According to The Apache Software Foundation, its name was chosen "from respect for the various Native American nations collectively referred to as Apache, well-known for their superior skills in warfare strategy and their inexhaustible endurance".[15] This was in a context in which it seemed that the open internet -- based on free exchange of open source code -- appeared to be soon subjected to a kind of conquer by proprietary software vendor Microsoft; Apache co-creator Brian Behlendorf -- originator of the name -- saw his effort somewhat parallel that of Geronimo, Chief of the last of the free Apache peoples.[16][17] But it conceded that the name "also makes a cute pun on 'a patchy web server'—a server made from a series of patches".

In your own statement? Or just by pronouncing kubernetes correctly I think.
I had always heard that the original name for the HTTP server was because it was just “a bunch of patches”. Seems a better name for the foundation is a good thing.

Land Value Tax would fix it.

But Henry George lost his NYC mayoral bid all those years ago.
It looks like Tesla is charging $0.50 in California and 67p ($0.81) in the UK during peak times. That's a pretty big difference in charge (62% higher). Even the off-peak 54p is $0.66 and 32% higher.

A 57% charge on a Model Y Long Range would be 188 miles of range (US EPA estimate). UK petrol prices are £1.54/litre or $7.03/US gallon. Assuming a 30-MPG car, 188 miles would be $44. They paid $39.59 for that distance of electricity. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids will do a lot better than 30-MPG so the Superchargers aren't cheap compared to other available options. The average UK petrol vehicle gets over 35-MPG (6.7l/100km) so that would come in at $37.76 for the 188 mile range and cheaper than the Supercharger for an average petrol car, though it can be slightly hard to compare since different countries have slightly different fuel economy evaluations.

It is higher than California by a decent amount and home energy rates are high too. They're a lot cheaper than petrol, but at 22.8p ($0.277) per kWh, it's nearly double what I'm paying on the east coast, but it looks like California rates might be comparable.

It's not outrageous, but it is definitely higher than California and can mean that the Superchargers are more expensive than petrol stations.

Some taxes are the price of civilization. I don't know how anyone can look at our current taxation scheme and how it is spent and make the argument that what we're subject to in the US is civilized. Just look at how much of taxes go to government largesse in Washington DC and bombing people that don't look like us abroad.

It's 2023. We have the technology to run more and more parts of the government in a way that we pay directly for the things we use so that each need currently met by government is forced to be more efficient if people saw how much they are paying for that. Locally, I pay a separate fee for trash pickup. That's awesome. If all government services moved to a fee based approach, you could literally pick and choose what parts of being civilized you want and what parts you don't want.
Are there any rubes left though?

The types of people reaching out to me to explain crypto during the last boom makes me think the wells are running dry.
I don't think OpenAI has 20B to spend on Microsoft products atm.
If it's similar to California, it's high.
Are you interested in understanding it more than you currently do? I'm sure it's not too complicated a concept for a reader of this site. Maybe if you tell us a quick rundown of your current understanding of "cultural appropriation", we could dispel some misunderstandings?
You need to get out into the real world more.
I'm not sure assuming people are familiar with the process of alchohol brewing is any better.
Firstly, you are right about deepmind vs openai, woops.

While they released papers, I personally wouldn't have been happy reviewing the paper, because it was basically impossible for anyone to check (given how long Leela Zero took to get up to the same level). Releasing the network via bittorrent would have been very low cost.

I am impressed by Leela Zero, and independant duplication is still important, but it would have been even better to be able to directly compare it to AlphaZero & AlphaGo, rather than having them locked up.
Why CEO should step down while cutting staff? Staff got their money they agreed on.
The ones to handle the burden are the ones who had skin in the game (aka stockholders). And stockholders can definitely decide for anyone to step down. The workers are actually in the best, safest, position here.
I have to admit I always thought "a patchy server" was the name's origin...
I would probably try to integrate the Wolfram Alpha API some way into my AI programmer startup aidev.codes if I could afford their pricing. Says you have to commit to $1000 per year. I certainly can't/won't just pay $1000 up front and I don't know if it will really work without trying it for awhile.

If they took off the minimum commitment it would open this up to a lot more people.

Believe it or not, there are programmers out there who don't have much money who really can/are building startups.

