The problem with the moral panics is that people jump onto the bandwagon with zero evidence. Some are just paranoid and distrustful, others want to feed the panic.

I'm not asking that everyone think better, just that they think. Especially in a day where everyone has a camera and there are child snatching clowns all over the place -- just a little bit of skepticism goes a long way.

Questioning a wild claim out of nowhere isn't the same as thinking something isn't dangerous. It's thinking a claim has no basis.

Take the cinnamon challenge. Literally millions of people doing this. Then the claim comes up it is killing people. Yet these claims don't have any names or actual news articles that aren't in a circular reference. It may or may not injure you, but with millions or 10's of millions doing it, if people are dying there would be evidence of that.

All those Prius's with sudden acceleration -- and when everyone calmed down, the fix was floor mats and not cosmic rays. The real answer is that it was bad driving because all the brakes still worked perfectly well and if you press both the car stops. It was bizarre watching this play out after watching the same stupidity from the Audi 5000 in the 80's.
Didn’t we have the exact same discourse over bariatric surgery when that was invented? I recall stomach stapling was a huge fad in the obese places of the US, and many stories on the news about how the insurance companies were dragging the feet in covering the then relatively new weight loss method. I think people should eat less, so does the medical community, so why should pharma companies (or bariatric surgeons) have it their way? Shouldn’t medical ethics intervene?

The issue is there is a 1-5 rating system, but the system is actually binary. 5 stars means the ride was acceptable, everything else means the ride was unacceptable.

Which is a reasonable rating system, but presenting it as a 1-5 stars is confusing and dumb.
Yeah I've complained on here about that as well. I'm not sure what they think they're doing but that made me want to stay as far away from Edge as possible.

Java Bridge to Objective-C

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Co...

Relevant part from the introduction

"The original OpenStep system developed by NeXT Software contained a number of object-oriented frameworks written in the Objective-C language. Most developers who used these frameworks wrote their code in Objective-C.

In recent years, the number of developers writing Java code has increased dramatically. For the benefit of these programmers, Apple Computer has provided Java APIs for these frameworks: Foundation Kit, AppKit, WebObjects, and Enterprise Objects. They were made possible by using techniques described later in this document. You can use these same techniques to expose your own Objective-C frameworks to Java code."

I'm on the fence about these subsidies, because I worry it's a bit of a zero-sum game versus infrastructure. Wouldn't adding miles of protected bike lanes go further than tax breaks for these devices, and improve the situation for people who already have traditional bicycles as well?

If the infra isn't there for safe cycling as a form of transit, you end up subsidizing what become essentially toys which can only be used in places like greenways and parks which are designated for recreation. Whereas if you make the city safer for cycling first, these things could become a major component in a better / safer way to navigate the world.

Maybe the idea is that the new e-bike owners then turn around and demand (and are willing to fund) the fixes to make cities actually support these vehicles properly, but it seems like a bit of magical thinking to me.
Even if you turn out to be flat wrong, I still appreciate the level-headedness to consider how we got to this point and the urging we all slow down a bit before we all march on FedEx headquarters.
Not really, because sometime default settings are weird and I would also want a "Forget all associations".

Oh, definitely. I recently went to Japan and while I enjoyed the culture immensely, I can't help but notice a lot of people really aching for actual conversation. Something the Dutch generally aren't starved of with their direct and open (sometimes maybe blunt) attitude.
> But it's rare to mock someone for having a true intellectual journey: starting in one place, working hard, gathering more evidence, and arriving in another.

In fact, those people generally get more attention and praise than the people who have had the beliefs all along. Movements seem to generally be lead by born-agains. Every other media liberal has their conversion from a sheltered conservatism story, and conservatives constantly talk about how they were dumb liberals until they saw the world.

A lot of people are aggressively impervious to all reasoning or evidence until the opinions of people who they rely on for friendship or money change, then they suddenly change opinion without any new argument or evidence being introduced. That type of flocking behavior is what is seen as hypocrisy.

An easy way would be to calculate your speed ahead of time. If I’m going 55 mph (90 km/h), there’s a loud noise, and the phone gets jolted a bit, then it can check the distance it’s traveled for the next 3-4 seconds. If it’s clear that it’s not moving anymore, then it can begin alerting me; no response, it calls 911.

