so in other words, the state of things being how they are, is the reason they are going to be different?

this is amazingly devoid of any meaning, even for the dumb smart people on HN.
If one business excludes tax from the price while every other business includes it, that’s misleading advertisement. I think writing the full price to be paid by the customer should be mandated by law, in which case no business gets a relative advantage over any other.

Where I live, we go even further: if you offer a subscription with a binding period, you also have to write the minimum total amount to be paid by the customer before they can cancel the subscription.

This helps prevent customers into getting tricked into spending more money than they can really afford, which is a good thing?
It is good. I used Foobar2000 with UPNP for a few years. Now I am using Jellyfin to stream flac over my network.
I said companies are acting 'evil', not that customers are evil for not spending money.

You don't get what's evil because you're reacting to the environment you know, but you don't have to. Imagine a better environment where your options are not limited to "expensive headphones" or "less expensive headphones".
I would bet on it being real. ALPHV/BlackCat is a known group. They hacked Western Digital back in March.

> This problem is created by tying accounts to instances.

That's a huge issue. My identity should not be tied to anyone but me. This has to be one of the biggest things that scares (admittedly more knowledgeable than average) people off early when they're required to pick a server. Mastodon's "don't worry you can move servers later" is better but still not frictionless, and does not work unless your source server is still online.
"But Russia and China are definitely the bad guys in comparison."

I agree in the case of Russia, China seems to be dovish in regard of Ukraine.

"If West reacted in 2008 how they react now - we could have saved 100s of thousand of people AND avoided 2 wars"

I'm not sure here. My guess is Merkel and Macron were right in 2008: trying to get Ukraine and Georgia into NATO would have meant war with Russia. (actually Russia and Georgia fought a war in 2008 about South Ossetia).

In my opinion Russia is the bad revisionist guy, but the politics of the West were amateurish and reckless. And in my opinion Ukraine needs a deal and it should have tried to keep Minsk 2. And I do not see this as colonial mindset, as Ukrainian I would think the same.
How disruptive has this tech been to course 6 take home exams/homework/study axioms?

How does that description necessarily not meet that definition? The UP said nothing about whether the person in the job is obligated to pretend that the job is important.

Plus everyone is giving slightly different definitions of a bullshit job. It smells of a Motte and bailey fallacy.
Really surprised to see no objective comparison (frequency response curves etc). Are people really happy with a guy pulling out foam from his headphones and saying they sound a bit different (no shit) And he doesn't even own the other model?

The emphasis is on photorealistic.

What is being argued here? I don’t see where this turned into a competition.

It’s a paper presenting a system of new algorithms that can generate geometry, textures and lighting with extreme photorealism. It seems to do that very well. It’s not a study of the procedural 3D graphics evolution, pretending to be an entirely new technique or the first to do it.
The issue of reading and organizing content is not primarily about what kind of software you should use to store things. The main problem is figuring out how to make sense of it all when seeking out the material and while reading it.

The article discussed several experiments conducted on bats.

Bats possess the remarkable ability to echolocate using high-frequency waves, similar to sonar. Just as humans do, bats ascertain the direction of a sound wave by comparing the time intervals at which the sound reaches each ear.

The crux of the matter is that, much like humans, bats can demonstrate exceptional sensitivity. One intriguing experiment I would consider involves determining the distance at which an isolated bat can remain from its colony while maintaining synchronized brain waves. Given that bats can echolocate, their auditory sensitivity is incredibly high. If their synchronization is based on vocalizations, and the synchronized activity of scores or even hundreds of bats amplifies the signal to which they're attuning, what is the maximum distance a bat can be from the synchronizing colony and still participate in this collective rhythm? Could it be 10 feet? Or perhaps 100 feet? Or even 1000 feet? This would be fascinating to explore.
Most of them are, but the reason why (in the words of YouTuber Ahoy) piracy has such an awesome soundtrack, is that the cracking groups grew out of the Commodore scene.

> The moment you run linux on it, it gets a bit scarce.

I might be quite out of date but 16 MB of RAM was plenty to run Linux with something like buildroot. Is that no longer the case?
Scaring off is a weird way to phrase it.

It's like saying that Linux 's inherent capability for copyright violation (cp tool) will never be fully fixed. Linux isn't "on the edge of legitimacy" as a result.

It's just that with AML there's a much much larger marketing budget on the part of the people pushing against financial freedom.

Oh, porn definitely is an extremely old thing.

Pompei is remarkable in that aspect. Not only for the porn [1] preserved by the eruption, but also for the (some explicit) graffiti [2] [3] [4] [5]. It seems their perception and use too have evolved over time. And that "x was here" truly is timeless.

How much of the 'dread' was because it was painful and how much of it was just a consequence of homophobia?
As usual, I recall the remarks of C.A.R Hoare on his 1980's Turing Award speech, regarding bounds checking on Algol compilers and customers point of view on how it should be unlawful to do otherwise.

Never, ever, since 1986, have bounds checking been the major source of performance issues on applications I have written.

Rather ill chosen algorithms or data structures.
In my experience, there is usually some percentage of people that archive whatever channels they use. Sometimes they will put them up on a website.

