>My podcasts arrive using a different app with the backing of the RSS standard, not Spotify's internal standard.

I know a lot of people will disagree, but I think Spotify did a good job of handling the problem of "premium" podcasts.

There's no way to make a "premium" podcast (one you charge people to access) that is fully compatible with the original open vision of podcasting. You can either pervert the original RSS enclosures system by using obscure / personalized URLs for individual subscribers (a leaky abstraction that both discourages open sharing of feed URLs and fails to properly close off access) or you can pervert it by wrapping files in DRM (Apple's approach in the Apple Podcasters Program).

Instead of perverting the RSS feeds, Spotify opted to pervert (slightly) the term "podcast" to not strictly mean "in an RSS feed and listenable on any client." I think this was inevitable and arguably had already happened and is far better than corrupting the open ecosystem. It also happens to be far easier from a UX perspective to tell someone to just use the Spotify app.

For all the people upset at Spotify, consider the counterfactual: Why would they tell people to listen to their premium podcasts by copying a custom premium URL and pasting it into some random client (which 99% of the time on iPhones will be controlled by their bully Apple)? It is much clearer, easier for the user, and better for Spotify's premium creators (who don't want to lose listeners to a complex setup system) to just tell them "Listen to Spotify podcasts by downloading the Spotify app".

Under Spotify's system, some podcasters rake in Spotify money they wouldn't otherwise get, growing the premium ecosystem, while the open ecosystem remains robust and not polluted with more DRM and URL hacks. Keeping closed systems clearly closed and separate is much better IMO than trying to awkwardly jam it into the open ecosystem, undermining what makes that ecosystem great.
> I'm not suggesting that consent shouldn't still be asked for in cases where it's legitimate, like storing actual user personal data that they provide when signing up for an account, for example.

Guess what. In this case the you don't have to ask for user consent. Because this data is strictly essential to site functionality.

> But simply visiting a website should not be considered a legitimate reason to obtain or store a user's data.

Guess what. It's exactly what GDPR is saying.
Hopefully they'll all be charged as co-conspirators.
Telegram now is more akin to Discord and Twitter with bots, channels and public groups. It's been some time Telegram has moved from personal chatting app as WhatsApp.
I think it's the combination of "movement" and very high res pictures.

Once you start moving into the tunnel you really get the feeling you are there.

Also the rig might have been set at 6' (that's matterport's default recommendation, or at least it was) so you really feel the low ceilings.
As a side note, this comment in itself is interesting. We are seeing tighter integration between frameworks and IDEs, almost a reversion back to early visual studio days. Will be interesting to see how each nudge the other.
Unless discrediting the cause is the goal
It went down significantly in 2021 for me. Though it popped back up a lot in 2022 if we signed a new lease (did not).
Should have lost them all. The party died in that terrorist attack.
Growing up in Germany, before I moved to the Bay Area, I was wondering why weather apps and widgets were so prolific. Sure, knowing the forecast for next weekend was nice, but for anything closer I'd just get out of bed and look out of the window. That would pretty much tell me what weather it is, and it would usually change just slowly over a few days or so.

Then I moved to the Bay Area, and weather does not only change quickly, it may also be vastly, vastly different just a short distance away. Temperature differentials of 10°C or more within just 40 miles are interesting enough that it's a frequent topic of conversation with friends in Germany.

Everything suddenly made sense. The weather widgets. The hoodies: Easy to put on or off.
Sunk cost fallacy much?
The VM encapsulates the OS component for networking and networking virtualization. In my experience, the virtualized software stack in the VM host is very reliable and predictable, and all the existing OS tools I need as a sysadmin (like tshark, ip, and other commands) all work just fine for debugging.

I understand the desire for moving more TCP logic to applications but, given my experience with network technology, I would predict that ten years from now, people will hate the experience of having to update 30 apps to get 1 fix to TCP performance that would have just been a kernel upgrade. IE, like everything that happened with the web and inner platforms, it's more work, doesn't replace the existing system, and just makes the admin's life harder for the ostensible purpose of being more convenient for the developer on their own machine.
Uff too real. I worked up a sweat on this one
My impression as a layperson is that the economic feasibility of pumped hydro is very location-dependent, and our electrical grid isn't so fungible that storage in one region can meaningfully store energy generated in another region. Is my understanding correct? And if so, how do we tackle that?
You're right. It's narcissistic, self-aggrandizing performance art for people who desperately seek attention and validation, without putting in effort or sustained, deliberate sacrifice.
If you had seen it, good chance you would have shrugged it off. Most phone's WAP browsers sucked. You would have pretty much been paying $15/mo to read sports scores or delayed stock ticker quotes on most phones sold in the store. They definitely weren't expecting people to use the dumb phone internet connections for much data.

