>Apple has been building its own hardware from the beginning

do you mean designing? I'm not familiar with any point in time where Apple was building phones, but maybe i'm mistaken.

A quick google search indicates that even the first generation phones were built by Hon Hai.
Google wants to maximize their watch time metrics. Users are less likely to watch a video with many dislikes. If the user watches a bad or unhelpful video, that just means the user will have to watch even more videos to find a good one. :)
My understanding is that's not the case, that the 14 day limit (which I haven't heard about, actually) is for only WFH full time over an extended period.
I got around that by making my ebike out of recycled UPS batteries, and a bicycle I already owned.

That way, the only source of carbon was making the additional drivetrain components.
such a silly branding. Brand it as “the cheapest route” and people will (maybe) use this option.

Hotel towels are white stains are visible. We remove it if it get stained, ripped or stolen.

It depends on the guest how often towel last. Construction crew, or people with makeup, hair dyes stain easily. Local guest (People from the town) also stains more towels.

I probably used more towels during covid compare to previous 2 years.
What we need now is a donation service aggregator.

Any donations for this idea?
Won't the fastest route generally have the lowest carbon footprint anyway? Traveling at high speed on a highway will use less gas/distance than traveling through stop start traffic.
I have read that cyclists who only eat beef generate more CO2 per mile than a hybrid car, though that presumably that ignores all the carbon cost of building cars and car infrastructure. Bikes are still better in pretty much every way.

Food for thought: if every method for predicting event x is terrible, then you might as well not try to predict x and build your life in such way that you never expose yourself to the risk of x happening.
That's pretty wild. The HN submission for this URL was "flagged". I wonder if dang would approve of a second attempt?
That's definitely curious. If the median latency is under 4 hours, does that mean there are lots of people sitting around doing nothing, or working on nothing urgent, so that they can immediately turn around a code review?

But where does that model come from if not from data? We might use some logical principles to inform our model - but don't those principles themselves also ultimately have to be inferred from data about the world?
Keep looking! Linus Åkesson (AKA "LFT") has done A LOT of mind blowing things.

Writing code for the Demoscene? Not good enough. He made his own hardware to run his own demos:

His research into why not all C64's are created equal (and provided a software work around to a hardware flaw) lead to being able to do safe high speed full screen scrolling. And he did it looking at someone else's logic analyzer dump!

> During the COVID crisis, many Americans stated a desire to allocate healthcare according to a notion of value to society that elevates those with high social cachet.

All of the professions you mentioned (except, perhaps, “god knows what”) involve interacting with other people as part of their primary function.

I’m sure you can see the wisdom of allocating the initial tranche of vaccines to “people who do valuable work and are at higher risk of causing community spread while doing so” over “people who do valuable work but can do that valuable work while isolated, thus reducing the risk of community spread”?
You just need hosting. Then, you can embed the video in your own page like JonTron did with NormalBoots.

I await the excuses about how Republicans obstructed their way through a utopian healthcare law while Democrats held the House, Senate, and Vice Presidential powers.

It's the same position the Republicans were in a few years back when they controlled all the same and vowed to repeal ACA, which never happened either.

Both parties thoroughly enjoy the talking points and fundraising opportunities.
Here in New Zealand celebrities and sports people get to the front of the line when it comes government quarantine facility placement.

Not sure if this is money, or just a popularity contest, but it frustrates me more if it is popularity rather than just paying a lot.
> Why does it make a difference whether your wealth is denoted by USD, Bitcoin, milk caps, or Rai Stones? If tanks roll over your capital city and your countrymen are made to kneel in a row, what good is it that you can refuse to give up the private keys?

The soldiers lining up your countrymen and shooting them in the head so they fall into a ditch become the new owners of your countrymen's USD and milk caps, but not their Bitcoin or rai stones. This kind of thing (the "pillaging" part of "raping and pillaging") is historically a major incentive for going to war.

> If tanks roll over your capital city and your countrymen are made to kneel in a row, what good is it that you can refuse to give up the private keys?

If your seed phrase is erased from your brain by a bullet, it probably doesn't do you much good. But it will completely change your life if you manage to escape: a refugee with pockets full of gold is observably different from a destitute pauper; a refugee who has memorized two seed phrases is not observably different from a refugee who has memorized only one. That's the difference between starting a new life as a homeless beggar and buying a country estate to retire on.

> the colossal environmental damage inherent to a Bitcoin-driven world economy

You seem to be begging the question here; why should we expect a Bitcoin-driven world economy to produce colossal environmental damage? Mining Bitcoin with fossil-fuel energy is unprofitable, so we should expect Bitcoin to produce a colossal shift to cheaper renewable energy, which may reverse the colossal environmental damage caused by fossil fuels. Or it may not.
Good videos which end terribly are exceptionally rare.

