Wow that's really bad - I have like four big supermarkets in 5 min walking distance from my flat and at least 4 convinience stores and even two real old school street markets. And I live on the far outsikrts of my town. And this is the norm here.

How Americans could screw themselves so much and let this happen ?
Do you know for sure that surveillance capitalism isn't pushing up the prices of your health insurance because you once googled a symptom, or your flight prices because your search history reveals your disposable income? Or even, taken to extremes, it could even preclude your from even getting health insurance because it can prove knowledge of a pre-existing condition.

That's not clear at all. See for yourself the actual user experience of using it: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/25/technology/personaltech/a...

From reading that a while ago, it seems to be designed so that Apple score some marketing points and plan ahead for regulations making that mandatory, while not actually delivering a credible service on that front. Virtually no one is going to use that service if it is indeed what's described in the article.
Same. I have Google TV and YouTube in there for me is now unusable due to the number of ads. It feels like it's gotten twice as bad in the last 6 months.

On Android, I use Newpipe (via F-Droid).
On laptop/desktop I use uBlock and SponsorBlock which do a great job together.
Insurance companies only need to (and only do) come out ahead in aggregate, not on any specific individual.

I am not sure I understand why this would be rare. If I am intending to construct a rasterizer for a first-person shooter, clipping is essentially mandatory for all but the most trivial of camera arrangements.
> but it's easy for me to believe that the assembly-line price of a screen triples by the time a repair is installed and the user gets the laptop back.

Like it or not, in a lovely city called Shenzhen, it costs you $200 to get your macbook pro's screen replaced in a regular roadside repair shop just next building to your fancy apple shop.

As a low skill job, you get to master the procedure by watching online video tutorials, interestingly, that is also a viable business in Shenzhen, they have such "online schools" to get people trained for such jobs and some of their videos are free -

At a prior gig we were using their FPGA instances and had a way of causing hard faults on the system that required reboots, with specific FPGA bitstreams. Their systems monitored this and when we reached out about it they scheduled at least 2-3 different calls with the engineers/PIs who were directly responsible so we could coordinate with them and help pin down the issue to get things working. We were literally renting by the hour; I don't even think we had an account manager, with variable costs; maybe a few hundred to 3k a month?
Where does all this data go? It's processed and then what? Sent to decision makers? Used to run automated processes?

I'm genuinely curious and would appreciate anyone who could show a real life example of this kind of pipeline where data is accumulated, then processed, then turned into revenue at the other end.

I've implemented systems that do this but my experience is that accumulating data is (too) easy, processing it in a meaningful way is slightly more challenging but ultimately driving positive business processes according to this data, which require a lot of friction with employees (training, procedures, maintenance, support) is the most difficult part.
It's not all due to mass production. Modern industrial design has made it so that accidents are expensive.

If you involve yourself and in a minor automobile collision and damage one of your front headlights on your Lexus with adaptive lighting, your total repair cost for the headlight itself will exceed $1000. A new headlight will require removal the front bumper and calibration of the adaptive sensors, both of which add labor costs. It's not just headlights; if you have lane-keeping technology in your vehicle and this is achieved via a forward facing camera, then a windshield replacement exceeds $1000 as well. If you smash your rear bumper into a mailbox and need to replace the whole bumper, you need your parking sensors re-calibrated. And this is with a maintainable car make like Lexus. For the more ostentatious luxury makes, the costs will be significantly more.

You might think, I'll buy a truck then. But trucks also have windshield-integrated forward-facing cameras, backup/parking sensors, and adaptive headlights. You wouldn't save much versus the Lexus.
Facebook Infer is now just an ordinary unsound static analysis tool where some of the original analyses are inspired by separation logic. It doesn't actually prove any facts about the program being analyzed using separation logic.
Nobody is proposing ignoring what people will buy. What I said is that literally thinking "this banana is delicious" does not achieve anything toward the actual delivery of any bananas for consumption. It is the end of the production story, not a part of the process, so it is not abstraction to leave it out. Set up a process for sampling batches of bananas if you want, but the value of that isn't for an employee to think "this banana is delicious" 100 times per day. That is confusing consumption with production. There's a good reason why production doesn't include consumption.
Because of how mesa is structured. OpenGL is notoriously terrible to implement, so there's a whole framework called Gallium that does the hard work for you, and you slot yourself into that. Meanwhile, Vulkan is easier to implement from scratch, so there's a lot less infrastructure for it in mesa, and you have to implement more of the boring paperwork correctly.

It's an accident of history more than anything else. Once the reverse engineering is further along, I expect a Vulkan driver to be written for it, and the Gallium one to be phased out in favor of Zink.
hi erikpukinskis, obviously SurrealDB can be run on your local development machine, or in your own cloud, so you would never have to connect to our servers for testing. In addition, we are releasing a number of client libraries which (in addition to connecting to a local or remote database server), will also allow you to run SurrealDB embedded i the language of your choice.

