I think it’s great to have a healthy relationship with trust.

What if I told you that there was a strategy that had a 50% risk of what you think is trust is actually deceit. And that having separate finances helps immensely in the situation where this risk is realized.

I have friends who were comfortable and thought all was well for years or even decades. Then it wasn’t. And having commingled finances was unpleasant in that it made divorce and the financial mistakes that much harder to reconcile through years of trial.

Tl;dr; it’s hard to take marriage advice from someone who hasn’t been married for 70 years. It’s like someone saying “this architecture is the best, it’s run for six months without any problems.”

Ask HN: How to efficiently calculate subscription price for a webapp?
Say, I have a webapp and I decide to charge customers per month for using this app. I base my price on infrastructure cost, operations cost, labour cost, profit etc.

That price goes up as per the rise in the costs and profit margin. But there is also something that incurs cost for the app developer, and that is data retention cost. For example, say, a customer generates 5gb of data each month. And my cloud provider charges me 10cents per GB per month to store data. So I charge 50cents to that customer. The next month the user again generates 5gb data. Now my cloud provider will charge me for 10gb of data and my cost has increased. That means the price for the customer also has to increase. This will be like increasing the price of the product every month.

Is there a better way to calculate price where the customer generates monthly data and has to retain it?

Yeah because their plan was stupid. For what's being asked of it, they should make Valencia one-way to accommodate its needs.

I just literally spent the weekend reading about IQ testing in the US and so many legal cases, which was so painful to read

In short, the sum of what I read was that IQ tests seem to be at least somewhat biased in favour or well off native English speakers - and this has resulted in discrimination of various sorts towards minority groups.

I can imagine a technical interview is more about showing you have the skills that they’ve specifically asked for in the job advertisement.
I'd recommend staying away from the 8266s at this point. The chip is EoL and the ESP32 offers double the speed, more than double the IO pins, and bluetooth. The 8266 is limiting with its single ADC pin, and single hardware serial and inability to define other pins for I2C/SPI.

I started with the 8266s thinking I wouldn't need the extra features, and most of my applications don't need it, but the few times I needed to work around the limitations weren't worth the aggravation to save $1-2.

No one has 100% agency, you don't always have a rudder, sometimes the wind capsizes your boat and you drown to death. Sometimes you had to compromise so much that the end result doesn't satisfy you. That's what a midlife crisis is after all. A lot of people did their best, and are still unhappy with the outcome because luck plays a huge role in life.

Some people don't even get boats my friend, they have to try and succeed on a plank of driftwood. I hope you don't have a midlife crisis either, but chances are pretty high your not going to end up exactly where you thought you would be, and hey maybe that ends up being a good thing. Maybe your horizon was okay but you actually lucked into something you loved more.

I'm not giving you a justification, I'm telling you how it is.

> Real engineers don't get away with fuckups with real consequences because of their salary.

I mean they absolutely do.

What is a "real" engineer anyway? I am a licensed engineer (electrical) because I used to work independently as an engineering firm. I understand the various definitions.

The overwhelming majority of those with a title of electrical or computer engineer do not have any kind of professional licensure or certification - at best they may have an accredited 4 year degree.

None of these people are going to be personally liable for fuckups of any kind in their careers.
While 30 days sounds extreme, I’ve got plenty of warnings in the past 25 years from sites which wanted, and did delete my account because I didn’t visit their site in a specified timeframe, like half a year, or a year.
Also, iOS 17 adds using your third-party password manager for using (signing challenges with) passkeys.

The only issue I can find is that you can't select two or more third-party password/passkey filling apps, unless one is "iCloud Passwords & Keychain". So if your setup is 1Password for passwords and iOS for most of your Passkeys, you can do that, but hopefully you use the same third-party passkey and password implementation.

These articles make me question what "success" means in the AI space. Is "success" just making a lot of money or raising a giant funding round or achieving a valuation? If so, then yeah, there's probably some room for at least a few startups to get there by perfectly the surfing the hype wave. I mean, so many are trying, at least one is bound to succeed by pure chance, even if nothing they're doing is particularly groundbreaking... i.e. the "wrapper around ChatGPT" business model that happens to get sold to just the right executives or PE guys or whatever.

