We started Wit.ai from Pebble's offices in 2013 in Palo Alto. We didn't know anyone in the Valley, but Eric had read our "Show HN" and kindly offered us to hang out there.
We grew to a 6-people team and stayed there for 6 months -- Eric never asked us to pay $1. He helped us a lot and he also pushed us to join YC (W14). We wouldn't have made Wit.ai without him and I'll be thankful forever.
Cmd-a and Cmd-e work in most/all native controls, no? Really ergonomic once you've remapped caps to cmd as well.
Ask HN: Do you feel bad for having a good job?
When I interact with people who have demanding jobs that give them little pay or respect, I feel bad because I'm younger than they are, but I make much more money doing much more comfortable work.

You might say I "deserve" my current place in life. Nothing has been handed to me, and I'm unusually smart and hard working. But I believe that I was born smart, and I've always had a compulsion to work hard.

I feel uncomfortable interacting with people of lower social classes. I don't care what they think about me. I just feel bad that they might lack respect or comfort in their work, or that their general life position may be unpleasant.

I give rather large tips, but it doesn't make me feel better. I usually tell myself that they probably greatly appreciate the jobs that they have and are using it as a stepping stone to achieve their dreams - that makes me feel better. I've also decided to stop avoiding discomfort/pain in my life, which makes me feel better.

Do you experience this? How do you deal with it?

This is the track record for Metaculus (the chart at the end) showing historically a 10% swing in predictions of 50% historically by aggregated forecasters on the site: https://www.metaculus.com/questions/track-record/

Granted this tells us nothing about the accuracy of any one particular question, but on aggregate Metaculus is pretty well calibrated.

That said, there is a longstanding academic debate between "forecasting can tell us useful things" (Telock) and "black swans will ruin your life" (Taleb).
There's certainly no excuse for them not announcing this change, no debate about that.

However, the payout schedule between Bill.com as the payment processor (an agent of the OP) and OP. Payment processors can and do hold funds for various reasons, and customers never should have been sent a late notice without someone actually checking the payment records themselves on Bill.com to see if payment was made.
For e.g. the Pythagorean theorem - that was independently discovered by many cultures centuries or even millennia before the Greek mathematician.

There is no need to refer it to his name, it could be the law of triangular squares or something (just an example, please do roast me for this)

Also, the theorem is is mentioned in the Baudhayana Sulba-sutra of India in almost the same structure, word for word, written between 800 and 400 BCE.

Today, it appears as if the Greeks are the fountainhead of all of western philosophy and world mathematics.

In education, the western civilisation is studied as an inverted pyramid. A large base of goodness and greatness with some badness towards the sharp peak thrown in.. like how the US is a country founded on principles of freedom while the bad parts like slavery is seen as a small aberration.
Contrast it with the treatment of India in the western press, education and academia. The base of India is the bad bad casteism, poverty, snake charmers, millions of gods, some sort of pagan religion, etc which gets all the focus while small goodnesses hardly gets any mention. Nobody knows about Indian systems of philosophy which is richer than the Greek - from Advaita to Nagarjuna's Buddhist nihilism - ever heard of these? Blame your education. If you have heard, kudos, you are a statistical outlier.

All this leads to the ingrained slant that we see on social media.
India means rapists, poverty and what not. The leftist academia dismisses all of India as unworthy of respect.

This is just an example. Thanks for reading. Disagree if you must, but let's enjoy the freedom of expression.

Actually I am teaching both pd and glicol in the University of Oslo this semester. It's even quite surprising to me that most students seem to gain more logic programming ideas from pd (such as the counter and metro controlled sequencer) while learning more dsp from glicol and its browser console based docs: https://glicol.org

Of course, Miller's book is always there http://msp.ucsd.edu/techniques.htm and the examples are in pd, which is always helpful for learning dsp.
Oh hi alfonso! Clicked into your profile from your Ask HN re alternative career paths, then realized it was you!

Thanks for this reply! Really cool suggestions. I definitely should dig around arts and philosophy more, especially in ways you've suggested!

Question: Are you able to give example(s) of #2? Like you mean something by Aiweiei would count right? I came across a few books of his and thought was pretty cool.
I don't understand this one:

> In IM2000, mailing lists are a purely local matter for the receiver's software.

