OP I'm in the exact boat. I'm in my 30s, been in startups for the entire time. Although I'm a go getter and very resourceful individual, I feel like I've made every single mistake that may have been avoided if I talked to someone that was in my shoes before.

That being said I don't regret anything at all.

If you're looking for someone to trade notes I'd happy to hop on a call and see where it goes.
Apple's problem is that they wanted things that the NFL literally could not offer. Such as the ability to include NFLST with the base Apple TV+ subscription

The NFL's contracts with CBS and Fox require that NFLST have a minimum price in the $300 a year range, in an effort to protect the local audience of CBS and Fox affiliates

Additionally, I think Apple wanted to do unique things with the broadcasts and might have even wanted to produce it themselves, but Sunday Ticket is literally just rebroadcasting the Fox and CBS productions of the games

It wasn't as much about the NFL just expecting to get its way, Apple was also kind of over-expecting on their end too and not understanding the thing they were bidding on. The types of changes Apple wanted to do were never, in a billion years, in the cards

>when the market structure or incentives encouraged it.

I think one argument is exactly this. There has been a march towards a market that expects a constant supply of cheap shit. When all the margins have been wrung out of globalization, reduction in quality provides the next mechanism of lowering price.

People know where to find $150 denim that lasts, just like in times past. But there has been change in expectations that makes $25 denim the norm.

It’s one thing to build wind farms in the flat and shallow North Sea. It’s quite another to do that on the Japanese coasts, where the sea floor is really not flat at all.

Really, the North Sea is the ideal case for offshore wind. It is very windy but easily accessible and with a nice topology. Almost any other location is worse or much worse.

> Way, way cheaper than nuclear and can get online much faster.

It is not way, way cheaper. It is cheaper than nuclear if you consider only nameplate capacity. Once you account for the load factor it becomes worse. The capital cost for the wind turbines EDF is building in the UK is broadly comparable with the nuclear equivalent. And if you include the storage that will become more and more necessary as the share of renewables increases, it is much more expensive.

It can get online faster, true, and it does not have the same issues regarding waste. They are also more modular, because you can build only 5 of them, whereas you cannot build a half reactor.

That being said, it still has issues with waste because we cannot really do anything with the turbines once we decommission them. Also, whilst they are operating, each single turbine consumes several tonnes of aluminium each year.

No, but I would gladly repair it for them and explain the danger, if it were a family heirloom.

For example, I recently helped a friend get his grandfather's 1949 Airline Television working. There were some interesting aspects of that circuit.

Back in high school(1980), my chemistry teacher, Mr Tchalo had an old conductivity demonstration apparatus that was essentially an incandescent light bulb in series with two copper prongs that would dip into a beaker.

After explaining how it worked, he would slowly pinch them together, then challenge us to do the same. I never tried it. As I said, anything more than 12 volts or 15 amperes, and I get scared.

Mr Tchalo was from the old school of teaching, he had been brought back from retirement to fill out the staffing levels required for certification. He spoke with a heavy accent and had some seriously thick glasses, his eyes had been injured in a gas attack in his childhood in Macedonia during The Great War. He was one of my favorite teachers ever.

You're down-voted, but you have a valid point. The cost was much higher than just time. Depression, addiction, lack of exercise, general happiness all took a tumble and they all had a large and disregarded cost.

Flash did skip frames when it couldn't keep up, and this is what any animation framework would do as well for HTML5, or video in video players and so on.

We don't have a well established (in people's minds that is) framework and IDE for it that did all Flash did. But actually I do believe we have everything in place in terms of APIs and capabilities, and in fact even more, because... have you seen some of the WebGL animations? PixiJS? The others?

I doubt. WebGL + the rest of the web stack is way more powerful than Flash EVER was.

Mindshare matters. Without an established IDE and people knowing about it... it's not happening. Another issue is that Flash-like content was notoriously mobile-unfriendly. So we do less of those types of UIs now. Not that we can't... but it's harder.

>Intuitively, it may feel like the number 0.999... gets closer and closer 1 to without ever reaching 1.

The actual proof is almost never discussed, but it is hidden in that statement. By definition of the equality of real numbers two real numbers either are the same, or they differ by a fixed positive ammount. It is easy to except that 0.999... nears 1 arbitrarily close, but that is already proof that they are the same.
Chest freezers cannot be compared to household kitchen refrigerator-freezer combinations. There's way, way, way less complexity.

* No need to split & balance the refrigeration between fridge & freezer

* No expectation of a defrost cycle on the freezer

* Generally less stuff: no water or ice dispenser, less lights, less fancy bins & trays & veg drawers etc.

* Chest freezers get opened less, and the top-opening lid lets less cold out when they are opened, and without the defrost cycle the compressor just doesn't have to work as hard.

* Usually greater consumer tolerance for these items being large/heavy machinery so the designers don't even have to worry too hard about keeping things compact.
This is a smaller deal than the NFL wanted. They also wanted to roll up some ownership in NFL Network, and include the "NFL+" streaming service in this package. I don't think YouTube's deal includes that

Also, I'm very curious if DirecTV will have a deal with YouTube like they do with Amazon for commercial distribution. The technology of video distribution in commercial establishments (like bars and restaurants) using DirecTV equipment is extremely mature. Consuming and distributing more than a dozen streams over the internet and distributing to multiple dozens of TVs using YouTube TV as the source seems....problematic
Comparing ChatGPT and Google results side-by-side
Hey HN, I've been digging into chatgpt in the past few days using my list of topical interest, and some select intents I've been randomly researching in the past few weeks; and specifically on summarization, new topic exploration, and execution-planning topics, ChatGPT strongly outperforms SERP results.
OK, cool, but you didn't explain how does that fix wealth inequality in Switzerland or make wealth taxation fair? You just described a tax declaration system, not a taxation system.

