I'm not trying to blame users, I'm saying, regardless of what started the conversation (I could care less about this design), that people should perhaps stop maximizing everything on large displays, if that's something they do, as it may be counterproductive.

As for websites providing a singular column view, and sized specifically, there are a lot of reasons for that, and there are also reasons why a multi-column view makes little sense (which of the possible ways does scrolling work if the content can't fit on the screen?). Multiple text columns worked for print media because they had a fixed format, and were also size constrained in pages, meaning they were heavily incentivized to put as much on a page as they could. Text books often have some similar constraints (because there's so much information contained), so rather than 700 smaller pages, they use less pages but multiple columns, but even then they often try to break it up with images and diagrams so it's less common. Recreational reading is probably the closest to the optimal form of comfortably reading, and that uses smaller format singular column pages.

That's not going to translate exactly to the web, but something that is taken into account is that longer line sizes make for things harder to read. With a maximum number of characters in a line size, to fill a window your choices are to either leave white space or use larger characters unless we want multiple columns, but those are harder to read and follow as well. Larger characters will result in less information on the screen at a time, and above a certain size is probably only minimally better than smaller characters, so what we commonly have is white space, for numerous reasons.

There are many good reasons to have a singular column of specific size. People complaining about all the unused space when they can easily rectify that by zooming or resizing is silly, given all the other constraints that make that format optimal.
Never underestimate the lure of appearing in the know. Tons of people met their downfall through babbling about their damaging secrets.
I tried to google it, but on hn there wasn't much discussion about it. 13 years ago.

This is what the internet has ALWAYS been at least since the early 1990s.
The page is ambiguous, but I’m fairly confident they’re not saying the 2nd wave ended in the 4th century A.D.
Just as deep sea pipelines can be blown up, so submarine communication cables can be cut just as easily. This can have devastating effects on the knowledge economy, remote working, WFH, so very relevant for HN.
Sounds to me like subsidizing old growth logging. More of those trees would have stayed in the ground if someone wasn’t buying 11% of the logs they cut to burn.
That might be true if they weren't also the card issuer[0]. The main way they make money is on interchange, which for a card issuer is a kickback of up to 2% from Visa/Mastercard/etc [1].

>It's mostly about hiding the fact that the same person, you, are paying to merchant A and merchant B.

What merchants out there are cross-correlating credit card numbers to deanonymize people? Can you even do it in a way that's PCI compliant? If you're actually interested in preventing random merchants from tracking you, I think credit card numbers are the least of your worries. Your billing/shipping information, which is almost always collected is much more revealing about you and can't be anonymized. Given this I do think the name of "privacy".com is misleading. At best it's stopunauthorizedcharges.com.
Interesting - I noticed that the edges of some new knives that are very sharp don't feel or look smooth. I usually sharpen my kitchen knives on a standard stone and get them very smooth, which I like aesthetically but probably not the most efficient for, say, cutting tomatoes.
> most people don't actively have any way to meet single people their age

This is absolutely true. The best we've got right now is bars & clubs, and in those environments, there's no preselection for the type of person you'd want a meaningful relationship with.

Case in point: I met my wife at church. Going in the door, it was predetermined that we would share a common set of values.

Ask HN: Is GraphQL the New Blockchain?
I just looked up some GraphQL startups funding on Crunchbase

- Apollo GraphQL: $183.2M

- Hasura: $136.5M

- The Guild: $48M

Can't believe the numbers. Is the problem they are solving really that big? What’s the investor’s motivation?

Oof, that's very sad, even more so because it's a lifetime achievement for the fan.
It's ironic that we're on a programming forum but doing a worst-case analysis of your proposed policy is verboten.

This is probably my biggest problem. I can go out, and women will even approach me and flirt, at least until they realize they have some years on me…
I think the revolutionary aspect of a rotation detonation engine is the "rotation" (i.e. continuous) part, not the "detonation" part. IMO, it is pretty novel.
In theory, this is about recommendations, not just messages. They claim Google did more than just carry the messages, but promotes them.

I imagine what the court "wants" is for the tech companies to stop making any judgment calls about messages -- which will probably kill the whole business model that relies on trying to engage you. (Among other things, "this is spam" is a judgment call, and we all know what happens without spam filters.)

That's terrifying.

I'm looking into privacy.com as an alternative to using my real debit card number online because it gets stolen at least once a year. Having my bank account itself compromised does not sound like an improvement. Then again, how often do banks get hacked and have their credentials compromised? At least as often.
my model of democracy isnt that it gets the good people in, just that it cycles out the people that have had their day.

from my experience, a government does most of its good work in its first term. then it slowly slides until its doing active harm. from a uk perspective the tories recent (not a) budget pouring the currency down the drain. or gordon brown announcing the end of boom and bust, are 2 nice examples. this kind of hubris only comes after a decade or so in power. then its time to vote the other lot in.

