People seem to have a strong sense of identity when it comes to playing games. I can see how people who signed up to watch videos might have no interest in associated games.

My mother-in-law, for instance, would never play a game on an XBox but she plays video slots all the time.

Compared to ICE cars. A normal gas-powered car has a median 412 mile range.

The problem is more that the power grids were built under some assumption of average use per household. In germany, numbers of about 2kw/hour on average have been mentioned lately (two hair dryers). Adding significant sustained load to that upsets that calculation, and electric cars as well as switching to primarily electric heating (heat pumps) will require substantial investment into that infrastructure.
For bonus points, that term already exists; the original article we're commenting on says that they're calling it "ethical source".
A lot of ICE cars have much crappier range than a hybrid like a Prius. I know my old econobox only goes about 300-350 miles on a tank, which is comparable to a Tesla. Not everyone has 55 mpg cars that sip gas.

The refueling problem is big though. Maybe if they can cut it to 15 mins for a 15-90% charge it'll be good enough.
Waste ink pads are a necessary evil for inkjet printers. Cheap home printers don't get use replaceable ink pads for cost reasons. The Epson Workforce line that uses high capacity ink pouches does (they're called "maintenance boxes"). I don't get the outrage in the article, as filling the ink pad even in consumer printers takes tens of thousands of pages, even hundreds of thousands for sprinter used multiple times a day that doesn't need to flush ink.

Similar to about 15 other states.

You can buy Everclear which is 190 proof. There is a limit but I think it has more to do with physics and chemistry than puritanism. If you want something they don't stock you can have them order it for you.

One Finance (via an FDIC-insured partner bank) offers a physical debit card, a "virtual" card behind that, and the option to create "pockets" that you fill with money, and you can generate additional "virtual cards" or account numbers for each pocket to enable transactions directly from the pockets.

Not a book but a movie: Apocalypse Now.

I have read a review and got this movie immediately. I use to enjoy literally every second of it, this weekend I have opened it firstly and it took me 6 or 7 hours to finish this 3-hour movie with all stops and rewatches but with no looking at additional materials yet. Many different translations to my language were extremely handy for my enjoying, because the original English audio is too hard for my English level and different translators/voicers did a great job translating these deep repliques each team in their own way. I consider this movie as the best movie I have ever watched, previous first was Knocking on Heaven's Door for 10 years long (I do not watch more than a few movies per year and never watch new movies without reading a review beforehand). Consider watch it in highest possible quality with 7.1 sound.

This is precisely the type of comment I was referring too, where the average HN reader has ingrained negative views of unionization, almost always stemming from weird online propaganda that is very difficult to pin to a source (I recall reddit having a lot of anti-collective sentiment). It almost doesn't matter if unions are legal/illegal once the average worker has been poison pilled with a negative perception of them though, because they are implicitly based on worker's trust

Most states also have a "state unemployment fund" or similar that all employers are required to pay into by law, usually run by a totally different organization than the income tax people ("department of business development" or such).

State income tax is not the only burden employers are expected to shoulder.
Copy-pasting my comment from another sub-thread:

As Joe Weisenthal (co-host of Odd Lots podcast) wrote last year, Krugman wasn't was wrong as most people seem to think:

> So the first part of Krugman’s prediction was obviously, completely, unequivocally wrong. It turns out that people have a lot to say to each other. More than we ever thought. A total zero on that one. Points to the dunkers.

> The more interesting half of the quote though — and the one that the critics mostly remember — is the second part about the impact on the economy being no greater than the fax machine. This one is completely defensible.

> As Skanda Amarnath, head of research at Employ America, wrote to me, what people see as a major economic impact is really the social impact. From a true data impact, Krugman wasn’t wrong. “Productivity growth has been substantially weaker during the age of the internet,” Amarnath wrote. “The same deceleration is visible in terms of both nominal and real investment in software and even the broadest definition of hardware (information processing equipment). There has been some shifting and cannibalization of activity as a result of retail moving to e-commerce channels, and new media dominating advertising services at the expense of old media, but if we’re talking about macro impact beyond substitution, the burden of proof is with those eager to mock Krugman on this point.”

As Krugman himself stated in 2018:

It's been over twenty years since Krugman wrote that article: people need to get over it. It was a throw away article for a now-defunct B-list publication.

