Even ignoring the comparison to existing options. 700$ doesn't sound ridiculous if you consider it includes exam, fitting and so on. It's only 2x the price of airpods, which doesn't come with exam or fitting.
Also these countries are not monoliths. Some actions may be good and some evil. "good and evil" is for children's fairy tails and Star Wars. International politics is sociopathic game theory.
In Ruby, `foo.method(:bar).source_location` works like 98% of the time. There are also LSPs like Solargraph now that work pretty well in VSCode, etc.

I will admit there are certain gems which metaprogram the heck out of everything and that can get annoying, but the flipside is usually those are the gems which are hugely flexible because they're so popular and widely used (I'm looking at you Devise)—and if so there's plenty of documentation and community support out there. I'm also glad `binding.irb` is a thing now for immediately jumping into a console in the midst of your running app, and the new debug.rb gem shipping with Ruby 3.1+ is awesome as well (also with a VSCode integration).
Developers can write a smart contract without running it on their hardware, the people running it are miners.
Now let's do glasses and most drugs.
I struggled quite a bit with Arch. I found the documentation quite confusing and it seemed incomplete, and getting support was quite difficult. Manjaro provided a very easy way to try Arch. If the process to install Arch had been easier, I wouldn't have bothered even looking for any derivatives of it.
The airtag will start making noise if its away from its owner too long and moving around. When you find it you can bring it to a police station and they can use the serial number to get the owners details from Apple.

Sure its not bullet proof, but I really don't know they had any better options. Apple is currently by far the best at attempting to stop tracking of all the tracker tile products.

An end game solution would be all the OEMs working together one some anti tracking notification spec but that isn't easy to arrange.
Rather than replying in any meaningful way or really even reading what you wrote, I'm just going to sit back and relish the time wasted you'll never get back writing that, and not make the same mistake on my end. Adios.
Excellent. Asimov's "decay of empire" scenario approaches! (every living human eventually forgets how to repeat, or even interperet how the complex systems undergirding our entire society works, eventually rendering maintenance impossible)
On the face of it, $27M/209 is approximately $130k and not $245k. Am I missing something?
Full agree.

The article touches on my main complaint: Manjaro comes with an AUR helper but does not use Arch repositories.

Think about how silly that is. One of your distros main selling point is automatic AUR access! The AUR packages depend on the official arch repos!

It’s like the worst of both worlds:

The instability of rolling release without access to the actual bleeding edge packages.
I think while bad actors now have another thing for their mental checklist and could easily detect an airtag, there would still be a non-zero number of cases where the airtag helps.
It seems that Garuda that's mentioned in this article does that.
Doesn't it take about 6 minutes to smoke a cigarette? You'd be chain smoking the full hour. I don't know about everybody else, but I'd be so dizzy half-way through the second stick that I'd fall over and crack my head open.
I'm skeptical about this. I also have trouble understanding what people are saying in a noisy environment. Almost every google search result for this type of thing is a business selling hearing aids, all saying that it's a sign of hearing loss. But my hearing itself seems fine. I suspect that it's more of a brain thing. Some people are better than others at understanding (or pretending to understand) what people are saying in a noisy environment.
The market there has mostly eliminated titration in the US. Instead of determining the ideal pressures in a controlled environment, APAP machines are prescribed instead which monitor for events (where you may have stopped breathing) and increase the pressure in turn.

This is why such a large number of sleep studies are home studies now - it is cheaper to spend $200 more for APAP then pay for an overnight sleep study center
Funny you ask. I have no idea where I heard but I thought it is easier to type than the whole word. If you google Liz Warren, it auto completes to Elizabeth Warren so its def. a thing.
It's crazy that a "privacy" company would make something like this... Apple is all speech... even Google didn't make something this evil.
Out of curiosity, how do European banks avoid this issue?

In the UK we have a system of Direct Debits that is popular particularly for making recurring payments like household bills or subscriptions. You provide your bank account numbers to the merchant and they can collect the required money directly.