I would buy unlocked GSM phones online and just pop my dumb phone SIM card into them. AT&T seemed to not recognize the IMEIs or at least wouldn't care that they weren't the cheap dumb phone on my plan. Then I'd have apps like Opera Mini and Google Maps. IMAP email would sync on the device without issue. internet instant messengers worked fine. I could stream music through m3u's. When the iPhone came out nothing about it seemed revolutionary to me, as I was a part of that niche market. Most consumers didn't even realize they could do those things on their phone, and for a lot of users it would be too complicated for them to even really consider it.

The US Navy's COAMPS model is good for littoral regions.
They couldn't deliver 1 good project CP77, but now committing to 5 at around the same time?

You said:

>Its a third party studio doing the remake, CDPR probably won't be diverting many internal resources away from their existing in-house projects for this.

but the link claims:

>On Tuesday, CD Projekt Red announced five all-new games currently in development at the studio

Their stock price is near 5 year low, how can they afford it?

I don't personally find the bet to be controversial, I can see why you could envision VR as being the future.

What baffles me is the execution that appears to be handled incompetently.

No, I do such reviews, but I also take notes, interact with a terminal, read books, hack etc.

The boox and the previous gen of Sony are easy to root: there're even guides available. I may write such a guide for the new gen eventually.

Also, they are cheaper, with better customer support, there's no need for special software or subscription.

So I insist: the remarkable has only one small feature where it's ahead. I got one and promptly returned it, as it would have been a downgrade for just everything else.

I've got a collection of eink devices (Moaan/Xiomi inkpalm and inkpalm plus, Sony, Fujitsu, Boox...), and I have very low standards: anything that I can somehow use makes the cut.

The remarkable didn't, which is telling.

It's just bad, sorry. It's marketed to the linux/free software community so it's good if you want some geek cred, but personally I don't care: I root as needed, and write my own tools if required.

Maybe that's why I didn't like the remarkable: I don't need their inferior offering as I can just take something better and make it dance the way I want lol
> All pumped storage requires is a big high spot and a big low spot

I think that's what the GP meant by "extremely geographically dependent." Finding a 1,000 ft height difference (using the Gordon Butte Project as an example) between reservoirs will be really challenging in huge swaths of the United States and elsewhere.
Show HN: AnySelfie – AI Art Seflies for the Masses
Howdy HN! I had a lot of fun putting myself into different universes (Apollo 11, Hulk, Wild West, Dr Strange) using Dreambooth and Stable Diffusion. I'm curious to see if there is an appetite for this type of entertainment app.

My vision is pre-configured prompts and pre-generating images, so people can explore it like a selfieverse feed. For technical users, I would offer them to download the 2GB model so that can own it and run their own prompts. Long term, maybe open up the prompt UI for technical users.

Another goal was to re-learn Rust. This UI is built in Yew (Rust, CSS, and HTML only) and the backend is in Actix. It has been a great practical project for getting practice with the language.

Thank you for the feedback!

You can reply to app review in app store connect and ask for clarification, in my experience apple is much better at this than google.
Rush to Buy I Bonds Overwhelms TreasuryDirect Website

Hrrmm... for "object" based AWS stuff, it's fairly easy: you add a tag[1] to the resource (an EC2 instance for example) and those tags are exposed in the billing reports, so you can correlate them back to your customer accounts. I haven't used any of the "pure api" based Amazon services, so not sure if there's an exact analogue of that or not. I see that there's a jobTag[2] field you can add to the request for Textract calls, and that that can in turn be sent to an SNS topic.

