One thing can be right without the other being wrong.

I personally welcome criticism against USA as long as it isn't based on hate of USA but on general ideas. Very simplified: one should be ready to be proportionally critical to everyone else.

For a practical example: I do not find it useful to listen to people who criticize USA (43000 dead civilians in Afghanistan in 20 years) while being utterly silent on Soviet Russia (somewhere between 500 000 and 2 500 000 dead in 10 years, sometimes in ways that make drone strikes look very civil).

Or, if you say Soviet Russia is long ago (it isn't, many of us grew up in its shadows), it seems Russia has already killed more civilians in Ukraine in 10 months than US killed civilians in Afghanistan in 20 years. This of course comes on top of what they did and still do in Syria etc.

Edit: I personally very much hope both:

- that the parts of US that haven't realized how much crazy some Americans have done abroad. I understand it will be very very hard to bring to justice those who are responsible, but at least find a way to make sure no nore weddings are bombed with precision guided weapons.

- that others who hate everything US is and stand for will at some point take a step back and realize how many people can thank American action for their lives.
Genuine question: is there a market for a $10,000 app?
And unions are exactly that powerful. A strike can easily shut down a company, a town or a country. I do not see a similar power on the corporation's side. Firing everybody would just kill the corporation as well.
Yes it has absolutely occurred to me that it could possibly be scam. As I said in my original comments, I have no shares and I am watching as an outside observer. As this is unprecedented, no one can say with 100% certainty who is right or wrong unless they succeed in their mission of locking up the float. It is quite possible that both sides are right - that there is both rampant fraud and an unviable company. Only time will tell.
Don’t they? Not in the glovebox, but there are repair manuals for cars that are easily available. I get access to every model’s repair manual with my .edu account.

The thing is that having the manual or not is not the problem, is the equipment you’ll need that is hard to get, and not only that, for cars you may only use them once, for that particular car, that particular repair, and it may cost hundreds. Maybe if you keep the car for 15 years and 300k miles you get to use it again.

Same with the equipment you need to do circuit repair nowdays.

Back in the day the boards were simple, big and you could use a $10 soldering iron to fix things. Now a regular soldering iron tip covers 3 components at a time.
So far, my wealth did not correlate to my number of PRs on Github, unfortunately.

> I bet you’ve got good handwriting and penmanship habits.

Sadly, no: My dad's next duty station was in a small college town in east Texas, where my mother said the local elementary school completely messed up my handwriting because I didn't write "proper." I do wish my current handwriting had the French look.
There are a lot of countries where you have cradle to grave social support - free education, free healthcare, excellent parental benefits etc. And yet they have low birth rates. In fact, there seems to be an inverse correlation between the quality of life in a country and its birthrate. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/birth-rat...
Yeah, the huge number of "sing-along versions" of movies on Disney+ make it pretty clear what at least one major target market for this is. See also: the overwhelming majority of home-karaoke devices that are purchased. Most of the market's shitty overpriced devices that barely work, aimed at kids. This replaces those with something way the hell better, on a device that also does a bunch of other stuff.
> I feel like the process of using AI-generated art and augmenting it with my own projects is more productive than creating my own art from scratch.

There are two roads: doing what you love and doing something of value (where value is defined as what other people are willing to pay for). Hopefully, those can converge to a degree, but they don't have to. I love making art, but that doesn't pay for me, so I do other things to earn money --- that supports the art. Being able to do more cheaper is creating more value.

Given your skills in art and computers, you could look at a career in UX. It both pays and can be art. It is something of value that can then support your other more personally fulfilling endeavors. Or simply get good at being a digital artist that takes the best AI generated art, fixes it, and gets it out the door :-)
>Consequences of poorly performing GBP and Euro.

In the comparison I have used current exchange rates.
GBP or PLN don't have a tendency to drop down by 10% overnight.
I also do not see the reason why Apple couldn't offer the option to charge in USD, in Europe many banks offer currency conversion without fees for online card payments, such as Monzo in the UK.
The millions of Uighur locked away love their government eh?

