Isn't it because of scaling? The bigger a service becomes with a large audience, the cheaper they can sell things for.
eBike batteries are as unique as all of the power tool ones so that they are all different. what's your approach to housing and connecting your DIY battery for your make/model?

i just recently became an eBike owner as well, and a second battery pack is 1/3 the price of the bike.
You can sell it in other stores as well, can't you?
I too look stupid, but not in "so ahead of everyone I look stupid" way, or in a Socratic ironic way, just stupid. It does mean I can ask dumb questions and keep up with what's happening, or propose dumb ideas and sometimes they stick, but I think I'd prefer to not look, and consequently be treated like, I'm stupid.
Please don't use HN for ideological flamewar, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are. Even in this pretty hellish thread, your posts are standing out as aggressive. That's not cool.

If you're in favor of good causes, or you have better arguments, it's enough to represent those with good information.

I don't think their claim is that accurate. The complete paragraph in their terms reads like this:

> Unless otherwise indicated, the Site is our proprietary property and all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics on the Site (collectively, the “Content”) and the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the “Marks”) are owned or controlled by us or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright and trademark laws and various other intellectual property rights and unfair competition laws of the United States, foreign jurisdictions, and international conventions.

They are talking about the proprietary property of the site (which is correct), and for the source code they are saying it's "owned or controlled by us or licensed to us". So in my understanding this part is correct.

The only issue is they doesn't display the notice that the code is based on Mastodon and doesn't share the modified source code. This is in fact against AGPL. The problem with this accusation is they never launched the service officialy in the first, some people who got access to an URL which wasn't supposed to be released to the public (and apparently this URL is unacessible already), so I think a legal dispute is a hard case right now. Now they can get away by just fixing it before the launch.
Yep, I can sell it on myWidget.com or at another store.

So how is this different than App Store policies?

I've seen this with Diversity and Inclusion.

You can't openly be against it or suggest that the bar was lowered for someone. So instead it's discussed behind closed doors, and you hear things like "You know X is here for the right reasons. He went to Y and is Asian so you know he's qualified".

Else you end up like the cancelled MIT lecturer.
Haha. Maybe he's testing the good-spirited rebelliousness and critical thinking of the HN community. (Or maybe not.)

Tnx. I think this is another thing which worth to point out. We're having Open Source solution compared with non Open Source one.

Because of the patents.

This was news in 2013, unless somebody thought serotonin wasn't genetically influenced..

The researchers concluded: "Serotonin is not necessarily required for baseline generation of new neurons in the adult brain, but is essential for exercise-induced hippocampal neurogenesis."

I have a love/hate relationship with both Twitter as my primary (for last while) writing outlet and threads specifically.

I love writing and love talking with smart people. Twitter enables both things. The activation energy for me to write a Twitter thread is much closer to "water cooler conversation with the world" rather than "write an essay that I hope to be read for 10+ years and will with more than 50% probability spawn an HN comments thread whose tenor will largely determine how happy I am that day."

The whole experience of writing on Twitter, both the perceived-even-if-I-know-it-isn't-real ephemerality of it and the lightness of tapping out on my phone or PC when between tasks, does something for me that essay writing cannot.

That's why I write threads almost every day. Strategically speaking, I hate it; a million words on Twitter would be far better as a million words of essays, or even any substantial fraction of that.
They have made the APIs open on all of their discrete GPUs going forward. I actually have an Intel discrete GPU board (based on the Intel's DG1 - Discrete Graphics 1) that supports GVT-g and all the same standard APIs we deal with. I think Intel is going to be a huge disruptor in the GPU market because of this!

The good news is that we also support consumer Nvidia GPUs and some consumer AMD GPUs as well. There are more limitations in AMD land than the other vendors but I'm hopeful that they will make some improvements across time.

It's not ok to attack others this way on HN, regardless of how wrong they are or you feel they are. It only makes everything worse, and we've had to ask you this kind of thing more than once before.

I'm sure this app will be marked by the same level of technical sophistication we saw from Parler, and the Trump administration in general.
> Once this happens, none of this reasoning will hold up to scrutiny.

