Cool product! I am a Linux user, so that is not quite for me. But almost!

I was just bummed that target display mode was removed in 2012. The last Mac I owned voluntarily had it, and the one I have now just sort of ended up in my hands. Now it is just an amazing display I don't really want to use since I can't run a proper OS on it without ruining the Mac os experience for my wife.

This is a good point. One potential workaround for this is to implement something usenet style where a whole corpus would be downloaded to your device and then you'd just load all the data locally. Of course only a small fraction of content would be available this way which has it's own set of biases.
Jeff Bezos' employees could also invest in those companies if the wealth were better distributed. With the current model yes, Bezos invests in companies that pay wages, but he's the one seeing compounding returns... by comparison the workers who do the majority of the work get peanuts.

I'd be interested to see what an alternative reality America would look like if Amazon were employee-owned.

You do also have situations where companies like Alphabet and Apple are absurdly cash-rich to the point that it's actually problematic for everyone involved.

Apple owns your operating system, your hardware. It sells networking devices, printers, misc. peripherals. It offers service as software replacements, for email, file hosting, navigation, speech recognition. Apple has a marketplace for software. It has a marketplace for books. It has a marketplace for multimedia entertainment. It has its own tv. You can handcuff an apple device to your wrist, and let them own your watch, your voice, your fingerprints. Get your head out of the sand.

Back in the mid-2000s there was a huge policy, PR, and financing push to have a nuclear renaissance. Lots of plans were made. Economics were ignored (and honestly should have been ignored because the worst case nuclear cost is still cheaper than climate change).

After that huge push, we have nothing to show for it except for a tiny number of half-finished, over-budget, behind schedule construction projects, and a toooooon of abandoned projects. The UK can't even find somebody to build their projects anymore.

Hope has turned towards these small reactors, after the failure to build big reactors--despite immensely favorable regulatory, finance, and PR settings. I don't know of local opposition to a single reactor! At least not enough to cause a stir.

Thousands of small reactors won't be enough, and we won't be able to build thousands for another 10-20 years. So we are instead stuck with renewables and storage. And just like we were right to throw experimental money at nuclear in the mid-2000s when we didn't really believe the numbers, I think we are far better grounded to throw equal billions of dollars (at least $40B in the US) at storage projects that the industry currently disregards.

We have far better pricing data for storage, it's deployable within a year, and it has massive benefits. And investing now will decrease the cost more quickly.

Throw several billion each at more speculative storage techs like flow chemistries and cryogenic air storage, and then the rest at standard, shipping, off the shelf lithium ion. We will see massive industries come into formation whose economic productivity and value dwarfs the tiny $40B we spent on kickstarting it. This will work, without a doubt. Nuclear may or may not work, it remains to be seen.
The upper value of 12acres/hr for $150/hr translates into $12,5/acre, which isn't too far off for an emerging technology if the value is accurate.
Based on a Google search, we produce 10,000 tons of 'High Level' nuclear waste every year. This is far more than the total annual lift capacity of all launch providers combined.

For context, it would require 71 Saturn V launches every year just to get that tonnage up to Low Earth Orbit!
Is Apple Watch available on any prepaid plans yet? I'd love to use the cellular model for its intended purpose of reducing phone use but there seems to be no affordable options, at least in the US. E.g. the prepaid T-Mobile Connect plan costs $25/mo, whereas the cheapest postpaid plan with T-Mobile that includes the watch surcharge comes out to $60-70/mo and is on worse terms.
If they attempt to enforce 3.13(d), Pelton, et al, will file complaints with regulators in days. That change was clearly intended to advantage Apple (i.e., first party) products over third party competitors.

At this point, it's only a matter of time before Apple gets broken up or severely sanctioned (more likely the latter), and it will be entirely their own fault.
This is a little hobby project I'm working on, and I'm really proud of how it turned out.

Mirage is a lighthearted, social, easy to learn roleplaying game, focused on storytelling, improvisation, imagination and creativity. Your goal is to make up and play out a fun story. You will go on adventures, complete quests, find treasure, slay dragons, and gain awesome powers.

Mirage is made for the people who, like me, enjoy the social/creative aspects of Dungeons and Dragons, but don’t like the countless arguments over the intricate rules, the painfully slow combat encounters, and all the tedious arithmetics.

It’s perfect for people who want to get started with roleplaying but have no experience, and it’s great for getting your non-gamer friends or kids into RPGs. It’s great for improvisers and storytellers who want to focus on playing a fun long-form improv game, without the complicated rules getting in the way.

