The server isn't necessarily ruined, but if you're a min/max type of player you'd certainly be upset at not having the chance at some of the drops. On actual EverQuest servers this wasn't that big of a deal as the next expansion with better items came shortly after, on Project 1999 this is a much bigger problem.
Indeed. I also have no doubt some early adopters got real rich. But they were the top of the pyramid. The merry go round plays as long people keep joining. Looks like we hit some sort of limit at the bottom of the pyramid.

Now they might find some new investors, but it will only delay the inevitable.
> __completely__ insane.

It isn't completely insane.

First off, it isn't irrational to allocate an excessive amount of capital to sustainability. The meme that this level of provision is short-sighted is myopic to the extreme, because obviously over the long term it is failure to be sustainable, not being sustainable, which is myopic. Perhaps it is overvalued, but calling it completely insane goes a bit too far.

Second, you are obviously right that the present value of their assets doesn't justify their current price, but it is hubris to try and claim that their is no future in which their revenues can justify their increased valuation. Think ahead to the future while skipping the steps to get there and we are obviously incredibly likely to exist in a world in which AI and automated labor is commonplace, in which energy is provided through renewable means, and in which transport from point to point is handled by electric vehicles. It is not __completely insane__ to think Tesla might play a large role in this future. It is quite reasonable to expect they would. Their present course has them explicitly targeting playing a very large role in that sort of future. They have been making progress and inroads in playing that role. They are on track to play that role and can play it if they execute successfully. Whether they do, that is another question, but whether the potential exists? It certainly seems to exist.

A lot of times people point at automakers when they try to justify calling Tesla overvalued. The idea that Tesla wouldn't be larger than that industry is silly. That industry spent billions on building out manufacturing capabilities. They took on debt in order to create products which the market doesn't believe will be viable in the future. The projected value of those companies has to account for that and obviously they aren't going to be valued as highly as they might be if they weren't burdened with those liabilities. Perhaps you don't know this, but a few years back legacy automakers were struggling with dealers who would intentionally sabotage the ability to sell electric vehicles by giving test drives in vehicles which were intentionally left without charge. Perhaps you don't know this, but dealers have laws in place to protect them from car companies which force legacy car companies to use them despite the way the perverse incentives could spell the death of the ICE auto industry. There are real structural reasons to value these companies as being less able than Tesla to flourish. Thinking this is the case isn't completely insane.
It's on free fall.
Btw I just did an overview of the current EV market and there isn't even one car maker that is able to make them under ~35K$
VW and a few others will sell in huge volume next year (VW 1.2 million in 2023 actually, much more than tesla) but I see currently no validation from the car makers that they will reduce the costs. The main bottleneck is apparently the price of the materials and I don't see why they would get lower considering demand is exploding.
That's why I studied the hydrogen market and it looks like a lot of hydrogen cars are coming in the next two years, they will have greater range than EV and to be seen but are likely to be cheaper to significantly cheaper.
It's true that the availability of hydrogen is an issue but it will progressively be solved, California is already covered for example.
So yeah current bet is the démocratisation of carbon neutral cars in massive volume will be via hydrogen, unless EV materials price find a solution.

This market is so wild. The big techs are making so much money yet the market is in turmoil if you simply remove the big four (Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon). There are some great “value” if you look hard enough. People are quick to draw parallel to dotcom, but this one is quite different in so many ways.
Ask HN: Venture Studio Model vs. Y Combinator
Hi all, I realize the answers here may be biased (we are after all on Hacker News).

I recently fielded an offer from an unnamed Venture Studio.

