>Restaurant seen throwing waste in dumpster after removing it from food inspector's plate. Insists there's no other waste on other plates, apparently without checking.

That seems... kinda reasonable?

Health inspector: "hey it looks like your ice machine is dirty, and you're not keeping foods at a hot enough temperature"

Restaurant: "ok we'll clean our ice machines more carefully and install thermometers to monitor the temperature of our hot trays"

Journalist: "Restaurant made health violations harder to find instead of removing them!"

Would it be better if the restaurant was proactively fixing issues before the health inspector brought it up? Yes. Does it make sense to imply that the restaurant was acting maliciously by making health violations "harder to find"? No.

> Can you really not conceive of some content sufficiently valuable to make it worth you consuming those ads?

Honestly, no.

Perhaps I am just lacking imagination; can you think of any content compelling enough that a) I am not prepared to pay to get it and b) I am still prepared to view ads to get it?

I can't imagine any type of content that I both don't want to pay for and feel it is worth sitting through the ads.

I expect the ratios matter as well; the average webpage/site has more ads than content that I specifically want. If I had to sit through a 10s ad to see a 90m movie, I might do it. As it stands, right now on youtube, there is a 30s-60s ad shown between 5-minute videos.

So, when I am not using Firefox, I simply don't go to youtube.

> To say that israel invests in defense is at least 1/4 untrue, since the US sends billions every year.

This is factually incorrect. The amount of money that the US gives Israel is completely and totally irrelevant to whether or not Israel also invests their own money in defense.

The fact that the US has a problem with foreign influence literally does not matter for the statement above.

To be clear, I don't agree with the GP's implied suggestion that Israel is more defensive than offensive, but making objectively incorrect statements is not a valid way to refute that.

> To a childs perception of time, it was an agonizing eternity.

For me as a child, even getting a haircut was a dreary experience. It felt as an eternity I had to sit mostly immobile, while somebody else maneuvered sharp blades around my head. Nowadays it feels like I barely accomodated in the chair, it's already over.

A¹ homotopy is currently still a research area, but if you read the linked Wikipedia article:

"The underlying idea is that it should be possible to develop a purely algebraic approach to homotopy theory by replacing the unit interval [0, 1], which is not an algebraic variety, with the affine line A¹, which is."

In other words: it's a novel approach towards homotopy theory, which does have applications in the physical world.

Even better (Wikipedia article):

"[A¹ homotopy theory] has also recently revolutionized the theory of enumerative geometry problems."

Enumerative geometry does have applications in the physical world.

Bored in math or physics class back in Highschool, programming little games in BASIC on my TI-82, learning everything by just navigating the menus and trying to guess what each keywords meant.

Then, finding programming fun, decided to follow a Java tutorial (I knew the language from Minecraft), and code little projects in it. I made a few simple arcade games for my phone (whose source code I have lost, since I didn't know about git back then...).

Later in engineering school, learned Pascal, Fortran and C. At the same time, became interested in Python and Rust.

Nowadays, I'm a full-time dev, working mostly in Rust and sometimes Typescript.

I keep expecting fraternal orders to make a comeback. It seems like they were a solution to this problem, but have been deemed old fashioned.

I knew someone with the last name ‘Mason’, who would often get asked if he was a Freemason or a decent of one. Eventually he got asked so many times that he decided to join. After that it seemed like he went from not having much of a social life to going out all the time with his Freemason buddies.

Two places I’ve lived have been a short walk to an Elk lodge. If I was a member, I’d imagine that would be a good 3rd place with community. I think VFW would be another one, for veterans, which has also dropped in popularity, but was where my grandfather found his community.

Most of society has relegated fraternal orders participation to their college days. But even in college, most people I knew looked down on fraternities.

I wonder if some of the issue is that most of them require members be religious. With church attendance declining, joining a group that seems to require it is a harder sell. Church itself is also a place where community is built that a lot of people have left behind. I know several people whose entire social network seems to revolve around the church, for better or worse.

Bringing back these groups could really help a lot of people, so everyone isn’t expected do it all on their own or be lucky enough to have a friend who does it for them.

My dad has been very good about keeping up connections throughout his life which looks to be paying off now that he’s retired. But it seems like a significant amount of work that most people aren’t willing to do.

