To be fair, none of those ideas seem like venture scale ideas to me. Maybe I'm missing something?

If you are talking to just one investor, you are doing it wrong. It's a parallel process, not serial. Kissing a lot of frogs serially looking for Prince Charming will slowly kill your morale, waste your time and investors quickly learn that others have passed on your deal.

Think of it more like drafting a football team. You want all the potential investors on the field at the same time. That's how deals close in weeks, not months.

If your investment round is taking so many months, something is wrong. This is why YC and Techstars do a demo day. Parallel pitches to a large audience of investors is the technique to close a round quickly.
Ah so DIY, I wasn't clear but that was what I meant by "small scale". I'll check out this stuff, thanks.
What you are describing is radicalization. People who are doing fine don't get easily radicalized. Why are they being radicalized then? Because they are not doing fine. Why are they not doing fine? Because of the colonial legacy and France supporting the status quo by propping up corrupt oligarchs/dictators in many parts of Francophone Africa.

By instantly jumping to Russia/Wagner you are merely assisting radicalization by further antagonizing Africans. The USA tried to pin everything that went wrong since 2016 on Russia, did it fix anything? Look at any poll for 2024 and you shall have your answer.

Fun fact - Some humans can see UV light. People that have had their lenses removed, normally due to having cateracts surgically removed. I know this because i had my lenses removed at 3 months old and have worn contact lenses my enitre life. The first time i became aware i could see UV light was in a bowling alley with black lights, where one of my contact lenses had uv filtering and the other did not. A very disorienting experience. This is my very low-key superpower.
We could but it’s a short sighted perspective. It’s like telling someone working on the steam engine to stop spending money because we could buy so many horses instead.

Why subsidize agrifuels instead e-fuels?!

In one case you expand agriculture which is the main cause of biodiversity loss and in the other you subsidize (zero carbon) technologies to help them start.

The agriculture lobby must be happy.
>That isn’t efficient in cases where the caller cannot know the size to allocate up front

This can typically be avoided though. With your sprintf example you could have one function that does the first half that calculates the size and then a second function that does the second half that actually copies into the destination buffer. Alternatively if you want to use realloc you could have a function like snprintf which allows resuming from where it ran out of space.
Only toxicity possible is roping which definitely gets annoying. WOTC should crack down on serial ropers. They certainly have the stats to be able to do this.
I've never seen a donor advised fund or private foundation on a startup cap table, and I've seen quite a few. Got any examples?
Just yesterday I read an article about how the rebels in Myanmar were using consumer drones and quadcopters very effectively to take control of military outposts from the junta there with minimal casualties on either side. The defenders were locked down taking shelter for over four days while the rebels flew drones in to recon the area and drop explosives until there were just two buildings and a temple left, at which point the defenders surrendered.

The article speculates that the rebels were supplied with the drones through foreign military powers. I’ll see if I can find it.

Mickey, Disney, and the public domain: A 95-year love triangle
I feel like the overall description from 2003 better explains the concept than the current article:

> According to an ancient Greek legend, Theseus had a warship that was preserved as a historical relic by the Athenians. Some of its boards rotted and had to be replaced. After many, many years, many such replacements occurred. Eventually, none of the original boards were present. Philosophers could then debate whether it was the same ship that Theseus had used, and if not, when it had ceased to be so.

versus the current version:

> The Ship of Theseus is a thought experiment about whether an object which has had all of its original components replaced remains the same object. In Greek mythology, Theseus, the mythical Greek founder-king of Athens, rescued the children of Athens from King Minos after slaying the minotaur and then escaped onto a ship going to Delos. Each year, the Athenians commemorated this by taking the ship on a pilgrimage to Delos to honor Apollo. A question was raised by ancient philosophers: After several centuries of maintenance, if each individual part of the Ship of Theseus was replaced, one at a time, was it still the same ship?
It was a younger simpler time, with more dreams and less dollars involved. I don’t think it should have evolved from what I did in retrospect. Search + URLs is entirely sufficient and I don’t think anything else would have ever emerged even without Microsoft.
I've been saying this for 5 years straight. I explained in great detail what was wrong and how to fix it but was suppressed on social media. Now that it has become obvious that I was right all along, I'm still suppressed and those who created the problem and suppressed me have the largest following they've ever had as they lead us all deeper and deeper into the catastrophe.
You'd be surprised. Though I think you've misunderstood the parent's comment. THe parent doesn't literally mean that they think of Quebec as a colony.

He means that they look down upon Quebec people, as if they are "ploucs" [from some backwater colony], without their French "sophistication" and accent.
> That may be so, but the article doesn't say anything about "facts" or "substance" of the content. It says "People need to stop coming into our community and exploiting us and profiting off what we are going through", "quit exploiting these poor people", "It’s become very exploitative there", "It’s detrimental because it isn’t helping".

