> This is true, but very, very few bikes ever get the kind of miles put on them to wear out a chain.

I suspect that is changing with e-bikes which are used for actual daily commuting. People buy those things to ride them.

In my experience, daily commuting of around 20 km on a non-powered ordinary bike all year round requires a yearly chain replacement. You can get away with a once per two years cassette job.

Now these e-bikes have serious torque and power. You regularly see them keeping up with cars going 50 km/h or more, even uphill. Yet may use use ordinary drive trains, such as entry-level Shimano cassettes, derailleurs and rings. The power of the motor can easily be expected to trash these components way faster than a human power.

> In the extraordinarily unlikely case that somebody manages to wear out the chain on a cheap bike, they're almost certainly as well off just buying a new cheap bike.

This is false, because chains cost something like $15-$30. Cheap chains and drive sets are still found on entry-level real bikes that might go for $600-$800 or whatever. You're not going to replace an $800 bike because of the chain.

It wouldn't make sense to replace even a $100 bike-shaped-object if all it needs is a $15 chain. There was a time when I rode crap bikes; I still maintained them, and replaced the chain.

> I've broken and replaced spokes. It's pretty rare.

During my daily cycling era when I didn't have a car for some 8 years, I fixed about 3 broken spokes per year. Almost always on the drive side of the rear wheel. So while rarer than a flat tire, it's not that rare.

I had no time for bike shops. They are too far away and have stupid hours like not opening until 10:30 on a weekday, and being closed Sundays. They will keep your bike for at least a day, and charge some ridiculous amount to change a part that costs a dollar.

Truing a wheel is not difficult (particularly lateral-only truing), and once you go to disc brakes, perfection is less important. The bike can even be ridden for a few days with a broken spoke: you just have to clip it off, because you don't want a broken spoke flailing around. It's not a great idea to ride a wheel with a broken spoke, but lets you schedule a good time to fix it, if you're busy

What I'd pay a shop to do would be axial truing: fixing the eccentricity of the wheel's circle. I asume that if I tell a shop to true a wheel, they are only going to care about left-right wobble, which "anyone" can do.

That really only seems to be true when you allow unchecked mergers and acquisitions, because once you've eliminated competition continuing to grow the market through innovation is almost impossible.

Despite my handle I'd wager that it all comes down to a very risk averse society as shown by pretty much every metric ranging from low birth rate to drinking to smoking to drug usage etc.

Back in the days when interest rates went down, people started new businesses or expanded those they already owned at a huge pace. I mean the population as a whole not the businesses in the S&P500.

When the Fed rolled rates to zero and did QE post 2008 and super QE in 2020-2021 the population just invested in the stock and housing market. No initiative just buying "proven assets" .

Investing in the stock market with a financial advisor essentially buying the S&P or some other mutual fund..that's way less risky than starting your own business.

Now the Fed is raising rates and people (and financial advisors) aren't even sure about stocks anymore, they are selling in droves and go straight to US bonds which are even more risk averse (it's essentially the stuff that Insurance companies are required to hold by law to secure their premiums because the risk of default of US Federal govt is essentially zero)

Of course there is crypto that is a casino, still it could be argued that investing in an asset with a marketcap of 1T dollar however new and unproven is still more risk averse than starting your own business.

It doesn't matter what twitter has internally, they have no fiscal duty to report what percentage of users are or are not fully human driven.

It's the buyer's responsibility to undergo due diligence before making serious, legally-binding offers. Musk is very clearly scraping for excuses now that he has buyer's remorse.
Mildly better is being kind to Reserve California. Florida saw what CA did and decided to follow in their footsteps, and now this new setup is the standard consolidated solution?!?
Not assuming that at all. I'm saying that if the appraisal doesn't go through, then the lender won't cover the remainder of the purchase price, and then the buyer will have to make up the difference out of his/her own pocket. At that point, I'd bail, because the appraiser is raising a red flag.

But since you mention it, in the slower market being discussed here, I would definitely not waive an appraisal contingency.

I feel like this is only true in irrational housing markets, or at least those that have a chronic undersupply of housing .

> I like how you try to extricate getting to Mars as it’s own thing despite the industrial effort to do so exacerbating climate problems that are political problems.

If humanity doesn't spend the resources on spreading humanity throughout the universe, then the resources will be spent on disposable plastic toys that fill landfills. It's not as if an edenic utopia is being despoiled for this boondoggle. Our environment isn't in its precarious state because of too much space travel. We're debating over the disposition of a tiny fraction of our dwindling material resources, negligible in the grand scheme.

If we have a limited period before climate doomsday, then we'd better get cracking on space travel before it's too late.
Ok— Figma is a browser-based SaaS design and vector graphics creation tool— a large chunk of commercially-used vector graphics are made using Figma right now. Figma isn't a service because the end-user doesn't touch it?

