Why would consumers care if they are sustainable?

Most don't --- it's typically out of sight, out of mind.

Most consumers don't care that credit cards consume 2.5% of the purchase price. But they ultimately pay for it.

Likewise with Amazon, their projected $10 billion loss on Alexa toys this year alone affects the price of everything else you buy from them.

If I get my value out of the product before it is bricked

And if you don't? It takes time, effort and money to fully incorporate Alexa into your home. The speaker is only the first part of the cost.

Personally, I'm reluctant to do this if I know the product is a marketplace loser on the verge of being axed.

>Google is doing this because it thinks the majority of shareholders agree with it, otherwise they'd tell TCI to kick rocks (as often happens with activists, Google knows that no-one can actually buy enough shares to influence their management decisions, unlike some SMID caps.)

I'm glad we agree. That's almost precisely the argument I made throughout this entire thread.
One thing I’m not clear on - is the Anthropocene proposed as the successor of the Holocene? If so, it feels slightly premature, as the effects of anthropogenic climate change do not - yet - appear to be anywhere near the scale of those that define the beginning of the Holocene (glacial retreat and sea level rise).
A part of your analysis left out is that Elon is a public figure.

Ask HN: Help, my mom is getting scammed by “Elon Musk”
My mom (74) is getting scammed by “Elon Musk” and I don’t know how to stop it. The running total is $50k+ and she will be homeless soon if this continues. It all started 6 months ago. I was helping her out with an issue on her computer and noticed that she had a Coinbase bookmark on her browser. I asked her why she had it bookmarked. She then proceeded to say she had money in a crypto “brokerage” account. The site[1] she pulled up showed that she had assets totaling $70k+ and she had made 30% profit. As a software developer I was even surprised that the website was somewhat sophisticated. Of course, this was all a scam and I was eventually able to bring the site down by reporting it to the abuse email of Namecheap.

Soon after, I looked through her phone and found that they had been communicating quite a bit[3][4][5][6]. He built a relationship with her and she was/is in love with him. I decided to tell my family about her deeds and we had an intervention with her. Long story short, we thought this was the end of her dealings with “Elon.”

Turns out, it wasn’t over. I saw my mom over Thanksgiving and noticed that she was using her phone a lot. When she went to the bathroom I was able to get into her phone and noticed that she was still talking to “Elon” on Telegram. The website had also changed to https://megatradepro.com/ archived here at https://archive.vn/uHa8s and included image[2] and her invite through tidio.com[7]. She had promised him another $5k. At this point, I’ve tried everything to get through to her to no avail. Has anyone been through this before and can provide some guidance?

Tldr; My mom has been sending “Elon Musk” bitcoin, through crypto.com and coinbase, to fund his Mars missions. She is depleting her life savings quickly.

The point is, I think, how you interpret "free speech". In his own tweet [0], he says:

"By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law."

The information @ElonJet is publishing is publicly available. One interpretation says: if it's publicly available information, then preventing it being republished is censorship. Therefore Musk is breaking his own rule.

Another interpretation says: whilst it's freely-available information, publishing risks increased harm to Musk himself. I'm no expert on US law, but I'd imagine there's some sort of provision that protects against deliberately risking harm to someone. Assuming that's the case, Musk is being consistent with his own rule.

Given his public profile - and his desire/willingness/record of being provocative - I'd imagine most will adopt the former interpretation.

Not quite. Stable Diffusion is CLIP guided, but I wouldn't say it's "basically" how it works. It's one of the core

Also, just fyi, Google's alternative to Stable Diffusion/DALLE-2, Imagen is not CLIP guided. Thus being CLIP guided is not necessary for the problem.
If stochastic terrorism is speech that makes violent acts against an individual or group more likely, isn't ElonJet engaging in stochastic terrorism by making it easier for a radicalized crazy person to find Elon and harm him in real life?

I personally think the concept of stochastic terrorism is a rhetorical trick to associate legal speech with terrorism, but I think the argument applies just as well to ElonJet.

> I might be out of date now but aren't there EA Origin, Ubisoft store, Battle.net, and the Microsoft Store, at least?

EA has started putting games back on Steam [0] and so has Ubisoft [1]. I've heard rumors of battle.net going the same way, but nothing seems to be confirmed as of now. Since nearly all of those stores have been inferior to Steam feature-wise with the exception of exclusives, I think it's mostly save to say that publishers have mostly given up on trying to force their users onto their own controlled store.

