Basically, the legacy establishment media is complaining about the new establishment social media.

Same thing as the the obsolete horse and buggy industry complaining about the automobiles taking up all the street space and causing traffic.

The establishment media got big, fat and lazy with their monopoly and selling limited ad space.

When the ads space became infinite in the web, they didn’t innovate and pivot to web technologies.

Google and Facebook innovated web technologies and leveraged their tools to filter and target valuable audience attention space.

The establishment media is obsolete and no amount of complaining is going to change the dynamic of the web. All they can do is talk about their high school glory days of scoring 5 touchdowns in high school championship game.

Fuck robinhood I hope they are bankrupted.

A company with zero integrity.

I lost a huge amount of money that day.

I don’t mind losing fair and square .... make a bad call, lose the dough, pay the price - that’s the deal.

I’m even ok with losing for reasons I don’t understand due to the concealed rigged nature of the markets.

But losing my money on the same day that robinhood manipulates the market openly and publicly really felt unfair.

I’d be most pleased if they went from pending 50 billion IPO to ZIPPO. Nothing for the founder and nothing for the investors. I hate this company.

And remember if you’re considering opening an account with robinhood what you personally might lose by putting your money with them.

It also depends on the subject. For instance, there's an ex journalist in my country pulling in €20K/month on Patreon by making videos on corruption in the country. It resonates well with the audience which doesn't seem to be able to get similar content from the newspapers/TV channels. There are some random writings on Substack,but there are also those that aren't covered much in more popular media, which leaves a gap and some writers are happy to fill it.
One more point: the exported data in markdown (and maybe in json too) is lossy. It's not just that the you can't use it out of the box, but that significant parts of it are missing as well.

The opposite actually. The Real interest rate is the nominal rate minus inflation. So negative inflation of, say, 2% pa, effectively adds 2% of real interest to any loan, since 100k of principal today will be worth ~111k in 5 years’ time. In response lenders and central banks are likely to decrease interest rates as, firstly, the money is appreciating in real terms anyway and, secondly, the appreciating value of money makes it harder for debtors to repay debt, so people won’t be able to afford high interest loans. Compare that with high inflation periods where repaying the principal gets easier, since the 100k you borrowed five years ago is only worth ~90k in today’s money (with 2% inflation).

A lot of western economies experienced the inflation side of the equation in recent history - see the 70s/80s in the us, when both the inflation rate and interest rate were very high. In reality the Real interest rate is generally less variable than either inflation or nominal rates.

Ask HN: Has anyone had any luck claiming a Google knowledge panel?
A while ago I createad a reasonably popular video game. It's available for free on my website, but if you Google it, the Google Knowledge Panel attributes it not to me but to an unrelated spam site full of ads.

I've tried going through what appears to be the official channel:

I clicked "Claim this Knowledge Panel", filled out the form, affixed a photo of myself holding photo ID, and waited.

A reply came back after a few months: "we need additional verification that explains your business relationship with <game name>".

My conversation with Google Support, edited for brevity:

Me: "OK, what verification should I send?"

Google: "Could you please elaborate on your question"

Me: "No problem, what information do you need that I haven’t provided yet?"

Google: "please return to your knowledge panel and click “Claim this knowledge panel” to fill out the form."

Me: "I've already done that. You asked for 'additional verification' and I don't know what that is."

Google: "We couldn’t find any latest verification request or submission from your end. Please resubmit your verification form once again."

Me: "Okay, I'll fill out the form again. What extra verification should I include this time?"

Google: "Support Survey: How was your support experience?"

Has anyone successfully gone through this process? What do they want?

If it helps, you can think of 'tuples' as data, and 'shape' as structure. Then your code is structured around 'data structures' returned by functions.
The strategy is different, and clear though. First monopolize contents, then censor. It seemed impossible to do in the web when it bloomed. Compared with tv, it was a difficult beast to tame. But free resources, convenience and having all your contacts captive work as a charm.
The picture labeled "wind carved rock" is interesting. If the atmospheric pressure is 610 pascals or 0.088 psi (less than 1%) earth pressure, how could any wind be powerful enough to carve a rock? Does the wind blow 600-1200 mph on Mars?

Don't answer as the question is rhetorical.

Air pressure that thin would require winds several hundred MPH just to kick up fine dust particles, well before we get to erosion of rock.

With such low air pressure a human would barely feel a 300 MPH wind gust. In that low air pressure a parachute would be useless unless it is 2000 feet in diameter.

A rocket would need 100x the thrust to get the same acceleration or deceleration, as per Newton's law, 100x less resistance means an object in motion plummeting toward the surface would tend to remain plummeting. Remember why they tell you meteors meet resistance and burn up entering Earth's atmosphere? The reverse would be true of a object plummeting through atmosphere of only 610 pascals. 100x more thrust would be necessary to slow the descent to compensate for the lack of atmosphere and the density differential.

Did NASA think of any of the actual physics before they served you this fake Mars landing cartoon? You're hackers. You know how to do math. This is 8th grade physics to see the scam being served up here as scientific exploration.

I suppose if grifters had a 70 million dollar per week budget they might be tempted to produce what was paid for, even if they had to fake it.

Everything shown to you in these Mars landing videos is consistent with parachuting into Earth's atmosphere, not an atmosphere 100x thinner. That parachute would drop almost as fast as a rocket. Remember the falling feather and cannonball in a vacuum analogy?

