News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I'm not sure this is entirely true, I see reports that this has more to do with data sourcing and opacity of shareholders[0]. The Kentucky Teachers Retirement fund seems to be one of the largest shareholders who have opted to self-report to Nasdaq. Still interesting, and with this perhaps more so for HN ;)

Re:Why Electric Airplanes Face Such a Tough Haul [video] on Tuesday December 28, 2021 @12:02AM (#29710614)
Thanks for the clarification!
Well written article. The drawbacks to active investing mentioned mirror my own experience. I ended up with a constant nagging in my head to know how the market was doing. Since moving back to a buy and hold strategy I feel happier and more focussed on the rest of my life.

It is my understanding that fuel composition is a part of engine approval, and it is similar to authorizing a new part if you are using a new fuel. [1] It seems the FAA only recently approved the use of unleaded gasoline for a large number of engines! [2] So while bio-fuel based fuels would be great, there does seem to be some significant, and I think reasonable, bureaucracy in the way of that happening.

That does sound interesting! It's a bit outside my wheelhouse, but I'm looking for a new project. Feel free to send me an email (in bio) if you want to chat about this more.
Re:Bitwarden releases “emergency access” feature on Thursday January 21, 2021 @03:47PM (#25864031)
Nice! I was already satisfied using Bitwarden, and now I will no longer have to manually manage my ICE backup.

In the past I've kept an offline copy of my 'vault' on a few USB keys in a safe deposit, for my family in case of death or similar. I'm curious how others have solved this problem.

Re:Where the missing middle of housing isn't missing on Wednesday August 12, 2020 @04:03PM (#24136215)
In some areas that is not allowed due to zoning laws. Boulder CO for example limits household sizes to 3 or 4 unrelated people depending on location. Family homes are often over $3000/mo making affordable housing difficult to find.

Cool site. Thanks for making/sharing.

It would be cool to see your timeline with a site like https://freespoke.com/?q=Capitol%20Hill%20Autonomous%20Zone&...

Yes, it will also use a known good version of wine for a particular game. Switching versions manually to find one that worked for old or newer games had been a headache; that work is now done by proton.
Re:The missing semester of CS education on Monday February 03, 2020 @09:31PM (#22231791)
I just graduated from University of Colorado Boulder this last semester with a CS degree, and am glad to say that this was a required course. It was a 3000 level course called Software Development that also incorporated a long form group project for team cooperation skills. It definitely helped me to improve my efficiency and organization when working on projects. Teaching thoughtfulness in designing not only a solution, but a work environment, is an important lesson.
No, this violates current UCI rules.

"The front wheel shall be steerable; the rear wheel shall be driven through a system comprising pedals and a chain"

However, the rules do change and have been recently (like the removal of the 3:1 restriction).

The book this is from, Radical Markets[0], provides a unique perspective and is worth a read. It contains some very creative solutions to real problems and helped me to realize how small the box is for current policy debates.

Re:Buy Yourself a Latte on Friday April 05, 2019 @01:14PM (#19584769)
I agree entirely. I've changed my routine to avoid coffee shops in the morning, and make coffee at home with nice beans. I've come to enjoy the quiet process each morning, reading news while waiting for the water to boil, and it has definitely been saving me a significant amount of money each month.

I have experienced similar issues with recruiters. Going so far as to decline interviews with those companies.

Also, 'boiling' at the cabin pressure is not quite normal boiling.
Re:Google calls ‘time’ on the Pixel laptop on Wednesday March 01, 2017 @02:48PM (#13767565)
From the title I was genuinely wondering if this was about a novel system time usage, or if they were killing the whole thing. Kind of a strange phrasing.
