This outlet has broken stories about state police corruption that have later been picked up by more mainstream publications. It is definitely an outlet that occasionally 'digs out facts that the public needs to know' that are not being otherwise revealed.

So their rollout methodology here was to go live with beta software, on production servers, to paying customers, and force them to find the bugs. Brilliant!

This West/rest dichotomy seems a bit outdated. Is China the West? oil-rich Middle East? Both of those have high emissions per capita - in the case of the Middle East, some of the highest in the world.

Opinionated advice, ymmv.

Get off dating apps; they're toxic. Use Meetup, take a pottery class, a yoga class, join a hiking group, a book club. And crucially, don't expect any of that to yield a romantic partnership. Make friends. Go to their weddings, parties, etc. There, you might meet women who are looking for a guy like you. Or maybe one of your friendships will blossom into more.

When I was single and presenting as male, I found myself in a similar conundrum. I found success in "playing hard to get," eg., rather than immediately biting at every flirt, I'd respond with low-key flirts and not escalate for some time. After I got enough consistent-seeming signs, I'd ask somebody out long before I got attached to the idea. "Hey, you wanna get lunch some time?" "Uh, do you mean a date? I've got a partner." "Oh, haha, yeah I meant a date, no worries." When you can do that without feeling devastated, you're on the right track.

I think the article takes issue with "Microsoft loves Linux" as a blanket term, where it's more like "Microsoft loves† Linux‡"

(† supports in only a very specific way because of losing to Linux on the server side.)

(‡ Linux as used only for servers. Linux as a desktop OS can still get bent, and we're trying to get devs to abandon it when working on code that deploys to Linux servers.)

Ask HN: How did you launch your web site/app?
What kind of promotion methods did you use to promote your newly released web apps?

Is there any suggested reading you can point me to that will help launch my next product more effectively? If some things have worked for you, can you share your experiences? If you have used a company to help run the launch campaign, can you share your story?
I would almost vote for that platform. The problem is it's regressive... prices on basic good and utilities disproportionately harm those who are poor, at least in the short term. But I think there are ways to mitigate that, and as a package would likely be a popular position.
The news article talks about an estimation of €20k to renovate them. They're likely not very large, though.
Hey, we don't have obsessive arguments over the true refresh rate of our 144 Hz monitors, we only have obsessive arguments over if you should enable or disable vsync on 144 Hz gsync monitors when you already cap your frame rate below the refresh rate to avoid the vsync input latency, because you could either get one frame of increased latency or one frame of tearing if the FPS cap misbehaves or the frame rate drops suddenly.

So, yeah. What's stadia?

That is quite false. When I worked at Google, my W2 income was about $270k every year, as a nobody senior engineer. I worked with multiple people that made at least $600k a year. There are thousands of engineers at Google making that kind of money, and no doubt Uber/Lyft/Facebook/Apple/Netflix/Microsoft are paying similar salaries.

This was not the Bay Area, rather New York, but the salaries are about the same in both areas.

The people that own homes in the Bay Area are Googlers that married each other. That is some good income. Enough for a shed in someone's backyard anyway!

Your approach sounds a lot easier in that regard. Let me explain the reasoning behind mine:

The important idea was to have the 'failure' case being somewhat acceptable. It's not an either-or situation where you either are a vegetarian or not.

It's meant to be a method to deal with weakness. Consuming a fraction of the meat than before is better than being a vegetarian for maybe five weeks before everything falls apart.

Combining both approaches might even be the best way: Don't eat meat, except if you really want to sounds simple enough.
Thanks - we’ve tried to make this as clean and simple as possible :-)

This came from my own necessity. I would occasionally use Takeout as my backup, but downloading more than 50 individual 2GB files was becoming pretty tiresome. Plus, that backup was obsolete the moment I added new photos to my library.

Maybe my workflow is different than others? Google Photos is the only place that all my photos live now. I have multiple devices connected, each sending files to the same library. I did’t have a full backup anywhere, other than the occasional Takeout download.

Agreed, one more monthly subscription not be right for some, but for others the extra piece of mind is worthwhile.
It's really good actually but it's not a differentiating factor at the dating stage. Dating is an emotional competition, marriage introduces practical considerations. You need to get past the likeability filter before any woman is even asking herself whether she'd settle down with you.

If you present yourself as marriage material without succeeding at being dating material, you're selecting for economic opportunists ("gold-diggers").
The introduction to servers I wish I'd had
It's not the backbones that cause the issues. It's the centralized services we rely on.

Fully decentralized services don't make money, as they inherently rely on a population of providers to be exactly equal to them.

After Usenet fell out of favor, RSS sort of answered the mail here since aggregators could pull the news together and cache it. That is, until news services stopped providing more than the intro paragraph in their feeds.

But yes, social networks are central to many peoples relationships now and people would have to remember how to communicate without messenger apps again.
Except those "better bookstores" are also struggling. The internet might not be killing physical book sales, but online retailers are killing physical book retailers.
We need a way to incentivize countries to take action and bring in carbon pricing and the like.

About the only way I can think of would be a new global trade agreement. Something like meet your carbon targets and get free trade with all other members, don't and face 30% tariffs. If you could get say the US and EU on board pretty much all countries would be forced to follow.