Apple currently checks your location periodically, so it can fulfill location-based reminder requests, so I honestly figured a similar tech was used for the crash detection. I’m pretty surprised that that’s not the case.
I would love to use this kind of thing with GitLab CI (and AzDO) at work!
Not a van, but i've been living in a boat, tethered to shore on a river, since 5 or 6 weeks. My FOSS contributions since then have lessened greatly but not entirely stopped.

I think as Android and iOS release these new automated emergency reporting features, it should not tie up the existing voice-based 911 system. Maybe it goes to a call center where humans can interpret what they're seeing first. Or maybe we have a standardized API by which these devices can report directly to 911. But tying up a voice operator talking to a computer seems like a real waste of resources. I'm assuming that's what's happening, maybe I'm completely wrong.
Yes, there is precedent for singular "they" which is one of the justifications for why it's a convenient hack for generically referring to an individual person. But I can assure you that had I done so in school growing up I would have been corrected and told to use he unless the individual in question was clearly a woman. (Or, presumably, had some female-associated role like a nurse.)

And where I work now, it's probably only been in our style guide for five years or so. Prior to that we'd have used some other workaround.

This is a hard engineering problem to solve. Garmin bike computers and fitness trackers have a similar incident detection feature which uses the accelerometer. It doesn't automatically call 911 but it will automatically text designated emergency contacts via a Bluetooth link to your smartphone if it thinks you crashed your bike or something. I have had a few false positives when making hard stops on rough surfaces. Fortunately I was able to cancel the alert before it sent a message.

It’s the sum of the individual digits, so 25 sums to 7, and your second one sums to way more than 25

As I said above, it's stuff like Cake, which is an advanced QoS scheduler that helps eliminate bufferbloat (very relevant for home networks). Additionally, eBPF and XDP will soon be integrated into standard firewalls, which should speed them up dramatically, allowing for crazy high speed (or power efficient) routing on commodity hardware.

One of my daydreams is for some entity to decide to spend a few billion dollars and five years making a new operating system that runs useful windows software about as well as windows 10 and uses existing windows drivers. I would not mind if running high end games was not a priority.

End users would benefit if Microsoft had more incentive to stop making their core product worse.

Huge software projects are high risk, even if you try hard to learn the lessons from failed big software projects. I think this would be a better investment than Softbank spending $300 millon on a 45% share of a dog walking website.
Still inexcusable. They're wasting power users' time by making them have to search for a way to change this unexpected and undesirable setting. I'm glad that the first time Edge hijacked my Outlook link I saw a popup message that allowed me to change the setting to use the default browser. But I could have easily missed it and it would have wasted my time.
Doesn't that just make it even more embarrassing that this is happening then? No Carplay connection, mostly stationary on the GPS, gyroscope and accelerometer not showing anything near the signs of a crash. But, "it's loud" so let's call 911.
this is kind a bad take. like other comments say, genuine intellectual journey is great on most every topic. yet I'm not going to give points, much less MORE points, to someone who use to be a bigot, conspiracy theorist, or any other similar flavor of belief
> If I have $25m in 100 accounts at one bank, it's unconditionally insured.

Insurance is by ownership group, not by account.
Another problem I see is people who change their mind, and then pretend that's always been their position, just completely ignoring previous publications showing their positions have changed. They point to weasel words or emphasize some trivial nuances to pretend like it's not a contradiction, or worse, just simply ignore the evidence that they've switched their position.

Unless the person has been going faster than 20mph at a turning radius of more than 30ft for more than a few seconds, it's unlikely to be a car accident. Whether the accuracy and sampling rate are always sufficient to distinguish these (or data could be cached with look back at high-g) I don't know.

That excludes most human only activities. Of course roller-coasters and various other rides could still trigger it.
That sure is some car crash when it just keeps shaking all night...

I think you need to add a lot more context to your question. (IE, edit your submission.)

As an American, who's been involved with both Silicon Valley and Boston startups, I find it rather absurd that anyone here would ever incorporate outside of the US. Likewise, I find it absurd that anyone running a startup outside of the US would ever incorporate in Delaware.

