As a relatively young person, we will be fine--changed subjectively, sure. In the vein of Heidegger: Human + TikTok = TikTokHuman. As we learned from Prohibition, artificially restricting consumer freedom never works. The market does not and should not coddle those who make choices against their interests. Addicts can change, however difficult it may be, if they so choose. On the other hand, if this line of reasoning is incorrect, then we have a serious issue with some very fundamental principles of our extant community.

I realise I’m just replying to a troll’s cherry picked list at this point, but come on you’re not even trying.

All of those chips and fabs all rely on ASML? Those manufacturers you list literally couldn’t make the chips they make without an EU company being the backbone of their work.

You can’t think of global scale European applications. SAP, the worlds third largest software company by revenue? Representative of the EU’s tech sector, probably not, but it goes to show your either ignorant of the wider industry in the EU or being deceiving.

> Open banking and SEPA. Are these technologies? I think they were just regulations.

Turns out regulations can be a good thing? Our banking infrastructure ‘just works’, instantly, EU wide, with low fees and technology first.

> Wake up.

People get real holiday, great purchasing power (sure, not as high as a US tech worker, but pretty darn good), healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt them, proper mental health treatment so walking down a street isn’t a gamble, great affordable education, and the pleasure of not having a mass shooting multiple times a week. But yeah, the US has some big companies. Good for you bud.
The goods that are sold are available to be sold based-off what people have chosen to buy or what is seen as a solution to a problem.

Example: Manual transmissions available for sale in the United States vs Europe. Europe has many more available to be sold new than the United States at maybe 3% and dwindling.

I see the only reason that smart-TVs are some prominent now is that the market for those eclipsed the market for dumb-TVs. While there are individuals that would like a dumb-TV, I've seen them post on HN, outliers don't make a sustainable market for revenue.

If individuals don't purchase the subscription, it won't be a revenue stream and then decision-making individuals should make decisions to change it.

The housing market is another conversation altogether.
Storage units are fine if:

1. It's auxiliary storage for e.g. outdoor gear you use that you can't fit in your apartment

2. It's essentially bridge storage for stuff that will be moved somewhere new (e.g. a second apartment/home) on a fairly fixed timeframe

On the other hand, it just going to be a headache for you or someone else if it's just stuff you don't have room for and don't have any real plans to have room for it. Both my brother and a friend have gone through this recently with relatives where cleaning out storage lockers was a huge PITA.

It's neither a minimum or a maximum, it's the rate. X amount of Euros for Y amount of kilometers (as calculated by the meter while actually driving, which leads to taxi drivers often chosing the 'scenic route'). Maybe extra fees for night drives, or for driving to the airport, or for coming to the pickup place at all (which makes taxis prohibitively expensive in nonurban settings).

The "here's how to use the product you paid for" emails that trickle out over a few weeks or a month is vastly different than "throw you into every single marketing email bucket we have" but companies seem to lean toward the latter.
All of my SEPA transfers after 2017 took days and none of them involved banks in (south-)eastern Europe. But it's good to hear that things are improving.
Deriving happiness from objects and not people is an artificial, superficial, and maladapted way of life. "Status" is a sad remnant of our simple-minded ancestors.

> but the constant use of clickbait headlines will over time destroy overall traffic to your site

I'd add a bit of nuance here. They are very good at driving traffic, but very bad at building an audience. You do this long enough and your news site is now optimized for attracting hot-take appreciators who engage with the news like a tabloid. This drives away everyone who doesn't want to be reading a tabloid and makes you more dependent on keeping up with traffic-gaming strategies to continuously drive traffic. You've basically shifted your business from being a place that produces journalism to being a place that figures out ways to game social media trends and SEO.

It looks like it "cheats" sometimes.

