> Sounds kind of like the one laptop per child project that installed internet connections for each school and each laptop could store/forward messages from home (over wifi) then upload/download them once the kids walked to school.

Wow, it's interesting idea of using sneakernet. But I'm not sure that laws are allowed to use kids as couriers. But when kids becomes adult, some of them live in universities' campuses and they could substitute the post office because there might be a lot of people from different states.

> Seems a bit silly to try to setup such a complex sneaker net. Generally I'd expect hams to coordinate with local folks in person or with family radios (very common) and then use something like js8call. Even a modest ham setup (5-10 watt radio, a car battery or two, a spool of wire for an antenna, and a solar panel or 2) could network a neighborhood to different cities, states or even countries for 100s to 1000s of people a day.

Then any sneakernet is a complex thing :). In the same time I think there are 2 advantages compared to HAM-networks: 1) low entry requirements - you need to have only PC and USB-flash and you don't need licenses to run this network; 2) The bandwidth is very high, you even can distribute films, series which is impossible to do with the SW-radio.

> I suspect there's more hams about than you think, 3M in the world, around 700,000 in the USA. So that's around 1 in 500 in the USA

Having about 4% of world population, there are almost 25% of all hams. But I live in Russia :D, and the percentage is not high, like in the USA. In the same time people here tend to use torrents or pirate sites to download new films for free and it can give new users to the ADPS network in case the internet is down.
Using DOMS as a metric is quite wrong. They are very subjective and most importantly they do not occur proportionally to exertion.
I can beat you! I had both issues, cracked hinge AND keyboard not working anymore on the same PC! It wasn't even a "cheap" model, but a rather mid-range HP ProBook. Judging by current prices, it should have been around €800 at the time.

> I probably use my laptops harder than most people

Yeah, I didn't. This was basically a sedentary laptop, 95% of the time sitting on a desk connected to external screens / kb / mouse in an AC office, never in the sun. The other 5% I'd carry it around to meetings in the same building.

Since I was using it so little as a portable, it actually outlasted my colleagues' ones by two generations! So, it wasn't just my particular one that was a piece of junk.
There is no date to be found on the page but the first time it was archived by the Internet Archive was in 2009, so let's go with that.
Yeah i moved back my weights to 50/60% of max rep. No more back issues or injuries.

Also train less.

Thank you for linking this. I am currentlu very busy with other things, this reduced my FOMO a lot.
I suspect the personality trait of “willingness to break rules” is somewhat correlated with the success of creating large new companies (particularly in congested markets).

It’s not as important in a new market, but if you are in a fiercely competitive market (eg real estate) some rule breaking to advance you against the competitors is probably helpful to make a billion dollar company.

I.E. Uber, Deliveroo, WeWork etc might not be the hugely valuable companies they are today if they didn’t break the rules, regardless of how morally wrong that might be.
So let me guess, timesharing model for apartments?
Never knew Canva had $40 billion valuation. Literally no one I know uses it - people either stick with Powerpoint/Google slides or use pro Adobe products. Is it really that popular?
That's why I mentioned min wage. You're right about the race to the bottom, and I feel pretty pessemtic about the future since if you don't have to stay in the US, the incentives really are there to outsource. But I know outsourcing isn't reasonable or posibble for everyone so there always be work that has to get done here, and at least in my state, it'll be at the lowest for min wage.

I don't have a better explanation for "calmer" for now besides what I wrote about being hired faster/less likely to be fired/put under performance review or something like. I'm still trying to brainstorm the ideas in a better way and I don't want it to be specific to any particular job. (What would "calmer" look like for a full stack web developer? a product manager? a system designer? It doesn't matter but I still have to find a better way to explain it in general, maybe slower/low-stress is a better word but it always ends up as a fuzzy term that doesn't lend itself well for explaining how it's any different than regular work)
I think somewhere I actually did find one that made it clear. But I don't remember anything about it at all.

I just vaguely remember them as something super abstract, that you can work through with about the same effort as a sudoku puzzle, but you have to go actually learn Haskell to understand why you'd want one.

