I had a brilliant sales cofounder but ultimately he didn't take an equal share. He was basically a 10x salesman. I worked with a lot of startups and he managed to cover about a month of "customer validation" in a day. But basically I ended up taking product, logistics, & engineering and it wasn't a fair split.

I think we made the mistake of not making him CEO. The CEO always has to be present when pitching to a major investor. So it ended up being me doing the pitching and I never had time to work on the product. The product guy also tends to be the CEO.

We learned from that mistake and he went on to be a CEO of a million dollar startup running on WordPress. Sadly, they focused on sports and didn't do well during covid.
In a popular sci-fi (avoiding spoliers), the alien race has transparent skulls, and their visible thoughts are broadcast to anyone within visual range.

It does seem more efficient than sound.
> Well, if you do the math, 15 minutes a day times 230 working days a year equals just shy of 60 hours - or 1.5 work weeks - wasted per year. Multiply that by the size of the engineering organization, and this starts to look pretty expensive.

I hate this type of reasoning. 15 minutes a day is 3% of the day. Multiply that by 230 working days a year and it's 3% of the year. Multiply that by the size of the engineering organization, it's 3%. Your maximum savings here is 3%, no matter how many numbers you multiply it by.

- Is relationship quality THE ONLY thing that matters? Certainly it's very important, but individuals needs and wants, or desire to help other family members are not NOTHING. If drop in relationship quality was slight, but improvements to these other areas were pronounced, could be a trade off to consider?

- Couples were randomly assigned to each group and presumably ones who didn't adhere dropped out of study. Would the results be the same if decisions were made based on a heartfelt discussion, with agreement to try the other arrangement if the first one caused too much friction.

- Why is it an either/or? Is it a given that keeping a small "for personable hobbies" account while depositing most money in a family fund would hurt? Conversely, would rationally planning family needs and then keeping the rest of the money for personal enjoyment or treating each other with gifts/experiences be bad?

I am lucky enough to have inexpensive hobbies, so I can just spend of them as I wish and it's not going to move a needle on family finances. But if someone wants a family AND to climb Everest, I would not begrudge them not giving up on either dream.
That's not really relevant. I didn't say it was the best measure, I said PPP GDP is better than nominal GDP. All you did was argue that there are better measures. Both which I agree with and is irrelevant. Sure, median income is better than mean income.

Given that, PPP is better than nominal, however you compute the average.
Presentation of medical studies surrounding aspartame (one of the most heavily studied foods in human history) are a perfect canary to determine if an organization cares about scientific accuracy, or appearing in headlines.
I "made it" (financially set for life) in the past two years after selling my company at 33. I was chasing something like it since I was maybe 15, tired of having grown up poor and wanting better for my family and myself.

I'm still not happy but at least I know I'd rather have money and be sad than also being worried about money on top of that. I definitely need to get back some semblance of meaning in my life, but at 34 now (without kids) and still feeling like I'm 25 because my perception of time is warped by attention deficit.. I feel like the only years I care about are soon to be over (under 40).

The further I get from my childhood the less I want to be here.
It’s exciting to see a study on Long Covid taken seriously. I know people whose lives have been absolutely wrecked by this and they often have trouble being taken seriously by medical professionals. This is heartening.
Pretty much. HTML parsing produces a content model, where the model's whitespace matches pretty faithfully what's in the source document. At some later point, that model is massaged into the thing that you see and interact with—but the model itself retains everything; this is like a filter, if it helps to think of it that way, or a projection of a complex (e.g. 3D object) onto a lesser substrate (e.g. 2D plane).

Offhand, and after a few glasses of wine, there are a couple points where the whitespace collapse will occur:

- at the display level—when it's time for the browser to actually put the thing on the screen—for CSS contexts where the white-space property is "normal" or something similar, at least, or

- at the interaction level, when something like text selection happens, and the browser computes essentially the equivalent of node.innerText (versus node.textContent; alternatively: node.nodeValue, in cases where the node in question is a text node)
As someone whose only previous knowledge of ivermectin was from being given it to treat a parasite infection acquired in the backwaters of southeast asia a decade ago, I've been confused to see it keep coming up in the context of COVID. I thought it was just some weird Internet fad from the pandemic, but then here's a Lancet article about a trial evaluating the use of it for "long COVID". What is the proposed mechanism of action?
"almost profitable" ???

"net loss of just $318,000 in 2022"
"earned $5.9 million in revenue from 162,294 successful trips — and $5.2 million of that went directly to driver wages"

Let's do the math: they earned $700K in net revenue and lost $318K - for a margin of -45.43%... sounds grim...

But... if they can double the net revenue to $1.4M while only growing costs 25% to 1.3M then voila they're breakeven/ramen-profitable...
good point, we'll add that!

Digression, story: Years ago I worked in a place that, if you attempted and failed 3 times to login to your account, your account would be locked and you had to see the help desk in person to prove your identity to get it back. And of course somehow this kept happening to me (perhaps a vengeful or stupid coworker?). Fortunately they changed their methods when one week a whole bunch of people had to see the help desk after their accounts were mysteriously locked.
Another way to say it is that just as in eukaryotes, just because a gene is found in the genome of a microbe does not mean that associated protein will be expressed.

