First off, this is only for homes sold in the first 3 months which based on the extremely limited data I've looked at[1] seems to meaningfully below the total number of homes sold. With that said, this is still way more than I expected, I probably would have guessed closer to 2.7% than 27%.

Edit: Oh nevermind, they included individuals owning 1-99 houses buying rental properties as investors making institutional investors more like 2.2% (of the 27%) much more in line with what I would have guessed.

Mounjaro uses a single use fully autometed injector--clean your skin, remove the cap, press the injector against your skin, then press a button. A springloaded needle penetrates you skin and a spring loaded plunger injects the medicine. You have no way to pull backthe plunger to see if you are in a vein/artery.

I've never used Ozempic, but my understanding was it used a device similar to insulin pens--dial you dosage, attach needle, insert needle, press at the base of the pen to inject the selected amount. Also no way to pull back to see if you hit a vein/artery.

Funny that they use robots and outsource factories to third-world nations, and the price is still too expensive.

My wife likes new cars, just got a Mazda 2025 with 1.9% interest, 2023 model is only a few hundred bucks cheaper but 8.9% interest. Cheaper to buy the new model and get warranty and service. My wife is a nurse and can afford it.

>Completely agree. For all the hate Mozilla gets on HN, I’ve been using Firefox every day

Completely agree, Mozilla and Chrom is a lot like a president election, they both suck hard, you're kinda stuck choosing the lesser of two evils. I mean Kamala isn't great, but me, as a dainty woman who happens to have a penis and does not happen to have documentation surrounding my residency in the US, Kamala isn't so bad in comparison! Kamala is firefox.

No, if you don't want people to read every post put out there, do not make them public. There is no use in thinking someone is a jerk if you willingly allow them to do so, i.e., if they're an ex, why would or should they have access to your page in the first place? If you hadn't blocked them or removed them, then, again, it's your fault, as I stated initially.

Do not expect privacy in a public forum, it is simply not how the world works and thinking otherwise just sets you up for disappointment, or even worse, actual harm (say, a stalker seeing your complete address because you did not deign to make that information private). I really don't get why people argue about this concept, the solution is literally right there to fix but it seems that people perform mental gymnastics to not fix the root issue but instead call it a host of names like "creepy," an "expectation" of being "inappropriate," "being a jerk," a "moral issue," or "unethical." No, just fix the damn problem once and for all and be done with it.

I’m really excited about the concept of an open-source alternative to CapCut. However, the current state of the project is far from being as user-friendly as CapCut, which is one of my favorite video editors on Windows. The requirement to install Bun, Docker, Docker Compose, and Node.js as prerequisites will likely deter most casual desktop CapCut users from even trying it out. I’m hopeful that with continued development and community support, this new project can evolve into a truly accessible and powerful alternative to CapCut. There’s a lot of potential here, and I’m excited to see where it goes!

Do you do regular backups? If your backup system breaks and stop making new backups, what will let you know? What if your RAID is failing, running out of space, remounted read-only after an error?

I have found that "machine is online" is usually not what I need monitoring for, at all. I'll notice if it's down. It's all the mission-critical-but-silently-breakables that I bother to monitor.

Overall, I agree - it would take far more sophisticated and deterministic or 'logical' AI better capable of tracking constraints, knowing what to check and double check, etc... Right now, AI is far too scattered to pull that off (or, for the stuff that isn't scattered, it's largely just incapable), but a lot of smart people are thinking about it.

Imagine if...nevermind.

This is actually a pretty sound framework and I mostly agree. Usually it's justifiable to intervene when somebody is harming someone else and not before. I think it's a bit oversimplified, though. Do you think it might contribute to the incel epidemic and the associated violence? In that sense one could make a similar line of argument to that of the temperance movement's talk of alcohol contributing to wife-beating (which it did). I don't believe that indirection leaves a clear enough link to justify state violence to ban something, but there do exist less explicitly moralistic arguments for it. Not really my position but it's not constructive to reduce every criticism to "moralizing".

