Consulting can be a good starting point since you learn how to run a business, while simultaneously generating some revenue and exposing yourself to real business problems.

Also check out The Mom Test and the lectures on startupschool.org about finding a good idea.
Thank you so much for the link, there is a lot in here that is genuinely fascinating!

For instance heat from the surface “thus penetrates only several tens of centimeters on the daily cycle and only several tens of meters on the annual cycle”
> What's the best way to meet someone who has a problem that needs to be solved?

Either:

-Use your experience as an employee: you might have already seen some enterprise pain points, and you have contacts!

- Go freelance and work for clients: you will discover a lot of pain points that need to be solved with real customer waiting for a solution!

> Alternately how do you meet someone with a complimentary skill set that has similar goals? Any intermediate steps I should consider?

Lots of opportunities: meetups, conferences, local groups, coworkers, etc.
This will be news to the millions of people who have earned Bachelors of Science degrees in Education.
Not if everyone else is increasing interest rates as well, which they are. It mitigates the pound losing relative strength though.
Idk why this sounds like another business scientist with a lofty idea that will never materialize.
What sorts of improvements are you looking to make? What sorts of troubles are you having? Logic? Coherence? Sentence structure? Spelling/grammar? Finding your own style/voice, cadence, inspiration, etc.? Are you talking about literary writing (books/stories), persuasive writing (essays), technical writing, other forms? There are many different directions to take your question, so details could help!

Like many things, getting good at writing involves both a lot of reading (observing others who excel at their craft, and picking up on what makes their work stand out), and a lot of practice (whether "forced", e.g., at school, or on your own). Having a concrete understanding of where you feel lacking can help you focus on what to improve.

(For what it's worth, your writing here, at least, comes across as coherent, directed, spelled correctly, with good cadence and grammar — it sounds like you're probably looking for higher-level improvements; but I don't want to assume anything.)
I do think it would help, like even if a transaction cost 0.05c, it would add up very quickly for a bot operator but stay cheap for everyone else. But I think the problem is it would inevitably introduce the need for a middle man, shaving 0.01c off that 0.05c, with a dubious incentive to increase the amount of money changing hands as much as possible. What you've invented at that point is basically Cloudflare with worse incentives.

You get either that, or yucky defi web3 crap.
That's an excellent article and worth posting on its own.
Before everyone jumps to conclusions, note that the extension is approved and available: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ktool-send-web-ati...

The author wants to apply for the “Featured” badge. There are many reasons why I don’t see this ever happening, including the fact that the name of the app includes obvious typos.

This isn’t just a case of Google refusing to approve someone’s extension. The Featured badge is supposed to be a more curated tier.
Yes for sure, I have thought about making an email "stamp" web-3 service that would implement this. I even wanted to make some fun "pony express" animations whenever a letter was arriving to your inbox.
Yep, there are 2 kinds of ghost kitchens I've seen:

1. Ones that pretend to be a real brand name but serve out of an unrelated restaurant's kitchen

2. Ones that are 100% fake chains made up just for delivery apps that are used across the country

Before I order on apps I first google for the name to make sure they have a real physical location in my city and it's not a scam (yes, I believe all ghost kitchens are scams).
You can find them for many companies here:

Well, there are plenty of government-sponsored electronic ID solutions around. I'd be happy to use something like the key&cert on my ID card to log into a mail service.
100% this. It's not even hard today, just a cultural shift.

I'd add one additional technique: Specification curve analyses. Bonferroni etc. alone won't help against systematic bias in a field and/or misconduct, and specification curves are easy to do, e.g. with specR [1].

1. I got really lucky

2. My cousin has a connection to cheap money and invited me into a social circle where I could use it

3. I was willing to make people angry and unhappy along the way

4. I somehow fit into someone else's plan, and I get some decent scraps of riches for existing and pretending to do something important