Then they say something about function composition, but it seems like have to already be a functional expert to know why you would care about composing functions in a consistent way instead of just calling them from a new function.
Getting out there and doing your run, or your routine in the gym, is the 80%. Other specifics will make the remaining 20%.
The problem with command economies is that the incentives are broken, not that just that central planning is hard. The established elite uses political power to keep their position.

The USSR kept it running for half a century. Give them a while.
Neumann’s track record at WeWork:

Money raised - $22B

Peak market cap - $47B (while private)

Current market cap - $4B

IPO price per share - $9.82

Current price per share - $5.47

Looking at this data, he hasn’t proven to be an incredible operator in terms of equity returns.

He has however demonstrated an incredible ability to raise institutional funding and drive increased private valuations.
Static linking against MUSL only makes sense for relatively simple command line tools. As soon as 'system DLLs' like X11 or GL are involved it's back to 'DLLs all the way down'.

Interesting business idea! I wonder if it will work, we’ll see.
Holmes' case wasn't about "losing" investors money but knowingly defrauding people with fabricated claims.

WeWork may have a bad model but there's still "something" actually there. Not with Theranos.
Whats funny is that 12 or however many years ago digg was practically demolished for taking down that blu ray encryption code but now all the censorship and astroturfing on reddit is absolutely fine as long as it confirms peoples’ biases. I’ve given up on r/all and just use r/home, even though its top5 results aggressively suggest you keep going back to the last 2 subs you visited.

When I start receiving spam at one of these aliases, I'll update my email address with the relevant site(s), then after a cooldown period to ensure no more legitimate mail arrives at the original alias, I'll use the original alias as a spam trap - any mail sent to it is learned as spam, then accepted and discarded by my MTA.
Vaccines are a modern miracle of science. They save lives effectively. Yes, we have a system that is so privatized and powerful and feeding off public spending getting ridiculously rich and the formalization of scientific literature sounds like a huge PITA and a privileged one at that—-it’s fucked up. But, vaccines work when you need them to, wouldn’t you say? Presuming you had a choice, it’s a reliable technology and we’re on a technology forum.. so, come on, no boogeymen talk here, please.
How did they expect you to respond to a survey about an anonymous company?
Look up Hannes Halven then, also very interesting.
Google was probably first when it came to managing 100s of 1000s of servers. They had the know how, they could have eclipsed AWS before they could even start. They weren’t too late to the game either, Azure started late and ramped up fast.

The scale at which Google managed to fuck up their cloud business says a lot about their DNA.

I was so excited about AlloyDB, but the documentation is crap. After two days of setting things up and dealing with their complex network configuration I gave up. Why would they make it so complex for a new dev to try their shiny new DB? Do cloud googlers seriously not think about new user experience?
When my own plane's in shop I tend to use Netjets. /s
Are they too spoiled by the early days of the internet when that would happen regularly because they were simply first? Does it ever still happen?
I think the way this works is:

1. Meet potential benefactors

2. Establish a reputation for making something, shipping it AND…make a profit with it.

3. Have great idea

4. Ask one of the benefactors to fund you.

5. Bonus points: meet benefactors NOT obsessed with going public / liquidity events but would rather own companies to help build other companies

6. Remember when negotiating your stake, 100% of $0 = $0. Definitely negotiate what you’re worth, see item 2 for increasing your worth.

Lol "our nation has a housing crisis". Cheeky bastard. Haha.
For an European it’s weird to read in the first link how renting an apartment is a soulless experience. Going vertical when the land is scarce in most of developed urban areas is THE solution to the housing crisis. Avoiding debt and not taking mortgage is a legitimate financial strategy, that may in certain circumstances yield better financial outcomes. Social life in rented apartments can be fun and community can be stronger. I guess they are solving purely American problem?
Why minimum wage, specifically? If you are really worth 120k+ it seems bizarre that you would just point to some old pre-inflation standard of pay and say ‘that, pay me that.’

In any case, it seems that it would take a fair amount of effort to convince a potential employer that this isn’t a weird stunt or scam.

Your stated goal is to have a ‘calmer’ hiring experience, but this idea seems like it will have the opposite result.
They ban thousands of accounts per day. Every day. If you can solve this problem you will have discovered a license to print money, so by all means try. But the problem is much harder than you are making it sound.