My point is it can't just be say 20% cheaper to own. It'll have to be much more than that to offset the pain of having to refuel.

Sure, if it's 20% cheaper including having the H2 delivered at home, then we're approaching something that can be considered.
Its literally the 25th fastest cpu available across all cpu's ? According to the geekbench scores. I'm not sure how you can say its not that fast.

Its a laptop cpu, with very very low power draw and its the 25th fastest cpu ACROSS all cpus.

Its the biggest generational leap in cpus for 20 years.
Taiwan Aims to Develop Its Own Starlinks, Building a Full-Fledged Space Industry
I think that's only used for structures immersed in seawater.

It's not that we can't design buildings to last longer, it's that you don't want to design a building to last two centuries when you know it's probably going to be torn down in 50 years no matter what shape it's in.
I did have an attitude reboot. I used to not care. But with the demolition of the cultural norms I grew up with my attitude went from "I don't really care" to "enough is enough and I need to start speaking up."

Regression, even to something that was better, is not something Apple does often. They have already poured a lot of money into rosetta2, and their silicon that a regression back to intel seems very very unlikely.

Apple is also not keen on dealing with companies that caused them trouble in the past e.g. nVidia.
The new 16" is ~.8 pounds heavier, and a bit larger, than the 2016 15" model, whose size and weight I was pretty happy with (though I was less happy over time with the butterfly keyboard, poorly placed touchbar, missing physical esc key, and poor trackpad palm rejection.)

It is still thinner than the 2012-2015 15" model (which had a perfectly functional keyboard and trackpad) but ~.3 pounds heavier.
Roku is literally a device that you purchase for using media streaming apps. If there's a TV with Roku built-in, that's only one gateway to their platform and I don't think it's a huge chunk of their userbase.
That link appears to describe a public discussion about Taiwan's membership status with respect to WHO?

I have no doubt that many in my government are on China's payroll, especially at the state and local levels. USA government is not a monolith, however, and MIC still pays enough people to keep the whole "security" hoax going.
Same here. I would only put maybe 2000 miles on a car per year. Insurance + maintenance alone would be more than I'd pay for a rental/rideshare every now and then.
F# compiler architecture might simply not be suitable. It started as a research project, and its code quality shows that. I don't think Visual Studio ever supported edit-and-continue for F#. Live reload seems to be an upgraded version of that feature.
There is a pin PROCHOT on all Intel processors that can be used to drop the CPU (and IGP, if equipped) into its lowest-power but still running state. It's designed to allow external voltage regulators on the board to assert that they are overloaded, but I don't see why you couldn't also wire in a turbo button there :=)
Thanks; we'd love to see how we help you build things!
Can you sell it on myWidgetAppStore? Can someone install myWidgetAppStore that sells apps? (the way I can visit myWidget.com if I don't want to use Walmart.com, because Safari doesn't block other websites but iOS blocks other appstores)
Why didn't your colleague call the police when the taxi driver kidnapped him? Are you sure he was taken against his will?
Aah, all these issues were apparent in the first couple years of the project (2008-2009).

Let's be frank: The early oughts want their '90s-level-graphics klunky 3D-metaverses back.

If the Snow Crash, Gibson, Matrix - level metaverse is ever going to be a real thing, it needs to be:

* technically up-to-date - at the graphics level of a recent unreal or unity game

* Mobile / pad-friendly

* AR//VR enabled

and most importantly:

* It has to be truly, organically interesting to experience from the get-go (as a viewer, not a content creator)

The present state of the field seems to have limited appeal beyond content builders and hard-case SL fans.
Underappreciated pun.
As a tech industry transplant who has become very deeply tied to the community, I always find posts like this about how everyone is leaving San Francisco a little tedious. If you don't know anyone who is firmly rooted in San Francisco, it's honestly because you haven't met a diverse group of people yet. There are folks who are born, get old, and die here; there are folks who move here and stay.

