>Industries and business absolutely have to be allowed to die if they are no longer necessary and desired by the market.

The defense industry would like to have a word with you. There are certain industries that the government props up solely to maintain the capability in times of crisis. I would argue that ensuring an adequate capacity to generate a self sufficient food supply is important enough to meet that bar.
> then i ended up with soooo many bookmarks

yep. I've been thinking about this problem for some time now. With Google, and especially Slack, what I've discovered is resurfacing is more important than organization. You have some tiny thread of memory than you want to input into a system and have that system bring back the webpages and context. This is what Slack gets right.

We have Slack, we have Google, but we do not have anything that is personal. A personal search engine. Something like macOS Spotlight, but more contextual. In Slack you can find individual messages which match a pattern, but you can also expand to see the entire context of that message with date and time. The bookmarks in Chrome do not even tell you the date/time you added them. That's such a basic thing that is missing. The ability to create a "view" of your bookmarks organized chronologically would be another useful tool. In addition: what other sites were you looking at around that time? What city were you in? What was the weather in that city at that time? Sounds silly, but this sort of info can jog your memory.

The browser extends into the global but we have not yet discovered that the browser should extend the other way, into the personal. On one side we should have Chrome, on the other end should be Joplin or Obsidian.
Just as one data point, this looks great but there is no way I could use a web mail client for security reasons (as a security consultant, we use PGP a lot and need a local email provider). In the comments I see it only works with Google servers to boot. I'm not sure if this will ever be for me as well, but I'd love something like paying a small fee for a version of Thunderbird with one or more of these features patched in.

This is not true. For example every time Summoning Salt uploads a video, which happens every few months, it will show up on my recommend feed because YouTube knows I'm willing to watch their ~1 hour documentaries even though I'm not subscribed to them.
I was the victim of a home robbery a few years ago in Cleveland. Thieves hit multiple homes on my block in a few hours, TRASHED my house looking for valuables and stole about $1000 worth of stuff from my home (an easily identifiable bike, cash)

Cleveland PD showed up, shrugged their shoulders, gave me a police report for my home insurance claim (which covered nothing that was stolen) and said there was no chance the crime would be solved.

A few weeks later I had to contact the same CPD district office because someone I sold something to online threatened me with physical violence and showed up at my house at 11 PM to "settle the matter." I went to the police station and was again told directly by the police there was nothing they could do, even though the man was parked outside of my home at the time, waiting for me to engage.

Absolutely worthless institution.
The definition of finality used by you and the author of the piece is so vague and all-encompassing as to be meaningless. There isn't really anything to debate other than semantics.

You could just as easily say that cash payments aren't final because you could lose your wallet after you put the cash in it, but using the example of Bitcoin and the federal government is going to get more clicks.
I like this a lot and agree with pretty much all of it.

I'd add: Figure out a way to detect that I'm doing a re-watch of a series and do something with the progress bar on episode previews to reflect that. So if I've watched all of a series/season and then watch episodes 1, 2 and 3, maybe the progress bar on episodes 4+ reset themselves to an unwatched state or have some kind of greyed-out tint to show where I left off this time around.

I've been using Shortwave in Alpha for about five months and I think you're reacting far too strongly to one line in the blog post. The product does a bunch of things that encourage an Inbox-zero workflow. Emails are organized as a to-do list, and the archive feature is way more prominent than in Gmail, so the most natural workflow is to go down your inbox and check things off. Most of the organization described happens automatically. And the organization helps getting to zero - all of the confluence notifications I get, for instance, are grouped in a single thread and I can scan and archive them quickly.

I get to inbox zero 2-3 times a week, and that wasn't happening before when I was using the Gmail client.

> I need systems that make it easy to extract the relevant informations from them, and put the result in one central organized place for action, and another one for archive. A system that filters noise, and get me in control. That's it.

Yes! In my experience Shortwave is better at this than the client I was using previously. I think it actually addresses some of your issues with email.
That should be illegal
thanks for the extra info - I do feel that location is also a big issues for the problem I ran into - I am apt to agree that location, size, even gradients as another mentioned; basically all the things button-ey make / made a different..

so I can see how if all the other factors were aligned, that roundness would not be an issue - so you are right - but given that the other things were out of whack in the wyze screen issue - non-roundness vs roundness would of made a difference for sure.. but yeah, if the location was better and the sizing a bit better - I can see how roundness would not matter / make much of any difference.
The poll you are citing looks like it asked if Republicans thought trump was the "true president". I could see a lot of republicans responding flippantly just to poke fun and see some feathers get ruffled.

