Nope, because I think D-K played a neat little trick. Whether it was intentional or not is another topic. They were using a largely homogenous group of people - Cornell undergrads taking psychology classes, and querying them on things where all performance would fall close to a similar mean.

Imagine you take 100 literal clones of somebody and query them on something, and then ask them to predict their performance. Assuming these clones are smart, they'd all estimate their performance as being at 50%, which is what would be expected. But due to natural variance, not everybody will score identically (in the same way even identical twins do not perform identically). And so you'd end up seeing some huge D-K effect with literal clones! Those at the bottom would be greatly overestimating their performance, while those at the top would be greatly underestimating it. Now step away from clones into the regular world of students, where everybody is going to think they're a bit better than average, and you get people predicting a score of about 60%. Now suddenly you see the same thing, except the lower performers would be overestimating their performance by a greater degree than the top performers were underestimating theirs.

To truly measure D-K, you'd need an extremely heterogenous group of people, and you'd also need questions with perceived and real domain expertise. Would a farmer with a 5th grade education evaluate his performance on a differential equations test as above average? Would a professor of diff eq evaluate his performance on a test of optimal growth strategies for buckwheat and corn, as above-average? Of course not, but then you can't make a shocking claim, don't get published, and don't become famous.

Interest(and by extension Credit) does cause momentary fluctuations in the economy. But saying they are the main factor in economy growth/degrowth is not right. Here's a good video (by Ray Dalio) that goes into detail.

You don't have to feed them pollen if they don't have brood, but they still try to keep themselves above the 50F storage temp so they need honey/syrup. If they were outside pollinating at spring temps (in a warm area), they wouldn't need any feeding at all.

It's a cost add in the warm climes so the only reason I can see to do it is for mite treatment.

I've always wanted to run a campaign that does the opposite: give them an obscene amount of wealth.

First problem would be how do they even transport, store, and guard it without being jumped, ripped off and robbed? Did they think millions of coins would fit in a few sacks?

Maybe a "No Country For Old Men" type situation? Sure they're rich as kings but there are more powerful beings that know about their wealth and they are coming.
China is the same size as the US but has four times the population, and most of them are in the east. This means they have much higher population density. Another important difference is that they can build rail for much cheaper than the US because their government doesn’t have to respect property rights or follow stringent environmental regulations.

Which law(s) do you think they are not on the legal side of?

The most common law people cite for deletion rights is GDPR but I'm not sure GDPR applies. GDPR's territorial scope is defined in Article 3.

For controllers or processors not "in the Union", which I think is the case for YC, GDPR applies if the processing activities are related to:

"(a) the offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union; or

(b) the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the Union."

People in the Union can make HN accounts and post, but that doesn't mean that YC is offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union. Recital 23 of GDPR elaborates on offering goods or services (edited to split into two paragraphs to make it easier to read):

> In order to determine whether such a controller or processor is offering goods or services to data subjects who are in the Union, it should be ascertained whether it is apparent that the controller or processor envisages offering services to data subjects in one or more Member States in the Union.

> Whereas the mere accessibility of the controller’s, processor’s or an intermediary’s website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, is insufficient to ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that the controller envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union.

I think YC could make a decent case that they do not envisage offering such services to people in the Union.

The problem isn't that there isn't a common-sense distinction between the extremes; it's attempting to define the crossover point (presumably for the purposes of a "bright line" rule in law/policy/norms). Defining how much interest should qualify as usury is a classic "paradox of the heap" [0]; which may be a reason by some faith traditions simply forbade lending at interest altogether.

An interesting alternative to consider, is money that intentionally depreciates value at a fixed rate ("demurrage" [1]). In theory, this would incentivize lending at zero interest (assuming relative price stability for real goods, which is easier said than done).

To add to this, not all students are working on problems at the same rate either. I’d be willing to bet a good portion of fast learners spend more time thinking about these things. By the time I took my first and only programming class in school I’d already been writing in basic and putting together batch scripts to manage launching games. Of course I picked up pascal much more quickly than my peers because I’d already spent a considerable amount of personal time tinkering in the space. Same with math. I probably spent a lot more time thinking about that than most of my peers. I’d zone out in unrelated classes trying to figure out ways to extrapolate or repurpose math tricks I’d learned because it was interesting to me. So I appeared to be a very fast learner. But was I? I still spent longer than most of my peers on those subjects.
If you're having trouble staying focused and having high energy, especially while working, you might want to consider if you have ADHD. Medication has completely changed the lives of many people that I know for the better.

To be clear: I'm not a doctor, I'm not saying you must have ADHD based on two sentences. I'm not saying that medication is your only option, or would even be appropriate for you. I'm suggesting simply that you take a look at one of the self-report scales like "Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale" (ASRS) and see if it fits your experiences, and if it does maybe talk to your healthcare professional about it.

> The New Deal was a pretty big deal- it did a lot to transition the US to a centralized enough state to accomplish what we generally regard as the duties of a modern state

Centralization is not necessary for governments to provide the services of a modern state. Sweden manages to provide all the functionality of a modern state, and has about the same population as North Carolina. Even then, the majority of Swedish government spending actually happens at the county and municipal level.

What the Constitution resists is turning the federal government into the level of government that’s responsible for providing all these services.
I really struggle to read "the de-facto windowing and display infrastructure solution" as "for our super narrow usecases" rather than a very general claim. Though yes, if that's the meaning then it's much easier to defend; if RH knows that none of their customers need an actual raw Xorg server without xwayland, then it's really easy for them to say that they can drop Xorg proper.

