Tesla wasn't a first mover. Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt were both on the market roughtly 2 years before Model S.

Also, you don't really need to beat Tesla if you just want to make (and sell) electric cars. Tesla doesn't fill every niche and is nowhere near enough in terms of volume to satisfy the EV demand.

(If you want to be a bigger electric car company than Tesla then you have to beat Tesla, yeah -- that's a tautology, not an interesting observation tho).
Lyndon Johnson has a great quote about cornering voting blocks that way.
These porn apoligists sound "unhealthy".
Let me attempt to summarize your position, just so I don't misrepresent you in my replies:

- there is a direct connection between the ideas of "let's ban new ICE cars and replace them with EVs to reduce CO2 emissions" and "let's kill unproductives to reduce CO2 emissions"

- this is not because you believe ICEs to be necessary to let "unproductives" live, it's literally because there is no way to engage in dicussions or conversations on an ICE ban without this leading to "let's kill unproductives"

- even though you are admitting that you're employing the slippery slope fallacy, and although we can look at the real statistical effects of ICE vehicles on harm done to people, the inevitable slippery slope of "let's kill unproductives" means that a switch from ICE to EV will result in many more deaths than continuing with ICEs

Is this an accurate representation of your thinking? Your replies so far have not expressed actual ideas beyond logical fallacies (or even "no u"), and I'd be interested in whether this is really the extent of your thought or whether there is more that you know would put you into an even worse light.

If this article doesn't make you sufficiently paranoid may I refer you to my all time favorite Underhanded C Contest, the leaky image redactor from 2008. The winning entry is just brilliant: it's simple, it works perfectly, does nothing tricky, but still allows near perfect recovery of redacted text.

Ask HN: How do you manage your personal projects
Recently I've started a personal project that's begun to take up a significant amount of brain space.

It's gotten complicated enough that I've started "dropping" parts of it mentally, and it's hard to find those pieces and pick them back up again.

In my career, I've used every kind of team & project management ware under the sun, and I have a hard time conceiving adapting something like the Asana suite to just my personal workflow.

So, HN - how do you manage your personal projects?
I talked to a friend about what's she's seeing inside Google right now and the amount of corporate and cultural dysfunction is shocking. Politics, games, entitlement, and decreased productivity.

Is there a company that's more dysfunctional?
Assuming abundant power and effective carbon recapture / recycling, how much carbon do you need per person? If it was on the order of 50 lbs of carbon per person, and that could be infinitely recycled, that doesn't seem wildly onerous. It looks like the average person exhales about 2 pounds of carbon per day, so that's a very rough baseline in terms of carbon needs.

Is there a technology available now or soon that can scrub carbon out of the ambient air and capture that in an easy to reuse medium?
Search is the entry gate to an ecosystem. You capture attention in a highly frequent, highly sticky action, and historically profitable area - you are set up to land and expand (gmail, gcal, etc).

Google took Microsoft's lunch. Windows used to be that entry gate and they're looking to reclaim it. I think it's a sound strategy.

I'll second the request for increasing the length of LTS! While it's technically 36 months it turns out to be 24 to 28 months in practice because my shop will not upgrade our projects immediately -- and we do have to update our projects since we have a TON of AWS lambda functions in C#. After the last "Oh crap, the deadline to upgrade" death march we started having serious discussion about dropping C# for new lambda development and going with Python. If the LTS were extended to at least 5 years, or there was some sort of bug-fix-only support beyond the current 3 year TLS then the ground-swell toward python where I work would stop.
My understanding is that in the bay area, they do silly demos from time to time, and let people ride in them for free, but it's not an actual usable service anywhere. Like I said, basically Willy Wonka. If something has changed I'd be interested to know about it. This article is only a few months old though, and it seems to be saying the same thing.

