I have worked in a number of hardware based startups, still do, and most have been product led or at least try to be. There isn't a one size fits all answer for what I think you are asking, and without more details it is unlikely anyone can give you great insights.

Generically, most hardware based companies today are really software services or data companies that have a hardware "interface" product. e.g. pick a consumer wearable product, what's really the product there? the hardware? or the users data? The answer is generally the user's data and insights that can be pulled from that data. So product led there generally starts with the insights and data, the hardware is just a means to acquire it.

My main point is unless you are selling primarily disconnected hardware, e.g. a non-connected toaster, you almost always are focused on the software services and data around the product and the hardware is just the bow you wrap it in to get what really is your product. So being product led for hardware isn't so different than SaaS or others. The one key difference is part of the user experience is the hardware, so you spend more time around optimizing the hardware and convincing customers why your shiny object is the one they need to buy. In the end though, usually those reasons to buy still boil down to the insights that come from the software. Hence you are still looking at all those growth metrics, engagement etc that most SaaS or software based business are watching.

If you are a truly non-connected or have severely limited software in the product then I'd have some different comments, but those are pretty rare in today's market.
Eton appears to be a 6 year school with a capacity of 1390. So, at most, 230 at year, so at a murder (or murderer, really) rate of 4/30=0.13 per year, that implies a murder rate of (0.13/230)*100000 = 56 murders per hundred thousand. The UK homicide rate (which includes non-murder homicide) is 1.1 per hundred thousand.

56 per hundred k is higher than _any country on earth_, so this is pretty impressive.

(The absolute numbers are small enough that it could all be fluke, of course. Also I have some vague qualms about comparing murderer rate to murder rate, but I think it _mostly_ works, as most murderers only do one).
Could you please also add a "Compare" tab? So we can select two or more songs and see how similar they are?

This is a good start for a but what I'm looking for is Local Full Text Search of every page in my history. It shouldn't be hard to automatically maintain a text index of the pages I've browsed so that I can search them by keyword without bookmarking everything. Maybe it's just me but chronological history is useless beyond a few days.
> reset will obliterate commit history subsequent to the requested revision 5f1bc85.

It's not obliterated. It is still in the reflog, and in the history of any other branches or tags then have those commits in their history.

You have to try quite hard or wait 2 months to obliterate something that was committed or stashed into a repo.

You can even recover changes that were only staged.

Compare this to most other programs (word processors, GIMP, etc) which will happily genuinely obliterate if you undo multiple times and then do anything other than immediately redo.
Yeah I love the primary password feature. Chrome now prompts to login which is nice (to protect your saved passwords), but I like Firefox's "local control" model better.
I can believe that they've been tracking it for awhile, but it is unlikely that they can easily shoot it down. We probably literally don't have the technical capacity to do so reliably at this time.
> All parts feel really customizable.

This is one of the selling points for me as well. Literally just before opening HN I've looked at my overflowing bookmarks toolbar and thought "Those folder icons and default favicons feels quite unnecessary any only occupies precious space. Let's get rid of them." and then did exactly that in few lines in the userChrome CSS [1] and voilà, toolbar no longer overflows.

I don't think any other major browser lets you do that.

However: several Supreme Court justices have signed on to the “independent state legislature” theory, a radical and unsupported interpretation which holds that state legislatures can’t be restricted in how they pick electors (even by their own laws and constitution.) I assume that if states actually adopted the NPV act, the court would instantly bypass it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_state_legislatur...

The thing I'm talking about feels like a texture but it goes both ways and disappears when its unplugged.
It’s definitely not universal.

A few years back I had a Sony DSC-HX90V (basically their best compact camera), purchased in Australia, that was capped at 20 minutes. (I discovered this by losing most of an hour-long session. I don’t believe this limitation was documented, as I did read its manual and would expect to have remembered that.)

I understand the Sony α6000 generation (mirrorless; α6000, α6300, α6500) had a mixture of limitations: in many situations, around a 20 minute cap due to file system or file format limits, thermal limits that would often shut it down well before that, and a hard limit of “approximately 29 minutes” for unstated reasons I will not speculate on.

