There are loads of factors at play, to lay the blame of this demographic trend solely on bike-centric policy is, if I’m being very very generous, lazy. Since it’s the telegraph, about a foreign city, I would assume it’s disingenuous.

The article doesn’t even call out bike centric policies:

> “It is the result of a quarter-century of policies that have made life harder for families and the middle class. Construction work, difficult access to nurseries, skyrocketing rents, and social housing shortages have pushed Parisians to the suburbs or provinces.”

The “worst” callout in the article is triple parking fees for SUVs.

Oh.

Anyway.

It looks like there are loads of factors at play and I wouldn’t trust assigning blame to just one, especially when your supporting article only kinda sorta touches on that factor.

Happens once in a while on the municipal bus here in Tompkins County and for a while we had somebody who watched videos on their phone that sounded like AI slop with maudlin sentiments and the vocal equivalent of large type in the area of the gas station where you might drink your coffee or eat your pizza slices.

Could be done with low energy Bluetooth beacons on the bus or something like AirTags. Such a beacon system would also give accurate position on the vehicle which would open up other location-based services (go three cars forward for the restaurant car)

Home owners in low-risk regions like upstate NY actually have to subsidize the solvency of insurers offering coverage in extreme-risk regions like Florida and the south.

Everyone's home insurance premiums should be lower than they actually are. Except they're not, because we have to pay to offset the cost of all the people rebuilding their houses on the Florida coast every few years.

I am on my phone but you can Google and find lots of data that shows dual parent/intact families correlate positively with a bunch of other factors like income, college graduation, etc. More parents=more resources. More resources is generally better than less. Having kids myself, I can barely imagine being able to do it by myself... and even if I could it would certainly be to a lesser quality.

Oh yeah, I've done that trick before, it's quite handy. Sometimes catches bugs that would be tricky to find with watchpoints. I wrote an allocator that allocates an extra page either before or after the users allocation, and aligns the user allocation such that it is as close as possible (while respecting user-requested alignment) to butting up against that extra page (marked PROT_NONE). Can catch underflows or overflows with this method, but not both simultaneously. Very handy from time to time.
Show HN: Blarb – Chat instantly, just by sharing a link
by vasanthv | 2025-09-10 15:17:15+00:00
I built blarb.net as a way to start a chatroom instantly, without accounts or installs. Any URL is a channel — for example, blarb.net/anything becomes a live room you can share.

Some features:

- No signup — just share a link

- Peer-to-peer channels with end-to-end encryption (/@channel-name)

- 24-hour history (regular channels auto-expire)

- Unlimited participants

- Embeddable on your site or blog

- Free to use

Would love feedback from the HN community.

> If there's one school that claims it successfully teaches children to love reading, and another school that makes no such claim, but has +50 on SAT over the first school across the board? The second one is probably a better school.

Or it's better at SAT prep? That's the entire point of OPs comment. Metrics become targets and then anything (that may still be incredibly important) but doe not contribute to that target gets lost.

As Bill Engvall said "here's your sign." It's expensive to live in disaster-prone areas. Whether the disasters are due to hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, or earthquakes. You are statistically more likely to make a claim, and therefore your premium must reflect that reality.

The rising premiums serve as a brake for continued development in such areas. Not only should it drive the build-out of fewer units, it should also drive the build-out of cheaper units. Building multimillion-dollar homes in disaster-prone areas should be extremely expensive to insure.

Thanks for this useful comment, too rare in this discussion unfortunately.

One thing to bear in mind is that roads are required no matter what, so the question is one of size, really. In general public transport shines and is definitely worthwhile in dense urban environments where cars-only infrastructure could not cope or would be completely disproportionate. As density drops usefulness and viability drop, too.

> In the end there is a balance between public transportation and car dependency and right now the scales are leaning too much in favor of cars.

Not sure that is the case in Europe. In Europe this tends to be driven by militant groups that want to ban cars for dogmatic reasons and they create real problems for people and businesses in the process.

A pragmatic approach is indeed to have a good balance and to accept that cars are both wanted and useful, and needed in many cases.

If you have the user's credentials then you can indeed connect to the service as you normally would. The advantages of performing this attack are:

1. You can obtain the service account's password, and the service account may be provisioned with more privileges than the user's account that you compromised. This allows for privilege escalation beyond simply accessing the service. For example, perhaps the service account has administrative access on other machines, or it is used for multiple services, or it is a Domain Admin in which case you can completely compromise the domain.

