Thanks. I figured that, but perhaps a message saying that no results were found would be more useful than showing random blog posts.
Or maybe show that message, along with "... here are some interesting posts from the past month..."
You mean you got accepted into YC, then a few investors heard about you, and decided to fund you before you start the batch or take the YC deal? I did not think of it like that. Any insights as to why you would accept money just before entering YC, given there is a high probability you would get more money at higher floor through YC.

Also, while I like what Andi is doing (some marketing terms aside), it's not a market risk (if you call yourself a search engine[1]). The market definitely exists, and is a Trillion $ one, with Google already dominating it. It depends on your execution ability as to how you capture it according to your strategy (which currently looks smart), but if you can't, the reason would be you could not outcompete Google, and not "the market is too small or does not exist". A typical market risk problem would be Airbnb for example.

Edit: All the best for the demo day

[1]: You can also be called a smart assistant. This way it has market risk, but carries negative connotation as the existing ones aren't as good. You know your strategy best, and I think it's a 10x better experience if I get the answer without having to open the link.
Very nice !
Would be happy to see more complex queries in the future, did you plan any update ?
Sure, but if you have something as clear as some of the actual deterministic python code from the article, this doesn’t fly.

Close-ish to correct makes sense for some problems and makes no sense at all for others.

From an outsider perspective, the US tax system is nuts.

Here in the UK, the tax year runs from April to April. Your employer reports exactly your taxable earnings to the government every month. You can log in online and see exactly what you're taxed on. You do not need to fill out a self-assessment at all - it's all done automatically, except for under certain circumstances which don't affect most of the population, but roughly:

* You have earnings over £1000 a year from outside of your normal employment (e.g. from interest on savings, selling things on eBay, whatever).
* You are earning above £50,000 per year but want to continue claiming child benefit (which phases out between £50,000 and £60,000, so some needs to be repaid).
* You earn over £100,000.
> > you'll see a lot of small, private landlords get out, only to leave large corporate landlords who will have much stricter rental policies.

> If this were to happen, it would be a good thing.

Doubtful. For one thing, renting from individuals is far more pleasant than renting from giant housing conglomerates. With an individual landlord everything is negotiable and flexible, it's a person you can talk to. When renting from a corporation, there are strict rules enforced by teams of lawyers and zero flexibility.

> Consolidation erodes the electoral base of rent seekers

You got that exactly backwards. Yes, there are more individuals renting out their single properties each, but those are ordinary people who have no lawyers and no lobbyists and they don't have any coordinated voice and no influence with politicians.

The more rental properties are consolidated to giant corporations, the more outsized their influence in congress becomes as they can afford an army of lobbyists to bend the laws ever more in their favor.
Ubiquiti have almost no goodwill left. They have abandoned a few lines of ( well-liked) products, have introduced replacements which are inferior, buggy and try to entice you to pay for their cloud "solution" ( which as we've seen, is a dumpster fire). Then there were product upgrade ads in the UI. Then there's the generic lack of QA. And the fact they have multiple competing lines of products most of which are abandoned and the rumours are that it's basically shipping the org chart where the abandoned parts are due to teams leaving.

On the homelab subreddit, they're no longer the go-to recommendation they were a few years ago.
Absolutely, please shoot me an email (in my bio)!

Vim is amazing.
Yeah, but OpenJDK commiters thankfully don't care about it.

E.g. look on the things introduced in JDK 16 and JDK 17.

LTS is a good gimmick for decision makers in companies, but developers also don't care about it (it is not LTS as in e.g. Ubuntu).
I don't think there is anything wrong with it. They can do whatever they like, just that it felt weird given what YC promised earlier (not sure if they promise the same thing now).

The other aspect of this is their target market (Seed investors) is also very much market risk averse, and invest heavily in execution risk businesses. They like their Saas multiples and GM very much.
Most trademarks only apply to a given, well, trade. These are specified when filing for a trademark.

For example, the Unix line of washing solutions (http://www.washing-solution.de/en/washing-machines/unix/ ) and the Unix line of curtains (https://www.kvadrat.dk/en/kinnasand/products/curtains/6704-u...! ) and the Unix line of liquid chromatography products (https://www.sepax-tech.com/Unix.php ) do not infringe on the Unix trademark related operating systems.

According to TESS, the US trademark search system, Unix in the category "IC 009. US 021 023 026 036 038. G & S: COMPUTER PROGRAMS, * NAMELY, TEST SUITES USED TO DETERMINE COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS *. FIRST USE: 19721214. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 19721214"

There is no trademark conflict to use that term for a far different product or service area.