Epic is a different topic, since they seem to actually try to compete with it in terms of features and catalog and opened up the store for third party games, which most publishers did not.

As for Microsoft, this might be my bubble, but it seems to me that store isn't really considered a major player, similarly to GOG, itch.io and the likes.

Some emergency rooms are full because there is no place to send patients for further care. The emergency room is not supposed to be a place to spend a lot of time, they just treat your immediate life-threatening problem and then send you either home or to a hospital bed. But when hospital beds and elderly care units are full, the patients stay in the emergency rooms.

I suspect (but do not know for certain) that part of the reason is the big social and healthcare reform that is to take place in 2023. The responsibility for arranging healthcare lies on municipalities and is going to be transferred to new, euphemistically named "wellbeing services counties". This means that each municipality loses some funds from their budget, and the amount depends on their social-services and healthcare budgets for 2022. This means that keeping the budget artificially low this year means they have more money available for other purposes next year (schools, roads, libraries, what have you).

Here's an article (in Finnish) from 2021 discussing this risk: https://www.iltalehti.fi/politiikka/a/21899c53-d959-4383-a75...

“Cryptocurrency cannot be stopped,” Rep. Patrick Toomey
Here's my best guess: Musk lives in a bubble of yes men 24x7, except Sunday night he was on stage with Chapelle getting slapped in the face by over 10,000 people who clearly didn't like him. Probably a defining moment in his life that shook him to the core and genuinely scared him.

This is what I'm referring to. I am expecting Elon to go after him the same as he did with Yoel Roth, now that Jack has publicly told him he's wrong.
"Treated equally", especially when it comes to things like wage parity, is still a bit of a far cry in the West. Not that that subtracts from your point, but just pointing out. Treated 'better', for sure.
I just gave you the reasoning. Coming off a "normal" economic period, deflation might have the negative effects everyone is claiming. (Might. I'll leave all the evidence gathering to those claiming it's so awful).

But we aren't in normal economic times. We're coming off (or, at 7+%, still experiencing) a period of ultra-high inflation (for the US) where prices seem to be rising out of control, where credit card debt is increasing rapidly. If prices were to fall, say 2% in 2023, I think that would be preferable for almost every consumer than prices continuing to rise even further. And the idea that the economy would grind to a halt and sink into recession as people delay purchases hoping for another 1% drop in prices, is pretty absurd.
Likewise, is there a possibility of Supabase enabling push notifications or automated emails for its users? I have switched to Supabase for most of my newer projects, but honestly push notifications are the last thing tying me to firebase products.

To be fair, we've never seen a test of Waymo or Cruise on the same road, as they are only available on certain specific roads that have been well tested. I'm not making a judgment here as to whether that is good or bad.
How are those two things related at all?
Yeah the situation with Python is kind of crap to begin with. The main problem with requirements.txt is that it doesn't lock the SHAsums of the packages being depended on.

The Python ecosystem also doesn't seem to have a sensible solution for dependency declaration in general. It's kind of remarkable that anything works at all in Python land, it's a lot of "let's hope it works often enough". To be fair it does work out a lot of the time, but when that fails you end up coming to people like me.

I should do some research and see if I can figure out the best way to do this in Python, but I don't use Python at all personally or professionally.
This, plus all the recent UI/UX improvements across every software in the past decade.

It's not at all obvious how it helps, but it does.

First, why is Python unable to represent invalid path names as strings? Because internally it converts strings from UTF-8, UTF-16, or any other encoding, to a fixed-with array of decoded Unicode code points. The width of integer used to represent code points is determined by the largest code point in the string: if the string is ASCII, it can use a byte (uint8) per character; if the string is non-ASCII but all BMP, then it can use a uint16 per character; otherwise it has to use uint32 per character.

Why does Python do all this? So that you can have O(1) character indexing. If you gave up on that, you wouldn't need to convert the string at all, you could just leave it as (potentially invalid) UTF-8 data.

Suppose you get an invalid path on UNIX where paths are UTF-8 by convention? What does Python do with this string? It can't convert it to an array of code points because invalid UTF-8 doesn't correspond to a code point (well, it can if it's just illegal, not malformed, but in general, we have to consider completely malformed strings that don't even follow the basic UTF-8 format). So Python is stuck: it can only replace the invalid data with something like the Unicode replacement character. But then you can't do anything useful with that because it's not the correct name of the path you're trying to work with.

