It's really not productive to try and trace this back to an obligation to maximize profits. Firstly, it's not true according to the Supreme Court. And secondly, even we accept that it's something corporations should do or are doing, there are a million ways to judge what would be the maximally profitable strategy. You could say that they should jack up prices to maximize profits, but that's just one strategy for maximizing profits. They could lower prices in order to gain customer loyalty for example instead.

In this case, the limited competition isn't due to market consolidation, it's due to a disease wiping out a load of the supply.
Show HN: Location Finder – Find the best location to meet your remote team
Hey HN,

We have just updated our free tool, Location Finder https://www.surfoffice.com/location-finder

It is often challenging for remote teams to decide on the ideal spot to meet.
Location Finder calculates the most optimal location for everyone on the team to come together.

The flight algorithm takes into account the following criteria:
1. Average travel time per person (the most critical factor)
2. Average number of layovers per person
3. Estimated flight costs
4. CO2 footprint

This tool is based on Kiwi.com API, which searches flight connections from more than 500 airlines. It acts as an ‘advisor’ and is not a booking tool to help you find the optimal locations.

Try this example:
- Type in 5 people flying from Berlin, 12 people from London, 14 people from New York and see where it suggests you meet.

We look forward to hearing your feedback.

What's new/improved:
- Now you can search using both city and airport names
- We now evaluate results from the CO2 perspective and recommend the option with the lowest CO2 footprint (usually when part of the team does not fly)
- Better search suggestions; the tool now recognizes that Prague and Praha are the same thing, and you can use special characters like the city Košice
- We have added state information for US cities; for instance, typing "Portland" will now show options: Portland, OR or Portland, ME.
- Previously, we only showed search results for departures from now + 10 days. We have now updated this to now + 30 days, which better reflects people planning team retreats.
- We have fixed bugs and optimized the database for faster results.
This is the wrong example. The fact is that there is a whole industry in Germany that whose only purpose is to find out something illegal you did and then sue you doesn't change the fact that piracy is still illegal in Germany.

According to German, and many other law systems, piracy is stealing, it's just that in Germany they are enforcing it strictly thanks to those private firms.

There's no such thing as "downloading an mp3 or a book" by an accident. You know that you are downloading something illegally.

And that 80-year-old judge understands something you don't, that the internet is a neutral medium which doesn't make local laws void just because "you downloaded it from the internet".

> but that the way you're interacting with it is counterproductive if you want it to be useful to you like the person you first replied to rather than finding flaws in it

I can't speak to the answer the person I replied to got, because they didn't post it. If they got the answer I got asking the same question the answer they got wouldn't have been useful to them.

It's only counterproductive if I'm wrong. If I'm right that it's not yet useful for this sort of thing I'd only waste my time giving it more chances.

> in this case, at least GPT4 gives reasonable options even though the travel times are messed up

The reasonability of the options fundamentally depended on specific facts in this case. Mixing up a 3 hour train ride and a 12 hour train ride ruined the answer. So the answer I got from ChatGPT was fundamentally broken.
Yes I would download a car. I would download it so hard that the connection would turn red and swollen.
Seems like a cool project. Even after 15 plus years of using git I still get tripped up with some of the naming. I didnt check the internals but you mention not being able to rewrite if you push to remote. I think this is sort of a mistake because git has the lovely push force-with-lease that only force pushes if no other modifications have been made to the remote which is quite useful in a lot of scenarios
Netherland has had pretty permissive drug policies for quite some time now, and this seems to have lead to it becoming increasingly important in international drug trade. A couple of years ago there were some serious concerns about this getting out of hand. I have no idea what the current situation really is.

It's not happening with the kind of violence that you sometimes hear about from Mexico, though.

I've never even seen a LED bulb that wasn't 2700K. Also, do some bulb packs not list the incandescent equivalent wattage in addition to the Lumens?
Laws 1-3 are pretty standard across central Europe and I don't think anyone really gives them a second thought (and make things in many cases easier - like anmeldung making sure that voter registration and other important correspondence finds its way to people automatically).

The one about carrying an ID card at all times is creepy, but it also shows how the concept of "privacy" is a very personal thing for which different people have different tresholds.
I really like LED bulbs and use them everywhere I can. Unfortunately they suffer the same as anything that is forced by congress rather than evolving at the natural pace and replacing standard lighting sources when the technology is mature enough. Take for instance cell phones. They replaced landlines and were adopted by users because the technology was ready and they were better than the product they replaced. Imagine if congress had outlawed landlines. Same can be said for EV’s. IC vehicles are better in almost every aspect yet congress is doing everything it can to force their obsolescence before their time. The problem with that is that every time they do something like that they chip away at their credibility and when some real emergency comes along we the people aren’t so easily fooled.

