Congrats on launching. No doubt a lot of hard work led to this point and I have tremendous respect for the resolve that it takes to go from idea to a launched product. Sharing some feedback:

- I noticed in the demo video that engineers are effectively just repeating what they previously wrote in the tool before the meeting. So where is the time saving? If anything I am seeing time added not saved.

- One of the benefits (for me) of walking through the board during standup, is that I ensure all tickets exist and are properly updated to reflect current status. This reinforces the message that Jira (in our case) is the source of truth. My concern is that introducing another tool risks muddying the waters concerning where source of truth lays.

- Standups usually result in parking lot items for a subset of the team, but seldom is the entire team needed. I think you could improve "team topics" by changing it to "parking lot" and allowing people to +1 their involvement. From this new conversations (chat or video) could later spin off to close out a parking lot item.

Best of luck with the future of your product. I have no doubt that some teams will find it useful.
If we're listing pet peeves, there's an infuriating one that Microsoft steadfastly refuses to fix: MFA re-authentication prompts that often occur in a middle of a meeting.

Recently I was presenting to 30+ senior staff, and in the middle of my sentence Microsoft Teams decided to shove its virtual hand in my face and prompt me to AUTHENTICATE RIGHT NOW. Not after the meeting, not in idle time, no sir! Right now. This instant. Or your presentation to the CxOs is over, you hear me? Got it?

Show HN: Copy link to highlight alternative for Chrome with multiple highlights
Hi HN! I made a Chrome extension called Save Link to Highlight. It makes it easy to share multiple highlights on a page without any hassles.

It uses the same built-in technology in Chrome as Copy link to highlight. So, the link you share will highlight text on a page in most browsers without 3rd party tools.
Ex. https://tinyurl.com/multiple-highlights

It's free! No account or signup needed.

Some everyday use cases

• Share an article with a friend that also has the parts you found most interesting highlighted.

• A teacher can share key points they highlighted for students on a Wikipedia page.
You keep piling more and more unrelated things onto a very simple concept. "Free as in beer" literally talks just about the cost of distributed software. That's it.

Your attempt to somehow conflate it with someone's business models are laughable at best. All software comes with strings attached. And the biggest one is: even people who distribute software for free still have a business to run and mouths to feed.
Is that a reasonable conclusion? Is it better to have a population of 8 billion or a population of 8 trillion where on average everyone is 1/1000 as happy? Is happiness even something where it makes more sense to measure a total rather than an average? If we value high speed in the 100m sprint, should we add more runners to ensure a higher total speed?
It was mildly annoying that they dropped the ads, but kept the breaks, just showing a card saying ’no ads here’ for several minutes at a time. I guess they went for the minimal effort approach to maintain timings.
Those bad things you concluded are mostly sourced from Ukrainian MoD. Winter is coming. Mother of all recession is coming to EU and America within nezt 2-3mths. Putin is preparing for overwhelming offensive (read up WW2 Russians modus operandi and you'll understand what Putin is thinking). Chinese side has been pumping resources like manpower and factories to Putin (in return for the EU portion of energy redirected to China). Heck even financial flows as well. You are looking at extremely well play chess moves. Hard to say for that for Americans...really pathetic seeing after 20 years gotten humiliated by a bunch of goat herders. Gotten kicked out of Iraq. If you have relatives toured in those failed wars you will know the casualty count were grossly understated. The only things I'm worried is USA launching nukes (US is the only country in the world ever to use nuke against others). I'm less worried about Putin. He moved very rationally. Once those regions declared joining Russia, any offensive from Ukraine will be deemed as invading Russia. This easily can justify huge number of military response with huge Russian public backing (despite what you read in the west, I suggest you try Russian soirces or friends...you'll be very surprised how different reality over there to what you thought).
Ah yes, I remember the bulge! I had one with that until getting a Japanese one which had the “gum stick” sized rechargeable battery which eliminated that and say flat.
For me Ender's game was completely ruined when I learned about the controversy around the author, because to me, homophobia goes completely against the message of the books. So it no longer works for me.
Can't repro this on my end to be fair.
I did this but a kind of showstopper was the fully opened aperture in liveview mode that lead to a very shallow depth of field. With my 30mm lens we are talking about centimeters (inches). I never figured a way around this.
You can build arbitrary conditions (the example given is `file_exists`) that can run whatever code and only need to return True or False.

If you can write the condition in English, it would seem to me you can build a custom Rocketry condition to suit it.
Boston had a Community Solar System Trail, where both the size of the planets and the distance between them were to the same scale. The sun was 11.6 ft at the Museum of Science. Mercury and Venus were in the building. Mars was in the Cambridgeside Galleria, a few blocks away. Uranus was in a different neighborhood, Jamaica Plain.