For those unfamiliar a Venture Studio model is like an accelerator with these key differences (feel free to ignore my summary and also Google this):
- The startup idea comes from a pool of researched / vetted startup ideas from the studio. They purportedly will have highlighted things / products they believe have good potential for product market fit
- The venture studio may match you with a cofounder after vetting similar interests backgrounds etc (so a slightly more filtered version of founder dating going on here)
- The studio will generally provide more capital than an accelerator for a bigger portion of the pie (given they are providing the idea, the network, and capital out of the gate)

In this particular example (have fudged the numbers within a certain range so as to not out anyone in particular) the studio offers the following:
- Idea, network for cofounder
- Starting salary in the 100-150k range
- Seed funding round in the ~1m dollar range

In return cofounders get ~25-36% of the startup (so about 12-18% each) post seed round funding.

Now obviously you are losing a lot of equity compared to if you had raised this seed money yourself, but the promise is of some degree of mitigated risk and guaranteed funding at the outset to build a team with.

Would love to hear from anyone that has experiences with this model and what the pros/cons might be compared to joining a place like YC (Techstars, 500 Startups etc)
Only 8 days late, but I have an implementation of this in PyScript as well: https://jeff.glass/project/the-7-guis-pyscript/
I work at a place where we have trouble finding candidates. It's hard to find a good candidate, but sometimes we find someone we really like but they don't have a lot of experience, and sometimes we find someone we really like and they're very experienced. Both can come trough the same job opening, but we'll offer them different salaries for obvious reasons. Their "level" inside the company will be different once they join.
Musk is Christ is the hottest take I’ve seen in this thread so far, thanks!
This domain doesn't resolve for me. A shame, because it sounds very interesting!
More is expected, though:

> More rate rises are expected. The Economist Intelligence Unit expects the Fed to raise rates seven times in 2022, reaching 2.9% in early 2023.

(The Guardian)
Everything has a disparate impact, so now everything is illegal.
> Delaware courts have almost never found an MAE

Musk would win the lawsuit because of cult of personality momentum.

Judges call him "Elon" up in Delaware when writing their motivations. Not Elon Musk, not Elon Reeve Musk. Just Elon.

He should have gone down for Solarcity, Funding Secured, Pedo Guy and a millions of other violations.

But "when you are a star they let you do it". It's also true for securities violations, breach of contracts, etc.
The internet of things is just a rehash of ubiquitous computing an idea that was around in 198X already.
> But there's also the question: will Twitter's board really go to court to force Musk to buy it at $54.20? There's also the question of politics here. Even if Twitter's board is in the legal-right to do so, forcing Musk to become the new owner is bad politics.

Is there some kind of politics more important for corporate decision making than claiming the $20bn or so you're entitled to by contract?
Yes, thank you. Ordered -70db MoCA point-of-entry filter for $5.
> Also, I haven't seen a single "promising" startup actually be profitable, except those ones made without major funding.

The whole point of VC is cash to be unprofitable. Grow faster by overspending today.
Yes he just wants an excuse to exit the deal because Tesla’s stock is tanking.
> I'm not sure where you are getting those numbers from. Ford had $37b in revenue Q4. Tesla had $16b.

Tesla makes a 27.4% gross margin on that revenue though, while Ford has a gross margin of 4.8%.

> Tesla is an impressive company that's managed to finally be profitable.

Although technically true, this is a little misleading as it implies that Tesla is barely profitable - in reality they have moved from 'finally becoming profitable' to now being the most profitable automaker (in terms of total profit).

Something is very wrong with your bike if you are frequently "trashing" your gears. I've been riding bikes for 30 years and have never had to walk due to drivetrain failure.

As long as the drivetrain is set up well initially, a traditional bike will go many thousands of miles on pretty minimal maintenance.
This isn't really true for the same reason that GDP per capita isn't a constant number.

Oh, does Russia have air superiority now? I hadn't read that.

Logistically they are losing? So the Russians fled Kyiv not due to logistics problems?

Is it true Ukraine is shelling Russian bases in Russia now?

From a strategic position, and that's what logistics is over a war, Russia is almost guaranteed to lose the logistics war.

Because the first pillar of logistics is funding/money/finance.

The West can afford to arm Ukraine in perpetuity, while Russia cannot wage this war forever. They can't even afford to wage it for a half a year I would guess.