Where you're drawing the line between a service and tool is an artifact of your perspective. Whether someone further along in the cycle must push a button to trigger some part of that process or if the code is executed on your local machine, a docker instance on your machine, a docker instance on a server, or wherever else is an implementation detail.

> I would have saved myself a bunch of losses if I had done it when I was thinking about it.

Or, alternatively, you might have cashed out when you thought you should, then completely missed the bottom trying to time it, then sat on cash for years, watching it lose value to inflation anyway.
The company kind of sounds like “Mechanical Turk for checking AI decisions” so I’m assuming “surgers” are people being paid those kinds of rates for small tasks. Which is definitely less than I charge for art.
The offered price to buy Twitter is ~220 times its net annual cash flow? Something about that does not compute.

> quiescent current which ensures for the internal circuitry to work properly depends on the ambient temperature.

This statement seems to get the relationship between quiescent current and the operation of internal circuitry backwards.

Quiescent current doesn’t power the internal circuitry. Quiescent current is a measure of current consumed by the internal circuitry while it’s idle.

The temperature relationship exists because the circuitry consumes more power when it hot. But there isn’t some temperature dependent magically quiescent current provider that must work correctly for the rest of circuitry to operate. Just like there isn’t a “standby power provider” inside of a TV to allow it to remain in standby. The standby power is just a measure of the power consumed while in standby.
Have to admit, wherever i see people much younger than me do great things I get very depressed.
> This is unethical negotiating.

It's only unethical negotiating if the Twitter board hasn't put out inflated DAU numbers. Maybe the sudden firing of Kayvon Beykpour and Bruce Falck has raised some new suspicions about this question in Musk's mind?

> If you make a bid, you better look beforehand, what you're bidding on.

Well, looks like he did, but now questions whether what he was shown was actually truthful, no?

> If your bidding has an effect on someone, you better be careful with it.

So there are two times two possibilities: Musk genuinely has doubts about the DAU metric he hasn't had before in the force or he hasn't. Similarly there are two possibilities about the accuracy of the DAU metrics: they are within an excusable distance of the truth or they aren't. Assuming they aren't, regardless of Musk's true motives, why would Twitter deserve to be shielded from the fallout?

Show HN: Launched NFT auction protocol, listings start 99% below floor price
Just launched NFT Deals, an auction site for premium NFTs, starting at 99% below floor price with no reserve.

This is made possible because the auction’s smart contract takes a fee from each bid – not just the winning bid.

The cumulative fees can earn sellers more than the floor price, while the winning bidder gets a huge flip opportunity on the NFT.

Whoever holds the “top bid” position for 24 hours will win the NFT – easier said than done because each bid extends the timer by 24 hours.

Would love to get your questions, critiques, concerns, and feedback.

If you want to participate in the first auction, go here https://app.nftdeals.xyz/auction2/0xf2c50dA3C1462873d8604a2E9Dc92FcC6f80924a (you'll need Wrapped ETH).

Well, sqllite is almost as valuable as a FILE FORMAT as it would be as an application, if the "store config as sqllite" crowd would contend.

I think you just have to bite the bullet and document what you have. Start with the high-level view from different perspectives. Some call it different architectural views, like block diagrams and data flows. Focus on diagrams and a little bit of text, unless you really want to write more, but just a little bit can be good enough. Take this through a few iterations and it has to be both correct, simple and easy to understand.

Now you hopefully have a good block diagram and then you can attack every component in it in the same way.

This is the basic view where you really haven't explained any use case or at least not directly from the perspective of the use case. You've just explained the building blocks. Like with a car you would say it has 4 wheels, a trunk, some seats, a steering wheel, and so on, but even without describing what the hell you do with all of this, people still can get the point.

However, you can if you want to, get into more dynamic behaviours as well, often with sequence diagrams.

Especially on the lower levels perhaps flow charts start to make sense, but you are starting to get more into implementation design here than architecture.

Forget about fancy tools. This is creative work just like programming. Use something basic. Visio, OmniGraffle, Miro, Dia, ...? Or something automated if you prefer.

From my experience working on projects where we trained models, usually it’s obviously completely broken the first attempt and requires a lot of iteration to get to a decent state. “Trust the AI” is not a phrase anyone involved would utter. It’s more like: trust that it is wrong for any edge case we didn’t discover yet. Can we constrain the possibility space any more?

Most jobs that involve typing benefit from being able to type quickly.

For example, I am a frequent customer of U-Haul. I learned to not use the branch that’s closest to me, because some employees there are really slow with computers, which makes checking out equipment very slow, and frequently results in a long line of waiting customers. Driving 5 extra minutes saves me 20 minutes of waiting for employees to type in everything and click through the system.

And this is freaking uhaul. If you’re a software engineer, slow typing is also a productivity drain: a 3 minutes email becomes 6 minutes one, a 20 minutes slack conversation becomes 30 minutes etc. It all adds up.
