You can have high octane gasoline without lead. Suggesting that ethanol replaced lead is facetious.

It's also an absurd notion. Leaded gasoline to this still poisons the air of all 50 states in the form of 100LL avgas. Suggesting that a wasteful farming practice is saving us from lead is like shooting one foot off and the exclaiming that you "saved" your other foot.
I've been a (fairly loyal) Newegg customer for at least 20 years, but past history is irrelevant and your flawless experience doesn't mean that there aren't countless people being royally screwed over with no means of recourse.

I literally just today finally got reimbursed from defective RAM (2 out of 8 sticks were DOA) I sent back on the _24th_ and it only happened because I contacted them every other day (I kept records).

Old Newegg was great. It's gone. I'm done.

Hello Jed, that sucks. I understand that custom search engine exclusion is a financial decision by companies that can get away with almost whatever they want to do.

For iPhone, iPad, and macOS, you could use Swift and SwiftUI to write a single search app for your service. Flutter is pretty good also, then you could cover Windows and Linux also.
The tail end of the CRT would stick out the back of the TV set. One day, a picture on the wall came off and sliced that off of the TV. We did without a TV for a year or so as my dad thought good riddance. You can only watch so many Jack Lalane shows anyway.
Well the CPU was $50 cheaper so that offset the ECC premium. I cared about ECC much more than the 166 MHz difference or whatever it was. For people buying an i7 (this was before the i9 I believe) + 16GB ram in 2015, $100 is a pretty small premium (less than 10%). Decent mid range CPUs were $300 (gtx 1070). There were lower end Xeons equivalent to the i5 as well (lacking SMT/hyperthreading).

People use Google because it's what comes installed on their phones and computers when they first turn them on, and they never actively choose it. So while everyone uses it, few consumers make an active choice to use it. From talking to users a lot, many just assume it's the only option - as you say, Google has become synonymous with search in the same way Xerox became a word for photocopying.

Consumers use Google because it's the default and the only visible option when they turn their phones on. Unfortunately, that's what a monopoly on distribution looks like. People no longer make a choice and don't even realize they have one.

Why would you believe genetics plays a part? There is minimal evidence for that. You have actual evidence for things like your higher than average time engagement, nutritional indicators, as well as health and dental care. You probably live somewhere with decent air and water quality. Then of course the likely fact that parents have relatively prodigious vocabularies, fluency and articulation. This is why your kids are smart.

Genetics are a marginal element approaching none.

Homesteading requires massive amounts of land per person which is worse for the environment than living in a city and using industrial farming etc. Anthropocene extinction largely comes down to Wildlife needs space and homesteads don’t work for most plants and animals.

In terms of electricity generation coal is dying everywhere. Worse what people forget about ICE cars is extracting and manufacturing fuel results in massive amounts of pollution. What comes the tailpipe is still an issue, but oil refinery’s, oil tankers, oil extraction, oil exploration, oil tankers, 18 wheeler fuel delivery etc are all causing harm before you fill up the tank.

PS: I still own an ICE car, but I don’t drive that much.
> But yes if given person would be (almost) homeless in US, they won't be doing great in such a place, in fast developing big city. You can move to more rural place and not the center of biggest city, and cut expenses by at least 50%.

This is what a lot of people do. And the quality of health care in this area is taking a huge plunge. You can still travel to the city for things that you can schedule, but what about emergencies? I recently had a friend pass away, when an ambulance could have saved him. You may not have the full suite of services when you get outside of the top X major cities.

An article talking about retirement destinations is going to be talking about a lot of these people. Even an insanely low medical bill can be a problem for some of these people. That bill could still be significant, but it's also a massive difference from what it would be in the US. Someone who is living from one pension check to the next would have problems.

I agree. I think she was so chuffed that someone so young was interested in her work that she was willing to break social norms. I also think it definitely helped that I didn't mention a big reason I chose to pursue Plan 9 was that Glenda was such a cool mascot.

