I'm not fully familiar with the facts of the cases in each jurisdiction, but wasn't there a great deal of crowing in Europe when the UK did the opposite of their EU counterparts and blocked the merger several weeks back? If the US were also to block, it would instead make the EU approving the aquisition the outlier. The whole thing tends slightly to the absurd when the reasons for blocking often are completely different in each region too.

according to the videos they show, people move around a lot in a room with these things on, grab things (e.g. their phone, cup of coffee). and makes sense, if you see basically what you have in front of you, then there's no "boundaries" you should stay in not to bump into things.

Turn OFF mining facilities? Because what? It is morally good or something? This stupid argument always hinges on this fantasy and it never happens in reality. Any token mining adds a constant load to the system, while preserving all of the variability, it just makes peaks higher, and lows also higher.

And then people are acting surprised about commenters here arguing against tokens for seemingly no reason or monetary gain. How about people are simply pissed off about reading lies for a decade now?
In many societies, women's labour was significantly undervalued compared to men's, so the more women, relative to men there are in your household, the more stress it puts on your resources.

Also, if women in a society inherit nothing (Because it all goes to sons), whomever they marry is going to expect a dowry, instead. Which puts further financial stress on the family, to save up for said dowry. Which is made more difficult by point #1.

Also, women often married at a younger age than men, which again, would make the dowry issue financially ruinous for a family. The longer you scrimp and save, the harder it will be for your daughter to get a good match...

Here's another fun bit (from ancient Greece, but plenty of other parts of the world shared the same fucked-up dynamic.)

Women weren't allowed to own property. What happens when a woman is the only child, and her dad dies?

She'd be forced to marry one of her close male relatives - usually an uncle, to 'keep the inheritance in the family'. [1]

I think an option to only show comments from people subscribed to the same communities as you, or the community you're viewing the content from could solve this.
Yeah one key missing feature is subreddit creation and moderation.

Without all the free labor from moderators curating content for topics with different tastes and ideas about what the community should be, it's going to be a struggle to build a community.

As an author, a lot of this bugs me but not for the reasons listed in the article. Trying to patch over old stories just ends up making them worse most of the time.

I'd rather see people retell the story without the stuff they see as problems. Get at the heart of the story and tell it better. (IIRC, this is what happened in Shakespeare's time.)

But no one is going to do that. It's more work and everyone is looking to do this as cheaply as possible to make more money.
Extremely interested in talking. I was actually going to reach out to you/RIF/Apollo.

Do you mind sending me an email at j@jjcm.org? Would love to talk more.

I have some plans for 3rd party app revenue sharing I'd love your thoughts on. What I'm thinking is that with the $1/mo server fee I charge users, I'd carve out 30c of that as the "frontend fee", which I would distribute evenly between the frontends that user was using that month. If they were only using an app, I'd pay that app $0.30 for the month for that user. If they were using the app and the website, each would get $0.15 for the month.
It's not about what you believe, it's WHY do you believe it.

It's better to start with logic, reason, and scientific evidence - not with guesses, fear, or conspiracy theories.

Sometimes the conspiracy theories are true!! The US government DID test mind control and psychadelic drugs on people. They DID forcibly sterilize thousands of african americans. But was 9/11 an inside job? Doesn't seem like it.

Don't forget, most of the same people screaming Lab Leak were later screaming Horse Worm Medicine.
Except an environment that is highly toxic does not attract decent people with good community intentions. While you have learned a lot about LLMs and generative AI for instance, it is extremely unlikely you have learned from the most well informed sources. It's definitely a community, but nobody can reasonably argue 4chan is a community that creates the best/most useful content.
They demoed this in the State of the Union I think. Vision Pro was on with Xcode + a live build of the app that was being developed side by side. I'm not sure if Xcode was running on device or on a Mac though.
It depends on how good you are at music theory.

Some people can do this cleanup really quickly.
I think it'll be great for "doing work", but I'm not entirely sure if it'll immediately outclass my in-office setup that my employer has already spent thousands on. However, I don't have a wfh setup in my small apartment because I didn't want to dedicate space for that purpose, so when I occasionally need to wfh I just use a laptop on my couch or dining table and I would love it to replace that. I think if an employer were speccing out a new office it would definitely be a viable option to have a small laptop + Vision Pro instead of desktop (or bigger laptop) + multiple external monitors.

I also don't expect it to be super dystopian or replace real life in general, but it could definitely replace the parts where you're already looking at a screen regardless.

It is technically capable of being "life scale" in the way that you describe: it tries to keep a consistent coordinate system across multiple reboots and from room to room and real life objects can occlude virtual objects, but to be honest I have no clue what the average use case will be or how the OS will enforce it.