It was featured on an episode of the kids TV show Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman.
This. No app should be futching with the text I select to copy. It's like those damn websites who use JS to add crap to text copied from their pages.
Those are pretty good points, thanks.
Roskomnadzor: Russia's vast surveillance and censorship apparatus
How is it possible for two non-Iranians (in a geographic/telecom sense, not ethnic sense) to lose the connection on WhatsApp due to Iranian government? Surely the blocklist isn't implemented inside Facebook, it must be based on cellphone carrier.

Edit:

And this is what NeXTStep/macOS has done for 30 years. Well you could also ship common Frameworks but they all have a version number so should not cause a problem if different apps need different versions of a library.

The AppStore or using a library like Sparkle will update when the developer finds an issue or security issue with a dependency.

The advantage here is that the OS knows about bundles and so gives an organisation above the file. Anything in that bundle should not be used by anything else. I suspect this is what using containers gives Linux

Alternative do as work did 30 years ago - explicitly link to a versioned number of a library. OK then you need to identify which apps use a particular library that needs to be updated for security reasons.
It's not surprising. Amazon is an amazing customer focus company. Google is a spyware company that only wants to make more by invading our privacy. Of course Amazon products will be better than Google.

I agree with the sentiment but truthfully raising rates affects government borrowing the same way that low rates allow government to borrow more.
I don't know - the issue wasn't the laws in my case. It was that I opened my local PSN page, clicked "get support" and it somehow connected me with UK support chat. Which then, after 45 minutes of waiting, just told me that I need to try again on my local support page with no helpful link. Back in line for me it was. I never noticed at which point exactly did the PSN page redirect me to UK page...
I would love to hear what the authors of this paper think about permaculture; not the woo-woo hippie stereotype of permaculture that is so prevalent ("herb spirals", cob ovens, etc), but rather the specific principles and methods outlined in Permaculture: A Designers' Manual (Mollison, 1988). After reading their article , especially the points on creating actionable solutions, I would think they would readily embrace the framework created by permaculture.
Personally, it would take strong legislation preventing any variation of law enforcement having any access to any of the data, even that of convicted criminals, to make me comfortable to provide mine into the system. Perhaps even constitutional change prohibiting it. Currently, home affairs could feasibly access any data in just about anything the government does with barely a sign-off which I’m not comfortable with.

Our laws protecting us from the government are way too weak for systems like this to take off. Also we keep hiring contractors who do a fairly poor job building the things in the first place.
I'm using teams on macbook (teams have been a default communication channel of client i'm working with). It's truly terrible. Thing I hate about it the most is that it is absolutely not working well with other OS features. In example, when I do development I like to put on a 'focus' mode. Every other notification would go to the notifications bar without bothering me, but NOT TEAMS, it would stick itself out and bang my ears with a notification sound just like it would with a hammer. Once you try something great (slack) you don't want to go back.
If this is actually "good" or even acceptable French Canadian, then it's a different language from French (and the blog post should mention it).

I kind of doubt it though -- the speaker doesn't have a Canadian accent (which is hard to miss), and in my (admittedly limited) experience, French Canadian isn't that different from French.
Delivery doesn't have to change qualitative features to shift tripmaking demand, it just has to become relatively cheaper and faster, which AV does promise. "The cheaper it is, the more we use it" is a basic outcome of supply and demand.

If a restaurant can run delivery bots at a low enough operating cost, they can offer free neighborhood delivery. Who would make a trip to pick up an order, given that?
> The suit further alleges that Facebook opens web links in its own in-app browser, rather than using Safari or whatever the user's default browser is.

Presumably this is the only way they can inject JavaScript into websites visited by users?

Apps using in-app browsers for anything other than parts of their own functionality (for example showing a page from their website) without an easy to use "Open in Browser" button are really showing contempt for their users in an attempt to keep people in their App.

I've even seem some webpages opened from ads in Instagram not working and they can't be reloaded

> So no, in my opinion 20x EV/sales isn't that crazy for a good SaaS company.

I agree but with the specification that the only way to get that "good SaaS company" multiple now from an acquisition is with the stick rather than the carrot.

What I mean by "stick" that is the target (e.g. Figma) needs to be a active threat to the acquirer's (e.g. Adobe's) business -- as opposed to the "carrot" wherein the target (e.g. any AI-first company making interesting pictures) has a valuation driven by narrative ("humans will prefer AI-generated content over celebrity-generated content).

