I guess it would be both, like with Linux on phones and desktops as a reaction to proprietary OSes becoming more restrictive – it fans the flames for LibreDNS and Stallmann-approved Gnu-DNS in some circles like the privacy-conscious subset of HN, and some of those actually use it where possible, but overall they are an inconsequential rounding error, and everyone else gets centralized and non-overridable SecureDNS™.
Exactly! paired with a powerfull cpu you will drain the battery while working on full performance.

Also sadly there are multiple reports about this issue with microsoft products too. That and coil whine...
That's a godsend! Great for custom strategy roll out.

I turned my location history off when I saw this story https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/google-tracked-his-bike...

headline: "Google tracked his bike ride past a burglarized home. That made him a suspect."

HN discussion about it (March 7, 2020): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22511637
Typo. Meant “prioritize.”
It’s not a straw man if I am replying directly to a claim:

> not just the mouthpiece of some think tank ad campaign.
That's kinda irrelevant tho ? You can practice with purpose yet still practice it badly.

You can also practice with purpose and get to a peak of your ability.
But there were other sorts of fame which are less popular today than yesteryear.

Secret lodges were once very popular, with their own hierarchies and (internal) fame.

Newspaper kiosks would carry a wider range of newspapers and magazines, but have now effectively disappeared.

Local clubs were also more common. When my old neighborhood was build in the 1950s, one of the lots we set aside as a clubhouse, with square dancing events. (It's since been turned into a pool.)

> go back a few decades and "everyone" watched the same lineup of TV on a Thursday night and it would probably have been something of a cultural knowledge shortcoming if you didn't know who the network news anchors were.

Sure, but godelski was talking about 50 years ago.

In the 1970s, a local TV station in Miami had "Toby the Robot" in a show to read the Sunday comics - https://www.pbase.com/donboyd/image/132365543 . Toby would also appear in local parades.

At https://www.pbase.com/donboyd/memories_tv_and_radio you can see some of the local Miami TV shows produced in the 1950s and 1960s .

Rick Shaw was an important local radio DJ - https://pbase.com/donboyd/memories_rickshaw . Read the comments about how locally famous he was.

Go back a few more years and there was even less network programming. If you saw the musical "Hairspray", that portrays a show based on Baltimore's Buddy Deane Show, which was one of several local teen dance television shows later replaced by national shows.

Remember, it wasn't until 1951 that we had a nation-wide microwave system that could carry TV broadcasts, and at the beginning most TV shows were still created locally. The Prime Time Access Rule went into place about 50 years ago to try to prevent that centralization.

(For another fictional movie portrayal, O Brother, Where Art Thou? shows The Soggy Bottom Boys achieving local fame because of their song on The Flour Hour.)

So even though there are new methods now, my observation is still that there were other ways to get famous, and some of these ways are no longer so common, making them somewhat hidden to modern viewpoints.

How then would you determine the validity of "There's way more B list and C list celebrities than ever before."?

I certainly don't know how.
I think it was Isaac Asimov who wrote an article once speculating on a future utopia where there would be total information freedom and transparency - everyone would know everything about everyone's movements. You could see why it would be appealing - how could there be crime if you knew where everyone was at all times? No body could cheat on their spouse, no child would ever go missing. Seems hopelessly naive now of course but you can see how it would work as a thought experiment. In reality there'll always be a protected class who get to hide their movements.
I wonder what the EU thinks of Tesla's charging port? Will all electric cars in the EU eventually be regulated into using J1772 ports without an adapter?

I will definitely switch to iPhone as soon as they come with USB-C. It feels like they're just not doing it out of spite - I already have 20 USB-C chargers and power banks for all of my hardware. If you've been in the Apple ecosystem for years, no, it probably won't matter to you and will probably annoy you more than what it's worth because you now need separate cables to charge your mouse and your phone.
Less waste after iPhone users all have to throw away their cables and buy new ones, presumably?
Weird thing to comment on the Nobel prize announcement for QM experimentalists.

WunderGraph | Senior Full Stack Engineers (+2 years experience) | REMOTE (Anywhere in the World), FULL-TIME | https://wundergraph.notion.site/Senior-Fullstack-Engineer-68...

ABOUT OUR TEAM AND CULTURE: As one of our early employees, you will become a product owner of our latest offering WunderGraph Cloud (Vercel for Backend). Culture comes first at WunderGraph, so there is no Hustle culture here. You will be judged on impact, not lines of code. We offer a competitive salary, unlimited PTO, free choice of equipment, hackathons, and more!

