Hmm I suppose you're right. I guess you'd see very few transmissions during the journey due to time dilation, and then those 10 years would arrive relatively quickly when slowing/stopping?

I was thinking of this being the first half of the twin paradox, but perhaps for the apparent "time gap" in the spacetime diagram to appear, it's necessary for the traveling twin to turn and head back towards Earth quickly to shift simultaneity plane back in the other direction.
I’ve always found podcast discovery to be lacking, so I’m building the ultimate solution to that.

We’re processing the top podcasts in many genres every day (currently thousands of daily episodes) and running them through our pipeline.

From this we’ve made a semantic search engine, for example: https://www.podengine.ai/podcasts/search?search_term=Should+...

We’re soon going to improve and summarise the responses from the raw embeddings in a few ways. Would love some feedback on the experience.

We have also opened up a keyword alerting feature to alert folks when they’ve been talked about in an episode.
Great, so you can be a Boeing employee that tried to raise the issue on multiple occasions, you have the documentation to prove that, you rage quite, and then attempt to blow the whistle, but the planes crash anyways. What a pathetic human you are for taking so long to grow a pair.

You should grow up and realize not everyone is the same. So you've rage quit twice out of "principles". Great. What changed at the company you left? Some would rightfully call you a quitter for not seeing through with the changes.

We can all have views on either end of this, but it doesn't make any of us RIGHT.
Usually we look to the US as the epicenter of tech trends that then ripple to the rest of the world - but when it comes to the mass layoffs the strength of Europe's worker rights and unions really leads to severely different experiences despite being in the same industry.

Of course we too have hiring freezes and co. here, but nowhere near the devastatingly huge layoff swathes. They would hardly be legal without prior negotiations.
Before shutdown of Events API Facebook was a convenient hub for social events and parties. Shutting it down led to organizers no longer posting events to FB (I guess they were using some 3rd party platforms that cross-post to multiple sites) and just removed one of the few remaining reasons to use FB.

This I imagine will have similar effect with some groups moving elsewhere (Instagram, Twitter?), just further shrinking userbase.

That possibility can be debunked using a simple fact - Nigerian Americans perform comparable to Asian Americans.

On top of that, most Nigerian Americans tend to be Yoruba and Igbo, just like the ancestors of most African Americans.

Unless you mean the genetic factor is caused by English and Scotch Irish Americans, as most African Americans have around 20% white ancestry, which was caused by sexual relations (mostly non-consensual).

Yet English and Scotch Irish Americans perform within the White average.

Alternatively, genetic based arguments don't make sense when humans are almost virtually identical, and the fact that race is inherently arbitrary - are the Kardashians white? If yes, then is Recip Tayyip Erdogan white? If yes, then is Ayatollah Khamenei white? If yes, then is Hamid Karzai white? etc.

Clearly, racial and genetic factors don't make sense.

Instead, economic and social factors make more sense (poor people do worse at exams due to less resources, sadly most African Americans are poorer than other similar groups due to historical traumas).

Why is it that these kinds of accounts on HN always seem to have been made in 2021?

I'd argue you almost have a moral obligation to take the railroading, otherwise society begins to collapse. At least with the railroad there's a chance that the defense is sufficient, that the jury concurs, and the issues get exposed. If nobody fights it, it will metastasize.

I understand how impossibly hard that could be in the moment, but never never go quietly into that dark night.

Unless, of course, you're guilty and you know it, then clap your hands on anything that reduces what you have to suffer for it, I guess.
"Meta doesn't have that good will to draw on" this is literally what drove my purchase. I just don't trust FB to respect me as a human, let alone as a paying customer. I think, "Yeah, Apple is over-priced. But, I'm paying to be a customer and not a product"

Of course, I'm not confident that is actually true. At all.

How does this belong on HN frontpage? This is not just trivial, as another commenter 6 hours ago (!) posted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39262873

It's not hacker, it's not news, it's not innovative, it's simply boring, and would be cool if a 10 year old did this. Sorry for this rant, but I'm reading on and off HN over ~10 years and contributing under various user names, and I read comments like mine over and over again, and each time agreeing more.

