It’s never that simple.

They have to join AOM if they want to use AV1 and they need to use AV1 if they want to be relevant because all the big players banded together and made that unavoidable. That’s the heart of the anticompetitive argument.

Most companies don’t exist to sue for patent infringement. They are not patent trolls. The point of competition law is that they should be able to do business without having to go to court with a conglomerate.
It's been stated multiple times in this thread that he can't walk away just by paying $1B.

If he wanted to only offload $8B TSLA stock and not buy the company, why put that possibility way more out of reach by waiving due dilligence and accepting the special performance clause?

Are we also to assume that he has managed to assemble the most abjectly incompetent team of lawyers in the world as well?
Awesome, thank you for publishing it!

The internet, somewhat ironically, really needs a search engine that works in the current day. You can't find anything anymore. It's like Google has been un-invented.

Hopefully some day soon the internet will be searchable again.
> For an unknown emergency situation at that price point they seem ideal.

No, they are the worst thing you can buy "for an emergency."

Sometimes people buy them with no intention of transmitting, they see the Baofengs as cheap VHF/UHF scanners. But they make terrible scanners. Their frequency range is very limited, their scanning is very slow, their selectivity is poor, and they are missing almost all of the bells and whistles that come with modern hand-held scanners.

If you think you might want to transmit during an emergency, then just grabbing a Baofeng or three off the jungle site and hoping for the best is a TERRIBLE plan.

A popular line of thinking is, "but during an emergency, you can use any radio and frequency necessary." Yes, that is logically true but those who say it are conveniently ignoring several aspects of reality: Unless you have a business license or an amateur radio license, you are not allowed push the Transmit button on a Baofeng. If you cannot transmit with the radio, then you cannot practice using it. If you cannot practice using it, you are NOT PREPARED to use it in an emergency and your own incompetence with it could lead to loss of life.

You also have to consider what kind of emergency you are likely to face. If you're out in the back country where there is no cell service, then a VHF/UHF radio is very unlikely to do you any good either. You need something with satellite capability in this case.

If you want to be prepared for an urban emergency (tornado, flooding, terrorist attack, war) then you want TWO radios: a scanner for receiving weather, listening in on emergency services (if not encrypted), and listening to others on various services. To communicate: a CB, FRS, or MURS radio. A $25 Baofeng CANNOT be used as any of these.

Potentially the best option is to learn about radio, get an amateur radio license, AND THEN purchase a Baofeng or higher-quality amateur radio. Then you will have the skills and license to actually operate the thing correctly when needed and legally when not.

Disclaimer: I own a Baofeng and use it legally.
Exists geographies, very well suited for a linear city concept. Not too many.
I was going to ask the same thing. I've used nom for a library of mine but wasn't totally satisfied with it, so I think I'll give this a try.
I never abandoned desktops for laptops (I use them only for travel), but many people don't have a dedicated office space at home so a laptop is their only real option.
I only ever threatened it once so didn't go to the expense of filing.

In practice, yes an unpaid invoice, plus proof of delivery /service. Alternatively, a judgment from a court ordering them to pay.
Library authors not exporting their fundamental data structures is very painful, but this happens in many other languages too.
Okay, so what are the downsides?

Who wouldn't want this?
I just sold my house for a ridiculous number. My realtor got 50 people to tour the house in a single weekend, and 5 places offers and I took the one 10% over the asking price. It's not a mansion or anything, and not in some high tech city, but nice area and a bit of land. The 6% commission is not really that much. Just prepping the house took all of my energy; trying to do marketing as well would have been too much.

Like many things you can do everything yourself, or contract to others to do the things you are not good at, or don't have time for. Arguing realtors are useless is like saying accountants are useless, or lawyers are useless. I also did not re-roof my house. But of course you could get terrible accountants, lawyers or roofers, and you could possibly be terrible at stuff yourself. Some people think programmers are useless and some are, but that's not sufficient to try writing it yourself if you aren't one.
Is it really?

Because all the members of AOM are posting insane profits including on their media part and media codec is an insignificant part of a smartphone price. Honestly the whole thing looks mostly like a play from big players to pay less on the encoding side. It’s mostly irrelevant to consumers.
You said it yourself, free beats everything else. For the vast majority of people the OS is free, they either buy a Mac (OSX already installed) or a Windows PC with Windows already installed. So installing Linux is actually not free (it requires extra work).

I would actually not be surprised if the market share of Linux exceeds the market share of Windows where Windows was installed by the user (let's exclude corporate environments because the discussion is much more complicated)
I found the first example clear: the response (which sub-menu is showing) depends on the way the current situation was reached (whether another sub-menu was showing above when you moved the mouse down and over this sub-menu).