Anyone can declare assets anywhere but if they're not taxed, or taxed very little, then inequality grows. So does Switzerland do this better or fairer than other countries?
On top of it there is the awful truth that the ‘scientific method’ is not really practiced.

In junior high school I remember getting taught about the scientific method, particularly the use of controls. I wrote 5 papers and didn’t use a control in any of them (it wouldn’t have been appropriate.).

Even in cases where people obviously should use controls, such as clinical trials, they frequently don’t. There was that paper where they measured vitamin C levels of COVID-19 patients but didn’t compare it to a baseline of people who were not sick, which is problematic in many ways.

When they do meta-analysis by the Cochrane methodology they usually throw out at least half of the studies at the beginning because of glaring methodological flaws. Practically it is not much better than anarchy in terms of what gets funded and published.
So they finally figured out that "self driving" was really just a divisionary/marketing tactic with lots of legal liability?

>I would gladly use 10k lines of code to save one moving part or one switch

This creates a whole new reliability problem. Software reliability is notorious for its interface failures and there can be many more of those modes (where hardware typically has a few wear-out style failures). I think about my relatively high-end TV that seems to always struggle with software updates without any glitches. It seems like we've just been lulled into accepting software glitches as the price of having software control everything. Luckily, most of the software is not safety critical.

I think this is one of the dangers of relying on software to close reliability gaps. Yes, you can change it quickly and cheaply and it's versatile, but it's often very hard to identify all the failure modes.
I'm intrigued what the planned architecture is for the web front end. I'm guessing WebSocket back to a persistent process on the backend/server?

So all operations happening via the websocket connection. Only the GUI in the browser? I bit like Phoenix LiveView.

This would be a really interesting toolkit for building real-time UIs for remote processes.

Your first two paragraphs seem to contradict each other. I guess I disagree with the first and agree with the second.

If you're going to build a plant that requires active backup cooling in a tsunami zone then you should protect your backup cooling system from tsunamis.

It's ok to build nuclear fission reactors in challenging locations. We have many that run underwater and a few dozen that run in outer space. We ran one under the ice sheet of Greenland and one in Antarctica. As you say, you just gotta build the necessary infrastructure.

Wealth isn’t zero sum but power over law (as defined by who has influence over the rules we live by) is.

When you have concentration of power due to concentration of wealth, the society will become unstable and undemocratic.

So even though wealth isn’t zero sum, wealth inequality is a problem that needs to be addressed for long term stability.

"Free market" has an actual definition.

And no. There is not, in fact, a truly "free market" in the world, in the sense that people frequently talk about in terms of "the free market will solve XYZ". Because it's an idealized abstraction used to talk about the theory and philosophy of market economics.

I don't claim to be deeply conversant with the theory, but I do know that a truly free market requires:

1. Commoditization: The products or services need to be effectively interchangeable, aside from features and price on which different vendors can compete

2. Perfect information: The buyers and sellers all need to be perfectly informed about all aspects of the products or services (including things like, "was this made with slave labour?")

3. Unconstrained ability to choose: The buyers must have no constraints on their choice beyond those actively under competition—they can't, for instance, be lying on a gurney with their appendix rupturing while deciding which hospital to give their "business" to. They also can't be so hungry that they must buy food now or risk starvation, or under such tight financial constraints that they must choose the very cheapest option or risk destitution.

If a given market does not exhibit even one of these characteristics, it cannot be considered a "free market" of the type we should expect to arrive at the ideal distribution of resources.
Sure, but why do you think they'd adding both? Solar for intermittent, and nuclear for base.
You also have the lever demonstrated in this article. You institute more automation, self-service, and cut back on services (like daily room cleanings) that a lot of customers don't really value.

That's a bit hard to argue. There were plenty of early meltdowns in the 1950s and we kept on going. Now as we add it all up we see that fossil and biofuel combustion kills the entirety of commercial nuclear power industry's lifetime death toll ever 8 hours. And nuclear is low carbon and 24/7 and low footprint. So yeah it still looks pretty darn good. Hence Japan's announcement.

I've recently liked the metaphor of science as a four stroke engine.

Unstructured observations -> hypotheses -> structured observations (experiments) -> confirmed hypotheses.

I think that unstructured observations of new phenomenon doesn't get enough credit in general, thought some fields seem to be all phenomenology and little theorizing. But in most it's hard to write grants for unstructured observation of a phenomenon and you have to pretend to be doing some specific experiment to get the experience necessary to be putting forward real hypotheses.
Sure I'll give COVID and drug ODs their due in knocking down our overall life expectancy, but if we don't address the impacts of late stage capitalism (late stage Reaganism), we're missing much of the story. Ask yourself:

1.) How many Americans STILL don't have access to healthcare?
2.) How many Americans who have access to healthcare underutilize because of cost?
3.) How many Americans working physical jobs are having their bodies destroyed because of lack of workplace protections?
4.) How many Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and have to make hard decisions every month about food?
5.) How many Americans live in isolation because our economy encourages a nomadic existence even (especially?) for high income workers?
6.) How many American children are raised without supervision because their parents are trying to scratch out an existence at low-wage jobs?
7.) How many American children are separated from a parent by incarceration?

I could go on and on... Most Americans don't understand what they're living through because most Americans have no lived experience outside of our country.

No country is perfect, and it's hard to compare the USA to other nations, but there are many countries (mostly in northern Europe) where the average person is much happier and much healthier than the typical American.
