I can tell you from sitting in meetings with insurance brokers that people (employees) consume healthcare with very little regard for price. ER and urgent care usage is too high, MRI's vary in price in the same city by 400%, but there is no price discrimination going on for the consumer because they just pay a copay or less (if they've hit their deductible) - it's "free". You say we actually use quite a bit less healthcare, but I'm not sure who "we" is. "We" make dumb decisions about healthcare - preferring UC clinics to preventative healthcare and sanitation, we overpay because we can't price shop services, we don't know the actual costs of what we're consuming and so make very dumb decisions, and sorry, that opaqueness is by design. It's a fantastic money machine.
It's a list made by a comedian, I wouldn't take it too seriously, reading the descriptions it's a pretty clear that it's at least partially, if not majoritarly, a joke website
Reminds me of a funny story. I grew up with the web, and I only know writing HTML, CSS, and plain JavaScript. I don't do web development professionally, as I've spent more time with native client and backend development through the years. A couple of years ago, though, I needed to show how to call some APIs, so I wrote a simple page as a demonstration. Immediately after sharing the page, the web developers asked if I could point them to the GitHub repo. I think I might have laughed out loud as I replied, "right-click, View Source." It's amazing that that's how we used to always do it and that it's almost never done that way anymore.

Did you read TFA? Nothing you are saying is matching up with the information. CPS is not the adversary in this case, nor did they bring it to a judge.

The parents agreed to the surveillance plan. Unless they go to a judge for an order mandating it, it's voluntary. It's likely the lawyer recommended they go along with it.

This is like the 5th time you've commented on my stuff while missing major information from the article, or simply going off on some random tangent.
Did you know starbucks is a vanguard/blackrock company?

vanguard/blackrock is msft/google/apple/etc.

The CEO of starbucks is bluntly msft CEO.

Did you know starbucks has _massive_ debts sucking out tons of profits to what seems non-public "creditors"?

There is almost infinite uranium in sea water and there is also thorium. With this logic solar power is also non-renewable.
When layoffs happen, people project their fears and insecurities about their own fate by attempting to create perceived differences and virtues that separate them from those affected, mostly to convince themselves that their situation is different and it won’t happen to them. “Ha, those childish perks, and immature people working at those companies not shipping value.”

Read that as “I envied them before, but hopefully my suffering will be worth it if I don’t lose my job”.

It’s pretty sad and unpleasant to watch.

More like the past few decades. Seriously, this has been a thing (usually configurable in app settings, and common in many long-running applications like messengers and music players) for as long as I can remember.

"Some people claimed that websites without CSS and JavaScript are "bland". Who cares? If your content is readable and accessible without the noisy bells and whistles of loading animations and a fancy-pants design, then ship it.

Someone else said HTML-only websites are "ugly as hell." I disagree. They're beautiful."

Is the www an information system for hyperlinking and sharing information over an internet or is it something else. Is the www the software program (e.g., "browser") used to access it.

Imagine if people criticised books for the fonts they are printed in, how the paragraphs are formatted, whether they have images, and so on. Imagine if readers were forced to wear special reading glasses to see the text.

Generally, book reviews focus only on the textual content not the presentation. I wonder why.

Using a text-only browser (not Lynx, mind you), I can read content faster and easier, with less distraction, than I can using a graphical browser running Javascript provided by an advertising company. YMMV.

As it happens, I can discuss www content submitted to HN with folks who are using such graphical browsers. Yet I cannot see the same fonts, images or formatting, nor do I execute any Javascript. For example, I read the text of the OP website and I am commenting on it here, but I have no idea what it looks like in a popular, "modern" graphical browser running Javascript and controlled by an advertising company. How is this possible.

It seems to me there is a functional aspect of www content, i.e., information, that is independent of the software used to view it.

Web developers like to assume there are only a handful of software programs that can be used to view www content, and thus by manipulating those programs they can control how www content appears to the reader. In practice, given the takeover of the www by "tech" companies living off advertising and VC money, that may be true. However text is text. I can view and process it with an infinite variety of software. I can make it look however I wish on the screen.

The www can be whatever someone wants it to be, as text can be extracted and manipulated in an infinite number of ways. Users of the www can, in theory, process the information found via the www in any way they choose.1

1. For example, GPT-3 was created using a text-only corpus extracted from the www, namely Wikipedia and Common Crawl. Web developer Javascript is ignored.
The filing is amazing: https://pacer-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/33/188450/042020648...