That plus say a $100 carbon price might pretty much fix things for the output drops suggested in the article and not hurt the economy much.
Upskilling of a workforce isn't a bad thing.

Product development, especially in brand-new markets, requires a visionary with excellent taste, and the trust and respect of his team to revise with confidence.

I can imagine what happened with Zune, cloud, etc is that (an enormously successful) MS assigned senior engineers to head up potentially prestigious new projects as professional rewards, but what they should have done was acquire-hire startup founders with fire in their belly (and strong vision) about the space. Ironically anyone with that much belly fire probably would have left MS to pursue it, basically disqualifying everyone left. :)
One thing doesn't imply the other. The format could be machine readable and still be pixel-perfect consistent. It could also allow reflowing, adjusting the kerning, or use system fonts even if it's machine unreadable.

If Office was available for Linux, some organizations could consider deploying Linux workstations with Office since that's what most users/employees need is basically a browser (100%/users) and the Office suite (50-90%/users). Office Online is severely gimped as noted in the article and is solely to counteract adoption of Google Office.
I tried using a quote first, but the fact that you need to double-space between paragraphs, even when using the > symbol broke the formatting.

> Meanwhile, the world outside of the Vonnegut Museum is performing an homage to him by attempting to recreate Harrison Bergeron.

It does seem like that sometimes. I think generally things have been going in the right direction overall (mostly), but some people are never satisfied and use social media to loudly demand that everything in society to be structured in exactly the way that pleases them, and not make any attempts to adapt themselves to society.

But if that never happened, and everyone was quiet, we wouldn't have the positive overall changes our world enjoys, it's just sad to see some people that look like they don't want to even try to enjoy the life they're given.
But how do hobbies help tho? Lets say I wanted to improve myself, leave my introverted hobbies behind and do something more social with my time. You still need to create relationships with people in order to be invited to do those hobbies together.

I should add that I am actually married, even though I've never once in my life ever hit on a woman. I got snatched up entirely by accident. So I've grappled with these issues but they aren't relevant to me anymore.
Dropbox is just a hosted rsync server really [0]. The service has value, the technology didn't really require a new protocol except for lock in purposes.

I'm not saying that a service that takes existing ideas and makes them easier for people to use is bad, I'm saying that the open protocol people are calling for already exists, but because they have tech-brain they'd rather build a completely new protocol because it's more fun.

[0] Not literally, I have no idea what it uses.
Thanks for the verbose feedback. We seriously appreciate it. Wanted to respond to your items:

1. You are Comparing DuckDuckGo and Google suggestions (search engine), not Safari and Brave (browser). Change your Brave search engine to DDG, and results will be the same.

2. You can turn off the tab bar thing in settings. Safari offers this, just defaults to off.

3. We do have a lot of icons, you can hide the BAT icon if you don't use rewards (see settings).

4/5. Yes, those are bad bugs, we are currently rebuilding our syncing system.

I will raise this ticket and see if we can get some movement on it.

That's not how any of this works. House prices will drop where people cannot live anymore. And scientists have accounted for newly opened land... there is less of it then what is becoming uninhabitable.

I'd imagine that once this "experiment" is rolled out to 100% of the user base and no longer an "experiment" they will remove the feature flag and the code for the old input box.
Indeed. Television? Internet. Telephone? Internet. Messaging? Internet.

Without the Internet, my ability to communicate here would be reduced to printed pamphlets and receiving radio broadcasts.

In the great 2003 power outage in eastern North America, there were already problems communicating with people about the outage because a surprising number of people didn't have battery-powered radios. Kill the net, the phones, and cable TV and that cut off the majority of people 15+ years ago.

When the 2013 ice storm hit Toronto, entire neighbourhoods were in the information-dark after the backup generators for cell towers died. It wasn't long before my neighbours came knocking asking if I knew why the power was out and what was up. Phones were down. TV was down. Internet service was down. And they had no other way of getting information. I think I might have been the only person on the block with a battery-powered radio.

I agree calling it a success is too rosy, but I think people are really thinking od this as progress, not a regression like the event itself would naively suggest, because the company relies on hardware failure to inform design improvements.
Uncomfortable, perhaps, not unlivable. People somehow managed to live indoors without AC for millennia, and a few billion people are doing so right now despite living in regions where summer temps rise to the low 40s C. Relative humidity also plays a large part. 26 degrees C is nothing in a fairly dry climate.
im sorry but its hilarious to me that feature flagging is "new" to their development process
It really can't hurt to learn a bit about it -- especially if you're new to functional programming or generally hate front-end. It also offers a good solution for SPAs and certain problem domains. It's probably easier to pick up than something in a competing space like PureScript, but it also lacks the flexibility. Elm can also be a good stepping stone to other things if it doesn't fit your style and you need more and some people seem happy just staying within the Elm realm.
Yes I would, and vote accordingly - heavily against my personal financial interest. Yet I recognise that I am not especially representative here. I'd also criticise the party proposing those as not doing nearly enough. :)

> Even better: Try to get elected with that

I don't live under a Swiss model of direct democracy, or even one of the better forms of proportional representation. We disassembled most local government powers and gave them to central. A majority of votes are pointless and wasted in safe seats. Many consider my country (the UK) one of the least representative implementations of "democracy" on the planet - with good cause. Only the top 2 - 4 issues and latest "idiot soundbite" swing elections. Scarily the Murdoch media can still apparently swing elections.

