How dare half the nation have a different political opinion than I! It's time we put their feet to the fire! /s

HN is a great place to talk tech, startups and entrepreneurship. However I'm not really interested in HN's thoughts on policy, policy making, or governance. I'd rather discuss these things who study them, are in those fields, on a forum expressly for that purpose.

Why is this horrible?

Here's a quote from another hn user robert_foss from the discussion on the Apple / Imagination Technologies thread.

'In the GPU space it is impossible to not infringe on the IP of other vendors.

In fact it is the major reason GPU vendors give for not having an open source driver. I have spoken to the CTO (Jem Davies) of ARM about the GPU drivers and open sourcing them more than once. And every time I've gotten the reply: "No, we can't, it opens us up to IP infringement suits."'

thanks for catching that :-)

just because a company like Uber can profit from it doesn't mean that a city can do it themselves for cheaper.

I think you underestimate economies of scale and the value Uber can provide, and also underestimate the cost of DIYing it and upkeep.

edit: like, especially if the town is really small and the app gets low utilization, isn't it better to pay a fixed % on top of each ride (say 50%) to uber than to have to pay someone a full time salary for a year to maintain things.

This I can get behind! Is there a name for this format?

this seems fun.

I wonder though if bringing Go or Rust bare metal onto the Pi would give you the smallest attack surface?

what is this, a 8 month old advertisement for nvidia? reads like something from a content farm.

couldn't you just verify your own alt accounts?

wow - shocking;

I wonder if anyone will move into this space instead. hoping for duck duck go or a new startup.

overall I thought fuzzing PCI-E was really interesting, I hope having the GPU's on a switch doesn't degrade performance too bad.

When they hit general availability I'll be probably running games on GCE and streaming the output to my laptop, so long as egress costs aren't too bad.

Google Cloud's GPUs are not launched if they are not in general availability.

wow -- bad news.

Intel already failed to get off of 14nm with Kaby Lake, and now they're pushing it back another cycle?

same boat; duckduckgo + safari has been working really well together. I set the custom theme to hide the search bar in the page because I just use the address bar, and bangs have been really useful.

I imagine Peter Thiel is on a small list of people that could leave YC and start an incubator on par. Probably best to keep him around.

p.s. We also never know how many individuals at YC personally hold views closer aligned with thiel or with sama or somewhere else completely who don't make a statement because they're not as bold / don't want to stick their name out.

a disability isn't a disease. and I'm not equating anything with forced government this or that.

I agree (I would never make that claim, other autists may feel differently) , and do think there should be better support systems.

Some individuals may need treatment because they have meltdowns / anti anxiety w/e but I don't think this should be framed as 'treating' or 'curing' autism. Autistic individuals may have all sorts of difficulties in their lives that need to be addressed, but the solution isn't to make those individuals not autistic.

When we talk about struggles that minorities and people of color face in American society today, you don't say let's 'treat' or 'cure' blackness -- I don't even need to explain why that's an affront.

so you are advocating for eugenics?

although you may have read in some headlines that autism is 'on the rise' and there are an increasing number of diagnoses, I think this is a misinterpretation.

statistics looks like it's on the rise because 50 years ago we didn't know what autism was, and instead we gave diagnosis like 'idiot' and 'imbecile'.

I don't think it's a stretch to say society has always had autists, maybe rather than trying to understand why autism happens energy would be better spent in trying to understand autistic individuals.

Autistic individuals don't need treatment, they need accommodation from society. (in my opinion, as an autist)

I think there's a much stronger overlap of Star Trek and the political beliefs of it's viewers than the overlap of Star Wars and and particular viewer (maybe in part because Star Wars is so much more popular, or maybe because the part of the world I live in or my experience with individuals.)

Either way, it does not do well to look towards pieces of fictions for solutions to our real world problems. Of course, if we as a planet discovered advance civilizations on other planets, we would have to re-organize our entire political structure to deal with such threats. But that's not the case, and that's not the world we live in.

Although the visual arts can offer unique and compelling perspectives (Apocalypse Now, etc) perhaps we should strive to scrutinize their work the same way a persuasive piece of writing would be.

The image loading on this site was pretty unbearable; the images loaded from the bottom up lazily and were pretty low resolution.

I ended up loading all the chapters before I read the 2nd page, so the rest of the pages would be ready for me. I don't know if the image loading was a design choice or just because of the HN traffic.

Very fascinating topic.

You can try to critique the culture of What.CD but the truth is that WCD did a better job at preserving music than a community with the express purpose of 'preserving or disseminating information' would have done.

The mindset cultivated seeders with the fear of getting kicked out if one was a bad peer / leech; ratios, bounties and freeleech items created a gamification for uploading material and seeding otherwise unpopular items for other users.

3 years experience working at local startups with Javascript technologies, just finished going back to school to formalize my education.

I agree with the general sentiment that we shouldn't hound on this thing for not being very accurate - professionals are using professional equipment, and this is more likely aimed at preppers.

I am surprised to see that they list the operating temperature from 10 to 40c - I wonder why it stops working outside those bounds or how off those bounds are. It would love to see someone to order a few of these and review them in all sorts of different tests.

When the redditor wrote "I'm calling it now. It was child porn." he didn't mean google account got removed for having Pedophilia in writing, but was suggesting that Google probably found actual child porn somewhere on this Google Account (Gmail, Drive, Blogger, Youtube, Whatever) and shut down the account.

I think the attack vector (getting ssl/tls keys) the government was going after was a surprise. I had thought they would have requested access to the servers.

What type of game are you looking for? Do you believe there's a untapped market?