What? Doesn't everyone have a POTS PBX in their homelab?
I think one of the reasons Lex Friedman and Andrew Huberman's respective podcasts increased in popularity was the hole left on youtube platform by Rogan leaving to spotify.
I thought about "draw to create data" before, but it brings problems when your data contains high dimensions (lots of columns). Painted data only defines limited number of dimensions, for other columns, Some prediction model can be used to infer the values. but with higher dimension in data, the prediction gets less convincing.
I'm going to push back and say that test is not a valuable automatic test. The phrase "relies on an unreliable system" captures that lack of value.
This, the "what" in a commit message is close to useless, the "why" is what matters. Unfortunately developers really don't need another excuse to skip the "why" so I hope this tool doesn't get any traction.
What’s GRAD
I'm not one that usually advocates for nationalization, but with these rail companies, this should be done.

For multiple reason:

- These companies make absurdly huge profit that could be reinvested into the network to improve the network for everybody (electrification, passenger transport). And these are not some complex tech companies that the government couldn't operate.

- These companies are blocking passenger travel and don't care that they are doing it, all other approaches to prevent this have failed. With the current structure there is no change for the US ever to develop a serious passenger rail infrastructure, either inter-city, regional or S-Bahn style. Many local government and states might want to do more train stuff but currently don't feel empowered to do so any trying is often not even worth it.

- They are removing anything not absurdly profitable, shifting things from rail to trucks. And then trucks use government funded road and highway infrastructure instead. Its just bad intensives.

- Current companies have a bad track record and there are way to many derailments, and this is serious strategic concern for logistics that the government should really take better care off.

Just for reference, with the current profit of these companies, the US could easily executed a systematic program of electrification, track and signaling upgrades. Vastly improving both the amount of cargo that can be transported and the passenger that can be transported, and doing so in a much more substantial way.

While trains are energy efficient, and its better then trucks, currently they use very dirty locos with no plan of changing it (some mild greenwashing but nothing real). Some of these train companies are literally some of the largest individual users of fossil fuels (behind things like DoD) and no plan for change anytime soon.

It would also make transporting cargo from city-to-city easier if these cities are currently in the domain of one of the competitor companies. This is a real problem for shipping.

If the US wants to seriously drive modal share of cargo and passenger transport to green energy efficient trains, its the only way I can see it gone work.

VBA is the old win32/COM-based Visual Basic, not .NET, so that might be difficult.

I agree that the non-portability of such Excel extensions is a showstopper for many use cases.

I mean, the same thing happened to Howard Stern when he signed with Sirius XM, right?
> Well, they think they will be paid 10 times more now that they can produce bullshit 10x faster … in reality, they will be fired.

…and replaced by b.s. chatbot wranglers, who will be paid much more, and who will produce more total output, and who will be selected preferentially from among the people that best understand the work the chatbots are doing…so, yeah, in lots of cases, the people that were writing bullshit will end up wrangling chatbots, in jobs that bring in more money for their employer, and probably at higher pay (though, by historical trends of automation, a lower share of the generated value) who write bullshit.

This is even more clearly the case for people who have writing bullshit as an incidental part of their job rather than a core part, since the incidental part will consume less time, increasing productivity, without eliminating need for the core job. So its not even a “lose one job but move to the replacement job” situation, its just a “be more valuable in existing job”.

The entire existence of Pakistan depends on being a strong Islamic entity in South Asia and selling their Nuclear Weapons as being the defender of Islamic Ummah.

> It’s an ecological disaster with potentially significant health concerns

Counterpoint, we deal with hazardous chemical spills all the time, especially when you factor in all of the semi crashes that don't make headlines. There is a very robust set of clean up procedures set aside for these chemicals ahead of time, and they are being followed. What we are watching now are the automatic precautions of our system kicking in as intended - like taking soil and water samples and testing air quality.

The system is working as intended - we only think it's a disaster because we are being told it is on social media. And often the evidence of the system working is being used to argue it's not.

Outsider efforts that seek to undermine these efforts or make big deals of the mundane should be taken with a grain of salt for the same reason ballot recounts shouldn't be proof that our election process is broken.
> Maybe some naive neoliberals expected it to become democratic due to some magical thinking that trade brings democracy

The naïve neoliberals weren't fully wrong. When you trade with a foreign civilization, elements of their culture do tend to seep into yours. And American culture is particularly infectious. Where the calculus went wrong is that the CCP isn't dumb, they recognized the existential threat to their rule and countered it
`frozen=True` is really nice also if your data does not change :)
The direction that rails goes in is the direction that Basecamp wants it to go in. Basecamp is a privately owned company. Who do you think owns the IP?

