> First, I'll be honest: The existence of an up-to-date print encyclopedia in 2023 took me by surprise.

In contrast, the fact that there is only one remaining (English-language) print encyclopedia is something that took me by surprise. I'm not sure how many is reasonable to expect, but I'd have thought it was >1.
People want to remove the 'venture' from 'venture capital'.
This article is based on the flawed premise that the Russia-Ukraine war was overwhelmingly one-sided in Russia's favor, eliding the fact that Ukraine had, over nearly a decade, amassed the next largest land army in Europe, trained by NATO, armed by NATO, guided by NATO intelligence, and side-by-side with Western PMCs.

In many aspects, they were peer competitors on the battlefield. The "paper tiger" argument would have made more sense had Russia unsuccessfully invaded Kiev in 2014. But a lot can change in 8 years.

Yes, Russia has had the advantage in long-range strike capability, but they chose not to strike command centers early in the war (contrast with the surprise airstrike on Saddam Hussein's palace 20 years ago, which kicked off Washington's unprovoked invasion).
Similar, except my favorite was the combination W-X-Y-Z

Right, but you could find and link to that thread instead of “citing it” from memory.

As it is it remains conjecture.

(Aside, this thread now has 300 comments after just 2 hours. HN’s purported slowdown in the WFH era feels grossly exaggerated.)
It does because e-mail is not a social network.

You don't "join" a gmail to see social streams of posts. There is no penalty or friction to start with some small e-mail provider.
I think the Cybertruck would've been successful even if they'd launched it the same week as their big presentation. People loved it or hated it the moment they saw it and it was all everybody talked about. That kind of word of mouth is hard to replicate. I can't even remember when or how the Model 3 was announced or first presented. I think not being able to launch it since then has been more of a detriment in that light and it feels like more of a joke product that people use to make fun of Tesla.
can anyone tell me if this work apple is putting into wine directly or indirectly is going to help linux in any way?
> An option like that is specifically designed for hate

This is very short-sighted, I feel. The controversial comments often have the most interesting discussions, and helps to avoid the issue of the top-voted comment being a popular, but incorrect, view/discussion where all the activity happens.

Reddit very obviously wants a LOT more money than is "fair" here - let's be real.
Kneading is the common name given to it because it looks almost like they're kneading bread. You'd have to know it's related to milk to call it milk-treading!
Do the big tech companies self-insure for medical coverage? They'd probably have pretty good access to their employees' medical records already. Not that it's a good idea to expand that more widely, but I suspect many people have no idea how widely distributed their medical information already is.
This isn’t true anymore, there are numerous ad blocking plugins that do the extensive blocking just like uBlock. May not be as good due to less active community, but the capabilities are there and a few of them are quite good.
They're developing completely different products. Apple's product is a productivity enhancing tool, the main use case is a mobile desk so that you can use your computer anywhere in the world and the monitor setup is always exactly the way you want. Meta is going for the console market. The type of product kids get for christmas.
We could invent other signaling strategies too. Maybe we lower the voltage by 5% as a "low" signal. Now we can yell at the device in binary, and more explicitly spell out the conditions.

Maybe the source sends S-O-S in Morse code. Maybe it sends a requested max power.

We can invent signalling strategies to communicate yes. EV chargers use HomePlug Green for example to commitcate. This could be consumerized & put into all devices, used to perform negotiations.

I think things like being able to contact anyone are important to people, but decentralisation doesn't necessarily provide that (e.g. if I sign up on a Mastodon instance will I be able to see the messages of everyone on every Mastodon instance, and will they be able to see mine? Will I even know if somebody I care about can see my messages or not?)

I think decentralisation is not a selling point to most people. It's an implementation detail that they're happy to go along with but it's a negative if it make the experience worse, makes everything more complicated, if they can't talk to the people they know IRL, etc.
What about it? You're arguing a point I haven't made.

I was merely saying the data set is valuable or they wouldn't have trained on it. GP was saying the data was worthless.
3D movies/TV are the perfect example: It's been PUSHED SUPER HARD for decades by execs who swear up and down the improvement in immersion will be life changing and utterly reinvent the entire industry but oh oh oh the tech just isn't here yet but you just wait it will totally take over everything.

In reality, 3D would not have made the new ghostbusters a better movie. Nobody watches a movie for "immersion", they watch it for a story.
what a funny/scary thought :)
The demand for information and entertainment is independent from Reddit supplying it, yes. But if everyone used shreddid, this demand could no longer be fulfilled on the Reddit platform, thus the demand for Reddit would cease.
There's already been some direct clones of Reddit that haven't really worked for various reasons. Maybe a big advertising budget helps with that, but it seems boring to just clone most of Reddit and maybe change a few company policies.