People seem to like to dunk on Krugman for this 1998 pop-econ article, but don't bother looking at his academic work. For example this was also published in 1998:

And here's something else that he published in 1998:

If you plan on driving 1000 miles in a day (typical for family road trips) your effective daily range will be much less because of charging times. 38 minutes fast charging permanently damages the battery.

If you go anywhere in Africa you're screwed too. It's all about optimizing for the appropriate use case. ICE cars are the most versatile, period. I can get gasoline for my car delivered to remote African villages in Coca Cola bottles cheaply.

Show HN: Rewind 4, a Chrome extension for bookmark hoarders
I don't think the problem with IE was necessarily consolidation as much as letting Microsoft be the only ones with the ability to modify or extend the engine. In my mind there would be nothing wrong with Mozilla joining Microsoft in basing their browser on Blink+V8. In fact it might even be a better way to ensure Google can't steer Chrome the same way Microsoft did since no matter how great they make it the competition will always be dragged along with it, there to become the better drop in option should Google decide to stop leading the push.
AI has been over promising and under delivering for 50 years.

There's a reason why the general models aren't being released. The second you look under the hood and start poking the unhappy paths you see that it doesn't understand anything and you're talking to something dumber than a hamster.
That is not what the lightning network is though - it is trustless, just like the baselayer.
And also 60 miles is perfectly enough for many folks.

If that's not enough, you can get a 240V connection for double the charging power.
Rewind is a Chrome extension that groups bookmarks by creation date. So on July 4, you will only see bookmarks created on a 4th of July (2022, 2021 and so on). It's very useful when you have thousands of bookmarks you saved over the years to read them later (and never do).

It also displays thumbnails, has a fast search feature, and a lot of quick actions for curating your bookmarks, like fetching up-to-date titles and urls (canonical urls, technically), showing which links don't return 200, finding comments on Twitter about your bookmarks, searching the title on Google (which is great for finding mirrors), etc.

I created Rewind in 2015, it has 920 users at the time of writing, it's totally free, it's just a side project I'm really proud of.

I re-wrote it from scratch to use Mantine for the UI and XState as a state library and I'm very happy with this stack. It's my first time using either.

This whole fiasco has me convinced that the medical industry suffers from the same hubris, profiteering, and strange collective delusion and ignorance that caused the 2008 financial crisis.

I'm old enough to remember the financial crisis, when it was always assumed that things couldn't be as bad as they were because there's no way thousands of high paid bankers could all be so reckless and have it wrong at once. After all, these are the smartest people in the world, right? Surely they saw this coming. Surely they're not that foolish...

Well, it turns out they didn't see it coming and they were that foolish. It turns out they were all consumed by arrogance and, collectively, were far more incompetent than anyone was willing to give them credit for.
No, but when have crippling bugs ever stopped software businesses from shipping it anyway?
I think nearly every credit card will be able to support "accepted as a credit card worldwide".

So, I think you can just pick whatever card doesn't have an annual fee, maybe choose one with rewards you'd use if you care.
Without these laws, the wealthy don't pay taxes, criminal organizations grow without bound, and foreign governments easily avoid sanctions. As money movement became easier, so governments couldn't stop that movement by issuing letters of marque, these laws became essential.

Ask HN: How do you deal with code frustration?
Not gonna go into a lot of details of what I've been tasked with (someone I work with might recognize the task :). Suffice it to say that a lot of technical debt was built up over the last couple of years during a "move fast" phase and I've been called in and tasked with cleaning it all up and simplifying things that had become overly complicated (a bit of an understatement) because they keep tacking more code onto the edifice in an attempt to keep it standing instead of addressing underlying problems. I'm finding it exceedingly frustrating and after a couple of months I'm wondering if the task is even possible (primarily because the target keeps moving as more code gets added). There are multiple languages (at least 4) involved and lots of little files that get passed between processes running in different langauges that get parsed... ok, not gonna say anymore about that...

So programmers of HN, how do you keep from getting overly frustrated by a big ball tangled code? At what point is it best to just throw in the towel and suggest that perhaps they need to start over?
Did you use some software/service for load-testing the alternatives?
In the 'conditions for theorems' section, I wonder whether it would be easier (and just as effective) to put the whole theorem (including conditions) in at once, and then use cloze deletion to get tested on different parts.
Of course I've heard of the OSI. I don't understand why I'm particularly bound to their definition of open source, given that both the phrase and the concept predate the OSI, likely by decades.
It may be interesting source code to read.

