I have never seen yogurt in non-plastic containers in the US. There are tiny single-serving sugary yogurts in glass cups now, but that's all we get.

That's true for a lot of products in the US. The "invisible hand" has no options.
I see many people here trying to explain why/how some other non-similar products are better.

Well, it's a first of a kind thing. You cannot say that MacBook Pro (which I love and use) is better/worse/cheaper.

You pay for innovation. I am pretty sure they'll be sold out as well.
I mean, marketing's my background so I get that. But you see small brands like Pine64 and System76 doing it for specific types of (often generalised OEM, "off the shelf") hardware.

If they can pull it off for more sophisticated integrated solutions like phones, tablets and laptops, I'd have thought that a TV brand would be even easier.

Surely buying a commodity panel off of an existing OEM would negate a lot of the legal issues, and going DTC to the kinds of people who are specifically looking for a dumb TV is quite a decent niche to market to?
My argument was that bleeping doesn't prevent the damage, because there is an implication that a slur was said. Full removal or full replacement does.
Well, it is kind of a tech demo. It's one of the first products based on foldable screen technology, launched to try out the market. Chances are people will find interesting uses for it, and then Lenovo can cater to those uses.

But I think it's wrong to see this as a replacement for a laptop. It's more big tablet than tiny laptop, I think. If you're not interested in the tablet functionality, then this isn't for you. I think the biggest problem is that it's a bit thick. If it was closer to tablet thickness, it would be more useful.

Both private institutions and the government are student loan lenders in the US. The government also guarantees a lot of private loans.

It's good to clarify which lenders you're referring to when you say "Education lenders are dangerous predators". Do you think that the Federal government is enabling private lenders by guaranteeing their loans?
I have an LG. I never connected it to the internet, but it still has a built-in, always-on, no-way-to-disable wireless access point that pollutes the wireless channel it broadcasts on.
HN should take down this post. The country has been heavily polarized into two sections (pro-bjp and against-bjp) with both the sections heavily incentivised by the "IT" deptt of respective political parties.

If I can access a copy - either on AWS S3 or anywhere else - and make a verbatim copy or cache it for myself, I wouldn't call that centralized.

Having one of publicly accessible copies on AWS S3 doesn't make the data centralized.
Disable the TV's network connection. Or if you really need it connected, decline as many of the ToS & privacy agreements as possible
It's absolutely certain. I'm in the market for new, high-end OLED or equivalent TV. There is no way in hell I'm ever buying a Samsung, under any circumstances, ever.

Their corporate executives clearly have no ethics whatsoever.

But that's not the only problem. My coworkers have been to Samsung's headquarters and worked on their core IT infrastructure. They both rattled off an endless horror show of security lapses and outright violations of common sense that would make your eyes pop out of your head.

There is zero chance that your data is "safe" with Samsung. None. They will get hacked. They're almost certainly hacked already, and don't know it. Or they know it and simply don't care.
Why are your software developers doing "network IT maintenance and infrastructure" in the first place? Is it because of "DevOps" maybe?

It's one thing to experience the sysadmin practise getting taken over by developers. The next thing is usually the latter needing to be "freed" from this burden... Seems like a big fad.

I honestly don't care that much about kids buying booze. The "think of the children" argument also typically leads me to be suspicious of the motives of those that make it. Kids are going to drink if they want to; I didn't because I chose to do otherwise, not because I couldn't.
I'm curious how many people pay extra for no Kindle ads.

I originally bought Kindles without ads, but for my third Kindle I decided to buy it with ads to see how bad they were. You can pay the extra later to get rid of ads, so if it turns out buying the version with ads was a mistake it is easy to fix it.

I don't see the sleep screen except briefly between the time I open the cover and the time the Kindle wakes up. I'm rarely on the home screen. I do almost all book shopping on my computer rather than on my Kindle. Thus I almost never actually see an ad, and when I do it is almost always not interfering with what I'm there to do.

The few ads that I do briefly see in those rare times I'm not in a book or in my library are static images without sound. For the sleep screen it is usually an ad for a book and the image is the book cover, which is often actually nice to look at.

After actually seeing the ads, I now feel like I wasted my money buying the ad-free versions for my first two Kindles.

>[…] the ability to drop XML components into the middle of text, thereby allowing for markup and nesting of elements in text.