PgBackRest is working like Litestream to archive the WAL files, and for PG you can get those tools for more than a decade! Litestream is nothing novel. But you can‘t get it down to 1s, the minimum is 30s.
What happened to the US you mean. My grandfather gets his insulin for free every month.
In a wheat field, you would put the panels in vertical fencerows running north-south, as far apart as the junk you pull behind a tractor. You are not harvesting a very high percentage of insolation, but it doesn't matter because there is plenty of collection area in total. Wheat fields are very big.

On wheat you may not want to collect too much of the light anyway, because yield might suffer.

Corn is a little harder because it grows so tall. You would need high fencerows, or give up collecting much when the crop gets high.

One merit of these systems is that they produce revenue in fallow years and year-round, while the crops only produce revenue in a spike once a year.
My first thought was that this is a great idea. My second is that the 500 karma metric can become a target, and lead to lower quality posts on HN. I’m not sure which is correct.

The Facebook was a whole lot of fun before the news feed, when only university students and faculty could join. Was it the wider membership, or the wider scope, that ruined it?
> It's not immediately clear how Flow seeks to revolutionize the residential housing industry.

I never understood how he revolutionized the "office market" with that wework stuff either. Renting out horrid shared office space with a coffee machine and printer? I guess the beer on tap was sort of original? At my old office we had beer bottles in the fridge, but still... In Oslo the prices for those wework offices were very expensive as well, and there were no quite place. Why not just go to a cafe or public library (or both) and save the money?
I lift one time per week and this works very well for me. Every body is different :) It must be said I do do light aerobic exercise the rest of the days, but I would not call that "working out".
It's also a bit of a reminder that what society considers criminal and immoral-as-hell are often strangely misaligned.

It's entirely possible he was being fraudulent as well, but he didn't A. mess with icky medical things or B. cross the line as obviously.

If we were a strictly rational utilitarian society he'd be in prison for 220 years but because literally everyone is basically just shooting from the hip roughly all the time...here we are. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just I feel something we all forget very frequently.
Attaching -phobic to everything is really an injustice.

The author makes no effort to say they are afraid of technology. Nor do they really hint that they are old school. Just that the technology being USED is old school. Often times, what works best for you is what you should do. There are many more complications that make flying a plane more comfortable with technology. However, we have been circumnavigating the globe without ipads for what, over a century?

Sometimes pencil and paper is all you need. If it gets you home, there's no sense in learning to use fragile easily broken technology. Especially out at sea, where weather conditions could easily destroy such conveniences. You might be surprised at just how many hobbies and jobs use simple pencil and paper to do their business. In fact the article is fascinating strictly because it shows just how unnecessary bags full of the latest greatest tech are.

This is no different than how programmers work. I am not language-phobic because I don't want to learn the newest greatest framework. I simply work with what gets me the best productivity.
I still think it's generally terrible style to fully depend on external services (and should probably legislatively disallowed), but there are differences. You can probably get a contract over a decade from some vendors.
SQLite not being an “official” browser api was the right choice. It would have tied to closely to a specific version and limited it’s possible use with no ability to use extensions.

SQLite is exactly what WASM is good at, now the only thing holding SQLite/WASM back is a low level filesystem/block store api. But this is coming soon! It will enable so much more than SQLite too, you will be able to use custom SQLite builds with extensions, and other databases (DuckDB, MongoDB/Realm and others)
I think it would be deemed inaccessible in a court of law if there was content you could not read, or you could not navigate between content and submit your own etc. but identifying content as an ad would probably not make it through the courts (especially not if some company like FB had the resources to fight it all the way, at least in the U.S)
Could it be that a combination of sense of community, willingness (or pressure) to volunteer gratuitously and encouragement to share increases the likelihood of people stepping up and contributing software (and other things)?

Ask HN: Is anyone using the new GitHub v2 projects?
I'm really frustrated with how they developed this thing. I use Zenhub which seamlessly integrates Issues with GitHub.

For those who don't know, Zenhub manages GitHub issues(all of them) in Kanban board. This is not how GitHub projects is implemented, as every issue needs to be converted to a card and added to a specific Project.

The second problem is filtering or searching. You need to create a new view to really filter or search your "board". In a sense they duplicated issues but removed search from them and reimplemented entire UI so they look like issues.

