It helps when you're a famous author/influencer and owner of said bookstore and have famous author/influencer friends who help promote your bookstore. This sadly isn't the case for the many gems/rare book stores in the various cities around the US. My favorite bookstores that have been opened for 30+ years are recently going out of business.

Not to discredit his success, but if anyone else followed these tips and did not have such a large following online, they would probably go under too.

The one thing I think his bookstore does better than others? A personal curated collection. Also, Holiday is just simply a better marketer than your average bookstore owner.

So just remember:

- Start small.

...

- Be famous.
That is a facebook/reddit/4chan meme and not backed up by science. Indeed most people have to try quite hard to read those sentences

We could make them one and the same thing with a stroke of legislative pen. Just because current laws do not manage X new thing correctly, we should not conclude X new thing is terrible.
you've also (gasp) given veto power over any spending you want to do, to a third party. Which is one of those things crypto was supposed to avoid.

Of course the “denazification” thing is dropped. It was nonsense propaganda to begin with.

I’m curious where you are following this? This was absolutely huge news at the beginning of this week. It’s really weird to me that wherever you are closely following this didn’t cover it.
You and the person you reply to are both right. Having been on both sides of the aisle, after working for almost 2 decades, this really makes me not look forward to switching jobs anymore. Interviewing for a job really is the worst part of working as a software engineer.
They can be handled entirely locally; the cloud management bits are optional.

(I reworked our home network to Omada gear last fall. OC200, ER605, a few managed switches, couple of EAP245 APs. Overall quite happy with it; as the person above said it's pretty much fire and forget once you get the initial setup done. Used to use -- and enjoyed -- Mikrotik but alas their wifi support/performance at least on the home front has stagnated over the past several years.)
Dropbox was known as a hard place to interview since 2014, the tech companies that had the hardest technical interviews are Quora, Palantir and Dropbox(honorable mention fog creek)(this was from a few years back so things may have changed). Just because the company makes it extremely difficult to get in does not mean the company is generally all around awesome or pays great or employs the greatest engineers. It optimizes for people who generally come straight out of an elite CS program with those learned concepts fresh in their mind, and for people who grind out on leetcode or who are great at interviewing. Of the three companies I mentioned above I would not work for any of them now.
The way Shulgin tried new drugs was way safer than probably 99.9% of the people who try mystery drugs do it.

First, he knew exactly what each compound was, as he made them himself. He wasn't trying mystery drugs he was completely clueless about.

Second, he tried the smallest dose he suspected might be safe and active, based on his world-class chemical and pharmacological knowledge.

Third, he didn't (to my knowledge) mix novel compounds, but only tried pure ones.

Fourth, if he got even a hint that they might be toxic, he stopped doing them, and only if there were no hints of toxicity did he slowly, very slowly up the dosage and let his wife/friends try it to see if his experiences were unique due to maybe his own body chemistry or other factors.

This nothing like the majority of people, who often don't have the capacity, desire, patience, or knowledge to test their drugs themselves or go to the effort and expense of having someone else do it for them.

Even if the compounds are tested by, say, groups like DanceSafe at festivals, they can only tell you what in the compound they're testing matches their reference sample.. if it also contains some other novel compound that they don't have a reference sample for then they can't tell you what it is. It's a completely different situation from Shulgin, as he knew exactly what was in the compounds he made himself.

What Shulgin did was still risky... especially in the long-term.. and I personally wouldn't do it myself, just as I wouldn't climb Mt Everest, fly in a wingsuit, go extreme skiing, or risk my life/brain in a million other ways, but I'm grateful to him for doing so in the way he did and publishing the results.

Again, that's completely different from the reckless way most people do mystery drugs.
Also, human lives aren’t at stake if things go awry.

Sorry to be skeptical but this is upside down.

We have more fitness equipment and awareness than ever, our athletes go further - and yet - we are fatter and more sedentary.

We have the opportunity to be more intellectual, and many are, but on the whole, we also are a bit busy and are predisposed to consume information 24/7 which is misrepresented (and almost all of it is, some of it more than others).

So on the whole, I think it's a lot easier for sources of misinformation to propagate more widely.

I suggest that the anti-vaxx movement is an example of this. More 'bad information' propagated than 'reasonable information' and so you have a lot of reasonably intelligent people being misguided.

Disinformation is really easy and cheap and it's nary impossible to undo.

All you need is someone with an ounce of credibility (like a Dr. or 'Kennedy' family member), and a kernel of truth (i.e. vaccines actually do some harm, we know that) and poof - you can blow up any material reality.

The 'Big Lie' about the elections similarly.

It's a really big deal, and I don't think we have any obvious solutions.

90% of the projects I work on are built on Firebase, our main worry with that is that we are locked-in, not only to "Firebase", but to Google as well which has a nasty history of just pulling the rug from under your feet without even telling you why.