What I'd probably do is spend a few million to build and do some advertising on a direct Reddit clone to see how that works, but then look to fund at least 5 promising social media startups with different approaches to communicating. Maybe something more people focused, more video focused, more audio focused, and other things.

Reddit isn't organized particularly well and I'd look for a smaller team trying something different. People don't always know what they want until they see it. Maybe one of those new approaches is really sticky and can be integrated into the Reddit clone?
But that's kind of the point, isn't it? If all the people who want GPS didn't have to pay for bridges they don't want (and war machines and corporate welfare) then they'd have enough money to pay for GPS even if they were the only ones paying, and vice versa. You can still have GPS and bridges because they each have a set of people who value them at more than their cost.

Whereas if the only people who want corn subsidies are the people receiving them and not the people paying for them, you wouldn't have them anymore.
We see the same thing. One of my team is sailing around in the portal, even opening new tabs and it all is just working.

But I can't create a new session, even when remoted into an Azure-hosted VM. All our servers and services seem to be running fine; it just seems to be the portal.azure.com website that is impacted.

I don't think the current landscape of VC funds actually knows how to spot value even if it sat on their face and called them daddy. They're throwing darts at a board, basically.
Right, which SO (and not some other site) managed to entice.

Somehow users didn’t flock to my ethansusefulprogrammerquestionandanswers.com ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The goal of reddit here is to obviously shut down the app, he was saying "just pay me then" - he's obviously annoyed. Stupid thing for him to say for sure, it shut the "negotiation" down.
VC buy in proves the VC thinks they might be able to get someone else to buy in. It doesn't mean they think there's money in the actual idea.

Nothing new, just trying to capture industries/value.

None of what you said sounds cynical imo, just un-businesslike I suppose.

Who cares about shifting paradigms / something brand new? Not every business has to change the world. Most shouldn't.

The whole point of a business is to capture value full stop. Not to play around with lofty surreal visions of grandeur.
I have also been in this field for years and the allure of "open medical data" magically accelerating medical research very much does NOT feel true to me.

Skip the essay but at least give me three or four sentences why I should feel differently?
Well that's a first from HN! I do too, for what it's worth.
I'd been working as a founding engineer with a startup for the past couple of years. It was my first experience actually trying to raise money, and I had no idea how hard it actually was. I hear stories about other companies with literally nothing more than a mockup get millions of dollars, and we had a full tech stack and couldn't get more than $20K. Crazy.
Well it does. USSR was much bigger than standalone Ukraine, hence different consequences.

I am working on this problem exactly. The way I describe it is that I am making unmet market needs transparent.

It involves modelling jobs to be done, importance and satisfaction at scale and then measuring areas that represent bumps in the market.

I think to appreciate this being possible one must understand that people are capable of describing their own wants, even if they can't imagine a novel solution that could satisfy them.

samsquire, I see you come up with a lot of ideas. How do you decide which ones to work on? Do you also enjoy building/executing? How important is this problem/idea to you?

If anything your Devil's advocate is that it should apply to way, way more people than just healthcare providers, and I would thoroughly agree with that. Facebook messages have already been used to arrest women for abortions, which should be huge violation of someone's privacy and totally verboten.

You cannot say the protections it provides are overstated if you are not the people who were victimized by a lack of such protections in the first place. I do not want the "good guys" collecting panels on jews. I certainly don't want the "good guys" collecting panels of info on trans kids without involvement from parents. The idea there is a "good guys" in this scenario is ridiculous. The idea that it might save lives is a cold comfort to the status of my minor child's birth control prescription status being accessible to the government.

It was not and is not required! Many states and locations locally banned alcohol before and after prohibition. What did take a constitutional amendment was ending prohibition but only because it was implemented through a constitutional amedment.
My friend, that’s ALL of our code!
it hurts reddit's value prop and is suggested in addition to stopping posting new content, not just to cull content once it gets old. your worry about old content going away should be in proportion to how much new content degrades/slows.
That's how you use it, but I'd argue that 90% of Reddit's users don't operate the same way, considering they don't even have accounts to begin with.

