I believe this has to do with managers being required to constantly estimate cost, time, and ROI with precision, minimizing risk.

I like Basecamp’s shape up methodology: make bets of efforts that are worth 6 weeks of the team’s time, commit to the best one, timebox it. If it takes longer than 6 weeks, throw it away. This way the risk is limited to six weeks.

Few managers would be willing to stake 6 weeks of a team’s time though.

Corporations have purchased our government and therefore the government is, in my opinion, not in charge. Sure they enact violence as all nation states do- often on behalf of those corporations.

Dating apps don’t make their data available to scientists, that would be nice though!

For sure life is more easy for hot people, off or on dating apps. It’s true in bars and clubs too. In settings where people have more of a time to get to know each other it probably matters less, even if it always plays a role. It’s just that, as long as society’s concept of a relationship is still two people together, and not one person with a harem, these attractive people at the top of the pyramid will end up being picky too.
Get ready for all of the posts about Apple silicon trouncing Intel and AMD.
Your prior should be that after Amazon acquires a company and Amazon "leaders" make their way into the corporate structure, that company will go downhill in terms of any customer-service differentiator. cf Zappos, Whole Foods, etc.

The differentiators - usually reflected in motivated staff with the freedom to solve customer problems, but also in the case of WF a focus on quality fresh food, etc - will be relentlessly driven down.

WF continues to be "premium" but it's definitely not the same chain that it was a decade ago.
Some form of this thought is irresistible, but we shouldn't hesitate to point out the obvious flaws. You load up your car with more people and more stuff when you go on a trip, and more batteries would add MORE load on the frame. This doesn't work. Ideally, you would add another axle.

Suspend disbelief and follow that thought to its logical conclusion.

You have almost certainly PLANNED your trip. You know what time you will depart, and the trip may take 4 to 10 hours, done in a single day. Additionally, you will spend 30 minutes packing your car, and more space is a premium. Keep following me, just a little bit longer..

The day before you depart at, say 3pm, a worker from an established car rental service pulls up in front of your house and parks on your street. They unhitch a trailer from their car, do some technical checks, and are gone in 5 minutes.

You arrive home from work, and have a trailer that will add 400 miles of range to your car and offer extra packing space (for things). You pack up the trailer & car and go to bed. In the morning, as you pull out, you get out and hook up the trailer.

Depending on your trip, you may charge up the car & trailer once, or not at all. I'm guessing that it will be able to connect two chargers at once.

This seems like not-a-bad-idea, and compatible with current infrastructure. While it incurs a cost, and requires EVs to be built for the purpose, it's a much more minor change than battery swapping. The cost could be quite small compared to the other solutions for the same problem, and it frankly sounds more direct.

Launch HN: Depot (YC W23) – Fast Docker Builds in the Cloud
Hey HN! We’re Kyle and Jacob, the founders of Depot (https://depot.dev), a hosted container build service that builds Docker images up to 20x faster than existing CI providers. We run fully managed Intel and Arm builders in AWS, accessible directly from CI and from your terminal.

Building Docker images in CI today is slow. CI runners are ephemeral, so they must save and load the cache for every build. They have constrained resources, with limited CPUs, memory, and disk space. And they do not support native Arm or multi-platform container builds, and instead require emulation.

Over 4 years of working together, we spent countless hours optimizing and reoptimizing Dockerfiles, managing layer caching in CI, and maintaining custom runners for multi-platform images. We were working around the limitation of multi-platform builds inside of GitHub Actions via QEMU emulation when we thought "wouldn't it be nice if someone just offered both an Intel and Arm builder for Docker images without having to run all that infrastructure ourselves". Around January of 2022 we started working on Depot, designed as the service we wished we could use ourselves.