It sounds like a huge opportunity for abuse by merchants but the easy setup is balanced by a universal Direct Debit guarantee for account holders that basically says if any erroneous charge is made then you get your money back from your bank first and questions are asked later. Merchants are required to provide all customers who pay this way with certain information about the guarantee scheme (and everyone actually does).

That in turn sounds like an opportunity for abuse by customers but having personally run a business that accepts Direct Debits I can tell you that we have never seen a single abusive reversal of a Direct Debit payment. In contract we've had a few problems with legitimate charges to cards being reversed later and the whole system around chargebacks with credit cards seems to be unreliable for both merchants and cardholders.
For one, tracking devices aren’t new and none of the others alert you id they are following you.
I purchased an EcoTank ET-2760 at Costco last year. When it prints, it prints pretty good and it seems like we get good economy from the ink. BUT we go through these cycles of printing a lot then nothing for weeks. So after one of the "rest" periods, we usually have to run the cleaning routine multiple times to get a decent print.

That and my wife failed to grok how the colors were keyed to the different reservoirs and ended up spilling a lot of cyan ink trying to force it.

Maybe you dodged a bullet.
I mean, if you actually knew what was going on at Microsoft, you'd understand. I don't work for them, don't use their tech stack (not since the 2000s at least), however even I know they've moved to a cross platform UI/UX (.NET MAUI) framework. See the top comment on this post.

EDIT: This move was actually made due to direct feedback from .NET being open sourced. 1 API, 1 way of building things, multiple platforms.
There are some stories of this going wrong the other way. Police showing up and insisting that you stole a device because the not super accurate location was reported at their address.
We don't put 93 year old women in prison for saying Auschwitz was a work camp, so wherever "we" are is at least not that bad.

This is true. Especially for programming where you can be asked to do anything at all that is computable. If you massively limit the scope then Excel is a fine interface. Try making blogging software in Excel though.

Do lawyers have want to move away from text and to something better? No. But for simple rules you can do no wordy things, like a no smoking sign or a locked door to indicate a rule.

Formatting issues can be resolved by using an autoformatter. Tools can be made to visualise the code too.
im not an expert but i think you can just do the first-order dependencies on requirements.txt and then do a pip freeze with constraints.txt and do `pip install -r requirements.txt -c constraints.txt`. that'll make you both happy.

Before constraints.txt came into play, I would've done what you said with pip freeze. With only first-order dependencies, that sounds more likely to break at some point due to the other potential version changes. I think your colleague needs to explain why things are breaking in his case.
It really depends if the barrier to entry for manufacture of hearing aids goes down. If there's still a ton of red tape to bring a hearing aid to market, you might not see very many new entrants and so you wouldn't see prices drop dramatically.

Of course the cost of getting a hearing aid will only include a trip to the pharmacy and the device itself and not doctor visits and all that, so it still benefits people that need them.
> I'm not seeing where "markup" is coming into this.

In the spot where a couple hundred bucks worth of services and a couple hundred bucks worth of electronics becomes $2,500.
Huh, didn’t know this was a thing. You’re pretty much describing me exactly. My hearing is basically normal but parties, or even dinners with more than, say, four people, are hell for me to keep up with.

If I focus on a single person, I can usually have a normal conversation with them and them only, at the expense of blocking out literally everyone and everything else. So, could be worse, but it would be nice to be able to keep up in crowded rooms more easily.

That's true, foreign company, from tech company to manufacture company, all of them provides more friendly working environment than China local companies.
The workers in Shanghai Tesla work 12 hours a day, and paid less than 1500$ a month, which might be unacceptable for western labors, but even this is much better than other local car manufacture companies.
I think you _can_ do over the counter glasses --although that can miss undiagnosed eye issues.
Had a hearing test. The guy said "I'm legally unable to prescribe a hearing aid for you"

My issues seem to be cognitive in nature...I wonder how many people will encounter the same thing?
Do you honestly think police have the resources to track every stolen item like this?
Re: First

What code wouldn't already be in version control?
I'd consider the way you're asking for the feature. There was definitely an air of "this is such a simple feature why can't I just have it it should be no trouble for everyone involved it's just a username". I think if people asking for this feature were to spitball through it and acknowledge the tradeoffs rather than incessantly repeat how uncompromising they are in their need for usernames and their need for Signal to have them yesterday, the conversation wouldn't seem so volatile. I actually wasn't trying to dive in and sling mud. I see this conversation all the time on HN and, coming across it again, wanted to suggest that maybe another product with usernames would work better for these people since literally every time Signal comes up on HN the peanut gallery shoots off with tired smears and entitled quips about how Signal users phone numbers.

