If anything, the Turkiye government are dodging the finger of blame. The fault lies with the politicians for not stamping down hard on developers who flout building regulations and/or allowing them to construct buildings with a 'waiver' that lets them get away with substandard building.

A corporation trying to align with a specific belief system would mean some countries would fall outside of it.

This leaves them with two choices - either they stop doing business in said countries, or maximize profits by conducting business in those countries by loosening their belief system to include the countries' negatives, such as censorship of political discourse in this case.
In the UK, it isn't necessarily accent per-say.

In North England and Scotland, we pronounce words using short vowel sounds (bath, castle) whereas in the South, they use long vowel sounds (b-are-th, c-are-stle).

Not being able to easily pick out the vowel sounds makes it much harder for a non-native speaker to understand.

The so called "BBC English" that you probably learnt is based on a Southern England 'home counties' pronunciation.

I have learnt a very valuable lesson about my country's people at the face of the fascist govt. Caste affinity triumphs anything and everything. No matter how cruel the BJP is, their core vote bank which is the Upper caste population are not going to deviate away from them. The BJP has perfected formulas to win elections using hook or crook in every state now.

Modi is going to do more fascist stuff and take away rights one after another. The supporters will keep inventing reasons every single time. It will always point to the caste order's interests

TLDR: Mycroft is now out of money (reportedly due to ongoing patent litigation) and can no longer fulfill pledges. Though it's not clear if you can still pay for a full price unit?

> Which brings us to the present day. We will still be shipping all orders that are made through the Mycroft website, because these sales directly cover the costs of producing and shipping the products. However we do not have the funds to continue fulfilling rewards from this crowdfunding campaign, or to even continue meaningful operations.

Yes; the Nord Stream attack released 100-400K tons of gas in one go; for comparison, the energy sector releases about 135 million tons of methane per year from oil and gas, and cattle emits about 70-odd million. A relative drop in the ocean, I guess (I didn't know the figures offhand).

I live in a place where the walkscore is like 30

Walkscore isn't a realistic measure of anything.

I once lived in a place with a Walkscore of 80+. Looking at the details of the score, it was largely because Walkscore counts pornography shops as bookstores.

Along those lines, I imagine Walkscore also counts peep shows as movie theaters, and strip clubs as general family entertainment centers.

Meanwhile, in Seattle it was 2 miles to get to the grocery store and took all day while dealing with city car traffic.

When I lived in Seattle, I didn't even own a car. I could get everywhere I need to on a bus, or train, or walking. Perhaps you have a different definition of "downtown" than where I lived. If you were two miles away from the Whole Foods on Westlake, then you weren't downtown.
Same thing happened to me in Canada.

You’re falling for the spin. Only reason this is even news is because a bunch of GOP politicians want the president impeached while simultaneously ignoring how the previous admin did nothing.

I'm so tired of all discussions on LLMs starting with "this is dangerous" or forms of this. First because at some point this discourages people from even attempting cool things with LLMs and second because it really stalls the discussion. We are all aware that there is a hallucination issue in LLMs, so what do we do about this? What's your proposal? If it's just "don't do it", I don't think that's useful. I think if we were following the true spirit of HN, we would be giving suggestions on what to change. Just a suggestion to add disclaimers everywhere would be better than these "it's dangerous" comments. Not everything needs to be perfect, for a hobby project not everything even needs to be working. These comments are just discouraging for no real reason.

Edit:

I was actually wondering how much this would affect many build pipelines — if you're doing your builds in a container, the 7 day threshold would never even be reached unless you enabled caching for that file.

The main thing I think this would do is help them flesh out the non-mainstream configurations. For example, I've used Go on AIX but I'd be surprised if bug reports on that platform didn't hit basically every maintainer by surprise since statistically nobody tests on it regularly or even has access to do so. I'd think most of the value of systems like this would be finding out that the change they tested exhaustively on everything Google normally uses is also going to break 100% of some niche community.
They're already pushing the cost to consumers! They just shouldn't be able to lie about prices. Which you'd think consumer protection and truth-in-advertising laws would already cover, but evidently not.
Usage based billing disincentivizes customers from using your product. Seat based billing disincentivizes customers from giving people access to your product. Feature based prizing makes it harder to try features locked in more expensive plans, and disincentivizes smaller use cases.

Which of those is the smallest negative depends on your product.

If I can't opt-out of the 911 fee, it's part of the price. It should be included in the price they advertise to me. The last time I modified my cell phone plan, the representative admitted they couldn't tell me what the resulting new cost would be. That's insane.

My bill includes a "Administrative Fee", "Federal Universal Service Charge", "Regulatory Cost Recovery Charge", "State Telecommunications Excise Surcharge", "County Public Safety Communications Surcharge", and "State Public Safety Communications Surcharge", plus several taxes.
>>railroads will forgo necessary maintenance and infrastructure investments, continue to blame individual employees for the events, and reap record profits year over year

Yup.

