Rock-solid businessmen understand business and how it works. Nothing personal, only business.

Entrepreneurs are strongly driven by ego, their identity is personally tied to the thing they’re doing. There is immense pressure to succeed, not just for the money, but for their personal validation. It’s not enough to succeed, people must see you succeed.

Otherwise, they’d just open some boring small business no one cares about instead of a hot new startup.
Only total morons pay to let a company sell their genes. Happy downvoting, I know this will offend a bunch of people in this crowd.

In a sane world this thing should have never work in the first place but given the world is full of morons who are dumb enough to actually pay for shit like that its quite an accomplishment to run a company like that into the ground.

I read articles of people sending in banana DNA 23AndMe or a similar service and they got a supposedly ancestry tracking back. These services are dubious at best and you literally sign your DNA away to be sold to the highest bidder in their terms. I would not do this FOR FREE, let alone pay a ridiculous $130 for it.
We managed to do it with health care (well OK we are still in the rolling out period), but it's slowly happening.

20 years ago it was pretty plausible. Most of the genetic effects that we knew about were large. Maybe all of them were large?

Now we know that most effects are small, and there aren’t useful interventions that can treat the effects.
And I on the other hand don't think making the world's largest open air adult foster care system is going to end well.
Fraud detection: the banks know how specific schemes work and have some checks for that, like when customers send many transactions at ones or checks for the amounts themself, since some numbers are more rare than others. What exactly is checked is is secret and changes all the time. The mandatory 2fa also helps the security.

So we should let foreign owned and operated vessels run up and down the Mississippi because we would have to pay domestic workers more?

Then we would get to hear how all of our goods are being delivered by slave labor and experience the same joy of having derelicts that end up being abandoned by their owners. Perhaps with the crew still on them like MV Aman.

You talk about how the Midwest is being hollowed out because the costs are high while proposing to hollow out the shipping sector by allowing fly by night operators in.

How about instead we change the law so that every vessel that docks in the US meets our safety and labor laws. Then we would see the true cost of all this shipping accurately reflected.
(And for completeness, while there are octonions, the full generalization of "functions that scale and rotate arbitrary space" is matrices, which again people tend to be familiar with.)
Except that .local in 2024 is already in use for mDNS. Moreover, there is no such thing as a "normal" TLD. These are some existing public top level domains:

.company
.industries
.network

The reason .lan (or, for that matter, .local) isn't really that great is there will be large corporations wanting an internal use domain that spans multiple sites, which is neither local nor Local Area Network.

But since it's likely to see widespread use, it does make sense for it to be short and so easy to type, which .internal is not.

A decent one would be .pri, since a lot of companies already use it and "private" is what we're going for here.
Counter Strike: Global Offensive used a similar concept for its round-start buy menu because of needing to support console controllers. You can see an example here:

Interestingly, CS2 does not use the same menu, probably because they've moved away from trying to support consoles as a target.

This shows quite well that AI has zero common sense whatsoever, the results of most combinations I made are just nonsense. The associations are really vague and to me it is not interesting at all to look at random pictures and words appearing out of totally unrelated stuff. I really like man-made alchemy games though where all combinations are pre-defined and actually feel right.

I have no idea if missionlocal is partisan, but this article is obviously partisan -- it brings in a bunch of irrelevant factors (e.g. the value of Garry's liquor collection) into a story that boils down to "someone said a thing on Twitter that was bad and offensive, while drunk, and someone else took an obviously unhinged action in result".

It's the easiest thing in the world to report this in a neutral, factual way. You don't need to focus on Gary's money, his association to tech, his liquor cabinet, or anything else. That the reporter(s) could not do this speaks volumes about their motivations.

Aside from that, I have no dog in this particular fight. I haven't lived in SF in years, and if you're insinuating that I'm on a particular side of the political spectrum, you're way over your skis. Partisan doesn't have to mean "left" or "right", by the way...you can just be partisan against tech.

