I have rarely seen an entrepreneur execute the same plan that the person had since the inception of the idea. That's the nature of the startup, you have to keep pivoting to avoid a crowded space, discover new markets when you have an insight. If you haven't pivoted then you probably haven't discovered an untapped market. Building a startup is all about testing hypothesis and running experiments. More often, these experiments fail and you have to create a new hypothesis. You will be surprised how often people have similar ideas and the unique idea you think you have is not so unique and have lot of execution nitty gritty. I have seen later stage orgs pivot too. And boy, pivoting is an art too. You can pivot when you are selling none or selling a lot easily. When you are selling few, you have a hope that the product might work and you get stuck in the chasm. I'm glad these guys have found a way to get out of it.
Narrator: They don't.

When I think of Hackernews, I think of US Gen-Xers that don't realize they're out of touch yet, because so many of the comments act this way.

That WSJ article's first paragraph and your response suggests they were only able to Poll teenagers.

> “Who’s green?”

Has come up many a times. For me in SF, where everyone is so tolerant of everything except the horoscope signs you couldn't chose and your text message color. And many other places in the US. Amongst adults that can't be on their parent's health insurance anymore.
Question: As a professional hardware designer, what software/packages do you generally recommend for high-end EDA? I've played around with KiCAD/NgSPICE, Altium, and MultiSim/Utilboard, but I'm really curious as to what the "Big Boys" use and what differences there are in performance and features.
Indeed. As much as I would like to use Ruby or Raku for this type of stuff, I keep coming back to Perl because it's simply... there.

Sure, I could probably install Ruby on any machine I want it, but it's not just technical availability. Socially, Perl serves as a quite obvious Schelling point. I don't have to convince four other people to learn Ruby, because Perl is what everyone would gravitate to even in isolation, again because it's just... there.

(That said in recent years I've had to switch to Python for some things aimed at a younger audience. Oh well.)
Of course. But not all of them all the time.
And we are dramatically better off than a century ago. Teasing out what's correlation and causation is not easy work.

> So what has Oberlin really learned?

That their insurance premium will rise only marginally next year.
Again this is disanalogous. Kim actually perpetrates these hideous crimes to this day. The Queen inherited what you're describing and oversaw decolonisation, today largely serving as a figurehead. It'd be like blaming Hirohito's children for the crimes of Hirohito. Children don't inherit their parent's debt.

What you could blame her for is not doing more to dismantle the monarchy's non-figurehead powers from the inside. But what you're trying to do is something else entirely and rather gross.
Housing really started to shift in that time frame.
At some point it will become difficult to buy speakers without smart features, as it has already with TVs. Sometimes you can avoid activating those features but sometimes you have to turn them on in order to use the device. This is a net loss for consumers imo.
A few things:

1. The total ranking is wholistic, it includes pressure felt both by peers and by faculty. Given "being the adult in the room" might include reigning in peer-pressure that's probably fine.

2. FWIW, It was ranked much better on "Administrative support"

3. Tolerance for conservative speakers: #197/203 (obviously there is a lot of self-selection of liberal students going to Oberlin, so it would be very easy to be the only person with a particular conservative viewpoint, and even easier to think you are).

Disclosure: My sister graduated from Oberlin 20 years ago. She was an avid line-dancer at the time and would change out of her boots before going back on campus.
Generally, they don't hate the institution itself, but rather the administration, or at least aspects of it. It's a classic youth rebellion against authority.

They generally love their friends, love many of their teachers, and the environment, but they hate those who would enforce anything against what they think is right, or nice, or prudent.
> I'm surprised the insurance will pay for this.

Yeah I'm a bit surprised by that, too. The negotiations with their insurer must have been really something. Only thing I can imagine is that they cut some sort of deal that makes it worth the insurance company not trying to fight with them over it. Maybe they have to basically pay it back over time with interest..?
Keeping a server running costs you X/hour. Having a lambda costs you Y/invocation. Which is cheaper depends on the number of invocations per hour. If you have 1 invocation per hour, a lambda will be cheaper. If you have 2 million per hour, a server might be cheaper.
I still break this out for nerve stapling every now and again ;-)
> Edit: Apparently this is a unpopular opinion. All I am calling for is that punishment meets the crime.