There's also nothing stopping anyone from doing that, and it's quite easy. I've always just had irssi running on some server that archives everything and I ssh into the server when I want to chat.
You haven't pointed at anything actually breaking those rules.
Interesting, do you know if that applies to the fruit colored models or the later white ones?

I disassembled a white iBook G4 ages ago and it was a real mess to take apart.
I also had this thought, but perhaps in a slightly different angle: All this spare capital to splash on vague nonsense, looks like a symptom of a worsening rich poor divide. It's a concentration of wealth in a segment that is too small to spend it wisely.
Yes, let's talk about a whole bunch of POTENTIAL shortcomings of a V1 product that is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the competition.

This is why I tell everyone in my company not to complain about something unless they have a better solution.

Does this guy offer any solutions or present better products? No. That's because with current technology, this is the best we can do.

What a jerk.

Holy crap, MIT, I had to close out three popups to read the article. That’s with ad blockers turned on.

I’m surprised by how organizations lend their name to such terrible user experiences.
What is the point of power if not to abuse it. Start a business, it's new and good and you penetrate the market, you grow and grow and... are you willing to let the next better product put you out of business? No of course not, you will throw all the weight you have to squash the competition disregarding fair play and ethics - that's why you grabbed that power, so that you can use it!

The USSR collapsed and 3 decades have past. Except Venezuela there is no menace of worker revolution at the horizon anywhere in the world. There is absolute zero menace to corrupt capitalist governments who run a two-party turnist democracy.
It’s a self-truthing statement. As in, everyone who doesn’t agree with you is also excluded from your criteria. So from your point of view, you are absolutely right.

It goes like this:

- Papa deer: “Remember son, you have the power to make objects move by thought. If you see a car rolling towards you, STARE at it straight in the headlights and concentrate and move it with your mind.”

- Son deer: “Isn’t that how grandpa died?”

- Papa deer: “He didn’t believe enough.”

So I’ll say it straight away: Some people, no matter how they work to build a startup, are blocked from success by external factors, on which they can do nothing. And I can say that because I’m a millionaire twice from startups, and that gift/set of skills/learnings/factors will never dawn on some people.

Of course I’m definitely not saying that because I’m single and have no talent in women ;) But I’m tired of “Just put your mind to it, and if it doesn’t work, it’s because you didn’t try enough.” No. I irritate women. I can see it in their eyes, and there is no way around that (at least until someone tells me what my defect is, assuming it’s a defect I can work upon, but everyone lies to me saying “try more”. No, papa deer).
Reading between the lines, "my takeaway from Twitter and Elon at Twitter is that a trash fire is as good a business strategy as anything we can think of"
PS2s were a controlled export because Iraq was under sanctions for Nuclear Weapons development, and creating a Beowulf cluster using PS2s was an efficient way to build HPC infrastructure when companies like Xillinx et al were barred from directly selling to Iraq.

“After 21 hours I got bored…”

There are devs and then there are kernel devs.

The relentless pursuit of bugs is truly impressive.
It's also questionable how much of that will be passed on at least for Americans. My dad and step-mother are in their mid to late 60s and have ~1 million net worth but a lot of that is wrapped up in their house and retirement accounts, which will probably be taken by the state when they require care in their old age. Nursing home care will eat through all of that without blinking. There's a huge difference between 'retired with a 500k paid off house and about 1 million in net worth' and a 900 million net worth even though both are 'millionaires'.
The broader point is pretty simple - you suggestion fails in the relevant problem domain, which is social networks

> It's well documented that 95% of users are lurkers

then you wouldn't mind citing a source? Though bear in mind that in this context lurker is a social media platform user who:
a) reads but
b) never interacts (no likes, no shares, no comments, no posts, no messages, no games etc.)
It depends on the business context you're going into. I’d you’re going into a completely novel space, it’s still an extremely valuable approach. If you’re competing in an existing market, with a twist, it’s far less necessary.

I still like to recommend it because it fights the tendency for technical people to over build and get lost in the weeds. You see it all of the time on HN. A Show HN that lands flat because the author didn’t figure out if people actually want the product.

I think the Marty Cagan books are a good pairing. They’re a step up from lean, but still follow the principle of ensure you’re building what your customer wants.
Oh, so then the problem is only that they are spending their nine-to-five in an alienated existence and it is impossible (“They don't have the executive view”) for them to fix it.

No biggie.
I hope Reddit refuses and BlackCat releases. Taking corporate money only emboldens bad acting corporations.

Not surprised Thomas Gleixner ultimately found the root cause. He did a lot of real time work and this bug was a timer related bug.
This is not the right analogy for cryptocurrency.

The "Linux" in this case is cryptography itself. It actually used to be restricted. In the 1990s the United States still placed export restrictions on computer cryptography software, but those were sensibly removed. (You couldn't even distribute a web browser with full-strength HTTPS support under those rules!)

