You've been fooled if you think that Facebook, Google are the ones who would be selling the data. Of course it's not them, it's the data brokers who get all the data from all the other US companies who are tracking every other thing we do. They will sell the data to anybody with money, including China. Even if the data brokers said they would never do that, I guarantee China can just set up a company in the US and straight up purchase the data outright.

For another perspective, an iPhone looks a lot like a Newton with phone capabilities. Maybe without Jobs returning to Apple, Apple would still be in the phone market.
100% Yep. I like OpenAI but I think their peril will be due to lack of vision more than anything else. Other players are catching up. IMHO they should stick to providing AI infrastructure.

That being said, considering Microsoft's investment, the most likely outcome is that OpenAI will move into the consumer business while being the research arm for Azure.

I consider myself a bleeding heart libertarian capitalist pig. I want the government to stay out of my life as much as possible. But I don’t have a problem with taxes or providing a safety net to people in need and paying taxes to fund it.

I would love to have an LLM that could respond to any position I gave it from the viewpoint of both Bernie Sanders and a Romney/Bush/WSJ conservative angle.

Whatever the Republican Party overall these days is, it ain’t conservative. On a side note, I do have to give a shout out to my Republican governor Kemp of Georgia, somehow he has managed to stay true to what I would expect from a conservative governor.

I’m not trying to criticize any Democratic governor. I’ve lived in GA all of my life until last year and I don’t follow state politics outside of Ga and FL where I now live (and I won’t open that can of worms)
I like the idea, and the media type but I find the message schema to be messy and probably obsolete even before being used.
In the wild, there are error message formats that are more standard, more machine processable and more convenient in my opinion.

The type being a uri looks like an useless attempt to be generic. It might have been a common base for errors, like a namespace and that would be ok but then the "error code" in itself would be missing.
Sure random HN contributor - I'll believe you over the IPCC, which predicts even in the worst-case scenario nothing anywhere close to "global civilization collapse" in 2100.

You're not the first person to mention that, to which I counter: Cascading is a mistake in today's component-first web. It works at a very small scale, and _sure_ some things should be cascaded—which Tailwind absolutely lets you do. But 80% of your styles are going to end up scoped to their component—so you might as well use a tool that leverages that concept to its fullest extent.

All my "hard opinions" aside, I have anecdote that no amount of facts can change—I build things faster, more maintainably, that look BETTER than anything I did before Tailwind. Until those pillars stop being true—Tailwind will have my heart.
If you can come up with a way to make the developers actually do that, by all means, please suggest it.
Maybe so. I'm not even sure that's a bad thing. The defining trait of iPhone is that it made mobile Internet connectivity (I hesitate to say "computing" since 99% of what people do is just use these devices as dumb terminals, TVs, or cameras) a thing everyone has and takes for granted.

But given what we've actually done with this tool, arguably the world was better when this wasn't true, with the minor (in the grand scheme) exception of a boom in software jobs like my own.

> A well fed rebel without a cause with a government aided financial safety net.

There's no safety net in the US and we have the homelessness to prove it. What you're seeing is the right wing roots of the US being used to promote a mix of corporate, government and individual cult-like (think Alex Jones) propaganda. Lots of people in the US are susceptible to that, they've spent generations trying to promote white supremacy, US supremacy... that radicalism is easy to hijack, especially when the "opposition" is also thinly veiled corporate and government propaganda.

I don't think that the energy cost of irrigating in the desert will ever be sustainable.

If you have a counter-example, I'm interested.

But I do see the possibility of solving the problem by using photovoltaic energy (though maybe not optimally, because not having to move the water would allow to use the electricity for other usages).

Bear in mind that the alternative is to grow crops in countries where it is raining most of the time.

Plants fare really really well in rainy countries, they don't mind at all that the sun is less present.

The only real drawback is the shortened growing period, if the country is too far north or too far south.
So it sounds like the purple crystal isn't repelled by magnets. So what part of the samples was causing the magnetic properties? Or are we saying that all of those videos and images were faked?
From your link:

> if the message’s sender does not use autodialing technology to send such texts and instead manually dials them.

So, there's definitely not enough here to suggest that it's in violation.