Depot provides managed VMs running BuildKit, the backing build engine for Docker. Each VM includes 16 CPUs, 32GB of memory, and a persistent 50GB SSD cache disk that is automatically available across builds—no saving or loading of layer cache over the network. We launch both native Intel and native Arm machines inside of AWS.
This combination of native CPUs, fast networks, and persistent disks significantly lowers build time — we’ve seen speedups ranging from 2x all the way to 20x. We have customers with builds that took three hours before that now take less than ten minutes.

We believe that today we are the fastest hosted build service for Docker images, and the only hosted build service offering the ability to natively build multi-platform Docker images without emulation.

We did a Show HN last September: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33011072. Since then, we have added the ability to use Depot in your own AWS account; added support for Buildx bake; increased supported build parallelism; launched an eu-central-1 region; switched to a new mTLS backend for better build performance; simplified pricing and added a free tier; and got accepted into YC W23!

Depot is a drop-in replacement for `docker buildx build`, so anywhere you are running `docker build` today, you replace it with `depot build` and get faster builds. Our CLI is wrapping the Buildx library, so any parameters you pass to your Docker builds today are fully compatible with Depot. We also have a number of integrations that match Docker integrations inside of CI providers like GitHub Actions.

We’re soon launching a public API to programmatically build Docker images for companies that need to securely build Docker images on behalf of their customers.

You can sign up at https://depot.dev/sign-up, and we have a free tier of 60 build minutes per month. We would love your feedback and look forward to your comments!

Lol. Friend of mine works in real estate... losing keys is very common.

And how many people have that? Know that? Don't skip the dialog warnings because they've been conditioned to do so? And on top of that, what about the services that only support one 2FA device like Amazon AWS with Yubikeys?

Google claims breakthrough in quantum computer error correction
Writing high-performance clients for TigerBeetle
It maybe doesn't come naturally to most people to be able to take in information from speech at high speeds, but it is definitely possible to learn. I am blind, and use a screen reader. My screen reader's voice is many times faster than normal human speech. (I don't know exactly how much faster, but most people can't understand a word of it.) I also listen to non-fiction podcasts and books at 1.5-2x speed, although I almost always listen to fiction at normal speed unless the reader is painfully slow.
You say that now, but you'll love the Speakwrites. You can just talk into them and they'll write for you, with realtime correction of grammar and misinformation.
Is it just me or does the author not really understand what a family iCloud is?

It's not merging accounts as they seem to think it is. I don't gain access to my partners data just because we are on a family plan. Really the only "issue" we have is the credit card has to be the same but that's such a small issue to resolve since we have a shared credit card for shared expenses.

I don't really see the issue with going the route of just setting up a family link between your separate accounts if you have a dog together. Honestly that feels like more of a commitment...

Regardless of that for a moment. I think its better that the only way you can "share" a AirTag is through family. I can't really think of a reason that this would be an issue with friends that can't be easily solved by the 24 hour notice (or worst case needing to do that for a few days if you are doing a trip together or something).

Adding the ability to permanently do this otherwise I would worry could either be accidentally enabled or have a strong risk for abuse.
Now watch nothing happen to them.
No more popular than it is today. The vast majority of regular people don't give two cents about what is under the hood - just what a computer can or can't do with them.
What's interesting is that the red zone is literally a line following the south of the San Pablo and Suisun Bays. There are not high prices in the part of the bay area around San Jose or in in Southern California. If it was really about statewide regulations you'd expect the whole state to be a red zone and it isn't. Instead I'd be looking for some bottleneck which affects that area, which I must admit I don't have a good mental picture of.
> Apple's iTunes prices were low enough that it became simpler just to buy stuff legally than pirate it.

I think this is why Spotify/Netflix are so successful. Streaming a good amount of content for a reasonable price is more convenient + less time wasted (+ less stress and moral implications) compared to pirating.

I used to pirate music/videos all the time and the moment those services were available I stopped because it was just easier to use them. Good UX can trump many other factors.
> Inflation is at 6.4 percent right now.

