Sounds exactly like my previous company (Sterblue, YCS18) but with a blimp instead of a drone. Like, same country, same product, same (painful) clients, same vision, similar team, same startup accelerator, same market pitch etc. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17962004

With 8 years experience on this looking back, I can say:

- Good luck guys

- Be very careful to pick the right investors after demo day, that's what killed us in the end.

- You'll have to pick between selling hardware, selling software, selling service. Do not I repeat do not try to do the 3 things at once. Figure out what you are selling early and stick to it.

- The hardware does not matter much, no customer cares if you use a blimp, a drone, a satellite or other, so maybe don't make the hardware your core identity

- If your focus is to solve customer problems, then don't tie your identity to a particular solution.

- If your focus is to sell blimps, then fine, but don't build custom AI for defect detection?

- Wind is already a problem for drones inspecting powerlines and wind turbines, it's going to be a real real big problem for a blimp

- Honestly happy to help you if I can
I use Chrome sync and nothing from my bookmarks appears at https://www.google.com/save/ so there must be more to it than the title implies.
use firefox. the personal information stored on their cloud service (such as bookmarks) can't be accessed even by mozilla.

so, c'mon. just use firefox.

Reddit would not have ever been a good site without voting. Because of that it became one of the best places for finding information on a wide variety of topics.

This comment is cynical to the point of ignoring reality.
Apple requires “notarization,” not just code signing. If you code sign your app and don’t “notarize” it, it will refuse to run. Like it will be harder for the end user to run it than if you had not code signed it at all. Submitting for “notarization” requires an Apple developer account with an active paid subscription and payment method. You have to upload it to Apple and wait for it to be approved in an asynchronous process which can sometimes take tens of minutes each time.
What do you define as a "real" user interface?
Literally millions of people.
That sense is just prior experience, from conversation, news story, etc building memory over time.

“Inequality is growing” headlines have been in the news since the 90s.

What you prescribe to ethereal magic is years of shared prior experience and exposure.
It's assumed that you follow orders up to a certain point. You'll be told every day to do something you don't totally agree with (but isn't criminal), and you should do it anyway without dwelling on it too much, which maybe sounds obvious but some people really dwell.

Except, moving cities isn't a small decision you accept without considering quitting.
I think this depends on a radical redefinition of what it means to "share" something. If I put a book in a self-storage unit, and later go to retrieve it, is the owner of the property "providing" or "sharing" the book? What if I am leasing an apartment from a landlord?

I suppose it is an issue inherent to services set up to run through central providers, who can institute arbitrary controls on the services, i.e. if they don't they are failing to do so, which of course exposes them to liability and censure, et cetera.
Ah yes all of those dystopian novels about bookmarks synchronising across devices. Chilling.
> A private individual or company cannot file criminal/felony charges. Those are filed by a County Prosecutor, District Attorney, State Attorney, etc after being convinced of probable cause.

That's not true, depending on where you live in the US. Several states allow private citizens to file criminal charges with a magistrate. IIRC, NJ law allows actual private prosecution of criminal charges, subject to approval by a judge and prosecutor. I think that's a holdover from English common law.

Mitigate Production Risks with Phased Deployment
This is something I understand as a criticism and my assumptions for why it won't hold have to do with my assumption (based on product releases and papers I've read) that the following capabilities will be rolled out in the coming years:

1. Fine tuning LLM's with a company's internal information (already on the "coming soon" part of OpenAI ChatGPT enterprise)

2. More agentic models able to use tools to retrieve, process, and record data, then access its own work as a sort of memory (lots of open source tools are working on these problems now)

3. Much larger context windows with lower tradeoff, and "networks" of AI models controlled by higher level agents with rotating/overlapping context windows
The other end is Google though, as you'll get access to your Sync data from everywhere you log in.

The solution is probably a service ran on the user end, like the ones offered by Synology or the other NAS makers.

I'm genuinely curious about this. What about non-granular-carbon filters, like the sub-.5-micron extruded ceramic-and-carbon pump filters from someone like (the non-Microsoft) MSR? My understanding is those were significantly different from Britta-likes, and were generally a solid choice for deep backcountry backpacking stuff. At least that was what I used doing 40 miles on Isle Royale's interior trails, where nearly 100% of the readily accessible water is wicked-nasty non-moving water, with giardia and cyanobacteria blooms.
Let's count the number of people who echo in with "Google Bad", and "OMG I can't believe Google is doing that", etc.

It never ceases to amaze me that people will read any randomly written headline on the internet and just assume that it's true, particularly when confirmation bias is present.

edit: The headline here used to be "Google moderates bookmarks", with the implication being that private bookmarks saved to your profile are moderated by Google.

