The thing you need to know is that it is the name of the Joy Division album with the iconic cover. I didn't know that until I read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35401185 which was posted a few hours earlier.
The free Saturday busses [1] fill this niche pretty well, although the scooters are probably more convenient if you’re not traveling along one of the lines. They don’t solve the issue of the trains and inter-city busses being down, so people that want to visit their parents in another township still need to own a car.

ChatGPT also is being censored pretty heavily.
18% seems a lot, I did Google and Louisiana seems to have the highest sales tax, and entering 70726 as my pin on checkout gives me a tax of $87.49; totalling $886.49. Still a 100$ shy of the price.
very similar to my own experiment on Ender 3 and also to the tons of posts on reddit
Actually, the ender experience is more a lego experience when you have to buy tons of add ons, upgrades, days to learn systems & paramters in slicers & firmwares.
Also think about the Ender 3 burning PSU trend 4 years ago.
times to times, another comment pop on reddit such as "i own 12 ender 3 and sell my production, never did a single upgrade, printing at 50mm and it works like a charm since day one" but it's not majority
Is there an actual source for that or are you just here to complain about Stable Diffusion users flooding your Twitter with AI waifus?

If David is such a "big dreamer hippie dork," he should: 1. either open source the model or at least make it cheaper ($8/month for just 200 images is ridiculous) and 2. not bow down to dictators, or just stay out of political subjects completely.
Which US state has 18% sales tax???
Not exactly. It was an oil with large molecules.

It satisfied all the culinary requirements for being oil without being a lipid we could use, because it was too big to be absorbed. So it came through the tract as-is. Some people weren’t, er, oil-tight and experienced some seepage.

In the upthread scenario you’d be using something to block receptors so more real sugar can be absorbed but not metabolized. To your point, then it passes through, like the fake oil. But it’s because it has the assist from the blocker rather than itself being incompatible.

I’m a little surprised there’s an existing drug that does this though. I thought excess sugar heading through the kidneys was bad.
Ah right, of course...
I personally think it makes perfect sense for FULLstack "founding" engineers (that are not expected to become CTOs) to be cofounders with significant equity, assuming of course they're joining at a risky phase (saying that as an experienced engineer who's both a freelance and solopreneur).

Other than that, it's all a function of compensation/risk, safety, and effort compared to their other options.
Just ban cars first. They are big, dangerous, smelly, loud, driven too fast and they actually kill thousands of people per year, not just cause dangerous situations.
Any problem e-scooters have is multiple times worse with cars and they actually have 95+% of the infrastructure dedicated to them and aren't forced into narrow parts of sidewalk called bike lines.
People in the US are plenty used to rules forbidding certain speech on basically every platform that I'm aware of. Slurs, personal attacks, politics, excess profanity, drug discussions, sexual discussions, excess arguing, etc, are all things that are frequently banned or discouraged in many communities.
The original poster was trying Windows, Android and Roku devices. If this sort of thing bothered them, they would never have even tried.
It's never this black and white, also not needed. Usually city centers are closed _for outsiders_, while allowing the residents and local business traffic. This already curbs the traffic a lot and reduces also a lot the need for a second car lane - or such.

Edit: just for clarity: this model is already working (plumbers, movers and locals included).
For Isabelle Vanbrabant, any regulations are too late. The pianist at Paris’s famed opera was coming home from work last month and walking across a square near Les Halles when a rider on an electric scooter came up from behind, knocking her over and continuing on his way.

She fell on her right arm, suffering multiple fractures. She yelled for the rider to return, which he then did, and to call for help. However, her prognosis is uncertain.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/06/paris-taking-s...
The big question on whether e-scooters are great or awful really depends on what they're replacing. Bikes? Then they're awful. But cars? Then they're fantastic. But which is it?

In Amsterdam, my impression is that fat-tired e-bikes have become the standard replacement for mopeds, which I think is an improvement.
The copyright infringement comes about later, when that mass of numbers is used to produce a topically related work. The same rules apply for humans -- see the concept of "clean room implementation".
> [2:39] ... Actually a maze becomes very easy to solve if you colour the two parts separately.

Breezing through that example like he didn't just blow my mind, wow. It makes so much intuitive sense.
I really thought this was satire, at first. How low are the expectations from 2020s hardware?
Alright, now suppose someone does. Doesn't that mean Microsoft has to rework all work they made with these codebases using this legal argument and not a fair use one? Doesn't even doing this set them up for a potentially very expensive compliance action?
Better bike paths, and personal ownership.

I wonder.. count the number of pedestrians hurt, vs the number of car deaths. I'll take the broken arm over massive internal damage.