We still need to manage list of users we want to send notifications to, right? ("The message isn't copied to the receiver's ISP. All the receiver needs is a brief notification that a message is available.") Or is it expected there will be no "push" notifications for mailing lists, but I will actively ask about new messages in the list on every inbox refresh? That seems a bit wasteful, especially when this protocol seems to be concerned about efficiency.
"Plain old trolling" in the traditional sense (e.g. back with newsgroups) is seeking to provoke an emotional reaction, but without regard to the truth of falsity of the statement, and not necessarily with any grander agenda.

It was only later that it came to be (mis?)applied toward organized disinformation campaigns.
> I don't follow this at all. How can "making a fuss" legitimize a perceived problem into objective reality?

Because if the law was actually solving a "problem that doesn't exist," it would be a noop and no one would care. Since people on both sides care, it's obviously not a noop.

Also think about the example I gave before: if the government builds a fallout shelter, what problem was it solving if there's no fallout to shelter from? X doesn't have to be happening right now for people to worry about it, and it's perfectly legitimate for the government to do something within its power to allay those fears. A more contemporary example is climate change: the present-day effects wouldn't justify the kinds of changes that are being demanded. What justifies those changes is the fear of what would happen in 100 years.
Good idea, I'll check it out.
Solar panels on the train car roofs would utterly fail to propel the train, even at noon. So, the energy has to be concentrated somehow. Batteries are heavy, and also involve a pair of chemical transformations. Hydrogen is the single most energy-dense (per unit mass) medium.

But hydrogen is not best compressed, but liquified. There might be some value in compressing it on the way to liquifaction. Liquifying hydrogen consumes some energy too.
Maybe I'm the only one that finds being locked into full screen mode a horrific experience.
In the UK at least there is a pretty strong divide between expensive houses and merely ok houses. Everything just looks and smells of money, in a way that is particularly apparent over here because of the way our property ladder is.

I don't mean gold plated toilet seats (I've never met anyone truly wealthy versus rich), but just because I have a chip on my shoulder I like googling bits of furniture or appliances I see, and find it immutably bizarre to see a set of taps that cost more than my computer, especially because they're nearly always made to look "rustic".

At the moment in particular you have to be pretty secure and living in a sparse area to be able to get basically anything done to a house, i.e. because the builders don't you need you as much as you need them so they won't turn up.
For now.

They've changed free things to not free things many times in the past. Or started restricting features once it gets popular. Don't depend on it for anything you want to last a while.

Don't they legally have to be a bank to do that? With FDIC insurance, etc, etc.
So true. I assume it's because modern social media is monetized so much more, so the incentive is to encourage any and all engagement, including troll feeding.
Can they? I'd think even with the faster speed you'd still need to be decently big to avoid getting turned into various exciting forms of gas when hitting the atmosphere. I mean of course you don't have to be _as_ big, but is it like an order of magnitude difference?
Adam Neely is fun “pop science” about music but this one in particular is a real treat. Love the cover of the song by Martina de Silva here too.
It is still used for bad cops. Instead of being prosecuted, they are let go, and hired into the next jurisdiction over.
At this stage I just reject communication anyway, I am never going to reach some dumb compromise with conservatives, [homo,trans]-phobes, racists, oligarch supporters, climate change deniers etc. In my view they are morally, ethically, scientifically wrong so there is absolutely nothing constructive to even engage with. I don't think the fundamental problem is:

>wow if only you just were good faith and were able to engage with these people!

They are fundamentally opposed to everything I stand for. I don't think communication is possible. Maybe there are unaligned or uniformed people that are still to pick, but the only solution is actually building a better society, and one side winning.
Don't tell anyone, pass it on.

So (had to look it up) Reader was infamously the shuttered project that first caused a lot of backlash...that went for 8 years. They closed it due to "declining usage" i.e. they could not monetize well.

Play Music died after 9 years, and that even featured paid souscriptions...the logic of "paid for and around" doesnt seem to be a solid argument, esp for a company making money primarily off of data - as of 2021 their cloud business is only 5% of their revenue, ~74% of their revenue is ad based the rest is devices (nest, phones), and Youtube.

I think its pretty reasonable to be concerned about the longevity of this product - maybe we will be wrong, but.
Many of the cameras (twin-lens reflex) have just the one lens. (Or if they have other lens it's an odd sort of attachment — probably not worth the hassle.) There is a lot to be said to "using your feet to zoom" with a fixed (prime) lens.