I don't think Julia has been around quite long enough to make that statement yet.

I've just noticed it's now available on the system I work with, which puts it in the frame for a possible (probably far out still)future move for a massive C/Fortran codebase I maintain.

My general default if I'm going to update something is C++, but from what I see of Julia it's at least worth a look.
The pipeline pattern has its uses, but it's not the most important (or even the most well known?) tenant of the Unix philosophy.

It's "Everything is a File"[0]. That one has really stood the test of time.
And it's often misunderstood to mean that everything implements {Read,Write,Seek,Truncate, etc.}. Then when a TCP socket or character device or whatever shows up, the whole abstraction leaks, and it seems like not everything is a file.

The Good Parts of Everything is a File:

1. Everything exists in a Filesystem, meaning a directory tree. There are directories, they list things, either resources, or more directories. A process gets access to all additional resources through the filesystem. We've really screwed up by putting networking in it's own place, environment variables, etc.

2. File descriptors. If you squint, these are capabilities[1], which is probably the best way to manage resource permissions. They are fine grained, they handle delegation, there is a tree of legitimacy back to the root. We were so close, but we got this one wrong too, with a single global root, instead of a chroot per process by default.

When I speak of this mindset I mean the idea of "every man for himself" when it comes to the employees. The idea that everyone must be a winner or loser, they cannot just be a decent contributor and just "be". In Europe we believe much more strongly in this (except for the hardline neoliberal parties)

I didn't really mean it in terms of the corporations which compete in a much harsher macrocapitalist realm. I don't want that harshness to come down to people level. I'm very happy paying taxes for job stability and a social safety net. And other things like free healthcare even though I have enough right now to pay for privatized care.

But I should have explained better what I meant by that, yes.

Changing demographics will make it harder, but I don't think it makes social welfare impossible. There's pressure from governments but if you see the people in France for example, they are happy to pay taxes and retire early. They've just been cheated out of it by their president.

My point was based around the idea that setting goals for yourself and pursuing them is better for you than not doing that. Disagreement on the point would surprise me. I’m not saying we all have to run marathons or hike the AT, but, really, well anything you can set your mind to is good. It could be being a great father or husband, or carpentry, or marathons. Anything is better than doing nothing and scrolling.

I don’t see scrolling as a “leisure pastime”, maybe that’s the crux of our disagreement. But if all of one’s leisure time is spent scrolling I cannot see how that is good for the individual compared to just about anything else.
What I mean is, the situation of people misusing it should get better over time
No, what's being described is a non-decision, of which there is an infinite amount. (I'm not making most of them right now!)

You took "not making a bad decision" to mean "making a good decision", but there is another way to not make a bad decision.
We could be headed towards a future where 80% of software is written by AI, but the other 20% requires 200 million humans.

AI will likely revolutionize some software development tasks, but it is too hard to predict the long term effects when we don't even know the future demand for software.
>- The hardware does not matter much, no customer cares if you use a blimp, a drone, a satellite or other, so maybe don't make the hardware your core identity

I worked at one of those drone-in-a-box startups for a few years. In my experience, some power distribution/power line operators are VERY particular about what kind of hardware you are flying near or above their infra.

Great story, but this line gave me pause
The author is grossly mistaken here.

The idea that the AGPL is unenforceable is dangerous advice that could backfire on someone.

Let me offer a different viewpoint.

The AGPL is a non-free license which uses the same legal principles as shrink-wrap EULA licenses. If the AGPL is not enforceable, then the majority of (other) EULAs are also not enforceable. Quick, someone tell Microsoft, Adobe, Apple, ... do they and their legal departments and lawyers know?

The restrictions/requirements inherent in the AGPL are use restrictions. If you run the program such that people connect to it, you are not redistributing it and so copyright does not apply. That use of the software is governed by requirements.

No software with use restrictions can reasonably be called free.

The legal doctrine at play is exactly like that in shrink-wrapped EULAs (note the "U" there): you are allowed to have a copy of the program (which lands under copyright) if you conform to certain behaviors. In the case of a typical EULA: that you won't reverse engineer the program, or copy it, or crack the license to give yourself unlimited use, etc. In the case of the AGPL, that you won't use it in a way that people can access it, without giving them the code with all your mods.

If you don't comply with the rules, then the offer lapses: the program is not licensed to you. You are not properly engaged in the contract, and so the copyright holder does not give you permissions to have and use a copy of that program, or to use it in that way.

That's how I think it works. Software licenses which restrict use do not use only copyright. They are contracts which make the granting of the copy conditional on contracted behavior. Arbitrary conditions can be linked to the copyrighted work.

