I'm genuinely curious, I wasn't trying to hand-wave anything. I think it's probably a cultural zeitgeist, but in my opinion it's interesting how Columbus was so specifically targeted (when there's inarguably much worse historical people out there that are still celebrated). With that said, just think about how disingenuous your comment comes off: you're literally comparing a person that's still alive and held to today's ethical and legal standards (able to face his accusers, etc.) to someone that lived 500 years ago.

Games usually don’t go through the traditional compositor cycle of Wayland anymore so there shouldn’t be a difference.

For non-gaming usage Wayland should actually be better for battery life as the protocol is less chatty. Though of course it depends on which implementation you use.

Good morning is a bad example because it has a colloquial meaning that is a least a little idiomatic. Most other words/phrases in English don’t have this effect, while many Chinese words are like 早安. 了解, for example, can’t even be pronounced without correctly parsing the word.

Being in extreme pain sounds like something that should be dealt with promptly but a balance should be struck here given all societies face real resource limits.

There comes a point where spending more money on healthcare means there is less to spend on social support and that leads to worse health outcomes because poverty is a huge fe of ill health.

To take it to the extreme, nobody wants to live in a society made up only of doctors where there is no food to eat.

Living in the US I certainly feel I have been offered excess healthcare, tests given routinely that would JIT be ordered in other countries with better health outcomes. I suspect these are provided to reduce the amount spent lawyers so maybe it saves money in the end given the peculiarities of the US.

Ask HN: Did anyone land a job in FAANG after layoffs and how is it going?
I'm still seeing a lot of open positions in FAANG, so what exactly has changed in FAANG's hiring process after the layoffs started? My friends in Google say it's like 10x less likely to get an offer now, but why would you layoff thousands of people and hire new middle (2+ years of exp.) engineers anyway? Let's hear more than 2 of my friends :)
Thinking about TM more:

* Corporations / Individuals, should pay more _per mark_ when they file for more marks. Again, I don't even have a good idea of an initial proposal for the fee, just a good reason for wanting that. The more brands, characters (names attached to types of likenesses) and products locked up the less space there is for competition and innovation. Also, again, this isn't supposed to start out as a huge cost, it should be reasonable for an individual to have a trademark or two on something they're trying to create as a brand. Maybe smaller groups (including of 1 / individual) could have a lower registration fee on their first N terms. However this also needs to be balanced against effects we currently see with patent trolls. Human review (with a HIGH bar for pass!) and a requirement for a real product that consumers can purchase should be hard requirements.

* The additional tax per product should just be a flat n%, maybe even less than 1%. The administrative overhead of having different tax rates outweighs any benefits with my initial thoughts of a cap at 2%.
He was famously bankrolled by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain.
Literally from the article:

> Despite a persistent legend, neither Columbus nor his Spanish patrons thought Earth was a finite plane instead of a round planet. And you can blame one of the United States’ greatest authors for creating a myth that still surrounds one of history’s best-known figures ...

> It’s almost certain that in the 1490s, nobody thought the earth was flat. According to historian Jeffrey Burton Russell, “no educated person in the history of Western Civilization from the third century B.C. onward believed that the Earth was flat.”
But it's the wrong straw. The reason people played with their Oculus for a day, then left it on the shelf wasn't insufficient model training.
I agree it’s not black and white. I think trademarks are important to protect consumers and legitimate businesses of all sizes - if Bob’s Burger’s builds up a reputation in Fooville, someone shouldn’t be able to completely copy their name+menu+corporate facade and open a shop right across the street. I also think that expensive fda trials need to be incentivized by a temporary monopoly (or some other payout) at the end, and you shouldn’t be able to inject some noise to be able to claim your rip of a just-released, expensive to produce show is something else. So the 3 forms of IP I take issue with all have legitimate applications in my eyes, and it’s ultimately going to require inherently flawed human judgment to tell when they’re infringed.

That said, I can easily point to bad outcomes that need to be handled better (mostly related to abusing litigation of IP), and I also think we can do better than the current pattern of securitizing the commons with low payment back to the commons. We’re incentivizing much more than what we’re actually attempting to incentivize with our IP system.

