We have had a few posts about this, a blog from an ex-employee explained it basically as Pintrest spending tens of millions to do everthing they can to game Google search results and they arn't going to stop any time soon. Pinterest just puts A LOT of time and money into SEO.
Why not phase-out completely then, rather than allow a few thousands to buy an exception?
Interesting — I picked fish because it was so much faster than zsh but I also run it pretty lean without much in the way of plugins.
But most people don't just go out and randomly walk around. And with the exception of high-density cosmopolitan cities, even if you did, you'd just end up in somewhere extremely boring.

One of the more effective ways of knowing where to go, is by talking with friends and collecting, curating that information over time. I don't know if this start-up is capable of replicating that experience - there are tons of urban blogs and the like that claim to do the same that I rarely use - but the problem domain and general solution seems reasonable.
Yes, I see your point. I disagree for water such a phase change could be discovered under earth-like conditions, but I can see how "sufficiently complex" substances with reasonable energy deltas in their phase-/structural-changes could be "attacked/exploited/triggered" to look like an infection-style reaction.

Dad joke, but they should call themselves "Newton". . . .

Because after an Apple whacked them on the head, they started coming to grips with the gravity of the situation :P
Is this in question? I'm confused by your use of the word "just".
Let's say someone agrees that bitcoin price is a reliable signal, what is the call to action? Imo, the price represents a kind of anti-demand for USD and it is a general fiat hedge, like a volatility index for capital flight by working people.

"Pessimists sound smart, optimists make money." is a quip that has resonated with me a great deal lately, so while I have opinions about what implosion looks like, what is the strategy to benefit from it? Framed in that context, yes, I'd agree with Thiel if he were saying we're watching the "all at once" phase of a slow decline that started a decade or two ago. However, what could one be optimistic about in that situation?
Then you have very different priorities than an airplane owner. You pay for plenty of things that are extremely expensive, you just choose different things.
You are getting downvoted because you are missing the point so profoundly, that is hard to begin why its wrong.

The 'I am not racist I have a black friend' is used for a token acquaintance 'prove' you cannot be racist.

There were some really deep points made there, my favourite was (I paraphrase) "i dont need you to understand me, I need you to acknowledge my human experience".

Just because Chappelle and others are not 100% OK with everything that X movement/group is saying it doesn't mean he and others are anti-X.

The problem is with people's lack of nuance - the black and white thinking, and not listening/reading actual source of the topic :p when speaking out.
I think that would be allowed, yes. It would be a rather useless web browser though so that's probably why nobody has tried before.
I think Bitcoin specifically, crypto in general and some other recent events show a general lack of trust in the financial system. That is related to a lack of trust in the political system but I think there are far bigger examples of that as of late than Bitcoin.
Linux. I've had machines with Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, Suse, Mint, and Fedora as well as some more specialized operating systems for particular specialty hardware. Actually Suse was my intro to Linux.
> especially people from families without a history of college degrees.

No adult should ever be judged by the "sins of their fathers" in any capacity. Family history should only be a consideration when it's medical history.
Nonetheless, refining aluminum at industrial scale using renewable energy has been demonstrated successfully for many decades. That somebody uses coal does not negate the fact.
Because the action under consideration is of a wholly different class than the others you mention.

For example, we regulate ivf, don't we? Why? Because the action undertaken has the ability to create new life.

The same is true of prostitution. The action undertaken is of a wholly different nature. Namely it can create people, which is different than any other labor.

Tolerating homosexual prostitution is actually more akin to your other analogies in that the action undertaken is not special. Although anal intercourse in general ought to be discouraged due to its deleterious health effects.
The US in particular seems to be full of either such naive types (where enterprise, state, science, NGOs, law, etc can do no wrong, and even if something happens, it's just some individual bad apples at worst) or the other extreme (pizzagate-aliens-they're coming for us conspiracy nuts).
The analogy that comes to my mind is as if all of my friends and family and customers and employers did heroin. Yes, I could choose not to do heroin, and yet, staying around those people, the likelihood of me continuing to use heroin is high (pun intended) so I could continue to fit in. One of the best ways to stop using heroin is to disconnect from those friends and family.

