So don't hurt daddy then?

Meanwhile faceless people do the exact same thing every week

Yes they do. So what is the difference? How about the extent of actual harm?

When faceless people do it, virtually no one get hurts because they don't take it seriously.

When the richest man in the world does it openly and profits from it and lots of people suffer real harm in the process --- there can be legal repercussions. As there should be don't you think?

What he did with Dogecoin looks like a fairly obvious example of "pump and dump" --- illegal in any "regulated" market.

It’s not irrelevant at all. You use your capitalization for margin loans and credit. Naturally you’re hedging so it’s not super important but I wouldn’t call it irrelevant in many cases.

And gains are great! But tax consequences should be considered if you plan on reentering the position with the same capital.

But it is radiating it 'back out' less efficiently than a white roof. Thus black solar panels may indeed be a net negative if every building otherwise would have had a white roof.

In a land of mostly dark roofs it's probably a net positive.

So much of this advice is “ride to the left” and I wish to emphasize it.

Novice riders are trained to stick to an invisible (or painted) bike lake which ends up with them being far less visible than they need to be.

Your safety is more important than some car’s need to get to work 5 seconds faster, and you shouldn’t feel controlling anxiety if some idiot honks at you for riding in the main traffic lane. You have right of way there just as you do in the bike lane. (Bikes are road vehicles remember)

I was taught “control the lane,” when necessary. It’s not unsafe to ride in front of a car that sees you. It’s more unsafe to ride in the far right of a too-narrow lane while inviting a car to come alongside you and squeeze you in the event that they have to/forget about you.

That means at intersections, areas with pedestrians crossing between cars, loading and unloading of cars, and other low visibility areas or even in other types of areas , when car traffic is traveling as the same speed as you, riding in the center is a better spot for you.

When you stop at intersections, ride up to the front of the line and rest directly in front of the car there, especially if it’s not clear which way they might turn.

As you approach standing cars at intersections or slow moving traffic, if safe pass on the left, not on the right where the blind spots are much bigger.

In general, be unapologetic about ensuring your own visibility. It’s the greatest tool you have for safety
So basically, if you behave like an asshole on their machine, they kick you out? Seems fair.
> some other spot in the AWS data center

Well I can only guess so much of the underlying egress internet routing of AWS. At worst, if no explicit region is specified, it will reach the global aws endpoint through internet which is likely in a complete different part of the world than where you are, redirect to the local endpoint, and back.

> what’s the risk here?

Minimal, though I'm not sure the question is really relevant.

It's a bit as if you design a house with no internal doors, and you have to get out the window and back through the front door whenever you want to change room. I guess that wouldn't make you house less safe, though it's definitely a design that smells weird.

There is a real security point to make on the fact that it forces you to open access to egress internet though, and that is not to be taken lightly. There is no reason to allow a server full egress internet, and accessing AWS through internet basically forces you to do so, or leaves you implementing DNS based firewalling which is error prone, less secure, and overall a pain to setup.

> unless something has changed in the last three months they’re not available for all services. would you advocate against using those services?

No. Though I would (and do) strongly recommend implementing either DNS based firewalling, or a dynamic ruleset based on AWS ip ranges (they publish it as JSON).
If there is a many-year delay (to account for the low observed inflation during years of monetary intervention during the 2010s), then why are people blaming today's inflation on printing during the past two years?

My point is that people often claim that inflation is tied very tightly to printing and that the government is full of idiots who should have known that printing would cause high inflation. The post that triggered my comment was the following.

> I found Yellen's comments staggering - having to apologize for not seeing inflation coming - after the US increased money supply 40% from 2020-2022.

> What other pretty basic economic realities are not being considered by our leaders?

Yet it is clearly more complex than this, since simple relationships between printing and inflation do not account for the last decade of observed printing and inflation.
That's hard for me to understand. I'd take 'crucial to the enconomy' to mean 'positively coupled to the rest of the economy' or 'the rest of the economy would be worse off/less efficient if this financial instrument were to be outlawed.

Why does this follow from 'makes a lot of money'? That seems like a very complicated question to me.
There's an (unverified) myth that retention on mobile apps is better. This is one of those things that marketing people keep telling each other without ever verifying the facts. (Unless you deliberately make the web version inferior, of course.)

The reasoning behind it is that you should take real estate on the user's home screen at all costs, because your app's icon will serve as a reminder and people will allegedly come back to it and open more often.

But what matters at the end of the day is the product and the value it brings to the users. I'd argue that deceiving the users to provide real estate for your app does not help your business in the long term. If you get more installs today by coercing them (like Reddit does, for example) you will most definitely see some other metric such as retention decline over time.

Broadly, users - us that is - are not idiots. Deception works momentarily and can have an immediate effect on some metrics. Long term though, every user and no matter how smart or dumb, will eventually assess the value it gets them against the money, against their time, or against the "home screen real estate" they provided.