2. TGS tickets used to request access to a service are cryptographically signed with the password hash of the service account. Services use this to confirm ticket validity. In most cases, this means that if you can derive the service account password, you can forge TGS tickets that claim to be associated with arbitrary domain users. Instead of accessing the service as a low privilege user, you can now access the service as an Enterprise Admin or another high privilege account which could enable access to more resources or administrative access to the machine. This is called a Silver Ticket attack.

How do you know? I know many parents who move their kids around in bikes (many of those live in cities with less than 200k people) who specifically opted not own cars.

I particular I know that many schools in Germany have car free zones around them due to the problems that car drop offs cause (there is nothing worse as a rushed parent in an SUV dropping their kids off at school. The number of near misses I have seen and experienced makes we want to globally forbid cars within 2 km of a school).

Yeah, it's the definition of a game theory prisoner's dilemma type situation. Which normally governments are best positioned to solve. But this one requires coordination between politicians over long timescales, and across sovereign governments altogether.

So it really does require worldwide grassroots activism, which unfortunately is very slow and incremental. I'm not hopeful... Our ape brains are just not built for what it takes.

The take from concessions sales and tickets is actually very high.

At the school where I’m familiar with the finances, the concessions stands were run by student volunteers from other after school programs. They got a cut of the profit. It was an easy way for different programs to raise money with a much larger audience than they could get anywhere else.

This school wasn’t even a “football school”. The football events were just a big excuse for everyone to come out and do activities at the school.

> According to our friend Chick3nman, the same RTX 5090 can crack 4.18 billion (with a “b”) of these hashes every second.

It may just be imprecise writing, but this is very misleading. The stat is that 4.18 B hashes can be computed per second, not cracked. Computing a hash means converting a given input into its hash. Cracking a hash means starting from the given hash and determining what the input must have been. To crack a given hash you have to iterate over the input space and compute all their hashes (barring other exploitable weaknesses).

So, sure you can "crack" 4.18 B hashes per second, as long as you don't care that the hashes you are "cracking" are not the one you're interested in.

Hey guys, nice work! Finally someone is taking the bull by the horns.

What excites me most is the potential for MCP to help with diagnostics and deployment for non-developers. A lot of lab techs or operators don’t want to dive into ros2 topic hz or parse logs — they just want to ask simple questions like “why isn’t the arm responding?” or “is this topic publishing?”.

A natural language layer over ROS could make debugging and deployment way easier for non-technical users — almost like having a conversational ros2 doctor or ros2 launch.

My phone is from 2019 and already lacks removable battery (but this doesn’t matter in reality) and IR blaster. I regularly look for possible replacement phones and only see, that there is no advancement anymore, except for having more CPU power and maybe a little bit better cameras.

Instead phones are - bigger, though still no more pixels, which means less DPI), - thicker, resulting from more battery power, which I would not need to use if they would integrate better power saving CPU/GPUs – also I don’t play on the phone, - therefore much heavier, - lack headphone jack - lack SD card slot (but the built-in storage is sufficient enough) - are increasingly more bloated with software than cannot be deactivated or removes phone features if done so

And all phones are the same with the same disadvantages. There’s no variaty like e.g. on the car market.

It's very sad... I went to schools in Arlington that were quite good when I attended in the 70s and 80s. Our high school routinely ranked high on the academic achievement ratings (% of students going to college, average SAT score, etc.) _AND_ we routinely sent our high school football team to district and state competitions. Our soccer team was undefeated for years.

I've often thought it would be a good idea to separate academics from athletics. Have a "school district" that runs the schools in a building next to the football field run by the "athletic district." I think both are important, but you're right, North Texas public schools have fallen quite far from the academic standards they used to hold.

For Obsidian, I use hierarchal tags (eg. #python/django/models) and the Omnisearch extension[1] for resurfacing and I don't have any complaints.

For tags, I use it much like a file navigator. In fact, it sits exactly where the files tree is in the default config. But, instead of files, its hierarchal tags.

You can have streets which are car-friendly (for exceptional or emergency purposes where you need the car) by getting rid of all frivolous car use. There's no feasible alternative, because congestion always destroys car-friendliness except in very sparsely populated areas. And you can only eliminate that congestion by promoting more scalable alternatives to the use of private motor vehicles.