That's good advice, which is irrelevant to the discussion of why people feel the way they do. I don't think we actually disagree on anything. I think you understand what I'm saying but would prefer to use my comments as a launchpad to express judgments about social media users than to discuss the why, and I just have no interest in that.

I took "confusion" in the original comment to mean "I'm curious why this is." You seem to be saying you "don't get it" to mean that they're stupid for making different decisions about the cost versus benefit of social media use, or for wanting to reduce that cost. Again, just not something I'm interested in discussing further.

Honestly, the result of it is highly beneficial to Google.

Like it or not, that's the end result. Hacking on a chromium browser doesn't de-googleify the internet, it deepens the moat.

Did we forget the old joke?

There's two types of programs: - Those with bugs - Those that nobody uses

We can both hold Mozilla to a high starved AND recognize that they're the only serious alternative to Chrome. We can criticize things while being happy they exist. Criticism is about making things better. We're engineers, so it should be easy to find faults. That's the first step to fixing things! But the criticisms of Firefox have just become a cliché. I guarantee 90+% of people will not notice differences in speed, battery life, or anything else like that. Mostly the differences are cosmetic.

Do we really want to hate on Mozilla so much that we'd lick the big boot just out of spite? I have plenty of problems with how Mozilla has handled many issues, but it's laughable to compare these to Google or Microsoft. Seriously, WTF

Hmmn... I think it really depends on what you call "service discovery", but I'd note that k8s doesn't give you something as complicated as Consul either -- by default, you get DNS & IP networking for service discovery, which Incus also supports.

If you mean service discovery as in being able to use the k8s API (ex. to find service manually) from inside your application, then incus allows for that too..

Maybe the key difference you're pointing at here is that Incus does not give you one huge network (where by default everything is routable), so you have to set up your own bridge networks:

https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/docs/main/explanation/netw...

https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/docs/main/reference/networ...

I could definitely agree here that Incus is more unencumbered in this respect

This will be interesting news to the insurance company I co-founded :) :) :)

This boils down to semantics, but most consumers feel like they're "using" their insurance plan only when they file a claim.

I agree we can't know for sure. But I think it's a mistake to shrug it off and assume the fact it was the Post Office had nothing to do with how it played out.

My first and only time playing Asteroids in its original vector CRT glory was a bit shocking to me. I remember the evolution of CRTs in the 80s and 90s. My family had a small B&W CRT that fascinated me with its image quality, in that it always reminded me more of a b&w photo than color CRTs reminded me of color photos.

Still, that vector CRT that I saw perhaps a dozen years ago was quite a surprise. Lack of rastering and the utterly insane brightness sent me down a rabbit hole. I ultimately concluded I'm not ever likely to own a basement Asteroids cabinet.

>The new nobility will not give this up willingly.

It's not just the nobility, it's also the Australian economic system itself. Australia's GDP is built on asset inflation and the housing market - I find numbers between 10% to 25% of Australia's GDP being based on housing.

If the Australian government stops the boomer money train they might crash the GDP, which in turn will negatively affect Australia's borrowing capacity, which will negatively impact (crash?) the economy.

Edit: the obvious solution is to diversify Australia's economy, away from digging holes and building houses. Economists have been shouting this from the roof-tops for years now and I have seen little political will to actually make this happen, the easy-money-train is just too good.

I don't think vibe coding replaces website builders. There is value for non-tech-savvy small business owners to be able to update their websites as WYSIWYG drag-and-drop and deploy without ever having to figure out how to deploy their app through v0, Replit, etc.

I run my blog digitalseams.com and personal site bobbiechen.com (as well as my parents' small business site) through Squarespace even though I have the full-stack skills to do it myself. There's just other things I'd rather spend my time on (though to be fair, I'm also fond of Squarespace as I was an intern there).

The ozone layer won't be "recovered" for about a century, assuming everyone plays nicely[1]. It is still diminished from CFCs, and we're still being bombarded with more UV than previously.

