2009 is just over 10 years ago :)

Also not great examples.

One of the main reasons webOS and Symbian died (including Windows Phone by the way) is because they barely had any apps and developers didn’t want to build for those platforms.

Because either the developer APIs were bad, the hardware was slow or there weren’t many people around on those platforms.

Microsoft tried to incentivise developers, but it didn’t work.

And consumers didn’t want to stick around those platforms.

So it shown us that:

- people want to stick on platforms with active developers

- developers want to develop for platforms with great APIs, hardware and great distribution

RIM, Nokia and Palm tried, burned billions, but the market (via consumers and developers) has spoken, and made Apple right - people care about experience, whether they are people that consume or build the software.

It’s no easy feat for new entrants (Google & Apple) to dethrone existing mammoths.

But they’ve done it and turned others into history and a business lesson about innovation and changing the status quo.

They had a single rule for developers - we’ll charge you fee for our work (R&D, APIs, software, hardware, distribution, handling payments and taxes worldwide).

Developers voluntarily agreed and chosen Apple (then Google) instead of what RIM, Nokia and Palm offered.

In the end I feel it was the right decision, everyone won.

Now, after history’s been made and unsuccessful platform and models died out, developers (companies) decided to change their mind: "Hey, remember how we agreed to your rules and changed the world together? Well, we want to go back to the days of no distribution and marketplace fees, but still have access to the best hardware and billion people on your platforms. We don't care that it's normal for other marketplaces to charge 30-50% fees (Walmart/PlayStation), you're a monopoly!" (even though we know Apple is not a monopoly, and developers played a huge part in demise of the 3rd player in the market - Microsoft) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
LEGO is an adjective. Never call it Legos.
Getting your repo DCMA'd is great for drawing attention to your project.
The page says at the end "Please do not post this article to Hacker News". I don't know how to delete or archive posts, but perhaps it would be appropriate in this case.

That's really interesting. Could you please elaborate on how you achieved that? Reverse engineering the level data couldn't have been easy.

I was surprised not to see selenium in this article. It is a common tool
I don't agree with this, pro-rata rights protect investors from dilutionary events which they have no control over. I guess that's one-sided in the way that any "right" is in a legal contract, but that's a weird way to frame it.

It's also incorrect to frame the option as "free", you're only observing market behavior in a world in which the option exists, not one in which it doesn't exist. You can't say that investors would have the exact same behavior (in terms of prices, terms, etc) in a world in which they rarely or never got pro-rata. Maybe, but probably not.
I feel like in general there's been a big increase in selfish antisocial behavior since the pandemic started.
Those exist a plenty.

From the first (2016) article:

> 10 years from now, the network of VORs will be about 68% the size it currently is.

So they're cutting about one-third of the VORs by the end of the phase out.
> * Zoom fatigue is real.

The issue I had is once we started going back to the office 2x a week, all my meetings were STILL on zoom all day, I just took them from my cube with my mask on. It was a total bummer!
don't be discouraged. I think it's pretty cool. perhaps, the issue is about presentation.

I think the tool has potentials for remodeling and interior design. is the editor really easy to use? why don't you screen record it instead of capturing your computer monitor?

can the tool be built into a phone app, so no post editing will be needed? can it also generate floor plan?
It will depend heavily on the amount of global sway China has at that point. I imagine the countries TSMC builds the fabs in would vastly prefer to use the invasion as an excuse to say the fabs belong under the control of a entity without connections to China.
You are talking about the models, right? If you train your own model on your own data without transfer learning (or with transfer learning from a liberally licensed third party model once those exist) then you can do whatever you want to with your model, no?
The solution, IMO, is not to debate between a Chinese-owned vs an American-owned app but rather promote something homegrown.
Of that 79%, there is a group who will never engage. How do we address the remainder?

It's all fun and games until PerimeterX comes in.
The app review process has been a black box for years. There have been stories of app developers writing or saying something critical of Apple, then inexplicably their next release gets stuck in a long review or gets declined for a reason that's not related to what has changed. That might be why people are reluctant to complain too loudly, to the extent that the latter is even true.
With that out of the way what about my argument is wrong?

Solar panels do not use rare earth elements. The only element that's fairly rare and commonly used in solar panels is silver, which is used in conductive pastes for cell contacts.
I was trying to distill my thoughts down to a paragraph and then I see that you’ve done it in a single sentence. That’s exactly it.

The internet has permitted individuals to become famous completely independently for the first time ever. And famous people and advertising is an age old relationship. Really all there is to it.

You're right about the unfeasibility of trees on buildings, but one clarification is that these buildings are actually Mass Timber construction, so they're using wood as the main support structure instead of steel and concrete. That's one of the reasons this project is going to be able to be carbon-neutral if not carbon negative
From the license file:

> 3.4 Patent Claims. If you bring or threaten to bring a patent claim against any Licensor (including any claim, cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) to enforce any patents that you allege are infringed by any Work, then your rights under this License from such Licensor (including the grant in Section 2.1) will terminate immediately.

