Shifts in language, culture, and scientific understanding can make it very difficult to actually stand on the shoulders of giants. I interpret the platonic ideal of objects as simply doubling down on the part of our brians that classifies stuff. People getting obsessed with unreasonably large breasts aren’t chasing some ideal outside of their own perception of the world, they just get stronger signals from some neurons in their brain.

Such ideas are hardly novel, but in subtle ways largely incompatible with a great deal of philosophy. Continue down that path and language stops having abstract meaning and logical supposition becomes irrelevant. Simply using the same words to describe something doesn’t mean both expressions have the same meaning.
I forgot one book. The Elements of Programming Style, Kernighan and Plauger
It's not a "trend"; it's established science.
I have another theory. I'd argue more people are getting attention/becoming famous because of monetary success, i.e. being rich (and I don't have a good theory why that is). The assholes/jerks aspire much more for attention and thus are much more visible. The ease of getting attention nowadays also plays a significant role.

An example I like is in basketball. A lot of tall players aren't good shooters. People wonder why, like are they launching the ball too high and messing up the angle? Are their hands too big to precisely control the ball? Are they lazy and not practicing? Seems more likely to be this same paradox - if you're short and can't shoot, you never make it to the NBA.
Seems to work! Thanks!
The resources that we have now is way better than what we had in our time. The interest amongst students have been more or less the same.

>that given an average Indian programmer, they are more likely to be someone who got educated in a substandard setting among unmotivated peers

This too has not changed much from our time to now. The changes I have noticed in students is the rise of memorizing leetcode type problems due to the plentiful jobs now which need this skill for interviewing.
Ask HN: Frameworks for evaluating startup and product ideas
What frameworks do people use to evaluate if an idea is worth pursuing as a product within a small startup? One of my favorites is Mike Maples' piece on Building Breakthroughs.
I don’t understand why you would be concerned why people don’t appreciate the pattern.

And then not seem to understand why they wouldn’t…

There’s no benefit. He’s clearly totally out of his depth and whoever he is listening to isn’t giving him good advice.

Tesla and SpaceX have physical products. Twitter isn’t, it’s an advertising platform. That’s very different.

Tesla engineers didn’t have any options for similar companies to go to (until recently). Not a lot of rocketry companies out there either. Programmers have TONS of jobs. You can’t push them around so easily.

He had a very clear executable vision for Tesla he could articulate and motivate with. Same with SpaceX. No one knows what his Twitter plans are out side of “make it better”. But no one knows what that means, so it’s hard/impossible to follow. And he’s not articulating it.

Frankly it’s incredibly clear he doesn’t understand the product. Users don’t like Twitter, they like other Twitter users. So you have to be real careful not to drive them away. You know what advertisers don’t care about? Twitter. They like twitter users.

His changes to verification/Twitter Blue showed he didn’t know what the point of verification was (something many get wrong). That plus the terribly executed initial layoffs (and general uncertainty) destroyed moral and trust.

If he wasn’t running at 200 MPH his decisions might work. I haven’t heard anyone defending Twitter’s old headcount. But the way he went about layoffs was super counterproductive. Twitter Blue sucked, but using it to ruin verification was moronic.

Everything after that just reeks of desperation.

There’s no master plan. There’s no 4D chess. He went out in a ledge he shouldn’t have been on unprepared and is now trapped with everyone watching him fall.

Read this thread. It made a ton of sense to me.

A missile needing to dynamically allocate memory is already a ridiculous idea.
That was in my mind for the entire length of the article, and I readily went to the comment sections expecting it to be addressed. I saved, from a previous job and just for curiosity's sake, a Pantone colour book that I was told wasn't usable any more because it was several decades old and the pigments would have faded or changed from the original tones.
Give HN readers some credit. "Conspiracy" does not mean "something a reader does not understand," or has failed to challenge their thinking or knowledge about. Nor do baseless or ignorant comments necessarily come from conspiracies.

Argumentation does not fight misinformation. Study after study shows that people rarely change their minds, even when faced with seemingly incontrovertible evidence. We have an innate bias to accept information that confirms our beliefs and reject information that does not. No amount of argumentation will sway a convinced flat earther or QAnon believer.