How does using UTF-8 to represent strings help? Because you can represent invalid strings: just leave them as-is and don't try to decode them unless you have to. Sure, you can't decode them as code points, but that's actually a pretty unusual thing to do. If someone asks for decoding, _then_ you can give an error. What about Windows where paths are UTF-16 by convention? You can convert them to WTF-8 and everything works out. (Described in way more detail here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33984308).
It is possible that Twitter recently removed the account as part of the last week's bot accounts clean-up process, rather than Elon personally shutting it down. It is highly likely Elon is not even aware that this specific account was suspended. Why is the general assumption that this was an intentional move?

There were several occasions when HN algorithms flagged my comments/submissions and then someone from the HN team would reach out saying that this was a mistake and the result of a non-human intervention. Why is the same scenario not considered?

We shall see, but honestly, I believe @ElonJet will be reactivated by the end of today.

Filenames come from multiple filesystems (and not just filesystems!), with different encodings and such. Both ntfs and ext3 can use arbitrary bytes as names, not representable in utf8. (Contrary to popular belief, ntfs works with any byte sequences except 0x0000, and may contain invalid utf16 code points)

The only sane way to deal with them all is to use bytes and bytes only (Or use a sane language with encoding-agnostic string type; see: golang) Other solutions introduce loss of data.

I'm the first to complain about Tesla overselling their self-driving abilities, but I think the numbers used in this article are misleading. Miles per disengagements comparisons between Waymo (to pick one) and Tesla is like apples to oranges. Waymo operates in a closed fashion, is a laboratory-like setting (1), and I don't believe for one second that their miles per disengagements would be significantly better than Tesla in the real-world open settings that Tesla's FSD is being tested in. These numbers mean nothing when the environments used to compute them are so vastly different.

(1) Here's what I think is the case for Waymo's operations:
- Phenix AZ only (maybe one more city?)
-- Amazing sunny weather
-- Clear line markings
-- Can overfit to said city with HD maps, handcoding road quirks, etc
- Waymo employees only
-- Not to sound to tinfoil-hat, can we really trust this data
- Even within Phenix, some filtering will happen as to which route are possible

Given how bad the mobile web is and how little consideration for mobile performance web developers have, this is a pipe dream.

Take even any native app in a webview, the performance are abysmal. Not because of the web tech itself, if these apps were written in plain JS/DOM, I'm sure they would run fine, but because developers chose to use complicated technologies with terrible performances on mobile, such as React. React is fine on desktop, React is not fine at all on mobile, unless one has access to $500+ handsets, which already discriminates against a significant audience, but developers won't test performances on low cost handsets at first place.

I don't think its fair to call the stock market a scam. I do think it's fair to say that a large part of how the stock market is used is in scams.

Ideally, the stock market should be an open, visible and free agency for the population to invest in and gain returns from supporting publicly traded businesses.

I just think it's far too unregulated (or perhaps, improperly regulated is the right term) to operate in that way.
it will be really cool to write more capable web apps using browser engine libraries(webview), so you have true cross platform apps(from desktop to android and ios), it's the only way to achieve that.

the problem is really on apple's side, if its own webkit keeps ignoring the new advancements in web apis intentionally(PWA, new web apis,etc), at least it should allow a true thrid-party browser engine installed who can do it. a true chrome will be much better at least.

what apple does has to be stopped via lawsuits as microsoft experienced in the early days for its browser and OS exclusive tight integration.

Yeah one of the things on my list almost ruined my life last winter.

As in lose my job and be unable to socialize because I need a vaccine passport to enter a restaurant. All based on fraudulent lies that I couldn’t expose because I was censored.
What I struggle with the most is not so much the struggle itself, but the repetition of the struggle. When I overcome the urge of giving up, it feels like a bitter-sweet victory because I know that with great certainty I will have to repeat this fight over and over again in the future and it will be just as painful.

Sometimes when I don’t see any progress, this thought is what really brings me down. It feels pointless and makes me want to do more enjoyable things.

One of the hardest things in life is to recognize when you really should give up, because you are holding on to something just because you want to persevere to reach some questionable goal in the future, but in the end it just makes your present more miserable. Of course, this is not to say that there are goals that are really worth the sweat and tears.
