make a multi drop bus work properly.
It seems like a massive acquihire to me - similar to Heroku.

This problem will become more acute as all-day wearable AR devices become mainstream and the state of the world is recorded and parsed by a distributed network of them. You’ll be able to check the quasi-real-time and historical states of a particular restaurant, pull up the exact menu that was being served yesterday, as well as reviews. None of this will be indexable by Google. However, Google is particularly well positioned to leverage their technology and resources to be a leading player in the market for such devices.
I read that they went between some powerlines and the flock of them caused a short between the lines that spread and arc'd through them.
Yep. When it comes to specialization farmers are not excluded. All crops, if their production can be mechanized, need specialized tools to farm at scale. In Iowa at least this looks like combines that are tooled for corn and soybean to allow for cycling the fields every few years.

And the majority of young adults in 2016 thought Trump was illegitimate: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/majority-young-american...

I don't, however, take either poll seriously. Also, the word "illegitimate" can be interpreted multiple ways. One meaning is "not genuine". Many Republicans are unhappy with, among other things:

* the shameful lying and misinformation spread by corporate media outlets during election season. These organizations outright lied and just didn't care. The ends justified the means: https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-staffer-networks-trump-off...

* Shameful outsized influence and suppression of stories by big tech. For instance, The Hunter Biden story got completely quashed by Twitter. It turns out the story is mostly true and could have affected the election. There is significant evidence that Joe Biden was involved in corrupt deals as well. In a more just world, Biden would probably be out of office and in jail: https://news.yahoo.com/might-not-hunter-biden-shenanigans-08....

* Corrupt influence by wealthy democrats like Mark Zuckerburg, who spent millions to potentially influence the outcome of the election: https://bbc-edition.com/entertainment/the-2020-election-wasn...

* States like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin breaking their own laws at election time.

They are plenty of ways to justify using the word "illegitimate" without claiming anything overtly illegal was done to successfully change the results of the election.

It’s not an issue of “crazies on both sides” — mainstream conservative views of recent events are detached from reality. There’s a pipeline of misinformation that starts with white nationalists, runs through InfoWars and their ilk, and eventually leads to OANN and Fox News

I don't follow Fox News or Infowars, but I know of numerous examples of lies and misinformation coming from NYT, WaPo, CNN, NBC, NPR, and so on. Maybe both sides peddle in misinformation. Maybe one side peddles in it a lot more than the other. I'm going to need to see more than this UMass poll to convince me that it's the republican side that's the bigger problem.
This exact same thing happened in my front yard, except it was on a much smaller scale. The cause - falcon chasing the flock of birds into the house. It actually chased them several times until it finally forced several to hit the side. The falcon then proceeded to fly away with the dead and injured one at a time.
The music is the reason Sonic 3 isn't included. There was a PC collection that included Sonic 3 but had different music.

It also wasn't just Michael Jackson that contributed to Sonic 3's sound track. It was a number of producers who were associated with Jackson. Particularly so after Jackson left the project. The Ice Cap Zone is a really good example of this because it's virtual a verbatim 16-bit recording of Hard Times by the Jetzons (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9sdsclDwas)
Clear code doesn’t need comments is a bit tricky statement. There are always two aspects of a problem. The math and the physics. Say a+b is clear from math point of view, but it’s completely ambiguous from physics point of view. In other words math is the what/how and phy is the why. I think the why needs good comments and for the what I agree with you that a clean good doesn’t.
The whole premise of the Chromebook and reason for its market share is the simplicity to average users. Most of what we do is web browser-focused. So cut out the fat and have a computer that's all about the web browser.

The proposition of installing Linux on these machines once they're EOL flies in the face of the reasons most users buy them, and won't at all address the core issue.
Congrats Linode. I switched back to Linode after a few years on Digitalocean (I wanted the server to be located in my country and Linode offers that), I was really happy to see how much it has evolved since the last time I had used it circa 2013
It's intentional, if you inspect the `innerText` you'll see it's reversed there too:

zero_click_wrapper.innerText.codePointAt(0)

Evaluates to 32. And if you think 32 = 0x20 could mean the next one would be 0x2E, then no, codePointAt(1) is 0x55.
DDR5 contains two forms of ECC. The first is standard ECC which is used to correct for bit flips in transmission. The second on-die ECC is used to correct bit flips on the die, hence the name. The world has already accepted that standard ECC on high speed interfaces is a good idea, so why would on-die ECC be a bad idea? Yes, they correct different error types, but they both attempt to correct corrupted bits and the do so in a mathematically similar way.

