Because large corporations work together to ensure their mutual longevity by monopolizing the market and ensuring cheaper alternatives never make it to the market.

Nothing new under the sun.

If there was a tire that never wore our, would it be manufactured?

If there was a simple, cheap cancer treatment, would all associated businesses that profit from the treatment of cancer shut down?

If internet could be offered at 10x for the speed, for 1/10th the cost, would it be? Only if the incentives line up for the dominant player(s).

It is true that prescription (Rx) and over the counter (OTC) devices have different requirements, particularly with respect to the instructions for use, and many companies choose to pursue Rx first before expanding to OTC down the line because of this or for unrelated business and marketing reasons. That a product lands in Rx does not necessarily mean that FDA would not be supportive of OTC. FDA has an FAQ on switching from Rx to OTC here: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/products-and-medical-pro...
Redox shines in complex multi-party interoperability projects. They have an impressive number of pre-existing integrations with providers and payers. They also provide professional services to navigate last mile connectivity details. If you need to integrate with a 3rd party immediately, then Redox is a great choice.

Medplum has a number of interoperability features: FHIR and HL7 endpoints, and developer tools to store and manipulate the data as needed. But our integrations are more "DIY" and developer focused.

At this point, everything running in production is 100% open source, and we don't have any plans for proprietary code.
That you find it useful doesn't make it not an invasion of privacy.
> In no way does my use of an Apple device act as an open door for anyone else.

Sure, as long as your definition of "anyone else" excludes the NSA, FIVE EYES, China, anyone distributing Pegasus, Akamai and the rest of Apple's contractors.
Netflix is naturally afraid of giving Apple, a trillion dollar competitor, access to their viewing data and help accelerate Apple's growth in the area.
Spot on. The bigger question is how you lasted a decade? A year of that of that promo and metrics driven culture churn was enough for me.
But the free market dictated that they do because that's exactly the downside of their use of a crypto coin.

How many exchanges will need to go under for the market to decide that isn't a great way to operate one? How much educating of users/customers will it take?
There are two types of people: Those who have used TikTok, and those who haven't (but are nevertheless engaged in a full-on satanic panic / red scare over it).

I'm trying to get off of hackernews during the day. I'm thinking about just having some other reading material by my side, like an academic paper or a book to work through when I need to take a break.

We'll see how it goes. I just don't need to be checking hackernews as often as I do.
concept art is fine just as long as you go in with the right expectations for what the job actually is. also if you already have a technical background there is nothing stopping you from finding a marriage between both of your skillsets and working on smaller, more creatively fulfilling games.
Bingo. Every argument made against it applies to the rest of them, it’s just beating them at their own game.

Except for one: it comes from China. Some people will admit that this is their problem with it, many pretend the app itself is somehow especially evil. Which is silly of course.
For me it wasn't just about money, I really disliked the process of going to Netflix and browsing their trash piles for 40 minutes before deciding to give up and go to bed.
Heavy taxes, plain packaging and other measures helped halve tobacco consumption over some 16 years in Australia. I have no issue with poor people having better mental and lung health.
I've used several of them. I wouldn't like to use any of them now except Lisp, which of course is still going strong.

Two that I loved at the time were Algol68 and SNOBOL. Algol68 was so sophisticated for its time but I'm not aware of any advantages over modern languages. SNOBOL was lots of fun to write, but I found it write-only.
Every webapp with typeahead functionality does it. How is this any different?
I've had great experience with Zenni for single-vision prescriptions, but when I graduated to progressive (i.e. bifocal) lenses, the Zenni lenses were terrible and I couldn't use them. Not sure if it was the frame fit, or poor PD measuring on my part, but I tried twice and both times I couldn't use them.

The glasses I got from my optometrist are much better, at 3X - 4X the price of Zenni.
I wonder where it is going to. I was thinking of my favorite concept artists and what it means for them. Probably they can churn out 10x the work, and the role becomes more of curation, as in, scanning and judging the work put out by SD.

