Eh - I think the Red Delicious is a complicated apple. It's also hard to accurately judge because for a long time - it was one of the most propagated apples out there, and sadly - time matters a lot for this one. So unless you know they're coming from somewhere very close to you, it's probably too old for hand eating (although I still do it - I don't hate the texture).

It doesn't go bad quickly, but it certainly loses a lot of its luster very quickly off the tree. It gets progressively more mealy the longer it's been stored.

Which... is the second point - older Red Delicious don't make great hand eating apples because they've lost the texture appeal, but they make a really important part of things like apple tarts or pies. I certainly wouldn't recommend only a red delicious pie - since you basically end up with mush, but they really help hold together a pie when mixed in with other apples. I personally love a pie with 1 red delicious, 1 granny smith, and then 4 filler apples (honey crisp is easy to find and tasty - but I actually prefer Rome, since they're not as sweet).

Cut the Red Delicious and Granny Smith up more finely than the other 4, so they mix in well. A lot of recipes say things like "no mushy pies!" but that's not really right - what they mean is that the whole pie shouldn't just be mush, but having a little mush in there is critical - otherwise you end up with apple bricks between layers of pie crust, and it's just really lackluster. That Red Delicious in there is going to help soak up some of the water coming out of the other apples, and give a nice contrast to the firmness/tartness from the granny smith. Then the filler apples are there for sweetness/apple flavor.

Long story short - I've talked myself into making another apple pie this weekend...

Show HN: I'm building megada.sh and the MVP is now free to try with no account
Happy Friday everyone,

Megadash WAS a dashboard tool I built a few months ago to visualise static KPIs. I just wasn't feeling it, nor was anyone else!

So, I have decided to pivot and build something more akin to linktree.

This is still an MVP with no auth - just jump straight in and start creating.

Next on my todo list is to add some basic auth that just asks for an email address, then email you an admin link so you can edit the dashboard in future. Right now, it simply stores a cookie on your device to give you admin access (so dont delete your local storage!).

I will also be adding some basic analytics so you can see how many links have been clicked etc.

Then I will move on to creating a basic landing page, and page a section to feature new dashboards.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Here's one I made earlier...

This is rather specifically not racism. You are allowed to have opinions about a country that has to do with it's government and the way it operates, without being racist. How do you or anyone else benefit from trying to connect this to racism?
> The government has basically been propping up the economy with free money. Now that free money is driving inflation which is another problem.

That sounds very familiar....
The questions are intertangled with culture. In our culture people assume mothers are more important to fathers, making single mothers a better choice in term of child welfare.

Practically it is a bit more complex. Single fathers tend to have higher income than single mothers, and social economic status tend to correlate to better welfare for children. Single mothers are also more likely to be below the poverty line than single fathers. Single fathers are also more likely to live with their parents, which might mean that grandparents are more involved with single fathers than single mothers. That might also align to better welfare for the child.

But those are complex question and I don't know any study that actually compares single mothers with single fathers and looks at the welfare outcome of the child. Culturally I doubt such study would be allowed, and thus we are back to culture. What we do know is that children raise by a single parents tend to do worse than children raised by two parents, so in that sense children welfare would be better off if the law did not care about the gender of the primary care giver.

I seem to remember netbooks (even with the power sucking chipsets the early ones had) being pretty popular for short awhile. Ultimately they were kind of a flash in the pan, but Microsoft was sufficiently afraid of them they brought XP back from the dead just so they could get linux off the things. (Vista/7 are way to big of resource hogs to run tolerably on these, although they did have some starter edition of windows7 for the better performing later models)

Gosh... Managing 101: no one lives in a bubble.

Your so-called "whaling people" are highly contextual, in skills, but also in time: who is pulling all the work on one occasion may have been/become a drag.

The "A-players is a thing" discourse too easily overlooks all the enabling/support coming from the so-called B-C-whatever-players/non-critical functions as well.

No one operates in a vacuum.
I dodged the Atom and picked up an Acer 1810tz. 4gb RAM, intel U4100 CPU, ran rings around netbooks at the time and I still use it here and there to this day. Probably the best keyboard I've ever used on such a small device.
> If the rent of an apartment is $500, and the government gives a person a UBI of $500, then it is logical and legal for that apartment to now rent for $1,000. What benefit has been gained? Zero. What if the apartment then went to $1,500? The UBI is still useless.

If the rent of an apartment is $500, and the government doesn't give a UBI, then it is logical and legal for that apartment to now rent for $1,000.

