IIRC they redistribute the source to their users, so the GPL is respected. The GPL doesn't force you to make your modifications public or available to the original authors (that would be non-free), only that your users should have access to the modifications, also under GPL.

They surely do something like Red Hat that says in a contract you lose access to the GRSecurity patch¹ as a user if you publicly redistribute the source.

We want company's and individuals to be innovative?

But then give them shit for their failures, even if fairly handled. After failure startups leave customers & employees empty handed, Google refunds and pays all.

Even though they've killed many, their successes are really impressive.

This is their graveyard: https://killedbygoogle.com/

Most are small project, or large project that found continuation some other way. (angular, fitbit etc, who cares about hangout?).

Innovation wise Google is still the most diverse out there. FB, Apple etc. are not creating a very diverse list of products.

And yeah and a lot of products fail, but for most large projects they've handled it nicely.

FB also discontinued a lot of products and became a meme. In the end I would rather they keep trying to create something useful instead of just milking their search revenue till the end of time.

Yep. Marketing yourself as partly a failure when you have managed to do so many projects in the first place feels off. A true failure page would be an empty page, just of sadness. Yet not only does he have many projects, but also multiple big successes.
The USA is a completely different situation. When Germans and Scandinavian immigrants came, for example, they settled the Midwest and had their own space. Immigration to existing heavily populated places, like Italian immigration to NYC caused huge problems (like the Mafia).

The problem is no one wants to learn how to do it. Everyone wants the easy button. This is why we have the cloud, iCloud storage, google photos, amazon photos, back blaze, etc....

None of this is that hard to do, not one just wants to put a minimal amount of effort into learning how to do backups, or automate them or deal with DR scenarios. If this information is important to you it would behoove you to learn how to protect it. Otherwise its not that important to you. Obviously IMHO.

“Has anyone here ever tried drawing hands?”

It’s not for naught that there’s a common meme around AI hands https://imgur.io/tf43ecd?r (Alt text: Human asks robot “can an AI draw hands?”, robot counters “can you?”.)

I remember during the original AI art arguments, an artist friend semi-jokingly remarked to me that AI can’t draw hands because there aren’t enough examples in the training set, because artists go to great lengths to choose poses that hide the hands since they can’t draw hands either.

I suggest you go drive some EVs.

Tesla is an awful car, I rented one before I bought it...and decided against it.

I have driven Model Y, VW ID4, and Kia EV6.

Tesla Model Y cons:

- auto wipers do not work properly, other manufacturers are using sensors, Tesla is using cameras

- phantom braking still an issue

- ride quality much worse than competitors, I drove race cars that had better suspension, I was in disbelief how poor the suspension was

- build quality still behind legacy car manufacturers

- removal of ultra sonic sensors, because Tesla Vision better, coming soon......it has been 5 months now?

- FSD is a $15k scam and should not be allowed on public streets

- yoke, Tesla got it wrong while Toyota has got the yoke right (https://jalopnik.com/how-lexus-got-the-yoke-right-unlike-tes...)

-lack of aftermarket parts and support

-lack of 3rd party mechanics

-poor service

-Tesla center would not return emails and calls about extended test drive, I can only imagine how service is like

- No blind detection sensors? What is this 2001?

Pros:

- Charging network, with a caveat as it is actually quite expensive, if you can't charge at home you might not even save any money vs something like a hybrid

The concept of failure here reminds me of the Tiger Woods quote: "Second Place is just the first loser".
It's also a lot of luck and being at the right place at the right time. It seems like the company that became ZipX was acquired for 50M but before that it only generated about 200k in revenue. If the timing wasn't right (with the onset of COVID) or no one knew about his company then he wouldn't have that success.

It really demonstrates the importance of continuing to work even after failures and pivoting often because you never know when or which idea will take off.
I like it, but I won't buy it unless it's offered in AWD. I previously had an AWD Golf (R32) and it was awesome, an electric version of that at a $40-$50k price point would be very interesting to me. The biggest issue I have is where I live, I need an AWD vehicle, and all of the AWD EVs are huge and expensive. I want a nice, small, AWD, electric car, not a shitty crossover. Why is that so hard?

I like Transit for their quick at a glance public transit arrival times in NYC, but generally prefer Citymapper's overall step-by-step directions and multi-modal transit options.

My first thought is, "gross"... now we'll have to wonder whether Manager X is even paying attention to the emails they're reading and responding to, or doing any actual work or thinking.

> First you are tightly coupling your CI to your developers machine

It's not like you can't configure builds differently based on an ENV variable, which is exactly what most build tools already do.

> Second, if one employee wants to install htop on their machine, then every employee will have to install it

There's actually a way to install things on the fly on first use. That way, if you never use it, it will never install. If you use it more than once, it will use the locally-cached version. Next?

> this can quickly become a problem when you have 500+ developers.

Nope. Already answered. Plus, you can allow some things into the "pure" environment if you wish. Harmless things like btop or htop, for example.

> Third, I think you missed the first part on the second quote, you are FORCING every developer

What part of "everyone has to use slow-ass non-deterministically-building Docker" is NOT "FORCING" every developer to use something? LOLOL. Plus, on Macs (which USED to be my preferred dev machine) it's slow as fuck, which is why I had to switch to a linux laptop anyway, which is why I said "fuck this" and installed NixOS and went to town instead.

> to not only use linux but also to use one distribution that is pretty niche.

First of all, wow, you are naïve. No good thing DID NOT start out "niche". Literally every technology I've gotten into except for ASP.CRAP was "niche" when I got into it- from Ruby, to Postgres, to Elixir, to Jquery (at the time)... Do not judge things based on their popularity because that's the Appeal to Popularity fallacy. Judge things based on their promise, young padawan. And Nix... promises much.
Java back end, all SSRed, maybe some HTMX, D3.js and other JS libraries for fancy features. I would consider a heavy front end for video game like UI, animation, or if I really want to make something that behaves like a desktop app. Would learn towards React for that because I use it for work and have accommodated for it. I want to like Svelte though.

