If the history of avation is anything to go by, the incredibly stringent safety guidelines everybody must follow is not out of the goodness of their hearts but rather written by legislators in the blood of crash victims.
The fact that NASA actually treats it's humans as not expendable must be the exception to the rule then. These companies won't mind literally shredding people to proceed faster than their competition unless they are actively forced not to. Having no regard for safety is a competitive advantage if the time saved allows a leg up over all competitors in such a fast moving market. Truly any concerns over a complete flippant ignorance of having safety procedures can be drowned out by an army of fanboys going "it's worth it because space" for free if everyone lets them.

WebAssembly executes efficiently, it keeps its overhead within a small multiple of natively compiled binaries which is totally par for the course for any JIT-compiled intermediate code. You can write slow and inefficient code in any language, but Rust makes it a bit easier to do things the efficient way.

I agree... one of my relatives hates programming and used to tell me learning to code was a waste of time. Now I get a bigger check at the end of the month despite the fact he's an overworked doctor, and I'm sitting on my arse at home building some CRUD. Pick carefully who you listen to.
It's definitely cheap in comparison to San Francisco. It's more expensive than most of the country, sure.

And yes some parts of the East Bay are expensive, especially the neighborhoods on the hills or Piedmont/Claremont and further inland like Walnut Creek or Orinda etc. But let's be real, most of the East Bay is one big suburban wasteland.

There are a lot of folks living in East Oakland (with roommates, often) who work in SF restaurants.

Great it is working good for you, that makes me very happy. Glad it is smooth and fast. I tried really hard to make it super fast and optimized and small.

Thank you very much for your spacing feedback. What device are you using to browse? I could try making the column a bit more wider and more spacing... It is a big tradeoff between information density and spacing.

Maybe give it a try for a week and let me know if you get use to it? It will take a bit of getting use to, because the density is not like most other search engines. For example Kagi only has 1 column and a bunch of empty space on both sides.

I will need to be thinking more about spacing... thank you!

Ok, you agree with this then.

Yes, that is my point. This is what you agreed with.
Why the hell do we think scientific research needs a so called "debate". Are we trying to become school valedictorians?

What is needed is peer review, not debate. Debate is simply a euphemism for validation seeking for confirmation bias on random social forums.

If there was any problem with the peer review, there is cause for complaints. Are we going to hold a debate on whether the proof of fermat's last theorem is actually correct now?
If you try to build your life around brunch (or bars or camping trips) then it's not a surprise getting some structure and something to care about makes you happier.
Many people find happiness having kids but there is no denying other life pursuits will suffer.

There is less time and less energy no matter how you cut it. The priorities will change as well as they should - why have kids if they are not very important part of your life.

Someone with less time, less energy and different things to prioritize will never get as far in creative pursuits, business, sports, scientific research. It's fine but it's a trade-off. Don't pretend the child free option is just a bar night or brunch with friends. If it is, you really haven't even started figuring it out.

I asked Signal motivations for SMS removal
Here is their answer:

Hi,

Thank you for your thoughts on the announced SMS removal. The blog post describes all of the biggest factors in making this decision, but I know this is a change that is difficult to adjust to, so I wanted to chime in with some additional info that might give some more context.

1. RCS (Rich Communications Services) is coming, and it doesn’t play well with Signal. I once had a situation when I was sending SMS to one of my friends via Signal, but I wasn’t seeing any of their responses – this was because their app was automatically responding via RCS, which wasn’t delivered to Signal. This is going to continue to get worse, and Signal cannot add RCS support because there’s no RCS API on Android. Honestly, the days of any third-party SMS app are numbered.

2. Proper SMS/MMS support is hard. Signal has to support thousands of devices running dozens of versions of Android. Now multiply that by the hundreds of cell carriers running an inherently bad/buggy protocol, and you’ll start to understand the weird MMS bugs we can run into. And any time spent trying to fix them is time invested in an insecure protocol.

