>A possible solution would be an app with no chat component whatsoever, strictly just matching for dates in real life - you have to take seriously.

How do you exchange info though? What about an app where people match and they're only alloted a single message (e.g., to exchange contact info, meetup place, etc), after which they cannot chat with the other person anymore?
Liz Truss made big mistakes in implementation: they did not discuss their plans with key stakeholders and they they did not prioritise measures (why abolish the 45p rate now?) but they did get that growth must be much higher priority, if not highest priority. Again, the level of debts is really weighing on things: without Covid debts Liz Truss's budget would have been well received.

And of course even many in her own party were out to kill her, which did not help.
I live quite a comfortable life despite three decades of “working an ordinary IT jobs”. I guess I don’t see the obvious downside here. These folks are choosing to stick around—maybe it’s an ordinary IT job and maybe working for Musk could be challenging, but maybe they turn around the company and Musk rewards the loyalty, and maybe he doesn’t’. At that point they can re-evaluate.

I don’t buy into the notion that Musk is the worst boss in the world. A former colleague and I were laughing recently at how mild Musk is compared to an old boss we had.
This is, practically, unenforceable.
Couldn't they just add paging?
It’s a struggle still! I get some must do stuff done, but I’m definitely overwhelmed with what I want to do! I call myself idea machine - but I think I have ADHD or something of sort!

I’m currently reading The One Thing [0] and it’s actually making a lot of sense. Plan on giving it a try!

> As a US poster, I need [...] all pickup trucks to be what the Founding Fathers drove.

> As an EU poster, I won't understand the US obsession with large vehicles and I will recommend bicycling instead.

I will not buy EV unless it can go 10000 miles on a single charge, otherwise it is not good enough for my-once-in-a-decade roadtrip.
Nonsense, you don’t hate being pedantic :)
It's the cost of failure that's different. If you loose a hackathon everyone gets a high five and goes home empty handed. If you loose at your job(in the US) you have no income, a very high COBRA payment, and possibly a major visa problem. All of which are a fantastic way to start a recession.
And such basic stupid mistake: the corner keys are easiest to hit and power key is not the most often key used (by me at least) - I expect INS and DEL at that place.. (power key can't be reprogramed).
I keep hearing this, and I understand the sentiment: people are angry, and hurt.

But we missed the opportunity to proactively regulate. We can’t get this back. Governments absolutely should not shoot first and ask questions later. The wheels of justice should be slow and exact. The alternative is much worse.
- you don't even know the difference between a sheep and a cow. that's not a "typo" - that's a clue that you are frothing at the mouth and spewing your anger so fast that you don't even know what you are saying.

- you post facts that aren't true. your original post contained 100% fiction.

- you defend them with a video that doesn't actually back you up.

- you still haven't defended that any animal production, veal, not even foie gras, has any aspect of an animal being forced to drink urine, let alone due to anemia. that's just untrue.

> "same flawed reasoning that every. single. carnist."

- it's not flawed to use logic and facts vs. the emotional appeal, such as the video you posted.

- perhaps the reason every. single. meat-loving. animal-loving. person. uses the same arguments is because they are right and are more logical and moral than your propagandized appeals (that are not really even arguments).

you are allowed to believe anything you want to - that's your prerogative. but you need to stop hallucinating that you sane and everybody else is "insane" and wrong.

you are the one making terrible attempts at arguments and sounding both quite bitter and agitated.

> we can find time to video chat.

I'll zoom you the next time it's time to kill and pluck one of the chickens. that'll definitely change your mind. <- see that's how you sound.
I've been using Neeva [0] for a few months now. I'm paying for their Premium plan because I want to support alternatives to Google. A few times when I noticed bugs with Neeva I would contact them and surprise surprise a human would actually reply and we'd chat about the issue, and it'd get fixed in a week or so.

Before Neeva I'd been using DDG but with DDG I'd frequently find myself going back to Google for complex searches. So far with Neeva I haven't had to resort to Google almost ever.

I hadn't heard of Kagi until I saw this thread, but it seems Kagi and Neeva are competing in the same space. Neeva has a cheaper premium plan. I'm curious if anyone has tried both and what they see as the main differences.

I genuinely fear for the UK. It's going to be a very different country in ten years, and I fear it will be a weaker, poorer and more divided one.