Having alternatives to try and implement is always a priority for us and Supabase now (w/ edge functions) seems to cover most of our use cases, so we are definitely looking to switch to it.
Not a problem for this SF launch, since most rideshare drivers have already disappeared.
There are some large datasets for name-race correlations that can and have been used in real science. It is statistical, so not an accurate prediction for an individual, but has some merit for large groups.

For example, someone with the name José Santiago Hernández very is unlikely to be Germanic-white versus Hispanic-white.

This is always a bad idea. If you want a callback, register it manually so only registered functions are available.

Java serialization and Log4J made same style of security bug.
According to CoinATMRadar, there are more than 36,000 kiosks across the world where you can buy and sometimes sell crypto in exchange for cash. The fees are higher, but it's a much easier onboarding process (sometimes none at all) than a centralized exchange.

> The giant feature is "start a VM in less than 1 second". Followed by things like suspending/resuming VMs.

Is this for scaling existing apps up (eg flyctl regions add ...) or for new deployments (flyctl deploy)?

I suspect the former (scaling existing) as artifact distribution and deployment parameters like health checks seem like they prevent subsecond deployments (even ignoring the time for initial artifact uploading/building). Although my view is probably quite biased by Nomad having a much better chance at solving the former than the latter!

(Also hi! I appreciate our chats in the past and feel free to reach out if you're willing to brain dump Nomad gripes on me. :) )
> graduating without programming skills is impossible

I’ve encountered many who graduated from bachelor and even PhD programs without programming skills (even from European universities), so your statement is false.

It also seems pretty weird to assume that a degree or certificate is foolproof for demonstrating programming skills. That seems like a lack of critical thinking skills.
> You do realize that the entire "ubiquiti sucks" mood on HN started with the publications of these (factually inaccurate) articles from Krebs?

Nobody’s posted a “Ubiquiti sucks” thread from before the Krebs kerfuffle, so here’s one from Nov 2019. In that thread, people complain about a new “phone home” feature and Ubiquiti ignoring the terms of the GPL.

Pretty much an example of Apple being evil and trying to squeeze their customers rather than serve them.
It still frustrates me that Swarm was basically given a free pass after their illegal satellite deployments[1]. They broke both the law and good cultural norms around space tech in a meaningful way, barely got a slap on the wrist, and then ended up being acquired for quite a good amount of money. The FCC commissioner even stated that "The size of the penalty imposed is probably not significant enough to deter future behavior."

Move fast and break things shouldn't have been acceptable for an organization operating in this area, and that Swarm had no meaningful repercussions for doing so should be a black mark on the org and the executive running it for a long time. I'm certainly hoping others don't use their model as a blueprint.

I scanned the comments to see if anyone had mentioned Causal[1] yet. I’d describe it as a spreadsheet specifically for modelling.

I used it to build a cost model for the startup I work at, consisting of around 100 different inputs, and it was rather enjoyable.

I was able to (reasonably easily) insert the different AWS costs for (for example) SD vs. HD video transcoding and see how that affected the costs of encoding and storing video 12 months from now.

As a native, life-time Californian I cannot believe anyone is leaving.

You'll never find a state as progressive as California- energy, taxes, social causes, taxes, transit, homelessness, taxes, housing prices, political corruptness, taxes.

The best part about my fellow, life-time Californians leaving California is how they simply continue to vote the same way no matter where they end up. This is a great mechanism for allowing for more states just as progressive as California, which they will unfortunately leave at some point too!

Dropbox was famously leading the SWE comp charts[1]. In particular, they focused on equity grants both pre- and post-IPO.

Well, live by the equity sword, die by the equity sword: SP500 is up 16 percent in the past year, DBX is down 10 percent. Even over the long term, DBX is down 15 percent since their IPO 5 years ago, while SP500 is up 77 percent. It's the kind of performance that results in layoffs[2], which will probably hit your most expensive / experienced engineers first. Glassdoor ratings suggest remote work did not go well when combined with the layoff.

It's not just drivers. It's really about ensuring that the folks that maintain the kernel have a way to test the code they maintain. The reasons that we (the kernel maintainers) have for this requirement are varied. But, for me, it's really nice to have at least one open source implementation that can test the kernel code. Without that, the kernel code can bit rot too easily.

Even better is if an open source implementation is in the kernel tree, like in tools/testing/selftests. That makes it even less likely that the kernel code gets broken.

Disclaimer: I work on Linux at Intel, although not on drivers like this Habana one.

No. I did attend medical school a while back though, when I certainly knew more about the specific reactions involved here.
Every big corp has that data. Remember Google ditching brainteaser questions due to the lack of correlation between the interview and job performance.

I think Lebanon demonstrates, perhaps, more of a counternarrative.