However, if by "success" we mean truly revolutionary technology, I find it difficult to think that this will actually come out of any company trying to be profitable in the current environment. There's just too much urgency around things that are concrete, have low uncertainty, and immediate payoff, either in terms of checked boxes engineering managers can report upwards or 'initiatives' that executives can show their boards. I can't imagine doing anything resembling 'research' in that kind of environment. We'll probably have to wait until after the next recession for companies to get comfortable with throwing money and headcount at these kinds of things.

I quite wish that in studies like this, the projections of the subjects themselves were also evaluated. What their self reported expectation was, as well as their projection of the impact of the treatment, and then one week on whether they thought they were getting the placebo or the actual drug. It would be really interesting to contrast it against the final outcomes.

The reason I mention this is SSRIs. In modern controlled trials, they show a placebo level effect on many things they're still actively used to treat. And that's quite impressive given the dramatic side effects of them, making a double blind study essentially impossible. And so in any domain where psychosomatic issues may play a role, which is arguably most of everything, it would seem that projections contrasted against outcomes would be quite informative.

Most soda (not energy drinks) has very little caffeine. 12oz Diet coke has 42mg, black tea is 50mg, coffee varies but I see at least 100mg.

Its absolutely not the same thing from a hardware perspective. Normal components always operate on bits. We see "5", but the computer sees (at least) 3 bits. It then sends its output as bits to the next one. A 5 must require 3 wires, or 3 cycles of the clock over a single wire.

Building a computer where each wire can encode multiple bits of data at the exact same time fundamentally changes the way operations are done. The entire thing would need to be built in a different way, with different consequences.

It might be a bad idea, or impossible, but it would be different.
Very excited for this. I wish more films went with the no marketing approach, but I suppose it can only (maybe?) work if you're as regarded as Miyazaki.
I think the lifestyle you desire can be had somewhat near downtown areas of large cities in the South. However, areas tend to quickly flip-flop between gentrified and not. Things within walking distance may be slightly limited.

Worse, this is really just for the 20-30s crowd or childless crowd. As soon as you have kid(s), you’ll probably find this unsuitable (school quality/location, 3 floor townhouse design, etc). If you went to college and grad school and then moved out there, you might only have 5 years of this…

For the better schools in a more solidly middle class area, one easily ends up in a suburb. And if one desires a house less than 20yrs old, one learns about unknown communities formerly believed to be in remote reaches beyond the boundaries of known civilization… (I jest but they are way out from the city center!)

And remote jobs aren’t a panacea. If one has kids in school, they can’t just uproot their family and move to a rural mountain town across the country on a whim.

I’ve also always been vexed that I can’t live near where I work. Aside from years of long commutes, the distance caused me to largely miss out on after-hours social events. Almost felt like a foreigner next to the people who lived closer.

Yes.

It should perhaps better be described as a mid-life-expectancy crisis.

Japan surrendered to the US to not be invaded by the Soviets, who had just called off their truce, swept the Kwantung army in Manchuria, and were on the verge of doing the same through Japan's undefended north. Stalin would have treated the emperor far differently from MacArthur, and the best case scenario for Japan had it not surrendered to the US prior to that invasion would have us talking about the possibility of reunification of North Japan and South Japan today.

That's how I was around 40 (though my children were 6 and 3 at the time). I'm definitely going through a midlife crisis. One thing I've learned about myself in this period (it started last year) is that there is nothing worth losing your own mental health over. If you aren't mentally healthy and stable, those you care about the most are going to suffer all the more for it. Sometimes you have to pick the least of multiple bad options, and often "powering through" is not that.

Similar experience here. The sweetness of regular coke bothers me. Diet coke is more tart and sweet.

I do actually agree with the merit of this scheme, now that you’ve laid it out. I still thing the example values you use are extraordinarily high (“10k” / month) but I take your point. Cheers
Never heard of it before, but I would guess almost certainly due to exclusions in non-specific policies.