We were discussing the NYT and an article you chose. Not the Guardian article.

The Guardian article was less informative. It described the content of the TikTok videos in between the portions you quoted however.

> The article and many comments here express the sentiment that the problem is making money off these people without directly helping them.

This was 1 of several complaints in the Guardian article. And I saw 0 comments say this. 1 comment said all advertising supported journalism is horrific. 1 comment said earning money off others without consent is vile.
Thank you, very helpful! As to why they didn't use something like a "Reindeer can see UV light" title, my understanding is that was already known, and this study provided evidence that the selective advantage of this trait is that it allows them to see their food source (lichens) better.
Every ideology does, but it's question of how and how much.

Popular support for fascism is almost exclusively predicated on strong emotions felt about vague/changing subjects. Fascist speakers excelled at driving their audience into a frenzy.

Democracy is not consistently about this, and there's also rational debate about it. Rational debate wasn't the focus of fascism, and in fact it was actively shunned -- fascism was about sacrifice, blood and belief, not reason.

Someone else linked to the reflections on the language of the Third Reich, and how it was meant to drive emotions and irrational thinking.

Fascism cannot coexist with reason. Other forms of evil might, but not this one.
No timelike or null path out of it, yes. (That is, no path through spacetime that an ordinary object or a light ray can follow.)

I know several successful founders who had to pitch over 100 firms on their financing round. I would say the usual number is probably 30 to 50, but 100 isn't out of the ordinary, especially if you are doing something unusual or new.
Stupid question probably: does sunlight on days where there are high UV radiation warnings (announced so people know to not stay in the sun too long and avoid sunburns) look any different to you?

Do you know what part of the UV spectrum you can see?

Edit: hmm, and the article's abstract says that reindeer' eye fluid is 60% transparent to UV (I assume that means "60% at the average thickness/depth of a reindeer eye from lens to retina"). That sounds like other animals' generally does not. Does humans'? I guess it must if you're seeing it, or you have special eye fluid!
I’m not saying it wasn’t there – Scopes, for example – but pumping many billions of dollars into it really amped it up, especially when it turned opposition to science into a Republican primary filter. While the southern realignment was unfolding, science denial was visible in both parties (e.g. William Proxmire, D-WI) but that was not as pronounced in the age of the space race and the science-dependent Cold War. That changed between the tobacco and fossil fuel companies’ enormous lobbying efforts, and you’ll recognize many of the same “experts” trotted out to explain why environmentalism, public health, or anything else which affects those companies’ bottom lines.
Ruminant: an herbivorous, even-toed, hoofed mammal (suborder Ruminantia and Tylopoda) that has a complex 3- or 4-chambered stomach. The word "ruminant" comes from the Latin ruminare, which means "to chew over again". Related to the English word ruminate, "think deeply about something"

This is super weird to me. In the tech circles I've run in, being from Harvard is about the same as being from UCLA or something.

I've never heard it considered a sign of exclusivity. CMU, Stanford, MIT, yes. But Harvard? It's not exactly known for a rigorous engineering program, and even less so the last fifteen years or so.
As someone without an econ degree, but with a finance degree, I have a hard time believing these metrics are a meaningful representation of economic reality. The more I look at inflation measures, the more they seem massaged. Even 'non-establishment' pundits like Kyla Scanlon insist the economy is like-really-good-for-sure-guys.

But I saw my parents' and their peers' lifestyles at my age +/- 10 years and things were dramatically different. Cars, houses and vacations possible on a single non-doctor/lawyer/etc. income. And they weren't outliers! Sure, we have sci-fi toys, but life milestones are unachievable for so many, even on full-time dual incomes.

It seems like mainstream economics is a kool-aid party.

The FOMC was a mistake.
Exactly. If these tick-tockers became drug addicts instead they would be celebrated by the people who raise "alarm" filming American cities.

> White people get an automatic advantage because they're white.

By whom? By other white people? Homophily is a real phenomenon in every ethnicity.

But if you're saying that white people get advantages by non-white people, then it's a cultural issue of those non-white people who, for some reason, have internalized racism (look up inferiority syndrome).

That sounds like there is still a better title possible a la "Reindeer's UV sensitivity allows them to see lichens better", rather than just making some pun that reduces the information to "something about reindeer in Scotland"
Which part of the US Constitution does cancelling Argentine debts fall afoul of?