Or is that also an illegal/illegitimate use now?
Tragic really how smart people know perfectly well that you shouldn’t exercise if you don’t want to accidentally turn into a grotesque muscle freak, but rarely use the same caution in brain exercise.
> it means you don't have to give everyone you buy things from direct access to your bank account, as a debit card does

I disagree that this means "giving someone else access to all your money". First off, you're authorizing a single transaction, and second, your bank is still the one mediating the transaction - if you experience fraud, what's actually happening is that your bank is the one who got defrauded by someone pretending to be you (by stealing your card/PIN/etc) and fraudulently convinced the bank to give them your money.

I disagree that a debit card doesn't involve financial intermediation. The bank is still the intermediary and holds the money, just that the hold duration is seconds instead of a month (well technically settlement or presentment happens a few days after authorization, but that's all transparent to the cardholder). There's no technical difference, the difference is purely regulatory and there's no reason the regulations can't be amended to give debit card holders the same protections as credit card holders.

> Ask anyone who has had their debit card info stolen and had funds fraudulently taken direct from their bank account.

I don't know about you but all instances of fraud I had on my debit cards have been resolved painlessly. Most fraud gets resolved by card network disputes which don't care about the card type. The only time credit cards get preferential treatment is when card network disputes fail and the law forces lenders (but not debit card issuers) to eat the fraudulent transaction anyway, but those instances are relatively rare.
I love these sorts of little projects. I don't know else who is likely to use something like this other than a really serious podcaster or vlogger, but clearly the writer has a need for it. It's also a great reminder of the versatility of the cheap microcontrollers we are able to use these days. It's pretty straightforward to use one to make just about any kind of input device you might want, and with wireless microcontrollers like the ESP32, you can even give it wifi! I use a variety of ESPs around the house with ESPhome for home assistant, doing all sorts of things. It's pretty easy to get into (home use level, not production electronics) embedded just by reading some datasheets and writing a little code these days.
>You are perfectly free to exit society and transact only outside it.

Except I'm not because it applies to 'US Persons' which for US citizens applies to them anywhere they are on earth or even on another planet. Also to not be a US citizen requires paying what is for many people a prohibitive exit tax of thousands of dollars to renounce. That is, you can exit society and still run afoul of the law.
Anything except the metaverse
Sounds like the federal government except you get a smile and a choice, it's cheaper, and it doesn't start so many wars. Probably less wasteful too.
I'm wagering that reuse will be a bigger thing than recycling.

A 75kW EV battery that's unfit for vehicle use will still have 40-50kW of usable capacity in it. That's enough to power a house for days.

Repackage it to a fancy case, sell it to a home owner with some solar panels -> €€€
Charging is one part of the equation. You are assuming that charging is something that all cars need frequently, it doesn't have to be like that.

Concepts like Lightyear One prove that we can create cars that pass our crash requirements, have the space requirements, but yet are light enough and aerodynamic enough to have minimal power consumption.

The catch is people need to start to come to terms with the fact that personal transport has to ultimately be utilitarian. Yes it might mean you won't go 0-60 in 7 secs, yes it might mean that you will have to give up an oversized 3 tonne vehicle to 'feel safe'. Also cars shouldn't be a status symbol for anything, auto manufactures have exploited this to no end with dire environmental impacts.

Ideally what governments need to promote and invest in is public transit, especially inside densely urban areas. A car as a personal means of transport should only be something you feel you need when travelling to more 'remote' areas where public transit is non-existing or too sparse.

I am curious what is your tech setup? Running on the dedicated server or cloud, which programming languages and libraries are you using?
My favorite way for a core loop to become richer over time is when the loop has a very high skill ceiling the player can move through in a semi-controlled way. For multiplayer games, this means good matchmaking, but for other games this is layered in via optional challenges/achievments/bonus goals etc.

The stated goal of the game (aka reaching the ending) may or may not be along this path.
No, because not many (perhaps none at all) people have objective measures of morality. Is waterboarding torture? You say yes, I say yes, but if it's 2003 and the Iraq War is in full swing, do you think enough people are going to agree with us to mount an effective lawsuit? Maybe you can instead choose to explicitly enumerate all things you consider "evil" in the license, but that license is going to be prohibitively long.
So… you want guaranteed settlement but at the same time the ability to reverse a transaction? How do you propose that would work?
