It's like telling people you are burning a puppy with napalm "for demonstrating the effect" at an anti-viet-nam-war-protests. First people get crazy angry at you, then they change their attitude about napalm.

Completely unrelated, but I'm truly impressed that CNN offers a light version of their articles without any layout. This is really refreshing and a pleasure to read. I would like to see more websites do this and focus on the content.
I'd like to see a native Linux version this time, since UE5 supports it.

That said, original game with customized Aurora engine is very good. No big need for a remake, but if they'll make it fully open world it might be adding something interesting, besides simply improved graphics.
Likely the case
Apple is certainly at the top. Hell, even Meta/Amazon/Microsoft are more innovative than Google.
They're not annoyed that the post mentions VSCode. They're annoyed that, from their experience, only VSCode is being supported.
I'd love to hear about the process you went through to get something like this approved. I am very curious and slightly scared of the sort of red tape that is involved for a proposal that starts "I'd like to do something to the Great Pyramid," even if it's as innocuous as taking pictures. Or was it maybe a right place right time sort of thing where you were there with an existing scientific investigation and it was significantly simplified.
> The article indicates that the activists knew that the paintings would not be damaged, as there is a protective covering for the art. The quote:

all it takes is a single copy-cat to ruin a less protected piece.

their message is shocking and attention-grabbing, not responsible.

They won't take responsibility but when Joe-Bob runs into the next museum and legitimately destroys something whilst emulating their antics it will have been their fault for instigating this recent spree.
It's not hard to figure out what an unfamiliar (to you) product or forum community is about - by a bit of googling for the former and reading and participation for the latter. Maybe it's not your intent but you come off as if you're conducting some sort of interrogation which most people aren't all that keen on. It's also mentioned in the site guidelines:

oh thanks for reporting this. I will try floatingui. It looks pretty cool!
> You do realise that money was created to deal with a lack of trust,

No, it wasn't. Money was created as a proxy for trading value because of the cumbersome nature of barter. If we have a commonly agreed upon way to exchange value (money), I can paint your house and you can give me money and I can use that money to go buy food or other people's services. The only "trust" in that is the chosen form of money. Hence why state currencies are less trustworthy and something like Bitcoin (which requires no centralized intermediary) is more trustworthy.
Exactly, I despise these articles. I will never believe they are anything other than propaganda to trick people to want less money from work.

Oh so this guy is starting a company. Is there any chance that perhaps he cannot afford to pay people $500k like he was making. Now I guess he has some intrinsic motivation to promote lower pay so he can hire people to work for him cheap.

Pushbullet is directly competing against google's "messages" app. They have the exact same use case. Note that Messages does not display such prominent markers that it's uploading stuf to google server yada yada, probably because it is immune to play store verification.
People should understand that when uninterested or marginally interested people hear about these destructive stunts it make them NOT want to support their cause, whatever it is.
The question was rhetorical, because I knew it was 10 years in the past already.

I had Gmail for 15 years and switched to Hey in 2020. Email isn’t something I have to manage anymore, and the design is really nice. It’s not hacker-friendly as it has no API and isn’t accessible via an email standard (IMAP, etc.), and it’s $100/year, so isn’t for everyone.

I once knew an older man who'd been an only child. His mother died when he was ~6 months old, and his father when he was ~16 years old. Having a large family seemed to be his #1 goal in life. When he passed away, he had 6 kids, 9 grandkids, etc., etc.

The 3D scenes show a collaboration with women

The cards show a “notch on your belt”, which is something a lot of people are sensitive to and don’t want to perpetuate, when given the choice

So that’s what people are reacting to, not the mere presence of sexual encounters and explicitness at all

Said another way: Of the subset of people that are fine with explicit depictions in this medium, a broader subset of them want to depict more women as collaborators as opposed to prizes and collectibles. They found that depiction detracted from this particular series.
> I look forward us acknowledging that Zuck was merely lucky, not some visionary

Isn't that already acknowledged in the tech circles?
Your question taught me that Just-JS and Bun exist. Thanks for asking.
Don't know about Griffin, but Commerce and Main are pretty common in downtown cities. Commerce and Main is an intersection in downtown Houston.
Do you know the efficiency of using pumped storage? In other words, for every MW of electricity used to pump the water up the hill, how much do you get back in power generation when the water flows back down through a turbine? You will lose a bit of water to evaporation during this process, but it should be fairly negligible. Also all reservoirs lose some water by leakage into the ground. How does the efficiency compare to various battery storage techniques?
It's burned as fuel in a gas turbine to generate electricity. The process is similar to burning natural gas in turbines, but some equipment adjustments have to be made when running on hydrogen. The Delta project is starting with a 30/70 blend of hydrogen and natural gas, gradually stepping up to 100% hydrogen.