If some court does find the AGPL or any other EULA unenforceable, it will almost certainly be due to some much more subtle argument than "oh, it's a copyright license that's only concerned with redistribution distribution, so whatever it says about use can just be ignored".
I think it will be difficult to find supporting data that mandates all employees across every team are required to be in office 3 days a week. Given the related news about downtown areas where the offices are facing issues with lack of consumer foot traffic and increased issues with crime and social issues, it’s seems more likely at this time the decision is being made because of pressure from local governments.

Additionally managers have typically been empowered to evaluate the effectiveness of their teams and their performance, but now an external metric is being forced on them without much visibility into the metrics themselves (e.g. badge in counts for their reports, how WFH while sick but not taking a sick day affects the metric, or various other circumstances). In my experience and prior to the pandemic, whether you were in the office or not was up to whatever discussions you’ve had with your manager, and it some cases there were employees that were allowed to work from home (or other states) based on the needs for that team.

So to me this isn’t returning back to how things used to be, it’s setting a new mandate that drastically impacts an agreement and expectations between the organization that hired the employee and the employee themselves without any data supporting the decision or consideration for what a team actually needs.
I saw a We play a year back, and it was highly contemporary with its office-style glass walls, mixed-use spaces and complex rituals around dating.

Presently, although with maybe another couple decades at our current clip, we’ll all live to see a world where our great-grandkids will all be employed to Elon Musk’s preserved head in a jar—mining minerals on Mars in exchange for bunkbeds in the old mineshaft and a handshake promise you won’t dye of hunger. The pension plan is an opportunity to purchase “Vitality Coins” pre-tax that can be exchanged for MeatX[TM] rations at the company store until you ultimately perish from everything else killing you in the Martian environment.

I know this analogy was intended to help understanding, but I'm curious - are most people actually familiar with slide rules work?

Just for reference: I'm an engineer in my mid thirties, and I know what a slide rule is, and might even be able to correctly identify the object if it were placed in front of me, but I've never actually seen one (let alone used one), so the analogy you've made is meaningless to me. My girlfriend who's a few years younger than me and also works in tech is vaguely familiar with the concept of the device but had never heard of the term "slide rule". My father is also an engineer and only used one for one class when he was in high school.

We tried to leave (Coastal Los Angeles) and failed to find our blue heaven anywhere else. (Almost Cape Town... almost. May yet retire there) We ended up back in the bay area after trying non-Cali for 5 years.

For your questions? We don't want kids, we are firmly upper middle class. We bought a house without trouble or sacrifice. We are in an area not in PG&E territory so Utilities are fine. We are apolitical so skip a LOT of noise in news and social media. Homeless and crimes ARE everywhere, not just here? Our two cars are not troublesome to own. We are good at identifying and ignoring ideologues -- and we have not yet been discovered in our wrongthink and sent for livelihood-ruining re-education. (wtf are you even on about with this?)

We're lucky. Others struggle, I get it. Sucks. Our austere life choices and preferences favor it here quite strongly. Others, maybe not as much. That's cool. I'm not out rallying a cry against Wichita on some forum they frequent and trying to bend them to my own preferences. That's rude.

(meta) I’m getting tired of seeing paywalled content on HN.

I wonder if we could tag links as such and have an option to hide paywalled links. Or just outright ban them.
If I were to make a normal desktop app with a UI, I'd consider Qt before the rest of the toolkits (at least, until Iced finally catches up). Even on an OSX-only app, I'm sure as hell not using SwiftUI/UIKit/etc. Qt more consistently nails native apps, the so-called-native UI toolkit on any given OS doesn't.

You seem to think "codesign" is the trivial step: it is not. Many many times that entire step has made it to the top of the front page on HN, on how many dev teams simply cannot get this to work right consistently, and will break in ways that cannot be debugged using the tool output or the documentation.

Nobody has this level of problem on Windows: I just sign it using a valid cert, and its done. I don't need to buy a Microsoft-made computer or need to run Visual Studio or pay Microsoft $100 a year and then still have random reports of Windows users being unable to run my binary; however, HN has popularized countless stories of devs being forced to buy a Mac (which means no OSX in a VM, no OSX build farms, very spotty CI<->OSX integration), having to pay Apple $100 a year to notarize the signing (which they can also refuse to do, without recourse), having to use XCode (at least for the signing step), and they still have situations where the binary is not being signed and/or notarized, or OSX will randomly fail to run the binary, or it actively prevents users from running the binary without telling anyone why, but giving scary messages to non-tech users anyways.

I'm sorry, but how the hell is a trillion dollar company getting this wrong? Apple has broken priorities, and shilling/fanboying for them on here is not going to fix the problem.