Have you heard of "treble damages"?

I think treble damages are easily within the realm of fitting the crime. And the full $30M before interest is less than 3x the $11.5M in combined bakery and legal losses.

Also, you have to factor in the chance of getting punished. If a parking meter had a fifty cent fine for not paying, nobody would ever pay.
I’m in Italy and as long as you have the phone number, you can just use whatsapp. It’s the de-facto standard and everyone has it. I really don’t understand the problem.
your comment is asking the reader to make the same generalized leap about “US student(s)” that the student made from the poster so…
"Code" should be made mandatory reading for every "educated" individual.

It is often frustrating to meet otherwise intelligent people who have the most outlandish ideas of "What a Computer IS" and "How it Works". The invention of the Computer was truly a Quantum leap in Human Civilization. Today the World literally is run by Computers and it is most important that everybody gets the proper idea of what this "Machine" is with its Capabilities/Limits.
Getting strings to have the right encodings should be easy. On the last Perl codebase I touched it's proven impossible for all practical intents and purposes.
Then do $100k -> $10k. Yes, maybe too expensive for an average consumer but not out of the realm of possibility.
I tried searching again but failed. I think I probably heard a mention of it on a podcast since I can't find a link. Maybe the Reason Roundtable? I am 90% certain this was FIRE I'm recalling.

I was caught off-guard because I generally agree with FIRE, and my first reaction was that this was an exception. It made me rethink about my reaction to the verdict. I can't think of another organization that fits this description in my mind. But I could be wrong!

I will continue thinking about where I saw or heard this and leave a link if I can find it.
Ah, but then you have adults "self flagging" as children to be awful.
I also have the same question. In my limited experience as the father of an eleven year old, it has continued to be much more productive to redirect profane or vulgar expressions of frustration away from people and towards problems ("Swear at problems, not people.") than to bubble-wrap their vocabulary.

It is a poor public statement but the leader also probably needs to distance themselves from it in this official letter for the very reason of this discussion. They use some phrases that are particularly poor. Really their PR team and crisis communication team should do better, but I have seen worse.

“I was not here. The reason I am here has something to do with what happened.”

I would guess most of Oberlin’s leadership from the time of the incident has moved in. At least those who would be seen as culpable, fair or not.

Edit: yes, basically all new leadership since the incident: https://www.oberlin.edu/president. It may seem like they are distancing themselves, but, well, they are distant from it. They have probably spent their time at Oberlin cleaning up other people’s messes and are fairly exhausted by it. Not an excuse, but you can imagine it has lingered over their tenure.
> 1) Users don't want to deal with installation.

That is definitely one of the top selling points for web-based solutions, agreed.

> 2) ... At each stage you can do something visible and useful

BTW is this still true in 2022? My totally out-of-nothing guess would be that SAAS offerings and website builders have made people with HTML + minimal JS knowledge next to useless.

> 3) Most investment goes towards companies adding value to the web, and companies that do that will tend to use web technologies first.

OTOH, I have been involved in a project where the web was found to be superior to the alternatives. It does have to do a lot with (no) installation, though. A related project, OTOH, is moving their UI from Swing to the Browser. While this is just the UI, the remaining code was written in Java, not native.

I think I do agree with the claims as long as Java/C#/similar get added to the "native" side of the argument, because I really see them eating C/C++'s lunch, and this is only going to accelerate with Java becoming more and more independent of a separate JVM installation.

> Also important that #2 means that developers that can work on systems where web solutions can't work (things that really need C++ because of realtime requirements) are paid a substantial premium

I haven't found this to be true, but my experience is limited, and it probably depends on country / region.

There's all kinds of people in this world and we can all live and have incompatible ideas.
Just as you have your position and defend it, so will I. This clash of ideals of various parties I believe helps bring out the ideal solution eventually.
The path of adding additional punishment onto the individual/company for the sake of deterrence I believe is the lazy/easy solution. I believe there are smarter/more complex solutions that require more work but are ultimately more just and fair.
We might see things differently but I believe we both want a better society and we differ on the way things may be achieved.