Also, N = ~750 Republicans polled over 2 days but they extrapolate the results to the entire country? Not exactly rigorous science here.

> Honestly, the world would be a much more amazing place if it would be taught in schools that just "it doesn't work" does not convey any meaningful information.

Couldn't agree more. My first step when troubleshooting anything for someone else is to extract as much information as possible to understand what I'm dealing with. Having that information from the start would save me a lot of time.

>I can't say I perceive the dismissal from the quote alone.

True, the quote alone is not necessarily dismissive or arrogant, and your interpretation could very well be correct. I'm assuming it was dismissive because the author seems troubled by his own response, which he interprets as "I just told him that he's wrong and he doesn't know what he's doing". That's where my interpretation comes from.
And it's not just the spammers. Any topic that touches domestic or international politics in any way almost instantly brings out a lot of bad-faith actors, here or anywhere else on the internet.

> Even the heuristic of "only trust accounts older than n years" isn't perfect, as eventually a few people will undoubtedly sell their old accounts on a dark web market for a little extra cash...

Yikes, I hadn't thought of that angle. That would explain some of the long-dormant accounts on Some Other Place that suddenly start spewing out-of-character garbage, assuming they weren't password-guessed, data-breached, or keylogged by some rando.
> especially as I presumed NumPy to do far better

If you are running your benchmark on a single Numpy operation then I would expect Numpy to have equal or better speed (you are not paying for JIT compilation). However, when you are doing several operations, Numpy will do a loop on array elements for each operation while JAX can fuse everything, that can end up making a big difference.
And it's not limited to the USA either. If you read British news, they write about expats who "retired" to Portugal.

It is kept in the same sense that you can draft a contract declaring you the owner and supreme ruler of the moon.

No, it's the opposite: Everybody moving around coins has to submit to applicable laws – or face the consequences of violating them.

The point is not necessarily that this hack is too much, but it's yet another hack on a system that is already so full of hacks that parsing it is incredibly complicated and error-prone, requiring more hacks in the future. It's a self-reinforcing loop. Do we ever say enough is enough?
But as you drill down in detail you run out of enough cases to measure properly.

Benford's law requires data that is distributed over a wide range--it's going to find problems with any data that is too granular. Hospital sizes aren't distributed over wide enough a range to apply Benford's law to.

This came up not too long ago in looking for voting irregularities--somebody who didn't understand what they were doing applied Benford's law to precinct-level voting data--and of course it failed horribly. Duh! Voting precincts have an optimum size and thus will be pretty clustered around that size. The percent going to each candidate generally won't vary too widely, either--thus giving a substantial clustering of the numbers voting for each candidate. There's nowhere near the range of data to apply Benford's law to.
This would be even more awesome if there were holes in the case to allow for swapping the SD cards.
For the same reason some apps (used to?) launch on iphone first.

Is it possible to add a custom (3rd party) GraphQL endpoint to Netlify Graph at this stage?
I think people's own experience tells them that public organizations are poorly run, not their assumptions that you have no basis for making judgement on. If government proponents spent half the effort making the DMV and TSA friendly and work that they do attacking people they would serve their cause way better. But no, just tell me my lying eyes are wrong. BTW if you are trying to have a discussion with people, profanity against those with a different view does nothing but make your argument look weaker. Moving the voucher claim from the theoretical (which I totally supported) to what we have learned from the actual (which has converted me to against) is a much better argument to make then attacks on people (telling them their assumptions are wrong, even though you have no idea what they have based them on, is never going to work). Maybe your post made you feel better, but next time maybe make a post that improves discourse and maybe leads to a better world (and doesn't alienate someone like me who is leaning to the outcome you desire).
This is just a weak attempt at re-framing the issue. There is a much simpler way to approach suffrage - are governments making it more difficult or less difficult for voters to lawfully cast a ballot in elections? If you apply that simple question to the scores of voter suppression laws being proposed and passed all over the country, it becomes painfully obvious that these laws are by and large making it more difficult for citizens to lawfully cast a vote. Which makes sense since that is the goal of these laws.
Shortwaver here! We've had a few former tempo users switch over to Shortwave and are enjoying the product. We have a few features with bundles that we really want to build that would allow you to replicate a Tempo like workflow of triaging your email in batches.
Its more than just "can we do it", its also "does it make sense".

