There's a large difference, one of those is based on a pyramid scheme with no inherent value, and one is based on a company delivering value to customers.

With the state of the stock market companies can and do go under, but generally those doing something for people dont magically disappear overnight (like any crypto certainly can.)

That's it; that's the difference.
are they just positioning the App Store to be even more ad friendly?
SpaceX has a green light from the FAA to fly Starship on Friday
I am with you. I am ditching Roku for the new Apple TV. The performance of Roku has always been bad, particularly for Plex, but it also has a terrible app ecosystem now.

The competitive advantage for Roku was that they were able to be app agnostic.

For those of us who are unaware, can you briefly summarize? I'm somewhat averse to googling it.
Hah nothing like a good all day event that just blends into the night. Or next level, a night that blends into the morning. But so true about the sleep. Guess it's good because it makes you only go all in for the really special ones.

Good to know, might have to try and hit this summer during a euro-jaunt if they're open. Only thing I've seen so far is Dimensions Festival in croatia. Looks decent, although a bit commercial.
For a maritime island nation famous for importing and trading spices from India, their food is also really unadventurous. :D No offense intended.
Plenty of people are making some amount of money with NFTs that's more grounded in reality. I'm one of them. My NFTs sell for a couple hundred bucks and it's wonderful. There are probably hundreds or thousands of artists like me. We are not "art world" artists or big name "NFT" artists, but just folks that found a sales channel for our creative output.
You didn't even try Pipewire!?

:D
> The same big insurance companies provide these plans, but have to actually conform to Medicare guidelines of not screwing people

It's more like the providers have to conform to the Medicare pricing, instead of screwing the payers. This is why we need single pricer. Simply put into Medicare pricing agreements that the provider cannot charge anyone more than they charge Medicare or Medicaid. Not only does it avoid the price gouging of the uninsured and privately insured, it also ends the whole concept of out of network. Very few providers can survive without Medicare funds.
Or food, sadly.
What's the difference between the front page and the classic view? I didn't know about this.

>I spend more of my downvotes on distracting reddit-style comments than on incorrect posts. Is my change in downvoting behavior contributing to the decline?

I don't think so. I can't downvote yet, but that's how I imagine I'll use the feature too. It warms my heart seeing most "reddit-style" (I'd argue some are twitter-style too) comments so heavily downvoted, as they are usually the exact opposite of thoughtful. It's nice to know, or at least feel like, there is a silent majority of users here that can stick to the rules even when a thread gets super divisive.
As we can see in this case, there's apparently lots of pressure from service providers not to be just a dumb, neutral piece of hardware. And, in my opinion, the control that streaming services have over hardware can be traced back to DRM anti-circumvention laws. The fact that it's illegal to build hardware that controverts dumb restrictions mandated by the streaming services by breaking their DRM means that hardware manufacturers. will risk being cut off by streaming services.
This is absolutely wrong. Labs in all the largest cities in the US, simply stopped accepting samples for anything other than COVID. Source: wife is RN working as triage nurse and interacting daily with the largest testing sites in NY, CA, NJ, IL, etc.etc.etc.
This is a super coherent argument. Well done.
I can empathise with both sides. 30% is too high and Apple have costs and want to make money.

But my question is: if apple are to be running the App Store at cost are devs okay to pay for their apps? Let’s say you have a free app but now you have to pay a fee for App Store maintenance and that would be on every download and every app update. Are developers actually ok with that? Is that a fee that the users will bear?

Honestly not looking to pick a fight just asking on opinions.
> "0.7x compression" cannot, I think, be misunderstood

FWIW I'm not sure what your intended meaning is here. I interpret it to mean that the file got bigger.
It’s not just apps, drivers and OS basics are key too. I tried half a dozen times to switch to Linux as a daily driver.

I gave up the last attempt because two things happened: someone out there pushed a bad update that crashed my GUI for no readily apparent rhyme or reason, and I could not for the life of me get my scanner to work.

Now if I wanted to have 17 CPUs or hook a HAM radio into it or do something truly weird, Linux was the way to go.

But I just wanted my computer to (a) not break and (b) do the basics smoothly.
Ha! Even though Notarizing was released in 2018, it's still too soon to discuss for me....

Try packaging a python interpreter with a ton of .so's and .dylibs with your .app and see how much hair you have left!
>Yeah, that's the excuse, but seems like every batch is small-run, limited release, exclusive collectors edition, but somehow more and more stock keeps coming back over time.

I can all but guarantee you that fancy custom keycaps are rarely going to be done in runs big enough to have the economies of scale drive down the cost of tooling. Particularly with double shots and the like, those molds are extremely expensive. I don’t doubt that the products are luxury priced, but I think you might be surprised by what the costs are here.