Probably only after the “re-education”.
IANAL but Karaoke has been trademarked in different decades in different countries. Most of those trademarks are considered "Abandoned" according to the few databases I skimmed in a brief search, but that covered only a couple of countries.

I think most US courts would see "karaoke" as a generic word today, but I don't know about courts outside of the US, and Karaoke is still seen as a part of the "trade dress" of a couple specific US corporations even if they can't entirely protect that trademark, they are still allowed to fight for it. At least a couple seem to still exist primarily as trolls for lawsuits today.

According to the toy aisle of US stores, "Sing" (and "Sing Along") is the only real generic English term in use, and very few (no?) current toys use the word "Karaoke", so I'm guessing those trolls are still winning in the US, for now. (Again, I don't know about the rest of the world, and toy branding is an anecdotal source at best, but still an interesting proxy view in how much large companies assume they will be sued.)
I won't name names, but I know of a founder who raised tens of millions without a whisper of a product, any technical chops, or even an impressive resume. His dad was very well-connected in SV, though.

I've followed the son's career, and it seems that he has squandered tens of millions of dollars over the course of a decade. Glassdoor reviews are not kind to his company, or him specifically. Apparently he lies to employees and recruits about milestones and such. I have wondered if his gravy train will ever run out of steam. So far, it hasn't — he lives in a multimillion dollar house and drives fancy cars. Oh, and his startup was covered in TechCrunch, of course!
From a perspective of an individual, what defines quality now? Any attempt to stand out from the crowd requires significant energy. Given the nature of the industry, I fear that the experience I gain cannot be transferred for actual value. I feel like the bar is very high for me and I want to switch to other fields, but there is no way because I do not have relevant experience in other fields.
This is pretty false information.

Along with an Android app being available for direct scanning. The airtag itself will beep if it's been away from its linked device for an unusual amount of time.

It's also the only tracking device that when turned into police can be used to obtain information on the person observing the location (i.e. the stalker).
I would assume it uses the phone's built-in mic but you can switch to a BT mic at the OS level (as with any app)

Do you have any actual examples of this?
It’s because whatever the next step is is far off in the distance, and very gatekept. People don’t have much opportunity, and frequently don’t have much in the way of community either.

Yes it is bleak. I still believe it’s still possible to have a lot of agency but meeting basic needs is so difficult. Scraping by is how many people will live their entire lives. I moderate some online mental health communities and it’s basically assumed that nobody can access mental healthcare except for hospitalizations (which then bankrupt you after). It’s a huge privilege to have access to even be helped with the tools to make your life better.
Suffering is part of the world. I just try to minimize it, I do not believe it can be avoided.

Do you believe differently in general?
>the mines in ancient Anatolia during the Late Bronze Age were under the control of the Hittites, an imperial global power of great threat to Ramses the Great of Egypt

What's the reason to call the Hittites a great threat to Ramses? They had the first known peace treaty [1] with Egypt which should lead to the opposite reputation.

They earned confidence? What did they do to earn the right to say "I don't like this color"?

Personally, I find the whole thing condescending and dismissive, taking swipes at "Gen-X-ers and Millennials"

Follow the Ukraine model, when out numbered 10-1 attack supply lines and attack artillery with drones or HMMRS.
Isn't this the same argument pharma companies make in support of drug patents? Huge R and D can't be recouped if a third-party takes the formula as soon as it is published and then undercuts on price, without having to worry about recovering the capital investment.

I agree with you, but I think this also makes a great case for any sort of proprietary period for things that require immense upfront costs (be it time, money etc.) which have very low costs of execution.
Nice way to make karaoke dead easy for those with iPhones

> The collapse of the Banqiao dam in China led to between 26,000 to 240,000 estimated fatalities that impacted 30 cities

Not downplaying those deaths, but at least you can rebuild on the land right after. Seems way different than having some part of the world off limit for 10,000 years.
I bet the “seller” made the sale to another wallet they control to make it look like the purchase price was 7000
> which often cause, or share causes with, pornography consumption.