Wikipedia defines two terms taking the possible lag into account: "Hysteresis can be a dynamic lag between an input and an output that disappears if the input is varied more slowly; this is known as rate-dependent hysteresis. However, phenomena such as the magnetic hysteresis loops are mainly rate-independent, which makes a durable memory possible." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteresis
Why does this talking point get employed every time this conversation takes place? As I said:

> No one is saying pickup trucks are never used to haul large items

Obviously some people use them for purpose. The majority don’t and are purchased as status symbols in suburbia. The fact that farmer do use them does not invalidate that.

> Wouldn't this underground network be more efficient than the above-ground railways for cargo? Cargo trains above ground need to stop at lights, need human drivers, etc etc.

Grade separation is a thing in much of the world.

Correct.. Your production server with dual mirrored arrays should have an identical warm spare. If it's in the same data center, then you need a separate offsite backup in case of a worst case disaster such as a tornado, fire, or nuclear strike.
I wrote a longer comment about this elsewhere in these comments but the short version is: a Baofeng is a terrible scanner and can't be used to transmit on ANYTHING without a license of some kind. If you can't transmit, then you can't practice, and if you can't practice, you aren't prepared for an emergency.

If you just want to listen, a handheld scanner would be a far better option than a Baofeng (but of course cost a bit more).
Calling your [@ the author, not submitter] belief reality and setting it in opposition to others' experiences sure does seem like ideology. Worse, you've based it entirely on your singular experience.

Yes, sometimes people find that it wasn't dysphoria after all. Desistance and detransition are a thing, though it's usually due to social pressure or practical considerations rather than deciding the feeling wasn't real. The vast majority of trans people, up in the high 90s, do not find they can just reason, therapy, and power their way past it despite much effort, often to the point of self-destruction.
I personally do. At my company we recently finished adding types to some libraries that were a core part of our system but were deemed "untypeable" by the maintainers of the libraries themselves (we're contributing back), and only band-aids existed. We needed several advanced typing features in our languages for that that weren't available for us a couple years ago.

Each time we added more advanced typing to new sections of the system, new bugs and security issues were found. At the end there were over 100 places that were being used incorrectly. This is something that linters and the library itself failed to catch for years, but with proper typing we got there.
Go's biggest problem is that no one at Google dares to question design decisions. After all, it's Rob Pike and Ken Thompson! What was the last time they had to write and maintain a modern, large software system? Go is great to fool around with, but at scale, it becomes a nightmare. Most of your code, first of all, is error checking. Because new rule - exceptions are suddenly bad (they are not).

It's really hard to know what you are doing right or wrong when you are writing a large program. There are no guidelines for proper layout, logging, and error checking practices, and no matter what you do, it's verbose and error-prone (more code = more bugs). It's all DIY. I referred to HashiCorp code to see how they do things, for example.

As someone here said once - Go is basically improved C, after snoozing through four decades of language development. On one hand Go lets you go wild, and on the other it imposes rules that are seemingly arbitrary, like enforced naming conventions, but only in certain places.
Does it have to be this way?
>So the more a house sells for, the more they make. A falling market will drive some agents out of the field.

Yes and no.

This was a chapter in Freakonomics which showed how since their fee is a small fraction of the value, changes in prices would not affect them so much (within limits), i.e. the 3% fee on - say - 1,000,000 is 30,000, if the house price gets to 900,000 the 3% fee is still 27,000, but in order to be able to sell at the full price, they would need more time and have more expenses, so the real incentive for the agent is to sell quickly and find a new house to sell.

If you prefer, selling 5 houses at 850,000 is still better than selling 4 at 1,000,000 for the agent.

If number of sales go down then the agents will suffer.

Get a Garmin inReach mini: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/592606 The key feature of the Garmin is that it has two way communication (on the cheap model you can use a slow character at a time typing, or link to your smartphone with BLE for a proper keyboard).

Two way communication with rescuers is an absolute game-changer in real emergencies. You can tell rescuers exactly what happened and the conditions of people, the environment, etc. to expect. Without two way comms rescuers only see a ping from a beacon and have to first send out a small team to recon the area and find you, then they have to radio back to get a proper rescue going. With two way comms you can short circuit that recon and tell them exactly how many people are injured, if you need a helicopter right now, if you're safe to spend a night, etc. Rescuers can keep you in the loop of progress too like if they're delayed from weather, etc.

