my point is about corruption, not the mine. Keeping things in the governments control doesn't stop or prevent corruption from occurring, so it's odd to me that a criticism of privatization is the chance for corruption to take place.

This was one of the promises of SPACs. The idea was that large companies were IPO'ing too late (ahem... Stripe) and that there was no way for the general public to take part in the same kind of upside they could with previous IPOs like Google and Facebook.

But there really wasn't any reason why a successful, high-upside, company would choose to stay private but decide to go public because of SPACs. So you ended up with what seems to be 2 tracks of companies going SPAC: 1) companies that were not really high-upside and mostly had poor business models looking for exit liquidity during the retail boom -- Metromile, Opendoor, etc. and 2) high-risk, early-stage capital intensive companies that probably weren't going to do as well in private fundraising -- all the EV companies, health care companies, etc.

The fact that the insiders made out on all these deals further support the charge that these things were largely a grift on retail investors during a vulnerable time for retail investors.

There is still a lot of time for the dust to settle on these and see what the long-term batting average for these things are. I'd be interested to see how SPAC returns compare to returns on Series A, B, C, D rounds of the same vintage to see if this actually did bring comparable opportunity to the public or not. A lot of those rounds done in 2020-2022 are probably deeper underwater as well.

> Are there algorithms to select the lens elements for me given the properties I want?

I plan to add optimization features in the future to automatically tune design parameters to suit specified target criteria, as well as some application-oriented design generators for things like telescopes, binoculars, and camera lenses.

In the current version, the only features that automatically determine system specifications to achieve a specific result are autofocus for the distance from the last surface to the image, and a generator that produces a planoconvex singlet lens given a specified focal length and glass material.

> How does one buy lens elements? Are they custom manufactured or out of a catalog?

If I need some basic singlets or achromatic doublets for a visible-light use case that does not place strict requirements on the specific type of glass or the precise specifications of their AR coatings (if any), then I will typically order from Surplus Shed. They are significantly cheaper than other domestically shipped (US) sources for individual lens elements, but it is often necessary to design around the diameters and focal lengths that they have in stock rather than designing a finished system first and ordering exactly what it needs.

For specialized components like infrared and ultraviolet optics or for parts with formally documented specifications and product line consistency, I order from Thorlabs. They are more expensive.

Both Surplus Shed and Thorlabs will sell directly to individuals from their online stores. I have no affiliation with either company.

Business’ “long term” is still shorter than an election cycle, isn’t it? Long-term is 2 years, perhaps. 8 quarters!
I wish every single HN post regarding business efficiency explained this concept to people. It's such a basic economic concept, but I've come to learn so many people on HN just parrot "unregulated markets are more efficient therefor markets are best" without understanding at all what's going on. It's become such a basic error with pattern matching. Please understand the situation and don't just say "markets".

Regardless of the specific case here, businesses do a horrible job of accounting for the externalities of their decisions. This shows up in two ways:

1. Negative externalities - there is a large cost to society of my company doing this, but I'm not the one paying the cost. As a result I can still make money off of it so I will do it. Even though it is a net negative for society. Dumping toxic pollution into a river is a great example. You need an external force (government) to step in to ensure they account for that. Either through things like laws to make it illegal (and actual enforcement of those laws).

2. Positive externalities - there are larger benefits to society of performing the action, but the company itself doesn't get that value as a result they don't do the action. Subsidizing things like the US interstate project is a great example of this. Again markets fail to capture this so don't do it. Or if they do it's in a way that's a net negative for society and becomes a defacto tax on all economic activity making other useful businesses unprofitable. Again an example would be if all interstates were privatized and drivers were charged maximal rates. It would drastically reduce economic activity.

There are absolutely situations where markets are not the right solution to the situation and government intervention is, and they usually fall in where there are significant negative or positive externalities.
In the 80's, some western governments did that. People were unhappy but those economies did great. Eg. UK (Thatcher), and New Zealand (Rob Muldoon). Some of these businesses were just weird to be government owned - like a print shop.

Some businesses are best owned by government and some privately. It's not just a blanket good thing that governments should ratchet their way towards communism. Natural monopolies and public goods can be better owned by government because the private sector needs competition to be efficient.

Verbose comments are useful, but this is why you keep your code in a version control system, and why you get good at going through the code's history, and why commit messages and diffs matter.

Also in order to track UUIDs that have been received, you would either need an infinite amount of memory, or have the system bounded in terms of how many messages out of order a message be delivered and still be processed correctly.
The very premise is bad. You want to use Rust precisely so that you can write Rust code. The selling point of Rust and most other languages is that they provide a sane, safe, convenient, easy... (pick some of them) interface to the programmer.

The field has advanced incredibly since then - uniparental markers like mitochondria or Y are a helpful clue, but we have so much genome wide information now. Indian population genetics is still in its infancy, though, since Indian government rules around the export of biomaterial means only Indian labs can work on them, and honestly most of them have strong biases they're looking to confirm. So much of the Indian population information in databases is simply extrapolated from tiny, non-representative samples collected from Indians abroad.

Your wife can imply you are to blame because as far as you two are concerned the robbers are force of nature. It's good for preserving personal sanity, but not when this logic is applied in public or by authorities and can influence public opinion or policy. Are they force of nature? Or perhaps something we can or even should deal with? If you want robbers to go away, normalizing them is the worst thing you could do.
One detail you may have missed — "system" is only special when it comes right after a special token. So it's not a special token itself, but you cannot inject a valid-looking system message from user text.