> Well, right, then, this is a leftist position, but that's why I was surprised that you supported any action at all against the workers who suffered the enforcement action. It seems to me the workers are beings scapegoated for right wing propaganda while the ownership class will continue to not suffer any consequences.

Raiding a huge multi-billion dollar project run by a globally important company, and effectively shutting down a project like this at least for awhile, is absolutely not how enforcement actions are usually done.

There's a huge distinction between doing stuff like this and picking up people trying to day day labor in Home Depot parking lots. It's unfortunate that the individual workers are the ones in handcuffs but at the end of the day if you're going to have rules that stop people from working illegally someone is going to have to be able to show up and remove people working illegally from a job site. If you rule something like that out you don't have laws at all.

Doing this to a powerful company is not normal. That's what makes this situation so unusual and interesting, and why I'm arguing in this thread against people that seem to be making knee-jerk reactions based on who's involved.

As you point out, it doesn't require it.

Your comment is like complaining about luxury handbags when cheap ones exist too.

I don't know what you're suggesting. Companies shouldn't make expensive versions of things even when there are consumers who want to buy them?

You should also realize that it's people buying the expensive versions of things that helps subsidize the cheaper ones made by the same company. And it's the quality Apple is providing that even makes a secondhand market viable, because their devices last much more than other brands.

I created everything here.. music and composition and the video with AI on my phone:

https://youtu.be/BUydN1PRPgo

Suno extracts stems but I would love it if they have an ancillary app that would do the scoresheet and give me the notes…

While AI music is fine by me(it’s here to stay), I would like to tweak some of the chord progression of the orchestration .. would certainly like to see how it would play out live.

I am loving it. I am not a musician and I am learning from this.. by doing and music theory one song at a time.. It is making music learning fun for me.

The U.S. isn’t “bad” at math. I found some updated charts that break down the data for 2022 (the underlying data is all from OECD and NCES). White kids in the U.S. outperform non-immigrant kids from every European country except Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Estonia: https://x.com/cremieuxrecueil/status/1732244690408214720?s=4.... Though to be fair, the US and Europe are all notable behind the developed asian countries (Singapore, Japan, Korea) which may indicate a lesser cultural focus on STEM.

Not to mention, taxpayers across the country are subsidizing federal insurance programs for people to rebuild those homes in the exact same location.

I get ties to communities. I get "socialism" - I'm all for universal healthcare.

But maybe there are limits, you get one issue. If you live in a flood zone, your house gets rebuilt, and it floods again, maybe the requirement of that insurance is relocation.

As it stands, there are people who have had their home rebuilt three times in 20 years in the same location through insurance and FEMA. I'm not saying that from the perspective of "that must be nice" - losing valuables, all the issues with flooding, are entirely horrible and unpleasant. But at what point do we as a society say "Y'know, maybe just don't build there... again."

I'm not sure this is all that unpopular of an opinion anymore. Government schools have been in decline for decades, and a lot of people were exposed to the truth of just how dysfunctional they had become during covid lock downs. Perhaps before that more people still believed in the noble myth of public education, but I, at least, have seen more and more people agreeing with the sentiment you put forward, minus the statement about keeping teens out of the job market.

My point is that I don't have my own definition of words!

We should all use the common definition of words. That makes communication possible!

dictionary.com gives this definition: "exclusive control of a commodity or service in a particular market, or a control that makes possible the manipulation of prices."

That's... not what I expected. To me having a monopoly means being the only provider, but I'll bend the knee to the dictionary.

In this case though, with competitors at 10% or 25% market share, you can easily publish videos at a cheaper vendor.

The executive class is entirely based on personal branding. If you're not changing anything, it's like being a TikTok influencer without posting any new videos. It doesn't matter what you post really, and often the more controversial you are the better. If you play your cards right, you're not an "idiot" for making the company worse, you're a "bold and innovative thought leader".

You often see the same thing from ambitious managers. Aka, "managers gonna manage".

The other part of the equation is pure politics and PR, which at least does provide some real value to the company (if only temporarily, and at long-term net negative). Amazon made it pretty clear that their RTO was all about maintaining their relationship with politicians.

Lol yeah, the radar operators scrambled several fighter jets because they observed a paper bag floating, paper bags that went up and down 10,000 feets within seconds, and paper bags that the fighter jets couldn't follow to the end since the wind lift them up so quick. And then (tic-tac), paper bag that went in and out of water without loss of speed or splash. Thanks Sherlock.