You're being played. NASA is just a division of Hollywood. Yes, the world is that messed up. And yes the military industrial complex is that shady.

Enjoy your cartoons!
> Hacker News threads are filled with users arguing that they gladly pay a lot just to avoid advertising.

True, and I did before. I had a subscription to Ars Technica and a few other sites like Tweakers in the Netherlands (a big local tech site).

But, what I found lately was that these tech platforms were alienating me. They're trying to reach a wider audience and as such are delivering much less of interest to me. Much less 'deep dives' than before and more 'phoned in' articles and press release copy/pastes. And in the case of Tweakers are still delivering trackers like Google Analytics and Scorecard Research even to paid subscribers. Both sites also changing their design to be more visual and thus reducing content on the screen, which forces even more scrolling to see everything.

So I actually dropped my subscriptions. I still have the lowest tier with Tweakers but they're dropping that soon so I won't renew. I still adblock anyway because I don't want to be tracked (and yes I know it's not fully effective).

It just feels like every site wants to grow too big and widen their audience. They're no longer happy with being a small niche outfit, which waters down their value to me.

I notice this especially because of Hacker News. Because it's still a niche site. Every day I find a few 'pearls' here that I don't see anywhere else. Whereas the other sites are forcing me to dredge through crap I'm not interested in with less and less interesting pieces in between.

> I feel like Toyota is wasting its money.

I think Toyota is effectively leveraging government subsidies; part of that is putting some of the technology in cars, but that's not necessarily where the big win for the tech is.

> Maybe I'm missing something. I don't ever see hydrogen fuel cells gaining traction for a few reasons:

Fuel cells already have traction in larger and stationary applications (less so much in autos, but Toyota has another solution for that market), and while less efficient than pumped hydroelectric, hydrogen is already the most cost effective energy storage medium for the electrical grid.

For cars, Toyota is plans to introduce a solid-state battery prototype this year and have them in general use early this decade (VW and Nissan have similar plans, but are a few years behind.)
The numbers being tossed around for these are something like 50%-100% higher energy density than current batteries, and vehicle charge times in the 15-minute range.

Toyota is a big enough company to have been doing more than one thing at a time.

I'm actually not asking this tongue and cheek but do fuel cells weigh significantly less when they are empty? I would think that a hydrogen fuel cell would functionally weigh the same empty or full, so itd be the same issue as batteries, no?

"Being driven down to zero I think means people would lend at 0% interest "

Banks can't get rid of reserves at the central bank in aggregate. They can only get rid of them to other banks. So there is no need for the central bank to pay them.

You can't hold reserves so the bank can charge you for borrowing money.

Since there are more reserves than required, and no alternative source of interest, the inter bank rate would be driven to zero.

How do you think central bank rates bind? It gives banks an alternative source of interest other than lending them to each other.
10/10 satire
More snark? Presumably people are referring to the active attempt to make someone suffer consequences as canceling too. for example the electrician who got fired would still be described as a victim even if he later got his job back. Though boycotts do have material consequences depending how many people participate. I understand the number of people was greater than zero in this case.
Also, most social status systems developed organically from networks of trust, common experiences and mutually held values at a micro level like within a family, town, school, religious group, etc.

Comparing that organic system of social appraisal with anything like a mass scale surveillance social credit system, or international communications censoring organization like ICANN, is deeply unreasonable. It is clearly not the same thing, and centralized control of reputation by a government arguably poses huge totalitarian risks with zero offsetting benefits for citizens.
I guess every public internet policy should now include a clause such as "We reserve the right to not do any business with you if we don't like you, regardless of any other provision of the policy".

At least, it will be honest.

PS. Variations may include: "...if we don't like you OR we don't like anyone you like...".

Well, if this is real and it isn't just released into the atmosphere, seems to be a good deal.

Anyway, and a bit offtopic, is carbon or $gas capture from atmosphere there yet? Why is it not widely used, because of costs, tech, scaling problems?

It seems to me that it solves the problem of controlling all the pipeline. If you can just capture gasses out of the atmosphere, suddenly you found a workaround for leaks, other countries not complying, ICEs, etc.
Banks can't get rid of reserves at the central bank in aggregate. They can only get rid of them to other banks. So there is no need for the central bank to pay them.

Since there are always more reserves than required, and no alternative source of interest, the inter bank rate would be driven to zero by supply and demand. That's then the 'market rate'.

You can't hold reserves so the bank can charge you extra for borrowing money. Only banks can get zero.

How do you think central bank rates bind? It gives banks an alternative source of interest other than lending them to each other.

My opinion on the Power Platform is:

- Canvas apps: worth it only for very simple applications that interact with another MS datastore (Sharepoint, CDS/Dataverse) and services. If you mostly need to interact with custom APIs, a simple custom webapp is probably a safer choice.

- Power Automate: stick to very simple flows, take advantage of the connectors but avoid at all cost complex business logic within the flow itself

- Model-driven apps: more interesting in my opinion. They effectively are mini-instances of Dynamics CRM, and you get A LOT of functionality out of the box. You can't tune the UI much, but you get the benefit to build an "interactive database" very quickly, with support for RBAC system, OData REST APIs, Views, Workflows, C# plugins, dashboards. If you need an internal application, used only by a few people (licensing), where you need an interactive data-store without complex requirements on business logic and custom UIs, then I think Model-driven apps can be terribly effective. Now, if only the licensing wasn't so damn complicated...
