This depends on the cross-licensing terms right? Like suppose AV1 becomes the standard format for web video, and as a result I use an AV1 compressor to create an AV1 video. Does that mean that if I ever come up with an invention in compression techniques and patent it I’ll then have to provide a royalty free license to AOMedia for this invention?

Book Review: Soonish (My Notes and Quotes)
I find it strange that the article doesn't mention the Hummer's exact weight. Is it really exactly 9,000 pounds, or is it about 9,000, or is it over 9,000?
Wow! That's fascinating. Thank you.

If the innovation is worth something, even if the company is forced out of the market, it can be either reused in further endeavours of the shareholders/company owners or the research can be continued under the guidance of some other company. Businesses don't just "forget" about their past research (unless we're talking trillion dollar companies).
Well all the UI stuff. It is super easy to add a column and change something fast with the UI when doing rapid development. But that piece is missing when developing locally. I have gone on to create 2 projects (one called local and one prod) and manually applying the changes. Would be nice to apply changes from one project to another. PocketBase here for example provides the UI locally too. That is the real selling point IMO.

Ask HN: Do tech workers experience medical bankruptcy?
These stats include other factors that results in this outcome.
https://www.thebalance.com/medical-bankruptcy-statistics-4154729

Just wondering if tech workers have experienced bankruptcy due to illness. I read one FIRE person from Hacker News chronicling how he had to go back to work because he became ill, as his wife left him.

Medicaid is not an option for retired tech workers due to proof of property. Medicare only applies to 65+

He may be an exPM but he is the leader of the current mainstream faction (Hosoda faction) within the ruling party. So this is kinda huge.
California's government is center-right. There is no far left party in US politics. That's why you don't have affordable higher education or healthcare, why your infrastructure is decaying, why you don't have nice public transit, etc.

It's also why your taxes are so high with nothing to show for them. Turns out austerity is expensive for most people. Canada and Mexico have cheap insulin because their governments are only willing to put up with so much profiteering in medicine. One has to ask why the US government is. Is that because of the far left, too?
There are plenty of apps that run smooth on Linux. If there is a bug, then it almost definitely isn't due to Linux itself. Maybe they could just admit their development efforts aren't actually focused on optimizing for open source.

I used to go igloo camping with my scout troop every winter so I’ve had lots of experience building igloos and a-frames. If it’s just 1-2 people an a-frame is much simpler and quicker to build, although a snow cave can be even faster if the conditions are right for it. Depending on how deep you dig an igloo will fit 3-5 people and can be expanded with multiple a-frames if you have even more. The more people you can cram in, the warmer it is.

A few years ago I went on an 3-day snowshoe trip with a couple of friends in Montana. On the second day it was significantly colder than the first and one of my friends had been complaining about being cold at night. Luckily our other friend had packed a portable snow saw so we decided to stop early and build an igloo. We lucked out and the snow was in good condition so we didn’t have to prepare it first. If the snow is too dry and powdery you first have to stomp down a large area with snowshoes and then wait an hour or so for it to harden before you can cut good blocks from it. If I remember correctly it took us about 4 hours to build a decent size igloo and shovel it out. It’s amazing how warm they can get inside. It was about 0°F outside that night not including windchill, but inside it was warm enough that I needed to unzip my sleeping bag a bit.

If you get the chance to build an igloo and sleep in it, I highly highly recommend it. It’s super fun and is something you will remember forever. Bring a tent as backup unless you already have experience :)
The fact that you called it Cali is pretty good evidence that you don’t live here

Lol, and now you edited it out. Case in point.
You'd have a separate 24/7 ops teams instead of every single team being first-responders for their own things. This team would be watching the dashboards and alarms with some first-level investigation/triage playbooks so that if all that's needed is "press this button to reboot the server" or "it's a holiday, or the national team just won the world cup, this is a drop in traffic cause everyone is outside" then nobody else has to get paged.

