Agreed. Dirhams is the unit, so it would be "16,000 dirhams," not $16,000 in dirhams.

> its too much of a temptation for politicians to use it for social engineering

Bullseye on the problem. This is the number one reason for the complexity. And the complexity is the number one reason for the massive resources required just to make the system work.

However, the solution... repeal the 16th amendment? If my memory of high school history class serves, didn't trying alternatives lead to the 16th amendment?

[edit] To provide some more focus: I'm not saying the politicians are the problem, but the carrot-and-stick social engineering.
42.7% of internet users worldwide (16-64 years old) use ad blocking tools at least once a month.

That framing sets of multiple mental alarm bells.

EDIT: it looks like the source is HootSuite may have a conflict of interest, as they seem to focus on social media advertising campaigns.
I will, for sure, switch to FF the second uBlock stops working in Chrome/Chromium.

I switched from the Safari on MacOS for just the same reason even though I lost things like ApplePay etc.

I am not giving up on uBlock. The web is too bloated and unusable for me without it.
Typically the ends of the cable has a steel part that goes into the slot. Torque applied to the cable would be limited by the steel end and not affect the inner electrical connection.
I like poetry. It still has a way to go though since it is slow as all hell doing almost anything and its error messages are closer to a stack trace than something actionable.
That's a hard story. Ouch.
E waste, no no don’t throw it out. You can use 99% of the apps even without ios16. It’s only when individual app developers phase out support for ios15 typically 2-3 years after. Facebook, YouTube etc still supports even iOS 12
> I disagree, you are actively telling the compiler that this is dead code.

No, you would be doing that by removing the code. You are telling the compiler that this is code you want and to shut the fuck up.
I think this is probably reasoning to reach the conclusion you had already decided you wanted.

The impact of a dollar in the developing world is so much more than anyone that you could help who is in close proximity to the typical HN commentator that it would take an absolutely massive amount of graft to equalize the two.

You can rearrange apps on their screen, you just can't have gaps between them or move them "freely" in a way that they alwasy snap to an invisible grid...which isn't really something I have thought about ever.
You can use Reminders in the browser.

I, too, use LibreOffice heavily, and I was a little confused by the OP. It works great for me. I genuinely prefer it over MS Office and the like.
I've been jonesing for an all-red Watch face since I jumped on this train with the Series 3, quite a bummer and inexplicable that it's an Ultra-exclusive feature.

Every year when they announce new Watch faces, I joke "maybe this year one of them will be good." Not this cycle, alas…
they mean they can’t have an app floating in space not in a nice pretty queue next to another app. not that they can’t rearrange them at all

According to Wikipedia they have 52 first-generation satellites from the late 90s, and 24 second-generation satellites from around 2010. And if we go by Iridium's lifetime I wouldn't expect the first generation to still be operational.

Compared to Starlink's 2400 currently operational satellites that does seem low. Even compared to Iridium's 75 from the late 2010s, Globalstar's 24 seems small.
Hmmm... I have a really hard time accounting with the MIT course load, which throws shade onto the rest of the article.

Yes, I have no doubt large firms offer NDAs at separation. I regularly sign NDAs when I start a new job, and when I exit them. Each time, I am compensated. The exit NDAs are reasonably narrow, and limited in time. If I do not like them, I do not sign them or ask for changes. It is just as much "hush money" or "not to tell" money about the company culture, as it is about intellectual property. It does not read like the OP was forced, threatened or coerced. If so, it is abhorrent and should be trumpeted to all.

> I worked hard at MIT. I routinely took seven to ten classes per semester and filled whatever hours were left in the day with part-time jobs and tutoring.

MIT uses a combination of lectures/recitations, labs/design/field, and outside prep in 'units'. I converted the units to credits. Overall, a 1-credit course is 3 hours a week work. Most courses are 3 and 4 credit. If we take 50% of the ten classes at 3 credit, and 50% at 4 credit, that comes out to be 335 and 345, or 105 hours. At max that 120 hours a week (10 courses @ 4 creds/class), and at minimum is still 63 hours a week (7 courses @ 3 creds/class).