Acquirers have more leverage on price now.
That is the entire value dynamic linking and a stable ABI and API provide me. The ability to seamlessly replace an updated dependency by restarting an application and loading the library.

If I'm just going to completely rebuild the app and all of it's dependencies I may as well statically link them and get the unique optimizations we can do after link time by analyzing the resulting executable.
Opinions from experts indeed are not news. But news without comments are a useful thing, I love the news24 channels, but without opinions. I’m able to make my opinion by myself or I listen some specific channels/programs/podcasts.
It was easy to copy them onto blank minidiscs (with track marks and titles) when CD+minidisc units became available, I don't know far into the lifespan of the format that was though.
Repairability and reusability precede recyclability in effectiveness. Anything you can take to a shop to swap a broken part, or list on a secondary market as a "fixer upper phone" beat out whatever Apple's internal recycling process does.
To be honest, it's not really about Linux and reloading kernel modules. Fairly early on in the pandemic, I setup my Canon EOS as a webcam on my Mac. I immediately had a problem with an agency trying to record video of me with that setup. And it was generally a certain hassle to turn the camera on, get it focused properly (older model that doesn't continuously keep focus on video), etc.

I went back to just using my Logitech 920. People probably can't mostly tell the difference given regular network glitches and so forth.

> this is an OS that just runs a web browser

> You need a Google account to log in

These two sentences are contradictory, aren't they? You do not need a google account to run a web browser.

If it really was an OS that "just" ran a web browser, you would be able to run said browser without being forced to use a google account that spies on your web browsing behavior.
This is not as obvious as you may think. This is closely related to the "monkey selfies" copyright claim issues. The court didn't seem to agree with the photographer who said "I own the copyright of those pictures because I configured the camera by myself and put it there, the monkey only pushed the button."
I think this:

> And Teams performs by far the worst at that 90%.

is exactly the reason for:

> the amount of needless interaction with other people decreased.

Simply put: nobody wants to touch teams, so they only do this when absolutely necessary (and even then chances are they will just send an email).
Actually, the median income per person is higher in most of the EU than it is in the US. No tweaking needed.
The Warren Buffet story bothers me a bit, especially since him and his pal Munger are cited all the time in HN-approved material. He's definitely one of the richest men in history, and his ability to achieve that is worthy of respect. I won't pretend that I don't want to be wealthy. But at the end of the day it's a person whose contribution is to just buy things at the right time instead of making anything. He is set to spend much of that in charitable endeavors but it begs the question of how individuals can get so massively wealthy and powerful to begin with a.k.a the Batman syndrome pointing to a societal failure. He's had way more of a contribution that I have or ever will but at the same time I feel there is something clearly wrong here.
You've given platitudes with an overall misunderstanding of both the parent comment as well as a the functioning of the real world.

> I would rather the American people elect a government that will protect their rights through laws.

I would also like a world where problems don't exist, but that doesn't change the real world. It's a naive take. The world is complicated.

> Meta will not violate American law.

This is both demonstrably false and borderline meaningless.

False because they have and will, unless you're suggesting Meta/Facebook has NEVER broken a law. It's just a question of whether they got charged/sued for it.

It's meaningless because laws can be highly interpretable, unenforceable, impractical... and the playing field is constantly changing, so there's always a new opportunity for new types of violations.

That isn't to say laws are meaningless, obviously they are extremely necessary and must be enforced, but the public response to those ambiguous situations is what would help determine the next set of laws/norms.

> The idea that we rely on culture or corporate benevolence to maintain our freedoms...

Parent comment doesn't suggest this. "Corporate culture" has little to do with it. American culture is what would change, has changed, and is changing. When the tooling is developed to carry out efficient, sweeping censorship, it will be used. With more use, we become more comfortable with it and even see it as a necessary evil. Currently there is public outrage when a tech company censors information. How long will this remain interesting enough to draw our attention? TSA in airports after 9/11 is a good example of this.
Disclaimer: I'm a long time Linux user, libre software evangelist and all round sandal wearer.

When Teams first arrived, I was startled at how good it was. Great UI, good telephony and just did what it was meant to do. It worked well, and did what it said on the tin.

I've watched it turn to shit over the last two years. Every update made it slower, buggier and more annoying. Surreptitious updates made me miss meetings as the background service on Android was stopped and never restarted after the update.

What was once a pleasant surprise is now a horrific buggy PoS. Kill it with fire.
remember when Slack tried to file an antitrust complaint about these anti-competitive practices?

