> this weird little bit of classism totally broke my immersion in an article I was otherwise really enjoying. Middle class people overwhelmingly can’t afford housing, but let’s shame them for trying to find at least one kind of affordable luxury in life?

A giant car is probably the most harmful-to-others luxury indulgence you could pick (and a significant factor in why people can't afford housing). I'm all for having a hobby and spending money on your hobby, but maybe pick one that doesn't kill other people's kids so much. And I'm baffled that you're calling this classism and then talking about middle class.
Honestly, I got a job last year in a hybrid office and i love it. We are treated like adults. We can step out if we need to. We can remote in an extra day or come in an extra day if we feel like it. I also love my team and hanging out at our desks was something I didn't realize I missed until I had it again.

Remote is cool. Full time strict office is blah. Hybrid flex is lovely
People who use third-party apps are the most likely to be invested in the platform but they don't matter at all to reddit, the company. I would assume that they are also the most likely to use old.reddit, the most likely to use adblockers on desktop, etc. Reddit would rather replace them with people that will just use the default mobile/desktop experiences because they're the easiest to set up. That is the gain. NPCs are easier to develop apps for because they don't care if the apps are actually good.
I just want to say that Tailscale ROCKS.

It installed flawlessly on all of my machines (Linux and Mac), and now I can route to all of them wherever I am. It configures DNS correctly, it routes traffic correctly, and all of my internal machines at my house are routable when I'm out in a coffee shop or library or hotels. It's been more than a year and it's operated flawlessly, never needing maintenance or restarting, it survives connection resets and is completly robust. I just love it.

If you want to see a good (fictional but pretty much on the money) depiction of this, check out the episode “King Corn” from season six of The West Wing.

Even then it was blatantly obvious that corn ethanol was all about subsidising corn farmers, but the state’s political importance made it impossible to do anything about.
The old company wasn't using that term, though. I think activating a major term is reasonable to talk about as a change.
I Can’t Stop Marveling at SF’s Driverless Cars
Show HN: Run synchronous and asynchronous commands in WebDrivers
Caqui is intended to command executions against Drivers synchronously and asynchronously. Launch the Driver as a server and send requests to it. The intention is that the user does not worry about which Driver he/she is using. It can be WebDrivers like Selenium, MobileDrivers like Appium, or DesktopDrivers like Winium.
Certainly Facebook alone, but that's why I included the "et al". For most of the world, "the internet" is interchangeable with "the few big platforms I regularly use". It's not technically accurate, but I don't begrudge them the usage because that is their internet.
Tax evasion is rife: How many tradesmen fixing stuff around your house for cash will report that income on their return ?

Governments can get most of their revenue with little economic distortion by taxing stuff where evasion is much harder: Fuel taxes and property taxes.
The R2 is between the tested monitor and the AQMD reference instruments (BAMs and Grimms). They also test if the two reference instruments agree with each other before calculating the correlation to the tested monitor.

So I believe their testing method is quite accurate.
If nobody is demanding free API access, why has the “movement” not put out a counteroffer for pricing that they’d be happy with?

My belief is that it’s because if they announce a number that is not $0, then everyone is going to find out that a lot of people are demanding free API access.

“Reddit is killing 3rd-party apps” is a disingenuous statement.

Is any app even planning to charge the new prices? If they don’t, then they’re killing themselves. Honestly it’s a great campaign by the app makers to whip users up into a frenzy like this because it means more profit for themselves if Reddit backs down on the API pricing.
'half' is a lot, can y give some examples?

should read:

Both these data sets were funded by the military with NO desire to prove climate change etc.
Screenshots are all you ever need. Just give a screenshot or terminal output to a bilingual SME and have it double checked. It’s not like translators must be given sweat and blood of engineers just for their motivations.

A screenshot of just the dropdown menu could have been generated in CI and could have easily prevented the “postcode file”, so long the translator was presented that image along the string and had recognized that Windows dropdown.
Then I'd have no equity and be at the mercy of the whims of a landlord. I'd rather take a big pay cut.
I think .. in this specific example .. the crazy thing is that these words in that particular character's mouth is exactly how that kind of cop would talk in 1970.

So to me it's less about the social score censorship and more the whitewashing the character in an inauthentic way. Pretending they wouldn't say such things in 1970 when every NYC cop said the N word 10 times a week ...