I listen to a great podcast about climbing accidents (the sharp end: https://www.thesharpendpodcast.com/2022 ) and every single episode that involves a rescue mentions that having two way communication with the search and rescue team was critical in getting a fast and safe rescue. Don't bother with anything else beside a satellite communication device that can talk both ways IMHO.
Take your pick from other European countries. Asian countries have much, much higher population density than the US. Is their standard of living as high in many of those countries? No? Do they enjoy reserve currency status? No. Do they make it work anyways? Yes. Could we learn many useful ways of living and building and structuring our businesses, lives, and economy? Yes!

I'm tired of the snide dismissals that we Americans make to any comparison between our country and others. Oh, well, our country is special and exceptional, heterogeneous and large, so we have nothing to learn and cannot possibly change things here. Even if you arrogantly assume America is the best at everything and leads the world in so many ways, much can still be learned from the way others live their lives and structure their homes, businesses, and societies. You can compare apples to oranges. They're both fruit! Biologists compare species all the time to learn more about the species and to better ourselves with that knowledge. We can learn about and from other countries and peoples while disclaiming some of the differences. At the very least we can acknowledge that it works elsewhere and that what they do could be done here in at least a limited fashion or successful manner. Even if we're red apple fruits and they're bloody oranges, they're both fruit and both countries.

Ask HN: “We're having some trouble serving your request. Sorry”
Since HN’s come back online, I am randomly been getting an error message saying, “We're having some trouble serving your request. Sorry” and have seen others on Twitter sharing getting the same error.

Does anyone know easy/free way to log HN not being down, but returning an availability error — preferably from a system that’s not dependent on AWS; HN is currently on AWS as a result of the main & fallback servers experiencing disk failures.

Preferably it generate a report that publicly available like the one below, but that report doesn’t appear to log these types of errors:

Is this accounting for inflation?

4% inflation per year (the most common estimate I see in the US) means 3x over 30 years doesn't even break even (1.04**30 ≈ 3.24).

I often wonder how much people obsessed with home prices rising (in the US at least) take this into account. How much housing mania is fueled by people getting excited about gains that aren't as real as they think?

Technically .* is a valid regex for those strings, so the issue here is not only to reverse engineer them, but to do so in a way that's meaningful for the person who has to use it after.

It shouldn't be hard to start with .* and resursively split it in two parts that still match the input strings, but I believe you will end up with matching but useless regexes.

I use a lemp10, the previous model with 11th gen i7. 15 hours of use are definitely possible in light use (low but sufficient screen brightness, disabling turbo boost), i.e. browsing, some video watching, text editing.

I can still work a full day off a single charge.

'sillysaurusx -- I respect your opinions. I know that I respect your opinions because you're able to use HackerNews as a bully pulpit to reach a very wide audience and I personally both enjoy and look forward to seeing your participation. I've often wished I had better opportunities to learn from you and always silently wish you well on your personal journey.

I also see from your Twitter reply that you feel HN hasn't necessarily been a great platform for your participation. I just want to counter that feeling with real-world result: I've read hundreds of your comments and at least a dozen of your submissions. I suspect HackerNews is actually a fantastically appropriate platform for you, and not an adversarial one.

At any rate, the disconnect between what I perceive as an outside observer vs. what you perceive as a "man in the arena"[0] is a fascinating phenomenon in its own right.

It's annoying but Garmin has a plan where you can pause it when you're not using it. It's something like $5 a year when not in use, then you flip it on (just go to the website) and it charges you the rate and gives you full service again. So if you're not using it in the winter you don't have to pay the big regular monthly cost.

Unfortunately you will not find a satellite comm device without some kind of monthly service plan, it's how they base their business models.

Get the Garmin inreach, it is absolutely worth it and two way communication is critical in a real rescue situation.
> House prices were bounded by wages and were understood to be depreciating assets.

When was this ever true?

If you literally abandoned a house and let it rot then yeah maybe in ten years it will have lost value because it will need a lot of work, but other than that I think it's never been the case they're depreciating in any meaningful sense.
>The 6% commission is not really that much.

Sure, because you (or your agent) managed to sell 10% more than asking price.

Try re-evaluating this 6% if all offers were 85-90% of asking price, and confirm that it is not really that much.
On the flip side, "red" states are seeing rapid population growth from climate and economic migration, so inflation is high for low wage earners in the low cost of living areas. We're probably going to see a smaller range in costs between LCOL and MCOL than we have recently.

That's not really the intention behind the initial concept. If you are able to update a plane to make it more efficient while keeping the same behaviour and the same interfaces for the pilot, then it is great and there are no safety concerns with that.

The only issue on the Max is that as part of the refresh, they were not able to keep the same behaviour. And then, instead of fixing it with additional engineering or requiring new training, they hid that under the carpet and made sure the FAA accept itq, leading to crashes and deaths. Plus the denial after the first crash was really disgusting.