Someone linked a good long while back a model of corporate development, which started at a "happy warrior" phase of making stuff, relatively uncontested & unchecked, & phased deeper & deeper into conservative just holding market & personal power. Thats more a macro-picture, where-as this focuses aroumd the micro-, the person, but I feel like perhaps somewhat there's a relationship, in that the environmemt shapes the possible behaviors. I've tried to find it a couple times but searching for "happy warrior" lands me nowhere, whatever permutations I try to add.
There is vm2 [0] for nodejs, but if you look at the issues there are escapes found occasionally, even some this year. I think it's too risky to run untrusted code on node.

You could run a headless chrome using puppeteer, then run workerbox. But it's probably too much overhead for a server app.

Oh, if you're making a form builder, I have to recommend json-editor [1]. It's not mine and I haven't actually used it just (I've only found really recently), but basically you give a JSONSchema and it will make a form for you, with validations and conditionals all built in. Might come in useful.

It's more about the negatives of pervasive electronic surveillance. The marginal benefit to the business of catching employees taking a break (which, honestly... they're probably all overworked and should have more breaks anyway) does not outweigh the downsides of our inexorable slide toward being monitored as we do everything.
Didn’t this all die a death because of NFT bullshit or did I dream that?

A reminder that this all nearly happened in the US with SOPA and PIPA, which would have brought internet censorship to the United States, ostensibly for stopping the sharing of copyrighted material (at least, to start with).

The internet banded together on that, and Congress hasn’t dared strengthen copyright laws since in over a decade of fallout. I think it’s a shame we can do it again for Right to Repair and DMCA 1201 repeal, but it’s odd to look back and know how close it could have happened here, and how it still could if we lose vigilance.

It runs on a federated network where you connect with contacts. When you create a topic you can add or remove contacts to the topic. To your point about 'propagate out forever', there is no server-side replication; your contacts pull directly from your node. When you delete a topic, the data is deleted. Let me know if you have any issues getting the project to work, I am really eager for any kind of feedback.
True, though in this specific case sites weren't using SSL back then. Virtually every site was just vanilla http.
True, but in many respects that failure mode is academic, and localized. Normal people who aren't way too online don't sit around and debate whether women have penises or if men can get pregnant.

It's possible that this becomes something that is no longer an academic question.

I am not affiliated with the folks here, but I think this is a matter of opinion and where it diverges.

I am part of several channels that like to have a native feature request / bug reporting in Discord => once the thread is created it sends the ticket to JIRA / Linear

The issue is that the alternative with communities is people sending you DMs with requests so its hard to keep track.

As a community user, I can just /command create_request, fill in my description + screenshot and send over to their team to process

The Diligence That's Due
You may have to clarify a bit more about what's wrong with the precedent they seek. Stating that it's bad to force install apps on one's phone that track them doesn't seem very abuse-able to me offhand.

Not sure what you're saying about standing, either. Seems like they've at least plead to a reasonable injury that the state should have jurisdiction over based on acts caused by the state & Google and they list various remedies. Now the other side can argue with all of that, but the pleadings don't seem obviously defective to me.

There is a more simple explanation: that these are the folks who actually want to go "hardcore" and build to some actual vision.
>in the current economic climate EVs win against petrol vehicles so esaily when it comes to running costs that the tax credit is not needed

It doesn't really, if you're interested in keeping car costs low.

I bought a compact car new in 2014, and an estimate that significantly overestimates gas costs would put my total fuel expenditures at $7000. Throw in another $400 for oil changes. As I look at EV purchase prices (comparing a Honda Civic to anything other than a Leaf), the disparity is significantly greater than that even discounting any energy costs for EVs and neglecting NPV of the extra money tied up in the vehicle.
I assumed the rssi thing was there from the start, apparently mistakenly.