Is such a clause legal? I have basically zero knowledge of such things, but it seems like it should be illegal to punish someone for a good faith patent claim.
Because you're at work to have a good career and get paid.

>so what
so they talk behind your back, and that's not good for a work environment. so if any of them are in management, they will impede your career. so eventually when one of those guys you pissed off has a couple of beers too many at a company outing, he is going to talk office-inappropriate crap, and despite what you might think that is bad not just for him, but for you as well.

>I'm quite fine if some people don't like me
they're not "some people." they are coworkers, and by adding a personal relationship, you are impeding the work you're there to do. if you're not there for work, why not be at a baseball game, and why bother negotiating for a salary? you know who is not fine if some people at the office don't like you, because of a reason You provided to them? everyone above you in your org chart.
> Of course, the difficulty of many GPL projects is in identifying the stakeholders, and getting them to agree on action.

I should highlight that this is the reason the FSF has the "copyright assignement" clause, because they understand well that without it, the GPL is hard to enforce.

Sadly, such a clause has been co-opted by other companies to give them the power of relicensing the software under more closed terms.
Great example. Compare the traction of your machine to an 8N. That engine will outlast 4-5 briggs engines easy (10K vs 2K hrs). They have an efficient gear drive as opposed to hydrostatic. Lots less maintenance and no need for gallons of hydro fluid. They have a robust 3pt hitch with an excellent PTO drive. They will drag your tractor up and down the field all day long. I really mean to be constructive, sorry if I am not sugar coating it.
Are you vaccinated? Everyone who I know got vaccinated and basically started living their lives normally again as much as possible, wearing masks indoors in crowds and maskless outdoors. Several have now gone overseas to Europe

On Confirmation Bias
I remember a workmate having to deal with some difficult to scrape data at a previous job - the page randomly rendered with different mark-up (but the same appearance) to mitigate pulling out data using selectors. I think he got to the bottom of it eventually but it made testing his work a pain.
It would be nice if "undefined" consistently meant absence, but it's not quite that:

console.log('foo' in {foo: undefined}); // true!
The government is not mandating you get vaccinated. Other than in health care, the government is mandating that large enterprises where people work closely with the public or with each other require either vaccination or frequent testing. The same goes for crowded indoor venues: Show proof of vaccination or a recent test.

This is a very lax "mandate." Nobody is going to require vaccination to drive a long-haul truck.
Since you are here, what are your thoughts on how the United States could break its dependencies on big pharma? I found my own method that worked for me, but it won't work for most people.
> France has really disappointed with their heavyhanded approach against those that are not vaccinated.

well, the only reason I got vaccinated was to be able to go to the restaurant without having to do a covid test beforehand; so maybe the heavyhandeness was warranted?
> If I'm in an established organization and I see a VP or director prescribing technical solutions to engineering problems

That 'established' part is key because early stage companies require wearing so many hats. And knowing when and to whom to let something go it's crucial IME.

lol "worst that can happen from socializing with coworkers is you'll have to get a different job"

right. the worst that can happen if I take a nice fat dump into my dinner plate is I'll have to get a new dinner plate.

it's not fear. it's being at work to do work and get paid being the number one reason to even bother working. and if you're not there to work, why not be at a rock concert instead. with some friends.
Sorry. Can't do that. Public opinion would go mad because of that:

Space: 1999 is a British science-fiction television programme that ran for two series from 1975 to 1977.[1] In the opening episode, set in the year 1999, nuclear waste stored on the Moon's far side explodes, knocking the Moon out of orbit and sending it, as well as the 311 inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha, hurtling uncontrollably into space.

Slight aside: The most recent Cloudflare HCaptchas ask you to classify AI generated images. They don’t even look like a proper bike/truck/whatever (I don’t have an example handy).

I categorically refuse to do when I’m browsing websites using it. I find this new captcha utterly unacceptable.

It’s no “protection” at this point anymore. Websites are using it as an excuse to become even more user hostile. I am worried for the future of the web.

..which is surprising to me, because the idea of class-laden CSS is kinda gross on its face!

But if any of my fellow reluctant frontend developers are on the fence, do give it a try - assuming you are using some kind of component framework in your code.
Stock photography because it’s easier to search/filter your way to the perfect photo than it is to try and create it yourself.

They lose their ability to hold their "shape" and become less efficient. This is primarily a concern for people that want to go as fast as possible. I've been perfectly happy with sails after 20 years of light use. I mean, I can see that they don't really have the best shape, but I'm still sailing so all is good.
Point of clarification: our friends aren't boring. We love hanging out with them and doing things with them. But from a strictly social media standpoint, their posts aren't the kind of content we want to consume. I can only see photos of your kid so many times before I've seen enough.

We don't need to "upgrade" our friends or our peer group at all.

The distinction I am (and I think Eugene is) making is that my reasons for being friends with someone has no bearing on the types of media I am interested in consuming.