Ask HN: Anyway to get Google to call for 2FA?
I'm trying to log in to an account and I have a working phone number which google said it sent texts to but in the past as now I never receive these texts. I used to be able to get google to call to send the number but that option is no longer there. Is there anything I can try?
Yeah, I was wondering about that. I would expect that, at a minimum, the insurer would raise Oberlin’s rates and/or required them to make changes in policy.
That’s a very good point. It seems like the densities are relatively similar as well though [0][1]. Not saying they’re the same, but even the fact that they’re in the same order of magnitude was surprising to me. Seems like filling a 1km^3 with wood could offset all CO2 emitted for over 20 years!

My guess is Oberlin pays them a whole lot of money every year. And will pay increased premiums moving forward. For the insurance company it may be a no brainer to keep their business. It will pay for itself in 5-10 years.
I just spent some time looking around that site.

most of the example complaints they highlight are just students saying they don't feel comfortable speaking up or they had dorm mate issues.

Does not feel like a good way to rank a school's actions to hinder speech (as an institution/administration).

Does have some better real examples but large majority I read were not.

Just because you don't feel comfortable doesn't mean someone is stopping you from speaking.

You can't force someone to live with or listen to ones ___ whatever religion, hate speech, crazy liberal ideas etc.

And yes.. Most young people are pretty open minded and fairly liberal.

If you hold views outside that box you should speak them! But you can't be made if people judge you or the majority speak themselves against those beliefs.

I don't see how those common complaints are a school forcing someone to be silent or punishing them for their viewpoints.

Maybe I'm being too emotional given recent court rulings/direction of my country; Which is probably why I took so much time on that site and commenting.

But your speech !== that I will listen, or not judge you, or allow you to be around me.

A lot of the religious court rulings (PrEP most recent) feel like these complaints. Freedom to speak/express your religion does not go so far as to control my choices and my body or force me to listen to you.
> That's not really an example of a "chase-and-detain policy", nor was it a "suspected shoplifter"; by the time anyone was chasing anyone else, it was a matter of assault.

I was under the impression that punching and kicking turns shoplifting into a robbery, no?
Ask HN: Books for Learning Software Architecture
I am a CTO (by virtue of being the founding engineer; straight out of college) at a 5-6 year old startup.

We have bootstrapped our way till here and are now looking for funding.

An investor asked me what our technical architecture was. I began to explain to him with a lot of hand waving. After a while he stopped me and told that there are several kinds of architecture like 2-tier, multi-tier, microservices etc. What kind was ours? I could not give him a satisfactory answer.

I realized that it might be helpful for me to understand these architectures and apply them in our context.
Can you please recommend me some good books that might go into details of various kinds of architecture?
We actually have science on specifically plain ECMAScript versus TypeScript, where the software written in the latter has 15 % fewer bugs. https://blog.acolyer.org/2017/09/19/to-type-or-not-to-type-q...

But of course, the study does not account for if increased development time cancel out revenue gained from lower bug count. (And this will be a difficult problem in general, due to first-to-market effects etc.)
This appears to be wise. They can also activate immune cells in the nose

Sentencing guidelines are for criminal convictions. This was a civil case. There are also no punitive damages in criminal convictions. This area of law is a bit nuanced, and the details matter. In the US, criminal punishments are not ratcheted up based on your wealth. I believe there are some Nordic countries where this is done, with traffic violations at least.
It's funny how 15 years ago, if we asked for this study, the perception of which party that description belongs to would likely be flipped.

Well not funny. More sad and terrifying.
Not very at all. Nobody talks about the president. The chancellor is who is viewed as the leader of the government, and who is talked about regularly. President is hardly mentioned - anecdotally, never.
The Semi-Satisfied Life
Eh. It allowed banks to have in house investment banks. They still needed to have walls that dealt with conflicts of interest between the two. Whether the walls work all the time can be disputed.

But you seem to have offered no substantial link to the existence of MBS securities and the repeal of Glass-Steagall. so your conclusion, that arbitrary deregulation, lead to the existence of MBS securities should be even more disputed.

