Am I the only one who finds the repeated incorrect spelling of "heterogeneous" annoying?

The worst part is, the way they spell it, "heterogenous", actually means something else. Just not what they think it means...
Idk about iOS, but on Android it's just go to Play Store, install browser and tap on "make it default"? What's the difference with PC here?

> According to Erdogan, it is not about economics.

This is not accurate. He literally believes in economic theory that holds that interest rates cause inflation. The root of this theory is Islamic belief, but it's not that he believes that inflation is a necessary evil to stick to his principles, he believes that increasing interest rates would increase inflation.

He has been very open about this belief for a very long time. The short slogan he's used is, roughly translated, "interest is the cause, inflation is the result".

For example, see: https://m.bianet.org/english/economy/254059-erdogan-insists-...
Yes, I was just talking about the face-value of what they wrote. Obviously, they won't stop doing business with Netflix just because Netflix is streaming Shindler's List, though that is in clear violation of this policy as written - they will selectively enforce this whenever the mood hits them.
Raising rates and creating a potential recession seems, on its surface, like the absolutely wrong way to handle an economy with inflation. And yet after 5 minutes of an economist explaining it to me, it becomes the obvious right move.

Kind of amazing that world leaders can be so foolish. And yet typing that sentence made me feel foolish.

Google Analytics doesn't "track" users unless explicitly configured to do so. Google Pay actually needs PII, meanwhile the worst that Google Analytics collects (but doesn't share with site owners) is IP, which Google Pay probably also collects as part of KYC regulations.

genuine curiosity: why would you need an SSH server on a gaming console?
Seems fair to me when your alternatives are install a signing key (for your Linux os) yourself to the EFI, disable secure boot, or allow MS to be the gatekeeper of what software can run on your PC, including the distro getting itself OK'd by MS with their separate OS key that might or might not be included by the OEM.

Happy to be corrected if things have changed since the last time I looked at things.
I remember people using PS3 as compute cluster [1] some time ago. Is this still possible with PS5? My general question is: are there and what are some non-gaming purposes of jailbroken PS5?

Show HN: Open-Source Enterprise SSO with Support for OpenID Connect and SAML
Hi, I'm currently working as a dev on the BoxyHQ team, providing an OSS platform for devs to quickly plug-n-play enterprise features into their products.

Jackson is one of our core offerings which enables SSO integration for your SaaS apps. We had support for SAML Identity Providers from day one.

Today, I am excited to share that we now support OpenID Connect Providers also. With this change, we hope to cover almost all the SSO use cases out there. It would be great to get your feedback, please reach out to me at aswin@boxyhq.com

Read more about it in our blog post: https://boxyhq.com/blog/sso-building-blocks

Why focus exclusively on the desktop, or over-generalize from it to other uses? What is appropriate for them is not necessarily so for the many millions of machines in server rooms and data centers. Also, you present a false dichotomy. "Lose unsaved files for sure" is not the case for many systems, and "not even know" is not necessarily the case. Logging during shutdown is a real thing, as is saving a crash dump for retrieval after reboot. Both have been standard at my last several projects and companies.

As I've said over and over, both approaches - "limp along" and "reboot before causing harm" - need to remain options, for different scenarios. Anyone who treats the one use case they're familiar with as the only one which should drive policy for everyone is doing the community a disservice.
>The author is privileged that his parents live in a reasonable place.

You preach tolerance and reasonableness, and paint (at least) 10% of the US population as with the same brush.
This is nonsense. I lived in Vicksburg throughout my formative years and yes it has its fair share of rednecks but it's also go more diversity than most places in the US, e.g. Austin, TX.

Yes, there is a poor standard of living in many areas, but there's also an amazingly rich cultural history (not just for whites).

The problem is you are choosing to view an entire state strictly through the lens of politics when there are different groups, viewpoints, and communities to be a part of outside of the "conservative" ones you despise.

You come across as the privileged one tbh in that you can afford to leave and move on to better opportunities in different regions. Many of the poorest people in the nation live in MS and they could use our help rather than our condemnations.

Growing as a Developer by Teaching to Learn
Thanks for sharing.

That's one of the reasons entering this market is challenging.
1. So many existing solutions are bad, so people will assume you're also bad.
2. You will be lost in all voices and blogs and ads for these bad products.

But for the point about making it too easy hurts PMF, I think it's not going to have that much of an impact and it's never a bad thing to have your product perform well.

