I don't have a satisfying answer. My bet would be something like a decentralized P2P solution that uses the LBRY protocol.

One specific idea that could see reality some day is a site that hosts proprietary videos on their own servers (for professional and paid creators) but also lists non-commercial creators that store their data in their own cloud platform of choice or indeed in the P2P network. The main point would be to not rely on dark patterns and ads in supporting this business but offload as much storage/bandwidth as possible to other servers.

I said they have to go cause I am slowly having enough of their policies. Sorting by old is a minor inconvenience but having 15-45 (!) minute long ads is just ludicrous (I listen to podcasts to sleep). I've also heard some voices about an anti-adblock campaign being rolled out, I wonder how that goes...

They would have to be making quite a bit of these to be able to get necessary funds. Mostly it’s just custom parts and the mfg is adding large margins but again on very low numbers of widgets.
"Open source" doesn't really help much without the "Free and" prefix, and unfortunately there's no way to reconcile software freedom and banning specific use cases. Dunno if you remember the "can we remove Nazis from ToR" controversy awhile back but it's the same kind of thing. It's either free or it isn't.

The top 12 PFAS producers in the world and the staggering societal costs of PFAS pollution

Only twelve companies account for a majority of the PFAS production in the world. PFAS production is hardly profitable, but the cost for society is massive.

Show HN: Whatifi Case Study – The Writer's Strike, Cash Flow and VFX Studios
Here's a link *DESKTOP ONLY* to the actual, interactive model as well that you can click around in to see the logic - https://bit.ly/3JpAi4B

The Writer's Strike is wreaking havoc on the VFX and post-production industry. VFX studios are digging deep into Excel hell trying to model dozens of "what if" scenarios. Often they are bidding multiple projects and multiple episodes which means multiple variables.

Some are trying to figure out what happens if Stranger Things Season 5 delays filming two months, or four months, or six months? Do they need to cut back staff? What if House of The Dragon pushes out and their award is only half what they expect? Can they stay in business?

I'm using software we built ([whatifi.io](http://whatifi.io/)) to model out a bunch of what if outcomes for this use case.

Instead of rows and columns and formulas and spreadsheets, whatifi is a node-based, decision-tree scenario builder riffed off of technology and workflows from the VFX industry. Decision-makers can connect together a series of pre-built business logic events to VISUALLY build out dozens (if not hundreds) of “what if” scenarios - all in real time.

Think Miro or Lucid Charts meets Excel w/ a splash of Final Cut Pro.

And here is the video explainer for this model again.

Sometimes, but not always. People tend to underestimate how much costs are coming from certification, testing and corresponding warranties.

The F-117 so did canabalize quite some "spares" bought for the F-16 and F-15 fleets.
Also once the session is up, it's too late for your purposes. PTT or "just don't talk" is not a solution at all.
just got a 2023 forester; ux is pretty bad too - esp carplay
when I connect my iphone and I want navigation and music, the music is at a reasonable volume but the navigation is deafening and the touchscreen isn't multitouch and is overall pretty bad

I ultimately just gave up and put in a car charger as I can't charge without activating carplay and just use bluetooth which works much better and use the much smaller phone screen for navigation

I don't get why the touchscreens on new cars are worse than those of iphones from >10 years ago
I agree with you, just was an observation about how things changed.
I can relate. Don't forget that there will be moments that make it worthwhile.

Negative consequences are one important class of reasons not to do things. Positive consequences exist, too.

Sorry if this is annoying. I hope it might help anyone that is down this path.
I used Qt4 for a few years and never found an easy way to run a widget outside the context of a window.

Maybe I didn't check the docs closely, maybe it's better in Qt6. I stopped working on GUIs a while back.

Fwiw HTML and xaml were just as bad for that.
I once had a fraudster inexplicably start hitting a debit card I never used using an "Amazon Seller" source. They kept trying even after I closed the card. Because I am not actually a seller myself, Amazon support outright told me "No, we're not going to help you." Left it to my bank, who only compensated me after a police report.

What a mess.
How else did people think Github was able to do things like link to function definitions or scanning for secrets stored in private repos to alert you?
Chewy is from moisture. Vent the pot better.

Maybe it's the shallowness of pop math?
I sometimes find pop math even insulting. Not a grown up response, sure, but how many times can you hear "WaOw there are Bigger infinities???"
sure it's nice that they find it cool but when I start to talk about the things that are more interesting I can see the shift in them as they quickly get bored. Perhaps it's the quick realization that no one outside of math actually cares that is insulting, after all those times they hyped us up.

There was an interesting article going around explaining accounting artifacts in the DoD from the late '90s. See 'the myth of the $600 hammer':

Also curiously members of the intelligence community never wrote letters to the editor suggesting one candidate was a compromised asset of a foreign government but not quite outright lying about it…
No, not BMW. You’d have to go 5+ years at very least.