Maybe everyone who definitely will downvote my post should read the first guideline "What to submit":

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

A random() over the time HN exists, with a link to the generated date, which doesn't even handle back correctly is not something good hackers find interesting.

On the other hand, there are still lots of on-topic, curiosity inducing topics around here. Just getting scarcer every year. Oh my. Good night :)

They implied they avoided that because warping into a gravity well would cause some vague catastrophe.

Of course, the real reason was far more sinister: it’s way more dramatic to slowly creep up on the planet while listening to the captain’s log monologue to start the episode.
link seems broken to me.
It's about perspective.

What to you (and pretty much anyone else) looks like a business that just needs adjustments to reach profitability, to the VCs it's profile maintenance work for little relative benefit in the long-term. The chances of that company turning 10-20x profits in the next few years is basically zero and they just cut their losses (in their view).
> Something is clearly better than nothing.

To you and I, this is patently obvious. This is not true however for VCs. In a lot of them, they'd prefer you fail entirely rather than limp along making 1x, 1.5x their investment. Zeroing out is preferable sometimes, weirdly.
>and that this might only take a couple weeks to sort out

Unless you have the demo to end all demos and some VC connections, I don't think "a couple of weeks" is anywhere near realistic to sort our a "burst of investment". Not to any amount enough to hire to make a dev team, as you said is your goal.

"Six months to a year, and after quite a lot of struggle" is probably more realistic.
Doesn't really work this way. A lot of the wonkiness in SR is tied to the fact that the speed of light is the same, measured in _any_ reference frame.

So, say you're on earth and you measure the speed of light... you find that it's c (~3x10^8 m/s).

Now you get on a spaceship and accelerate to 0.5c with respect to earth, and you measure the speed of light relative to your spaceship... still c!

In this way, you can't really define a reference frame with a speed "the same as the speed of light". And if you try, you'll run into nasty infinities in all your equations that will cause them to blow up and stop being useful.
I wouldn't return either.
No to be pedantic, but payroll isn’t 100% of cost. Plus cash flow issues, sales volatility, probably declining revenue as you scale down…my guess is the headcount should be more like 20-30. And that might not cover their personnel needs if a lot of their revenue relies on services and customer success (which is usually the case for OSS companies)
You need to maintain a UNIQUE index and have two IDs, with the one set as primary key solely existing for on-disk ordering. It's a nasty hack.
> That's probably pretty brutal summary of most of past two decades I guess?

Longer. This has been the main playbook even going back to the '00s!
> by the blanket assertions

I mean, I think you're making up blanket assertions where there are none. I haven't made a blanket assertion. I specified the difference between policy and legality.

I then said "I don’t think most casinos have private security that will beat you any more" That's not a blanket assertion. It specifically says "most casinos".

I have never asserted that it NEVER happens and can NEVER happen.

So, I think your confusion is a product of your own assumptions.

If Elon's thoroughly understands the products his companies develop, he has an engineering-first mindset? That logic would also apply to many CEOs we wouldn't consider "engineering-first" CEOs.

For me, this is the only discussion. My focus is not at all on whether Elon would be a good fit for Boeing. I don't give a shit about that conversation.
Actually FLTK has full unicode support, right-to-left and bidi text.
The limiting factor is the OS.
For rtl and bidi, it depends on the OS. On linux for example, if FLTK is built with pango support, it'll support them just fine. On windows and macos, these work out of the box.
As for accessibility, the only thing missing is screen reader support. Otherwise tab navigation, ime and other modalities are supported.
FLTK's bindings in Rust provide an accesskit adapter which supports screen readers using the accesskit crate.

In addition to that, companies want CEOs to take some level of risk to grow the company, And to take the fall when needed for bad decisions / press / accidents and incidents. The golden parachute, as is my understanding, is an all but explicit pay to take responsibility and be the fall guy / resign with many a hollow sounding apology letter when and as needed from shareholder perspective (which may not overlap from our own perspective on when that would be needed or appropriate).