Ukraine will only get more experienced, better equipped, and train more soldiers. The West will greenlight more and more weapons systems.

Strategically from the West's standpoint, this is THE opportunity to neuter Putin and Russia. To bring them to their knees of their own stubbornness, delusions, and stupidity. Even a fractured US Senate can recognize the common goal of supplying Ukraine with arms. All they have to do is provide a fraction of the US military budget, greenlight arms shipments to arms makers, and get a metric fuckton of usable intelligence, weapons testing, and tactical information for modern drone warfare.

Ukraine is 44 million people. Russia is 144 million people.

44 Million defenders + Western funding vs 144 million people (the vast majority not invading) and bankruptcy.
I don't think it's housing. It's just that the market had a boom during the bored pandemic times and now that that is over (except in china) the market is readjusting. The market is highly leveraged by psychology over the short term, but in the end even the most exuberant people have to face reality and tighten their belt. Housing will flat line or decrease now as well, since people realize the cost of mortgages is too damn high. Also with lumber and other prices falling that will help new home builds. If Russia ever stops the attempted genocide of Ukraine then markets will probably soar as gas prices come back down instead of increasing.
This issue is that the audience of HN isn't limited to industry veterans.
I'd love to see some of that research / documentation if you have it and willing to share. I've haphazardly done the same but without much organizing. I'd be willing to contribute / organize.

The number of pre-1914 water rights (when california started doing water rights for all use) is very small, and any increase in use requires an new modern right regardless. They're not really relevant.

Post-1914 and non-riparian water rights are not "private property", they're leases. They're not just valid forever and the fifth amendment doesn't mean they're immune to modification.

When I meet people from other countries I like to ask about the weather where they are from.

Two of the best places I've heard of that sound nice coming from people who are form there.

Monaco/Nice France. Summer can be quite warm but not winters are moderate about 15C (which to them was a cold winter). Really anywhere on the shores of the Mediterranean would be nice.

The other is Kigali, Rwanda I asked someone what it was like they said summer about 26C and winter about 15C - very stable, very little variation.

For both of those places no hurricanes, tornadoes, no snow, no wild temperature changes.

There are. It happens when you hit high level of product market fit with a lean team and don’t go on a massive hiring spree after but keep growing the team at a measured pace.

I think Github, Notion, Retool, Slack, probably Figma, hit revenues quite quickly as they launched and became profitable or at least close to breakeven.
Earnings are profit (i.e. revenue less costs).

>It has tomatoes in it for one.

As does Butter Chicken which was invented in a restaurant in Delhi at least 10 years before CTM's appearance in Britain. Butter Chicken and CTM are 99.9% the same dish. So again, I ask, where exactly is the "fusion" in CTM?

The Portuguese arrived in India in 1498 and brought tomatoes with them. It was used in Indian cooking for centuries before the invention of the CTM. Our recipes did not have to travel to Britain for them to have tomatoes.

SMH. You guys have absolutely no idea how infuriating this is. Trying to teach me about my culture as if you know anything about it.
Well the problem is your access point, not a vague 'wireless'. I can max out my internet connection through a couple walls. And while I had to get my own AP, I would have had to get my own cable if I wasn't doing wireless. They didn't include any that can reach between rooms.

It's pretty nifty, I got mine a few weeks ago. I'm not sure it was worth waiting 2 years, but their team has been very transparent about their hardships and I've learned about manufacturing at scale from their updates. I do wish they let their devs spend more time on the tamagotchi side to liven it up some(although the whole software interface could use some more work too - they're still pre-v1 firmware)
No they are not, though it's easy to understand the confusion. From the SF Feds website:

The Board of Governors—Located in Washington, D.C., Board members are appointed by the U.S. President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Board members and staff are civil service employees.
The 12 regional Reserve Banks—Located around the country, the 12 Federal Reserve Banks are chartered as private corporations. Employees are not civil service.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)—Composed of the Federal Reserve Governors and the Federal Reserve Bank presidents, the FOMC is charged with conducting monetary policy.
Plus the default is to launch a different instance of the compiler for every .c/.cpp file, so that state has to be written out to disk and reread by the next one.