I have an old college roommate who lives less than a mile from me who I have only seen once in the last two years. I think most guys aren’t willing to pick up the phone to set something up, so simply having a place to go, where people are, tends to work out better. My friend who lives nearby is a member at the local country club, which also falls into that bucket of fraternal orders in a way. If I joined that I’d probably see him more, because we’d both have a place to regularly go. I feel weird inviting people over my house to do nothing and just hang out.

I think the ongoing conflict is the result of:

- Jewish flight/migration to Palestine, neglecting the reality to one extent or another that Palestinian Arabs were there and had aspirations to form a state

- Arab /Muslim nations forcibly ejecting their Jews to Israel in the 50s-70s (ashekenazi Jews are a minority in Israel, most are from Arab counties and Iran), thus fueling the Jewish population there. I can't think of a greater strategic failure from the Muslim perspective here, because Israelis from these countries ended up by proportion being the most extreme right-wing of Israelis (see crazy statements by the chief Sephardic rabbi of Israel as examples, his family is from Iraq I believe). These folks are not going to relocate to Berlin or Vienna any time soon.

- Muslim leaders using the conflict for their internal political purposes-- think Arab nationalist Egypt or Syria or Iraq, or Islamist Iran. I find it had to believe that the leaders of any of these countries care at all about the plight of the Palestinians, in fact, the more Palestinians suffer, the more these political entities gain. Up to a point though-- it wasn't enough for Asad, and Iran will fall too, because people want more than an enemy to focus on

- Muslim chauvinism. This one is underappreciated in my opinion! But in my opinion, a huge driver of the conflict. Muslims just don't want to let go of Jews, Christians and other minorities not being dhimmis in what used to be Muslim land. Muslims demand to be the top dogs in the levant. That's the reality they want to restore, as much as Jewish religious extremists have similar biases.

- ongoing cycle of violence since the 1920s

- organizations like Hamas that exist to resist peace initiatives and, for example, sabotaged the oslo accords by blowing up buses in Israel. Similar extremists exist on both sides, but Hamas was founded explicitly to resist peace and pursue maximalist goals. NGOs like UNRWA also have a stake in the conflict continuing, sadly.

No other conflict like Israel Palestine exists in the world for a reason. Even Ukraine is willing to cede land unjustly to Russia to end that war. Palestinians have been alternating between euphoria and great tragedy for 80 years now and refuse anything but the most maximalist vision, and suffer as a result because it drives away good faith actors that would otherwise support them (for example, liberal Israelis, many successive US administrations). Palestinians are really bad a picking their battles and strategic thinking. October 7th did not go as they envisioned, and only an irrational person would pretend the illusory gains there were worth it, which was pretty clear to me in real time on October 7th, while many Gazans were inexplicably celebrating in the streets.

It's scary that community is a goal to attain here, it seems. Having everything optimized, what kind of life is that? Surely not one that's worth living. What would you say in 20 years about a life without connection, spontaneity, beauty, experience and all? Or where all of those points are checkboxes to be checked? I actually see a bunch of reasons for avoiding community like "they are all leftist and I can't say this and that". I can only recommend going outside more and mingle. Life is beautiful, people are cool and the more you isolate, the more you stray from that.

What atrophies with calculator usage is an ability to do long form division for example, or arithmetic operations with large numbers in your head for example.

The way you describe AI - tell it the problem and get an easy answer sounds identical to anecdotal complaints I've heard like Google search providing an answer to everything means no one has to learn anything, or everyone copying code from stack overflow articles. At the end of the day it's still another tool with pros and cons, tradeoffs, etc., and will be used and misused and abused by different people in different ways.

One of the lessons I learned running a startup is that it doesn't matter how good the professionals you hire are for things like legal and accounting, you still need to put work in yourself.

Everyone makes mistakes and misses things, and as the co-founder you have to care more about the details than anyone else does.

I would have loved to have weird-unreliable-paralegal-Claude available back when I was doing that!

Are you fine with the mass killings of civilian populations in Gaza, yes or no?

War is ugly, I'm not trying to make the Palestinians into saints, but the other guy is advocating the insane position that Israel can do no wrong, and that them using excessive force is completely justified.

I feel like I'm losing my mind, why is it so hard to say "killing tens of thousands of civilians is barbaric"??

