Fair. That does suck that these OEMs gate essential apps like that. I didn't know that those are actually ever preferable to AOSP or Play Store equivalents. But again, hard to see how this situation could apply to iOS, regulators aren't going to force Apple to license it out to other phone manufacturers.
Isn't this what YC does essentially? YC backed SaaS companies buy each others products, write favorable case studies and use that to convince other enterprises to buy in, and to IPO quickly they raise lot of money to have the market share that commands the multi billion valuations with insane revenue multiples?

Seems like this model is beginning to fail, most YC backed IPOs are now trading in deep red. ex) coinbase

edit: lurkervizzle I can't respond to you since im throttled but this is what I wrote in response to add on to what you wrote in the other comment

this is far more serious than I thought I seemingly just made the connection that YC backed SaaS (or any other accelerator schemes) were essentially just writing cheques to each other and playing whack a mole: You direct your cohort members to send cheques to one SaaS, raise series B & C, push for IPO after making splashes on media outlets (also owned and controlled by stakeholders), which in turn generates more fervor from retail investors eager to get in on the "next" Facebook.

Then you would naturally use these beacons to essentially send more cheques, this time across many tiny bets that they can cycle through one after the other. Some make it to IPO, many don't so they get "acquired".

The more I look at the YC business model and silicon valley in general is that very small group of people are actually in it to build sustainable businesses, since the Uber secondary market successes of VCs that successfully dumped their shares on Masayoshi, the SaaS have become the new "social media opex", where losing $2 to make $1 is preferred over slower growing but consistent net profit generating ones.

By next year I anticipate ton of pain and anger. I took a look at some TC figures and they are roughly 30/70 mix of cash and RSUs. Many of those people are also in debt through real estate using HELOCs too.

What I think we are headed for is something unprecedented because there are 3 major bubbles imploding: crypto, real estate, dot com

Even more crazy is that we had the exact setup going into the new millenia: e-gold, real estate, dot com but the difference back then was that monetary supply was nowhere near as low as they have been in the past 3 years (take a look at the M2 supply/velocity chart).

Yeah but we will get the word out that none of that is trustworthy, then. There will be countermeasures and reactions to this just like previous things. It will certainly be effective to some degree - propaganda is effective for sure - but it won't just be, oh, there are deepfakes, everyone will now just unthinkingly accept them.
This is also why we're drifting towards an "Imperial Presidency", where the president, as the only power center that can come to a decision, unilaterally dictates more and more of US policy.
> I’m not sure they’re even able to without mass protests because the lng pipeline from the us will immediately dry up.

The cold war has already gone hot thanks to "Fuck the EU" US interference in Ukraine [0] by now having escalated into a full blown open war, just like there is no "LNG pipeline from the US" to Europe.

> not sure they’re even able to without mass protests

Do you mean mass protests like they we had over the invasion of Iraq? That didn't lead to anything and thus has crippled the global peace movement to this day.

That's why the idea that European people will "take to the streets" to protest for "American gas", is pretty out there and quite fantastical.

Before that happens you will see people take to the streets to protest the sanctions that are mainly responsible for this economic hardship, sanctions pushed for by Washington.

Thanks for pointing out the other person’s bias. The demonstration by example in your second paragraph was particularly illuminating.
Forums are best for long-form long-term discussions, and they are the only suitable medium for that, apart from mailing lists (and formerly Usenet). The most essential feature for that, besides being able to comfortably display longer posts in context, is to be able to track which portions of which threads you have already read. The ideal is to be able to track read status by individual post, but only email and news (Usenet) clients offer that granularity (and it effectively requires keyboard navigation between posts).

The lack of read status support is also why the HN interface is only suitable for short discussions.

Instantaneous responses lead to chat-like communication, which is a whole different thing. There’s Discord, Reddit, IRC and the like for that.

This is a VERY bold statement to make without citing any sources.

If for instance you were to look across recent world history you will find many communist ( left ) groups/factions are exceedingly violent toward civilians and account for millions of civilian deaths.[0]

In this country very recently, "...New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio... blamed anarchists and "far-left extremist" groups, including antifa, for inciting and organizing violent riots"[1]

I am not say that violence is not perpetrated by those on the right but your statement is a gross misrepresentation.

> The classical World Championship matches have never been entertaining to watch live.

> In fact they used to take 2 days for one game.