I doubt there is substantial evidence for this statement.
The same could be said for many other people who had more connections and had more parental money, but they didn't end up where Musk is.
You keep equating Chinese people, Chinese government, and Chinese history. Those three are not exactly the same thing, no matter how much Xi and the Communists try to push that ideology on the world.
It makes a lot of sense for an audio file format to support multiple tracks when each track is intended to target a different output device (left and right speakers, etc.)

It makes less sense when the intent is to mix those tracks together and send them to a single output device. Producers and audio engineers want full control over that mixing process because it's almost never just a simple sum. They are doing audio compression (sometimes multi-band), dynamic EQ, saturation, limiting, etc. They wouldn't want to give that up, because it's an essential part of making a good sounding recording.

It doesn't look as bad as I thought, but I suspect some national statistics are using evermore generous definitions of "participation". For example, people in higher education being included. That group is increasing as proportion of the population, especially in some European countries with laughably high official statistics.
Maybe he didn't want the economy shut down on his watch. But if it took the most powerful man in the world to stop them, US Unions are powerful indeed.
> React programmers know nothing about Javascript or web development

Can't say I'm suprised.
The promise of automation has always been that you'll get a better job with less menial labour if your job is automated. But I don't believe that's been the case, overall. It seems to me that automation causes people to be displaced from jobs where their skills are valued, to jobs where their skills are seen as replaceable. In a capitalist system, without something like UBI, that's a huge problem because once you're at the bottom it's easy to fall out of the system entirely. So, you frame it as a choice between hard work and easy work - but I think ultimately it's closer to a choice between hard work and poverty or death.

There is no mechanism in our capitalist system for allowing people to be automated out of a job while still living a good life.

You need to find a model customer that's representative of their market and establish a close working relationship because they'll be instrumental on understanding what customers actually expect.

They'll help you get your product-market fit, and expand from there.

At first you usually have some huge blind spots in your product offering and you need someone to help you validate.

Focus on the problem you're solving for them, the product will grow from there.

This reminded me of Storybook, and someone mentioned it on the blog post's comments

> Both in Codux and Storybook you isolate your components and render them, but this is where the similarities end :) . Now within Codux you can drill into every internal part of your component and visually edit it! you can change prop values, edit styles, and add/remove JSX elements all within the app. Every change you make results in actual source code change that you can later commit and push through git just as if you've done them in your IDE.
Crackpot theory? It's a straightforward inference from human behavioral modernity, and the fact that some places have always been resource-rich enough to allow for at least some effort to be spent on things other than brute survival. Those who suppose the contrary as a default are merely transporting our naïve, self-serving stereotypes about "savage" societies to the very far past.
you-know-who?
That's honestly what we need right now. There is a plethora of new optimizations available (big.LITTLE, chiplets, 3D stacking, et. al) and neither Intel, AMD or Apple are using them all. There are also ISA optimizations still on the table for both x86 and aarch64, so the real race over the next 5 years will be seeing which company is able to compile these optimizations in a meaningful way.
It's not ease of manufacturing. Looking closely, following for years, one notices it's never been "ease of making" above all else for Apple, it's been how the device feels and lasts.

They've demonstrably gone to insane lengths to figure out how to manufacture things better for use but impossible to make at scale before they figured it out. Then they teach suppliers those methods.

Eventually others benefit too.

I'm one of the HN users who upvotes (some) cryptocurrency-related topics. I work in the industry, and enjoy reading about technical things that I find interesting. I upvote many other topics, and crypto-related submissions are definitely a minority.

But I upvote what I find interesting, much like you or any other user would upvote what you find interesting. Obviously, there are many people on HN who don't find crypto-related topics interesting (or who only enjoy submissions about crypto-related businesses and projects blowing up, of which there is no shortage).

I don't think there is a conspiracy here; if anything, I think you underestimate the number of developers who are primarily interested in the technical aspects of blockchain tech.

Also, the things Vitalik posts about are often interesting even to people who generally dislike or aren't interested in cryptocurrency.
You're conflating heterosexuality and heteronormativity. You could have a society where heterosexuality is prevalent, without having heteronormativity. Heteronormativity encompasses both heterosexuality and a specific set of gender roles for men and women; so it is not enough for heterosexuality to be prevalent. You need to conflate these genders with heterosexuality, prescribe them, and marginalize sexual and gender identities that do not conform to this.