In my experience, whether inflation is 2% or 6% or 8%, your employer doesn't care. You have next to no leverage to demand a constant static cost-of-living-pegged-1:1-to-inflation raise.

yeah, if inflation is 8% and you don't get an 8% raise you effectively get a paycut. What are you going to do, strongarm your employer and demand they give you at least a "CPI trailing 12 months" raise every 12 months? not realistic in my opinion/experience
> Copyright is not property

It distresses me greatly that we've forgotten this so thoroughly that you see people actually saying out loud that copyright is a property right. It most certainly is not, and was never represented as such until fairly recently.
Gmail sometimes lets through particularly obvious spam, of the kind that heuristics could definitely catch.

It's almost certainly a lack of will, or an insistence on filtering in a particular way. (Eg. considering themselves above heuristics, insisting a fancy AI must catch it)

To give you an example, one piece of spam that hit my Gmail inbox recently came from an address like: 6UGH578FDJ3@abusejan.beauty

On that email, Gmail shows a warning that the sender's domain didn't encrypt the message. The email is in a mixture of German & English. Most of the email is one big image. The unsubscribe link text is: "To be removed from our mailing list please?Click Here? Unsub-HERE"
It can mean many things, but it will generally eventually boil down to some sort of sexual relation at some point in the future, not necessarily in the context of, but also not excluding, a relationship. There could be other possible outcomes of a courtship (living together with no sex?), but I think that's the most common.

How does a bookstore go from being a bookstore that now controls the internet's infrastructure and now my healthcare?

I don't know but money isn't the answer. Back then, in 1980's Germany book wholesellers Koch, Neff & Oetinger and Lichtenbrink pioneered robotic storage, and for very much the same reasons as Amazon. They were logistics giants that would deliver your book overnight, but they did not go on do dominate the world.
He didn't say anything about 'non-capitalists'. Your little noisy clique isn't as large as you think it is. Besides, given how expansively I've seen "capitalism" defined on the internet by its detractors, conservation of energy qualifies as capitalist oppression.
I played Star Trek: Legends on Apple Arcade and it was deeply weird. It was a game that was clearly designed for a microtransaction model, with loot boxes, "rare" items, multiple in-game currencies and timers, etc - and in the Apple Arcade edition, exactly zero ways to spend money on any of it. Like a Chuck E Cheese with all the ticket machines set to free play.
I'm confused.

Wow. Great analogy with IE! You make good points. Touché.
that would make no sense in the context of a MacBook. The phone notch and dynamic island is a freestanding element. The notch on the MacBooks is embedded in the menubar. There would be no “island”. It might be possible for Apple to add Live Activities to the notch on the MacBook (That is what those dynamic notices are called) but only if more software publishers put in the effort.
I have gotten more enjoyment out of watching some silent-era movies than modern release movies. Particularly, the 1916 20,000 Leagues is great. In general I don't think there is any real relationship between the age of a movie and the quality of a movie; quality movies are more or less evenly distributed through time. Sometimes film makers strike gold through some fortunate coincidence of inspiration, talent and luck, and most of the time they don't. And yes, that means most old movies aren't good; but most new movies aren't good either.

The passage of time doesn't play a role, because even though individual directors/actors get more experience with age, they also age out of the industry and get replaced with new guys. And besides, it is very often the case that movies get worse as a director ages. Compare The Godfather to anything Francis Ford Coppola has made in the past 30 years. Or Michael Mann's Thief and Manhunter to anything he's done in the past 20. Or Ridley Scott's filmography. There are many examples like this; experience counts for something but old men often lose their edge.
> If you aren't getting a wage increase above the annual inflation rate each year then not only you're not getting a raise, you're actually getting paid less for the same work

You're not wrong but I don't think it's realistic to expect every single year your employer to give you a "1:1 with CPI" raise.

If anything, maybe 0% one year or 2 years and then maybe a 10-15% next year (if you worked on some really key deliverable projects where it can be justified).

Is that your experience?

