> a sizable portion of the population wouldn’t be caught dead on a bus.

Yep that’s another part of the problem. Easy answer is for official to through their hands up and make way for more individual cars rather than addressing the root problem and do the hard work of making public transit attractive.

I’m in Switzerland at the moment for example, a large chunk of people don’t own cars, you can go by train and bus everywhere (literally, I can go across the country on one ticket, go to ski by train, or to the top of mountains by train and mountain trains), and the bus isn’t the social stigma it is in the US.

There is no reason why the Us can’t get their act together and do the same thing other than lack of will to do so. Instead, you have multilevel 12 lanes freeway monstrosities and insane traffic.

Actually nowadays it's not that bad anymore. Android browser itself offers installable PWA and there is an event called beforeinstallprompt event (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/befo...), which can be used to perform PWA installation on user interaction. Of course it's not supported in every browser.

iOS is more difficult since user needs to understand that "saving to home screen" is same as installing "app" and there's no way to trigger it programmatically or help user in any other way than with visual illustrations.
We love to discuss technology on here and I have my own opinions about that, but to be honest, as a user I have found absolutely no correlation between the underlying technologies and how well an app works for me.

It often hinges on seemingly small design decisions that make some frequent task either a breeze or a constant annoyance. There aren't many cases where making the right design decision depends on whether or not the code is "native".

I believe the most important distinction is whether the motivation for making an app is economically aligned with my motivation for using it and sustainably so.

It's not primarily a technology issue.

I don't get why the SEC doesn't enforce a minimum tick rate of one second. Heck, even one whole minute would barely exceed the noise floor. High-frequency trading doesn't need to exist, and the brilliant minds bashing their heads against the problem could be pursuing far more productive endeavors.
> The 14nm analog chip mimics the human brain

I do with that at least _tech journalism_ outlets would develop a habit of asking at least one followup question when a PR says that something is like the human brain. Having analog values between zero and one is not at all particular to the human brain, or any brain, where we have spikes occurring at varying rates, not scalar activation levels. This chip could equally well be described as having components which mimic a dimmer switch, or perhaps a gas gauge that varies between empty and full. Yes, that's cool. No, it's not really brain-like.

I do not wish to recommend Virtuosity (1995), unless your are a hardcore Matrix fan or ravenous cinephile. It does contain some influences on plot and handling of action sequences.

The fight scene in the Japanese restaurant seems directly Matrixesque. The second half of the film is unwatchable. It's often overlooked as an influence, but not underrated as a movie.

Foveon is apparently "more of YUV", because it's not yet possible to band-stop just the desired wavelength range for each layers and let others pass. Instead the three layers gets RGB, RG and R channels respectively, and the camera computes the delta.

The "Quattro" generation Foveon used 2x2 subpixels for the top layer. My impression then was it was a last-ditch effort to mitigate poor sensitivity, but it's interesting how it was arguably an only analog convolutional network processor in a consumer product, from a different perspective.

The use of a bayer filter means that the actual edges for different colour areas are created in software processing afterwards. This causes everything to be slightly misaligned and fuzzy in a way the foveon was not, and no amount of reconstructive processing is going to help you.

Of course today the actual resolution of more conventional sensors dramatically exceeds the best foveons to the point where this advantage is nullified.

I think there's this general problem with cloud deployments I'm seeing happen more and more:

People building this huge Multi AZ, Hyper Redundant, Multi-National, infinitly scaling Cloud Solution for something that requires a single VM and a Database.

Most Companies just don't need that level of scale and would be better off building something smaller and when you actually do scale you rewrite it with the profits made from the smaller solutions.

Of course there are many companies that do require something large but you should seriously consider if something smaller will do first.

I think solutions like a 100% cloudflare workers based backend can sidestep this a little but usually, that's not possibly or even the right thing in every situation.

In most cultures, spoken language is usually much simpler and down-to-earth than written language. Misunderstandings can be immediately clarified by asking the other person to repeat or rephrase. Complex structures in spoken language is usually reserved for formal speeches or presentations. It is not surprising that people easily tire listening to those.

In case of Japanese, the pitch accent is not recorded in writing, but in spoken language it is probably very helpful to recognize word structure and boundaries.
I predict the term "blog" (web log) will become obscure and unfashionable much sooner, leaving customers with domains they don't really want anymore.

> Can we just make private equity firms illegal?

Not without upending capitalism (which, to be clear, I’d be ok with). The thing you are against isn’t private money buying entities, it is that our capitalist system does not align interests among stakeholders and instead is focused 100% on shareholder returns. We need better consumer, employee, environmental protection and to get money out of politics. Easier said than done…
That would being down the market price which is exactly what they’re trying to avoid.

It adds no value and shouldn't waste this resource. Latency arbitragers get rewarded based on beating the next best: they get the same reward for beating next-best by 100ms as for beating by 1us. There is no net value to society for the difference, but lots of resources wasted in achieving it once competition has reached that level, squandering most of the reward on in the forms of data center waste heat, spectrum waste, and soon probably rocket exhaust.
Don't try to build a house out of this argument, because the wolves are going to blow it away.

