I'm not aware of any "fooling" happening, AFAIK, the batteries were genuine batteries and were for products that Apple no longer provided repair services for.

So, yes, Apple should absolutely allow repair shops to source genuine components for products they no longer support. Blocking this is uncontrovertably anti-consumer behavior that boosts Apple's profits while hurting their users and creating more e-waste.
Imagine applying this same non-logic to car seat belts, motorcycle helmets, rock climbing harnesses, et multa alia. If you don't want to wear a helmet, that's fine, but don't bother trying to justify it with anything other than "I don't want to", because you really can't.

Even strong and careful skiers wipe out occasionally. A helmet is the difference between shaking it off and brain injury.
Afaict, frission isn't a quality of music itself, but rather a chill-like response you may have while listening to certain songs. If you get frission while you listen to a song, then yes, it counts as frission to you.

Edit: but yes, this key shift is rather beautiful and unexpected.
I hate them to this day. They often are not easy to drive, their wheels tend to block, and navigating a supermarket full of people pushing those carts is a nightmare. I switched to doing grocery shopping online because of that.
Discontinuous Technological Progress In History (2020)
Why do we teach our kids games? Is it so they become especially good at playing chess? or poker? or bridge? Are we hoping that they'll go pro? I think your comment misses my point. We prepare our kids for life. Not just for a job. And life involves all kinds of skills.
This comment won't do well right now but I suspect in the future we may come back to this idea. I believe more work needs to go into automation of forming/welding frames for underground homes as the temperature is rather constant under ground. 3D printed/molded? Some locations will need specially built units that can handle moisture. I have probably binge-watched too many mining/tunneling videos but I could see this technology becoming affordable to the consumer through technological optimizations, maybe? Anyway moving the home under ground could provide additional room above ground for a garden or parking spots. Underground homes would also be tornado resistant. Another advantage is energy efficiency or moving towards being carbon neutral. There are concrete / shotcrete companies making carbon absorbing material now.

I am thinking of the real world example of Coober Pedy, AU [1] They have subterranea hotels, mines, homes, recreation facilities and more. If I ever went to AU that would be my first stop.

Anecdotally my home is partially earth bermed and even on hot days hot being around 101F it is cool in my home and I do not even own a HVAC unit. One of the many reasons I moved was due to heat and sleep issues.

It is indeed placeholder pricing - I am not entirely sure how to structure this business yet, really wanted to lean toward an open-source model with premium support (hence the 256 pricing tag on premium support).

The framework itself is free. Only if the user require hands-on contracting work (i.e, a demo of integrating with their in-house framework) would it trigger the support price.

Your feedback indicates I should separate the "enterprise-support" pricing from the "Developer" or Team pricing, and also make it less expensive (certainly lower than $256). Since the base framework is free (like Next.JS), how much would you as a solo developer pay for a feature that allows you to test your extension without having to submit and wait for the chrome/edge webstore review?
This is a nice piece of software, but I wish they had a clean, documented Python API to be able to drive it purely programatically (à la OpenSCAD / CADQuery).
The “chip shortage” was fake. The actual issue was inflation since the start.
I spent the first half of my life living 7 degrees south of the equator, in a city where temperatures in the hot season routinely go near 40o Celsius. I can tell first hand, it wrecks your sleep. Sleeping in a mattress is unbearable, even under low humidity and with a fan, your underside gets too hot, and the entire night is spent flipping in the bed. The only effective adaptation available to poor people, without AC, was to sleep in hammocks as a default. It avoids getting your underside too hot.
I have no idea why you would even think a project like this is vaporware. It makes no claims that you can't test out by just downloading it and giving it a spin. You could have known its not vaporware in less time than you just spent arguing on HN: https://aardappel.github.io/lobster/getting_started.html

I can't help you much with your language choice since you appear to be very particular in what you want. Nim is likely more mature as a project, so I suggest you go with that instead.
Brings back so many memories. Back then getting new stuff would save you money, but now things are going in opposite direction for some use cases. Supply chain has eliminated some new products such as Raspberry PIs. I have instead been buying up broken screen laptops for about $50 to get better powered mini servers.
You are on to something there.

Additionally, if we had people sit down and think about the situation, we would have protected and isolated the elderly instead of the insipid and endless all or nothing crusade we were handed instead.
What reason is that? Piracy? Or security?
> that bond yields would never normalize. Now that they have, there is a risk free alternative to stocks.