Come now. The WCC matches were entertaining to watch for chess enthusiasts. Even when games took two days, people would sit and analyze each position, and that was without computers.

They still do that, of course. Although chess computers have taken some of the fun out of the analysis, I've been to several live viewings of the recent WCCs at chess clubs and bars, where a local GM would sit and comment on the position and take questions and suggestions from the crowd.

But the WCC matches have become less entertaining for chess enthusiasts, since there is so much defensive play. There isn't too much to analyze in yet another Berlin game.

It's entertaining when someone makes a horrible blunder, but not in the same way – there's little to analyze in a position that's blundered.

So I'd argue the classical WCC used to be entertaining to watch live for chess enthusiasts, but now they're less entertaining for chess enthusiasts. For "regular people", they've never been very entertaining, except when there's a spectacular blunder, which has never been very entertaining for chess enthusiasts.
What I don't get is: why would they pay more for someone from San Francisco? I'd expect the incentive to be to indeed pay the same for the same work, but that pay would be the lowest they can get away with. (i.e. I wouldn't expect that to lead to Silicon Valley salaries all over the world.)

Unless it's not actually the same work, and location affects work. It does at least affect gross pay in any case, I suppose.
They were lucky to find a whale like Masayoshi to dump their shares but seems the equivalent of bragging about how you got rich in the early phases of a ponzi scheme with the losers holding bags.
> Respectfully, aren't these definitions just semantics about firing capability?

Statements like "ban all assault rifles" require semantics, and the entire discussion around "which weapons to ban" is entirely semantics. If this person genuinely means "assault rifle", then you already can't own these as a civilian (generally, unless it was made before 1986 and you pay a ton of money for it). If this person means "assault weapon", then we're talking about a poorly defined class of weapons, which are largely based on cosmetic features.

> My understanding is the mass-shooter weapon of choice, the AR-15

The AR-15 is the most common rifle in the country. It's a popular rifle because it can do everything. It's cheap, you can hunt with it if you want (larger magazines are popular for hunting feral hogs, which are infesting the south), you can shoot sporting competitions with it. If you want to shoot a different caliber, for example to change to .22 for cheap target shooting, you can pop two pins, swap to a second upper, and go ahead and plink away at your soda cans. With it being the most popular platform of rifle in the US, of course it pops up in mass shootings. Wanting to ban the AR-15 is like wanting to ban RAM 2500s because they're the "truck of choice for drunk drivers" [1].

> "overwhelming evidence that the AR-15 could bring more firepower to bear than the M14" [2]

A potential, but never materialized, military AR-15 that they're talking about here, would have been select-fire. Then that military AR-15 would be an assault rifle. This has no bearing on semi-automatic AR-15s not being an assault rifle.

This is the third uninformed comment from you that I've needed to respond to today, loaded with more sources but lacking comprehension.

I've been seeing more of these comments on HN lately. This is snarky
Rural areas also tend to be at least as dependent on domestic shipping as cities, and not a lot of rural dwellers are growing enough of their own food to avoid starvation if that's disrupted. Not like back when a really high percentage were farmers who grew both cash crops and varied crops & small animals for their own consumption. If all the crops for a 50 mile radius are soy beans and feed-corn, and there are no processing plants for either nearby, and you're not close to a large port... you're gonna have a bad time if the trains stop running and gas gets scarce. It's not like any but a small percentage of rural folks would be sitting back well-fed while the cities starved. The best-off of all might well be the coastal cities, in fact. The notion that mostly-empty red counties can just deliberately starve out the cities and win seems extremely far-fetched to me, in this our modern economy.
What If We Live in a Superdeterministic Universe?
I mean you don't actually have to 'look ahead' 65 moves to know that there is a winning move, even if that move is 65 moves ahead.

You can just go 'this move is winning, and I can infer that because of these logical points'. This isn't really 'looking ahead x moves into the future', you can just know a position is winning and will cause a cascade of moves of a predictable-length that will end in an eventual checkmate.

If you call this 'looking ahead x moves' or not depends on the definition I guess, but I just mean they might not be actually evaluating / imagining all those positions (because you can either use logic or pattern-match to previous situations).

