YC Application: Does this qualify as hacking a system?
I know it's late for applications etc, but I was curious if this answer would qualify for the question "Please tell us about the time you most successfully hacked some (non-computer) system to your advantage."

In 2016, before cross-country roaming data was a thing in Europe, I was working on a startup that would offer free wifi to Uber passengers to give them targeted ads to locations in London and products sold by the Driver.

In order to create a network of Uber Drivers that would join my platform, I developed a sort of script:
Every time I would ride in an Uber, I would adress their car (90% of the times, a Prius): "Ah, a Prius, nice car man! It's electric right?" we'd talk about the benefits of EV, then from there to Tesla, then to autopilot and the alledged purchase of a fleet of Teslas by Uber that was in the papers at the time.

This would create a sense of scarcity in the Driver's mind. Soon Uber might turn to self-driving cars and he might be out of a job. That's when I'd start talking about Pablo Escolar, a San Francisco Uber Driver who was making $200'000 selling jewelry to his passengers (I can't make this up, just google it), and the opportunity to do that himself. He could join my platform, put a wifi device in his car and eventually build a self sustaining online store that would be profitable when the robots take over.

With this script I built a network of over 100 Drivers, all ready to join my platform and advertise their products, local attractions and spas.
To play devil’s advocate to the devil’s advocate: I’m not on Facebook for anything. Been this way for so many years I can’t remember when I had an account. It feels like I’m missing exactly nothing. Spent some time recently going out of my way to see people in person. To me, it feels like that’s where it’s at: IRL.
Does it have networking for SSH?
They exist!
My first thought was the same, “ah it’s just a group puzzle like a rubik’s”. In my case, understanding the math doesn’t make up for me being completely useless in solving it.
Ah ha, they wouldn't let you pay and then they blocked you for not paying? Bad scene, man. Part of the whole problem with the Google thing is that they unify payments across all properties but they're rubbish about doing it.

They have a good interface for buying domains, but thanks for this warning.
So basically it's a gas canister filled with hydrogen instead of propane gas (which, by the way, is available almost everywhere at least in the US). It seems that they might have implemented a "quick" swap locking mechanism but that's pretty much it.

What I am wondering is:

1. How is this different than just using H2 canisters that are already available for welding (for example)? I wouldn't want to do a "hot swap" for a gas tank in a car as there are a ton of things that can go wrong, but that's pretty much what these canisters are trying to do anyways.

2. For home use, big propane tanks are already commonly used in places where there is no municipal natural gas line, so why would someone use theses small canisters instead of just installing a big tank for hydrogen outside?

3. Isn't the energy density of H2 way lower than other gases that could be used for automotive purposes? For example, in Europe is common to have after market conversions to propane or natural gas. Both have more energy density than hydrogen, leading to either smaller/lighter tanks and/or higher range with the same volume of gas. I get that hydrogen has the potential to be green with electrolysis (but we are not there yet and most H2 available now is made from hydrocarbons anyways) but it seems to be trying to be solving a problem in a convoluted way and/or mimicking the "electric battery" hot swap technology but for hydrogen without getting complete tech parity with it.
> On further consideration, I realize that if the cost of water exceeds the cost of replacing a toilet, then people working for minimum wage will be properly motivated to find some way to replace their landlord's fixtures with newer models.

I hope you're joking here. This just has to be sarcasm - right?

Replacing your toilet is an investment that pays off over years. How is a minimum wage earner supposed to do that?
The nature of bug fixes, overall quality and DLC have changed dramatically.

In the old days discovery of fixes was often who you knew and the means by which a game studio provided fixes. sometimes it was a BBS, sometimes it was AOL or Compuserve. You might not be able to win or get to the next level because of a bug and not even know it.

Now the games has built in system that grabs fixes/updates right off the internet. Often automatically. Which has lead to games being in some ways poorly constructed and with the idea "we can ship another version later"
Yes, and I think they were just being sarcastic.
So why people (specifically immigrants in other countries) just do not change their last name to ones associated with higher caste?

RTS has always been my preferred competitive genre. Yes, basic build orders are pretty well mapped out. In Starcraft 2, for example, the first 1:30 or so for beginners, the first 3-4 minutes for intermediate players, and the first 8-9 minutes for pros have "standard" build orders.

