Interesting:

> Fipronil is one of the main chemical causes blamed for the spread of colony collapse disorder among bees

I think 60% over a kilometer is the best efficiency thus far.

What is the "typically" you are referencing?

A real-life Hammer of Dawn (gears of war)

Really though I don't see this scaling to energy production for the masses due to the beaming logistics.

It'll mainly be used to recharge drones that never land and possibly fry enemy systems / missiles / etc.

> Corollary 1: rushed insistence on shipping

This one is an epidemic and the worst one. Shipping just to ship.

> Corollary 4: isolation

I disagree with the isolation part, that's subjective. I work better with no human contact, even for long extended times. Humans are distracting, that's why I prefer working at late at night. I assume people are on a spectrum of how much "isolation" is optimal for them.

I'm not specifically talking about code quality, but usually that goes hand in hand with the product. An engineer that makes quality code will usually also care about the product quality overall as well. Good code quality makes that quality product maintainable and fun to work in.

That being said, your product's traits are phenotypes of your code design. Its performance characteristics, its capable features, how it scales, everything is intertwined. Involve your developers more in the product planning, don't try to plan it for them and just hand them a spec. I've seen too many "product managers" and officers try to be engineers... That's like a real estate tycoon making blueprints for an architect.

You will probably fail if you want to "do high quality code later" as your product will be shit because it's DNA is trash.

And yes, you are trying to persuade yourself, you should be user #1 and your ultimate fan.

Find a problem you have or recognize, and develop a solution you believe in.

Others can barely even recognize there is a problem in the first place, let alone find the optimal solution.

You can listen to others for minor adjustments after the fact, but your product vision is solely on you.

> The MS monopoly is preventing progress in many fields.

I fail to see this. Could you provide examples and reasonings?

At least in the developer community they've provided many tools that facilitate a lot of progress.

- TypeScript (huge boost for the JS community)

- VSCode (massive contribution for all developers)

- Monaco (allows any website/app to provide a quality code editor)

- LSP (allows other code editors to compete with VSCode)

- Playwright (got rid of the puppeteer Chrome-only browser testing lock-in)

- WSL (I mean... Linux support, nuff said.)

- RNW (boosts react native, helping break down the app walled garden development, no need for Swift/Kotlin/whatever)

I'm sure there's a lot more I missed.

I disagree. Users generally have no idea what they want, especially related to novel things.

If you waste time listening to the masses and have no initial vision of your own you'll end up with a Frankenstein project.

Build something great and they will come.

Ah I see. So the data that FB collected was leaked to 3rd parties because of the systems they put in place exposed it. That's not much better.

The end result was the same, and it let to a wave of privacy resulting in Apple locking down their app permissions further, and FB throwing a fit about it.

If you're leasing it from them, you're not the owner, they are.

The whole privacy thing started because of FB selling user data to Cambridge Analytica and it getting leaked.

> Just because you have a good experience, doesn’t mean everyone will.

So you stereotype, generalize, and assume the worse just in case your pre-judgement is right?

> There’s plenty of history in America to defend the assumption that minorities will have a worse experience in rural towns.

And what is that? What in "history" specifically makes you think people in rural towns are worse than people in cities?

Either way, that's not a good excuse to stereotype people. I don't think every person in the city is a gangster or a mobster because of cities bad history of them.

> You seem to live in a very diverse town which is great. That’s not most towns in America.

You have no idea what you are talking about, many towns are very diverse.

> means some amount of trouble if you're non religious, non white, or non heterosexual.

No it doesn't. Stop generalizing and stereotyping. From my experience people in small towns are nicer than people in cities, regardless of race or whatever. The small town I grew up in was 1/3rd hispanic, 1/3rd black, 1/3rd white and everyone got along. Don't believe what the media tries to racebait you with.

> Problem with cities isn't overpopulation, it's housing. People want to live there but there isn't enough accommodations, and there totally could be if zoning and infrastructure were properly prioritized.

Yes, zoning is somewhat the issue, in the fact that stores and restaurants should be more distributed. But many cities have plenty of apt buildings and short of squeezing people in smaller boxes, there's not much you can do. Also people shouldn't live in small boxes.

I fail to see how cars are the problem since cities like Tokyo function with similar road layouts and hardly any pedestrian-only roads. (Source: I'm temporarily living in Tokyo right now)

Tokyo is extremely overcrowded, but its services and zoning are somewhat able to handle it, if you're okay with living in a 100sqm box and being squeezed into the train like a sardine and shove through the sidewalks / crossings during rush hour.

