> IIRC: heat pumps aren’t even available for sale in many markets

If you've installed an airconditioning system which can cool and heat up your home you've installed a heat pump (air/air). They're hardly magic.
At least 9 times out of 10, the self-checkout is a better experience for me. I can scan things at my own pace, pack them in my bags the way I like, and listen to my D&D podcast rather than having to interact with a stranger, unless the system acts up.

As pxl97 said, I preferred being able to scan things as I shopped and not have to stop at the checkout except to pay, but the one place around here that had that discontinued it a few months ago.

We need to push back hard against the idea that automation is "stealing" people's jobs; the promise of automation has always been that of more money for less work. We need to remind everyone of that, and reverse the trend of automation simply putting more and more money in the pockets of the already-wealthy at everyone else's expense.
I find it fun, I'm not worried. If the work gets nuked in the future, so be it.
IANAL, but isn't that considered recording? If so, does two-party consent law come into play?
Good grief. They're using free flowing oil as the cooling medium instead of water in blocks.

I hoped to learn what the heat exchanger was made from - expect chlorinated water is fairly hostile to most exchanger materials. Anyone know the answer to that? Stainless and periodic replacement?

Have you had a medical billing experience recently? They don't care about facts, they care about maximizing the bill subject to plausibility constraints.

I fear that LLMs will kick this to a whole new level :(
You are not wrong; I did not think about this until you brought it up but it's a great plan to wrap nearly free customers, then get in bed with Health Insurers to reduce cost of care by recording and transcribing all doctor conversations, then alerting to possible fraud or excessive care based on patient input against your huge DB of patient interactions. Historically recording of the patient DR interaction has always been incredibly hard sell to do for the management types. Then insurers mandate chat capture with the visit summary billed to them. Love it!

> Meta is doing great and just had one year of not insane growth.

This completely overlooks the changes that happened in that one year of not insane growth.

Apple cut Meta's legs off and Meta has no indication on how they're going to regrow them. The Metaverse is flopping, FB is seen as a place for hate, youths don't have accounts, etc, etc, etc.

Facebook is not the future of social media and Meta has not come up with a viable alternative.
Just today there was this thread which about one of the alternatives which looks nice https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35143052

Thanks for clearing this up. This seemed like much ado about nothing, but I didn't want to assume that this guy was trying to appear more knowledgeable than he may be.

> Right, and being sessionStorage it's cleared on browser close, and the next time I visit I will be counted as another daily unique visitor right?

No! There are a few rudimentary mechanisms on top of each other if one of them fails as you described. The /track endpoint sets up http caching. So if sessionStorage fails, you still have that. Then there is also inspecting document.referrer. If it is the page you are already on, then it's definitely not a unique visit.

I get regular user feedbacks for all kind of stuff and unique visits being counted double was not reported once since now.

> (or why not just a cookie)

Because cookies are considered "bad". But technically basically just saving a boolean value on the cookie would not be worse from a privacy perspective than using sessionStorage for a boolean value.

> I personally would rather have the pages I visit use a self-hosted solution gather everything I do, instead of a third-party getting little data from many sites I use. If this script is used across many sites it can be checked server-side against my IP to get my usage. I can never verify what logs they keep and for how long.

That is a general problem with externally hosted services. You can audit the source code (https://github.com/ihucos/counter.dev) but there is not way to verify that my deployment is as stated. I heard a podcast once that web hosters could guarantee that a deployment is in a specific way and contains a specific code base revision. But such solutions unfortunately do not exist. If you really want to be sure self hosting is the way to go (but somewhat cumbersome)

If my doctor is googling he is doing his job.

He has medical knowledge which allows him to sort through information.

Any developer who doesn't google today is hindering his ability to develop and slowing the development process. Just like the dev cannot hold all the algorithms and language caveats/syntax in his head, a physician cannot hold all the information in his brain. He may not be familiar with symptoms or might be googling to see if there is anything "new" as pertaining to a patients specific issue.