You and I can be best friends, but that doesn't mean I need to see the photos of your breakfast. And the fact that I'd rather watch Hank Green pontificate on scientific facts in no way diminishes my friendship with you. As Eugene points out in his blog post, the social graph and the interest graph are two awfully different things that may wind up being totally orthogonal to one another, and the Venn diagram overlap may be very small in real life.

If I may try and rephrase your takeaway, it's that our social media landscape needs to be refreshed or reshuffled periodically to maintain our interest, and that can take many forms, including but not limited to finding a totally new peer group. I would agree with that assessment.

But reshuffling your interest graph is much easier than shuffling your social graph, at least for most people.
Things being the best they've ever been and being on the brink of collapse are not mutually exclusive. In fact, it's not even rare, historically speaking.

We're literally watching the world burn around us.
It feels like an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. For those with better things to do, that's a reality TV show where failing restaurants ask the host for help. And yet in nearly every episode they're shocked to find out that their food isn't good, despite that obviously being a key part of running a restaurant. "We've never had any complaints" is a common refrain, and many are irate at the suggestion.

When I go to a restaurant and the food is bad, the last people I'd tell are the restaurant staff. I simply stop visiting that business (if I can help it) and maybe recommend other people avoid it as well. The same is probably true in most lines of business.
It certainly wouldn't hurt to ask. I can always ask. :)
> I'm wondering if companies use a stock photo because it's easier than taking photos of their unphotogenic staff, or if it is because they wish to appear diverse but come photo time they look around the office and..."oh, shit, we really need to quit hiring based on 'cultural fit'".

It's just cheaper to use stock photos than to bring-in a photographer. Especially right now with Covid. It's also awkward to ask employees.

And you have to stage the office as well.

There's also a good chance the office looks like something like https://twitter.com/calvinfo/status/1315691567408185346 at launch.
Waking up as a meme-hero – Andras Arato (2019) [video]
60% of people in UK think their job is bullshit and doesn't need to exist, so my wild guess is these 'influencers' fill more fulfilled than an average office worker.

Bitcoin demonstrably has value. In fact all value is socially determined (I didn't say "arbitrary"). Whether bitcoin is a "fraud" or not is obviously a different issue.

Apache 2.0 has a very similar clause. But there might be some subtle differences in the wording that makes this broader or stricter.
When there are hundreds of great EV options in the market, Tesla will need to advertise. They enjoy a brand advantage now, but that will fade in the next 2-3 years.
It's not limited to HN. Even in a local dev Slack community, I often see people expecting companies to flagellate themselves just for a chance to hire the unique, special talent that they believe and need constant reassurance that they are. As far as I can tell, it's unique to tech because that kind of talent is in demand, but the toxic behavior it brings out in some people is really something to behold.

I prefer to know my value and vote with my feet. No pontificating required.
i have the impression, that abandondonment of the gold standard did create a kind of corrupting mindset, that goes as follows "if we can manipulate he CPI, so that it appears that there is no inflation, if we can create money out of nothing with tricks like quantitave easing, then we can do anything". This mindsets creates a kind of collusion between the establishment and the media. This collusion protects the consensus from further questioning - a kind of feeback loop sets in. (but that may not be true either, there was plenty of hypocrisy when the gold standard was in effect)
I've lived in an apartment building with grassy shrubs on the facade, I liked it!

They were a low-maintenance species, and had automated irrigation in the soil so nether me or the building owner had to touch them.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're a net environmental cost, but the cost has to be small compared to the overall impact of the building construction, and they have other benefits.

The plants look nice from inside and outside, provide a bit of privacy without blocking too much light, and deaden road noise.
maybe we need quieter drones
Not if you use an X server that's specifically designed for it: https://x410.dev/
Even changing IPs won't always work against an adversary with a global view of the Internet such as CloudFlare.

CF has a view on a significant chunk of internet traffic across many sites and feeds that into some kind of heuristics/machine learning. Even if we assume that your behavior on the scraped website looks human-like, you may still get blocked or challenged because of your lack of traffic on other sites.

The IPs you'd get from a typical proxy service would only be used for bot activity and would've been classified as such a long time ago, and there's no "human activity" on it to compensate and muddy the waters so to speak.

The best solution is to use IPs with a chunk of legitimate residential traffic, and keep scraping sessions constrained to their IPs - don't rotate your requests among all these IPs, instead every IP should be its own instance of a human-like scraper, using its own user account, browser cookies, etc.

The post is flagged and the comments greatly seem to support the 1% rhetoric (its not us its the .01%!,taxes don't work(because the rich dont pay them), wealth distribution is evil (as long as its not the rich who get the funds distributed to them of course, thry have no problem sucking money/value like a vacuum).
I think it depends on the group. I’ve been in several that have lasted multiple years. They tend to be focused on one specific hobby or demographic niche and then offer a wide variety of activities within that niche. Additionally, have multiple organizers and a large enough funnel of new joiners that it always feels big and welcome and established. I have no idea how they got to the stable position they’re in now, but these meetups are more like self-directed communities than they are going-somewhere-for-one-thing interest groups.