There's basically identical language in The Godfather, The Taking of Pelham 123, The Shining, The Last Detail (100s more I'm sure)... serving the same "authenticity", staying true to the characters, the time and place, and the story being told.

Even in its ugliness.
You can invest in oil companies instead. Why do you need leverage? Why do you have the expectation of making 100X from a 2X price increase?
Maybe you're thinking the wrong direction...

For example looking for populations that aren't leaving houses.
With all the price cuts I doubt it
> what you’re illustrating is that protectionism doesn’t make people poorer per se

It makes people materially poorer and redistributes wealth, typically up. That is a fair price to pay in some circumstances, e.g. bolstering defence manufacturers.
Yeah I always let price action speak. None of us “know”. Agreed that we might have a regime shift.
That’s an important distinction, but is lost on 99% of the population.

Try to voice any skepticism about climate change policy and most people will call you a climate denier.

Same with vaccines; express a skepticism of efficacy and suddenly you are an anti-science anti-Vaxer.

The irony is that skepticism and asking annoying questions is essential to science. Ignoring ‘anti-scientific’ arguments is inherently anti-science.
Bingo, all they care about is monetization. Simple
I had a similar experience. I brought a gold bar to Jumbo and tried to buy a croissant, and the cashier just looked at me funny and asked for my card. That's when I realized gold is worthless
So your keychain is symmetrically encrypted with a password and they don’t store that?
For what reason? Why is it useful economically to turn computer hashes into a system of collectible numbers that exist on a common list?
That's a clever trick. Creating the air pressure with a box fan and then filtering using a MERV filter. I guess if you can find a 20x20 box fan and attach a 20x20x1 filter to it you can do this easily.

But how much the filters last depend on a variety of factors. If you have pets (with fur) your filters will last much less.
It doesn’t seem like the iOS app has the secondary filter. I took your prompt and added “The aliens speak in a language where every sentence has an explicative”

And then I added “I mean they curse in every sentence”.

Put your passkey on a yubikey if you like.
For php you're probably best off learning a framework or two (zend, symfony, cake, laravel) which is drastically different than writing regular old php. WordPress devs are always in demand for contract type of work, but it's a grind for minimum pay unless you dominate a niche with a plugin.

Unfortunately sites like square and social media have taken over the small time web dev companies where you used to be able to get your hands dirty at all levels.

I'd probably look around at digital marketing companies. Your tech skills won't be "praised", because they favor creative over technical abilities. But they'll probably throw a wide range of technical problems at you and expect you to be "fullstack".
> "Have fun staying poor, nocoiner" is probably one reason you see such vocal dislike.

I literally can't name a single time I've ever, ever seen that sentiment expressed on HN. And the irony... but at least the nocoiners have at least stopped insisting that everyone in crypto is an idiot that doesn't know what they're doing. (aka, projecting). At least outwardly anyway, from what I can tell.

I love that my OG comment is flagged. Really just says everything, it wasn't even remotely combatative. Just add it to the list of things you can't really talk about on HN. Bitcoin suxors amiright?!
Purple air has some nice monitors and I think IQair also has one.
Passkeys are WebAuthn under the hood; they don't store your credentials with a large company any more than using a hardware token stores your credentials with Yubikey.

Apple does some additional trickery to synchronize credentials between devices, but they get away with this because their devices have contained dedicated silicon for sensitive data management for years[1]. They have some user-facing documentation on how their passkey implementation is synchronized between devices without any secret disclosure here[2][3].

It's very odd the Musk is jumping on this.

Twitter is has an even bigger problem. I haven't seem pedo stuff, but there is far more explicit imagery. Unlike Insta, Twitter allows nudity and pornography, and it seems to be a haven for anything and everything. I've seen blue checks posting long form pornography, and it's not all great.
The official app collects far more data points to identify users for ad targeting than the third party clients do (check the permissions asked). They may have decided there's no way to effectively monetize third-party app users to the levelling of targeting that their ad platform requires, so these users will always be a cost center instead of a profit center.

Then again these users are likely to disproportionately be posters and commenters, the people who create free content that keeps the broader userbase engaged, or are moderators keeping the site running for zero compensation, so pissing them off seems ill advised.

