I think it is great you have managed to ship this but as another poster pointed out there were quite significant delays and frustrations with your backers. Some years backI looked it up again and saw forum discussion with further frustration.

If you have not already done so: you should transparently write up the lessons that you have learned and how you are going to address this for your electric launch to build up confidence. I remember your kickstarter and in retrospect continue to agree with my decision to not participate (I'm the happy owner of a Brompton that I can check in airline luggage instead).
>Okay, why hasn't a carbon tax, the most basic example of an applied cost externality been applied yet?

Greed. Politicians are afraid to try it. But you knew that already and you're grasping at straws. Pretending that the majority of economists are against externality taxes like the carbon tax is a lie, and you've already been corrected for it. Not much more to say, but keep trying.
This depends on where you live of course, here in the Netherlands most big/well trafficked train stations have one or more secured bike parking.

The NS (Dutch National Railway) sells a secured bike storage subscription starting from 75 euros a year. And you can do it cheaper if you use your bike frequently because at some stations the first 24 hours are free.

And if you have a cheap bike that you use just for your commute you can also just put it in the free bike storage and only move it secured if you know you will be gone for >2 weeks or whatever the limit for free storage is.
I did a load of work in small companies in and around London as a way of funding travel after finishing school. I was blown away by the number of jobs the arms industry provides. My favourite one was making model aircraft, sometimes at 1:1 scale.
Russia is not a third world country. Rather, it is a second world country.
The size of that intersection. And the need to at some point interface to the rest of the world, including the EDA world.

Unless you build your own products from system to physical chips in house (have your own fab) sooner or later you will need to interact, exchange source code or netlists in some form. Fabs expect you to use certain (golden) tools before accepting a design for manufacturing.
But it wasn't just "open competition." Many actions of the centralized de-facto internet monopolies of today (Facebook, Google, etc) were—and continue to be—horribly anticompetitive.

Furthermore, just like in the offline world, "open competition" doesn't consider externalities, like the loss of privacy, and the massive social and political influence that these behemoths have gained.
Most people experience some degree of apnea. They don't diagnose you unless you have more than 5 events per hour.

Not everyone who snores has sleep apnea, but it is a HUGE symptom. Basically if you snore and have even ONE of the other symptoms, you should see a doctor. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/snoring/sympt...

However, apnea is very very common and very hereditary. If all the men in your family snore and wake up multiple times per night to pee and are tired all the time, as they are in my family, it's easy to think of those things as just a part of aging.
It's straightforward to implement memory in a pure function. For example if you say a digital circuit is a function from infinite list of inputs to an infinite list of outputs. You can create a "register" by simply adding a value to the start of the list. For example in Haskell:

delayCircuit xs = 0:xs

take 10 (delayCircuit [1..])

-- [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

Whether a function is pure doesn't mean it can't have internal state. As another example it's perfectly fine to have a completely pure function that has internal state:

withInternalState a = let go = get >>= \s -> put (s + 1)

in fst (runState go a)

What is important for purity is that this internal state doesn't leak outside the function. Which it doesn't for circuits. Outside of things like cosmic rays, heating etc a circuit is completely pure in reality.

I had construction workers drilling through the dinning room ceiling by mistake, or removing the the ceiling of the downstairs appartment with a hammer just below me. An all that pain only to see your rentals not being renewed because of the ongoing gentrification process.
It can, and that's big news. At the very worst you could get away with simpler CPUs and redundancy instead of massively costly and limited supply rad hardened chips.
I don't see the novelty. This was already happening in the 90s, and it fell out of favour only because interacting with the victim is risky: like in the movies, the second call you make to the family, after kidnapping somebody, will have the authorities listening in. Shopping data around the underground is much less likely to attract attention. The fact these guys prefer to go back to basics imho is a sign of inexperience or extreme certainty they won't suffer consequences (i.e. because they're unreachable by US authorities).
Yeah, that's why it's hard to make a comment about it.

Granted we are a small company (13 people) but I actually see happy (and as a result, invested) employees as a productivity gain, especially with information work. In fact, I've had the opposite issue where I have to remind people to make sure they take lunch breaks, etc.

We are already discussing things like having sprint kickoffs as picnics, meeting at coffee shops, etc. So we do have those face-to-face interactions where it counts, but they can also be in an environment that is unconventional. Let's see how it turns out. It may be a pain, who knows? The point is that I have an opportunity to build the ideal company I'd like to work for, so I'm trying that.