These seem to be the main keys to success. I will admit that someone who's completely incompetent is less likely to succeed with access to just one or two of the above (excluding 4, which can stand on its own for a period of time), but if he's got all of the first 3 or 4 alone, success is pretty well guaranteed, regardless of ability or worthiness. I'm sure there are exceptions, but the vast unwashed rabble of successful people I believe have something from the above list.
What the people said here about climate being political are correct. I worked in climate for 3 years and climate companies suffer from the same problems as all startups: product market fit issues, infighting, executive mismanagement. It’s not like working at a climate company you’ll all of the sudden solve all of your problems.
It's my own experience, while I still disagree with many things my parents did, I don't judge tham as much as before I had kids, now I'm more understanding. It doesn't even mean you approve their approach, you can choose different one, but you can see how difficult it is whatever you decide to do.
I have no idea about the IONIQ 5 in terms of performance.I cannot afford it but boy is it a cool futuristic looking car. Love the design and the looks .
Keeping a Project Bisectable
Yeah it's probably the first two, money and fame. At least to be remembered.

There's also the "reality bending" aspect where you advance people further than what as normal eg. people going into space.

Probably is just a "I want to be special" deal.

edit: I also realize it's not true motivation if you're not already gunning for it without the thought of money/fame.

Inflation was already at 7% when Russia invaded and had been well above 4% for most of 2021. What part of that looks transitory?
Minimizing electronics makes vehicles that people are not interested in buying. Making vehicles that people don't want isn't sustainable. Making incredibly inefficient vehicles just because in these market conditions it is easier isn't sustainable, at some point you are going to have to make vehicles people want. Every time this comes up people say that want a vehicle with no electronics what so ever but that isn't what sells. The most sustainable path is to sell the most efficient type of vehicles that consumers will buy. Currently that is EVs and hybrids.

Also in reference to you links, gas vehicles are also largely delayed there. And from my experience there are Bolts and priuses sitting on the lots in the US, now they are charging markups on them but that is the current market. Not sure what the situation is in Canada.
There's nothing inherently wrong with ghost kitchens. A restaurant that only serves food for delivery is completely valid.

The problem is when existing restaurants pretend they're a ghost kitchen. You order from a cool new chicken wing restaurant and get an order from Chilies. You order from a new pizza restaurant and get a box that says Chuck E Cheese on it. That's just purely deceptive.

The other thing I see is the same crap food getting sold by a variety of names that are constantly coming and going.

So yeah, I was originally in love with the idea of ghost kitchens. We have so many good creative food trucks where I live and I thought we'd get good creative ghost kitchens, but instead you get tricked into buying a burger from Hooters.
This is true but the poster above doesn’t mean Monte Carlo integration. Rather, testing those methods on simulations from generative models.
I'm so sick of big tech.

They own the platform. Keep us locked in the platform. Then sell our minds to advertisers.

Incumbents can't grow any larger without eating their users eventually. Maybe with proper antitrust action we would see a new generation of healthy upstarts. New search engines, new devices, new everything.

The forest needs a fire.
Or switching out of the app and back causes it to throw up a spinner for longer than feels reasonable. As someone who has interfaced with their API I can tell you it's a trainwreck and I have no expectations that their actual backend is any better.
Thanks!

I've followed restofworld.org for a year now and it's a really fantastic site, great mission.

However their scope is extremely broad: "Everything in developing economies for Americans", basically.
Why should they increase supply if they currently make enough profit on their output? Lot of companies don't lower their product prices and produce more... And we don't blame them for that.

Me too man, me too.
If you have it already, I understand. But if you started from scratch, or if your existing mower died? It might be a slightly different decision. Electric costs more indeed but your own ears, nose and lungs are important as well.
I find computer science boring actually, it's just a skill that's in demand and I can do decently well.

Find some fire in other things and start doing them. Get immersed into guitar, how you have to adapt technique to hit certain riffs etc. Get into languages, how each country has their own slang even within the same language, etc.
Have you ever seen a tree lined residential neighborhood where no one cleans up the leaves at all?

It's like a dystopian wasteland with piles of leaves collecting on the sides of homes and in streets 5 feet high. Leaf piles don't just disappear if left alone - they turn into large piles of muddy mess in the streets and around the edges of homes and will be there next year - and build up year-over-year.

It leads to mold issues, rodent issues, car accidents, and an absolute garbage looking neighborhood. It doesn't have to be perfect - but the opposite extreme never makes sense.
Sounds cool but without being able to actually try a full course out, there is no way to know if I'll enjoy it.
The issue is that when the core cools too much it will cease to be magnetic, and then solar radiation strips the atmosphere.