It takes some effort to get out of tech circles to meet people and it takes some effort not to just hang with other young transplants - but when all your friends moved here in their 20s it's not surprising that they depart in their 30s. But I encourage folks to make the effort and get involved in civic, political, religious, artistic life.

Honest question:

There is a lot of talk about Truth Social violating the AGPL license.

If it it a work in progress and not yet public, do they need to share their source code, or do they need to share it once they launch?

You do not get a flu shot to not get killed by flu. Nobody really expects that it would be likely. You take it to not get a bad case of flu. Well, bad case of COVID-19 is worse than bad case of flu. This alone should be enough to get vaccinated but there is more: you may also develop long lasting symptoms (aka long covid) or get some more serious complication like myocarditis (more likely than from a vaccine).
A three year old child is already generally far beyond what any software can do.

There will be a selection of people: the dumb, injected by poison that believe in the propaganda, apart from the ones that are able to think rationally and logically and also feel what's going on.

When the Veritasium video originally released I was similarly disappointed by the presentation of the video which used his very relatable Veritasium communication style to present some strongly facts while ignoring or dismissing others.

I think these are great responses to many of the points and simply shows that Tom is also a hypocrite. But being a hypocrite really only hurts his overall high-road image of wanting truth more than money/attention. It doesn't null out all of his argument and if you concede all of these points from Veritasium I think Tom is still making a lot of good points about self-driving capabilities and about Veritasium presenting information disingenuously.

Something not addressed by Veritasium's counters is how all 5 of the YT videos used the 94% human driver statistic without following the source or thinking it through. I found this use of statistics especially egregious because Veritasium is one of the people who helped me understand Bayesian statistics and how easily they can fool people!

I'm a believer in the Uncle Ben principle whereby the more power you accrue, the more responsibility you also take on. I am genuinely upset by the main point about how educational Youtubers are being incentivized to sell their authoritative power to corporations who have a vested interest in promoting their products as social good. I've spent quite a bit of air lauding educational Youtube as one of the best places on the Internet.

Imagine Bill Nye being sponsored by Facebook in 2011 to talk about all the benefits of social networks to mental health by showing how Grandma is never more than a click away from pictures of her Grandkids and Facebook Groups connect like-minded individuals allowing them to collaborate to create good in the world and everyone is connected to all the news across the world, making them far more informed and better able to engage civically...

Today we would view that as a betrayal knowing that even in 2011 there were indicators that social networks and social media may not be the great good in the world that Facebook was claiming.

Disrupting complex systems has unforeseen consequences, I think we would all benefit from some some humility when assuming that planned positive benefits of a major disruption will outweigh any unforeseen negative consequences, especially considering the scales we're working with.
If your complaint about Kubernetes is that it doesn’t provide you enough choice/extensibility, you’re probably not looking hard enough.

Runtimes (CRI) - Docker shim (deprecated), containerd, CRI-O, kata

Networking (CNI) - Flannel, Calico, Cilium, cloud specific ones, many more

Storage (CSI) - way too many
device plugins - GPU, TPU, RDMA/SRIOV NICs

Data store - etcd, dqlite in microk8s, SQLite/postgresql/mysql in k3s

DNS - kube-dns (somewhat deprecated), CoreDNS

Ingress - NGINX (multiple), HAProxy, Envoy (many), etc

Kubelet -https://github.com/virtual-kubelet/virtual-kubelet

Kube-proxy - Cilium can act as a replacement

Cloud-controller-manager for each cloud provider

kube-scheduler - https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/extend-kubernetes/configure...

kube-apiserver and kube-controller-manager are two parts where I’m not aware of any other implementations but a) they are kind of the heart of k8s and b) can be easily extended with CRDs/operators.
Yes frankly a lot of the US' problems are probably related to the fact that it's governed by people who won't be living there in 20 years
So why was the team that did customer authentication responsible for marketing and PR templates?
I'm plenty familiar with the DoD's scale -- I worked at an IC contractor for a few years, and much of my current work is funded by the DoD.