Yeah well somehow that got silenced real quick. Microsoft is evil under the surface, with extreme close ties to governments, regulators, ...
Don't you know that you're supposed to run Linux in WSL, and use teams outside the VM, in Windows? ;)
Indeed in most cases replacing simple code with GraphQL only adds complexity.

The old approach has been more like this:

[client] <- RESTful request -> [your API] <- Your data fetching logic -> [DB] <- SQL query (with parameters) -> [DB]

Replacing your data fetching logic with GraphQL just means translating your JS/Python to GraphQL - something that isn't as flexible, turing complete, or predictable (in execution).

If anything, I'd prefer to go the other way and get rid of SQL altogether - let me express queries in code:

books.filter(book => book.author === "Alice")
.group(book => book.year)
.map(group => group.reduce(({ sum = 0 }, { year, sales }) => ({ year: year, sales: sum + sales }), {}))
.sort((a, b) => b.year - a.year)

which translates to:

SELECT year, SUM(sales) FROM books WHERE author = 'Alice' GROUP BY year ORDER BY year DESC

but is far more composable, debuggable and potentially more deterministic - I'd like more control over query execution planner, not less.
Is there a reason they aren't making this change only for apps compiled with the latest SDK?
After looking again carefully, if I press the button on the left side, then the cursor jumps to the form in the right side. The problem is that it's not obvious and foolproof (at least for me). Perhaps you can make the field in the form on the right blink once or twice, or some similar animation to catch the user attention.
It looks like you stopped reading.

> Further exploration and improvements in extraction technology are likely to at least double this estimate over time

My point is that the article is tremendously lazy.
Got my deck on Monday. Valve just made me an Arch Linux user / console gamer with a handheld that can play my PC games. Oh, and my friends list, game library, and save files transfer over too. Steam wins and I'm a happier gamer for it.

On the contrary, it's the most important feature of distributions.
Famously the entire team working on the Windows 11 GUI uplift are Mac users. Explains a lot.
so far we have kept those same laws, so no, in principle nothing is stopping the UK from keeping them :)
This includes not wanting to support or do business with people who look the other way as people get slaughtered. I'm not in Iran, I'm dealing solely with things that enter my ken and therefore become subject to my judgement.

I can't go to a museum, admire the bravery of, say, Sophie Scholl, and then go "ah yes, but at the end of the day it's not really anyone's business", and you cannot both have the dignity of a person who accepts the responsibility they have just by virtue of being human and shut yourself off.

At the end of the day, it's just a rationalization for kicking away the ladder. You don't care what happens to them as long as it doesn't happen to you or people you love. That is what it is, and all it is.

Anyone who has studied aerospace engineering in the last couple of decades was taught that the economics of supersonic travel are unworkable in an environment where fossil fuel energy costs what it does and is on the way out altogether. I was hoping Boom had cracked some constraint in that equation.
I've touched Russell's history, but that was quite some time ago. I would recommend Adamson over Russell, if only for being more approachable. But in addition to that, Wikipedia's article on Russell's history mentions that it's quite polemic on the ancient philosophers. I do recall not being satisfied with Russell's treatment of the atomists (Democritus, etc.), so I've just had a look at it again:

Adamson contextualizes the atomists (who content that there are indivisible particles) as a reaction against Zeno and his paradox, which seems very plausible.

On the other hand, before he discusses how the atomists might be reacting to their forebears, Russell says

> The atomists, unlike Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, sought to explain the world without introducing the notion of purpose or final cause"

But what use is comparing the atomists against the later thinkers? Russell seems to have an interest in showing the superiority of a mechanistic view of the world.

> The atomists asked the mechanistic question, and gave a mechanistic answer. Their successors, until the Renaissance, were more interested in the teleological question, and thus led science up a blind alley.

> In regard to both questions alike, there is a limitation which is often ignored, both in popular thought and in philosophy. Neither question can be asked intelligibly about reality as a whole (including God), but only about parts of it. As regards the teleological explanation, it usually arrives, before long, at a Creator, or at least an Artificer, whose purposes are realized in the course of nature. But if a man is so obstinately teleological as to continue to ask what purpose is served by the Creator, it becomes obvious that his question is impious. It is, moreover, unmeaning, since, to make it significant, we should have to suppose the Creator created by some super-Creator whose purposes He served. The conception of purpose, therefore, is only applicable within reality, not to reality as a whole.

So you can see how Russell has as part of his aim trying to share his own views and judge these earlier thinkers with some hindsight. On the other hand, Adamson is primarily trying to interpret these authors and speculate and relate how they might have arrived at the conclusions they might have arrived at. I've not read Adamson beyond the Classical Philosophy volume, so I hope that the quality remains just as good.