The rules are very simple, but deep and interesting enough for the experienced players to play over a long period of time.

Players can create a character and begin playing in 15 minutes. For GMs we have a collection of adventures that are easy to prepare and run: https://rpgadventures.io

You can play it in-person or over discord. It's super fun, and I hope you guys enjoy it!
My hunch is that you are not Apple's target audience. They are fairly happy targeting specific users that are into their ecosystem.
We're implementing the extra trees algorithm at the moment, an isolation forest is only a small amount of code from there.

You can not reach a developed industrial capacity without protecting your industries. That's true for Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and the USA. The historical examples are clear (1).

If you open your markets without restriction, before you have a developed industry your industry will die.

Of course, once your industry it's developed, your best strategy is to be a champion of free trade.

All second source AMD (and other manufacturer) chips were pin-compatible with Intel chips. Compare the i386/am386, the i486/am486, etc. Even a few non-second source (e.g. the unique uArchs that came later) designs were still pin-compatible, such as the 5x86 and K6/K6-II/K6-III. In fact, the third parties were the first to break away from electrical compatibility with their Super Socket 7 motherboards.

Intel did change sockets as a means to disallow socket-compatibility; forcing consumers into their architecture if they bought their motherboard, but that had no effect on AMD's development. AMD had purchased a significant share of DEC's engineering portfolio and, along with it, their employees. Those employees then developed the K7 (Athlon) architecture around some of the Alpha's technological advantages, which included HyperTransport, a multi-issue FPU (fixing one of the major issues AMD had struggled with and bringing them ahead of Intel), etc.
Pandemic isn't going to last forever.

I agree that it's bad timing. But where I live, the gyms are open, and I see personal trainers working with clients every time I go.

This doesn't compete with personal trainers or in-person gym classes, not really. As indicated elsewhere, it competes with Peloton and YouTube, and where Peloton is concerned, I'd expect them to be announcing an integrating pretty soon.
The 30% cut did not artificially inflate the competitiveness of Apple's product vs its competitors.

Ask HN: Resources for Adwords / Facebook Ads?
My SaaS company (it's a fintech for wealth management) has got to the point where we're growing pretty fast through direct sales, but I'd like to complement that with some Google / Facebook ads. However, it seems really hard to find good resources on getting up to speed at the founder level. (There's certainly a lot of low-quality clickbait, but I'm looking for something with a more analytical/engineer approach.) Are there any resources you would recommend I check out?

It kind of did. I'm writing this on a handheld computer running a Unix-like multitasking operating system.
Just bite the bullet, take the month it will take to get used to Emacs and jump in.
Yeah I'm in the same boat. Strongly prefer Apple Music over Spotify and am already paying for iCloud. I'm on a $99/year annual subscription for Apple Music though, so this would come out to around $5 more a month for me ($8.25/mo for music and $0.99/mo for iCloud vs. $14.95 for Apple One). Not sure if they'll provide something similar for this once it launches.

It's crazy how stingy Apple is with iCloud storage though. 50 GB for a paid upgrade? Apple hasn't sold an iPhone with that little storage in years.
Lots of short-sighted and defeatist comments about software here, at HN no less. You'd think it was 1995. :D

Newsflash: FLOSS applications are now best of breed, good-enough, or approaching it in every common area. Ubuntu Mate, Firefox, LibreOffice, Postgres, FreeCAD, Python, Audacity, Inkscape, Blender, VLC, Scribus, the list goes on.[1]

All great for students. All used extensively in various industries. All very helpful if you need to learn another package later. We should be learning concepts in grade-schools anyway, not WFW 3.11, right?

Support is available for purchase, as are developers. Think ahead five years, where we could be if a fraction of the torrents of money sent to Bezos, Gates, Brinn, and Page was redirected to these packages instead. FLOSS always gives more options, not fewer.

Android, iOS, and the Web finally broke the Wintel stranglehold, yet most commenters seemingly unaware. Learning MS Office no longer means what it used to either, as it changes every year.

Most regular folks just use Google Docs and don't have a need for 90% of the advanced features anyway. Certainly not students. Kids are very flexible, not rigid geriatrics.

The fact that some niches are not yet served adequately is immaterial. Proprietary options like Zoom work fine on Linux. Kid uses it every day. That some projects are merely Open Source rather than Free Software is irrelevant in the short term as well. Sorry RMS.

The process is a journey, and we don't have to arrive 100% today, or ever for the effort to be worthwhile. Let's get started now. /End of rant :D

It's really very simple to understand, even if you think it's wrong.

