Don't forget, expect the worse when you go alternative to Big Tech: Expect Big Tech to shadow-hire teams of hackers to destroy your public servers.

Namely, when going alternative to Big Tech, be sure you have real and solid "cybersecurity" teams in place. They will have to work with IAPs, datacenters, carrier transit providers, have excessive monitoring in place to detect intruders (almost military grade).

Those teams will have HUGE powers, they must be limited to securing the quality and availability of the service, NO MORE.

Life insurance companies already factor risk from family history without using a genetic database

They also take into account smoking. Playing devil's advocate if a car insurance company can charge you a higher premium because you are male why shouldn't a life insurance company use your genetic code?

Having lived and worked in Europe, I submitted yearly tax returns to various countries. The German payroll taxes were particularly troublesome to understand. And the countries had high sales taxes with VAT which causes more paperwork and encourages companies to vertically integrate.

> Is it that you just dislike it when other people exercise their rights? Is it that you don't bother to exercise those same rights yourself?

Do you think this works as well when you replace "exercise one's rights" with "bribe politicians"? Let's see:

"Is it that you just dislike it when other people bribe politicians? Is it that you don't bother to bribe politicians yourself?" Hmm, not as punchy.

Another way to put it is: "what's wrong with rich people having orders of magnitude more power than you? Is it that you don't bother to already be rich?"
There's a lot of discussion here about getting tested for the gene, but the gene isn't as important as you might think from the title. The article states that the gene is associated with "1.6-fold higher odds of developing long COVID". So it's just one factor among many.

My country has sanctioned Russia. I can't even sell a t-shirt if it's being delivered to Russia. I can't accept a credit card if the address terminates in Russia. It's not nothing personal, it's just the law.

I'm used to this. My country has sanctioned many people before: Cuba, North Korea, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, etc. Once the war is over... the sanctions will be removed.

Until then, I accept sanctions as a resonable alternative to actually going to war, and drafting 18-20 year olds to go die in a foreign land.
> The era of zero interest rates are probably over for good.

The ZIRP policies held for ~12 years probably created a lot of malinvestment due to kicking-the-can-down-the-road financing which will need to get cleared out in the next recession, when that recession hits, the Fed will slash rates again.

Nothing really fundamental has changed in the way the Fed operates, and it still has its 2% inflation target. They just increased rates at what was a pretty breakneck pace and are talking foldly of Volker. This isn't the post-WWII Fed that let inflation get up to 10% in the 70s. Most of the effects of inflation and rates were due to shocks caused by the pandemic, which are over now. I don't see why people think that inflation or rates have fundamentally changed.
The BoC seems to me to have now locked themselves onto a path of finally crushing the Canadian housing bubble. Which comes at an awkward time as Canada is suddenly increasing its population at a record pace. No matter how this plays out, it's not likely going to be a smooth ride.

Canada is a pretty small market. Google and Meta have come in and (perhaps unintentionally) destroyed the tiny Canadian news media sector.

I don't think it unreasonable that these companies, (largest on earth), pay a tiny fraction of a percentage of their Canadian revenue to help support that sector.

Without our own news media, we are particularly vulnerable to the toxic influence of American right wing media, billionaire funded astro-turf media and any other foreign entity that wishes to push their agenda.

> English has been designed over the course of fourteen centuries.

Wasn't English forked from several other intermediate forks (Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, etc.) going all the way back to Proto-Indo-European? I guess that since none of those carried the name "English" (or its original name "Anglish"), all those beta projects don't count in that timespan, otherwise, it has to be at least twice that age.

No it's not. A commodity would mean that people are indifferent to the music of Metallica vs Taylor Swift vs your brother in law's blues band.

They aren't. So it's not a commodity. Because that's what commodity means.

You could let your playlist run for years, but you don't and nobody else does either because repetition and familiarity and quality are things people care about musically.

Playing music well in a way that is liked by millions is an unbelievably valuable thing. Playing music badly is utterly worthless from an economic standpoint.
From Wikipedia:

> Pride is defined by Merriam-Webster as "reasonable self-esteem" or "confidence and satisfaction in oneself".[1] Oxford defines it as "the quality of having an excessively high opinion of oneself or one's own importance."[2] This may be related to one's own abilities or achievements, positive characteristics of friends or family, or one's country. Richard Taylor defined pride as "the justified love of oneself",[3] as opposed to false pride or narcissism. Similarly, St. Augustine defined it as "the love of one's own excellence",[4] and Meher Baba called it "the specific feeling through which egoism manifests."[5]

Seems to capture "both" aspects for the word to me.
Some differences that I've noticed:

1) fake/shell drop shipping companies dominate the ads with nonsense names and computer generated logos. An endless stream of low quality ads as opposed to real companies that used to advertise there.

2) Low effort facebook style posts have began to dominate any reply section, as users who typically had bad posts that saw no engagement, now pay to force people to look at their low effort/hateful/uneducated opinions. (still not gaining many followers but users are now forced to see it over higher quality users).

3) Bot issues are still very much there, every time I make a post with more than a dozen likes, I get 2-3 bot follows that are always a vaguely feminine name and a single post, following hundreds of accounts.

4) API cost increases have hurt positive bot accounts(ie OpossumEveryHour, various "every lot in x" accounts) while tons of crypto scam accounts, tshirt bots, etc have taken over.

5) The general changes to the checkmark system has destroyed the meaning behind the check, it used to serve to ensure accounts were not imposters. Now its simply every guy who watches self help entrepreneur videos has a check.

Just a handful of aspects of the overall degraded experience. Every day the site becomes more hateful and zenophobic, looking more and more like low effort boomer facebook groups every day. Regardless of opinion, the site used to be a place that you could get news from verified sources, follow public figures, and not be inundated literal Nazis. If you own a bar and a couple Nazis are made to feel welcome, you now have a Nazi bar.

