The EU are useless bureaucrats that can never and will never organise anything without spending years debating it and billions implementing it.

The disguting EU are attacking Musk by deciding to implement this; funding, coordinating, building and launching this in 11 days. Oh and a personal f'you to google as they launched a youtube clone too...

I admire people who can hold opposing opinions at the same time, but lets face it these both cant be true.

I propse a more likely explanation, which is actually supportive of the Musk agenda (oh how inconvenient). Seeing Trump banned from Twitter made politicians realise they shouldnt be all in on the whims of "content moderators" at a corporation in another country.

Or you could just read about the programme that produced it ... https://ec.europa.eu/info/departments/informatics/open-sourc...
> I also think that some people under RCV will be worse off than other people, and they will be different people to those who were worse off under FPTP.

I think I see what you are saying. Essentially the "effort ceiling" for FPTP is very low - everybody gets a single choice. But RCV raises the ceiling, so that high-effort voters have more power than low-effort voters (people who still only put a single choice). This gives advantage to people who have the time and resources to research candidates more thoroughly and make more detailed votes
Your families, relatives, and friends don't want to see your vacation photos. In fact, they absolutely, completely, hate it.

If the need arises, you can send them a zip file, yes. Or upload them on Dropbox. Or share a link from Apple or Google Photos (both offer the option).
I find AppleScript very useful for this. I script the text input, menu items, and timings like this:

menuItem("Format:Bold", 0.2)

type("Efficient")

Pareto's law really isn't a law.

You think that the world is full of situations where 80% of the payoff comes from 20% of the work/complexity/whatever?

I tell you that, equally, the world is full of situations where you get 0% of the payoff unless you've done 100% of the work.

That latter observation is just as true as the former, but it won't make anyone into a best-selling business book author or motivational speaker, as it doesn't help with cognitive dissonance reduction when reflecting upon laziness and ineptitude, as Pareto's law does.
You will still find small specialized instances however it get popular globally.

I have characterized it as impersonation because this is exactly what has been done in this case.

It's funny that you mention The Onion, because they are impersonating nobody since there is no legitimate news outlet named "The Onion". Their articles might mimick the writing style of legitimate ones, but they are not claiming to be CNN or Fox.
The Guardian has about 4 different crosswords of various types. Your final sentence makes me think you might be talking about the cryptic ones which have their own hidden rules for how a clue works that no one explains for some reason.

Seems purposefully obscure to me, though I enjoy them and make a point of explaining there's rules to anyone who shows some interest.

Googling now, it seems the guardian has a blog for beginners that covers this:

>You: Everything is just a phase and will soon pass.

Came here to say this.

Kids go through phases like not sleeping well for weeks on end. It will pass. You'll go through periods where it's easy and the kids sleep through the night. This too will pass.
Viewing the examples generally, the second one better communicates hierarchy at the cost of an extra line. The arguments are all grouped together visually and without distraction, while in the first example the first argument gets muddled with the function name. Why? To save a line break?
> ...which would indicate they make those there and have no issues fulfilling orders currently.

Based on FY22 total net sales[1], the entire Mac category accounted for 10.2%, whereas iPhone category accounted for 52.1%.

In other words, if iPhone production volume were reduced by just -10% of FY22 levels going into the holidays, that would be equivalent to half of Mac revenue!

The press release was making forward-looking statements so you may be correct, but this thought experiment suggests that even if they were experiencing Mac throughput issues, it's almost irrelevant if the same facility is being shared with iPhone production.

Columbia Records managed to mess up a number of live albums while uploading them for digital distribution by leaving out the transitions between the individual tracks.

In each instance I've come across this problem (mainly various Bob Dylan albums so far), it turned out that on the actual CDs, the affected portion had been mastered as part of the pre-gap (i.e. the bit where a hardware CD player will show a negative timecode counting back up to 00:00), so as silly as it sounds, it almost feels like they themselves simply ripped the CDs in order to upload them for digital downloads and streaming, and somehow managed to mess up the process and discard the pre-gap bits.

