I am not endorsing the innovation idea here. I'm just saying that a well known company that's expected to see a big jump in value in the short term will have too many applicants to reasonably sort through. They can put up arbitrary bars, and arbitrarily high ones, and still manage to hire. Coinbase could disqualify everyone born on Mondays and Tuesdays without seriously impacting their ability to hire, probably

There are no high PPI TV OLED that fits the monitor market. TV OLED panel ( or WOLED by LG ) only gets down to ~40" TV size and with 4K resolution. Meaning you get sub 2K resolution in 20-30" size.

Smartphone OLED by Samsung or BOE or other maker are too expensive to scale to Computer monitor size.

And burn in. OLED just isn't well suited for computer monitor usage. ( Apart from QD-OLED )
Agreed on both counts. Those chips indicate some truly rough handling.

Writing out constant names is a minor and rare event (even more so with any editor featuring autocompletion). This does not come close to “useful”, let alone extremely so.

Off topic, but articles like this are a good case study in whether Google should return articles written for the sole purpose of marketing and SEO or not. It’s quite interesting, and probably useful when you’re researching flags. On the other hand, it’s obvious that the Kobadoo wrote it as “content marketing” ie probably paid someone to write it who has no organic motivation other than that and no particular interest in flags.

It’s easy to suggest Google just “remove the spam” but this can be a difficult conundrum.
I hate logging in with emails.

Password manager is the best solution. I prefer not to make login dependent on phone/email access.
I always use login + password, I don't need additional devices / tools (which make the whole process more difficult).
Anecdotally, I find even dedicated heavy lifting (1-1.5 hours) does not improve my sleep but similar durations of high-intensity cardio (45 minutes+) heavily improve my sleep even comparing for differing work-related stress baselines. I alternate lifts/HIIT,Tabata and do this regularly (2+ years of 5-6/week workouts) and still have reduced sleep latency times compared to before dedicated regular work-outs. My job is 100% sedentary desk job as well. Dunno if that helps.

I went through 3 lenovos in the past 17 years. I had 3 failures:
1. HDD failed.
2. SSD failed.
3. I dropped it from kitchen countertop. Backlight had to be replaced, but otherwise fine.

There was zero failure associated with ports, keyboard, trackpad, or board. Mind you, each machine went through thousands of dock / undock cycle. Even batteries were holding strong charge after 5 years.
These were work laptops and I didn't baby them at all.

With that said, I wouldn't a buy cheapo Lenovo ($500) because it did fail on me completely. Dead.

So was the Channel tunnel. It takes quite a bit of time after physically digging the tunnel until you can actually open it to the public.

> And if its so amazingly expensive as you claim, why was the only commercial competitor 2x as expensive?

Perhaps because other tunnels left space for potentially saving someone from the tunnel in case of an emergency?

Hopefully this never comes to pass, but it seems very hard to believe there is any chance to escape in case of a tunnel fire.

> The amount of hate that get thrown because a company wants to improve a technology is just incredible.

It's the other way around. They're just a tunnel boring company, but are constantly being hailed as some futuristic transportation solution. They're particularly a company that seems to bet on reducing costs (all the way down to European levels as far as I understand, American tunnel boring prices are apparently hugely inflated) beyond anything else, such as comfort, speed and most importantly safety.
That can all be true and be compatible with the fact that the ability to delay gratification provides certain advantages.

That's why, at this point, I only buy mobile devices that meet milspec or are otherwise ruggedized. A mobile device that doesn't look like it would be right at home on a battlefield or a construction site is just not for me.

Why is "shininess" an attribute at all that people are willing to trade off for the hassle of dealing with mechanical failure? Probably because, at the time when they make their purchasing decision, they are too willing to take it on faith that a manufacturer makes sane choices around tradeoffs between looks and likeliness of mechanical failure.

Well: They don't. Stories like the above just show how easy it is for manufacturers to extricate themselves from liability. I had that experience some 15 years ago, when I was dealing with a phone that came down with a bad case of cracked-screen after two weeks of normal use. They just made a blanket statement that a cracked screen is always the customer's fault. And when I say they, I don't even mean a repair technician tasked with making those sorts of determinations all day long, but the process seemingly was just a pimply-faced kid in a retail outlet just saying that to any customer who came in with a cracked screen.
>The ability to render an automatic table of contents based on hash-tags or gather/conform citations and references programatically, has _never_ been a selling point of word or any other editor until recently when markdown starting making this type of feature obvious.

