> You're right that neither survey asks the correct question

I don't recall saying this. This is getting complex, so let's recap:

GGP: "No, American is not collapsing"

GP: "There are people who believe that America is collapsing if Roe v Wade isn’t overturned."

There are multiple ways to interpret this, and I've been referring to it in the sense of, "for them, overturning Roe vs Wade means America isn't collapsing."

P: "A quite small minority".

Meaning, if I've used the correct interpretation, "quite a small minority think America will collapse if Roe vs Wade isn't overturned."

You could say that both camps who believe America is collapsing is "quite a small minority" of Americans. However, I was interpreting the statement in the sense of, "quite a small minority of the set of people who believe America is collapsing."

From the most recent Gallup poll, a third of people wanted the court to overturn Roe vs Wade. My point was that if the subset of those who believe America is collapsing is politically divided in a similar ratio as the superset (those polled about wanting/not wanting Roe vs Wade overturned), then we wouldn't expect either to be a very small minority, since 30% isn't close to a very small minority.

It can be. The beauty of Eve is you get to decide how to play the game, how much stress you want to take. You don't have to do it the way other one is. It's completely fine to mine in a Venture. The game is a fractal at every level of game play, the risks and rewards simply go up as you advance in the game and develop more ambitious personal goals.

You can decide what level to play at and grow as you like, as you get better.

It's with this approach that I'll probably always return to Eve, play it for a bit, stop and repeat.
Try turning that thought around and you may see why it makes more sense to discontinue. If Apple can get someone to spend an extra $100 on a base-level iPhone instead of an iPod Touch, the margins aren't as good but the product pipeline is simpler and suddenly they're a convert to the iOS ecosystem and all the revenue that brings. It just doesn't make sense to offer a disconnected iPhone type device any more.
Maybe this is why I love steamed carrots. My body is subconsciously telling me something. Steam them till they're soft and saute them briefly in olive oil with some turmeric and garlic... Now I want carrots.
> Sure, but then you have that background concern about them accidentally dialing 911.

Kids should be taught about 911 at a very young age anyway. IMO, if they're old enough for an iPod Touch, they're old enough to be taught about 911.
Isn't that what the Apple Watch is supposed to do?

I agree that a relatively simple, relatively low-priced media player with great build quality would have a market - but Apple would be cannibalising it's 'fitness-oriented' market if they allowed both the Shuffle and the Watch to exist.
We’re Watching the End of the Movies
We have a bunch of old iPhones for kids, but we can’t setup iMessage on those phones without an active phone number. We can setup iMessage (email based) on iPad and iPod Touches, so this is frustrating. I want my kids to not be full on cellular internet, but I like that they can message relatively safely friends and family with iMessage.
> That's a similar approach to supabase. Why reinvent the wheel?

We've initially built the technology already for IHP DataSync (https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/Guide/realtime-spas.html). So we used what we already had here :)

> Why websockets?

We also use the WebSockets to do write operations. This allows for lower latency than doing a HTTP call for any API call. Additionally we run all operations in parallel. With HTTP push we wouldn't be able to easily run all these operations in parallel.
For my anecdotal experience, microservices is the introduction of fiefdoms in development.

And, I get it. Selfishly I would love to come onto a project and only have to worry about net-new development. It is hard to learn, and then positively contribute within another engineered system... of any complexity. When it's "my code" I tend to be much more productive, and it's easier to find my way through the forest.

Anymore, everyone is on a power-grab for "my tools" and "my way" in regards to everything they're working on with near-zero attempt to understand the base needs of the business/feature. Microservices fill this need well as devs can work with their preferred toolset and just setup I/O boundaries for everyone else to use their service. Also, this is good for resume-driven development as you can often claim creation/ownership over some "piece" which looks way better on paper vs. "contributed to a big 'ol project."

I'm not against microservices, I'm just being honest with how I've seen them socially play out - all of this is anecdotal to my experiences.
Apple discontinues the iPod after 20 years
The monolith vs microservice debate always seemed so misguided to me. It seems exactly like vim vs emacs. Or ruby vs python. The arguments are always the same.

* "In vim I can do this in 3 keystrokes, in emacs it takes 5!" (where "this" is some vim-idiomatic thing you'd never do in emacs).

* "Ruby leads to bad programs, I have inherited a legacy ruby codebase and you wouldn't believe what they did..." / "Python leads to bad programs, I have inherited a legacy python codebase and you wouldn't believe what they did..."