So yes, they may be completely-optional-to-my-life in terms of using it directly, and yet choosing to not use them often means disconnecting from people not just on those platforms but in life in general.

An example that's almost the opposite: I traveled a lot overseas and my close group of American friends would use an SMS chat group to stay in touch. While overseas, I'd use a local sim and couldn't receive the group texts. I wanted them to switch to Whatsapp or a similar platform that would work over the internet. A few of them refused. So they stayed on the platform and I felt myself becoming more distant from them, not just in texts but in general. I felt a very similar disconnect after I deleted my FB account a few years back, and then again, after I built a new FB account and muted all of my FB friends.

At some point, I think a company becomes so large and integrated into society that it becomes a pseudo-monopoly and often in the US we treat those as public utilities. Yes, I think I could live without electricity in my city, and yet the electric company would still impact my life.
> Are you suggesting that everybody learn DSSSL [...]?

Hell, no ;) Just that they pickup SGML insertion contexts as a concept where to escape what chars when that was known in the late 1970s already (ISO 8879 was published in 1986, but took a loong time through the committees). It's incredibly lame they haven't figured DTD/markup grammars and can only handle hard-coded HTML insertion contexts - one more thing to fall off the cliff as HTML evolves, and unnecessarily so.

OTOH, it always is fun to show HNers what could've would've been using DSSSL/Scheme in browsers ...

> Sex as labour is no different than any labour,

In capitalistic society everything can be called labour, including selling people, their organs and their genitals for sex.
I had a meta****.com domain for sale on sedo for couple years, it was sold last week.
CCPA shows a precedent.

It is well within states rights to regulate data retention and has been established. See:

https://www.ncsl.org/research/telecommunications-and-informa...

Another poster claimed this targets a single company, Facebook, which is not the case, it would be universal.

Another user claimed this was "stupid" and no one could do business. Setting up a private data center or purchasing rack space at an existing data center locally is well within most businesses capabilities. As far as losing chains like Starbucks and Chick-fil-A I do not see that being a long term problem, how much data does a coffee or chicken place need to collect on its customers and? It would certainly boost localized technology companies in states which adopt this strategy.
The issue is that we have like 40 years of UX improvement for desktops and now have super high resolution monitors that make that UX experience usable. We have like 5 years for VR and 0 years with a high enough resolution to make it usable. I think once high resolution enough VR comes out it'll pretty much be "oh I don't need monitors anymore, but keyboards/mice are still pretty much ideal for text entry/knowledge work, so lets keep those. probably more standing desks also." The metaverse thing is a solution in search of a problem, and in Facebook's case, clearly a solution in search of more money.

> You can hire a surrogate to carry a baby to term

In the vast majority of first world countries this is illegal for precisely the reasons I described. Only extremely poor countries or barbaric jurisdictions, such as California, allow paid surrogacy.

> not the same as renting out your genitals for a limited time.

Given the genitals ability to produce life that can last many years beyond yourself, you're absolutely right. Renting out your genitals is much worse.
Authmoji adds a fun spin on two factor auth and one time passwords by using emojis instead of numbers. We just launched, so let us know what you think!
Right, so long as there isn't mutation, we're golden, which is why the machine code is the same.

This is, after all, why Godbolt was first invented as I suspect you know (Matt Godbolt wondered if C++ iterators really do produce the same machine code as a hand-rolled C-style for loop, and rather than just trust an expert he built the earliest Compiler Explorer to show that yes, with real C++ code you get the same machine code, any time spent hand-rolling such loops is time wasted)
Whats your strategy for finding interesting things not on google maps?
Interesting. I find reddit results are some of the most useful results but maybe that's just related to my specific hobbies/searches.
I have the Sears version of Golf sitting in front of me as I write this. It's the same game as Atari's Golf, just with the Tele-Games branding on the manual and the box.