They probably still going to adapt the work to fit their needs, and so companies probably still want actual artists for entertainment and artistic purposes.

Small companies (and individuals) probably can use it to circumvent costly stock images all together, so the lower tier photographers/artists there gonna have a problem.
There’s also thread local storage though I don’t know wether the stack sits on it.
Regarding books, most of the books I read recently came from Reddit on /r/suggestmeabook - I am lazy, I just search for “page turner” on the sub, but I also like browsing and seeing people asking for subjects I wouldn’t have thought of.

If the "only thing" you can conlcude is user error, you must be unfamiliar with the insane amount of ambient telemetry iOS/MacOS collects even when disabling analytics (OCSP ring a bell?)
The biggest database performance problem that I have seen time and time again over the 20+ years I've been using sql databases now is caused by people not understanding that databases are relational (ie designed to perform efficiently over tables, not individual rows) and so running code that essentially causes hundreds/thousands of individual queries where they could just do one big query. Any time you are doing a select query in a loop you should sit down and take a long hard look at your code.

Almost always

Do big expensive slow query to get everything I need in one hit
for each row of result
do something with it

is going to be much faster than

for each thing in some collection in my program
get the database row that corresponds to just that one thing
do something with it

Round trip io, query parse time, cache effects etc are just going to totally destroy the performance of the second one, and optimising the db or programming language perf is going to do almost nothing to improve things if you're doing it this way. Lots of ORM type abstraction layers make it hard sometimes to see that's what you're doing, so people blame db performance but they're actually doing an insanely inefficient algorithm.

My biggest win ever from this was taking an 8 hour operation down to 15s just by moving some sql out of a loop as per the above.
Android manufacturers also started beveling their phone corners after Apple made it popular, not that it made the phones easier to hold or easier to manufacture. It might be hard to imagine, I know, but sometimes Apple makes the wrong decision.
Right. Or what atoms look like.

Atoms don't look like the stereotypical depiction. I remember in my high school chemistry class, our teacher specifically said that atoms were not like this but for teaching at our level, it was fine, but to know that orbits are not like this.

I feel it is crucial that teachers explicitely add the caveat that the explanation is a simplification. It's a whole lot easier to add new info if you know things area simplification, rather than a cast in stone model.

We can use above comment as an example. I disagree with GP, my experience has been totally opposite lately on HN. That's genuine and not trying to evoke rage or what-have-you. Sometimes, I poke to see what the opposing views are. X is all the rage right now. So, if there is a thread about it, I'll ask or point to all the ways you can shoot yourself in the foot with X.
I am wholly amused by the fact that you write your disappointment in a comment that is consumable faster than a TikTok video.

The same goes for the person replying to your comment sharing in your flabbergast.
B and C are perfectly fair game for a government to attempt to prevent, regulate, and prosecute in my book.

I don't think anyone has an inherent right to take advantage of people's ignorance solely for their own profit even if those people "deserve what they get." We make plenty of other ways of abusing people illegal, why allow that one?
Rails Core team
member working at Shopify here.

You seem to be misinterpreting what we’re doing at Shopify. We pretty much never work on the product or anything like that, and we don’t go around the app chasing perf issues either.

At best we work on the infra or dev tools to encourage or enforce better patterns, or sometimes in some kind of support capacity for teams having Ruby or Rails specific issues, but Shopify would do fine without us.

We’re mostly here to ensure Rails and the Ruby ecosystem Shopify heavily depends on is maintained and healthy.

Now maybe you need to tier talent to scale a Rails infra (I don’t think so), but Shopify’s presence in the Rails or Ruby core teams is no indication of that.
The popularity does not surprise me considering the popularity of reality tv shows.

It seems completely alien to me to watch a scripted show that pretends to be real, and enjoy it. But people eat it up.

