It is a combination of things. We hesitated a lot to do a crowdfunding but :
- a corrosion issue nearly killed us and we had to "reboot"

- our team was in full lockdown in France for a while and we could not prototype as easily

- in 2021 we were still focused on seasonal energy storage, a very capital intensive endeavour, a market not ready and a very risky project.

- the rules for crowdfunding changed in 2021 and the use of SPV (special purpose vehicles) made it possible to raise big + have one line on the cap table.

We had to derisk the project further to be able to attract VC funding (patent, prototype, LOIs, financial model, etc.) and we ultimately followed the advice from another YC founder and friend who went the crowdfunding route with success.
A lot of crowdfunding projects look like outright scams and probably are... but I feel that the SEC did a good job protecting the public. You cannot invest more than a certain amount if you are not accredited for example. Things are certainly not perfect, and getting better year after year.
If possible, could you also add to description for anyone wants to add to your list, to go to original thread and submit ?

Currently it seems there're many people fetch from original thread, which makes it ne source of truth, less confusing for anyone to submit.
> If you have hundreds of millions of daily active users then needing to write a compiler isn't the end of the world.

It's not the end of the world because they have deep pockets and a problem domain where preserving the interface (I.e., keep everything still running on PHP) and optimizing the infrastructure that provides it is more cost effective and least disruptive than switching to a tech stack that is more performant.

Huh I always thought the invitation mechanism wasn't to do with scaling but more of an exclusivity thing to get those who do join more invested...
The separation of HTML, CSS, and JS doesn't make sense when you're building applications instead of very basic documents. Style, content, and behavior are all intertwined: say you have a collapsible navbar; does the toggle button (HTML) have any meaning at all separate from its behavior (JS); does a "navbar" mean anything at all without its associated style (CSS)? <nav> might have some semantic meaning, but really it's just a div with a list of anchors until you turn it into a navbar with CSS.

Centralizing these nominally separate things that aren't actually separate in modern web applications makes sense. It doesn't have to be Tailwind, but Tailwind works well and is easy enough to understand in a second.

The biggest downsides are that until you get the hang of it you have to look up class names a lot (although they are fairly consistent), it requires knowledge of CSS already so isn't really beginner-friendly, and it can be easy to get lazy and cause a similarly inconsistent and chaotic style soup--am I using px-2 for these kinds of things or px-4--as you might with inline styles (but Tailwind provides nice facilities to avoid this by configuring your theme and adding your own component classes--the latter might be best used sparingly and avoided through better reuse of HTML).

I think most Tailwind users are using it in JS. It works just as well if you're doing everything in HTML, like with htmx or something similar, which is nice for me.

Take NAMBLA out of the equation and Delany is still a man who promotes that man/boy sexual relationships aren't intrinsically abusive and should not be criminalized. There's nothing transitive about that.

He has not changed that opinion, nor is he ever going to. And yes, if you support his work then I'm going to look at you funny, just like if you had a painting by a certain German politician on your wall - and that goes double when you try to dissemble what his beliefs actually are.

Whataboutism.

Nuclear's long build times help coal plants stay open and are thus bad for emissions. Here [1] an article about Poland deciding to build nuclear plants FOUR YEARS AGO. During that time they did not displace a single molecule of co2 from their worst in Europe electricity production. The construction didn't even begin yet, and when it does it will again take years in the best case. If it takes as much as it did in other European countries recently, we are talking about 20 years easily.

Those that praise this strategy are either naive, misinformed, or funded by the nuclear lobby.

Mostly it’s obvious you’re just tired of being consistently called out on your nonsense. It hurts your unearned feelings on superiority. A trait conspiracy theorists have been repeatedly shown to have I might add.