At the time, there were millions and millions of people who were loyal to the Sears brand, and would choose something from Sears over something from Atari.

This extended into all kinds of products. For example, many major appliances from Sears were actually Whirlpool appliances with Kenmore branding. But people would rather buy them from Sears than Whirlpool, for a variety of reasons that are beyond the scope of an HN discussion.

I didn't find it too much of a switch — it works well and things like Option-><arrow> to complete it word by word are really handy with repetitive tasks like using the AWS CLI.

> Doesn't seem materially different to me

It isn't. It's the same idea expressed with different words.

But what matters about symbols, the thing that makes them useful, is that there is a mapping from a potentially infinite number of physical things to a finite number of Platonic ideals or whatever you want to call them. Whether you want to call "4" and "four" the "same symbol" or "different symbols denoting the same concept" doesn't matter. What matters, the source of the utility, is that there is a finite number of equivalence classes that the physical things can be unambiguously mapped to.

would be nice if you would display the number of results, this is a very helpful feature to me at least. I use it often to check if a phrase is grammatically correct or if one term is more popular than the other etc.
>Based on the test results, black students statewide — young Darryl included — wound up categorized as “educable mentally retarded” at disproportionate rates: 27% labeled that way in 1968 were black — even though black students made up less than 9% of the student body.

So there are differences in the distribution of IQ among all the people in a Planet with very different environments?

Rubbish racist pseudo-science. We all know evolution stopped at the neck line.
Admirable optimism.
>"Fast forward to today. Now when you go to https://vscode.dev, you'll be presented with a lightweight version of VS Code running fully in the browser."

Does that imply there is functionality missing from the online version of VS Code?
It's essentially stock Chromium with a bunch of tinfoil on top. This means good Chromium UI things like tab groups, which are a digital form of meth.

They have a built-in adblocker (not an extension, a modification of the browser itself so it doesn't care about Manifest v3. It can also do CNAME uncloaking, which is what makes uBO better on Firefox than Chromium), a lot of anti-tracking features.

Importantly, they maintain their own end to end encrypted sync architecture like Mozilla does.

They have miscellaneous sideshow features like a torrent client and a Tor implementation (but AFAIK recommend the Tor Browser still)

A big thing is that the adblocker is that it's there on mobile. They're also the only mobile Chromium browser that can play YouTube videos in the background as far as I know.

As far as the crypto goes, it's actually a decent system:

Brave sells adspace (which they deliver as new tab backgrounds and toaster popups, entirely separately from websites), gets paid in Money™. They keep a cut, take the rest and buy BAT with it, give it to users. They have a tipping system where users can then tip content creators with the BAT and get creators some compensation for Brave's part in killing tracking ads.

(this can never be a full compensation, since Brave's ads don't track, and should thus be less valuable than evil ads)

---

If you want bigtime UI innovation, I'd look elsewhere - Brave's angle is stock Chromium, privacy, and standalone infrastructure to provide independent revenue. The big UI innovators in Chromium land are Microsoft (if you don't care about privacy, Edge is sadly a disaster on that front) and Vivaldi (who are also very no tracky and run their own end to end encrypted sync service. Both have a lot of fantastic UI customization features. Microsoft's more well-designed ones that are both pleb friendly and powerful, Vivaldi's more of the "here's all the toggles" type. To illustrate their type of overkill, they have THREE separate tab group implementations built in. And a mail client, calendar, RSS reader, a barebones notes module - did I mention these guys used to make Opera?
I've been using codespaces for a while. now my copilot doeasn't work there.
I'm not entirely sure I grasp what you're trying to demonstrate.

1. Yes, most Western societies demand that an unemployed person takes any job in their skill-set.

2. Yes, there are certainly openings at the local brothel.

3. With any luck, there are also openings for other jobs at the local supermarket, or as teachers, or as nannies, or working the fields, or cleaning cars, or coding, or...

