Unfortunately it's the wrong comparison to make.

Two cars sitting still in a car park won't collide with each other, but there's no way to sit still in orbit.

Any two circular orbits at the same altitude will intersect at two points. You have to be very careful to make sure objects in such orbits will not collide with each other. It's far easier to make the orbits slightly different sizes or shapes, so that they don't intersect at all.

In any case, the need to be in an orbit to stay in orbit severely restricts your free choices for where to put your objects, so there is not as much free space as you might expect.

It is official; Netcraft now confirms: BSD is dying

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered BSD community when IDC confirmed that BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming close on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for BSD because BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for BSD. As many of us are already aware, BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.

Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that BSD has steadily declined in market share. BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a cockeyed miracle could save BSD from its fate at this point in time. For all practical purposes, BSD is dead.

Fact: BSD is dying

Out of curiosity, who drinks Sapporo? I've occasionally seen it at sushi houses of course, like Maneki in Seattle, but that's not going to be the volume that drives buying out regional breweries. Is there a big west coast immigrant Japanese community that drinks it habitually in mass market quantity like the American market drinks domestics? None of my east Asian American friends really drink to speak of, at least not where I can see.
In a two party system it is often a “worse of two evils” …

But when you have people like some of the people put forth by the GOP as candidates… it can be hard to avoid a good vs evil comparison… Democrats aren’t automatically good people and a lot of them at various levels of politics are clearly just in it for the money and power… but some of these Republican candidates… I don’t even know how some of them get votes beyond hardcore republican voters who will vote republican because they believe, at a near religious level, that they are a republican voter be it earnest thought, parental indoctrination, or just outright propaganda, but they have been convinced and are now locked in and will remain “republican voters”.

George Washington had it right, political parties weaken the mind and rot society through the slow abrogation of decision making towards deference to a greater party loyalty when the first loyalty of an elected official should be to their office, and the second to those who elected them. He saw it coming and warned against it in his farewell address to congress after just 8 years as President he could see the seeds of what would become modern political polarisation growing…

It's not the same thing. If I define a function that always returns 1 then the Shannon entropy is extremely low regardless if the Boltzmann entropy of running it on a CPU is high. That the two measures can be different shows they cannot be the same thing. Related in concept, different in definition. In fact, you can even use the same formulas for calculating it - what differs is what your calculating it on.

OAuth sites will let you change your OAuth provider or even better switch to a local account on their site and use a password manager so you don't tie everything to an OAuth provider unless the site will accept a self hosted one.

I'm not claiming that activities that were allowed by the ruling has no influence on politicians, just that "legalised bribery" is objectively false. You might argue that the two are kinda the same thing, so equating them for rhetorical effect is fine, but this presents a problem: what the supreme court actually legalizes bribery? What would we call it then? We already established that they "legalized bribery", so we can't say that again.

It feels like even Western governments are becoming more and more protective of their aristocrat-class, and openly collude and steal from the people.

Canada (legally) abused its judicial reach on finance institutions during the pandemic.

The US Congress is pretty much openly using insider knowledge to win big on stocks.

The Democrats launched FBI investigations against their political opponents without sufficient legal backing.

The Republicans tried to bully their way into countering the will of the people by blocking the presidential election results.

France passed through unconstitutional reforms without the votes.
The UK's Conservative party misled the public about the EU to get the Brexit vote.

All of this without a care in the world about the effects it has on its citizens. All they care about is themselves and their fights. They have completely lost track of serving the people, and are fully comfortable in serving themselves at the expense of the people.

Well that sounds like overreach.
While the MBA-think might be too focused on profit maximization, on the other side of that coin there’s a flawed, perhaps romantic notion that a business with more modest ambitious always has the right and/or ability to survive. In reality, all businesses are a part of a constantly evolving environment that isn’t always kind to stagnation and inefficiency.

Businesses aren’t insulated from exterior forces like competitors. If you aren’t squeezing for pennies and your competitors are, they’re going to be offering your same solution at a better price.