The α6100 generation (α6100, α6400, α6600) lacks all these limitations. I purchased one in India. Its battery allows it to record for around 80 minutes, and with power via Micro-USB I’ve recorded for 100 minutes in an ambient temperature of over 40°C on multiple occasions, and five hours once for a test.
The key variety and layout, plus the builtin three button mouse stick pointer on the Model No.: SK-8855 ThinkPad accessory keyboard is what I use. It feels cheap plasticky, looks good, I wish it would have the build quality and materials of Apple before the unreliable butterfly thin-key keyboard period, Apple has since self-corrected but I don't like their key layout. Having assignable vertical columns of keys to the left and right like the Symbolics keyboard is what I look for if I upgrade.
They are more or less done building the network. Right now they're converting to EVs. The article mentions this. When every other retailer is buying fuel to deliver those packages Amazon will be raking in the savings.

> Yeah, no, I don't think giving more visibility to minorities and not being racist and islamophobic is what I had in mind when talking about my issue with US culture. Thank you for reminding me why this subject can't be discussed.

The only reason for not being able to discuss something is if either participant refuses to discuss it. I don't particular care about discussing this so I am not going to push it but I do feel the need to point out the irony that your reaction re "islamophobia" was about me commenting how the german goverment is unwilling to discuss issues caused by mass immigration (presumably) in part due to fears of being accused of islamophobia.

Believe it or not, but I do agree with most of the other beliefs/opinions in your comment here.

> So, as you can see, I would probably be hated by both the American right and left.

Yes, a major problem with the current culture war is the "with us or against us mentality" that forces people into one of two opposing sides, or rather, assumes that anyone who even slightly disagrees is part of the other side and not worth listening to.
If it is simply about linear algebra, can you please read this ML Paper[1], go through all the proofs and lemmas over a week? You already have a PhD in ML, should be easy. Every kid graduating in STEM understands/should understand linear algebra. Knowing linear algebra is such a low bar.

Pretty much everything in the audio and video space has a big price gap between "pretty darn good these days" and "pro."
As far as the server itself is concerned, it’s just a broadcast channel with replay and compaction capabilities, so it’s not directly concerned with conflict resolution. You could use it as a broadcast channel for CRDTs if you wanted to.

The useSharedState react hook is more opinionated, it uses last-write-wins semantics in the case of a conflict. The useSharedReducer hook’s behavior on conflict is up to the reducer provided.
tSQLt is a great tool. If only it could get ported to some other dbs.

Looks like 0% for all items under 8525 under the new Global Tariff (i.e for countries with which the UK trades under WTO terms). It would be 0% for countries with an FTA as well, of course:

https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/headings/8525

The distinction in law between sub-30 and 30+ minutes still exists, inherited from EU law, but the tariff is 0% in both cases:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/classifying-electrical-equipment...

Summary of the changes from the "Common External Tariff" of the EU to the "UK Global Tariff":

"The net effect of the tariff regime according to a summary by the Department for International Trade is as follows:

- 47% of products will be tariff-free, compared to 27% under the CET and

- Average tariffs will be reduced from 7.2% under the CET to 5.7% under the UKGT

This is achieved through changes to rates of tariff by lowering rates, reducing rates to zero or rounding rates down."

This is US news, in a U.S. newspaper, on a US site, in English.

I think sometimes people complain that something isn’t news it’s just US news, while they’re on US channels populated or run by US folks. And you know, what do you expect?
I just followed what Google Maps showed me to do given where I was trying to go; I'm not an SF local so I don't really know any better than to take what looks like the direct route. I was on a skateboard, going at fast-walk pace, and was asked for money about a dozen times in that mile, cussed out (for being a yuppie? I think?) twice, and deliberately body checked and knocked off the board once.

Back in 2010 I used to work at roughly 7th and Harrison and was generally having a better time of commuting to and within the city.

Tab Stash is amazing. This is how bookmarking should work in the modern age, where it's normal to have > 50 tabs open, and not want to close any of them.

Click one button, and all your open tabs are saved in a nice, tabular view. If you saved tabs from yesterday as well, those will be visible in another grid on the same screen, so you can drag and drop tabs into categories, which you can then rename. Brilliantly simple.

