One of my most magical bike rides was along Skyline Boulevard on the coast range on the SF Peninsula. It was a summer day as the fog moved in; there was a moderate wind out of the west, pushing clouds from west to east.

In the less densely-forested areas, it was windy and cold, but every time we went through a patch of trees, the wind died down, and it was raining. The way the trees caught the blowing fog meant it was more than the drips you get off of trees some days, but it felt like actual, natural rain. And I imagine on some level it's difficult to truly parse out the difference between which droplets came from fog hitting tree branches, and which were forced out of the cloud by the slowing and densifying moist air as it hit a thick grove of trees.
Interesting interpretation. I was simply providing an example of what a bold sustainability move might look like, contrasting with the low-stakes PR move of shuffling around the ownership of a private corporation.

Here are some less extreme examples:

- Make Patagonia 100% non-profit

- Make Patagonia 100% employee owned (equitably)

- Invest all profits in (any) clothing repair centers and services around the world

> It's highly relevant.

It's completely irrelevant when the conversation is "is this game poorly optimized?" - nobody ever talked about "obligation", that's a strawman you pulled out of nowhere.

The actual topic of conversation is "what games are poorly optimized". "Poorly optimized" means "making bad use of available resources" - which is irrespective of the amount of resources available.

You can make the argument that the devs are making the business decision of intentionally leaving their games poorly-optimized because they don't think that that'll recoup the cost of optimization (which is likely what's happening) - but that still makes those games poorly optimized, by definition.

>This is stronger than plurality or ranked?

Much stronger and more damaging. In a non-score system, a candidate does not care if their supporter ranks the other side as a 1, 3, 5 or 9. They voted for the candidate and that's what's important. In score, it's critical for every candidate to demonize the other side completely to ensure they get a 0 from their supporters (yes, that happens anyway, but now there's a much greater incentive). Way more polarizing.

[EDIT: Note that ads against your in-party opponent can only be so negative, because you'll need the opponent's supporters to vote for you in the general. This is true in general for wavering voters - they dislike too negative ads against people they also like, and that provides a limit of sorts. In score systems you have an incentive to demonize your opponents, even when talking to people who already support you]

>It seems your last two comments are acting under the assumption that IRV passes this criteria.

Actually, I prefer AV, but my considerations are... atypical. It's just I am very much against score/range methods, unless they are a thin disguise for a ranked system*, in which case it's slightly less bad.

* e.g. STAR, highlighted in a different comment below, is a ranked system in disguise. It's clever but way too complicated for voters.
It's behind the horizon. You people should learn by the history of the whole field that progress is always slower than the marketing hype, usually by an enormous gap.

I already spend much less time on YT since they butchered their recommendations. Now I‘ll think twice before clicking on a video, so I very much welcome this change.

Almost all the comments are focused on the "recurring revenue" from the side of the business.

We're looking at subscription from the point of view of the customer in our start-up.

We're in the neurotech/sleeptech business, and competitors (Dreem, Philips) were selling products for $500+, and we see other start-ups in the space apparently doing about the same.

We're looking at a subscription cost because it lets us get into the hands of more customers, which means we can bring our production costs down, and everyone wins.

Yes, our LTV, should we have churn right, will be more than the up-front cost, but as we say "I can't help somebody sleep if I can't get them to try the product".

So please don't ONLY look at SaaS from the perspective of the business. For many businesses, it makes more sense from the consumer side as well.

Years ago I got my not-so-tech-savvy parents using an ad blocker on their laptop, and recently when I upgraded them to a new device they briefly experienced the internet without an ad blocker and thought something was wrong with their brand new computer.

Once you experience the digital landscape with ads blocked, you quickly realize the mindblowing amount of advertising people are subjected to thru traditional media. I always wonder how much energy we're collectively wasting by sending people ads that they don't want to see, or will be blocked and never seen at all. What a waste

Then pay for YT Premium so you don't have ads.

Look, I hate ads. I really do. You can pry uBlock Origin from my cold, dead fingers. But the thing is, sites and creators and whatnot still often choose ads as a way to fund the things they create. If they're pushing ads at you over a medium where you have control (there's a reason why a web browser is a "user agent"), then I think you totally have the right to choose what your user agent does and does not fetch from the remote server. (And I believe uBO does work for YouTube ads?)

But if you're consuming something through a medium where you don't have full control -- such as the YouTube mobile app -- then you get what you get. If the ads are onerously bad enough, and people don't want to pay to remove ads, then fewer people will use YT and Google will dial it back. But there's always the paid option.

I get that many of us don't like ads -- again, I don't either -- and don't like a choice being made for us as to how we're going to "pay" for content online. But this isn't the case here: Google offers an ad-free paid experience. If you get enough value out of YouTube, maybe you should just pay for it. If you don't want to (or can't), then ads (or blocking) it is. Or just don't use it... vote with your feet.

I think the point is being able to then use markdown inside of that block, since many people seem to think that "**hello**" does look better than "<b>hello</b>". That being said, it would perhaps have been better to allow for HTML tags inside the markdown that themselves can have markdown inside of them (I'm not sure if this is the default behavior of markdown or not, or whether there are any weird parsing pitfalls in allowing this).

I think that perhaps there is also a contingency of people that have been using templates for ages that have the "{% %}" style, so this is maybe attractive to those folks?

To be clear, I agree with you, but I am just trying to figure out why this syntax would be chosen.

