> I believe in a future where homes are connected, smarter, and automated enough not to require switches (...)

An average switch can work probably more than an average human, not requires any king-for-a-day with their blessed updates and even continues to work when the supplier stops his business. This article maybe should be not about Google but about any IoT because you can do all kinds of automatization with the power supply to your 120V/230V stuff just on your DIN rail on your switchboard and you know what? Stuff on DIN rail will continue its work even if your counry will be invaded by Ruscists with problems such as rolling blackouts, bad Internet connection, or if your location considered to be under some embargo, or even if the master of the home has been killed and somebody (such as certified electrician) must to figure out how this automatization works (I mean that no electrician can do anything to your switchboard if there are no switches).

> The aforementioned update on the Lenovo Smart Display nerfed the one thing I used it most for — streaming web video content in the kitchen.

Why to use this walled-garden approach? You can use use any upto 15yo laptop on x86 architecture with some free and open source OS, or you can use any non-Smart display with Raspberry-like computer which obviously is going to serve you as long as Raspberry's video coprocessor will keep supporting actual Youtube's video codec.

Yes, it's also probably worth adding GPT4 on the list before seeking professional help - it may help indeed.

"My whole mouth went numb" This is a very strong indication for taking NBOME instead of LSD. From the article: "Looking back, I'm pretty certain that what I tried was not LSD." LSD would never numb your mouth. Just Google "LSD mouht numb reddit". Also, there's no lethal does of LSD, NBOM can easily kill you or screw you up just like in the article.

Everyone should always test thier substances before taking them to prevent these stories.

So do not fear LSD, fear NBOME.
Yes, a very cheap solution. Very typical, as security always ends up at the bottom of the budget plan.
If "you mash these keys when your computer isn't doing what you want" counts as "symbolic significance" then so does anything you do for any reason. You turn this knob when you feel thirsty and want to drink water! You turn this lever and push on this thing when it's too warm and you want to let air in from outside! You say these syllables when someone's asked you a question and you want to answer in the affirmative!

The components of the CAD gesture are still there for the purpose of what they do: you hit those keys because those are the ones Windows recognizes as indicating that you want to get its attention. Yes, the reason why those particular keys is kinda arbitrary these days, but (1) that isn't what the authors of that paper meant by "lacking overt instrumental purpose" -- of course there's an overt instrumental purpose: you hit those keys to get the OS's attention in ways that let you do particular things -- and (2) "there are elements that are kinda arbitrary" does not a ritual make because, again, everything has elements that are kinda arbitrary.

I don't want to claim that the use of the term "ritual" to describe hitting C-A-D is 100% indefensible. Only like 99.5%. If you generalize "ritual" far enough then eventually it will cover this case. Along with writing the word "duck", opening a window, or eating breakfast cereal. I don't think a generalization that goes that far is useful: the things that are "at least as ritual-like as C-A-D" are too broad a class to say much about that's useful, and the class isn't much different from that of "all human actions that recur at all".

It's good because until you invent this new cable, we can have everything work with USB-C.

I'm not familiar with this. Did it happen due to the EU regulation which dictated that Gaia-X have to funnel money to large corporations? Which regulation specifically you are blaming this to?
Fair enough. I understood the "forever should never be expected to hold" to be justifying the use of the word by businesses which do not necessarily intend to follow through, rather than a cynical resigned acceptance of the fact that they probably won't.

In other words, I thought you were expressing the idea that businesses offering "forever" and then pulling back are not to be held accountable because that's business, rather than what (I now think) you meant, that was that one should never trust a business ostensibly offering something "forever".
It is telling that in the early middle ages they apparently stopped clearing the tunnel, letting it silt up, similar to many large Roman buildings. Goes to show that the path of human history is not always one of progress.

Just an update: I did a 1Km "snap" to the original location (I basically apply a weighted round to the initial ll), and apply the "fuzz" over that.

Which part? Stealing means that something is missing afterwards. That is obviously not the case. You mean unauthorized copy.
By definition, we cannot know the creations and innovations we are missing due to the unintended second-order freezing effects of regulation. This is why we need to be extremely skeptical of regulation and only accept it in truly important and non-trivial cases (unlike a damn charging plug).

There is a clear push from European elites for a halt in progress, aiming to maintain a status quo and preserve their existing advantages. Modern corporation not under their control threaten them. As progressives, it is crucial that we fight to ensure that Europe continues to advance instead of turning into an Amish village and we won't have all to emigrate to the US.

Ideally the different self-hosted web stacks would have built-in analytics that would not have to hit the client with javascript.

