I'm not making a grandiose claim that being at a startup is indescribably hard. There are lots of hard jobs.

I've also had executive roles at startups, personally know tons of founders and tons of people that have worked in executive positions at startups and tons of other people that have worked in big tech companies, management consulting firms and investment banks, big law firms and so on. An executive role at a startup is simply not some type of outlier experience from a difficulty perspective. It all comes down to core competencies.

The issue here isn't that Tracy hired someone who doesn't have startup experience, but more that she hired someone who had been removed from day-to-day technical execution for decades, whose core competency at this point was dealing with bureaucratic complexity at a scale that simply didn't exist at her company and expected him to operate effectively at a level where you need to be significantly more hands-on.

This has nothing to do with startup vs big company. If you put this person as a line manager at a big tech company, it wouldn't go so well either. On the other hand, big tech L6/L7 type managers would be perfectly fine in these roles.

Not quite what I'm saying here but a similar perspective:

News aggregator SmartNews lays off 40% of US and China staff
In spite of all the excuses you provided, US birth rate is 1.64/woman. IIUC, Norway, Finland and Germany have free colleges, universal healthcare and excellent welfare and yet their birth rates are 1.48, 1.37 and 1.53. India and Bangladesh have pretty terrible social welfare and yet their birth rates are ~2.0.

Clearly there is something else at work here.
> This demonstrates that the transformation is independent of whether the preceding velar sound is palatalized or labialized.

But that's not really what I was asking for. The claim was that (0) we used to think the centum/satem split reflected a single division in some ancestral language, but (1) now we have evidence that it actually reflects several similar independent innovations.

So I was trying to ask whether (for example) the loss of the first nasal in a satem-side word for 100 is independent of whether the same sound is lost in other satem languages, not whether it's lost independent of a particular phonetic context within the same language.

The idea would be that if all the satem languages feature the same set of changes, that's probably just one split.

We can provide an example from the centum side; Latin (and English) preserve the nasal (ceNtum / huNdred) but Greek does not (heka_ton). But that's not enough to say that Hellenic centumized independently of Italic and Germanic; perhaps they all centumized together and then Greek's N was independently lost.

I still don't understand why Tocharian being centum in the east would be considered to contradict the theory that the centum/satem split was one ancestral innovation as opposed to many independent innovations. bradrn explicitly links these two concepts, and so does wikipedia:

> It is no longer thought that the Proto-Indo-European language split first into centum and satem branches from which all the centum and all the satem languages, respectively, would have derived. Such a division is made particularly unlikely by the discovery that while the satem group lies generally to the east and the centum group to the west, the most eastward of the known IE language branches, Tocharian, is centum.

( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centum_and_satem_languages )

But what's the connection? That looks like an unrelated fact to me.
It's a position of honor and integrity that carries a burden of the public trust.

If people are exposed as underhanded scoundrels, they should be stripped of the privilege of being in c-suites.

We have rules by the SEC that do similar things for other crimes and analogous rules for other professions like law and medicine.

If someone abuses a child, they can't be around children anymore, if someone gets a restraining order because they're being harassed, the harasser is restricted as well.

When someone does egregious crimes while acting as an executive, they shouldn't be allowed to be an executive any more
No prob. I think it’s a great idea

I recently listened to a Huberman Lab episode[1] where he mentioned one of the strikes against highly processed foods was the emulsifiers and similar preservatives used to extend shelf live have a negative effect on certain nerves in your gut - which effects feelings of satiety due to not properly detecting certain nutrients.

There's also the NOVA scale of rating the amount of processing in food products.

Instead of trying to tweak how we select the people that want to control every aspect of our lives, we simply reduce the power the state has to do so? The less power the machine has, the fewer incentives there are to get control of it, and the less damage is done when the wrong people do so.
I have only experienced good stuff from Tesla service. I like the convenience of being able to request for a service appointment through the app and the response time was within an hour. Their mobile service also means I don’t need to drive to a service center on minor issues. I do live in California so not sure if it is different in other states or countries

Please correct me. I cannot follow your line of reasoning on how addressing transphobia is transphobic. You realize the movement you're referring to is inherently connected to the trans community, right?