What is worse is that, from what I've read, this could have been prevented by simply observing the train earlier in its journey. The cause is initially thought to be a problem with one of the wheelsets, and there was apparently a video of it going through a town 20 miles earlier shedding a shower of sparks. Simply rigging up a series of cameras on the train for the engineer/driver to observe, and they could have stopped in time to drop the failing car for repair.

Instead, they drove on blindly, straight to the inevitable wreck.

Of course, what will then happen is that rail crews will be pressured to ignore "minor" problems seen on the videos, and then get blamed when the inevitable happens.
Yes, companies have to adhere to the laws of a country or stop doing business there. The blame lies with the Indian Government
Property rights could solve this without 'regulation.'
CAFE rules are the real reason - fleet wide emissions targets means lots of more efficient cars allows ‘indulgences’ in the form of limited numbers of very high margin larger vehicles. See the ford raptor for another example.

Ask HN: Is there an app for reading newsletters?
Is there some website that I could use to subscribe to newsletters? Something that would give me an email address that I could use to subscribe to newsletter, and that would then automatically organize them according to topics. Maybe even some kind of built-in bookmarking tool would be great and subscription management (unsubscribe, find similar content). Something like RSS clients but for newsletters.

I would like something that allows subscribing to newsletters from different platforms.

Is there a web/service/app like that?
Why not both? Building fewer houses artificially constrains the supply, driving prices up. Investors prey on the market opportunity. We should definitely build more (IMO "missing middle" walkable mixed-use housing), but we also have to deal with the strong, moneyed, vested interest in keeping housing costs artificially inflated. This literal rent-seeking behaviour is so lucrative they won't just let us fix the problem without a fight. And even if we started to build dramatically more housing today, it would take years to catch up to market demands. So it might be a good idea to get the investors out of the game sooner to take some pressure off the market faster. And not just investors: individuals hoarding vacation homes and short term rentals should be disincentivized, too.
I usually check HN twice a day. I think that users of such portal already read everything which potentially could be in this weekly newsletter/

> deliberately tanking the economy would have been good for nobody.

While that's true, why don't the employers and/or state meet the workers' demands to prevent this catastrophy? A strike is usually only done as a reaction, that is, when negotiations failed and demands aren't being met.

Whose fault is that? Are the rail workers being unreasonable with their demands?

Profit is a strong incentive when there's active competition. When there's not competition, for-profit business turn to extracting rents on captive customers.

Health care larger is not a competitive market. Lots of customers only have limited options (i.e. rural hospitals) and the urgency of some purchases don't support competition (i.e. ER visits)

A moderator downweighted it because there was a DuckDB thread on the front page for 16 hours just a couple days ago:

DuckDB – An in-process SQL OLAP database management system - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34741195 - Feb 2023 (99 comments)

HN operates on the basis of not having too much repetition on the front page. As seen at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34746724, there have also been lots of other DuckDB threads in recent months.

I realize a new release is rightly significant to the people working on the product and/or who are users of the product, and it would have been better for the major thread not to just be a generic post about the project. However, that distinction isn't as salient from a HN discussion point of view, because either way, the thread will fill up with comments about the product in general. You can see that quite clearly in the current thread. The important criterion from an HN point of view is "is this submission different enough to support a substantially different discussion", and in this case the answer is no, so the moderation call was correct.

It's quite impossible to learn about every major release of every major product from HN—frontpage space is the scarcest resource we have [1]. The front page could consist of nothing else and you still couldn't learn about them all from HN alone. Nor is that the purpose of the site; the purpose is intellectual curiosity [2]. Curiosity doesn't do well with repetition [2], so the median curious reader isn't served by having two big threads about the same product within days. Of course, we all have at least one project where we would love to see that, but it's a different choice in everyone's case and we have to try to serve everybody.

There's increasingly little ground between what the US uses and the EU uses, and will be even less ground over time as well. Is transferring EU Citizen Personally Identifiable Information to the US, in any capacity, even legal? Privacy Shield has been invalidated, the US passed the CLOUD Act, and GDPR is in force. Many experts say... it isn't, at all, it would just be chaotic if fully enforced.

In 2 countries in Europe, Chromebooks have been ruled incompatible and schools have been prohibited from rolling them out under this rationale, with more countries likely to come with similar rulings. Just one example of the internet and tech splintering. EU also wants to do nonsense that would not fly in the US like Chat Control. What happens to US-based non-compliant services? Looks like some way of banning them needs to come next...
The Chinese balloons weren’t in a large metropolitan area. more likely explanation is that this story has a pro-labor narrative, and that’s not what media companies are paid to push.
I think only allowing nonprofit hospitals would be worse than the current state of affairs. You'd still be asking private organizations to be responsible for ensuring we have adequate medical treatment available, but you'd very literally be relying on the charity of strangers to ensure that. For-profit medicine at least provides excellent incentives for corporations to spend the enormous sums of money needed to set up and run hospitals.