In fact, I would even argue that Reddit is actively trying to push users who use Reddit this way off of the platform, as they're not as easily monetized. Reddit is notorious for having low conversion rates on its ads and extremely high ad blocking rates.
Hot take: Canadians may need to learn controlled burns.
I'm not saying any war is OK, regardless of who starts it. I would prefer there be no wars, if such a thing were feasible. I'm just saying that if you start a war the US doesn't like they have the ability to fuck you up with sanctions, and they use this ability pretty liberally to enforce a US-led peace.

And no one else really has this ability, take the Iraq War which was exceptionally vile - did the US get sanctioned for it? Nope, because sanctioning the US is basically shooting yourself in the foot. Even today it's still about a quarter of global GDP and a huge buyer of everyone else's stuff.
It's not inherently peaceful, but it's cautious.

Invading Iraq or trying to create democracy in Libya or getting Finland to join NATO is, basically, some attempt to create stability at a distance - as misguided and chaotic as the results may be. Engaging in actual, direct war the way Putin has would be unthinkable; it would be like taking your pants off at a dinner party.

[edit] I should clarify that the invading Iraq part of the above statement was meant as a bit of jest; obviously that was precisely what Putin has done.

[edit #2] the article's flaw isn't that it (rightly) locates the source of both peace and war in the profit-making capacities of companies and governments; the flaw is in its fanciful belief (and the subject of the piece) that this has somehow led to a neutered military situation of which the present Russian losses are proof. They are no proof, and the situation is more dangerous and ambiguous than ever, partially as a result of the ongoing neutering of one of the three important millitaries in the world at the hands of the most powerful alliance. Wish that it were not so, but this destabilizes what had up until now been a grouping that was mostly driven by profit.
I think OP's comment is more of a reflection of the current state of the job market than a commentary on PHP. Many, many thousands of talented laid off people are looking for jobs in tech right now and having far more trouble than in normal times.

PHP is still probably among the most widely used web languages: it's just not trendy on HN for differing reasons.
VR porn is a nice gimmick for a while, but most people aren't going to get $3500 invested in Porn.

If VR porn was that important to people, Google Cardboard would be a household name. Plenty of people have tried VR porn, and most go back to the same stuff they usually do for regular sessions.
Well, I agree with you, but to be fair this isn't everyone that owns a truck.

If you own a truck and use it even 20% of the time for its intended use - it's probably ok. But you'll see that truck in a lot of supermarket parking lots, because what are they supposed to do? Rent a car to go get groceries? Buy a second car?
The US fought a war over not wanting to pay taxes. This reductionist thinking is quite asinine.

But in our recent updates (in accordance with new data becoming available in FHIR R4), we have doctor's notes, care plans, goals (some of which are viewable in the original PDF form). Although some of that viewer technology is pretty advanced and wouldn't be supported by an app like ours, for example MRI viewers, personal health data is definitely moving in the right direction for patients!
That's only really reasonable if you use a truck only a few times a year, honestly. Otherwise it's not reasonable: renting a car isn't extremely easy, often you need the truck for a few days, etc..

But I agree: many people own trucks not because of the utility but because they like trucks.

The alarm around possible exploitation due to public medical data far exceeds the ground reality. At the same time, it has stifled progress in the field leading to more deaths than we should have to tolerate.

Big Tech is not a thing, just like big-sensors was not a thing. Electric sensing became a thing in the 1900s, and the medical community benefitted from the machines built because of them. Tech is similarly a tool that has become available to all fields over the last 30 years. By treating big-tech as a bogeyman, we end up anthropomorphizing an inanimate marker of of progress in our time. It's Scientific cartelized Amish-ness.

My controversial & intentionally provocative opinion for a while has been : "Doctors are evil". The more I read about it, the more I feel like there is an ounce of truth there.

Asylum seeking is indeed legal. But there is a process. Historically that process has not been used to grant blanket citizenships to entire countries.
When someone goes to a U.S embassy to seek asylum there is a process.

One would argue what is going on at the border is a lack of process.

Where we don't agree is if asylum is being given to the extent of the law and there, obviously, is a ton to say here since 50% of the country doesn't agree this is happening.
The problem is that the scale of "computing" going on in that particle soup is EXPONENTIALLY more than what even the largest "neural net" projects can hope to achieve. Internal chemical and signalling gradients are probably an important part of brain functioning.
Sounds like you need to allowlist google from your grey list. They have a long retry on their side. Once you tell a server to 'go away, come back later' it is really up to the server to decide when or if to retry. Additionally, If they use multiple sending IPs, you can end up grey listing again and again before they try back with a good ip.

You'd either need to allowlist the big providers sending blocks or just drop grey listing all together.