I've done something like this when bootstrapping a system that would eventually have an API with proper admin tools, but we just need something quick-and-dirty to get off the ground.

So I wrote some scripts in bash to do things the "worst" way possible. Directly accessing the production DB, minimal safety checks, etc. Nobody else on the team liked writing bash, so there was no fight to replace these awful tools with proper APIs.

Couldn't we bifurcate it, though?

I mean, I'm fucked. I've effectively lost between 10-20% of my purchasing power out of what ultimately equates to a relatively small sum in the first place because my time horizon was pretty small, I put a trust fund together for myself. Whole I was doing this bond yields were negative, and had been for a long while, and I'd posit they still are (last I looked the $1 pound loaves at Walmart were $1.50). I just did not and do not have the buffer money for investing, not to mention a need for liquidity and possible penalties. It would be nice to have something more stable. Of course, Au and Ag haven't yet reared their imaginary powers yet in any case, though many portend they will.

Ideally though, an ounce of gold is an ounce. But a dollar can be anything. The question is one of making gold, silver, or some other fixed-quantity, portable, arbitrarily valuable substance into legal tender, right?
> how difficult it is to close the last few percentage points of accuracy

Like, after getting to 99% you are about half way, the last 1% is the hard part.
The problem from an economic standpoint, and the article alludes to this, is that a lot of these platforms just aren’t profitable at stage 4. They might be ubiquitous, well loved by users, and have next to no meaningful competition, but if the money isn’t there they will be under the gun to iterate until it is. And even if it is the fear has been, and continues to be, that unless you’re becoming even more profitable each quarter by siphoning off excess value from your network that you’re basically failing at your basic function as a public company. I’m not sure I can think of a good example of this, Google used to be it, but they’ve gone so downhill in the last 10 years.
> in its pastoral state to tribal people

But this is the bon savage trope, which itself is quite problematic.
You can’t push through a new protocol that’s already huge. Wayland was deliberately made extensible, programs can properly query about its capabilities, it is actually quite great design.

It’s just the negatives of the bazaar style development, it’s not like we ever had a unified approach to desktops (remember a few years ago how tray icons and whatnot were all different between KDE and Gnome?). There is no entity like apple that can just work on the details in the background and release it overnight and say that from now on this is the supported API. An open source one has to live in the open from day 1. Mind you, the standardization will speed up considerably, the first year of that 14 is very different in pace from the last ones.

Also, screenshots are not a trivial task to get right, sure, here is its buffer is easy. But then will you also implement a screen sharing API separately? Will it just repeatedly take screenshots for like 20 FPS? That was the reason for it taking longer time, but it works very well now.

> an integrated RSpec-like test framework

Please no. Please, please stop blindly just cargo culting RSpec into your projects. Minitest is included with the language and has all the assertions you might generally want. The only thing RSpec really "adds" is an insane and quirky DSL for the sake of "reading like English", which is a terrible misfeature. Most of the rest are terrible, terrible misfeatures as well.

As an example, one of these misfeatures is built-in mocking. Mocking is great, you might think. Yes, mocking is a necessary evil in certain cases but it should be used very sparingly. What happens instead is that people don't bother to design their classes for easy testing and they mock the hell out of everything in order to make their code testable. So what's the problem? Tests are supposed to do two things: 1) discover bugs you didn't realize you wrote, and 2) allow refactoring where if the tests pass, your code is probably alright. Widespread mocking absolutely tanks both of these goals. Instead of testing the effects of code, 90% of the Rails tests I see in the wild test mock everything to the point that the tests simply confirm that the code is implemented the way it is currently implemented. No bugs can be unearthed by this method because none of the actual effects are tested, just that certain methods are called in a certain order. And refactoring is now insanely difficult because any change to the logic causes the tests to fail, even if the effects are the same.

This is just one example.

So please, I beg you, stop reflexively reaching for RSpec. Minitest is great, it has most of the things you need out of the box. And Rails has a test framework built on top of it that similarly already does all the things you need. And it's all just plain Ruby.

Everyone had a pretty good idea that the Earth was round, but the size was somewhat up for debate. Columbus did some bad math and came up with a really badly underestimated size and thought he had a clever way to the indies. If he hadn't run into a whole other continent unknown to him, he'd have perished long before he made it all the way around the Earth. The part I find most bizarre I think is that we still call Native Americans "Indians" to this day based on his now half-millennia old mistake.