A common problem that you're faced with when building web applications is that each application requires a unique composition of internal and external APIs, databases, file storages and authentication providers. Once you've created such a composition, it needs to be enriched with business logic and data transformations using Middleware functions.

Companies keep inventing their own solutions to this problem, the most famous one is based on the BFF pattern (Backend for Frontend), where you create a specific backend for each individual frontend. But even with the BFF pattern, the flow is still not standardized, so companies are re-inventing the wheel over and over again.

WunderGraph set sail to solve this problem. We're building on open standards, like GraphQL, REST, OpenAPI OpenID Connect, OAuth2, AsyncAPI and more to create a standardized approach to creating API Compositions and Integrations.

Recent blog posts may give you a sense of what we're doing and our principles: https://wundergraph.com/blog

> Not that I’m saying MMOs need blockchains; but it turns out Proof-of-Work ledger technology had a use case here! (No wonder Amazon now offers a similar service: QLDB).

For one, QLDB isn't proof of work. It's centralized: if you think you need a blockchain within your own data center to establish consensus, you don't.

Blockchains are only useful when there is no central authority, which isn't the case with (all?) MMOs. Badly written blockchains have double spend issues. Video games with race conditions and no locking controls have duping problems. Blockchains only manage to eliminate the centralization (in theory), not the bugs.
The 2m one is “designed” to be used with MacBooks.

The 1m also supports 97W charging. I have the 2m (shipped with my MacBook Pro) and the 1m (shipped with my iPad Air) and I can confirm they charge my MacBook the same.
I just recently had a case where writes to an M2 SSD on a newly built computer would frequently fail. Reads were OK.

After replacing the SSD twice and then rebuilding everything using a different motherboard, it turned out it was the PSU.

Really hard to diagnose problems like this.
I cannot understand why superdeterminism is so much frowned upon while the many-worlds interpretation is considered to be perfectly fine.

I rather think the same standard should be applied to both.
I'm pretty sure if I remember a technology connections video right, that EU Tesla's already ship with either the standard port or an adapter, none of the US supercharger plug mess.
while true I only have one and would need two!

If I could connect my SB1 directly to my monitor I totally would :/
In PDF files, how to use HEIF or AVIF images (instead of jpegs, or whatever is used) to reduce final file size & increase quality?
I started with Digital Ocean (DO) and Linode's guides to get an idea of the setup in general - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-ser... (you can change distros if you're wanting the guide for something else) and https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/set-up-and-secure/

I used DO because I had gotten some free credits as a student and they were valid for a year, so it gave me time to experiment. Once I went through the guides, I started researching the topic further, each time expanding on anything I didn't know or understand.

To go from Heroku to home server, I spent about a year all in all doing the research, learning what needs to be done, what hardware, what security considerations and so on. Before buying the server hardware and doing that, I setup a VM with the Linux distro I wanted to use, mimicked the storage setup and then went about doing the whole setup from start to finish and documenting things along the way. Installing, setting up users, changing login policies, adding drives, formatting them, hard drive error checking and automated notifications, setting up docker containers, docker container backups, container updates, limiting access of containers, setting up network shares, LAN sync, multimedia playback, software backups and automated server backups.

Each new step would highlight a new learning opportunity and would raise new questions. It's really interesting and I went ahead and installed Pop OS (initially I used Zorin os pro) on all my devices which gave me a place to test out small scripts to automate a system reinstall/setup. My next goal is to collate all of this information and organize it into a guide that explores this setup from start to finish, but that's a few months out.

After that I want to move away from a single Linux install running to a Proxmox install on my home server, a couple of VMs running my services and space set aside to allow me to start a new VM when I want to test something out. I also want to build my own router using Open BSD. Hope this helps!
The iTunes Store continues to be the only reputable place to buy movies, mainly because they allow downloads (except 4K...but I digress).