Any policy changes the Fed makes affects all these private member institutions equally and at the same time.

They can guess but it's not possible for these private institutions to "know" what policy changes the Fed will make because even the Fed doesn't know until they meet and vote. It's not practical for one of these institutions to individually request or receive special treatment or favors from the Fed. There is no one individual at the Fed empowered to grant any such request. Making any such attempt would subject the institution to having it's banking charter revoked.

Compare this to crypto where exchanges can and do grant themselves special treatment and secret monetary favors without any permission or oversight whatsoever.
OP, you have garnered a lot of sympathy by the HN community which I believe in part contributed to your problem being resolved. I think it would be fair to provide more info about what the issue was in the end. It's not OK to be like "HN I had a bad experience with Company X" and then be like "k, thx @jgrahamc, bye" when your complaint gets resolved due to the attention it received.

There are so many questions this leaves unanswered:

- Was this a one-off error in Cloudflare's processes? (These things happen on a big enough scale.)

- Were you violating a specific clause of Cloudflare's T&C? How clear was the clause? What did you do to fix this?

- Was the issue that Cloudflare estimated that you're not paying enough given the bandwidth you're consuming? Did you end up signing up for the Enterprise plan?

Transparency would benefit both Cloudflare (in not making people unnecessarily apprehensive about becoming/remaining a customer) and you (in demonstrating that you're handling this issue in a professional and responsible manner).

If Congress resolved it, what you’ll end up with is a government agency saying “no” instead of an insurance company.
All major OSes have had transparent memory compression for years now.
It's pretty amazing to me that even after seeing a response from a real human being, people continue to dog pile.

To those continuing to foam at the mouth: what would be the ideal outcome? Cloudflare closing up shop entirely after this? The whole "this shouldn't have happened in the first place" mentality is completely unproductive.
It's because they're trying to essentially legislate taxonomy, which is nearly impossible.

It's the impetus behind the question "Is a hotdog a sandwich?" What does it mean to be a sandwich? What are the properties of sandwichness? When does something stop being a sandwich?

What's the line between pasta and bread? Bread and cake? Shoe and slipper? The fact that all fruits are vegetables, but not all vegetables are fruits, but it turns out most of them are, in fact, fruits, and half our fruits are actually nuts or some shit.

So to put an exemption on a "slipper", you have to rigidly define what a slipper is. Because "yeah, that's a slipper" doesn't pass muster. Because you and I can disagree on what a slipper is. On where the line between slipper and shoe is. But if we legally define a slipper as any article of clothing designed to be worn on the foot with a felted or cloth sole. Boom, we have something we can agree on. As long as the item meets all of the legal qualifications, it's legally a slipper. And we can fuck subjectivity right out the window.

But of course, where there are rules, there are games. And the goal of the game is to get as much as possible while giving up as little as possible.
Thanks for doing the math!

Murders have been declining, right? I wonder how much of this is due to comparing historical murders with current murder rates?
Maybe in the US they're done building it, but they are still expanding their logistics and delivery network in other countries.
From my understanding GPL originated because Stallman was upset about a version of Emacs he was working on at school (MIT Licensed). The person he was working on it with took the source code and started a commercial company, but had no interest in working with Stallman professionally. So Stallman started his free software crusade with his own version of Emacs and replicating every tool needed to build it with his own "FREE" license. This has always bothered me as GPL is far more strict of a license than either BSD or MIT.
Neither Entyvio nor Remicade show up in a cursory search of the Ontario-approved formulary[1].

Yes, but Firefox's profiles are very hard to use (apart from keeping multiple Firefox channels installed, e.g., stable, beta), I tried, and I couldn't.

Starting a profile is difficult, and also switching between windows, since the OS sees profiles as different apps. It's probably not hard to fix, but Mozilla has had other priorities.
How to Tell If Your Brain Needs a Break
Google's search product has become a shadow of its former self. Every year it seems harder to find what I'm looking for. The top half of the first search result page is now (potentially malicious) ads, and what follows is likely SEO spam. I need to add "reddit" or "stackoverflow" to half my searches these days so I'm not served nearly useless results. It's a sad decline from 10+ years ago when I'd type a half-formed thought into the search box and I'd get the answer.