In the past decade I have politely declined to answer leetcode style questions in interviews. I’ll offer to discuss how to solve coding problems in general terms, and I’ll happily whiteboard diagram solutions, but I will not code on a whiteboard or on a computer set up for the purpose in an interview.

While interviewers are initially surprised at my unwillingness to answer such questions, it often starts a short discussion about interview practices, and my observations about fantastic high-performing colleagues who have been passed over because they failed at interview coding challenges.

Thus far I haven’t lost an opportunity by declining to do coding exercises. In contrast, the couple of times I’ve played the leetcode game, I’ve lost the opportunity despite doing very well in the other interview phases.

I realize I have an advantage of being in this business for 30 years, having a lengthy and robust CV, and having been a hiring manager who can talk about my own experiences of being the interviewer rather than the interviewee.
Instagram Realizes It Had a Clubhouse in Its Heart All Along
I dont get it at all, but thats because it has always been claimed that a digital copy is not the same as stealing, say an originally hand painted - not exactly reproducable oil painting...

So exactly, aside from may bragging rights, does a tokenized digital "original" mean. Are they checking the file creation date?

Must the original be in the original file-format it was created in (meaning a .psd, .ai, .dwg etc) file?

I just dont understand the value.
I just had a stupid, weird notion:

File systems dedupe now, right? IIRC, per storage block.

What if linkers aligned dependencies to the storage block boundaries?

Then let the file system find and dedupe those libraries.

A bit like applying the alignment of data structures in memory (to optimize performance) at the expense of size inefficiency.
FWIW, the author seems to be German speaking and in the German version of macOS, Apple actually uses "malware" in their notarization popup instead of the German equivalent of "malicious software" (de: bösartige software).

I think it's very possible that the author changed his os language to take the screenshots suitable for an international audience and did not immediately notice the slight difference in wording.
If you're already in the Apple ecosystem, sharing the screen with devices/laptops is also super easy with the Apple TV device.
Plex to chromecast works great for me
GOOG folks, FB is recruiting stressing on "remote". Call a recruiter today!
Despite what people say Apple TV on its own is fine. Yes you’ll miss out on keyboard entry but I wouldn’t call that a dealbreaker at all. Mine pretty much runs as it’s own device.
same with other tech like WebRTC. Till this day Apple has hobbled the WebRTC so much that Zoom, Teams etc are reliant on native apps.

Atleast EU are about to punish these for anti-competetive behaviour
Novelkeys NK65 entry edition is ~$100 and is another great alternative for someone looking for a great experience.
Well, yeah.

You can spend 3 years getting a bunch of disinterested people to agree or spend $3M and get it done. The ability to get the $3M is exec endorsement of the alpha bureaucrat.
Based on the bell curve centering around 10%-20% average returns, I'd say that returns from the stock market are pretty average.
As the article mentions, the use of the new blue pigment was a critical part of the image's immediate success and ubiquity. Obviously the image needed to be great to maintain it's popularity, but many hugely popular historic art pieces have some "shiny new" element that gives them that initial boost.
Awful in what respects?

I was under the impression that it was sort of like Harvard: lots of applications, but a good chunk of those denied could have just have easily been accepted if there was space

You seem to have experience with their hiring and I have none (only applying) so I have much more faith in what you're saying than my preconceived ideas.
>Now "right to repair" includes not only designing devices to be easier to repair but also includes legacy software support? Where do we draw this line? If your M1 dies, you can't fab one yourself.

Or maybe unlocking the bootloader?

>Now the author has shifted "right to repair" to mean mandatory device support and design requirements around repair-ability.

It's part of the conversation on planned obsolescence but you're right that's not strictly part of right to repair.

But these companies have been crowing about sustainability for a while now for PR purposes - now they may be legislated to actually provide sustainability in terms of product support and repairability.
CEO of Flightfox here. We still absolutely use both technology and humans (that will always underpin our value prop), but we moved from the previous competitive crowdsourced model to a one-on-one model. The short story is that travel search benefits more from depth rather than breadth (at least at the expert level). With multiple travel hackers working at once, they can only invest $fee/n-hackers worth of time and there is a ton of overlap. With a single hacker, they receive all of the $fee and can dig deeper and deeper to uncover better results. The crowdsourced approach was definitely more interesting to consumers, but the results were inferior, especially on the customer service side. Now, we’re actually transitioning behind the scenes from a one-on-one to a collaborative model, which is bringing us new benefits, but requires more systemization.

