> A better rule is for one service to own writes for a table, and other services can only read that table,

Been there: how do you handle schema changes?

One of the advantages that having a separate schema per service provides is that services can communicate only via APIs, which decouples them allowing you to deploy them independently, which is at the heart of microservices (and continuous delivery).

The way I see it today: everyone complains about microservices, 12 factor apps, kubernetes, docker, etc., and I agree they are overengineering for small tools, services, etc., but if done right, they offer an agility that monoliths simply can't provide. And today it's really all about moving fast(er) than yesterday.
The general question implied by your argument is "Does merely having nuclear weapons allow a country to attack whatever non-nuclear country it wants?"
I’ve had ChatGPT tell me how to do something one way, and then give an example that omitted the specific syntax it had called out. It was only until I told it that the example didn’t reflect what it wrote that it basically said ‘oops! Here’s the corrected version’. I can’t even begin to imagine how poorly that could go in a legal context.

The article says that regular "smart" TVs are being sold at or near cost. That means conceivably sone manufacturer could sell a dumb TV at just 50% markup and still make a nice profit. I think that's what the grandparent post is wishing for. It's true there are those expensive reference monitors and so forth, but those are overpriced because they're geared for the corporate market. There's nothing comparable geared for the ordinary consumer. Honestly despite the frequent calls for their production, there probably isn't enough demand to sustain a dumb TV consumer market. It's like how small-screened smartphones never sell as much as you'd expect given the Internet's seeming love for them.

Anyway, I know nothing about the project but there is a WebOS root/jailbreak that works on some LG models. GP might want to look into it.

You could consider getting a solar roof! I have no particular expertise here, but a guy down the street from me got one, and he loves it so far (~1.5 years into it).

I think you’re missing a different piece of the puzzle here which is that if I pay $10 for the first gallon of water and next to nothing for the next 500, I have an incentive to use more water and not less. I’ve paid for it anyway.

When you’re trying to solve public policy problems especially where conservation is concerned the notion of math gets complicated very quickly.
> There are tvs that will simply connect to any open wifi network that they can.

Don't bring it to the airport or out shopping? Who has an open wifi network in range of their home? (I'm out of touch though, I live in the woods, and can only occasionally see my neighbor's networks, I get to use all the channels for myself, muhahaha)

> Cached ad insertion in front of the video signal from connected devices is inevitable.

Nobody is willing to run an ad program with cached ads. I tried to set one up at my previous job, because it made more sense than live ads, but nope... not going to happen; advertisers want real time control and stats.
Hyatt was honestly the first name that came to my mind, and in fact I had to look him up to be certain that he didn't move to Google. I guess I assumed that if it was Hyatt, he'd no longer be at Apple, since it sounded like the person in question wanted to leave, but who knows—maybe Apple got him to stay?

Steve Jobs was obsessed with loyalty, so I figured that anyone applying for a job at Google would be dead to Apple as long as Jobs was there. Hyatt was one of these guys who even Jobs would probably have hesitated to blacklist, though, so maybe it really is him they're referring to here, and he ultimately remained with Apple.
I've never even lived in Florida, it's just a pop-culture thing. Like how Ohio's a go-to state for "boring" in similar contexts.

If I have to update my Jenkins server because I moved from one Git provider to another, I have to point my existing integrations to my new git provider. That's the opposite of being locked in, and just a fact of the matter.
You have valid points. But it does make sense if you are trying to 1) incentive solar and 2) keep the pricing super simple for the average Joe customer.
"Ketamine transiently increased the power of baseline beta/gamma oscillations and decreased sensory-induced beta/gamma oscillations."

"In addition, it disrupted information transferability in both the somatosensory thalamus and the related cortex and decreased the sensory-induced thalamocortical connectivity in the broadband gamma range"

Too dumb to understand, but I'm interested in therapeutic effects of ketamine. Is this good or bad?
But doesn’t it take up more time (and hence money) to have a customer not be helped and keep emailing/chatting/calling/mailing repeatedly? Wouldn’t fixing the problem in the first place reduce overall costs?
If other ISPs start following the same, you are right in saying I'm downplaying the situation.

For deployment, I like Cloudflare Pages/Workers for small projects and https://fly.io for large projects.

For frontend, I think you'll really enjoy Elm if you like R and Python. Personally, I use vanilla JS (no framework) for small projects and Elm for large projects.

For backend, there are plenty of excellent REST API frameworks for Rust, Go, Deno, Elixir, etc. I can give specific language recommendations if you're interested.

It'd be great to have a standard to share passkeys, and we'd be more than happy to include a reference implementation in solokeys firmware.

Passkeys is "just" the new (and much better!) name for FIDO resident keys. They are available in most (all?) security keys, though they're usually not extractable from hardware devices.

From a purely technical pov, I don't see any major complexity in exporting keys from one device to another (maintaining the required level of security), but of course if we want to do it across vendor we need a standard.

