Not so unprecedented so as to not involve cave divers and SEAL, no?

It's not like they sent in expert accountants or race drivers to rescue those children. Do you think team Musk or team Divers were the most fit for that mission?
Good catch.

I had a few 1400s in our fleet of laptops. The clear double-covers kept getting lost, they didn't last very long. As corporate business loaners, to be checked out for travel, they came with extra battery etc in a huge Targus case the size of a carry-on suitcase.

But it was a fun idea. I feel like we lived in a watered-down idea of what that product was supposed to be.

Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond is a mind-expanding read. Furthermore, it should be noted that many civilizations have problems roughly around the 250 year / 10 generation time, and the US is quite close to that. Combined with climate change and peak population, things gradually getting more than unpleasant might be the understatement of the millennium. I seriously doubt many civilizations went under quickly, and that most were “frogs” boiled slowly. The time for a dramatic, practical course-correction is now... not tomorrow, not soon and not later.

> There is also laws around hate speech and so forth.

Not in the US (as far as I understand). See the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_in_the_United_Stat...

> In June 2017, the Supreme Court affirmed in a unanimous decision on Matal v. Tam that the disparagement clause of the Lanham Act violates the First Amendment's free speech clause. The issue was about government prohibiting the registration of trademarks that are "racially disparaging". Justice Samuel Alito writes:

> “Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express "the thought that we hate". United States v. Schwimmer, 279 U. S. 644, 655 (1929) (Holmes, J., dissenting).”

I now find myself opening them, doing a task and
then closing them so as not to activate the discrete

Sounds like what's really needed here is a way to tell MacOS not to use the discrete graphics chip when on battery power.

Is there no way to do that? It's been a while since I used a MBP with discrete graphics. There used to be a menubar app for that, but I always felt it should have been an option baked into MacOS itself.
I think what your parent meant was Australia doesn't have any explicit freedom of speech protection laws, unlike the US and some other countries. Which is true.

"The Australian Constitution does not explicitly protect freedom of expression. However, the High Court has held that an implied freedom of political communication exists as an indispensible part of the system of representative and responsible government created by the Constitution. It operates as a freedom from government restraint, rather than a right conferred directly on individuals."

>but mobile devices also do not necessarily need AV1 encode support anyway

I would highly, highly argue that they do. There is no reason in modern day that we need to all be uploading the full size of images and videos to servers to be re-compressed. It creates a significant barrier to entry for any social media platform when it should be as simple as the device itself being able to encode it, with the server checking it and creating other sizes. If AV1 becomes the great standard we can reduce a lot of costs. We already could do it with jpeg compression, but hasn't seemed to happen.

Slightly less compression rates for faster compression is perfectly acceptable. I would hope theres profiling options for that.
they used to build high quality products, but they're losing their lead

The MacBook was a low spec machine for students and such.

The MacBook Aluminium was everything but a low spec machine (in fact, they sold it a year later as 'MacBook Pro') and I bought it for 1050 Euro new in 2009.

The plastic MacBooks were ok, but definitely not so cramped at the time as a MacBook Pro base model today. I know it's a hard disk, but the 2008 model had more storage than today's base model MacBook Pro (160GB vs 128GB).

At the time, macOS worked well on spinning platters, while having an SSD is pretty much a necessity now.

I know this may sound silly, but can someone make a quick rundown of the pros (and maybe cons) of Rust as compared to NodeJS, Go and Erlang? Why would people use it as opposed to these far more mature ecosystems, especially if it’s hard to master based on the comments I have seen from Rust users? (Not trying to be biased, actually want to ask people who do choose it.)
There’s already manufactured consent and corruption of civilizational-implosion proportions, but this is a shot across the bow that the day of the fourth estate independent press maybe numbered.
> Never saw this British expat guy who lives in Thailand (sus)

Aside from calling the guy a pedo, the implication here seems to be that Thailand has nothing to offer a British expat than a ready supply of child sex workers. So he's insulted a whole country.
Depends on the infrastructure and education. In the UK, I regularly see cyclists do stupid things. When I go to Holland, everybody respects the red lights, but I guess that's because they have amazing cycling infrastructure and also cycling is part of school curriculum
Same.

