> I think we've just brainwashed ourselves into believing you need to be ultra wealthy to give kids a good childhood

At the heart of this people want to give their kids the same or a better life than what they received. People have trouble accepting a lower standard of living even if it leads to better non monetary outcomes. Just like some people choose to stay in a high paying job they dislike, rather than take a pay cut for a more satisfying job. It is unfair bar we place on ourselves.

I'm also a very heavy searcher, and at most I've been at 1200 searches in a month. Do you let the browser auto-fill URLs you frequently visit, or do you use the search engine for that?

> Marcus, can thee get the car, please.

Two notes:

First, you'd use "thou" here, as it's the nominative case, and the correct conjugation would be "canst".

Secondly, "thee" and "thou" were very much the form used to speak to a close friend or social inferior in early modern English. "You" functioned more like French "vous" or German "Sie"- as either a plural formation or a formal address of a social superior.

With that in mind, it would probably be more accurate to say that they should be rendered "Marcus, can you get the car, please?" and "Mrs. Miller, canst thou get the car, please?" And notice the parallel between "canst thou" and "kannst Du"!
Speaking of surround sound. What is the best surround sound nowadays? I used to be a big Sonos fan but I've waned on them over the years since. What are folks doing nowadays?

Bonus if its wireless and supports Airplay 2, but not required
Thank you! I think it’s the only way it makes sense
It is true that the people demanded the lifestyle provided by fossil fuel emissions. But corporations didn't just say "oh if you insist." When new policies and regulations are attempted that will not affect the lifestyle of the people but will eat into corporate profits, they fight tooth and nail.

An honest corporation that was just acting to serve the needs of the people wouldn't do something like fight to reduce the exxon valdez spill fine by 100x or raise a fit when regulatory agencies mandate generation shifting.
Not sure how you can possibly claim that deindustrialization is a myth amidst constant talk of reshoring industry.

It is no secret that manufacturing was moved to Asia and you’re presenting figures of “sale values”.

What does this say of the industries? What is the production like? What is meant by manufactured? Is this inflation adjusted? Value is up but what about throughput? What is being produced and who is buying it?

Manufacturing employment has been falling for over 40 years [1]. We live in a service oriented consumption based economy.

Because it can be nice to read reviews to decide what to read next.
Yes, they do. I have a friend who did just that. Was it justified? I don't know, but it's very real.
Cmon, - you are the one misrepresenting the actual definition of self driving - aka Level 5.

No vehicle is at level 5.

Calling it “my definition” and then switching the actual definition is unfair.
Like you, I don't mind being called "Mr.", but the problem is that my sister would very much prefer not to put "Miss" (and not to lie) because it results in undesired advances, and my wife would also prefer to not put "Mrs." because it results in discrimination for the opposite reason, and because it results in people asking to talk to me instead. At the same time, you can't drop it entirely, because my aunt will complain loudly if she's not allowed to put the "Dr." honorific that's very important to her identity in a title field.

I agree with the recommendation that it's best just to have a big name field and allow users to be "Dr. Firstname Lastname" if they want that, or "Firstname Lastname" if they don't want a title, or "Englishname Surname Givename" if they want that.

The push-back usually becomes that you can't trivially parse it a single name field later to use part of the name conversationally as if you know the person closely and send them spam with "Hey <nickname>, we haven't heard from you in a while, did you know that we now offer blah?". Instead, be honest, if you can't even take the time to understand the name syntax of an entire country, you don't know that user closely.
I don't want, too. but author can get more money.
I have twice had the experience of meeting a professor who had done their PhD in the late 1980s/early 1990s on Dataflow and were lamenting having wasted their time since it turned out to be a dead end. I pointed out to them that the computer they are currently using has a hidden Dataflow machine inside of it - it just has a front end converting the x86 code stored in memory into the dataflow graph (reorder buffers, reservation stations and so on) before actually executing it.

Perhaps one day the "all advanced processors are really RISC inside" meme will get replaced with "all advanced processors are really dataflow inside".

Of course, there is the option to make the dataflow visible to the outside with the EDGE (explicit data graph execution) architecture (Microsoft even showed Windows running on one).
Was the article edited? I don't see that second quote anywhere. I sort of understand your objection to the first quote, but the original source phrases it basically the same way.

> Preliminary analyses, graphically represented, have unveiled the presence of Aluminum (Al), Sulphur (S), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr), and Titanium (Ti) on the lunar surface. Further measurements have revealed the presence of manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), and oxygen (O).

Sounds like you’re misinformed.

Text-only newsgroup servers are free.
You only need to use/pay for indexers if you’re scouring many groups for specific keywords.

