ry4n413··on Tesla Cybertruck
Ever since that cement bridge collapsed at Florida International University a few months ago on top of cars, I've been wondering if any type of car could withstand the force of such a scenario.

Anyone know if this truck could withstand the scenario? Hopefully someone smart with the Physics or Engineering can help me out with an answer.

ry4n413··on The rough transcript is devastating. How could Trump not know that?
So dishonest..

“I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike … I guess you have one of your wealthy people … The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.”

IMO, market is down because of increase discount rate (risk), not a decrease in earnings (fundamentals)

ry4n413··on Floyd Mayweather, DJ Khaled Settle with SEC in Cryptocurrency Probe
I don't follow Crypto very closely (my background is Investment Management aka Finance), but I saw HackerNoon banner that says "Own Shares in Hacker news" then looked at SEC definition of security, and honestly it really baffled me how an ICO wasn't being regulated by SEC. I'm guessing because it's a "new technology" and that the SEC has been slow to react.

Anyways, I am curious if anyone thinks that some of the recent drop in Cryptos is due to SEC crackdown in ICO's?

Thank you

ry4n413··on Coders Automating Their Own Job
Yep, I started a consulting venture ~2 years ago. Funny enough, the guy who "let me go" also said I should start a consulting business.

ry4n413··on Coders Automating Their Own Job
I work in Finance/Investment Industry and was "let go" from one of the companies I worked at because I automated a large portion of my job (among other things). I even wrote an instruction manual for the entire process (not knowing that I could/would be let go). They ended up replacing me with a guy who didn't know how to program, but had 20 years of experience. Live and learn.

ry4n413··on Why It Might Be a Good Time to Revisit Ray Dalio’s 1937 Analog
what was interesting was trump's comment the other day regarding paying down the debt using the gained taxes in gdp growth. I haven't done the math myself, but it's an interesting scenario to thing through if it's possible because I don't think it's one that many people are thinking about.
ry4n413··on 2019 will see DRAM oversupply say industry sources
fair point, should have linked to original article: https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20180725PD213.html

Taiwan's DigiTimes reports that "recent [DRAM] capacity ramps by Micron Technology and the planned kick-off of commercial production by China-based Fujian Jin Hua Integrated Circuit and Innotron Memory could lead to oversupply for the memory in 2019".

Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

ry4n413··on If Github ends up selling itself one day, Microsoft will be the buyer (2014)
I think the data. The thing about the linkedin acq that I always come back to is that MSFT now knows the technology stack of almost every company in the world. You can do a lot with this information including help guide strategic decisions like new products or new markets, etc.

linkedin employees say microsoft has largely left them alone since acquiring them, so i'm going to assume they will do the same thing with github.

ry4n413··on Tesla stock falls 12% after NTSB announces fatal crash investigation
The downgrade by Moody's is why the stock is down as much as it is, imo, as it immediately impacts the discount rate (aka cost of capital) and makes it more expensive for TSLA to borrow money. The impact of the investigation on TSLA's future growth/financials doesn't seem quantifiable right now.

ry4n413··on Ask HN: Why use Linux for coding?
I've been "coding" full-time for two years now and I use Windows as primary operating system, the biggest issue/pains that I've experienced is:

1) Most of the tutorials online are written for linux 2) installing dependencies on windows is a bitch sometimes (75% of time I can get stuff to work on windows other times I give up because of lack of availability of certain packages and compiling issues).

It's my opinion that you will eventually need to learn how to operate in linux, so what I'd recommend you do to help with learning: - Install Hyper-V if you have Windows Professional, this way you can install various linux distros (start with ubuntu, then debian, then centos possibly). - install Bash for Windows - install docker for windows
