Uh not a native speaker, but the very first sentence of that blurb:

Brand Licensing provides the permission to trademarks, under defined conditions.

Really doesn't read well to me, feels like they omitted a verb, like it should be "the permission to USE trademarks" or something. Being permitted to a trademark feels very chopped-off.

Many people add "Reddit" to their search queries to find authentic product reviews.

I've been happily using Instapaper for this for many years. I add interesting articles to it from all over and then read and highlight in the app/web app right away or later. If I read an article directly, I still tend to add it to Instapaper to keep track of it, espesially if I found it interesting.

>The UK government is already preparing to spend almost 200 billion on stabilizing prices

I notice public figures saying (paraphrasing) "why shouldn't the current bout of inflation be like the 70s". And I think "because they were trying to maintain the gold standard for way too long and that's what got it going?"

Spending vast amounts on "stabilizing energy prices" seems like essentially the same sort of mistake.

I wonder why other countries falter in emulating the Federal Reserve, which seems to have learned something from history despite all its critics.

Back in December 2019, the company I worked for gave everyone AirPods Pros for Xmas. Lots of people tried them and complained a lot. I have a pair and rarely use them, only with devices that don't have a headphone jack.

Having no wires was not life changing, I don't really care about that. Running out of battery sucks though. The noise canceling really is great, but they never last a full flight, so I always need backup headphones.
> The rich are no different to the poor. They can't take their worldly possessions with them to the next life.

This holds true, assuming that there's an afterlife of any sort.

If there isn't, then the rich would simply live lavish lives, before ceasing to exist. Same outcome as for the rest of people, rather different experience during their lives.
The numbers say otherwise.

If we generated enough spare power to run lots of carbon capture equipment, and removed enough carbon, the planet would cool.

There are fantastic reasons to abandon fusion, and even better reasons to accelerate build-out of renewables, but that is not one of them.
The American healthcare system, and capitalism in general, tells us that richer people have more right to healthcare than poorer people. Even when supply is fixed (say land), we distribute it based on the ability and willingness of someone to pay, not on need.

Why should organ transplants be any different?
His tumor was caught early and easily operable (it was a rare type of pancreatic cancer that was). No doctor would have suggested he ignore the surgical option for diet etc, changes. By the time he changed his mind/it got worse, his options were much more limited.

At least in France 15-25 year fixed rate housing loans (technically it's not a mortgage because you don't guarantee the loan with the housing directly, there's an intermediary insurance to guarantee that will fight you over the housing if you stop paying) is pretty much the norm.

Ask HN: Earplugs as Powerful as Fingers?
Noise pollution is driving me to suicide. I tried all sorts of earplugs and earmuffs, but they don't do anything against dogs, loud music, bikes, etc.
However, if I stick my little fingers in my ears they block almost everything.

If I understand correctly, common earplugs are only meant to dampen unsafe noise, while allowing you to listen to coworkers and safety notices. I don't need that. My safety priority is to reclaim a tiny corner where I'm in control.

Given that this place is full of tech nerds, I'm hoping that someone knows of something that can completely cancel noise on the level of a dog barking close by.
There's something to be said about the system that allowed that to happen, and the people who made that system possible. I can't expect a person who is fearing for their life to make the most rational and compassionate decisions.

Giving up my email for a try is a no-go from me, but it's definitely a super interesting concept and, at least from the quick video, I could see this becoming fairly popular if the output is reasonable (and probably an adjustment on pricing -- I would not pay for it as is).

I think it would be useful for tattoo artists as well. I'd be totally on-board if my artist whipped something along these lines out on their tablet during a consult, we browsed through some designs based on my inputs, and then have my artist modify/add their personal touch.
Those are not mutually exclusive.

Compiling a Million Lines of Code with Delphi

> “This is not a surveillance system—nobody is watching it 24 hours a day,”

Surveillance doesn't mean being watched by a human 24 hours a day, nor has it ever. Not only that, but this is misdirection - they're surely storing the data so that if police (or politicians, or advertisers, or criminals) want to they can look it up and watch you 24h a day retroactively.
Compaq did a nice luggable IBM PC compatible, then the first 80386 desktop IBM PC compatible (before IBM had a 386 PC), and many subsequent things.

Compaq, DEC, HP... all great companies that became not what they used to be.

(IBM's eventual 386 PC was the PS/2 Model 80, using an MCA bus for expansion instead of 8/18-bit PC ISA, so it was maybe less PC-compatible than the Compaq.)

At no point is it easy, especially with chemical addiction, but it is the step than needs to happen.
I agree about relying on rotation and not trusting sockets.
The only thing I dislike is that there are actually two sizes, with different current ratings, and while most receptacles will accept both, some (or some extension cord) won’t. This is a safety feature, sure, but still annoying.

The Shuko plugs are also ok, easier to insert without looking, but very bulky. It’s in theory nice that they have “bent” (i.e. the cable protrudes at a 90 deg angle) and “straight” plugs, but in practice in most cases you can’t choose which plug to use where.
I wasn't even thinking about those folks actually, more referring to all the hikers who get lost during a day trip.
TEGs are pretty neat, but the temperature and energy flux is very hard on the materials.

If only there was some way to get energy from a fusion reaction via a semiconductor junction by running them in parallel at low temperature rather than in series at extremely high temperature, and a long way away so the neutrons could thermalize and you could absorb much easier to handle photons. Oh well.

> Aside from ridiculous increases in energy costs, it's really not feeling any different.

That's a pretty enormous aside. Some countries like France are capping energy prices to make sure people can afford to get electricity and heating. Meanwhile in the UK you've already had energy prices go what, double? triple? And it's not even winter yet! If you now suddenly have a chunk of the population who can't afford energy, things aren't doing great.

It's not that text messages aren't sent, it's just that they are only ever a fallback for when primary communication channels are not available.

Almost nobody that talks to each other regularly uses SMS.

zig is not meant to be just a systems programming language. It's stated goal is "Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal and reusable software." and Andrew really does intend for it to be useful far beyond systems programming. I hope they succeed, since I've been using zig regularly for over a year now, and I love it. I have decades of experience with assembly, Fortran, C, C++, Python, and Javascript, and I really appreciate what the Zig developers are trying to do. I hope they succeed!
Corporations don't have freedom of association now. For example, that is the entire point of the "public accommodation" designation. Instead, there's a lot of legal investigation into which reasons for banning people are good and which are evil.

Achieving stable fusion does not make practical power from it possible. It would necessarily cost >10x fission, and fission is not competitive.

We can be absolutely ,confident that by 2100, there will have been zero kWh of commercial power from Tokamak fusion. It is just barely possible that D-3He fusion might work by then, but it would still struggle to compete. It might find use in outer-solar-system spacecraft.

At the very least companies should be required to make it clear which provision of their T&C's you violated, and with which actions.