MBS are probably more clearly linked to the complete takeover of the mortgage market by the government. if you turn debt into a commodity you can divide it up however you want. and you turn debt into a commodity by guaranteeing it.
Not the same kind of turbine. Internal combustion turbines are more cost-effective than steam turbines.
"Internal criticism is silenced" is an... interesting view of the left. A more common view is that endless leftist infighting is one of the things that makes leftists ineffectual.
Because large vessels require a lot of expensive ongoing maintenance. You can’t mothball it without wearing that cost and the builder is bankrupt so can’t afford it.
Hopefully, it also costs them in plummeting enrollment as students realize that getting an education from an institution that willfully ignores facts might not be a great idea.

One can dream, anyway.
As someone who used to be a part of the Minetest scene, it's not even remotely close. While it's low-end requirements are better, it runs remarkably poorly for what it is. It's (default subgame is) a decade behind Minecraft in terms of usability/features. It's barely maintained, especially after one of the big modders and graphics developers died to a heart disease.

And with the mods, it's only "easier" at the very surface level. Unlike the Java-edition of Minecraft, where anything can be changed, you are limited to their modding API in Minetest. And this API is thin.

No dynamic skyboxes, no full entity rotation, no way to handle subgrids. Entities have huge pop in/out issues and forget about anything crazy like having animal heads rotate to face you. No custom keybindings, no overriding mouse controls. Forms have terribly poor ergonomics and it's taken a few years now to have elements displaying at the correct coordinates (for a while, different elements had slightly different interpretations of the grid). Tons of stuff is hard-coded, like how tools work, damage calculations, HUD. And none of this can be added or changed without a fork of the underlying C++ engine codebase.

For the longest time they had no client-side modding and when they added it, they ended up barely having anything in it. So if you want a mod with some kind of vehicle, it is a complete hitchy mess since the client-side's would interpolate wrong and need to be forcefully corrected by the server dozens to hundreds of milliseconds later.

I spent a lot of time making mods for the couple folk I played with. I eventually quit because it was so frustrating trying to work with that engine and constantly jury rig and compromise solutions. Went back to Minecraft for those times I want to play a block game.

I know I'm being a bit brutal, but Minetest doesn't stand a chance when the expectation is set that it is/will be in the same ball park as Minecraft's level of quality or moddability.
Lol a few careless moments with a woman would end his lifestyle in a hurry. When the judge orders 20% child support they'll impute the income at whatever you can make slaving away at a desk, not what you make in a relatively carefree life with fish and wildlife. In California that would be $20k+ (post-tax), so basically almost all the post-tax income of a low level fish and wildlife worker, assuming you're even lucky enough to get the full-time job.

I lived a somewhat similar life basically enjoying living outdoors and odd jobs and travelling and volunteering until I had a kid; would not recommend consorting with women unless you want to be on the hook to pay rent and chained to a desk for 18 years.
It was about $200k in compute.

Is that even something they're doing on purpose? Didn't they completely botch their attempt at a new major version?

When Python moved from Python 2 to Python 3, introducing breaking changes, there was enough velocity and acceleration in the Python ecosystem for people to be willing to take the pain.

With Perl it's inertia. So even if the language designers and package maintainers wanted to make breaking changes, they couldn't, because people would just stop updating. All that's left to do is to drag out the process of this ecosystem rotting away.
There's your first mistake - thinking logically and rationally about the issue. Anymore, these kinds of issues have become religion.
I think the British Monarch could in _theory_ have some political power as parliamentary bills go by the monarch for approval. The Queen always approved them of course.

The romantic in me likes to believe the Queen would step in if the British parliament tried passing some truly terrible bill. Basically acting as a last stop gap of human and British sensibility. Though with Queen Elizabeth II gone I'd have less trust in the judgement of a monarch.

Part of me does wonder if US politics would've been much different with a ceremonial figurehead. And that'd be a fun alt-history where a great-great-grandchild of George Washington is the ceremonial head of the US government and has to deal with intrigues of Washington politics while just wanting to live quietly on the ancestral Virginian home.
I would have thought the same thing, a year ago. It's a low-effort provocation either way, though. The thread has nothing whatsoever to do with Saudi Arabia.