And people eat up all the fake stuff in TikTok.
You can justify a lot of crazy behavior with "we need it to improve our product", that doesn't make it inherently ethical though.
One of the most complex Medplum projects is a large multi-party lab integration. We followed the US Core Lab Profile (https://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition-us-core-obs...). We not only represented the labs results in FHIR (ServiceRequest, Observation, DiagnosticReport), we also represented the full lab catalog (ObservationDefinition, ActivityDefinition, PlanDefinition).

Time after time, stakeholders would raise new requirements -- how do we model pregnancy status? how do we model multi-step lab tests? how do we model contextualized reference ranges? Time after time, the FHIR schema had a clear answer.

That goes a long way to simplifying and streamlining multi-party integrations, and cuts out a lot of wasted time trying to reinvent everything from scratch.

You can get glasses from Zenni for under $10 (their website says they start at $6.95), you'd have a hard time beating their price with DIY, gas station sun glasses cost more than that around here. Of course, at that price you're not getting the lightest lenses, or coatings, but you're probably not getting that with DIY either.
That it's on your own app where you anyway know exactly which backend endpoint has been called by the user does.

I really don't get the outrage about that, it's something that has existed for 15 or 20 years at least and is used a lot on most websites you go on.

What private information do you think is sent to the vendor that would not be otherwise?
>the sameness of it.

the skills required to do entertainment design are broad enough that they give you access to a pretty wide range of jobs across multiple industries. if you get bored of being a render monkey, it's really not hard at all to switch to something like storyboarding or color scripting.

I built a Mobile workstation out of an old dslr tripod after I saw one on Amazon (0). Game changer for me.

I can use it sitting down like a traditional desk, or standing up. Occasionally I bring it all the way down and squat in front of it. Surprisingly challenging.

It packs rather slim but it’s not as fancy as the Amazon version

Israel is not a terrorist state. That's ridiculous.
There is some of that for sure but fundamental things like software dependencies change so frequently in this industry such that any code you ship has a long and unpredictable tail of maintenance work, so you end up spending a lot of your time doing things like ensuring your code doesn't call broken/deprecated APIs or migrating away from EOL'd database versions just to keep the lights on. I think we SWEs end up creating lots of work for each other.
But they're typically not fortifications by definition.
I'm not sure you thought this through... Apple does not care about your privacy if they are willing to sell it for $12 Billion. I don't have an iPhone, and I never complained about them. To be honest, it's not clear that you even read my message at all. For context, I wrote that comment in a different thread and it got moved here: see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33527500
My father was a physicist, working for Westinghouse for many years when they did R&D in phosphors & other lighting. When I was a kid in the 60's he had a combination darkroom and chemistry lab in our basement. Every Sunday afternoon was dedicated to a chemistry demonstration. We kids were mostly interested in the experiments that went boom, of course. He had a shelf of chemicals of all sorts; liquid mercury, various acids, you name it. I guess he just "borrowed" them from his lab at the office. We would make hydrogen balloons by mixing zinc with hydrochloric acid in an empty coke bottle. We would grew walnut sized crystals of copper sulphate and other molecules. He bought a giant Fresnel lens from Edmund Scientific that we would use to melt lead using just the sun.
When I became a father I would do things like the ammonium dichromate volcano for my kids; now you can't even buy that stuff anymore without being suspected of terrorism.
Actually-educational things for kids haven't gone away entirely, though they've certainly changed shape. There are a lot of kids and teenager related products around programming and microcontroller-related hobby projects that teach and require deeper understanding of the concepts. Building a radio, on the other hand, when AM/FM radio is now 90-100 years old instead of 20-30... that wouldn't interest me nearly as much anyway.

At the extreme end of "kids today" (ok, ten years ago), you have Palmer Luckey building VR headsets.

Does anyone have figures on what percentage of 1950s kids were using those sophisticated chemistry or radio kits?
Sure. The WaPo article is a call to make "guys" be gender neutral.