I did play with both a Mamiya and Bronica that had bayonet-style lens mounts. I cannot say from memory which lens I used with each. They were primes to be sure. I'm thinking maybe about 150mm or so? I believe that because of the film size, they're equivalent to about half their length in 35mm. So a 150mm lens is more like a 75mm lens for a 35mm camera (a decent portrait lens).

Generally though, not an "action" camera, so telephoto was mot so interesting. People and land/cityscapes look best, IMHO so a wide to medium-angle lenses were the best.

Ask HN: How did Fast get a $580mm valuation?
It looks like they only had $600k in annual revenue (don’t even think it was ARR). Also doesn’t look like their founder had any successful exits. From the couple of startups I worked at, I think we had at least $10mm in ARR when we hit the half billion valuation. What gives?

How do you approach conflict resulting from bad faith interaction? How do you deescalate such conflict?
> ...fact that people care does not mean that the problem it overtly addresses exists.

In my framing, the problem being solved was the concern over the future development of the problem that's claimed to not exist.
Limbaugh was so "fringe on the radio" that they gave him a Monday Night Football announcer spot, at least until he had a predictable response to a black football player in a position traditionally played by white guys.
A satire about renting a personal vegetarian to offset your meat-eating: http://www.tabootrades.com/veggie/

A more serious essay: https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/01/04/ethics-offsets/

Previous discussion on cement and CO2 emissions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24604335 tl;dr cement releases lots of CO2 when manufactured (you are basically running CaCO3 → CaO + CO2), but the reaction runs partially in reverse when the cement cures. There was no clean conclusion on what is the overall result.
The same problem would not occur. The reason the climate issue has been allowed to go on so far under capitalism is broken feedback loops: the people who are worst affected by climate change and the people who make the decision to emit more greenhouse gases are different people.

Under a non-capitalist system (at least from an anarchists perspective), the people affected would also be the ones to decide how much to emit -- and it's unlikely they would be as crazy about climate change.

(Not to mention that assuming "the lifestyle of today" where a small fraction of a percentage of the population does most of the consumption would be sustainable under anything other than capitalism seems like a mistake.)

Clearly there are all manner of outcomes if employers stopped paying for health insurance. Generalising is fruitless.

Yes some companies will optimize for profit - some already do that, amazon makes a killing while warehouse staff are low paid. Uber makes everyone a contractor specifically to avoid benefits and so on.

Other companies pay a living wage, and cost a "cost to company" for each employee. These may choose to pay the benefit as cash.

Where I live the tax benefit of health care applies to companies and individuals alike. Some companies have mandatory health cover, others have optional health cover, others have no health cover. Since there is no tax implication it's not hard for prospective employees to compare one with another.

Ultimately, some companies pay low wages, some pay high wages, that's somewhat tangential to health cover or not.

Speculating on what most employers would "most likely do" is, well, just speculation[1]

[1] large companies like amazon known for screwing employees? Yeah, I'm with you there - but I don't think most employers are like that.
Their life could be extended by some medical care they can't afford, so they would not get that care and die sooner instead.
>I only know of one research project that resulted in a patent.

You do realize that there is a large number of people that have only patented a handful of things and retired? They robbed that opportunity from you plain and simple. Universities patenting IP in the first place is inarguabley wrong . They are funded with tax dollars and have no right to the IP in the first place. At the very least all IP should be released into public domain, more ideally with right of first refusal to the grad students involved.

I am only closely involved with people in the grad life not in it myself. I may be wrong as how bad the grad student thing is, no benefits is dramatic i suppose. However there is massive manipulation of young people inexperienced in negotiation involved, double so when there is no recourse after the fact like quitting/leaving/changing/moving. I hear and see endless things that make my skin crawl from grad friends and they are most definitely beting taken advantage of in power gap that is funded with tax dollars.
> The goal has been to communicate some basic concepts to layman, intellectuals, and policy-makers alike, challenging many of the fundamental ideas that we assume as "truth" or "common-knowledge", and discussing the many complex implications of such assumptions. Ultimately, my vision is to inspire cultural change that is grounded in a firm understanding of some basic principles (outline below).