The genes could be under tight regulation (e.g. epigenetic) and only get accessed in specific instances/people.

Let's not forget, it's not in their best interest for microbes to kill you quickly, it's better to replicate and spread. You can do that as a pathogen, or you can do that as a friendly member of the microbiota.

There are also mechanisms which "tame" the microbiota, such as the continuous secretion of mucus which is extremely diverse in its arrangement of sugars which continuously feeds the microbes but doesn't let any one metabolic strategy take over.
Yes. It’s in the second sentence of the background section at the top.
“We aimed to evaluate whether outpatient COVID-19 treatment with metformin, ivermectin, or fluvoxamine soon after SARS-CoV-2 infection could reduce the risk of long COVID.”
It's orthogonal. Nominal GDP (or income) is if you took it to the money exchange and turned it into the same global currency (say US Dollars or Euros). PPP GDP (or income) takes into account how much stuff you can buy.

Whether it's better to take the median income or the per capita GDP (which is closer to the mean income) to represent the "typical" person is a different question.
Plain Old Data. It's the same as POJOs in Java or POCOs in C#. It's essentially a class with no logic associated with it (so no member functions or private/public mixed data). Technically everything in C is POD. The Cpp docs have a more formal definition as well here https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/PODType .
It's not just Gen X, I had a Pokedex with a full keyboard and a tiny LCD as a kid, and I had exactly this sort of feeling about it. That the thing itself wasn't very practical or even that interesting in the long run was beside the point; it stood in for an ideal.

Don't even get me started on my 2003-era Sony minidisc players. The odd moment between Walkman and MP3 player, and kind of amazing. There's something honest about capturing and storing sound in real time.

But I recorded all kinds of nonsense to mine besides music. Morning radio chatter, a weird Top 40 verse, friends joking on the bus. Fleeting magic.
Also no DNS club and quite likely no Unicode club as well (haven't checked)
Apple’s Hide-my-email service is only useful to people who don’t have their own domain-name for email. I assume most of here on HM have a vanity dot-com or dot-me that we just point to GMail (or maybe Office 365 if you lean that way) - all those services (not to mention self-hosted) allow us to set arbitrary, catch-all, and disposable addresses (even the perpetually un-cool O365 supports it now too).

I’ll never use Apple’s Hide-my-email service until they let us use it with our own domain-names. It’s my email mailbox and my dodgy account registration, not Apple’s.
It will be the centrifuges, and the extra words are to help obscure the intended target of the promise in an effort to continue the wide scale obfuscation of nuclear technology as part of the whole “born secret” international non-proliferation effort thing.

The issue with nuclear weapons isn’t the weapon it’s the enrichment. The isotopic separation via centrifugal forces is the most efficient and technically challenging method of enrichment, and the hardware required involves extremely high RPMs and requires running them non stop round the clock in banks of hundreds of connected together so that the tiny fraction of a percentage each individual centrifuge can enrich the isotopes eventually ends up adding up to a significant enough to be useful for nuclear stuff.

As you can imagine building a 50 thousand RPM centrifuge to run 24/7 is quite challenging and involves a lot of high precision parts.

There’s plenty of parking in Manhattan, it just isn’t free. Parking isn’t the force that shapes the world. Free parking is.

Suburbs have zoning standards that usually require more parking than required. The average big box lot has parking stalls that have never used for anything other than piling up snow.
What language change are you talking about? This is just a proposed construct to regularise and make efficient something people already do (as you says with “state”).

I’ve used iterators similar to what’s described in this article to avoid allocations in critical code paths, but this would make those much less awkward to use (particularly with the upcoming range iterator language change).
No one said GDP was distributed evenly. My point was PPP GDP is better than nominal GDP. IF you use median income, PPP median income is better than nominal median income.

It doesn't even have on chip wireless and the drivers are proprietary. Also external flash that can't be protected using fuses. If's fine for hobby level stuff, but that's about it. If you want to make a product and not have it cloned and the firmware copied, good luck. Also the ESP32 has a power management coprocessor allowing it to.operate on batteries, wake up and do stuff, then go to sleep.

The RP2040's highlight is the PIO and the ease of deployong the firmware, although I find flashing the ESP chips much more straightforward.

Anyway, there are still issues with the official 1.20 and 1.19 micropython esp32 spiram images throwing random guru meditation error messages from esp-idf. I'm using it them with several ESP32 WROVER modules, they all crash in the same ways. Maybe I waste 19€ plus shipping on a Nano ESP32 to see if it still crashes on the U-blox module.
As with anything in engineering, it depends.

