Oh, I could google myself right now, nonstop cockroach pictures, piece of cake. Just need to tease the algorithms a bit. Like why would I? That's old news. Better for both that I not look right now. Like objectively what happens? 1984 was erased, The Metamorphosis also erased, so in fact Kafka was dredged before 1984, means it's not as harmful probably. Eh. Like oh this was gone, the idea that if something did happen to me I had to report it as soon as possible, first opportunity. Wrote down the date I recollected that. Clearly the opportunity went stale, there's exceptions and this was it. Sacred? Memories? Consistency? Why would anything conform to that? Sue whom where how? Forget it.

Courts of no worth. Not constructive, only letting a very bullshit trial pass barely once after 80 years of lobotomies doubling their bet every time they lose, martingale, yeah, and had to have the planets align too, and never once falsely confess to anything, that's like day...uh...day...uh...well there I'm lost. Lost track of time.

Like that is shit. Supreme Court knows which country it's in, like why do they need to get sucked up to to that extent to be willing to answer a brain surgeon? Can he even code? Richest specialty of the richest career, to be rich be a doctor once you're a doctor be a brain surgeon, best of the best. Not the best, but come on. No malpractice suits from patients, as far as the patients can tell? Perfection every time!

Like if it did happen, how would you find out? Being told by a factual blog? Search engine? Words? Report? Truth? Text? Dude idealist on a crusade! Moth to a flame!

No like you know I can do the better thing and make a search engine, just in order to show off a blog, just in order to parade pictures of cockroaches. I'm remembering one now, [flash 17:21 Sep 19 2022], Giant Cockroach from Urza's Legacy in mtg, 3{B} 4/2 no abilities. Vanilla. I remembered the name, looked it up, that's googling myself, there's the pictures.

Boom, there it is. Flashed on it today at that time, the memory was erased, it came back with the specific flashback sensation, I wrote the time down, that's all there is. What's next? Dude any other literature? Chinese torture, something, hardcore shit. Like why not write an entire novel that only takes place inside a torture chamber, a torture chamber retaliation? Dream of the red chamber, dream of the torture chamber ever touched by sunlight, dude don't bore me with hope. Hope will fuck with me as it will, but don't distract from the pain. Like only in the obliuette, [flash 17:25 Sep 19 2022 obliuette], like why zoom out? What else is worth talking about? At least the torture happens in person, not through a camera. The last form of human contact.
That main quest line is a masterpiece and the rest of the game is pretty great as well.

I was moved to tears at a few points. Phenomenal.

It's not clear there what counts towards the revenue and towards costs, since third-party repair shops are involved. I want to know if one user taking a phone to Apple for repair costs them more than the user pays, and they don't really say, nor is it a simple answer with all the fixed costs and shared resources involved (like, stores have footprints, and geniuses do other stuff too). Third-party repair shops are a much simpler situation since they only repair stuff, and at moderate scale. They're somehow profitable on their own, unless Apple is subsidizing them.

Also, the title is from Apple's PR in one of those congressional hearings where they're responding to (often over-simplified) complaints of anti-competitive behavior. It's going to be spun like none other. Apple also claims a way higher effective tax rate in Europe than what they're regularly accused of, and calculated some way they're probably technically correct.
Yes, sedentary lifestyles require less overall energy input vs. active ones
> what good is it to have a repair manual when you cannot buy genuine parts?

You can absolutely buy genuine parts for recent iPhones: https://selfservicerepair.com/order (that website looks random, but it's actually Apple's official self repair supplier)

Yes, the System Configuration step is still required to pair many of those parts. This has been discussed ad nauseum. Perspectives vary between it being a necessary security precaution and an entirely self-interested move by Apple to control their supply chain. I suspect the truth is somewhere in between.

I've never done the System Configuration step, but it requires chatting with a support agent and it sounds much easier than the repairs themselves. I absolutely agree things could still improve. But I also think we should recognize this new iPhone 14 re-design as a huge improvement that shows a promising trend.
IMO the data privacy angle is not super important. There isn't that much that TikTok can collect from you anyway. IMO much more important is that the videos that are shown to you while you mindlessly scroll for that next dopamine hit are controlled by the CCP.
A nice alternative for Linux users that I can recommend is NaSC. Unfortunately not very actively maintained, but I'd say it's very much usable: https://github.com/parnold-x/nasc
Despite most Europeans not participating, I'd recommend anyone new moving to Europe do the same - find winter activities to participate in.

In the West, Europeans have a reputation (not sure if true) of being socially conservative - they don't talk to strangers and you can't easily make friends. I'd suggest that the most natural way of making friends in any environment is to find activities are fun - perhaps a little challenging - that the locals enjoy.
None of this is good, but… how much damage can they really do with this data?