Treasury bond yields are 3%, inflation is 8.5%, so in real terms you are guaranteed to lose 5.5% annually if you hold bonds.

Or basically instead of risk-free gain you are holding gain-free risk.
CMSes and SSGs aren't necessarily mutually exclusive: WordPress can be an SSG. The only thing about SSGs are they don't static webpages for serving but the process of creating it doesn't matter, whether it's handcrafted (MarkDown) or integrated into a CMS.
I don't think Duchamp's urinal is particularly great, but DALL-E'S process is pretty much the opposite. Ask it to conceive a "fine art scuplture of a fountain" and it'll draw something that looks a lot like the existing sculptures, with water spouting out of it

Only way you're likely to get a urinal from DALL-E is if you ask it to draw a urinal (or curate a dataset full of urinals, possibly mislabeled).

And nobody would have considered Duchamp's urinal art (never mind still be talking about it today) if he'd produced it when asked to design a bathroom rather than an opportunity to install whatever he wanted at an independent artists' exhibition.
This completely misses the forest for the trees and misattributes causality. The Dutch don't wear helmets because the traffic culture and infrastructure are completely different, not because of some questionable statistic no one has heard of. In the Netherlands you feel safe as a cyclist. Drivers look out for you because they're also all cyclists at other times. Cycling is so prevalent that it's hard to explain to anyone who hasn't experienced it.
I wouldn’t consider the return of stolen property a “gift” regardless of how much it may have been improved by the thief.
I have not read the study, but I would hope that they had the cyclists wearing the same clothes and riding on the same stretch of road in all tests. Otherwise you will end up with the situation where helmeted riders are more likely to be riding fast on roads that aren't as safe for cycling, Which would naturally lead to differences in driver behavior around them.

Like other people have said, I shop on a daily basis, there’s a store close to us which is open every day and the price difference compared to other, bigger stores which are located just outside the city is not that big. It’s me, my SO, our dog and our cat, it’s pretty doable, fresh produce and fresh fruits every day (especially now, as the summer comes) is pure heaven.

We’re not big meat nor processed food consumers, and ordering take-out food is oftentimes comparable (if you add in the opportunity cost of the time and energy spent cooking).
What's missing from DALL-E is novelty and invention. The greats artists all invented something. Van Gogh's style never existed prior. Neither did Warhol's. When cameras were invented, artists complained and wanted to unionize to prevent their use. Yet we got Ansel Adams out of it.

George Eastman helped democratize that process and, in doing so, took most of the art away. His slogan for Kodak was, "You push the button, we do the rest," anticipating the way AI illustration works.

But no amount of DALL-E output will ever create art and the reason is in the first paragraph of this story: it all comes from existing images. Photography has become so un-artistic now that everyone is a photographer and photos are staged with Instagram-ready locations before anyone even takes the (exact same) photo.

This obsession with tech and the consummate commidification of aesthetics has even leaked into other classic art forms. When was the last time anyone invested in architecture as an art form? Most buildings are vernacular, a kind word for popular and hideous.

Don't get me wrong. I love both art and tech. I've sold my art photos for thousands of dollars, and I've spent thousands on tech for making music when I could just sing for free. There's a use for both these ideas, but the invention of a tool does not art make.
I would say that he produced better art, rather than that he was more skilled, because he could've produced work below his level of skill.

During the pandemic many stores in Germany left all the carts unlocked and it seems that some of them didn't go back to the old system. So probably they've realized it's a silly thing to do and maybe it actually bring more customers if you left the carts unlocked. I actually used to chose stores that don't require a coin to unlock the carts.
Although apparently(?) less engineering-oriented, check out OpenScad, which has a much wider install base and I think is more mature with a large ecosystem:

I think certain songs provoke an increased response from me, after I've listened to them a few times already. For example, Warning's "Watching From A Distance" [0] (c/w metal with sad themes) gives me that feeling around 2min 15sec when the main riff drops. But that didn't happen until after I heard it a few times.

Nice, that’s even better :) add some keyboard controls (maybe left for artist, right for robot?, and then either key to advance) and folks can zoom through!
In amateur boxing (olympic & certainly in the UK) headguards have been banned because fighters are likely to take more blows to the head if they're wearing a headguard, causing more trauma and more eventual damage to the brain - not sure the analogy holds up for cycles or motorcycles though.