To the best of my knowledge both Google and Apple have their own proprietary way to share passkeys claiming better end-user security. It'd be nice to get to a standard that everybody can implement, and not just a way to share passkeys safari/iOS <> chrome/android.
It's one I've ran into a few times in my company (which has a large number of these types of endpoints).

The silly thing is that something like the JVM (which we use) really wants to host monoliths. It's really the most efficient way to use resources if you can swing it. The problem is when you give the JVM 512GB of ram, it hides the fact that you have a module needlessly loading up 64gb of ram for a few seconds. Something that only comes to a head when that module is ran concurrently.

I got into watching techmoan and similar YouTubers who got me interested in vintage audio. I thought seriously about getting into tapes because I have nostalgia for them and saw you could make really great recordings w/ metal tapes and a deck that supports Dolby S…. Decks like that can be had on ebay but the metal tapes are crazy expensive, for what a deck like that costs plus two metal tapes you could probably get two minidisc recorders and 100 discs.

Today the new decks all use a cheap mechanism that is reliable but sounds awful. New tapes are ‘type 0’ frequently. On top of that it is really no fun to rewind so I gave up on getting a cassette deck but who knows, if a really elite deck shows up at the community reuse center I might grab it.

In my state, generation is still pretty "regulated" and the cost of generation is a separate line item on my bill, technically from a different company, from distribution. There's no reason at all I shouldn't be paid the same price per kWh for generation.

I remember Isaacson's interview of Woznick, and The Woz stated he felt Jobs could have done most of the great things he did without being a jerk. In other words, the jerkiness appeared to be a quirk and not a business tool from Woz's perspective. But then again, the Woz often didn't understand the marketing side of things, according to some of his critics.
Ive heard these assertions about their TVs from people but never any proof.
You didn't buy a smart TV for ten years because of a (frankly unlikely) hypothetical?

I've bought smart TVs, not connected them to WiFi, and that was the end of it.

You can hear whispers about all kinds of sneaky things like refusing to work, but some of the best TVs out right now are LG smart TVs that will function completely identically to a dumb TV if you don't connect them to the internet.

Ironically, weren’t these difficulties due to Imageboss being itself blocked by Cloudflare? [1].

Doesn't that mean that places like AWS will be fighting ECH, then? Right now, evil governments can block sites based on their domain; so if irrelevant-aws-customer.com does something controversial, super-important-customer-also-on-aws.com can still receive traffic. If evil governments lose this ability and irrelevant-aws-customer.com needs to be blocked, then they just block all of AWS, forcing super-important-customer-also-on-aws.com to move to Azure or GCP. As a result, I imagine that big cloud providers to whine loudly about this, unless they have some other plan. (I also think we should ignore their whining, but the #1 browser is made by the #3 cloud provider, so I have my doubts. What hurts AWS hurts GCP, probably.)

My wife takes ketamine troches as an adjunct to another antidepressant she is on. She needs to ramp down off that older antidepressant before she starts a new one and the ketamine helps keep depression at bay while she ramps down her dose.

My wife is 5'7" (170cm) and weighs 125 lbs (57kg), and takes 150mg five nights a week. That is about 2.6mg/kg. When she first started taking it the only side effect was on occasion she'd get double vision. Twice in a year she has had a night where it hits hard and she needs me to set with her because the disassociative aspect is unsettling to her. 99% of the time, though, she said it is like being mildly drunk, like after a glass of wine or two, nowhere near k-hole territory.

She has no other experience (recreational or therapeutically) with psychedelics/disassociatives. Perhaps the antidepressant she is taking dampens the effect of the ketamine.

All in all, she is glad to have the antidepressants, but there has been no silver bullet. It is always lurking just below the surface and she is constantly aware/afraid that it will resurface in full force.

Timmy Davis is not an alcoholic. But like many twenty-something students, he's worried he may be drinking too much.

And cutting down isn't easy. The feel-good memory associations that our minds create – between the sight of a cold pint of beer and pleasure, for instance – lead to the cravings that sustain addictive behaviour, and cause us to relapse.

Dr. Ravi Das is a neuropsychopharmacologist at University College London whose research explores whether we can intervene in addiction by weakening those memories. His latest experiment theorises that ketamine – a controlled drug notorious for its recreational use (to attain a state of intense dissociation and incapacitation described as a 'K-hole') – may have the makings of the elusive 'forgetting pill' – a drug that, administered under correct clinical conditions, can weaken specific memories safely.

Timmy has volunteered for Dr. Das' latest experiment, in which 90 volunteers will receive a ketamine infusion in a controlled setting. Timmy is no stranger to psychedelics. But could a drug he has previously encountered recreationally really help him cut down his drinking?

Here in the central MD/PA area I have been watching Zillow daily and favoriting average looking to nice homes with in-ground pools since July 2022.

Prior to June these houses would sell in a day .. starting in October I started seeing these type of home sellers not have the same opportunity those who sold earlier in the year and they started to drop their prices after two to four weeks on the market. Once they drop their prices the house sold in a few days or more.