I don't know which model Amazon uses myself, but it sounds more like the "everyone is their own first responder" model which surprises me a little, but each model has its pros and cons. The justification I'm most familiar with is "if there's a separate ops team you're going to be complacent and throw shit over the wall without caring about quality" which is a somewhat lazy excuse for not actually getting your engineers to care about quality with anything but a hammer to beat them on the head with, but ....
Could you elaborate on the connection? I don't see how "everyone should code" leads to societal distrust. I do see how "defund the police" does, but I don't see how tech or finance was really responsible that movement.
That someone was me when I used to be on call as a Fab engineer. I took responsibility and my team relied on my alertness when shit hit the fan a couple of times during my career. Yes, someone has to do it. The negativity and cynicism on HN astounds me.

Pontevedra is very compressed. Pedestrian-only areas cover most of the city.
I feel like we’re talking past each other in what OP’s term “negative funding sinks” means. I took that to mean cities where the residents pay more than their share for infrastructure and services that benefit the larger metro region. So NYC would qualify, but Sam Francisco wouldn’t.
I don't really buy your argument that the progressives won the culture wars.

Sure big business pretends to lean left because they want to appeal to a mass global audience but where have all the real wins been?

Roe vs Wade: gone, Gun reform: nonexistant, LGBTQ rights: put on notice.

Hell the left is back to wandering the woods again after the last election. All they have are "paper wins". Ie. rhetoric but no substance.

>Go back 20 years when Evangelical Christianity was at its zenith of cultural power and what did we get?

Unless you have an argument for how Israel as it stands is on the way out, I don't buy that argument one bit.
Given the compromises the Apple is willing to make to keep their foot in China’s market, you can be sure that neither of the big tech companies is willing to give up on the EU market. Let alone allow the vacuum to be scooped up by a more favourable tech company.
They'd have exactly the same incentives, because they'd be bound in exactly the same regulatory environment. the F in FDA is for food. the other F in FDA is the silent (Federal) in front of it. its the US FDA. Its federal.

> Some of the best public elementary, middle/junior, and high schools in the country are in California. Some of the worst are as well.
...
> but rather spend your limited resources on bringing the bottom half up.

Ok, so right here is the issue. It's like saying that US has no poverty issue, because some of the richest people live here. You yourself mentioned, that it is important to improve the bottom percentiles. And the bottom percentiles in California are not good. Some of the exceptional schools in CA are private, some of them are public, but most likely located in expensive areas. You gonna have to pay for a good school either directly or via insane home prices. Yes, you can find decent schools in less-crowded-but-not-very-rural areas with more reasonable cost of living, sort of a sweet spot. And the majority of those schools aren't gonna be exceptional, the will be fine, just fine. Not better than any other state. But the lowest percentile in the worst area is still gonna drag the whole chart down. Everyone I know in CA who cares about school for their kids either lives in a pricy area or pays for a private school.
I've certainly seen "most" used to mean "almost all", and it appears as though you're feeling a little annoyed to see it used that way because you consider it misleading.

I've also frequently seen "most" used to mean "a majority", though, in which case GP's use of the term is precisely consistent with the facts in their source.
In the last 30-40 years the cost to attend UC has gone up significantly (when I attended in the 90s tuition went down to $3,600/yr, it’s 5X that now), but the top schools are still world renown and the next tier have arguably moved up (UCSD and UCSB in particular).

I believe the greatest risk to California’s continued prosperity is the lack of affordable housing (which I would associate partly with Prop 13, but also just general NIMBYism). There have been a lot of efforts in the past few years to move towards higher density but I think we’ll need to wait until the next administration to see if this pro-housing approach is going to stick.
It actually says that the test will catch it hours later and that the assertion will fail?

The contrived example would only ever happen if the developers in question didn't talk to each other. A lack of coordination is the real problem and cannot be solved by tooling. You can never tool your way out of a communication problem.

Of course things could be better, and like a previous commenter mentioned, there are missing investments in housing, transportation and more. That is however, because of the continuous specter of the right winning state offices and the "left" party basically being centerist.
What kind of inane question is this.
Sisvel is pledging for 0.1~0.3 euros on AV1-capable hardware here, europe has done much worse (like with the OOXML standard) and unfortunately got away with it. This doesn't particularly affect the EU as a market, it's applied globally.
I just cant grok that viewpoint. As an American the French did the same thing to us in the Revolutionary war that we are doing to Ukraine, i.e. supplying arms to another nation to fight a proxy war against their enemy. Even while knowing that and with the benefit of getting to peruse historical documents rather than figure this out pre communications technology, I still appreciate that they stepped up and helped us when we wanted to fight. I can't imagine the Ukranians as being any different.
> It will not stop people like the one at 4th july, nor those school shootings. Unless the gun control laws completely outlaw civilians owning guns - which i dont think will fly.