I’m guessing they have a low Elo score, and are matching with other low Elo scores. I believe best thing to do is delete the account and create a new one to reset your score.
Plenty of folks use WMs like Sway that don't use GTK or QT and everything is fine. You just pick a theme and it gets passed to GTK and QT apps. I guess if you show decorations, they differ between apps, but it's really not terrible. I think we're all used to that by now, on every OS.
Most online dating apps are owned by the same company, Match Group. There's also Bumble but Bumble put predation on steroids, imo, and gave it a very homely facade. I would get few matches on any stock experience, which on each service encourages you to pay. Paying has no guarantee of success, or a refund when faced with absolute failure, so if you spend money on superlikes (or whatever feature) if it doesn't work or some person is having a wine night and uses that opportunity to make fun of you there's no getting that money back. Once you follow the incentivized spending plan the app is somewhat useful but more gimmicky than anything.

The problem is that men have been griping in public and private about this for years but they're continually shrugged off or made fun of for doing so. Some gripes are obviously unhinged, but I don't think there's even a shred of empathy for this problem even without those unhinged folks. This business model is absolutely normalized.
A rose is the same as buying a drink. All it communicates is "I don't think I have anything else going for me, so I spent money to get you to notice me."
Writing or 'stabbing the page with ink' is great and thaws out the ice in your soul, which we all have from time to time. It's ironic and meta that this is a blogpost expressing various feelings, on a matter related to unexpressed emotions. This is why I blog. I feel vulnerable doing so, but my thoughts are not so bottled up. Then I can say: 'I've expressed that already', albeit through a poor channel of a blog, but it's still out there. If it helped at least one person, I've done my job.
It’s back to the fifties, just with much less resources.
Great question, this is essentially trying to solve the trilemma of creators: building reach by cracking algos, retaining relavence in ever changing content formats and monetization (ads or otherwise)

Drawing an analogy from movies where MCU gets made for theatre format and smaller independent movie for OTT format, creators would also need to diverge in their engagement and monetization paths.

Someone like Joe Rogan may build large audience in big platform to build different monetization model whereas a creator creating content for D&D enthusiasts would depend on building strong community driven monetization model.

My bet is that most of the creators would fall in the latter category who are trying to force fit their content to be relevant on larger platforms which is sub-optimal. As long as they get a chance to bring audience out of the bigger platforms to engage their audience in a format of their liking & create an experience for them, they stand a better chance of monetization.

That is the bet I have taken in my start-up. The idea is to create an ecosystem of tools that help content creators engage with their smaller set of audience who are willing to pay for the content. Keep the whole experience as seamless as possible to make the experience exceptional.

This still does not solve for the discoverability problem for which they have to still rely on larger platforms. The idea is to give as many tools as possible to help creators once they have identified audience who are willing to pay the creator and give them a better fighting chance.

My 2 cents on this.

Your solo anecdote does not weight up against the hordes of counterexamples.

Additionally, age plays a huge factor. None of the comments have mentioned age so far.
> The article says that they only burned waste from logging process. This might be unclear, because the article is written in a (probably purposefully) confusing way, but they very much did not cut and ground up massive old growth timber for pellets.

The article tells you what Drax claims, and then it explains the reality their investigators found, repeatedly contrasting what Drax says, then what they proved, then what Drax said about that, back and forth showing what desperate liars they are.

> Reporter Joe Crowley also followed a truck from a Drax mill to verify it was picking up whole logs from an area of precious forest

Drax tried insisting those weren't Drax trucks, it told the BBC third parties do the logging. This wasn't true, it's a matter of public record. So then Drax said ah, OK, well we do turn some logs into pellets, but only if there's a problem with them. Reporters showed it's whole forests. Drax said, ah, well those forests were the wrong sort of woood.

whole forests are waste according to Drax

> Drax later admitted that it did use logs from the forest to make wood pellets. The company said they were species the timber industry did not want, and they would often be burned anyway to reduce wildfire risks.
Conventional farming methods are responsible for increasing the average global lifespan by almost 20 years.

Organic produce is a luxury item for high-income citizens of developed countries.

Purely considering the elemental nitrogen required for supplying the global demand of calories, we currently have no viable system for eating all organic. The intensive nature of organic farming would require most city-dwellers to return to the fields, and we would still come up short by about half of the world's required calories. Please don't respond with an article about regenerative ag unless it truly addresses the process of implementation and realistic supply of calories.