It reuses pictures by zooming and moving the entire picture around until the point position and cursor position match.
Kind of true but also not as true as it was pre-COVID. Used car prices skyrocketed during COVID to the point that people are selling their 2-3 year old cars for more than current new MSRP. And a 10 year old Corolla is often more than $10k. Prices are just now starting to come back down, but probably not to pre-COVID prices.
My guess is that existing scripting languages don't mesh well with all the parallelized staged simulation, entity content systems, and lack of tracing GC that game engines like Unreal tend to have.

I don't know much about Verse but looking at the preview I already see a type called a type called `<latent>` (async Promise?) and a `race` keyword (seems like a built-in `await Promise.all`?). I bet building these directly into the language fixes much impedance mismatch.
On my browsers (both Vivaldi and Safari, on MacOS), your string "türki̇ye" is rendered with two dots over the i (stacked vertically). I don't know if this is what you intended, but it doesn't seem to me as the correct lowercase form. But I'll defer to someone more versed in the local customs.
IIRC this wasn't made by an algorithm, the pointing locations were mapped by hand and the list of images is fixed.

So I think in this case it is because of personal bias of the author (regardless of how unintended it might be)
I really love this project but that is a super on point observation. I should have noticed that. And I think the answer to your question is probably obviously yes. Like I know what I'm talking about...

Also very curious on the source for these images. They seem like scraped Facebook photos from a very specific time range. Maybe early 2000s?

Anyway whatever this is its art and I love it and it should be at the MoMA.
I watched the video mentioned in another comment just to figure out exactly that question. From my understanding Voronoi diagrams are not used to find finger position, it is most likely preset, probably by human.
Not stable release yet, so each release might bring a lot of breaking changes, when they release 1.0 the API at least will be more stable.
Microsoft had Silverlight, it's end of life now... that pretty much tells the story.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you have an operable AM or AM/FM radio and batteries to use it? This idea of "watch the media" is going to be really hard if you're going to rely on wireless carriers. If you have a TV, does it have an OTA antenna?
I thought about this almost every I time I saw the ad. Doing a quick search there are about 6,185 Dominos restaurants in the US. Which works out to about $16 per restaurant.

I always felt it was just a marketing stunt and disingenuous of them.
> Many people manage to pay of their student loans and don't have to live in debt if they don't want to.

yikes... this strikes me as quite similar to this line of reasoning: "poor people are poor because they just don't want to work"
Biologically, there is a huge difference between a man and a post-menopausal woman. At best, you could say that hormonally they are more similar, though even that is not entirely true. But hormones have many long term effects that menopause doesn't and can't erase (for example, post-menopausal women's gonads do not typically descend from their abdomens into a pouch, as they tend to do in males under the effects of testosterone; post-menopausal women also have significantly higher rates of uterine cancers than men do).

This is like the least problematic thing Uber has done tho? The "law enforcement" they were fucking with was basically being thugs for enforcing a monopolist power. Not very pro-consumer for the EU to try to go back to shitty overpriced taxi monopolies.
> He's saying that BMW has already sold the car at a profit

How do you know how BMW structures profit and costs? I would guess their profit is based on some people choosing to enable the future.

> If Apple offered you a $1000 iPhone with a camera app installed, and then offered you the same iPhone for $800 but which will not let any camera apps be installed unless you pay them $18/month, does that seem fine to you?

Yeah - seems ok to me. I can pick what I want. Pay more up-front, or pay the same after purchasing, or pay a subscription, or don't pay at all. More choices for the consumer.

What's the issue?

Just the mental hurdle of having the option to paying to enable a feature where the hardware was already shipped? What's the underlying actual issue with that? I don't see one?
Hopefully. I hope it gets moved off youtube.
Yeah those people are the worst. This project rules.
Fair, so let me clarify: the pronunciation has always been 'turkey-ay', and most other cultures/languages pronounce it correctly (by which I mean in-line with how native Turks pronounce it). English is an outlier.

I wish we were we just transition to a business-to-business model requiring all drivers to file an LLC.

Treatment of drivers would be the honest of the LLC owner.

Drivers would receive the tax benefits of operating a business.

