We had a delayed flight (24 hours) from Frankfurt to Christchurch, New Zealand. As the compensation is a sliding scale of time and distance we were the maximum.

It did take about 4 months to get the money, but, Singapore air were very good (well, they didn't deny anything at least).

Hurrah for European legislation, and hurrah for Frankfurt airport not letting take offs after 11pm so that even if they could have fixed the fault in time it would have been too late :)
I think those really are separate concerns that should both be given more attention.

There's a strong correlation between GDP growth and oil use, that's a huge problem and one that likely can't be solved without fundamentally revisiting modern economic models.

AI poses it's own concerns though, everything from the alignment problem to the challenge of even having to define what consciousness even is. AI development won't inherently make allocating natural resources easier - with the wrong incentive model and lack of safety rails AI could find its own solution to preserving natural resources that may not work out so well for us humans.
If it becomes widely accessible via the web, I may consider it.

It is unfortunate that they decided to require a custom client at launch.
>Most people are just trying to survive with the options they're offered.

I disagree with this. While this group certainly exists, there's a far larger segment of people that have a variable cost-return analysis eschewing towards rock bottom that inevitably lends itself to buying shittier products.

In other words, a lot of people are cheapskates.

You can make a stellar game app but even charging one flat $5 fee will absolutely tank your downloads because people would rather play hundreds of ad-ridden shitty lootbox gambling games for free. And what's worse, they'll even try to pirate your game for the fuck of it too.

It plagues food shelves with increasingly worse results. People don't give a shit about cage free, roaming organically grass fed whatever eggs. Sure, some do, but not most. Oh, Carton B costs 20 cents less than Carton A? Bingo. I just saved 20 cents. The eggs taste practically the same (they don't). But it gets them 90% there, and that's a compromise most people are fine with because they saved money. This trickles up to the producers, who obviously emphasize Carton A production now. Let it go on for long enough, with a little bit of poor government oversight, and you can even sell Carton A eggs as Carton B, and reap more from the suckers who think they're getting a better product. It's greed all the way around, and people fuck themselves constantly because of it. It's why we have laws and building codes and health and safety regulations. Society functions on setting the minimum bar for everything, because otherwise we devolve into chaos. And people constantly love to fucking limbo.
I've found that contacting regulating bodies/government agencies is often the best way to get a resolution when a company is shady. They will rollover easily once they get a call from the government telling them they are in the wrong. In Canada my phone company raised my phone plans prices randomly. Companies are typically required in law to give proper warning to the customer of such changes. Their "warning" was a single month of notice, and they put it on a tiny section on page 7 or 8 of the phone bill. The bills are digital and I have it set to autopay the same amount every month. So of course no reason to read an 8-9 page bill every month.

They had my email on file, as well as my phone number. They send promo message offers all the time to my email and phone number yet used none of those avenues to inform me the price would be increasing.

Who knows if their fine print method of increasing prices is legal or not, but I contacted the relevant agency in Ontario, Canada and they contacted me a week after the ticket for details. They indicated it doesn't sound like I was properly informed and they would reach out to the phone company. Soon after I get a call from the phone company. They set my bill back to the previous rate plus applied a $10 discount per month for a year.

Great for me, but ultimately I still hate it. Because they know it's wrong to do, but they do it anyway because there isn't much competition. They know most people just won't say anything and will suck up the extra cost or not even notice for awhile. Even if it's $5 a company wrongly took from me I will go out of my way to get it back. Because if everyone lets them get away with it then they will keep doing it.

People who just skim the headline and article will come away convinced that dropping to assembly is the “way to go fast” even if they never actually do it.
'Unified memory' access on M1 is allegedly almost as fast as CPU cache, and I believe the SSDs are extremely close to the SoC as well. Swap might be faster than some computers' actual RAM.

Okay, name the "provably secure designs" that were actually proven and validated by a competent security standard such as the Orange Book Level A or Common Criteria EAL 6/7 that turned out to be insecure in practice.