Interestingly, bare handed boxing often results in far less head trauma - and while it tends to result in more cuts it has far less of an effect on fighters long term health.
I literally just took the first search result. If you go down the list there is no shortage of studies linking cancer to nearby residents and workers. E.g. the same study which found the mesothelioma at 11× also found multiple myeloma at 3× the risk along the same workers. My second search result shows a study linking thyroid cancer to downwind residence.

Cancer risk is not the only thing that made Hanford a terrible site. They also systematically leaked radioactive water into the Columbia river for over 25 years. The cleanup effort is now one the the biggest employer in the region and the cost is estimated at $113.6 billion

I would expect that if the nuclear industry wasn’t as regulated that we would see numbers like these (including the deaths by asbestos) throughout the country.

I'm curious...

How did you determine this to be true?

Is being scientific a pre-requiste for something (value maybe)?

Is
I once saw an accident where a cyclist going straight through an intersection was hit by an oncoming truck turning left that was impatient, didn't see the cyclist and gunned it between cars. The cyclist was launched headfirst into the bumper of a car stopped at the light and her helmet loudly cracked in two. She was still hurt, but I'm sure she would have died without that helmet.

If some riders choose to not wear a helmet, that may be fine, but prohibiting helmets is irresponsible. Riders have a much higher cumulative risk of accidents that are not their fault than customers. It's a workplace safety issue.
I wonder how much irreparable damage the central banks have done by "printing" unprecedented amounts of money. And that is what makes this "cycle" unique (i.e., is comparing it to the 80s accurate). Is it realistic to expect the economy to "catch up" given the excessive amounts of money supply that's been pumped into it?
>If I go out and ask everyone I know, if they are happy with the current unrepairable appliances, the amount of people who answer yes is < 10%.

The question seems pointless because it's a combination of asking something that people always want more of (who doesn't want more repairability, at least in the abstract?), and fails to mention the trade-offs (eg. price, thinness, water resistance).
Global economic problems were not caused by COVID19; it was just a convenient opportunity deflect blame away from more fundamental issues. One of the main real problems is that a decade of near 0% interest rates had led to money printing on such a scale that certain activities which would otherwise not have been profitable were able to be profitable (in nominal fiat terms)... But while these activities were reaping high nominal revenues and profits, they were destroying real value from the economy.

Eventually, the situation became clear to some people at the top but by that point it was too late to prevent a catastrophic economic crash, so when they heard about COVID19, they pressured politicians to respond aggressively with lockdowns; that way the virus could serve as a convenient scapegoat for the crash and as a justification for massive fiscal stimulus to allow the elites to quickly cash out of their investments... The elites knew that after 2008, their reputations couldn't take another beating. They couldn't let themselves take the blame again.

The unfortunate reality is that the COVID19 fiscal stimulus didn't solve any problem at all for the average person; it was purely a money-printing scheme to allow the elites to cash out by appropriating the wealth of regular citizens via the dilution of the value of their employment contracts and fiat-denominated savings.

The inflation we are experiencing now is a direct result of the elites' appropriation of public funds from the money printers.

Now we are facing some significant problems; after a decade of living in a parallel monetary universe in which irrationality, recklessness and negligence is rewarded, we have collectively lost our common sense. Our ideas about business, success, startups, finance, the economy, politics, everything is all wrong. For 10+ years, we trained ourselves to function in a totally dysfunctional environment and learned all kinds of lessons which only make sense in the context of that dysfunction.

As we head into a more contractionary monetary environment, we have to unlearn everything and re-evaluate all business relationships; we have to disregard people's past financial track records (since they are meaningless in the context of a functioning system). In fact, it seems unlikely that someone who is particularly successful in the context of a dysfunctional system would also be successful in the context of a functional system... It's a totally different skillset.

Exactly this. Also, for example, no security cameras at Trader Joe's and no scales in the self checkout at Whole Foods. I'm a grownup, you don't need forcing functions to make me behave like one.
How does it make the shares worth more if they are not entitled to dividends?
I grew up there and came to the United States to go to college. I was there during the Noriega years but was in the U.S. during Just Cause. As I recall Panama uses the Balboa as its currency and the Balboa is pegged to the dollar. Panama does not make paper currency but it does have its own coins (which are the same size, weight as American coins).

As one rabiblanco put it to me the last time I was there, “When America left we had to grow up.” Therein lies the pernicious nature of benign colonialism.