If you're against hospitals being for-profit businesses (which I think is a perfectly reasonable stance), it seems to me the real alternative would be government-run hospitals. Then you'd have a centralized, well-resourced organization that is generally incentivized to keep people healthy running things, rather than just hoping that enough non-profits get involved to serve the medical needs of the country.
Almost agree, but even banks there is huge variance, if you work in operations or cloud infrastructure might be much less hectic than working on quant or data science projects.

Because realistic viewpoints are generally disliked, regardless of platform. The whole upvote/downvote/hidden/shadow-ban mechanic is the death knell of discourse. Despite all of our technological advances, humanity has devolved back into tribalism in a big way. You can't even have a decent conversation anymore without some kind of metering, soft-censorship, shadow-action, or reprimand. It is enough to make you want to pour concrete for living, and have nothing to do with any technology short of what it takes to do your job. In fact, I'm not even sure I can make this post because of the dreaded "You're posting too fast."
It's scratching someone's itch. And apparently a lot of people's. So why don't we try to find out what the issue is instead of yelling at clouds?
Bigscreen is a VR app that’s been on the market for quite a few years. It focuses on VR movie watching in virtual theaters with other people. It works “ok” with current gen headsets. It feels like going to the movies wearing heavy ski goggles. The weight, comfort, resolution and optics of current VR headsets are not there yet. Looks like they sat down and designed the perfect VR headset that would showcase the experience they always wanted users to have in their app.
Bigscreen VR is the most disappointing VR app I've ever used. Please stop wasting time making hardware and make your app better.

I see the potential and I experience the need regularly: I want to watch movies with friends remotely in a cool VR environment that feels like we're watching together in a theater.

In practice my options are to:

- pay to watch "a vast movie selection" of 140 films, the majority of which are anime[1]

- run the buggy (and so aptly named) Bigscreen Beta PC client[2] which will probably crash during weird unlikely edge cases like your screensaver turning on and critically depends on your internet upload speed for a good movie watching experience for everyone. Get ready for frequent "wait is it showing a black screen for you guys?" troubleshooting. It only runs on beefy PCs right now but don't worry: a macOS version is being worked on circa 2019[3].

- send the video file to everyone and get them to download it to a folder of their headset (which involves running Android File Transfer; nontechnical friends will struggle) then start a shared room. Arguably the least painful option with the best overall quality.

When it works though it's so good. Watching a film in Bigscreen feels like watching a film in an actual theater. Their drawing and popcorn throwing features are hilarious and fun. Their spacial audio is a blast. Their selection of virtual theaters is plentiful.

Here's the experience I want to watch a film with friends in Bigscreen:

- log into my Netflix/Hulu/Disney+ account through Bigscreen

- create a new room

- pick a movie

- share an invite code

I understand for that to work Bigscreen would need to make complicated partnerships happen, so in the meanwhile I'd like to be able to:

- drag and drop a video file into bigscreen.com/newroom

- see an invite code I can join from my headset and share with other people

Please someone create this experience. You can use WebXR[4] to do the whole thing with the web stack you already know and you could probably just download a ready-made 3D model of a movie theater[5].

Lightning cost more to manufacture (especially relative to micro-USB), which made it a non-starter for widespread adoption.
An alternative used in people transport is that they just stop charging people or checking tickets. It doesn't disrupt transport, just cash flow to the employers / shareholders.
One of my clients insist on using Zoom. I have never installed it (after so many security issues in the earlier days, I'd rather not risk it). I just use it from the browser.

Every time I click to open a meeting it downloads the installer, which IMO is a horrible dark pattern. I despise them as a company, and don't find their product anything special.

That said, using it on the browser has an effectively null footprint and doesn't require updates.
These look light enough and have high enough resolution per-eye to possibly use them as a PC monitor.
When it is clear that the interests of the workers and the interests of the company aren't being decided evenly, it is time to repeal those laws. Until Democrats start unilaterally proposing new legislation to repeal those laws they have to share the blame. They contributed to this mess.
I'm pretty sure that's not a complete set of bypasses. I know for a fact that some bypasses require setting the referrer value (eg. so it's from google/facebook) or setting a specific cookie value. There's no way those can be done from a ublock filter list.
>> I really don’t think it’s a good idea to try to measure something as complex and multi-faceted as the evolution of an economy with a scalar.

Right? Even if we look at a single number, why not a distribution of that rather than just a total/average?

I think economics is an area that needs a LOT of work. Why we expect the fed to achieve 2 objectives (regulating the economy and inflation, and maybe unemployment) by turning a single knob (interest rate) is really strange to me. Meanwhile, congress thinks they can simply legislate outcomes...
The "Finish it for me" tool is the one I'm most excited to try. I literally spent last night doing tedious routing of a connector breakout, and then I wake up this morning to see a tool that might've done 90% of it for me.