Though unlike your example at least in that case the CDs are still in print, so for now you're not completely stuck there…

I read that if they did this today, it wouldn't make a difference, it's too late to recover from now, mathematical impossibility.

The majority of their population is beyond the child bearing age so it's downhill from here no matter what policies they put in place, there's going to be a major population crash for them in the next 30 years.

Heh, I'm actually finding MS Word a good source for autocorrect ideas.
And to remember measuring and controlling temperatures is pretty recent development. When cooking with wood there really wasn't a good way to get consistent temperatures. Neither on it, on stove or in oven. Thus water boiling always at nearly same temperature in same location was very handy.
> Came to a freedom respecting alternative to Twitter.

don't mistake this as a nitpick, but this is just your opinion on what the fediverse is. not everyone comes here for the same reason as you.

sharing any space means getting along with your neighbors. if you're pissing off the established culture of whatever server you're joining, that's on you: maybe join a community that's more aligned with you next time. if you're pissing off your neighbors on a different server, it's reasonably healthy for them to cut ties with you. if this bothers you and you want to remain neighbors, then present yourself to them as the type of neighbor they would want. that's just what it means to be in society.

> Mainly I'm interested in the two fediverses, as a reflection of society.

there's definitely _way_ more than two clusters/rifts in the fediverse. on the political front, i'm guessing you haven't encountered the anarchist servers yet, at least (maybe because they're less interested in engaging in the overplayed left v.s. right fights).
> Once there's no real reason for them to play nice with the west, we're going to see more problems.

What's new? They're not playing nice since Xi took over.
> natural immunity from exposure

Note that you can't get immunity from exposure without .. being exposed, which means you get the side effects of exposure.
Nice to see the granularity of moderating servers; had not look at the subject and was kind of afraid that if it was only on/off then you might end up with a disconnected fediverse.
You said parody is never confusing. I have an anecdote about how it can be. My experience is a common one.

I'd appreciate hearing an argument for this being impersonation rather than hearing it repeatedly asserted, as if it weren't a fact in dispute.
Is comedy about vulnerable not allowed in your church?
Looks interesting but rather clunky when you are from one instance and want to comment or boost content from another instance - not as seemless as I had expected.

I thought there was a centralized identity server where all instances connected to like Discord but each instance seems like standalone island in the great big sea.
this is really clever! I've put something together like this but much heavier with Svelte. Love this approach!
No but they should be, if the regime were able to actually engage in useful dialogue and stop crapping on about Taiwan, they'd probably get access to better modern medicines. They can't because the only thing that is keeping them in power is fear and lies.
There's an irony in writing so much about a supposed lack of interest.
I use an iPhone. Many of my mates, colleagues and business partners use iPhones. These folks are located in Europe, Asia and Latin America.

We all use Whatsapp to discuss everything, from business to personal stuff to memes. I even use Whatsapp calling with some of my friends and colleagues in the USA. My friends circle has a monthly ritual of chatting through Whatsapp group call. I'm also a part of 3 Whatsapp groups to discuss exclusively football, as well as 5 Whatsapp groups for business networking (white shoe finance).

If Zuck were to get pissed and take down Whatsapp from the Apple Store, I know for a fact that a number of my colleagues would immediately buy an Android phone right off the bat, instead of getting Signal or Telegram. I might personally go the Signal option, but without the network effects, I would be driven straight back to Android. That would mean Apple directly losing an entire set of premium customers in markets outside USA and China.

Fun fact:- OPEC dealings are conducted over Whatsapp.
There is a lesson here for commenters to Show HN too. It is not uncommon to see someone sharing their post with the HN community here, then someone posts a dismissive comment and that quickly gets upvoted to the top.

That's a hard fail right there - from a gullible disinfo peddler. No critical thinking skills.
Makes sense, and I had some close encounters with pedestrians crossing bike lanes behind a corner and without looking (disk breaks saved me a couple of times there).