A slight amount of hanging looks like it's not hanging at all -- it just looks right. The same way the top and bottom of an 'O' are higher/lower than the top and bottom of an 'X', even though it doesn't look like it.

Fully hanging punctuation is just way overdoing it.

The N64 cartridge format was the biggest mistake Nintendo made with a mainline console. It was like building a formula one car with a gas tank the size of a thimble. The PS1 absolutely ate Nintendo’s lunch in that round of the console wars. Nintendo went from the undisputed champion of 3rd party libraries (with the SNES) to an also-ran.

Sure, Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time are classics. But what’s a must-have 3rd party N64 exclusive? I can’t even think of one.
Just because on most modern hardware file I/O has millisecond latency and feels synchronous doesn't mean it is synchronous. It might feel like overkill to use Observables instead of Promises and I/O event loops or even thread-blocking faux synchronous file system calls, but there is still an asynchronous world there where it can be nice to have the full power of Observables. To be fair, my love affair with Observables started in C# in "backend" applications, so that's always been the natural fit for me and frontend and UI work has been the "side hustle" of taking stuff that I love in the backend side of the house and putting it to even more use.

> Do Angular and React components talk to each other?

You can make them talk to each other. Depends on what exactly you need, how components and projects are structured etc.

> Lit and other Web component frameworks can share components. To refactor Lit components into other web component framework or raw web component is orders of magnitude easier than converting Angular <-> React.

You're putting a false equivalency between "talking to each other" and "refactoring one code base into another".

Preact, Svelte, Vue, and Angular can all be compiled to web components. How easy do you think it would be to convert app code between each of these frameworks? Convert that code to and from lit?
How Humans See Data [video]
What I had in mind, is a webapp that does backend api calls. That is a synchronous call, in the sense that often the user is waiting for it since it is often the result of an interaction with the website. I did not consider that a low latency requirement. Still, when a backend service (accessed either directly or indirectly) is not available or has problems, and there is a retry mechanism, this quickly runs into seconds.

> You don't add meaningless complexity for the sake of it after all.
> You can decide where complexity lives after all.

Good points and something I should think about when designing systems.

You have good and interesting points, and it is true that I am very wary about introducing extra latency in the context of an http api that is used by a webapp. With the infra that is available today, it is possible to build snappy webapps, but my feeling is that you have to be wary about introducing extra "hops" in the execution of one http call, even though that is not strictly a "low latency" requirement.

Nope, I'm talking about the agreement you consent to when you purchase access to media.

Mass market sales are not a public distribution, just a wide distribution. You must agree to the terms of the sale in order to access the media. You give your word you will not violate those terms, when you purchase it.

Morally speaking, either you believe someone can control their property, or you don't believe that. Sometimes that control involves letting many, but not all, people access that property. If you believe media moves out of someone's control without their consent merely through distribution, then you necessarily do not believe in ownership.

Which is fine, but there is no quasi-ownership concept. Either a person owns and thus controls something, or they do not. Besides, does private property become "public" just because millions of people go there? Does a rental car suddenly become public property once it's passed 100 renters? This concept cannot exist alongside ownership.

I really like the HN/Twitter/Indie Hacker posts about solo founders building a boring, simple product. It inspires me to look for an unsexy problem and come up with a simple solution. I've seen some other similar sites but wanted to make my own because I don't like annoying popups and I just want to see a list. There are no ads, no "feed algorithms", no tracking, and no AI. Just a simple list (not even paginated!). Take a look around and I'd be appreciative of your feedback!

It can be rather argued that antirez has chosen his language to fit into a small code. Indeed, such mini-languages are not uncommon in C: not only printf and scanf, but for example Python's PyArg_ParseTuple and friends [1]. It is also common that they are underdocumented, have unexpected pitfalls (for example, this selector library won't tell you that you have a typo in the typecheck string), have strange contortions to keep up with C's lack of features (for example, this library reserves * in the keys because C makes string concatenation difficult, so you are forbidden to use that character in verbatim), and tend to be difficult to change because everything is a bare string.

----

ADDED (just in case that the comment sounds like a mindless C bashing): I wanted to highlight the point that this particular design is not general, but stems from the language choice in many ways. Those weaknesses largely overlap with those of DSLs in general, so another way to phrase this is that C kinda fosters a creation of DSLs, which is an interesting observation! By comparison the language choice itself is out of concern for me---I wrote a number of sizable softwares in C after all.
To be fair compiled languages are just faster than interpreted (in most cases, and as others have pointed out especially with strings)
There's also the question of what to learn. I don't know if this has really been proven but it seems to me that some people who seem to learn quickly are those that have mastered the art of learning the minimum needed to accomplish their goal. And then there's those that go deep and venture into every nook and cranny of the subject and gather immensely more knowledge than what is needed for the task at hand.
Programming is probably an extreme case, since some people begin it as a hobby in middle school or high school and others go into introductory CS classes having done no programming at all, but it's not hard to imagine similar factors happening in other subjects. For example, I did well in high school English courses, which I and my peers obviously had years of classes in already—but I also did extra curricular reading and writing, mostly because it was something I enjoyed.

Now, would I say natural aptitude is negligible or non-existent, as the headline does? No, I don't think a single study is that definitive (and it did find a difference, just a small one).
