I think Apple struck an excellent balance with Gate Keeper. Your average user can’t run random software they accidentally download from shady sources, but yet it’s easy enough for power users to get around if they’re willing to accept the risks.

If Apple ever takes away the option to run software that hasn’t been notarized then I’ll feel differently.
I stand corrected, though the point remains that if everyone tried to exit once that news came out on Nov 7, we still would have had a bank failure with roughly the same shortfall.
Surely they'd receive enough metrics from the folks opting in to the beta/pre releases. Why not tie telemetry to that? Or at least explain why that was thought about and dismissed. It's an obvious fair solution to me as a customer that's feeling a bit shafted into this.
AK is the abbreviation for Alaska. Should be AR for Arkansas.
They still serve very different purposes. Tesla semi isn't going to be driving down residential streets. Vans are not delivering pallets of chips.

I do think EV Vans will be a huge help for climate change and residential noise levels. Can't wait to not hear UPS/Fedex trucks multiple times a day.

Every one of the dozens of lawyers I've met from Stanford Law (here in LA, prior to COVID) has been a member of the far-right Federalist Society, and Stanford Law works closely with the far-right Hoover Institution think tank. Trump's and the RNC's legal team at Jones Day was also heavy with Stanford Law graduates during Trump's term.

I get the sense that the ones staying in a liberal area like the Bay Area are most likely to be the progressive ones. LA is less progressive and has a significantly larger conservative population than the Bay Area (by absolute numbers, LA is one of the most conservative metropolitan areas in the U.S.; roughly 40ish% of the 13 million people in LA, or about 5.2 million are registered Republicans, which is why Republicans constantly make trips to LA to raise money)

Hey Max, I think your offering is amazing but it might be built for the world of yesterday: Since starting this weekend apparently all deposits are 100% insured, why would I go to Mercury to take advantage of sweeps or a money market fund, when my bank offers me slightly higher rates for uninsured-but-insured-in-practice deposits?
Empathy and concern for people isn't a novel concept.
I expect most everyday python users know what these things are. I also expect this was targeted at python users who use these things but haven't thought deeply about them.

Charitably, I will assume you are a non python user, and that's why this is a miss for you.
Well, when they're claiming to hear different versions of memcpy, I can't imagine the bits coming across the same is enough for them.
On the contrary, I would recommend everyone to try and make a game engine. Through my teens and university years I tried many types (3D, 2D, visual novel...) and it's an awesome learning experience. Of course, for a real project that you want to actually finish, that's a different story
What do you mean? There are variable speed furnaces that can be controlled via a normal thermostat and a 4-wire thermostat setup. Like you said, though, there's no open standard so that can be an issue, but it's standard wiring.

I'm glad they're not autonomous.

There are multi-model models coming that can understand scenes and causation better.

the rest of the arguments seem like grasping.
The upside is that the bank you keep your money in doesn’t go out of business. Why keep your money there in the first place if you don’t get some kind of service you like from the bank?

I feel the exact opposite as you. Now that essentially 100% of deposits are guaranteed indefinitely, there is only downside to withdrawing.
> I can't buy groceries for 2 weeks for a family and haul them back on foot or bike.

Why not? On foot might be a bit much, but on a bike, with a trailer, this isn't hard at all.
2013, so computers >> faster than human hearing so the following probably doesn't matter but devils advocate :
memcpy puts stuff in the heap instead of the stack, which requires a malloc, a system call, which could introduce some latency. Then layer on that our audiophiles are probably listening to ridiculously high bit rate audio which results in large files, such that without swap buffering there may be some periodic buffer-play-buffer artifacts introduced. This is why you buffer but [new] is also a heap allocation, so same syscall, shouldn't be any different. Is it calloc? calloc in theory should be worse.
Is the decrease in RF noise from phones due to regulation or battery life concerns?
>Biking 50 or 100 miles per week only burns 250-500 calories, so you wouldn’t expect much weight change.

You may want to double check that math.

https://www.bikeradar.com/advice/fitness-and-training/how-ma...