It seemed like such a no-brainer that I struggle to understand why it hasn't been done.

Maybe it would even bring to light some of the State challenges to setting up an LLC
I agree. It is super fun. Kudos!
Uh? No, I think the point is that labels "Made in Turkey" ran the risk of being lazily translated to "Fabriqué en Dinde" in French by a misconfigured automatic translation software and you no longer have this problem if you use words spelt differently for the bird and the country. Nothing to do with "d'Inde".
>You're wrong because..... ugh! you just are, okay?!
Also, GWT makes interacting with JavaScript libraries VERY painful. You have to go through a JNI-like FFI to do it.

My take away from my time working in GWT is that the main thing it was trying to do is fundamentally misguided. It tried to make Web development more like desktop UI development by erasing the client/server boundary. But that’s a natural and important boundary that needs to be clearly visible. And, in its effort to do so, the project ended up also creating a new artificial boundary that isn’t helpful and shouldn’t exist.

The problem isn’t writing client code in Java, BTW. There are plenty of projects like Elm that use the same language for both client and server code, and work well. The problem is trying to hide the Web behind a Swing-like API.

I made a QR Code for my contact info in a VCard and set it as the home screen of my phone -- when I go to conventions it makes it really easy to connect with people.

There's a lot of cool stuff you can do with QR Codes now. Most of this stuff is 5-10 years old even, but the pandemic really helped educated people to look for QR Codes. Yay, Covid! =P
Well, if you are second-guessing yourself, I'd actually argue that obviously you may have some reservations about it.

Let me ask you this: why did you spend the money? Is it stuff that will genuinely make your life and the lives of those around you better? Or is it stuff that you are buying to fill a void in your life caused by a lack of relationships or longing that something has yet to fill.

If it's the former, then maybe you ought to consider what actually does or doesn't make your life better. If it's the latter, then perhaps you ought to seek out those things rather than trying to buy yourself into "happiness".
Do they have to pay extra for the turn signals too?
I like the page, it looks very clean.

I would remove the "How much does relevant information cost?" header from the pricing page, it takes up a lot of space and attention and doesn't really trigger any emotion. Maybe just keep "Stay up-to-date and ahead of the competition for the price of one coffee cup a month".

Or maybe, even simpler like: https://i.snipboard.io/NiuFcZ.jpg

I noticed you are using Plausible for analytics (which is also blocked by Brave by default: Cross-site trackers blocked - plausible.in-two.com/js) and it only gives you basic stats, if you want to improve your page (which is already great tbh) you could try A/B tests or watching session recordings; I made a (paid) self-hosted tool for that if you want to try it: uxwizz.com

> But, here we're talking about people buying a coin and the _seller_ saying the coin is worth 100x and so skipping the step of using fractional reserve to 'create' the funds (the loan amount) to exchange for crypto and just going straight to a deceit.

This is a meaningless word salad.

You have an account with an exchange. Taking a position with leverage 100x just means that every time the instrument moves $1 up, your account goes $100 up, and when it moves $1 down, your account goes $100 down.
volvo does not require siriusxm (which is satellite radio) for auto-start. it requires Volvo On Call subscription (you get one for free for first 3 years). And it's kinda reasonable, because Volvo On Call works via LTE and somebody needs to pay for it
I agree, it's a lot of extra effort.

Can you elaborate a bit on how even the yard sales weren't worth the bother? I imagine that I'd basically sell everything for the first person who wants it, for whatever price.
Regulating crypto would only make the problem worse by adding legitimacy and stability where very little currently exists.

I have said all along that the easiest way to kill crypto is simply to do nothing. Just watch it collapse under the weight of it's own corruption, inefficiency and incompetence.
I personally believe the more layers that get added ABOVE the highest elected office (in terms of who sets the rules to follow) that are unelected, the less democratic it is.