In more detail, the current format is:


HEADER
BODY


We are actually going to swap over to this shortly:


HEADER
BODY


So basically getting rid of the newline separator and replacing with a special token. Shouldn't change anything fundamentally, but does help with some whitespace tokenization-related issues.

BTW, format of HEADER is going to be really interesting, there's all sorts of metadata one might want to add in there — and making sure that its extensible and not injectable will be an ongoing part of the design work!

> Do you believe food just magically appears on your plate, water cleans itself, your plumbing just happens to work, medical services operate autonomously etc

Every politician I meet I ask the same question: what do we do when automation has driven the value of nearly all human labor down to pennies? None have an answer. Nobody that's a big fan of the current system has given me an answer other than "it'll never happen," but it seems inevitable to me.

The usa already subsidizes food non productivity to maintain stable prices for agriculture. So why don't they just stop doing that so food does magically appear on my plate? Is maintaining broken market dynamics in every aspect of life so important that it justifies some going hungry, some working two jobs, all of us working 40 hours a week until we're 60?

This has a lot of potential. It becomes a bit repetitive after the 3rd or 4th article. But overall I think I could listen to it every day for 20 mins.
both dingo and the spread of this family are around 5000 years give or take and roughly contemporaneous with this introgression in OP. None of the dates are known with that much precision afaik. It seems the theory that the languages are indian is disputed, so lets just say a lot of new stuff was happening around that time.

There is disputed circumstantial evidence for other waves of migration. For example the Bradshaw paintings have long been thought to be the work of newer peoples (maybe from papua). Some people dispute this and say it discounts the abilities of the natives there, and that may be true, there could be just one group always there who did them and then stopped. But the art bears little resemblance to earlier art there or in other regions of australia, which is often little more than handprints or slightly cartoonish looking things. The bradshaws are quite different and it at least makes sense to ask if there wasnt some new wave of peoples with unique tools and art style. Or otherwise some kind of "golden era" where there was more population and other interesting things happened. Something to look for in future.

> South Australia sold its state owned electricity grid to Chinese owners for 200 years. Every time people say our high power prices are due to renewables think critically.

With electrical rates above $0.35/kWh, that's the point where I would get a loan to install a massive off grid solar system with LiFePo4 batteries and probably have a ROI period of under 7 years. And then leave a basic meter and panel connected to the grid with nothing on it.
>If the transmission failed on that $4k car it could cost you $3k to repair it.

Well it's an Aisin, so it won't. Part of getting away with buying cheap cars is knowing which one to buy.
I generally agree but just a thought exercise: Public government is what got us in this mess in the first place and isn't 'run efficiently'. What if all government functions were privatized?
I agree that there's value that can be found, but it's not the kind of value that I think most would choose to acquire if they were given a choice and understood what the experience would entail. It's a silver lining. It's like throwing a faster pitch after Tommy John surgery.

But when we're talking about childhood trauma/stress, I'd be more cautious about associating value. While value may certainly be derived by folks fortunate enough to find a path out, many don't find that path. And that path out can also leave quite a bit of damage in its wake.
I guess, “the world’s longest” is something of note…

Buildstock | Founding Engineer | On-site (NYC or SF) | Full-time

Buildstock is a pre-seed B2B procurement startup in the construction industry. We're helping property developers gain access to building materials with price transparency, a major cause of project delays and budget overruns esp with supply chain disruptions related to the pandemic.

We're looking for a founding engineer, ideally someone interested in being a technical co-founder without having to start from scratch, since you'll be joining an experienced team that has already raised a round from top VCs, has waiting customers, and is launching at the end of this month.

Full job description here: https://submit.trytapioca.com/buildstock/buildstock-founding...

Please reach out to me (and mention HN!) at wilsonk@buildstock.com.

You are correct. While it's supported and part of the APT version in Debian, they don't make much use of it themselves, whereas most downstream distros are making use of it (eg. Ubuntu)

https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/apt/apt-transport-mirro...

You can still use it in vanilla Debian, but they don't make their mirror list available easily in the correct format, so you would have to basically curl + awk the URLs into a text file and use that.

My guess is that Debian itself probably sees less than 1% of the traffic on their mirrors compared to Ubuntu and they haven't been as motivated to make this change.

The second scenario, mentioned in https://github.com/panva/jose/issues/355#issuecomment-102795..., seems much harder to work around.

If a canceled request leaves a Promise hanging, how will you notice?

It's unclear to me how workerd handles canceled tasks. Javascript Promises themselves don't have a concept of canceling as such, maybe they reject the promises for canceled requests? Or maybe they just throw away the tasks, without giving them any notice -- after all, the whole point seems to be to mitigate harm from bugs causing runaway processing like infinite loops. Can someone confirm what actually happens? I'm having trouble triggering this in an observable way without writing a custom HTTP client.

https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/blob/5d644d0189246a22e...

I also don't see anything in the Cloudflare docs that would say anything about how they terminate requests that are canceled. Since only individual requests get canceled, they have to leave the runtime instance alive, to process any other requests it's serving. `event.waitUntil` you buys you an extra 30 seconds.

I don't agree with that contrived definition of delivery. As a developer, what I care about is delivery of the message to my function/handler. E.g. so that I can store it in my local database/store on the receiver side exactly once and ultimately show it to the user exactly once. Definitely possible.
