The classic advice of “Don’t innovate outside your company’s area of differentiation” applies pretty firmly here.

Age old advice is that founders should put their attention on what matters for the startup to succeed. Succeeding already requires a lot of work. Avoid making things difficult where they don’t need to be.
This was one of the most effective tutorials I've read on HN. Define everything and hold our hands the entire way. I find I'm often frustrated reading tutorials on HN because they are often littered with ambiguous language, undefined labels, and incorrect assumptions on the reader's prior knowledge.

One of his major campaign leads wears Romanian nazi symbolism (think the Romanian equivalent of a swastika).

One of these, perhaps?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Romanian_fascist_symbols....

If you could provide these symbols (in Romain) that would be very helpful. And if it's not too much trouble, a few keywords (in Romanian) of that speech so I can look it up.

Not doubting you in the slightest, but these don't seem to be easily searchable (and I'd appreciate your take).
> The egress/ingress points can sometimes be accessible by shore, but the cables I have seen there are pretty heavily armored

I think the cables are of variable thickness. Thicker at the shore and in areas there is higher risk for damage because of rocks etc, and thinner where it's deeper and flatter.
> Ultralytics tools are open-source and are used by numerous projects spanning a wide range of industries and applications.

Open source and popular doesn't necessarily mean safe.

Technically you can read the code source but no one does that and especially for each update.
This is more impressionist pointillist than Nagai’s airbrush style.
We probably don’t care about these jobs. But the political and cultural care over manufacturing jobs is twofold (1) manufacturing in America ensured we can sustain ourselves in a war with another manufacturing nation (eg china) and (2) it’s a politically savory thing.

Today, we have pretty low unemployment so jobs isn’t as big a concern as other times. BUT jobs are not evenly distributed across the nation. If you visit the rust belt, those cities and towns are losing population as they lose jobs. That makes for an angsty population - staying in your hometown means fighting over the shrinking job pool. No one really wants to be a coal-miner or factory worker, but when that was the last big employer in your shrinking town, you get nostalgic for “good days” of high employment numbers, and a growing population.

Garments aren’t coming back unless American shopping habits change. We’ve started spending a smaller % of income on clothes, while buying more units of clothing per year. That favors clothes made by fast fashion under terrible work conditions - which will never be local. Unless you want to buy a $200 pair of ethically made jeans, you’re not getting it American.
> if this report were to quit today, are you able to step in and complete their project?

I don't think that's the main goal for a manager (even technical). I'd say generally, the manager should understand why the team is building something, and the engineers should know how. The why includes who is going to use what was built, when do they need it, what trade-offs can be made, etc.

Is there more round(s) where this guy could have been eliminated rather than cancelling the election result? That's the bit that confused me. Seems dangerous to strike down results when they appear to come from people voting like idiots rather than election voting machines being hijacked.

That has nothing to do with incorporating there. We're talking about paperwork, not actually spending time in the location.

Their EVs are fine (except for software), but why they are so expensive?
They are right, though, aren't they? I mean .. if you want something "modern", go ahead and learn Bazel. Make is quite a bit easier to learn, I'd say, and you don't need much (also no shell/bash) to express your DAG dependencies.
Sure. But this guy says “At the end of 2022, when I quit my job to work on my projects, I made resolutions: to make $1M in revenue in 2025.”
> didn't even scratch the concrete.

Exactly my point. Thanks for confirming. In general, attacking nuclear infrastructure with missiles is not considered funny.

But hey: give it a try! See how "funny" whatever anti-terror forces you nave in your country find it.

> The facts are well-known. [goes on to list an opinion of someone expressing "grave concern"]

My kind of humor!

Once again: nuclear is the pretty much the only power generation left in Ukraine, apart from Diesel generators. That is actual evidence.

Oh, and Ukraine is building new nuclear power plants.
There are many studies into this, but this Forbes article [0] is a good example:

> Of 123 honey exporters to Europe, 70 are suspected of having adulterated their products, and out of 95 European importers checked, two-thirds are affected by at least one suspect batch.

This is only one example, similar stings elsewhere have likewise found bleak results.

As the son of a beekeeper I can attest to this, the honey you find at a grocery store and what actually comes out of a hive are very different things. Even if you boil natural honey you still don't get the texture and consistency they have at the store.

Of course. Is that news to you? Not a snark, I am genuinely surprised, assuming that you asked seriously.