Siemens currently has turbines that can burn up to 75% hydrogen and is targeting 100% hydrogen by 2030:

https://www.siemens-energy.com/global/en/priorities/future-t...

General Electric has a variety of gas turbines, accepting 50% to 100% hydrogen in the fuel blend:

Mitsubishi claims to offer turbine operation on up to 100% hydrogen:

Surveys don't mean shit.
Same for Netflix. A basic UI like Popcorn time is all that most people need. Instead we get a situation where both the UI and content is randomized, constantly shuffled. The simplest of use cases are barely supported or completely missing.

It's not just incompetence, they are intentional dark patterns. Netflix doesn't want you to structurally browse their catalog in easy ways as you might conclude that it falls short. So it throws random things at you, auto-playing videos, etc. Giving the inflated impression that there's always something interesting for you.

Likewise, user reviews, an absolutely basic community feature, is simply not there. Because if it would be there, and assuming they are fair reviews, you could filter by rating. Which once again could reveal a lack of quality content. Best to mask that.

It's sad to consider that the output of hundreds of engineers and some very high-tech data science leads to something a single engineer in mum's basement could do better.
> Facebook has obviously just been seeking to maximize profit for their shareholders as possible .... Are you implying that ideology should be changed?

Not me.

But they are a poster child for greed destroying a fabulous business. They were on the verge of connecting every single person on the planet, becoming the hub of everybodie's communications.

And they threw it away for a bit of extra monetisation
I see where you're coming from, but do these require you to register? Do they need a billing address? Whats stopping someone from just getting a new one?
Is there any evidence that there's any causal link here? Like, it seems like to me it could just be the act of changing something — anything — and the output from review is just a roll of the dice. Sometimes you change something, and it's approved, but given the frequency with which these sorts of articles crop up on HN, I don't think I'd assume that the change necessarily meant anything more than "they changed it".

… of course, it would help build confidence that there is a causal link if Google would clearly articulate their reasons for rejection.
> And you suggest...?

I suggest not gluing your head to a painting because it a) does nothing for your cause and b) makes you look like a barbaric fuckwit.

> You had a chance to do something

Sorry, no one put you in charge of assigning guilt to me. No one put you in charge of anything.
Basically they are saying to stop putting your app on the app store and letting google take a large % of the app and letting your business be dependent on another business.

In this case the landlord is Google, and you are the sharecropper, giving a share (30%) to google to be allowed to use the play store.
? Anyone can submit a story to HN.
The strategy in question is, more generally, moving volatility in the shoulders of the distribution to the central region. It knowingly subjects us to worse-than-normal price movements in the stable regime so that price movements aren't as crazy when we go out to more extreme regimes.

The alternative would be to, well, not do that. Or any other of a number of volatility-controlling strategies. I don't think any of them are better, but there's always an alternative.
I don't know what zerohedge is. But I presume that was really witty.
Amazing advice and feedback here -- I'll be sure to share the thread with him later (midterm exams today!).
You can make anything anti-competitive.

Spotify doesn't offer an API to allow me to replace their payment system with mine where I would direct 100% of profits to artists. Because that is their revenue source.
Grew up in a mid size city that got rid of police department. Sherif calls would take 45 minutes to respond.

Place was a hell hole by the time we moved out.

Didn’t even move far. Just to city that had police. Was drastically better.
imo just-js and bun are too early to tell. They're in that stage where they're cool and people talk about them, but they haven't gotten to that stage where there's adoption and therefore real criticism. Basically bun/just-js are being judged on their potential, while Deno is starting to be judged on its reality.
there are many human ecosystems living below the dam though. Removing the dam means removing entire towns downstream in some cases.
> So much for the unchangeability of US government.

I didn't say it was "unchangeable," and ... well, that's obviously not true.

This is all about the difficulty of changing. My premise is that changes that push closer to the stated core principles of the founders are more likely to happen than others.