> I agree with your general point, but suggesting non-techies should learn about cryptography in order to stay safe online is pretty ridiculous

I think it's about understanding concepts and uses, not the inner workings. As an example, Glenn Greenwald (despite being a reporter handling sensitive topics) didn't know how to use encryption when he was contacted by Snowden, and learned it later. [1]

I think it would be very useful if the general public could use encryption to the same level they drive cars.

Not OP. I faced a similar problem once.

I found a friend that owned the same model of phone as mine. I used his phone to approximately eye-measure where on the screen I have to press after entering the Settings app.

Now I repeated these presses on my phone.
Luckily, although my phone was broken and the screen had become almost fully black, the touches registered.

If you find it difficult to find a friend that owns your unique phone, your local mobile shop might have a demo phone for you to try out.

They are popular but anecdotally, if the general public is anything like me, they would be more likely to use those products if they werent owned by FB.
I would want my doctor to Google things. No one knows everything, but I expect an expert to know where to look. If he used Google the same way I do, he'd know which results are reliable. Doctors who finish med school and never consult a resource ever again cannot be good doctors.

In an ideal world, it would be lovely if managers wrote copperplate welcome notes on the finest perfumed paper, but they don't. They copy and paste a template or use a tool like Text Expander. This just makes the process slightly more convenient.
This is a good program to run if you are the type of person that likes to build their own scanners, especially if you write your own ssh pipelines.

Tell HN: Companies like Meta focusing on core competencies is an opportunity
Many tech companies are tightening their belts and focusing on the bottom line. They're going to be ditching projects that are huge opportunities because either they're not viable yet or they don't fit the companies' core competencies.

This in turn will create a heap of viable startup ideas, where a smaller, more agile startup will be able to compete with a piece of abandonware that already has users.

I don't see how "would you like 1/3rd odds or 2/3rd odds of winning" is less easy to understand that adding more numbers and layers to the problem by adding in words like $1Billion and 100 boxes.

Reminds me a of a quote by Chomsky about post-modernism (not what EY is, but similar to what you're talking about)

> Some of what appears in it sort of actually makes sense, but when you reproduce it in monosyllables, it turns out to be truisms. It’s perfectly true that when you look at scientists in the West, they’re mostly men, it’s perfectly true that women have had a hard time breaking into the scientific fields, and it’s perfectly true that there are institutional factors determining how science proceeds that reflect power structures. All of this can be described literally in monosyllables, and it turns out to be truisms. On the other hand, you don’t get to be a respected intellectual by presenting truisms in monosyllables.

Thanks for your comment. We clearly show a diff to the doctor before updating patient records. We are very explicit that they should check it (and edit if necessary).
> From the second source: "A bailout occurs when the government makes payments (including loans, loan guarantees, cash, and other types of consideration) to a liquidity-constrained private agent in order to enable that agent to pay its creditors and counterparties, when the agent is not entitled to those payments under a statutory scheme."

So literally not what happened, got it.

Of course you don't feel burdened by the meaning of words, but now at least anyone reading this will be aware that you don't know what "bailout" means, and that what happened in 2008 is nothing at all like what is happening now, and that was my goal. Mission accomplished.

Frankly David, you should know better. You've benefitted massively from these VCs already in your life, and at certain parts you would have been devastated to suddenly lose access to the very funds you're now advocating people be robbed of, but you clearly lack the ability to empathize with folks who want to travel a similar path to you.
People have been saying this for three generations now. And each new generation of rulers is more radically anti-human and pro-exploitation than the last. I hope you're ready for plan B.

This is an interesting take, and one that directly contradicts most leadership books. Are you aware of that, and how did you come upon this management style?
> Your 20s are a critical time for your career to make connections and friendships - in person. You need to be around people, making friends over beers and community lunches, and learning social skills in a professional environment.