You sure about that? If we had an aggressive gun buyback program and really dried up the supply, sure, you might still be able to buy an assault rifle from the criminal underworld. However, if you have the disposable income to be able to afford to pay >$20k for that gun...you've probably got your life together and aren't going on shooting sprees.
The problem is that you have no actual principles or tangible goals so it is impossible to negotiate with you. It is like negotiating with a bully who promises to only take half of your lunch money, and then the next day you negotiate with him to only take three-quarters of your lunch money.

It is a slippery slope when there's no defined stopping point. Your arguments can still be applied after you've implemented your "solution".
In the school shootings, at least, there is always some unhinged person behind it. Deeper mental health checks before purchasing a gun (like as is required in Germany) could be very useful. Also, rules in place that your gun is stored securely in a safe, and spot checks to verify such (again, in Germany) can help with guns making their way into other people’s hands either by being given or by being taken. A friend of mine in high school killed herself with her father’s gun…she might have not gone through with it if the gun was locked up and the suicide wasn’t so easy.

Think of gun restrictions and bans as friction. They act to reduce bad events, they don’t eliminate them. If you just make getting a gun harder (by legitimate and illegitimate means), that will have a marked reduction in gun deaths (and violent deaths overall since other methods require much more work/willpower/skills).
Exactly, gigantic workshop of manual craftsmen (or a huge bureaucratic coop of sharecroppers) instead of an industrial factory.

Links to my GUI system? If so, it's early days, and there is nothing public. I am using F#, my own bindings to GLFW, and SkiaSharp, which is an existing .NET binding and library over Skia, to prototype things. At this point, I have a basic windowing system down, and now I'm trying to figure out the right interface to the events that can be sent out to whatever wants them and also basic "widget" elements. But I am considering multiple windows from the start, and I have that working do a decently satisfactory level right now. Things will definitely keep evolving as I learn things though.

To be honest, I never wanted to create this. I originally wanted to experiment with making my own desktop programs but found the existing solutions too unsatisfactory or complicated. I also do not want to use C++. The closest I got was using Racket's GUI toolkit, but I found I was going to have to be writing a lot of custom widgets anyway, and I was also dealing with bugs and slogging through terse documentation.

According to most charts, numerous Universities in California are generally high ranking (the UC system, USC, Pepperdine, Stanford among them) but within numerous specialties it's indisputable: UCSD for biotech, UC Davis for Ag-tech/veterinary science, Berkeley/Stanford for CS, Boalt/Hastings/King for Law, etc. The specialization matters here significantly.

The US weirdly in general has a lot of high ranking universities, but its elementary and secondary schools are very very uneven, at any level.
My main issue with the BoE was competence. There was a lack of competence across the board, but If I had to give a more specific reason to recall them, it was their incompetence with respect to re-opening schools. Their incompetence around the re-naming showed how bad they were.

As for Lowell, I think that was a big issue for many, but not amongst the 100+ parents that I’ve spoken to on the issue.

If someone wants to invest in a startup, wouldn't they prefer to use a system that, you know, isn't going to be decentralized?

> No, a device I bought from them is very much not their hardware, but mine, I should do as I please with it.

This argument falls apart when the “device” in question is a car or PlayStation though? You most certainly cannot do whatever you please with a car for obvious reasons. You most certainly cannot install any game on a PlayStation unless Sony approves it.

More importantly, the pov you hold is a ableist attitude. A device that controls your communications (either to your bosses at work or loved ones at home) or that deals with your financial or health data can become a treasure trove to exploit among less tech savvy users.

A device a “less tech savvy user can do what they please” with is exactly the device that a mobile repair person in a store can convince the user to install BigEvil’s browser because BigEvil pays a commission to that repair person. Or that’s exactly the device the police or immigration customs agents can install spyware as a part of a “security check”.

Tech savvy users can do whatever they please with their devices. Feel free to jailbreak it and forgo any right to future software updates. After all, once you buy it — the device is yours. But you have no right to expect to receive continued support and features in the form of future software updates.