Is that “allowing” for markup, or is it exactly what an Extensible Markup Language was intended and designed to do? I wouldn’t expect a JavaScript Object Notation to be able to do that ergonomically.

XML’s design as a markup language, and not an object or config language, is clear even in that example. The first character of the contents of `tag` is newline.

Germany also has strong unions across its blue collar workforce which provides a political and social base for the apprenticeship system.

What happened to just buying a "normal" TV? No internet needed or anything?

Seems dumb. Seeing this link has already made me to decide I actually won't buy a Samsung tv. I'll just get something else.

If we truly go the road of the dodo, I'll just make a side business rewiring "smart" tvs.
Can someone with 1st hand experience reassure me I would be able to use a commercial digital signage as a TV??

From what I learned so far the difficulties are:
[please also correct me on these]

- stand is not included (need to buy that separately / do a wall mount)

- hard to find a seller

- prices are higher than for equivalent consumer TVs

- brightness is higher -> more power consumption

- there is no antenna (terrestial DVB-T/T2, satellite input) so you have to drive content from USB or PC / Raspberry / xxxCast dongle

The benefit is that you get a "dumb" panel with no spying, ads, software taking snapshots of what you watch. The TV is then also designed to last more hours - commercial panels are on 20h/day.
Flexible OLED can’t fold flat anyway so there’s gap, and keyboard fits there.

We built an alternative to IPFS called Skynet that attempts to solve a couple of the major issues with IPFS. The biggest one being data durability and uptime.

On Skynet, pinning doesn't mean hosting the file from your machine, it means paying a bunch of service providers to host the file for you. When you pin content to Skynet, you can turn off your computer 5 minutes later and the data will still be available globally. Just like IPFS, data is content-addressed and anyone can choose to re-pin the content.

Service providers are held to 95% uptime each, which means doing something like 10-of-30 erasure coding can get you 99.99% uptime on the file as a whole. The low uptime requirement for individual providers dramatically cuts costs and allows amateurs to be providers on the network. The erasure coding algorithms ensure data availability despite a relatively unreliable physical layer.

The other problem Skynet set out to solve is performance. In our experience with IPFS, if you aren't talking directly to a node that's pinning the content, IPFS is very slow. We've heard stories of lookups taking greater than 10 minutes for data that isn't pinned on a major gateway.

Skynet uses a point-to-point protocol rather than a DHT, which not only makes it faster, it's also more robust to abuse. DHTs are pretty famously fragile to things like DDoS and active subversion, and Skynet has been designed to be robust and high performance even when malicious actors are trying to interrupt the network.

Other than that, we've tried to make sure Skynet has feature parity to IPFS. Content-addressed data, support for building DAGs, support for running applications and static web pages, and then we've added a couple of elements of our own, such as APIs that allow applications and web pages to upload directly to Skynet from within the application.

That's a ridiculously harsh viewpoint on a named individual.

For my money, he's probably one of the most insightful writers on technology in the field.

FWIW, I have been on HN since way before this, and found him to be an insightful commenter here also.

If it's mostly reading something or media consumption on the move, even an 11 inch screen is good enough. I'd rather have an iPad pro or the new Air. Granted the iPad OS is sort of restrictive and still doesn't allow any interpreters or compilers etc. But it's still very functional and compact. But that's just me. Although I must admit that the higher end Lenovo laptops are very well built.

Open source plus distributed p2p file sharing is the killer combo. I don't get why public stuff like NPM, DEB or Docker registries haven't switched to use it as primary way of distribution.

P2P, such as IPFS and recently BitTorrent 2.0 with its hash tree per file, is the only free (as beer and speech) reliable way to host things online forever - at least as long there is the last of the veterans who keeps a copy and seeds it.

I have a very large file with lots of 1s and 0s in it, you can have them for free. If you want them ordered and that ordering takes me a year or so then I expect to be paid. Knowledge and experience are the result of an investment in time and effort on account of the person with the knowledge. They usually expect some kind of return on that investment unless it was done for hobby purposes.

This is the same problem that TFA glosses over.

From the article:

> Having everything searchable makes it super easy for a) newcomers that can simply scroll back, and b) old timers such as me that forget and can also simply scroll back.

The (false) implication being that in the 40 years we've had email, no one's worked out how to archive and index it.

Worse, the disingenuous use of the word 'simply' here.

For some years I've put effort into my comms to avoid the words 'simply', 'just', and similar whenever describing a task I wish upon someone else.