While I'm mostly joking about that last part, Lorinda did always mention that my childishness was expressed in curiosity rather than blatant immaturity. She said that was the key to being able to exist in these professional spaces without drawing undue attention to myself. It also helped that I steeled myself by participating in Usenet, where often times it seemed people were competing to be the most toxic person in the collective.
That's a great point, BASIC 2.0 has very few useful commands for graphics and sound, but these could be added, tailored to the particular platform of a given port. Add a means of "compiling", or exporting, and you get a nice tool for creating NES games easily.
The vast majority of HN comments care much more about being right than being kind, and this has also been my experience within the tech industry in general. I doubt that the author thinks that unlimited kindness at the expense of correctness is the ideal.
Some time ago, I overheard a conversation between my kids. The younger one wanted to find out about something on the internet (don't recall/missed what) and told the older one "let's ask Google" .. to which the older one (early teen) replied "Google is useless. It will only show ads and random links. Let's search Wikipedia."
The difference might be due to Google A/B testing their algorithm. That is, giving users different results for the same query trying to infer which results were preferred based on whatever happens next (user keeps searching, or user goes and stays on some site).
Interesting paper. However, the "solutions" to some of the problems aren't really useful - e.g., the problem of excess scope has the solution of "reduce scope"; and the problem of under-estimated tasks has the solution of "estimate better".

i guess it's useful to know the failure modes of projects, but would really like a real study on how projects that succeed navigate away from failure modes.

As a body increases in size, the surface area increases as a square but volume increases as a cube. The more volume, the more heat, and after a certain point your available surface area is no longer adequate to vent that heat.

Another example of a similar principle applies to insects: they don’t have lungs, and absorb oxygen directly through their skin. In earlier eras of earth’s history, there was much more oxygen in the air, and so insects could be much larger, because the same amount of surface area could absorb enough oxygen to fuel a larger number of cells.
This resonates hard. I know we're deep in the meta weeds here, but I find this constant demand for sources (and the always-accompanying derail about the quality of those provided) to be one of the worst issues about this site.

HN is not an academic paper, a Wikipedia article, a matter of journalism, a speech&debate exhibition or anything other than an informal discussion on the internet. In such discussions, people are allowed to quote from memory and personal experience, speculate, and occasionally be wrong... and I find the pressure to not do this to be not just a little disrespectful and dehumanizing.

I sometimes feel like a weirdo because I just don't miss the cathode ray tube that much, either as a PC monitor or as the living room TV. I'm 34 so I think I'm on the tail end of the last generation that used them when they were still common.

I've never once pined for them. I really don't miss moving them. I don't miss 17" displays (and lets be honest most people weren't using high end ones). I don't miss 21 inches being the biggest you could get unless you had insane money. I don't miss 1024x768.

Yeah the blacks were good but I wouldn't go back to using a '90s CRT monitor as a daily driver even if you paid me a thousand dollars.

The only thing I do miss is the 4:3 aspect ratio. If someone could do a nice large high dpi 4:3 LCD monitor that would be "shut up and take my money!".
And it's infuriating if that's not what you're trying to do.

Honestly, RTMP is a workhorse that powers most live video ingest today; its not bad, its just mostly frozen in time. Some issues that came immediately to mind are:

- It was developed to support flash; if anyone is sending metadata about the data streams are probably serializing flash objects, which is truly an experience when writing go.

- The supported codecs are limited and the spec provides no generic way to extend it. If you want h264 and aac, RTMP is great. If you want any codec developed after that, you need to either reach for another protocol or use a non-standard extension to RTMP whose support across different providers is flaky.

- Its TCP under the hood and that locks you to a fixed reliability/performance tradeoff.

- The 'spec' is a document released by Adobe which is not particularly great, falling pretty far short of what we'd expect out of the IETF or similar. Its overly detailed in some areas and woefully under detailed in others.

- RTMP isn't particularly tune-able; if you want to tradeoff latency for quality or similar, you're exploring the dark depths of the protocol.

None of these are damning but, as an aggregate, they go a long way to encouraging new protocols to be developed which avoid these issues.