Edit: Perhaps there is also some sort of HTML injection argument against using real tags? That is to say, if you have an interface that allows users to input markdown, then with "{% %}" you can easily filter the allowable template tags, but perhaps it is just more error prone to try to handle "<>" tags that might then themselves get inserted into live HTML. I haven't thought it all the way through but just wondering if there is a non-stylistic argument for it.

AutoCAD is f-ing terrible. Let's talk about it
I've used AutoCAD for ten years, and I fucking hate it. When it's good, it's just marginally not too shitty. When it's bad, it's terrible. While I have become fairly experienced with using it, the quirks, inconsistencies and limitations often make it exasperating to deal with, and occasionally make it nightmarish. This puts me in the awkward position of doing something I've come more often recently to downright hate.

I want your best AutoCAD time saving and optimization tricks. Maybe a knowledge share like this will also be useful for other drafters and engineers who scroll HN.

While I'm not a programmer, I'd also like to hear thoughts from programmers who are familiar with AutoCAD. If an engineering entrepreneur with an unlimited budget, determined to start from scratch while keeping goodness about the things that are good, dropped the code on your desk and said 'okay what do we do with this shit?', what would your answer be?

Oh and, BTW, please don't hold back if you happen to have dank AutoCAD memes and/or a similar amount of ire (all of it) as I do for Autodesk and their associated hellspawn.

Thanks!
> defacto owned by Gulab Singh at that point

Sure, not in dispute. The point of the exercise is to recontextualize ownership of colonial spoils as the heritage of the colonized people, rather than the personal property of the monarchs involved, or the successor states of an empire. Indeed, I would broaden that to include all wealth plundered from the people, including by their own nobility. If the goal is to restore the diamond to the people who have had the greatest claim to it, it's not an impossible task to determine where their descendants currently live. If we seek to consider to simply restore the diamond to the last royal claimant (and their successor entity) before British hands entered the long relay of property ownership, I'm not sure much is accomplished.
So instead of an an actual solution to the given problem you resorted to snark?

Timeless.
There have been a few times when I answered someone's question on usenet or irc, and it turned into a more in-depth discussion where they hired me for small consulting engagements. I don't think there needs to be any middleman web site for informal things like that to pop up. I had thought Stack Overflow itself let people note in their profiles that they were available for hiring or consulting. I believe Github also does that. Regarding your specific Lua question, maybe you could just offer a bounty. I also have to wonder why you want Lua in the browser since you already have Javascript.

This essay is really incoherent. What is the point of the money-laundering anecdote at the beginning?
I’d love a rebuttal to backup the downvotes.
These discussions are difficult because events happen as series; what is meant by responsibility and "who's fault"? Is everyone who participated in the series of events to blame as they did not prevent it to progress? In what ways are drawing pertition lines and performing violence similar and different in terms of guilt or "faultiness" (and is there any point in discussing it)?

You may not even disagree; you and GP state different things which may both be true depending on what is understood by "fault"
The value you try to compute is currently exactly $79, including fees (which are about $1). If the number of transactions were to double (or halve) tomorrow, that value would halve (or double). You are just dividing fixed ongoing rewards by a variable metric unrelated to the rewards (transactions). You are propagating a misconception that somehow this represents the cost of a transaction.
Yes, I’m just wondering who this announcement matters to - if you’re a tiny startup where the cost savings is what tips you over the edge, are you likely to be using enough data for it to matter? If you’re at a big enterprise, you probably can’t properly evaluate quickly and will need more than 10GB but are almost certainly going to have enough budget that the free trial won’t factor in to your decision. There are some people in the middle but I’m curious how many there actually are with these restrictions.
> A wave has a frequency. There is no concept of "color" associated to a wave.

Funny because when I explained radiant heat to my daughter I used it as an example of light, but infrared is a color we can’t see (but we can feel the light the same way we feel the sun on our skin). She asked about other colors and I went into ultra violet, X rays (a color to which we are transparent), gamma rays, and so on.
Ah, we are dozens. At least.

Yeah this does sound very user unfriendly, although I have to say a good validation UX is particularly difficult to code (When to validate, on submission or on losing focus to that element or instantly on input? Do you need to debounce the validation? How to present validation error messages and where? Etc.).

Your example probably stemmed from the case that the developer wanted the user to have instant feedback on validation, and instead of displaying some validation error message next to the input, they decided f-it - let's just immediately validate on input and not allow any invalid input. Bad/lazy decision, but I can see how it came to be.

> your complaint is still just silly

The classic "dismiss the argument without actually making a logical point".

> That doesn't necessarily mean that the game is "unoptimized" as a whole though

I never said "unoptimized" - don't put words in my mouth. I said "poorly optimized" - and if a game makes poor use of its resources on low-end hardware when there are other games that make better use (under similar economic constraints), and there are a significant number of actual players on lower-end hardware, then yes, it's poorly-optimized.

> it's still quite a pretty game, it's really not that barebones, so I wouldn't expect it to run well on such a weak CPU and GPU, and to expect otherwise is silly

I've already responded to this argument with the case example of Valorant. Not only is the expectation not "silly", but there's, again, an existing counter-example. Expecting program to run on hardware that is capable of running them is not unreasonable at all.

The people who think that it's ok to waste the vast amount of a computer's potential are part of the problem of ever-more-bloated software that's wasting power and contributing to carbon emissions through poor use of available resources.