Most people who say that point to designs that were never proven and never validated against anything meaningful, but I am open to seeing a actual example.
This is a trap I am trying to get out of the habit of falling into. It's hard for me to say I don't know. This article reminded me that humility is recognizing when you are out of your depth—not weakness. With so many things to "know", it's critical to know the difference between the consequential and the trivial. What's really scary to me is when the actual experts aren't acting in good faith.
It has the same rules as Instagram, so that isn't a surprise. Such content can always be somewhere else on the Fediverse, and Threads itself will start supporting it soon.

Ah.. you'd have to handle dealer and fleet plates, then. Or, just ignore them, mostly defeating the purpose of that. The kinds of people who play games with plates tend to be the kinds of people who get pulled over for simple violations anyways.
It may matter on academic considerations, people can discuss it, but it doesn't matter on global regulation layer whereby fairness is determined via collective consensus and for forseeable future, per capita is what everyone can live with. Your last point is signficiant because the rhetoric of total emissions isn't going to fly especially if the numbers make west look worse. In context of OPs post, trying to unilaterally frame climate debate around total emission in US and somehow turn that into geopolitcal leverage is not realistic especially if closer interogation of metric is against most major players interests. I don't think it's splitting hairs rather than acknowleding geopolitical constraints over what's workable and what's not, even if what's workable is suboptimal.
So.. if you combine Zink and MoltenVK can you get modern OpenGL on Mac? Would be funny.
ChatGPT Plus Code Interpreter Beta Active
Code Interpreter is currently available for Plus users. (Enable beta in settings.)

It lets ChatGPT run code, optionally with access to files you've uploaded. You can ask ChatGPT to analyze data, create charts, edit files, perform math, etc.

Here's how it works:

1. You upload Python code that you'd like to execute.

2. ChatGPT sends the code to a Python interpreter.

3. The Python interpreter executes the code and returns the results.

4. ChatGPT present the results to you.

This setup is like a stateful Jupyter notebook environment, allowing for the running of individual code cells. The environment has access to a variety of Python libraries, so you can use it for many different tasks, such as data analysis with pandas, scientific computations with numpy, or plotting with matplotlib.

There are a few restrictions to keep in mind:

* The Python environment does not have internet access, so it can't make network requests. This means you can't install additional Python packages, use APIs, or scrape websites.

* There is a timeout of 120 seconds for each code execution. If your code takes longer than that to run, it will be stopped.

* The Python interpreter has limited memory and CPU resources, so it may not be able to handle very large computations or data sets.

Show HN: hakk -- a REPL for developing Node.js programs on the fly
hakk is a new REPL-based tool for developing Node.js programs. hakk runs your .js source files, and updates your program as it runs whenever you make a change. Unlike the built-in node repl, hakk lets you re-define consts, functions, and class members while your code is running. It works with any code editor.

I would love to get feedback. Do you find this tool useful? What improvements would you like to see?
I think a better (but harder to obtain) metric would be activity. Given that people use their Instagram account, the user account isn't too relevant since you don't really need to sign up.
By the time the music stops, they’ll have grown too big to fail, and it’ll also likely be a sector-wide downturn, so they’ll just get another bailout from Uncle Sam. Moral hazard is endemic in Sillycon Valley.
This site is my permanent status in MS Teams... and I ignore any time someone doesn't pay attention to it.
I think it's a bit more complicated than not knowing anything about security. It's more that security spans most other disciplines and security companies tend to focus on a subsection. In order to understand if a technology fits your use case and is effective often leads to long PoCs or trusting analyst, costing you time and/or money. Fun fact, most analyst firms like Gartner rarely touch a product and rely on the vendors to answer questions and send demos. It's very much a market for lemons because it's hard to actually test vendors' claims without a significant investment.
It could be even worse — you could have a “good morning, sunshine”er among you. Yes, just that, followed by three or four minutes of a few crawling ellipses, on and off. Then, at last: “Got a minute?”

