Perhaps you can outline the many times that Apple dropped support for something to move to something new?

Phones no longer have "dock connectors" do they? What about anyone who had a dock port?

Having an iPhone and android phones, Lightening is ANNOYING. Almost nothing uses it. I can charge my Kindle via USB-C, my headphones via USB-C but need an ancient lightening to charge my phone?

Lastly, can you outline what devices people have which are dependent on Lightning? AirPods? they could have been released with USB-C from the start, allowing Apple to move away from lightning.

Then any movement == any movement, by that logic. That's just the essence of politics.

Pro-gun does fit the comparison much better, because there are obvious industry profits behind the lobbies - at the cost of violence and death.
> But unless something has changed, as long as you keep that computer offline it will be able to play those videos in eternity.

I don't know if it ever was that way. If it was, something has changed.

During the early months of the pandemic, we carried a Mac mini around that had a ton of downloaded content, and spent a lot of time in places with no internet service. It needed to "re-bless" itself every so often (I don't remember how often - maybe once a month or twice a month - it wasn't very often).

Our solution was to carry it with us when we were near enough to a tower. Using a phone hotspot with just a single bar of bad service, the process took 10-15 seconds.

So as far as tech/media companies go, Apple is almost certainly the least bad option, by a wide margin. But it's not perfect ;)
> A bunch of politicians

*elected* politicians is the key. The member states voted them in, they have a democratic mandate. No one running these companies have anywhere near the same level of responsibility to people as someone that's actually elected.

This is just another regulation on that free market, decided for by democratically elected people and not by the companies choosing not to be regulated.
The customer is always right, or so they say. But it's the manufacturer who decides to package it in the same shape and color as popular FDA-approved medicines. And it's the retailer who decides to intermingle the different types of product on the same shelf. Practices which are sure to result in someone who intends to buy a familiar medicine to instead pick up the imitation and not realize they're getting something completely different.

An INSERT can consume less than one write unit, depending on how many rows and bytes it writes to how many partitions, columns, materialized views, data types, etc. So, a "write unit", which corresponds to hundreds of low-level write operations, typically translates to many batched INSERTS. We are working to improve our examples in the FAQ to clarify - thank you so much for asking the question!

> Changed several jobs, and in my hobbies, I am jumping from one project to another. [...] How do you find 1 thing you are really good at and stick with it?

For the vast majority of activities (especially those considered viable work), it will not be immediately obvious to you that you love it enough to stick. You must put an unspecified quantity of time and effort into it to figure out if it has legs... Also with these things you tend to be able to keep extracting and discovering new enjoyment from the activity as you get better - that is, if it's truly a good fit. Unfortunately it's not even this simple, because what you do is affected by context, i.e what you love and hate can be easily conflated with where or why or who you are doing it with, which is something else you come to appreciate over time.

I think this is the critical detail left out of the commonly given advice "find what you love to do"... you don't really "find" it, you have to develop it by trying different things enough to see which one sticks.

Digital Proudhonism (2018)
Repeatedly failing to solve a problem is not religious, it is perseverance. Trying the same over and over against is stupidity and insanity. You don’t seem to understand the fundamental reality that it is harder and more expensive to fix social problems than to do things fairly the first time. Half measures create more problems.

You’re ascribing motivations to me when you don’t understand the definitions of the words you use. I don’t want to make you feel bad, but you might be wise to look up some things before you speak about them.

White savior complex is used to describe people who try and solve problems for people they pity. I suspect you may treat empathy and sympathy as synonymsthey are not. I’m not trying to solve any problems for any groups I’m not part of. What I am is an ally who strives to understand the realities experienced by marginalized groups and I am willing to adjust my perspective toincorporate new (to me) information. I recognize that America only has democratic freedom for rich white men and that in order to make a freer society for all there need to be systemic changes and accountability for the consequences of this power structure must be had. By learning about the experiences of marginalized people I can incorporate their views into my mine and can in solidarity for the solutions these people demand.
In your mind, what would a search engine for paid courses look like?
The majority of the population seems to wrongly think that "homeopathic" simply means "natural".
That's a false equivalence though - it's well understood in this case that you bought the ticket not the performance, and that the ticket expires after one use. The same is not true of buying films, as it used to be possible to keep a physical copy (e.g. DVD) that no-one could take away from you, and that was recent enough that I think most people still (reasonably IMO) expect a perpetual license when 'buying' a movie.

We had a word in the olden days for buying a limited license to watch a film - we called it "renting".
Ugh, I got bit by this at Walgreens I think it was. Went to buy some zinc lozenges for a cold, didn't notice the tiny "homeopathic" text on the label, got lozenges made with ingredients that might have touched a zinc molecule once.
The reason why Apple still uses the Lightning port is because of regulation in the form of patents which give them a 20-year-monopoly on their plug design. Without the previous regulation there would be no need for this new regulation.
If you follow that chain of reasoning we might as well legalize meth and put that next to medicines as well. Also tinned food with poisons, or expired meat.