Hey, I am the developer of Kando. Currently, it is primarily designed for touch and mouse input. Adding gamepad support in the future would be pretty cool though! I have seen people using Kando on the Steam Deck, so this is definitely an interesting direction.
This is not correct.

RFC6598 defines CGNAT IP space as 100.64.0.0/10 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6598). RFC1918 (private IP space) is a different allocation.

They are taking sides. That is easily seen during an interview with the CEO, who almost cried talking about the events of October 7th. Intel will give 5000$ war grant to the Israeli employees. One of Intel's largest fabs is a 20-minute drive from where the massacres occurred.
I think that any service filling that role is likely to get hit with a terminal case of enshittification. There’s been a few services in a similar niche (glassdoor is a standout example) that eventually changed to the “as long as you’re paying us for an expensive corporate account, we’ll remove negative reviews if you complain about them” business model. The incentives are arranged to make it pretty much the only viable way to make money.

Linear light is when you do the math right to represent how light interacts with the environment in terms of transmission, reflection, etc.

Most GFX tools use some kind of color space with a curve such as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB

This is a practical answer to the problems of 8-bit technology where you would have terrible posterization in some values and also wasted bits in other values if you used linear light. sRGB is reflective of how the human eye works but not the physics of light. If you want to, say, average or subtract two images or rescale an image you should do it in linear light.

The right thing to do is to do transformations with linear light with at least 16 bit depth but output whatever color space the display expects. Most people (like the creators of Photoshop) do calculations that would be correct in linear light in sRGB and are oblivious to the results being wrong. It drives me nuts because my photog friends think I am nuts to write my own (correct) Python code with Pillow meantime they process everything with tools like

http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/

which makes everything look dark because the developers just didn’t think about color spaces.

How do you find the good tools? I don’t much want to play with this stuff myself, but might change my mind if I read some good reviews somewhere.

Similarly, there are probably a zillion Unix command-line utilities that I could install, but I won’t unless I somehow hear that they’re useful for something I care about. A command line tool needs its own documentation, but also, other people need to vouch for it.

Thank you for the feedback! I'll get to work on an About page.

What we are doing is automating bespoke account qualification and research. Say, for example, you are a company that sells software to chemical synthesis labs. Your ideal customer synthesizes more than 5 chemicals. They need to synthesize them in large batches and they need to have more than 10 chemists on staff.

To go out and find those ideal customers, right now, you would need to spend hours upon hours searching and manually qualifying each account. We are going to automate that. By providing more accurate leads we will reduce the amount of time that companies need to spend on prospecting while also increasing the open rate.

Here's what LLMs are good for:

* Taking care of boilerplate work for people who know what they are doing (somewhat unreliably)

* Brainstorming ideas for people who know what they are doing

* Making people who don't quite know what they're doing look like they know what they're doing a little better (somewhat unreliably)

LLMs are like having an army of very knowledgable but somewhat senseless interns to do your bidding.

> It was in _wide_ use before mDNS and even vanity TLDs existed.

Yes, as noted in the RFC that reserved its use for mDNS:

The special treatment of names ending in ".local." has been
implemented in Macintosh computers since the days of Mac OS 9, and
continues today in Mac OS X and iOS. There are also implementations
for Microsoft Windows [B4W], Linux, and other platforms.

Some network operators setting up private internal networks
("intranets") have used unregistered top-level domains, and some may
have used the ".local" top-level domain. Using ".local" as a private
top-level domain conflicts with Multicast DNS and may cause problems
for users. Clients can be configured to send both Multicast and
Unicast DNS queries in parallel for these names, and this does allow
names to be looked up both ways, but this results in additional
network traffic and additional delays in name resolution, as well as
potentially creating user confusion when it is not clear whether any
given result was received via link-local multicast from a peer on the
same link, or from the configured unicast name server. Because of
this, we recommend against using ".local" as a private Unicast DNS
top-level domain. We do not recommend use of unregistered top-level
domains at all, but should network operators decide to do this, the
following top-level domains have been used on private internal
networks without the problems caused by trying to reuse ".local." for
this purpose:

.intranet.
.internal.
.private.
.corp.
.home.
.lan.

* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6762#appendix-G

Key words: We do not recommend use of unregistered top-level domains at all….

The drafts for the RFC date back to 2001.
I haven't checked in many months, but in the past it never has. It kind of semi-works but it's pretty buggy. I use Chrome for teams.

I'm on Arch Linux.
Please take all of this with a grain of salt! It's quite possible that the limiting factor here is already spectral efficiency and not power; I don't know the link budgets involved and am mainly basing this on the very low observed data rates of systems I'm familiar with.

I don't have the exact S/N numbers for these systems, and there might well be some potential gain that's not being exploited for reasons of spectral efficiency (after all, these systems want to serve multiple phones at least somewhat efficiently).

The spectrum is limited in any case, both by receiver capabilities and the fact that it's a very scarce resource in useful frequency ranges.
For windows I used to use a tool called regshot for this. Main use case is Windows Registry diffing (hence the name) but also supports filesystem diffing.

In their example (Seattle) this is already the case. I've seen this software in action, the rent price for each unit is available online but fluctuates day to day according to market demand, and is automatically higher when a unit is available e.g. 3 weeks out instead of immediately.

You can look at Kiara, Onni SLU for examples of how this works, just go to floorplans and all the prices are in the open
You say that you use computers to do things, then mention not the things that you do but rather the tools that you prefer. That's fine, I also use the tools that I am familiar with. But you should know that other tools exist that do these same things.
> In most cases there is no cost at all of the untalented

What?

If you earn $1000 and then you go buy a TV for $990, is it true that the TV had "no cost at all," since you now have $10?

If you get a free TV, but you have to drive 8 hours one way to pick it up then 8 hours back the other way, is it true that the TV had "no cost at all?"
To a degree, yes, but the healthcare industry is also obfuscating the data as best as it can. Such as using proprietary codes instead of procedure names. Yes, the data is there, but unless you work at that specific hospital and understand their codes, it's essentially useless.

It could happen, but with how effective NIMBYs are on a local government level, and how strong of a hold NAR has in federal lobbying, I can see any legitimate legislation dying before they even come to a vote.
"Show HN" implies that it has been built and that there's something for people to try out, or at least look at—so I've taken "Show HN" out of the title now. See https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html.

Not a criticism—it's a fine post otherwise! And of course you can make a Show HN out of it when things get to that stage.

German nationals can’t be extradited to non-EU countries and if they would be, they still serve their sentence in Germany.

Article 16(2) of the German Constitution, 2(3) AICCM

Under the TCA, Germany has made the respective notification under article LAW.SURR.83(2)/article Law.Other. 134(1) (now articles 603, 690) that it will not surrender its own nationals.
Accusation warrants: Germans can be extradited, but only to EU member states and only under the condition that after their conviction, they will be transferred back to Germany to serve the sentence there.

Conviction warrants: German citizens can only be extradited if they consent (section 80, AICCM)
Sorry if i wasn't more specific. I was intending to highlight the commonality and overlap between classic liberal philosophy what we identify as modern upper case Liberals.

I think the video does a good job of highlighting how many classic liberals actually had the same tenants and objectives, such as respect, compassion, and human development.
You're right, management was simply the messenger relaying customer priorities.

I will point out that enough consumers are willing to pay for a quality products that many niche companies exist to serve them. Many citizens choose to move to countries/states with better services even if they have to pay higher taxes. There are employees who reject higher-paying jobs that require interacting with poor-quality software or processes. (I work for a niche company that makes and uses high-quality products in a high-tax / high service state so I know many people like this!)

> citizens as users need to demand better.

I get what you mean, but as you point out many people's revealed preferences show that they don't actually want quality in which case they already do "demand better" -- it's just that for them "better" means cheap, fast, and convenient.