Speaking from my own experience with multiple mobile apps: there are many ways you can trick the users but you can't trick the longer terms statistics.
It says in the article that there are

> ... stories about how the increasing temperatures from climate change kill people in heat waves, but fail to mention that the same increasing temperatures also save lives because fewer people freeze to death. Yeah, I don’t trust any of these sources.

This is not sourced, but then again it is also not science.
Add the German site "ebay-kleinanzeigen.de" to this list. Some responsive design would be easy, but they'd rather have their users use the app with more ads and all the other sweet revenue juice.
Pretty interesting advice with lots of less obvious advice along the lines of "doing this may be less legal but safer". An additional fact like this is riding without a helmet can actually make surrounding drivers perceive you as more dangerous, end up giving you more space, and there by make you actually safer. I still always ride with a helmet but it goes with this website auite a bit: doing things that are less obvious and potentially less legal can actually reduce your chance of accidents. Another great quote from the page: wearing a helmet doesn't reduce your chance of getting hit, it just makes it better if you do get hit. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Riding safely is more important than wearing safety gear.
Its funny though - because their mobile web interface is SOOOO bad, I'm using the "Apollo" app, which means I dont see any Reddit ads, and its a much better experience.

If they didnt have such a crappy web experience, I would probably just use the native web page and see some ads.

So its actually driving people away to alternatives that reduces their revenue. Crazy...
Unless you have an absolute monopoly market position you are a democratic institution where the ‘votes’ are people giving you their hard earned money in exchange for whatever you’re selling.

Where things go wrong is ‘stakeholders’ (aka non-paying people/customers) demanding influence for whatever is important to them like savings baby seals or whatever. They know they can’t influence the company by ‘voting with their wallet’ so seek out other means to change the company’s direction. Like, as a totally random example, wanting voting rights to the future plans of the company as an outsider with no knowledge of internal goals and/or if the proposal would even be profitable.

People mature and the way they interact with others can change. I see this post not as a public self-shaming, but as the output of a personal retrospective that the author felt would be helpful to others to learn from instead of having to repeat the same mistakes...

IMHO, content like this is very useful to my development as a person and a member of a community. (Not as a rule-set that must be blindly adhered to, but as an opportunity for self-reflection on my actions and how they impact others...)
I see the title and My first thought is literally: feed for livestock?

I cut hundreds of tons of hay a year for the cows I feed. The grass captures carbon, clover and various other plants add nitrogen back to the soil, and the grass (carbon) is fed to the cows. A well maintained pasture can be worked for centuries and increase production on average year over year.

Show HN: Fourplay.fun – A Cooperative Word Game
I built this websocket game with the intent of learning the actor model with Actix, and getting better with Rust. The front end is made with Svelte, though I'm not really a frontend person, so if you poke around it's bound to be clunky. I've tested it with with Chrome, Firefox and Android, but not iOS or Safari. If you find errors with those, I'd appreciate a quick note.

I have yet to clean up the frontend, but you can find the backend source https://github.com/kilroyjones/game-server, if you're curious. This could have been built with socket.io, but who doesn't want to spend more than double the time building a higher performance server to push around 100 bytes of JSON?

The game is cooperative because I enjoy cooperative play more than competition, and wanted to build something that pushed people to work together. There's no in-game communication, so you really need to pay attention to what your teammates are doing.

If you want to see what the game is like, but players aren't there, you can load up four windows and it'll work fine as well.

Advice, comments and criticism are welcome.

I do / have done the London cycle superhighway at rush hour - it's pretty much the same deal (although i would call any electric bikes "powered" and question if they should be on the same path / as powerful).

The point is if there was a dedicated (about a metre wide, cut off from road traffic by a raised kerb) cycle lane not just through Londons busiest roads but ... well everywhere there is a car road.

Just say if you want a car there you should also have a bicycle.

We seem to think that the industrial revolution chnaged something - like globally there should be some kind of "profit".

I think it's just we as a species get to still be at a subsistence level, just a higher subsistence level.

Don't be this absolute, please.

So I love the taste of meat, but I generally don't think my personal enjoyment is sufficient reason to further harm both highly intelligent animals and the climate. It's a decision I have deemed egoistic with regards to myself (and myself only - I am not one for evangelism). I want to explain why my experience seems a bit different with "replacements".

It is very hard to change habits, so I have not stopped eating meat completely. However, I have successfully reduced my meat consumption by a significant amount, all thanks to some substitutes making it very easy to reduce some real meat while keeping my every-day habit foods. The quality and taste of the replacements range from excellent to complete utter shit. I exclusively focus on the currently good or excellent ones and adapt new items from now and then.