That's not what your African friends think, that's literally a very huge part of the startup ecosystem anywhere.

I have worked in few startup incubators, and most of the companies I've seen are merely interested in getting a good evaluation and getting bought from someone else.

The amount of startups I've seen with the interest of actually making any "profit" is very low.

I think this is also a reflection of several changes in how stock markets have changed in the last decade where the name of the game hasn't been anymore about making a successful product that makes money and possibly pays dividends but the chase for endless and endless growth of stock price.

There are companies out there that literally have the stock of their price in the hall of their offices, imagine that and not customer satisfaction/retention/profits or anything else being the biggest indicator of a company's success.

It's a sad reality.

I myself am interested in creating a new business in the tech world, one that makes honest good money but is not seeking a 100M/1B valuation and I feel such a unicorn.
Thanks Drew (in case you’re reading HN during this time).

Completely unrelatedly (I haven’t read this post at that point), earlier this week I upped from low monthly to medium yearly plan on Sourcehut.

For me burnout is tricky in the sense that it can get sticky and spiral out of control, and depend on external environment. What helped me get out of the last one is being reminded that other people to some degree depend on me completing something and moving to a city I like.
The ones that come with the devices. Never bought 3rd party.
I read it as "something gives". Either you strip the tread or the nut breaks, or something else unexpected/unwanted happens.
The EU tried the soft approach for many years, and Apple stubbornly refused to play. "This authoritarian method" of representing the populations they are meant to represent as part of a democratic society rather than letting companies continue to do what they want came with ample warning.

EDIT: Someone asked about the mandate for it, and deleted, but worth pointing out that the EU parliament supported this with a majority of 602 to 13, so it has support literally from the far left to the far right.
> Louis Vouitton sells a handbag for $2k. Is it worth $2k? You could say no, that any other bag would be just as useful. But value isn't utility alone. People find that the bag is worth the price because of the prestige that the brand imbues the owner with.

Change the analogy so that the customers design and mostly manufacture the bag.
> Why do so many commenters on HN always sound so confident, yet none of them work in publishing?

Because people can have opinions on industries they don’t work in?

I don’t work in hospitality, and I have never cooked for a living. I can still confidently tell you when my food is burnt. A chef then can crawl out of the kitchen and explain the complicated process which resulted in me getting burnt food and I won’t care a bit.

My tax money paid a researcher to study long years, then my tax money paid for the equipment the researcher used to research and my tax money paid for the researcher’s time too. And then the researcher writes up what they found and pays a third party also from my tax money and that third party does everything in their power to hide the paper away from me. That is burnt food. I don’t have to work in the industry to recognise it.

And what do I do with the prototype then? There's nobody buying.
It resonated right up until using the terminology "Fatal Flaw". From that point on I just found the term too distracting and it felt insulting.

If they called it anything else (eg. "unrealized vulnerability") it might have been more digestable.

That's certainly something that you can assert. Using hyperbolic and thought-terminating language - "child abuse" - in the following sentence is also something you can do, but I am not sure how useful that is, if you want others to get an accurate representation of reality.
> People queue for hours, a tragic waste of festival time.

Back when I went to such things nobody carried around cellphones and didn’t have any less of an experience.

We even had plans like “if anyone gets separated we’ll all meet up at the beer tent” because nobody wants to get left a couple hours from home because they didn’t pay attention to where the car was parked.

Kids these days…
Maybe it's not money that motivates some people? Money is just a marker of success in this game. The real achievement might be building a business or growing a product or out competing a competitor.
I really hope Apple keeps lightning and just includes a dongle for phones sold in the EU.
How are the devices Google is selling “free”? The backend services supporting them were bundled as features of the device and are part of why people paid money for the devices.
EU citizens are sceptical of the corporations and their ability to regulate themselves. Different attitudes, the American psyche definitely allows for better innovation and business environment but on the other hand in EU we don't have carcinogens in our bread.

It is O.K. to have two or more different societies, those feeling like they need more freedom for business can go to the US. It definitely makes the US much more competitive but a lot of people like Europe the way it is.

