Trump announced that he believed Putin over his own intelligence.

But then there was the time Biden installed Hunter on the White House staff and ordered that he be given a security clearance, despite dozens of discrepancies, undisclosed foreign contacts, and other red flags on the paperwork. Oh, wait, no, that was Trump, too.
Interesting.

I'm currently in a client issued laptop. i7 11800H, 32GB RAM, RTX 3060. Not bad but not a speed demon either.

cpu barely has to work and I have tons of tabs, youtube, twitch, docker containers, 3 IDEs open including IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 3 different database servers running (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MariaDb) and Google Drive is uploading some pictures.

CPU tends to hover around 20% and hardly goes over 40% as you can see here:

It’s attempting to push the narrative that TikTok is somehow the exception and is being treated unfairly, and that this is the big bad USA violating constitutional rights when this is just exactly how businesses with adversarial governments are treated in America. We already know Chinese controlled social media bots are amplifying to far right and far left extremists who act as useful idiots to spread this bait.

The US government regularly intervenes in the free market, especially when national security is involved. It’s no different than banning Huawei from critical infrastructure, but allowing Nokia to stick around. Look at real estate, automotive industry, hell even construction has similar restrictions.

My concern is strictly national security, it’s my own opinion and I definitely could be wrong, but given what I’ve seen that’s public, there’s not really a downside here. Someone will buy TikTok, and they will make a shit load of money. People will call it a conspiracy, but at the end of the day the idea of China running a social media platform just does not seem very logical no matter how you spin it.

Protectionist trade policy is nothing new, and in the big picture that’s what this really is.
It's not you; parsing line-based text is fundamentally simpler than parsing structured data like JSON, especially nested JSON. It's just a lot easier to reason about, and a lot easier to split up in smaller chunks, too. Who hasn't ended up with something like:

cmd | sed | grep | sed | grep

Each bit gets you closer what you want in small easy-to-understand steps, making it fairly easy to develop. And for things you only do once or twice, who cares as long as it works, right? I find that's a lot harder to do with jq. I feel this is a problem waiting for a better solution (and gron isn't it).
At the lower end of the market, the main competition (Google, Bing, Apple) are totally free. The emphasis on QGIS support suggests that they're hoping to capture "prosumer" and smaller business applications that would get value out of a more professional toolset but aren't in a position to get into the ESRI pricing tier. If you can get people to do their basic looking around in your product for free, you have a way better chance of making some money off of them when they want a more specialized product from time to time.

I'm in that sort of position, I have research projects that I've even paid for custom satellite tasking for (not as expensive as you would think these days!), but I don't have the budget for a costly subscription. It's only in recent years that there are services that appeal to these lower-dollar user types though. The free for the basics, fee for analytics and tasking model is pretty common for newer remote sensing companies and I think the trend will continue.

Yeah this one got me. I have nothing to do with YC but I was hired to consult to a couple of really nice young guys who were YC alumni. They worked their asses off doing All The Right Things - talking to customers, reaching out to people with deep experience :) - and when they realised it wasn’t going to work out, they pivoted right away.

This is the exact opposite of digging in one place for the rest of your life, and as someone who has done a few startups, I was super impressed by their attitude and their ability to let go (even though I was out of a gig!)

I think they’re going to do great whatever they do, and at least some of that will be because of what they learned at YC.

> You could argue FISA should be stricter, but it can’t extend the Constitutional reach of the Fourth Amendment, nor can it contract it the way many in this thread believe it’s somehow doing.

Congress can't pass a law violating the Fourth Amendment. They can certainly pass a law constraining the executive from doing something that is otherwise constitutional, if the courts are reading the Fourth Amendment too narrowly.

They could also straightforwardly require the FISA court to publish its opinions, or have the same cases heard in ordinary federal courts with public accountability for the decisions. There is nothing in the constitution requiring secret courts.
I completely agree that there’s a need for change in terms of inclusivity within tech entrepreneurship. However, I’m not convinced that YC is necessarily the starting point for this shift.

I really like imagining how people of the future (like hundreds of years in the future) looking at our current culture and technology will try to interpret things that I seem to get without thinking.

What Does Athens Do?

Athens provides a server for Go Modules that you can run. It serves public code and your private code for you, so you don’t have to pull directly from a version control system (VCS) like GitHub or GitLab.

This is a useful tool, This should be RIGHT AT THE TOP of the GitHub readme.

Its go, binary installs are a big selling point. Make this a priority. I want to build myself, containerize it myself (or vm' it or have it run locally...).

Bookmarked for when I have free time cause this looks like a useful project!

If the net benefits of not having a union accrue to the company and shareholders, perhaps having a union to balance things out is a good thing. I mean, without the workers, there is no company, management, or customer. Seems the workers should get their fair share of output and if they're not they have no way to change that except to beg or quit. With a union, collective bargaining can lead to contracts that are more balanced for workers/owners and that's a good thing for everyone because those workers are consumers too who need good pay to buy a good life to drive production of good life goods and services.
The advice is wrong/outdated.
> And I don't understand why this isn't expressed a simple quid pro quo

Because the current situation is already quid pro quo. The rule now is US companies can operate in China if they obey the same rules in China that Chinese companies have to obey in China, and Chinese companies can operate in the US if they obey the same rules in the US that US companies have to obey.

FB is not in China because China requires social media companies to turn over the identities of posters that post things the Chinese government does not like. FB does not want to do that and so FB is not allowed in China.