What Safari behavior are you complaining about, exactly? ("obstructing the browser UI with a toolbar" doesn't make any sense to me)

You do realize that even if it might work, and even if there weren't any other side effects like acid rain, this would essentially make every piece of sky on every day hazy. We'd essentially trade the very concept of "blue sky" for a livable temperature. Kinda hard to put a price on that for me. Maybe I'd prefer living with genuinely less comfort but blue skies.
It does, but it does not break them out in to tracks.
> Sweden average rainfall seems to be trending up on a 100-year scale. https://tradingeconomics.com/sweden/precipitation

Your averages are meaningless if not intentionally misleading. The country is huge ranging from 55°N to 69°N and having four distinct and relatively extreme seasons. It's ridiculous to assert that the droughts down here in the south aren't new, drastic and caused by climate change. The sea water here is virtually room temperature. Don't try to tell me that's normal. Cherry picking through your confirmation bias is no substitute for being here and being able to read our news with access to experts studying and working with exactly this.

I think that model is more sustainable, if we do assume that discord will sunset eventually I would guess two possible avenues. First one is feature creep - different communities want different features and eventually discord forms into everything app that new users find confusing. Maybe there is a new simple, cool, and hip competitor that takes off. Second one is rotting of each community from the inside by overwhelming them with information. I've gone through plenty of servers that I've fully engaged with, but that had grown too big. These servers are on permanent mute and I never read any messages because keeping up with the traffic is impossible. The result of this is that instead of keeping discord running in the background I switched to opening it only when I want to game with friends.

This is what I read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharin#Warning_label_additi...

> However, in 2000, the warning labels were removed because scientists learned that rodents, unlike humans, have a unique combination of high pH, high calcium phosphate, and high protein levels in their urine.[34][35] One or more of the proteins that are more prevalent in male rats combine with calcium phosphate and saccharin to produce microcrystals that damage the lining of the bladder. Over time, the rat's bladder responds to this damage by overproducing cells to repair the damage, which leads to tumor formation. Since this does not occur in humans, there is no elevated risk of bladder cancer.[36]

I work in the biosciences (in a role between lab tech and actual scientist). So many things are provisionally accepted simply because you don't have the time or resources to verify them. Which is not too different from any other job, it just seems weird in the context of the sciences.

The copyright OWNERS are to be denied their rights to do with their property what they wish?

Further, they're forced to print some version of their property?

Honestly, no, books go in and out of print all day long, and first editions have always been 'collectible' because they're 'original'

Changes/edits happen all the time (hell some authors keep web pages of errata because their originals require updating), just that the edits in question have people clutching their pearls.

Interesting here how the HN rules seem to be a limitation.
I'd say the fact that Amazon is using it's power in a very unexpected way should be highlighted somehow in the title.

But because the original blog writer doesn't do that, current HN rules say you should not do that either. Instead, HN rules say you should post the original article and keep the original title.
But in this case, by doing that you are effectively hiding what actually happened. This original title sounds so uninteresting that I'd say it would be warranted here to post the article with the title of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36294748
There’s been very poorly detailed/researched press coverage even in tech circles about this.

I do worry about the quality of credible press coverage around this. The issues are much deeper than charging for the API. Many prudent points are missed even in the “I was there when it happened” explainers.
I think you misinterpreted my comment. What I was attempting to convey is that the mods on Reddit are easily replaceable, not because good mods are easy to replace, but because Reddit mods are generally not good mods. I wouldn't make the same comment about HN mods for example, or of the few subs that do have good mods (but from my experience, they are a minority).
Well, sure, if you’re not one of those people, the abuse isn’t even targeted at you.

LLMs are still a really immature technology.
The hype is about where it could go in future, not necessarily where it is now.

Think about when compilers were immature technology, and the science of parsing/etc and optimizations were not well understood. You could make the exact same argument you have made now about the need of editing assembly or machine code by hand when the compiler doesn't get it right.

It was indeed common practice to do this well into the 1980s. That, and inline assembly is increasingly unnecessary now.
I saw the same thing, it seems to be because the login form is hidden off screen or something but still gets focused.
I applaud any attempt to compete with existing social networks.

That said, user expectations are very high these days. The site looks awful on a phone, and I completely lost interest after about 5 seconds of trying to read the contents. Given how easy to make a site responsive these days and how relatively simple the main page is, that was quite disappointing.

Still, I hope you keep working on improving it!

An idea I mull over occasionally: what if you could spend your karma points to boost any given post? This would ultimately be another form of paid advertising, except that the currency used would be earned by contributing to the community. Then, allow people to sell their karma points for fiat currency. Companies would buy karma points directly from users in order to promote their self-promotional posts, but those posts would be subject to the same rules and moderation as any other post. That way you're actually paying your best users rather than charging them.