EU is not some company in Belgium, it is made of elected and appointed people from all the EU countries. It's not like EU making up things that members didn't ask for. EU creating a regulation is not like Twitter forcing a new policy over its users.
I have to ask - Do some people just throw the word "Communist" every time they disagree with something? Is this also a "Socialist" standard? Possibly also "woke"? :->

As for longevity, dunno; Micro-USB was around since 2007 and is still in use. Usb a of course is decades strong. And the European preference of Micro-USB does not seem to have prevented other standards. And of course, 3.5mm connector has been around for way way longer (until Apple decided to murder it in cold blood:). There's Ethernet of course. IEEE and various C-series cables?
"Android doesn't"

Are abstract images what passes for a brand identity nowadays?
No, because the argument for vaccines causing autoimmune disorders is largely not about live viral vaccines (or at least not them on their own) but rather vaccines that contain adjuvants (and not all do). The idea is that the adjuvants result in the immune system targeting many proteins (not just the proteins ones in the vaccine).
Exactly!!! And there's very little 'regular' scientists can do about this. It's a system upheld by senior academics' conceptions, funding agencies, and university management staff.
For an intern? You mean it would be a PhD thesis in and of itself. Google has had more than 18 chat apps, some of which had the same name... At the same time, but couldn't talk to each other .
Discussing this topic on HN is utterly pointless. Most of the tech bros here are libertarians and are happy to have companies fuck over consumers because they shouldn't be bound by government regulations.
Ok. So you can't use the phone while charging. Cool!
Truffle is that but better.
Fundamentally, changing the academic journal system is "just" about fundamentally changing how academics are recognized, rewarded, and promoted to something that no one really has a blueprint for. (And publish everything and the cream will somehow rise to the top isn't it.)

I also suspect that a lot of people complaining the loudest would also be unhappy if their recognition, reward, and promotion system was changed to something even more arbitrary and subjective than it already is.
My (pharmacy student) daughter has a plausible theory about that.

Most (all?) vaccines have something in them to make the immune system recognize that there's something there to fight. (It might me called an "adjuvant" or something like that - I'm not the pharmacy student, so I'm probably getting the word wrong.) It's included in the vaccine that you get from the manufacturer.

That was fine, when you only had a very few vaccines to get. But now kids are supposed to get something like 18 different vaccines. Well, doctors know that the mom isn't going to bring their kid in 18 different times to get vaccinated. So they give the kid five different vaccines at a visit.

So the kid gets five doses of the adjuvant (or whatever it's called) at once.

For some kids, that's enough to make their immune system hyperactive. And behold, they develop autoimmune diseases.

As I said, this is a plausible theory. It's not proven. But it makes some sense, and it explains what changed.
Awesome project. But $300 is still quite steep for a thing I might maybe use once a year. I really wish these thermal sensors came down in price...
Ask HN: How to prevent WireGuard from giving up?
We are testing wireguard and we like it. However, if it can't resolve DNS 10 times, it quits. For Windows non-admins, the only solution is for them to a) notice that Wireguard gave up b) reboot.

Wireguard is open source.

They can propose it to the USB Implementers Forum, standardize it as a new USB standard, and pass it to the EU.
This probably means your invention don't add enough value. Throw it away like all other prototypes who fail to create enough value to warrant a production line.
It's probably not the same experience for everyone, but when I was burned out or depressed, I "had" to cling to the things I could still have some control. Being productive was the main one. It also would distract me from the other issues. Of course, excessive work was causing most of the issues, now it's easy to see.

I got burned out when I wasn't in a good place. Having the same experience when you have a stable relationship/friendships/family life, healthy hobbies and not-too-limited finances, is probably much different than what I experienced.
Sorry, do I really have to explain the difference between an adapter and a cable? I think that is the problem.

No, it means somebody regulated a single connector type.
You're free to try other things. You're just not free to leave out a USB-C plug as long as that is the standard, and you will run into trouble if you try to play stupid games with adding power delivery profiles to your USB-C support that try to circumvent the goal of these regulations of removing device-specific cables or chargers.

If Apple "only" ends up offering a certification mark for USB-C chargers that have been tested with the iPhone and makes that easily accessible, they might well be in the clear. If they try to add power delivery profiles that are unavailable to everyone else, chances are the EU will react.
It's a long, sad story (get your hanky), but I have spent my entire adult life, in a fellowship that includes some of the most dangerous, selfish, and just downright nuts people on earth.

I.e. really interesting and fun people.

But ones that often have little respect for personal boundaries.

I have learned to enforce my boundaries. I don't expect other to respect them.

At the same time, I have found that I don't need to use nukes to enforce my boundaries. Very often, a simple "No, I won't do that." is sufficient, as opposed "OMG! Get the hell away from me, you maniac!".

Also, and I feel this is a lesson that many folks these days, could benefit from, if I initiate a relationship with hostility, it is likely to forevermore be a non-productive relationship.

It usually costs me nothing, to initiate relationships with courtesy. The other party may still be an uncouth bastard, but control of the future of the relationship is now in my hands; not theirs. I can still maintain courtesy, and am able to avoid dunking the relationship immediately.