Look, no judgment for open source maintainers who take a job in order to get paid. But the idea that this is the only viable model for open source is abhorrent.
Yeah, podcast would be better with audio books than music.

> In general, there's no particular need to make the list of chemicals public

Fitting username, I didn't realize you were a novelty account.
I somewhat disagree. The key to profitability in the audio space is moving listeners from pay-per-stream content (music) to owned content (podcasts, shows, etc.). For that latter costs are fixed even as listenership grows. The only profitable subscription audio service is SiriusXM, and they do this through exclusive licensed content (Howard Stern being the most notable example). Getting people to switch back and forth between apps makes it hard to get people to substitute the profitable content for the unprofitable.
i routunely remind everyone,"we're all mercenaries."

i have marginal control over who i manage. The Product isnt saving the world, but it is allowing us to live reasonably and with a clear soul at the end of the sprint. The reason i say the "mercenary" bit is simple: weigh your dreams against blood and gold and compromise.
Digital id is dangerous if mandatory. There are multiple materials already restricted on the internet.
You say that as if it matters. It does not. Copyright is the exclusive right to copy; the exclusive right to create derivative works; and the exclusive right to distribute the copy or derivative work. 17 U.S.C. § 106.

If you do not have a license from a copyright holder, you may not copy the software to your computer (or anywhere else), you may not modify it, and you may not distribute the original or any modifications. Doing any of those without a license is software piracy.

(Note, however, that once properly licensed software is on your storage device, copying it into RAM or otherwise copying it "as an essential step in the utilization of the computer program" is always permitted. 17 U.S.C. § 117.)

Hard to disagree

I get that many devs are using NoSQL in a careless way that produces horrors. I just don't think that is NoSQL's fault, hence I dislike comments critizicing NoSQL DBs. I am an efficiency (mostly in $ terms) freak, so I really love how NoSQL avoids the pitfalls of SQL (CPU and RAM usage - plus licenses if paid). That makes my take subjective
Screw this article's narrative.

Spotify's problem is its abhorrent UX/UI!

And this sentence is just lame AF:

>"Joe Rogan, whose rambling, hours-long podcasts had somewhat confoundingly become the biggest hit in podcasting"

Rogan has some of the best guests on his show, they are informative and entertaining.

Also, does the author of this post even know how to skip whole episodes if he doesnt like the guest, or does he know how to 'scrub' (FF or RW)

-

You dont listen to the Rogan podcast for Rogan (typically) you listen to it for the guests.

The other best Podcast is Lex Fridman. Although I have to listen to that sped up ~1.25 usually, because lex talks too slowly for my taste - and the other frustrating fact is that Lex oft forgets/omits some of the obvious questions one would have for a guest -- or he hasnt informed himself well enough with the subject matter, he doesnt know to ask what others would find obvious.

But yeah - spotify's UX is so bad, I still just use YT JRE clips to get what I need from Rogan's episodes.

This did happen in the spanish-speaking "podcasphere" as it is usually called. Ivoox succesfully closed exclusivity contracts with a handful of succesful spanish podcasts, a few years ago. Of course, other companies are trying to do the same with more or less success (Podimo, Spotify and Amazon Audible Spain).

One of the main advantages for the signed artists is that they can use licensed music (paying the canon to the official regulatory agency SGAE). The spanish-speaking podcast scene is, surprisingly, very different than the english-speaking one.
That's the move that would've been better for users, but it doesn't allow Spotify to use their already-popular product to bolster their nascent one, which is probably why they didn't do that.

It's far from new behavior for Spotify, though. They've been constantly twiddling with UI, algorithms, etc trying to optimize for profit margins over user happiness for years at this point. Last I knew their entire engineering structure is optimized for that, with the desktop client for example being carved up into wholly separate iframe "islands" (complete with dependencies in duplicate, triplicate, etc) managed by different teams to allow A/B testing of each pane without communicating with the teams responsible for other panes.