Perhaps 500 calories/hour is a rough estimate. 100 miles @ 15 mph = 6.66 hours = 3333 cals or roughly what it takes to burn 1lb of fat.
Statically there is a great chance the people that would guarantee will be replaced upon failure or success in an early state startup.

I'd like a furnace company that has a financial incentive to keep my house warm and efficient.

Todays furnace/heat pump makers test their kit in a lab under perfect conditions, and then when it is installed it often costs double or more to run compared to what the datasheet says.[1]

I would like the company to say "we will keep your house at 70F, year round, for $3000/yr. We will pay any electric/gas use to achieve that, and pay for and install maintain and upgrade the hardware".

Then, the company has a direct incentive to keep costs down. The company can optimize maintenance schedules, energy contracts, algorithms to control fans and pumps, etc. Doing this, they should be able to keep total costs lower for the homeowner (who isn't an expert on any of those things)

<< So a bailout is when the rules are changed so that some people get to keep money that they otherwise would have lost (or would not have gotten). I'm onboard with that.

I would say that bailout is a bailout is a bailout. No need for conditionals here. Most people instinctively know the bank would not survive without government intervention.

<< But then the PPP and pandemic payments were bailouts, too - a bailout isn't necessarily a "bad" thing, right?

You may be assuming something about me that I did not say. I am not sure what PPPs were exactly, but at its core, they were bailouts too ( or at least that was their intended purpose ).

<< what is the rule / policy / threshold that solves the problem better than "everyone affected by the problem gets the same full deposit insurance"?

The rule is really simple: follow the policy you claim to follow. Otherwise some may think you are lying all the time.
> we have the industrial design and also largely understand how this will be built. The core technology risk is quite low, it's really about executing the scope well and also finding the right product that homeowners find compelling

How many HN readers are going to read this and think why not give it a try myself? Is this really a deposit collector campaign or more of a competitor generator.
Like kernel or compiler development, audio and DSP development is seen by some as a black art that’s subject to mysterious incantations and arcane rituals.

Everybody knows how to write a for loop and wire up a CRUD app these days, but satisfying a low-latency audio buffer request while decoding media and applying effects feels fraught and often (genuinely) looks like a garble of translated Matlab with countless inscrutable variable names and seemingly random constants peppered everywhere.

From that sense of awe (traditional meaning), it’s only a small leap to start wondering if even “known” textbook truths about things like memcpy matter differently than normal. And then the cultist gossip begins, you get the echo chamber effect on casual forums and meetups, and this is where you end up.
Isn’t this sort of what Twitter is trying with the $8/month thing? Forcing a cost to increase the barrier to posting as well as tie it to a human to go after when they do bad stuff.
There is a ton of Repos owned by Russians. It would be chaos if they suspended them for that alone. Maybe someone falsley reported one of his repos?
Not really. If you're 4x faster than IO, the CPU can do something else while waiting for IO (e.g. run another thread).
Other than historical interest or nostalgia (for those who used it on real hardware), is there something of interest to find in it?

I'm not being dismissive, just curious.

> Never mind the fact that two devices connected with RJ45 ethernet have no direct electrical connection

> For the low, low price of $3800, you can be the proud owner of an audiophile grade, 100Base-T network switch

That buys you a seriously good piece of switching gear with 10GBe (or even higher) fiber optic links to whatever devices you could possibly want in a home. Heck, even a little over $100 buys you a switch with 4 SFP+ (Mikrotik CRS305).

I guess audiophiles will claim that the optical transceivers introduce latency and _they can hear it_
No banking investment is safe if there is a run on the bank. It's not like this result was inevitable. If the bonds didn't need to be sold, they would have paid out.
No more small providers. Going with the big leagues going forward. Hello J.P. Morgan Chase.
I enjoyed that. I disagree with some of the suggestions in there, RCA went to PCB's early (so did Philco, who went even earlier), and the reliability of their products markedly suffered for it. As I mentioned in a parallel article, it's not uncommon to find older (60's era) Zenith electronics that still work as new from the box. Zenith waited until the mainstream use of transistors to move to PCB's because it solved the primary issue of PCB's - heat. There (still) is no reliable way to put tubes on a PCB and have it last, and this was particularly true for television applications one, because of the amount of heat generated by particular tubes used for certain aspects of TV design, and because of the sheer number of them. Zenith went to PCB's for the Transistorized sections and kept point to point wiring for the tube portions in hybrid sets. It's part of why they had a good reputation for quality - one that persists today.