FWIW, TESS says the following are three of the many existing trademarks for "Zee" in the US:

"IC 009. US 021 023 026 036 038. G & S: Camera hardware systems for IP (Internet protocol) video surveillance; IP (Internet protocol) cameras. FIRST USE: 20130809. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 20130809"

"IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: Educational services, professional educational orientation services, organization of expositions with educational or cultural purposes"

"IC 009. US 021 023 026 036 038. G & S: Portable chargers, namely, batteries with multiple ports for charging electronics; Portable power station, namely, batteries with multiple ports for charging electronic devices; Portable battery power station, namely, rechargeable batteries with multiple ports for charging electronics; Battery charge devices; Batteries, electric"

You'll notice they are in different areas of trade, hence no trademark conflict.

Maybe check out trademark law again. :)

It'd be nice if there was an option to set Monday as the first day of the week.
Wow, I just checked out that website and I can't believe you did that analysis! That's pretty awesome. You somehow got the data out of that site, and analyzed it.

But I did a quick sanity check on your numbers (searching on that site quakes from March 18 1922 to March 18 2022) and there are actually 153 quakes 7+ (not 136). If you share the raw data it will be more convincing!

Unless you do I'm going to take my 10 year sample from 2011 with a 68.75% of chance of quake in March (+- 1 month) as gospel :)
I suppose their bigger problem is the complete lack of security around the company, the serious turnover, and yes, suing journalists is never a sign of a nice place.

So the answer to people not paying rent is for small landlords to..not own land?

And having Amazon rent you an apartment is somehow preferable?

How about we do the critical thinking, fix zoning laws where necessary, allow tenants to be kicked out for…being shitty tenants, and make an effort to put laws in place that make it easier for people to make a living wage and pay their rent.

This is not really a demo of the voice transcription quality but of the platform. It just shows how to take an open source machine learning library (deepspeech) and make it into a webapp quickly.
I agree. The feature set is too shallow for a $12/mo subscription for personal usage. Or the target group is even more niche than I assume.
I consider myself crypto sceptic. Sceptic in the sense that a community behind a technology should be eager to label flawed projects and claims as such, and seek to improve.

In crypto/web3 a diverse landscape of projects gets thrown into a single pot and then evaluated by both sides as if they all had the same properties. See "decentralization": It feels like any project in crypto can just benefit from claiming to be decentralized.

Axie's Ronan Network is demonstrably not decentralized. Tether, USDC are not decentralized. Any cross-chain bridge is not decentralized. CEX are not decentralized. Close to all NFT projects are not decentralized. I'd say that any smart contract implementing ERC20Burnable, Mint, or Ownable are not decentralized without extra measures, same goes for upgradable tokens.

If your are not decentralized, you also can't claim to be censorship proof or trustless.

If a decentralized community wants to iterate on a project, at some point it will have to make decisions that are not unanimously approved by the community. Chain protocols handle this by letting forks battle it out. Smart Contracts reach for DAOs, but most (all?) projects have a community leadership that are Owner and perform the upgrade. You could instead have the DAO contract own the main contract and autonomously upgrade once a majority is reached. Are any projects doing this?
So sad that good memory also sucks (true for me, lots of good memory). LAN parties was the best social movement, it even had some sort of federation like cross internet cafe competition, customers exchange, home game, away game.

Last time I tried micro as an alternative to vi, it didn't even implement search and replace. I find most of those alternatives quiet heavy and featureless compared to vi.
> How does it make you feel? The insignificance of our existence, everything that we ever did, or will ever do.

It (that knowledge that everything I will ever do is absolutely irrelevant on the grand scale of things) makes me feel more powerful than ever and let's me split the relevant stuff from the irrelevant.

Instead of running after one dopamine rush and living my life at 200km/h I enjoy it more.

What isn't false in this comment is misleading.

There is, indeed, tens of thousands of empty homes in London. In a city with millions of homes. Current statistics show a vacancy rate of 2.2% [1], which is an incredibly low rate, which implies a pathologically supply-constrained market. Additionally, there is no evidence to support that even a statistically relevant proportion of those empty homes are empty for investment purposes; vacancies can happen for a number of reasons, including being between tenants, non-primary homes, etc.

For those who are not aware why this might be important, the hydrogen-boron fusion reaction is the easiest among the so-called aneutronic fusion reactions, i.e. among the fusion reactions whose products are all stable nuclei.

This kind of fusion is the only kind of fusion that may be considered clean, because the risks of producing radioactive waste are negligible.

The easier kinds of fusion, which are attempted by almost all fusion research projects, e.g. the deuterium-tritium fusion, produce most of the energy in the form of high-speed neutrons, which must be absorbed by some shield. The shield will soon become radioactive, generating a lot of radioactive waste, even if it may be hoped that by choosing carefully the shield material the kind of radioactive waste that is produced may be less dangerous than the waste generated by fission reactors.

So any research results about hydrogen-boron fusion are far more important than the results about easier fusion reactions.