India is finally growing out of thinking too much about Pakistan and other threats most of the time and focusing on growing and at least trying to catch up a bit with China in the future in some respects. Although being a democracy that is difficult to achieve.
They call it a derailment, but isn't "explosion" a better word choice? Seems like downplaying.

I, as one data point, refused to make a Spotify account just to continue listening to Rogan.

I already have a paid Pandora account, that's more than a decade old and I really like. I have all the same "features" a paid Spotify account has (offline listening, playlists, choose any song, etc) and what I feel is a vastly superior "radio" aka. suggested listening.

I have no reason to use Spotify, except Rogan - and that wasn't enough.

So, Rogan lost me as a regular listener, and Spotify's plan was thwarted (in a single case at least). Although... I'm probably not alone here.
Right, but my point is that this isn’t some famous malicious intentional lock-in by “evil Microsoft” — it’s how every console is designed. (And arguably Xbox has an advantage here because it shares DirectX with Windows)

There’s no evil MS lock-in here.
With daily discovery questions, hundreds of curated date ideas, an AI powered “love-guru”, and tons of other relationship strengthening tools, our goal is to help couples stay and grow in love!

And we just went live on Product Hunt! Your support would mean a lot <3
Rogan already got paid, so I'm sure he won't be too bothered. He's also kept the YouTube channel alive with occasional clips and fight companions, and would presumably switch back should things turn sour with Spotify.

I'm really curious what kinds of numbers he's been getting since switching to Spotify. My perception has been that his cultural importance has waned significantly since the switch, but I don't have any hard numbers to back this up, it's just vibes.
I'd guess that the low upfront cost and barrier to entry contributes. Audio recording and editing sufficient for a podcast is very low lift for any passionate hosts.

If one disappears off your preferred platform, 100 more are waiting to fill the void.
> the ability to get detailed photos of these objects

I imagine there could be methods of confusing cameras, especially when there are no points of reference in the sky other than the object itself. Maybe some human tech cloaking methods are sufficient to obscure an object.

As for locating the debris, you would think that would be easy... but we're still finding bits of the Columbia space shuttle here and there.
Apache Sedona provides a geospatial data platform for data scientists and engineers to process geospatial data at any scale in a cluster computing environment. ... Apache Sedona provides APIs and libraries for working with geospatial data in the Scala, Java, Python and SQL programming languages, and it offers support for a wide range of geospatial data formats. It also provides tools for spatial indexing, querying, and spatial join operations, as well as support for common spatial analytics tasks such as clustering and classification. Apache Sedona is designed to enable scalable and efficient analysis of large datasets, and it can be deployed in standalone, local, or cluster modes.

Looks very interesting for folks who are involved in / interested in working with geospatial data.
Bizarre post. It constantly alludes to what makes YC founders special/successful, but spends no time explaining why a DAO allows those traits to propagate better than a tradition corporate structure would. Indeed, there are many mentions of knowledge that the founders of OrangeDAO learned from their YC experience, but a DAO is basically a governance structure, how does a DAO help that knowledge propagate better than a wiki? How does a DAO "carry culture"?

I thought one of the purported benefits of a DAO is that anyone can contribute and participate by buying the associated token? That kind of structure seems like it would dilute the culture, not reinforce it. Or is this some kind of "private DAO", where membership is restricted? Then what's the point of doing a DAO at all instead of some kind of co-op VC corporate structure?

To this day I always copy comments to the clipboard before submitting them or after I feel like I've put a lot of work into them -- owing to dubious browser UI[2] c. 2000, where e.g. you might accidentally lose focus of the text field, and then the backspace button would navigate backwards[1] and lose everything you had typed up.

So my muscle memory is a lot of ctrl-a, c.

Good. The podcast landscape is one of the few bastions of openness on the internet, walled gardens of exclusives suck.

Plus, as other folks have mentioned, their podcast support itself is so much worse than dedicated podcast apps.