Interestingly enough, there is still a small rump of Zenith humming along in Illinois, mostly doing R&D and Technology Licensing. LG owns them now, I've often wondered if LG ever introduced US Television production, if they'd do it under the Zenith brand name.

If the server code is too complex, at least give me an OpenAPI spec (or equivalent) that the server must adhere to, so I can spin something simple up on a Raspberry PI to solve the problem myself.
It’s more that there is no function that discriminates against a given kind of spam without a false positive rate, and after you implement it, the scammers can just switch techniques to another while now you are continuously dealing with the false positive rate of your method. The attack surface is nearly the entire human language and we’re not good enough yet at understanding if it is a scam in a scalable, automated way, so we have to keep bolting on things with false positive rates that cause support tickets and lower engagement over time. This is an incredibly hard problem.
Feels like YouTube could create an official mechanism for giveaways and information exchange to combat the problem.

Wdym the configmap doesn't change by itself? I don't want my configurations changing "magically" without my say so

The two features I need (and can get without the provider) are:
1. If I (manually, explicitly) change the configmap, prometheus can pick it up without being restarted. This is provided by the side-car container.
2. If new pods come online they are automatically detected and scraped by Prometheus. As long as they have the annotations saying: a) this pod should be scraped, b) scrape on this port, and c) scrape at this URL - then they will be scraped.
Again, criticising racial activism is exactly what historians were upset about here. More specifically, Sweet was openly asking historians to pump the brakes on the performative wokeism that's taken ahold across almost all of academia. He didn't want to see history desecrated and sacrificed to the religion of wokeism; he wanted fellow historians to put their religion aside and be objective.

Instead of heeding his advice he was called a heretic and nearly excommunicated.

My OP in this thread:

>Sweet's faux-pas AHA was criticized as tone-deaf - and it was

No it absolutely wasn't. It was a refreshing call to reason in the deluge of delusional nonsense that followed the BLM "summer of love" moral panic. Tone policing is regularly weaponized by those looking to preserve a narrative. "We can't have facts/logic/reason get in the way! What you're saying is tone deaf to our righteous crusade!"
Based on the information in your post, I cannot judge whether it is actually necessary to grow in order to survive in the long term. If you want, feel free to share some more details, e.g. what industry you are in.

In any case, what is clear to me is that it is very damaging that you and your co-founder don't agree on how to proceed. I'm pretty sure your employees will have noticed the tension by now, and it will certainly have a negative effect on their performance. The main goal should be to resolve the argument as quickly as possible and decide either on growth, or staying a small business.

Does your co-founder not see the same need to grow? Does he prefer to keep the company small, and if yes, what are his arguments?
> For homeowners switching from natural gas, the savings are usually 0-30%, varying based on the local cost of electricity and natural gas.

Yeah, that's gonna be a hard sell for lots of people. The majority of people with forced air (which is the target market) have natural gas. So the savings are potentially nothing, with a huge upfront cost for a new, untested startup product.

There was a professor at my university who initiated to America from India when he was around 20 years old, and ended up accomplishing some great things in his field. People often asked him why he moved to America, expecting some story about believing in oneself, following your dreams, etc.

He always responded: "I just wanted to move to a place where the poor people were fat."
> They beat this by just making the product super easy to install by the consumer

I think it was more than that, I cannot possibly overstate how stupidly better the design/UX was compared to alternatives. In my home I spent years looking for a replacement for the ancient, round thermostat with a mercury switch. That thermostat is a marvel: you spin the dial with instant visual feedback, and there is an off/heat/ac switch. That's it! The Nest just added networking.
It is an ordinary thing for a company to grow its sales operation as the company grows. At some point you need to bring in salespeople, either juniors who follow the existing playbook or more senior people who know how to expand an organization, write a playbook, etc.