Even though the Lebanese currency collapsed while bitcoin exploded, crypto still is not being used for everyday uses.

I suppose "something tradeable" is not an empty niche. Local currency still works if you don't hold it long. Foreign currency works for everything else.

There's not a replacement for fiat. The Lebanese lost trust in almost every aspects of their government. Sure, that's a problem for their national currency. But, you don't get that much mileage from crypto in this case.
All this post says is that among the candidates who scored highest on this model, a higher proportion worked at these companies.

But there's no inverse analysis: of people who worked at these companies, how predictive was that overall of a higher score on this particular assessment?

'Our five highest scores ever were all people who wanted to leave FooCo' tells you little about the overall quality of FooCo employees. Maybe the rest of them are terrible and these five needed to get away?
This statement is factually wrong. I'll hope that in correcting it maybe some readers on HN can help learn about this common misunderstanding, and it's important ramifications for understanding the often demonized white working class.

The working class is not even remotely "mostly people of color". The most recent data I could quickly find (from https://talkpoverty.org/basics/) shows that there are 15.9 million white Americans in poverty compared to 8.5 million Black people. Poverty rates among Black Americans are far higher than among white Americans, but in absolute numbers there are roughly twice as many poor and working class whites. In a similar dynamic, there are far more poor whites than there are rich whites.

This creates the essential conflict when we use race instead of socioeconomic class or income. Instead of creating programs and policies to help the poor, we create programs and policies to help people on the basis of race. Those unfortunate 16,000,000 poor white citizens get double-excluded and then scorned as racists when they distrust a system that so clearly harms them.

The story here isn't that these people are racists, the story is that people are being harmed by a system that focuses on race instead of need.

My conclusion so that Dropbox has a lot of smart people who want to leave. Higher numbers of interviewees means more folks want to leave and are practicing to do so.

Speaking of PL/I, Intel made a few operating systems in the late 70s / early 80s written in their dialect of PL/I called PL/M. There was ISIS, which ran on their microprocessor development stations, and iRMX, the real time O/S running on the target microprocessors.

Having used both, ISIS was quite a bit more advanced than 'competitors' like DOS and CP/M at the time.
It sure does and the article explains it (it’s a transport issue not a supply issue, as the growth in wheat production this year will exceed the shortfall).
> I lost a lot of faith in the academic world after that.

I would argue instead that you have demonstrated the importance of peer review (a cornerstone of academic research). The problem is not really academic research, but that we do too little of both academic research and peer review.

"I assume you've followed Jespen?"

You might also want to check out autonomous deterministic testing, which is like Jepsen, but where you can explore many more state spaces by speeding up time, and where you can replay any distributed bugs instantly, just by replaying a seed.

This is a brilliant talk on these techniques:

FoundationDB — How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Trust the Database — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJb8A6h9jQQ

I also work on a distributed database called TigerBeetle [1] where we use these new techniques. You can run our simulation tests yourself even. It's as simple as cloning the repo and running "scripts/vopr.sh", and let me know if you want a tour!

These testing techniques work so well that we've been running a bug bounty challenge with awards up to $8192 for anyone who can find a way to break it or crash it. It comes with the simulation testing all included so it's pretty easy to get started. [2]

The last I heard was that Ukraine would agree not to join NATO if it were voted on by Ukraininians after the Russians withdrew completely.
Oh, and the other condition is that other countries like the US will guarantee Ukraine's safety, in a framework remarkably similar to Article 5 of the NATO agreement.
I have never, ever heard Ukraine agree that Donbas and Crimea would be annexed by Russia.

For self driving cars to succeed, there just has to be a few good use cases where people prefer them to normal cars, and there's sufficient economic value to run a business. They do not have to murder the existing car industry in order to 'succeed'.

Look at electric vehicles - they've been around for more than a decade now. Many ppl have one and it adds value to their life. Still you can't do _everything_ a gas car can do like drive 1000 miles in a single day. But that's not important because there are places they do shine.

And even though there's still way more ICE cars than EVs on the road, you probably wouldn't argue that EVs "aren't a thing".

Also, you're assuming that the world/environment around the innovation is static, when in most cases the world adapts around the innovation. For EVs, we now see charging stations at grocery stores and office buildings to assist people which the battery capacity problem

I have Cinebench R23 installed and I can tell you 1T means 1 thread, thus single core as the article mentioned.

You can set how many threads the renderer will use. https://i.imgur.com/kBNvLe1.png

And it is pure CPU render. No GPU is used. It would be borderline comical if the article used a GPU benchmarking tool to measure CPU performance.
Yes, the article shows a Geekbench win of 3% in single core performance. It fails to detail the enormous power consumption penalty Intel is paying to get that performance. That makes a huge difference in laptop usability.