My use case is "I want view to manage Sprint using issues", it's not possible to do that with GitHub Projects v2. Is anyone actually using to manage Sprints in GitHub, I would like to hear your experience with it?

I came across this https://i0.wp.com/user-images.githubusercontent.com/98360703/181262320-ccf26012-2efb-4f4d-9a7a-51af0ea18584.png on https://github.blog/changelog/2022-07-27-github-issues-projects-now-generally-available/ and I don't beleive it. Do they like to torture people :D?
Yeah, we have cities too.

It’s just that there is trains between them. Or buses that are not greyhound.
By « we » I mean Europe. It’s small, but large enough.

It’s fine. Différents place, different organizations. You guys also have a massive army so you will end up being right.

Something similar can be said about Charles Ponzi.
Yes, but is anyone seriously considering multi junction panels for stationary applications? When there is an abundance of free rooftops and parking lots and plenty of low quality rural land for under 20 cents per square metre it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to pay over double for less than double efficiency.
From a quick glance, Notion has the highest valuation per employee (10 Billion USD for 350 employees).

Some of the companies are really bloated imo. Canva has 3100 employeee? Seriously? Yardi lists 8000 employees but no valuation? 8000 seems like a lot, no? That's the same as Stripe, that has a 90 billion USD valuation.
You are really reaching now. It would be better to stop before you embarrass yourself too much.
I agree, but I now kinda hate that the localized versions aren't updated yet! They do have the new menu bar, but not the new design. Eg. https://nl.wordpress.org/
This claim about renting being soulless experience is just bullshit. You can perfectly be friends with your neighbours etc with just renting, if you want that is. Most people usually socialize with other circles. I have been renting and owning along the years, always been on friendly terms with my neighbours, the fact if I am renting or owning hans't been a big factor.

I also live in Europe though.

Sounds awesome.

The article makes a pretty good case for your 1968 date being an attribution error - that years before it, the rise of things like transplants, ICUs, demographic changes, etc. were already messing up costs.
There was WebSQL, which aimed to be an SQL database as a JavaScript browser API [0].

Turned out, every browser used SQLite as an implementation backend which lead to the deprecation of WebSQL.

As much as we like to paint VCs as rational economical actors, some of them (and especially a16z) are as informed by ideology as by economy.

Some prominent a16z figureheads have been talking a lot about crypto, not just about the usual value speculation and "decentralized finance" and all that but especially about the libertarian utopian visions that pretty much focus on eliminating state intervention and bypassing regulations, taxes and unions and reframing customers or tenants as "investors".

This may not be a crypto startup, but the language around it easily fits the same ideological bent. WeWork wasn't interesting because it was a real estate startup (its ultimate failure demonstrated how nonsensical the valuation was for its business model), it was interesting because of how it framed real estate. In other words: it wasn't functionally different from old school real estate companies but it was ideologically different in a way that appealed to this type of VCs. Given that Flow seems to be another real estate startup by the same CEO, it's likely that the ideological foundation will be similar.

Startups often use words like "paradigm shift" to make themselves sound more interesting than they are but I think some VCs and some startup founders genuinely want to "shape how we think" about econimical relationships, and a16z's behavior so far strongly indicates that they have a very specific paradigm in mind, disagreeable as many may find it.
> Relying on your cloud provider to give you more than 1 year notice should be the easy part

Isn't that exactly what contracts are for? Can you build an entire company on the premise that some random cloud service will always be available?

Just like everything else today, the “consensus” fitness advice is shaped to optimize profit, since it’s made up and distributed by the sales reps(personal trainer) it’s pretty much all bullshit. Like you’ll see a bodybuilder proclaiming that this new exercise is the best ever for training abs, and the “proof” is “look at my abs” but obviously the exercise didn’t get the person to that point and it wasn’t made up until the person starter as a personal trainer and needed to sell people on “one secret the establishment hates”.

In a 4-week training the trainer would rather have you come in every other day or once a week because it’s easier to schedule more clients. Makes you feel like your getting more for your money, And the trainer is going to make sure you’re sore because that makes you “feel
Like it’s working” which is easier to pitch to people than to find an objective measure you can change enough in 4 weeks that the client is certain it works and feels the cost is justified.