All mature markets eventually end up with 3-5 competitors dominating the market. I don't really see this as an issue.

I also disagree that it's a net negative. Technology adds convenience to these markets and as long as the government isn't price-fixing through strict regulations, we also end up with better prices.

We've seen some of the prices increase after the government decided to regulate the hotel markets. They forced many people to stop renting out their places through sites like Airbnb and now the hotels are free to increase prices accordingly.

If it weren't for Uber and Lyft, the Taxi cab unions would have gladly monopolized the industry charging workers $1,000,000+ for a medallion and not keeping up with technology (Taxis were still hailed in person or ordered on the phone before the tech companies decided to compete).

> Then we have to start talking about function colouring in a whole bunch of new contexts like with Zigs explicit passing of allocator.

That's pretty much where we are though. If you have a function that isn't passed an allocator, and now it needs to call a function that does take an allocator, we're in the same place.

Rust's 'async' keyword changes the type of the return value, but you can just write the different return value yourself; it's 'coloured' purely by what it means to be returning a 'Future'.

Agreed. Basically, intelligence doesn't transfer from one task to another in a straightforward manner, unfortunately. More gravely, people can find ways to self-censor that are very powerful and very unfortunate (i.e. fooling yourself).

Also, I don't really like to portray people as evil. That tends to dehumanize them and try to separate them into something entirely different, and something distant. Much has been said about this post-WWII, and I agree. Those are people like us, just from a different psycho-social background, which could have been our own; and there is always the possibility of change, if not from leaders from followers. To me the greatest danger of claiming evil is when you stop (or try to get people to stop) thinking there; when you try to find the exact source of harm and carefully explain your reasoning, that's less bad. I didn't know what else to write instead...

I don't see how you're responding to the parent's comment. You seem to be exemplifying it tbh.

The parent isn't saying Firefox and Mozilla are without problems. In fact, they actively recognized them! So I'm not sure why you respond as if they don't.

The parent is saying that the complaints are often used as social signaling. The fact that this happens makes it harder to address legitimate issues. Which Mozilla, without a doubt, has issues.

The result of all this is very apparent: it helps Google. You can even think Mozilla is evil, but you have to ask: is Mozilla more evil than Google? It's hard to argue yes. Frankly, they don't even have the capacity to do as much harm
Feedback on AI Plugin Concept

This is a classic fallacy trotted out every time someone suggests taxing the rich/corporations/landlords more.

"Oh, you can't do that, they'll just pass on the costs to consumers and keep their margins the same! Really, when you raise taxes on the wealthy, the only people you're hurting are the little people!!"

But evidence doesn't bear that out. Real economics are more complex than that, and especially given how things are right now, people can't afford more expensive homes, so trying to pass on additional costs is going to sharply reduce your available market.

I’ll often buy a game (esp an Indie game) and just not have time to play it. I don’t have a ton of free time, so if a game doesn’t immediately draw me in and keep my attention, I don’t play it. I think that’s pretty common.

I’ll also buy games on a whim and never get much past the title screen.

I have more money than time these days. But when I was younger I had more time than money. So I’d pirate games. This is kind of my way of atoning.

> Something very strange happened in the last 20 years.

Tech companies discovered that the most profitable position to be in was global middleman, at a scale previously impossible before everything was connected by the internet. They undercut a given market until all the alternatives become financially non-viable and then start hoovering up all the margins from both sides (producer and consumer) of the deal.

This is so fucking obnoxious. There is no misreading. There is not misunderstanding. Any attempt to spin this as even in part a failure of the reader is so rude.

The title is nonsense. Nobody is misreading it, the author was either willfully misleading for clicks (eww) or was just ignorant (excusable, but they need to own it).

…the CMS doesn’t let them edit it? What nonsense is this.

Exactly, like for instance I've been sick for 4 weeks until last week, like terribly, fever, throat pain, red eye lids, tiredness. Completely dead, just sleeping whole weekends. At some point I broke up with my gf (bit related, bit unrelated to the fact I was dead lol) and... the next day I'm running around, completely fine, dating and flirting like nothing was wrong.