Usually appointees and such have LESS power than the elected positions. (Sometimes not, with good reasons, eg. supreme court in the US)

Obviously, there are good reasons to have unelected officials for some things. I believe the EU shouldn't be one of them.
Agreed, this was the same pitch at my old job. "We can all keep writing Java and have a consistent front end". Which was true to some extent but we had very few people who were proficient with CSS/HTML so when we had to build out new components it always went to them or was time consuming for other people. They use React/Redux now and have a few dedicated front end teams.
Did Domino's spend an extra 50 million to brag about a 100k donation, or did Domino's have a fairly normal ad-spend year, of which 50 million focused on the donation?
There are other skin tones but you're right it's mostly white people. However it's worth baring in mind that this is an old site. Wayback machine has it at 2012. I'm sure I've read an explanation that said each image was manually curated and then the angle of the pointing manually plotted. So I wouldn't say there's any algorithm bias beyond whatever images the author had access to at that point (no pun intended) in time.
There is nothing wrong with being a tech enthusiast. It can even be refreshing especially if you are feeling burned out. Better to be an enthusiast than to get old and stop caring.

Yes, the person I was responding to already said wash trading. You're just repeating what he said, you've added nothing to the conversation.

My point was that wash trading isn't the only explanation.
There's the environmental aspect of it, which isn't great (the manufacturing of each computer emits a lot of CO2, and uses some rare metals that are increasingly hard to find, amongst other issues, I'm sure), especially if you replace tech super regularly, but if it's also part of your trade, then it kind of makes sense to have good tools. Those people probably don't berate dentists for getting new tools in their office, or carpenters for getting a new table saw.

That being said, there's a point where it tends to become diminishing returns. You don't need a super computer to code CRUD sites, especially nowadays (I say as I'm browsing the internet from my sorta fancy gaming desktop, but I do play games on it as well).
Implementing it the way it used to be, with a proprietary radio remote, does not require any communications infrastructure support.

At some point I might get the point up to a point at least, IDK what point I'm trying to make but I'd like to point out the point.
I wonder what the views will be for this historic event vs say an NBA basketball game or a generic reality tv show?
I think a more genuine headline would be "Domino's spent $50.4 million (and counting) on TV ads [that] brag about [their franchisees] giving local businesses a total of $100,000"

Clearly they're going to spend money on advertising anyway. And it's not unreasonable for those advertisements to include things they are proud of, such as when their franchisees support local businesses. They clearly say "Domino's franchisees" in the ad.
It's worth thinking very carefully about your consumption habits re: how they produce waste. The real costs of our devices are often hidden in pretty horrifying externalities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_waste

That said, even always upgrading to The Latest Thing can be done responsibly as long as you're making sure those old devices go to people who can get use out of them. Questionably useful gizmos are less great – I wanted a smart watch, got one, and regret it.

I had a PM who pushed us to A/B test _everything_. We hired a new graphic designer who suggested that we change our product links from ALL CAPS to Title Case (a very popular idea on the team, and his first real suggestion after a few weeks with us), and she insisted that we A/B test it first. It felt like an insult to him, and a dumb test since title case looked way better.

The three key outcomes I observed from the relentless A/B testing were UI antipatterns, team burnout, and a well-attended conference talk about "how we ran 105 A/B tests in a year, and what we learned".

GWT was great for boring tech stories back in the day. It was briefly alluded to in one of the comment I think but, at least to me, GWT's killer feature was porting big legacy battle-tested core GUI SDKs to HTML5 compliant browsers.

e.g., circa 2010, we were porting 50k+ LOC mapping/GIS libraries to the browser and it worked way better than we thought it would. This was a unit tested codebases that were being used for at least 5 years on the desktop. We were also able to get touch gestures working decently on it.

To second another comment, these days WASM would make more sense, but back in the day customers would be taken aback when were able to provide niche mapping features they were used to seeing on the desktop pop up on the browser.
Notably, the supply of Bitcoin was supposedly calibrated such that dollar-parity would be relatively quickly achieved, and there were indeed headlines made, despite it being a totally arbitrary milestone.