If you are doing a limited number of missions, it doesnt particularly make sense to go reusable, because you're going to have a hell of a time getting suppliers. If you are going to do 6 launches a year, and you can do that with 2 rockets, then you might think to build 4 rockets total. If youre developing your own engines, you now have to spend all that money to build maybe 4-16 total engines, depending on the design, which means your per engine cost is going to be massive. Same with core stages and everything else. You end up paying massive costs per component, and now you have to figure out what to do with those production lines you just started. Do you keep working on making more engines? Do you shut down the line because you've made enough for your 4 rockets?

That, combined with a lot of reliance on solid rocket boosters, which are less important to make reusable, makes the idea sketchy. If we needed to put tons of stuff into LEO 30 years ago, the projects probably wouldve been attempted before. We just didnt really have the launch cadence to support it
My assumption is that everyone who does this will want to detect version >99 sooner or later.
> surgeon general moment

I get the impression that the GDPR is ushering in the surgeon general moment that you mention. It's slowly starting to improve the health of the web. The latest rulings may even finally kill the cookie banner. Hallelujah.

I admit it's crap, but I once added a temporary fix to a system of mine that blocked clients with a user agent matching "Chrome 54" (at the string level) due to a bot (I know it's not ideal, but it worked in the moment, and genuine users were no longer using such an old version). I doubt Chrome 540 would turn up any time soon, but I can picture other folks having done similar things with "Chrome 12", say, and wondering why things fail with Chrome 120(!)
> nothing went viral

Things didn't have societal impact, but viral was things were there at least since the 90's. Normally dumb jokes like that email propagating virus that instructed you to scratch all your disks and forward the email to all your contacts.
Not even this is a guarantee. This happens to me regularly:

An interesting idea.

A somewhat similar solution to the same problems? Or at least follows the same kind of thinking to a different solution perhaps.
Depends on which AWS service, right?

But most of my customers used RDS and are now on MySql, MariaDb, or PostgreSql. Similarly, S3 -> CEPH. Nginx as front-end, Varnish as cache, Ha-Proxy for load balancing. Queues? RabbitMQ. Map-Reduce? Hadoop. Lots of data? ZFS.

There are A LOT of great open source projects to base your infrastructure on.
Yeah, the phrase they should have used is "influencing the market" rather than the technical economic term.

Of course, influencer means something different now too.

Finally! I remember installing Chromium OS on my netbook back in 2011 and I always felt like a supported build from Google has so much opportunity to renovate old computers
Most of these are fine, but U is a massive mistake.

The Unix philosophy is fine for tiny systems, but absolutely terrible for building any nontrivial system, because it causes the complexity of the system to grow super-linearly with the number of features - O(n^2), in big-O notation, where n is the intrinsic complexity of the application (roughly, the features you want) and the big-O measures the total complexity of the application.

Why? Super quick breakdown: code has to be broken up into modules in order to prevent human brains from exploding, if the modules are too small then inter-module communication complexity dominates (because you then need a large number of modules to implement your features), if the modules are too large than intra-module implementation complexity dominates, and the Unix philosophy requires erring on the size of too-small modules.

For empirical evidence: none of the non-trivial applications you use daily (bash, firefox, chrome, windows, linux, macos, blender, krita, gcc, cargo, llvm, npm, node, vim, emacs, vscode, sublime - whatever you want) are composed of a collection of Unix utilities, or the equivalent (flat program hierarchy consisting of thousands of call sites to hundreds of tiny functions).

The evidence is very clear: the Unix philosophy does not work for anything but small systems.
Another aspect of Google that completely bugs me.

Put in a search term.

E.g. "fat wallet"

"About 22,100,000 results" it says.

Click through to the last page.