You have no idea what Panama would look like had the canal not been built. Maybe it would be more like Costa Rica than Nicaragua. The difference between Costa Rica and Nicaragua is that Nicaragua had the temerity to get a government we didn’t like. Heck, you don’t even know if Panama would be a country in the alternate timeline where the canal isn’t built.

How do you know the extent of my knowledge of Panama’s history based on my original response? Must I be ignorant simply because I believe the U.S. ended up being bad for Panama by the time of the Treaty? Who propped up Noriega and encouraged the expansion of the PDF? Who wanted Battalon 2000 to be in Amador and was fine with the PDF being the de facto rulers of Panama? (Until Herrara Diaz made his accusations and the people rose up.)
Missing info : what are the company's riders carrying ? How much are they incentived to ride fast and take risk ?

I don't think barring Uber eats driver from wearing helmet would be safe. I don't know about this company, though I hope they don't absolutely ban helmet so much as not mandating them.
Okay, the bread point is true - I will grant you that. I happen to live very close to a small market but wouldn't buy anything other than bread there because they certainly charge for the convenience. You can also bag and freeze bread, but there is a decrease in quality.

Just disagree on vegetables, I am a massive veggie lover and the difference is not nearly as much as you are making it out to be. I don't each much processed food.

I also don't eat animal products, which might be influencing my opinion since I perceive those as fast to spoil.
I thought it was very weird how the parent comment just glossed over it all as if it wasn't an issue.

Having Studied this for decades,
It is on purpose and through sheer incompetence.

1) the 'greens' in the 60's were authentic but then they were co-opted by fossil fuel and military industrial complex that didn't WANT competitive nuclear power construction industry.

2) corruption and incompetence: unions killing big construction in general. when is the last major water project...dam or otherwise (alaskan water pipeline project planned since 1950's) that the u.s. was able to pull off. ?

3) conspiracy: the only thing really stopping nuclear power being built all over the west , and being built properly in the east ( there is a construction explosion in india/china) ---is proper spent fuel reprocessing.

nuclear spent fuel is the biggest impediment to building plants. and despite how seemingly simply the problem would be to solve if you threw enough money and regulatory power at it----it is still 'unsolved'.
this is ridiculous. and the solution is not 'thorium' or other as of yet unproven technologies. it's just 'processing' the waste in any number of existing processes--that are feasible if the engineering is built out. but it's not.

the opposite. yucca mountain used the idea of 'burying the fuel' to steal money for skunkworks in a tunnel, or just for more tunnels.
Instagram is a platform dedicated to presenting fabrication. The entire point is to create a better version of yourself. An unrealistically perfect distillation of all of your best qualities.

Why on earth would instagram want to break this illusion in any way? Their entire existence is in service to the illusion.

> So you wear a helmet as a pedestrian then?

I'm not going multiples of walking speed on something standing upright only thanks to gyroscopic forces, so no.

Also even when running I have way better maneuverability than as a cyclist.

Generally limbs > wheels when it comes to getting out of trouble.

I wear a helmet when skiing though.
Do you happen to know the overall change in accidents? That's the big question behind the motivation for this change. There's no doubt that helmets would reduce the percent of all accidents that are head related, but does some reduced concern about safety result in more accidents overall?
Very clearly explained recent history. Thank you.

> Then in December, the megacaps we're squeezed further until the S&P 500 had a negative return relative to price!

What does this mean?
What is negative return relative to price?
Current CDC estimate has 220k deaths among working age people (under 65). Maybe you’re not meaning to minimize that impact, but that’s sort of how your comment reads
> I wonder how much irreparable damage the lockdowns did to the economy as we knew it before the pandemic.

Reasonable enough to wonder, but not without the corollary question: how much damage would have been to the economy without lockdowns? Yes, there were no doubt many side effects of the lockdowns that were not anticipated. But we lost at least 1M people in the USA (significantly more if you use excess death data). Lockdowns may have prevented that from being anywhere from 2-5 times higher. If we had lost 3M people, we get close to 1% of the total population of the USA, and the impact of that on the economy seems potentially enormous.
Bake your own? Supermarket bread is crap anyway. Good rye bread stays good in paper wrapping in a fridge for a looong time.
Having that canal here in Panama and having the guarantee that the US will intervene with force of the security of the canal is threatened is the best thing for Panama. Without the ousting of Manuel Noriega by military invasion, this country would look a lot more similar to Nicaragua or Venezuela. There are still people here that are bitter about it, but there are also many that recognize that Panama owes much of its success and stability to the US.