Coming soon are Nodejs native module (with embedded database functionality), Python (with embedded database functionality), WebAssembly (so you can run SurrealDB completely in your web browser), and C (with embedded database functionality).

In due course, we want to have native integrations for PHP, Java, and Swift too (and then more to come down the line).

This will mean that you could run tests without having to connect to any external service/platform/server!

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thing is parent's advice is horrible because the account manager at google simply started to ignore my billing issues. Like I could reach out to no one, the account manager realized I was going to leave and stopped responding.

So the "make sure you invest in an account manager" is not really an option at Google. AWS does this very proactively.

Unfortunately after 5 years, I can still see Google Cloud screwing over their customers like this. They seem determined to send more customers to AWS.
Yeah but let him complain, why get so attached to his interpretation.

I get your point but my MacBook Pro's screen cracked a few years ago. This happened in India, they quoted $700 (around 55k rupees) for a Mac that cost $1100 (around 90k rupees)
I'll only respond to your first part since solving the problem of hell differs from person to person.

>don't say stuff like "the circumcision of the heart" (lol!).

This is not a term I made, it's biblical. And as my post says I'm aware the entire gospel is foolish to unbelievers, and the Bible and God is aware of that. That's the basic hurdle of accepting the gospel.

"But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men."

1 Corinthians 23-25

"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;"

1 Corinthians 27

"At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children."

Matthew 11:25
Pretty much the same. (There's a Firefox video in the same Twitter thread mentioned earlier)
You seem very upset by this article, without giving concrete problems.

The examples at the start all seem reasonable to me, as does the password example at the end. What do you find wrong?
If you don't need/want YouTube Music, then yes, it's way to expensive. If I where to buy today, I would get the version without YouTube Music, and replace it with a service where more money goes to the artists.
This is the line where HN becomes not so useful. Maybe try to imagine there are other professions beyond engineering that have existed in parallel that have their way doing things oh I don't know like following standards and best practices in accounting.
> "if he wrote/called each one of them, would he get a better response?"

Honestly, yes. From the social media post in the article, it's quite easy to interpret the question "How come I can’t find something similar for Belgium?" as rhetorical, and intended to raise awareness more than to get a response. The tone is also accusatory (nothing wrong with this, but it's less likely to get a response on social media), so there's less benefit for an official response on social media that will invite further scrutiny.

The post also tags multiple representatives. If he tagged just one, there would already be a greater likelihood of a response, otherwise each person can deflect the question to the rest of the group.

If he sent a personalized email or letter to a single representative with a question or proposal (then waiting, and emailing a new representative if they didn't respond), then he could have been redirected to the most appropriate person. It's generally recognized that calls/emails/letters are quite effective. You can see it in campaigns where people are asked to "call/send an email" to their representative, instead of getting asked to tag them on social media.
Yes, that's the crux of the issue isn't it? The business model of the game is completely orthogonal to the ways people want to play the game.

What's the point of having a progression system if nobody is incentivized to actually progress? If your entire business model requires that people buy the battle pass, but they don't buy the battle pass because they just want to play with friends because the battle pass contents funnels them into solo play the game won't survive as a F2P title.

Why is that relevant? Why is the misapplication of a descriptive label somehow invalidating the aptness of the label in the correct context.

Some ugly people are described as beautiful by some other people. Does that mean beauty doesn't exist?

Yes some news is like gossip, why does that matter?
I think we are arguring the same point. I don't think Apple is doing this with good motivations and eliminating the independent repair shop is bad. The article you linked only further articulates why this move is bad for many other reasons, too

I don't list an email in my GitHub profile, but based on some emails I've gotten, I can tell they have mined it from the commit log. That's why I recommend using an email address just for GitHub/LinkedIn and keeping a more private one for other services (e.g. health-related).
Why should unrelated third parties be concerned that you found a bug in Gmail? They'll say that's Google's problem to fix.

I don't like email marketing either, but when on the public internet you kind of accept existing in public. You already use a (buggy) solution to navigate around your dislike in acceptance of what being in public entails.

Perhaps moving your patronage to a vendor more concerned about producing quality, stable, and long lasting software is in order?

If you block people on twitter, they cannot interact with your tweets anymore and that effectively makes it impossible to call them out to other people reading those tweets. It reduces reach for those who are blocked.
The root of the problem is essentially Apple since there is no other way than going to these service centers. Moreover the policy fears are so much instilled in these service centers and Apple support people that they can't even see whats the right thing to do by the customer.
This is very cool but I just wish the NYFD would stop being so ultra-conservative and start allowing home batteries like the Tesla Powerwall in NY buildings.
In the world of software engineering, it seems like nobody can agree on what productivity means. I’ve seen many engineering leaders struggle with its definition, many with conflicting opinions on what engineering productivity means and what metrics to look at. But understanding productivity is key to unlocking the potential of many engineering organizations, and can ultimately help us ship better products.
Even with a guard band don’t you need to at least test the polygons for Z clipping prior to the perspective divide?