Also the Contact Us thing is a red flag for me. https://products.wolframalpha.com/api/pricing

I live in the US and it's way worse so I normally go to the dentist in town in Germany when visiting my parents.

Other than some cleaning he never tried to sell me something other than a filling I really needed - and which would have costed 14x in the US...
There is no consensus among first peoples either. Some prefer the term Indian, some prefer other terms.

I prefer something besides Indian mostly to avoid confusion between East Indian and West Indian. When East Indians were minuscule in population, it wasn’t an issue but today there are likely more East Indians than North American Indians in North America.
Oh yes, you have a great point, those people are absolutely insane and should be locked up in mental institutions and medicated for not wanting other people to appropriate their name, and the computer industry still hasn't recovered from the destruction and devastation and ruined lives and lost fortunes and hurt feelings from having to rename git branches. /s
I assume it's int8 operations (FMA would count as 2). At least that's the case with FLOPs, TOPs for AI accelerators is basically the same measure, with the changed acronym reflecting the non float data format.
> That is NOT the same thing as NHS, which completely takes over and provides the care.

There's loads of reasons to dislike NHS care and it's genuinely weird that people who are so against the NHS never manage to hit on something real, and instead resort to stuff that's simply fiction.

NHS England spends billions commissioning care from private providers. That's why we have Priory Group, Cygnet, Operose, etc etc all providing care. (And in the case of cygnet and priory, often poor quality care).

And patients have a right to chose where to get their care - that's what chose and book is.

People who don't understand the NHS think it's a single organisation -which is what you've done here- and that's not correct. Patients have a choice of where they get elective care. NHS England commissions specialist services, and 42 ICSs commission the bulk of regular services. They're not allowed by law to have a preference for NHS providers, so if a private provider can do it for the money they should put a bid in. That commissioned care is provided by about 200 - 220 NHS trusts. NHS Trusts include ambo services, acute hospitals, community hospitals, mental health care, and community care. These NHS trusts are independent organisations that have their own boards of directors and their own accounts and they can compete against each other to provide services to particular regions. This does not include primary care which is provided by GP surgeries.

Coinbase was caught off guard because they drank the koolaid.

Crypto meltdown wasn't surprising simply because it went up so much, so fast that it was always going to come down.

In real terms, Bitcoin and Ethereum didn't perform any worse than most major tech stocks, and outperformed many pandemic tech stocks (Zoom, Peloton).

> It's odd to me that most devices support/trust GLONASS which shouldn't be trusted while not (yet?) supporting/trusting Beidou

Russia requires GLONASS support, so a worldphone needs it. China requires a lot of things, so a worldphone isn't going to work anyway.
> * You don’t store wealth in currency. *

Do you have a bank account with money in it? If so you are using currency as a store of value. This is a very common use case.

> Only poor people store their “wealth” in currencies

So are we just dismissing the needs of poor people then?

> the value will not increase, but rather rapidly decrease.

So a testable prediction would be come back to this and ten years, look at the price of Bitcoin, and see who was right.

Articles like this are part of why I love Hacker News so much. I've done a little investigation into producing hardware myself and concluded it was just too big a task for someone without the background who didn't want to put up a ton of capital or deal with overseas manufacturing. I loved reading this.
At 50 or a bit after, things begin to shift for me. I couldn't just head down crank out code as well. I couldn't multitask nearly as well. Distractions and interruptions became more of a killer.

But I could "see" better. I could see more clearly what was code that was likely to become problematic. I could see what was architecturally "smelly", and what was a better alternative.

Did that change make me less valuable? Or more? I think more.

So you may be feeling the start of that. Maybe you're becoming more valuable than just cranking out a port. Maybe this is a good task for younger you, but no longer a good task for who you are becoming.

And maybe you can talk to your manager about where you could be more valuable.
Hopefully California passes SB-926 making it illegal for stores to be cashless.

Cashless societies are evil. Advocates and supporters are the enemy of the people and deserve to be viewed as such.
Ah, that's cool. Thanks for the correction. I was misremembering the Unladen Swallow retrospective[1]. It's fair to say they used a lot fo their available time contributing to LLVM, but it sounds like that was feature work, not bug focused.

