I toured three in open houses while house hunting and considered putting in offers. While they can be interesting and pretty cool, you are spot on. They really are quite space inefficient.

They feel nowhere near as big as their square footage listing. Our target square footage of 2500-3000 square feet required an equivalent of 4000 geodesic. The smallest one was 2700 and it felt downright tiny. Their round nature makes room partitioning awkward and unless you purposefully put ceilings on rooms at the top level, you’re going to have situations where the master bedroom opens up to the kitchen via the roof.
You are right. Imagine the possibilities of this being used to create rich backstories for authors / games though.

Perhaps the next iteration will be called CiteGPT and will be able to substantiate the claims it makes.
It was incredibly unethical.

VCs defend it because they were riding along w Neumann the whole time, throwing more and more money into the trash fire as the we work valuation rose to insane levels. And of course they were the first to get out with a profitable return before things come crashing down.
It can't be that bad bad.
So how did Neumann personally have enough money for the downpayment on $1B worth of property?

Do mortgage providers consider it enough to show a signed multi-year tenancy agreement as sufficient collateral to offer a 100% value mortgage, and therefore Neumann didn't need to put in any cash himself?
People complaining about the oxygen program have been suspended for 7 days. We expect this will reduce the amount of complaining substantially.

I do agree with you. I've had more positive feedback than negative and there's been a cohort of supporters who seem to enjoy it.

Def have to be careful about building features, throwing darts, etc. For this project the genesis was that I wanted to use the product myself and didn't see it in the market; I wanted to scratch my own itch, so I did indeed just build it.

But when I initially did a Show HN[1], the client wasn't far along other than supporting the basic chat feature. By the 2nd Show HN[2], the client had matured a bit and it both withstood the hn blitzkrieg and led to people from all over the world having realtime public conversations - the core idea in action. But people were asking for expected features including tags, search, message permalinks, and other stuff that wasn't there yet.

So that's what I've been building since...

All that said I could be blind to my own biases and it's taken awhile to bring it to maturity. I've also had slowdowns due to outside normal job stuff etc.

I'm a Platorm person who has been tasked with setting this up for some data shovelling for a data team at work. Would not recommend.

It's a pain to deploy/monitor and you'll have to abandon any hopes of reasonable/sane declarative configuration management. Everything eventually needs to be done through the UI, which is just buggy and painful.
Their hot-desk monthly membership is around $300 without discounts. Not cheap but probably cheaper than most dedicated office rents.

Regus is a chain that has been doing this exact thing. I worked at a startup that used one of those. A lot of the other tenants were lawyers in solo practice.
Raivo runs just fine on my desktop, although it does ask for my thumbprint randomly (known issue).

If you're using 2FA with SMS, just stop, or switch to something like Google Voice.
I'm not sure I understand the perspective that people like Neumann have anything admirable about them. All he has "discovered" is the one of the oldest lessons in the world -- it's pretty easy to sell something when you can lie as much as possible. Or put another way, that if you're willing to ignore the rules of society that most people agree to, then it's pretty easy to take advantage of the system.

Now I know that not everyone could be as convincing of a liar as Neumann, but most of us have the ethical boundaries to not really try. So all you can really say is that of the people who are morally bankrupt enough to try to steal as much money as possible, he seems better at it than average.

Not for 5.0, the aim of 5.0 was to focus on getting multicore support out of the door. Thus only mingw64 is supported for Windows. Support for MSVC will come with later versions. At the same time, improving opam ecosystem support for Windows is one of the major goal of opam 2.2 . Thus hopefully the support for native Windows will improve in the future (next year?).
Not just page size and typeface, how about those books with 100+ chapters, clearly just to increase the page count, as a new chapter ends the current page and the new chapter starts halfway down a new page. And don't get me started about those crazy large margins.
Yeah... around here shelters separate out 'barn cats' from 'pet cats', barn cats are tolerant of people but not really socialized to appreciate people. Rather than taking an existing pet cat and putting him or her to work, I'd try adopting a barn cat and putting them to work. Often, barn cats do retire and become pet cats towards the end of their life, if circumstances allow.

