Okay granted it's a hard problem. It's a two-dimensional elevator scheduling problem with stochastic servers as well as stochastic customers.

But does that really justify 30 thousand employees?
If I were ever going to blog I’d do something like this with Cloudflare perhaps in front:

https://docs.replit.com/tutorials/build-host-company-blog-on...

Love the idea of just using Replit or similar web-based/cloud editor/IDE to create the content. And I also like the idea of having Replit control/host the content/files whilst also pushed to a GH repo.

So far I’ve been too lazy to attempt it though. Have just had that tab open in my browser for months as a reminder/todo to friggin do it but hasn’t happened yet..
Yeah I agree with that. Uber Eats is really hurting their business by requiring drivers to buy the hot bags, assuming they're still doing that.
Revenue != Profit. I really doubt they're doing anything beyond paying to keep the lights on.
Is the idea you have to run your own site first. If the idea is you can convert followers and engagement from a big platform to your own, then you should be able to do it after you have a large following on a platform as well.

That way you can find a content market fit using a big platform then move people over and monetize.

There are clearly a couple issues with this now. Is the main problem here not having a host your own version of all the mediums creators use to get an audience? Ghost solves this for blogging, but I don't know anything for tik tok or Instagram or twitch.

Or is there a reason you couldn't move over a lot of audience late in the game? And if not, why not/would the reasons you can't stop you from building an audience in the first place?
Depends on the criticality of your product. I used to work for Duo and testing in production would be a nightmare there. Deploy a bug and doctors are unable to authenticate. That said, the vast majority of products aren't that critical
There are no companies where union values are desired by management, and there are no companies where ethnic minorities are free from discrimination (although there's always nepotism, but that's hardly a sustainable economic practice.)

I thought it was common knowledge that "all gigs have a rigid culture they're selecting for." I am confused and surprised by your assertion that the status quo is otherwise.

Again, "finding a role that matches who you are" is easier said than done for most people on earth. Perhaps you've lucked into a privileged identity in a region of relatively greater social mobility. (I certainly have, but not without limit, and that is why I dare not risk "bringing my whole self to work" and must, instead, compromise. But, then again, why should we tolerate "whole selves" at work? If you've an obsessive penchant for matchbox cars — frankly, you can leave that at home as far as I'm concerned.)
You can do all of this with a smartphone, though. There are plenty of offline music apps for smartphones. There are plenty of phones (and headphones) with physical buttons to control music.

My main criticism is that this is all redundant hardware with basically no unique capabilities.

Even if the DAC is extra special, that’s something you can get on a phone via USB.
Somehow? How? Do you know how IPFS works? They can't take down torrents either.

But we were talking about filecoin raking something down from ipfs. They can't do it.
Goodbye, frying pan. Hello, fire.
Right, but every additional sales channel is also work, and so the sales need to be large enough to actually justify doing this.

If they're not, in a world where some mix of users and restaurants get charged the true costs of delivery service, then you're left with a service that gets people to order things for you, which is basically just Postmates, and they're also not doing hot.
I once read that our brain is an advanced system on top of the lizard brain.

The lizard brain has 2 reactions in a lot of cases:

- Run

- React

I think in abnormal/sudden situations, this is still the case.
Qts design supports many window targets and they're not going to desupport one with millions of users.
I would guess that restaurants would get bigger checks on higher margin (less effort to cook) items in-person due to drinks and appetizers.
What’s better about a small dedicated player compared to using an offline media jukebox app?

Smartphones can play offline media. They can play media hosted on a private server. Nobody’s forcing any smartphone user to use Spotify in particular. There’s always alternatives like VLC and countless others that offer that same functionality.

To me, a dedicated player is redundant hardware with less processing power and refinement than a typical smartphone.

Even Apple, king of the locked down proprietary experience, has a Music app with the option to completely disable and hide their streaming service from even being visible. You can sync music via a USB cable or WiFi from local files just like it was an original iPod.

> Do you think the app would work well as is on the iPad if we added free drawing with the pencil in the notebook?