It's also wordplay to cover for the fact that many live beyond their means. Earn more, spend more.

Lifestyle inflation is more common than we like to admit.

When I made $30k per year I lived paycheck to paycheck.

When I made $50k per year I moved into a larger apartment and lived paycheck to paycheck.

When I made $80k per year I bought a new car and starting ordering food with UberEats, and well, you get the point.
oh cool, this would have been really helpful when i was working on my amateur sports startup. we needed a 2-way, realtime wireless bridge to proprietary (but analog) scoreboards (where accurate timing is important), with future plans of doing realtime tracking of players via both sensors and machine vision (like a dumbed down second spectrum). it seemed like ultrawideband (e.g., apple's U1) was going to be the future in this space, but it's been slow to materialize.

(we didn't get far enough along to seriously look into building a device, moreso trying to cobble together something via a raspberry pi or perhaps arduino)
I think 1 could also be parents actively forgetting how hard it was. I think I even read a theory that the mother's brain releases chemicals during childbirth that help her remember it as "not so bad"

I also suspect that older generations were less isolated socially and it was much more common to have parents/grandparents/cousins/etc in the same house who could care for the baby for an hour while mom caught up on sleep. It takes a village to raise a child but we have no more villages, so people try to do it on their own and discover it's incredibly difficult.

Yes, all drugs should be available to everybody. I don't trust the medical establishment to do this right, I don't trust regulators, and people have a right to die if they choose to.

I understand my opinion is outside of the mainstream.
It’s strange for me to hear takes like this. I have thousands of dollars in magic cards from the 90s, but stopped playing when I became an adult.

During the pandemic I started playing Arena, and was astonished to discover I could play entirely for free. I haven’t paid them a dime since the last tournament I went to in the 2010s.

As far as I can tell there is a HUGE amount of play on Arena. Presumably someone is paying for that, but it’s not me.

So from my perspective WotC has done the opposite of the money grab they’re accused of.
Taking over their DNS isn't going to help if they did things correctly. If they did things right each device is going to be doing cert verification with AWS IOT, and that verification will fail. That's client and server cert validation, unless they turned that off.

On reset it should still verify the server cert when it tries to call home, but since you have access to the image you can replace that (if they didn't stash it somewhere securely, that is).
The reason why they can cut fent with other drugs like in the article is due to the fact that it is an unregulated black market.

Also the reason why fentanyl/opioids are such a problem is because of our LEGAL pharma industry pushing drugs for terminally ill cancer patients onto people with chronic pain-- then regulation cracking down on said companies and forcing people to go out into the streets to keep their addiction going.

Here is a music video of Insys (the opioid company that got sued into oblivion) bragging about "titration" which was a sales tactic to increase people's dosages over time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtwFZwjCSTE&t=213s&ab_channe...

The "War on Drugs" was not initiated in order to look after the welfare of US citizens. It was to more easily criminalize non-whites and subversives.

The solution is very simple if you approach policy with empathy for the addicts themselves: harm reduction to prevent overdoses ("clean" opioids and distribution of narcan) with free rehab programs funded by taxpayers.

But unfortunately for whatever reason the United States is allergic to empathetic policy, so instead we will just keep going down this road until there is a major shift in public sentiment.
Well I think the author got one thing right:

> The “Pop” in “Pop Culture” stands for “popularity”. If it’s popular then it must be right.

And that's social media simplified. The internet is filled with pop-seeking garbage because pop was the best metric anyone could fathom. Even now the AI's are struggling to reach for a better version of "right".

But more to the author's point, yes, modern tech startups and their funders are absolutely obsessed with being trendy, even moreso than an 80's teenager (a lot of the big players were 80's teenagers, btw).
> Suppliers lobby to limit the amount of housing being built.

If "suppliers" means "existing homeowners and landlords", then sure.

If "suppliers" means "developers building new real estate", then your assertion is blatantly false. Developers have a financial incentive to build and sell as many units as possible. And in practice they are lobbying to build as much as possible, but are running into problems:

* environmental reviews a.k.a. bored busybodies' legal right to oppose anything being built anywhere and delay your project for years

* regulations limiting how many units can be built on a given lot (height limits, parking minimums, zones prohibiting multifamily buildings)

* regulations making construction unnecessarily expensive (e.g. NYC regulations making it prohibitively expensive for most projects to operate a construction crane)

* racist local politicians who fight tooth and nail against any new units in their neighborhood because then people with the wrong skin color might move in (this applies to local politicians of all skin colors; e.g. see https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2022/03/03/har...).