And if you're going around fast bikes, I agree 100%. However in my city center, bike speeds are fairly slow. You can speed but you'll hit a red-light or a crossing tramway so frequently that it doesn't matter.
Go to a grocery store for a prepaid $10 Visa card, or privacy.com, or any of the thousand other services that generate virtual cards, and explain to me how you verify identity behind those.

It’s not used for verification because credit card transactions don’t actually carry the information necessary to verify it. Even an actual physical card does not verify the name on it during transactions.
You can burn yourself with an oven or a hob. In fact a kitchen is full of ways to maim yourself. So why single out the microwave? A microwave is a tool, tools can be unsafe if used improperly.
First wanted to ask if that time is in minutes, days or years... but it actually wouldn't matter that much...
You're right, it was late, I meant anthropologists.

So in your opinion CEOs', shareholders', and investors' compensations closely match their contributions, but 21-year-old college graduates' who make 300k are paid too much for their contributions? What yardstick are you using for measuring "contributions" here?
1) Verifying an address is not the same as verifying an identity.

2) Your credit card billing info does mostly include your address. It does not however include your name. Your address is (mostly) validated by the transaction, your name is not at all.
You can't post something like that without screenshots. It's against Internet law.
People attach different levels of importance to different parts of their identity. While some trans people may wish to only state their gender, or not even their gender, when introducing themselves to find community, for some other people being trans is an important part of their experience, and they would like to share it in order to make it easier for other trans or queer people to connect with them.
It might depend on country, but typically it's 30 MILES per hour or 50 KILOMETERS per hour, which are roughly equivalent and match default speed limits on most European roads.

Yes. In most cases, yes. And possibly.
Show HN: I made free web-app for inventory counts
Hello Everyone! I would like to present my side-project I've been working on since some time. If you are running e-commerce store, warehouse(s) or other kind of business where you have to deal with inventory levels/accuracy it may come handy for you. Basically it's a totally free web application which allows you to perform inventory counts :) Let me know what you think - I would be glad to help if the need arises!
To be completely fair they were mostly just the drug dealers, not the drug addicts.

That being said my Russian friend who moved to the EU a few years ago was shocked with the prices of fuels around here and promptly sold her 20yo Camry, which was quite the gas guzzler by EU standards.

Fuel is cheap in Russia and for Moscovites like her doubly so.
Still need a big speakers to generate it, physics don't just go away. Smaller than the instrument but still.

Also it's not about generating tone but all the modulations and harmonics physical instruments produce. While you can do just as complex sounds digitally, people like all the analog imperfections and inconsistencies

Eh, Boston, Chicago, DC, et al. The large metropolitan areas of the US rely heavily on public transit. The areas that adopt that “only for poor people” are generally the mid-tier cities in places like the Midwest or central plains were everything is built around the car.
What was emotional about that response? You're acting like I'm breaking down, weeping at the sight of some emails in my inbox. When I'm clearly just saying that they've deprioritised handling sincere complaints, and now whatever humans that remain are chasing down some jokes about a very silly man in a very silly situation.
I bumped into this in safari on ios. Okay, I could try
to follow this. I have the mastodon app.

https://social.network.europa.eu/public

Copied and pasted the first handle I could find. It was cumbersome since it is also a link so long pressing on it initiates link actions, I have to start in a location elsewhere and manually narrow down the selection afterwards.

But oh, this is a server with many users, how do I follow them all? Copy paste all the handles by hand?

These are the kinds of UX use cases that need to be solved at a bare minimum.
not sure why you are downvoted. These platforms are social media.
I font feel criticizing or mentioning reddit breaks the HN rules.
> Your parents deserve credit here for that great response.

Well, half a great response

No way I would tell my kids to take up with some a-hole online that is more interested in trolling than anything else
The issue is impersonation and confusion, not parody. A significant fraction of the population, especially infrequent Twitter users, are not aware of the display name vs. handle distinction. So if someone has a blue check, the same profile picture, and the display name of another user, they are creating confusion about the source of the statement in question.