What I'm pointing out is that characterization is transphobic. Usually when people point out that a characterization is incorrect, they aren't accused of making that characterization themselves. Typically folks understand the difference and I expect you to as well.
I suppose less an real-time collaborative exercise, and more of a way to encourage short bursts of repetition -- in line with how debaters have to quickly formulate and synthesize speeches in high school and college. Writing is obviously not trivial to learn nor to teach, but rhetoric used to be the center of education during the classical period and being able to quickly organize ones thoughts is just as important as turning it into language.
Windows nor call of duty seem to care not about those settings. Happy to run at full blast all the time. And then there's the 3090.
Imagine if in-game voice chat automatically converts player speech into the voice of the character they're playing -- this would resolve a lot of the gender-based harassment problems arising from competitive games requiring vocal communication, since now _everyone's_ default is hiding the actual player's voice, contrasting the "just use a voice changer if you're a girl playing" suggestion which themselves draws attention by being out of the ordinary.
> One is a reproductive function and an important part of a well-functioning couple

The activities that people want to regulate tend to not fall under either of those (or at least their status as such is disputed).

Nope. I genuinely think it's a legitimate comparison.
G'damn it.

That's a shame, I wasn't entirely onboard with the logistics of crossing the massive fault lines along the route .. but I admired the ambition and scope of the project.

Because "literally just proposed legislation that will ban gas stoves in new construction" is the standard way that laws phase out out-dated or dangerous commodities, like no cars sold without catalytic converters sold after 1975, or no new construction with ungrounded outlets since 1962.

No feds are going into houses ripping out ungrounded wiring. To suggest that they'd do the same for gas stoves is just spreading stupid FUD.

Is it not wasteful for each of our cells to contain genetic code for the whole of the organism? Any particular cell only expresses a tiny subset of that code. Are there any organisms that don't follow this approach?

On the other hand, there is a satisfying romance to it all. That a cell is borne and joins into the system ready to grow into anything. It makes our 'self' feel like a co-operative experiment.

"that's the way we've always done it" it's the least philosophically defensible argument for doing something. I mean, even Socrates said so. Thinking someone is worth what capitalism decides they're worth is a decision people make every day in this country and it's no more the natural state of being than communism or a theocratic dictatorship.
This was predicted by astronomer Stacy McGaugh on his super interesting blog as a natural consequence of modified Newtonian dynamics (https://tritonstation.com/2022/01/03/what-jwst-will-see/).

McGaugh came to support MOND over dark matter reluctantly for just such reasons—MOND routinely predicts things in advance that dark matter struggles to justify ex post facto, usually by adding additional moving parts to the model.

Whether or not you find the evidence persuasive, McGaugh's blog is worth a deep dive just to appreciate the subtleties and complexities of this kind of observational astronomy.
No, that's too much nutrition. Same reason Baby Formula 1 racers never took off.
Ask HN: What do you want/plan to learn in 2023?
I understand how you feel, but whenever someone prefaces anything with "Big" I assume they're main complaint is with predatory capitalism. Pharma companies are very interested what they can learn from plants these days, so the scientists at those companies are doing good work, but maybe the accountants, lawyers and CEO's of those companies are not.

The argument is that nobody cares if you use a single file with 10K LOC of outdated JavaScript code or a beautiful Rust library to compute whatever.

Of course customers care about performance - if your app is unusably slow it is going to be an issue.
> could have been made with any "thing"

"any" is going a lot of heavy lifting there.

Apart from people agreeing on value, that thing also has to be: 1. out of their governments' control (all the examples had governments gone bad), 2. easy to transfer/carry, 3. durable.

Can you please name a few alternatives if you think that's a simple problem?

Bitcoin fits the bill for those aspects. Can you name a few other "things"?
This is a good observation. It's so sad that we haven't used the best tool we had. We still don't use it properly even now, when it's clear that we are already in a terrible crisis.
Fair enough, I tend to over use edit on HN more than other sites because I never cared to win flame wars, but it does help improve the quality of the replies you get from people, as seen here. So noted.
Clickbait. They tested a technology that could be used for espionage by trying it out around a US military installation. It's not like they could instruct the pigeons not to photograph anything outside the property line.
My Vim experience got much better when I added this to my config:

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>sr", ":%s//")

It search-and-replaces all occurrences of the word under the cursor.

I also added the following to remove the highlights that appear (e.g., when pressing *):

vim.cmd("nnoremap <silent> <c-c> :nohl<CR><C-l>")

Reagan's EO12334 suspends the 4A for people subject to background investigations for government work. They have an entire domestic surveillance apparatus to monitor such people. Once in place it's easy to extend that to everyone else.

I had the same idea about magic. Back in the day people could do things that we can’t because nobody looked into details and the universe had enough “possibility space” to allow it. Once you turn your gaze into atomic or galactic workings, this space shrinks tremendously and further research becomes much harder because you glued the puzzle from its sides in a particular way and there’s not much left to hope for, except for solving it to the center in a bizarrely complex way. We may have painted ourselves into a horrible corner.