It devalues the time, effort, and complexity that I'm demanding of someone else, by assuming the task I'm pushing onto them is trivial.

In this case, trying to comprehend context, let alone nuance, from an instant interruption log, is a massive cognitive load. Timing / pace is completely lost when reviewing a big wall of short and sharp exchanges between multiple people.

Compare and contrast reading an email thread where people aren't battling to be first / fast - but rather, to be coherent, concise, cogent, and considerate in their correspondence.
Yeah, this is completely inaccurate, as other comments are also saying. Indeed, PhDs are shorter in Europe, but getting a PhD in 2 years is not just uncommon, but next to impossible. Credible universities won't even let you defend that early (bar exceptional circumstances). Never mind 3 years, most students go well into their 4th (occasionally 5th) year to finish. The difference with the US being that in Europe the funding typically runs out after 3/4 years, so after that students have to "improvise".

No. But the upper middle class from which most of HN's inhabitants come could more easily be ignorant of it back then.

I don't think the charity provided air ambulances in the UK have winches. They would have to call in a coast guard or military helicopter for that.

It sounds like this organisation would like to have more capability in house.

Although, I'm not sure if the extra capability would be worth the risks from flying an experimental jetsuit...
The first really widespread use of early helicopters in any capacity was as air ambulances for the US military during the Korean War.
Anecdote, I’m down to 190lbs from nearly 230 about 4 months ago and IF has been an amazing tool to aid me in reduced caloric intake.

Honestly I think just having a routine was a big help but eliminating the time (after 8PM for me) that I’d most frequently snack on junk food made a huge difference.

For anyone looking for an iOS app to help track, fast habit is what I use and gladly paid the one time upgrade price. It has a few bugs related to adjusting inputs that annoy me but overall the app does help. In my case I think the biggest benefit to tracking the cycles is the constant commitments involved in “checking in”.

YMMV but for me, having a routine and making commitments were big factors in getting me to stick to the plan. I still eat some junk food to stay sane (took my family out for ice cream just last weekend) but generally I find it easier to pass on unhealthy food when I’m able to understand the disruption it can have on the progress I’m already enjoying.

TLDR: it works for me and feels sustainable, if you’ve struggled with weight loss then I’d suggest at least trying a few weeks.
When I bought my LG TV a few years back it did the same. The ads were mostly for apps you can download on the LG app store (so no yoghurts or anything). But they were still annoying enough for me to look into the DNS queries the TV does and block some of them. In case it's useful for some of you, here's what I found out and ended up blocking:

- vcfd1.giraffic.net, vcfd2.giraffic.net: adaptive Video acceleration (seems to be used for internet TV)
- GB.lgtvsdp.com, ngfts.lge.com: don't know what this does.
- GB.ibs.lgappstv.com: needed to download apps and updates
- snu.lge.com: used to check for software updates?
- lgtvonline.lge.com: likely for the TV recommendations feature that remembers what you watch and gives you recommendations based on it
- GB.info.lgsmartad.com: ads
- yahoo.com: no idea why the TV needs to talk to yahoo. Blocked.
- facebook.com: why!? Blocked.
The pi-hole will be bypassed by hard-to-kill DNS-over-HTTPS, however.

> What annoys me about google though, isn’t the personalised advertising, it’s the personalised results.

That's true. It's almost subconscious for me now go incognito prior to searching or visiting a website if it's something I'm aware that I'm only temporarily interested in, in order to avoid it becoming part of my profile.

I don't think personalisation is a completely bad idea, but I would like to have some way to interface with it.

Hello! Hyperproduction was my MS thesis. I can answer questions if you'd like. It's a fairly simple platform based on Node/Electron and focuses only on control automation rather than any type of "renderer" such as audio or video outputs. Furthermore, it was primarily developed in rehearsals for various productions, so it's quite rough around the edges and serves as a working toolkit for a few of us who find ourselves doing a lot of interactive performance design. Looking at Ossia, I think a fundamental philosophical difference is that Hyperproduction focuses less on being a "score" and more on mapping and completely flexible interconnection. It's a simple forward propagation network. Although there are many processing blocks, there isn't currently any enforced typing along "noodles," which means that it's a somewhat difficult environment to train new users on. You need to have a basic understanding of what all the blocks do and what types of input and output they take before really getting going.

If you would like to see some of the productions we put together, you can check out my dissertation here: https://ben.ai/research