Today, we target corporate travel, but we still work with individuals; you just need to click the Get Started button and we ask if you’re an individual after that. This pivot of sorts came from the fact we can deliver significantly more value to corporate customers (more customer value = more conversions, retention, referrals = better business & happier team). Consumer travelers typically only want the lowest price. If their “price to beat” is on a low-cost-carrier, we can rarely help. That becomes a dissatisfied customer despite us explaining “we’re here to help with your next trip”. Corporate travelers have greater requirements such as convenience, comfort, miles, hotels, perks, expertise, emergency response, off-site planning, large groups… the list goes on. With consumer travel, we were using a small subset of our tech and expertise; with corporate travel, we use everything and constantly need to expand our tech and expertise.

Hope that explains everything. Happy to answer any specifics about finding travel deals, since that’s what we do every day for 1000s of customers.
Cryptocurrencies are basically stocks in nothing.
Hah savage Sven. To keep it going that long you need a cool crowd and an interesting setup imo... otherwise it's just moreso an "unnaturally" fueled marathon.

I've only done a true marathon (50+ hours without rest) one time in my life in Detroit. No doubt it aged me substantially lol.
Let’s hope they don’t upgrade the difficulty to that level. It’s already 2 in 45 minutes.
A bit of a tangent, but I'm really surprised one of the android vendors hasn't focused on the niche of easy to repair phones. Maybe even making them four or five times the thickness of the latest i-sung devices. extra hot swappable batteries and the like.

I know the ostensible reasons waterproofing, planned obsolescence, looking cool, and being light weight. Though I suspect the real reason is they're just chasing the big players and are afraid to be different. It just doesn't make sense to me from a business perspective, if you know you can't compete in the general market, why not carve out a smaller market and serve that one well. An example of this is the Jitterbug phone.
> Wrist rests are actually one of the leading causes of RSI due to the extra compression stress they place upon the carpal tunnel.

Can you speak more to this? I bought a ZSA Moonlander[0], which has built in (tho removable) wrist rests. I bought the keyboard specifically for ergonomics, mechanical keyboard "coolness" was far down the list.

I used to get wrist pain typing directly on my MBP, with my laptop on my lap (shitty setup due to COVID, am fixing now). I would be resting my wrist right on the hard edge of the MBP. Since getting the moonlander, I've had no wrist pains.

I am from a poor background and I did the same thing. There was more important stuff to worry about than Leets. I'm only focusing on it because I'm already successful now and just want to take things to the next level and get "better" work.
the point is to remind folks that if you want to invest in the market safely, use index funds...otherwise, enjoy gambling
I feel like most of the best Twitter users use long form threads. I've only just started following these kind of accounts but the information they add to the platform has been incredible.
Australia is hard if you're not in Asia. 8hr time differences are doable, but super annoying. I used to do Asia in the morning and California in the evening, and that's really tough.

A lot more work than you think can be done remotely though, especially if you can get people together 2-3 times per year. You need good people, but then you always did.

The market is less competitive in a lot of places, which means that you can get much better people than you could otherwise afford.

That being said, it is much much much less effective for mentoring and training junior people, which is a massive concern for full remote.
I think navigation would be a problem with a PWA. I have only used the Google maps app so I am not really sure what other options are out there. Fdroid has OSM app that seems useable, but it wouldn't be a PWA.

I think bank apps would be a big thing as well. PWA do not allow you to takr pictures of checks.
> I find IP based mail blacklist services such as BRBL obsolete and possibly harmful. Now that we have domain verification services like DKIM SPF etc. Blacklist the domain.

SPF and DKIM require opt-in by the sending domain, of which the majority of non-commercial non-US outgoing MTAs do not do. IP-based blocklists, including Spamhaus PSBL Mailspike etc, are all valuable to catch IP addresses that should not be directly connecting to your MTA. I agree that signing up for an outgoing MTA service such as Sendgrid makes some IP-based checks obsolete but that's not where the majority of spam is coming from. Botnets continue to be the number one source of junk email and will likely continue as we add more and more insecure doorbells, garage openers, refrigerators, etc, to our home networks.
Why not google too? They do the same thing. How about Sony? Microsoft? They steal way more revenue from developers. Why does everyone have a hard on for taking down Apple?

Cloud storage startup Wasabi nabs $112M, plans new datacenters
Fair point. If the decision was actually about broad productivity, and management was able to make a clear-eyed judgment about that, you'd hope they would reveal the data they used, so people didn't just assume it was a petty control issue. I think a lot of people would assume that's what it was actually about.

Some ammunition for the opposition: this HBR article indicates that companies who managed the transition to remote work the best increased their productivity during the pandemic. So, a question I'd want to ask if my hypothetical boss said "back to the office everybody!" would be why we hadn't been able to adapt as well as the best of our competitors, and why we didn't want to learn from them and get that productivity boost.