There are a number of details about it which are the same as the plans from 2018. I don't think it's reasonable to think the plans of scientists don't get revised as they work. And as soon as the virus starts spreading, even in test mice in the lab, it will start to mutate. So it is entirely possible that what leaks from a lab is a natural mutation off of an engineered virus.

Trying to use difference in details in this case to sow doubt isn't reasonable in my opinion because it's details that are realistically impossible to nail down.

Also, obviously, I talked about revenue numbers, not content which already generated far than enough using default reddit app/web.
Citizens united was clearly about expression as the term is commonly understood. Upholding the law would have given the government power to ban books, pamphlets, and most forms of communication commonly understood to be first amendment speech.

Per the government's argument, "the government would have the power to ban books if those books contained even one sentence expressly advocating the election or defeat of a candidate and were published or distributed by a corporation or labor union."

It wasn't some crazy hypothetical about violence being an act of personal expression, or something like that. It was about other people can organize to share verbal, written, and recorded political ideas.

As with many Supreme Court rulings, the political spin far eclipsed the actual decision and arguments.
This really resonated with me, and I'm wondering what the practical implications are for the development of a sane social landscape for the modern internet.

We seem to all agree that VC-funded platforms are the wrong bet, and I would take it further and say that that means that no centralized platform can be the answer. You simply can't run something on the scale of Reddit with any other funding model.

I would like to think something like the fediverse could work—instances can in theory function as small villages, they can gate membership so that they can control the rate of new additions. An instance can be small enough in scale that it can be paid for out of pocket by a single admin, maybe with help from the members, which eliminates the perverse incentive for growth. Federation can (in theory) provide links between communities that aren't possible with a traditional bulletin board forum.

I do wonder, though, if the fediverse is going to suffer for straddling the middle ground between village and platform. A lot of people seem to want all the benefits of the village without losing the intensely-connected feeling of a place like Reddit or Twitter. Is such a thing possible, or are they mutually exclusive?
Everyone just has multiple accounts, but I'd say it still works better than having separate twitter, instagram, reddit, and youtube accounts. You may need a peertube account to post a video, but just about anyone can comment if they like. Can't comment on a youtube video from twitter.

villages scale up to cities successfully, however. Some media like reddit do not grow beyond the village culture. The villagers are imposing their politics on every subreddit, even if it is about obscure crafts. Maybe there is something wrong with the medium, or it is too simplistic.
Ask HN: I just can't get anything done. Help
I probably have ADD. I have some fantastic ideas. But whatever I do I can't seem to get them done.

My most productive days were when I was young and I would work until early morning while drinking. I could get so much done.

But now I am older, I am more conscious of the damage to my health by having late nights and the benefits of a consistent sleep schedule.

The problem is I am just not reliably productive during the day. And now that I can't just work late into the night, I struggle to get anything done at all.

I will be so pumped to work, and then when I'm done with the gym/run, shower and breakfast, I sit down and just can't do anything. And because I have to stick to my set bedtime, this time is lost. When before I would just go until 4am without feeling tired.

To do the projects I want to do, I need like huge 8+ hours of flow. So all my plans and dreams start feeling unrealistic. There are glimpses of flow sessions now and then that make me feel like if I could maintain this day to day, I would have some hope. But it's just so rare.

Any ideas?

> When I sat down to write this article I was having trouble context shifting back from WWDC mode and wished that I could have gone up to a virtual cabin in the woods, opened a text editor and written it there. Or similarly while I was watching WWDC session videos in my hotel room on my 13” MacBook Pro I found myself wishing for a larger display where I could have the video, notes, documentation and Xcode open all at once.

This reinforces the idea that Vision Pro is for a portable, fully immersive work experience. Which dovetails nicely with the post-Covid notion of working in various locations as convenient/affordable. Bring a Vision Pro with you to "the cabin" or hotel or remote working location, to have a more productive experience than just a small laptop. Or college dorm, where you don't have your own dedicated work space.
Yes, It's much faster. Not just in rush hours. But apart from that I like to pay for products that make me more productive :)

Yeah. Majority of marriages even today are arranged by the family and it becomes impersonal and somewhat crassly practical. Choices are sorted by their family's net worth, social standing, color(darker complexion is looked down), age and education. Choices usually belong to the same caste. Color has nothing to do with race, like in US. People come in all sorts of colors, even in the same family, like Mendelian flowers and lighter complexion is usually preferred.

This means that if someone is educated but comes from a poor family, they may not find a match. The irony is some of these people pulled themselves up from their bootstraps. It is hard for a groom to find a bride once they are past 30, if they didn't before, because of said bootstrapping.

Edit: Added caste.