Dislike mobs do more harm. They probably ignore dislikes already.
At least for cars, it makes little sense because the dominant factor is going to be the time on the road, which they in theory have been trying to minimize already.

Any additional micro-optimizations are going to be fractional.
Though a popular meme, it is false. C has an extensive static type system, requiring programs to be checked and diagnosed. This is quite helpful in catching bugs and refactoring and all that. That type system doesn't encode everything that some people would like, such as preventing a program from retaining and using a pointer to a datum that no longer exists. It allows implicit conversions that some people would like to be explicit (e.g. integer to floating-point and vice versa), but in those situations, the static type of every operand, and of the result, is known and the compiler chooses the conversion accordingly.
>The beauty of HTTP was in it being hyperTEXT

No, HTTP is for TRANSFERRING hypertext. There is no reason that the transfer protocol needs to work in plain text (on top of TCP which isn't plain text either).

Eco-friendly stuff aside, this post makes me feel kind of nauseous. Things like indoor AR directions or having the weather integrated into a maps app are obvious applications of existing technology, but hardly anyone but Google has the resources to make these things happen at scale with nice UX.

So I see features like this and I feel bad that it's Google doing it: the ultimate goal of the technology is not to make the world any better, but to get more eyeballs and exfiltrate more personal data so their advertising monopoly can continue to snowball.

Excellent, innovative, bravo! Unfortunately the vast majority of e-bikes are not DIY'd and so require new batteries for operation.
Electric bicycles are notorious for high rate of injury accidents involving motor vehicles. Injuries tend to be similar to motorcycle/car collisions.
I think in general people only care about what is going to impact them directly. If they already have healthcare, they assume those that don't are doing something wrong or simply just don't care. I have mine, you're on your own.

The reality is quite different and there's so much money to be saved on healthcare long term if we do this.
> Under a public option system, you'd still be able to buy private insurance. No one is banning this.

Yes. The title is rather misleading. It's a valuable criticism of Wilkinson's legend-weaving.

"Teachers hate her: smart student figures out secret hack for early graduation from high school!"

:)

Minimal-requirement/self-directed HS does sound like it could be great for some students.

College courses are also so much better than high school courses in so many ways, particularly the freedom and self-determination you enjoy in terms of selecting or rejecting classes, greater flexibility in time scheduling, and choosing whether or not to attend lectures. Not to mention more advanced material and potentially better teaching, lab, and library resources.

I wonder - do you need a high school diploma to enroll at a community college?
Either way, it was just an example of something I have heard of that people should get every year after a certain age, but are reluctant to go in for.

You can replace that with many other exams or tests, and of course the necessities of any of them are all up for debate.
>"If they break YouTube like they did search ..."

I'm curious what you mean by search being broken? Do you mean the quality of search results or something with search functionality. I ask because lately I've found the quality of certain search results to be increasingly disappointing. I'm not sure if that corresponds to some known change they've made recently though.

Isn’t the title misleading? They are not removing dislikes; they are testing UI without them. Huge difference.
While that is the aim, I don’t find it convincing. Sure, the average person can mine, but the hashrate will be small compared to professionals with tens of thousands of units, purchased at special rates for bulk, with matching low energy rates. Or free energy in the case of botnet operators.

In practice this just degrades to a situation very similar to ASICs, admittedly with the benefit that the hardware has a purpose beyond mining and with multiple (uninterested) manufacturers. In that way it is perhaps more decentralized, while also open to additional vulnerabilities. All in all it’s mostly just a way to differentiate from btc on a theoretical point rather than have any real advantage.
People accept “Medicare for all” just like they accept the most recent “covid relief bill” with $1,400 checks per person. If you get into specifics and start including costs (taxes) into the equation, the popularity falls off a cliff.
I can find only one source claiming it is half that of influenza. The consensus seems to be more like one quarter. And there is some nuance, because the way that influenza mutates is different, and gives it a bigger advantage in evading antibodies. The structure of the coronavirus does not share that property, which is why we haven't yet seen a mutation that can evade vaccination.
Yeah, all I have been able to get here in California is the Everclear 120 (60% ethanol).

I don't need the 190 proof (95%), but it sure would be nice to be able to get some of the 150 (75%). Does anyone know of a source that can ship to CA?

> If I could, I'd usually choose the lowest stress route!

Apple Maps sometimes features alternate routes that are "simpler" or with "fewer turns", which I think is a very nice feature. I'd rather not cut through small side streets just to save 1-2 minutes.
Note that I didn’t state an opinion on the correctness or otherwise of the company’s or employee’s stances, just reminding people that a corporation, at it’s heart, is a mechanism for making money.
I'm sorry, this is is dangerously close to conspiracy theory territory. I am by no means, an apologist for Google, but I seriously doubt they have the ability/resources, or even motivation to manage route planning at such a microscopic level.