When you form a student-led committee on anti-bullying but mysteriously exclude all the victims, the bullied kids will beg and plead you to reconsider and listen to their voices instead. Not because everyone else's opinions are invalid, but because they are the ones who can speak the clearest about issues that others are blind to.

I'm playing along with your analogy here, but I actually think it's a terribly weak analogy. Racial discrimination is often so ingrained in the culture that its perpetrators aren't always hulking bullies menacingly taking lunch money from people. They are more dangerous because they often see themselves as kind, empathetic and intelligent - often believing that they can detect and solve deeply complex, emotion-rooted problems such as racial discrimination simply by thinking about it for a bit when it's convenient for them. They can't fathom that the experience of the discriminated may be so vastly different than their imagination permits, simply because they haven't experienced it firsthand.

Too many of us have been silenced and told to shut up both explicitly and implicitly. When it comes to racial discrimination, we will not go unheard. In this instance, in this matter, our voices do weigh much more than yours and that's simply the fact you'll have to live with.
> Moderate rules are probably the best way to start.

These changes almost never happen. Whatever change you put the first time is likely the only change that will happen. Starting off with a compromise for fear of 'getting it wrong' is the easiest way to make sure you get it wrong.
Ever Plugged a USB in Wrong? Of Course You Have. Here's Why (2019)
I'm not very happy with the quality of the article, overall. It seems useful for a consumer, but obvious, and old-hat, to HN denizens.

HN submissions are supposed to be "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity", but we've seen dozens of right-to-repair articles by now, and this doesn't bring anything substantially new to the table (unlike the top previous submissions https://hn.algolia.com/?q=right+to+repair).
The "you can embed the program in itself" is, as far as I know, the main reason why a true proof of this is rather complicated, there's a bit of technicality involved in order to be able to show that.
happy squoosh user here. It's my go to image compressor for png/jpeg. I've tried many compressors but it performs well overall.

I hope google team also add support for GIF compression, currently I'm using https://gifcompressor.com

Also, it would be convenient if there's a native Windows client which gives the option to select and compress images using context menu itself.

Any chance you could add Azure support as well? Perhaps there is something particular that is making that harder?
I totally agree. Membrane keyboards are 100% fine. In fact, back in the 90s I was a bit turned off by the cacophonous IBM keyboards and considered the shift toward rubber domes as a luxury. We've come full circle.
This is always what I think of when I think of cryptocurrencies.

You're not parking your money somewhere, you're giving it to someone else. Every time you buy BTC someone else is getting paid. Money goes in circles.
Having to get any Apple code signing key for regular users is a barrier of entry for malware. However low it is, it is there. Moreover, it gives Apple the power to revoke certificates in the future to at least attempt to contain further malware activity.

Is it really that hard to get your code signed as a malware developer? No, not at all. Is that worth bothering developers so much? Maybe not. Is it a power grab? Probably. Does that together make notarization useless for security? No, not really.

Notarization is just a step in the chain. It disincentives malware, especially trivial malware (which is the largest quantity and the most relevant for the bulk of the users) by tipping the economics of it slightly less in the malware developer's favor. It does this at the cost of also tipping economics less in regular developer's favor. You may disagree whether or not that's worth it (and I might be inclined to share that opinion), but that doesn't make notarization useless from a security perspective.

Ask HN: Back end for workshop-conducting organization
I am part of a volunteer-run non-profit that conducts workshops across a dozen countries countries, both online and offline.

What is a good way to store data about the workshops we did, who attended each workshop, in what capacity, who was awarded diplomas, etc?

We want to move away from online spreadsheets, or free (as in beer) software. We do have a server, on which we can install some software. But we want a minimal hassle system that gets the job done, so we can concentrate on our real goals.
> Since this is an EU case, that should mean it'll actually do something

Are you joking, right?

Below is the quote from the linked article:

> The EU ruled in 2016 that Apple had to repay 13 billion euros ($15.7 billion) in unpaid taxes to the Irish government, after the latter granted “undue tax benefits.” Apple and the Irish government have contested the decision and the case is still in court.

I believe there is going to be many years, many meetings, dinners, salaries, bonuses funnelled out, and in my opinion, also money changing hands under a table, before anything really happens.
EU is all sizzle without the steak.
I commend you for your integrity. However the exceptions are a rounding error in terms of market cap, because today's tech industry is all about creating addicts and profiting from their addiction directly or selling access to them to a third party. Sometimes both. It's not a coincidence that we're one of only two industries that refers to customers as users.
Those articles are about the content aggregation feature of the "Google TV" app.

The Netflix app has been working the entire time on the "Chromecast with Google TV" device, which is what cprecioso recommended.