3. SMS/MMS has plenty of its own bugs. Remember that incident a few years ago in which everyone got old Valentine’s SMS messages delivered 9 months later? It was an SMS protocol bug for which some users blamed Signal. Other weird bugs like temporarily-split MMS groups, bad image quality, and the general inability to leave MMS groups are flaws in MMS that also get attributed to us.

4. Spam. My goodness, SMS spam is a real thing, and many people who use Signal cannot tell the difference between SMS spam and Signal messages if both come through Signal. They think we’re responsible for the spam.

5. Finally, Signal having SMS support gives a lot of people the wrong impression of SMS. They think that because SMS is being sent through Signal, it’s actually secure or as secure as an encrypted Signal-to-Signal message, and that’s just not true. We can add unlocked padlock icons to each SMS message, and we can label the message compose box as “insecure”, but the misunderstanding would continue. The only thing we can do is store the SMS messages encrypted on the device, but in my opinion that matters very little when anyone who wants your SMS messages can just get them all from your cell carrier.

In short, SMS is on its way out in general, and in a world where Signal supports SMS, all of SMS shortcomings are often attributed to Signal itself, all while confusing people into thinking their SMS messages are secure.

In my opinion, a secure SMS app does not exist. Just choose the one with the best layout or usability, and preferably one that supports RCS (which I believe at this point are Google and Samsung Messages), because at least then there’s some chance that they might end up being encrypted in the future.

I hope that helps give some more context. And please know that I understand this is difficult to adjust to. I can relate. I’ve used Signal as my SMS app for over 6 years, but I truly think it’s for the best.

Wow, thank you for posting this, I was just thinking this!

Most people here focus on autocorrect, which isn't such a big problem for me since I'm used to having it off.

But what the hell is wrong with the cursor placement? It is so incredibly broken, it has a mind of its own, and never goes to where I mean to put it.

Simply tapping on text puts it in the wrong places, but holding and dragging cursor or holding and dragging on the spacebar to move it also works terribly, somehow it never does what I need it to.

Selecting text is just as terrible.

It's also impossible to put the cursor in the middle of a word. WHY NOT? Just put the cursor where I tap! It is so easy to do on Android.

I find it much easier to type and move cursor on my Galaxy S9 than on my iPad mini, despite the iPad having a much bigger screen.

I would say it has to be the UK for the following reasons:

- Extremely easy and cheap (no cost) to set up a limited company (can be done in 1 day)

- English speaking

- Access to huge pool of talents (not just European talent but also talent from many other cultures which is not that common on Mainland Europe)

- Huge tech scene, every tech company has a footing in the UK somewhere. You roam around likeminded people and other "successful" startups/businesses which is hugely motivating.

- UK is quick to adopt technology, especially in FinTech (for example many of my friends in mainland Europe still have no idea of Revolut or other challenger banks, with Germany being an exception)

- conferences, tech meetups, etc. you'll find a community for every niche here

- Access to funding good for Europe (obviously not as great as on the US West coast, but for this part of the world it's great)

- With the current rate of Sterling it is easy/easier to draw in investment from abroad (e.g. attract US investors as they get more for their $)

- Now this is very subjective, but I find the people in the UK are a lot more "entrepreneurial" than in Mainland Europe. I grew up in Europe and lived there until I was 25 and the whole system is set up to make people believe that the pinnacle of life is to get a university degree and then get a stable job in a 9-5 office job. In the UK so many people have a can-do-attitude and desire to create something for themselves, even if it's just a tiny business, but at least they work for themselves. It also shows in how people in the UK really value ownership and property as opposed to being content with renting (which is the default in Mainland Europe)

ntfy looks great! I love these "do one small thing right" tools in the OSS ecosystem!