My point was that in a lot of places people who can’t afford a new car other than Dacia would still rather buy an older car from a more prestigious brand due to “reasons”.
I’m strongly considering buying a Framework 16 when they come out. But with all the hype they’re generating, I feel certain that I and many others have to be disappointed. It can’t live up to it.
> Your k8s pods example is a good source of my hives. Anything that runs on a timer to fire off events is going to get bogged down and lose data

I'd have said if you want to gracefully deal with a system that loses events, a timer-based system can ensure the errors from lost events will always be in your customer's favour.

The last thing you'd want is to start the taximeter with a start-pod event, then lose the stop-pod event and end up billing the customer for nothing, forever.
A trash can needs to be tested and certified for use in the Pentagon?

... holding a small collection of waste is that intense eh?
Yes. Of course, it's the OP's personal ranking, but for me The Tempest would have been higher, in the top 5 for sure.
Umm, no. A 17,000% increase in price for a TRASH CAN is not justified under any circumstance. That is straight up robbery that Boeing knows they can get away with.

“Very popular” probably needs to be quantified. In the US pickup trucks are the best selling car type by far. I even see increasing numbers of them in NYC which is ridiculous.
Today when I see misspells in articles I think:
- they forgot to spell check
- but at least it's human

I suppose robots will soon do mistakes intentionally
In the absence of law, there is only power.
All the certifications for all that were done well before. This price change only began in 2020. Boeing had been charging $300 for the trash can for at least a decade prior. The current change is just exploiting the system.

Moreover the 707, which is basically what these trash cans were made for, entered service in _1957_.

Sometimes a spade is just a spade, greed is just greed and you don't need to bend over backwards to find an excuse for bigcorp.
Yep, `open` is great

I regularly use it to open a Finder window with the current directory

On Linux there is a similar tool called `xdg-open` for graphical desktop environment users
I checked out Janet and it is pretty cool. However, if your goal is to learn a lisp, Janet isn't the best option.

Janet looks lispy, but it really deviates from both core lisp and clojure conceptually.

To me, the biggest benefit of learning a lisp variant is in the concept, not the parens.

Scheme is probably the most beautiful, clojure the most fun, and common lisp the most standard. Racket is very close to scheme, has good libs, and feels modern.

I cut my teeth on 'The Little Schemer' book, and found it super enjoyable. Good luck!

> 0.11% or even 0.08% of total worldwide energy consumption is a fucking shit ton of energy.

Completely irrelevant. Because other uses of energy (that me and lots of other people consider wasted or even harmful) are orders of magnitude larger and thus harmful than Bitcoin's.

Either you accept that not every person on the planet agrees upon which uses of energy are useful to them individually. Or you're basically saying "my opinion on which energy uses are legit and which aren't is the only one that matters", at which point we can stop discussing altogether because I don't really care about "discussing" with people who have this standpoint.
So we're better because we think we can protect ourselves from colonialism coming back home?

All the things you're implying others do to us are things we have done to them or others.
Blame Boeing or the government willing to pay it?
It’s almost like an abstract self-correction algorithm: Safety practices in the industry will always be just a bit above the emotional tolerance of average person to average incident.
It's not a huge deal in same sense as exposing parts of your initials, half masked e-mail addresses, or the last 4 digits of credit card numbers are not a huge deal, each of which could allow your adversary recover full details in some cases should they exist.

Where I work, our target devices run RHEL but many of our dev workstations run Rocky Linux.

If the software I write behaves on my workstation but then malfunctions on my target device because a bug was only fixed in Rocky Linux, that would be very annoying.

I want stuff to run the exact same way on both so that I can develop workarounds if needed before even deploying to the targets.

With all due respect to Louis - he always sounds angry.
Grinder means finer salt.
Finer salt sticks to things better (you can get a baby powder consistency).

And the way the salt "tastes" is different because the powder dissolves on your tongue differently/quicker.

Salt "dust" is a really interesting way of adding salt to food -- and you actually end up adding less than larger grains
those were the days ... but then society went down the drain and they all died - good that it's illegal now and nobody uses it anymore!
I remember the folks that took a redacted report from a private firm as sufficient evidence to create a international incident claiming that, however I doubt the standards of evidence used to reach that conclusion.
They go into airplanes, not the Pentagon, which is right at the beginning of TFA.

So they are probably weirdly shaped.
You can understand why any taxpayer of the US, after reading this, might question why an increase in the federal income tax is justified.
Ah yes, the old 'companies are screwing us but it is regulation that is the real problem' argument that seems to disregard everything that reality and history presents.