In the past, redownloading movies wasn't even permitted. You download it and save it somewhere yourself. You can still do that to avoid any issues in the future, but I suspect the few incidents that have affected the iTunes Store are unlikely to re-occur. Why? For exactly the reason I mentioned at the beginning, originally you couldn't even re-download movies so it stands to reason the initial transition might've had some licensing loopholes.
Most Teslas in the EU use the standard ports. I believe the Tesla charging network also uses these. Imported Teslas probably need some kind of adapter to work.
I don't like the current basket case of a standard we call USB. I'd like to see it replaced one day because we can do better. Making it law is absurd.
Which already exists -- without EU regulatory processes to encumber them.
Sure, if you want to be the country which takes even the slightest risk of putting millions of people in danger in another in another country. Talk about liability.
Why do you think an investigation has to be done on devices available to the public? Prototypes exists.
Plenty of Apple products already use USB-C. Apple products aside, I'm sure the average household has USB-C cables by now

Besides, existing phones are obviously going to stay Lightning. Cables aren't going to be thrown out any earlier than the phones themselves

Your lungs don't eat liquid gelatin.

Ever stand at a crosswalk on a busy street? You are inhaling brake dust from the pads. You know what brake pad dust is made out of? Asbestos.

I have no idea I'm just getting into this SD wonder.
Yes exactly. I tried fly.io first from recommendations on HN, then on setup realised i needed a full docker workflow which was not what I wanted coming out of heroku.

I’ve found render the closest to heroku. I was able to setup a service for my rails app, for Postgres and for sidekick.

Not as polished as heroku or maybe fly but like I said they made up for any gaps from the bend over backwards live chat support.
You thought you bought software – all you bought was a lie
They did, coming into effect in 2026.
Really? I would say that it is art which is suffering in education at the moment. And much as many people leave high school with a lack of understanding of basic maths and science they also leave with a lack of capability to engage with media in anything but the surface level. Fundamentally everything in STEAM is a creative endeavour of some form or another and I think they are a lot more alike in the skills and techniques that let you succeed than people like to pretend.
It was mandatory in the sense that EU told manufacturers that they either agree on the standard or the EU will make the choice for them. No way in hell voluntary adoption would be of the scale that it was without the EU threat.
That'll only happen once, compared to the impact of eternally having two separate charging ecosystems.
I'm not sure how to find what you're really good at.

I would think trying new things and finding one you're good at, or passionate about and can improve on, would work.

I'm not really good at anything. I'm above average in quite a few things. I'm fine with that (at least at a hobbies level). Once you get good at something, you realize that there are still many others who are better than you. It's exceedingly rare to be the best in the world at anything. So a lot is perspective.

I also struggle with the work side though. I don't feel like an expert in anything. Even though I have 10 years of experience (at the same company no less), my career feels like there's no continuity - just forget everything and start over on the new team/tech/problem. I'd like to get to a place where I'm expert enough to be comfortable or not stressed and be paid much better. I have no solution to that.
This is the cutest thing I've seen all year.
The bigger question is how did Japan lose it? It's the same answer.

In the 80s and maybe early 90s Japan was blowing up. There was even a trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JapanTakesOverTh...

So what happened? Why did Japan lose this? Worse yet, why has Japan basically lost decades and still counting?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Decades

But the answer is staring you in the face. Economics. https://tradingeconomics.com/japan/government-debt-to-gdp

Or more specifically debt to gdp rising above 100%. Worse yet, their government took on tremendous debt despite personal income tax at 50+% https://tradingeconomics.com/japan/personal-income-tax-rate

South korea basically looked at Japan's failure and didn't do that. https://tradingeconomics.com/south-korea/government-debt-to-...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_budget_amendment Remarkably Korea doesn't even have to balance their budget and yet they take the responsibility and discipline to do so because you must.

Deficit spending will push you forward quicker but leaves you incapable of responding to crisis situations. Which breaks your country. Japan has now lost decades and is trapped in the past. Korea didn't fall for the trap.
That's because you haven't been the victim of fabricated narratives supported by your tracked locations as data in order to imprison or blackmail you. This is just a rehashed "if you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about".

Thank you to the other commenter for pointing out the banality of the "crime".
> This time around it was the sim tray.

Only in the US, I believe. My UK iPhone 14 certainly has a SIM tray with a physical SIM in it - lucky, really, because my provider doesn't support eSIMs.

[edit: just checked and it seems my provider is the only big one that doesn't support them.]
Because apple refuses to play ball otherwise. Capitalism has failed and is now producing tonnes of unnecessary e-waste.
Dangerous? Come on.
Forced usb-c charger for laptops is concerning.

1) it is additional attack vector, what if maid in my hotel enhanced my charging brick with rubber ducky?

2) mag safe is very convenient
Tesla appears to have no problem selling EVs with standard plugs in places where it’s mandatory.