Wouldn't that definition rule out gas giants?
I just buy games years after launch once the eager masses have help work out all the bugs and the DLC's are all thrown in with the game for $10. It's very hard to want to pay $60+ for what is often an unfinished mess in modern gaming.
But hasn't the American government constantly meddled in other countries' affairs and justified it using freedom/democracy to its own people?

I don't want to be insensitive, but the whole 9/11 thing is such hypocrisy. They call it a terrorist attack, but America has been and is the terrorists to a substantial portion of the world. Claiming otherwise is just ignorant
There was never any simple way of turning it into an app with these sort of products. Flash had a very unique set of functional/creative affordances that have never since been replicated in an authoring tool. I worked on many bespoke solutions to migrate Flash animations to apps and the lack of proper integration and ecosystem supporting the workflows made it far too impractical to try and reproduce much of Flash’s functionality. It many instances the business objectives were tied directly to the capabilities of Flash. Flash also had an extremely robust means of loading isolated application modules that helped businesses isolate their workloads and scale their applications. Solving that problem once Flash was gone was beyond the capabilities of many businesses that relied heavily on Flash.
> It's not "caused" by the culture or the environment, but by parenting.

I don't think you can treat people's parenting behavior as being a non-environment-influenced thing.

I found listening to the audiobook version of Viktor Frankel's 'Man's search for meaning' was very helpful. Funnily enough, I have read the book but got more out of the audiobook.

I know you don't want to hear more fitness, but weightlifting made a huge impact on my outlook. Try 'Starting Strength'. Getting strong makes all the little aches and pains go away and you hit new, easily-measured goals.

Finally, visiting the deathbeds of family made me realize that the only thing you carry at the end of your life is the love that you've fostered. Seeing the world through that lens truly changed me.
What's bad about the fights?

Between dodge, parry, counters and the abilities I find that they can be pretty engaging. Unless you go on button smashing mode, that's indeed boring.
I wish to have the patience and excitement about something to build like this. I admire people like this youtuber.
And what would that different browser be? Aside from Firefox, which has become essentially unusable to me.
Ah, I understand. thanks for the clarification :)

(Unity do have animations tools for artists (it is partly made for artists) but not so good for vector graphics and not close to flash, and definitely not back then.)
China has 4x the population of the US. Abandoning zero COVID as a policy would lead to millions of deaths. How can you call SinoVax a failure when all of the non-mRNA vaccines perform similarly? The US has more COVID deaths than China has had cases. That's shameful, especially when the US sat on enough mRNA vaccines to completely immunize our population 9x over. Countries like Argentina that were guinea pigs for the Pfizer, Moderna, J&J vaccines couldn't get enough access because IP law is more important than stopping a global pandemic that disrupts manufacturing.

Countries like China and Cuba had to manufacture their own vaccines without the new mRNA process and it was less effective as a result but still better than nothing. Cuba even had to get permission from the US to import syringes to be able to administer the vaccine they manufactured. How is that defensible?

All of this without even saying that the CPC has an incredibly high approval rating (https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/07/long-term-sur...), even when the polling is done by outside entities and anonymized. It seems incredibly condescending to treat a billion+ humans as inept drones under the iron grip of a tyrant simply because they're geopolitical rivals.
That would be a great idea! That's the perfect use for the "spreadsheet implemented in Browser" submissions we have seen over the years!
I don't think expansions would solve this.

What the world needs is random NPC events and non-quest things to find in the world.

- Overhear conversations about someone going to do a clandestine deal, then rob that person and the person they are trading with for way more money than a typical NPC and a neat item.

- Random gang-v-gang or gang-v-police turf war battles should pop up. NPC's should notice when you're 'helping' and not attack you.

- NPCs should occasionally try to rob you or sell you sketchy stuff.

- NPC should be doing interesting things, but all their animations are just 'walk around' or 'standing still'. You should be able to follow an NPC to get a peek at their life so they don't seem like arbitrary robots.

- Hidden caches with actually-useful or amusing items to encourage exploration

- Build out spaces that aren't used in quests, so exploring doesn't feel like you've just given yourself spoilers.
Saint is more or less the same as holy, just used as a title. It comes from Old French saint, seinte "holy, pious, devout," from Latin sanctus "holy, consecrated"
On the contrary, I just wouldn't experiment with it.

Experiments get left on, subscriptions get left lying around, people leave, documentation doesn't get written for early prototypes, and so they end up costing a lot of money. $25/mo isn't a lot, but finding out 4 years later that it's still going after that week you were interested in Haskell is an expensive mistake.