Where I live there's no point voting - there's too many retirees who've paid off mortgage, kids moved out etc who are voting solely on tax and pension levels.

Which leaves a) achieve a miracle of making it a key issue for Murdoch (or Lebedev, Desmond, Barclay Brothers etc) or b) get a world so hugely impacted that it's above health, employment and tax for most including the pensioners... Or I guess wait for the revolution? ;)
Having been to a similar market in Mumbai, I can tell you that any air conditioned store with overhead is never going to be able to compete with these roadside bazaars in range or pricing. I fondly remember buying huge bagfuls of relatively recent releases for maybe $5 dollars a bag.
Let's all go for a round of "correlation!= causation" as nobody has ever mentioned it before in a post about a study...
The vowel sound is different between past tense and present tense "read", even though they're spelled the same.

But that's not what's going on in the Swedish example above. The vowels are exactly the same between "anden" (the spirit) and "anden" (the duck), but the pitch accent is different, the "song" of the words is different.

Here's a video showing the difference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXp7_Sjgm34

(And if you can't hear the difference in that video, don't worry too much, it's Swedish that's weird, not you. :) )
Neat island, but I can assure you South Americans and Africans would have no issues invading it by boat.

It would be a decent stronghold though for awhile I bet, but in the end desperation would lead to its discovery and pillaging.

Have you ever played the game rust? It's a survival game where the world you spawn in is pretty large. It always amazes me how similar people think in survival games. No good spot ever goes undiscovered.

If the islands were not mapped that would be your best bet.

Literally 100% of the time that anywhere in the US outside of the major tech cities gets brought up, the comments are full of people claiming that the inhabitants of those areas are racist, stupid, dangerous, unwelcoming, or otherwise bad and undesirable to be near.

The double-standards on this website are mind boggling, for how casually and openly people will believe negative stereotypes and repeat discriminatory beliefs when the 'out group' is rural, southern, or even just non-coastal.
> Since evidence based policy making became a thing. We use it for deciding when to plant crops, deciding what medical treatments should be broadly implemented, deciding what water treatment methods are acceptable...it's fairly popular.

Thanks for the smug talking down to. :) However your comparison here is ridiculous. We can easily measure crop out comes, water treatment outcomes, and medical outcomes because in the past actual experiments were done that showed what worked and didn't in that situation.

The climate on the other hand is completely different. We don't have a second one to use as a control. The scale is too large to fully factor in all inputs and outputs. It is just not the same at all as the things you mention.

> Plus, your argument is equivalent to playing Russian roulette and claiming that the presence of a bullet somewhere in the gun is not an established fact.

I am not the type to choose security over giving up the personal freedoms and rights of myself and my fellow humans just in case someone's computer model turns out to be accurate.

In any case, your analogy is actually very poor. You can check and be 100% sure if a gun is loaded. You can't check what will happen to the climate in 50 years because it hasn't happened and we don't currently have the knowledge or capability to truly required to truly know what will happen with the climate.
Add net-negative to the list then ;) I bet voters are keen on paying for that.

Regarding Asia: I thought of this at a more global scale. Of course it's pointless cleaning up the pool if the other people at the party using it as a trash dump (but maybe someone has to start).
I am not a historian, only a reader, so my knowledge has plenty of inaccuracies. However, I believe what you are saying for the Neolithic -> Bronze Age transition makes sense in the British Isles and Western Europe, as these are the last remnants of Neolithic society in Europe.

The Bronze Age doesn't begin in Britain until about 2500-2000 BCE. Thats a full thousand years after the Bronze Age had already begun in the Near East and Egypt. So this displacement from more modern (and militarily advanced) cultures makes sense.

The gradual adaptation of bronze that I was referring to was referring to the origins of the Bronze Age in the Fertile Crescent, Egypt, and Greece.
The last time there was a real UI and UX consistency was with Windows 2000 (or ME, if you want to stay on the consumer side). With Windows XP Microsoft introduced themeable controls but instead of making them available to all applications, they used an opt-in mechanism (based on special EXE resources or manifest files) so even nowadays unless you use that mechanism you get the Win2K era of controls.

Even then, with Windows 7 most things were consistent and if you really cared about consistency even with non-themed apps you could always switch to Windows Classic theme (which i always did, not so much because of consistency but also because i just like that theme :-P).

Since Windows 8 with the introduction of Metro/UWP/WinUI/WinWhateverNext consistency was thrown out of the Window, without even trying to pretend otherwise (it isn't a coincidence that the UI guidelines for desktop applications in Microsoft's site still use the Win7 theme).
If anyone is interested, I think part of the issue with why inline code formatting is so hard is related to these two Chromium bugs:

- https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=608393

- https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=608162

If you star/comment on them to increase the understanding for Chrome's team that they are incredibly frustrating that would be amazing!