I'm not a frontend mobile developer, so definitely not entirely qualified to comment, but it doesn't open in Safari (MacOS or iPadOS). That said, I did try uploading Watson and Crick's paper on DNA and it seems to upload but won't open (hangs on 0%) in both MacOS Firefox and MacOS Chrome (both downloaded fresh today). I also tried opening the MacOS app on a computer with MDM controls and it was blocked (need a valid signature on your dmg).

Ginger Labs (publisher of Notability) has dozens of employees and has been in operation for 14 years, so it's a bit unfair to compare, but I definitely like the idea of have a Google Docs style wide margin to play in. Something like MathPad for LaTeX would be nice as well. Lots of asks, I know.
That's a pretty funny strategy. Considering how smart my date was, I'm sure she was also aware enough to know the whole "kids now" thing might scare me off and said it anyway, in line with whatever her dating game theory was.
I suspect it also means our unit economics are several orders of magnitude better than Uber's.

They may also be the ones wanting to do the reading regardless.

Well Lyft runs the bikeshare system here which I use a lot so hopefully they don't go out of business too soon... (I almost never use ride share...)
I had to return one of these because the connectivity was abysmal. The second one feels about average, no more complaints.

I have a feeling that some of these may have assembly or hardware defects, and only kinda sort of work. The difference between my two phones is very pronounced.
They do, these days.

But then why were you asking "how" a device could have a permanent hardware identifier with its address? Just don't implement those optional RFCs.

And the comment you were replying to didn't say it had to be the entire address, and there's no reason for it to be.
Me too. Took a cab from JFK to NJ for $85. $120 for Lyft $140 for Uber. Prices eventually came down to $105 and $115 by the time I took the cab, but still.

The problem with using HTML in this way is that it couples the view with your data. What happens when non-browser clients (e.g. mobile, other servers) need to easily consume the same API?

I know some projects plan to only ever use browser clients, so this may seem irrelevant for them. But I'd rather not try to predict how a business will want to use it's data in the future, and would prefer to design a backend that can be adapted to many scenarios without being bound to a particular client.
Why aren't you allowed to see the results?

I search, see the results, and then click on a result to view the applicable contents of a particular book. In the contents that get displayed, the search term I had entered is highlighted.
No one would make money off of it. That is the point. There are innumerable things which are worthwhile which are not profitable.

The idea that we do not do a world library of free digital copies of every book ever written really highlights the problem with the thinking your comment has demonstrated. The idea that individual pursuits must make a profit to be justified leads to us doing terrible things like: not making a free world library of every book.

Though in this particular case this also demonstrates a major problem with intellectual property concepts. Actually hosting the library isn't very expensive. But we have made doing so illegal. Of course, authors deserve to live a decent life just like everyone else. We currently do that by restricting all access to duplications of information they have produced so that they can charge a fee for access, and that fee provides for their survival.

But we suffer an incalculable loss by making all this information restricted. In my view we would be MUCH better off as a society with respect to creativity, innovation, and other popular metrics for progress, if we actually made sure as a society that every person's survival was provided for with no need for them to pay for it. Then authors wouldn't need to get paid, engineers could do what they love to do and post all their work as open source, and we could have a free library for everyone. This extreme openness would in my mind lead to more rapid innovation, and markets would still function as first movers would maintain an advantage for new product releases, though they would have to keep moving as anything they've done that is worthwhile would be copied. But since no one's livelihood would be at stake, this is not a real issue.

This can all be done in a voluntary, libertarian society as long as we have community ownership of the means of production, and promote these ideals of community support in this society. And I think we would be way better off. Doing this would allow us to offer every book ever recorded for free to every person on Earth. A big change, but one with obviously a very big benefit to humanity.

One note though: people who want to own a lot for themselves really mess this up. So people would need to dissuade those people from acting that way. My preferred method of doing so is by starving them of workers and customers, though when it comes to control of land matters get more serious.
The phrase “overpolicing” used to refer to wealthy, low crime suburbs that spent insane amounts of money on police.

There was a study on this, and California is one of the worst offenders. There a rich hamlets with not crimes to speak of that hire retired FBI agents and Navy Seals to issue parking tickets.