If it's any consolation to the original engineer it feels like a non-trivial thing to add
I've been driving a Bolt as our only car in a family of 4 (2 children) for a couple years and it's fine. Small, but gets the job done. We don't road trip at all since our vacations mean going back to the home country, so I understand it's not for everybody, but also it's totally a fine car. A joy to drive too.
I have sat and road in a NIO, and it is far and away better than a Tesla. However, I do think most any brand will struggle to keep up with Hyundai and Kia. They are going to be dropping EV models left and right over the next few years, and their early models are already seeing success.
Obviously you can't say what or details, but - do you know if it was successful at that?
Right, every time I felt trapped working on a problem into the evening became MUCH more easy to resolve the very next morning after a good night's sleep and the ability to seek outside help/resources from others who are also at work at that time
I doubt anyone here would have any use to know about this, but Unity 2019 doesn't recognize the newer Let's encrypt certificates, or at least PC VRChat doesn't.

That is why you cannot use Let's encrypt certificates when serving any content to PC players with HTTPS.

What is really fun is that because of a certain type of content hosting world in VRChat, a lot of people have manually installed these old certificates in Windows which makes it incredibly annoying to troubleshoot unless you know about it.

While it sure wasn't fun to try and troubleshoot that, I still very much enjoyed what I was doing.

When you get into the creating side of VRChat you learn a ton of specific stuff and you are forced to work around some really narrow limitations and that is so fun.
You just expressed how I did car competency with my kids.

The best was snow!

Tip for parents who are teaching snow driving in a front wheel drive vehicle: get the car moving and set the emergency brake. The rear tires will lock and the rear end will be all over the place. Pick a wide road with a forgiving shoulder.

They will have to counter steer and keep the front of the car under control. Later, trigger a slide with that brake (assuming your car has one you can use that way) and watch them handle it like a champ!

We had a good time frankly. Drove an older, manual car. Minor damage was not a big deal. Made the whole experience nice, reasonably relaxed, fun.
I don't doubt that this is what you prefer, but for the foreseeable future it's going to be a heavy and expensive car. You'll be paying a pretty high price to save about 20 minutes on a 10-hour trip.

Currently leading solutions for fast road trips are rapid charging or battery swaps, but you will have to stop a couple of times.

Here's timing of 1000KM (~620mi) trips:

In line with what a sibling comment says, it stops being about the person themselves, and what their actual performance is, but about adherence to arbitrary rules. The computer says you took X number of unauthorized breaks this past year, so no raise/promotion for you. Employee has still been getting their assigned job done, and has been doing it perfectly well, and has stellar feedback from customers? So what! It's the rules that matter more.

Often a manager will not have any say over these things. "The metrics speak for themselves!"

Regardless, I don't think we should design systems with the assumption that the people in charge of them will be compassionate and reasonable. There are a lot of petty, corrupt (in the moral sense, not financial) people out there in positions of power over others.
It also doesn't mean that I consented to receiving marketing emails when I overlooked a checkbox at the bottom of your order/checkout page when I purchased something. Ethical companies will make this an opt-in choice, not opt-out.
The car has long enough range for daily commutes and errands, so home charging only needs to complete overnight. Fast charging is only necessary during long road trips. At least, that’s true for the vast majority of people. In the edge case where you drive two hundreds miles, come home, then start another long drive, you’d need to go to a rapid charger.
The comment has many levels.
to let that sink in
Trans men are typically former lesbians, and the existence of lesbians have also been largely ignored in society. I don’t think this is anyone’s fault—I think lesbians naturally try to keep themselves out of the limelight.
Why should people automatically disbelieve word-of-mouth any more or less than they should believe it, as long as they are not making it into some kind of conviction from which they base significant material action?

Also, is nobody asking questions? I've seen multiple people doing so, including you.

Also, in your accusation of racism, you are making assumptions about assumptions.

Also, is positing that there are H1Bs among non-white tech workers "immensely racist", or is that dramatic?
Wasn't the y2k issue programs that stored numbers as binary coded decimal and only allocated one octet (i.e. two digits) to the date?
This analysis is highly dependent on where you live and where you drive. I live in the Southeastern US, and there are routes between my large city and popular vacation areas where fast chargers are not present yet. So it's less a matter of not wanting to stop as much as it is there's few/no chargers between here and there. I would imagine other parts of the world are in a similar part of the deployment curve. Even Tesla only relatively recently opened a supercharger on the interstate in that region; we are still early in the cycle.