Dude, I have an uncle killing himself with booze living 100 feet away from me. These things have costs. But trying to make decisions for people doesn't work out, and taking away one of the few things that helps people connect in person is also a dumb idea.
The only thing I agree with here is that Prettier should remove the /> on tags that don't self-close, i.e. it should turn <div/> into <div>. Other than that, the use of self-closing tags is a cross between an aesthetic and a reminder of which tags self-close. I work with HTML pretty rarely, so while I can remember that <br> is self-closing, I don't necessarily remember what other tags work the same way, and the inclusion of /> in HTML I'm reading is a good reminder that it's self-closing.
No, profit is just and economically rational compensation to the investor. Without it, the opportunity cost and risk of saving and investing, respectively, is not compensated for.
Probably just there for legal reasons. They do mention their compensation on the site however.

> If successful, we transfer your money to you immediately. If the airline refunds your ticket within 7 days, our service is free of charge. After that, you only pay if we are successful (commission 14-28% plus VAT). For compensation claims, the commission is usually 20-30 % (plus VAT).
Needs to be the other way around IMO. Everyone has standardized on ActivityPub, and Bluesky should follow suit.
If I make my money producing autovivisection content, why can’t I show it to all people at all times? It’s just work, why discriminate? It’s almost as though people have, enforce, and codify mores and taboos.

ALPRs tell you where a plate is. It doesn't tell you who owns the plate. You'd have to know that already. I'm not sure just having the database grants you the ability to stalk, other than at completely random strangers. If you can stalk someone to the point of getting their plate, you can just stick an airtag on their car.
Random question... whatever happened to that visual friend/network graph that used to load on a separate window? I always thought that thing was pretty neat to see
FWIW, Waymo benchmarks their safety against a model of an always attentive driver, so they claim they're not just safer than an average driver, but safer than a very good driver. They mentioned this in their blog post today.
The fact they exclude themselves is the ultimate show of bad faith.
Is there a reliable, not too biased source/website to read about what airlines are best to take for what routes?

For example, I’ve flown BA and AA to LHR direct & it was an awful flight (tiny seats & super uncomfortable) & would’ve paid more $$$ for a better airline but I couldn’t find a reliable website to help me understand who generally has better seats (pitch, width, etc) and all that.

I’ve resorted to my own spreadsheets for flights (I know…) where I put the different info down & then compare prices. It’s not awful but damn, it’s a bit time consuming.

For context, I’m not an overweight individual I’m just willing to pay extra to not be crammed into a tiny seat with no pitch for 12+ hours.
This is a terrible excuse that I see trotted out far to often to justify going to developing countries and barely even paying workers that country's minimum wage. You absolutely can pay considerably more than minimum wage without disrupting the local economy. They're paying people as low as $1.32 per hour for an absolutely horrible job. I'm not expecting them to pay western wages. But even bumping that up to $2.50 or $3 an hour would make an incredible difference to the local workers lives. The fact that they don't do that is exploitation, pure and simple.

Note that I feel I have quite deep understanding of this issue, and feel strongly about it, because I live and work in a developing country and I see this happening a lot. Westerners come over here and treat local workers like shit, pay them peanuts for 80 hour weeks while making loads of money themselves and then justify it because "it's the local norm". It's sickening, frankly. We westerners doing business in developing countries are in a position of privilege and should be leading by example, not jumping on the first excuse to dump a hundred years worth of the fight for workers rights.
Given the time and effort spent to get compensated, the amount should be significantly increased in the law.
Building Cooperative Embodied Agents Modularly with Large Language Models
Respectfully disagree about not starting new Ruby projects now - can we still be friends? It works and is easy to get started for simple stuff, same with PHP for some folks or Django etc.
Facebook reifying “friends” into a consumer product they own and control is for sure one of the more socially alienating and consumer controlling behavior one can expect a giant monopolistic company like this would do in the age of late stage capitalism.

It wasn’t the over controlling socialist government of Ingsoc in a one party state which managed to change our thought by makinging 2+2=5, but rather a social media company Bourgeoisie in a highly corporatocratic government which fulfilled this newspeak.
Re: cage match. no. no more oxygen for these two socially destructive menaces. let’s stop living in reality tv world.
As far as i remember it is up to 600 Euro.

I my case I recieved the max compensation because i got delayed a bit over an hour on the first leg of the flight due to problems in loading luggage, which made me miss the connecting flight overseas. Total delay was 10hours. Took them almost a year to pay me back (Lufthansa)
The Nordic countries went from being the fastest growing economies in the world pre-1960s, to laggard economies with stagnant growth rates, post 1960 after they adopted social democracy.
I think the "don't do this" examples are actually some of the least egregious examples of this problem.