Yes, but these scrubbers need vast amounts of energy. Most of which emit carbon. We simply need to curb emissions. With the possible exception of basaltic rock weathering, DAC is not practical. Large DAC projects fail to reach forecasts, even when these forecasts for plants costing tens of millions of dollars only aim to extract global emissions of two or three seconds.

Is there an option for "Done well" and "Done poorly"?

As a case study, there is a Substack I follow with a guy who does original research. I've been following him before he started using AI images and once he started, I noticed that there was attention to detail in his images, in that they were highly relevant and unique to that article, sometimes including humor, and in general, you could tell he had actually thought about the image he posted. In his case, the AI art is mostly neutral for me. It doesn't affect my perception much one way or another.

On the done poorly end of the spectrum, when I go do a blog and every image is in the same style and is some variation of a robot or a person in front of a chalkboard (with the title or thesis on it) teaching other robots or people, I certainly think "Slop!" In that case, I more often feel that images are degrading content that might actually be decent and that no image would be better than this. I don't often come back, though.

They’re just responding to the market. The vast majority of people don’t care about this. Personally, I’d rather have two minutes more battery life than a headphone jack.

It’s annoying to have non-mainstream preferences in an area where economies of scale mean every product needs to have mass market appeal. But you might as well complain about the tide coming in.

>> That the US contributes doesn’t take away from the billions Israel did and does invest

> Actually it does? It takes about 1/4 away.

It literally does not. The way that every English speaker uses the word "invests" is exactly the opposite of this. If you're going to speak English, you use words as native speakers use them and you don't make up your own definitions.

One of the things becoming an adult that people miss is that somebody has to set stuff up and that somebody can be you.

It's really easy to be in the mindset that someone else should have already set up the rock climbing club and that if it doesn't exist it just can't.

Turns out that someone can be you! (and this is the thing people miss out on, you can actively make your world more like the way you want it to be by being that leader yourself and doing so is often way easier than you think)

This is good, but they're now charging authors a publishing fee of over $1000 per article (and they say that that is the discounted price). It is unclear whether this is justified. In my experience publishing scientific articles with ACM, all the real work (such as peer review) is done by volunteers. From what I can tell, ACM just hosts the exact PDF + metadata that authors supply. I suspect that in the future, more journals and conferences will switch to an arXiv-overlay model.
Show HN: DroidDock – Browse Android files on Mac with a Finder-like experience

Show HN: DroidDock – Browse Android files on Mac with a Finder-like experience

DroidDock is a macOS app that allows you to browse files on your Android device via ADB. Built with Tauri (Rust + React).

Core features:

- Browse files with Table, Grid, or Column views

- Preview images/text without downloading (press Space)

- Full keyboard navigation

- Search, upload/download, multi-select

- Dark mode support

What's New in v0.2.x

- File Previews: Press Space to preview images/text without downloading

- Minimalist UI: Clean 95% grayscale design with better readability

- Clickable Sorting: Click column headers (Name, Size, Date) to sort

- Kind Column: Shows file types at a glance (Image, Video, Document, etc.)

- Better Keyboard Navigation: Arrow keys in preview, Cmd shortcuts for everything

Tech Details

Built with Tauri (Rust backend) + React/TypeScript frontend. Rust handles all ADB communication for good performance. Small bundle (~15MB DMG universal binary), lower memory than Electron.

Challenges

1. ADB Path Detection: Different package managers install ADB in different locations. Had to check 5+ common paths on startup.

2. Thumbnail Generation: Android doesn't expose a thumbnail API via ADB. I pull the first N bytes of image files and generate thumbnails on-the-fly with caching.

3. File Preview: ADB doesn't stream files – you have to pull the entire file. For large images, I had to implement chunked reading to check dimensions first.

4. Code Signing: Currently unsigned (requires $99/year Apple Developer membership). Users have to right-click → Open on first launch.

Open Source & Free

MIT licensed, no telemetry, no ads.

Would love feedback! This is my first Tauri app after years of Electron. The Rust learning curve was worth it.

Can you refer to some examples or procedures, that you think fit the "talk to the hand" description? I would think that upholding the law is a matter of countries and only in big cases with EU-spanning big tech being the task of EU courts. Countries however, have failed to persecute tons of websites that don't adhere to the law. But that doesn't translate to "talk to the hand". It translates to tolerating crimes and not protecting citizen rights. Which actions or inaction specifically are what you are referring to?