I suspect if you were given a choice: Get hit by a car doing 40, or a scooter doing 40, you'd pick the scooter.
2.5 Gb/s symmetrical is a sweet deal. Here in Italy in a town of 3k people I got "only" a 1Gb/s symmetrical, but so far I can't complain. It costs 25€/month so it's a pretty great deal
Wait till you see how parked cars litter sidewalks and streets. Every one of them takes as much space as tens of e-scooters as well. It's really annoying cars have that free-for-all start anywhere - leave it anywhere model.
I can sympathize.

It can be personal too, and I wouldn't blame him. Getting denied a Visa to China would be the the easiest problem. The worst would be getting arrested (Chinese friendly airport), possibly extradited because you ran a satire generation service?

If he just wants satire and his goals aren't to fight political battles, this stance makes perfect sense. I'd like to be able to visit China without fear, too. Even simply transiting would bring up anxiety.
> they'll be able to boost the number of satellites in orbit from ~4k to 30k,

And potentially screwup the upper atmosphere by polluting it with vaporised aluminium as the satellites re-enter

And definitely pollute the night sky too
Co-pilot spits back protected expressions, not novel expressions based on ideas harvested from code. It is therefore violating the licenses of numerous free and open source projects. The author is right to be pissed.
The funny thing is that most people in the current Italian gov, and their followers, don’t even speak proper Italian!
They mostly speak “italianized” versions of their dialects, incidentally more detrimental than any foreign word lacking a proper translation.
They constantly butcher both grammar and syntax and if you correct them they get all mad and worked up.
I always found ridiculous their pointless attachment to a language they don't even speak.
It's just shortaighted propaganda without any real vision behind it if not the systematic, pointless, and toxic opposition to any kind of change and moving forward.
My read of the article is that it’s only about rental scooters. Personal scooters aren’t covered, and remain allowed.
I ordered KPN gigabit internet but I live on my own and probably don't need the bandwidth.

It's cheaper than Ziggo' coax though (300 mb).
Living in a major city which also has a buzz about banning scooters and scooters being banned in some more posh neighborhoods already, I have problem with this.

The problem is obviously not the existence of scooters but how people would pile them up or ride them carelessly on sidewalks. IMHO, the solution would be to create infrastructure and usage rules. Seize the scooters from those who do not comply. Eventually, either the scooters would stop causing problems or they will no longer exist.
This is super cool, would love to see the work thats gone into it.

Havent played around too much with WebGL but this is a tiny inspiration.
In other words, you would like the docker persistence model and hand roll it?
Cutting burn would suggest not taking on extra investment, sitting out the dip and coming out a leaner, meaner but healthier company afterwards.

If you're going to be wiped out anyway then maybe that's a better bet?
WWID?

I know nothing of this life path, but I think I would up my own salary to what I am worth, if I feel it is too low. What is your role? CEO?

Say you doubled your salary to $350k, then over 2 years that is $350k, or 10 days burn. Doubt anyone will notice.

Probably need to downsize a bit to get costs under control too?

Yes this sounds like an asshole move but I think it is an asshole "relative" to the very humble choices you have made so far, so a reversion to the mean, and I think the right thing to do.

Take care of yourself and your health especially.
Would you still need more financing if you cut costs enough? Are you able to cut costs enough to become profitable, cashflow positive and still grow revenues?
Oh and don't get me started about the latency all the trash causes to the start menu. I had this routine, computer starts, you press win-key type 2 letters hit enter and the program you want starts instantly.

Since Windows 11 this is horribly slow, like seconds sometimes, especially the first load. I can assure you this is not my hardware setup.

Clearly their goal is not "provide the best, smooth and performant user experience we can possibly squeeze out of our OS".
Check out chocolatey. It's the package manager that Windows lacks.
Exactly! What most people seem to mean by tech is was it founded in the 90s and does their home page use react
This whole open source thing is the biggest farce on planet Earth. Someone with a good knowledge about geeks and their behaviour concocted up this open source bullshit. So now talented people give their skill to the "whole" and they have to beg for contributions and donations to get by. And other geeks (not suits with ties) finance the ones they sympathise with. It's ridiculous.

And faceless entities use their hard work for who knows what, but mostly to fatten up their already oversized corp and give back NOTHING.

And people, seemingly without common sense suck up to companies that rob them, and even disseminate their shiny new "free" tools.

This would be a Hugo-Nebula award winner novel if it wouldn't be reality.
This is good.

In the UK, personal scooters are still illegal, and the problems with rental schemes seem to be being used to keep it that way :(
Programming Affects Your Brain
Humanity is nature and natural, everything we produce and do is literally just a transformation of something that already exists.

What's the difference between the honey created by bees and the nuclear waste of a nuclear reactor?

If you get rid of the pro-not-human narrative there is none.
Ah, but then the same applies for rented bikes too? Plenty of cities have those, nothing actually specific to e-scooters.
What do you mean? American internet is full of porn.
The simulation theory simply postpones the hard problem of consciousness. It's like a magician trick, pulling wool over the eyes, moving your attention away from the real problem long enough, so that you stop thinking about it.
The whole argument about "they clog the streets" and annoy me is absolutely contrary to the actual incentives to cheaper and more ecological transport.