=> Yes, some women (and I imagine some men) are going to end up sex workers. Others are going to become supermarket employees, teachers, nannies...

I don't quite connect this to your affirmation that "its not normal work."
The sophons were so annoying. So they build these god-in-a-box fundamental particles that would be perfect for scouting out all nearby solar systems for habitable planets, and they instead use them only to give the human race a wedgie.

Also, humanity just deciding one day that exploration is lame and unfair so they'll forever be against letting people leave the solar system was beyond annoying. And that forever is forever, humanity as a whole never changes their mind, even when they're being murdered by the dumbest smart weapon of all time.
That's a pretty strange implication. I just tried opening up a .NET Core application in VS Code developed exclusively in Visual Studio, and it fired right up. Now I certainly wouldn't say that the debugging experience is as good as VS, but nobody should expect it to be. VS Code isn't supposed to be a replacement for VS, although it can certainly hold it's own. And it's free.
I've love to see this for open source, especially integrated into GitHub. A simple "click here to contribute" button could really lower the barrier to entry for first-timers.

They are using that as an excuse to close the airport since that's in an area where real state is highly valued. Reid Hillview is a 'relief' airport - that means it is used to shift small GA traffic away from San Jose airport.

Those aircraft will not disappear, they will just move to SJC a few miles away and pollute just as much.

I seriously doubt that, if the lead was removed overnight, they would change their minds and stop complaining about the airport. This NIMBY fight is older than that.

I feel similarly about my HOA who complains about noise pollution from SJC. The airport predates the houses by decades but now it is suddenly a problem.

There should be far more outrage about lead in avgas than there is today - maybe then the FAA and EPA would stop bickering and issue some new regulation. Noone wants to take responsibility for the monetary damage and possible disasters stemming from the decision to phase out lead, so decades later we are still looking for the perfect avgas replacement.

Meanwhile, European planes are transitioning to other fuels. Either Jet-A or motor gas. Diamond has developed great engines, but when their aircraft are sold in the US, guess which engines they use? People will ask specifically for lead burning Lycoming or Continental. If there was a penalty for doing that, maybe this would change.

I think this is an interesting "hack" on the rules. The law says you have to have side mirrors; it doesn't say that you can't make those mirrors easy to remove|replace.

I'm guessing there will be a camera "side mirror" installed from the factory and removing the actual side mirrors will not impede visibility.
I'd recommend looking into H1B laws. By law you can only give out H1B visas if you cannot find an American worker to do the job.
I dunno.

From my perspective it seems inevitable that somebody will create a killer VR app/world. If FB is really dedicating a large amount of resources to this, I'm sure they will be successful at some point. Their budget can be orders of magnitude higher than even the most expensive game ever developed, if they wanted to. I just hope they take cues from game designers and focus on making it "fun".

I mean, a VR office could conceivably be a new normal setting to perform work in. The technology is not far enough along at this point though... imagine trying to code on a virtual screen in low res, hah. And many prefer the privacy of the new remote work normal, and probably wouldn't want to be "physically" present, even if in virtual form.

Haven't really followed what their intention is with metaverse, but I imagine they are trying to build an actual endless/seamless virtual world where you'd spent a large amount of time in, and possibly even work in.

But again, gonna be kinda hard to make it that engaging with current tech. And the amount of assets that would need to be created is enormous.

Maybe they start with just VR meetings/office.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. There was another site (forget the name, something-something-cloud) that supposedly did this but it seems abandoned and didn't work on any browser that I used.

An online VS Code would not only make doing quick things with GitHub repos much easier but can be great for people just getting into learning programming because it doesn't require installing anything, but you are essentially starting out with a professional tool.

That and every once in a while I'm not on my own computer thus it would be pretty nice to kill time coding with a VS Code instance that doesn't need installation.