* My team took a python/ruby app and rewrote it ruby/python, and now it's 99% faster and our productivity is way higher!

What I'm hinting at is this: You can write a bad or good microservice or monolith. The rules are different. You'll have different frustrations and tradeoffs. You'll have to play to the architecture's strengths and avoid it's weaknesses. You'll NEED institutional standards to keep people from doing the wrong thing for the architecture model and making a mess.
Ask HN: In what ways can you get into learning serious mathematics?
Is entering through Calculus/Analysis the only way to truly learn mathematics? Or are there other equally good ways? What are those?
>The first case has clients outlined, a good estimation of revenue, competition, etc... The second is more abstract but aims higher. Success (albeit highly unlikely) means billions in revenues.

It's a stereotype that startups don't have things like estimates of revenue, a clear business plan, clients, etc... A few crazy outliers get all the attention but the vast majority that get funding have a clear and convincing plan to get to profitability, and often clients or at least partner businesses (in other words clients that aren't paying yet, but are willing to spend their own resources working with you).

The problem is that most new businesses fail, so if you're investing in new businesses the winners can't just make you a little money, they have to pay for multiple losers too.

You also need to convince investors that it's worth putting their money into these risky businesses instead of say Microsoft/Apple/Google/Amazon/etc... which will not go out of businesses anytime soon and produce respectable returns.
I wonder if there is a term similar to Rust Evangelism Strike Force for AOM. But generally speaking AOM supporter refuse to accept anything but AOM. This isn't just the case with patented video codec like HEVC or VVC. But even something like JPEG-XL.

I would not be surprised if whole team of Google engineers threaten to quit if the company were to support HEVC in their browser.

One could also argue, in the context of Internet video, [1] HEVC doesn't actually provide that much cost saving. The cost of bandwidth have reduced by 90%+ in the past 10 years. And we should see continue cost reduction in the next 10 years. While the cost of storage is extremely slow if not risen due to the usage of NAND. Hence there isn't really a need to switch. H.264 is still the most efficient video codec in terms of complexity / compression. ( May be MPEG-5 EVC is better in this scenario, but it is still very new )

[1] Video codec has lot of usage outside of internet, HN and internet/Tech comments tends to have a world view where everything is internet and ignore broadcast or other media usage.
Yeah, it's exactly kind of stuff that would be criticised in banana republics. And it is somehow okay in USA... Then again CIA did have huge hand in those republics, so it is reasonable to expect they might have used similar tactics at home... You never known, specially knowing how much the mainstream political machine hated the democracy.

How did you get iPhone to enable iMessage without a phone number?
YouTube is not a natural monopoly, as evidenced by the fact that there are other video hosting services (e.g. Vimeo, Facebook, PeerTube). The network effect is real, to be sure, but it isn't absolute, and anyone can start a competing service which is immediately accessible to every Internet user(†). It's not cheap or easy, of course, especially at YouTube's scale, but YouTube has to overcome the same issues. That's just called being good at what they do.

†) Other than those blocked by the Great Firewall of China, of course—or other national firewalls—but then are they really Internet users when large portions of the Internet are inaccessible to them due to government censorship?

Yes, it is viable, I have a Lenovo 3000 N100 (2007) still running as a VPN Server, while I am overseas since 3 years ago. A non-tech person living in that house turns it on for me every once in a while, as I have not configured any Wake-on-LAN or similar. The only new internal parts are the 2Gb of RAM sticks and SSD.

It runs CentOS 7, installed well before Red Hat did the CentOS Stream thing. It has a ZTE MF667 GSM USB modem I use to receive SMSes for 2FA that local banks still use.

It doesn't have any desktop environment, therefore I only use it via SSH. It updates its own IP address via a free subdomain on freedns.afraid.org using a cron job.

The attack surfaces for desktops, even Linux desktops, is incredibly large in comparison to the phone. The only difference is that your concern of "the OS manufacturer" hacking your phone are lessened on Linux, assuming you're auditing all packages you download or are using a permission-based OS like Nix.

~$1M capital gain 9 months ago and it's too late to roll it into an opportunity zone.

I'm on the point of panic about taxes right now and still trying to sort out my expenses over the last 2 years which do include about $500k in investment in one of the poorest areas in the country. My location just happens to be gerrymandered out of the local opportunity zone though.
Huh? My point was that "Communism concentrates power within bureaucrats" should be "Authoritarianism concentrates power within bureaucrats".