I recognize that they have been caught with their pants down with things like altering search results [1], but making broad speculative claims like this about the real world without any substantiation whatsoever is unfair and alarmist.

That is extremely frustrating. Your response was clear, I think, and it just feels like whoever reviewed the review didn't have all the information or willfully ignored it.
I agree it's a barrier for beginners, but I think this is a good barrier, which makes the next, bigger ones, easier to overcome. A step is also a barrier, but I'd rather face more, lower steps than fewer taller ones. By the time you realise neither operators nor functions work at all like functions from programming, the syntax has helped to put your mind in a "this is not programming" mode. Also, || and && are almost universally used in programming languages today, but they weren't thirty years ago, and might not be thirty years from now (Zig doesn't use them and neither does Nim), and even in C, C++, and Rust they have similar but subtly different meaning than | and & involving evaluation, a concept that TLA+ doesn't have -- now there's a more interesting and more important unfamiliar TLA+ thing -- while ∨ and ∧ have been used much longer than that and aren't going anywhere. So every person might prefer something that's already familiar to them, but there is no alternative that's really universal. If you go to Wikipedia -- say, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_connective -- they use
"TLA+ notation," not C notation.

Anyway, there are other, and more important, things in TLA+ that are much less familiar from programming (e.g. there's no evaluation) than how to write logical or, and still TLA+ has been more successful at teaching programmers to specify more complex systems more quickly than any other specification language I'm aware of.

"Healthcare for all" and "single payer healthcare" are two very different things. Most countries still have private health insurance companies, but the government subsidizes healthcare.

The main blocker of doing this in the US is that the focus tends to be on building a single payer state. ~80% of the population already has insurance through private companies, and they're mostly pleased with it.

You are not allowed to be in an NLRB-recognized union if you are any kind of manager or supervisor (I believe the exact legal definition is having hiring and hiring power).
Yeah the only reason The White House YouTube channel receives views right now is because Trump used it to to campaign and it became fairly popular amongst his supporters. It's main audience is still his supporters because most people don't really watch The White House on YouTube.
Because "for all" is generally taken to mean provided by the government, and history has shown that without functioning markets government guarantees are ultimately worth the paper they're printed on. And if we actually had a functioning market, then why does everybody need to go through the government, as opposed to only the people who actually need the financial assistance?

We don't take "food for all" to mean that supermarkets are paid by the government. Rather there is a functioning market for most people, and subsidies to help those who cannot afford it. The competitive market keeps the overhead from getting out of hand and makes it so most people have the autonomy of paying for themselves on the spot, while the government provides a safety net for those who cannot.

Now having said that, the entire healthcare system is presently a dumpster fire. The other side of the aisle has done very little to address this dumpster fire with market based solutions - eg make providers publish full price schedules that are uniform for all payers, issue estimates for all non-emergency care, prohibit providers billing arbitrary amounts post-facto, and strongly punish any fraudulent billing. Such reforms could certainly exist alongside increased access to health "insurance", but that political team has been mostly spreading FUD to keep the status quo rather than proposing solutions. Meanwhile Medicare is actually pretty good, it seems that Medicare For All is the only train leaving our current situation, and it therefore makes sense to get on it.
Yeah this is sort of the problem with equal outcome. Even the people who get the roles complain that they feel like they didn’t get it because of their skill.

People fear that we won't be able to afford the demand of everyone expecting to get what they get now with luxury plans plus everybody else under or uninsured getting more than before. Also, a lot of people's livelihoods directly come from the healthcare for profit system, and there haven't been serious proposals for how to transition that workforce, and a lot of pension and private retirement equity is also bound up in the profits of these companies.
That sounds great.

This option is something that should be publicized more widely, and perhaps even encouraged by junior colleges.

I think students in California would greatly benefit from 1) knowing that there are multiple educational options and 2) having the freedom to choose among them.
Vinyl record sales in 2020 surpassed CDs for the first time since the 1980s:

"Vinyl records accounted for $232.1 million of music sales in the first half of the year, compared to CDs, which brought in only $129.9 million. ... Since 2005, sales for vinyl have grown consecutively. In the first half of 2020, vinyl revenue was up 4%, while CD revenue was down 48%, according to the RIAA."

There is some merit to that argument, because we have artificially constrained the supply of doctors in order to sustain their high salaries. Perverse is a polite word for the situation.

Expat here, that's not how it works. You have two options when you live/work in another country:

Exclude up to about $100k of your foreign income from US taxes -- after that you still pay US taxes, and at the rate you would have paid if you were paying from the first dollar, meaning if you make $130K, you don't pay US taxes as if you made $30K, you pay the difference between the taxes on $130K and the taxes on $100K.

Deduct whatever you pay in foreign taxes from your US taxes, dollar for dollar.

The US is almost the only country that does this. All of my co-workers from Israel, Ukraine, India, and many other places pay generally no taxes in their home countries.