Based on this thread [1], where an admin accuses 3rd party apps of being inefficient API consumers but refuses to explain why, it's clear Reddit just wants these apps gone and isn't interested in whether anyone is alienated or upset by it.

The looming IPO and showing as positive user monetization numbers as possible is undoubtedly the motivation for this, unfortunately goodwill with the userbase that has taken years to build is getting trashed in the process.

The same is true of digital bathroom scales. In fact almost all consumer grade digital scales have “fake accuracy” built into the firmware that ensures the same exact weight shows up when you step on the scale twice in a row, even if you pick up e.g a quarter-pound weight in your hand the second time
I don't think those are opposing at all, and I appreciate the food for thought!
Love to see Passkeys supported in more places.
Light bulbs are resistive heaters, and they are also 100% efficient at making heat. Some of it just bounces around the room as light first.
To oversimplify my view:

Politics = applied philosophy
Science = applied epistemology

Pretending that science can create policy leads to things like eugenics (but Darwin said it would make us fitter so it must be ‘good’!)
As an owner of a normal sized car, oversized cars are unnecessarily aggressive towards other people. Both because of the drivers attitude and the design.

Sure. It just cites “low income” as a risk factor for fun.

The claim was that no one dies of involuntary malnutrition. The claim is false.

International travel. People need to get to work, nobody needs to backpack through Europe to "find themselves" (besides perhaps Europeans).
Kind of reminds me of writing single-sector bootloaders¹ for the Apple ][. The idea was that you wouldn’t have DOS on a floppy disk to free up that storage for other stuff, but then if you accidentally turned on your computer with that disk in the drive, you’d want a nice message letting you know you messed up and a prompt so you could put in a DOS disk and boot up properly.

⸻

1. It might have been a whole track on the disk, it’s hard to remember the details of this when it’s 37 years since I last used an Apple ][.
Some people believe abortion is basically the same thing
Pretty spot on and exactly what I would have wrote.
I know, right. I asked the SEC to create regulation for my system of using a ledger I created to keep track of numbers that people use to trade for dollars and then back again and then make more of those numbers and trade them for other kinds of numbers and money and then back again and they won't do it. When they asked me what the hell it is I just turn around and ask 'but how do I comply?' and they stonewall me. I don't understand it.
> - bring in outside air on occasion to freshen things up

All HRV's do that. "single room recuperator" from aliexpress is in every flat after renovation in Lithuania.
> I also find puzzling, that I remember people being outraged if country X done something and now when something like this gets done in Western countries, there is very much indifference.

This also works the other way around. For example, if some far right group in US uses Nazi symbolism, people get understandably outraged, and the system goes into overdrive to destroy the groups and people involved. On the other hand, when random photos of Ukrainian soldiers with Nazi patches sewed to their uniforms keep popping up, the New York Times talks about “complicated relationship with Nazi imagery”

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/05/world/europe/nazi-symbols...

The point is, all that matters is “who whom”, and there is little point in trying to parse and analyze the arguments made by powers on rational, objective level. These are always self-serving, and if take these at face value and respond to the content, you have been successfully fooled.
It is not actually as simple as looking at the manual. You need to take ducting layout into account, since there is a lot of air flow reduction from any ducting system, and some can be much worse than others. It definitely does cause your furnace to overheat if you drop below the required airflow rate, something that can lead to short cycling and even premature failure by cracking your heat exchanger. All of this is calculated out using HVAC software when a system is commissioned (in theory and in many building codes, but not so much in practice).

As can be seen, this is an issue during the heating season, not the cooling season - which is when many people are fighting smoke. If you actually pay attention to home maintenance, you can go for the better filter in the summer, and drop down to the minimum or close to it during the winter.

> test times just expand to fill available capacity

This is something I have seen time and time again.
This is a great point. And to respond to the other part of the parent comment about storing "all their credentials with one of the large tech companies" — you don’t even need to do that, if you don’t want to.

Apple just extended their Credential Provider API such that passkeys can now be synced using external providers, meaning password manager apps can save and offer passkeys on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. So you can choose to sync your passkeys with whatever your favorite password manager is.

See this page: https://developer.apple.com/passkeys/

And Google announced a similar API a month or two ago.

See the section titled "Passkey support for Android apps" on this page: https://developers.google.com/identity/passkeys/supported-en...
There was certainly a lot of noise about it.
An iPhone SE is 429. Cheaper than the original iPhone ($600) and far more powerful. That's not even accounting for inflation which would make the original iPhone ~$850 today.