Obviously landlords always can and want to raise rents, but market competition keeps them from raising prices arbitrarily. Rents would increase, but not by the full value of the grant, unless you have some pretty funny ideas about the inelasticities involved.

What would happen is an aggregate shift in consumption and investments away from luxuries to necessities, as richer people have money that would compete for luxuries taxed and redirected toward poorer people who would then spend it on necessities they were forgoing for financial reasons. More money chasing inferior goods, less money chasing superior goods.

(This is all assuming that the new spending is fiscally neutral i.e. funded by taxes.)
I think, generally, the concern is that if the Qatari rulers are rolling back on this commitment (which is relatively minor) they will roll back on other much more serious promises that they made about personal security of visiting fans.

He effectively did start a new company. Their entire series A funding round was $7.5 million in total, of which $6.5 was Elon. So he became the near exclusive owner of a new company with a few like-minded guys of a similar background.

I don't think he had some nefarious plan to kick them out from the get go. Sometimes personalities and ideas just clash, as theirs obviously did.
> Rust is relatively easy to read I think.

I write C++, Kotlin and Go code day to day, and I respectfully disagree. the syntax is incredibly terse. Most rust code I've encountered sprinkles macros with functions, which have slightly different semantics (note this is not an indictment of C or C++'s macros, far from it), and the combination of macros, pattern matching and unwrap lead to code like [0], which frankly I find incredibly difficult to work with.

> Rust eradicates whole classes of errors in safe code, and unsafe code is more safe than the equivalent C or C++.

Completely agree here, and nopt only does it do that it does so _without sacrificing performance_ in many cases.

true, but what you then loose is “natural selection”.

Why?

Because either a new standard is not allowed. Or it is allowed, but then highly probably just one… and the central planning way. One standard/product is worked on, one is accepted as the successo.

No selection in the wild of the one that survives (depending of what we talk about, the survivor is sometimes the one that is technically better, sometimes it is the one that is cheaper, or faster in bandwith or latency or prettier, or …).

This sometimes work ok for 1-2 successors, but the more times pass by, the more central planing (or lack of free market) fails.

If one is very honest it has to see both sides of it.

Both has their pros and cons (not equally weighted though).

The regulated way has to be done as rarely as possible (very hard to decide when it is a good idea…)

Not at all, if anything the BoJ promises to maintain 2% inflation, the strength of their economy isn't even particularly relevant. Its drop in value may have overshot, so it might retreat up a little, but in general I wouldn't expect it to gain much at this point. (Plus, be careful of confusing movements in the yen's exchange rate with a change in value of the USD.)

I don’t claim people with a different set of values are hypocrites and I don’t believe I suggested otherwise. I do embrace diversity but within the confines of my core beliefs. So it bothers me not one bit that someone thinks eating pork is bad but it does bother me that women are forced to wear a hijab. I do get to define what is acceptable to me. You get to define what is acceptable to you. To me mandatory hijab is asinine and I don’t care if that view offends 1/4 of the world’s population.

No reasonable person can be for things that are antithetical to their core beliefs.

Can I suggest making a Github/Gitlab/other project out of this? Reason being because those platforms typically offer Atom feeds folks can subscribe to for updates.

Wouldn't a probability model also suggest our universe, galaxies, and solar system are all probably.... typical?

The probabilities of trillions of galaxies suggest it is more likely we are 1 of many, rather than 1 of 1.

Just because, for example, an ancient tribe in Europe lived in the north and might never see others because they're 100's of miles away - doesn't mean the tribe is 1 of 1.
The same Twitter but with higher DAU is running with xx% less overhead. That's an objective improvement measured by numbers. That Twitter blue was a mess for a day doesn't matter in the long run.

Losing advertisers is a problem in the short term, but less overhead helps and they're pivoting the model. I thought we all hated ads? Now people suddenly support that model? Please. It's all so fake.
He has. But doesn’t the concept of a super app fly in direct opposition with some of his stated goals and issues regarding Twitter? He has ranted about bloat, both in terms of features, engineering, and employment at Twitter, and all his seemingly disastrous moves since taking over have been aimed at reducing bloat. And yet creating a “super app” sounds like it will be adding back in bloat orders of magnitude larger than whatever currently exists at Twitter.

I’m not sure anything Elon says about the current or future state of Twitter has any credibility. It seems like the company is now being directed via stream of consciousness at this point.
I'm curious about the HN algorithm and why this post hasn't been closer to the top of the front page? It seems like there are so many comments and votes, it should be higher
> He failed to make Twitter profitable for years.