With the Onion or the Babylon Bee, they are "reporting" crazy-sounding stories with their own name and account, and thus with their attached reputation as established satire sites. That's an important distinction, in my opinion.

> it just looked like an Elon Musk tweet with a blue checkmark (except for the incorrect @).

Honestly this should have been the bannable offense. The checkmark was meant to guaranteed that you are who your claims to be (without having to check the @ on a side channel). If you intentionally use it for deceit then what is the point?

Personally I dislike both Musk and Twitter, but I hope (and also doubt) that Twitter keeps an adequate level of user verification for the checkmarks.

Well an iPhone SE is €560, and an iPhone 14 is €1020 (basically the same amount of USD, we're at parity now).

A Samsung A13 is €156, a Xiaomi 9A is €100, a Google Pixel 6A is €365, a Samsung A32 is €250...

So yes Apple is significantly more expensive than most of the Android phones, at least looking at the ones that sell well.

Apart from that is Barilla one of those certain companies? I'm guessing no, so it's not like they gain much from helping their customers save energy. Except maybe if people want to save energy by not cooking noodles, and Barilla doesn't want to lose those customers.

Although honestly I wouldn't know what else to cook that uses less energy. Rice cooks for even longer, although less water is heated here.
Hi all, founder at Budibase here (open source low-code platform). We've made a lot of progress over the past year (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29242478), and HN has played a pivot role in that progress - we certainly wouldn't be here without all of you!

After launching 1.0, we spent around a year making the platform more extensible - public API, custom components, new JS binding, and a lot more. This has went down well with the community and we've seen 50 new plugins get built in the last month.

Today, we have over 50,000 users, a growing community ~ 16k Github stars, and some great use cases. But we are still so far from changing how teams build internal tools and speed-up workflows. This new round of funding will help us continue with our mission and help teams connect and action their data easier. If you have any feedback, questions or ideas on how we can improve the product, please do let me know in the comments.

>Does this new scrubber material make it feasible to reduce the CO2 from the atmosphere, or will it be more economical to deal with the symptoms of high CO2 levels?

The low tech solution for scrubbing C02 from the atmosphere is to get more plants absorbing it and prevent the plant decomposition back to CO2 or even worse to methane. Some of the agricultural waste may be just buried in the fields helping to build the organic matter in the soil, but it would be hard to avoid any CH4 emissions doing it. Just check any landfill with buried organic matter and some sipping in water. One can try to use pyrolysis and get charcoal. This would not be 100% emissions free (CO, CO2, CH4 etc.).

The main problem with the above is that collecting wood/straw/etc. transporting and then processing it also requires energy, at least on land. Converting the millions of agro machines to run on batteries or hydrogen would not be carbon neutral either.

Supposedly if we fertilize patches of the oceans the dead algae will nicely sink to the bottom not to be release CO2 for centuries.
You're basically paying for well-integrated software (sometimes even exclusive), and the assurance that it's 100% legal. So, in a sense, yes.
Show HN: I built a to-do app that lets you only have five tasks
Hi Guys,

I'm Spencer, I recently built Five to help me prioritize my day and stop me from making overwhelming to-do lists.

Five is a very simple app, you can only have Five outstanding tasks, and until you complete one you cannot add more.

Before Five, I would overwhelm my to-do lists with an endless amount of tasks, to the point where I needed to delete them. I had stopped keeping a to-do list completely before this app.

The app has helped me manage my ADHD by forcing me to priortize and complete tasks so I can add more, I am also better able to say no to new tasks now. It has also meant that I need to make the tasks small enough I can actually complete them, to be able to add new tasks to my list.

I built the app quickly and got it live because I think others could benefit from the concept of limiting your to-list like this. It currently is available on iPhone (iOS16+) only as I could build quickly that way using the latest features of SwiftUI. I build in public can you follow me on twitter for updates: https://twitter.com/Swaldy

You can see the app in the app store here: https://apple.co/3EmSwlz