What makes this a case of overfitting success vs. one of applying a lifetime of experience?

I’m not claiming the first can’t exist, but I see no reason to conclude that is the case here.
I'm not American, so I don't know how much people can afford -- a nanny, or not working for one parent.

I can afford my wife not working, but we don't even try to hire a nanny, because we don't know if she won't give the child a gadget, and because the thing little children need the most are us, parents. So we're biting the bullet and doing home duties ourselves.

The gadget seems a solution to a lot of things. For example, cooking with my toddler, or dressing him for a walk is a pain in the neck, and the phone could ease the process. I see parents give gadgets to their 3-6y-olds on bus, just to avoid them asking stupid questions every 10 seconds and pointing finger at everything. The problem with this is that gadget use goes down a spiral: the child will beg for more in other moments, when the phone is not needed. (Someone writes they can't feed kids without gadgets -- I suspect bringing gadgets to the table was the reason for this in the first place.)

I know parents of 3yo kids who barely speak, because parents just gave them the gadget and to mind their own business. We tried an offline phone, and the addiction effect was the same.

I'd also love to read or do hobby code project at home in the evening instead of playing/watching my son. Or I'd do stuff about my career -- read vacancies, send resumes, tec. So untill the time the kid grows up to play by himself, a phone or staying out of home till late evening would have solved this.

The problem with this is that one day I'll come home, and see a 15-year-old guy ask who the hell this man is.

And when else am I supposed to build relations with the child?

These several years when phones can distract kids will be brief for us, adults. (I still remember jokes and funny vids from 2011, and perceive it as not long ago). But they'll be an infinity for the kids.

So, I'll do this without the gadget. If dressing up for a walk takes longer, we'll just stay outdoors a bit less. There's no deadline there. Hobby projects can wait -- I abandoned a lot of them. Board gaming parties, or bar with beer also can wait. All this can wait.

I'm minimizing gadget time with my son. Not because the eyesight or motility issues, but because it's a downward spiral that in the end destroys our relations too. I'm not having a phone "dry law" -- I videocall my parents with the son -- but otherwise I minimize screen time (I don't use phone on bus or subway myself). These precious years, when our kids are fully with us, won't happen again ever.
I dunno, I went to a "British-style" prep school in the US and it definitely made me a harder person than I ever needed to be. It took me a couple of decades to remove that armor and be able to connect better with people.

Weird for me to come across a reference to the "Eton Fainting Game" a day after coming across it described as "The American Dream" in Blindboy's newest episode[0]. I will say the one time it worked for me in school I did have the most vivid . . . dream.

> imagine if we continued to grow and didn't have all of those extra people

This is the problem with FAANG, to a very large extent with all VC-funded companies, and to some extent with capitalism in general. Everyone looks at total dollar value, not at efficiency (loosely revenue per employee) and certainly not at anything hard to measure in dollars (e.g. quality of life). The only way to keep driving that number up is to grow, not to improve. Growth is mandatory, necessary even, and ultimately becomes like that other thing that keeps trying to grow without bound: cancer. Innovation is an uncertain route to growth over the long term. The sure routes are monopolization, regulatory capture, rent seeking (especially in the form that Cory Doctorow has called "enshittification"), and so on. So guess which one CEOs - whose pay is tied to that growth and not to more human-oriented metrics - go for. Every time.
The reason why it isn't collapsing is because of the long term crypto believers. This is a cult and those can last a very long time. The cultists will keep on tithing their pay checks.

HN users have predicted 9 out of the last 5 recessions.

More seriously, this does suggest that inflation will be more persistent than we had hoped. I'd like to remind people, however, that higher wages don't have to result in high inflation. As formerly low-income households earn more, there are two things they can do with their extra income: they can spend it, or they can save it. One leads, of course, to price growth. The other will actually be very good for the economy. So please don't listen to the fearmongerers who will suggest that higher wages will destroy the economy; it isn't true.