A few months back, I was looking for the opposite. A way to bring notifications from my phone onto my laptop. I tend to usually keep my phone in a different room during the workday, and have to keep jumping in everytime I need something like a SMS 2FA or to just check if I have any new notifications. Whatsapp Web+TOTP take a lot of the pain away, but it would still be great to have a way to seamlessly get notifs from phone (Android if it makes building it easier) to laptop (Ideally cross-platform, but Linux). Any idea of any tools that do that?
I started boycotting Korean Air. Supposedly the reason why they don’t have wifi is that Koreans are used to great internet service, so it’s better not to have any wifi on their planes than to have slow internet.

I didn’t realize how addicted to the internet I was until I did a 15 hour flight from Boston to Incheon in the spring. Never again. I’ll gladly fly Delta instead.

Edit: ok, wow I didn't even check the link before writing my suggestion but it's kinda freaky how similar they are. Even used a scifi movie as the example.

I have a horrible idea that I haven't actually tried out, and I don't know how many filesystems it would work on anyway, but hard links...

Create a directory that holds your files. Organise them however you like - some arbitrary subdirectory structure using dates, names etc.

Create another top-level directory called "Tags", and build a directory structure that supports your needs.

Write a stupid "tag" shell script and a shell tab-completion script for it that lets you tag any item in the "real" directory structure using tab completion on the original file name and the tag. When you hit the return key the script creates a hard link for the original file in the chosen tag directory.

Example: tag "files/movies/the matrix.mkv" "tags/movies/sci-fi"

Now you can browse 'tags/movies/sci-fi'.

No "real" coding skills needed. You reorganize your tag directories and files by moving them around, and if you've done your shell scripts properly it shouldn't care as long as the top-level directories don't change. Limits? On Linux an inode can have up to 65000 hard links so I don't think it'll be an issue.

The many problems I see are name clashes, directories not supported (by hard links), cross file system links not supported (by hard links) and file deletions (don't work as expected). The tag script could handle the former. For deletions, you could create a "delete" that gets the file inode and deletes tags first, using 'find $tagsdir -inum $inode -delete'

Not a big city, but in Colombo, there is an ISP that exclusively provides Fibre lines to apartment buildings. It's a common interest for both building management and the ISP to provide service.

If the building signs up with the ISP, any customer from that building can sign up directly at ISP, and they can setup the connection within the same day.

Price wise, they are on par with other ISPs, but the Sri Lankan government heavily regulates the prices.
I really don't think these are at all the same class of thing. One is like, a basic human need? I think for most people? The other is a harmful vice that has a lot of documented negative effects.

Show HN: Inbox Pirates, a way to preview, test and analyze your emails
Hi HN, My name is Bharadwaj Giridhar. I'm the founder of inboxpirates.com . Inbox Pirates is an email preview tool for sales & marketing teams. It helps you preview how your email actually looks in your receiver's inbox.

When I was building Crewcharge, an email marketing tool - I needed to build a feature to show a preview of how the email looks. I was searching for inspiration and realised most email preview tools only showed you the email in full screen when it's opened as if all emails get opened.

While this happened, my friend who is a digital marketer sent an email to himself and grabbed 3 phones around the house. When I asked why, he replied that most people don't even open the emails and read it from the notification bars.

Another friend missed a job interview because he swiped on the notification thinking it was a promotion.

After a survey it was clear than more 75% of the people do the same and that most email marketing or email outreach tools are optimizing for wrong placements.

I built this as a chrome extension so it would be open to existing email marketing and email outreach tools in the market. It currently integrates with Google Workspace, Hubspot, Apollo io, Snov io, Mailchimp, Sendinblue, Google Sheets / Notion / Airtable.

The way it works is it parses the dom for the email text (or HTML), subject line, Sender name and creates the previews in a new tab where you can explore how the email looks on Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Androids, iPhones.

Future integrations in pipeline include Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Instantly, Lemlist, Outreach io.

Launched on Producthunt reaching #1 product of the day and reached around 450 users, a lot of us discover us on Google when they search for email preview or email testing tools.

The vision of inboxpirates is to also give you a good email score to get higher response and open rates, using NLP and the core version is very basic with some bugs.

