Re: Apple Pay acceptance, some of the big chains took the chance to push hard for their own payment solutions ("Walmart Pay") in the hopes of not having to pay card processing fees anymore. Obviously the market has spoken and one by one they've been giving up.
it sounds like the thing you are looking for are slots and they are supported in shadow DOM with the HTMLSlotElement
Shocking, the metric becomes the goal. It’s like working at Meta.
I don't post links to my health site on HN, but it can be found and you can search HN for pertinent comments by me.
Because it my mind at least, it’s not “the Mail app the product” but “the Mail app the activity”. It’s where you’d go to deal with email stuff (same applies to Calendar, Notes etc). I also use a different email client which comes with its own settings and that’s perfect, but to configure aspects of macOS I would first check the system provided app.
> Does personally targeted advertising even add that much value over contextual advertising?

In theory it makes it cheaper for the advertiser as they can target individuals on cheaper sites.

In practice what it’s done is absolutely decimate quality publishers and lead everyone into clickbait.

> The shadow DOM can inherit styles if you specify the styles that you want to inherit.

Ah yes, I've heard about this "mixing CSS into your HTML".

The entire point of CSS is that you can write selectors that can affect anything, import it in the header, and you're done. If you're telling me I have to import a new CSS file (or repeat myself and import the same CSS file) inside of every custom element I create, obviously I thought of that. I'm telling you that's a terrible, awful idea, because it breaks the fundamental way CSS is supposed to work.

Consider: if I'm distributing a library of web components, which of my users' CSS files that I know nothing about do I include? Did you read the example I already gave? The solution you're offering doesn't solve the problem I've described.

> Additionally, web components work just fine without the shadow DOM, it's optional,

You should read the post you're responding to in order to find out why that also causes problems.

> but for a great many custom elements you don't want them inheriting all the styles, because that can break the custom element.

...just like all of the rest of CSS. We have strategies for dealing with that. The only strategy you've suggested for doing the opposite is a completely useless non-solution.

> I don't remember specifics but terminal use felt odd on macOS to me. I do Terminal no problem from Linux, but maybe it was the file structure or command syntax on macOS that felt different.

That'll be the GNU coreutils vs macOS's BSD userland. You'd likely have a similar frustration if you were to use FreeBSD. You can replace these with coreutils from Homebrew or MacPorts on the Mac. Also, the file system layout is different, again, much like the BSDs vs Linux/GNU. Even Linux distros vary slightly.
It will only approach zero because you lose more than you gain.

If the loser got 0.6666c instead of 0.6c, and the winner got $1.50, then over time you'd break even, on average.

And yet the expected return would apparently be 1.08333. If think the conclusion is that 'expected return' is a fallacy, you just can't add proabability-outcomes in this way to get an 'expected outcome'.

I really like this! I’ve thought about making something similar but never got around to it. This is well done and the STT-TTS works great!

My foremost wish would be for my tutor to point out and explain my grammar mistakes. I can hold a conversation in German but still make grammar mistakes. The LLM corrects them when transcribing and it would be really nice for it to underline the mistakes with the ability to explain them. Maybe have a second LLM running with a different system prompt?

Lee Kwan Yew himself said that capital punishment for drug trafficking is necessary to keep his country clean, and I'll take his word over yours, or some agenda-driven soft-science academic working on studies who's never been around criminals.

Don't @ me with "appeal to authority", I admit it gladly. I don't worship at the altar of scientism (EDIT: scientism doesn't seem to be the correct word, it's not negative like I thought. I'm criticizing the "I Hecking Love Science (TM)" mentality that treat crappy non-reproducible soft-science studies as something that somehow has more value than common sense.)

I have my TI 89 in my office by rarely use it.

I wear a Casio calculator watch as my daily driver because i like the style and actually use the calculator function more often than you'd expect.

I also have and learned to use a nice Japanese desk abacus, because it was fun. And finally I own a giant novelty calculator for those big calculations. Again, I never use them.
That's more of a "I'm forced to use this thing against my will because I'm locked in" situation rather than "I want to use this thing".
> You'd have to watch with a MutationObserver and then propagate the change to every instance of a custom element on the page.

This solution works in that you can create a mixin that does this and use it in your custom elements. But if you profile it I think you'll discover it's painfully slow. It's not noticeable if you're using a few custom elements here and there, but if you're, for example, making a table of custom elements, the page will load slowly.
I'm pretty sure I had this exact conversation five years ago, and believe I will be having it five years from now.
Amazing!

Thanks for sharing!

Just a tip - I forget where I saw it, but at some point in reading over research I saw that using 'Q' and 'A' results in lower accuracy than 'Question' and 'Answer.'

Which probably fits the latter biasing more towards academic sample test kind of situations as opposed to the former.

As an aside, PBX hijacking was how certain Fido BBS operators in the early 90s Hungary got their feed from abroad: a friendly installer left an extension in the PBX of the largest consumer bank which gave you a dial tone so very expensive calls abroad were billed to the bank. This went on for a few years.
> I'd see the ban on firearms and control at the frontiers as the #1 reason there's so few violent crimes.