It's a very NIMBY type of thinking.

Hey, Citizen, if you don't have the means to buy, store and charge your own and occasionally would need one to deal with the craziness and unreliability of public transport, we are going to make it harder on you.

Many countries in Europe keep punishing people who don't own cars or other vehicles while pretending they care about the environment. They do the same with bikes or e-bikes.

See also the insane cost of train tickets Vs flights.

If govs were honest about the environment they would create incentives (positive, not punitive) to foment good forms of transport with good quality of life.

Instead, it's a very classist system.

HN will probably not get this due to the demo that either owns cars in the US or is on a more privileged class in Europe and likely also owns vehicles and property.
What makes it remarkable?
> This is quite important.

I'd go a step beyond and claim that e-bike sharing services like Lime are extremely detrimental to an urban space while adding nothing to mobility and sustainability. They are mainly gimmicks used to litter urban spaces whose only purpose is to serve as a kind of coin-operated joyrides. These operators come in and dump truckloads of things onto the public space, scatter them around, and pretend that this is ok.

This ban has nothing to do with e-whatever, environment, mobility, or even economy. It's getting rid of an abusive practice that was a net loss for everyone involved.
The safest way would probably to find a way saving ~10% in cost through all means necessary while keeping revenues stable. If that's somehow possible, you stop burning cash and are not reliant on external investors anymore.

Maybe ask your employees? I'm sure they also don't want someone to come in and take control. And quite often, employees can think of creative ways to save money that the CEO doesn't know of.

As you describe your situation, your COO would be the perfect candidate to find that money.
The Caymans are there for tax avoidance: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/nov/20/427bn-a-yea...

I can see the argument that someone from, say, Argentina would benefit from the improved stability, but someone from a Western country is decreasing that country's stability by benefiting from it but refusing to pay for it. I would entirely support the EU making it illegal for EU nationals to do business with Cayman in the same way the US makes it illegal to do business with Cuba.
Now do it with a superfluid [1].

There is a group of people (customers), for whom hardware being open source matters. That group will buy Prusa printers, because of "openness", and refuse to buy Bambu Lab printers, because they are mostly proprietary.

You can either sell to that group and accept the cloning, or not sell to that group by going proprietary and making cloning more difficult.
In 90% of inner city streets you could just block through traffic for cars and reduce traffic to almost zero, without inconveniencing people living there.
More victim blaming from car obsesses culture. Problems with e-scooters come from them being forced to narrow and unusable infrastructure. Allow them on the road, let them park in places cars park and it will be better. As usual it's easier to ban people trying to avoid driving a 2-ton smelly and dangerous metal box everywhere instead of actually solving the problem.
Radar, AI identify Alaska Native Spanish flu victims burial site
> Funnily enough we have the exact opposite in the UK. Private scooters banned, rental scooters laying all over the pavement.

The Untold History of Women and Incident Management
Steve Jobs has new 'memoir,' more than 11 years after he died
I've gotten my last two offers -- as a senior engineer at Dropbox and as an engineer at a top-end quantitative trading firm -- from cold resume submission without any networking. I also got interviews in this last round from both Jane Street and Hudson River Trading based purely on a cold resume submission.

Admittedly, my resume is excellent, but jobs can absolutely happen from just sending in an application and a resume. Even really good, high-paying jobs.

The fact that you lack the experience with proper Windows development tooling kind of shows, it isn't an exageration, otherwise you would realize how stone age is anything Gtk+ related, specially after Glade was killed.
> Replace X with GitHub, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Usenet, IRC, ... this is an archetypal growing up and facing change in the world story.

It might have the same structure, but that is merely a grammatical structure or maybe reason structure. It does say nothing about the actual reasons themselves. We should not dismiss an argument just for following a well known structure. For all of the things you listed there can be valid reasons to leave them and those could be put in that structure or another typical one. I think it becomes even more natural to have that structure, if we consider the "flow" of time. Of course things are going to change. But that does not invalidate the argument at all.

Maybe you only wanted to highlight the structure. I don't know that. I merely want to mention, that arguments should not be dismissed purely based on their structure.
Specialization Considered Harmful
Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon, Nvidia use Github. They together are a bigger gorilla.
Similar story here, but with Windows 10 instead of Windows 8. Adding advertisement to the basic UI is unacceptable and not even Android does this by default (I think even the Pixel isn't doing that). However there are some Android derivates that are doing this or are even built to do exactly that (FireOS).