I'm more worried about companies opting to build their own flow because it matches their brand and design. Any thoughts about this?
Surely a retail investor understands that the AAPL represents claims on the future earnings of Apple, and TSLA represents claims on the future earnings of Tesla. People know what those companies do in the real world.
The challenging part is the process is actually integrating an onboarding system into your app - doing the right thing at the right time in a way that looks seamless/intentional and works consistently. If you want to build a successful solution, I think this is probably the hump you're going to have to get over. No product out in the market is perfect, because everyone wants something different, and generic products are easier to extend/change. Make sure you aren't building YOUR version of an onboarding system and expecting others to buy into it - they probably won't.

A better way to estimate life expectancy is to use an actuarial life table. SSA has a very simple one based only on age[1]. Those show an expected 18 years for someone 65 years old. It's interesting to see that life expectancy stays above one year until the age of 113. Of course these are just expected averages, they are useful at scale but individual experience will vary.

Show HN: I wrote a book about overcoming the Metacrisis
Hey HN!

Recently published a book developing new frameworks of meaning and value informed by our most advanced cosmology and physics. It makes the argument for the necessity of spiritual revolution in order to free the abundance trapped in the world, a reimagination that interlinks the spiritual project to systemic reformation.

The inspiration for the text draws from my history of social impact work and the frustrations and lessons learned along the way.

I've always looked at cryptocurrencies more as good alternatives to awful fiat currencies and unlikely to supplant good fiat currencies so long as those currencies are generally well-managed. You generally cite the Euro but don't forget that Bitcoin just lost like 70% of its value this summer (in addition to other cryptocurrencies losing much of their value as well), neither are immune to volatility. In this case in particular it's jaw-dropping to see just how supreme the USD is. Rising interest rates in the US to combat inflation are basically wrecking major currencies, including cryptocurrencies.

Personally I think long-term that the fiat monetary system will dissolve or be relegated to just a few countries (US for example assuming it doesn't collapse at the hands of the Republican party) and many countries (if they continue to even exist and depending on what amount of State is left over) will resort to bartering, a mix of USD and various cryptocurrencies, gold, and trading labor for commodities.
I strongly disagree. Meme is a term coined by Richard Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene, defining the idea of unit of cultural knowledge.

Basically, it's the smallest unit of cultural information. In the same sense as Gene it's the smallest unit of genetic information.

That's why it's pronounced Meme as in Gene.

None of this necessarily implies a joke.
Of course it scales if you allow dedicated servers run by a 3rd party admin, like TF2 or Factorio or so many games of the past. But most companies these days don't want to give up that control.
The better question is why not.

As for why, here is one example: backing up and restoring saves and other game data.
Not exactly. Memes are just cultural bits that get passed around, and virality is more like a measurement of how much they get passed around. Jokes have intrinsic memetic qualities (like this innate desire to get told again, for comedic value), which makes them great memes.

Indeed, the Fed Open Market Committee, which is the arbiter of interest rates in the United States is a 12-member body, so it would take at least seven people to do something this destructive here. (Of course, the FOMC members change over time partly via Presidential appointment, so to persist in such a bad idea for many years would take potentially hundreds of people to at least not interfere)

And the fun part is that they’re cylinders with nothing separating them, so could be easily rolled together, by accident. And apparently they were arranged by using a glovebox, so someone’s hands being used to separate them would act as a water mediator to slow the neutrons. Fun times!

This isn’t directed at you specifically, but your comment about FINALLY having time back makes me think this is a generational consequence. If you had family and other support while raising your kids, you may not feel like this? Of course can’t paint a broad brush but something is broken in how western civilization does family.

I'm not George, but hell if I'm not guilty of saying things like this when actively listening.
If we’re talking about PCs you could buy an old office PC on eBay for $150 with a 7th gen Intel CPU and 16 GB of RAM and play a glut of low power games, retro emulators, etc. And if you’re willing to shell out another $150 for a 5 year old GPU you’ll be able to run just about any game, albeit on the lowest settings most of the time.
Anecdotally, the sites I go back to frequently are those that have new stuff on them frequently.

Examples include… Hacker News. News sites. Twitter.

Of course, having a lot of new relevant stuff every day requires either social use at scale, or an editorial team. Not cheap.
PS5 had a bug where its Wifi speeds can become 80% slower if the rear USB ports are being used.

That's a great point. Any integrative solution worth its salt offers some level of customization. But you're right; maybe because everyone's needs are a little different, it might not be viable. Any idea how to validate this part?

BTW, I was actually thinking of redirecting users after signup to a beautifully designed (customizable) onboarding flow that includes an A/B test as part of it so that product managers can play with it as much as they want without devoting engineering resources.

Thoughts?
Microsoft has yet to totally lockdown their hardware. They usually provide a way to disable secureboot or to enroll your own keys (with a few specific exceptions).

Apple's macs are also fairly open. You can install your own bootloader, and boot whatever you want on them. There's a secureboot, but it can be disabled.