Full time load at MIT is 36 or more units, or 12 credits.[0]

Three MIT units is approximately equal to one "semester hour" or credit.[1][2]

First year students are limited to 60 units (20 credits)[3] and

>you should note 48-54 units is still considered a typical load and advisable for most students. Requirements at MIT are structured so that you do not need to exceed 54 units per semester (or 48 in many cases) to successfully complete your degree in 4 years. [4]

> I think the comment mentioned the CoC because the previous comment, "This is appalling" was a bit rude.

The previous comment was indeed a bit rude. I personally wouldn't think it was rude enough to invoke a code of conduct.

Even just referring to a code of conduct has, IMO, a rather strong vibe of policing and perhaps even an implication of wrongdoing, more so than merely a suggestion to keep it calm.

I don't know the culture or context of Python development (either the language or CPython), but I'm inclined to agree with gdf that it's a bit weird to start reminding people of a CoC because of a slightly rude sentence or two, especially since the rest of the comment was reasonable technical argumentation even if unapologetic.

Even if closing the issue were entirely because of other reasons and benign (someone did still reference the issue in a commit later, though), it's all too easy to see the issue-closing comment as shutting out dissenting opinions, either because of a somewhat unpleasantly expressed argument or simply because "this is fixed, no further discussion needed".

The "this is appalling" comment may have been a bit rude but the closing one wasn't exactly a triumph in communication either.

the solution actually is an inexpensive one: provide age appropriate self learning materials and make the teachers coaches in navigating those. Montessori schools work like that and we have a public school using that to accommodate both very quick and very slow learners and all those in between. the trick is that most students spend two years in that class, slow learners stay for three and the quick kids move on after just one year. individualized learning and mixed age groups. cheap and works like a charm.
> I'm suspecting the journalists might be wrong?

I believe you're right. Although the URL still includes "lossless", the claim was just removed from the article itself.
It’s getting tiresome reading terrible takes from anti capitalists that not only attribute everything they view as negative as a product of capitalism, but also when those things are very obviously an improvement to the status quo.

The alternatives are satellite phones, which on their own cost a lot of money and will realistically only be wielded by people who expect they might end up in an emergency situation rather than anyone who owns an iPhone. This expands the coverage for life saving communication vastly.

We also don’t know the payment mechanisms involved with this service other than they’ll be covering the cost of it for the first two years of ownership. It seems extremely unlikely that they’d simply refuse to connect people in actual emergencies. Much more likely is that there’d be a fee for its use collected after the fact.
Seems a little sketchy. It would be a great advance fee scam to tell people that you are getting a $10K anonymous grant but you need to pay up some money first to receive it.

What would you make the electrodes out of?

Copper will react with the chlorine in tapwater and make an insoluble green scum of copper chloride.

Electrolysis with stainless steel makes highly toxic hexavalent chromium.

Platinum is astoundingly expensive, even for plating.

How expensive a filter is needed to remove 99.999% of the chlorine?

The thing with electrodes is that a fiftieth of a millimeter of non-condutive crap on the surface hugely reduces the effectiveness. Around here the bottom third of my kettle has a tenth of a mil of limescale.
You've been able to move apps around pretty easily for at least a decade. You can even remove them and just access them from the app drawer or have multiple copies on the same page. What he's talking about is not have them snap to an app grid.
1. Israel never signed the NPT. They aren’t subject to it. The US developed nuclear weapons in the 1940’s, prior to the NPT.

2. As I’ve already stated, I'm sure the regime that supports Hezbollah and hosts international Holocaust denial conferences has a nuanced and sophisticated position on the extermination of Jewish people and is fully deserving of all the charity you are extending to them.
They are going to look into it for $15 million dollars. Give that $15 million to a company like VMWare Tanzu Labs and they will deliver quality software which we can all use.

That being said, i don't expect this to happen in the next 5-10yrs because of ~bribing~ err lobbying (because this is America). TurboTax and H&R Block are not going to let this happen.

I think this is hard for monetary assistance where there really is a direct tradeoff. It's hard to say well I'll keep this $1000 to help someone I find individually when those $1000 instead donated to a faceless charity would probably save another persons life.