I already hate the future when this becomes so ubiquituous that you cannot avoid this anymore without shooting yourself in the foot.
That still seems like a number of assumptions to make about the general population that just doesn't ring true in my experience. I have quite a handful of friends that grew up on the internet same as me and yet are just not all that internet savvy. They just don't really care enough. It's not uncommon and it's not even bad, some folks just don't think about it.
...and they're congratulating themselves on having reduced the memory overhead of a chat app from ~1GB to ~500MB.
windows is a decent gaming platform if your approach it pragmatically.

- do a clean install via usb from the freely available official installers.

- create/login with microsoft account (yes, you must. this is fine).

- run hellzerg/optimizer and check every option.

- avoid entering sensitive information aside from what’s needed (steam/epic credentials, msft account).

for serious work, arch with any windowing setup can be installed on a second ssd.

separate disk makes dual boot easy since you just choose disk via bios boot options.

alpine unfortunately doesn’t have nvidia drivers yet.
> Well, there just aren't many places I can go. I could go to GitLab, but they have their own fair share of issues and a disgusting UI/UX.

Not sure when was the last time the author checked them out, GitLab had a bad UI, but they've some improvements done during the recent times. IMO they are pretty OK now (still not as good as GitHub, that is I don't even think GitHub has good UI).

But SourceHut is a nice pick anyway :)
This rant is is very off base.

European countries are in aggregate extremely pro bike/pedestrian.

The scooter issue is particularly in focus, because in big cities the competition to become the main player has created a ton of competing companies trying to place their scooters all over the place. I don't mind it myself - I use them in the summer. But I have had to literally step over, or move around a pile of scooters on more than one occasion.
Search is an immediate stand out feature. I rarely use shortcuts these days, just "Super + 'term' + Enter" Windows start menu search is almost non deterministic these days.

When working from home, I often switch between audio devices - this is something that was easier in previous versions of Windows, same with messing with the audio mixer to change the volume of different apps.

The start menu as a whole is _entirely_ useless now. You can't drag shortcuts onto it, you can drag shortcuts from it, who knows how to add items to it.

App data storage can get wacky with state stored who knows where. AppData, ProgramData, Local. They wanted to make everything UWP apps, which store stuff differently to legacy apps and then they changed that again - so now apps store stuff in like 4 places.

OneDrive rewrites locations like Desktop, Documents, etc so you have two Documents folders - one isn't used but it's there because... it's there. Some apps write to one of the folders and other apps write to the other.

Interacting with settings in any meaningful way. Network proxies are entirely broken on Windows 10 and 11 - with no diagnostic output or way to know they are active.

They announced the beautiful window decorations of Windows 11 (which I like) but there is no API to build apps using it - at least not that I can tell. There is the WinUI library, but the examples on the Windows developer website don't even compile and they don't seem to care about it at all.

--- That said ---

Windows absolutely _crushes_ window management and file admin. Nothing comes close for that.

Tiling is perfect. Windows explorer is rational and powerful.

Finder is not even 5% as good. However MacOS and Gnome do workspaces in multi monitor setups way better than Windows (separate workspaces per monitor).

IMO the _only_ thing MacOS has going for it is a bash terminal that is well integrated into the OS. WSL1 was a great start, WSL2 sucks. I would rather use Windows with WSL1 (or MSYS2) but there are no Windows laptops with 12 hour battery lives and a lucrative contract with my employer.
Amelio identified that the clone deal was bad (fixed license cost instead of based on % of machine price) and rebranded to MacOS 8 in order to renegotiate to get a better clone deal.

Spindler made the original clone deals assuming they would be chasing aggressively low pricing as seen in the PC market but instead the clones ate Apple's high-end market, replacing Apple's high-end margin with cheap OS licenses. So Amelio wanted to renegotiate the deals to be based on the value of the machine so that Apple would not lose from a clone maker selling a high-end machine instead of Apple.

Jobs as iCEO continued the negotiations (after all, NeXT was also an OS-only company at that point so Jobs wasn't necessarily sold on the idea that Apple had to sell hardware) but nobody aside from UMAX bit on the more expensive MacOS 8 license (so yeah there was one clone they had a MacOS 8 license - you can find UMAX MacOS 8 CDs out there) so Jobs gave up, and there were no other clones.

So Amelio started it and Jobs finished it.
My 256GB Air, which is my work+personal computer, shows 94 GB free. That's my whole job, my paperwork, Apple Photos library with 5 years worth of data, all my apps and personal projects, all my ebooks, memes, notes, screenshots, cached music from Spotify, everything is in there.

I do have a 4 TB NAS at home, but that's backups and childhood photos, no daily-driving stuff. I don't consider myself a casual user.
I think it's just different groups in the Windows team pushing for different things. One portion wants to move in an Apple-like direction, while another group wants to increase "engagement", have metrics and add shovelware to get another revenue stream.

The obvious reality of course is that #1 won't make Apple users migrate to Windows because of #2. And both #1 and #2 will alienate diehard Windows users.