I moved to ZSH some years ago but even that is not good enough. I thought of using Fish at one point but just said "frak this" and started writing Golang for anything that's more than 20-30 lines of bash/zsh scripting. Or requires their weird list / array syntaxes for iterating over stuff. Can't ever remember that with a gun to my head.
I really wanted not to comment this because there are many better authorities in the topic here. OTOH, I am sure I will learn something:

There will be friction. We are trading convenience for security. Paid smaller provider with human support is more convenient and probably enough for most people.

Also, the own-domain-approach is for an important inbox. Read as: it is business related, it pays for itself. It also allows you to set up as many addresses as needed. The receiving inbox is the critical part of email here, because it is often part of your logins.

Regarding your outbox:

>you're going to get stuck in spam filters all the damn time. Your email address will feel broken, sending messages into the void.
I try to remember this: Initially using forwarding. Send the message directly from your address to the recipient, and a ccc to a (more popular) forwarding address that sends the duplicate to the recipient, and starts with a clear: DO NOT REPLY TO THIS ADDRESS, and a "reply to" your own domain address. Your domain will eventually gain traction. This is a time investment to prevent a [another] catastrophe.
Other mention this point as an "SMTP relay service", which is a much better.

Others also mention that domains can be seized, which sounds less likely than Google or Apple randomly blocking your account.

Failed Payments and other Domain management tasks, that's something I only know as much as any other passerby.

Edit: inbox vs outbox
> If you consider an underwater cable running from Finland to Germany or Sweden

Well, if you only think about direct links, then yes. But run 5 cables up and down the coasts of Sweden<>Finland, then also for Sweden<>Germany, Denmark<>Sweden and Denmark<>Germany and you start having a lot of redundancy.

Of course, that also adds a lot of ongoing costs for infrastructure, monitoring and maintenance, so not a silver bullet exactly.
I think the FDA should build towards mass food analysis. To sell something en masse you should have to put down a deposit, and the FDA should do an annual analysis of your food (via mass spectometry) from samples from the food store. They should mix dozens of samples from different states to get good coverage.

Should you fail (illegal pesticides, ingredients differ than label, too much lead, whatever) then you lose your deposit, all profits made that year on that product, and go through a process of re-earning the right to sell that product.

For small local brands I'd exempt them until the economics became viable.
Thank you for being sensible We have so many "intelligence professors", who can conveniently dismiss SoTA AIs with a sleight of hand (Cholet, LeCunn etc), yet completely ignore the superintelligent traits these AIs already exhibit.

FYI: SoTA AIs can think and reason. They're far far away from mere memorization & retrieval. They aren't human yet, nor do we expect them to be. They'll just keep getting ever better in their own ways, and become super duper useful for practically everything as computer buddies first, agents next, robots next next.

The "intelligence professors" I'm hoping will at some point shut up and accept that "functional/universal approximation" is all you need, which is abundantly done by neural nets of today.
> $80k isn’t even a year of rent for many here.

$80k is more than the median annual rent on a three-bedroom house in San Francisco; if its "not even a year of rent", even in the "SV crowd", that's because of lavish personal choices, not location-based necessity.

> There’s a reason people get paid $400k+/yr in SV.

Yes, because the jobs paying that are highly selective and there is lots of competition for talent. The cost of living in SV is a consequence of the concentration of high-paying jobs, not its cause.
I dispute that characterization but my bigger question is: stipulating what you say here, if you knew that to be my position, why did you write a comment about pistol grips and adjustable stocks?

> If I wanted ancient sh-isms and bash-isms

So don't, set make's shell to something else instead. It doesn't understand the recipes, it just dumps them to a file and runs $(SHELL) on them.

For a more extreme example, just to show what's possible:

SHELL := python3

.ONESHELL:

foo.csv:
import csv
with open("$@", "w") as f:
writer = csv.writer(f)
writer.writerows([
['Test1', 'Test2'],
['Test3', 'Test4'],
])
ouch! (and thank you!)

> Why are they saying this is "future tech"?

I read it like "we're doing proofs of concepts but it'll take some years before it's production ready", not some wishy washy "future tech". It's in the pipeline, just that the pipeline takes some time.
I've never worked in defense. Why do you equate working in those regions with working in defense?
The shell can be configured per OS. So, Windows can be set to use PowerShell and Linuxy systems will use sh.