Well, I would have suggested Racket. Common Lisp is a bit ugly, both conceptually and syntax-wise.
You've been using HN primarily (exclusively?) for ideological battle. That's not allowed here, regardless of which flavor you favor. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

Moreover, you've been breaking the site guidelines in other ways too, such as with unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments, name-calling, and personal attacks.

We ban accounts that do these things. I'm not going to ban you right now because your account has been around for a while and we haven't warned you before, but the pattern in your comment history is definitely not ok and we need you to fix this.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
Bodyweight in stone would be _very_ uncommon I think. Still occasionally hear baby weights reported in pounds, but that's usually only by the grandparents.

6 feet and over is tall, 5 feet and under is short is such a handy rule of thumb, which I think is its longevity for height - although any official form will ask for metric (centimetres usually).
That's not Node's issue but NX's monorepo. Having a mega monster root package.json just makes your ci/cd incredibly slow, one way to solve it, is to have per app package.json
The theory has not changed much since the original work by Mills in the 1990s but the experiments and engineering have overcome a lot of hurdles and there are now many experiments that match the predictions of the underlying theory and prove the existence of hydrinos.
Me neither, but I have heard plenty of complaints about backup cameras being required in all new cars.

The idea is that the cameras require a large display on the dashboard. If you could sell a car without them, we might have a cheaper class of small street-legal vehicles with simpler controls.

Sadly, with electric vehicles being thousands of kg heavier than ICE vehicles, kei-style cars would probably get a lot of people killed if they were introduced to the US today.
It's not a matter of small towns. It's a matter of having differing positions on taxes, abortion, police, etc, etc.
I've come to TS from Python.

To me, install a new package and it requires "target=ESNext" and modules="ES2022" and suddenly I feel like I'm back in the Python 2 to Python 3 transition debacle.

I never did debate--though I've seen it--and my understanding is it turned into a pretty formulaic enterprise. It's pretty different from a 5-10 minute presentation on a topic (which we did on a rotating basis in high school English).

Ok, you made me curious. What were they supposed to do? Stop drilling and selling oil? Ask the government for increased taxes to take care of externalities? Dismantle the corporation? Just resign and go find a job in a different industry?

Hey, if you write a blog post on this I'd totally read it! Are you writing something that exposes a C API so you can embed it on various platforms?
1. I do already have the `Node` interface, but it's called `IdentifiableObject` as I cannot follow the convention, because the interface has 2 fields:

- id: the actual WordPress ID

- globalID

And the convention says that Node can have only a single field: https://graphql.org/learn/global-object-identification/

2. It's better to keep it as an Input Object as it's more extensible by plugins, which may have their own fields to sort by. Also existing resolvers can be reused, instead of having to create a dedicated enum for each single type every time. I think it's more elegant than using enums.

3. You have the totalCount field already for every field. Eg: there's `posts` and `postCount`, `users` and `userCount`, etc.

I could implement connections, and maybe I will in the future, but I need a compelling reason to do it: It was needed by Facebook for their never-ending feed, but as WordPress sites are naturally paginated, I believe it's not a real need.

And connections also bring some pain: I know that WPGraphQL has had many issues with it, maybe even ongoing, with some edge cases where it doesn't work well, and if I'm not mistaken it needs additional DB calls.

4. The plugin already attempts to provide all the filtering supported by WordPress. Check out all the `filter` inputs (in fields `posts`, `users`, `comments`, etc)

(In addition, I'll be releasing extra functionality via directives some time in the future)

And it uses the "oneof" input object to simplify fields, so you have `post(by: {id: 1}}` and `post(by: {slug: "some-slug"}}`
It would be nice if they step up their game. The US has been clobbered over the last 15 years by the Asian heat pump/mini split brands like Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Midea, and Gree. Most of the myths in this article come from experience with crappy American heat pumps that are as technologically out of date as a cell phone from the early 2000s.

What about the state oil companies of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, and others that produce the other 95% of the oil?

Climate Change is not a problem that can be unilaterally solved by the West. Saudi Arabia isnt going to agree to be a poor desert backwater again to protect beachfront property in Malibu.

Climate Change is a massively intractable problem. The fact that the West's favored solutions are Hail Mary bets on radically increased performance of batteries and renewable energy sources that are unlikely to be achieved at best, is highly disconcerting.

We've had a good 25 years to ramp up next gen nuclear, which can work at volume and much more safely, but it's been frittered away on the hope that renewables can function as baseload.