> Wittgenstein and Weil both came from relative affluence.

I've seen this come up many times in Philosophical discussion. The words to live by are those of privilege, who have rarely experienced the lifelong hardships of slaves.

However, plenty of people have read the words of (stoic) philosophers and have adapted them to extreme environments like torture. They say it worked and got them through. Do we need a modern day slave to independently come up with the same philosophical conclusions to call them a universal nature? Or can we derive them from logic and possibly data?
I can confirm the same with AT&T. Used it on several trips in Italy, Serbia, and Germany. Really easy to use and I didn’t notice any slowness or apparent deprioritization from being a US carrier.

They say this in the linked press release, though: "Given the outlook for inflation, the Governing Council still judges that the policy interest rate will need to rise further."

Ctrl-F “lossless”, “24”, “ALAC” on the tech specs page. No results.

I am no audiophile, and I don’t really care about lossless audio one way or the other, but it seems deceptive to plaster “Apple Lossless” all over the Apple Music app when no Apple headphones can play lossless audio. All the marketing talk about the audio improvements in the H2 chip seems designed to obscure this fact, and to compensate for the fact that the AirPods Pro 2 are technically inferior to other Bluetooth headphones that support lossless playback.
> Q: You'd prefer to roll the dice that you'll stay healthy?

not op but I think that in order to have a BI that works you would need to have a functioning single payer health care system like the NHS has. The poor people would still spend the money and the money trickles back up into the wealthy but there is a velocity of the money that the rich don't have that poorer people do have because it's spent in the community immediately instead of ticking up in some wealthy person's bank account accruing interest.
I disagree with every single point.

I don’t need help with reading comments. I need help with reading code. Highlighting comments distracts me from what I need to focus on to read. The idea that comments are bad, is also one I disagree with.

WRT to git diff, I intuitively understood green is added. No one had to tell me. The two “better” diff examples would cause me to misunderstand or not understand intent.
Sigh, Yes, wakeboarding is an extreme sport. Just because you personally might feel that it’s “not extreme enough” doesn’t change that fact. The category of extreme sports is about risks of serious injury or death, not about how “Rad” people perceive them to be.

Nagware/scareware (pushing subscriptions on users, possibly with misleading claims) is also a business model I've seen used.

I honestly don't mind the "pay to play" model. It's a way to establish a healthy ad ecosystem. Ad blockers define what they consider acceptable, and collect money. They have an incentive to find a reasonable balance: The less restrictive they are, the more money they make, but the second they go over the line, users will jump to another ad blocker that's more restrictive.

I've intentionally and knowingly tolerated the "acceptable ads" from ABP until they started allowing the Outbrain/Taboola chumboxes. (There even were two versions of those, the normal one full of bright colors, tits and disgusting disease images, and a slightly toned down one for the "acceptable ads" users!)

Since those ads rely on making you psychologically uncomfortable (feeling like you're missing out) unless you engage with their worthless, misleading and unsatisfactory clickbait content, they're 100% unacceptable to me, and ABP lost a user.

If uBlock Origin offered an ad whitelist that only allows ad networks that a) serve only their own JavaScript, no third party crap b) only serve static text and re-encoded static, non-animated images c) have some meaningfully enforced editorial standards, d) have some privacy oversight and follow tracking opt-outs, I would definitely give it a chance. I don't mind supporting web sites and content creators, and I don't mind seeing relevant ads (which can usually be targeted based on the content I'm looking at just fine).

I do mind having my fan try to reach escape velocity due to crappy JS, getting served malware and exploits, random "this site is trying to play DRM protected video" popups indicating that something is trying to do fingerprinting, 300 different companies getting my browsing data and 20 of them executing code in my browser (code that they haven't written themselves but have been handed by an intermediary of an intermediary), and last but not least graphic images of diseased body parts. Solve these problems, and I won't need to use an ad blocker. Don't solve these problems, and I will put protecting myself over your revenue.