Okay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The market doesn’t care how we feel. People want cars. Sell them electric cars. Tesla can’t build them fast enough to meet demand. Those vehicle batteries (along with stationary storage batteries) will be recycled at end of life by Redwood Materials into newer, better batteries in 5-15 years. These cars will never burn petroleum, and will get cleaner as the grid gets cleaner. The price of refined petroleum will stay high because of no slack in refinery capacity, as capital won’t invest in an industry without a growth future. This further drives consumers to EVs. These are all facts.

Opinion: I can sell my 2021 Model Y for $15k more than I paid for it, and my 2018 Model S for $20k less than I paid for it with 100k miles on it. That’s fairly good value preservation imho.

At university, many years ago, one lecturer referred to the BUSY pin signal on a chip as the "bus ypsilon" signal. English was his third language, as an East German German first, then Russian second, so we did not think it was a joke, and that was in East Germany only a few years after reunification so his English practice probably was lacking at the time. I don't think anybody ever corrected him the entire semester.
Ask HN: Where to Go from Here?
Was hoping the hn community (which i've grown with over my decade+ career) would provide some original insight - I've been a backend/jvm/low latency engineer for a long time. I specialize in indexing the web and providing it to downstream processes in warc format. My current role involves upleveling junior engineers as the system is pretty mature at this point and I probably won't be promoted staying here. I could see myself building crawlers for a while but I'm not seeing any startups that need this skill. Where would you recommend I look for the next interesting project involving low latency jvm languages (like yc's backed questdb)

That is not how it works, and not how it is supposed to work. This is hubris and disrespect to all chess players in the world. For more than 100 years champions changed each other in title matches (well, before Kasparov's limitless ego created a decade of turmoil in Chess), with just one exception by Fischer, and now Carlsen 'doesnt feel any personal benefit'. :ThumbDown:
Not being able to use the native browser find in page in a Discourse forum is my single biggest complaint about my otherwise glowing experience with the platform.

It's because talking about your salary is so widely taboo that you may think your rate of $40k salary is good because it's comfortable in your area, but most chances are you don't realize that your co-worker who has the same skill level and workload is getting paid $80k and that's a good way to piss off your employees.

Pay for skills not for cost of living. You hire someone for what they can bring to the table not how much you can profit off them.
> It needs a logging framework behind it - log4j

Minor nit: log4j doesn't implement the slf4j interface, though. If you do want log4j to do your logging, but use slf4j in your application, you need to include a "bridge" library that adapts slf4j to log4j. And, conversely, if you have dependencies that use log4j, but want things to end up going through your slf4j-supporting backend (say, logback), you need to exclude the "real" log4j jar and include a different library that implements log4j's interface and forwards calls to slf4j.

I mean yes, you’re right insofar as it goes. However nothing I am aware of implies technical reasons linking these two variables into a necessarily inevitable trade-off. And it’s not only creative writing that’s been hobbled; GPT3 used to be an incredibly promising academic research tool and given the right approach to prompts could uncover disparate connections between siloed fields that conventional search can only dream of.

I’m eager for OpenAi to wake up and walk back on the clumsy corporate censorship, and/or for competitors to replicate the approach and improve upon the original magic without the “bias” obsession tacked on. Real challenge though “bias” may pose in some scenarios, perhaps a better way to address this would be at the training data stage rather than clumsily gluing on an opaque approach towards poorly implemented, idealist censorship lacking in depth (and perhaps arguably, also lacking sincerity).

I'd prefer that an owner-occupant be able to write off the interest on N/N units on a parcel, just the same as a landlord is able to write off the interest on N/N units.

That's true for N=1 (SFR), N=2 (duplex, half-occupied by the owner), N=3 (triple-decker with owner living in one), or N=50.
Sure. I’m not really an expert in how they work but if you speak Spanish they’re easy enough to use.

Most cities have private bus companies that run their own routes. Where the bus is going is posted in the front on a piece of paper and you just hop on when you see one. The companies compete with each other so the routes often change, the prices are low and supply always meets demand.

Colectivos are a different phenomenon. In certain meeting places there are combi buses (12 pax vans basically) each one going to a different place usually a suburb or a neighboring town or a landmark outside of town or somewhere within commuting distance. You pay a small fee and the driver will sit there until all the seats are full, and then drive to the destination. Sometimes you sit 5 min before departing, sometimes 30 min. But usually it’s not so bad and it’s far and away the cheapest way to get these longer distances reliably.