That's pretty much by definition.
The noise from engines isn't from their combustion or their moving parts. It's from the massive air flow they cause. Ionic engines aren't going to be much quieter for aircraft, assuming they're even possible to move that much air.

Also air breathing ionic propulsion kind of depends on the external presence of ions, which requires space conditions, not normal atmospheric conditions.
Since smartphoners have taken over, we are seeing most businesses insisting on users' owning and sharing their phone numbers. WiFi-only devices like iPod Touch could have played an important role in resisting this trend - especially with kids. Too bad there never were any popular WiFi-only models in the Android world.
Can't use sklearn so much for NLP. Sure, it's great for small ML tasks, but you need big honking transformer models to compete in the field.

On the other hand prompting GPT-3 or fine-tuning text transformers is quite accessible now. About as easy as using sklearn.
> Cattle ranching could certainly be done with less impact in less dry regions as well.

I doubt that would solve the problem. It would just transplant it. Cattle, pork, and chicken demand has dramatically compounded corresponding production in Brazil and deforestation. We don't need to move the rice, alfalfa, and intensive production of ruminating animals moved around like checkers pieces. The Ogalalla aquifer of the Midwest supporting multiple states' peoples and farms is also drying out. We need to rethink our water use, not move the problem around.
> Vision: Promote employee stock ownership for American Mittelstands.

I'm especially interested in this last bit and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for learning about the different models people have tried for this.

I have what I can only really describe as a hunch or an instinct (not even a theory at this point) that there's something good for people about owning what they help create.

But I keep getting caught in the brass tacks of it. When I've earned small ownership stakes in companies, the only real way that had any direct monetary value to me was if the company had an exit and I stopped being an owner.

Would some sort of dividend or profit-sharing agreement solve this? Are there long-established means of allowing small-scale owners to profit from their ownership that I've just failed to come across?

The accredited investor laws in the U.S. make it such that most working class people can't buy ownership in private companies, but if they could earn it and profit from that ownership, that seems like a much stronger way of "investing in what they know" and potentially seeing outsized returns rather than just investing broadly in the stock market as it goes up.
the indirection in these crate names is too damn high
Isn't an average next app pretty much a monolith? It gets split into lambdas when you deploy it, but the development experience feels monolithic to me.

If I want to use some function, I often just import it and call it directly, instead of calling one serverless function from another over http. That means the function gets bundled into a few lambdas, but so far, I've had no issues with that. The monolith abstraction hasn't really leaked for me.
A simple setup like that works well for "just" media streaming, but quickly hits a wall if you want more features: stuff like library search, subtitles, chromecast streaming, etc.
Looks like I finally moved my dad from an iPod touch to an iPhone SE at the right time.

(He was convinced, for whatever reason, he couldn’t figure out how to use an iPhone…despite he uses an iPod touch, and an iPad, and quite fluently. And within 1 day he was delighted, because he finally had something approximating a useful camera in his pocket.)
Cultural issues would be the aspect other than industrial, that gave the Americans a huge advantage. Decentralized command and initiative of low level officers and soldiers was a big factor.

Can't remember the episode but this has been discussed on the Jocko Podcast I think.
“The church bells had chimed unchallenged every 15 minutes since 1779.”

Over _all the night_. Seriously, this appears to be quite a rational complaint.
Air travel isn't something that can be offshored - if somebody in America wants to fly, they're getting on a plane in America, where an American carbon tax would apply.

Sure, it doesn't fix industries which can offshore, but it's a good place to start. Commercial air is a major source of carbon emissions.

In my experience, the project to break apart a monolith often happens without a clear definition of what problems we trying to solve by breaking apart the monolith. Which ends up creating a raft of new problems plus the old problems and a bunch of sticky left overs that are perpetually "going away soon".

And since you have no clear definition of why and what outcomes you expect, you also get massive scope creep in the middle of all this. Then you run into all the things no one planned for because there was no plan like how do we serve business functions like BI from our 30 new micro-service databases.

Just curious, I'm not familiar with Go. Will it copy the references anyway, meaning both structures now have a pointer to the same object? That's the way it works in other languages I'm familiar with, so you have to be careful about what you copy and how you use it.

> Anon role should start with nothing and the end user should very explicitly be turning on what unauthenticated users can access.