This is interesting data. For all the talk of bringing up the bottom and "No child left behind" this suggests we're still succeeding. And as anyone in California will tell you, schools are doing this at the expense of the top students.

I get that COVID is part of the cause. Forcing one instructor to teach to 30 kids of widely varied abilities makes it worse. In that model, nobody learns.

> The purpose of education past 8th grade is to keep young people out of the job market.

If not for that pesky education system we could all be hiring fully capable 14 year olds into our empty job postings!

Of course, they might have trouble getting to the workplace. Or doing anything that benefits from a high school education. Maybe shuttle them to the mines?

The existing Postgres license already has an "as is" disclaimer, so adding this clause means you want to _punitively_ punish companies that sue you for reasons outside of this software. The interpretation then is you want to punish users of your software that find themselves in a (potentially legitimate) situation to sue you over unrelated matters.

For example, if Supabase failed to pay a vendor that happened to use OrioleDB they wouldn't be able to sue you for damages without compromising their stack. That's uncool.

My take-away from the Facebook/React license issue was that the community agrees this violates the spirit of FOSS and invalidates claiming to be open source (at least OSI-approved), with many taking offense to the punitive nature of the clause.

Granted Facebook was in a position to see litigation over a lot more reasons.

Non-human intelligence sharing the planet with us is a mundane explanation. It's a completely trivial possibility in the vastly expansive fields of biology and physics. Earth is known to host extremely complex life and is the only known planet to do so. To look for unknown forms of life one need only look at their feet. Bacteria was a previously unknown, extremely expansive form of life on Earth.

We unlocked the secrets of the atom and gained within it the capability of ending all life on earth trivially. Other secrets being locked behind physics isn't a radical speculation. In fact, it's surprising that we haven't really seen any since.

Really cool, the multi-robot angle got me thinking. For simultaneous setups, would that mean spinning separate MCP clients (one per robot), or could a single client handle multiple connections in parallel, almost like an operator shell aware of multiple robot contexts?

On the flip side, how would you handle conflicting commands from multiple clients? Is it last-writer-wins, or do you envision some arbitration layer? It feels like orchestration + conflict resolution will be key if MCP is to scale beyond single-robot demos into fleet-level use.

> 4. Too many parents aren’t parenting

You attribute this to increased laziness, and that might contribute, but there are other factors at play.

For one, it takes significantly more hours of work from both parents just to provide basic food & shelter than it did a few decades ago. Calling parents who work more hours than any previous generation in history "lazy" is itself lazy and misses the point.

Hi buddy you might be colorblind: git diff uses green for added things, not blue. That includes --color-words.

You might've also changed your color theme and forgotten. You can pipe through less (or something else that doesn't understand the control code) and look for ^[[31m is red; ^[[32m is green; ^[[34m would be blue (although ^[[36m is kindof a light blue/cyan) to tell if you've reconfigured your terminal, or you've reconfigured git's default colors, but if you haven't done either you might want to get your color-vision checked!

And also a lot of (unordered) lists. It however only took one more step to verify this: the code is two commits, which both have "(...) and claude committed" in their commit tag, and " Generated with Claude Code" in their commit message. This is not intended to be a judgement, more a neutral observation.

I thought the "demo_crabcamera.py" was funny with respect to vibecoding: it's not a demo (I already found it odd for a Tauri app to be demo-ed via a python script); it produces the description text posted by OP.

On a more serious note, it all looks reasonably complete like most AI generated projects, but also almost a one shot generated project which hasn't seen much use for it to mature. This becomes even more true when you look a bit deeper at the code, where there are unfinished methods like:

pub fn get_device_caps(device_path: &str) -> Result<Vec<String>, CameraError> { // This would typically query V4L2 capabilities // For now, return common capabilities Ok(vec![ "Video Capture".to_string(), "Streaming".to_string(), "Extended Controls".to_string(), ]) }

The project states it builds on nokhwa for the real camera capture capabilities, but then conditionally includes platform libraries, which seem to be only used for tests (which means they could have been dev-dependencies), at least in the case of v4l, based on the results of GitHub's search within the repo.

Perhaps it all works, but it does feel a bit immature and it does come with the risks of AI generated code.