What seems grandiose isn't so much the writing project as your apparent belief that you understand the world better than anyone else and can solve all its problems! That is most likely a delusion. :-) Anyway, I'd be into proof-reading/editing/giving feedback on the stuff you write. The topics you mentioned remind me of people I've learned from on those subjects - Dewey, Hilary Putnam, Erich Fromm etc. My email is on my page. (I felt like flagging most of the comments on this page. "Not the kind of thing I'm into at all but here's a kick in the face". Sigh.) Good luck!
We have pretty high estimates of what CO2 costs. Depending on how you discount future damage CO2 should cost at least 300€/ton.

Are there any tips other than these?
1. Successful planning at the start - Setting goals of you blogging, identifying competitors, choosing a blogging platform, deciding the niche of the blog

2. Using Search Engine Optimisation(SEO) - SEO really helps me a lot in blogging. And to rank higher on google.

3. Quality Content

4. Uniqueness

5. Using social media - being available on social media as a page of the blog helps to share our content among various kinds of people with different ideas and interests which improves engagements.

6. Building relationships in the blog - strengthening user-user relationships, author-user relationships matters when creating quality and useful content. Not only that but also there are bunch of advantages of it.

Let me know your experiences.
That's according to our knowledge and understanding. It may not be the same for a civilization that is advanced enough to send such a probe.

Such a clickbait article with no duty to prove its hypothetical accusations! AI can generate a bunch of "Russia force may [war crime here]..." articles with no human involvement! First, white phosphorus was used on civilians in Donbas, so, are they claiming that the DPR and LPR militias were burning alive their own people?!
I think the article is pretty clear - it wasn't about him being force to keep paying.. rather him not wanting to destroy his credit, since bank "didn't have it" that he doesn't own that Tesla because Tesla never submit "stop" letter to the bank that they took over its possession.
> fake 10-bit color mode, have terrible color gamut, bad viewing angles, horribly glossy, or some other incredible limitation.

From the ad copy of a Dell U2720Q 4K 27":

> Exceptional color: Get wide color coverage with 95% DCI-P3 – which covers approximately 25% more color space than sRGB – for true color reproduction. This monitor also offers 99% sRGB and 99% Rec 709 color coverage.

> Outstanding color depth: With and outstanding color depth of 1.07 billion colors (that’s 64 times more color depth than standard monitors), excellent peak brightness and a high contrast ratio of 1300:1, images are displayed in true-to-life color with clear details even in dark shadows or brightly lit areas. Be prepared for better color gradation and precision in more shades on this VESA DisplayHDR™ 400 monitor.

> True-to-life details: 4K UHD (3840 X 2160) resolution with a high pixel density of 163ppi gives you four times more details than Full HD.

> Accurate color, out of the box: Your monitor is factory calibrated at 99% sRGB to an accuracy of Delta-E less than 2 for accurate colors right from the start.

- Better color gamut
- 178 degree viewing angle
- Brighter panel
- Anti-glare coated

Even if you don't get 10-bit you'll get more accurate colors because the deltaE value is lower. And since you panel is 10 years old panel uniformity will certainly be much better.

I bought 2 used 4K Dell U2718Q displays (the older model) for 250 each. The best displays I have ever used. Very worth it. I recommend you demo 1 if you can.
People love conflating people living on the streets as just homeless, but the approach to solve the problem really requires two solutions. The first is to provide housing for the people mentally capable of taking care of themselves. The rest require either public housing in a facility that can take care of them (abandoned mentally ill) or rehab programs that will hopefully help addicts recover and reestablish themselves. The mentally ill and addicts will not be able to function with just free housing.

The big benefit of ACME is that it verifies domain ownership at the correct level.

DigiCert and the like will typically require domain verification at the TLD+1, which is meaningless gibberish that isn't even remotely an RFC standard. There's no such "concept" in DNS, which is intended to be delegated.

So for example if I'm tasked with deploying a web app to "dev1.app.project.org.parentcompany.megacorp.co.uk" where the "project team" is based out of -- say -- Australia, then DigiCert will insist that I verify that I own "megacorp.co.uk", which... I don't. The parent company might not either. MegaCorp's UK head office does. They've never heard of me, and it'll take me a month to get through to someone who cares about my tiny, outsourced project down under.

This kind of thing has happened to me repeatedly across both corporate and government projects. A 2-week project can have a 1 month delay added to it because of this.

ACME gets it right, and nobody else does.

Googler, opinions are my own. I know nothing about this project, but I've had to deal with Google certs a few times.

It sounds like the roots are the ones that Google uses to sign it's own domains (like Google.com), which are these: https://pki.goog/repository/

So likely support for them is fairly broad.