Realizing no one's going to change a language with 900 million speakers, do you think it's because there's a lot of ambiguity, or is it because it's a cognitive load people aren't used to? Mandarin is a newer language than Cantonese, and it has fewer tones. Languages tend towards laziness, so I wonder if it settled on the right number, of if it's an ongoing trend.

Edit: About languages losing features, English used to be declined like German or Latin. Only pronouns are declined in modern English, and we don't usually teach it as "pronouns are declined."
> when there's inarguably much worse historical people out there that are still celebrated

Like who?

If they are as bad or worse than Columbus they should probably not be celebrated

> If you are a non-native Cantonese speaker, and don't differentiate between "low falling" and "low level", native Cantonese speakers will still understand you.

Whilst it is true that in the case of Cantonese some tones can be misused without the loss of the comprehension in a conversion, and the non-native speaker will still be understood if the surrounding context is clear and concise, that is not the case with the low falling tone, which is the most unforgiving of all. Cantonese speakers are prone to get thoroughly confused when the low falling tone is substituted for a flat low tone or a low rising one. Consider 墳墓 and 分母 when the context is insufficient to deduce which word was actually meant; it is perhaps not the best example but I can't think of a better one at the moment.

EDIT: 大麻, 大馬 and 大媽 from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35870392 are better examples.

> It's difficult for a non-native speaker to distinguish between "low rising" and "mid rising".... so just treat it as a rising tone. I'm a native speaker and sometimes I forget which type of rising tone a particular word is.... I didn't learn it that way, haha.

Most native speakers of tonal languages are not even aware of the fact their native language has tones. They don't think about it, they don't think about the tones. Tones are a concept for speakers of languages that do not have the tones in the first place.

Context matters. I assume you left it out for good reason from your throwaway account? The video alone doesn't explain.

Grenfell tower housed mostly a non-British populous. 72 people died horrible deaths and 70 injured (mostly non-Brits), it's the biggest strucutual death toll in UK history. In the video someone says a racist remark. The effigy has cartoons of brown people wearing religious attire.

His intent is debatable to some and in a court of law. In my opinion he got away lightly for something hateful and racist. It was shared widely with the same racist sentiment (prominent nazi groups and anti-immigrant faces).

Hi Eyad, looks interesting I have some basic feedback:

1) Spend $10 on a domain name if you are serious about testing this idea

2) Fix the broken links, your navigation and download pitch links do not work

3) Update your hero splash to actually explain what the product is, the description "REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR DRIVING WITH DRIV AI. OUR APP USES AI TO PROVIDE PERSONALIZED FEEDBACK AND INTERACTIVE LESSONS, MAKING LEARNING TO DRIVE MORE ACCESSIBLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE. TRY IT NOW AND JOIN THE DRIVING REVOLUTION." does not tell me what the product is. You almost told me what the product is here "Our cutting-edge platform leverages artificial intelligence and real-time data analysis to provide personalized feedback on driving skills, ensuring that learners receive tailored guidance at every step." but again I still don't know how it works. Is it an app that provides me guidance while I am driving? Does it analyze my driving and then provide me guidance after? Please be really clear in how it works and what it solves.

Good luck!

Even if the claim that most pop melodies consist of 12 notes is true (which is dubious), the 8^12 number excludes variation in rhythm or the timing between the notes which can make a significant impact on the overall feeling of the melody. If you hum/whistle some pop song you know in your head, it is easy to see that the notes aren’t all equally spaced apart in time.

From my own post

> Inability to scale applications which required xwayland properly or at all

Scaling for wayland applications worked however scaling for xwayland apps absolutely did not. The actual reality is a blurry mess and as you go back further you see more and more apps that only run via xwayland.

Due to the scattered way different features are handled on Wayland nonblurry scaled xwayland apps became or will become available at different times. For instance KDE fixed this issue in 5.26 which became part of Kubuntu with 23.04 released last month. For Debian users this day has not yet come and for many who update their software only infrequently to major releases xwayland apps may take years to become a reality.