I wouldn't say rigidity "works" in this case, as several generations of slaves and women and other minorities might attest. Had we been more open to change in the spirit of the constitution rather than the word, perhaps there'd be less resistance.
I think you may be right. Most people don't get to experience fine art except in reproductions, so for most people the physical destruction of all the originals takes nothing from their experiences.

People who do love and adore fine art are not limited to the super-rich (this was after all on public display), but I bet it cuts the super rich who can afford to hang originals on their bedroom walls a little deeper than most.

That said, I do know I'm not normal in many ways, perhaps more people than I assume care about originals.

Isn’t that unethical though? Preserving the right to make arbitrary decisions and favor some people over others? Most of the entire human history of conflict seems to be because of this reason of arbitrary unfairness.
In that case I'm not sure I'd use a route package either. If it is very simple, you can create separate files for each page and include them based on the path or query string. Few (or 0) dependencies can also be an advantage, as it will be easier to update and maintain

Yes because out of the billions Apple makes, the few pennies that Lightning makes is really meaningful.

My issue is not the USB C mandate, it’s the usual incompetence of the EUs half way thought out laws.

If you are going to mandate a standard, mandate a good one - including minimum data transfer, power delivery and video - all parts of the standard.
>> doing effectively no damage since the art is all behind glass

There was an interview with the director of the london museum where other attacks took place recently and he said that what these people don't realize is that as a result of this action museum will need to spend few hundred thousand pounds in security over the next few years(hire few extra guards and pay their salaries). It's money which could be used so much better. The damage this does to the museum is huge, even if the painting isn't affected.

>>They're keeping it in the public consciousness

The only thing they are keeping in public conciousness is how incredible dicks they are being and how their organisation deserves literally zero support.
Yep. We are reminded of Democrats leveraging an MIT economist to ram the Obamacare Act through Congress with obfuscated and funny mathematics.

Now, it is twice the cost of health premium than before (after adjusting for inflation) and medical community is making banks.

If they (economists) cannot perform a simple but recreatable scenario, they should not be writing a policy.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2014/11/republican-anger...
I pondered that myself and then realized we’d intersected on some security of iMessage stuff the other day, so it’s reasonable for them to ask “is this a marketing shill?”. Which to be clear I’m not, I think this stuff is interesting, just as I think the Google security posts are.

(I just googled and it does look like it’s not as obvious anymore, apparently DJ Olliej is much more popular :D)
Who cares if you prefer IAP? Use IAP then. The discussion is not that IAP is bad, the discussion is that it's the only option, hence no option. You can't even talk of other options.
Sharecropping originally refers to a process where a landowner would let people farm their land in exchange for a portion of the yield. It has negative associations with post-slavery exploitation of black farmers as well as poor farmers in general in the 1800s and early 1900s. In this setting, it's being used to compare the practice of hosting and selling your app on someone else's platform, with those same connotations of exploitation.
Can't generate revenue without a product to sell. I'd say that's pretty direct. And before you come back and go spoken like a developer. Clearly the most successful businesses and business people in history agree with my assessment, it's why an engineers total comp is so high at actual tech companies.
From that paper:

We find that the kingdoms of life concentrate at different locations on the planet; plants (≈450 Gt C, the dominant kingdom) are primarily terrestrial, whereas animals (≈2 Gt C) are mainly marine, and bacteria (≈70 Gt C) and archaea (≈7 Gt C) are predominantly located in deep subsurface environments.
I was interpreting the hypothetical "if the opposition took over my body and made me do stuff" to imply that they believed that the art damagers were not really environmentalists but actually trying to discredit them by making environmentalists look crazy, but maybe they just meant "don't do stuff that will discredit your cause".
So basically all products are shit. Gotcha. Seems like a sound model.

"If you want to make your wares visible in my sphere, find ways to make these appearances interesting, original, inventive and sufficiently unobtrusive"

Yeah, that's also called advertising. Sorry.
I'm not saying they're "all in on it" in some kind of shadow-y cabal smoke and mirrors kind of conspiracy. It's not a cooperative of any kind of group, society, gathering, etc. etc. etc.

It's an absolutely giant, complex system that has enough opportunities in the works for humans - or groups of humans running corporations/NGOs/research groups - to exploit for personal profit/power/etc. meaning the end-goals are never truly achieved.

You have no recourse to your government for the decisions it makes - sure, you can vote - but your vote has such little power compared to the effort required to make meaningful decisions in society at large. Violence is out of the question legally, though the government sure likes to be violent towards its people when they want something from you.