"Page 6 of about 198 results (1.03 seconds)"

So out of 22 million results, I can really only see 198?? That can't be right. Wait, it says, "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 198 already displayed.
If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included."

Yeah, that's what I'd like, I want to see all the results. CLICK.

OK, it takes me back to "About 22,100,000 results," so far, so good.

Click through again to the last one.

"Page 10 of about 22,100,000 results"

Ok ok. Let's keep going. CLICK.

"Page 11 of about 415 results."

That's it.

No more results shown.

What happened to the other 22,099,585 results????

Just throwing my weight behind my agreement and belief that Google has gone way downhill in the last two years to where if there was a good alternative (and no, DuckDuckGo is not a good alternative), I'd use it in a heartbeat. Google as a search engine sucks now.
I see Google still has not realized that they should list the devices it supports in the announcement...
Have you considered consumer reports? I’m of the Reddit persuasion and find it’s a good resource. Bummer everything is polluted these days.
The transaction was final though, in the real world. The fact that the government can physically find your private key (or physically compel you to give it to them) and use it to make new transactions is irrelevant. All you're pointing out is that after you receive money in a transaction you can later participate in a different transaction using that same money.
In a country that hasn't done very much about the virus the cumulative stats will be distributed well enough. Note how all of the countries in the lower right part of the graph are the ones that managed to control it and thus pretty much freeze the cumulative number.
I've been writing and selling my own software on the web full time since 2005. On the whole it was a 1000 small improvements to the software, website and marketing that improved the sales day by day and year by year. Rather than a blinding flash of inspiration that tripled sales overnight. But probably the single best improvement in sales came when I 'segmented' my event table planning product from a single price to 3 different price points, with the top one 10x the original price.

On a similar vein, it seems like most streaming services don't let you browse actor catalogues. Thanks Prime, for showing me a list of unclick-able actor pictures. It seems pretty obvious that someone might want to select an actor in something they just watched and see all the other things that actor is in, especially on something like Prime where you can presumably purchase or rent most if not all of the other things they're in?
Yes, a few times if I recall correctly. It's just not particularly accessible treatment (for HIV) as it requires the complete destruction of the host immune system and essentially 're-growing' a new one - hence this is usually a pleasant side-effect of treating certain cancers.

The height reached was more of a limit imposed by FAA, and that SpaceX had more important things to demonstrate than to literally just burn more fuel and go straight up. I mean look at how they had to turn off engines as they ascended just to keep the velocity in check.
The main bottleneck is the machine learning to extract metadata, the transcriptions are actually handled very fast at an early stage.

Someone mentioned that it might be a good idea to create a federated network where people just link their feeds and share them with each other on demand, which I have no real experience with but I think could work quite well.

I've only been working on this for a few months, so this is all still very experimental and there's no way I can build something like that in a short amount of time, but we'll think of something that makes sense and gets people as much access as possible.
>Another not so great facet is that a lot of stories are very coastal. It's admittedly not HNs fault because if you're not in CA or NY you kinda feel left out in some respects. I wish a lot of tech companies would go to other places to A/B test new products and services.

Could we chalk this up due to the major tech hubs being on the Coasts? Yeah there is the whole "Silicon Prairie" idea for the middle of the US and there is tech outside the US, but where the majority of the "hot" companies are on the coasts of the US. Along with that, there is some power in doing your testing against a near by demographic that you have a better understanding of.
google is not "dying"

but its quality is getting worse because they have no real economic incentive to get better as long as lots of people don't start using other engines

average people don't care or even notice whether their search results about kim kardashian and football are seo-optimized garbage, convincing semi-automatic gpt-3 based content or actually quality content

people like us whose entire jobs couldn't be done decently (or at all)without really efficient search engines tend to notice declines in quality a lot faster

so no, not an echo chamber, at least not at all in regard to this kind of topics
Some of the big private Victorian cemeteries around London were funded like this. I guess they thought they could get enough money together to create a fund, and run the cemetery off the profits. I don't think it worked out anywhere.
Yes, that's what I meant, thank you - putting an Airpod in next room to eavesdrop.

Airpods are pretty small, must be much easier to sneak them in compared to a phone. And unlike a phone, they're not providing any means to figure out who is the owner.