Don't forget to read this with the "diplomatic/legal/lawyer" mindset. These are not internet comments, these are legal filings. Sentences like "Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here. From compromised systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad, to the concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated and potentially compromised individuals, this situation is unprecedented." are not the words of someone seeking updoots, this is a very serious individual in a serious legal filing. Read this way this entire filing is filled with zingers and knee-slappers. Truly an amazing work.

Not only that, but these liabilities are likely only a chunk of the customer’s funds (hence “fiat”). A lot more data is missing.

Indeed, from John J. Ray III’s declaration[0]:

> The Dotcom Silo Debtors may have significant liabilities to customers through the FTX.com platform. However, such liabilities are not reflected in the financial statements prepared by these companies while they were under the control of Mr. Bankman-Fried

And from SBF[1]:

> it looks like people wired $8b to Alameda and oh god we basically forgot about the stub accounts that corresponded to that and so it was never delivered to FTX

Good question that I am asking myself! Azure seems to have some good pricing now for hobbyist for DB and app but we are talking 20/m so not cheap but it is all managed / serverless.

(Edit: for a hobby it seems you can get cheap on https://azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/pricing/calculator/ by picking:

Sql DB: East US > Single Database > vCore > General Purpose > Serverless

App Sercice: East US > Linux > Free

Estimated monthly cost $1.27)

Otherwise you can run it on any linux box and install all the dependencies yourself, if you use .Net Core or .Net 5 or higher I think.

And of course you can rent a windows VM and it should run directly on that.

What I don’t see is anyone outside of Azure wanting to support .NET in a serverless way out of the box. Feels like there might be a gap for a Vercel of .NET.
This is the fork in the road, they need investigatory power, but not punitory power. They should be empowered to investigate the reports but their investigation should simply be evidence. The evidence should be passed into the legal system and treated no different to other evidence… presumption of innocence snd burden of proof should not be abrogated … lest we simply abandon any pretence of jurisprudence on such matters.
SingleFile only "compiles" the resources (stylesheets, images, fonts etc.) into an HTML file. You can always transform this HTML file into a PDF afterwards. You will get the same or even better result thanks to the prior transformation.
The exchange value might fluctuate but the use value remains, in the case of oil and gold. Bitcoin has no use value. Could say that about other financial instruments and derivatives, but they serve a purpose to those who use them. There's a big difference to exchange value and use value though, Marx made a career out of defining it.
We are witnessing a monstrous perversion of "fair use" and the greatest theft of intellectual property in human history.

As someone who has 20 off apple trees, while these ratings are fine. There are some reasons to have apples not listed. For instance, I have Arkansas Black apple trees. They are hardier than trees like honey crisp and their apples last 6 months in a chilled environment. Compare that with honey crisp and you’re only talking a handful of weeks.
Good Shamylan twist you did there. So it turns out the issue is real and valid yet some people are engaging in the dialogue in bad faith. The solution to that issue is to eliminate the bad-faith dialogue, not to eliminate the dialogue. Baby, bathwater, etc.

34yo here, got called a cheater constantly, even by "top" players. Despite using a slow sensitivity myself, i would say that slow/fast sensitivity or wrist/arm aiming doesn't matter; I have seen plenty of people being very efficient with each technique. Just use what you are the most comfortable with. Something specific that tremendously helped me is putting fingers on each side of the mouse to lift it a little, the mouse is no more touching the mousepad, only your fingers, that way i can stop moving much more precisely. You no more think about aiming with the mouse but with your hand. When i need a slower sensitivity, i just lift the mouse higher. In the past i was playing with a CRT monitor at 160hz, now i am playing with a IPS monitor at 144hz (LG 27gl850-b); i have seen no difference in performing at KovaaK aim trainer[1]. Something that actually made a difference is where the sensor is located under the mouse. More the sensor was toward the back of the mouse (toward the wrist), more my aim was degrading. I also once tried a vertical mouse (Trust GXT 144) and did my best score ever in tracking, it was like holding a pen.

Perfect for sharing :)
1) Starting off, I support AI/ML-based code generation/completion. I would be very happy for the day when I can figuratively wave my hand and get 80-90% of what I need.

2) It might be fair to allow authors to submit repos, along with some sort of 'proof of ownership' to Copilot, in order to exclude them from the training set. There might have to be an documented (agreed-upon?) schedule for 'retraining', in order for the exclusion list to take effect in a timely manner.

3) Or just allow authors to add a robots.txt to their repos, which specifies rules for training.

Just a few thoughts...
> I mean, page 9 of the bankruptcy filing says Alameda Research loaned SBF $1,000,000,000 [1], and a couple billion in loans to other owners or companies owned by the owners.

oof, okay that's pretty bad.
"Performant" is not the same as "well designed". What you feel is a pleasant UX, which is art, or closer to it at least, and would fit your analogy drawn against a chair or a car.