It's fine for Elon to disagree with someone. It's fine for anyone to disagree with anyone, frankly. It's not fine to disparage the hard work with such a tasteless and baseless accusation. I don't know how thin his skin is, but this hero will soon be just a moment in time; Elon will stick around. I'd hate to see what a balloon would do to Elon.

I'm probably more irritated with Elon's comment than most people here because I know what a pedophile is. You probably don't want to know how I know either. If someone blatantly molested, caressed, or otherwise violated your middle school-aged son or daughter, you'd be livid. That's what Elon is so baselessly accusing this man of, for no reason other than because he didn't get to use his little toy on the big stage for all the world to see.

Yes, there is a more general definition of pedophilia, but that definition is far lost on society. This isn't 2005 when gay "means" dumb.
This was definitely great news for Thailand. Especially after the capsized boat last week where 60+ people died.

Wait, HPMOR was lighthearted? That's not quite how I'd describe it. But in the same vein, try Worm [0]: A take on superpowers that tries to include changes to the world it's set in. Highly recommended by the author of HPMOR - "The characters in Worm use their powers so intelligently I didn’t even notice until something like the 10th volume that the alleged geniuses were behaving like actual geniuses". Also now has a sequel, Ward [1]. But be warned - "people who get powers continuing to act like people" does not a happy world make. (Also, it's really remarkably long. Like, current length of the ASOIAF series long.) Goodreads: [2]

Following a slightly more conventional definition of lighthearted, I think I'd recommend Larry Niven's Ringworld. When it comes to "moderately plausible megastructures", the ringworld concept is by far my favorite. Much less complicated than a Dyson Swarm, after all! Story is ok, and the sequels expanded things well enough. Not exactly the biggest fan of his female characters. Still worth it. Triple Crown (Hugo/Nebula/Locus) winner. Goodreads: [3]

AV1 is most expected to be used inside webm, though mkv can also package it.
Yes and arbitrary state censorship via prior restraint is knocking on our doors right now. If this isn’t throughly thrown out with prejudice, things will only get much, much worse.
I feel like the actual moral of the story should be "don't underestimate how trying to scrimp on a vital resource can result in horrible logistical complexities and a nightmare UX".

I am probably kind of crazy, but I love grain and worry when movies lose it. Like the fine old "Predator" movie on Bluray. Nice colors, but the grain is kind of gone. The DVD has more of it, and it looks better.

I feel a ramble coming on, but I believe movies should be available in a version close to how they were viewed on theatrical release.

If you think about it, the first 100 years of this artform is always going to be special.
I absolutely loved "Children of time" [1] - you can tell the writer is a scientist, or at least very seasoned in natural sciences, mainly biology. The story is not the best but how Tchaikovsky reasons shows how much he is able to think outside the box.

This is really interesting, thank you! I've been working the last couple of days on getting an old type-in game working and I had some vague thoughts about it being fun to somehow make it playable on the web. I'd have to convert it from Microsoft BASIC to the dialect BaCon uses, but that's definitely an option. Another option I've considered is to see about getting cbmbasic[0] running using a JS terminal emulator. And of course it might be a fun exercise to just convert them by hand to JS or what have you.

I also really like the new keyboard. It’s definitely the best non-mechanical keyboard I have typed on and I really enjoyed using it. However, like five or six keys are stuck, space and shift work only if I hit them in the center and the 7 key has key chartering worse than a broken Cherry MX.

It’s a pity and I am looking forward to buying a new MacBook with a hopefully more reliable keyboard shortly.
Agreed. Can you imagine how ridiculous HN would become if every start-up copy-paste posted every day like this? I don't have the required karma to downvote here, yet, but I think after a dozen reposts of the same exact Show HN, I'd be clicking it if I could.

