I'm looking to build a taxi hailing app. Here are a list of the screens I need built:

1. The home screen (which will load the next screen upon pressing the home button on the phone)

Results:

Fields on the Screen:

a. Title - a big banner title showing what the application is for (example: Taxify)

b. Description - A short description of the application.

c. URL - A hyperlink that takes you to a website of the application.

d. Website - A link to the website of the application.

e. Social - A list of all the social media accounts that the application is on.

f. User - A list of the current user's friends on the application.

2. The
Tangentially: are there any good non-ecosystem-oriented (i.e. not built by someone who wants you to spend more time in their ecosystem; doesn't necessarily have to be free or open source) voice assistants for home automation (not arbitrary phone tasks; stuff like reminders and playing music in a house, perhaps hosted in said house as well)?

I'm assuming not, both because hard, missing corpus of training data for high quality q&a understanding, and minimal demand. But maybe I'd be surprised!
That would be gemini protocol!
I think other countries (maybe England) are going to start recommending tetanus shot every 30 years. It's probably one of the biggest medical misconceptions that everyone has. The shot lasts for a very long time. Also the chance of getting tetanus is so low for the modern human (that doesn't work on a farm). You basically have to step on glass in soil that has cow feces all over it. Also they try to give you the tetanus shot when you have a deep cut even though it's too late at that point.
This is great and easy for companies that have great brand recognition and interested candidates like automattic and basecamp. This doesnt really work when people don't give a shit about your company and you're asking them to work for you part time on a contract when other companies are doing 1 or 2 and done interview processes.

It also selects for a certain type of individual who has enough free time outside of their day job to do extra part time work for a week to a month.

Not so fast! When it comes to demographics for groups, things don't always break down along populations. Think about how there we don't see women as ~51% of computer engineers.

That said, previous numbers show that gun ownership by gender was about 2:1 in favor of men (45% of American men own guns vs 19% of women).

This does show a pretty big spike in the number of women purchasing guns.

I wish I could find it again, but some years ago I purchased a book of Indiana maps from the 50s and 60s.

Because Indiana is right on the border between the Eastern and Central time zones, and because we have Chicago (on Central) nearby, the state has been in a tug of war between the two time zones for decades.

I found a series of time zone maps in the book, and over the span of a few years, the parts of Indiana that observed Eastern vs Central changed every year. Individual counties or cities would be in Eastern one year, Central the next.

I’m quite grateful that finally (mostly) stabilized; I can’t imagine the headaches it would cause today.
You need to have the big "I consider America the world" disclaimer at the top.

A world where a regular person in their everyday life do not need firearms exists all over the world. Are you the police? are you the military? and if so are you currently working? If not then you do not need a gun.

The police all over the world do show up when needed, and the don't shoot people unless it is a complete last resort. In the very rare case you are a person that is being attacked, they're even trained so well they don't shoot the person attacking you and can deal with it in better ways.

The only thing firearms help an average person do is compete in a shooting competition. Take a look at the rest of the developed world and realise that your thoughts on this only apply to one country.

One option is to move as you change jobs.

But tax law here also makes loss-making investment properties attractive to people, and borrowing against equity is another thing. Interest-only loans (as interest is a deductible investment expense), plus other expenses (all the better if it's in a nice holiday destination so flights and hotels to "inspect the property" are deductible), resulting in a minor loss on rent, which is offset against your primary salary and other investments.

Negative gearing like this allows people to basically zero out a house on the balance sheet and move on to buying another. Let it appreciate for a few years and you're ahead. Be a major voting base and politicians won't dare ruin your gravy train.

I still use AZLyrics and SongMeanings.net, sites that look like they haven't been updated in 20 years.

Song lyrics websites are one of the last remnants of the collaborative 'old web', where people uploaded information simply for the enjoyment of others, with no expectation of monetizing beyond easily blockable banner ads. Seeing "genius.com" links go straight to the top of Google was disheartening because it reflected the opposite spirit.
Definitely can understand and sympathize how you'd end up in that situation after being passed over for a job you really wanted. But please never lowball yourself, the price you walk through the door with defines your entire worth during your time at that company.

It can take longer if you ask higher but at least the company you end up with you'll know they're happy to pay more.
I would be very interested to see which brands / models of cars would see significant MPG reporting changes.

How much would this exacerbate / accelerate the challenges car companies face in complying with governmental MPG requirements?
Your comment makes me think nonsensical silly things like: "let's put it all on the blockchain!"

I'm not in favor of it but I do find it funny :P
> Your plumber, landscaper, construction crew need a car, but you're not gonna pay them more, are you.

Why not? If they all have to pay the same tax, they'll all start charging more. Same way they do if the price of pipe or lumber or gas goes up.
> We have quite a few studies that show the damages of specific kinds of social media and specific practices by social media. Hell a genocide happened because Facebook fell asleep at the wheel.

Do we actually have these, or are you inferring we do from the general tone of the media conversation around this topic? I'm aware of some correlation studies, and think the topic bears keeping an eye on.

Would you mind sharing one of the "quite a few" causal studies you're referring to?