Like I said: you’ve made it an emotional core of your identity.
I tried hard to get a bluesky invite a few months ago. Even put a few bids on ebay hoping to get one for less then $100. The fomo has since passed. Probably wouldn't bother signing up if I got one today.
Sadly they copied the Quote Tweet function for Threads, when Mastodon mercifully didn't.
It's not like it's going to remain this way permanently, a lot is still under development. It's not just about infra scale, they are still hammering out things like how moderation will work, and that is the sort of thing best to iron out before the floodgates are opened.
If there had been no industrial revolution, we would all still be farming with minimal formal education, not going to Oxbridge.
I don't quite agree with the economic assessment, as I need the jack, jack stands, wrench for the drain plug, etc. for other maintenance and repair tasks, too. The only single-purpose tool is the oil filter wrench, and that was about $10.

Can't argue with your bottom line, though. Even if I consider my time free, I don't really come out ahead.

But - I like changing oil in my car. I get to see the oil as it drains out, the color of it, if it's the amount I expect to see, or if the car's burned some since the last change. It's an excuse to look around under the car and notice if there's any unexpected damage. It just feels good to personally take care of a piece of the infrastructure I depend on.

I think there's one other big advantage of your way, though: you're maintaining a relationship with a mechanic who you trust.
i've been following art communities on twitter, and while threads have indeed taken off massively, there's still a surprising amount of interest on bluesky, and there are people who are joining both, even after threads' opening up. there are several anecdotes of people not liking threads because of its corporate cleanliness.

so no, bluesky isn't as dead as you may think. if anything it's gonna be as big as mastodon, as much as it pains me to say that as a fediverse advocate.
Thanks for the cynicism but the quality of the platform is that I can currently, today, communicate with strangers and friends in good faith without being pelted by noxious crap or adtech gone asymptotic.

Having worked performing assessments against these frameworks and standards. The important thing people need to know particularly for NIST, is that you could have a clean bill of health today. But if one or two of your controls fails tomorrow, then you may run into trouble.

NIST isn't a maturity framework, it doesn't tell you that you need x control in place to be x level of maturity. It gives you control objectives that you need to design and operate effectively over time.

You might have a great set of controls across penetration testing and vulnerability management today, but if you fail to perform one of these controls tomorrow you will be vulnerable.

For example, I have performed controls assessments against organisations that have implement CIS controls. I have seen more often than not, CIS controls not being fully implemented as per the wording of the control AND the control not having been performed appropriately.

This is where using a cyber security standard and obtaining controls assurance is very important.
Something tells me Stanford grad students are smart enough to see through cheap ploys like the one you suggest. If that's not the case, maybe Stanford doesn't deserve the clout it enjoys.
> This may be shocking to you, but _all_ code is effectively compiled to "machine code" eventually.

I'm not sure you understood the point. It means nothing to claim that deep down it's all opcodes or electrons flowing. What matters is being able to transform the code targeting the high level interface to the lowest level interface in a way that remains usable and regression-free. Sometimes compilers for widely popular languages introduce bugs and weird behavior too.
This is articulated perfectly. I manually add unplanned events to my calendar after they have happened, like dinners, cinema, other things that I consider 'memorable', so that my calendar has more detailed texture to it.

If other data that is being collected anyway could enrich the calendar in exactly this way, it would be amazing.
That's true, but it's vitally important that companies satisfying "framework" requirements for sales enablement understand why they're doing it:

1. They should adopt frameworks only when there's certainty that the revenue coming in from the sales they enable justifies the expense of performing the framework.

2. They should minimize the scope of work they do to satisfy the framework, keeping a clear head about the fact that these are sales enablement tasks, not security program tasks.

3. They should design and execute a real security program independent of the frameworks, being careful not to let the real program get led around by the framework compliance tasks, which are unrelated to security.

The real danger with these frameworks is that people don't do (3), but rather use the framework as a runbook for building a security practice. That's a terrible idea with a terrible track record, because frameworks aren't designed to security your company, but rather to document what a consortium of IT security people, largely from huge companies with diffuse, unaccountable security teams, happen to be doing.
The "EV price war" is only happened in China. I wish it happens everywhere (only with better quality vehicles)
I don't get the argument that scaling is harder for startups than for Big Tech.

1. At Meta, you had to use internal "approved" tooling to build you product. which is far worse than products in open market. BlueSky can put it all on serverless like AWS Lambda and call it a day.

2. If funds are an issue, then raise more. There's no way around it. you had to scale sometime. Even if you optimise well, you'll still burn a huge amount supporting free users.