Note that this is the Dickies that makes workwear [1], not the similar sounding but spelled differently Dickey's BBQ [2] or The Dickies band [3][4] who are one of the longest tenured punk rock bands having started in 1977 and are still performing.

Of the three the workwear maker is the only one I've never dealt with. The BBQ was pretty good several years ago, but I ended up just not going for a couple of years, then when I tried to the ones nearest me had all closed and the number a medium distance from me had greatly diminished and their ratings had tanked.

I've seen the band live twice and both had interesting interruptions. The first interruption there was a problem with an amp and they had to pause the show while it was fixed. The singer walked over to the keyboard and said that to entertain us while we waited he would play and named a Bach piece. I don't remember what piece it was other than it is one considered to be difficult piece, and he played it perfectly.

The second interrupted show was one where the crowd at the front of the stage was urging the singer to crowd dive. He asked them if he could piss on them instead. They shouted "YES!".

Big mistake. He then stopped singing, the stage crew quickly got a spotlight on his crotch, we got to see him unzip and whip it out...and he then proceeded to urinate on the people in front.

The show resumed but the people who had been pissed on kept trying to get onto stage, and security was having trouble keeping them back and the show had to be cut short.

An activist judge in Delaware overrode a vote of shareholders. Now, the vote was to give Elon Musk a big payday, but the more general problem is a judge intervened in corporate activity. It's widely assumed this will cause a lot of business to leave Delaware. There is now a new, legal risk in Delaware.
I'll agree on the DAG bit but I'll never use `make` again and I tried for no less than 10 years (on and off, not 24/7, otherwise I would have learned it long ago indeed).

I stay away from `make` almost religiously. Its complications _always_ find a way to creep into your file one day. Always. :(

So while they are technically correct and it's my fault for not saying I don't want `make` in the comment up-thread, I don't think my comment deserved the down arrows but oh well, I'll live through it.
Yes, it's possible with certain restrictions on the function. Here's an example:

u128 uuid_iter(u128 x) {
b = (x * x | 0x5) + x;
c = prf(x);
return (b ^ (c << 2)) & u122_mask;
}

This is a T-function, a function where the Kth bit only depends on the K-1 lower bits. prf() is a pseudo-random function that can be anything you like as long as it's another T-function. A standard LCRNG like (48271 * x) % 2147483647 works just fine for instance.

You can invert this by just running the function N times to test each bit from LSB to MSB against the result. If you know certain bits, you don't have to run those tests and you can order the matching UUIDs by the values of the K unknown bits from 0 to 2^(N - K) - 1.

You also don't need to keep track of the position with this method either, only a stopping point. Unlike the feistel network, this function also produces a full cycle when iterated as x_i+1 = f(x_i), only repeating after all numbers are produced. That means you could run this without a counter at all, just generating until the first value is produced again, for any bit length.
Not sure why you default to an uncharitable mode in understanding what I am trying to say.

I didn't say they know their own tells. I said they naturally output them for you. Maybe the obvious is so obvious I don't need to comment on it. Meaning this whole "tells analysis" would necessarily rely on synthetic data sets.

> "Consumers don't tend to like crystallized honey," says Jill Clark, vice president for sales and marketing at Dutch Gold. "It's very funny. In Canada, there's a lot of creamed honey sold, and people are very accustomed to honey crystallizing. Same in Europe. But the U.S. consumer is very used to a liquid product, and as soon as they see those first granules of crystallization, we get the phone calls: 'Something's wrong with my honey!'"

Anecdotal but everything in that NPR article rings true to me. American consumers are used to the bear shaped bottles with purified honey that’s barely distinguishable from sugar syrup and could easily be adulterated but the raw honey I usually buy is so obviously honey from the taste and texture that I have a hard time believing any of it is adulterated. If honey producers were really that good at artificially replicating flavor profiles, they’d be far ahead of the rest of the food science industry.
I agree with your sentiment. I am at loss how he plans to pay his rent and food given 60$ to his account. The income he mentioned does not cover one month's rent. This is a stark difference between privilege and lack-thereof. The blog post is nonsense given he does not address any of his fixes, while leads me to believe he has family or spousal support (for otherwise, they would not be picking up new hobbies. I was once broke, and I recall being panicked and working gigs to pay my rent. The fact he is doing none of these leads me to agree with your observations).
O great. More cars that look identical.
It’s not about moving your HQ to Delaware or Wyoming. It’s about adopting the corporate law of the state of incorporation. When a company incorporates in a state like Delaware, they usually have minimal physical presence (eg. a PO Box / mail forwarding service, a firm that supplies a minimal skeleton board and does minimal corporate rituals).
Yes, and people who live there are involved in making decisions about the paperwork. It's no coincidence that California and New York aren't there.
How long until the next shock hits, building cars without a steering wheel, but with a sensor suite and self-driving software?
Not a bad idea, thanks. I did this a few times as well but when I analyzed the ROI I figured that just writing a simple-ish Golang program is just less confusing and more consistent in its totality when you ask yourself "do I really have to use Make and Python and, and, and...?".