But it’s not a major concern, in this case faster still means billion year time scales.
It was indeed a huge amount of computation. On Colab it takes about 2-3 hours to fold a single protein. So the resources required to fold 200 million is far beyond what most organizations have. Just as importantly, making the results easy to search and download will really impact a lot of biology.
Totally agree. I've joined companies where there was literally zero test coverage. All tests were done manually. But then if you have bad test coverage, then you shouldn't be using something like this.
You're arguing for trickle down economics, which is a hilarious fantasy made up by very rich people so they have an excuse to dodge taxes. Nothing says that less investment in business means preventing wage increases or anything else you've mentioned.
Yes, I'm not saying they're doing the wrong thing. I was explaining why the parent comment was wrong to gripe about wages since that's the whole point.
And 2065 is, as far as I can tell, not a reference to SDF Macross, as that took place from 2009 to 2012ish.
Won't Earth be engulfed in the first phase? If that's the case, Solar gasses will also drag down our orbital velocity and Earth will fall towards the core. So it won't be around for the second phase.

According to my Latin teacher, "urbs" would've been enough. There's only one important city, after all. (cf. 'ab urbe condita')
I started learning Java 20 years ago. I still use it for corporate work. Not my preference but lots of companies use it and I'm pretty good with it so why not.

If only a few engineering problems have to be solved to make it work, then it will be ready in no time. It's not like those engineering problems are hard to solve or anything. That's why fusion works so great, cheap batteries are wide-spread and everyone has 100% effective solar-panels.
He could be charged with aiding and abetting, but venue would almost certainly have to elevate to the Federal courts, as they have jurisdiction over inter-state parties. This would boil down in each case to an interstate dispute.

Thereby, my most pessimum view would be if you run an abortion clinic, it may well behoove you to not take certain routes if you'd like to avoid being a test case for interstate judicial proceedings until the Federal legislature sorts things out, or a Constitutional Amendment is ratified by 2/3 of the States. It blows, but that's Government of, by, and for the People.

Absolutely nothing says the People's definition of reasonable is going to mesh with any one person's.

I would really wish other cities followed suit. And I propose to extend this to a ban on all devices with noisy and smelly two-stroke engines: chainsaws, lawn mowers, motor scooters etc. The scooters may not be a problem in Washington, but anyone who has ever been to an Italian or Spanish city can probably relate...
Roadblocks don't block hypothetical flying cars either though.
> few months ago

This was 2 years and a few months ago, at least the article is.

> wouldn't pay them and store this food

In the article the plant pictured being plowed over is an eggplant, which has a storage life of about a week if stored properly. How exactly can we store this food for a rainy day when it spoils so quickly? Grains can be stored for long durations, but fresh fruit and vegetables cannot be stored to save for much longer than a few weeks.

Then you’re also ignoring the costs. If they won’t be able to sell some crop, why keep dumping time and materials into it? You’re just exacerbating your losses.
I've noticed the same thing. I think it comes down to social media/internet has gotten so good at capturing our attention, that other stuff like sitting with relatives and talking about lives and such just seems less interesting. It's really messed up.

The American neighborhoods I've lived in, the lawn care companies blow them into piles, and then the city collects with the truck.

There's a LOT of leaves in the northeast. They absolutely NEED to be collected. It would bury the roads here if they didn't.
Most of the devs seem to be of the opinion "we don't use it so we have no opinion", or there wouldn't be horrifying bugs in it over 3 years old.

That said, very few if any of them have involved actual irrecoverable data loss versus just requiring lots of handholding to get your data back.

edit: I suppose at the point where I'm being quoted on HN about this, I might as well link my list of encryption bugs.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OfRSXibZ2nIE9DGK6sww...

