One thing that I have observed is that for a leftist, human nature is truly a puzzling affair. After all for him, all is relative. All aspects of human society, culture, morals are but a cage some other powerful humans have erected over us. It's like living in the Matrix, all these silly sheeple blindly following what THEY pretend is normal and they don't even question it!

No! Impossible! These fellow humanoids are brainwashed! They are not acting in their best interest, but according to the rules of the framework that benefits their masters!
You don't need to tie your job to your sense of self worth and happiness.
My understanding is that RICO is intended to allow them to go after the guy behind the crew, rather than crew members, whereas Joint Enterprise is intended to allow them to convict the whole crew when a crime can't be pinned on specific individual members (e.g. because they wore masks; or they all stay silent and won't rat on who actually did it)

RICO means you can prosecute the godfather when his enforcers beat up store owners that owed him money, Joint Enterprise means you can convict all three armed bank robbers of murder even though you can't prove which of them shot the bank manager in the head when she was too slow opening the safe.
Well intentioned list, and generally peppered with survivor (or failure) bias when trying to consume these bullet points without the context of the contributor.

The best across-the-board advice that I've heard from others:

- Own it. Be the best operator for everything in your business.
- Scale last. Very few companies have failed because they couldn't scale the business (but did everything else right).
- Keep at it. Blood, sweat and tears.

Even at that, the mentors who I've had in the past said take these things with a grain of salt.

“I don’t want my kids to go to school with people of a different race” makes you an asshole.

The issue here is the same across all 'science' which is unable to effectively control causes, and which studies non-linear phenomena (or, more simply, cases where the distribution of means isnt defined, or is far away from normal).

The issue is: you can't do stats. The reality is it is highly likely that all data here is consistent with any effect size you care to choose.

What this study does, nevertheless, is quantify the 'model risk' ie., the "p-value of the method itself" -- how often does research provide reliable effect sizes? Rarely. So the research methods themselves have a huge 'epistemic discounting' associated with them.

But we can go much further than this -- recurse: what is the risk of using this methodology to assess methodology? Actually, it's fairly high. This isn't a very reliable method for judging research methods. And so on.

What we find here is that in the vast majority of cases, where we'd care to research anything, recursing risks lead to an essential insurmountable error: measurement error, model error, methodology error, research-assumptions-error, etc. There isnt enough data to resolve between competing possibilities at the outer-most stage of error (often you'd need much more data than practically possible to collect).

What do we do with this? I'd say, mostly, throw away stats here. Do case analyses, risk-based recommendations, even broadly philosophical analysis.

The alterantive is just staring at tea-leaves.

Title "People cough more during classical concerts" implies that people are more likely to cough during classical concerts than non-classical concerts. Article implies that people cough more in classical concerts than at home.

There are numerous biological, physical and neurological factors that can affect cough rate, and implication "it's voluntary" seems to be rather ridi... far-fetched.

I'd consider buying one of their systems if they handled tax + duty for international shipping - insanity can ensure in the UK for packages that arrive without it all arranged.

"grit and discipline" and an idea. You have to come up with something worth building based on if enough people will pay you for what you build. That's the hard part. Every programmer has "grit and discipline" in spades.

In my area there are two options to recycle tech: drive across town and hope the location is actually open or wait for one of the two times there’s a large drop off event in the area that takes over an hour of waiting in line. Hoping my next city has it figured out better, but it’s the US so my hopes are not high.
You probably need to be in the line of sight of the interfering device, so it has much less coverage on the ground level.
> Umm, scrollbars nowadays are just to indicate something is scrollable.

Which makes the often-default behaviour to autohide them all the more ridiculous!

Agreed; scrolling is one of the things that touch input just beats everything else at hands down.

I've built and alpha released a booking management system for a local business that delivers construction materials.

The setup involves the operators that record bookings via phone calls into the booking system. Then they have the drivers perform deliveries for those bookings, which they track through the mobile apps that are powered by the booking system. I also built a quote calculator, which is an extension of the booking system. Here is the tech stack I’ve setup for productivity and fast iteration.