This is a nuanced and complex subject. Our food system is dysfunctional and requires systemic change, but all organic farming is likely not the answer.
Throughout my career I've spent a lot of time stressing out about how productive I'm being. Trying many different methods. Finally I decided that if I feel stressed out about my productivity I would write down everything I've done during the day. Usually turns out I've done a lot of stuff that I it's actual work that I just discount as not work. Some days get taken over by mandatory work that doesn't feel productive but is.
Welcome to the world today.
In general, I find myself to be someone who operates best within certain confines - for example, the time blocking from Cal Newport has been highly effective for myself.

That said, I caution against too much routine. I used to get really into it but remember many days where I felt like the day was ruined because I couldn’t get a workout in, or someone scheduled an 8am meeting, or any other myriad of things I grew dependent on. Too much structure is basically a fragile crutch, in my experience.

My personal morning “routine” is a quick cup of coffee and a half mile walk, and then straight to work. I time block the day first thing based on whatever my weekly goals for the week were, and try to keep about two hours of buffer time to allow some shifting throughout the day.

I’ve done this about a year now and it’s helped me keep the benefits of structure, without the guilt of when something “optimal” doesn’t happen.
Hi Micheal,

I admire what you did, seriously. But here us the "but"...

In no way am I understating the difficulty of what you have to go though. I am disabled myself and you should celebrate your success widely in t his forum.

However, you lost me when you said:

>Also, I would like to encourage disabled people, older people to escape your comfort zone and make changes in the world.

When you say that things like that you lump all disabilities into one amorphous blob and it actually harms the disabled community. That and your whole story is known as "Disability Porn".

Not all of us have disabilities that are constant and predictable. I was making six digits working at Cisco Systems and idea that I should struggle through it all for some notion of success almost killed me. I have Schizoaffective Bipolar Disorder. It is not predictable and it is way more stigmatized. Plus it get worse when you are under stress. I know you can appreciate that as the owner of a startup.

So people will read your story, then they ask me what I do and when I am disabled they say a lot of stupid sht like; "Why don't you get a part time job?" Or "You are so intelligent, can't you get an online job?" All because they heard some guy who was disabled by polio did a startup up, or a man with no legs climbed Mount Everest.

The part about telling us to "escape our comfort zone" was demeaning as well. In the U.S., many disabled people are forcefully pushed out of our comfort zones. I am currently homeless livening on disability as inflation makes me more and more uncomfortable.

This is not to say I do not keep trying. I have taught my self Genetics, Nutritional Biology, amount other health related sciences in hope to keep me alive with this genetic disorder. But there were times when the effort involved to merely brush my teeth was all the success I could muster.

I am glad for you, really, but I had to say all this if not for anyone here, just for myself.
Agree, it is much slower.

I would be interesting to see a comparison between a full recompiled version running on top of a wasm runtime vs some container solution but seems they found a lot of problems recompiling it.

Totally fair, I was just replying to the notion that she'd made more from the scam then she paid in fines.
While this is technically renewable energy, it involves huge amounts of non-renewable energy to turn carbon sequestering forest into energy. It must be logged, shipped, processed into wood pellets, and then energy to ship that to a port and across the ocean to the UK and then to the power plant. That's largely all diesel fuel of some variety. The power company is able to completely ignore the carbon cost there and even get 6 million pounds of carbon credits for being a good little world citizen. It makes no sense. I hope this kind of insane green washing gets shutdown before it causes widespread harm in other countries.
> Non-EV owners seem to be under the impression that DC fast charging has not been invented yet.

Yup, there's a dead comment [0] about having to "wait hours", which is just flat-out incorrect.

On a road trip, I find that every 150 miles of driving takes 10-20 minutes to charge, depending on how low I let my battery get. Charging from 10% to 60% is faster than 30% to 80%, but planning to arrive with 30% gives peace of mind.

>And I’ve heard reports in Mexico that pharmacy drugs have had it as well.

Okay, in that case though, that's purely a Mexico failing to regulate problem. FDA requires audits, certs, testing, and tracking of all stages of drug production and delivery specifically so that tainted or contaminated batches can have things like recalls or advisories released about them.

I'd be interested to know more about the producers of the pharmaceuticals in question, or whether compounding pharmacies are unable to sufficiently control their environment given the potency of fentanyl such that what little contamination is making it past their attempts to prevent cross contamination are leading to lethal complications.

It can be handled. Whether or not you enforce the requirements for it to be handled is a political question.