Ask HN: Why SaaS products do not have a service account?
A "service account" is a privileged account that humans or other machines can access an application without using any monetizable features.

In SaaS, it is an admin user, or an account that runs integration jobs, etc.

When you are two founders and a dog--you do not care about service accounts, but when you are a team of 30, a dedicated user in IT or Finance needs access to onboard and offboard users.

Majority of the SaaS companies do not provide this feature--and it costs a paid user seat or two to perform routine admin tasks. Hurts in this economy to even have a single SaaS seat unused.

Why is this not done?

Isn't this simple to implement: A (set of) feature flag(s) that does not allow the user to do anything useful except add/delete users is all that's needed.
The studios have always had the leverage you are talking about - Barbie releases this July, but was written in 2021. The problem for studios is every minute of the strike represents lost revenue 1-2 years from now.

>Typically there has been a tight connection between new content and steady revenue.

This isn't really true either, as content is hit based business not too dissimilar from venture capital. Sure you can always play it safe by milking an established brand but you always need to be running experiments.

Thanks for the detailed reply, I've been reading about the tools, and tracking various forums discussing running local LLMs. ANE isn't required, just optional.

However the Apple M2 MAX GPU seems to do inference decently when using code targetting Metal (Apple's GPU API). Apparently inference on the llama 65B model with a M2 max happens at 5 tokens/sec. Not an amazing perf/$ for running inference at scale, but pretty interesting for a developer to tinker with. While the M2 Max with 96GB ram is slower than a 4090 it can run larger models and I'm not expecting to be particularly performance limited for home/local inference.

I talked to Anchor employees after the news about stopping the Christmas Ale and stopping sales outside of California. They told me the writing was on the wall that Anchor would be closed down and sold for scraps. They were adamant that the root issue here is Sapporo mismanagement, not anything about Anchor being an unviable business. Public Taps alone makes good money and I'm pretty sure they have owned their brewing building for a long time. They asked me to boycott Sapporo.

Of course, laid off workers are usually disgruntled at their ex-employers, but nonetheless it's an important angle to consider. The other comment about Sapporo's plans for that San Diego brewery seem to bolster this perspective.

I was surprised to find screensaver support still in Windows. And they still have a bunch of screensavers like "3D Text" which appears to still be using the same code from its first release in 1998.

They also seem to have isolated them onto their own desktop, meaning that if a screensaver crashes then the users desktop won't be shown. That broke the official 'Bubbles' screensaver in Windows 11 - and they clearly don't test that stuff, because they released it anyway, broken.
I mean...sure, you're right about the union, but that doesn't mean that there aren't people who write for TV, movies, ads, novels, fanfic...

...But creative writing in general doesn't tend to pay the bills on a regular basis without the exact types of residuals the studios are actively trying to take away from them. So they're already used to having to pick up side gigs or even have day jobs to make ends meet.

Doesn't the very concept of perspective imply an origin point of observation, making it impossible to have one universal perspective?
This is definitely true, and I think there are at least two points worth considering here.

- Part of what makes the mainstream OS terrible is the mere fact that it is mainstream. If Linux hit 60-70% adoption, a plague of terrible software, adware, malware, and more would start degrading its quality.

- Despite the points above, it would be really nice if some of the lousy things pointed out the in the graphic were deprecated.

You can't pretend moving to a monthly recurring revenue model thats still profitable is dumping, at least not honestly.

My point was that just releasing everything day one on xbox live cannot be a long term sustainable strategy as you're only making $15/month or whatever from that user, but it isn't dumping.
I wouldn't say so; I would rather say that the internet ad industry got more concentrated and centralized around Google and Facebook and that's why for example online news industry started rapidly losing their ad revenue and switched to subscription based business model.

Fatigue is a symptom of depression.

It is also a symptom of pneumonia.

I had COVID, back before it was fashionable (February, 2020). It took me 10 months to feel normal again (the acute symptoms lasted 2 weeks. I hadn’t been that sick in decades).

Fatigue figured prominently. While I was experiencing acute symptoms, getting up to go to the bathroom basically finished my day.

I thought I had pneumonia, and the really scary stuff stopped, just before I was going to go to hospital. Thank Cthulhu I didn’t go. They would have killed me, and I would have infected a lot of people (as it was, all my family and friends got it. Share, and share alike).
Popularity was the canned cope for why Windows 95 through XP were riddled with so much malware. But then Microsoft started taking security more seriously with Vista and onwards. The situation didn't turn into sunshine and roses, but it did improve dramatically. It turns out that popularity wasn't the problem, the problem was the insecure nature of the software. There is of course still a lot of room for improvement.

It's certainly not perfect, but it's a better experience than Twitter for many of us.

In that case, though it would be very extreme, the studios could theoretically announce that there are enough writers in the world that the WGA is no longer necessary - they'll just hire writers from Britain, France, Germany, wherever. They could also spin it as a good thing - greater diversity in film! And they can hire some cheap American non-WGA writers to Americanize the humor or references wherever needed.

That would, of course, break the WGA. The WGA's existence depends on major movie studios needing them. If the movie studios decide to adapt in a way that the WGA is unnecessary... they're dead, and no writer will stick with them, everyone will scab. The WGA would have to beg SAG-AFTRA and the DGA to strike on their behalf, but that would cause... lawsuits; lots of lawsuits; because is it legal for one union to strike to save another union?

The reason they jump from blog posts to twitter, or Facebook to insta or from insta to tiktok is there is a new feature available.

Mastadon does nothing new that the 99% think they need. In fact the main search results and discovery is a stream of total shit compared to other platforms.
