I'm amazed at that reaction from Sequoia. He was basically saying "I want to build Tencent's WeChat app." Except that WeChat does more.
I have to admit that I’ve never myself been in such a position. Even with work-from-home, I’m still within driving distance to most my coworkers. And I can see how living so sparsely from each other makes socialization difficult.

A friend of mine moved to a different country last year, and is in a similar situation: living and working far away from her team; no coworkers in her vicinity. So, now she mainly hang out with her new neighbors, and friends made from dancing class.
Cluckbait.
I've been wondering about this for years. If VCs make thousands of bets, knowing that most of them won't work out but a tiny number will be huge and more than make up for it.... won't people eventually learn how to game this system and hoover up the money for 99.9999999% or 100% useless purposes, instead of just 99%?

Or, the world will simply run out of trillion dollar ideas for the VCs to make their money back on, and eventually your 1% of good investments don't cover the 99% of shit anymore, and you have to improve your due diligence, and become more of an ordinary investor?

Nobody listened to or remembered the interview until a couple of people pointed out how prophetic it was with hindsight.

Levine found SBF pleasant to talk to and he's amused by financial chicanery.

At the time he said it sounded like a Ponzi, and SBF agreed, but after FTX blew up, it turned out to be so much more.

They didn't have an accounting department. Reporting makes it sound like they didn't even know what real accounting is. SBF was quoted as rejecting the concept of books. As Levine wrote more recently, their alleged balance sheet was mostly "magic beans" and cobwebs. None of this was part of the interview.
This is really the death of open source software as a mainstream thing. Here it is, the golden opportunity for decentralization and open source to solve a large societal problem. And it fails miserably. Open source can’t survive in a world where computers and software aren’t esoteric, mysterious, status-signaling to be a part of like they were in the late 90s onward. Computers are just mundane. There’s no more reason for greyhound to go open source and be powered by volunteer labor than social media companies.
There were guides like this for every single new internet thing for as long as I can remember. People wrote books on how to use AOL.
Can't you use "Strict Origin" cert on Cloudflare? Here is a pic of my settings: https://i.imgur.com/aHQ1U1L.png

Sorry if I am missing something here. Cloudflare gives flexibility to their customers. That seems right.

Cloudflare enterprise is pretty transparent if you've gone through the sales process. They tell you exactly what the limits are. For average person, on free plan, they are not obligated to provide details of where the limits are. That's no different than BackBlaze unlimited storage plan.
The answer is lack of generics in all previous versions of Go. There's no way to express a generic interface to have methods for map or slice (which are not interfaces, but compiler magic instead). All the operations on builtin types must be implemented as globals handled by the compiler.

> Twitter is basically running on autopilot now since a large amount of people left or were fired.

"Running on autopilot" is probably an even better analogy than you intended. There have been incidents of pilot incapacitation in aircraft, in which the aircraft continues flying for a long time following its programmed autopilot targets, until the fuel gets exhausted and it crashes. See for instance the 1999 South Dakota Learjet crash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_South_Dakota_Learjet_cras...), the 2000 Australia Beechcraft King Air crash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Australia_Beechcraft_King...), and a few others (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontrolled_decompression#Gra...).

The Media listen to their customers no matter what. When they found that they got more eyeballs and revenue by talking about a certain former president, they covered him more.

If you say Twitter and Elon you're going to get more clicks than if you were to say YCombinator and Paul Graham even though the later two are vastly more important and educational for me.
I don't understand the motivation either, but I think what they are attempting is to make e.g. typing cialis into Google suggest specific queries like the one i showed, which may be so overspecified they provide the spammers' links.