But once you get past this, there's so many things to worry about - balancing tech versus units versus upgrades versus economy, micro, scouting, unit composition, harassing and defending harass... And then the meta layer, which is allocating your limited time and APM to those decisions and actions! Really challenging and rewarding to improve at, and the only "e-sport" I find interesting to watch.

This is a really good illustration of what sociologist call reification[1] - specifically of gender in this case. What the parent does is confuse their idiosyncratic views with an underlying essentialism in their conceptualization of the universe. It allows people to externalize their thoughts into concepts like reality, human nature, or 'just how things are'. The reason this is a good example is that the author shoots directly at the concept of a 'gender reality' without mincing words. Generally the tactic is to reword personal belief as grounded external knowledge using the copula, but it's an epistemological slight of hand. Like all magic tricks, once you know it it's hard not to unsee it.

Beloved by keyboard players. Not quite so much by performers who generally perform on other instrument designs. MIDI is excellent at representing the performance characteristics of a keyboard, but you really have to warp it quite a bit to represent performance on stringed or wind instruments.
Not OP, but as a fellow Lisp-on-wasm developer one problem is that the current release doesn't support tail call elimination. There's a proposal for it (a tail_call instruction), and Chrome has implemented it, but the Firefox/Spidermonkey team hasn't prioritized it, so it's sat for a couple years. At least two implementations (maybe two browser implementations? I don't recall) are needed for standardization, so things remain.

You know, I wonder how seriously I could be taken if I duck-taped a wasm-capable browser together out of Servo and Wasmtime to make a second implementation and push it forwards...

> Or if not the time mechanic, then needing to take notes? Hollow Knight is maybe the most critically acclaimed indie game of all time and most people play it with a fan wiki open

As the other poster said, plenty of people play Hallow Knight without taking notes. For people who do want notes or use a wiki, it's often for fairly simple things, like trying to remember exactly where a closed door was.

This is quite different from a game like Myst, where most agree note taking is a necessity (I believe the box came with a notebook). For people who haven't played it, imagine 5 or 6 escape rooms linked together, with clues spread throughout, so the first thing you look at in the first room might be something you need to solve a puzzle in the last.

Likewise, the impact of the two games is different. Hollow Knight is a popular indie game, but it's still sold a fraction of the copies that AAA games do. Myst, on the other hand was the top selling computer game for _years_. Often people who never bought any other computer game bought a copy of the game.

Cyan still makes games, but they're niche games that don't have anything like the cultural impact that Myst had.

Likewise, I don't think Majora's Mask should really be compared to games with forward moving time mechanics. It has a time mechanic, but it's basically on a repeating hour schedule. If you miss something, you can just come back to the cycle again.

This is the opposite of games with real time mechanics (time measured in actions - "real action time"?) like The Colonel's Bequest or The Last Express, because the latter games decidedly _don't_ repeat. If you miss an event in the game, it's gone (granted, Titanic isn't quite at that level). Though I suppose such games have always been a bit rare.
Everyone else who rented a flat negotiated 10% off. Your landlord guessed you were lying so altered subsequent planned rent increases to more than make up the difference - because they don’t like you.

It surprises and slightly delights me to see how often people who try to ‘game’ others, queue jumpers, and others who display selfish behaviour are then given special (negative) treatment from those who notice their behaviour.

Some seem to go around thinking that people are awful, but really people are just awful to _them_. People are generally kind and help each other.

I'm kinda "done" with observational studies. It seems like for the last 10 years that's all we get. And every time the studies come out they contradict that last one.

I don't think the method is correct. There is no "energy cost for transaction" in Bitcoin, it's an energy cost per block. And it's a global constant, it doesn't make sense to say that you making 26 transactions a year will be worst for the environment than 1, or 0 for that case.

This is much less doable now than it was some years ago. Amtrak's revenue management has gotten a lot better, and most long distance routes start at the highest bucket pricing, and only drop down into lower buckets if demand sags. Demand is also higher than it was pre-COVID, and I don't think you can predict when buckets will expire.

> It's also a bit weird in that if you know some of the limitations, you can do things like get a sleeper for overnight only (from the stop around 5PM to the stop around 8 AM say) and then get a coach ticket from then on - which if scheduled right would end up being the sleeper for the whole trip as there's no point in resetting the room.