Well if you've read Jack's interaction with Elon about Twitter (part of the lawsuit), it's because the board was very risk adverse and against big changes. Jack actually supports what Elon is doing now, because it's not something he could do while he was in charge.
Indeed. But there’s a reason why shorting Japanese government bonds is known as the “widowmaker” trade.
No, I didn't say that. And there it really becomes tricky, If they try to unilaterally change terms of the contract, they cannot do that. However, at the same time an employee is not entitled to dictate the direction of a company. I am pretty sure a lot of the "perks" that might go away in favor or "hardcore mode" weren't contractually guaranteed. The terms of the employment contract wouldn't have changed then. If they muddle around e.g. with pay or work hours that would be quite different.

I don't really see the "constructive dismissal" argument either that others brought up, as that would require the employer deliberately creating a hostile work environment. Just saying "we're going into hardcore mode" and taking away some perks that weren't guaranteed wouldn't yet fulfill that. There might be of course other shit that twitter/Musk pulled/pulls that may legally satisfy a constructive dismissal. The email, in my laypersons view, wouldn't be enough.

However there is a strong point about the "missed the email" argument, and the non-affirmative nature of the "resignations" it creates. I think that's a rather strong point in favor of the employees. But then again, never underestimate courts ability to render "surprising" rulings.

My guess is though that twitter would not just "dismiss" everybody who did not respond. At the very least HR would get in touch with those people anyway, at which point employees can say "oh wait, what email?". I'd think the email is just meant as a pre-filter to save time by filtering out what people you do not need to talk to because they want to stay anyway.
that would make a great blacklist

I recently learned that home burials are legal in most U.S. states. Gravedigging is hard work, but I think burying a loved one on their own property (with the help of some friends/family) is a nice alternative to a cemetery/graveyard.

- Regularly attending church.
> That'd be annoying to achieve, unless the authoritative name server is compromised... oops.

We weren't discussing how annoying it is to achieve, just whether WebPKI protects against insecure DNS or not. And it doesn't (in some scenarios), because it depends on DNS to generate valid certificates but has no way to validate DNS responses (which could have been compromised in transit, by multiple kinds of attacks).

> Compromising both nameserver operators and public CA's is much more difficult and much more visible. There is no transparency with DNSSEC alone.

How is it much more difficult? It's exactly as difficult as compromising nameserver operators in DANE. If you compromise the nameserver then the CA would be automatically compromised as well.

There is no transparency with WebPKI either unless the target is a website, not any other kind of TLS-based service.

Either way, tptacek and I have already discussed in another post how a DANE-based transparency scheme would work and it would be much easier and less resource intensive to do than certificate transparency.

> DNSSEC deployment percentage by TLD should confirm it for you. If it's not that hard, why do some ccTLD's still not support it? It's ridiculous that website owners' website security should depend on that.

Because there's not much value in doing so yet. The vast majority of clients aren't validating DNSSEC by default yet.

> DNS-over-DANE-HTTPS sounds a bit tautological, doesn't it?

I don't see a problem, although some special code might have to be written to handle that. You'd just need to validate the certificate of the DNS server before declaring the DNS-over-HTTPS connection as authenticated. The DNS server could provide the signed responses upon establishing the TCP connection, which the client would validate.

> And DNSSEC would be even more so.

No, it would be less so. Have you even read any of my arguments?

As I said, governments can attack any TLS-based service in the world right now.

With DNSSEC and DANE, they couldn't -- they could only attack domains over which they already have control.

> Ehh? That's a leap.

Please explain how so.

Explain how they would be able to do a MITM attack if they have no control over an unrelated TLD, which would be needed to sign a valid certificate.

> And haven't registrars demonstrated the same? Oh, that's right, we wouldn't know, because there's no oversight, there's barely any deployment, there's barely any good tooling.

Right, there isn't, which is why we should change that.

> I'd really say the same about claiming DNSSEC+DANE would "fix" WebPKI.

I didn't claim that, so your statement is invalid.

I only claimed that DNSSEC+DANE is simpler and much more secure than insecure DNS+WebPKI. Which makes it worth to transition to.

The two systems would need to coexist during the transition period, but for any already-transitioned domain, the benefits would be clear and substantial.

Arguments about slow adoption are invalid because almost no effort (DNS-over-HTTPS being the exception) is currently being made by those who actually have the means to drive adoption (i.e. Mozilla, Google, Apple, Microsoft).

It won because the legislative interfered. Apple just couldn't be bothered to play ball while it wasn't outright mandated, which is why we're now in this shitty situation.

And as mkbhd said a while ago, it's extremely unlikely that apple will introduce USB-C now as well. They'll likely pivot to wireless charging exclusively and get rid of all external connectors.