There's a reason why the Japanese government is always trying to incentivize people to move out to it's rural areas.

That being said, American cities cannot even handle a fraction of those population levels. It's not the cars that are the problem, it's the mismanagement of public resources and city planning that leads to lack of GOOD public transportation and zoning.

So until those US city leaders can figure out their shit, I'd suggest living in a small town, it has the wishlist everyone is always wanting here. Walkable end-to-end, bikeable, co-ops, fresh air, etc. Luckily we already did the hard work to connect these towns together and we have a LOT of land.

Or just live in a small town where all of your friends and needs are 5 minutes away.

I see no point to overpopulated cities with remote work so prevalent nowadays.

Cars aren't the problem, overpopulated cities are.

I can walk my town end to end in 15 minutes, there's a coop, grocery store, hospital, entertainment, etc. You can drive to another town if you want, or drive and park anywhere without paying, or walk, or bike. This is common for most small towns that I know of.

Could you link the article please?

My point was to remind everyone of the system we have, innocent until proven guilty by a jury of their peers, not by journalists.

When do road workers get called into diffusing situations where they have to think quickly to save another life?

> but I would say the odds

Yes, you are still assuming the odds currently.

Innocent until proven guilty is the setup of the system.

Legal protections but not physical protections right?

The videos I showed were officers confronted by people attacking them while doing a routine patrol.

Similar to a fireman running into a fire to save people, officers have to run into a high risk situation to diffuse it. Such as a person calling 911 against an aggressor (ie, someone robbing them, assaulting them, etc.)

You are speaking for the OP, but you've expanded far beyond what they have stated.

Hyper is their protocol and I assumed they derived it from HTTP.

> Hypercore also includes a new URL scheme, hyper://, for referencing any Hypercore-based data structure. As Hypercores declare their data structure, this URL scheme can be used for a wide variety of use-cases. This URL scheme can improve interoperability among applications by providing flexible and modular access to hypercore directly.

All of their technology is based off of their hyper protocol.

But my point is that I don't really see the need to nazi people's nomenclature.

You could just, ya'know, discuss the tech itself...

What is your point?

How many uses of a prefix can the industry have before it meets your requirement of having to move on?

1, 2, 3, 5?

IMO people can name things whatever they want and can legally and people will remember whatever they need to.

Read the rest of the thread.

Maybe HyperApp should trademark hyper, oh wait they weren't before hypertext/protocol and HN doesn't like copyright :)

I guess we would look at who was "first", but do you know who was?

Or is it a weight of first and most popular? How is "popular" determined?

Oh dang, this is getting tricky isn't it?

I wish you weren't forced to self censor yourself, it was correct.

But the company who made this is also making the technologies in the project...

Holepunchto is the company behind hyperprotocol, hypershell, hyperdrive, etc.

So what's the lesson now?

From what I saw no-one was assuming on the specific event, but it was a fuel to let loose the stories of crime that many SF residents experienced and wanted to vent.

But yes, ideally we don't ever assume, sure. But don't let that distract from actual problems that people vocalized.

And let's also remember that this is a SUSPECT, so we are still assuming to this moment.

I don't think that's the point of GP's statement "This is not borne out by the evidence - it's propaganda."

But to your point, I also respect truck drivers (that can do their job properly) just as I respect police officers (who can also do their job properly). Not all truck drivers and police officers are created equal amongst their peers, they are human, some specific humans with more faults than others.

No-one said it was the most dangerous job, they are saying they put their lives on the line. Which they do.

You don't know which traffic stop or interaction could be your last...

I'm glad I work in tech instead of being a cop or a soldier, or a fireman, or a trucker, or an underwater welder, etc.

I appreciate these people.

GP didn't said it was the "most" dangerous job, they said they were putting their lives on the line.

Yes there are many jobs that people do that. It's definitely up there in dangerous jobs though.

It's a simple fact. Police are called to high risk situations all the time. Even traffic stops:

Do you dispute that?

I don't think anyone said it was a "random crazed homeless" attack for sure.

They just started sharing their stories about crime in San Fransisco from what I saw.

The clarification of this specific event doesn't negate the recounts of others in the related issue of crime.

Well for this project, it uses technology from the hypercore protocol (formerly known as DAT).

Everyone who doesn't agree with me is a fascist!

I think you may want to look at history who confiscates guns.