(Also, it is not smart to put family in a vehicle and drive with only a single charging option for hundreds of miles around the area where you will exhaust your battery. What do you do if that charger is closed/out of service?)

I hear your push-back, but there are valid reasons to be concerned about using a technology that is still in the "deploying" phase. Everyone will adopt when it is comfortable to them.
I was shown that way basically. Works well in my view. Just need some room.
I'd love it if it waited until the video's actually done, like on YouTube.

Note: I work at YouTube :P
>1. Incorruptible supply

Not inherent value.

>energy must be expanded. There's no way to fake it.

That's a negative, not a positive. It means bitcoin actively destroy wealth while giving nothing in return.

>3. Self-custody that's difficult (near impossible if done properly) to confiscate by force. If you control your keys, you control your money.

It's not money, so properly described: a ponzi scheme that's harder to shutdown than more traditional attempts.

>Neither of those are impervious to failure

How fragile or not the backing mechanism is a completely separate issue.

>This is why, ironically, fiat is the ponzi scheme

It isn't. Investors (???) into us dollars don't cash out on future investors that were mostly lied to about what the dollar is. It's a tax token and people are forced to buy it.

>It requires everyone involved to believe the lie

No, it doesn't. It requires the ability to physically enforce the law. Whether people like the dollar or not, is, in itself, of zero consequence as long as the enforcement mechanism works.

>If they can't pay the military

Yes, an incompetent government can kill the economy to the point that no amount of force will work, whether due to violent opposition or lack of any remaining wealth. What actually happens is that people switch to using other stuff for transactions. It can be fiat money that's enforced by another country, or something of inherent value, like coffee beans (happened in Venezuela), salt.

>When in reality, it's just one giant cult

It's not a cult, money is always and everywhere a tax extraction technology. It's going to exist in some form as long as it's possible to tax people under a credible threat of violence. One day in history some human ancestor figured out that collecting rare thing (like seashells) and then forcing people to buy them (with actual wealth) is a good way of living and that's how it goes.

>It will inevitably blow up and when it does

...it won't be replaced by bitcoin, but by some other form of fiat money. Below all the false marketing lies a simple truth: buying bitcoin is a one sided wealth transfer, giving away real wealth in exchange for a printed from thin air token. Some people will as long as they think they will be able to sell to a greater fool in the future.

The problem is that eventually the scheme gets old and it's becoming hard to see where they could come from. People that like ponzi schemes realize that it's better to start new ones and be early. Which is exactly what happened. Btc's returns in the last cycle were pitiful. Now it's bear market and it's extremely weak - both absolutely and relatively. It's an old 13 year old thing that failed in all its stated goals. On top of that it's getting hammered by massive inflation.

Next bull cycle it's going to under-perform even worse and that will be the last time general public will think about it.
how does it enforce FS and network isolation?
They have a bunch of driverless cars driving around at night, but they've so far only been serving a handful of rides per day, and there's a waitlist to get access. So it's not really open to crazy drugged out criminal anti-tech folks OP was talking about yet. That said, I don't expect this to be a big problem given the cars are loaded with cameras. There will be people who create mischief but they'll quickly be banned from the service.
> Or that such "assignments" can be made without ending with suicide.

Well for one, it'd cause dysphoria, not necessarily suicide. Some people feel bad their whole lives without killing themselves.

But the main point is, that's why doctors shouldn't do these assignments. Why on earth should the decision of what sex characteristics to have be up to anyone but yourself.
There's new patterns. That's the point.

It's that you can't define one system in another's terms.

Someone who lives in say Tokyo would probably see private car ownership as incredibly expensive and inconvenient while someone living in rural Montana probably can't conceive of how to live their life using public transit.

An inability to imagine new ways is inherent to any system change. I'm sure people can adapt just like I'm sure someone from Montana can get used to using trains if they went to Tokyo.

I don't know all the patterns but I've got faith that people can modify their behaviors as required by at least this amount.

But I get it. You can't really see it until you do it and then it's obvious and easy.