Hint: if you have no evidence of something but believe it because of an underlying philosophy, you should figure out how true it is before arguing its case.
Do people want Github to display files in your private repos on github.com? Do you want syntax highlighting and intellisense? Do you want them tokenized for search? Should they be available for cloning when you need it? Should they run security scans and identify vulnerabilities? Should you be able to see git blame, diffs, commits, other metadata? Set up build pipelines? Modify contents via an API?

Tell me – how can Github do all of this without programmatically accessing the contents of your private repos from their servers?
This is a reducto ad absurdum example of how the US government is paying out the nose to keep a bunch of manufacturing and development work on-shore in the USA.

Yeah, sure, it's a trash can, there's no reason it should cost $50k. We're all agreed that's an absurd amount to pay for a trash container.

The government isn't just paying for the trash can.

They're paying for people to design, tool, and maintain that design. It's economic investment in people and skills, not necessarily just the finished product.

The reason you can buy an OXO trash can for $30 on Amazon are the scale and volume at which they're produced. Development costs for that can are probably not dissimilar from those in this example, as far as paying for human time and effort to make the thing reality.

The problematic element of it is when companies charge these sorts of absurd fees for a design that was produced decades ago (the E-3 is not a new aircraft by any means) and not adding meaningful value on top of it.

It's a pretty interesting tradeoff. Should we pay outrageous amounts of money for stuff like this? It keeps people employed, which generates other positive economic effects, like buying houses and groceries. It also creates handy design and manufacturing know how, which is a useful thing to have if our current cold war with China ever heats up in the South China Sea. It's a lot harder to buy war materiel from your adversary when lead is flying.
I doubt there's any legal way to say "we'll only read your manifests". Programmers may know what that means (and still debate it, honestly), but I'm skeptical the law has the ability to distinguish between the designated utilities of specific files.
A modest home, in a LCOL area, purchased in the 90s or early 2000s, could have an annual mortgage in this range. Post 2020 may be higher (on the same mortgage) with insurance rate increases.
It's built with Tailwind CSS. We'll open-source the website as well in 1-2 weeks.
You sound like you know what you are talking about but I am not following. As a consumer I had a choice of vehicle (I could have bought a sedan or a station wagon or a minivan) and I picked what I wanted.
The kind of places I like to vacation commonly have no cell service. The built in GPS works pretty good without cell service. Google/Apple maps fail in this scenario.
If it goes on a plane, not as cargo but as part of the equipment: yes. Inflameable, certification paper work, corresponding risk for the supplier, obligations to provide said waste bin for, sometimes, 50 years after last serial delivery... That stuff adds up very quickly. Throw in low quantities, and the high NRC ammortized per unit, and that explains a bunch of said prices.

Plus obligatory surcharge for being aerospace, plus obligatory surcharge for being military.
> Age and skin color, let alone sex, don't a good product make.

Did you use any tags in your post? And which tags if you did? Keep in mind that other users can report. If your bag appears in my timeline by misusing a tag I'm subscribed to it's an insta-report because man you can't imagine how many spammers there are pushing dropshipped goods from China.

And even if no one reported you if you don't have 2fa etc I'd say it's reasonable for FB to assume your (IG) account was sold, hacked or swapped.

Filing government levels of paperwork, especially for the defense sector is incredibly expensive. All that is reflect into the price of equipment.

Yeah, no. I have no idea what that person is referencing. I've had all the available salts around me and I've literally never seen sugar in salt. That would be insane. They do use an anti caking agent sometimes though, but that's more like sand

Having a computer read your data can be even worst then a human... After all a human programmed it to find whatever it wants at scale.
I disagree. If something reminds me of what I did six months ago I feel like I am a completely different human than that person. Life isn't short. Our memory is.

Imagine if everyone goes to heaven after they die but the first thing they must do in the afterlife is to watch a perfect recording of their entire life before they enter heaven. How many of those viewers are going to complain that life is too short?
The problem is authoritarianism, not Communism. Fascism is authoritarian by definition. Communism CAN be authoritarian, but that is not built in by default.

> If they make it hard to get the source code in an automated manner, they'll violate some of their licenses.

There’s no legal requirement to provide source in any specific way. They can provide it on antiquated magnetic tape.
Can you elaborate? Unless you mean as in DB normalisation.
It is for a specific airplane, not a generic trash can sitting by someone's desk. It has to be a specific size, shape, weight, fire resistance, and probably other factors I can't think of.
What about Toyota, Honda, Ford, Subaru, Mazda, Hyundai etc.?
Or - how any provider even self hosted, other than GitHub can provide any of that without automated processing of the contents of private repositories?

Part of the problem here is that the mechanism designed to protect tax-payers (the incredibly complex framework around government procurement) shield players from competition (Aka, the same effect as healthcare market in the USA.

This is why modern USA subs use Xbox controllers for joysticks. You can walk out and expense them.