That same money could replace a lot more emissions with other sources of energy. How much solar and batteries does it buy? It’s always struck me as a moonshot project for people who don’t understand thermodynamics.

You could probably unstir the cream from the coffee with an elaborate chemical processing system costing more than what thousands of coffee makers and dairy cows cost.

The only CO2 removal project I’ve seen that seems like it might be viable is ocean fertilization. That’s not a thermodynamic free lunch. You’re letting solar powered microorganisms do it. But it needs to be studied and monitored to make sure it doesn’t ruin ocean ecosystems and that enough of the carbon actually does get sequestered to make it actually worthwhile.

Practically speaking it doesn't matter. Just use your healthy (men 15-20% fat; women +8%) weight and calculate based on that.

If you are healthy fat percentage, just use your own weight. If you are a bit highter, and can financially and practically afford it, just use your weight as well. Won't hurt and might actually help a bit.

So it is only a concern for severely obese people. If you are 50+kg overweight, you can scale it down a bit.

Similarly, these obese people shouldn't use the "my current diet - 500kcal a day reduction" which is sensible for already lean bodybuilders. They should just use the "my maintenance diet if I were of healthy weight".

IMO, please continue buying records, but don’t buy tickets to shows you can’t attend. I can’t speak for live music, but in SF there is/was an issue of club nights selling out, but having low attendance due to people buying tickets as an “option”. This is a problem because it screws up venues planning for bar sales as a revenue source and deterring last minute buyers/door sales (who may either be heads or punters) who see a sold out show online.

Steak is the meat that people pay the most attention to in this regard! People will pay hundreds of dollars for a few ounces of steak solely based on how the cow was raised and fed.

For steak, I disagree with the article about stigma of eating bugs. Feeding cows bugs will save money, no doubt, and that might help cost on the low end of the beef market. Steak is a different thing though. A "bug-raised, bug-finished" steak would have to be incredible to overcome the stigma.

Traditionally that was R&D and its own department.

Having a CTO pet group isn’t the best use of the CTOs time. If you want to have better architecture and explore greenfield projects, you need an organization that supports R&D through cross functional groups.

A CTO should NOT be doing greenfield projects. A CTO should be setting technical vision and strategy for the entire company.

You're forgetting a step:

- The entire MAGA zeitgeist takes the president's word as gospel and shifts into overdrive in an attempt to enact his proclamation through: A) social pressure; B) new state laws; C) lawsuits of their own; or, when all else fails, D) just ignoring court orders.

Because the president (this one especially, but also his predecessors) is more than just a person.

There is a trade off here (of course) as in anything.

You can write the type heavy language with the nullable-type and the carefully thought through logic. Or you can use the dynamic language with the likelihood that it will crash. The issue is not “you are a bad coder, and should be guilty” but that there is a cost to a crash and a cost to moving wholesale to Haskell or perhaps more realistically to typed python, and those costs are quantifiable- and perhaps sometimes the throwaway code that has made it to production is on the right side of the cost curve.

I generally agree with you on the point that a "good Pokémon team" can be better encapsulated by other attributes, including those you mentioned. I would disagree on assumptions being very wrong, because I am not assuming that the objective and constraints chosen are ideal or even good enough, I am choosing them simple for illustration purposes.

I actually found it interesting that in spite of what is a clearly overly simple model, the non-legendary non-multi-starter you eventually get is quite a good one, in my opinion better than what the naive constraints would lead me to think.

Also, keep in mind that I'm not talking about competitive matches here, just mainline gaming. For that end, types are usually all you need, and in that area the main thing I would do is generalize type constraints to not be just defensive but also ensure each resistant Pokémon has a good enough attack against that type.

In my opinion, abilities, nature, objects are:
1. Too complex for such models (MIPs are still exponential-time)
2. Overkill strategy when all you wanna do is beat the league

But that last part is just my opinion.

> The muscle "shock" broscience has been disproven many times:

Variety isn't to shock or confuse the body, it's just to make sure you actually hit all the muscles in as many ways possible. Take your average push/pull gym rat to a yoga class or a climbing wall and they'll be more sore the next day than they've ever been before, because they'll activate muscles they didn't even know they had.