Booking system:

- MySQL

- Laravel

- Tailwind

- React & InertiaJS

Quote calculator:

- Laravel Powered API (queries the booking system)

- Tailwind

- React

Mobile apps:

- Laravel Powered API

- Flutter (iOS and Android)

- Laravel Sanctum for API Auth

Infrastructure:

- Twilio for SMS notifications

- GitHub for source code hosting

- Mailgun for transactional emails

- CloudFlare for DDoS protection and caching

- Firebase Cloud Messaging for push notifications

- Laravel Forge for server maintenance and deployments

I later hired a young and very talented developer that is now helping me maintain and further build the booking system while I shifted my primary focus to the apps.

Professionally, I am a frontend developer but have also developed full stack (Laravel based) systems for smaller client projects.

I wish I could share screenshots and the links but sadly for anonimity reasons I cannot.

I won't argue against Windows 2000's usability. But I will say that to me, as someone who first started using computers in the XP era, any Windows earlier than Windows 7 looks so god damn ugly to me, and Windows 2000 even more so than XP.

Interestingly though, I don't have the same impression when looking at the old Apple OSes. To me, Mac OS 9 looks old, but not ugly.
The way Apple handles this sucks. It is not clear how you can transfer purchases, or if that is even possible. It would be nice if there was an easy way to merge obsolete/outdated accounts in to a valid one.

I'm trying to write a static analyzer for PHP. It's written in RUST and it's a personal project of mine to learn rust and also make a FAST static analyzer for PHP projects that are big. I started with this project because the current static analyzers in the PHP ecosystem are slow.

It would be nice if there were people that would like to contribute. If you want to learn rust and you have PHP experience you are welcome to help.

The project is it early stages. Right know the focus is on writing the checks that are needed. The current checks that are implemented are:

- Detect when the cyclomatic complexity of a method is too high. The current threshold is 10.

- Extending undefined classes.

- Having a try/catch with an empty catch that doesn't do anything.

- A method that has more than five parameters.

- Methods without modifiers(private, public & protected).

- Classes that start with a lowercase.

- Check if a method exists when called inside another method.

- Methods that return a value without defining a return type.

- Constants that have all letters in lowercase.

- Parameters without any type.

- Correct location for the PHP opening tag.
Although I agree with the thought, not all apps are CRUD as there are many apps that are -R-- only.
What you can do with a hacked PS5
It is more nuanced. It differs a bit per country [1] as it is a directive. For example, in The Netherlands after one year if you did not buy additional warranty in the second year you need to prove you used the product normally.

Also, something like a washing machine has more than 2 years warranty because you can expect such device to work longer than 2 years.

Also, you have the right for updates to keep the device working (if you bought it after April 27th 2022) [2].

The government has very good official documentation available on your rights but it is complex [3].

> NEVER start with the software

As a long-time (old) engineer, historically my mindset was to rush into problem-solving mode by thinking about software-based solutions to everything. After learning from a failure or two, I recognize how that might work for me but doesn't necessarily contribute to solving a problem for a customer.

I understand how to solve problems with software, but my key to successes has been to really understand and define the problem to be solved. This generally takes so much more effort than surface-level assessments.

> Maintaining a bike is cheaper and easier than maintaining a car

also debatable

I changed the brake pads of my car two years ago, for 50 euros.

They are still perfectly functional (according to my mechanic opinion).

Admittedly I drive ~200kms a month, but nonetheless maintenance, at least for me, is really cheap.
I used to use Teams, and it had this feature where if you clicked on the app icon (macOs) enough times a debug menu appeared. It was clearly aimed for internal testing. But there was no timer attached to it, so if, over the course of your day, you clicked on it in the dock, eventually the menu appeared. It seemed pretty half baked to have a debug menu available to your users in the wild.
There’s a lot of different ways to build a business.

YC promotes one path of doing so (the VC funded path). If your incentives as a founder aligns with YC’s values and interests, then it can be a great value add.