This is not true. Word processors have had this feature almost since the beginning.

Microsoft Word autogenerated a TOC from text styled as a header all the way back in the nineties.

WordPerfect 4.2 (1988) could generate a table of contents via specially tagged text. It also supported paragraph numbering and auto footnote and endnote handling. This was specifically added to speed adoption in the legal market and it worked. Law offices are some of the last WordPerfect holdouts today.

I don’t believe Wordstar had such a feature though.
The seam of two screens would surely make using a stylus impossible even if you could glide your finger across smoothly, no?
I looked at Wallabag and went for Pinboard again. Even subscribed for two years.

Seems, it was a mistake.

Archiving stopped around 85% of my bookmarks.

I've had those problems before, especially when the owner played U.S. politics and didn't care much about Pinboard anymore. I still went back.

Pinboard's support doesn't reply to mails, Pinboard's Twitter account doesn't reply, either.

I've asked for a refund (within the one week refund window). No reply.

Maybe he'll reply here. Last time I had such problems he also ignored my mails for a long time and finally replied on HN.

People, look at Wallabag seriously. Maybe Pocket. And maybe Archivebox (https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox).

Props to Apple, which in 2022 still provides an easy option to remap caps more or less straight in the keyboard configuration. And actually provides that even on iOS (which I was stoked to discover), though the remapping options are limited.

And boo to microsoft, the only significant OS where that’s not a native option, you need the powertoys and in my experience it’s quite unreliable: regularly capslock will revert and you have to go into the ‘toys and flip it off and on again.

I’ve never looked but I guess it’s some sort of registry setting which every update resets, without the ‘toys being aware of the info?
Their phones did this for a while too.
Normally I avoid playing armchair psychologist— I don’t even own an armchair, let alone any significant psychological training. However, I experience anxiety comorbidly with a broader condition I didn’t recognize until 40, and your cycle feels quite familiar. If it is anxiety, a therapist could likely help you implement some CBT exercises to quickly, drastically, and permanently address the symptoms, without drugs, in a finite number of sessions. Most of these common psychological maladies have online questionnaires that could give you a better sense. Just, you know, don’t do them right before bed:-) Good luck and apologies if the suggestion was presumptuous.
Also, some TVs have been known to scan for open networks, and use those without permission.
It emphasizes that my first post already provided an answer to their "zinger" rhetorical question, and attempts to clarify in narrative terms why I would have a problem with the essential nature of this approach to abuse prevention. As far as refuting, well, you can't get an ought from an is. There's a first order principle we'd both disagree on, based around what kind of precedents to set, around what sort of world we want to live in.

I no longer ponder a question I once had: "Why are so alarmingly many people on here okay with living in a world full of machines designed to increasingly profile people beyond their control and leave them feeling dehumanized by mechanical overrides?"

Because I am quite confident the answer is: "This is 'Hacker' News. We'll write the software - we'll be in more control than the plebs. It will give our institutions power and ultimately benefit us".

So what can I do to refute that, other than to say "No, the abuse carried out through these systems will be worse than any abuse prevented by them. It's a horrible, rotten thing to do to people and if we were good, we should accept significant material losses to do activism to prevent it from happening".

But, due to prevailing attitudes of our times which I personally find to be quite complacent, I recognize I'm not going to be able to simply shake people awake about it. So be it, let my generation make its bed and lay in it.
In the same way we humans will likely never stop raping children or keeping slaves, sure.

>Web App Development Environment we developed back in 1999. It was comprised of an IDE, Web Server, Object Store, Virtual File System, Template System, and polyglot (Java, JavaScript, and Python).

The stockholders can opt to change the CEO and pick one that abides to rulings. And as you point out, citizens can change governments and pick ones that give them the things they want. But is the Dutch antitrust authority part of the government?

Am much much older, but I won't stop because you don't like a perfect valid thing, do you want to censor me or the books where that phrase was printed?

I will also not stop using it each time some dev or software publisher attempts to use a the word "free" in a undefined way to promote something that takes freedom away from others. If you want people stopping doing this you need to be honest and clear, say "BSD gives developers and publishers more freedoms" , or "from a developer popint of view BSD is offering freedom where GPL puts restriction on taking away those "pesky users/products" freedoms" .

As reitzensteinm points out, even if every thread does "x = x + 1", x can decrease.

x starts as 0.