We then realized that our relationship was too stressful (many factors there), not working, it was making me completely miserable to a point my body was just noping out of life.

Imagine then: should I have taking antibiotics, Panadol, long consultations with specialist ? Or a bit of BS fake juice ? The problem was not solvable by medicine and the government would have had to pay for it - in fact it did since I took all those medications that did nothing much. So not even for the placebo effect, sometimes you're sick because of life (stress is really a sickness inducer) and no amount of pharmaceuticals will truly help you.

I’m not asking for corporate speak. I’m suggesting simple communication that explains the information without insulting the reader and calling them a “motherfucker” every other sentence would be less alienating

> In that context, it's just a matter of taste - there's no real reason to police tone that isn't harmful (to anything other than a bottom line)

I’m not here to police anything or anyone. They’re free to write as they please. I’m just pointing out that writing this way is a big red flag to a lot of people this project’s target audience is the edgelord crowd. If that’s what they’re aiming for then there’s nothing wrong with that, but I don’t think they realize how making strong appeals to that narrow target audience is a fast track to pigeon holing your project as an edgelord thing. Just taking one look at the low brow insults and trash talking in the GitHub issues confirms it.

Back in the 1980s both a small italian restaurant in Fremantle West Australia and a larger function restaurant (weddings, etc) further north did the same "social checking" via pre internet local newspapers and gossip circles.

Walking in, everyone was treated like family and the regulars treated as close family they actually liked (the next level up).

There's always been more to good restaurants than just the food.

As a user, the issue with 1 and 2 is that you're constantly reminded of the cost, which discourages usage.

Personally, I prefer 3, even though I know I might be wasting some value by not hitting the limit each month. I think it’s because I know exactly how much I’ll pay upfront.

That said, when designing pricing and limits for 3, it’s important to ensure most users don’t hit the cap too quickly. Hitting the limit the day after paying would be a terrible experience. Finding the sweet spot % would be intersting.

Things have gone parabolic! It’s giga mega VC time!! Adios early stage, we’re doing $200M Series Seed pre revenue! Mission aligned! Giga power law!

This is just M2 expansion and wealth concentration. Plus a total disregard for 99% of employees. The 1000000x engineer can just do everyone else’s job and the gigachad VCs will back them from seed to exit (who even exits anymore, just hyper scale your way to Google a la Windsurf)!

Why are you commenting about part of my time at Mozilla to try to put me in a bad light, then when I challenge you, suddenly dragging Mitchell in? I was not attacking her, but you were definitely attacking me. Changing the subject to someone else does not excuse your usual sniping at me.

For your information, Mitchell and I collaborated closely as leaders (I was tech, she was mgmt/legal) of Mozilla from 1999 on to Firefox launch and peak in 2010 or 2011. We also worked after that year to deal with CEO issues, before with her support I became CEO. We both supported FirefoxOS among other projects I was a tech cofounder or sponsor of. Have a nice day.

True. but based on my researches don't use DPI on the NIN, so you might be able to use WG or OpenVpn on a VPS inside Iran but not to a VPS on let's say digital ocean. They can also selectively increase the or decrease the strength of their DPI as well, for example a range of IP can be graylisted and nothing will work on it, or they put more active probing effort on some ranges of IPs.

> you can’t really have more than a few YouTube tabs open in FF otherwise it starts freezing

I have a bad habit of opening lots of tabs. It can get to several hundred, with dozens specifically pointing to YouTube. I've never had this issue. Firefox sleeps tabs after inactivity and they've done this for some time now. Eats your swap and might need to reload it you go a month without touching it, but no freezing. Both on Linux and OSX.

> it’s been behind Safari in adding new features for a while.

What features? I'm not trying to be snarky or anything, it's just that ime Safari is the least feature rich browser out there. I don't use it much so I can miss things, but I'm legitimately curious