> Hell a genocide happened because Facebook fell asleep at the wheel.

This is a non sequitur. Facebook didn't cause the genocide any more than Marconi caused the Rwandan genocide or AT&T caused Watergate. Widespread communications technologies and platforms are deeply fundamental to human interaction in the modern age; the only model that marks Facebook as at all causal of Rohingyan persecution requires giving them a nonsensical amount of undue credit for the human interaction that occurs across their platform. Eg, you'd have to make obviously absurd claims like that Facebook is responsible for legalizing gay marriage in the US (activists heavily use FB and other social media platforms to organize).

To be clear, I think criticism of FB from the UN et al on the topic of Myanmar is warranted. The nature of the platform is such that the capability can be built out to direct and constrain the conversations that are had, and it's fair to say that Facebook needs to expand the manner in which it does so.

But this contradicts your point: the salient difference is the ability to control communication so that it stops violence, which in your framing is a _positive_ of social media.

(Note that I'm personally close to an unrestricted speech maximalist, but I'm taking your framing for granted in the above paragraphs)

Nice, what are you using to crawl the web?
I have a similar feeling.

I share the photos I make with my wife and daughter but, otherwise they're just for me. My wife used some of the photos with various printing services to make physical articles that we interact with and that increased my enjoyment of the photos even more. I really like interacting with the photos I make as physical articles.

She had a couple of coffee mugs made with collages of family pictures. I get a kick out of seeing the photos each time I wash them.

She also surprised us with a "memory" card game made with 24 photos from family trips and gatherings. It made a simple game into a conversation about the people, places, and occasions in the photos.

She also had a tote bag printed with a larger-than-life print of a photo of my daughter's face om it. There's something particularly surreal, to me, about having an article like that with the face of somebody you know on it. It also, of course, prompted me to immediately photograph my daughter carrying the bag... >smile<
I think you missed the chance to voice this opinion 50 years ago.
You can easily do proper SEO with static site generators too. Even more, static sites can be hosted via GitHub or GitLab Pages, Netlify or CloudFlare and in all cases the speed will outperform Wordpress in almost all cases. Also, you have way more control over the output than with Wordpress.
It really depends on what you search for. A major drawback is that there needs to be text-heavy sites to find, in order for the search engine to find them.

Compare for example the results for "Duke Nukem 3D" with those for "Cyberpunk 2077".
Nah. Too easy to game. Let them pass on the costs to their customers.

Not very well. For a long time, I struggled to focus on one thing, and eventually gave in to just do everything I wanted to do. There are definitely pros and cons, and I certainly neglect many of my projects. But it's making for an interesting life.
And has been a quick way to panic() for most of them.
Likewise, I co-maintain the only "fan" site on one of my all-time favourite composers/performers, and gave the engine a shot with a unique string query. While my text-heavy WP-driven site didn't seem to make the cut, the results were highly relevant in that they were links to former band members and collaborators - a couple of which I didn't realize existed. That being said, there were a few sites (including my own) I expected to be returned, but no dice. Still, a fascinating experiment that many at HN have been clamouring for.
Not sure “fake” is the right word as it infers it’s not authentic. Unrecognized would be more accurate.

Some countries are not equally recognized as independent states. Apparently Turkey doesn’t recognize Cyprus.

So let’s say Kurdistan decides to declare independence, but only 2 countries recognize it. Is the passport fake? Most people would say no.

Just like fiat currency, passports are only “real” when people believe they are real. Otherwise they are just paper with writing on them.
This is some incredible stuff! You are really talented, please keep doing what you do!

Right, Quick Start does not represent any advantages. To show that advantages, example needs to be more complex.
We are working now on providing better quick start experience + demo project, that can be used as starter.

Sorry, if you're confused with our docs, we are working hard on it now.
Yeah the reference is supposed to be "OSH Help Topics" and "Oil Help Topics", which are linked from this page:

https://www.oilshell.org/release/0.9.1/doc/

They list everything concisely on one page. But the body of the docs is mostly not done.

https://www.oilshell.org/release/0.9.1/doc/oil-help-topics.h...

The release/$VERSION/ page lists the docs that are done, while /release/$VERSION/doc/ has all docs, including ones in progress.

Anything that's in progress has a pink banner at the top.

I got help filling out all the OSH builtins last year, and can use more help.

Thanks, I usually do, but in this case they are typescript issues and have tickets in the ts repo.

For example, constructor signature for mixins requires `any` type that conflicts with `no-explicit-any` rule. In another case, `object` cannot be replaced with `Record<string, unknown>` when used with conditional types to mean "any non-primitive value".
Huuh I meant there are hundreds of other places than the US, why make it about just that country ?

The US demands biometric passports and fingerprint scans anyway, I think.
HN is closer to chat than forums. Topics after the first page are effectively closed forever and it’s near impossible to continue a conversation without constantly checking it or relying on some external tools/extensions.

The point based default sorting also makes it difficult for any late entrant to participate in the conversation. The community has already decided what consensus is and that topic will quickly disappear anyway.

HN has a great community but a shit format.