I don't know for sure what the main cause of our current problems is, but I know that it's not a single issue. Brexit, Covid-19 and the war with Russia – not one of these issues alone is the cause of our problems.

My hope for the country rests in the fact that it still has wonderful, tough, resourceful people in it, and that it has survived worse catastrophes than this in the past, and come out okay.
My 18-year-old son still packs up his big ass computer and monitor and spends the weekend gaming at his friends house. They don't call it a LAN party but at the end of the day they are still having a lot of fun and socializing with people in real life.
If you are in the UK, as someone else said, your best recourse is to file a claim with the small claims court.
I think we all got sold on the "possibilities" of voice assistants, then promptly realized the software is crap and reverted to using it for simple tasks like timers, weather, and music.

There's an open source project called Mycroft that does the simple tasks, and runs on real hardware you physically own and keep on your desk. It's a wild concept, and not super mature, but I think most people just want some automation anyway

I cannot describe the sadness I feel when I see the title of an essay I might enjoy, decide to use HN comments as a way to decide, then the top comments are all "Why is he using comic sans as a font? Does he hate us?" and so forth.

A kitten dies each time this happens.

Over time, I have participated less and less on HN, but I still use it daily to screen out new tech news. This site rocks. Excellent parody!

Also, for the first seventeen people to sign up for my free e-book, I will purchase certificates for free rides from Uber For Horses. Even if you don't like the book, think of the horses!
I guess they did not mean the linked site itself, but most of the linked sites. They seem to be personal sites of individual people (developers, bloggers), and typically contain few paragraphs of unstyled text (Black font on white background) and few links. Which might be perfectly fine for such pages, but you can't build, for example, your company website this way. Even putting your company logo in decent resolution would push you over the limit :)

> This has e.g. happened with the Horizon Europe research program which Switzerland is no longer part of.

That’s so self-destructive - surely the EU needs Switzerland’s powerful universities more than Switzerland needs Horizon?
When you enter "junkie" into Google it gives you accurate definition "a drug addict", because that's what it is, just more pejorative synonym for "drug addict", since I hardly have any respect for junkies I don't feel like using diplomatic terms regarding them.

Same as "family" gives you (for now) also very clear definiton "a group of one or more parents and their children living together as a unit" which is quite shocking to see at woke Google, I am surprised they didn't update this horrible discriminatory definiton I just yesterday evening discussed with friends who called me names for following exact Google definition of family and not calling childless couple a family.
Have you considered that that's what Porky wants you to think about unions?
> The author blames twitter for negativity and arguments, but spent quite some time on his post criticising the new Twitter ownership and then went on a rant about Elon Musk. How is that better.

> Is the idea here that people should express their criticisms on blogs rather than tweets? But blogs have to be shared on some kind of social media to be read by others too (like this on on HN).

My blog is mostly technical, focusing on software development. As far as I can recall, this is the only instance I've ever gotten "political" on the blog. It's an exception, not the rule. I was wary about doing it. And I purposely put that discussion in the addendum, because the main point of the article wasn't about Musk.

I wrote the addendum because I knew that some people would be curious exactly why I left Twitter, and also because I did feel like ranting about Musk, which I generally didn't do on either Twitter or my blog until the very end. (Before he acquired Twitter, I had blocked his account and muted all mentions of him.)
You're comparing two years which were both when we were in the EU, and also ignoring non-EU immigration, and trying to draw some conclusion from this?
The social dynamics of dating in the US are very different. I think in general some men are seen as more violent/depraved/creepy. In the same way, if a man is with a child in public for example, unless they look very similar people will assume kidnapping/abuse type of a situation. Age and attrativeness plays a huge role.
Considering that the US is much lower regs than the UK and has domestic tax havens, and that I doubt this is a problem for China, I think you exaggerate. It's the EU that is worried of being undercut and that's why they are trying to tie market access to EU rules.
The YouTube channel "Think Before You Sleep" has some videos related to this topic.
No, it was about whether Congress has the power to regulate independent political spending, specifically within the BCRA’s prescribed 30 and 60 day pre-election windows. Per Citizens United, it does not.
Don't do it! If I understand it correctly, every time you use it, it takes away one of your valuable internet points.