Unfortunately, even with these positive news, there is no clear path towards developing some kind of fusion reactor that could use this better fusion reaction.
Ubiquiti don't have business customers in any significant numbers. Their support and QA are basically non-existant, and after they destroyed their reputation with the homelab/tinkerers community which might have helped fill that gap/make the jump, they're on a downward spiral.
Lawyers do not ask questions, if they do not already know the answers.
So here in Oregon, and more so in Portland, there have been some really radical laws passed in the last couple years. You can no longer evict people for cause without offering up to $4k in "relocation cost", and you can no longer see nor use history of felonies including sex offenses outside the past 7 or 8 years to screen tenants. You have to announce the listing publicly and take anyone who says they can pay on a first come, first served basis. And instead of showing 3x the rent as income, you can now only exclude them if they show less than 2x.

So essentially the first meth addicted child molester who scraped by 2x your rental price in the last month can move in and never be evicted.

It's really great how NPR and ProPublica keep banging on about how unfair it is for anyone who owns anything to request anything of the people they rent to. What about how unfair it is to people like me who worked their asses off to buy a house and want to take care of it? It took me 25 years of work to afford a home. No 22 year old anarchist, bless your soul because I was one, is going to explain to me why I don't deserve it. It's the only property I own. This is why I'm just allowing a friend to live for free in my house while I'm out of the country for the next year, and soaking up the lost rent rather than soaking up potential legal bills and damage. But if things continue this way, I'll sell it to a willing idiot, and everyone here who advocated for this communist shit can enjoy the hell hole they've created for themselves.

I don't think you're allowed to use unproved allegations and the fear of a possible conviction as part of the calculation of a flight risk. After all, they are innocent until proven guilty.

Mostly, the court should look at family, employment, track record of appearing in court, financial status. The only thing that would mark her as a flight risk is finances as she is wealthy enough to run away.

However, if she does run she'll loose free access to the majority of her fortune which makes her less likely to run.
Sorry, parallel followup ...

My experience is, you don't have a full range of things to rate, and not a lot of actual choices. You may be constrained geographically. So two alternatives: this is what sticks out: "40% of district is parkland, arts and crafts culture, two expensive ferry rides to any kind of significant shopping" vs "retirement community of newcomers, great local hospital, significant unhoused population"... these are the things that stick out, but no common axis to rate them on.

So the questions one are faced with when "shopping for a home town" often look like the ones this site poses.

Yeah, this is something that we're talking a lot about right now.

Left and right is a useful analytical paradigm, but it's pretty crude. We're thinking about using more pro/con splits instead. But on the other hand, most people think that there is a those people over there who are the problem, and so identifying and humanizing them seems worthwhile.

For example, if someone thinks "The left are evil anti-americas," I want to show them how "the left" can be a reasonable human.

Other than variable scope semantics of foreach.

A programming language is composed by grammar, semantics and standard library, it doesn't matter at what level it breaks, if the code or binaries cannot be brought forward without changes.

It depends, I think. I've thought about implementing a system of my own for minimal amounts of contact to keep people in my loop. Otherwise, something of a pareto distribution emerges where I talk a lot to 5 people and unfairly leave some people in the dark.

If I wanted to be extremely mercenary/selfish, I could make absolutely sure that the people who have something I want are definitely always kept in the list, and try to gradually increase their rank-order to get closer to them socially.
That is how they do their sales pitch about "supporting" Java, as most devs don't care about the details, they just take it as Google being "good".
Here's one: someone wrote a battery status "middleware" which reports battery status on DBus. Fine.

Then they coupled in "shutdown on low battery" and refuse to allow it to be disabled. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/-/issues/64

So since xfce, gnome applets use this library, I either have no battery status applet or intermittently my computer goes into shutdown after resume because the battery falsely appears dead for a few seconds.

(The kicker: it doesn't log why it decided to initiate the shutdown. Took years to find the bloody cause..)
It's a good article on a good topic, but there is no mention of Fedora / Redhat. I don't think they are immune to the same problems, but for common packages, they are highly likely to be way more on top of it than Debian / Ubuntu or the others. It would have been cool to have their numbers to compare against with the others where that was done.
Amusing. They lobby to keep the government and IRS complex, get sued back, but ultimately it’ll always be a net gain.

I would love to have the resources to do interviews and fieldwork. But we try and get these posts out within 6 hours of them trending, before the antagonistic narratives solidify and people move on to the next topic.

And although a fraction of the country uses twitter, we think it has a much larger influence. Twitter is like a narrative breeding ground, and those narratives are then picked up by journalists, which are then propagated in mainstream media and broadcast to people who aren't on twitter.

That's at least our thinking. We should probably be more explicit about what our methodology is (and why)