Related, what does "manually dial" even mean? A button that changes to the next number each time you tap it? Tapping an entry in a contact? A single "Call" button that enables when a phone line, in the queue of hundreds, is free?
iPod is what put them on their stratospheric trajectory. Any company with that product and that execution at that point in time could have achieved the same outcome.

iPod-iPhone wasn't a pivot, but it was different than everything that came before. It opened up a massive new market and made them who they are today. They struck gold: right time, right place, right mindset.

Android owes their huge level of success to entering the market at the same time. From that they were able to establish their duopoly. Microsoft, Blackberry, Palm, and Nokia took too long and got forever shut out.

Timing matters. Holding a captive audience with low churn also matters (even if keeping the jail cell locked is one of the techniques used to accomplish it).

But back to my earlier point - if everything wasn't so incompatible with everything else, we'd see a market that supports more than just two players.

I’d be shocked. Consider that your skin is exposed to much more drastic temperature changes.
Not sure why would this be an unpopular advice. I think it's a good advice.

I tried this before, but the problem is, the reason many people/businesses have shitty websites is that they are not willing to spend money on it. I approached a few local shops (e.g. a comic book store) to create a cool website for them for a few hundred bucks, but they wanted it for free. If I would be a junior developer looking for stuff to my portfolio, sure. But I'm not, and not willing to work for free for anybody.

However, I might have given up too easily. I think I'll give this another shot
Bookkeeping is about recording financial transactions. Bookmaking is taking bets.
On the bright side: when people say “believe in the science,” this is exactly what they should be thinking: challenge.

This whole process has been super healthy and similar challenges are important and needed for everything published, not just this particular research area.

I might be out in left field, but I read so often that researchers are running out of ideas. What’s wrong with getting a PhD for challenging something already published? It is incredibly valuable to society.
I did not downvote you, no. Downvoting because we disagree isn't how that's supposed to work, even though some use it that way.

Regardless, the use of Vault is not exclusive to cloud environments.

All of the listed features of Vault have benefits within larger organizations even if they don't use the "cloud" and deploy monolithic applications.

Most frameworks have built in ways to fetch secrets/config from Vault, making it an easy standardized way to do things across all of your applications/teams.

It doesn't mean you need to use it, of course, but it has a lot of perks for many different situations.

That's not really "photo organizing / sharing", that's just a directory listing.

HTMX is just a convenient way of handling user-initiated UI updates AJAX calls (for whatever purpose). So instead of writing some JavaScript that looks for a specific element to attach an `onclick` event and subsequently makes an AJAX call then again searches for an element on the page to update with the result you can put some (very simple) HTMX code in the HTML directly and it'll handle that sort of thing automatically; "without having to think."

It's just a nice, convenient way of handling such things. The argument in the article is that "this is how HTML should've been from the start" because it lets you do some pretty sophisticated stuff just by adding some simple/intuitive attributes to the HTML.
You are missing a huge sector of the real estate market.

Vast quantities of real estate are completely, or partially, valued as a store of value, due to its limited supply, and lower taxes for land owners who avoid developing the land vs. those that develop land (as development is taxed).

Virtually every balanced portfolio includes real estate as a financial hedge. Given limited land for this (or any other use) this drives up land prices immensely.

Billionaires own fortunes in unused plots, empty homes & apartments, and vast sparsely undeveloped land expanses, left completely or mostly unused. Because without property on it, land is currently taxed very lightly.

This pervasive circular-demand created by the financial instrument role of land also magnifies real estates role in financial bubbles and crashes.

Just as limited Bitcoins circular dynamics as a store of wealth encourage booms and busts: more demand => more value => more demand; and the reverse loop.

What makes land different from other resources is that it is both limited (especially habitable land near important resources), and necessary for every individual’s survival (you have to be, and store your artifacts of life, somewhere).

So demand for land doesn’t decrease when prices go up. As land prices go up, demand (in total dollars or other currency) goes up, not down.

UNLESS this combination of limitation and necessity is balanced by the economically sensible view that land is a limited common inheritance (nobody created it) and taxed to compensate citizens jointly.

AND development on land is not taxed, thus eliminating an effective double tax on the income that paid for the development (or equivalently, the income that pays off a development loan).