Plus everything op said about capitalism and market.
Found another one to double check. It says "dead", so I assume that means it's at -4. It also doesn't say [flagged], so it's not flag killed. 19 hours old. No down arrow. No up arrow either, for that matter. No arrows at all. The only thing I could do was vouch for it.

But almost all of that author's recent comments are dead, so maybe what I'm seeing instead is someone who's shadowbanned.
Most new car buyers in Europe are already paying more than the cost of a BYD Dolphin. It’s really not about subsidy anymore.

I don't think breaking the EULA is the charge though.
In both Physics undergrad and grad school, I did a lot of assignments (probably 50-100) all directly in latex. I don't make a lot of mistakes in the math syntax, I can comfortably read the source, and if I do encounter a compiler error I usually know where I made the mistake. I never found it difficult.

Later, when I become a prof, I had a few students who were the same. Assignments done directly in latex. So I am by no means unique.

UUID7 offers several key advantages:

- sortable by insertion
- less vulnerable to sequence prediction attack
- allows partitioning of tables in the future

Sequence prediction attack is a problem when you want to use identifiers in a public API. For example, a user or competitor can iterate through your product catalogue by incrementing the key. Sorting by inserting is a common use case as well. You can achieve this with an auto-incrementing primary key, however, this will create issues when you need to partition the table. Of course, you may never need this functionality, but there is a reason UUID7 have been added, as they are very useful in certain scenarios.
>Is this implying that Asian immigrants do better because of genetics (nature)?

Yes, that is very likely true. I would go as far as to say that the "nurture" side of this coin is to a large extent an indirect result of nature as well.
No I don't buy this.

The shareholders would be better off if they promised a $800m incentives-based / performance-based package (e.g. stock options etc.) than promising $80m if the CEO performance sucks.

And any CEO rejecting this offer, is a huge red flag.
For sure, our goal is to solve the toughest problems in electrical engineering, we are starting with the low hanging fruit. Confident reuse of designs that can be verified and validated before a chip is placed sounds pretty exciting to me!

BOM generation and abstraction have definitely not made it to PCBA design yet, so that is where we are starting.

Stoked to get to the hard stuff.
The A320neo family has a backlog of over 7000 orders. As much as Airbus is ramping up production in the past few years, with their current ~600 goal for 2024 that’s still a 12 year wait if you order one today.

> I have a 32:9 curved monitor, and I can easily look at the "side" apps by tilting my head just a few degrees, with my eyes doing the rest of the work.

I have one of these at work, and I really, really hate it precisely because I can't keep the whole thing in my field of view at once. I can't even imagine trying to work if that effect is even worse.
I’m actually butthurt about being misinformed or getting tired by debunking a repeated nonsense that lacks the “joke” tag. Not by the jokes themselves. So yes, I think it’s a good thing there’s a way for users to signal that without explaining. And it’s frustrating that some people will miss the point even when pointed clearly at the reason, or see internet points as something expendable rather than just a feedback.
But my point is: When is that standardization actually leveraged? Literally, tactically, what does "you know what to expect as a developer" mean? When is this standardization used in a fashion that enables more capability than just "the ID is a string don't worry about it"?

The realistic answer is: it isn't, because pre-UUIDv7 there was literally nothing about the UUID spec that conferred more capability than just a random string. And, truly; people used them as "just gimme a random string" all the flipping time. The pipes of the internet are filled with JSON that contains UUIDs-in-a-string-field, 4 bytes wasted to hyphens, 1 byte wasted to a version number, none of that is in service to anyone or anything.
Let's try this thought experiment. You are shopping at a grocery store. It's a regular day in your life. Then, without warning, you are arrested by the cops and taken to the police station. They put you in the holding cell. They take your laptop, phone, etc. You ask for your one call. They lead you to the wall mounted phone and you stick your quarter in.