For example, the "Rügenwalder Mühle" company in Germany makes some excellent products [1] that are totally enough to satisfy me. Substitution works best with meats that are typically a highly processed mess filled with salt & spices. No, it doesn't fully taste the same as meat but, like I said, it tastes good enough and every gram less meat eaten is a microscopic positive change that still matters en masse.

Given the number of words in all human languages, chances are someone, somewhere will at some time take exception to your name choice no matter how carefully you chose.
I formerly worked at Uber. I’m surprised that Bolt blocks the web app from working. Uber also built a web app which is incredibly lightweight - here’s a summary on how it was built [1]. It’s a life saver especially if e.g. at an airport and you pay for data over roaming. Uber doesn’t exactly advertise m.uber.com, but there’s no blocking of it.

My suspect is that Bold wants you to use their app as they can eg send push notifications, and gather more metadata from users - some of which can be used for eg more signal on determining if a request might be fraudulent.

The best thing to happen is that it'll go to 0 and all this energy gets put into. Project with real benefit.
You say unverified, but I’m pretty sure there’s lots of verification for this. Obviously it will depend on the service or app, but it’s a well known trend.

At my previous job our app had much higher retention than our web product, despite the web product being much more mature, modern, and feature rich. We verified this across multiple marketing channels, and looked at long term user retention over years.
That’s better but still an extra step.

That's the thing though -- not only is it not an improvement, it's not even actually different than before. This pattern of a thin shim in the kernel is just veneer, to allow the vendor to claim they're now open source, and quit bugging them about it please.

I once put this exact argument to a network vendor's rep at a conference, after they'd introduced a really thin shim like this, with some fanfare. You know what his answer was, live on stage for all to hear?

"but it's open source"

If open sourcing proprietary code is the goal, as it has always been mine, then this sort of thing is very much a step backwards.
These are all fine tips, but I'm wondering how/why they are not mandatory in the US?

I had #8 happen to me. Broad daylight, no other cars around, just a distracted driver who wasn't signalling. I'd ridden road for 5 years, but haven't since (2018). No matter how hard you try, if its a problem with the driver the car will always win. Also if you're riding in an area that's not accustomed to bikes, your risk of drivers not paying attention or being actively malicious is much higher.

Now I exclusively mountain bike. The risk of injury is higher, but the average severity of the injuries is minor compared to road.
I just went as far a searching google and urbandictionary and I still have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
> we, the users, are compliant with such abuse of monopoly.

But Bolt is not a monopoly. There are many taxi services in Riga.

> I invite you to boycott any company that forces (or coerces) you to install an app...

I do not think I will boycott Bolt just because you hacked their product and somehow become outraged. Bolt rides are cheaper than the alternative and .. the app works. The alternative mainstream taxi app needs an ios upgrade, and the ios upgrade fails on my shitty old phone.

Edit: There is no uber in riga looks like. Nice work, but running a company that generates cash at scale is hard. So i am sympathetic to the app developer.
Maybe reporters just shouldn't be reporting on every little paper but rather universities should have a media department with scientists that handles press releases so they don't suck ass
I just went through the process of self-hosting Google Fonts. The process is actually surprisingly tricky.

Google Fonts lets you download fonts for desktop use, in the form of .ttf or .otf rather than the .woff[2] with one file per Latin/Greek/Vietnamese/etc. script served by Google Fonts itself. If you want the same font-embedding CSS as Google Fonts itself, you can use https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/fonts (a font browser, outdated, doesn't support font-display: swap), or https://nextgenthemes.com/google-webfont-downloader/ (a converter from Google Fonts CSS URLs to downloadable font packs, supports font-display: swap, it works well but I chose to not host the large CSS files with embedded fonts in base64 format).

As a technical curiosity, the second site can suffer a race condition resulting in partial or broken file downloads (I never tested what happens), if two people request the same font bundle at the same time, and they overwrite each other: https://github.com/nextgenthemes/open-webfonts#bug-reports-a...

I wish browsers would give users an option to set the default font-display policy to swap.
Presumably marketing budget.

Bunny is an extremely affordable CDN. The business they'd get from medium to large sites that already trust them enough to serve fonts over them should easily make up for it.
Wow, I somehow also had the misconception that USB A was back. I wonder how this shared delusion spread.

Quite true.

For novice riders are simply tell them to ride where they would put they right wheel when driving a car. And at least a meter away from the curb/parked cars.

> on a tour I would be afraid of not being able to pack enough things

You can always start small with a weekend trip and see which of the items you packed you actually needed, and you'll find out which items you forgot to pack. If you take good note of these, you'll be a proficient and efficient packer very soon, and you'll go on trips that last for days or weeks with the exact amount of stuff you need. And at least in Europe, the next supermarket is never so far away that you can' t reach it on the next day in case you did forget something essential.
