I've been using this magnetic USB-C adapter on my laptop to reduce the wear and tear on the port: https://a.co/d/4JCadfi.

I've been using it since March with no complaints. It'd be great if manufacturers could standardize on something like this so that the port could be flush.

I accept that "organic" labels are gimmicky, but the alternative is to eat food that is not certified organic, and that hasn't been enjoyable for me. Organic natural food may or may not look better, taste better, and have better nutrition, but in hockey terms, "You miss 100% of the shots you never take."

(An organic certification is not my sole criterion for food selection, either; I factor in plenty of others.)
I paid $3.5k for a 1BR in the village in 2019, which was a very good deal at the time. Rents have increased dramatically since then. Maybe time to update your price model?

How much did it decrease your hsCRP test levels? And how long did you take it before you saw a change in labwork?
If this is true then we’re just breathing it in all the time because it’s in the air. Sounds like that should be a bigger headline.

There has been planned obsolescence in human economic activity whenever it could be made advantageous to do so.

You also discount the increasing capability of electronics, which in many cases involve including more or more complex circuitry, which reduces the lifespan. You can certainly design for reliability, but this generally increases the cost, and consumers almost always opt for the cheaper product.

The places to look for deliberate design for failure to drive profits are markets in which there is an effective monopoly or cartel and the manufacturers no longer have competition (like the Phoebus cartel).
I wouldn’t treat my enemies that bad. And we spend a lot of time judging other countries and how they treat prisoners. What prisoners need is a prisoners union but prisons have built protections into preventing communications between jails. If all prisoners went on strike at the same time many things that rely on slave labour would come to a quick stop and the slave labour money machine would come to a crashing stop.
I wouldn't mind having a digital clone, if only as a backup.
I've actually had the opposite experience. My ECC workstation laptop is the only device I've ever had consistent issues with crashes due to memory issues.

Interestingly, this never happened when I was running Linux and abusing the RAM with photogrammetry workloads. It would only happen with windows when I wasn't using anything beyond routine levels of RAM.
$80USD?

GaN 90/100W chargers from manufacturers like Anker and Monoprice can regularly be had for half of that. Right now there are a lot of 90W ones from unknown-to-me manufacturers for ~$32 on Amazon.

I'm not trying to correct you here; I'm just wondering if there's something I'm missing.
Some years ago I had a "debate" about this on HN. And if you know anything about BOM cost and hardware margins, the cost saving of crappy PSU and decent PSU is quite attractive. To the point manufacturer knew the probability of the PSU failing within certain time frame, now more commonly known as planned obsolescence.

While I am not exactly an USB-C supporter. One of the side benefits is that they are much better quality and fixes this PSU issues.
The only machine I've had consistent crashes with due to memory issues IS my ECC memory workstation. Everything else has NEVER crashed due to a memory issue.

Keep in mind that a largish municipal library is on the order of 250-500k items.

The Library of Congress includes ~40 million catalogued books, of which ~360k circulate annually.

Again, the question is what Amazon offers.
This is also where the term 'HillBilly' originates. Hills because they live in the hills, but 'Billy' because they followed William of Orange ("Bill"), the protestant king of England.
The panels easily pay for themselves over 30 years, so - yes.

Also likely they improve the maintenance of whatever is under them, just from weather protection, even concrete maintenance.
I suspect the maintainers will just ignore these kinds of requests, rather than "get over" them. If you and your company want help, you'll need to pay for it. That's the reality. If your company won't pay for it, then you'll have to "get over" your app not working.
> When Congress approves an increase of the debt, I presume it's actually allowing the issuing of more treasury bonds, is that correct?

Congress approves budgets, and when the budget has a deficit it implicitly requires the issuance of debt to cover its expenses. There technically exists a “debt ceiling” by law that they created at some point in the past (I’m not familiar with the exact history) but it’s not there as a requirement and has always been raised when the debt has hit the pre existing limit.

> Does the FED have any hard/legal limit to its "printing"? Can it just print and buy stuff like mortgage-backed securities out of the blue? Or does it always require Congress approval, for example, as the executive branch needs to issue debt?

So, to start, the executive doesn’t require congressional approval to issue debt exactly, it’s more so that it’s acting on congresses allocated budget.