Of course, apple's iPhone are very similar.
You can make your own local extension. People will just write easy tool to generate an extension out of userscript(s).

Still not good that they removed that...
The deck has a suite of apps that will install and configure whatever emulator you'd like. Then, you simply scp over roms and it'll also automatically add the relevant game entries to the steam library.

Streaming, Pipelining, and Parallelization
I’m going to ask the dumb question: if you had a newsletter or some online store that you wanted to promote, and you had at least some budget for ads, what actually works in terms of ads?

All anyone talks about is how ads never work, but I know a couple of people who, for example, thrive on Facebook ads. Are they outliers then?
I am not autistic and had an imaginary friend when I was little, maybe around 5 years old. I don't know if any of my classmates had imaginary friends, it's not exactly water-cooler conversation for toddlers, but more importantly my friends wouldn't know this about me. So, your anecdote and belief of relation to trauma doesn't align with my experience. I'm not yet fully convinced there is anything unhealthy about imaginary friends or that trauma plays a role at all.
Or, once someone has heard the story, they are more likely to bring it up again, continuing the cycle.

I genuinely plan on mentioning this to my wife this evening. Not in a "let's move to live near my parents" way, but just as a way of bringing up that time is valuable.

If she then mentions to someone that I said this, will they say "I don't believe you, I've heard this story before?"
When I was hired as a contractor at NREL, we had 2 days of safety training. Which is far more than I've ever had anywhere else. Everyone I worked with was an engineer: many had masters and PhDs (the product I worked on started as the dissertation of our group's leader).

We used to make fun of some of the videos giving them titles like "rattlesnakes are not your friend" or "you and your fire extinguisher" and the most entertaining "do not look into laser with remaining eye". People in Colorado are very outdoorsy, and unfortunately, rattlesnake bites were not that uncommon as there were lots of rattlesnake dens on the campus.

TL;DR - the workforce at the national labs tends to be highly educated and trained.
I thought something similar to this but not exactly like you described it.

Initially, I had the impression that this "SixthSense" phenomenon was one of those concepts tagged as "Fake It Until You Make It", but apparently, it was not. Probably, there was no PoC, just some cinematic-video "montage" to create a buzz around it, then soon, it evaporated.

IMHO, a close comparison to this in recent years is probably "Theranos" & "Nikola", where they created the buzz, in fact, a lot of hype for something that did not exist in the first place.
You could also build a good public (either nationalised, or just as a sort of "industrial commons") infrastructure for payments that doesn't depend on privatising money flows like in the US.

In many European countries, you can send money for free directly between banks in seconds without even as much as a fleeting thought that there are private companies doing the same service.
Does my source matter or will you disagree with the point I'm making anyway? As I said, it is recollection of news clips and twitter from CDC officials/accounts, it would take some time to find and I'm not exactly willing to go through the effort if you will not first dispute the point.
A Natural History of Dragons
It's weird people think it's weird.

Making perhaps unpleasant but relevant and topical observations that help a friend isn't weird. It's charitable. The author brought up the fact that he would like to see his parents more often. George simply threw some light on the obvious in order to help a friend who is waffling and hesitating and wasting time instead of making the right decision. It was an obvious inference based on the stated facts and an important thing for the author to understand so that he could live a better life. It wasn't arbitrary, it wasn't nosy or intrusive or rude (if the author's story is accurate).

It's not a gaming console. It's a portable PC. That's the design philosophy behind Steam Deck. It's even marketed that way:

"All-in-one portable PC gaming"

https://www.steamdeck.com/en/

There is a great interview with one of the designers of the Steam Deck here that covers this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdX11KOP2tg

Seems pedantic, but I think it's important to the discussion in the way we think about the Steam Deck.
It seems at least as likely that a Roe Jogan listener might enact that story with a friend, as that they would just hear it and then make up a story where they ask the question.

It's of course quite pointless to speculate about the truth or fiction of an Internet story starring people you don't know.

I wonder about the people who think it's implausible however. Do you never discuss difficult things with your friends? Whether to marry the girl/guy/human, how many times you'll see your parents again, how's your cousin's health, that kind of thing?

That's supposed to be normal, I worry that what y'all would call friends is what I would call colleagues or casual acquaintances.
This piece is poorly written. Run-on sentences obscure a total absence of coherent points of novelty or useful description of past decision making work. It demands effort to read and delivers nearly nothing[1] in return.

From the byline:

This is where I share my random thoughts on organisation, technology and mindset related to digital transformation. Might be a bit random at start, but maybe it will eventually turn into something cohesive.

I gave the author the benefit of the doubt and read on. I recommend you don't make the same mistake. Cohesiveness is nowhere in sight.