For my side projects I used a lot of Python (easy access to ML tools) and find it is fun to write interesting apps (websockets!) with aiohttp. I don’t know how reliable and scalable the Python back end is but I know Java can handle the load because I have been seeing it do so for years.

I do a lot of side projects with arangodb which you don’t hear much about because I think most arangodb users see it as a secret weapon. I have had the server get corrupted and need a reboot from time to time, I’d say today “you can’t get fired for choosing PostgreSQL” and that is a very solid SQL database that Engineering managers I know swear by and it always seems to come through.
Prompts for communicators using the new AI-powered Bing
I’ve been taking (digital) photos since 1999. I’ve got 350k unique images, but more than a million unique SHAs.

I’ll maybe take a couple a day when out for a walk. 10-50 for an event. 20-30 for a big family gathering. My kids were always a good excuse to pull out the camera. It all adds up.

If you shoot with a big camera, people frequently opt for “JPEG+RAW” which is two image files every time you tap the shutter release. That adds up.

Also, if you use(d) google photos, or any other service that downscaled your originals, and then _also_ directly take a backup of your DCIM directory off of your phone, there’s another source of duplicate images.

I wrote more about this here: https://photostructure.com/faq/what-do-you-mean-by-deduplica...
IMO the biggest remaining risk to this is a house fire at night while you are at home. You wake up to alarms and smoke and run out the door without your phone. All three copies of your photos will burn at once. This is where an additional off-site would be valuable. That might be a second external hard drive that you store off-site and re-sync every few months, or maybe an encrypted cloud backup using restic.

> Should the research that tells you which drug to give be banned?

No, and nobody suggested anything like that, so if you're trolling please don't.

The point of TFA is that a study reporting "drug X has greater risks for black people" is weak science, because any given doctor has little way of determining whether their patient is genetically similar to whoever participated in the study. If the study had instead reported risk levels for, say, people of North African ancestry, then the doctor could ask about the patient's background and make an informed decision, instead of just looking at skin color and hoping for the best.

I disagree. It's both. If I'm playing the piano alone in my room and nobody else listens to it, I'm still having the aesthetic experience called "art". Many people make art just for themselves without the intent of showing it to anybody else, and it's not somehow less artistic than something that other people see. Art is an experience somebody has, including the artist.

Thanks for providing additional information to readers. However, this is not entirely correct. Let me clarify:

- Community nodes are used to diversify server ownership and strengthen the privacy of connections.

- Community nodes may technically act as entry, middle and/or exit nodes.

- Community nodes will never be used for unencrypted connections, only for encrypted connections. We are thinking about a concept of trusted partners, which will also be allowed to handle unencrypted connections - but this is currently not the case.

- We publish advisories [0], which are automatically applied by all clients. This gives us the ability to quickly react to changing situations. Currently, community nodes _are_ being selected as exit nodes, but not as entry nodes.

I hope this cleared things up. I am happy to go into more detail.

Missouri has generated $70M in recreational marijuana sales revenue in the first month after recreational legalization. Some people will avoid taxes via black market route but most will take the path of least resistance. Doctors hand out medical cards liberally, so that’s a cheat code if you can’t afford recreational taxes and are willing to put the effort in (medical is usually taxed at a lower rate).

> Recreational cannabis sales in Missouri generated $71.7 million in revenue during its first month of legalization.

> Medical marijuana sales generated an additional $31.2 million, resulting in a combined total of $102.9 million in sales since Feb. 3, according to data from the Department of Health and Senior Services.

One of the items on this website contains very personal information about an another person you dealt with.

I think it's "easy" in that since many people do it, they probably don't need to be hardcore gang members.

I don't smoke weed, so my opinion may not be worth much, but if I did, I absolutely would prefer getting in from a somewhat regulated outfit and be sure that it's actually what I expect it to be. I don't know if adulterated weed is a thing, though.

Sure, if between taxes and whatnot you end up with a price 100 times higher than your local dealer's, my point is moot. But I doubt that's the case. So if I could avoid having to deal with sketchy characters, that'd be a plus.

I think growing your own is an entirely different question. My mom grows tomatoes, peppers and other stuff in her garden. I live in an apartment building, so I get mine from the local store. I do enjoy eating her home-grown produce when I visit, though. Maybe there's a market for "non-industrial-grown weed", too, as there is for farmers.

Aloha HN,

In 2018 I moved to Hawai'i from Seattle for my wife's job and was surprised to learn there was no software industry there (I assumed there would be, being in the middle of China and the West Coast). So I looked around for interesting things to work on and ended up joining the University of Hawai'i Cancer Center.

At first I didn't know anything about cancer or biology, but knew a lot about software, AI, and data science. About a year in it started to click that this was a big information problem. And I had an idea on how to solve those.

Working at a cancer center I became someone my friends would come to when they (or their parents) were diagnosed with cancer. Sadly, two very close friends passed, and it broke my heart that I failed to help them. I kept at it.

Finally, last fall, I got the first glimmer of hope that my idea might have promise. The idea is to build a massive strongly typed database with a huge number of edges. Another way to put it is just building a massive (very, very high quality) CSV file.

It will work. It will radically improve cancer outcomes. (And of course, all other research domains will then follow our lead)

It's starting to come to life. Hoping to accelerate it with outside funds. And not sell my house (but I will if I have to).

Would love any feedback. You don't have to sugar coat anything, I have very thick skin.

Thanks!
