We're building a small, fast semiconductor fab and we are bringing up a bunch of very interesting devices. Please apply if you have experience going 0 -> 1 on embedded systems!
What are you working on?
What do you know about this topic? How much can nuclear ramp up and down to follow demand?
So it’d be mostly solved over a 5 year period….?!?’
So what were the terms? Sort of pointless to write an article and say you were the good guy without saying.
What is the difference between the two?
What happened in 2008? I was very young then so I don’t know.
What? I was on keto for months and consumed copious amounts of these. No spike for MONTHS on end. Does your statement come with qualifiers or is that just straight up misinformation?
Not always. People thought Facebook had an insane seed valuation. Google was “very expensive” upon IPO.
Paul, it’s a bad article. Your arguments don’t make sense and are mostly strawmen. If you want to improve it, show it to someone in real life and have them talk over it with you. You’ll probably get a lot farther than a few sentences of feedback over the internet. But it’s really bad.
But he was doing that daily at Meta, and it still took 6 months for things to happen!
Empirically, it doesn't really correlate
materials
They're all printed from the same wafers.
labor
It's not like manual laborers are sitting there carving these things by hand. We program computers to do it.
Reprogramming and setting up the hardware for multiple SKUs increases cost, paradoxically
What did you link us? Electrical failures that cost a couple of million? One exposure with 1/40 of the annual limit?
Lol so dirty
What I took it as was “the first protects Green’s right to republish on GitHub [from government censorship].” Of course the first does not compel GitHub to allow him to do anything on their servers, but it does protect what both parties consented to do from government censorship.
I believe there is a company to be built here.
Yes, and we don't apply them to some companies for a reason.
We call these businesses natural monopolies and regulate them. Like forcing them to serve everyone or cap their profits.
Biological half life is the more important figure here, by the way, and it’s very short (less than a month)
This is a good article, but the author should move to Toronto.
I agree with your point generally, but this is project management software we are talking here. It’s not like this is a year old product you’re betting on. Dude even Asana has been out for like 10 years.
I will state this plainly. It’s laziness. He knows how to use Jira and doesn’t want to spend time learning a new tool. There is no risk involved with these anymore. It’s not a risk, it’s effort.
Using Jira is a form of organizational debt. He didn’t want to put in the work up front to set up something better because he knew Jira already, which is fine. But everyone on the engineering team pays the price every day now because Jira is awful. You have to decide, is it worth spending 10 hours on the weekend learning Linear or do I make my whole organization suffer? He chose the former. But it’s not a risk mitigation thing. It’s a time trade-off thing.
Mods, could we remove this? There isn't really any proof this the title is true, and there's actually quite some evidence that it's not.
TSMC is worth $500B alone for a reason. To say it'd cost 10s of billions is a pretty crazy idea
I wonder what it is about hacker news that brings out this incessant negativity in people. Have you considered that:
- This product might only be a couple of months old and they have bigger plans for it over the next year?
- The founders don't have all the answers and they're learning just as much as we are right now?
- Even though YOU might not see enough value to warrant the price tag, there might be people (or businesses) who do?
Maybe you just can't empathize because you haven't build something from 0 -> 1 yet. I am the same age as you but I have failed building a couple of things before, where it looks like you have had a bunch of jobs. I don't cast scorn on people who are early on building things, because I've been in their shoes. Maybe you're right and there's nothing here. Or maybe in two years, their browser is miles ahead of the extension you're referring to.
tell me one thing that this browser achieves that isn't already available through free, open-source, trustworthy extensions whose code I can see and audit.
They don't have to tell you anything. Go use your browser extension. You aren't the market.
I think I've had to login to Discord probably twice over the last four years
You can definitely make seitan in your kitchen, I am not disagreeing with anything you're saying though.
Yes I agree. It isn't really that Spark killed Hadoop but S3/GCS made managing Hadoops clusters pointless. Spark plays well with the storage ecosystem so it's thriving now. But my whole point is that it seems unlikely to me that Cloudera would just become a compute company if they had invested more into Spark. The core thing they were selling became less and less important over time. That was the problem
WDYM? They were the Hadoop company. You can't just become the Spark company, the philosophies of the products are very different. This comment is pretty silly.
The "only" stumble I can identify is that they're selling a last-generation solution and most companies see Hadoop as tech debt nowadays. Which is to say, it's a systemic issue with their entire product, not a tiny mistake. This is like Mesos vs Kubernetes. One got squashed.
Perhaps. As someone who travels relatively infrequently, I'm pretty price insensitive. Like I'm traveling. Who cares if one of those locations is 20% cheaper? I wonder of many people are like me. I doubt that people are very price sensitive when visiting landmark cities.
So cute
It does suck that you can't read them, but they haven't converted them to pictures. Instead they're screenshots of the opening screens which have commonly have slight differences in presentation. As a person who can see I quite liked seeing how the title card text evolved as the show progressed.
But yea, it does suck that there is no accessible alt text.