Clipping in X and Y is simpler at least, and again the guard band hopefully mostly covers you.
Clearly not. We aren't going to solve it.

We probably will continue to expand though.

I propose an alternative: we should get our society more independent of cars. Physical activity by walking and cycling around instead of sitting all day also increases health and with it fertility.
Market competition only goes so far.
THIS. I love how AWS AM go out of their way to deliver, where as Google's AM simply start to ghost you when the conversation gets to heated or not contributing to their bonus cheques.

As I've said and others have experienced, GCP's AM are killing their business and we've built up everything around AWS. There's no need to even learn Terraform, all of what we do are automated anyhow without it. CDK is enough.

Screw Google, screw Azure.

One of the best parts about desktops is being able to upgrade pieces at a time. I build my computer about 5 years ago. It's been slowing down a bit over the last six months and I realized that I only had 16 gigs of ram. That was pretty good at the time. Now 32 is much more standard. Upgraded to 32 gigs for ~$120 and its been great.
Sign up with Spotify not working on my end though.
> It’s beyond tedious to get the kids in and out of the car seats all the time

Car seats are a minor annoyance. With certain children, managing the headstrong children is time consuming around getting into and out of cars, but car seats themselves are easy.

Unless you are putting them in and and taking them out after every trip, but why would you do that?
Perhaps the relatively short term pains of population collapse will be a net benefit in the long term - forcing economic systems and society to change in ways that support longer term stability with better quality of life.

People here are going to hate me but there is a "right" way to do this if you're a startup. Have a cool dev tool that solves someone's problem? People actually want their problems to be solved.

But DON'T blind pitch them via their github email. This is spam.

However, you CAN try to start a conversation with someone and learn about the problems they face. "I saw your email in a commit about X, I am working on Y, want to learn more. Can I ask you [insert specific, targeted and thoughtful question]?" If you have a conversation like a real human, and they actually have the problem you are solving, then it's appropriate to mention your tool.

It turns out if you're actually solving someone's problem, they want to talk to you.
He got fed up by the tug of war between parties that seem to focus solely on grabbing power instead of implementing long-term solutions.
I think we will see major changes in the ranking of countries in Europe in the next lifetime. Austria and Belgium are now net beneficiaries of EU budget. You simply can't build a competitive economy with 50-79% income taxes. I can't think of any single high-value add product or service that comes from Belgium. There must be a reason for that.
I get dozens of these open source research emails a year, and they annoy me greatly.

But I'll point out: these are graduate or PhD students, traversing language and etiquette boundaries, under pressure from their advisors to acquire the data they need to publish (or perish). I wish they wouldn't do it (and that their advisors would nudge them away from pointless surveys), but naming individual students isn't really calling out the bad actors here.
I don't disagree there's some medium there, but I think we can both agree that despite the Overton window shifting we probably won't consider riding in the bed of a pickup acceptable child safety.

As I understand it the rear facing childseats are only required until the age of two. If you can only fit one in the back of your truck, doesn't that mean that really you just need to stagger out your children if you want to have multiple?

Two things on this:

People left early in the war because of panic and because Russia was trying to invade the while of Ukraine. But if we look at the situation now, arguably there is no reason to have refugees outside of Ukraine.

Second thing is that, in any case, the Ukrainian refugees are not disruptive at continent level, though they might be in specific areas near Ukraine.

Of course a war, any war, is disruptive and horrible for the people involved. But we're looking at the macro impact on Europe here.
I understand that. But why have constraints that don’t do anything?
One could also argue that the U.S.'s lack of affordable high-quality mass transit reduces fertility. And probably by a lot more than having to use a car seat. Owning a car is roughly as expensive as raising one child for 18 years, especially if there's any consideration given to using newer cars with higher safety standards.

Cutting to the core of the article, though, is it any wonder that a hypercapitalist society doesn't prefer having children? There's no contract saying that children must contribute back to their parents in any economic way so they are a poor investment compared to bonds or stocks. A large fraction of children go to college (often at their parents' expense) and move out of the local community, newly minted economic units destined to enrich the already super-rich with their labor, which promises no tangible benefits to potential parents. The article touches on the lack of economic incentives for higher fertility but seems to treat it as more of an externality than a fundamental problem. Children used to be a capital investment and are now a cost center.
Hey, this looks great, thanks for working on it! I'm the creator of Mapzy[0], an open-source and self-hostable store finder. We're trying to focus on privacy as much as possible, but currently use Mapbox since it's better than Google Maps and we didn't find any other alternatives.

Do you think Headway could be a replacement for us? We currently use the Mapbox JS library to create the pins etc. - could we use Headway with Leaflet JS for example? We also use the Mapbox geocoder, mainly for reverse geocoding of addresses. How does Headway's geocoder compare?

Can someone explain to me, in little tiny words, the "e-Residency" thing? As an American, if I become an "e-resident" of Estonia, I can then open a business in Estonia, right? But then aren't I just making myself subject to the regulations and taxes of two governments instead of just one? How is this simplifying things or reducing costs?