3. Threads was built by 10 Engineers. A simple MVP shouldn't have a massive team behind it anyways.

I feel the founders are largely responsible for not having their priorities sorted out.
I was configuring some networking nonsense just the other day and remembered this talk from NSDI. I don't know enough about datacenter networking architectures to comment about the merits of their work and how well it works, but the approach in general seems promising.

I talked with the author at the conference about how their approach contrasts with something like tailscale, which is the almost complete opposite approach to an adjacent problem in networking. Interesting to see how much work has gone into getting around traditional networking architectures.
Wait, what does Threads show you if it doesn't have a following feed? Also, how the hell do you launch a Twitter competitor without search and tags?

Gotta have my filter bubble to protect me from 'misinformation.' At least this time it is crowdsourced so Jack doesn't even have to cooperate with any political campaigns.
The discomfort is because html and css were misabstracted. They were designed for the old world of documents, where the idea of restyling a bunch of documents for a new letterhead (etc.) makes a lot of sense.

They've been adapted for the world of interface design, but the separation of concerns doesn't make sense in that axis. It makes sense for the content of a document to be separate from it's style. It doesn't make as much sense to separate the structure of an interface from it's style. (In practice they are almost always tightly coupled.)

Tailwind is flattening these back down into roughly one layer from the author's perspective, where they make sense for the design work.

(I wrote a bit more about this perspective in https://t-ravis.com/post/doc/what_color_is_your_markup/)
Lot of negative comments here but IMO this is huge. The best way to keep anything commercial good in the long term is competition, and the only way to have competition with web services is if users can go somewhere else, which requires a portable identity/username and open protocols. Bluesky is currently the only platform offering both in a convenient package. Even Mastodon doesn't make it this easy[0].

I'm not a fan of Greenpeace and I haven't checked their number here .. but it passes the "it'd be at least that much" test for order of magnitude:

Koch Family Foundations have spent $145,555,197 directly financing 90 groups that have attacked climate change science and policy solutions, from 1997-2018.

https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/fighting-climate-chaos/climat...

My main quibble is that as I've been around geophysical energy and mineral exploration since the 1980s I'd argue that Koch and Co. started funding anti-climate change think tanks and policy groups a lot earlier than 1997.

They've been prepackaging all manner of FUD talking points and passing them out to media groups for almost 50 years.

They torpedoed any chance of decent widespread public transport in the US, simply to keep the demand for individual freedom loving liberty driven gas guzzling high and profits flowing.

It's remarkable how easily led by the nose central north americans have been.
Yeah, the best way is to go back to the original post and submit comment there on top level. Make sure HN recognize that as a correct href and your blog has alternative link to rss/atom. And for now only users with 100+ karma are included.

I left the console.log there as well to show which blogs aren't recognized.

I am also open for PR. It was just a few hours project to get it going, but if people will find it useful, would be nice to get some tags from the blogs, so it would be possible to extract the list only for specific technology/topics.
One: that number is wildly inaccurate and only considers one tiny slice of the GPU market.

Two; iOS has a minority share of the market too. Less than a third of it. Guess you’d also call Apple unsuccessful in the mobile space?

No. No you would not. So, clearly market share of one segment is not the be-all end-all you are claiming.
It is fine, there's a huge diversity in social media right now. I don't think Bluesky has a good narrative for any particular kind of user. I don't think it's going to hit cozy web status being an open air massively global network. The hallmark of the cozy web is a mix of private/semi-open/actually niche communities.
Companies doing useless crap with AI has been a thing long before the current AI popularity spike. I've heard a specialist complain about that trend 5 years ago, where clients couldn't say what they wanted to do with an AI but they "knew" they needed one. That doesn't make it a grift, though.
It is worth pointing out, that this meta research, put forward by a team of "alternative medicine" proponents at Mangalore, is of relatively weak evidentiary strength and has not been replicated or strengthened since 2019.

Tea doesn't hurt, and there are some strong evidentiary ties of green tea extract in the easing of the effects of NAFLD, but generally it'd be dangerous to see it as a valid treatment option for viral Hepatitis or NAFLD effects.

