I think the key thing with OSM is that the data is open.

It would be nice if this app had more open code and it's nice if people contribute back to the data set too.

But the database is the open source artifact here, not the software - as long as they're respecting that then it feels ok, even if more would be desirable.
So, usually I associate super-shady things with hiding the fact that they're super-shady.

I'm thankful, but also genuinely curious, why they put this explicitly in their TOS.

It just kind of seems to be like the kind of person/org who would implement this shady stuff in the first place, would also actively hide that they're doing it.

Is there a legal reason that protects NightOwl by explicitly putting it in the TOS? E.g. does this prevent them from being sued for any of it, where they could have been successfully sued otherwise? Like it's technically do to all this shady stuff but only as long as it's in your TOS?
Oh, everything popular before Zoom sucked so bad. Getting on a call was incredibly complicated, getting someone else in a call even more so. I got deflated whenever I saw a WebEx mail.

There were alternatives... But Skype was getting worse by the day, moving from decentralized to MS servers for all calls, and support for everything besides MS and the official App was also non-existant.

Google Calls/Hangouts/Meet/? was mistrusted by all MS shops (and still is)

Teams was nowhere it is right now beginning of the pandemic, and required buying into the Ecosystem.

In fact, Zoom was a (!) low entry, mostly platform-independent solution that was easy to set up if you had nothing to start from. And joining a call was not asking much from customers, students, business partners, etc.

All the competitors learned a lot from Zoom and we take these things for granted now.

There were other solutions of course, but sometimes you're lucky, and ads help.

These aren't mutually exclusive.

We are talking about the people managing companies that tell us, the "regular folk", to recycle, to lower our electricity usage, to stop wasting water. The same companies responsible for the vast majority of the CO emissions, plastic production, water waste dumping.

Of course regular people are mad at the rich. They have every right to be.

Private jets are just the tip of the iceberg. They should not be a thing, and they are a symbol of how the super rich are above everyone else. I would compare it to hunting rhinos: it is likely that the very few people who could afford this aren't behind the extinction of white rhinos in Africa, but they still should not be allowed to do it.

I stumbled across it on HN sometime back.

Someone created an AI model to consume daily, thousands of news sources, scores the articles and lists what it's highest scored for the day.

---

Ironically, APNews use to work this way. They provide a "relevance score" for every news article they published/reported so that other outlets could use that score as a signal on what they should report on.

Problem is, all other news outlet are disparate for eyeballs, so everything becomes "breaking news" regardless of the news relevance score.

> Have you written a lot of things in Python?

I've been exposed to Python through work, but I was never a fan. Backwhen I was faced with learning Ruby or Python, I picked Ruby; just felt more ergonomic. I even prefer more recent versions of TypeScript to Python too. I never really felt productive in Python, since the language is very finnicky (I would say more so than JS).

Rust might be verbose in parts of the language (but I don't find it as verbose as C or C++), but you get a lot of goodies the the price of a bit of verbosity. So, I don't mind it

> And then there is air ambulance for remote area's or serious situations which need taking to a speciality hospital,

Both the UK and US have different requirements for remote areas.

In the supplementary data for the paper about the US, I previously referenced Table II. "Median and 90th percentile prehospital time intervals in minutes for ground transports". Table III is "Median and 90th percentile prehospital time intervals in minutes for air transports", giving an overall time of "20 (13-28)" minutes for median and "35" minutes for 90th percentile.

While I can't find a recent UK source, I did find https://www.jems.com/equipment-gear/response-times-myths44-m... :

> A national standard (including both urban and rural areas) was established in 2001. The most critical emergency calls, referred to as “Category A” calls, have a response time requirement of eight minutes and zero seconds, with a 75% compliance requirement, and the additional stipulation that 95% of these calls must be reached within 14 minutes in urban areas and 19 minutes in rural areas.

I don't know what the current requirements are, and I don't know what the current times are - my point was only to show that those have different requirements.

In any case, where there are fewer people there's also (outside of tourist areas like Snowdon) proportionally less need for emergency services. I doubt the UK has ever had to send an air ambulance to Rockall, though certainly HM Coastguard have needed to rescue someone from there.

I don't know what you refer to with "secret service vehicles", much less how it's relevant.

I don’t think you should be telling others to “get a grip,” because their experience differs from your own, but here we are. Perhaps don’t make such obnoxious assumptions if you don’t want to be treated that way in kind.

I’m also skeptical of the extent of your actual experience if you think this behavior is “out of line” in American society. It was quite routine in mine. The first time I saw someone throw food at the head of a cashier I was shocked, but quite quickly became inured.

Show HN: LiveNearFriends
Reposting with permission from the builders because I love this product:

Introducing LiveNearFriends (livenearfriends.com): A platform designed to help you live within a 5-minute walk from your close friends or family.

While most real estate platforms focus on physical amenities, we prioritize social connection. Research shows living near friends boosts happiness by up to 50%.

How It Works:

Alerts: Be the first to know when a home is available within 5 minutes of your friends. Customize the alerts to your liking.
Conversations: Express the desire to live near someone in a fun, no-pressure manner.
Two Scenarios:

Scenario #1 - Friends Move Near You: Create a "LiveNearMe Link" with your address. Friends can then get alerts for custom listings around your location.
Scenario #2 - You Move Near Friends: Enter your friends' addresses and receive customized listings within a 5-minute walk from them.
Why 5 minutes? It's the sweet spot for frictionless social interactions. And research indicates happiness benefits diminish after 1/2 a mile. For less dense areas, we extend the radius to 10 minutes.

