I think this is a bs pseudo-science article. Instead of saying it’s an age decline maybe just say that it’s very rare to do the same thing progressively better for more than 20 years. Therefore instead of viewing life in progressive terms

On the website your slogan employs poor word choice: Discover and listen to amazing podcasts that's worth your time Should be “that are worth your time.” Just like you have it in your show hn headline. Sorry to nitpick!

My problem with UBI is that it somehow doesn’t seem to be such a good idea to pay people to sit around and do nothing - except perhaps get too deep into social media. At the same time, I do see some benefit to the Danish-style garden leave

My apologies if that came off as criticism when it was intended to be violent agreement.

100gbps is a bit more than a PR approved statement! It wasn’t much too long ago that AWS guaranteed any kind of bandwidth beyond a gig.

I think you’re close in your perspective but I don’t think I would describe it as generational nor using the game analogy. Here’s my suggestion - coming from someone who spent a few years in the grassroots of a party’s infrastructure. Fir

A lot of people are guarded in corporate settings. They speak in corporate talk and don’t really appear human. If you’re “vulnerable” then this shield of corporate invincibility is put down and people can be people. That’s in my view wha

I’ve seen this so many times as well where candidates under sell themselves or key accomplishments never get brought up. Even Elon Musk in the most recent Autonomy day had to say to Karparthy “introduce yourself and don’t be bashful.” Eve

I’ve heard this type of speech before. It’s a very candid almost scary talk designed to shake you up and get you focused. The gist was don’t think this degree is all you need. If you get lax some jerk with a history degree is going to ta

I’ve read the paper that started this idea of Starlink being a low latency alternative for hft ( http://nrg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/mjh/starlink-draft.pdf ) There are a couple of problems with the paper. The first is that they es

I’m often reminded of that scene in the right stuff where Glenn and Co demand a window... and a hatch. The “conspiracy” against pilots isn’t a new one! :)

My view of jams is they are caused by three expectations drivers have: 1) that the speed limit is still the “minimum speed” recommendation in heavy traffic. Ie, if it’s 65, one can still attempt to drive 74. 2) that the left lane is goin

I’m assuming the justification was something along the lines of a) enabling a credible consumer of ford’s x, y and z products (from finance, to parts, to logistics, to whatever is tucked underneath the blue oval). B) enabling of a workforc

I’m wondering what new spinoff comes from the hardware... does it have benefits / application to anything in addition to AD?

If you’ve listened to their earnings calls this is par for the course. Say what you will about his tweets, but I find these discussions fantastically informative and transparent.

Yes there is a screen for mpg/remaining but oil life is always displayed by default. If it were me I would have maybe implemented a timer on oil life so maybe you see it at startup but then it rolls to fuel stat later. But ask me why

Maybe it’s just me but I’ve never been happy with what pdb provides. My primary mode of debugging is to jump into a i python console and go line by line. If it’s django as mentioned above, I have to say I have learned so much about Django

Agreed... I know I have 39.5% oil life but I have no clue how many remaining miles of gas I have left. Thank you to Honda for messing up their trip computer in 2016... oh and the disappearing USB ports, dc ports and cup holders vs the prio

The earth to the moon is incredibly well done and it’s a crying shame you can’t get it on streaming and can only buy a 480p version on dvd.

1000% agree. Drives me nuts when they demand experience in xyz. Xyz = some SaaS or library that no one uses but would literally take anyone with a pulse an afternoon to become competent.

Electrical coops are a good solution and in many cases, there are such organizations other than the incumbents who are better suited than the city to build and run operations. I’ve been in the fiber business for a long time (though never f

It can be a good way to finance a vacation home that you eventually want to live in. There are other more niche cases such as student housing, corporate furnished, Airbnb, etc, that can be interesting, but you need to know the specifics of

I think this is logical - otherwise the assets get added to the rate base that serves as the basis for consumer pricing. It’s important to understand how the utilities play games with the rate base - in many cases things they put into the

While most of the promise of 5g feels like overhype, this article has a bit of flat earth feel to it. For example, we’ve been trying to convert obsolete UHF frequencies to usable bandwidth for years only to find all sorts of reasons why it