> What problems do you have with "maintaining an RTMP stack" does any of these newer protocols alleviate? What do you mean exactly by RTMP stack so I can be sure I understand you correctly?

Maintaining an RTMP stack, at least for me, means making sure your implementation of underspecified RTMP works with other, third party implementations of underspecified RTMP. Some implementations are great(ffmpeg and OBS) whereas some will send you timestamps that oscillate between the correct time and 3 billion seconds in the future; or, they'll send you exactly 3 packets at the start of the connection with timestamps far off in the future. More subtly, some providers want you to send a packet when you're closing the connection and others just want to go away and get angry if you send them a 'goodbye' packet.

It's the EU. You can't register that car in other countries. You can travel free, go to other EU State and stay there for 3 months, but then you need a staying permission. That's the same with cars. The holder must be known to state authorities. Its difficult to get the address for ticketing.

That's not the way it works. You can buy it and you can drive it,
But you need at least a number plate that shows where your car is from and that's the country where you live. Also, we have different laws in terms of speeding and France is very strict on this matter already.

So, I can understand your point, but it seems you're not even living in EU and just speaking off your general experience with loud cars.

It's not about revving, but more about that the cars are not being tuned in between the governed checks to be as loud as a Ferrari or being repaired in case of a small hole in the catalysator..

There is no point in that.

A Ferrari is as loud as 75 db. A middle class limousine are mostly classified as 70db - which are allowed. So I take my car and get fined in Paris because they do the 55 db thing??? LOL?

This sounds a lot like "paleo diet" reasoning, which mostly seems to be bunk.

Even if DuckDuckGo and Bing pay absolutely nothing, it's good leverage to make Google pay even more, and its already public knowledge Google pays a lot to remain the default search engine on iOS, to the tune of billions of dollars a year:

> https://www.npr.org/2020/10/22/926290942/google-paid-apple-b...

etc, etc. Given Google pay a lot more for this privilege today than in years past, this may well have been part of the strategy.
"Let's be blunt here - almost no consumer consciously chooses to use Google search anymore."

This bluntness does not go far enough. People do not change defaults, no matter how "easy" it may be to do so.

A default is a pre-made choice by someone other than the consumer. There is no set-up process where the consumer makes a choice. The choice has already been made. Consumers do not make this choice. Even if they could, in practice they don't. That fact may seem insignificant but it is worth billions of dollars.

If I am not mistaken, the current CEO of Google spent most of his time working on "default search engine" (or "default web browser") deals before taking the CEO job. In probably the most important one, Google pays Apple a hefty sum to be the default search engine. It was estimated at $10 billion in 2020 and $15 billion in 2021.[1]

Defaults are effectively permanent settings. It does not matter how easy it is to change a default setting if practically no one ever does it. $15 billion is too much to pay for something that may or may not change. It does not change. It is money in the bank.

> burgers and hot dogs are mostly about condiments and toppings anyway

For hot dogs, yes. The meat is pretty gross, you want a lot of condiments. Burgers, though, if you need condiments then you need to take a step back and reconsider how you're cooking the beef. That is far and away the dominant flavor for any good hamburger.
Also apps that exist mainly to get you to spend more money (strangely McAfee is again the example!).
To prevent some of the issues with blurring or compression leaking sensitive info, one simple workaround I’ve used is to just put black boxes over the text as usual in any program and then take a screenshot and save it out from there. No accidental history or compression leaking.
I think as far as culture goes it would be simpler to promote the idea that black bars are the only way to do it, than that you need to make sure you're using a special software that knows how to securely pixelate text.

It is a cool idea though, and text-shaped pixelation is much more satisfying than random noise. (And if someone's cheeky enough to decode it, they will be very disappointed ;)

However you're arguing as if new competitors had to monetize the same way Google does and that's not the only game available. Imagine a competitor that doesn't monetize clicks but works on donations (like wikipedia does). If results are higher quality than Google's the users will follow. Or maybe a search engine that promotes a particular product like a CRM tool for example.

Disruption typically doesn't come in obvious ways or else someone else would have done it (including Google and its gazillion dollars).