No one is saying you don't need to be around people, but a job can be just a job. I don't need to make a ton of friends at work to do my job, and the idea that that should be a requirement/expectation needs to stop. It enables the chance for too many unhealthy boundaries to be created young workers that don't know any better. If you start in your early 20's and are made to see everyone as friends, family, etc. Then when someone tries to push you into a 12 hour day, it doesn't seem that bad. You can forge working/professional relationships virtually just as well, if you put the effort in.

Now sure it doesn't work for everyone, but again my argument isn't that one is worse than the other, it is just that we make too many blanket statements. What works for you might not work for me, and these organizations trying to force one or the other is harmful in the end. You can have co-existence, especially in a company the size of Meta, you can have a plenty successful office presence and remote presence.

> Are we that spoiled that the excuse is "I don't like public transportation"?

I don't think anyone said that in this thread... That being said, it shouldn't be a surprising fact that people in US cities dislike public transportation. In a previous job of mine, it was quicker to sit in 45 minutes of traffic outside of Washington DC then take the metro, and I was in an area with supposedly great access to public transit. Maybe if all these companies were serious about their workers' best interests they would do more to help invest in and lobby local governments to support public transportation.

> And many openly acknowledge that, but asking people to come to the office two times a week is not some sort of wage slavery.

If you were hired with the expectation to come into the office x number of days, that is fine. A lot of people were hired with the promise of being able to work remote, so changing that is where it tends to be a bit of a bad situation.

In general this animosity between office work and remote work advocates has gotten out of hand. These can co-exist.
Hacker News Stream with real time summarisation
It's wild how rigid society has become since computers became dominant. I read an article once that discussed how people who emigrated to the US prior to computers were generally unconcerned with making sure their name was romanized the same on every document, as all the humans involved were smart enough to understand "this is the same person even though the name is spelled slightly differently". Once computers took over, those people have had to "unify" their name across various documents, otherwise the computers do a literal comparison and reject it since clearly, the names are not the "same".

The result was it sometimes apologizes and changes the response. There’s definitely a benefit in providing clarity in prompts rather than broad, open ended questions.

Note that scrcpy has an OTG mode which allows to use the computer keyboard and mouse "as if" they were connected via an OTG cable: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/hid-otg... (in that case, USB debugging is not necessary)

> Can also plug in a keyboard and use that if you know the sequence.

For information, once the phone is unlocked and the authorization popup is open, the sequence to validate the authorization popup is Tab, Enter, Tab, Tab, Enter. The difficult part is to enable USB debugging to get the authorization popup without adb though.
Bottom line: "Door close" is not universally useful to all people.

On some elevators, it's programmed to actually close the doors for a regular passenger.

On some elevators, it's programmed to only respond to firefighters, janitors, or other people who have the ability to put the elevator into a local control mode.

It varies from building to building. Everything else is a placebo.
OK let's extend the analogy.

A government agency shows up and, with military-like efficiency, takes everything you have: your cash, your house, your other car, etc. It liquidates it all and uses that to pay back your cousins. You are now bankrupt.

The money does't quite fully cover your cousin's loans. They and many other cousins are now threatening to call all their loans made to other family members, which could lead to more bankruptcies. The government makes the special decision to pay them back in full. To do this, it takes money from an insurance fund that all the borrowers in your family have been paying into all along for exactly this purpose.

You are left with nothing, but some of your other cousins whine that you got a "bailout".
HIPAA only applies to healthcare providers I think. Private companies like the extension maker can do whatever they want. At least that’s what someone on the internet told me and maybe it’s wrong.
> The heat pumps I have seen personally in Europe are geothermal, very big, and very expensive.

In NL I saw loads of water/water heat pumps (so using geothermal) in plans for new buildings. The latest plans now seem to prefer air/water. The air/water is cheaper and the units nowadays are much quieter than they used to be. This is just my observations, I could be way off.