The nice homes (newer then 2005) with in-ground pools in this area if priced at 350k to 450k (in maryland i prefer PA though taxes are higher) will still go pretty fast.

Overall the market in this area has changed where it's not a sellers market as much as it was prior to June. But overall there really isnt much inventory of said homes (homes that you can buy that are nice enough to flip in a few years or so for a profit) and I think that's indicative of the entire housing market.
I address that - $200/mo is a lot more than the $20/mo a pro plan costs, which is why upgrading to Business might've been enough, depending on the traffic levels of the service in question. But if your service is pushing terabytes of images or billions of requests, you're costing CF a lot more than they're getting back (in both money and a stronger network presence). Pretty much every booru gets away with paying $200/mo to Cloudflare for pushing likely 20TB/day minimum with a lot of it cached (thus saving them on bandwidth costs to their main image hosting provider).
Seeing stories like this makes me very averse to the idea of running a business myself.

I don’t mind the idea of trying and failing because the market isn’t there or my execution sucks, but trying and having my earnings be trapped in an algorithmic black hole with no customer support - no thank you. I don’t think there’s any other kind of business interaction that works in this way.

Eg, I can’t imagine one day waking up to my electric company unplugging my house and refusing to talk to me ever again.
I've always seen it as part of someone's profile or status message. But more often, it's just sort of a silently agreed-upon philosophy among our team. "Hello" without context isn't ignored, exactly, but it's automatically the lowest priority. That approach is pretty common across our whole team.

When playing team sports, one doesn't always have the ball, but one can still always help out one's team — either deliberately setting up conditions for the next play, or at least making sure one has a positional advantage on the opponents so as to be ready when the play arrives.

The same principle applies at work.

(also, agreed, relax: work isn't always evenly distributed, and —like Messi during the World Cup— you can walk around and catch your breath, while the focus is elsewhere)

I bought a new Samsung TV about a year ago. It has smart stuff that I don't care to use as I have a PC connected and a Chromecast w/ Google TV. I just want it to display HDMI signals generated by one of those devices.

On initial power-on, the TV aggressively pushed me to set up internet access and accept a terms & conditions statement. It took some degree of dancing to find a way past the setup wizard without completing these.

I am very careful when I select inputs. If I hit the Input button on the remote to switch between devices, I need to make sure I go no further than one step left or right to select the other input. If I go too far, the next selections will tell me that I have still not set up internet and accepted the t&c's and I must do so before I use the feature. This happens regardless of whether I press 'Enter' to actively select them.

I've actually had much your opinion for years, but the TV manufacturers really are stepping up their game. My previous Samsung smart TV I was able to use the "just don't configure it" approach and everything was peachy. The landscape is changing.

> but I note that even in Seattle itself, there are 110,672 children under the age of 18 and I guarantee you that the parents of only a small fraction of these kids own a 2 million-dollar home or pay 30 grand per year in childcare expenses.

Of course not, 5 years ago houses were much more affordable.

10 years ago they were massively more affordable.

Now they are not.

> Again, many, many people raise children quite well and responsibly without needing anywhere near $2 million to have a couple of them.

You can get a 4 bedroom house in a not so great part of town for under 1 million, but even an 800k house in a crap area is hardly "affordable". Houses around good schools, aka ones with drinking water not contaminated with lead (which is an actual fucking problem in Seattle schools), cost a lot more. Houses in cheaper areas also have schools where, pulling from state test scores, less than 30% of children in local schools learn how to read. So if that matters to parents, they may want to look elsewhere for housing.

Prior to starting school, child care in Seattle for 2 kids is still going to run 44-60k a year. When they do start public school, count on expensive summer programs, and during the school year, expensive after school sports.

> Congratulations on having exceptionally high personal living standards while residing in the 7th most expensive U.S city.

When I was born here, this was a very affordable city. When I went to public schools here, they were good. Funding was still piss poor, and presumably we were all drinking leaded water without knowing about it (and again, everyone responsible for that still being a problem should be thrown in a jail cell for awhile), but the education outcomes were good. Heck I got to play with recombinant DNA in high school! We were still using 8086s in the year 2000 (same school as the genetics program!) but at least they had those sweet IBM keyboards.

I've voted for every single proposal that is supposed to help improve schools and fix infrastructure issues, but thanks to decades of NIMBYs, high housing prices have contributed to, of caused, nearly all of Seattle's woes.

> You represent a miniscule fraction of the world's population.

And a non-trivial % of HN readers who the topic "who runs spreadsheets to figure if they should have children" applies to.

My original point is that plenty of people I know indeed do the math on having a second or third child. Friends who bought a large house at 1/2 to 1/3rd the price houses go for now, not an issue! Everyone else is boned.
False. Economic status can easily be measured. In fact, college admissions process has the entire financial picture of a candidate thanks to FAFSA.

Wonder why colleges don't publish stats of how many kids are admitted from, say, each quintile of wealth or income. I guess that would be an inconvenient stat to expose.