If that same field makes its way into the billing report, this would be fairly easy. If not, I think you might just have to track how many calls are made on behalf of a given customer (your customer) and then write code to calculate how much to charge your customer based on the published pricing information[3] for the service. You could do the tracking using that jobTag thing and SNS topic, or you could probably track it on your end if there is code you control that is actually initiating the Textract request. One tricky part here will be keeping track of price changes and when they happen, so you can reflect that in your calculations.

Maybe there's a cleaner way to do it. Ideally there'd be a way to pass something in the request that flows all the way through to the billing report, but I am not sure if that "thing" exists for these services or not.

Why Typhoon Instead of Airflow?
Is there a better way than Airflow?

After giving it much thought and having many lunch time conversations with my coworkers I became convinced that all my issues with Airflow stemmed from the same root cause: task isolation. What in theory looked like a good thing ends up hindering good software practices....
I'm not the board game illustrator. My art skills aren't that great. I just see what he posts on Facebook in board game design/art groups.

I suspect eye strain was a consideration he had in making his purchase, though. He did all-digital illustration before this point (and I'm sure he still does, this is just a tool in his toolchain. He can't add color to his drawings on the reMarkable, for example). This guy had at least one game sold in Wal-mart and quite a few successful Kickstarters with his artwork (looks like he's done art for about 40 games in the past three years, he's been busy), so it can be used professionally.

This game in particular I know he did all the black-and-white versions using reMarkable, as he posted his in-progress pictures of it, on his device, on Facebook. You can see those versions in the video even, near the end of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4LOX55h-8Y
Excited for the improvements, some big wins there!
But surprised to see so many removals in the Changes section to what seems to be a minor version of a 1.x release. Nothing that hurts me personally, altho not Semantic Versioning and cautions shaky ground to build on?

> Only hydro does not require any new minerals and mining.

Why is mining a major obstacle, provided it is economical and the environmental costs are some orders of magnitude less than those of climate change?
Almost. If you had long term storage you would be following the market yourself. There is a good chance that you are the one who paid for this gas months ago when it left port, expecting to sell the gas you currently have in storage and refill it with shipments arriving today. So odds are you lost money today.

Note that the above was a good and reasonable bet to make. You should have already known the risk that this would happen and so are not surprised. You still expect to make money of the year, just not as much.
> VHS has an SSH server built in! When you self host VHS you can access it as though it were installed locally. VHS will have access to commands and applications on the host so you don't need to install them on your machine.

That is super slick!
I would say the opposite is true for me. I never know I am dreaming while I’m dreaming. You never have nightmares then, I take?
I would suggest the mods change the title here to something that communicates that this project hasn't been associated with Facebook in years (maybe "ex-Facebook"?); and also that this isn't something that just came into existence, but rather has existed for years. As it is, this is drawing comments mostly from people assuming that this is something just happening now, leading to very non-productive conversation.
> Has anyone seen a USB-C port in a hotel?

I don't travel as much as I used to, but I was commenting on this in a hotel room in Schenectady just this past weekend. We've just barely gotten to the point where it's a surprise not to find at least one or two USB-A ports in a room, whether built into a lamp or otherwise. USB-C is probably going to take as long to appear as those did, and that was what? Five years? More? Certainly not less.

I have a compact four-port charger that lives in my travel bag, and I suspect I'll be plugging it into still-too-rare AC outlets in hotel rooms for a long time yet. At least I know it's wired correctly, has overcurrent protection etc., and will charge my devices at a known rate. Can't say any of those things about a random port built into a lamp, so I don't really trust those anyway TBH.

The thing is that while most people agree climate change is real, it's not clear at all what the actual damage to humanity will be. IME said hypothetical damage is hugely overblown by activists, who talk as if the end of humanity was certain.
Forgive me my lack of understanding of the englisch language, but I do not understand the distinction you make.

Hydroelectricity: Is this power you obtain by placing turbines behind a huge concrete wall of a large river? If so, how is the scenario of building a large concrete dam in the mountains where water is pumped up a hill to covert it into kinetic energy any more better?

I understand that hydroelectricity is used to supply the basic power need, say 80% and a water reservoir with turbines to cover power peak needs.

> For example, if Wyoming were truly represented proportionally then resource extraction would be freer to damage the Wyoming environment.

In theory this would appear to be true. But in practice, the opposite seems more common in history. Wyoming's government is more beholden to its rich and powerful interests, and has less power to resist their beck and call. Consequently resource extraction interests are able to behave in ways that a federal government may not (and in many cases, does not) tolerate.