Very cool looking! This really speaks to me--no curating some global environment of tools, everything is per project. All of your dependencies defined in the README.md. I'm looking forward to playing with this!
Those three things go together, there are no trade offs. "And therefore your answer is a charade." Smaller is cheaper is easier to produce in large volumes, yeah?

You can buy small, cheap, mass-produced EVs in most of the rest of the world today, just not in North America.
Use home manager instead.
I would say the dividing line is when you have lost your street smarts, you can't prevent people from manipulating you, when you can't answer the 3AM emergency from the JCS.

That being said, the line is different for everyone, and your declining abilities make it difficult to recognize in yourself.

THAT being said, a large part of the job is just to sign things or not sign things that the staff has set up. That can be done as long as there is still a heartbeat.

Without naming names, there was one president I'll call GWB who definitely was the alpha male in the room and not in decline but was easily manipulated.

Another I'll call RR who went senile in office.

That's why we have elections. If someone else decided how old was too old, they would be in charge, not the president.

(Speech is generally "«incoherent»", best translated as "with missing linking pieces" - which is what the reader is tasked to do -, otherwise you would have to write something like Russel's Principia Mathematica to present a complete form. ...And people would go "TL;DR" on it. ... Edit: I could have been a bit more "complete", but body was so begging for rest I had to cut it short. Physiology.)

I'll translate up to some point.

I wrote that explaining the logic that shows that "privacy is a natural right" is not difficult: it is based at least on the principle that the individual is responsible on his self, and is endowed with a judgement to carry on that responsibility, and that the judgement of his peers is not qualifiable as worthy in such an amount to override that of the responsibility bearer, so, exceptions aside relevant to the impact on others, the peers will leave the individual "in peace" and in suspension of judgement. This produces (logically) one side of the inappropriateness of having peering eyes on you: the peers do not have the qualifications to intrude.

In [that] short [form]: "I know what I am doing [much more than you can in general judge], and you don't". Very loose form, but can be used provisionally as a shortening.

And another side is that shown in the picture, with that Jeremy Clarkson acting as the "annoying staring child": it's annoying to have peering eyes on you - it is more distracting than mosquitoes and one has the right to carry on one's business in peace.

There may be even more sides.
Yes. Eye contact can sometimes/often be unbearably intense. Not sure what the cure is.
A couple years back someone posted something I wrote. I’d written it in November 2018 and it was currently March 2019. Someone started a thread that it needed (2018) and the HN mods actually made it happen - as well as changing the title.
Keep in mind that in some cultures eye-contact is avoided:

I left the UK for the US in 2019. My I-485 was approved this week. I haven't been able to travel back to the UK since 2019 first because of Covid and then because of the pending I-485 petition. I'll be going back for the first time once my card is delivered.

Reading about what has been happening over the past years in the UK while sitting in the US is really strange. Sometimes it feels like reading about a cartoonish banana republic in a novel aimed at young teenagers.
Homebrew's kind of a dumpster fire now tho. The whole "you don't ever get to use an old version" thing was when I jumped ship. The fact that it can't handle two architectures in one install is also a big problem, though can be generally worked around

No, that is not true of solved problems and solved games in the mathematical sense, which is what we're talking about. E.g. tic-tac-toe is a solved game, no better solution can be devised.
Oh god, WTF. I was half excited about this for a second but it's just crypto BS.
The app Breeze [breeze.social] seems to have done it already - hence the top of the compilation list.
It's currently only available in the Netherlands, though.
Nice to see another popular thread with solid humor like this.
The two aren't mutually exclusive, for the exact reason you mentioned.

That is, the donations are why no one wants to do the right thing. Maybe it's fear? Maybe it would mean The Politics Industrial Complex would be acknowledging its dirty little secret?

Oh...and suddenly...look at that...what perfect timing...Let's go get Ticketmaster.

You've got all the right dots, just need a bit of a remix on understanding how to connect them.
No, we are talking about actual cars, with proper mileage capacity and that can carry more than one person and a purse.
Do you think you connect with others effectively in conversation? I struggle the same way and really have to focus on it.
This is a UI bug. Sorry for your bad experience. Our team is fixing it now, and I will keep you posted once we fix it.