Personal Experience: Over the past 4 years, a dozen friends moved near me in the Bay Area. We've formed a tight-knit community, sharing life's little moments and joys.

Closing Thought: Choose to live near strangers or friends. The difference? Your happiness.

Feedback? Reach out at phil@livenearfriends.com.
He's referring to the difference in wealth between East and West Germany which is arguably the cause of many political and social issues in Germany. The influx of money into the region could reduce the disparity.

My guess is that you are referring to the difference in wealth between India and Germany. I'm not sure that the pearl clutching was helpful. It would have been better to clarify your assumptions or If indeed you were talking about Germany internal issues then clarify how labor trafficking is a factor here. We'll all be better for it.

Just curious, what about "PCBA" services i.e. those places that make the PCBs but also mount / solder components for you?

Is it generally possible to give them a BOM and ask to populate a whole board (i.e. order and receive a completed board, without having to solder everything)? Or are there necessarily going to be parts -- like the Cypress or Lattice chips here -- that the PCBA vendor will probably not have access to?

I'm just imagining a middle point between "here's a BOM" and "here's a finished product you can order" (with all of the regulatory issues that you're describing).

Could there be a "click here to have it created & soldered for you, but for this to still be a DIY thing" i.e. one click order-a-finished-board?
If you think about running your own bank, guess what, the entire business model is inherently fragile. The payment services banks offer do not pay for themselves. People expect bank accounts with zero fees. This means that the payment infrastructure has to be cross subsidized from something unrelated to the payment infrastructure and that in turn means that the availability of the payment infrastructure is dependent on the actual cash cow of the bank.

Lending to borrowers and diverting interest means your payment infrastructure is now tied to the creditworthiness of debtors. Even worse, what if the margins are so thin the bank does investment banking instead? Now your payment infrastructure is tied to the erratic stock market!

The obvious solution is to stop the cross subsidy and start demanding that people pay for payment services separately. This doesn't guarantee proper and competent management. It merely makes it possible in the first place. Of course the problem is that various consumer protection agencies lobby for legislation that appears on its face to protect consumers but only by making the entire system less stable.

Increasingly more sites are getting stuck in a Cloudflare verification loop on my end. I use Firefox on the beta channel, and I do have a few privacy extensions and a heavily modified user.js. If you want to give in to the browser fingerprinting, I have found that enabling WebGL, enabling performance timing (wow), setting network.http.referer.XOriginTrimmingPolicy to 0, among other tweaks, helps me break out of the verification loop.

In other words, if Cloudflare can't reliably fingerprint your browser, you are treated as a "bot" and denied access to a huge chunk of the web. Well, in that case, I would rather be a bot than a human. Being a human seems to be increasingly annoying nowadays :)

When I ask "What is the parity of times p is negated in the following formula, paying close attention to avoiding off-by-one errors:
∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ p?" 10 times each in new ChatGPT4 sessions I get:

1 "24", 1 "25", 5 "26"s, and 3 "27"s. ChatGPT names the conversations "odd parity of negations" or "even parity of negations" respectively, so the context is pretty clear. There are a variety of textual responses surrounding the answer, which I elide. I tried to give GPT4 as much help toward strategies that wouldn't rely entirely on counting, and instead focus on the heart of the problem; getting the parity right.

Every study/paper of this type really needs to report the answer distribution over at least 10 exact repeats of the prompt to account for the nondeterministic generation.

Well, thats not surprising but at same time not default for most people. Universities have been leaning left since at least 60's and 70's . If all the people who attended university remained influenced by those ideas over the years. Most of the people with higher income and influential positions in society would be overwhelmingly left but that has not happened. It just shows a lot of people become conservative after leaving colleges.

At least with the more common modern ML (LLMs etc) operations, no one drops down to Rust. It's really only good for IO/CPU work, but that's rarely a spot for new operations, just for data loading and high-latency network stuff.

People typically use Triton or CUDA (usually the C++ flavor) to implement operations. It'd be cool if Rust had a CUDA dialect.

I'm not trying to suggest that Apple's ARM chips are magically better because they're designed by Apple. Rather that the x86 architecture is obviously very long in the tooth and now would be a great time to switch to a far more modern architecture especially in light of this steady stream of vulnerabilities and defects that keep being found in x86.

I'm sure ARM64 isn't perfect but I've yet to learn of something as severe as this, or Spectre, or Meltdown.
Your interpretation is far too generous to Uber.

> prices may increase to help ensure that those who need a ride can get one

Why are you using the app if you don't need a ride? I agree that it's purposely vague, which makes it intentionally confusing.

Here's another link: https://www.uber.com/us/en/marketplace/pricing/surge-pricing

> This encourages more drivers to serve the busy area over time and shifts rider demand, to maintain reliability and restore balance.

> Surge pricing is a relief valve for the rideshare marketplace. Without it, when demand for rides exceeds the number of available drivers, riders would wait longer (or might not be able to get a ride at all). Drivers would have less incentive to accept requests in busy areas. Surge pricing helps restore balance to the network. By waiting a bit longer, riders can avoid the surge price.