I still need to add a couple of new bugs, but almost all of them are dupes or related to one of two flaws - a narrow race in the ARC (...probably), where you can sometimes NULL dereference for fun and sadness, and zfs change-key and send -i resulting in the receiver incorrectly resetting the metadata for which key an encryptionroot is encrypted by.
Sometimes there isn’t any good options available. Persistent inflation is usually a long term problem, and their mandate is to (attempt to) maintain inflation within the 2% range. We might just have an unavoidable recession. I’m not diminishing the detrimental consequences of this, just acknowledging it is likely to happen no matter what the BoE chooses. At least this short term pain scenario should bring inflation back under control, allowing for growth and gain in the medium term.
Once you realize you only work for (aka being bribed by) BigCo to snuff out their competition it pretty much removes the guilt of not working. I used to have gray hair coming in, and after I stopped being a try-hard the color came back. I was looking so old and tired always, now I am looking and feeling spry! Enjoy life and donate all of the bribes you don’t need to people who need it through direct action so they can have a chance to nap too.
The one consistency in all parts of IT is that you should listen to your users but assume they are incompetent monkeys and ask more questions to make sure you are using words the same way.

I think this video, perhaps, would be helpful in official onboarding programs for most career paths.
I have benefited monetarily indirectly by lurking on HN for years and reading others’ thoughtful comments on a variety of subjects. Then apply some of those thoughts to my career as a developer, then later a EM. HN has been a gold mine of ideas by reading what others on HN post while interacting with each other.
The potential upside is incredibly high and the investment required to determine if the technology is so low that it's well worth pursuing.
I think the most reasonable approach is definitely the one mentioned by this activist: “The most privileged people should be the ones who start sacrificing first,” Huber told Motherboard. “It’s unfair to ask the poorest people to give up polluting activities first if the richest don’t have to give up anything.”

Now if you're starting from there and with the response "well they won't" then your plan is an answer to the question "how can we make them?" but I don't think it's a particularly effective one compared to some others that it's easy to imagine.
They actually do, a bit: https://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-05/fyi-do-wind-f...
An Early Look at AMD EPYC Performance Gains on Linux 6.0
I actually got really excited after reading the article, and the entire piece is about how "down to earth" (pun intended) the technology being developed here really is.

They are going to great lengths to make it compatible with the existing power grid (just replacing the heat source for current generators), re-utilizing abandoned mines and all.

So, would you care to elaborate why you think it would never materialize?
The vehicle you could make with a "Black smiths forge" would be barely functional by todays standards. If your standard is something that converts stored energy into motion EVs and ICE takes similar levels of technology to implement. Which is why they were both invented around similar times.
> the committee recommended major changes across the board in all sections of the act

This bill was under discussion for 3 years. Every year the JCP keeps proposing new and different changes. After all this if you have 81/99 amendments, you have to question if it is nitpicking and stalling, especially when you have things like the Finance Bill and Farm Bill that get passed in record time.

This seems like a political decision more than anything. There is also the fact that the industry does not like this bill at all, there are some powerful corporations who entered the digital consumer space recently and would be seriously inconvenienced by this move.
Right. Greed is the fundamental problem, and not "that there is not enough oil" as the parent commenter I replied to earlier suggested.
Vercel is also only free "For personal or non-commercial projects." Otherwise starting at $20/mo/user no matter how few builds, requests, or bandwidth.
With questions like 'What HN post made you money?' being tossed around, I'd expect a rapid increase in Show HN. It could get out of hand and ruin it for everyone.
Thats for sure but, where does that energy come from? I would say it comes from the earths own rotation, would this infinitesimally slow the earth rotation?

Anyway this is fascinating stuff!

Appocalypse Now – Losing our history at record pace
The problem isn't that a ship got delayed with the chips on board, they threw out months of production at the factory due to a flaw before shipping them. So switching to air freight now is just boring and sensible (and would also work if a ship got delayed too, meaning the cheaper option is basically risk free).
Much, much simpler solution --- an actual time based rate limiter:

1) Include a hidden, unique token when the login screen is served to client.

2) On the client, enforce a minimum 3 sec delay from time of screen load before the login will be submitted with the hidden token included.

3) On the server, if the hidden token isn't returned or is unknown/not found or if the delay from the time of issue is less than 3 sec., then reject the login and optionally ban the IP address after too many failed attempts.

The 3 sec delay is more than enough to discourage/prevent brute force attacks but not enough to annoy legitimate users.
A better idea would be to use custom inputs that produce "typos" that the user didn't make. E.g. you have a "zip/postal" code field and your input sneakily swaps 2 neighbouring characters at some point, resulting in error "this zip code doesn't exist". Or change 8 to 9 etc.

Or you could make a "check your input one more time before confirming" step and display typos in e.g. names/emails there.