I've got an infamous chat I here where a guy opened with "hey".. followed by a "how are you".. and like seven messages and 20 minutes later he gets to "we have a Sev1 incident, all systems down, can you look at it"?.

> It seems like iOS and macOS do more with less ram. Why is that?

AFAIK, Android caches things in terms of the JVM/ART using Zygote, but macOS and iOS are designed to run native code, so they cache the actual dynamic libraries themselves (it's called the "dyld shared cache"). Things like libc, some core frameworks and so on go in there.

Keep in mind this happens across the entire OS, since the Android user experience is implemented largely in terms of high level JVM/ART objects with all of their associated heap overhead, but iOS and macOS and their apps are mainly implemented in C/C++, Swift, Objective-C, which at most use reference counting, and only for objects that need to be reference counted. This is absolutely not the cause of all memory issues but this is sort of the base level foundational stuff of both platforms and has implications for the higher levels.

Even though Android is based on Linux and iOS/macOS are based on Unix and BSD, and those two/three platforms are quite similar conceptually, they have very different userlands.

This idea of getting historical data fused from multiple private sources, to be able to remember properly what happened, was at the core of Memacs[1], an Emacs (org-mode-based) data-fusion framework feeding into calendar.

Here's a diagram from the Memacs repo:

emails -> memacs-maildir.py \
firefox history -> memacs-firefox.py |
SMS -> memacs-sms.py |
RSS-feeds -> memacs_rss.py |
bank statements -> memacs-easybank.py |> Memacs
postings -> memacs-slrn.org |
git repository logs -> memacs_git.py |
svn repository logs -> memacs_svn.py /
|_________________| |_________________| |______|
your personal data Memacs modules Org mode

This relied on org-mode having a good date-links-to-calendar and agenda system.

See the whitepaper, called "What really happened on September 15th 2008? Getting The Most from Your Personal Information with Memacs"[2].

This project is now a little bit dead, but the concept of private data fusion was fantastic, and transformed my view of calendars.

Agree that calendars are a little underused in that way, and would love to see more work towards that private calendar data usage.

The problem I have is that the more sources you use to find correlation, the more likely you will find it. Even if they are individually quite unrelated.

When I was a kid, I was fascinated by night drives. When cars would simultaneously have their turn signals on, they would appear to drift in and out of synchronous time. When you have several cars, they would occasionally have several all blink at the same time.

I sometimes feel discouraged that this is what they are seeing when we measure the effects of gravity waves this way. All these blinking sources at very extremely different distances and speeds, however regular they are, will warp our perception of their timing in comparison to each other, just like the turn signals.

Hopefully I'm wrong, and this is an exciting discovery and technique for this purpose.
>shareholders who want to profit from extracting surplus value from their labor.

Profit is not surplus value from workers' labor. It is compensation for the value contributed by investment. Without profit, there is no investment, and without investment, there is no wage growth:

> I figure out that there is a lot of free "all that you can eat" pressure in the sea bottom.

Have you heard of the second law of thermodynamics?

There's also lots of all-you-can-eat heat in any piece of matter, eg sea water or rock. But that doesn't mean you can get at it for anything useful, without a heat differential (or a pressure differential).
Is it CRS-bound though? A storm is a storm, nobody is flying anywhere anyway.
On signaling != waste:

Of course signaling is not wasteful. Caplan, like any good economist, would readily agree (prices as signals is a cornerstone in microeconomic theory). Employers need a mechanism to identify who is worth hiring, which for entry level jobs is typically the college degree. The problem is that a college degree is an extraordinarily expensive signaling device to obtain, and in a population saturated with college degrees they become less meaningful, and those without degrees have no chance at competing even if they would be better suited for a particular job.

To me, The Case Against Education is a prompt to identify or create more efficient signals. In regular conversation it seems like most people agree that college is too expensive and really you're just in it for the "piece of paper" at the end, yet when you formalize the arguments folks get defensive and will pontificate on the intangible value of a liberal arts education.