Bootstrapped solo-founder here with a production version, sorry in advance for some of the bugs against specific email clients!

I've spent around 5 months building and marketing this tool alone, but I wanted to really see if people cared enough about this problem.

Appreciate all thoughts and feedback. For anything else, mail me at inboxpirates[at]gmail.com

> if one thinks critically, the only time renting can be cheaper than owning is if it's short-term.

If you skip economies of scale that is. AWS, Azure and GCP allow you to use stuff that has cost billions of man hours and matériel to develop and deploy. How much would it cost you to build a global network? A globally distributed DB? Custom ARM/Tensor chips which come out much cheaper than mainstream alternatives for some workloads?

If all you need is to host a few apps in a narrow geographic area, or do compute/graphics intensive stuff on an inflexible scale, it will probably cost less over a long period of time (3-5 years). But it's still much more inflexible, time consuming and hard. You need to hire the right people and they need the time to order, configure and deploy all that infrastructure.
Do this and now you also have an incentive to first spend money frivolously so that "savings" can later be easily found.
I can confirm having had a similar experience, albeit at a smaller scale (fewer customers but similar annual spend.)

My favourite find was a database backup someone configured where it was keeping full uncompressed daily backups forever. Fixing just that cut their spend by $100K annually, and then we kept going.

The worst offenders are governments, especially in some countries that haven't had sufficiently brutal economic downturns recently to force anyone to do some belt tightening. Australian government is spectacularly wasteful, burning piles of money in the cloud for services that only malicious bots ever visit.

Like you said, these places love to pad out there resumes at the expense of the taxpayer. I regularly see multiple Kubernetes clusters deployed for one web app. Or architecture diagrams that look like a spiderweb of connecte d systems for something that should be running on a single VM.
> Doctors, for the most part, aren't interested in research.

Doctors, for the most part, are fucking idiots who couldn't solve a moderately complicated puzzle if their own lives depended on it. I say this because I have been a patient, because I have taught doctors, and because I have worked with their peers. It is true.

The reason the medical system works at all is because you do not, typically, actually demand much from your doctor. For example, if your surgeon is dumb as a box of rocks but has great dexterity, well, that usually works out. Even the doctor who looks at you, sees you're depressed, and randomly prescribes some antidepressant works out, because it's often not really possible to do much better!

Of course, sometimes you do need better. The article author needed better. I've needed better. So when you find a doctor or other practitioner (do not look down on ARNPs!) who listens and actually thinks about your problem, even if they have some faults in other areas, hold on to that person. They do exist, they are possible to get a hold of (not that it's easy to do, or even deterministic), and they can make all the difference.
A book I might recommend and that I'm going through at the moment is Where Mathematics Comes From: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics Into Being

I haven't read that book, but I did just read the wikipedia page for it, for what it's worth. Based on that I feel it's more that they're arguing that the path we've taken and the metaphors we've used while exploring our way to our current understanding of mathematics is based on our biology. Our biology has greatly affected the order we've discovered things and how we understand those thing and how we actually 'do' math day to day, and all that I agree with. It's also very likely that aliens will have taken a very different path and have very different metaphors and proofs for understanding and doing their version of what we call mathematics. Because of this it might very well be very difficult for us to initially understand each others mathematics.

Indeed looking through human history our philosophical understanding of mathematics fundamentally 'is' has changed many times. Yet mathematical truth's we've found along the way have always remained constant (barring errors in calculation or reasoning) even as our understanding of mathematics has changed.

I believe that once we gotten passed all that both us and the aliens will find that, at the core, we both agree on what is "mathematically" true.

I will however also concede that some of the arguments in this thread has made me slightly less sure than I was before, so that is something I guess.
Again, literally the only way you correct for unconscious bias is conscious bias. Where did you get the mistaken impression that it's supposed to be comforting knowledge?

If your target is X = 0, and you think or you've been told that you act as if X = -2, then you act as if X = 2 and hope for the best.