It's especially important when there are people reading or listening who don't recognize the bad faith.
We live in a very different world in 2023 than we lived in back in 2008. For one thing, smartphone adoption has gone from (approximately) zero to well above 90% in most Western nations, and the use of transparent cloud smartphone backup has increased from 0% to nearly 100% of all smartphone users. Private messaging in 2008 meant niche networks like MSN and AOL on desktops. Mobile communication was done mainly by voice. In 2023 desktop messaging and phone calls are fading technologies. Mobile text (typically app-based messaging) is literally how the non-elderly communicate.

The way we engage with data is also very different. Back in 2008 I kept most of my photos and private papers in hard-copy form inside my house, or (perhaps) on a local hard drive. Today nearly all of my private papers and photos live in my phone, and for most people a duplicate copy lives on an Apple or Google server somewhere. Having your phone's data stolen is literally a life-altering event for many people, one that is mostly avoided through local data encryption. This is leaving aside the societal implications of ubiquitous scanning, which would effectively undo two centuries of limited policing.

This was also a time before massive data breaches and ransomware and revenge porn and data extortion were routine. The big high-profile leaks of celebrity nudes wouldn't happen until 2014. Indeed, the very notion of having cloud-backed smartphone photos stolen was hardly a thing, because cloud backup mostly didn't exist and routine use of phones to take private, explicit imagery was not a thing most people engaged in. In our time, sextortion has become so routine that it's a major category of child abuse. To deal with this changed landscape, security has been massively upgraded across cloud and messaging services. Part of that upgrade is the default use of user-controlled encryption for local data as well as the default use of E2E encryption for most messaging.

You can't say "everything was fine" because by and large most things were not fine. From a security perspective things were actually fairly bad! We've made a lot of progress since the time when photo scanning was first launched, including the launching of widespread encryption as a means to prevent breaches. Client-side scanning implies at least weakening some of those measures, and possibly eliminating others.
Does the average person remember the brand of lightbulb they purchased at Walmart or the hardware store? I would hope the buyers at stores would have better sense to buy half decent brand vs utter trash available through 3rd party sellers online. Not much hope though.

In fact they haven't even genuinely summarised even the quote they have half-copied. Let alone the article.

What I find annoying is the tendency to drag half a sentence out of context and parade it around as if that proves some point.

I am not any way affiliated with the company and I did the submission. I do believe that informative blog posts by industry insider should be allowed and it is not bad practice to promote your company. Especially on HackerNews where it is relevant for audience (no conflict of interest with YCombinator funded companies?).

Otherwise any SaaS ecosystem could become AWS/Google/Microsoft well known names only. Rules should be also equally applied. E.g. Each GitHub blog post promotes GitHub and thus Microsoft.

It's basically, how cleanable is the surface. The surface should be a material that doesn't retain anything after being wiped and ideally there are no seams for bacteria to fester in. This is why stainless is so popular.

I think that is actually easy to do. Ceramics are food grade, and people have been making those at home for centuries.

For espresso gadgets I think the biggest risk is the heating element.
> Make it pay a small fee to add an npm package, and the problem will disappear.

As will many useful packages because people just won't bother no matter how small the small fee is. For some they simply can't (no access to internation payment systems), for others they simply won't want the extra admin (I know I wouldn't, being lazy^H^H^H^Htime-efficient as I am).

A free alternative will spring up, many will move to that, and once it becomes significant enough it'll become a spam target, and we are back where we began except things are a bit more fragmented so less convenient for all.

> To make payments frictionless and anonymous, accept cryptocurrency.

That still blocks some financially (what if someone can ill afford any currency, crypto or otherwise?) and many on “why should I bother” (I don't have any crypto accounts, I have to learn a new system to pay someone so I can give my stuff away for free?).

This also breaks the small fee matter. If the fee is genuinely small enough it is very easy for an effective spammer to socially engineer a few bits of cryptocurrency out of an innocent fool.
The problem with AppImage is that it doesn't tackle the core issue of software distribution: how to build the software so that it runs on all the systems you want it to run on.