This is also risky, as it depends on the largess of the conductor, who is totally within their rights to kick you out of the sleeper and down into coach at the appropriate time. You also would not get the included meals during your coach segment, and would have to pay for them in the cafe car.

> if you wanted to be risky, and knew the line, you could get a coach ticket and ask the conductor to pay to upgrade on the train - that is the cheapest of all if there is space available as it basically ends up being the cost of the meals

Amtrak has also introduced a pre-train bidding system for empty sleeper car upgrades, so its very rare for a popular train to have empty sleeper car berths that can be purchased from the conductor.

> You could also book "insane trips" that the system wouldn't let you do but were perfectly doable, because it wouldn't correctly recognize that you could make the layover, etc.

Making any Amtrak trip dependent on tight layovers is a mistake, in my opinion; multi-hour train delays are somewhat common, and unless you are booked on a single ticket, Amtrak will not hold a train for you, nor will they reschedule you on a future train if you miss your "connection" between two separately ticketed trains due to their delay. My advice has always been to put an hotel overnight between any connection involving two unrelated trains; it makes your whole trip a lot less stressful.
I think you are thinking about cartridge games vs today's BluRay / Downloadable. CD-ROM Games circa 1997 had a ton of content. Look at games of that era such as Blade Runner, Zork Nemesis, Wing Commander IV various Sierra Games all had tons of art, music and live acting that would make them very expensive games to develop.
Why would you presume that?

I have a service that beats epoll with io_uring (it reads gre packets from one socket, and does some lookups/munging on the inner packet and re-encaps them to a different mechanism and writes them back to a different socket). General usage for io_uring vs epoll is pretty comparable IIUC. It wouldn't surprise me if streams (e.g. tcp) end up being faster via io_uring and buffer registration though.

Totally tangential - it looks like io_uring is evolving beyond just io and into an alternate syscall interface, which is pretty neat imho.

That's because 99% of the time when a study says "we found an effect in Y even after we controlled for X" it just means that they included X in their multi-variate regression and error analysis in their study of Y. "controlled for" sounds like it has something to do with ruling out the effect of something from causality, but it doesn't.

Sorry to hear, and good warning for anyone still relying on Google for anything critical really (business or personal).

The moral here I'd say is transfer any service you have with a company that doesn't even have the possibility of customer-service, with everything running with crappy ml models (that get them probably around 40% accuracy and product managers are fighting about how/who can fix it, or even if they should).

Leave any company that has automated customer service with AI.

That's fine with me. I suppose if other arthropods are already legally classified as fish then it's not much of a leap.

Not sure what impact bees have on aquatic ecosystems though - I was able to google something about potential pollination of a few aquatic plants - but that seems very minimal. The terrestrial mollusk they mention, the Trinity Bristle Snail [1] is found along river ecosystems and would presumably have more of an impact on those aquatic ecosystems.

But if a loophole is needed to protect the bees then it's probably a good idea.

> I don't think it's questioning anyone's competence to suggest that a single scientific result might have confounding factors

Honestly - I do. Basic competence in creating a study would definitely include identifying confounding factors that are directly relevant to the study being conducted. It's a basic part of the scientific method - both in creating the hypothesis and creating a test against that hypothesis.

Nah, it's a brand of tuna.
What if someone has consistently criticized other people or governments for comparable behavior? In my experience, it makes absolutely no difference. Even international organizations with rock-solid records of speaking out all over the world get the same treatment. What's the excuse then? It's just guilt by association, only it's not even real association, from people who absolutely should know better.
Sure but you have to go to Walmart.

Show us an example of a good faith argument that earned a ban.
Anything registered with Google seems like such a risk nowadays.

A friend’s business site which I help with got removed from Google Business without warning or any known reason 2 weeks ago(they’ve been listed for over 2 years with no changes to the listing in that time). The company already lost over 50% of their regular leads during their normal peak time(it’s a junk hauling business) since their business page accounted for most of their organic searches. Even though Google states an appeal response normally takes 3 days, they haven’t heard anything for going on 2 weeks now.

This whole ordeal led me to begin forwarding all my existing emails to my own custom domain on Fastmail since seeing the result of these arbitrary bans firsthand really drove home the risk you take when using Google services. Unfortunately for my friend’s business, they really have no other options to get as much exposure for their business as a Google business listing provides.