The title problem can be addressed by giving the co-founder a promotion in name since now they are the nominal head of the sales organization.
Each bank your money is in increases FDIC coverage by 250K.

Who is the owner of record on these Mercury accounts at "other banks"?

Can I withdraw *my* money from these "other banks" without Mercury involvement or approval? If not, then *Mercury* may have increased FDIC coverage but the Mercury depositor does not.
You really haven't looked into the possibilities with dedicated hardware vendors in a very long time.
Yeah, child actors are often treated horrendously but we as a society still permit it for some reason. Many people have heard about how two children died because of unsafe conditions during the filming of The Twilight Zone movie. What often gets overlooked is that the two children, ages 6 and 7, were being forced to work through the night (the accident happened at 2:30 a.m.)[1]. If it hadn't been for the helicopter accident, no one would have known.

Nuclear fusion strongly depends on superconductors.
How do you compete with the likes of Mr Cool? Me and my father replaced his 15yr old heat pump/air handler in his house a few months ago. Took us a weekend and about $4500. That was a 3 ton unit.

Similarly we installed a 1.8 ton split unit in a new house. About $2500 for that one.

Both were complete kits including thermostat and required no refrigerant install as everything was pre charged. The 3 ton was even 21 seer if I remember correctly.

These Mr Cool units sell locally at Home Depot and other places.

Would your company be willing to provide an open-source local-first websocket-based integration with https://www.home-assistant.io/ or use the new Matter + Thread standard to provide it for everyone?

I used to focus myself on game development, mostly mobile, several times, then I joined a game studio as a DevOps engineer and I'm not looking back, backend and scripting life is way easier but sometimes I feel that I should make an update or join a jam.

Well, the creative process for games is much broader and freeform but it's like with every art.
Exactly. I will not even buy a $100 remote-internet-controlled thermostat that relies on a cloud service [0], and I've looked for both my home and my shop.

I would not even consider buying the hardware that keeps my pipes from freezing if it depends on an internet connection.

I'm happy if there are non-critical OPTIONS available that use the internet (e.g., as another poster mentioned, available optimizations based on real-time elec rates, etc.), but if there is any key function that'll fail without an internet connection, that's immediate disqualification, hard nope, not looking anymore. Period, full stop, even if it is "free" as in beer.

OTOH, if OP can deliver a true stand-alone system and guarantees that it will never require a connection for any core function (as above, optional ok), then he'll have a large market.

[0] any remote-via-internet control function should be able to directly access my IP, static or transient. Not only are non-static home IPs actually quite durable in my experience, there are a variety of easy solutions to keep track of the home IP. Yes, some of those are cloud services, but they are not tied to any hardware.

Edit: That said, I'm ok with requiring wiring beyond the normal thermostat-HVAC wiring.
That is exactly my point and is exactly what I want you to say about my comment.
Does it explain somewhere that I missed how the different size units translate to sq. ft.? I would think that would be a great way to convey which size might work for people, but I might be missing some other factor that doesn't allow for that conversion?
I think there are a lot of good reasons accountants, not MBAs, should be the ones running companies.

That's true. Local market makes a big difference. Most markets $150k/yr is plenty to finance a house. But NY SF LA would definitely be out, and that very well could be most of those 3 million.

No. You have to build it before you can sell it.
A few major improvements - (1) Purchasing experience, we'll connect you with a local contractor, arrange financing and help with rebates. (2) HEPA filtration, fresh air intake and humidity control fully integrated into the system, actuated off PM2.5 and CO2 sensors in the thermostat. (3) A smart thermostat that is optimized for operation with a variable speed heat pump, and reduces your monthly bills. (4) Help for the contractors in the form of a web app to do load disaggregation for heat pump sizing and figure out if the existing ducts can be used for the install. This is something a lot of contractors need an effective tool for.
Something like the nuclear football is probably the only answer. Something very obvious that is transferred with the role
Not everyone will want to rely on a not-guaranteed discretionary call happening again. Don't think of this like a Supreme Court decision that is unlikely to be overturned for decades if not longer.