Of course, cats can cause a different sort of trouble than mice. :D
This is only sort of true. While not having ADS-B Out does limit where you can fly, it is not illegal to fly a civil aircraft without ADS-B Out equipment. The following rules are the most relevant:

If your aircraft is equipped with operable ADS-B Out equipment, it is illegal not to turn it on. 14 CFR 91.225(f).

If you wish to fly in Class A, B, or C airspace, within a Mode C veil, or in Class E airspace above 10,000', you must have ADS-B Out. 91.225(a) and (d).

There is no rule implementing a blanket requirement for all civil aircraft to have ADS-B Out.

You would be surprised how much airspace this leaves open to aircraft without ADS-B Out. You can in fact fly across the entire country, legally, without it.

And in my experience ATC could not care less whether you have ADS-B Out. 91.225 is riddled with "unless authorized by ATC," and practically speaking, in thousands of hours of flying I have never seen an aircraft turned away because of a lack of ADS-B Out. I've asked some controllers about this directly and it makes no difference to them.

EDIT: I should add that in Musk's case this ADS-B business is all a little bit of a red herring, because the second you get radar services, your data is public regardless of ADS-B status.

You can do it on a hill. Draw one up, of your choice, and you will find that in some geometries, there are nearly straight arcs other than the equator. So you can remove portions, so long as you support the remaining intersections appropriately.

I have always wondered how Neumann was able to afford all of this. Did he sell shares of WeWork to SoftBank? Obtained some loans giving illiquid shares as collateral? I really don’t understand how these founders get so rich with a money losing business without selling shares in an IPO. Sounds like a financial engineering orgy.
Are you sticking with it or using something else?

Were you self hosting or using cloud?

We're considering this vs. Fivetran.
He seems to be misallocating another cool half bill of investor money into his pockets [1]. From pretty much the same investors. And with an idea that has suspiciously similar overtones.

At this point I don't know what goes through the VCs heads. Are they just in denial about the previous failure, and they are doubling down like a degenerate gambler at the casino? Are they confident that if they get on early, they will be able to pass the bag to someone else, so they don't give a flying fuck? Or is Neumann able to create alternate reality force fields around him, like Steve Jobs? (Unlike Jobs, it seems Neumann doesn't transform anything but the numbers of zeros on his bank account, though)

I literally don't have the faintest idea of how these people think.

I swore that this one was about the finding only person who had the same issue but who then had posted 'fixed it' soon after. That's even worse, it's like being stuck on the island and watching the S.O.B. walk on water into the distance.

I'm getting an inkling that there's something related to Christopher Alexander's ideas on end-user programming that is somehow related to community supported software. That in order to have software designed for community interests and have people involved fairly compensated, it involves end-user programming in some way.
he's a conman, when the public supports his polling, the choice is democratic, otherwise no. Here, the public didn't like his premise so he eliminated the options that got "misinterpreted" to manufacture a consensus.
I am continually surprised at how many people don’t wear masks at places like the grocery store even as cases are rising. I got covid over the summer and it was horrible! I lost two weeks of work which was a lot of money to lose, missed multiple dates with my partner I would have really enjoyed and felt totally isolated. Then I felt fatigue and brain fog for months afterwards. Afterwards I got the bivalent vaccine so I do feel more protected now, but there’s still a risk.

Wear a mask and wash your hands folks!

I used it in São Paulo for a monthly subscription of BRL 750, something like $150. I also noticed that there weren't a lot of people there. I thought that was due to them focusing on leasing it to companies instead of individuals. But overall it was a pretty pleasurable place to be in, but they could definitely make it cheaper.

For your daughter tinkering with a distro, yeah Fedora sounds awesome :)

For the old ladies, no: Fedora has a short release cycle, and no LTS; not great for maximal stability. "a version of Fedora is usually supported for at least 13 months" ( https://endoflife.date/fedora ), while Debian is security-supported at least 5 years! ( https://endoflife.date/debian )

Debian's whole project architecture & release cycle is built towards being stable bedrock, I see virtually no reason to use anything else if you aim at max. stability and don't care about running old (but still secure!) software.