His goals with Twitter feel like hubris not confidence but I guess that is the “bullshitter”? The thing from left field is still “succeed at what”. Right now it almost seems like he wants to attract people like mr beast to the platform and turn it into a 24-hour reality tv show. That is an option that I think could be successful, and the author seems to limit his own vision of twitter 2.0 to not include rich media, which Is not the correct way to think about it.

The original vision of some kind of paid for public square with mature discourse that 80% of the world subscribes to is feasible. Jerry Springer is a much more believable recipe for success than C-SPAN.
Not the OP, but a lot depends on the context.

If both pilots left the cockpit mid-flight in order to chill with the stewardesses, I would be fine with them being barred from working as pilots ever again.

exactly, filtering Trump, Putin, Russia, Ukraine, Zelensky, Elisabeth, Queen, etc. helps a lot with annoying popular topics I'm not interested to hear about from others at all

plus then there is megablock - find topic you have very clear opinion about and block everyone who likes completely crazy opinion to stop wasting time potentially reading tweets from people who like such opinion. does it create echo chamber? sure, but it's way healthier than wasting your own time getting angry about some crazies whatever side you are on

Just more of it I think. It's like anything, practice it until it becomes second nature and you can even feel relaxed doing it.
Well, pack it in y’all. It’s all been done.
Yes, we know that people only care about what they can do. Right now, they don't care about what (little) they can do with Alexa.

Local-first would open up existing home automation systems, enabling new functions (e.g. composite, cross-device and cross-service actions) that are not possible today. Without removing restrictions on developers, people can't find out what they can do.
Increasing immigration from India was an explicit Leave campaign promise, obviously only made to the Indian community in the UK, targeted advertising is great.
People are missing the underlying corruption

There is a connection between the Chief of Trading at the
FTX trading company and the actual Org over-seeing
FTX via the licenses that FTX and its Trading company held.

Rumor is that there was a look-away rather than investigate order involved.

And that involves the SEC and another agency.

Given the demand to regulate from both political parties this is not
going away.

But still the core thing is transparency and how the block-chain really does not provide that at all as it's just a transaction book and does not enforce any relationships beyond the transactions.
Seems like the article author has a problem to understand the concept of hyperbole...
This is incorrect. Citizens United found that the BCRA's ban on corporate independent expenditures was unconstitutional. PACs were not affected by this decision.

Super PACs — which I assume you're thinking of — would only become a thing later in the SpeechNow.org v. Federal Election Commission decision.

SBF has always had the right to spend millions on politics. FTX has not (well, it wouldn't have had it if it existed between 2004 and 2010.)
So entertaining - genius Musk.

He seems to have donated massively to media and political parties, and they appear to not so easily forget who has been their good friend.
I had a similar experience here in the states, but fortunately know people who work at spacex. I believe the official process is to trawl LinkedIn to find a contact with the company who can forward your request to someone who can handle it.
The US would not allow their financial sector to migrate from NY to London.

China is even more controlling than the US.

London used to be the center of finance in Europe and now the EU sees an opportunity to grab that revenue / power.

Where does this leave London?

And the UK as a whole is heavily dependent on London.
"tea is creating new technologies that will change how open source is funded"

They are trying new approaches to a persisting problem. Nothing wrong with trying out new things like this, whatever works.

Let's see the results and make judgments based on that.
There are effectively zero shortages of critical goods, and food price inflation in the parts of the US I live and spend significant time in (TX, CA, NY) is certainly not at the levels seen in the UK (where I am from), though there is some which is undoubtedly painful for those on fixed or low incomes even at the levels seen here.

The idea that this is a "global problem" is convenient for the UK government and Brexit supporters, but not based in reality.
Just approach someone in your attractiveness band
Yep, im one of these too and find online meetings more relaxing too. When I make (forced) eye contact I lose my train of thought and often have to glance at the ceiling or out in the distance when I’m in a deep conversation. But I adapted and I am comfortable not making eye contact when I deliver a speech. I may as well be on the spectrum somewhere as I’ve always been this way. The coping mechanisms I’ve built still don’t help not disturb my train of thought when making eye contact, I have no problem with the eye contact itself but it’s just too distracting sometimes.
Everyone knows Merrick Garland is a huge Taylor Swift fan. Haven't you seen the hidden camera video of him singing "Trouble" a capella?