Thread A evaluates x + 1, getting 1.

Thread B executes the full statement 100 times, setting x to 100.

Thread A finishes executing the statement, setting x to 1.

So x decreased from 100 to 1.

But I agree with you that this is a race condition, not a data race.

To lower smartphone prices in India, Samsung fills it phone with samsung + non-samsung app bloatware, installs 4-5 shitty social media and game apps after every minor update(they call it security update). Has ads allover the place, in the lockscreen in the settings.

sRGB is a very modest goal.

I just got an RGB OLED laptop with a gamut significantly wider than Display P3. It's just glorious. UHD content like 4K movies just pop in a way that you have to see in person.

I think investing in [existing tried and true technology that powers the whole world outside a bubble] makes little sense. We should invest in [technology that doesn't exist but could possibly be applied in roughly the same space for many times the cost].

It's impossible for electric planes to be cheaper than electric rail - everything about a plane is harder to achieve, the size will be smaller (since it also needs to lift off the ground, not just drive), safety is a much bigger concern (leading to much more time for boarding procedures). The only advantage air travel has is that it doesn't require real-estate.

Instead, electric planes still need decades of engineering work, and what we know for sure is that they will be less efficient than kerosene planes, as there is no type of battery even plausible today that could achieve anywhere near the energy density of gasoline (in Wh/kg, not Wh/l as is sometimes shown).
In today’s world of big data, I would say The James-Stein estimator is one of the most important concepts (although it was 1950s).

Are you sue that’s the reason? French has an equally wacky spelling system, but French people are notorious for refusing to understand tiny errors in pronunciation by foreigners (while North African French speakers will accept anything you say so long as you get a letter or two right).

Meanwhile, Spanish, with its perfect phonetic spelling is spoken by a people who will go out of their way to understand you no matter how bad you speak their language.

My experience is that it’s mostly cultural, and often comes down to whether the person you’re speaking to has themself had to try using a foreign language, thus gaining the empathy to help you out.
This sentiment tends to really ruffle feathers around here and I don’t understand why.

With EVOO there is at least a certification seal from the COOC for California-based olive oils. Not only does that certify oil quality and safe storage practices-- it certifies that it is actually olive oil. This is necessary because, according to various sources I've read, there's a better chance than a coin flip that the EVOO bought at the grocery store is a) some other oil (and dyed green), b) cut with other cheaper oils, or c) substandard non-virgin olive oil.

So I guess my question is-- how do you know that the avocado oil isn't fake? Is there a certification body? Without one, it seems like the current popularity of it would push manufacturers to use the same tricks as with EVOO. But again, I'm not even talking about quality or storage-- just whether it is actually the oil claimed by the label on the bottle.

I mean-- there's a oil manufacturer literally called "California Olive Ranch" that does an oil with a little graphic that says something like "Global Blend!" And apparently they used to be COOC certified manufacturer but got the cert revoked because there's rule that putting "California" on the label requires all the olives to be from California (obviously).

Hell, there was even a story about a mysterious proposal to change some of the language in the certification guidelines to soften this rule, but a lot of the members petitioned against that.

Given this weirdo shady oil environment I'm just assuming everything is either dyed vegetable oil or some other trick unless I can get my hands on a really good reason to believe otherwise.
I never ever said that the tiny approximation of subsets of our brain was enough for AGI. Just because we haven't found out the exact structures of the neural net in our brain and how to emulate it, it's still very much a neural net. It's just bigger and more complex than anything we can make our emulate yet.
Yup, you're completely ignoring the argument about how to effectively focus everyone's efforts and ingenuity on fixing the problem of carbon emissions, instead substituting class-war logic, and assigning me to the other side of your war. Confirming the misunderstanding I brought up.

A Pigovian tax is not a redistribution scheme, it's a fix-misallocation scheme.

> The poor really don't give a shit if your flight across the Atlantic gets more expensive.

What does giving a shit have to do with what I wrote? Yes, a proper carbon tax raises the price of such a flight; wealthier people disproportionately take such flights, and therefore are paying; as UBI, wealthier people get almost none of that back, as there are few of them. There are probably fewer flights. Plane manufacturers (and competing transport systems) invest in finding more carbon-efficient designs. And the same pressure applied throughout the economy, without commissars decreeing who flies how much, etc., also throughout the economy. Do you want the problems solved?
