What? Most video content is exclusive to a single platform already? If you think HBO, Disney+, Netflix originals, etc., are too expensive, you don't have other options there either in paying less from someone else. Why should you expect to be able to do so??

If anything YouTube is the most open platform by far, because the vast majority of the content on there is owned by the creators, not YouTube, and thus it could be on other platforms, in a way that will never happen with the paid streaming services. Indeed this is even happening with CuriosityStream.

It's more complicated than this. You design a desktop version of the site in Wix, and it automatically generates a mobile version. Some widgets like image galleries and lists are responsive, but they have hardcoded rules.

So, it's not a fully responsive templates, but they are good enough for most websites.
I'm also a Tesla skeptic, but when it comes to the core business of making electric cars that people want to buy they are clearly delivering. Other companies are simply not competitive yet.

While other companies made electric cars over the last few years, they were compliance vehicles that were not intended to have mass market appeal. For example, until recently these vehicles have looked aggressively different vs the conservative, simple designs of the Model S or 3.

Even today, directly competing vehicles tend to have worse price, range, or features (especially in the automation space).

Show HN: Firefox Container Default Pages
Except no organism is born a blank slate. Parent is correct in that our prior was massively expensive to construct
Yeah but we already coordinate economic activity with big banks and everything, Paypal etc. But the energy cost per transaction is way way less, right?
With current discussions on HN about Firefox containers, I figured it’s a good time to share my recently released extension for Firefox containers called “Container Default Pages”.

As the name suggests, it lets you assign a default page for each container. Similar to how you have a homepage for your browser, you now have one for each container.

The primary use case is the following. When you have a container dedicated to say, YouTube, it makes sense that when you open a new tab in your ‘YouTube Container’ it should go directly to YouTube. Of course you can open other things but the extension provides a convenient default behavior.

A plus is that the extension doesn’t ask for permissions and it’s lightweight. You just do the easy setup of assigning default pages to your containers, then it becomes a natural part of your workflow. Please try and let me know what you think.

Some background info about Firefox containers for those unfamiliar:

Firefox containers allow you to create different environments in your browser. The basic functionality is built in Firefox. There are extensions that makes using them more convenient. For example, the Facebook Container extension [0] isolates Facebook and its subdomains and forces it to open in that container. There’s also the Multi-Account-Containers [1] which gives you more power by managing multiple containers. Unlike Facebook Container, it’s not preset up. You need to create the containers for the websites you need. But it’s nice in that it gives features that can work for all websites, such as directing websites to certain containers.

I disagree. Not that the vdom is an implementation detail. But to me, the fact that there is an immediate-mode rendering API for the web is far more notable than "Components" take the place of HTML elements.

Everything interesting & notable about components relates to the fact that they are immediate-mode things. Nothing else is particularly notable or interesting or important about them, has parity with what HTML Elements did/do.

Regardless of intent or deliberation, this, to me, is the clear & obvious technical difference that underpins whatever goals the team thought they were shooting for. It's the major characterization of how React was different from other webdev we'd tried. Everything else is downstream of that specific choice, for how to "draw" HTML: immediate-mode.

The current system is a separate neural network running against every frame of every one of the 8 cameras. The new one is what elon calls the "4D" image processing. It uses all cameras to create a composite 3d representation where the 4th dimension is time. One of the things they use this for is to predict where an object will be in the future.

I don't mean to insult or claim you're not thinking thoroughly or clearly, but this appears to me to be gross oversimplification of several deep topics wrt developing new technologies, the mission to advance the advent of sustainable energy and transport, and founding billion-dollar companies.

Also I think it's intellectually dishonest to claim you would be incapable of your perceived level of dishonesty, because you yourself are selling the idea that it's dishonest based on these gross oversimplifications.
What's your baseline? While there are theoretically more secure alternatives to using a password managers, the vast majority of people don't have the discipline or skill to implement them effectively.

Password managers make security tradeoffs, providing a nice balance of convenience and defense against many of the most important attack vectors.

So while it of course possible to come up with basically endless possible attack vectors for password managers (and indeed all software), it is most likely not a productive exercise.

Also, a small tangent, but if someone compromises the play store and is able to install malicious software on your phone, there are plenty of ways for tmem to get your password that don't involve password managers.
But it’s not. There is a claim that this is true for India but N=1 is not very generalizable. It’s also not clear why we should believe that a rev-share model both brings in more gov revenue but also somehow prevents the TelCos from being overburdened. The source it linked to is paywalled.

I've worked for and with Meg. She's brilliant. She's a very good manager when it comes to taking a successful business and making it a lot more successful.

She's not so good at taking something that is new or failing and making it good. She definitely made eBay much bigger than it would have been without her, but it was already successful and growing when she joined. She ran HPE into the ground because it was already failing.