The problem isn't the amount of money itself, it's that it can't work and never will: too many stakeholders ruin normal and simple software projects, and the DoD is that at its absolute worst.

Asking all of the IC agencies to settle on something common is like asking all of the construction workers at a site to get their tools from a common toolbox: everything is going to be in there, but it's going to be a jumbled mess of different priorities that everybody resents.

His essay says that we overrate intelligence and underrate independent-mindedness and writing.

This is actionable - we can cultivate both with some minor changes, and meanwhile we aren’t likely to get much marginal return on trying to improve general intelligence.

If you’d like to provide an alternative theory, please do. But 100 words of eye-roll aren’t moving society forward either.

FWIW I was homeschooled and now work from home with a large team of folks in an office. I see a lot of people struggle with independent-mindedness, and I think it hurts our team’s productivity.
Great article. Im still super hurting that we have great cloud ides but no collaborative/multiplayer experiences except closed/proprietary ones. There's beena number of attempts in Theia or Che, but nothing has panned out to my knowlege.

As for closed/proprietary cloud envs, there's good options: Microsoft has LiveShare which works great. Repl.it just had a really fun write up on their multiplayer debugging but again a closed product: https://blog.replit.com/multiplayer-debugging
We're not "banning the non-American point of view" and I don't think you should stoop to such a cheap shot, which is exactly the sort of thing that garden-variety trolls come up with. I've consistently defended the minority viewpoint here [1], not out of political agreement but because I know how difficult their position is, and how most of them are posting in good faith—they're not spies, shills, bots, or agents, they're legit HN users whose background or relationships have naturally led them to their views.

> That's just not an accurate summary of my posting history.

I looked through your most recent 60 comments and counted 9 that weren't on flamewar topics, and that was being generous, because several of the latter were about Bitcoin and religion. It's true that a few were about software - but on the other side, quite a few of the other 51 were blatantly breaking the site guidelines. On balance, your account has clearly been using HN primarily for ideological/political/nationalistic battle. As you know, we ban such accounts. I spend a lot of time replying to people who feel that we don't apply these rules evenhandedly (from all ideological/political/national sides, btw), so I think it's pretty important to actually do so.

[1] I put this list together yesterday for a user who emailed because they were worrying about Chinese spies on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/chinamod. I think it makes the situation pretty clear, if anyone has the stamina to slog through it.
On Apple app store you can't sell on other stores to the same customers.
If you extend your abstraction to say that Android and Apple are two neighborhoods, it's like to say that Apple app store have a monopoly to sell in Apple neighborhood and for you to sell to people that lives in Apple neighborhood you have to pay apple 30% and use their payment system.

But on Android neighbourhood you can sell in other stores, or even create your own store, if you don't like to use android's app store or pay them 30% or use their payment system.

Some people living in Apple neighborhood says that they prefere the Apple app store monopoly because they can be sure that Apple store is safe to shop and there is only good products.

I love cars and am constantly researching and talking about them with other car people. Except I don't have a car. I would love a weekend car to enjoy specific roads and go on trips with, but the financial cost of having one doesn't seem worth it to me.

I still love em though.

Well, is it possible to run a profitable social media site that caps out at 10M users? Twitter with its vastly larger user base, just this quarter broke out of continuous losses. Consider also the demographics of Trump's base -- older, less tech-inclined. Not the target demographic for most advertisers. And the site will be radioactive for most vanilla companies.
While I certainly agree that tech has been able to 'dominate,' your use as an example of a 'stable approach' with 'as few regulations as possible' that 'removes such absolute power from a few unelected individuals' feels ironic, considering the... absolute power that unelected individuals like Zuck have.

Alas, I don't think it's likely any legislative body will pass meaningful tech regulation anytime soon.
> It's not volume, it's vertically integrated agility. Can't get Continental radar hardware anymore? Tesla updates their vehicle software to use vision only. Tesla can't get certain chips? They have motivated engineers (culture!) in house able to refactor the vehicle software to support a new silicon configuration.

If these are all true, why not implement these your proposed way anyway? There has to be a tradeoff somewhere...