One of the central roles of government is to add balance to the struggle between the interests of the majority and the power of existing wealth. The smaller and more local the government, the less ability it has to add this balance. My county could not possibly effectively taken on a multinational corporation that was or planned to act in ways against our collective interests. In fact, even my state is having problems doing that right now (but it is certainly in a better position than the county).

In a world of gentleman farmers and homesteads, perhaps local governments would be enough to mount a steadfast defence of the interests of the many over those of the few. But we live in a world of gigantic and almost unimaginably powerful corporations, and local (even state) governments are not effective tools when we need to bend their behavior to our will.

The problem of people feeling unrepresented within the government does not go away by subdividing things down to smaller units and thus allowing the State of Jefferson etc. to exist. It might help, somewhat, but it would not eliminate it. When views on, for example, the correct response to a public health emergency (or even the actual existence of a public health emergency), become sufficiently polarized and divergent, different sides in such a scenario are always going to feel unrepresented by whatever action/inaction a government takes.

In addition, it is not clear to me that actively encouraging The Great Sort by creating politically-motivated jurisdictions is a great idea for the long run.
Yes, in many cases. Assume that their real objective to is to quickly (1) score points for high-profile performative activism, and (2) vent their emotions.
> The round-trip energy efficiency of PSH varies between 70%–80%, with some sources claiming up to 87%.

For me, that sounds like quite good, given the capacity possibilities. We can always build tiered storage, with smaller, but more efficient tiers (e.g. batteries) used first and PSH when that's filled up or exhausted.
My first reaction was one of astonishment that the robbers tunnel is so close to the actual entrance and tunnel. If just some random location was chosen that was quite lucky. After some googling I guess there's still a lot of uncertainty.

They don't actually want to support you and are hoping you will give up. If they can make you choose not to interact with a human customer support specialist, that's more money in their pocket.
That report is interesting, but incomplete. Certainly there are diminishing returns on developing that last 80%. It's entirely possible that many of the locations are outright uneconomical to develop, possibly because they are hundreds of miles from the nearest significant civilization and would require enormous high voltage lines before they could be developed. Or maybe upstream of the location is a lot of people who would need to move first.
I think it's live sports and entertainment. Yeah, image quality will have to rise first. But being able to charge $10 for a seat at the 50 yard line at the Superbowl is too good to pass up. Add in some features that only VR can give, not just the live experience, and I think that's the ticket.
Lol, remember that time like a year ago when Facebook had redefined their company to chase some other thing of the moment that has nothing to do with the new thing they have totally redefined their company to chase.

Isn't it the case with almost every subscription service that there are aspects of it that you don't make use of? I feel like every subscription I have, from cellular to cable to Netflix, there's stuff I don't use that is part of the subscription. E.g., I don't watch horror movies, but apparently Netflix is still making them. Maybe I should take issue with it, but it just feels so mundane to me.
No. Crude prices are driving all the profitability and hide all deficiencies. With the current crude prices you can put a toddler in the C suite and BigOil.co will still be printing cash like crazy
Yep, same basic premise as GE-tracker with higher detail visualizations and fancier stats/feature engineering on top. Flipping to max cash became a pandemic hobby of mine, so I started off with a handful of homerolled spreadsheets/Jupyter notebooks to cover blind spots that I felt GE-tracker was missing, and eventually decided I could make a better version of the same recipe on my own.
I don’t see this form of protest as effective nor do I agree with the methods at all. However, we as human beings can only focus on so many things at a time. Sometimes something bad happens that causes us to suddenly become attuned to or care about an issue. This seems to happen a lot when people undergo a horrible tragedy like being a victim of a mass shooting or contracting ALS or getting breast cancer.

I don’t think it’s ridiculous at all that someone had something nearly bad happen to them (wildfires encroaching on their houses) and that caused them to become attuned to an issue and start taking a form of action to curb it (funding protestors).

Again, not the actions I would take and in my opinion they’re ineffective actions, but we shouldn’t guffaw at people for becoming attuned to something through tragedy or near tragedy.
Looks like it's hosting files for Newgrounds, so not terribly surprising that it's blocked by a corporate filter.