We agree. We're working on a pathway towards this. Under our original designs we matched all defaults to Postgres' defaults, and with any additions the idea was to "stay out of the way" during development. It's become increasingly important for us to design around security. This will definitely mean more difficult development for newbie developers, but it's an important step forward.

> I’ve been self hosting it for the past couple of months. It is a really nice product

Thanks for the kind words! The credit also belongs to the open source tools we leverage - Postgres, PostgREST, GoTrue, Kong
> Can you uninstall the phone app

You can't uninstall the dialer. As far as I know you can't even lock the dialer down.

> Plus, it's arguably worth risking accidental 911 calls to allow necessary ones

One of my friends kids (about 5) went through a phase where she was fascinated with calling 911. The iPod Touch became the way to handle this, you could hand her the iPod and know she couldn't dial out. Sure an iPad could work, but this girl had siblings and the parents didn't want to have to buy everybody an ipad.
Shocked to see this on HN, but I'm pretty into this right now so it's awesome to see it here.

First off, this needs context. This is a CLI for creating a Metaplex candy machine[0] - a Solana program (smart contract) from which users can mint NFTs. Sugar is a revamped version of their old CLI (not named) that serves the same purpose.

I know HN hates crypto - and NFTs especially. However I have found a lot of joy in learning about current solutions for these use cases, engaging with the Solana NFT communities, and even building my own flavor of something like Sugar for users who won't reasonably use a CLI (check my profile).

Here are some of the interesting problems I've come across in the NFT world which are new to me after an MS in Computer Science and 5+ years as a full stack web developer:

* Where do you host objects that can freely change ownership? Who pays for it? IPFS and Arweave are widely used to solve this problem. They are not perfect.

* How do you launch a "fair mint" when it comes to these NFT launches? The word fair is loosely defined. Some interesting details are:

* How do I make sure everyone has access to the launch at the same time?

* How do I make sure a bot can't claim all the items and crowd out real users? Metaplex recently added a bot tax[1] to mitigate the issue. Dynamic pricing[2] has also been used to remove incentives for bots.

The Metaplex candy machine itself also provides some solutions for "fair mint" like supporting whitelist tokens (allows only users with a specified token to mint) and on-chain captcha[3] functionality.

I acknowledge (but disagree) that this may not be all it's cracked up to be by crypto die-hards. But damn it's fun to tinker around as a builder in this space.

Cool. Thanks for answering.
HEVC/H.265 will be around a lot longer than Plex will be — or you or I will be, for that matter.
Middle-sized companies usually pay dividends because that’s how the profit is moved from the business to the owners. Unlike many public companies that focus on stock growth as the main driver behind of providing shareholder value.
I wonder if they’ll launch something new to fill the gap, or if that gap is just too small for them to decide it’s worth pursuing.

Or maybe they see that as belonging to the iPad mini’s purpose.
For scale:
Building hubble costed 1.5 billion. Yes the most revolutionar telescope in the world was very cheap and with 20 years of scientific and process progress one would expect that cost to goe down or the overall abilities to improve.
James webb costed 10 billion so ~7 distinct hubbles.
You don't need to read further, 20 years of progress and a 7 time higher budget would enable to make a hubble killer (although maybe a downscaled version of the terrestrial planet finder)

The hubble total mission cost was 16 billion (without shuttle).

In my opinion, infrared is pathetic because it reduce the picture colorimetric information to a single float.. A dumb continuum of redshift intensity.
I'm not saying it doesn't has its uses, it sure sounds great for capturing small rocks... But come on.. Why do I have to be the only one furious at the optics stagnation since the 90s and to realize the facts that optics are extremely superior both for Art and for scientific discovery, including but not only exoplanets.

Of course i agree a world with funding for both would be great vs e.g buying twitter but when we have to choose because of artificial democratically voted scarcity, the hubble 2.0 is the painfully obvious rational choice.
The empty promises of better capturing the cosmic background in infrared will quickly fade..
Infrared is noisy, monodimensional, and James webb doesn't cover the relevant spectrum (wtf) unlike herschel. And while herschel was the at the peak, we didn't get any breakthrough art or science discovery out of it. As one should painfully guess, the cosmic background is mostly noise and there's not much to extract from it. The herschel resolution increase didn't reveal any reason to believe a larger scale would make discoveries actionable. If it did, then those should be publicized because I'm not seeing any.
How it would handle conflicts?
The others don't matter as we're talking about GC performance under load. Moving the goal post to benchmarks that don't involve putting the GC under load aren't relevant to the conversation.