All that said, there are still ECC (has an ECC memory) and no-ECC dimms for DDR5. So if the on-die ECC is concerning for anyone, they can still get a DIMM with a separate ECC memory. But the ECC happening at the interface between the DIMM and the CPU will still exist always and you will have to trust it.
Both are correct actually.

But at least you care - that's what really matters.
Crap, I was just telling someone how much I liked Linode.
I intentionally didn't check the source code. None of it so I don't get bias when writing it :)
I love Linode. Strongly recommended.

For many years, I have run all my websites and services (back-ends for apps, etc.) on a few $5/month Nanodes.

For temporary/experimental stuff I sometimes use Vultr and Digital Ocean, but Linode's service and reliability is superior (especially versus Vultr). Linode is just top-notch.

The people who want to open a dairy farm that's kind to the cows comes to mind. Then they realize that cows need to be milked 2x a day, every day, forever.
Very interesting! Most of it probably went above my head, but it seems that there are several problems beyond "changing a simple word";

* a priest cannot change the formula as he wishes

> to modify the sacramental formula implies a lack of an understanding of the very nature of the ecclesial ministry that is always at the service of God and his people and not the exercise of a power that goes so far as to manipulate what has been entrusted to the Church in an act that pertains to the Tradition

* when saying "We" instead of "I" he is probably meaning something different as well and acting out a different role

> When the minister says “I baptize you…” he does not speak as a functionary who carries out a role entrusted to him, but he enacts ministerially the sign-presence of Christ, who acts in his Body to give his grace and to make the concrete liturgical assembly a manifestation of “the real nature of the true Church”

I also enjoyed this quote from the footnotes:

> in personal prayer the believer can follow the impulse of the heart, in liturgical action “he must open himself to a different kind of impulse which comes from a more powerful source: namely, the heart of the Church which beats through the ages. Here it does not matter what personal tastes are, what wants he may have, or what particular cares occupy his mind...”

Their exact methodology is not spelled out, but it sounds like this is a particularly nasty arena for the prosecutor's fallacy to once again rear its head. Police should never be searching through DNA databases “looking for a match”. Most of the matches you find this way will be innocent people.
Hillary Clinton thought Donald Trump's election was "illegitimate", does that mean she's a "crazy"? What is a "legitimate" election anyway? Does it require a certain level of participation, imply a certain bound on fraudulent voting, limits on intimidation, or perhaps propaganda, or maybe it just means that the winner of the popular vote carried the day?

If you ask a vague question, the answer isn't meaningful.

LPDDR uses a wider bus so, at a similar clock rate, it is faster.
Definitely not an acquihire. Linode build a super solid business without taking any venture.
I wonder if civil lawsuits would be effective here. If you can squeeze $10K out of a third of the trolls that should cover the legal costs.
That's what I read as well. If I don't use code the code or assets of the original game I should be on the safe side.

"This is the quiet miracle of repetition: its ability to not only make actions easier over time, but also change one’s desires, bringing the cravings of the flesh in line with the aspirations of the spirit (or as James puts it, making “our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy”). It is a miracle well known to the religious convert who comes to look forward to the once-dreaded rite of confession, or the new parent who becomes acclimated to a lack of sleep, or the Twitter addict who realizes a few months after deleting the app that he can no longer recall the enthralling drama of the feed."

Extraordinary essay on habits and routines. Hat tip to The Browser (https://thebrowser.com/) for alerting me to it.
I should write a story about how I avoided using local storage for a few years assuming all sorts of things and wished I hadn’t…

Awesome. IMO it should be fine as long as you deliver what you're expected to deliver. Thus if given the possibility I'd gladly go for it.

I read stories a few years ago about missed overemployment opportunities: a guy who automated his job and got fired[1]; another one who literally outsourced his work to China but got busted and fired after the network team saw suspicious incoming connections on the corporate network[2].

Glad to see this getting popular though, with remote working making easier than ever. I'll think about it when I have meetings and "slow" days.

Whatever people mean by free will, this feeling like we're driving our bodies and minds around usually, there's no mechanism by which it could exist.