But again, I understand this might be a smaller company thing (where people in smaller companies tend to be more invested than ones in larger companies regardless). In a larger company that might not be as easily done.
I'm trying to use "sub-zero" dimming with a 2021 mbp but can't figure out how to use it.

Personally, though I’ve not read the papers, I doubt that the description of a quantum eigenstate of QED with charge Q can just be copied over mutatis mutandis to describe a quantum eigenstate of quantum gravity with energy E, the theories are just too different.

not sure if they have any courses specific to munitions, but RIT is one of the few schools that has a dedicated Packaging Science degree. My nephew started this year. He was turned onto it during a campus tour. He, and the rest of us, had never heard of such a degree before. I think a lot of other schools would have a class or two in an ME program.

I do not consider the search for dark matter a waste of time. But when you are working with a team of WIMP-detector-building specialists, it is (unsurprisingly) hard to have a conversation about whether we should continue building WIMP detectors. People’s egos and emotions are all wrapped up in the science, and that is the part I came away disenchanted about. Definitely don’t misinterpret my feelings to be about science in general, or about getting a negative result (the Michelson-Morley experiment comes to mind.)
This will probably be lost to time due to an unmemorable name vs Qubes.

I was too excited and posted the same thing after you. My nephew started the program this year and is liking it so far.
I think you mean block based designs where you define blocks as inputs and outputs with the logic inside, and then you can piece together and group blocks with wires possibly in some sort of visual editor or similar format? This is already how Verilog and VHDL work, they are oriented around functional blocks that you wire together to build up more complex units. Often HDL environments ship libraries of pre-made blocks for various functions, many of which are very powerful and might be tuned by the vendor to exploit specific hardware features of your target (the more powerful ones are typically expensive and black box proprietary stuff that you just get input and outputs). They also often provide an actual graphical editor for wiring blocks together, or you can specify connections in a text format.

I'm not really professionally experienced with it, but I understand that a lot of the common work in practice is wiring together these pre-made block libraries from vendors more than writing them from scratch.
They don't celebrate killing, they celebrate one less tank that can go on to kill their families, to stop their country being overrun - and, in the heat of the moment, I guess they celebrate having survived the encounter.
We can extend that - "after we've promised our customers that a computer would never be left unlocked and logged in to sensitive things in a public place, but would instead be behind multiple locked doors."

That article is just fud. OpenJDK any version is free to use for whatever reason, period.

If you use OracleJDK (which is pretty identical so unless you need support, go with OpenJDK), then you previously had to pay, but Oracle recently made the last version of it free to use. I mean, it really can’t get easier and freer. It is the same model as with Red Hat linux and fedora, hell, it is even more permissive as you can use the latest Red Hat version free of charge until the next one comes around (+1 year)
This thing is very experimental, I don't think they had a good idea of the potential lifespan/what could go wrong and drastically reduce it.

Probably still a "It Depends" answer? What do you want that CPU to do? Curiosity and Perseverance could last a long time and would a faster CPU enable significantly better science instruments? A rover might be able to travel farther autonomously, which is cool but it's a science mission, not a race course.

Why is this one lasting so long? Presumably we know the radiation conditions on the surface so testing more units in a lab is a better guide than one plucky helicopter.

It's interesting that the "audio" approached worked. There are people who believe that listening to sounds at various "brainwave frequencies" (alpha, beta, etc.) can cause your brain to enter the states associated with them. While intriguing, I thought it was probably nonsense. Well, maybe not....
>Practice with your mates?

No, it is not how publicly traded companies are supposed to work.

Publicly traded companies can set whatever priorities they want; the law only requires certain levels of accurate reporting. If shareholders think a company is too focused on customers, or not enough on shareholders, their options are simply to complain or sell the stock, or both.
That's either extremely naive, or just a diversion while they go about something else.

> Flatpak, however, has a pretty simple system for a fully sandboxed app to open a file or a directory: it just opens a file or directory picker, you pick a file or directory, and the app gets access to that file or directory without getting access to anything outside what you picked.

Unfortunately that still breaks any kind of multi-file format, where opening one file might implicitly require accessing additional other files, and in some cases those additional files might even be distributed all over the directory hierarchy.
The front of the yield curve is driven much more by Fed policy than the tail end of the curve. QE was utilized to try and influence longer tenors. Ultimately the term structure is driven by supply and demand, so the composition and size of the Fed's balance sheet has a direct impact on the shape of the curve.