> but if so then where were people originally getting music to put on iPods

The first iPod was a Mac-only Firewire device. "You need a Mac with Firewire support to even use this thing" set a minimum platform spec that also made other things implicit — in this case, the availability of a CD-ROM drive. (Which wasn't a given in 2001, but was a given on any Mac that had Firewire support.)

iTunes the software was introduced alongside the iPod; but the iTunes Music Store was not. iTunes was, at first, a CD ripping program (and library manager for music ripped from CD.) To buy music for your iPod, you'd go to the record store, buy a CD, put it in your Mac, rip it, and then load it onto the iPod.

And while, yes, music piracy slightly predated the iTunes Music Store, there were a lot of people buying iPods in that era who had fancy Mac computers, but just plain didn't have internet service to their homes, and so for whom music piracy wasn't really a possibility†. 2001 was an interesting time; Internet access was still very unevenly distributed, and in ways that had nothing to do with economic conditions. Rural areas might have phone lines so bad that even a 28.8kbps modem wouldn't work over them. The rollout of ISDN was only just getting started, and was limited to regions with less red tape (much like fiber rollouts in the last decade.)

† Well, okay, a different form of music piracy was probably happening in these Internet-starved areas: if you were willing to shell out for a CD burner for your Mac (not an internal option, rather an external SCSI-over-Firewire one), then you could also use iTunes to burn those ripped songs back onto a mix-tape CD — and then you could give them to your friends, who could in turn rip them to their PCs. Shame about the quality loss in the process (given iTunes' default ripping encoding of 128kbps AAC — though 256kbps AAC was possible even back then), but it'd be no worse than what dubbing between literal compact cassettes would get you, and certainly better than what you'd get by downloading the Napster-standard 96kbps MP3. (And CD-to-CD streaming bitwise dubbing was also possible back then, too, but not with iTunes, only expensive third-party software; I don't think anyone but professional bootleggers had any reason to try that for music. It was more a thing for ensuring you get clean working copies of PC "must have the CD-ROM in to play" games.)
This data is wildly inaccurate. Spot checking actual prices in the Walmart app in my neighborhood shows 130% swings in price between locations with the cheaper location prices just plain wrong. The actual prices are roughly the same for a dozen Great Value eggs of varying sizes (large, jumbo, etc) and the cheaper prices on Eggspensive don’t exist. In fact they’re lower than the price for 6 eggs at all the stores I checked.
This is strongly contradicted by how frigging long movies have gotten. Old action movies are often in the 90-120 minute range. New action movies - that are supposedly lacking that old filler - are often 3 hour slogs.
I have noticed a huge uptick recently in emails (I use Gmail) from legitimate companies telling me the likes of: I registered but never logged in, I still have something in my cart or "thanks for your feedback - we'll be in touch".

I imagine it's spammers trying to screw up the spam filters but since most of them get through (makes sense), having to deal with the 20 or so a day is irritating.
> Say a square kilometer of denuded farmland is converted to forest.

In principle I'd agree, but: again this really depends on soil type and history and surroundings and type of forrest. The forrest won't be bad, but depending on factors as far as sequestration goes (and biodiversity as well to some extent) it could actually be better to turn the farmland into a meadow. Those don't necessarily have to be wetlands to sequester more carbon over the course of years. Just like for every new square kilometer converted to whatever, it might actually be worth more to try and preserve one square kilometer of rainforrest instead of having it cut down.

For the unvarnished truth about when resolution is good enough, look at what Apple calls Retina. 4K at 21-inch, 5k at 27-inches, 6k at 32-inches. The resolution for all those displays is good enough to stop individual pixel perception. That's the best idea of what's good enough.
Normal desktop monitor viewing distance (at the back of an 80cm deep desk), but I'm going to use it at 1x scaling. 65" will probably make the text too small -- I think the ideal resolution would be an ~80" display, but 75" and 85" TVs would be wider than my desk.
What is going on with titles? Do physicists really put on boxing gloves hoping that physical violence will resolve a scientific argument? Is this a new widely accepted approach?