> I don't understand couples that keep separate finances

> You can have a "for the bills" join account, and then each person has their own separate account.

If you keep your own separate account, in any way, shape, or form, you are keeping separate finances. Transferring money into a shared "staging" account to pay bills from is just a more convenient implementation of one person paying the bills and then requesting money from the other. Either way of doing this - shared account "pool", or transferring on a case-by-case basis - is fine. What people (including me) are reacting with suspicion to, is the structure of _fully_ joined finances, where neither party has sole control over any finances of their own whatsoever.

Back in the late 90s, there weren't a ton of free email services and most people used an account from their ISP. Extra accounts were hard to come by. If you had a family sharing an internet connection, they might very well share an email address too. This let them have individual Amazon accounts.

The olfactory nerve extends directly from the brain. It is the first cranial nerve pair.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerves

The nerve forms a bulb directly above the nasal cavity. That bulb emits many smaller projections through the skull and into the nasal cavity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cribriform_plate

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olfactory_foramina

The nerves pass through those holes in the bone which are called olfactory foramina. Foramen means hole and these foramina connect the cranial cavity to the nasal cavity.

The paranasal sinuses are nearby structures. The olfactory nerves do not go in there.

It's absolutely a fact that the nose is pretty much directly connected to the brain though. The best demonstration of this fact is naegleriasis:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naegleria_fowleri

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naegleriasis

This thing lives in water. If that water enters your nasal cavity, it will travel via olfactory nerve to your brain where it will proceed to literally eat it.

These two are _pretty_ similar (though not the same) - neither has inherent judgement in them, they're just flavours of "eh - it's not for me". Much more important to avoid conflating "I don't understand people who do X" and "People who do X are wrong".

It means you'll never be 18 or 23 or 30 or 35 again. The youth that you took for granted is gone forever and time will march with you until your death. Death may be maybe be 2 years from now or 40 years from now, fully knowing that you body will start failing. Even if you have 40 years, not all of them will be good years, especially the last ones. Once you are gone, that's it, all the time you spent improving yourself and building wealth will be for naught, at least for you.

FWIW you mostly can’t smell yourself the same way other smell you. So even if you did stink, you wouldn’t normally notice.

When people smell their pits, they can tell when it stinks, but they have to really get their nose in there, whereas other people smell you from 10 feet away.

$5.9M in revenue over 162294 trips works out to about $36/trip. Average of 444 trips/day.

$5.2M in driver wages over $60k/driver/year (conservatively, $30/hour * 8 hours/day * 250 work days/year) works out to about 86 drivers; less if they pay each driver more or each driver works longer hours; more if drivers aren't full time. Each driver gets, like, 5 fares a day. (I would also believe $120k/driver/year and 10 fares a day.)

Prescheduled rides seems like a nice niche; better than sitting around in a TNC lot for hours waiting for an airport fare. Would be curious to see how and if they get to the max 2.5x return for the WeFunder though.

I just checked it out. I’m on the iPad. I clicked on the icon for my profile. It shows a grayed out text that says “0 followers”. There is no link for a list of people I’m following and there is no display of who I’m following. After a while of poking around I see that if I click on “0 followers” - and it is not obvious at all that this is a link - I get taken to a page that shows that I have zero followers. There is a tab that says “Following”. I click on it and it shows who I’m following.

This is more preventative treatment vs a after the fact treatment? Am I misunderstanding?

"In conclusion, early outpatient COVID-19 treatment with metformin decreased the subsequent risk of long COVID by 41·3% during 10-month follow-up. This finding is consistent with the 42·3% reduction in health-care utilisation for severe COVID-19 with metformin in the first 14 days of the trial. Fluvoxamine and ivermectin did not decrease the risk of long COVID, which was also consistent with the findings for severe COVID-19 outcomes by day 14. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, all therapeutics require further prospective, interventional trials to assess long COVID incidence, including among people who have received vaccination and booster vaccination, and people with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Power consumption. Maybe not so much on the Dev board, but IIRC I can get an ESP32 down to lower power consumption on a custom board.

So I might well start developing on an ESP32 board knowing that my final target is an ESP32 custom board.