I believe it's simply not possible for the government to simultaneously keep and grow its power and take complete care of its citizens. Governments are corporations with customers that are forced to buy products (road access, schooling, healthcare, as some examples) from them at the rate the government chooses at the service level they choose. You have no other options. Good luck with trying to change it when there's so many people all fighting amongst each other over inane things compared to this all-encompassing problem of the climate, like 'critical race theory', 'universal basic income', or 'building a wall'.

If we've already gone past the turning point as you have suggested with credible evidence, then why bother pushing so hard? We've already ruined the earth. Why not make things as comfortable as we can for the ones that are still around?

Bit of a defeatist attitude to take, but it seems like that's where it's going to inevitably if the climate scientists are right.

I don't know - I'd rather live in relative comfort because I owe nothing to the people of the future, and I wouldn't expect people in the past to owe me anything either...
Yep, it loads and ticks a bit slowly.

I want to move to Jellyfin, but the network effect is strong for me. I'm in a pool of about 10 of my former coworkers and we've all pooled our Plexes together for years. Moving to Jellyfin would cause me to lose access to that.
PV should enable distributed power generation. I'm not saying grid storage, grid generation, and grid hydro isn't needed, but home solar should be a strong focus of policy.

The cost differentials are basically all down to labor, which is generally locally captured.

The "long supply chain" of batteries isn't true. We don't need cobalt or nickel for grid. Sodium Ion is going into mass production in China, and LFP is topping 200 wh/kg. Hell,you don't need cobalt or nickel for EVs anymore, a 300-400 mile car should be easily doable with the current state of the art LFP, and 200-300 doable with sodium ion.

Hydro storage is very very efficient (thanks to all the engineering that went into hydro dams), I think it's in the 90%+ for efficiency. It definitely should be a major part of our energy plans, but this thread makes it seem like it's the only practical way, and uses pumped hydrogen as a straw man competitor.

We need grid wind, gridsolar, geothermal, keep the nuclear, hydro, home solar, home storage, chemical batteries ... all of it. But the cost profile of wind/solar is already better than natural gas turbine, and I'm hoping wind/solar+batteries will pass everything in 5 years with sodium ion, but I don't have numbers on that.

This two weeks storage is ridiculous. With good home solar buildout, that is not needed.
> I feel like those assertions are more socially-founded opinions than technically-backed arguments

You think the complaints about rickety, unintuitive syntax are "socially founded"? I can't think of another language that has so many pointless syntax issues every time I revisit it. I haven't seen a line of Scheme in over a decade, and I'm still fairly sure I could write a simple if condition with less likelihood of getting it wrong than Bash.

I came at it from the other end, writing complex shell scripts for years because of the intuition that python would be overkill. But there was a moment when I realized how irrational this was: shell languages are enough of a garbage fire that Python was trivially the better choice for my scripts the minute flow control enters the picture.

Which means you have to actually have discernment and encourages the individual to build long-term relationships, not transactional ones.

It's a bit abstract/esoteric, but using something like Bitcoin would re-humanize commerce vs the increasingly transactional nature of the world enabled by fiat/printing.
It's also a really good time to get into the remake business, tech-wise. We have a bunch of fresh new consoles optimized for the latest game engines, and tons of ML-based upscaling tech to play with. If you make a well-designed remake of your game optimized for solid-state storage, you should have a version that lasts a couple decades into the future.
Now that HTTPS is everywhere and crypto.getRandomValues provides a secure RNG I think most of the concerns are mitigated.
No it's mostly the chemical energy in the stored hydrogen, pressure is only a small part of it (though they might insert some expander turbine somewhere in there). Pretty similar to how you'd rate a natural gas storage facility.
I'm going to be upfront and say that I'm glad it was protected, but that doesn't make it right. If you are an average person, you probably read this headline and did not envision the art being behind glass. Your first thought was probably intrigue about what the damage looked like, and then hoping the damage can be reversed.

If you are an activist, or you condone this kind of thing, it is important to realize that the average person is not going to delve any farther into this story in order to give the activists the benefit of the doubt. They are going to be upset that an innocent work of art was vandalized - even if it wasn't actually harmed in any way. They will associate the cause with unhinged and irrational people.
I assume the police have a GPS in their car, as well as likely know the area (especially since high crime areas are often excessively patrolled, for better or worse).
