I grant you point one, fair enough.

However your second point makes no sense. Why, in that context, would you say "Interesting read for a European" ?

If you're looking at it from the eyes of somebody living in the US wishing to establish a company in the US then you are no longer reading it as "a European".
> I think we can count ourselves lucky this wasn't a nuclear armed missile.

You can't accidentally fire a nuclear missile and have it go off.
Wow... TLDR reply here is: I am extremely grateful for all these feature requests (thank you!!!), we are recording all of these internally! We have been/and will continue to build Stock Unlock around feedback like this (from the community!)

More context...
All the features your described for our watchlist are great, the current watchlist feature we have right now is pretty "bare bones" and we are planning a lot of improvements to that in the coming months. (Sneak peek: We are also building a portfolio tracker too!)

I also am on the same page as you with not needing to pay for a screener/things that are already free, we are doubling down on the tools in our platform that we just couldn't find a good/affordable solution for elsewhere (hence some of the prioritization of these features, it's a fun balance!).

The features you're requesting around news is great. We will be looking for a good way to find/filter news. I totally agree that a lot of news outlet are... so terrible I just never ever want to see them.

The Pedal-to-the-Metal, Illegal, Cross-Country Sprint for Glory (2007)
I don't really "collect" vhs tapes. I have a few that are weird or have never been released on any more modern format but I wouldn't pay more a few dollars for any tape.

At least once a week the vhs collector group I am in on facebook has posts from people asking how much a vhs movie is worth or offering to sell some common Disney "black diamond" movie for thousands of dollars.
This is very useful for vhf and uhf radio communications as well, which are normally* line of sight.

In fact, the adsb-receiver[1] software package for setting up an aircraft tracking station includes a neat feature where you can use HeyWhatsThat to calculate maximum line of sight distances to aircraft at various altitudes and include these contours on your aircraft tracking map.

* atmospheric phenomena such as density or humidity differences or reflections from other aircraft, the moon, or even meteors can enable reception over the horizon.

Ask HN: How should my company publish its developer blog?
We're thinking about starting a dev blog. I don't think we want to implement anything custom, and I know Medium is pretty bad these days, and particularly unpopular with people in these circles. Would Substack be a weird place for this sort of thing? Is there another platform people like? Or do we need to set up a static site generator with a prebuilt blog theme?

Well, if you want to get fucked, I guess.

This article seems to know nothing about software development, and could have been generated by a badly programmed AI.
I mean, I say Google but I can't imagine any website will allow a logged in user who is committing rampant ad fraud.
i would be against usurpment - freezing is the most that should be allowed. Otherwise, it's too easy to justify theft, and next time it might not be some despotic dictator, but citizens.
a) it will help noone (piracy), however Microsoft as a vendor will no longer be trusted by many countries

b) this will be a middle finger to retail users, not large companies and government who are more likely to test updates before installing them

c) I find it interesting that many Silicon Valley companies took investments from DST (=Usmanov =Putin). Putin and his friends directly benefit from those companies, but I see noone asking Apple to brick laptops for engineers of those companies. Should we ask those at least donate to humanitarian efforts? I've submitted a question (poorly worded perhaps) and it was flagged almost instantly.
Exactly my thoughts! I installed Arch a while back but it was taking too long to boot up (I use a pretty ancient laptop). So I went back to good ol' Debian.
This regulation is saying that if you did build an autonomous Russian roulette revolver, there's no requirement to outfit it with a pistol grip and a trigger.

If there is a fully driverless (not driving itself with a human still in it) truck - as companies tell us is their goal - it does not increase or decrease safety to have or not have a seat and a steering wheel in it.

The argument here is that building an autonomous Russian roulette revolver is a stupid thing to do, which is orthogonal.
There are plenty of reasons to post good content that are not related to ads, and very weird incentives to write good content otherwise. Content for ads is riddled with SEO, hyped headlines, short shallow and unoriginal articles.

Good content is posted by people and companies for indirect benefits: a researcher makes videos about papers to motivate and held himself accountable to the public, a company publishes documentation and tutorials that are related to their business, a hobbyist does the same for pure fun. A teacher posts lesson plans to collaborate with other teachers. We'll be fine without content-for-ads.
I like targeted ads (if I ignore the general threats to privacy and democracy they pose). There are certainly ads I've enjoyed seeing, mostly ads for specialized software, tools or machinery that I wouldn't have known about if not for targeted ads.

I still hate ads. Youtube has maybe five interesting, relevant ads a month it can show me, and I'm willing to see each one maybe twice. That's ten ads a month. But Youtube has hundreds of ad slots to fill every month if they want to show me two pre-roll ads before each video and a couple within the video. Those slots have to be filled with something, and the few relevant ads mostly get drowned by the garbage. Other platforms have the same problem.

Ads on the internet have fallen to the tragedy of the commons. If there was just a couple of them they would be more relevant and less distracting, but every advertiser and platform is incentivized to increase the number of ads without end, leading to where we are now.
They do it because they want you to always be logged in to your Google account. If you're logged in you can simply change your language settings there.
I had an overly polite couch surfer from South Africa who couldn't find my place in the Tenderloin of San Francisco. He really struggled because he kept asking people "pardon me, may I ask you a question?", which is what nearly every panhandler asks before they ask you for money. I told him that he should learnt to be direct (at least in America) and simply ask for directions.
Which, from a UK PoV the whole "property owned by offshore shell companies" debacle is so thoroughly vexing.