Do you have any insight into why that happened?
> Of course you do. That's like saying that you don't end up $100 in debt by having a deficit of $1 a day.

You do not. 100lbs is excess of 350000 calories "stored" and for every extra lb one's BMR increases. By the time someone is 100lbs overweight just to maintain that weight they would need to consume another gallon of ice cream every day.

You are playing with margins when you are 1-5lbs overweight.
It’s delusional to think that a lot of people from those countries you mentioned wouldn’t want to swap lives with one of those oppressed NYC workers in a second.

If tech companies are pop cultures, then HN is Teen Beat.
I am interested! I mean that genuinely. As a member of a few different cultural groups (Russian, Jewish, United States), I always have enjoyed people adopting pieces of my culture. Especially food.
I agree -- I found the author's definition distracting to the points being made.

> The “Pop” in “Pop Culture” stands for “popularity”. If it’s popular then it must be right.

No -- popular culture is simply what is currently popular.

The popular culture could value novelty and uniqueness -- inherently "unpopular" things. That's not the case today, but it fits the definition of pop culture.
Clearly, business owners still have access to low income labor, otherwise there would be no one serving the tables or collecting the garbage. If employers can't find staffing, they can raise wages to make their job offers more attractive.

I don't think the problems you stated exist.
How would you get a quick MVP of PCB + needed interfaces? I'd love to know if there is a PCB design as a service + manufacturer that allows small size of order (as a 3rd party integration). I think they definitely exist .. I just have to figure out who to talk to first.
Out of curiosity how scientific or not of an approach did you take on the supplements. For instance I can't imagine you did double blinds on single supplements but did you start taking a bunch of stuff at once and assess later you felt ok? Tweak one thing at a time? something else?

Question for HN crowd: What would a small startup even do in this case?

- Talk to a lawyer?

- Wait for customers to contact support, or send out an email?

- Explain that a third party cloud service was at fault, or just give some general apology?
No worries. But I think that points out something of a hole in the argument, no? If the generic `you` is what you intended to mean, isn't that a blanket assumption?
> In countries with state pensions, some of the taxes are saving for retirement.

It's only saving for the retirement of government workers at the expense of the private sector. That's pretty clearly theft. There should be absolutely no government programs give benefits to only government workers paid for by non-government workers. You're basically robbing Peter to pay Paul.
In Norway and Sweden you can only buy alcohol from the government monopoly, and they have a national ID system so they can monitor consumption (I don't think either of them still do this since the days of ration cards though).

So you could do something like that - it's available but consumption is monitored.

The main benefit would be taking all the money away from gangs.
I read everything and it the most ridiculous, useless and unnecessary cause I have seen, and this is coming from someone very much to the left of center and very interested in the causes of minorities.

First of all the posters assume they actually speak for all natives, which I find unjustified. They are one group of natives who happen to hold a certain set of opinions, as entitled to them as any one. The reality, in the same gist as the people who have complained about the use of "master" as Git name, is that they are a loud but irrelevant minority holding an opinion on a matter that has no benefit to anyone.

It is also apparently implying that any idealized representation of a minority group constitutes "erasure", as if certain cultural stereotypes were a sin. Every idealized telling of a story is going to omit details and be reductionist; every outsider perspective of a group will have some sort of stereotype because there are hundreds of minority groups out there and nobody has the time to engage in a deep investigation of each. That doesn't mean idealizations are bad, or negative, or actually useful if they're going to be retold in a historically precise manner (symbols need to be reductive to be useful in idealized contexts). Symbols are symbols; the rationale for the name is interesting and innocent.

There's this awful trend in American minority militants that seem to get worked up about truly innocuous causes and stereotypes that are harmless, and at their very worst naive. As someone who's been around groups that have fought and resisted serious minority causes, it just shows their powerlessness and inability to fight for actually useful causes. It's just a huge waste of their breath that shows their lack of credibility.