However we have countries like Switzerland were firearms are widely accessible (IIRC according to estimates more than half of the gun in the country are not even registered since they did not require that before joining Schengen) and there there is basically no frontier if you’re traveling on land.

And yet the murder rate in Switzerland is not that mich higher than in Japan.
"Meta has no real interesting in delivering anything other than a product they can ship to millions of people on day 1 at a low price point"

Wow, how naive can you be?

Because Meta's forte is ads. The hardware is just the gateway to their ecosystem where they don't have to pay Apple/Google for access to users.

Companies' engineering blogs are just carefully curated marketing pieces with highly distilled technical info. It's still marketing and some people eat it up.
If this was easy it would have happened a long time ago.
We are in the fog of war phase state of this discovery process so there are data points in every direction with the kpop X-itter drama and sensationalism thrown in to the spin for good measure.

"Some eggs make give you salmonella, therefore eggs shouldn't exist"

I'm sure you don't mean your absolute statement, otherwise I need your address to build my coal powerplant next to.
The numbers for the standard upgrade were from a quick search on amazon (2TB NVME = £100, 32gb DDR4 = £50), and for the MacBook was just the cheapest I could find for the closest specs (£3,500 would actually only get me 1TB storage, that's just the most apple has for a laptop it seems).

1TB would be the minimum for me, especially spending that kind of money. Also I doubt I'd get £700 for my MBA, seeing as that's how much I brought it for (refurbished from Apple). When I was buying it originally, the prices on eBay were more along the lines of £600. Even still, I don't factor in the money I'd get back from selling my previous machine
I think it's slightly better than the hairy egg one.
I use Thunderbird since 2003. So you expect me, someone who never has used another program, to know I have to start Mail in order to change the default to Thunderbird.

That doesn't make any sense. If it is a setting that influences the system it should be a system setting not in some different program I might or might not use.

I am addressing a 'how is this ad hom' question not Friedman's character or the article. I seek to explain what view of him would be a critique of character not substance.
I heard about web components a lot for years and was looking forward for an opportunity to try them. But for some reason, this is the first time I learn that it's completely reliant on JS.

My impression previously was that it brings more power back to native HTML, and lets you extends HTML elements by defining your own modular custom components instead of doing so in JS the `modern` way. Instead, turns out it's doubling down on JS to create elements, and was actually targeted towards these framework in the first place.
Even those companies will not need the censored variant released by Meta. They will be better off running their own fine tunes.
Because cells, not just cancer, will find new ways to get around pathway blocks. Also, it's predecessor, AOH1160, didn't work:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29967249/

https://news.ucr.edu/articles/2019/10/02/research-focus-smal...

This is a single pathway block, systemic chemotherapy, but it does sound interesting. It binds to the PCNA region, and blocks it from assisting in repairing damaged DNA and keeps cells from replicating.

Chemotherapy does a good job, too, of stopping cell replication through a variety of methods. Yet cancer cells mutate and sometimes find away around it (called platinum resistance).

The beauty of AOH1996, is that it metabolizes well and seems (in animals, human clinical trials underway) to have low side effects. Seems to work in dogs? We'll have to see how humans cope with this.

> EDIT: Somewhat hilarious I'm getting downvoted for an opinion. Groupthink HN truly the pinnacle of individualistic moral superiority.

1. You're probably being downvoted for saying people are "foam mouthed progressives" (and other such pejoratives) more than anything.

2. People often don't vote the way you would like. That is the nature of voting. You learn to live with it or you drive yourself crazy. (You'll probably be surprised how much your score goes up if you forego the inside insults though.)

3. There are plenty of people here who agree with you, but they aren't going to upvote, vouch your comments, or support your argument if you buck the norms of the community by being insulting. The community only survives by discouraging behavior like that.

For instance, I flagged a comment on this thread which was an insult to you personally, even though that person and I were aligned on this issue.
I've lived in Japan for so long now that paying at restaurants in other countries where it's done at the table seems so awkward.

In Japan, you don't pay at the table, you get up when leaving and pay at the exit. If you're at a high-end establishment entertaining guests, this also leaves you the opportunity to "go to the restroom" late in the dinner and pay ahead of time so that the "mess" of payments is completely forgotten.

It also means waiters don't need to run around the place with cards/readers/cash, you don't need to fumble when you left your wallet in your coat that's been hung up, don't need to squint to read receipts in the dim mood lighting in the eating area, etc etc.
It's not just the tracking concern. The disruption to traditional media economics is socially toxic.

In the Before Times of 1993, if you're in situation #1, you call the advertisement department of the local newspaper, who is in situation #2. You pay them $250, the newspaper keeps basically all of it, and you get a quarter-page ad in the Sports section. You can go and open the paper and see the ad, and know roughly that most of the people in town read the local paper. You can also feel good that the money you spent is largely being used to support a local institution that has strong community value.