So yeah, thanks for bringing visibility to this pretty decent compromising approach. It worked for me for a while but eventually I just went all-in to either use `just`, some _very_ short bash/zsh scripts, or jump all the way to Golang.
The problem with “paycheck to paycheck” is that it evokes images of people struggling to make ends meet—to pay the rent, keep the lights on, and put food on the table. But a lot of people today are using it to mean someone who’s living beyond their means—spending $1100/month on a brand new pickup truck while sending their kids to private school and maxing out their 401k. That’s not a problem of an unfair economy; it’s simply poor discipline. And so when a half-assed marketing survey asks people if they’re living paycheck to paycheck, you end up with 60% of respondents saying, “Yes,” when in reality only maybe 20% are struggling because they’re in a truly difficult situation. The rest of them may just need to settle for a less expensive car and maybe turn down their 401k contribution for six months so they can pay off their credit cards.
when they say Trump = Hitler, because he had a rally at MSG.

No, not "because he had a rally at MSG".

But because of the things he said at that rally.

Do you understand the distinction?

It's also definitely not true that most of the people saying he's a fascist are saying he's "a Nazi"; that's an overdrawn distortion. And a lot of these people with concerns about his rhetoric don't even necessarily think he's a fascist per se; though they do find a matter of concern that he seems to at least be channeling fascist rhetoric.

Whether you agree with them or not is beside the point. What seems much more significant is that you seem to have a weirdly muddled (and hyperemotionalized) view of what people actually think about Trump, and why.
The trillions in daily financial transactions that cross the Atlantic via undersea cable is the main concern.
Can anyone with experience with just and tools like npm/yarn explain if there are any benefits to use just instead of codifying commands into the "scripts" field of the package.json? Commands can also be enumerated. How often would I benefit from just's other features?

Sure, the healthcare system is "designed and perpetuated" by all of its participants, in the same way that poor labor practices in Asia are perpetuated by Walmart cashiers.

Technically all of the participants involved are a part of the system, yes, but my key point here is that none of them have the agency to change it.

The only people who can change it are voters and congress themselves.
> The way to see this is that we’re all individual contributors, from the janitor to the CEO. Because if you’re not an individual, then what are you? And if you’re not contributing, then what are you doing there? When you manage a project or team, you’re just individually contributing in a different (though usually overlapping) way.

The difference is in how your performance is judged. ICs are judged by their individual contributions, hence the name. Managers are judged by the performance of their team/department/organization/company. It's not enough to say, as a manager, "I personally ran the sprint meetings and did 1:1s and performance reviews so therefore I'm doing a good job."

The individual work managers do is much harder to tangibly measure. Things like establishing a culture, balancing your roadmap between one-off customer requests and internal production vision (and hacking in some AI crap to make your CEO happy), hiring the right people. Just doing the table stakes individual work of managing your direct reports' vacation time, promotions, and running team meetings is really only good enough for beginner, first-level line managers at bigger companies, where they just need people to execute established processes.

> Also, it’s helpful to remember, when delegating, that one reason you’re probably managing is that you either have tired of running your brain in fifth gear or, at your age, can’t.

ehhhhh. Management is a lot more reactive, that's true, but saying it requires less brainpower isn't true. As a manager you're constantly context switching. You don't just care about the codebase and solving one specific problem, you also care about sales and marketing, your customer support team, the budget for next year. You're getting slack messages from executives who need an update right now on your project, at the same time as an engineer needing to talk because their partner just filed for divorce and they need mental health days (and you need to support them while also figuring out how to rebalance their workload). It's a very different way of working that uses very different parts of your brain. But it's not just sitting in the executive bathroom and delegating work while you smoke a cigar.