I'm curious how long it takes / how many people / what special equipment or vehicles were required to set up these types of semi-improvised runways.
Classic. Love it.
Kotlin's sequence pre-dates co-routines. Mostly what either of those do is just a bit of syntactic sugar on top of call back mechanisms. One of the nice things with Kotlin is the ability to extend existing APIs via extension functions. Which is something the co-routines library uses extensively to be able to provide co-routine implementations on top of existing frameworks on the JVM, in javascript, and in native environments. Same APIs. Same code. Different underlying implementations. I actively use this in some of my multi platform libraries that I use on JVM and in the browser.

The key concept with Kotlin's co-routines is not having to choose between reactive, green threads, or real threads but treating all of those in the same way with a robust set of abstractions. I use co-routines in the browser on top of existing javascript frameworks that return promises. I use them on the JVM with reactive frameworks like flux. And I also use them with some thread pools. Once Loom reaches LTS (next year, I think), I'll probably be configuring some Loom capable co-routine dispatchers as well.

The debate regarding co-routines vs. go-routines seems like it is similar. I think Go can learn a thing or two from Kotlin's co-routines. After all it is mostly built as a library on top of a single language feature: the suspend keyword. I get that not everybody likes colored functions. But then having a lot of leaky abstractions and related complexity on top of go routines is maybe also not ideal.

> I have wondered if a pure market making app would work... let drivers and riders place bids... a driver can lower their bid to get hired faster and a rider can increase their bid to get picked up faster. The app would just take a fixed cut.

There’s a service in Ukraine called Uklon[0] that does pretty much exactly that. If you bid very low, it’d both take longer to find a ride, and the car/driver would usually not be great. Think a 25+ year old daewoo with no ac that smells like smoke on the lowest end vs. newish Camrys or other regular fleet cars on the mid-higher side.

A script creates a database instance from a container, restores backup into it, makes some checks (e.G. table sizes above some value, audit table contains data up to the backup point etc.), sends out email that everything looks ok.
I wouldn’t say it’s only useful for people without vanity domain names - it also adds a level anonymity should the user database get leaked (IE: it’ll be a random HME account that will look like every other, vs your specific domain name)

Also FWIW you can use it with custom domains - I use it with fastmail and have since day one (their version of it isn’t as tightly integrated as Apple but they offer this service as well). Hope this helps!

It's also very easy to fall for the sensation that not being religious grants one omniscient knowledge of those who are. Somewhat ironically, some religions are some of the best ways to learn about this and other important phenomena that seem unknown to secularists (in ways that are important, and doing some reading ain't guaranteed to make the cut).

Everyone is doing their best, but each of us have our own blind spots. Best to work as a team so we can cover each other's shortcomings.

Maybe for construction, if the building is designed around the need for parking. Parking garage operations are expensive. Self park doesn’t generate enough yield in a dense urban environment. You need to stack cars in there, maybe offer valet contracts to hotels, etc.

Even in cheap city, urban monthly covered parking is around $150.
I'm particularly interested in their shady data privacy shenanigans. How would this hold up against a GDPR complaint? It doesn't sound like they're properly listing what data is to be tracked, meaning users are by definition unable to consent, so any amount of data collection is unlawful, no?

So if employees are more productive, you would naturally expect all of the benefits of that increased productivity to go to their employers?

I'm curious as to your reasoning about why people do anything other than the absolute minimum to receive their paycheck.
Well, are you posting together to Hacker News, or is it your personal hobby that you don't feel bad pursuing instead of doing another load of laundry. Shouldn't it be "I" and "We", with balancing shifting from couple to couple and over time? Personally if I like game on Steam, I just buy it rather than asking my spouse. So joint account is also kind of like my account, so long as I am reasonable. But for people with limited resources or big dreams, things may be more complicated. I would want to know if my Steam purchase still leaves money for the water bill.

I'm not the person you're responding to, but both my parents passed away in their mid-50s, and after my startup failed at 35 I hit something like a midlife crisis.

If you believe mid 30s is middle-aged, then it becomes middle-aged - and unfortunately, for some that might be true.

Fortunately for me, this crisis led to a serious investment in my health and fitness, and though I obviously cannot predict my future, I'm far healthier now than anytime in my adult life. I fully agree with the sentiment to not waste a midlife crisis.
Indeed, another way to see this is that's just forex valuation change.

2008 was the peak of EUR value after subprime crises in USA. And the "nearly two times" is more like 1.60 which is explained by the value of the euro coming back from 1.6$ to the more sustainable long term value of 1$.

I agree with you that writing anything significant (comfortably) requires more than BASIC gives and you need to move on to something more substantial pretty quickly.

In my case the beginning of my path was:

ROM basic on a Compucolor.
GWBasic on a XT PC.
Turbo Pascal.
Quick C/Turbo C.

A bit of assembly thrown in in between (think more Debug than MASM).

Edit: added my path
The Intel 8087 math coprocessor (1980) had too much microcode to fit into a standard ROM. It was implemented with a special ROM that stored two bits per transistor by using four different transistor sizes, almost doubling the density. Each value read from the ROM was thresholded to generate two output bits. This technique was also used in the iAPX 432's I/O processor chip.