She didn't succeed with Quibi because she doesn't know about how to find market fit.
How bizarre that I desperately try to contain these monsters in digital cages, keeping them on a VPN leash, carefully adding plugins, trying to maintain delicate balance. Sometimes I try too hard, the monsters are offended, throw errors, hide the contents away. Sometimes I miss something, and they devour my privacy bit by bit, unnoticed. I spend sleepless nights scouring the internet for new codes, secret browser options, complex combinations of obscure settings.

And when I finally fall asleep, I dream of internet without the monsters.

Around half of the shows are pirated at least, let's hope someone saves the rest before closure.
Yeah, it's unclear whether those 5 and 7MW figures quoted are electricity production or just heat energy.

Not to imply that "just heat energy" is useless -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_heating is the term for using waste industrial heat to heat up homes in the surrounding areas. More common in Europe and Canada than the US I believe.

Cogeneration is when the concept is used specifically by electricity plants. It's used mostly in places that have need to generate their own electricity and heating like college and hospital campuses -- by harvesting the waste heat for another localized purpose, it becomes cheaper than relying solely on the grid.
Probably because most people choose to study what comes easy to them.
The original Ford Fusion Hybrid was a fantastic car. Not exciting like a Tesla and not nearly as expensive. But it drove just like the ICE version of the car but got a LOT better mileage. But to the other posters point, for people who want to display "green" status it probably didnt deliver because it wasn't meant to.

Having someone in my life who I could easily see falling into the bucket we are labeling “ignorant and/or apathetic”, I’d say there could also be less cynical reasons why people fall into this trap.

Might it be fair to also assume that anxiety, depression, and a general sense of hopelessness against a system you’ve maybe been treated unfairly by in the past might have something to do with why people miss court dates? I doubt that most of them just don’t care.

We 100% need to fix the larger dark patterns at play in the criminal justice system. We also need to not pretend that text message nudges are all we need here. But it’s possible some help from the system rather than feeling like it’s engineered for you to fail is a small step. And it isn’t fair to assume the worst of people who likely have pretty difficult life circumstances weighing them down.

That is not the reason because if it were, there would be Switzerland-sized bits of the US with Swiss-esque rail service, and there are not. For example, LA County is more populous and five times as dense as Switzerland, but has essentially no rail service of which to boast. It's just a land use choice we are making: we can either have compact urban forms easily served by rail, or distributed forms that are impossible to serve.
Also just blatantly stealing show ideas from YouTube creators instead of just... you know, hiring that YouTube channel to do something they've been doing for a decade (https://twitter.com/E_I_T/status/1247221678712619008). Even the damn title of the series and aesthetics are exactly the same.

Also the idea of dropping one episode every week. Imagine being invested in some story and only receiving 8-10 min of it every week. That's twice as short as any TV show out there, not to mention Netflix releasing entire seasons at once.

Also preventing users from taking screenshots, which is just stupid. It just helps if people share your content to other people.

> Better buy a RPi4 with a NAS Hat

Do you know of such a HAT that does USB-attached SCSI Protocol correctly and reliably, and passes through SMART reporting without meddling, and doesn't inappropriately spin down the disks under its control? I wouldn't mind bookmarking such a thing if it exists.

I considered the RPi for a recent NAS build, but I didn't want the higher CPU load imposed by a USB-to-SATA bridge (as compared to native/PCIe SATA), nor did I want to play chipset roulette looking for a SATA bridge free from the problems I mentioned above.

I ended up using a RockPro64 with a Marvell 88SE9235 PCIe SATA card. It works well, and boots mainline Debian with no vendor blobs. Assuming the electronics don't wear out, I expect it will continue to run fully-updated linux for a long time to come.

>so, so foreign as a Canadian

Canada, as a whole, is an absolute rip-off. There is virtually nothing you can point to in the country and remark that it's a good deal when compared to the prices offered in America or most areas of Europe.

High food costs, high booze costs, high communications costs, high transport costs, high taxes etc., combined with low salaries, is incredibly bleak.
Fully agreed. I really want the low end SBC market to start dabbling in some expandability. This S905X3 chip has one port that multiplexes PCIe OR USB3 on it, & they use it for SATA, & I can't wait for these SoC systems to start offering just a little more high speed connectivity, please.

Marvell's EspressoBin[1] was a great board, because it was small, easy to power, easy to plug a drive into, had space for wifi, had decent ethernet. So much goodness built in, at a great price point. Please all, more ambition on the I/O front!

I'd be outraged if I was a New York tax payer and read that. Fuck handouts for people who can't even exert a modicum of responsibility.
It's not regulation, it's price. According to Consumer Reports, electric cars are cheaper than gas on a TCO basis, but the initial sticker shock is still a barrier here in North America. European subsidies and regulation mean that the price difference is much smaller there and sales have exploded.