Soda, juice, etc. were sold in bottles which normalized it.

Then people wanted to be healthier and so putting water in a bottle at events/meetings felt like providing a healthy choice to people, directly next to the unhealthy choices. Plus the water in small bottles could be kept cold in ice more easily. Also sparkling water already needed to be in bottles, so it seems even more natural to have still water next to it in the same way too.

People in some parts of the country also realized the bottled water tasted better than their local highly chlorinated tap water. (Other parts of the country there's no difference.)

The industry didn't even have to convince anyone. It's genuinely consumer-led.

And refillable containers have their own disadvantages. It's not always easy to lug one around the office as you juggle your laptop and documents and phone, or you forget it in another conference room, etc. It's easy to keep in a backpack, but people aren't usually lugging their backpack to every meeting or to the cafeteria.

I'm not defending single-use water bottles... but sometimes I do wonder if all the materials+energy spent on refillable bottles has actually turned into a huge net loss, as so many of them go unused, lost or thrown out long before they'd achieve a net positive.
You must have either bought some kind of fancy 6x6 or something. A standard 6x6 is actually 5 1/2 on each side, same as a 2x6 width.
yes, I double checked it. I see an indie hackers link as my most recent and an Ask HN as my second.
> Guice is one that only recently got the nasty (but relatively harmless) warning you get when using it with Java 11 under control.

Personally I've dropped guice and just stick to Weld anymore since it's the reference implementation of the standard. I haven't had any problems running it on JDK 14.
One could argue that everyone has the same responsibilities to society at large. Thus for every Chuck Feeny and Bill Gates, you, personally you, have an obligation to create many billion dollars of value and give it away. If you don't do that, you're worse than any evil billionaire you care to name. They at least are paying millions of dollars in taxes for any money they pull out of investments. How many millions in taxes have you paid?
> This is a very Christian way of looking at donations: personal sacrifice / self-deprivation is what matters.

I don't think it's what matters necessarily, but I do think that this is why he is receiving praise here and elsewhere. That's a problem, because if we're going to praise him for his sacrifice, we should remind ourselves that his sacrifice is minor compared to other donations due to the nonlinear effect of money.

Now Feeney certainly has had more of an impact, and that's great, but he had that impact because he was fortunate enough to have billions of dollars to give away in the first place. Being lucky is not a valid reason to be praised, I think.

Indeed I don't think Feeney wants to be praised: he just wants to be rid of his wealth in a meaningful way.

I'm not sure why people are down voting. Adam Smith would agree with you BrainInAJar.

Maybe HackerNews needs to read some Adam Smith.
To be fair, cultures have characteristics and people should be permitted by their peers to talk about those characteristics in a thoughtful way.

I'm not familiar with what the other guy is describing, nor do I have any opinion on this particular topic. I'm just saying that "people of X culture tend to do Y thing more than the average person" is not in itself a hateful or disrespectful comment.
Everything you list here is considered a feature by the customers it's marketed to.

It turns out that there is very little scope to relax the axioms: for almost any voting scheme, there are circumstances where you do better by not voting your true preferences.

See the Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem.

Pretty much the only scheme that avoids this is "choose a voter at random and elect the candidate they like best".
> The reason is that this act adds to the polarization of this country.

Taking a position in favor of a candidate is not hate. Democracy is powered by civic engagement. People who professionally write bear a joint responsibility to be civic, to make cases, explain them.
Not enough to live on the passive income even in the cheapest parts of the globe.

Why do you think that is the right metric? 3.4T is obviously a vast amount of money.
I tend to pass out easily from strenuous cardio exercise (I’m bad at knowing my limits when it comes to cardio. Just about passed out ten minutes ago because I pushed too hard on a treadmill/rower cycle. This is why I prefer gradual, predictable weightlifting, a challenge during the pandemic but that’s it’s own story).

Having metrics like heart rate, calories burned, and time remaining would show me clearly where my body is in addition to how I physically feel on screen which could be a huge help for me. Add factors like sleep tracking and I have an even better idea of how much I can push myself before I workout.

Unrelated with this announcement: there’s a lot of value to an Apple One bundle now (Apple TV, Music, Arcade, Fitness, News) but I have too much brand loyalty to Spotify to switch to Apple Music and feel like I would hurt publishers by using Apple News instead of keeping my individual news subscriptions.