Either the things in our brains follow deterministic patterns or they're random. Neither one of those gives me room to decide to get a glass of orange juice. In fact, any desire I have at all for an orange is dependent on that type of plant having emerged billions of years ago. I can imagine a fruit that doesn't exist, but I can't desire it and I can't buy it at the store. I had no say in any part of that causal chain whatsoever.
That using water within a watershed is fine. Piping out water is different.
On technology specifically I tend to view these types of threads more through the lens of tribalism than shilling. Like, I don't have reason to believe Lenovo or HP is paying people to whine about Apple online, I'm willing to believe people will do that all on their own.
From the link:

Ornithologist and biology professor at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania, Ronald L. Mumme told Newsweek he thought a large bird was behind it.

"Based on the birds' behavior, my suspicion is that a falcon or other bird-eating raptor attacked the flock in flight, and during evasive maneuvers the flock members dove, became disoriented, and many crashed to the ground and injured themselves," he said. "I don't think any birds were having problems until they collided with the ground or buildings. It looks like most of the birds were able to fly away, but a significant number could not."

Two more experts told The Guardian they agreed with Mumme, blaming the event on "flock murmurating to avoid a predator raptor."
I specifically refer to self-hosting here, which does satisfy both of those conditions. (There is arguably still a lot of stress to making self-hosting a better experience for non-technical users, and unfortunately large tech companies are very motivated to maintain a paradigm opposed to self-hosting.)

But I also do not feel LocalStorage is really a good way to ensure you have control of your data: It's very unlikely you (or most anyone else) are auditing the code of a site to ensure it maintains your data locally, much less ensure that doesn't change over time.
I think the problem is that when you need to search for an email, you really need to know if you got anything or not. And for most of us, we can't wade through the 100s of emails we get a day. So this would really cut me off from my old email, which I think is a showstopper. Otherwise, it looks nice and interesting.
I wouldn't even be mad, if I were his employer (unless his slowness materially affects my business). I respect a good hustle.
+1...but my reaction to folks who worry much about free will in a deterministic universe, "butterfly effect quasi-free will", etc. is that they really should have gotten outside to play more when they were kids.
The ultimate test of any search engine is always the results. While the project I'm working on is definitely still an alpha, I'd love to chat with you when you try it out. I don't want to take the conversation here off-topic. To your general points though, there are definitely opportunities to provide better results within specialist areas of knowledge, and for local markets.

I think most of the search startups are doing their own mobile app. On iOS, the system search and browser remains Google/Safari (and the App is essentially just a wrapper on Safari for browsing). But at least it is something. I think you'll see more people doing desktop apps, although the dominance of Google through Chromium forks for this isn't a coincidence. It feels like the bad old days of re-packaging Internet Explorer with a custom homepage all over again.
I don't think you understand how the Blockchain works or what the proper concept of a finalized payment is.

The government cannot undo a Bitcoin transaction. If the keys are accessible, they can seize the coin and create a new transaction to redistribute according to the law.

If the keys are not accessible, then they are totally powerless to do anything at all.

The government submits to the blockchain's rules the same way everyone else does. That's kind of the point.
Well it's 50000% less shit than Citrix for a start.
> the payment mechanism being reversible, it's something else (the storage) that gives

I'm not sure we agree on this being fundamental. At least you can define it as a categorical difference (sure) but not really a practical difference.

I think the articles points were twofold:
1) Property rights, or more generally the legal & regulatory systems, trump any rules imposed or agreed in your system of payments
2) Most payments systems feature reversal processes for necessary reasons (but if they don't, see (1) as fallback position)

Both of these seem important to understand if you want to understand how a payment system works or could work in the future, and also to understand your exposure/risk in using them.

People mostly understand the trade offs and limitations of cash; mostly probably don't understand them well for lots of payment systems.
So another conspiracy theory. OWS went on for months, was a top story for months. They had a megaphone for months and the media ate it up.

They flopped because they had no plan. Even today, you can’t come up with any concrete thing/legislation they wanted.

The masters of Wall Street didn’t have to lift a finger.

Proposal to add garbage collection to WebAssembly
I used “regular” because the author used the word “regular” to imply that any regular would agree with him. I wanted to state that I am a regular and I disagree.

I used the word “imply” above, because in the text the author only explicitly says that a regular would see that there are toxic comments some times. But my impression, from the that and other remarks on the text, is that they are implying that a regular would agree that HN is toxic. Like they are trying to expose a consensus. So I wanted to push back and state that there is no such consensus.

And the “disagree completely” is explained in another comment.