Everything that people speculate that TikTok might do or be used for has already happened and continues to happen on Facebook. The quid pro quo approach would be for the US to regulate or ban those things on all social media apps in that operate in the US.
Is Vicksburg a rural or urban area? Honestly, many of the places in the Deep South defy rural/urban classifications. Surely they have politics, I just never saw a protest. Not having a well defined city center to protest at helps.
How would that help? Political parties operate in states. States are banning books and outlawing abortions too.

It's called "Both Sides"

We have a dangerous fracture forming in our society because people have divided themselves into silos where they are only exposed to left or rightwing media. I think it would be valuable to try and bring people together so they can be exposed to multiple points of view.

Imagine a news website split into three columns. Down the centre is a very dry, wikipedia style description of events with testimony from eye witnesses. It should aim to be as accurate and neutral as possible. It should present full quotes and press releases. It should not try and create a story that's entertaining.

Then on either side of the the dry list of events, you have a two journalists interpret the content in the centre and present multiple points of view. These columns are where the entertainment happens.

Then below you have a heavily moderated user commentary section where the community can share their thoughts.

There are countless little problems that would need to be overcome, but the objective would be to try and find a market of people looking for a source of news without spin, and perspectives of both sides of the political spectrum.

> What is the difference between .. There's zero difference between any of them except how you parse and process the data.

Answered in the previous message... "A data serialization language allows the end-user to specify how they would like to use that data, while allowing them to use standard parsing tools like jq. Cramming complex data into a value string in a key=value format gives end users the same allowance to use that data however they want, while also giving them a chore to handle parsing it in custom ways tailored to just your CLI application, likely in ways that would seem far more brittle than parsing a defined language with well defined constraints."

> With line-based shell-variable output you have a line of variables and you have blocks of lines separated by an empty line (like an HTTP 1 header)...

I would not choose to write application logic that foregoes defined data serialization languages for parsing barely structured strings the way you seem to prefer. But you go about it the way you prefer, I guess. This whole discussion leaves a lot of room for personal opinions. I think we both agree that the other person's opinion here is subjectively the more annoying route to deal with. But that's the way life is sometimes.
> One of the bad learnings you get from YC is that there’s a formula for success, and it looks like this: First you do some brainstorming. Then you come up with a good idea that can scale to a billion dollars

What if we have an unusual social media idea for which the reason it works also means it stops working once it's worth a billion dollars?

(Specifically, once it's that valuable, it's too high visibility, and is hit with too much adversarial manipulation, destroying what was most valuable about it. Then it's just a generic property, little different than the competition.)

(Obviously, HN itself has had better success and longevity than most, despite its rising visibility. OTOH, the Reddit front page seemed to get taken over ages ago, and then they still had to chill for more than a decade before IPO.)
Strategically this makes sense if the goal is just to get people to use Thunderbird, but ideologically JMAP support would be a lot nicer in my opinion.

1 degree = 60 arcminutes, 1 arcminute = 60 arcseconds

One arcminute is about the resolution of the human eye. That is, if two points are less than 1 arcminute apart on the your field of view, they appear as one point.

The moon is 30 arc minutes (1/2 degree) on your field of view, that's why one can see the details of the surface with the naked eye.

18 arcseconds is about the size of Saturn (without the rings) as seen from the earth. It means it is just precise enough to shoot through the rings of Saturn. You can't see this without magnification, like with a small telescope or a good pair of binoculars.

8. Shave your luscious locks out of respect for the institution of marriage (and to cosplay as Alexander1 Grothendieck)

7. Start a company making real value instead of web crap

8. Adopt a leadership and mentorship role, where you teach category theory, business theory, and software engineering

9. Build and own your own AI replacement

Not yet, but this is an obvious step in the same direction, "banning" a social media platform to prevent exposure to foreign ideas. It's difficult not to assume the motives are similar, a need to control political narratives and manufacture consent for American policy.

I mean, the first mention of empiricism was about classifying alchemy as a type of empiricism, which leads one to believe the discussion can't be about empiricism in the technical philosophical sense because being an empiricist or not doesn't have anything to do with alchemy technically speaking, and as the discussion went on there was a claim made that empiricism is justified empirically which is something that none of the three paradigmatic empiricist philosophers (Locke, Berkeley, Hume) said, so the context of the discussion didn't seem to suit the technical meaning of the word. The spirit of the discussion seemed to be more about empirical reasoning and its empirical justification, so I went along with that.

>Why? Why cannot I not simply observe that when I base my decisions on plausible explanations of things that I observe I get better outcomes than when I base my decisions on some other criterion?

You can observe that, I'm just saying that this doesn't prove anything about sensory experience being the primary means for knowledge. Like, Descartes, the paradigmatic rationalist, is happy to do this. But he still thinks that logical truths arrived at through experience-independent reasoning are the primary source of knowledge.
The arguments in that discussion don't really make sense either. Such lanes exist outside Latin America too. Like the "busbaan" in Almere, Netherlands. Edit: And in Diemen, as pointed out above.

But generally this "process-first" attitude makes me step back as a contributor immediately. I prefer doing something the wrong way and fixing it later instead of not doing it at all.

The same thing totally antagonizes me against Wikipedia editors so I never participate there either.

> Graph API has been considered and may be considered again in future, but it currently provides narrower support than EWS and lacks some functionality for desktop applications. Even with the announcement that EWS support will be removed for Exchange Online, it's still valuable in the short term for enabling access for a wide userbase and in the long term for supporting users using on-premise installations.
What is the source for a book description?

I ask because I just started listening to "Straight Man" by Richard Russo and looked it up on Shepherd. Shepherd mentions that "Straight Man" is being made into a TV series.