The strong response you encounter is people trying to communicate that it isn't that simple for them. That it means enough of a shift in Signal's model that they're really worried about the change to the product if Signal implemented it, not least because it changes the very thing that drew them to the product in the first place. And unfortunately, it seems the worries are not unfounded. I genuinely don't think many of the people asking for usernames would want them if the proposition was clear: "you can have them but you have to trust us with your contacts book and personal information". It's the catch22: in order to have the privacy of a username, you must give up the privacy you'd win. For some people, they trust Signal with that responsibility more than their carrier (like a VPN) and it's a good tradeoff.

Me? What was compelling about Signal is that it was my contacts book and encrypted communication. No accounts/profiles, no passwords, no proprietary software, no invasive product analytics, just a global DB associating phone numbers with pubkeys. That was my pipe dream but I also acknowledge I'm not the center of the world either: in the same way you begrudgingly use Signal with a phone number, it's also not the end of the world for me if we have yet another company out there where I need to maintain a profile and stick a password in my password manager and login periodically. But sadly, if Signal gets to that point, it ultimately means the "Signal experiment" portion of the product's life will have come to an end. <- This, more than anything else, is why the suggestions to go use one of the products that already provide the experience you're looking for is apropos and not dismissive. We don't want the experiment to end. The entire point of championing Signal in the first place was idea that we could collectively participate in a product that didn't do what everyone else on the internet did and send off all your data to their servers the minute you opened their app.

You're implying the attacker shares (among other things) skin color with the author, but is there evidence of that?
>Credentials don’t matter. How is me saying the comment doesn’t mean anything, mean I care about credentials?

So you really meant to just say "this doesn't mean anything" rather than "You're anonymous. This doesn't mean anything." Turns out your comment was just another disingenuous "heads I win, tails you lose" where by your own self admitted stance, it would have also not meant anything if they weren't anonymous and actually did provide credentials (despite classes OP called for actually being a part of getting those credentials).
> Rich folks only need so many mansions, yachts and designer sweat pants. This would further shift the burden of taxes onto lower income folks who spend 100% of what they earn.

This is a feature not a bug of that plan. There’s no amount of tax that’s too low when the answer to “How much do you need to be happy?” is more.
I think it was by Jeff Atwood and hence is called Atwood's Law.
That's still not true. Pull-based schemes are widely used across the SEPA region and in national schemes such as the UK's Direct Debits.

A notorious celebrity in the UK famously revealed his bank details as a stunt to show that a large-scale data loss incident wasn't a big deal and he ended up making an unexpected payment to a healthcare charity shortly afterwards.
There is a functional difference in how credit/debit cards work, though.

With credit cards, you get an invoice with fraudulent charges at the end of the month. You can choose not to pay those charges, citing fraud. The bank will clear the charges if they agree.

With debit cards, the money is withdrawn directly from your account. You can report the unauthorized withdrawal, and the bank will reimburse you if they agree. In the meantime, you don't have access to the money.
Arch's documentation is incomplete?

Arch has to have the most comprehensive documentation of all the distros. Even when I'm troubleshooting other distros I'll check the Arch wiki first!
> 99% chance the people complaining about labor conditions are doing so on a made in China phone.

99% of everyone has a phone made in China, does this mean it's not possible to complain about the state of the world we live in?

That's my point. The Act specified three years for the implementation, which HHS/FDA ignored. As I wrote, "There would be no shame in Biden praising an action made by Trump or in Trump praising an action made by Obama."
Most businesses want CRUD apps, and people don’t particularly like coding them. Technology where you can pump out a CRUD app with little to no effort would be a blessing, freeing people to work on more interesting problems.
No, since I can cycle while going other activities (commute, shopping), and the consequent fitness adds value to other parts of life.
I'm not saying Monero will crash and nobody will use it if it gets sanctioned, but just like ETH coming from Tornado Cash is considered tainted the same could apply to all Monero.
>Then who will do the lawn care, cook, and serve? Will they have to commute hours everyday to make coffee and clean floors?