> "especially Indian startups"

Do you mean startups in India, or do you mean startups run by Indian immigrants inside of the US?

Maybe there's something that I don't know?

Either way, you're asking a specific question to a very wide audience. You need a lot more context if you want helpful answers and a coherent discussion.

So, if you're reading this, scroll up and push the "edit" button. Spend a minute or two adding some good context; don't assume that the wide Hacker News audience has any clue what you're talking about.

Show HN: Fclones-GUI – a fast duplicate file finder with GTK4 interface
Some time ago, as an exercise in writing parallel Rust, I created fclones [1] - a command line utility to find and remove duplicate files. It was fun to develop, and soon it became quite advanced. It's probably also one of the most efficient duplicate finders available - some users reported using it for cleaning terabytes of data.

But, being a CLI app, it probably doesn't offer the best possible user experience for those who want an easy to use program.

In particular, the typical workflow of finding duplicates and then picking some of them to remove is hard to execute smoothly in a batch-oriented program.

Hence, I thought a GUI would be a nice improvement. And here it is! An old-school desktop app. In GTK+. Some say I'm crazy to do this in 2023.

It doesn't offer all the functionality available in its CLI cousin yet, but it already does the job: it finds duplicates and can remove the selected ones. It also shares the majority of code with CLI fclones, so it is also quite fast.

This is obviously a very early version. Let me know if you like it and which features you'd like to see next.

> ...the cost of tracing with a SaaS vendor is also very small. Far smaller than the developer time needed to set up something else.

I'm mainly responding to this point regarding developer time outweighing the cost of just going with SaaS vendor that provides that capability. I don't think we disagree with each other though
It’s as simple as: The people you are asking for money from prefer Delaware C Corps

Why? Case law and legal infrastructure that reliably protects investors more than anywhere else for the best price.
For one, Singapore requires a resident director. AFAIK, Delaware has no such requirements. The cost difference might actually be meaningful for a bootstrapped Indian startup. Larger operations, especially ones with foreign investors use Singapore and Mauritius based holding companies all the time.

I agree with the sentiment but it seems to me that if someone presents a new, compelling argument against a belief you hold then shouldn’t you change your mind immediately? It seems to me that how fast one’s mind ought to change depends on the quality of the new information/ideas you are presented with.

Is that entirely recency bias, or also changing facts? Economies are very interconnected now. It's hard to imagine a scenario today where a global economic power enters a large recession, but there's some other economy out there that gets by relatively unscathed. And by that I specifically mean: providing a return differential large enough to justify the upside risk of investing there in the first place.

> * Most phone calls could have been an e-mail, with screenshots, facts, and numbers in it. On the phone, the caller has to read it out aloud, and I have to write it down. That is not efficient.

- You assume people know how to use e-mail and take screenshots

- People tend to assume phone calls cannot be forged (these kind of people haven't heard yet of LLMs) while e-mails can

- It's generally easier to call someone and tell them what's needed instead of spending time thinking ahead, write down the outcome (properly), send it and follow up the response

So, basically: people are lazy. It's human nature

I understand your defensiveness, but the article did not even imply that the CEO was directly implicated. That said, I think it is still at some level their responsibility if this fraud turns out to be true; “the person whose P&L was directly tied to these resales” still had ever stricter OKR’s they had to answer for, and apparently no double-checking or auditing was done because that person’s boss didn’t want to know. They were rewarded for numbers going up and to the right, as was their boss, as was their boss, up to the CEO.

Sorry, I just tire of narratives where when a corporation does something morally wrong, it’s the fault of nebulous capitalist hyper-optimization and no individuals are held accountable.

Delaware is relatively business friendly and has a huge amount of established historical precedent in its case law.

It’s important for companies, lawyers, investors, and executives to minimize unknowns in outcomes. They generally know how any normal—and many many atypical—legal disputes will end up.

This extends to tax and reporting requirements involved. There’s a well worn path from founding through IPO as a Delaware C Corp.

If you’re going to change from that, you certainly can, but the question is: why?