I've looked into succinct data structures in the past [0] and not been totally satisfied with the stated time/space complexity (singling out the linked example because a lot of the literature is built on something similar).

Picking on the O(1) time complexity for rank queries, if the superstructure is constant sized then surely each block would have super-constant size and thus couldn't be walked in O(1) time, but conversely if the superstructure has super-constant size it itself can't be walked in O(1) time. In all cases the runtime of such a rank operation is greater than O(1).

Would somebody be willing to ELI5 what I'm missing?

True. If the recorder is truly interested in conveying the video, they could redub narration. Maybe someone should provide a service to remove music and boost voices in a video?
It was sort of the opposite - there was a control module called "kundenspezifische Akustikbedingung" or "customer acoustics condition" in Bosch diesel control units which was _deactivated_ by conditions like steering input that indicated real driving. So the car started in "low emissions" mode by default (essentially, running richer, which increased consumption and CO2 emissions but reduced NOx), and then leaned out (decreasing consumption but increasing NOx) once the "acoustic model" was deactivated.

From my limited understanding it wasn't just lowering engine performance they couldn't be simultaneously be efficient with fuel and low in emissions (IIRC burning at a higher temperature is good for fuel economy but bad for other pollutants). It's very well possible that no single configuration could have made them meet the requirements.
The question was whether it should be illegal or not.

Not sure, but I remember when Google could find literally anything. Then they started adding a bunch of exceptions and crapped out their quality. I wonder how insanely different results would be to get the older Google Engine from the 2000s search result wise.

I now have to play games with Google to find things. I feel like I do less than I used to for some reason.

While I will share "snapshots" from my phone, I do like to periodically go in, add metadata, curate, lightly edit, organize, etc. photos in Lightroom. It's pretty much the only way to access them in a reasonable way a few years later.
I'm reminded of this Thomas Carlyle quote: "The real use of gunpowder is to make all men tall."
There dozens of defensive uses of firearms daily. Many don’t result in shooting and even when they do they rarely make local news and certainly not beyond. There are a few sources that are trying to catalog these events I’ll try to snag one when I’m not on mobile. I’ve had to use a firearm before and it was never reported because no one got shot.

I read a profound observation that I can barely recall. Can anybody find it? Its that German cars use a design that assumes tight tolerance parts, which drives up cost. But Japanese cars use looser tolerance parts which still make up a strong "whole" which is robust to bad parts and wear.

For all the talk about "World Citizenship", the reality is if you actually had world-wide democracy where everyone could vote, you would actually end up with a very regressive government in terms of women's rights and LGBTQ rights.

Those rights mainly are accepted in Western Europe and the US, and by the business elite in many countries. But among the vast majority of the populations of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, those rights are not accepted.

With such different views about basic rights, I am actually happy that we do not have a global government, but that I can live in a country that respects those rights.

All viruses are like this. The first time a new mechanism originates, it decimates the population because nobody's immune systems have any protection of any kind whatsoever. That's how you get a New York scenario -- everyone exposed gets infected, very few people have natural immunity. Hospitals explode.

Fast forward 2 years. Many many people have had Covid and many many people have been immunized. Even if you get exposed a year later, the immune system has at least some idea of how to handle it. You get sick, but your immune system can fight it off. For a little while your immune system will completely annihilate any virus that it encounters, but after a while it chills out.
> Isn’t pretty much everybody where they are today because of mass migration of their ancestors?

That's a preposterous argument. You're basically saying it's okay for host countries and culture to be wiped off the face of the planet for the sake of unrestricted migration. Why on earth would anyone want that to that happen to their country?

It's one thing to migrate en masse into unoccupied land. It is a different matter to migrate en masse into an existing society. Whenever the latter has happened, it has led to the destruction of the host society.

> My government doesn’t tell me where I can travel.

This has nothing to do with travel. Citizenship isn't the privilege of traveling. It is a legally enshrined commitment made to some society. The idea of global citizenship is simply vacuous. Hence my question above. it's it's about being able to flit about the world as your please, then it's an abuse of the term because that's not citizenship.

I think the parent comment was suggesting to hire subcontractors to do most or all of the work.

But I agree: It’s easy to greatly underestimate the amount of work that goes into a house. Contractors will have entire crews, all of the equipment they need, and most importantly they have years of experience to know how to do something quickly and in a way that will pass inspection.

A DIYer must first learn each step before doing it, which can take as much or more time than the task itself in many cases.
Wiki lists some, with sources for further reading. Most prominent non-emotional argument seems to be that legalizing increases demand, meanwhile many would remain illegal nevertheless - so the related crimes' prevalence would increase.

This is pretty much how the defeat was discovered - by a group who were curious about how US diesels could be so great compared to their European counterparts, using sniffers attached to vehicles performing normal road driving.

Unfortunately, this wouldn't work very well as a certification test, as it would require standardization. But, as a failsafe in addition to a standardized test plan, I think this would be great - basically "we'll give you the procedural test you know and love, and we'll drive 100 normal road miles with more lenient thresholds in place. Fail either and you don't get a certification."