Sure, why not? They can then charge a fortune for these services because of the commute time.

And for restaurants and the like, they can simply charge extremely high prices to eat there, to pay for workers needing to commute so far. And if the wealthy people refuse to pay for that, the restaurants can just go out of business, and the wealthy people can just cook their own food at home.

I don't really see the problem here, except that this wouldn't result in a healthy community, but it seems these wealthy assholes don't actually want healthy communities. So maybe the healthy communities should be elsewhere, and the wealthy NIMBYs can just live in their own enclave and cook their own food and clean their own floors.
Ironically, I know everything from ASM to...well many languages, including C, C++, PHP, Python, Ruby, Javascript, etc.

The most productive tools I used prior to learning all of that? HyperCard on the Mac, Visual Basic on Windows. Why? Tooling. Even when you had to get down and dirty, it seemed the tooling helped you out in some way. Shoot, I wrote an application back in the 90s in VB6 that still is functional TODAY not just in Windows, but in Linux and MacOS (thanks to translation layers such as Wine)

The same can NOT be said for the game I made in C++/OpenGL later...
Hence the utility of AirTags.
I would say it depends on the area. Small town? I'm sure they would if they're not lazy. Big city, yeah, they have better things to do.

I've been salty about police since my car was destroyed in a hit and run and I had to crawl out the window and wait for police to respond for an hour. They didn't even bother to talk to witnesses or attempt to find the guy. LAPD folks.

Is anyone in the tech community still under the illusion that Apple is in any way a privacy company?

Apple could just publish their spec so that Android can also implement it.
The novel /referenced/ is Children of Ruin, the sequel, which is just as amazing. I assume the author is referring to the diptych by its first part's name.

Small discrepancy which might confuse exactly the readers who would enjoy the whole work.
I think that poster probably meant feedback loops or virtuous cycles (ones that create beneficial second and third order effects, with outsized impact vs what you might assume based solely on the first order change), more so than network effects.

She’s that not because she has claimed to be, but because she lives as one in mind, word and deed. That’s what makes women women as well, not simply claiming to be one. That you don’t recognize the difference between the lived experience and the simple acclamation may explain why you have the opinion you do both this point and the broader topic. I’d suggest thinking more about that difference.
How much is someone's hearing worth? I feel like 700$ is a good price for a whole sense.
The point was to add _everything_ to version control. Dependencies, artifacts, outputs, etc. The last project I was refactoring had git the size of 2G because of this, but it saved me a ton of headache. I was refactoring a system that I wasn't deeply familiar with. Having everything in version control allowed me to track how modifying the system code changed the outputs, and if upgrading dependencies broke the program, I could view diff to understand how dependencies changed.
Kinder eggs were invented decades after the law that bans them; the law doesn't target Kinder eggs specifically and wasn't motivated by Kinder eggs. They're banned because this (generally sensible) ban on putting inedible things inside of food doesn't have an exemption for kinder eggs. A blanket ban on the practice is easier than getting into the weeds of which specific inedible inclusions are safe and which aren't.

And seeing as we're talking about candy, I don't think fixing this is high on many people's list of priorities.
>And this doesn't require expensive, licensed software, like Delphi 30 years ago.

Delphi wasn't expensive for most of it's life, until they got greedy, and lost the market.

Lazarus is the modern open source replacement, it's mostly compatible with Delphi, and $1400 cheaper. ;-)

“some brain thing that make it hard to understand voices”

Is there a name for this?

When I was 15, something similar started happening to me but even during one on one conversations. Someone would say something, I would hear the sounds, but wasn’t able to really make sense of it (and reply) for a few seconds.

When tested, my hearing was perfect. I never dug too much into it, and eventually it got a lot better. It still happens sometimes in some situations though.

Would be great to learn more about it if you have any additional info.