Edit: As of this writing, the previous submission of this site is still on the first Show HN page.

You might be mixing up containers and codecs. webm is the container format that most av1 video will be delivered in.

With Apple the problem was not so much webm, but the vp9 codec, which is the codec most webm containers use (see youtube).

ie,
codecs: av1, vp9 <> h.264, h.265
containers: webm <> mp4
Your comment frankly terrifies me. (But I upvoted it nonetheless for being so thought-provoking!)

How does an entire civilization achieve a dramatic course correction without one group of people forcing others to do their will?

Even if it may seem undeniably necessary, who decides what the course correction should be and how it will be implemented?

Or can a course correction be made without somebody deciding for others?

I mean these as honest questions, not just adversarial arguing points. Would very much welcome any insights, thanks!

There are still limits in the US. You have to promise that you’ve never been a member of a communist party on entry. It wouldn’t be wise to talk about bombs near an airport, or tweet about killing the president when he’s visiting your city. People who say controversial things, write controversial articles, or make controversial films tend to get detained and questioned at the border a lot, get harassed, and get their devices confiscated.

Absolute freedom of speech doesn’t really exist anywhere. The US is probably one of the most liberal countries on earth when it comes to policing it, but it’s not like anyone can say anything.

Yes they are (on average anyway). Their parents sacrifice greater income to have them and even their education is more expensive in that living in areas with good schools cost more.

Of course you are right that provided identical environments smart and average children cost the same, but since smart parents tend to earn more, smart children cost more.

The ones without Bluetooth at all. Most of the audio problems in Bluetooth speakers isn't that they're low end garbage, but because Bluetooth mangles audio.
There are middle grounds that also work well, like what Canada has.

It's got entrenched constitutional protections for freedom of expression which courts are willing to use to invalidate laws, but the same constitution explicitly allows certain limits on that freedom.

The balance isn't perfect, especially not as applied to most Canadian defamation laws (Quebec is a bit friendlier to defendants here). But it's pretty good and way better than the UK's lack of any restraint on Parliament's surveillance state tendencies.

You are confusing yourself. I never spoke about who the most qualified person was for any task whatsoever. That has nothing to do with anything because I don't really think it's in contention who knows more about cave diving. I simply said that rescuing small weak boys who have zero diving experience from miles of submerged cave is basically something that has happened very seldomly. And I am correct.

I said that in relation to my claim that musk wasn't passing up tried and true methods because there were none because this never happens. If you actually have a substantive remark on any of that please let me know.

The dynamic totally changes with three kids.
I have three kids, and when one of them is not at home (doesn't matter which one) the atmosphere changes completely, hard to describe how.
What I want to say: Having three is different from having two, but not necessarily harder. They have more things to handle between themselves.
I could not bear to raise a single child. That must be really hard.
Agreed, the title is very misleading.
The Governor was not involved in the design of the rescue device. He is not a subject matter expert in cave diving, underwater rescue, or the operations inside the cave during this event. Elon states this in his tweets. The BBC chose to interpret the correction (“that’s GOVERNOR to you”) as a perjorative against the Governor (“he’s only a governor, not a rescue chief”), and the rest of the media circus ran with that interpretation.

The governor’s area of expertise was more likely how to go about convincing third parties to accept the fallout (rice farmers whose fields were damaged, parents whose kids might not be coming home) rather than a deep technical understanding of the activities.

Also the governor’s statement about the device not being a good fit seems more likely aimed at the device being a Plan C fallback, rather than the device not being useful at all. The extraction mission was already in progress, involving a hundred people or so. Anyone who has managed a large team knows that a team this size working under stress should not be changing horses mid stream.

Given that the kids were being sedated, it also stands to reason that putting them in a sealed tube was not a good fit since that would preclude monitoring vitals with the available tools eg 1 stethoscope. A future revision could be switching from bolt-on lid to clip-on lid so that rapid egress or access is possible.