Flatpak and Snap have SDKs for this purpose, but with AppImage an ISV is forced to guess which libraries need to be bundled and which may be dynamic link dependencies from the OS.

Not to mention the requirement for fuse2, which is being replaced with fuse3.
I must admit I do kinda like it when I submit an article I wrote and find it's already here with comments. :-)
It's Not About the Job Openings
An AGI being able to wipe out humanity doesn't necessarily mean that it can take over the universe. The world's governments are already capable of causing extreme suffering through a nuclear war. AGI risk scenarios aren't equivalent to an unbounded intelligence explosion. An AGI only needs to be more powerful than humanity to be a threat. It can be a threat even if it isn't that intelligent, as long as it gives unprecedented power to a few individuals or governments.

Both humanity and a super-intelligent AGI are bound by the laws of physics. Super-intelligence does not imply omnipotence; it simply means that the AGI is orders of magnitude more intelligent than humans. If humans can figure out how to colonize the Milky Way in 90 million years, then the answer to the question of why no AGI has done it is the same as the answer to the question of why no extraterrestrial species has done it.
This is weird. I buy the most basic Dollar Tree LED bulbs for every outlet in my home and I haven't had any of the problems in the article (for about 4 years so far). Occasionally one will blow then I just toss in another dollar bulb (maybe 4-5 so far). The light color and "quality" is perfect too. Granted, I don't have any fancy dimmer switches or anything but hey, maybe try the basic Dollar Tree bulbs :)
It is quite interesting that 2700K is often considered to be a "normal" color temperature, even though it is much yellower than sunlight (around 5000K, depending on atmospheric scattering). This stems purely from a technological limitation of incandescent bulbs. The bulb filaments simply cannot withstand a temperature significantly above 2700K. Even though LED bulbs have no such limitations, a color temperature of only 2700K is often chosen.
That doesn't happen when apps are packaged in their own containers with all dependencies. The new version you installed has its own python dependencies.
This seems like an arms race doomed to failure. The spammers can just add Hello World to pass the check. Then the check could be upgraded to look for some non-trivial behavior. Then the spammers will work around that. ... all at increasing costs to the package hosts. And now they have to be arbiters on what counts as trivial functionality.

"We" might not have changed our ask at all. "We" might be referring to two divergent groups with minimal defectors.

Many people have been urging caution for a long time. As we get closer to more features and capabilities those people are going to ride on the publicity of those achievements to call out their warnings. This will garner more interest because the threat seems closer or more real as the capabilities increase (or at least appear to be so due to company hype).

Then there are many others who are excited and still pressing ahead.
I think things like price pressure/ consumers just buying the cheapest bulb possible happens regardless.
I think bandcamp shows that there are people who still want to purchase and download a digital version and contribute directly to artists (on top of purchasing physical media).

I personally, want a lossless version that I can archive, have on my offline portable music player, stream to my phone, and stream through jellyfin to my stereo.

That fits better to the style of music I listen to, and how _I_ listen to music (I don't shuffle and listen to full albums only)
Cheap LED bulbs generate the worst light I’ve ever experienced. But after some research I found that there are options that make a nice warm light with no perceptible flickering.

I'd also plug lazygit. I didn't grow up with line editors. When the state has multiple lines I'd rather see it all at once in a window rather than peek at bits and then have to remember the context in my head.

Lazygit is roughly similar to magit but it's written in go so it starts quicker if you don't already live in emacs.
To the article's point, I think the discussion centers around a good definition of "the rules." The case the article makes is that the law uses a deliberately vague definition to wield against any "foreign adversary" (China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela.)

I'm not personally against some sort of action in this regard, but would prefer stricter definitions to be applied to avoid abuse of power.

https://www.solux.net/cgi-bin/tlistore/index.html

became famous for high color temperature lights for art museums also used to make an advanced incandescent bulb that had something like a halogen bulb inside of it. Those bulbs do really well on my test, I still have a stock of them, and I use them when I need to make fine color distinctions. I've seen bulbs with a similar construction for sale at Dollar General but I haven't tested them.

Note there is a tradeoff between an RGB bulb that gives really saturated colors and one that gives good color rendition. If saturation was what mattered you'd want laser-like spectral lines, for color rendition you want each component to have a broad spectrum.

There's no reason why LED light can't have excellent quality however anyone defines quality because you're not limited to the raw output of the LED but you can tune the output with a phosphor. Consumers have to demand something better though and the market has to respond.