This is a great example: https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-framed/#chapter1
That site is just smaller side projects - in my paid work I do maintain large apps with dozens of screens, modals, workflows, complex state etc. It's not necessarily trivial, you have to think through your design approaches, but JS is a Turing complete language after all, with all the elements you need to build abstractions to fit your task. I haven't personally found virtual DOM to be a win in my projects (I've experimented plenty with react). Things have always been more performant and simpler without it, and the dev experience is much nicer and simpler and easier to debug without a build step.

Of course my projects don't represent everybody's, but I've done a wide variety of them so I'm not speaking from some esoteric niche viewpoint either. There's a certain stockholm syndrome with these tools where people assume they'd be much worse off without them, without actually trying it out.
If that's the case, then it should be illegal for companies to sell devices that have issues that can be exploited in them.
I will bet 10$ that with reverse DNS + DPI to try to suss out page size and caching behaviour you can identify anyone accessing this website and downloading the 7TB database.
I don't see the point anymore. Lots of torrent software allows sequential downloads, so I can play them as they are downloaded, assuming the download speed is faster than the length of the video, in a video player of my choice. Usually though when I decide to watch something I pick it for that night, add it and watch it when I'm ready, so streaming is not really a problem I need solved.
I wouldn't be surprised if the people doing product reviews managed to not hit this scenario often enough for it to show up in a review. The average reviewer may not be running special software to figure out what their signal level and mode are when outdoors.

Could also be specific to the type of modem being used or specific frequency band for the article author (who is in France, I think?) vs reviewers who might be in the US or UK or etc.

Personally I've had very bad experiences with quality control on Google phone handsets. Every single one I've owned had various problems that wouldn't make it past QC at other manufacturers - like a broken proximity sensor on the Pixel 4 I got for work, improper cooling on the nexus 5X I bought while working at google (constantly thermal throttled), and a nexus 4 I bought that had a bad internal flash drive that failed a week after I set it up (RIP my 2fa codes).
Honestly it’s the same with philips. #0-#4 will cover 99% of cases. But in a pinch, a thin #2 will unscrew all of them.
Donating space is only half of the equation. I think donating bandwidth is a more significant aspect, especially with ISP's like Comcast which provide very little upload bandwidth compared to download. You'd expect that uploads wouldn't impact download speeds, but it's not the case. A saturated upload bandwidth means, ACK packets getting delayed, which means connections would be established way more slower. So, it's not a feasible prospect unless the competition takes over.
> Your local pizzeria does not have the driver go back to the restaurant for every order and deliver it directly to you. They certainly don't have a fleet of people ready to pickup your order. They pickup every order that's available, it's completely unoptimized in every way, and you get your order on the luck of the draw.

So, I worked as a delivery driver, and when it wasn't particularly busy, most deliveries were one at a time, and when it was busy, there was both am assigned limit on deliveries taken at once and incentive to optimize by proximity, because not being time inefficient was money out of the driver's pocket (since the bulk of pay was tips + fixed per delivery payment).

(And these days, more of the pizzerias with in-house delivery do have apps with location & status information on deliveries.)

Because meditation methods are all derived from Buddhism.
If we don't understand basically then we don't know the real reasons and we don't have enough motivation for why we need to meditate.

And our mind has to be in a peaceful state to have the best in mediation.

For example about this: gamers always say they play worse when they are old. In reality, it is almost like their mind has many problems with worrying about family or money, not like when they are young.

And we can't have peace of mind if we are just meditating. We need to understand the Noble Eightfold Path. https://i.imgur.com/Sv9Sdoj.png.

Meditation is a necessary but not sufficient condition.
That sounds fairly complicated to test, given that it's location dependent and carrier dependent.

It does sound like multiple people caught this, though:

> In case you’re wondering, this isn’t a problem with my particular unit because I’m not the only one to have expressed concerns about it. Marques Brownlee has already mentioned it in his Pixel 6 second-try video, my friend Cameron Summerson talked about it, and people are complaining about it on Twitter, Reddit (1, 2), and the Google Support forums (1, 2, 3).
Hacking My Tesla Model 3 – Security Overview
Aside from blood loss and Polycythemia Vera, what else can cause serum ferritin levels to decrease over time without anemia?
It was. We blocked off all the windows in our apartment (outside and inside) with old bed sheets and towels. We camped out in our living room with our A/C unit, keeping the "cool" air localized by blocking off the rest of the apartment with bed sheets and towels.