Today nobody has a problem with the availability of cryptographic algorithms. It's the prevailing applications in cryptocurrency specifically that create the problem because they run counter to existing laws. Just like if you use Linux to run a piracy network, the problem isn't Linux but what you do with it.
> which is at the heart of the Twitter Files controversy

Ok. Could you quote specifically when that was documented to happen? As in actually forced by a government agency, not just links provided to Twitter as "you should check out these tweets".
Nice article, although I wonder why walking is considered greener than cycling. Is it because producing bicycles and bicycle infrastruce has an environmental impact?

Regardless, once you own a bike and once bike lanes are built, there's no environmental reason not to bike instead of walk whenever you want to, right?
This was a great read. Very understandable and useful!

The "informal logical path" proves the informal implication, but what counts as a proof of this implication here can be agent dependent. If we talk about proving formal implication, then we have still the problem of deduction[1][2][3]. In short, natural language doesn't distinguish between "inference rules" and expressing this rule in a sentence and using it as a premiss. Which leads to an infinite regress, unless the agent just stops at some point, unlike the tortoise in Carroll's story.

Personally I never want browser or editor windows to be fullscreened unless I’m working on a tiny screen like on the 12” MacBook Air or maybe 12” Macbook. On anything larger doing that makes for tons of blank space that could be used for other relevant windows or at letting my desktop peek around the edges.

IDEs on the other hand I like having fill my screen because of all their editors and panes, but I still don’t use actual fullscreen but rather option-click the green button which resizes the window to fill the desktop without actually going fullscreen.
Again, it's irrelevant what your opinion of the competition is. I'm just pointing that _they are_ abusing their dominant position to stiffle the competition, as recently as 2 months ago, and using the same tactiques they have been using since forever.

"The competition sucks" has never been an argument _at all_ in any antitrust case and never will, by definition.

There’s a corollary to this which is you need to prioritize design to not take you out of your way more the higher up you are.

A pedestrian path that goes a block out of your way is discouraging in a way that a half mile dogleg in a car is not.

Sidewalks need to connect directly to destinations; not wander blocks out of the way to circuit parking lots.

The best “pathing” should be for pedestrians, followed by that for bikes. Cars and busses can go far out of their way, and trains can stay on their tracks.
Get a cheap VPN like SurfShark VPN (follow my links to get 82% off - just kidding but I do use them). It's perfectly safe to use a cheap VPN like that if you're just trying to hide yourself from non-governmental actors to keep your private info private.
I think the OP is saying to use email to deliver slack messages.

If you don't want to use email like email, use something like slack or IRC or teams.

Though... reading the comments it's clear people have radically different ideas about what email is for. Probably nothing wrong with that; MSFT's not going to be able to market the next version of teams/skype/outlook if we all agree what our comms channels are for.
Just use Windows then! What's the big deal? You don't want to invest time when something does not work like expected, so don't do it.

Please mind that a lot of things with Linux are developed, packaged and run by volunteers in their spare time. They invest their time and see value in it, you don't.

Why do you whine about that in such way? You make it sound you somehow regret your decision, do you?
Having used GNOME (and actually, running it on a couple of machines right now), I think macOS is at least a step or two above “overengineered GNOME”, because GNOME itself is basically what you’d get if you asked someone to turn iPadOS into a desktop OS. It feels considerably more restrictive than macOS does.
i never got Chromecast to work with it. There are issues, i tried from browser and Android app.
I've been running Kodi ever since it was Xbox Media Center and have yet to find anything more polished.

With the amount of money I spent on my car (which is not a lot compared to what most people spend) I could have saved several people by donating to givewell, at a comparatively trivial inconvinience of having to bicycle/take the bus to work.

But I didn't, because the money is mine to do with as I please. Just like the billionairs money is theirs to do with as they please.
So I guess that's a good argument that... if you don't want a phone with unrestricted ads and tracking, you shouldn't buy one from a company whose primary business model is selling ads and analytics.

The original post I replied to in this thread was arguing that Apple restricting Facebook had nothing to do with Apple's market position. You nailed it, thank you. Google's market position maybe does make it impossible for them to do what Apple did. And I guess to the other comments about an open pro-privacy platform, this is exactly the answer to what would need to be done. "We" would need a company that:

- values privacy

- values being an open platform

- has the technical capability to build fantastic hardware and software

- has figured out a profitable business model that doesn't involve selling out on either of those values and can support that technical capability
The pyramid also takes into account how “vulnerable” each mode of transportation is, in other words, who yields to whom. If you’ve ever been run over by a cyclist - it hurts. So it stands to reason that pedestrians should be prioritized and protected by users of modes towards the tip of the pyramid.

Bicycles still take physical space with racks and stuff. Also, e-bikes directly use energy though they're not listed (neither are motorbikes).

I agree that this is pretty trivial in terms of environmental impact, it's probably just about the friction involved, we already have legs.
The very fact that they do it for free shows the value of their work - it is zero.

If they really were the garbagemen of the Internet they’d be paid accordingly.

"der Trauer" would be correct as an inflected form (genitive or dative singular), but that's not what you would list as a dictionary definition.

A good AI should be smart enough to know that if you ask for "German words with the article 'der'", you're most likely to want to be given a list of masculine nouns.