On the other hand, if they offered free 2-day shipping with Apple Pay for Apple One subscribers at a bunch of premium retailers and bump up the price, you’ve got the first competitor to Amazon Prime.
That's totally expected behavior to me.

I would expect to use something like Moment.addDate(date1, 5, 'days') if I wanted a new instance of a date to be returned.

Even in javascript-land, methods like that will have side-effects, yet still return this often just for the sake of method chaining. E.g. date.add(5, 'days).format("%Y-%m-%d") would mutate date, but return the same instance as a convenience.
The metal (steel, aluminum, etc) used in new cars didn't exist 10 years ago. From first principles, making steel is easy. Making stainless steel, figuring out when to add additives and what those additives should be, is harder. Doing it at scale, in quantity, cheaply, and safely, taking all aspects into consideration is dramatically harder, and if you dump the expertise now, and then have to restart from first principles 10 years from now, then you're multiple decades behind the competition.

Geopolitical considerations may mean there's a business advantage to having it made in China as opposed to elsewhere, but as we've seen with the US pandemic response, there are sectors where it's just plain stupid to believe that expertise can be summoned up as needed, and that it's somehow cheaper not to pay for it in the interim. Government isn't a household, and you can't restart having expertise like canceling Netflix for a few months.

Tech companies aren't charitable foundations designed to help developers. They're businesses. They aim to maximise profit. If they can lower wage costs of course they'll do it.

I suspect this is just the beginning of the move away from the Bay Area. Give it twenty years and small offices and remote workers distributed across the country will be very normal. Wages (and Bay Area house prices) will reflect that.
As a parent: That's pretty weird..
I can almost imagine a clawback clause on salaries for products that don't launch. Haha
Ask HN: Is there an OS-level screen reader that blocks distractions?
> Seems like that was by design.

Yup. Even Adam Smith talked about this, it helps propel the capitalist system.
It’s not surprise, but anger that companies with skyrocket valuations are looking to cut costs this badly.
I don’t ask anything of any people of color. I am surprised you would use your privilege to assume I am not black.
That's an argument for them using it, but it's also basically arguing why nobody else should.
I've worked in Britain and what I noticed was that working class Brits consider themselves apart from the "posh" middle class and of course, the upper class.

They seem to think they will be working class for the rest of their lives and there's noticeable hate/resent for the rich.

Being an immigrant, I didn't notice any of this stuff. I didn't notice the dismissive polite attitude, I thought it was just politeness. You know, when someone wealthier talks to you, they're polite but there's subtle signals that they consider you "inferior".

I only saw the opportunities, of which there are plenty. I didn't see classes, I just saw that it is possible to go from working class to upper class, much easier than in most other EU countries.

I did start noticing these "subtle signals" after a year and a half or so, but honestly I just decided to ignore them. Since I would always be a foreigner, people would just cut me some slack for not understanding stuff (this also happens in Japan afaik).

Clothes play an important role, surprisingly (OK, maybe not that surprising). If you're in dirty workwear and a hi-vis vest, you're pretty much considered bottom of the barrel. With the right clothes, you can turn into anything from a "chav" or a middle class manager to a millionaire (though you also need the attitude - no slouching, make eye contact, etc).

Just some of my thoughts.
phoronix.com is the one I remember. I keep buying the premium subscription every year since then, and I often pay full price even when it's on sale.

I also bought some merch from youtube channels like PBS Space Time.
> Further, I find the animation experience of my whole world changing in front of me when I go to a different workspace to be incredibly distracting

What kind of animation does your OS use? For me, on Gnome, the transition is instantaneous (no animation). Switching between workspaces is snappy.

Also, if you change tabs in your browser, then you also have "the whole world changing in front of you". I'm curious what exactly makes a virtual desktop not pleasant to use for you.
I don't know of a company doing this, but a group of awesome developers does this in the GraphQL + TypeScript Open Source Libraries space with great success (As in useful libs, I don't know how they do economically but prob great or fine!)

It's actually called the-guild.dev, they just don't promote much I think.

They're the creators of GraphQL Modules, graphql-tools, graphql-code-generator etc...

I'm also a small contributor to an Authentication/User management library called AccountsJS https://www.accountsjs.com/ (Which uses gql-modules) under the hood, and the-guild members are active contributors too (although not exclusively)

I would love to some day become a good enough developer to be part of that team/org/guild!
No.

"Single-use" plastic is often used for a long time, longer than "eco" alternatives like paper bags that simply don't do the job well enough to be reused.

Glass and paper are horrible alternatives (for the environment) if not recycled properly (and they aren't, like plastic).