Even with the A/C unit (rated for about 465 sq ft) full tilt 24/7, our living room never dipped below 85 F. The rest of our apartment was well over 95.

Our poor cat was absolutely lethargic. We wiped her down with a wet washcloth every few hours, which she clearly appreciated. I think the A/C unit was a bit loud for her, though, because the dumb thing kept trying to sneak back to her favorite spots which were outside of the living room (and therefore over 100 F).
Yup and it happens but my guess is most screws only need to go in or out once or twice. Again, technically speaking I think Robertson is better but the reality is most people can accomplish what they need with a #2 philips regardless of what size is actually there.
Hooray!

I don't know about "all the knowledge ever", but to give you a baseline, the entire Wikipedia with images but without editing history, as last archived by Kiwix in May, 2022, is 90 Gb.

A web server can run just fine on e.g. Raspberry Pi Zero W ($10), exposing any such content to any smartphone etc able to connect to it via WiFi (Kiwix sells preconfigured SD cards for their content, even). So, assuming that most people already have a phone or a laptop or even something like a Kindle, the only non-negligible cost here is storage. And a 1 Tb SD card can be had for under $150 right now.

So if anything, I think OP is overly conservative, given that their estimate was "$200 per person". Unless that counts the devices used to consume the content, and not just storage and the server.
Most importantly, you can’t love someone else until you love yourself.
Ask HN: Are you using composable infrastructure at $DAYJOB?
So I was doing my semi-yearly colo fantasy scenario and came across pogolinux's offering for "composable infrastructure"[0].

I don't understand it completely yet, but it seems to be dis-aggregated compute, storage and peripherals via networked PCIe. I guess if I had to describe it, I might call it "motherboard-level virtualization". The hook is that you can provision virtualized "bare metal" -- assemble entire cores, memory, network and other devices/peripherals, via software.

This lines up with some products I've seen like Ethernet-native SSDs from Kioxia (formerly Toshiba) covered by ServeTheHome[1].

I am a huge fan of dis-aggregation and re-use (see: enthusiasm for k8s), and this "composable infrastructure" idea seems amazing, is anyone using this at their day job? What am I missing?

Reading through the descriptions the word "open" gets used a lot, but I don't know of any actually FOSS implementations of this (which is par for the course with deep server/mainframe software)...

Considering Amazon is still making waves with Nitro which is more small low overhead DPU/FPGAs + traditional hardware, is this really a future path that people are moving towards?

I had a quick discussion with someone on the IBM Z mainframe[2][3] which seems to be a similar concept but they couldn't tell me too much since it was still quite hush-hush. The idea isn't quite the same, because IBM Z is more like "one big blue motherboard + virtual machines", but considering IBM just moved to offering this as a server[4] it seems like no one actually should be trying to make this concept work locally (i.e. in your own colo/DC).

Also while we're here, is pogo linux the best/most cost-effective server assembly site you know of?

Read that part again. It's definitely not true of Philips.
This is like saying tribal knowledge is useless, or internet access is useless. Books are useless only if they’re inaccessible.

The point you’re trying to make (I think) is that information isn’t particularly useful on its own. True. It has to be relevant. With good, useful information you still need community support (whether that’s your household or your country), funding, time, etc. But that’s going to be the case whether you’re using a book or learning from a forum, or a video. Internet videos are worthless if you have no internet. Tribal knowledge is useless if no one can get the information from the previous generation. The medium is not the problem, and suggesting that relevancy is a fault of the medium is a misrepresentation.
Composability of Data
Well, your ISP knows which customer account it routed to at a given moment in time. The rest doesn't necessarily matter to them.

For example, I asked what happens if you ignore Comcast's Bittorrent warning and someone else on HN said they do indeed terminate your account.

Maybe playing dumb doesn't get you off the hook. Or it reveals you as a dumb helpless open relay. The most I can imagine Comcast doing if you responded to them would be sending over a technician to reset your router password.