If I ever did another C or C++ project (which would probably only be at gun–point), I would go the opposite route and have only a single compilation unit. I would have a single primary source file that included all of the others, and none of the others would include anything. Then I could run the compiler a single time on just that one file and it would be as fast and as simple as possible. Well, I don’t know of any C or C++ compilers that can spread their work over multiple cpus (since we usually just run multiple instances simultaneously with make -j), but other than that it would be as fast as possible.

> As someone with just cash compensation, what can I do in this downturn to make a lot of money in the stock market? Maybe I just stick with the old boring Apple.

Depends on your risk. You can buy TQQQ or do HFEA as examples.
If you dont mind the risk you can short. Can earn a lot of money but you have to get a habbit of constantly following the market.
> If it refines its ontology through critical productive analysis that makes it "see details" then it may be an intelligence, while if it outputs mockeries it is /the opposite/ of intelligence.

To help me understand your definition well enough, how could I prove to you whether my Cousin Sarah is intelligent?

I have some experience in this field, and even I have no idea what you mean by "refining your ontology through critical productive analysis."

In practice, what's an example of that? What could someone (an actual person) do, to demonstrate that to you?

The Turing Test is a well-understood example.

How could we formalize your test?

I also don't understand what evidence I could possibly give you that something /is/ something, rather than something /looks like/ something. What's the measurable difference between /looking like/ and /being/?
Find me a road bike with an electric motor.
All I can say is I wholeheartedly disagree. It has some pragmatic utility in replacing stale, antiquated ideologies, but the costs vastly outweigh the benefits, and there are always future solutions that can help retain such things to a degree: e.g. you can no longer vote or run for office if you're above the age of 110, or whatever.
what on earth are you talking about lol
Yeah. I guess what I didn’t want to imply is we can’t be upset with their behavior. It’s okay to take serious issues with said behavior. It’s even okay to call out bad behavior

And yeah… the pedo guy thing was completely uncalled for.

> TI CC1101, the chip powering the Sub-Ghz feature, is in extreme shortage. To date, the supplier has shipped just a fraction of our initial order. The same situation is with our LED driver — TI LP5562. To overcome this we have to purchase these components on the spot-buy market at a much, much higher price (3-5x for CC1101 and 20-30x for LP5562)
It is a bit of an aside, but not only do I find it interesting that 1) this issue is approaching an interesting nexus of computer based efficiency and human "adjustments" (I will just call them) like the ADA that are intentionally and even deliberately inefficient; and 2) that the efficiency and centralization based sector of computer "sciences"/development is so replete with extremely contrary types that demand all manner of exceptions, exemptions, and make special pleadings.

I find it all very interestingly paradoxical, regardless of everything else.

> We need bureaucracies that can be evaluated on efficiency in performance to mission.

That implies that there's broad agreement on a) the mission of various government agencies, and b) the desirability of the mission or even the agency. There are large subsets of the American population that question the desirability and disagree about the mission of the ATF, DEA, INS, CIA, FBI, and several other agencies. Electing and appointing people who are good at accomplishing those missions is not enough to satisfy many Americans.

I think this is part of the issue, but we may disagree about the magnitude. As a counterpoint, "Retirees" are the second largest political donors behind the financial system and yet the retirement system is perpetually in peril.

My comment about our "wiring" is about how we are bad at estimating risks. We likely evolved to think causally rather than statistically and, when coupled with highly emotional risks, it tends to skew the accuracy of risk assessments. Climate change is not as emotionally charged as, say, terrorist attacks so it will tend to get lower priority in an individual's mind.
Thank you for your response and perspective. I didn't consider the various toolchains and environments from this POV. Your points make sense and are very helpful.