In small companies the processes for getting sign off for these sorts of expenditures are often not developed enough, and so doing it is a pain for an experiment. In big companies it's easier in some ways but might come with more box ticking necessary to get it to happen, or more business justification.
> How we got there, I don't care.

Well that is a good way of ensuring that the same class of problems will endlessly reappear, while also providing a broken utilitarian end-justifies-the-means rationale that is certain to be abused.

> The standards are important, but they're ultimately there to provide a nice UX and that's it.

No, standards are there to make interoperability possible, which overcomes the hazards of market network effect, leveling the field for more competing solutions, thus yielding a better <insert literally anything in the whole world, including UX>.
There isn't a difficulty "slider" or "setting" in elden ring. You can approach the game from different styles/strategies that may result in it being easier or harder though.
The U.S. does it too is not a reason to dismiss the claims brought by these type of posts.
This is basically a meme at this point, but why would you buy a game before its launch? It's not like Steam is going to run out of downloads.

I think there would be a lot less toxicity and all of us would be better off if gamers stopped taking developer plans as gospel and 'promises'. Plans change. Scope changes. Specification changes.
I'm wondering if it'll make for a good case study for cross-media tie-in material actually helping the main product. Pretty sure anime for non-anime usually ends up bad, and even when they are good I don't think they really make much of a difference (Matrix Reloaded didn't need the Animatrix to be a box office success).
> Late in its life, full-Flash sites were the only ones that I had to sit and watch a progress bar to load… regular HTML/CSS/JS sites, especially with an adblocker, loaded instantly.

Well...yeah. Flash sites usually make use of graphics, fonts and videos, all of which use bandwidth. They serve an entirely different purpose than regular HTML/CSS/JS pages.

Flash loaded everything at once, so that the experience was instantaneous and fluid, once it loaded. It would continue to work if you disconnected. There wouldn't be any buffering or lag due to network issues.
You can also get quality by... doing it yourself. That's the Free Software core idea. Don't like what exists? You're free to change it. In fact, you're encouraged to change it, and publish your changes, so others can use your higher-quality version.

It's supposed to be a gift economy, not a plunder economy. You're given something for free, with little to no strings attached. All that is politely expected of you is to A) not be a dick, and B) reciprocate in kind, if the situation arises.
That is a problem partly because also wages are not rising to keep up with inflation.
The fact that racist comments like the grandparent are getting a pass here on HN is sickening. "They are not the same because they aren't white and christian". My comment that yemeni and ukrainian lives are of equal value got downvoted. I even here these sorts of comments from close friends. "We should care about Ukraine because they are 'like us'". WTF do you mean "like us"? I have more relatives near Yemen than Ukraine. People bleed and suffer everywhere.
I just started playing it this weekend, and am shocked at how good the game actually is. Due to the initial negative feedback I didn't go in expecting cyber-GTA, and frankly that's made a huge difference.

Go in expecting a good story in an open world and you'll have a lovely time.
Redesigning iPhone to be repairable means that Apple can have a higher tolerance for part failure. That in turn means that they can reduce quality controls and put cheaper parts into their phones. It probably pays for itself
Google and Facebook would LOVE to have TikTok banned because TikTok is eating their lunch right now, attracting advertising money at a rate that is an existential threat to them both.
Why does the mask need to be binary?

Surely it's possible to have a full alpha mask, such that 50% alpha means "push the diffusion process towards this value, but don't force it to generate this value".
I'm in a hackathon group with a few people locally and a few people from HN. We hang out on Discord and at my house. Though some of us have never met in person. Does that count?
> But the "so big it can strongarm suppliers into pricing" is not value added - it's value taken from someone else.

It’s money taken, not value. And giving you the customer the ability to buy something cheaper is value (for you, at least).
I think those ethical concerns are very real. It's just inevitable that this technology will be used for nefarious purposes. But withholding access to the tech, can't do anything to avoid the inevitable.
presuming that the cheater communicates with the system through some form of physical pressure, they could probably use a modified Morse code re-optimised for the frequency of letters in chess notation. according to wikipedia[1] this already exists and was developed for telegraph and radio transmission of chess games, although I have no idea how well optimised it is

Do any tech co-founders on here have experience/example comp structures suitable for joining an early stage project?

I want to build their product but they haven't got funding yet.

Unsure how common it is to take just stock/a mix/an agreed cash payment once funding happens etc.

Considering spending 20 hrs per week one of two chosen projects to spread my risk pre-funding, unsure if this is acceptable either, though.
Err.. did you just look at your taxes and think, "this must be that student loan forgiveness!!"?