Basically every airplane company. They all relied on NACA airfoils and cowling designs through the 1950s.
I’ve worked at a lot of places and for researchers was my worst job ever by far. I’ll never work for someone with a PhD again, as Sheldon Cooper’s attitude towards engineers is no joke.
twitter is mostly run in their own datacenters, and does not have autoscaling. so capacity overall is more or less fixed, though how much capacity is given to each service seems to be human adjusted.

the lack of autoscaling at twitter, imo, is worrisome as it sort of hints that the system might not be as mature in the self-healing department as compared to other large tech companies. time will tell.

you are right though, you don't need thousand of engineers to keep twitter running a few weeks. you also don't need a driver for a car driving a straight highway (until it bends). how many engineers are needed for maintenance? who knows. I don't think we have answers, we just have what elon decided.

disclaimer: facts based on twitter threads/online reading, not a twitter employee or anyone with first-hand inside knowledge.
Some tests work fine in a single drop of blood. Some need more volume to pick up the very tiny concentrations of what you are trying to detect, particularly antibodies or antigens.

If you're trying to find a needle in a haystack you can't grab a handful, look at it, and say "nope, no needle in this stack!"
I think people are just surprised that it takes so much work because we thought things would get easier as time went on. It's actually the opposite though as more technologies have been developed. There's way more things involved in the stack and all of those can interact and break in their own interesting ways.

There is also just frankly more traffic to serve because of mobile devices, so more things break at scale.
Okay. She's probably not on HN either.
Assuming for the sake of argument that playing back mp3s during gameplay is beyond this device, resampling the wav files to halve the sampling rate when extracting them certainly isn't. You'd get half the storage back, the audio presumably wouldn't suck any worse than it already does on that little device, and it should all work since the 44.1Khz sampling rate isn't baked into the wav file standard (but who cares, you've got the Quake source code anyhow).

It'd be an interesting exercise to see how much you could lower the sample rate without it sucking. On second thought, you could convert stereo to mono first, without even worrying about the sampling rate, and get half the space back. But I'm sure you could do more.
Nope, love LISP:)
As as PM my headspace is very much split on this.

On one hand I totally get your arguments, it's what I would expect my engineering team to say and they are often right.

On the other hand I am watching this space utterly intrigued if somehow he manages to pull it off.

If he does it might say more about the engineering team left than him though.
Thank you for linking the actual lawsuit earlier, I found it informative. That said, I'm trying but I'm not seeing what 'precedents' they're weakening, other than that the government can't force install tracking apps on one's phone without consent.

Seems like they ask for a lot of declarations that this was unlawful and they shouldn't do it again, $1 in nominal damages, and attorney's fees.

What sinister plans am I missing here?

Just for reference, I voluntarily installed a Covid tracking app on my phone.
> Also, if you look at the two recent times the US accused Syria of chemical attacks, both turned out to be misinformation, as determined by the international body that investigates these things. Yet the first time it "happened" was called back to as evidence that they "did it" the second time, even though neither even occurred.

That’s a misleading summary of their findings. The OPCW was prevented from conducting any on site investigations in Saraqib, meaning it could not conclusively prove the use of chemical weapons. That doesn’t make the claims ‘misinformation’. In Aleppo the claim was made by the Syrian government against rebels, not by the US government.

The Fact-Finding Mission wasn’t able to visit the site of the alleged incident or the hospital where injured victims were treated. It had to rely on data including interviews, hospital records and videos and photographs.

Its investigations and analysis “did not allow the FFM to establish whether or not chemicals were used as a weapon,” according to the report issued Friday.

And there is substantial confirmed evidence of the Syrian government using chemical weapons against its own people, such as at Ghouta amongst other places. [0]

The ‘life’s work’ metric doesn’t say it’s wasted - it ends up folks pockets, of course, eventually. And some of that will of course also go into things which are more than ‘just’ living.

It’s what it was directed to accomplish, and if that activity produced something of equivalent value (or more) on it’s journey to that state, or dissipated into heat and noise.

Near as I can tell, Theranos was at least 99% heat and noise.
The thing is many will pay big bucks to contractors/consultants/IT services/LIMS systems, but if you’re an employee, nope.

They have a hard time having someone with a BS or MS making 50-75k more than a freshly-minted PhD.

I just left a job in pharma because I cannot do it anymore (salary being a big one, but my experiences reflect many in this thread).

They spent 500k on a consulting company to build a few NGS processing pipelines. This was built using a framework I was unfamiliar with. I re-factored one of them and was able to increase runtime by 60% in a couple weeks. I was paid in the low 100’s.

