I suspect it's probably just easier for them to print all the race numbers the same way, but only use the transponder on races where it doesn't need to be accurate, or they need to take several measurements throughout the race.

For the longer distances, the lap times and finish times show up almost instantly when there's a big gap between athletes, although I believe there's a laser at the finish line too.

> it's absurd to claim there's an important threshold of increase whilst also claiming the baseline doesn't matter.

Because neither is true and neither is claimed. There are no important threshold and baseline will obviously shift what you are looking at.

The threshold put forwards in conference (1.5°C or 2°C) are a communication device because it's easier to draw a line and explain that to people. They are only targets and are not the most important objectives set during climate conferences (the Paris agreement would absolutely not be voided by crossing 1.5°C by the way, that's nonsense).

The fact is warming is obviously a continuous effect and the higher you go the more impact it has.
I feel that in this situation the balme is valid. Engineering was spot on until management threw it out the window as something in the way for making money.

They wanted to make things for sales, not for use. Usability is the side effect for sellable for them apparently: sometimes happen, sometimes not. While they were pushing on with sell sell sell sell sell, sell nooow! Instead of making something that is needed and is usable, so people would want to buy.

Sure, but the act of charging money for a service isn't inherently unethical. I just want to know where and what lines you draw.

>Regulators goal is to support competitive market and healthy business environment, they totally can go after monopolists who abuse network effect and/or put limit on rent amount (say 5-15% from transaction) to support value creators.

They could, but I'm not optimistic. I think many regulators are out of touch and don't realize how much upkeep digital commerce is saying. They see 30%, assossiate it to the days of brick and mortar which charged much more than that and say "well that's reasonable, Apple needs the money". All while ignoring the different landscape of how much people need to survive these days and how utterly hand over fist the middleman make.

There's just not a lot of empathy these days, and if all these Apple/Google lawsuits as is hasn't changed much, we need that empathy to make change.

I used to work for a Go shop. We dealt with financial data. I found it so annoying that many of my colleagues would use Go for one-off tasks such as aggregating CSV files, updating the database with some data, or fetching data from the database, and then trying to make a plot. I saw my colleagues again and again implementing basic algorithms such as rolling median, or finding a maximum. Instead of loading data into Pandas and doing a group by, they would create some kind of loopy solution that would use maps.

I totally understand why some people prefer Go in production to Python, but I could never understand why people wouldn't just learn the standard data science tools instead of reinventing the wheel in Go, always debugging their own off-by-one errors. It was difficult for me to trust the results of such analyses, given that I knew how many of the basic functions were written on the fly and probably not even tested.

In the end, I didn't think it was a good use of the company's time. It felt more like an ego thing - thinking and showing that Go is sufficient. It reminds me of how people try to use iPads to code - only to show that they can do it.

Ask HN: How to Hire a CMO?
Hey, my startup reached a moment where we need to develop a long-term marketing strategy.

Me and the other co-founders are all technical, we don't have any background in marketing, so naturally we decided that we need to find someone who has.

Our product already has early traction (~2K MAU) and there seem to be early signs of PMF (retention and some revenue).

What are the best resources to learn about hiring a CMO?

How to make candidates pass the BS check (since these skills are harder to prove than technical ones)?

What are some common gotcha's in hiring marketeers?

FYI: we're a startup in consumer crypto, which makes the task even more difficult

> If we'd started converting coal power entirely to nuclear in the 1970s and not stopped, we'd have had a chance to avert this. At this point we can still maybe blunt the effect but it's too late.

It's never too late.

I don't understand why people only want to see the social part of climate change and somehow refuse to look at it from a technical point of view. I blame ecologists for that because a lot of political movements which declare themselves ecologists actually have a social agenda which is not related to ecology and there is often a weird, seemingly catholic inspired, moral overlay on top which emphasis sacrifice and suffering for redemption - completely pointless.

The fact is warming happens because we have put too much greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The obvious solution to this problem is to, first, stop adding more which is what we generally discuss, then, remove the excess - perfectly doable if costly and energy consuming today.

What we need is more research into how to efficiently scrub CO2 for the atmosphere and how to do it on a large scale. Defeatism is a waste of time.
It greatly depends on the audience, but for many cases, unfortunately, it's more likely the case that you are dreaming.