Yep! Hence why I imagine a review & like/dislike system wouldn't be an order of magnitude worse than their ML system but without having to pay millions in ML salaries, complicate the pipelines, and have a crazy number of microservices.

No offense but I don't see the point of this. Take a random sample of your users using whatever tooling you build, vs me who's using a total market index. Let's wait 20 years and it's unlikely any of your users will beat me when adjusted for risk.

Honestly people have become way too arrogant due to 2020 and 2019 being a ridiculous bull market. Most of the time people picking individual stocks get obliterated.
How do people reach technical audiences on Google search when the said technical audience has Adblock installed? Do any founders or tech startups use Google Ads? I don't know any tech person that doesn't use uBlock Origin.

I've seen people recommending StackOverflow ads to reach exact people that might be interested in your product, but I've never ever seen ads on StackOverflow - thanks to uBlock Origin.

I clipped the quote incorrectly, but the part about the founders. Considering they established a national bank in the first two years, it seems like they did want a central bank.
Gotcha, thanks. I used to use Synergy 1.x, and it was great. Recently returned to the fray and didn't have time to build-from-source (or didn't find an easy 1.x installer for new OS X) so grumble-grumbled and paid for Synergy 2. and expensed it.

This reminds me of the chat situation where a coworker will start with "Hi!" typing indicator.

In either case, it's like "yes, you have my attention. I cannot focus on anything at all until you hit enter, and I also can't reply because I have nothing to reply to".

I also can't complain like "hey if you're going to interrupt me can you just say the whole message so I can actually reply instead of being held in absolute suspense for many seconds of my life?" because that would be, frankly, even worse than what they're doing, which was done out of a kind of ignorance of etiquette.

All of the major browsers (except perhaps Safari?) are built to increase the control of the browser vendor (through profiles and tracking) and web developers (through increasingly intrusive hooks into the OS). All of this at the expense of the user. Users are _not_ given fine-grained control over what websites can do with their computer, and what control still remains is being slowly eroded by changes to APIs and intentional hiding/removal of important privacy settings under the guise of "not overwhelming users with too much choice."

Extensions _should_ be able to help here, but browsers keep slowly marching forward with changes that take away extensions' ability to perform meaningful actions on behalf of the user. Extensions these days are pretty much only useful for turning the browser into an application delivery platform, like the Apple App Store or Google Play. Firefox switched to "web extensions" some years ago, neutering many useful extensions. Google is now switching to Manifest V3 (which Firefox has stated they will adopt), which means the days of effective ad blocking will soon be over.
There is no "driver" in this scenario, aside from the software.
Perhaps they’re not using proper gold connectors.
Audio cassettes sound good if you used a quality tape.
I tried Barriers to share mouse+keyboard between work and private laptop in the same wifi. Somehow, I had issues with linking both PC.

One of the alternatives is what I use currently - Microsoft Garage Mouse Without Borders ( https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=354... ) which suites my needs.

ps. using 5GHz wifi significantly reduces mouse latency.

If you search for an english book title on Amazon.de it gets auto-translated to german. I first saw this a couple of weeks ago and it was super confusing. Chances are the search results will be nonsense or empty.
I had a good laugh when I saw my grandma using her iPad calculator app to do her finances. The app was displaying an an ad, she didn't want to see it and stuck a sticker over that part of the screen. :-)

Is my grandma's sticker going to be illegal in this forced advertising future? If not, where in the stack between the webpage and your eyes will it start to be legal to block? What about blocking in the graphics stack in the OS? The display? A sticker in front of the display? A smart film in front of the display? Smart glasses? Will it be illegal to avert your eyes from advertisements, à la Black Mirror?
Most of us in the 80s taped Star Wars off network TV (including ads) - they used to show it once a year. And for some reason you could see the masks around the TIE fighters against the star background. When I was visiting my parents for Christmas last year we watched the Ewok Adventure that we had taped on VHS and the most interesting parts were the ads!
IMVHO that's a bit of a wrong evolution, personally having a small p.v. domestic system I do prefer things that eat much and constant energy for a short time so I can schedule it when the Sun shine and the produced energy is MUCH more than my needs.

More expensive systems to consume less are logical in cities or for things that can't be scheduled, when p.v. and other renewable with similar output characteristics can't be used.

Much of the rest is just not for efficiency but for sell cheaper crap for the OEM at a bigger price for the customers.

Wow. I've rarely come a cross a demo in which things keep getting better and better and better and better.

I find it hard to believe that one individual plus a small community of hackers have built all of it. Amazing, amazing work.

The one question I kept asking myself as I was watching the demo:

That too, if it lost contact with the command post it would probably just go until it ran out of fuel.