If battery price reductions continue, price parity will eventually come in North America even without subsidies, so we should see a similar explosion here.
I think you misunderstood the point of deep double descent. The x-axis is not number of training epochs, it is model capacity.

> and with that cash still in the bank they could take all their learnings from the initial launch and do a hard pivot.

Honestly, thank god they didn't. Sure, I think pivots sometimes make sense, but I think they realized at this point that all the money they put in was sunk cost, and they're really nowhere closer to when they started, and in fact it's probably easier to start anew if they even wanted to with a lower cost base. Better to call it quits and save their dough.
I agree the Accord hybrid lacked the proper street cred to sell well. The pitch for a Prius was green points and fuel savings, but when you do the math the fuel savings is insubstantial and the green points were offset by the general feeling of driving a cheap cooler. (I remember finding the acceleration in my 4 cylinder Camry thrilling after 5 miles test driving a Prius.) Oh, and that "benefit" came at the cost of added mechanical complexity and upfront investment.

However, I didn't see many outside the liberal left coast crowd virtue signaling with their hybrids.

But that's not the case with Tesla. Of the Tesla owners I know, the majority also own companies and environmentally agnostic.

The only Prius owner I know personally was fresh out of college working an entry level sales job.

Oh, and as for the driving experience of a Tesla, performance models are quite literally quicker than many roller coasters. You might try driving a performance Model S sometime to experience the surprise first hand.

I assume you haven't, because very few Tesla skeptics have.
Equating MDD with low/no-code feels like classic tool tunnel vision, with confusion on one particular notion of How for the broader Who/What/Why.

-- Who/What/Why: From a design perspective, Low-Code means productivity for someone like a BI Analyst who will jump crazy hoops to stay in a UI + SQL and never go deeper, while No-Code is not-even-SQL. It's not even that clear cut in practice: Even if a no-code UI allows visual coding, many users will still consider that "someone else's job" for most of their work.

-- How: Whether it's MDD, neural nets, program synthesis, or the latest VC-fueled JS-is-the-new-VB dumpster fire ready to implode, it's the devs who care, not the user.

Interestingly, as soon as you appreciate the constraints of the Who/What/Why, new implementation dimensions open up for the How. We're picking our own pieces for the How part of no/low-code (rejected the MDD + JS approaches), but IMO just as important, working through design considerations for the social & collaborative nature of code, esp. as it enters team/org/OSS/etc. scenarios. It's sort of like, all social networks are basically the same from 10K ft, but it's not easy getting the design decision right of how 140 characters for dense broadcast x AI-mediated voting will define a successful niche like 'community newsfeed for between tasks on your laptop + on-the-go'.

Edit: Historical note on the How - MDD is from a fun era when folks were figuring out domain-specific workbench tools and what becomes possible with them. While some of that is continuing even today (esp. in Europe!), most R&D here has largely advanced to program synthesis (esp. via SAT/SMT), and much more nascent, via neural nets. That's far out enough that I can count on my fingers how many startups are here, vs more VB/Excel/Hypercard-in-JS
Conversely I see the tipping point fast approaching for electric cars, but not necessarily for Tesla.

The fact that one electric car manufacturer has been successful means that the infrastructure and support for electric cars gets built out. This takes away the largest entrenched advantage that gas powered cars have. The first mover in electric cars has to push against the enormous headwind of charging stations/battery costs/regulations/repair services etc... The fact that Tesla succeeded despite this, shows me that the bend of the hockey stick is fast approaching.

You are correct that there is only a limited pool of 'status buyers', and that most cars are bought by people who just want an appliance. However the status buyers only need to carry things far enough for battery prices to fall, and charging stations to become normalized. Once that happens it is easy to see the best option for 'John Smith business commuter' is an electric car. However, those buyers won't pay for a premium nameplate.
> Linux is 15+M lines of code....But at only 9,000 lines, Unix v6 was tractable, people continued to study it (and maybe still do), and the famous comment lived on.

> Reading real programs is a part of learning computer science that should be emphasized more. As an undergraduate, we mostly programmed in BCPL, a local Cambridge language that is the fore-runner of C and C++. We had access to the full source code of the compiler and reading it was as valuable as the more theoretical aspects we learned in our compiler-writing course. Today, with open source, it is easy to read the source code for many systems actually in use (Linux, the Apache web server, Hadoop, TensorFlow, and thousands more) but these are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lines of code. As I said above, Linux is somewhere between 15M and 20M lines of code, depending on just what you include.

This is an interesting problem. Modern software is so huge and complicated that it's not feasible to go read it just as a learning exercise. Linux devs can probably spend years contributing to the project without having even visited all of its dark corners, much less understanding them.

Not sure what can be done. Though I am tempted to go see what a 9,000 line OS looks like.