Show HN: We made an open-source personalization engine
Hey, HN! You probably know that the ordering of products on Amazon, posts in FB, and search results in Google is personalized for each visitor, as it directly affects conversion, click rate and engagement. But not everyone can afford to hire an army of PhDs to squeeze every penny out of the ranking, and not everyone agrees on the current (im)balance between privacy and profits.

So we built Metarank, an open-source and privacy-focused personalization engine. It can rerank in real-time any type of content, using only the data you allow, and optimize metrics you define.

We made a lot of proprietary DIY services for personalization in e-commerce in our past careers and heard so many complaints from other companies also struggling to implement personalization. It’s often considered "too risky" to spend 6+ months on an in-house moonshot project to reinvent the wheel without an experienced team and no existing open-source tools. Like other people in the industry, we were tired of building everything from the bottom up each time we approached personalization - it should be easy not only for Amazon to do such magical ML tricks, but for everyone else.

A small demo of the tool with personalized recommendations: https://demo.metarank.ai

Perhaps for consumer use.

However, we're talking about business use of these devices, but it is clear that these devices are not made for this context where in most cases you don't want the devices tied to a specific person (but rather a specific role).

Using Apple and Google devices for work just sucks.

> The Fed has issued $2 worth of treasuries in the past

The Fed doesn't issue treasuries. That's the job of the US Treasury, which is responsible for making decisions about how to issue debt. When Fed purchases treasuries, it increases the quantity of bank reserves (which are less fungible) and also increases flows of capital to money markets.

I found HN from the TechLead on youtube... while he was sane.
Even when living above-ground, pay attention to how much natural light you will receive. I spent years living in apartments with windows facing North, and it was depressingly cold and dark even in sunny California. When I finally moved somewhere with windows facing South, the difference was astounding. Even better if you can get a corner unit with windows on the south and east sides. Of course it will take longer to find housing with ample natural light, and you can expect to pay a premium for it, but I think it is worth it.

That being said, I prefer to have my office on the North side of a building, as there is less glare to deal with on my monitor, and the temperature is more consistent.

No, that is not what is meant by GPU virtualization. GPU virtualization is the GPU equivalent of Intel's VT and AMD's AMD-V, it's virtualization supported by the hardware which allows the GPU to be used by multiple VMs as though they were exclusive.

For some reason the GPU manufacturers have seen fit to limit this to expensive professional grade GPUs, but hopefully we'll see it in consumer hardware soon. Well, except I think Intel already has it in consumer chips, it's just that their GPUs are kinda shit so no one really cares.
Literally paragraph 2:

- Now a new report by a team of World War Two experts and historians has said its research does not stand up to scrutiny.

And then:

- The new report into the book contradicted its findings, calling its work "amateurish".
- "There is not any serious evidence for this grave accusation," the experts found.

So, maybe the question is, what motivates people to cherry pick one sentence out of that article and then lie about nature of complains?

Might dispersed matter have a higher mass than more condensed matter as an alternative hypothesis? Where the more distant and small a unit of matter is, the more curved the spacetime around it. Lonely particles longing to coalesce? These particles would reflect and scatter too little to be visible and hence be "dark matter". If this was the case, stronger attraction at either extreme of distance might be an effecient accelerator of formation of celestial bodies. This kind of wonky gravitation could also explain the accelerating expansion of the universe.

It's creative destruction. When you decentralize, you are destroying institutions and tradition that are slowing us down. That doesn't mean you don't want new ones to rise up in their place. It's not that centralization is bad, it's just that _sometimes you centralize the wrong thing_ and this is how you fix it.

Pretty awesome to watch how languages get faster and faster over time through engine updates.

JS/V8 is particularly impressive. I wonder how far we are from the theoretical performance limit on the software side?

I would guess we will eventually see deprecations of warts to improve engine performance further. Or integrated type system etc.
I would say that's true for networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 Ingress, but not for networking.k8s.io/v1 which is much better.

There's still some issues around "concerns" maybe eg:

Should the Ingress also handle redirecting? ALB Ingress has its own annotations DSL to support this, and the nginx has a completely different annotations DSL to support this. I don't think Envoy does, though.

But then there's the question of supporting CDNs; some controllers support it with annotations and some through `pathType: ImplementationSpecific` and a `backend.resource` CRD (which doesn't have to be a CRD; they could become native networking.k8s.io/v1 extensions in the future that the controllers can opt in to support). This becomes great when combined with the operator framework (+ embedded kubebilder).

So, I think there's a lot of potential for things to get better.

A great success example in the ecosystem is cert-manager, that a lot of controllers rely on as a peer dependency in the cluster.