Heteronormativity isn't an epistemology, there's no burden for it to be consistent. It's a set of beliefs and attitudes, and a label that allows you to critique them. Why would we expect that to be any more consistent than the human behavior it describes (which is to say, only somewhat)? Will this label break down and stop making sense as society changes? Yes, I imagine it will. Will it become unwieldy and eventually fail altogether if we employ it in an analysis spanning cultures with very different conceptions of gender? Absolutely. But you might as well ask whether the concept of pop music is consistent and relate it to the works of Beethoven, if you think that's useful in your analysis than go for it, but if it doesn't work in that circumstance it isn't a condemnation of the idea. The only burden on heteronormativity is to be useful in describing real world behavior, which it clearly is.

If you want to know whether heteronormativity is a real phenomenon, you need look no further than the comment I criticized. It doesn't say, heterosexuality is prevalent; it says, heterosexuality is total, that it is "natural" and "normal", that it is inseparable from gender, and that people living as (or even describing) other gender and sexual identities are doing it to trick you.
Haha that's too funny
I'd have more sympathy for this argument if Neuralink was genuinely the fastest or more efficient way to solve these problems, but it's a far shot attempting to build a technology that is wildly ambitious where there's no guarantee that it will provide the revolution people claim (or that it will even be commercially and economically available at all to the vast majority of people who need it).

It's not just that the research could be done with less suffering/death, it's also that this is also not really the highest-priority research if we want to improve the lives of differently-abled and disabled people. But we're being asked to excuse bad research practices that result in unnecessary death because somehow Neuralink specifically is an emergency that needs to have market domination as soon as possible to save lives.

I have no objection to Neuralink responsibly conducting research in this direction, but it's far from the most effective or optimistic way that we could be spending that time and money, so I don't see why they specifically should get a pass to violate research ethics. They're already devoting resources in a way that is sub-optimal if you just want to improve the lives of disabled people as quickly as possible. And that's fine, but at least they can devote those resources responsibly without causing additional suffering.
It's probably a good thing if you're not too expert. If you were deep into it, you might be impressed by the choices, but miss the glaring red flags: e.g. The git repo for this cool API has no adoption, no stars, no commits in the last 6 months, etc.
is it not an argument against capital punishment?
10x the number of price points is nuts.

Then again, at this point, Apple is a treasury operation that also sells phones and computers.
Maybe the word “karaoke” sounds too old school for the target demographic.
Whether or not those quoted are actually representative or cherry picked, and whether they’re as opposed to internal practices as is suggested or simply think there’s room for improvement requires a trusted investigator to determine.

Quite frankly, the vast majority of the journalistic enterprise has been so heavily discredited and so abused for hit pieces and marketing that I don’t trust that the reporting reflects the internal reality they’re depicting.

The timing, the citation of multiple federal boards, citation of a competitor, and the group think Eye of Sauron that used to be aligned against Trump seemingly gearing up to go against Musk makes me highly skeptical of the legitimacy of the complaints.

This is a tragic situation, because it is now very difficult to distinguish between the types of people opposed to high pressure pursuits of excellence in general, regardless of how effective and voluntarily pursued and in good faith they are, and people who are legitimately waving a red flag about a serious problem.

This does not strike me as a serious problem, this strikes me as a hit piece.
This seems like a smart move from Apple to continue expanding into international markets and increasing revenue potential from their subscription models.

Offering a wider range of price points will allow developers to better tailor their pricing to different markets, and it will also give consumers more flexibility when choosing which apps to pay for.

It'll be interesting to see how this change affects the App Store ecosystem in the coming months, and whether it leads to more satisfied users or possibly more predatory subscriptions. The increased flexibility in pricing could be a great benefit for developers and consumers, but I'm going to keep an eye on how it impacts the meta of the pricing models.

https://linear.app is nice. I haven't used it with a large group but for some personal projects and it works nicely.