Real estate prices make things stupid expensive in SF, but this business has been around, owning the same property, for close to a century before real estate prices became insane in SF.
To paraphrase Richard Pryor, I support anyone trying to do anything at anytime. It’s so, so easy to be a passive consumer, a critic. It is so much more dangerous and vulnerable to put yourself out there and make something - anything - beyond simply doing what you are told. Whether it’s making art or making businesses.

If you start businesses, you will fail. Fact of life. Happened to me many times. You know what investors like to back? Second and third time founders - “serial entrepreneurs”. Backing a 20 year old college dropout with a few million bucks is a down payment on the future because they will inevitably fuck it up, but 10 years from now if they are still in the game and failed a couple times they will take your check and the odds of failure have gone down significantly.

With the market the way it is right now, many entrepreneurs (and their employees) reading are likely staring down the barrel of failure. Bite the bullet and move on because no one wants your zombie company with a too-high valuation that’s going to putter along for 2 more years and collapse anyway or get acquihired. Just restart with a clean cap table and a more cost efficient idea.

I can weed through the rest of your fringe theory comments but I take issue with this:

> We are squeamish about it today, but children have not yet developed their reasoning faculties well, and they haven't learned impulse control or disciplining their desires. This means punishment for obstinate bona fide bad behavior must rely on licit means of producing unpleasantness, as these are readily perceived by children and taken to counteract indulgence.

What exactly are you advocating for? Corporeal punishment?

If children haven't developed their reasoning faculties well, as you say, and "haven't learned impulse control or to discipline their desires" then what effect do you think any sort of punishment achieves? This is some real third rate logic here.

ADHD is so obviously predominantly genetic that it makes me sick. Get out of here with this "indulgence and softness" nonsense.

If you're trying to say that there isn't a one size fits all way to bring up a child, I will certainly agree with you there. But you're clearly not saying that. Instead you're articulating seemingly smug insight that's actually, and obviously, a thin veil for your endorsement of the beating of children. Your comment makes me feel quite literally sick.
Ask HN: Did you work with Doug Burgum in the tech world?
What was Doug Burgum like during his time in tech?

Some of the things he says about how to run a tech startup baffle me. Like, I just heard him say a CEO should never spend time dealing with customers, only sales should (just like a president has more important things to focus on than the “culture wars”).
Cool. But please tell me that your childhood phone number wasn't 708-642-9XXX (censored in case it's real) because it just told me that "fact"... and we were chatting about trivia night!! lol

It also told me that your mom was an astronaut and that you were born in space. I love this thing!
I mean, is any of this supposed to sound bad, because it sounds like a more-unhinged version of the internet of old and I am here for it!

Any typical group of humans is still a young grub of an organism compared to the individual in those ways. So what you described can be a very hard ask for basically all of humanity, as seen through a team lens, at this point in history.

Sometimes it can help to continually plan and provide gentle interventions that expose the team to individual examples of what you are looking for. As long as that doesn't too severely overlap with what amounts to activities or embarrassing admissions that could torpedo a team member's career later on when you're gone. A very hard ask overall.

Probably the hardest part: If you can do it yourself, as an individual, congrats you get to feel like you could inspire people. But that's you as an individual. The group-organism experiences growth prompts as stress just like individuals do, but with far worse tools for coping. And one of the worst counter-pressures is the ever-present possibility of faking it for a bit and then just changing jobs to escape the awkward stuff, maybe getting a raise in the process.

This is true.

Though ag burning can be a major pollution hazard, most especially of fine particulate matter, as some in the US and Canada may be becoming more familiar with from wildfire.

Which is to say that all methods, practices, and techniques involve trade-offs.
Those aren't foundational questions, though, they're circumstantial evidence. They don't get at whether the scientists did a good job or not. "Why is fraud not a concern" is kinda useless in proving fraud.

Maybe they help you feel a bit more or less confident?

I think reading a paper and asking "okay, what did they actually do, and how could it go wrong" might be a good start, or better yet asking some other scientist who know the field about that?
So what. The stories constantly come out and no one does anything.