Cancelling US debt without consent of the lenders would likely be unconstitutional, but the article seemed to be discussing IMF loans, and I don't think the US has taken any of those.
This is a problem with the Ship of Theseus thought experiment as well. When did the Ship of Theseus become a "ship"? With that being nebulous it becomes even stranger to discuss whether switching out parts compromises its personal identity.
The hint in OP's last line, when you are passing around function pointers to allocators, you just need only one standard function interface.

allocate(void\* ptr, size_t size);

ptr == NULL : alloc()
size == 0 : free()
both ptr and size sent : realloc()

That way it's simpler on the API stage. I prefer to keep it like that in my code.

It's Sunday night and I dont want to write a HN reply that has some ulterior business motive. I wanna share how I make eggs and maybe read a reply that gets me to improve.

1) Get some flakey oven biscuits-from-a-tube or thick sliced baguette and have them toasted, buttery, and ready on a plate for just before your eggs wrap up. After making it three times it becomes about obvious how to time these.

2) Get one of those infrared temperature thermometers you can aim down into your pots and pans. I get a pot just smaller than a pyrex bowl and boil water just beneath the bowl, a double boiler. Wait for the water to boil.

3) Toss some eggs (6 eggs is a nice breakfast for two with the biscuits) into the bowl. With a spatula, keep stirring the eggs while you monitor the temperature. Try to keep the temperature near the bottom of the glass around 70C, 160F or so. But keep the eggs constantly stirring. Literally dont put the spatula down once the eggs are in.

4) It can take like 10 minutes, but the eggs will start to thicken; if you're stirring them enough, they will be a homogenous, pleasant orange color. As they start to move beyond paint consistency, they will start to rapidly approach their end of cooking. When they just start to really thicken up, take the bowl out of the pot using a mitten. Bring the bowl to the plates with the biscuits, and put them on the plate.

There is no cheese, no butter required for the eggs. Some salt is nice. I've gotten a lot of compliments for these eggs; this recipe is one of the most common egg recipes out there and I dont know the name for it. My wife calls them 'Frenchy Eggs', I believe because of a technique origin I don't know. A rasher of bacon or ham is a lovely complement but it will not be the star compared to the eggs themselves.

You can spend the rest of the day washing that bowl with a scouring pad.

>No effects were found of testosterone administration for strongly affiliated Democrats or strong or weak Republicans. Our findings provide evidence that neuroactive hormones affect political preferences.<

Your summary demonstrates exactly the opposite effect. If testosterone does not effect strongly affiliated Democrats or strong or weakly affiliated Republicans just weakly affiliated Democrats, your results indicate that there is some non-political aspect of weakly affiliated Democrats that makes them vulnerable. Otherwise all subjects would have shown some effect.
When I was a little kid my school took me on a trip to paris. I got lost and tried to ask for directions. The locals literally ignored me as I was begging for help. Until I finally remembered my parents talking about how the french hate anyone who doesn't speak their language and I started my plea with "I'm sorry I don't speak your beautiful language"

So yeah, they'd rather ignore a lost child than tolerate foreigners not knowing their "beautiful" language.
I rather admire Scott Alexander--but this strikes me as a very weak argument that boils down to "if you are willing to distort anything enough, it appears to be a religion".

Rationalism does not require that kind of distortion. The parallels are strikingly obvious; I don't have to torture Yudkowsky into a prophet, or the Sequences into scripture. Yud literally predicts the future and tells you to give him money to make it better. When rationalists write litanies and gather for solstice celebrations about how great rationality is, I'm not sure comparing them to a religion requires quite that stretch.

Or, to take a more conciliatory tone: Maybe he's right! But either way there's probably a spectrum, and rationalism is way closer to being a religion than, e.g. fans of the New England Patriots--who can only have a minor apocalypse on an annual basis, and lack scripture entirely--and further away from it than Scientologists.

While I agree with you, my hypothetical scenario above was deliberately constructed to avoid ascribing worth to distinct people, and only measuring how much of the outcome was the result of their negligent or deliberate behavior. We can come to the same conclusions while still assuming all lives have equal worth. All we have to do is determine where the fault lies. If a person jumps out in front of my car because they want to die, that's not my fault. If I run a stop sign and t bone a person it is. The same if I'm a computer in the trunk of a Tesla, and we want to be sure that if we are going to construct an environment where machines call the shots that they're less dangerous, so we should be sure that at the very least they're causing less accidents than people, not simply that they're participating in less accidents. Just the number of deaths doesn't give us this measure, it doesn't actually tell us how safe the machine is. What we ultimately want is primarily that the machine is less often at fault than a human driver, secondarily but very importantly that the machine avoids harming others even when those others are negligent and at fault, and also can avoid harming people in situations deliberately caused by others, particularly if those harmed weren't those causing the situation.
Fellow aphakic here, can confirm. I never knew what people were talking about when they said blacklights, they just look like a real bright intense pinkish/purple light.