What percentage of the HN readership here would be able to dial the number of a competent criminal attorney?

Engagement with the criminal justice system is so out of the ordinary for most people that they simply do not know what to do. It's easy to say, "shut up and call your lawyer", but most regular joes have absolutely no idea how to find a lawyer, vet them, engage with them, etc.

In normal life, if you need a lawyer, you Google some reviews, or you look up something in yellow pages, or you ask your local state bar association for a referral for the area of legal practice. None of those things are happening at 2am in a holding cell without any of your regular devices. And asking for the public defender is not likely to give you much comfort given their caseload.

Now imagine that you are not the classic affluent educated HN reader with access to all kinds of resources, and consider what it must be like for working class people. It's not fun.
The question you have to ask yourself is if this was all true 20 years ago then how could today's numbers be "records". When records are being broken that means that things aren't the same as they have been.

Maybe you could say that America has been in decline for a long long time, but it's still doing worse today in several metrics than it ever has.

Czechs were only part of the Russian Empire for about 45 years, and only in the 20th century. Could have been worse.

I think you just struggle to understand how fundamentally your country is hated by Eastern Europeans. Russia is like Germany, if Germany still was proud of its Nazi heritage. You just don't get it, it's sad, you're so hated but you have no idea why, you're just so blinded by ultranationalism. Russia could have chosen to enter the 21st century but instead decided to enter the 18th. Meanwhile most of your people outside of Moscow and St Petersburg don't even have indoor toilets. It's honestly tragic what a gigantic shithole your country is, and yet you're so proud of it being such a gigantic shithole. Just tragic.

In Australia there would be no public vote for this. It would just be some internal council decision.

For the comments saying we "just" need to maintain a 1G acceleration, should point out that as the ship approaches the speed of light, its mass increases [0].

And as the mass increases, so does the thrust required to maintain that acceleration. So that engine better be able to tap into some magical energy source, otherwise it can't maintain the acceleration at the higher speeds. :)

Well we definitely didn't have the same experience. Labs and course work often made up between 25%-50% of the grade. This has been the case in both undergrad and grad school at a top school. If you did sloppy work and got Bs all semester you weren't magically going to turn that into an A with some good exams, even if it was theoretically possible. The points definitely weren't free either.
Yes, if you say codewords along the lines “I have just arrived to the US and don’t yet have an SSN”. Worked for me.
I should have double-checked. I was going off memory. I lived in SF at the time, and I remembered only the person who died after the crash. My memory was wrong. If I could go back and amend my comment to address this (and other inconsistencies pointed out by others), I would.
In the case of electrical failure, wouldn't most newer cars fail to change modes even with a physical switch since the mode selector does not have a physical linkage?

In the case of an EV with electrical failure, no change in mode would be needed to physically push the vehicle since there is not a transmission lockout, right?
Uh yeah? Lots of stuff is fundamentally easier with only 5 million people, especially if the population is highly urbanized like Norway.

For one thing, roughly speaking around 15 million EVs are produced a year right now.

So ignoring politics, economics, administration and operating purely on the basis of what's physically possible, each Norwegian could have 3 electric cars this year if we sent all EV production capacity to them.

Meanwhile Germany has around 80 million people, France and UK around 70m each, Italy around 60m, and Poland around 40m. So for any of these culturally, politically, and economically similar countries, even in the hypothetical scenario here where we direct all of the global production of EVs to one country it would take multiple years for every person to get just one.

Ok, now consider that Russia, Japan, and Mexico each have well over 100 million people. Pakistan and Brazil have over 200m, the USA over 300m, China and India are both over 1.4 billion.

So yeah, I'd say it's definitely much easier to hit national percentage targets when you're working with 5 million people...

My grandfather wrote 75-80 books and I asked him that very question. He said it depended on the genre. His YA or thriller books, he did not plan the ending but discovered it along the way. For mystery books, he wrote the ending first and then worked backwards to get to the first chapter. For biographies, he said he'd better know the end or he didn't do his research properly.