Now, you go to Google/Meta/etc and set up a campaign. You pay for $250 worth of service. If you're lucky, you get some dashboards to get a vague idea where the impressions occurred. A collection of disparate webmasters get a grand total of $30 in CPM or CPC fees. Brin and Zuckerberg buy some new yachts.

So advertisers aren't actually saving much, but we've dismantled the old media economy.

* We're slicing same ad dollar across more and more publishers. It's cute that you can make $12 per month with AdWords on your blog, but it contributes to the death-by-a-thousand-cuts of local TV/radio/newspapers. When everyone is working on a $12-per-moonth revenue feed, all you're going to get is listicles and clickbait, or stuff designed specifically to game ad metrics (see: the 29-page slideshow article)

* Visibility is terrible but in exciting new ways. The 1993 question was how "many people actually saw your ad in the Sports section?" The 2023 version is "how many of those 'people' are bots, how many of the clicks came from incentivized questionable activity, how many of these ads appeared on sites that would actually contaminate my brand?"

* The middlemen have consumed a lot of margin. The fact that newsrooms are closing and media is getting more paywalled by the day suggests that the digital ad space have failed to deliver the same revenue that traditional platforms did.

It's possible to do without a lot of this-- direct placement for example would pretty much work as well today as it did in 1993-- but it would require a lot of data to convince people that the big AdTechs' yottabytes of profiling don't justify the price they're charging.
> I've been using Asahi based on Arch [...] and should mention that the experience has been stellar overall.

Why do you plan to change if the experience has been stellar? You mention issues, what kind did you encounter?

I'm sorry if this feels rude, but I read your comment as a praise to Arch and then took an 180° turn to "I will switch to fedora ASAP".

That makes sense. I agree, it's more universal and elegant than just solving a problem.
Yep, Numworks is really great. Love the updates
My bank and job will both send me paper in the mail instead of this horse shit. It's still an option and it looks increasingly like a good one.

I don't think you can. Faced with the hopelessness of this unjust world, heroin addicts just want to crawl back into the womb. Meth addicts want to fix the whole world. Neither of those are achievable but getting off heroin is achievable, getting off meth is achievable.

My solution is a little more analog. If the number isn't in my phone, I don't answer it. If you don't leave a message, I will never follow it up.
Yes! I have this one on my desk and use it very often:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07L68RQCX/ref=pe_27063361_48562...

It is cheap, never needs batteries, and I find it much easier to use than my computer or my phone.
I didn't fully understand it either, but my take is this:

1. Twilio (or someone else) sends a text message for OTP.

2. This message needs to pass through my carrier (MNO, in the article) for delivery, and my carrier charges Twilio and/or their carrier, for the service. This is the revenue mentioned.

3. I have an agreement with my carrier, or simply form my own, that we split revenue.

I suspect that account is just a troll who knows a bit about material science. They spend more time arguing and promoting the Soviet Union than sciencing. I gathered that after just 5 minutes of scrolling through their twitter. I suspect a retired and bored Soviet scientist maybe?
to send a message (or call) to a phone number the sender of the message has to pay the company that owns the recipient number a fee. the fee varies. in the u. s. it’s very small. less than a penny. in some undeveloped countries it’s much higher. most fraud like this occurs in those countries with higher fees

let’s say i make friends with a mobile network operator in a country with high fees. i tell that mobile network i can send a lot of traffic to your network and generate you revenue in message passing fees. but i need to get a share of the money. the mobile network operator understands my methods are not legit and will not block the traffic / apply normal spam / anti fraud protections. we both make money at the expense of the message sender
Sorry, I just don't understand the complaint, if you don't like audiable, then don't do business with them? You can sell your book yourself directly.

> If investors decided tomorrow that they like pot, Singapore will go ahead and legalize it.

Sale of chewing/bubble gum is still banned - possession isn’t a problem though.

Frankly, if pot was so profitable that the gov want a slice of it, they would carve out special areas just for it and restrict access by locals to those areas.

That’s kind of what they did with gambling. There is a legal casino but as a local you have to pay a $150 daily entry fee to enter the casino - although I heard there is also a $2000 annual entry fee.* You have lost money before you even start gambling. LOL

* And if they feel there are too many problem gamblers still, they will probably rise the fee further.
Lol, that was made illegal a long time ago in the US as well. In fact since I was a kid and I'm 43 now.
..with large fines. If Meta is found to be using user data for behavioral targeting even after a user opt-out, the EU and even CA should be on it.
Interesting! I’ve been using Swup for the past three years in my core Wordpress theme, and am quite happy with it. It takes some getting used to (like with how third party scripts will take some special care, since a JS page replace doesn’t always trigger script load events), but once you know the basics, it’s a powerful and neat tool to speed up a website that has a CMS.

The one thing I’m looking forward to in v4 is more advanced hooks, so I can do “fade into eachother” animations. Right now content is replaced in the same container, but it would be real cool if we could have the from and to page exist together during the transition.