This is one of the huge problems with a laissez faire approach - people aren’t sophisticated on mass, don’t know the implications of their choices, and thus why wouldn’t we want regulation when helpful to prevent misguidance? The article cites a case where hundreds of toddlers were injured in a similar situation.

Not all of these products are pure placebo, and depending on what’s wrong with you, placebos can be dangerous. Imagine a placebo to take a fever down, for example, which turns out not to reduce a fever at all.
I attribute alot of my success in the professional/tech industry to MMOs. I started playing games like Asheron's Call, Everquest, and UO as young as 3rd grade. I helped organize pvp events, traded constantly, communicated on forums, participated in guild/clan events, recruited new members. Sounds silly and I can't really explain it but made me more resourceful, social, and generally comfortable in ambiguous situations.
I'm sorry, why are you using the term conspiracy theory as a slur, here?

Blowing up an underwater international gas pipeline requires planning. Doing so in such a way that the public doesn't know about it in advance requires secrecy. The public not knowing the reason for blowing it up also requires ongoing secrecy.

Admittedly, I'm not the smartest person in the world, but this seems like a fairly cut-and-dried conspiracy to me.
You seem to confirm that gun control is a relatively healthy political struggle between people who want more or less guns, while copyright enforcement is a struggle between greedy corporations and personal rights.
It's not "right" as in morally right; it's just slightly more convenient. Mandatory convenience. I personally don't understand people's passion for this cause. I'm ok with dichotomy and nuance in life. I'm learning that having two cables is a huge impediment to some people's lives. So be it.
Unfortunately, this case isn't about whether the police did something wrong, but about the principle of qualified immunity that the Supreme Court created, and has now become de facto law. The best outcome we're likely to get is that the court will rule that the police department's actions do not fall under qualified immunity, and the city's taxpayers will pay for the damages awarded.

I’m a little sad to see them embrace magic “insert unit” pricing, instead of taking the approach Altinity uses where you are renting an instance size that you can compare apples-to-apples with running your own cluster on ec2.
It absolutely does, because there’s a self-selection in being interested in an esoteric langage (assuming it’s not a corporate oddball or legacy langage) which raises the average above the background of targeting “employable” langages: people going through this process show more interest in the field.

Though that doesn’t mean they’ll be more productive, and then adds hiring challenges. So the break-even is not simple.

One of pg’s early essays was on exactly that subject (“the python paradox).
You are not alone in this confusion. I though "homeopathy" meant "medicine based on herbs" for a few decades, and I'm sure we are not alone, and this may explain why so many people buy products that are based on a mix of idiocy and nothingness.
That's cool, thanks
It's tanking around here. A large # of places went under last year, vacancies were through the roof for a long time. I've noticed about half of them are filled with new places now, but I doubt they will last long.
This is just a nature/nuture debate. Even if it's entirely nurture (which I doubt), you can't undo your childhood and cultural influences. There are meta-skills and interests you have which are effectively immutable.

Domain registrars go so far as to drop clients. See the DailyStormer as an example.

You could host via IP only and then control a separate, static domain that has your most recent IP. Not sure ISPs are allowed to drop customers for edgy chat. I would hope they are seen as a utility in that instance.
Ask HN: If web ad spend decreases a lot, how does the tech ecosystem change?
I've been reading many articles about how web advertising may not be all that is promised. A recent Wired article talked about how much of advertising is being served to bots[0], a looming recession is going to make big companies significantly reduce their advertising budgets[1], and some companies like Uber have pulled out of web advertising at all without seeing much of a decline. This has led me to think about how much of the entire tech industry is based on the assumption that user data and hyperpersonalized advertising is worth a lot of money - should this assumption stop being true, what parts of the tech industry as we know it would survive?

Immodium is one of my "always have it stocked" things now. A few years ago, I had a bad case of the runs where Friday was "ok, that's uncomfortable" and Friday night was "this isn't good". Saturday was "I don't have enough energy to be able to safely drive a few blocks and back." I was able to call up a relative and they got some and dropped it off at my house.

So that's always in my drug cabinet now so that I won't have that situation again.

The chemistry part of it is neat:

> It is an opioid with no significant absorption from the gut and does not cross the blood–brain barrier when used at normal doses.

The "morphine giving you constipation" thing... this is the same, except that's all it does.

I'll also note the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHO_Model_List_of_Essential_Me... - its under "Medicines for other common symptoms in palliative care" as Loperamide.
I'm very skeptical of homeopathy, and what you list here is a big part of why, but I will point out that it is not a scientific approach to rejecting homeopathy. If homeopathy truly has no effect, medical trials should show that. If medical trials show an effect, then it is possible that our model is wrong.
I'm not a fan of homeopathic "treatments", but if the main argument for this trial is "the products were too close to others" that seems like a bullshit case. Something's legality shouldn't hinge on its distance from other legal things or arrangement in a store. Either a thing is legal or illegal. Moving it 5 feet to the right or 2 shelves down shouldn't change its legality if it's already a legal product with whatever government warning labels and disclaimers are required.