> "His answer: 'Not at all. Intel should be afraid of us. We will be bigger than them.' There was not a trace of doubt."

Given all the times that HN readers have derided grandiose executive pronouncements preceding flops, more people should recognize the above for what it is: not profundity but just puffery that happened to pan out. Not that skill and effort weren't involved in making it pan out but that any of a zillion things could have gone wrong to make that statement false and part of any manager's job is to project confidence and instill motivation despite knowing that.
Suffice to say they're AI researchers with access to advanced lab environments. If they told you the secret to getting sparks of AGI yourself, how would they fund their Large Language Collider?

If you mostly cook at home, you're not really involved in their market, so of course you're not going to have a vested interest in what happens. In the same way I'm sure you're not overly interested in what happens to the e-scooter market?

But someone who actually doesn't drive drunk, doesn't text, or drive like an asshole actually is a better driver than average.

Those are absolute numbers. Germany's population is more than twice that of Poland.

> concept of a semantic web we as a society have been building towards for decades

This makes no sense to me. Semantic Web was a mostly failed attempt at making web pages readable to machines. Your actual complaint seems to be Separation of Concerns. Nevertheless, that is something that is only of interest to a subset of developers. Society doesn't care.
While needing to read the news may be specific to Arch, it's going to cause the same problems if you don't read the news before daily updates or yearly updates. It doesn't explain the idea that rare updates is guaranteed breakage.
> It would never happen, since it would ruffle to many political feathers

Wrong. It would never happen because it would be too unreliable so nobody would use it.

The few times I used DoorDash the orders took twice as long as the estimate even though I live near a city center and always tipped the highest recommended abount.

And that is why these workers are definitely employees who should be paid for their availability.
Ask HN: Where can I find the historical journey of various open standards?
I’ve delved into initial RFCs for a variety of open standards, finding particular joy in perusing originals like SMTP from 1982.

However, I’m keen to gain a deeper understanding of the stages preceding the RFC publication. Are there resources documenting these early periods? I’m interested in the process of ideating solutions and understanding the technology’s state at that time. Taking SMTP as an example, what protocols, if any, were in use for data sharing? I’m aware that FTP was around, but I lack insight into what was practically implemented.

Furthermore, I’m curious about the decision-making process behind these proposals.

I welcome any and all sources that could shed light on these areas of interest. Thank you!

That doesn't match my experience getting an education in University.

I was excited for actual learning and education but what I found was a bureaucratic box checking exercise.

That's not to say that learning didn't occur or that individual professors or students didn't care about learning. It's just to say that the 'system' of Universities didn't care all that much about learning, or at the very least it was not the primary objective of the system.

Something like the ability to follow procedures, conformity, compliance, etc. seemed to be the point. Or perhaps the primary purpose of Universities seems to be to perpetuate the existence of the University.

The real value of University for me was networking and job opportunities (which are a kind of networking).
Also in Central Asia. They told me there: green tea in summer, black tea in winter.

And also, we keep the good one for us, we sell the bad one to Europe, we grind the very bad one and sell it to Europe to make tea bags. Luckily I almost never use tea bags.
Not everyone is smart enough to get into degrees studying philosophy, literature, and history. Some people instead get jobs as cashiers or plumbers.

Does it seem fair to you that they should subsidise the education of people smarter than them? For those people to learn subjects that don't contribute as much to the economy (ie. are able to contribute less toward paying for future students to study)?

It's easy to say education is an end in itself when you're the beneficiary of it and some poor schmuck is paying the bill.
You use HTML5 query selectors, not xQuery. You don't use your generic XML tools, you use generic HTML5 tools. As for "why learn them so I can drop a few tags": because you don't, you make the tooling do it for you. Because that's what tooling is for.

If you need XML: use XML tools.

If you need HTML: use HTML tools.

If you need XHTML... you're writing web content for IE, and IE is dead. XHTML died with it. Feel free to stick with what you know, but that's a pretty ridiculous argument for why you shouldn't use the thing that's used these days instead of the thing we used 15 years ago =)
