Go to Vietnam and every business, even the teeny-tiny mom-and-pop restaurants run out of a street facing living room, will offer free wifi. It was truly an amazing experience being able to expect wifi everywhere I went.

And yes, they had passwords and offered secure wifi. You just had to ask for the the password if they didn't already have it displayed somehow. Working remotely, it was glorious.

It put into perspective how much the US's focus on individualization removes the warm feeling of camaraderie.

Edit: I love when I get downvoted with no comment replies. Real gutsy dispute there.

He eventually quotes someone as:

“It’s an approach to problem-solving based on a few easy-to-grasp principles that sound obvious:‘Show Don’t Tell,’ ‘Focus on Human Values,’ ‘Craft Clarity,’ ‘Embrace Experimentation,’ ‘Mindful of Process,’ ‘Bias Toward Action,’ and ‘Radical Collaboration.’”

All of those are pretty sound principals proven to be effective by most innovators though. Screaming at people is easier than actually learning to be effective, and I suspect is the root of his outrage.

Yikes. I had to dig deep to read that rant. Ultimately, the best definition in the article defines Design Thinking as such:

> “It’s an approach to problem-solving based on a few easy-to-grasp principles that sound obvious: - ‘Show Don’t Tell,’ - ‘Focus on Human Values,’ - ‘Craft Clarity,’ - ‘Embrace Experimentation,’ - ‘Mindful of Process,’ - ‘Bias Toward Action,’ and - ‘Radical Collaboration.’”

I'm not really sure why he is ranting though - these are the principals espoused by some of the most successful VC's, founders, and world renowned Architects.

Does anyone understand why he is so angry?

it's a feature, not a bug. The lousiness of it is it's main selling point. For instance, sortings by low ratings and ordering from most recent is a trivial SQL query, but if they unleashed that then it would be much harder to hide the negative reviews. A good portion of that $300MM revenue is from the ability to hide the negative reviews. Hence, the lousy interface is a money making feature. You can build the competition with a better UI, but you won't get the revenue.

i think you can buy an equivalent prefab home these days for about $125k. A bit of inflation over $84k, but not approachable. But the appreciation formula for such types of houses hasn't changed - still lower than traditional stick or stone.

the article is gone

do you want a helm chart for this? the "requirements" page scares me, although I suspect this whole thing could be launched with a docker-compose / helm deploy very easily.

Interesting that the leaked memo from Google on the front page of HN credited the release of LLaMA as the impetus to the open source community advancements in language learning outpacing any possible closed-source moat they could have.

It seems the White House, regardless of who's in office, likes to snub the current technology leaders in a space, like when Musk wasn't invited to talk about electric cars and automobiles.

any data sources? or just wishful thinking?

after checking i'm a human, it sent me to something for link shortening? idk, it made no sense, sorry.

I wish the code convention closed brackets in line with the opening brackets rather than at the end of some random line of code. My ADHD/autistic brain does not like the imbalance.

in case your comments get flagged and removed, i just want you to know someone appreciated your humor. Technically speaking though, humor is not allowed on hacker news, it's litterally in the TOS....and I only know that from many flags of my own.

I wish Ian Henry (the author) wrote all of my technical books. He is both whimsical, but also to the point.

I don't think i'm the biggest fan of Janet, but I really appreciate his writing and may just read the whole book anyways.

can you fire the asshole please though? thanks.

But those unused gym subscriptions subsidize the gym membership i do use. Please don't take that stimulus away.

The banks which supported fake money as real money were not very good at managing real money. Well call me a nanny's uncle.

I'm just besides myself. With laughter.

From the article:

> You could say, “well, it’s not designed to be a Machine Learning trainer” > to which I say, then stop marketing the super duper AI chip.

in a way, he's genius. that probably boosted your overall productivity by 5% for a fraction of the cost.

which one is that?

The specs show it as .11 efficiency, and normal panels are about .22, so like litterally 1/2. That's pretty darn good for being visually appealing.

Aside from the caveat that Samsung's device kicked the hell out of iPhone on MULTI core benchmarks - you know, the ones that matter if your doing anything modern with your phone, like playing 3d games and video editing for the 'tok.

But sure, it is leaps and bounds ahead of that task no one really cares about.

I think "An education platform for Compilers, Risk-V emulation and hypervisor" would be more accurate and would draw the right crowd.

You turn down 90% of the men who ask, with a relatively large sample of 120 men....so are you saying 90% of men are dishonest and unkind? No offences, but you and your friends may be misjudging people.

Based on who you have said you dated, I agree with you that the issue isn't the height of your standard, but it may be with the measuring tools your using to guage them.

A new date every week for two years....doesn't really seem like she really got the chance to know any of them at that rate.

So he complimented you, and you twisted it such that he implied you're a whore instead?

Interesting.

"smart enough"...after reading a lot of your replies, I get the sense this is biggest blocker. It seems you run a startup, so your looking for equal to that? Do you realize how rare that is?

If I'm right about running a startup, or something of that nature of leadership, you may want to consider looking for someone that's funny and interesting, rather than smart. If you look at your male counterparts who have found marriage success, I bet you will find plenty of un-equall 'intelligence', measured by their achievements anyway. But this doesn't make them bad partners, often it makes even better actually.

It's not too often you find doctor couples, that's all I'm saying.

Off topic, but, cdk-tf is useless because it doesn't have a data layer. It gives you the power to write real code, but with no vars to utilize. It's rubbish.

Anyone who thinks 2022 is going to have a downturn is mistaken, IMHO.

Foreclosure moratorium + low interest rates + rising home values (aka, equity) gave most folks whom would be in the rears a chance to refinance. Only true deadbeats whom didn't work are going to go nuts up, and since the labor market is tight, there are few of those. Aka, housing will not resolve.

Many businesses have already started raising wages. When the unemployment boosters stop, people are still going to want a living wage, and there will remain competition to do so. The labor shortage will not resolve.

All the science on Delta variant clearly spells out a longer 'covid life' outcome, anyone whom says we need more data is being ignorant. COVID will not resolve.

We're not the only country dumping money into the streets, and with China doing well, they love buying American stocks. Along with the rest of the world. That's a ton of money entering the market. There will not be a correction.

Unfortunately, Bitcoin will also rise. There's no incentive for the whales to bail out now, especially as miners are finding energy at true wholesale cost or cheaper. It does make it more resilient. As much as I hate Bitcoin, it too is going to be benefit.

I'm not saying there will never be a correction, but it's not going to be in early 22, and I still doubt late 22 as well. You heard it here first.

I almost never want to sign up for a product before I can actually see a demo and/or screenshots. Consider creating a YouTube video with the actual app.

ULPT, but I like it.