An iPhone 14 starts at $800... so really the price has decreased while the capability is significantly larger...
Changing a filter every 6 months sounds more than reasonable to me
Even if you’re not so close you can shift evening commute home to lunchtime or early afternoon, and settle in for solo time at home. I do this quite a bit.

Nodding strongly in agreement as somebody who resigned Big Tech to start my own thing and hired remote first to get premium talent.

That’s the other part of startups wanting remote - you get WAY more access to talent compared to a few years ago when remote-first was weird and scary.

Likewise, Big Tech haven’t had to compete for so long they forgot the number one rule is to keep the talent happy.

Personally, I’m a lot happier now than I was with a big fancy level at a Mega Co.
Do you mean this would be an issue with regards to using their asset store/3rd party plugins for your game?

If so how is it really any different from just regular nodejs packages or Python packages?that’s a risk developers seem to ignore.

Or are your talking about scripts being added for modding purposes like Minecraft? If so that’s a pretty good point, would be nice to have godot implement some sort of sandboxed system you can use. Not sure what the term would be or how that would even work.
Sorry, I'm out of the all the codes for this release.
i don't know but it won't be available for public access. it's like asking what 2030 nuclear weapon control and simulation codes will look like.
Practically speaking, none of the security risks involved have anything to do with the Czech Republic – it’s a safe, modern European democracy with data protection laws better than US.
> This might suggest that decentralization itself is not actually of immediate practical or pressing importance to the majority of people downstream, that the only amount of decentralization people want is the minimum amount required for something to exist

Seems to me like building a centralized system on top of a decentralized one, similar to my earlier example of building a bank on top of something designed to circumvent the bank

General rule seems to be greed v laziness -> centralization
The fallacy is assuming that consensus = probably true.

This is only correct when we have good evidence and good methods. That is why consensus breaks (like heliocentrism) occur during technological changes (development of telescope).

The critical point the parent is missing is that many fields have terrible data and terrible methods so the ‘consensus’ isn’t likely to be true (eg smoking is good for the nerves, butter is bad for you, the globe is too big for humans to cause changes)

It takes a lot of intellectual integrity to admit that many disciplines are not generating anything resembling ‘truth’. It’s easier to ignore and say: but the consensus is the best we have! Sometimes the heterodox view is the best.
The articles is in English, it seemed a reasonable discussion of what it meant to be accused of communist heresy and sent to a prison that would probably kill you in the 1930s. What's the issue here?

Imagine if every state had their own completely different traffic rules, and you had to be licensed in every state in order to drive there. E.g. In one state you had to drive on the left hand side but only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. In another state, it cost too much to put up traffic signs and signals, so, all drivers had to stop at all intersections unless you were going in a North or South direction.

One aspect is that it would make an interesting situation at the borders between states. And that's kinda sorta what we have now with programming languages.

> Stuff on top of stuff on top of stuff.

Couldn't that also be too many choices? Like if you specialize in JS instead of C, you're not going to have all the knowledge a C expert might know. Instead of utilizing proven, existing C libraries, you're going to write stuff from scratch in JS?
Unleaded 98 SE was the best gas.
At least it is the full book, unlike movie adaptations, also a nice way to "read" while driving.
> So basically the SEC failed to protect people from that ponzi scammer boy SBF was, but they're going after the like of Binance and Coinbase, who, so far, never stole a cent from anyone?

Agreed. SEC should have given enough time to these two so that they could fleece people of their money, then declare themselves bankrupt and then have law enforcement go to other countries and have the culprits extradicted back. Finally have everyone shouting "SEC colluded with these culprits".

I don't understand this rush to stop this from happening.
I think you know that downloading an unsigned binary from the internet and executing it on your personal machine is utter stupidity from a security point of view.
I did something similar back in the 90s. Basically implemented full state machine engine including nesting, graphical editor and debugger with the ability to hook custom actions. It was marketed as business process server. It was a product that was used to integrate various business processes in multiple orgs in telecom industry.

It does in some places. In Finland (where I presume you are), it clearly isn't enough, but in warmer places like Texas and California and the huge swathes of the world that have sufficiently reliable renewable electricity resources that 4 hour storage could handle the intermittency.