Then then land taxes cancel out speculative returns. The rich adapt by using another financial store of value vehicle that isn’t a survival necessity (gold, silver, Bitcoin, …), and land gets BOTH cheaper AND more productively used.
> Americans are the world’s leading refund seekers; consumers in Japan seldom return anything.

Lived in America. Permanent resident of Japan. Imagine my culture shock.

(Full disclosure/explanation: I was more shocked by the return culture, than the no-return culture here. More used to carefully choosing & keeping the item until it falls apart entirely. We are also very particular about non-burnables & e-waste. I am S Asian but with more ties to Japan & hence settled here. My culture shocks are a whole different story & worthy of a book chapter. American return culture, tipping & fanaticism for football/baseball team is unique.)
What I do:

1. Add TODO items when I'm in flow

At least then it's in a system to be triaged at some point.
dpkg handles individual packages, while APT is used to handle dependencies and version upgrades. I recall using dselect as a predecessor of APT in the beginning, but I don't know if it was part of the first release.

EDIT: dselect was developed at the same time as dpkg and was initially considered a part of it, so in that sense it was possible to upgrade a system by using just dpkg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dselect

Another random anecdote.

We ordered a custom glass shower door from Lowes because we were remodeling.

During the process, we found we were happy with a curtain (which we did not have before, we were replacing an existing door).

So, we asked Lowes if they would take it back, and they did.

A custom sized, $1500 door -- and they took it back. We were really surprised and grateful for it, to be sure. No idea what the aftermarket is for random sized shower doors.

Perhaps you've seen those old photos of lines of people standing outside soup kitchens? Might I remind you that there was no global ecosystem or global climate collapse in the 1930s? Such things have happened on a local scale in the past, before there was such a thing as "global civilization," resulting in the collapse of individual civilizations, but this time really is different.

LMAO, you think claiming to have a Jewish girlfriend means you're incapable of making anti-Semitic remarks... What's next, you can't be racist because you have a Black friend?!

You've done nothing but assume, make absolutely ridiculous stretches in your attempts to bring irrelevant points in to try and bolster your assumptions and baseless claims, and -- as for your "ideological battles" claim in another comment -- the only one bringing "ideology" into a discussion about data protection, is YOU.

Perhaps rather than being a toxic, condescending hypocrite, you could take a moment to step back and look at how hard you're projecting -- if you projected any harder, we'd be able to see you on the moon.

I won't be taking lectures on "elevated thinking" from an anti-Semitic narcissist who knows only baseless assumptions and false accusations, but keep raging on the internet.
This is what puzzles me - while time drift does occur, it tends to be in the form of minor errors which build up over time; large jumps are relatively rare. You'd think the mechanism described in the article would have a failsafe ensuring that only minor time recalibrations are performed.
Honestly, I just didn't realize people in 2023 were still spending time just to get the basic built-in functionality of a consumer computer to work.

Testing at 5 Kelvin is not hard. You don't have to take everything ultraliterally.

And science isn't about saying wood isn't a superconductor because it's impractical to test. That's not a result. You may be getting science confused with engineering.
the distinction I think you're trying to make isn't necessarily racism, but a bias toward ignorance-promoting tendencies to remain ignorant which can have the same result: insulation of thoughts, ideas, decisionmaking from outside views

i don't think it's wrong to say that you could probably find some improvement from an outside perspective and that you may be missing something if you aren't, but I don't think it's a simple enough problem that you can reduce aversion towards change to any single motivation without trying to understand their reasoning
Yeah, most US stores have generous return policies but this is not at all universal. Some stores have strict terms (must have original receipt, must be unopened, and returned within a 30-day windows), or sometimes the employee working the service desk had a bad day and decides to take it out on you.

I know that I tend to shop at stores that aren't going to challenge me when I need to return things.
Is anyone aware of an independent source for this claim? I'm not finding anything using search.

I'm happy to believe the author's account, but I'm curious how widespread this might be. I'd also like to know if this actually came from some group associated with DeSantis, as opposed to a fan who can glue together APIs or another campaign trying to generate bad publicity for a rival.

The internet has taught me to never trust material science advancements at face value. Batteries, solar power, superconductors, nanomaterials.. Even when they legit work, there is usually a straight forward reason why it just isn't feasible, and that is conveniently left out of the press release.