But for every company that’s a fit for YC, there are a lot of companies that absolutely aren’t a good fit (e.g. if you’re planning on bootstrapping, you should steer clear of YC).

There’s no 1 right way to get a business off the ground.

Show HN: Open-source product documentation platform
Vrite is meant to be an open-source, collaborative developer content platform for everything from technical blogs and product documentation to internal knowledge bases.

The idea is to provide a great "hybrid" editing experience (combining code and WYSIWYG approach) to create an editing environment that's extensible and can be used for various technical needs, by people of varying technical proficiency.

Since the last time I posted this project here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36324281) I followed on the recieved feedback, adding:

- GitHub synchronization (for existing projects using docs-as-code approach);

- Self-hosting support via Docker Compose;

- Command palette with semantic search (also accessible via API);

- Variants (for i18n support);

- New "Element" block in the editor, allowing for custom markup (via XML-like syntax) that's then transformed to structured JSON;

- Other features, like more customization, better commenting support and new dashboard view (list)

Check it out and let me know what you think.

For basic look, use the following credentials:

We are not arguing against the laws of physics

We are arguing about the burden. Right now, the burden of preventing accidents is placed on pedestrians and kids. Everyone on foot needs to look carefully, and only step on the road when it is safe

We could revert this burden. The cars need to drive in a way that, if a kid appears at a distance of X meters, they can fully stop without touching the kid. This would mean slower speeds and perhaps better breaks.

Instead of parents afraid for their kids, we could get drivers afraid of jail, losing cars, heavy fines.

There is no question that, when a car is allowed at absurd speeds (like 20 miles per hour -- see the graph in https://www.propublica.org/article/unsafe-at-many-speeds) then the motorist has no time to react and incurs a risk of killing people. If we manage to restrict the speed to 20 mph everywhere a pedestrian might be reasonably expected, then the driver can (physically) react.

What you are saying is basically: I want to drive in a monstrous speed so that it is impossible for me to prevent accidents, so you should prevent accidents. The problem is not the fact that the speed precludes your ability not to murder children (we agree it does!) but that you insist to be allowed to drive at those speeds anyway.

Also, note that this speed we are asking for is typical for many people in rush hour (see: https://www.tomtom.com/traffic-index/los-angeles-traffic/)

20 mins for 10 km means 30 km/h, or around 18 miles/hour.

So people drive most of the time at safe speeds (to commute) but still don't want to drive at safe speeds to avoid murdering children
So much to unpack, so I will not just not bother apart from one point that I keep to be discussing with many people who are stuck in a buzzword mode: "I run a community for small-time entrepreneurs who are satisfied with reliably attainable mediocre success".

The bakery around the corner from my house has been around for the past 20 years. It makes a bucketloads of money every day. The guy who runs it is in complaint-mode 24/7. BUT he still runs the place, he still NOT innovates, he still sells good, tasty, average, boring bread.

Perhaps Daniel wants that. Good for him. The same for the "community for small-time entrepreneurs". Good for them. But if someone has the next Dropbox-potential idea, you better hand out with this crew here, than that crew there. Because that crew there will settle for mediocre, while this crew here will aim higher.
I don't think this person understands what/why pivot happens.

I also want entrepreneurs to build smaller, self funded businesses but bagging on the VC isn't the way to demonstrate that.

Both paths (and others) can exist at the same time.

The customer, the entrepreneur and (if you want them) investors need to be aligned. Some want huge, some want less huge.

Neither path guarantee success. Starting a business is more like a guaranteed failure (95% or something)

The reality is that the probability of buying multiple office chair legs is higher than people expect. For some reason people can't comprehend a person ever needing to buy multiple of something if they only needed one. I worked at Amazon and this was a recurring theme. People do buy multiple of all kinds of things things and based on your previous purchases it might be reasonable to recommend another similar item. However, when it's wrong, people notice.
It's a bit of a fantasy to believe Apple cares about second-hand purchases of Apple devices.