If the top search engine spot in Firefox would be so valuable, than there would be real bidding wars. $400M/year is nothing when it comes to BigTech. Frankly, anyone could pitch a business plan for an investment bank to get a few billions and outbid Google. If anyone cared... but being the default search engine in a browser that virtually nobody uses isn't worth a lot. But it's a fantastic decoy, if you have nothing better.

(Also, Yahoo offered more when both Firefox and Yahoo still mattered. Which is not the case anymore. The only viable search engine today is Bing, who stopped caring about search, as AI seems to be more lucrative for them. Marginalia is also here, but that guy has less money than MS, prolly)

Safari exists exclusively on iOS and MacOS. On Android, Windows and Linux Chrome has virtually 100% market share.
Do you know why Google spends more money on Safari? Because on that platform they want to be the default browser. Safari doesn't depend on Google at all. Not like Firefox.

Firefox dies in 2 minutes once Google decides that it has outlived their usefulness, at which point all their users default to Chrome, where they don't have to pay to be the default search engine. And at the point they would have to pay only Safari, without any negative impact on their search traffic. But as it stands today, they would have no competitor on the vast majority of the consumer computing systems.
Yes. The board of Twitter did not appear to want to be bought by Musk and refused his initial advances. But when it became clear he was serious and willing to commit legally to paying a premium for the company they could hardly say no. At first it seemed like maybe he was trolling.
If I were you I would have a read to the books of Naomi Klein, in order to understand how deeply US has ruined everything it touched, from killing of political thinkers who were considered subversive, to funding armies and coups, to closing students for decades in wooden boxes of 1m2.

I understand people would think that their own population is capable of doing stuff, it's not. Having read about the history of US, I'd say that the world would be a better place without it, and would think twice before letting it off the hook with just some sarcasm, I know US it's very good at PR when it comes to funding death around the world, but there are writers who have told us what it actually is
I watched all 30 minutes of that, and it was just painful to live vicariously through the blatant ignorance and impotence of Google Support who kept copy-pasting the same answers while ignoring the poor lady's pleas, questions, and assertions. I get the same feels from Google Support all the time, and most other Tech Support desks. I get it from my employer's Tech Support. Interestingly, though we depend on Google Workspaces as mission-critical for our day-to-day operations, we don't even have recourse to Google Support for it. At all. If I discover some sort of bug or issue at work, I have to reproduce it in my personal account and try my luck at Google One support.

You might be surprised to find out that there is actually no proof of this.

The biggest thing impacting people with ADHD symptoms is the diagnosis. It implies they have a brain disorder, and cuts short any exploration into environmental causes of their symptoms.

And an environmental cause may in fact be, simply not trying some simple advice from this article. Resolved by education.

IME ChatGPT provides more useful results than SO, especially because ChatGPT doesn't try to guess what I'm asking and takes my request at face value (by its very nature). If ChatGPT struggles with a particular topic, companies like OpenAI could hire some subject matter experts (SMEs) to write material that could be used for future training. I don't see how SO can survive much longer.

Two things SO could do to beat ChatGPT as it exists now:

1) Require all questions and answers to include the names of tools and their version numbers. Hide Qs and As until those are added. This is so critical, I have no idea why it wasn't required since day 1.

2) Discourage answers that don't answer the question, through moderation. If you don't know the answer, don't post, or at least leave your notes as a comment.

Bonus: Stop removing chats. The number of times we see someone link to a chat that 404s is too damned high. Cf: complaints from folks about the unsearchability of Discord chats wrt software tools.

Show HN: A web service for E2E P2P file transfers with chat
Hey everyone,

I've submitted this 3 years ago but since then a lot has changed in the app - I've added better mobile (and PWA) support and been working on getting rid of the bugs. Direct messages have been added to the chat and the app now handles disconnections more gracefully (although it's still not possible to resume the transfer after a disconnection - this is being worked on).

The app is fully open source: https://github.com/mat-sz/filedrop

This repository also includes installation instructions, and it's very easy to deploy the app with Docker.

Hopefully you will find this as useful as I do (I wouldn't lie by saying that I need to use this at least a few times a week thanks to being an owner of an iPhone).

You are not wrong. Part of why I’m a huge fan of immigration, is that the numbers show that every major wave of immigration the US has encountered led to massive GDP growth. Immigrants tend to be net savers.

But, I believe it’s important to make immigration a little hard. Why? because it acts as a filter, that ensures that more capable immigrants are more likely to make it through.

I say this, because correlation is not causation. The people who are able to emigrate are more likely to be successful immigrants. So please be a little careful with confirmation bias. I tend to agree that moving out of a bad situation is a very good idea. I also know sometimes a bad situation is something you have to deal with. Some people really do have obligations that keep them tied to a location, often in the form of family (and I say this as a believer in dropping toxic family members).