There's https://alire.ada.dev/ which is sort of like NPM or Rust crates for Ada. Obviously the number of libraries is much lower and the quality may be unpredictable.
The TR-808 and TB-303 sound pretty good to me. I was in an electronic rock/pop/avant garde trio throughout the 80s and we used those two devices (and a Sequential Circuits Pro One) a lot. I still have pattern notes I could use to reproduce our old patterns with these emulations. They sound pretty close to me, though you have to allow for the unreliability of memory.
You wrote correctly "should". Today they can't even compete with the average driver, regardless of what the companies tell us that try to benefit from them.
Medium is pretty bad, but it's still used extensively, including by Google and Netflix. There's also dev.to and HackerNoon. SubStack seems like a weird choice IMHO.

I'd setup a static site with something like Hugo , but if you don't want to waste too much time Medium or equivalents is perfectly fine.

HN has limited me so I am posting a comment here. First of all, I am happy that people are actually engaging instead of dismissing the comment as Russian Propaganda (though few have). Secondly, there are some important misconceptions:

1. One commenter said that "Nato did not invade Libya" and quoted UNSC resolution as the basis for intervention.

This is not true at all. NATO did invade Libya on 31st March 2011. The UNSC resolution enforced a no-fly zone. It did not order a NATO invasion. Please read the resolution again (UNSC 1973). NATO flew 26,500 sorties. NATO invasion ended on 31st October 2011. Article 5 wasn't invoked either (the only time it was invoked was when 9/11 happened). So there was no need for NATO to intervene. But it still did.

Even the no-fly zone was farcical. It was meant to protect civilians. General Carter Ham (Head of US Africa Command) said that he was unable to differentiate between civilians/rebels/Gaddafi forces etc [1]. It was up to the pilot to take a call on whether he wants to bomb or not. This was reported in April of 2011 as well where NATO planes erroneously bombed row of tanks that belong to the rebels [2] clearly violating UNSC resolution of protecting "civilians".

In fact, the Indian and Brazilian representatives made the same point, when the UNSC 1973 was tabled, that the resolution was too vague and poorly drafted. That is why both countries abstained from voting for the intervention in Libya.

[2]: https://www.france24.com/en/20110408-doubt-over-nato-militar...

2. One commenter asked: "Do you think the Cuban Missile Crisis looked anything like what we're seeing in Ukraine right now?"

We almost faced Nuclear Armageddon. So it was far worse. Right now, the situation is lopsided with Russia having clear dominance over Ukraine when it comes to nukes. Cuban Missile Crisis was even worse as it was two nuclear powers facing off. Check out "Black Saturday". US Navy dropped "signaling" depth charges on Soviet B-59 (which was a nuclear submarine). The captain of the submarine thought the War started and wanted to launch a nuke. It was averted thanks to a Commander who was onboard. If not for the Commander, it would have lead to end of the World as both countries would have launched counter nukes.

3. Why aren't you condemning Dictators/Authoritarians/Totalitarians etc?

I am condemning them. But I am sick and tired of the hypocrisy that we in the "Free World" exhibit. We try to project that we are "Angels" and here to rescue people from all evil. Yet we are the biggest perpetrators of violence in the World.

It is the "Free World" which invaded 84 countries, killed millions and displaced millions more. Hitler/Stalin/Mussolini/Putin/Mao/etc etc are all faces of evil. Just by statistics alone, we beat all of them combined. It is high time we acknowledge this and act on it. Stop unnecessary Wars. Stop setting precedents for others (Dictators/Extremists) to justify their wrongdoings.
You're personifying companies as wanting to be responsible, moral citizens. I agree that this is a beneficial perception for a company to have, but it doesn't make sense to me when you go beyond public perceptions.

A company is a complex web of self-interested individuals maximizing their own value functions within the constraints of the overall function of maximizing shareholder value. Most of those inside individuals will make decisions with their morals weighted in. But if it interferes too much with the overall function of maximizing shareholder value, then they'll be replaced with other individuals who either have a different moral code or don't weigh certain things as important.

For example, would you characterize a big cigarette company as a psychopath? Are the shareholders psychopaths? Do only psychopaths apply to work for them? It's just a web of individuals who happen to maximize their value functions in a way that suits the cigarette business, and just to the extent that society tolerates.

It depends on if we do end up with only one party, or if banks end up running nodes too. I believe Visas blockchain projects require institutions to run nodes. If you are using USD-CBDC as a reserve currency for your country you'd sure as hell want to make sure that the currencies aren't being changed from under your feet, as would banks sending money between each other.
> So it's possible to say "Russia is invading Ukraine, so every Russian must die"?

Certainly not, but people on social media are never this precise. Bigotry will be implied, or unclear; but the effects are the same.
I have been doing my GUI programming in Pascal

Lazarus was a great crossplatform GUI framework to have a native GUI on each platform. You put a button on a form window, and then it calls Win32 on Windows, Gtk on Gnome, Qt on KDE, ... to get their native button.

Unfortunately, it is really lacking maintainers. It still works best on Gtk 2. They have been working on a Gtk 3 version for years. I am not sure if they have been making any progress. I guess the modern way for a Linux GUI is to have a Qt5 version or a Win32 version on WINE.