(1) https://cleantechnica.com/2018/11/14/tesla-model-3-in-europe...

I think Apple will find a way to say that the iPhone 12 was made before the law was enacted and therefore shouldn’t apply to this particular model.

I also think the iPhone 15 will be the one to have with USB-C. At the same time, they haven’t had too many problems to keep multiple SKUs of the same model - ie CDMA iPhone 4, mmWave only 5G phones in the US, eSIM only versions of later models.
> Except Paul McCartney is considered as one of the best song writers of all time.

This is a loaded observation, basically arguing "because all his songs sold well, he must be a significant outlier in songwriting." Similarly, Apple is considered one the best cell phone manufacturers of all time, or McDonald's is considered one of the best burger manufacturers of all time. Popularity does not equate to whether something is any good. And not all of McCartney's songs are the best songs of all time. Some of his notably terrible songs are still popular because he, himself, is famous (because he was a Beatle). One example is the Wing's song Jet, which is popular enough to still get radio play, yet when critically analyzed falls quite short of, say, Hey, Jude.

But my argument is not that Paul McCartney can't write good songs, only that it is ordinary that a musician can recall to perform music they have heard before in the same way most that read something impactful to them can more or less recall it verbatim.
Fast-Forward to Autumn 2023 or Spring 2024 :

Tim Cook: (40:20)
Now let’s talk about iPhone. iPhone has forever changed the world. Every single day people rely on iPhone, from their most demanding tasks to capturing the moments of their lives, streaming their favorite TV shows, playing their favorite games, staying up to date with the news of the world and connecting with friends and loved ones.

Tim Cook: (40:42)
This is what drives us to create the best iPhone possible. To create an experience unlike any other, with legendary ease of use, beautiful and durable designs with water resistance and great battery life, with industry leading performance and the world’s most advanced camera systems, and with privacy built in. People love iPhone, and we keep making iPhone better, more powerful, more capable, and even more fun to use. Today, we are thrilled to introduce our next generation of iPhone. Here it is.

Tim Cook: (41:54)
[inaudible 00:41:54]

Tim Cook: (41:55)
This is iPhone {15,16}. To tell you more, here’s Kianne.

Cayenne: (42:24)
Let’s take a closer look at, iPhone {15,16}, starting with design. It has the sleek, flat edge design that people love. It also have a fantastic new charging port, featuring the same USB-C connector as our beloved iPad, developed in a tremendous effort to {fight against climate change and electronic waste,further enhance the connectivity of the iPhone {15,16}}.
EU doesn't use J1772 but CCS Combo 2 instead (for DC fast charging and AC). Vehicles without DC charging usually have a Mennekes connector. Tesla has an adapter to allow charging via CCS. Almost all cars in Europe use CCS, except for a few older Asian cars which may use CHAdeMO. Modern Tesla vehicles also use standard CCS.

Besides, this EU regulation is for small portable electronics. Last time I checked I didn't carry my car in my back pocket.

Legislation to require CCS on charging points has been active in the EU since 2014, 8 years ago.
This sort of thing is sometimes an act. I recall a friend mentioning him (with his whole band) missing an entire verse to some song, only to confess the mistake and "correct" it at the end. Tomfoolery.
I'm sure these are things designers will learn. I'm not sure that they really separate a junior from a senior designer though.

At least in product design when you hire a senior designer, you're hiring a set of beliefs about how software is designed and built. They should have pretty well-founded opinions on a variety of things. I wouldn't expect a junior designer to have formed those yet.
> And no shame in getting philosophical. It may not have been time. Perhaps you were not the same person, or nor was he

This is a really good point. My wife and I often laugh about how in high school especially and college too we wouldn’t likely have been friends, much less good romantic partners. Both of us then were different people yet now both of us are perfect for each other.

But back then? Likely not even friends.
I’ve used Hinge somewhat. Regarding the roses, and the “premium profiles” (I can’t remember the feature name), I considered this a boon - if you’re a normal guy, those are the women you should _avoid_. Conversely, if you’re a woman who really does want a relationship, then you don’t want to be one of those profiles!
>replacing the battery means replacing half the laptop

And that's assuming you can even find a decent replacement battery.
The Framework laptop expansion card system allows you to have internal, thunderbolt connected cards. I think it's an interesting compromise: https://frame.work/marketplace/expansion-cards
Then you don't wire them up