Typical income flows for streamers include:

1. Passive advertising from video and stream platforms (which many adblockers do block)

2. Active advertising via sponsorships (which SponsorBlock wants to block)

3. Live stream donations

4. Video/stream-independent donations, most usually via Patreon

5. Paid "premium" or behind-the-scene programmes (partly overlaps with video/stream-independent donations due to their obvious weaknesses)

6. Merchandises

And not all streamers can do them at once. Live stream donations only work for some genres of streaming and it is easy to stress audiences. Usual donations may or may not work, but it is usually thought to be weaker than live stream donations due to its passiveness (unless you come up with very different perks, but then your income is completely independent from streaming).

Many high-profile channels rely greatly on merchandises because it does have significant margins if you can keep launching enough of them, but they are especially risky when your channel and/or stream is not large enough. So smaller channels have traditionally relied on passive advertising, but its flaws are well known and discussed to the death by now. (If you need a list though, higher processing fees, prevalence of adblocking, generally too low income to be sustainable, extreme platform dependence etc.) This leaves active advertising as a compelling option for smaller streamers, at least for now.

While I do loathe most kind of advertising, active advertising like this is something I can (barely) tolerate because it is meant to be performed by streamers themselves, unlike passive advertising which rarely relates to the streamer or content itself. And I'm afraid that there doesn't seem to be any other viable option remaining. I can always skip an ad portion of a video if I do find it annoying anyway.

There are several vendors who do this, for instance 1Password and the Omni Group both do. You have an in-app purchase option that is unlocked by a previous receipt. The challenge is that Apple does not provide tools to help or guidance. They do indeed think e.g. requiring users to buy an upgrade to keep the app working on a new annual iOS version or macOS version is a bad model for users.

Panic even had an upgrade for MAS users when they released their new version of the now defunct Coda outside the MAS (for sandboxing reasons).

Go is "opinionated" because it's designed to be simple rather than complete.

- Why are lower cased symbols not exported? Because it would be too complicated to add private / public keywords.

- Why isn't there exception handling? It's too complicated. It's simpler to just have everyone manually handle exception flow.

- Why isn't there an optional type? It's too complicated. Just use a nil pointer and or default values.

- Why aren't there sets or other rich datatypes in the stdlib? It's too complicated. Now go and write it yourself or download a microlibrary.

- Why are there no nil pointer protections? It's too complicated.

It's very easy to buy into the Golang PR and say "well it's just opinionated" as opposed to calling it "simplistic" or "incomplete". It's an okay language, I've written a lot of complicated stuff in it over the last 6 or so years, including a distributed KV database. Eventually you WILL hit the limits of "opinionated" design.
You just gave me a cool idea. You could do this by fitting small tuning forks (or similar) to a mechanical keyboard. Bonus points if all of the forks are tuned to a pleasant scale.

I can imagine a fridge with an (outside) camera that can take a picture of your groceries (make the user hold it for a fraction of a second in front of the camera) and categorize it as well as see its expiration date (or estimate, e.g. for fruits and vegetables) would actually be useful, considering we throw away so much food.

And if it can't identify the item, it can even ask the user to identify the item ("pasta I made last night") and how long they think it will last.

If it's made by a committee of idiots, it will just repeatedly say "Cannot identify item. Please name this item."... if it's actually good it will just have different beep tones for different states (Beep A: "All good", beep B: "Can't identify item", beep C: "Can't see expiration date", etc)
Whoah, how does it do that? It looks like magic, so does it handle the clickbait use of "this" as well ("this game", "this recipe", "this film")?

But even there you see the problem. The Ryzen CPUs are only in their lower end budget systems, and the Threadrippers are only in their expensive high end systems. If you need a 'mid-level' system (like we buy where I work), with say around a dozen cores, an RTX 4090, and 128 GB of RAM, then you have to go with Intel even here. Their cheapest Threadripper computer with matching specs is literally $3000 more.

> One big problem is that TSMC has been trying to do things the Taiwanese way, even in the U.S. In Taiwan, TSMC is known for extremely rigorous working conditions, including 12-hour work days that extend into the weekends and calling employees into work in the middle of the night for emergencies. TSMC managers in Taiwan are also known to use harsh treatment and threaten workers with being fired for relatively minor failures.

> TSMC quickly learned that such practices won’t work in the U.S. Recent reports indicated that the company’s labor force in Arizona is leaving the new plant over these perceived abuses, and TSMC is struggling to fill those vacancies. TSMC is already heavily dependent on employees brought over from Taiwan, with almost half of its current 2,200 employees in Phoenix coming over as Taiwanese transplants.