What's next? Suing an art supply store because they had markers on the same shelf as highlighters?
> I'm not sure what you mean by "equivalent of MPAA", but there are plenty of well-funded anti-gun lobbying groups

I think parent-poster's point is that there's a fundamental funding asymmetry between (A) a political-action group directly sustained by a current money-making industry and its future growth opportunities (B) a political-action group which is not and relies on ideological/altruistic donations.

In the case of media/DRM/piracy, the profit/politics nexus mainly lies with the big media companies and the RIAA/MPAA etc.

In the case of US-gun-stuff, the profit/politics nexus predominantly lies with the gun-manufacturers and NRA etc.
Homeopathy medicines are the best examples of the placebo effect. The common argument I often hear is that it worked for me in the past. Homeopathy people say it works slowly. It works slowly because you are giving your body enough time to cure itself. It works for some and some it doesn't work. Lot of people miss this basic logic.

Some other people believe in homeopathy because it's a herbal medicine. These two are completely different. The fundamental logic of how Homeopathy medicine is created is flawed. From Wiki, "Homeopathic preparations are termed remedies and are made using homeopathic dilution. In this process, the selected substance is repeatedly diluted until the final product is chemically indistinguishable from the diluent." If you know basic chemistry you will know that this doesn't make sense.
Confusing "herbal" and "homeopathic" shows the success of advertising by the alternative medicine industry to keep customers misinformed about what is in -- or in the case of homeopathy, what is not in the products they buy. The opposite of regulated medicines which need to be specific about what goes into them. Promoting homeopathy is promoting ignorance.
Yes, I have Arch on a ZFS root pool. rEFInd + ZFSBootMenu to boot it.
The only thing I don't use ZFS for is a Windows (gaming) VM. I tried numerous different setups to keep the NTFS disk image on a zpool, but it's ultimately pretty hard to beat the performance of PCIe passthrough for a modern NVMe drive. I use syncoid/sanoid + ZFS delegations for backup management.

No real complaints except that it complicates updating Arch: kernel updates usually have to be delayed 24-48 hours while the ZFS packages get rebuilt, or in some cases patched upstream. syncoid/sanoid also poses a problem because it relies on a few Perl packages from the AUR that are a pain to rebuild.

I know the Arch devs loathe people doing partial updates, but occasionally delaying a kernel update for the sake of ZFS has yet to bite me in the ass. I would strongly advise against DKMS, though. Use a binary module or build the package yourself. The majority of problems I had with Arch+ZFS boiled down to misuse of zfs-dkms.
Not at all. I have like a dozen lightning cables in various places (work, many places in my home, my car). I have 2-3 USBC cables.

>> I'd just be happy if I came across more "senior" "web" designers that actually understand UX.

Not sure if you were around the web in the 1990's. HTML was really cool, you just wrote it and the browser reflowed everything to the users screen. Then the web went commercial and a bunch of people from the print industry came along and wanted to specify the exact page layout of everything. Things changed rapidly. I mean now they even want to not only specify fonts, but have custom ones made. Ugh.

Sometimes wage theft is what it takes to make a business viable, so I don't really buy this as an argument.

This is a better argument

You probably do, just maybe their performance doesn't double every year. I would say that's probably an interesting tradeoff to make, depending on how catastrophic one thinks the state of the world is today.

Show HN: Our Careers page helps you find a career (even when we're not hiring)
We just launched a new site and we did a few things differently.

We added a /credits page to acknowledge the people behind the commits, made some of our internal wiki public, and more, but the thing I'm most proud of is our Careers page.

The Careers page for most sites, especially now, is usually posturing.

Many companies have frozen hiring, but they're "collecting resumes" to keep up appearances.

You clicked the page to find a Career, so our goal should be help you find one.

I haven't seen other sites do this yet, how can we improve it?

> You'll need to do a case transformation and string comparison to make this work.

Better to say you need a canonicalisation table and you will need to canonicalise the text. NTFS filesystems actually carry their canonicalisation table with them, so if you happen to be using a USB drive with an NTFS filesystem where Z and Q are just different versions of the same hypothetical "Q-Z" character, filenames ZZ150 and QQ150 are indistinguishable on that USB drive, even though your Windows PC has no trouble distinguishing Z from Q.

Notice that unlike "case transformation" this doesn't pretend we're doing something with larger semantic value, and indeed the actual names on disk aren't promised to be Unicode text under NTFS, they're just arbitrary 16-bit values which probably make sense as UCS-2 or these days UTF-16 when rendered, the tables just convert some values into others.