I also mind having to constantly explain to my parents why the new cool product or shop they saw an ad for is an utter scam, and how exactly they'll lose money if they fall for it. I also mind having to constantly scrape crapware and malware from my friends' and relatives' computers, _including Chromebooks_. As long as ads lead to that, I have no choice but to deploy ad blockers.
Ask HN: How do you track product screenshots?
Just wondering how folks are tracking screenshots for your SaaS products (for use in documentation and marketing)?

What processes do you use to keep them up to date?

Do you have a scheme for tracking screenshots to builds?

A great maps feature would be to even let me choose google maps when clicking on an address in iMessage.

Not sure why you think that. With nearly any major event there is lots of people submitting duplicates, and when it gets this dense I don't blame people for flagging without comment, especially if the existing discussion is already on the front page.

The Canadian system has been failing well before covid. I have many examples, personally and from friends and family that dont paint our system as this shining beacon of healthcare. I often see left leaning Americans point at our system as if it is better than the American system.

Yup! The killer feature just got better. They claim noise cancellation is better and there’s a way yo adjust volume up and down on the stems. So dope. And more battery life! These are insta buys for us.
I have a weird rich kid story. My dad gave my siblings and I a lump sum that I saved for a while. After a couple of years, as my job had ended, I just bought a small CNC router and toyed with it at home, re-did the electronics, re-did the software (Fusion 360 was nascent), and put all of it on github. After a year or so I ran out of money and had to take a job again.

But the github thing slowly produced interest in my CNC work, I got a few gigs related to CAM development (I'm not a machinist) once in a while. Until recently where at last I got a real well-paying gig for some real CAM development work. It's a weird redemption: I went from bumming around with my dad's money to earning more than him because of what I did when I was jobless.
The "suicide count" in question was in one user's mini-bio (the bit below someone's profile pic where they can put custom text - not sure what that's called). Keffals' claim that it's a site "feature" is deceitful and that multiple users had it is an outright falsehood.

> Different speed, different acceleration.

Huh, interesting! Are you mouse or trackpad? I'm comparing side-by-side on trackpad and I can't detect any difference. If I flick the trackpad at the same speed they will both land roughly in the same place on the page, and the variation, as near as I can tell, is because of variations in my flick speed.

In both Safari and Firefox I find it basically effortless to scroll exactly where I want to. (This was emphatically not true for me in previous versions of Firefox.) Feels totally natural. Though maybe there is a difference I'm just not sensitive enough to detect!

FWIW, I'm on Firefox 104.0.2, macOS 12.5.1, MB Pro / M1 Max.

(Spark, which is a supposedly-native email app, somehow has weirder feeling scrolling to me than Firefox.)
As a variable rate holder, I am not the most pleased.
It seems the actual number is 43% of those surveyed use an ad blocking tool at least once a month, so a lot of those may only have their ad blocker installed on their PC, plus the bias that comes from only having the answers of those who responded to the survey
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as an ad blocker, is in fact, a content/ad blocker, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, a content plus ad blocker. Ad blockers are not an extension unto themselves, but rather another downloadable block list for a fully functioning user agent made useful by the extension, browser chrome, and vital web engine components comprising a full user agent content customization system, which, in this case, can be customized using the ABP blocklist syntax.

Many computer users run a modified version of a content blocker every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of the content blocker which is widely used today is often called an ad blocker, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically a generic content blocker with a particularly popular block list preloaded.
I would have completely agreed until I tried to pair my AirPods with Linux; they're the only device I've had trouble pairing with my Linux desktop. Even so, I mostly agree. What's going on at all the other companies that cannot get this right?

Economies of scale will bring prices down. It's becoming clear that a combination of energy density, capacity and transport requirements are going to make hydrogen a thing for some applications.

Same, I still love my 7 (which still works perfectly fine despite using it everyday, even still has its original battery and screen) and been avoiding the upgrade until now because of the lack of Home button on the newer models.

I use both iPhone 13 Pro & Pro Max everyday because I do iOS development (among many other things), so it's not like I don't know how to use the newer models, but the Home button is so intuitive I can use the 7 even when I'm half awake whereas I need to pay close attention to the screen on 13.

Not having a Home button is like a keyboard without an Esc key.