However, kgwgk's comment appears to be that "guys" now is gender neutral.

And it demonstrably has widespread non-gender-neutral uses.

Since you want to use the descriptive approach, if enough people think that "guys" is a microaggression, then doesn't that make it so?
I think of all the tech I use that could track me, I’m most OK with the Kindle. All my books come from Libby so the Library Industrial Complex also knows.
For me CSP is enough because the apps I need to trust only have one hash. So I do it manually. I will try to switch over to SXG trusting a signer is easier than having a list of trusted hashes, do you know if there some way to require/verify it that is visible on mobile?

Web Packaging seems to be vaporware to some extent, and I need something that works now.

User content, what does that even mean?

Search and browsing history is likely just from within the app, I don't see how they would get it from elsewhere.
Few days was a random guess really haha. There was that study where they found people's vision flipped after a week of wearing goggles that project the world upside down. Interesting to hear it's such a complex skill. I suppose I've never really used my sense of hearing to its full potential.
I killed off Facebook and Twitter years ago, but opted out of the news for the most part when the pandemic kicked off.

I don't really intend to go back.

I skim enough to get a grasp of what's going on about once or twice a day (a la reading the evening paper of yore) but tend to stick to aggregated/curated sources and investigate personal curiosity rather than succumbing to salaciousness and surface-deep echo chambered "news" content about some dumb tweet from some misguided soul.

I am a lighter man, but part of me began to wonder what the cost was: will society pass me by? The longer I have spent operating in this fashion, the less I care.

I find I have so much more empathy, especially for my kids & wife. It has truly given me a fresh outlook, and allowed me to focus on spending my time in ways I actually value.

The wikipedia article has a section on it.

But just consider nerve cells that control limbs. A nerve cell consists of a neuronal body and a long axon. If you have a longer limb, you will need a longer axon, and therefore a larger neuronal body to maintain it.
What would happen with companies turning losses in?

How about looking at how would have Apple developed if it was a worker cooperative? Would it have ever gotten to the scale of profits and size it did without reserving most of the profits for R&D? How can we be sure that all the worker-owners would have led to the same decisions making it what it is today?

Basically, company founders (worker-owners) usually invest into a not-yet-profitable business to kick start it: they've got negative salaries. It is only human to expect that those who disproportionally invested in a company get a disproportionate part of the profits.

Whether it makes sense to draw the line at some wealth point is another matter, but the article doesn't have any serious commentary on worker cooperatives.
I’m mostly interested in quantitative metrics. The term “luxury” is very subjective. Perhaps some bubblegum brands could be considered luxury.

2.2B iPhones have been manufactured since 2007 while there are 65K Ferraris. That is one Ferrari for every 33K iPhones.

That is significant enough to not group them together to make a point in an argument.
After realizing that HN can be a rather challenging place (highlighted in the shocking moderation of the Queen E death announcement thread), I actually took a substantial break from HN. And it made me quite a bit happier. I recommend you make your own HN with RSS. It is substantially better that way. You won't be at the mercy of one moderators personal belief system and your 'main page' will hopefully better reflect your interests.
For games, I recommend small puzzle games. Microsoft freecell/solitaire. Match 3 games. There's some good ones, but you want the ones that really lean into being a mobile game and is not just a poor version of a full game (e.g. diablo immortal)
> The repo still requires CLA for contribution for the moment until I am really sure.

I just wanted to mention that this sounds like a great idea for a new project. Stay behind a CLA, for a while, just in case the initial license turned out to be an issue.
But for people with a high TC, it will become harder to find an employer willing to pay the same, especially when all companies are doing layoffs at the same time.

With a high TC usually comes an expensive lifestyle. It's a really hard process to downscale your lifestyle.
There are situations where it comes off condescending, and minimises the listener.

But I will say that I sometimes appreciate hearing it when I'm overcomplicating things. It reminds me to keep it simple.