They would rather contract out the high-paid work and pay orders of magnitude more for it.
The force to balance though comes from the wheel torque which are from either speeding up or slowing down.
So someone asked you for money in exchange for sex, you agreed to meet up with them, and now feel outraged that the police may have tried to arrest you for engaging in illegal activity. Do I have that right?
The decision set no burden for evidence, and the dissents specifically pointed out that no reasonable civilian pilot would be flying so low. The court invented this shit whole cloth to justify the drug war fashion of the day, it’s horrifying overreach.

> Turns out the rich and powerful of Silicon Valley aren't super smart and wise folks to be looked up to.

This becomes immediately clear the first time you meet them. They're just a herd operating in a situation of high risk and uncertainty by following what the rest of the herd is doing. That's why, periodically, they all run off a cliff together like lemmings.

Seems unlikely. The US has successfully engaged in much more difficult, intricate operations successfully in the past. Here the attacker didn't even have to worry about collateral damage.

A former Navy SEAL was interviewed and stated pipelines are what they called (IIRC) "friendly targets" — it doesn't take much explosive to take them out (I imagine their pressurization helps, but I don't have subject matter knowledge).
Ruble is a controlled forex currency. You virtually can't sell rubles and exchange them to EUR or USD at the moment. Russian government imposed very strict regulation into buying foreign currencies and banks imposed heavy taxation (1% per month) for holding foreign currencies, forcing people into exchanging USD into RUB. Volume is down substantially as well.

It was a smart thing to do by Russia - it keeps ruble look strong. We'll see how long they can keep it up. Maybe in future we'll even read about it in books how to avoid currency depreciation.
I totally agree. The originalists haven’t made a very strong intellectual showing on the 4th.

You are one of a small minority of people who plug their plug in hybrid in. Car leasing companies here in Norway lease a lot of plug in hybrids because the count as electric and so are cheaper to buy. They have statistics about the charging and say that hardly anyone does it, the use chose it simply because it was a cheaper vehicle.

The chemistry requirements are minimal. You should understand the difference between ionic and covalent bonds, how van der Waals forces work, hydrophobicity, solubility, and the effects of catalysts on reaction transition states. It will also be important to understand what reaction kinetics are and what pH means. An understanding of buffers might be useful.

I would argue that, to understand the book, you specifically don't need to know electrochemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, organometallics, spectroscopy, or even physical chemistry.

Because Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is everything in this business, and the registries (Verisign etc) are monopolies for a given TLD.

The registrar's minimum cost to hold annual registration on a .com domain is a bit higher than $9.15 ($8.97 to Verisign registry, $0.18 plus accreditation and variable fees to ICANN).

The rest of your registration fee is revenue to the registrar (minus payment processing fees, and plus any upsells).

Registrar pricing is all over the place. GoDaddy used to be low-cost, high upsell. Now they are on the high end of normal pricing (and still high upsell! Don't use GoDaddy!).

A quick survey of .com annual renewal prices:

$ 9.15 Cloudflare
9.73 Porkbun
12.00 Google
14.76 Namecheap
20.17 GoDaddy

NOTE: Cloudflare apparently absorbs the accreditation and variable ICANN fees without passing them on to the customer. These fees total ~$20-45K/yr depending on domain volume -- assume the maximum for Cloudflare. So they are losing a very small amount of money with every domain they register. Loss leader, etc, I'm sure it's a smart marketing write off for them.

This is one of those rough edges where Rust is more annoying than helpful imo. It's also inconsistent.

I'd rather panic on NaN comparisons than complicate the fundamental comparison traits. Treat it like integer overflow or array bounds access. We don't have different traits for indexing that might fail or overflow that might happen. There are methods on the trait to handle those cases when you care about them.

But that said, this feels like an XY issue. If you're comparing hashes of floats as keys somewhere you don't want IEEE 754 defined equivalence. You almost certainly want bit equivalence, which means the keys should be type punned to u32/u64. Classic example is memoizing function calls with floats. You don't want to compare the semantic values of the arguments, but the literal bits. For floats that's not the same.