However what we're discussing here is how the code and otherwise hidden implementation is designed and built. OP is not a UX designer, OP is a software engineer, and should not waste time building things that are "beautiful" in that capacity.

UX and systems design are almost entirely unrelated, and should not spend time in one another's domain.

Fairly sure all cultivars are the same species. And I dunno about you but I regular see Lady Fingers and Plantains and not occasionally Red bananas at markets here along with the ubiquitous Cavendish, so they obviously are eaten (I've had cooked Plantain in south American dishes a fair bit, but not recently).
But it's probably true that most fruits are more heavily dominated by a single cultivar than apples, and there's rarely more than 2 or 3 alternatives readily available. Esp. berries - can't think of when I saw multiple options for blueberries or blackberries and even for strawberries it's rare to have much choice.
Do you measure IP's value using the amount of work/effort that was put into creating it, or only the end result?

Currently US copyright law only cares about the end result. Effort has no meaning or bearing in any legal analysis of copyright matters.
There is some legal risk, but what percent of code you write is potentialy affected by audits before you sell it?
So you're trading as a single developer real productivity gain and as a company lower costs for a potential "liability" when you're selling your company. Looks like a good bet.
A lot of code will be thrown out or never be sold to anyone.
Pumped hydro is the obvious answer here, and today accounts for by far the majority of stored renewable electricity. There are geographies in Germany (natural and artificial) that can easily accommodate a lot more pumped hydro.

Second option (and also a boring one) is distributed home storage using traditional led-acid or lithium-ion batteries. This is already rolled out and can be increased to scale pretty easily.

A more exciting answer is liquid metal (or molten salt) batteries that works as large scale grid storage by heating the batteries elements (Calcium and Antimony) to very high temperature that keeps them separated while charged slowly mixing into a new liquid alloy as it discharges. You can read more about the technology here https://ambri.com/technology/ However I think before 2035 this will at best be a distant third from the two (boring) storage options above.
They said they consider factors such as use in baking as secondary:

"After the initial one hundred point evaluation is calculated several additional factors are considered which may add or subtract points. These include: Lineage, History, Sustainability, Uniqueness, Longevity, and Alternative Uses (cider, applesauce, baking)."
I'm not sure how you see that a small piece of bad debt is the heart of the problem versus a government repudiating a loan guarantee during increasingly severe global contraction thus destroying the market for more risky (e.g. corporate) debt.

I've only been laid off one time in my life. I was working in Network Operations for an oil and gas company as a sysadmin / disaster recovery specialist. Anyway, there was some industry crisis and management announced layoffs were coming. On the day the axe fell my departmental director was calling people into his office. My turn came and I went in and when I saw the expression on his face I knew something was amiss. He was like "OK here is your severance doco." I was of course shocked because I was the hotshot in my department. So I asked, "Why? Everyone knows I am THE ass kicker on my team." And he said "Oh. Um, well we thought you `wanted` to be laid off." I was like, "Huh? Wait, no, what?" All he could say was "Sorry man". Good times !

I suspect prohibiting Copilot will just become another checkbox on compliance security questionnaires. The fact that Kolide can detect it and that Kolide can feed compliance suites like Vanta or SecureFrame means the infrastructure is already there.

This is something I'm interested in as well. It feels like last year, I saw every tech company fighting tooth and nail to scrape up every last engineer. We even had trouble making modest pickups at my own megacorp because candidates were getting multiple offers during our accelerated interview process.

This seems weird though because I have no doubt that every financial analyst at each of these companies saw the incoming downturn a mile away. If it was just a few of the companies making recent questionable decisions (Twitter, meta) it would make more sense to me, but the list of companies laying people off keeps growing.
> I see this point of view a lot on Hacker News because it's dominated by people living in places like the US.

Totally. And it's not just about "stable countries".

People in Cyprus (except the russians, who were warned a few days before and had the time to move their funds) saw the money on their bank account used to do bank bail-ins. Probably a test to see how the population would react when the same would happen EU wise (as bank bail-ins are now, by law, mandatory in the EU for failing banks).

People in Spain were incentivized by the banks to put their savings into products yelding x% then the banks defaulted on the principal. That one's even more vicious than the Cyprus case.

The FED and ECB printed trillions for years and year... But we're to believe that saving confiscated through inflations are due to only to supply chain issue and to the war that started in Ukraine. Yeah. Sell me a bridge too please.

So far people in Spain and Cyprus who had put their money in BTC are still winning. Those who got their money confiscated by bail in and by bank-sold shady investments not so much.

We'll see.
