Uber but it’s a co-op (there are some of these already)… really any “gig-economy company” but it’s a co-op. Really anything that undermines the status-quo employer/employee, owner/non-owner way of doing things.

There was a "Office Reopening" lunch a few weeks ago. You could come in if you wanted or you could join over zoom while the CEO did their spiel. Since I was hired remote I went hoping to meet in-person the others on the engineerin

I second this! It stands separate from the pop-Egyptology documentaries we’re so used to seeing on those science/history cable channels and YouTube recommendations. Amazing to see the whole excavation process by the people who actually

Not a lawyer but I would be interested in what neighboring states legally could do against this while remaining within the rules of the constitution. On the thinking behind this: some people believe vaccines are bad (they're not). The

Or we could burn less fossil fuels, restore forests? I think of this passage every time sun-blocking solutions are discussed: > for the fossil fuel companies and their paid champions, anything is preferable to regulating ExxonMobil, incl

This is one of the more unsympathetic and arm-chairy threads on HN I’ve seen in a while. It would appear that no one here has had an experience, tangential or otherwise, with eating disorders and are hypothesizing on it like some article on

Beware, Straussian reading largely means reading a text and making it mean anything you want it to. Your evidence is the “esoteric meaning” you uncovered. The magic of this is when someone tries to debate you using the same source you can r

Excellent post! I wonder why SIFT didn't find sufficient keypoints early on, it's typically a beast of a method for such a task. It looks like there's some intensity variation, the satellite image is darker, but I'm not

I think when watching Fridman (and other long-form interviewers) it's important to keep in mind the difference between an interview for the purpose of journalism versus for entertainment versus education. I think Fridman dances between

The Manhattan trade was unethical and the Dutch knew it[1]. The comparison is not apt, to update it: Aliens land and offer exchange of a novel metal alloy for your house and its land. They demonstrate the metal alloy has incredible sci-fi p

One time I wrote simply “bug fixes” for an app update and it got rejected because the description was too short. I changed it to something more in the lines of “bug fixes and improvements” and it got accepted. I generally like writing chang

Put it on a rocket and set it up for a 1000 year trajectory that would bring it back to Earth (or simply a local orbit that decays over a millennium). I’ve only played KSP so I’m sure there’s some impossibility in this (could a parachute la

The reception here is pretty bad and perhaps justifiably. There are some pretty scathing Glassdoor reviews that mirror the problems a lot of commenters are pointing out with this attitude. A lot of ex-employees "gave a shit" and t

Even if critical thinking is taught in school this problem wouldn't be solved. These videos pass by in feeds and people think "that looks cool" or "aww cute" and keep going. They don't open up photoshop and ana

TL;DR with a good chunk of time and maybe packing (nay, rebalancing?) the courts. In the US, even if a vaccine comes it will take several years to roll out such that we cannot immediately go back to “normal”. Given its current performance,

When it comes to distribution on the internet, no, unless the network infrastructure is owned by the commons which is very hard to do even with small portions of it. There is a great Current Affairs piece from this summer (with what looks l

I think this is a good history of the idea of creativity and how it's been appropriated by the market or the state. I'm reminded of a Vonnegut quote: > “The kick of creation is the act of creating, not anything that happens aft

This article doesn’t mention the months of protests in Mali which culminated in a coup d'état on the 18th forcing the president to resign. Yes, it’s a cool construction, it likely does serve Operation Barkhane but I think there are som

I do not, but I want to try streaming a hobby of mine and some projects around it. There is a great post[1] from about a month ago which goes over the gear and setup for a coding stream. I think with a lot of undertakings like this it'

I'm working in a large GWT codebase right now and I have this fantasy where I convert the app to Vue or React. I think React hooks would complement a lot of the current components which are table rows or data-helpers. That said I haven

Recently I've really been enjoying Vue. It feels lightweight and I feel like I have finer control over application state, flow, and UI. I like React too but I feel like the component lifecycle is a little more opaque and some bugs slip

In 2015 I spent almost a week at Arcosanti volunteering for a small music festival. It was a really weird place and not in a bad way. However, while the descriptions paint it to be some grand experiment in architecture and urban living. In