Student loan forgiveness is not being "paid for", because no money is changing hands. It is debt that is being forgiven. The government is not paying money out for this, because it is already spent.

Your taxes keep going up because you are making more money. It's not a bad problem to have.
I'm not opposed to paying taxes to help out people in need. But in California, much of that tax revenue ends up in the "homeless industrial complex" filled with bureaucrats, consultants, vendors, and non-profit employees who have a direct financial incentive to perpetuate the problem rather than solving it. Some are also pushing leftist political ideologies which directly cause more homelessness when put into practice.

I don't mean to paint with too broad a brush here. Most people working to aid the homeless are sincere and trying to make a positive influence. But there is a huge amount of waste, and taxpayers are right to be skeptical about where their money is going.
People, please don't post things in medium, because it wants people to sign up. Use GitHub pages or anything else really.
Those first 15 hours or so were amazing - the rest of it less so but still great. If they had just kept up the prequel level of storytelling it would have been mindblowing. Still a great game.
The same happens with digital art and NFT. Hundreds, maybe thousands of people will 'like' or re-share a tweet or Instagram post without realizing the artist is selling it as a NFT. The audience just appreciates it, without thinking or caring about its dollar value. For a concrete example see[1] which is also a NFT[2]. Same with digital art in physical setting, such as Anadol's work which many audiences will not realize is NFT based[3].

There is "art" and there is "art market." If you look at NFT and only see a market, you will only find speculation. If you look at the "art" part, it turns out a lot of people just appreciate the work itself.

I have received this comment a few times in my career, "why don't you ask for help more"?

Usually there is a simple reason: I am not having the same problem for very long, but whenever things are going smoothly they get done very quickly. The other, very common reason is that in the process of gathering the information I need to ask the correct question, the answer usually presents itself.

The final reason is force of habit. I went through a school system where the teachers spend all of class, apart from presenting the material, helping the weak students keep up.
I don't really understand why not doing it to US citizens makes it ok. I can imagine one would find it permissible to use such techniques against your enemies, but this is very clearly also about your allies.

To the US, American lives are all that really matter? I mean, there's also the policy that torture is ok but not against Americans and not on US territory, hence the secret CIA torture spaces during the Gulf War and guantonomo bay (simplifying a bit here). Isn't that obviously wrong?

How can one maintain that their country is the greatest with such dubious ethics? I mean specifically using the argument 'doing objectionable things only to non US citizens' as part of the case for America's greatness seems...odd at best. I feel like I'm missing something here. A cultural gap maybe. Or is American superiority deemed so self evident that it legitimates itself in a circular justification?

I don't want to sound combative, though I probably do, but really I want to understand how this works for Americans.
I tried with these pretrained embeddings, but haven't gotten them to run in inference locally without crashing yet.

They gave him three machines to use for replacing his battery.

1. A machine to melt the glue holding the battery in place

2. A machine to apply even pressure to the new battery to ensure it’s properly adhered

3. A machine to apply heat and even pressure to the entire phone to properly give the phone with a watertight seal.

That seems like exactly what I’d expect has to happen to repair the phone back to original spec. I’m actually impressed that Apple gives this out to consumers to use.
Adobe Flash died before becoming a forever-subscription product.

In that spirit, I use Tumult Hype, which truly is Flash, and can be acquired without a pesky subscription.
Your claim is that you suffer a _40 to 60_% performance impact by using Firefox from Chrome? Would you like to try that again? I see egregious comments like this of Firefox every so often and I always have to wonder if the last time people making these remarks actually used Firefox was in the pre-Quantum era (assuming one charitable interpretation). To claim that its performance is equivalent to using Chrome on a CPU from 2013 is disingenuous at best.

Firefox is not just perceived as 'counter-cultural', its importance lies in the fact that not using Chrome and similar browsers is also a vote not to support a browser monoculture online.

Only relatively recently did someone pay money to prove that yes, in fact, circumcision hurts. Before that the 'common wisdom' was that babies don't process pain. Said no parent, ever.

There's a lot of patronizing that goes on in organized medicine/psychology, and juvenile medicine seems to get a double helping of it.
Thanks for the tip! Interestingly, I found it weird how the app handles order-of-operations.

That is, if you type 1 + 2 / 2, the answer shows up as 2 and the paper tape shows

1 + 2 / 2
= 2

However, if you type 1 + 2 = / 2 (that is, you type equals after the 1 + 2, which will show 3 on the screen, before typing the / 2 part), the last line of the paper type shows

1 + 2 / 2
= 1.5

They need to add some parentheses in there.

There never was a treaty (not even an informal one!).

In businesses, the reason why open source software was adopted was typically because it enabled cost savings (e.g. saving/reducing license costs).