If you don't think about it, vacuum marination is appealing: let's try to squeeze the marinade into the meat! This article is about why that doesn't work.

What is missing is a basic explanation of how marinating or brining does work, which should be at the beginning. Even the green-dye test is missing the obvious case where you marinade for say 24 hours.

For one, I think brining and marinating is more than just tasty molecules diffusing into the meat. Informally, the proteins will dissolve or denature in the brine over time. It should be obvious, then, that the vacuum has no impact on this chemical process, but also that this dye test doesn't show anything about this process either.

Second, and I want to know more about this if it's not correct, my understanding is that the salty brine or marinade actually draws water out of the meat at first as due to osmosis trying to achieve equilibrium. Then, the salty marinade is drawn back into the meat, again trending towards equilibrium. It's not just a simple process of random diffusion as this article suggests, but osmosis across a gradient. And osmosis actually does occur faster with higher pressure, but just not enough to matter here. I'm also curious if salt helps the dye at all.
Oh, well, but see, they “stop terrorism”. And if supply is low, they make some.
In this instance, doesn't the FBI have the power to make it illegal to know more details? That was always one of the major weaknesses of the unhinged post-9/11 reforms. Easily abused powers with insufficient checks and no effective channels to uncover abuse. If someone is capable of believing that reform is necessary they'll have to come up with an opinion on the subject without concrete details. James Clapper has a proud record of literally lying to Congress in order to cover up the spy program and the consequences are a plum job at CNN. Which could be spun as a punishment I suppose, but realistically he probably doesn't think so. That isn't an outcome from a system that is going to provide concrete details.

I'm not sure if anyone spied on Obama, but both subsequent presidents have been spied on by their political opponents. A trend likely to continue given the partisan groundwork that has been laid since 2016. There will be rampant nonpartisan corruption in the intelligence agencies targeting US politicians of all stripes.

It's weird how many times I've seen this rough story - business starts, runs fine for years, gets bought by some large conglomerate, gets shuttered as unprofitable, gets re-bought by the employees, and runs fine again. One begins to wonder if there's maybe something gone awry in the modern model of business.
The best writing I’ve found on the experience of failure and how painful it can be, is “Eating Glass” by Mark D Jacobsen. A lot of sample chapters can be read here: https://markdjacobsen.com/eating-glass/

I highly, highly recommend this book. I have no connection to Mark but I did find his book through a comment of his on HN.

I haven't seen anyone mention the EPR (Einstein Podolski Rosen) paper. It's one of the most influential papers to modern physics, having essentially laid out an opposition to how quantum theory works. Leading to Bell's inequalities and their later experimental verification (which essentially proved the EPR argument "wrong").

It is very clearly written does not contain any maths and can be understood by a non expert (IMO) definitely worth a read.
Wow, this aligns with my experiences starting a solo tech start up and then getting acquired as I ran out of cash.

The company that acquired my company then went through internal struggles and the result was that I left after a few years, unable to add value any more.

It feels like a failure, but equally it feels like a good lesson, but a painful one.

It's 2 years after I left and I still think about it.

If I could say something to my past self, I would say that "You're about to learn a hard life lesson" and not change anything.

I'm careful now to try and shine a balanced light on my work there, it wasn't awesome, and it wasn't horrid.

There are more people out there with similar life stories of hard lessons learnt than you might expect, and it's good for both of you to connect with them.

Seriously! They have an amazing article I followed one time to set up a k8s cluster to run any container I wanted with full automatic ssl provisioning/management and dns. Make a quick little yml file that includes what subdomain it wants to be and kubectl apply. The cluster was like $100 a month all-in and performed like a beast at huge traffic levels, and all I did was follow a tutorial.

I know that’s probably pretty easy for many, but I was pretty new to k8s and it felt like magic.
One thing that would help is far more progressive taxation. No one in modern society should have the kind of wealth that enables leveraging politicians and public opinion.