Yes, "how can we simultaneously protect while also healthily socialize children?" is a difficult question to answer as a potential future parent. Social acceptance (to a degree) is critical to healthy development, while some of the most common uniting social tools (for previous generations, high levels of consumerism and signaling; for now and the future, near-constant technology use) are viewed by some parents as unhealthy and lead some to want to abstain entirely.
How could they sue if you legitimately purchased one of their discarded drives? When you bought it whatever was on it became yours and I doubt their CEO would like their data floating around like that unless it's considered useless.
Bulwer-Lytton was, in his time, a best-selling author, and one wonders how well he'd be remembered now if not for the opening words of Snoopy's ever-beginning novel in the Peanuts comic strip, which (if I am not mistaken, and it likely is I am, but I don't care because this my comment) served as one of perhaps many inspirations for the opening line contest, which is of course as far as Snoopy ever got, being a better Sopwith Camel fighter pilot, vulture imitator and serial doghouse-layer uponer than he was a novelist.

Most "chocolate" products really have little, if any chocolate. Google says Hershey's milk chocolate is only 11% actual cacao. Still, plenty of people eat 85-100% cacao dark chocolate, or even savory chocolate foods like Mole in Mexican food, which I think should be considered separately from, e.g. chocolate flavored candy. Interestingly, cacao is one of the best dietary sources of copper, and it seems plausible that getting more copper this way would overall reduce risk of cardiovascular disease [1-3].

Salt batteries ...

> Why can't we track losers, too? Make sure they are going to work or school and not just draining the retirement accounts of their parents?

Doesn't work that way, poor people have no power by definition.

The separation of powers isn't just something between a handful of elites such as Congress members who can impeach and convict the POTUS, or a bunch of judges, generals, chiefs etc.

The ultimate separation of powers is that there are ultimately 8 billion of us keeping an eye on each other and preventing an individual from going rogue and engage in selfish and anti-social behavior, and that is true whether you are a journalist, President, judge, general, chief...whatever and also billionaires.

It's pretty much an accepted concept, by everybody, except from your guy , the guy you are defending so much who'd absolutely love to be the unchallenged and undisputed dictator of the online world, and tomorrow the physical world.

There are probably more companies making powerwall type products than there are car companies. For example, emergency power generation companies like Generac have them, there's an ecosystem of companies competing with Jackery that are attacking it from the bottom (ecoflow, bluetti, etc), a lot of solar and solar-adjacent companies have one (enphase, myenergi, etc).
I came across this contest earlier this year when I read Money[0], a 1840 play by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Still fun to read and the basic stories of romantic comedies didn't change that much since the ancient greeks.

It's very difficult. I was lucky to have access to the internet in the late 80s and have watched it grow, mature, evolve. I know how quickly things can change, and I don't want my kids to miss out or be left behind. But at the same time, the dangers that exist today didn't exist even in the 90s. My biggest fear then was receiving an email virus.

Now, Social Media alone is enough to make a parent take a step back and wonder what is the right time to introduce your children to the internet.

Our solution, which isn't perfect, is to use a parent control app. Kids can use their devices for X hours and only certain times of day, and we have to approve each app install or purchase made on the phone. It feels like too much control, but the alternative is too dangerous. And even still I walk in on the kids to see what they are doing.

It's a balancing act that will take time to figure out. We are evolving as a global cultural, technological race, and evolving fast.

IMO most popular non-fiction books don't have enough content to justify their length.

I'm not saying that the content is bad, or you shouldn't buy the book. The book is just padded out so you feel better about buying it. Who would buy a 40-page book for $15? The book gets padded out to 200 pages by repeating itself, adding filler sections, anecdotes, graphic design choices, etc.

I am happy to see books get shorter if it means that they have less filler.

> "Today the European Union has taken a crucial step towards tax fairness and social justice," EU economy commissioner Paolo Gentiloni said.

There is a saying in Poland: "The difference between <<justice>> and <<social justice>> is the same as the difference between <<a chair>> and <<an electric chair>>.

I wish we would actually listen to the those countries, when it comes to topics like socialism and communism. Though I suspect the Western European countries need to taste that themselves first to be able to understand what that means.
"Both parties are anti-immigration in practice. The only difference is in their posturing to their respective bases around election time."

Looking at the vast share of immigrant population in the US, "anti-immigration" means something very different from what I would expect.

Orbán's government in Hungary is anti-immigration in the classical sense. Last year, they received 40 asylum requests - out of more than half a million total in the entire EU.

https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/infographics/asylum-appli...

That is what I would call a real anti-immigration policy, at least when we judge policies by their visible results.