The fed doesn’t have any limit in place as of not in money printing, but it is supposed to follow its mandates set by congress: maintaining low unemployment and price stability. It has been granted it’s power by congress, so congress does have the power to change this at any time, but it is generally recognized that “central bank independence” is a good thing, because it’s too tempting for politicians to print their way out of budgetary deficits.
Don’t forget the docs are actual documentation. Like it is an actual coherent operating system with actual documentation. No “refer to info docs” here. Actual docs. Real ones.
But why does the world always go along with it? In an alternate universe, the community just said "yeah, no thanks, I'll keep using Gnome 2", which they continued maintaining under the name Elf or whatever.
Notch does live updates when he codes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi7WnVTLzHw is one example, but there was a more famous one where he was live-coding during Ludum Dare in 2011.
Yes the lightbulb conspiracy and planned obsolescence. Here’s why that’s no longer a threat; it’s bad business. It’s a PR nightmare, and totally unnecessary. For instance my last (17 inch) MBP lasted a full decade including the battery without any service required. In fact it became a problem for me in that I was waiting for it to break so I could go by a new one. Apple learned that having products with planned obsolescence was bad for business and just stopped doing it. Other manufactures are still learning that, sure. But Apple simply ends updates to macOS for certain models and the user can decide if they want to keep running what they have, or update. Because what you’re really purchasing is software and updates, not the hardware. The hardware is just the packaging it is delivered in.

So what about those companies that still include planned obsolescence? You need to vote with your money. Simply don’t buy their product. If you do, if you’re fooled twice, that’s on you.
Show HN: Toon Lens – transform face images into cartoon style
The design always included replication of the content. When information is originally published, you can request that "n" copies are sent to other back-end hosts that are advertising they have available storage. I believe we intended n to be at least 3. In addition, when someone requests content that is not already available locally and especially when they transclude the content, the back-end they are using is encouraged to make a local copy. So that answers "what if the linked host dies".

All content is already copyrighted by the author(s), and in order to publish it on the Xanadu network they have to agree to publish it under transcopyright which grants prior permission to transclude it. That does not preclude also offering the same content elsewhere under different license terms, but revoking the original license agreement would require the content be removed from the Xanadu network. IANAL but I suspect people might have some rights to rely on the original license unless properly notified that the rightsholder had revoked it.

All Xanadu content is append-only versioned, so if someone gets hacked and content is changed, nobody is obligated to transclude from the altered version. They can continue to transclude earlier versions.
Well good. Because being a gatekeeper, no matter how nice it seems ideally, is a huge PITA in reality. Serves them right!

Assuming you mean West Village, $3.5k is still feasible[1]. So is East Village[2].

I'd say that both of those areas are a little overheated right now, and were in 2019 as well. And rents definitely have gone up; I think I saw around $2.5k as the norm in 2018 for the East Village, when I considered renting there.

He doesn't have a great rep for some reason. His biggest hits - The Sims, SimCity, and Spore are all quite hated, but those games have a large following of players and creators who don't do any other games.

So in a sense, there's someone out there who loves Spore but won't buy The Sims, because they don't need any other games.
Some of the points in the article make sense at first blush, and may even be correct, but I lose hope when it starts out with a complete fabrication :

“Undeveloped land is a rapidly dwindling resource”

Note - roughly 6% of the US is developed space, less than 3% of that land is urban. [1]

The author then compounds the mistrust by stating that by 2050, we might need up to 0.5% of land dedicated to generating solar power.

ZERO POINT FIVE percent. And I’m supposed to think that’s a problem? 10 million acres out of the nearly 2 billion we have in this country? Yeah - that doesn’t concern me.

It’s a shame too, as I like solar canopied parking lots and think they make sense in some cases - making such weak justifications at the top of the article though, makes me think I may be wrong about it.

Note that prices could always be zero - the reason to include micropayments was to try and get access to the vast majority of existing culture that is currently only available for a fee. Ted wanted to bring in existing rightsholders rather than fight them. Unfortunately as it turned out that was never going to work. Just look at how hard the film industry fought home video, among many other examples of established industries fighting disruptors!

You’ll notice nearly all of the west village ones are studios. My old apartment was like 600 sq ft and laid out really well with a fully separate bedroom, living room, and large kitchen. Nothing is those listings comes close. Just checked on street east and rent is now 4500-4800.

The "inflation" bill that further supports the fossil fuel industry about to be passed will certainly make it more appealing in the U.S. at the expense on developing countries that get more sun. Solar is great, but subsidizing installs in Prudhoe Bay don't make a lot of sense atm.
> one would think it would be cheaper to build on already-developed lots, since no earth-moving and other infrastructure work is required

Nope - trenching through a concrete or blacktop parking lot is much more work than running conduit on undeveloped land. Also, you’ve got to shut down your parking lot for a few weeks to do the work.

It makes sense to do when building a new parking lot, in fact I see that kinda frequently these days, but retrofitting one seems like a lot of work

What's the reasonable alternative? For most people who currently need a vehicle, that vehicle will need tires.

France is not the lowest, it's beaten by a host of other countries:

Nope, I'm a long-term renter who is kicking himself for not buying something a year and a half ago before prices started to shoot up or last summer when rates were still low =(

I'm just trying to provide a counterpoint to the slew of advice stating that OP is somehow doing it wrong by looking at 5k/mo apartments. There are a lot of jobs in both tech and finance that pay decent performers 2+ years out of college more than enough to comfortably spend 5k/mo on rent.

I also do think that location of where you live and the quality of your apartment can matter a lot--what you get for 5k is different from what you get for 3k, and if someone can comfortably afford 5k/mo then it's totally reasonable to pay that for the location they want vs 3k/mo for one they find less appealing.
That person isn't "meek" usually, though. They are very clear that they have the power and you will obey them. They are very insistent, without ever having to get loud, and they will force you to follow the rules.

I don't have another word for that kind of person, but I agree that "nazi" should not be used that way.
What else should they have done with a bunch of strangely sized marble slabs?

They could either not care for the graves at all, or care for them a little bit. I can practically guarantee that there was someone at city hall that fought to get even this much.
It’s a very important issue. And you should apologize to me for hurting my feelings just now! How dare dismiss my concerns!… unless, of course, you think you have nothing to apologize for.

aaannd scene!

Do you see what I did, there? I am demonstrating the dynamic. I don’t really think you owe me an apology. But surely you have noticed that there is very frequently a disagreement among people about who owes who an apology and for what reasons.

So the first thing in any article about apology should be what it means and why give one. A much lesser priority is how to give one.
Note that since Xanadu links and transclusions are external, you can select which linkbases to show. So you can filter them, which is important because otherwise you will surely end up with an unlimited number of links on every single character. :)

If the system is working correctly, you should always be able to follow transcluded quotations back to their original primary source - that is one of the most fundamental design principles. Conversely, the rightsholder of a document should be able to see where their work is being quoted.
At the same time as this Apple deal, Microsoft also invested around $100M in another semi-competitor, Borland.

Borland had an office suite and a bunch of developer tools that competed with Microsoft.

I guess the Apple investment turned out better. Borland is long gone.

Feels the same as the state teaming up with a red light camera company for a cut of the tickets generated, no?

A financial incentive so perverse that you could imagine a locality shortening the yellow lights to create more offenders & revenue, at the expense of drivers’ wallets and sometimes even contributing to serious accidents[0].

It’s not surprising that local officials would be so corrupt, right? After all they are only human, just like the people in their prisons.

So true. Thanks for sharing. I don’t think it’s idealistic, either. It’s simply taking a longer term, more broad perspective for the health of our communities and society, rather than simply the immediate quarter’s results.

I was tempted for a second to buy the pamphlet, but then I remembered that they don't say anything new; they just dispense generic diet advice as a GP doctor would.

Does anybody know of a science-based anti-inflammatory diet? A diet that has been tested to decrease hsCRP levels?

I'm tempted to go to a dietician, but I can't shake the feeling that it's all voodoo.
I have been thinking about this problem. Why not create a exclusive spaces/floor for quite workers? Where you cannot make noise at all. Like in a library. So anybody irrespective of teams can just go there and get things done. I think good balance is necessary. Sales teams/Marketing teams cannot be just silently sitting around. They are conversation-prone with their work nature. But could use the exclusive spaces when necessary.

But this again has to be enforced from the top. Not just for some employees. If the CEO or higher executives cannot uphold this, there is no point.