If you’re subscribing to specific text groups you don’t need to search an index for the whole net. You can just scroll to the top and read what you missed since last session

The barrier of entry is learning how to use a piece of software like Thunderbird.
It’s no larger than email.
If you figured that one out, you can figure out newsgroups too.

I remember when everyone was deriding “the internet” and “email” as being too cumbersome for an “average person” to figure out, having too many “hoops” to jump through to use it.

Thanks for the nostalgia, wackget
> Or, you know,

This is an obnoxious way of starting a point.
My issue is that they don’t have good recommendations. And they shut down their api and don’t share their data with users who want to calculate their own recommendations.

Their UI is fine. Their ratings are as good as any other ratings.

I would hate a “modern” Goodreads and am glad Amazon bought it and abandoned it rather than Meta who tried to make book readers live stream their reading or whatever stupid stuff they’d try.
Even if it's mostly a sham, that's better than nothing
I agree. Just give me a stereo track, and I'm happy enough. I don't want to buy a receiver and install multiple speakers in my living room/kitchen/office, thank you
A lot of carbon needs to be removed from the atmosphere, something needs to do it at scale. The IPCC says we’ll need global cumulative net-negative emissions of 380 GtCO2 from 2050 to 2100 to return to 1.5°C after a likely overshoot. Focusing solely on emissions reduction will lead us directly to a global warming induced dystopia.
As Jacques Ellul says (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOCtu-rXfPk): when the bridge collapses, who is to blame?
Climate related deaths have declined by 98% over the last century.

You are 50x less likely to die of a climate-related cause than in 1920.

8x as many people die from cold temperatures as warm ones.

The planet is more green today than a century ago. CO2 is plant food.

We need more energy, not less. Renewable, nuclear, and yes even fossil fuels.

It brings people out of poverty and increases standard of living. When humans move up Maslow's hierarchy they start to care about the environment. CO2 emissions have been decreasing in the US since 2007.
this honestly looks like a wish.com version of orbstack. the documentation site is like if someone took orbstack docs and sliced and diced out all the stuff that wasn't relevant. https://docs.orbstack.dev/

the lack of screenshots, lack of detailed explanations about how it works makes me really think this is just a trojan horse or honeypot type of application that has ulterior motives.
I could start keeping tabs of other healthcare threads and the comments defending to make your N robust enough for you to think that more than one person in the US is defending the healthcare system as-is, if you'd like.
How I lusted after a Hasselblad as a youth. I nearly bought a Kiev 60 in the 1980s as a cheap substitute, but decided it would require too much suspension of disbelief to appreciate it.
Developed countries will always have immigration as long as somewhere remains a totalitarian hole. But yes, economically there is significant moral hazard. It is dependent on somewhere being unpleasant enough for people to want to live in a completely different culture.
Yeah, it is really terrible. Any sub with user submitted drama stories were terrible. Many are fake or ragebait, or at the least extremely one sided accounts meant to garner sympathy. You click on one and it starts feeding you more. The comment sections are really terrible in those subs as well, there is no reasoned discussion going on.
I've been thinking of this for a while - something like an advanced keyword filter that would work across most webpages, using a smaller LLM maybe?

Personally I'd love to put in the names of some American cult of personality figures - Musk, Trump, the Kardashians etc.

Ideally it would filter out all posts and comment trees on HN or reddit that are about these people and a handful of other topics. Even if it only worked on those two sites it would be a huge improvement to the internet for me.
> From my own observations, I feel that the right is often wrong on many things, but the far left has gone off the rails

The difference, I feel, is that I know many people whose identity is "leftist" or "progressive" and I don't personally know anyone who identifies as a "rightist". The right is a centuries-old boogeyman of the left, and it encompasses everyone who disagrees with the critical-analysis class-based views of the left.

The worst term the left has is "far-right" which just means very-heretical. The worst thing you can do is let your opinions diverge from the groupthink.
Insert "buying from" before the last word

This is entirely within people's own hands. Not all of those people are you and me, it also includes our boss who decides to buy combustion vehicles for employees still (what year is it?), but in the end it's individual humans that decide for themselves whether to continue paying for oil products when there are alternatives available such as with personal vehicles. Maybe a majority overrules you if you're in some committee or board, but every vote was again an individual's choice. I don't see Shell or any oil company as being fully and solely responsible here
> edit: I even click in on my name to check if I've gotten any upvotes or responses. I understand it's all worthless

I don't much care for the upvotes (nor the occasional down) but the responses are not always worthless. In fact a count of responses (in total or since last visit) would be more useful to me in the top right of the page where the vote count currently sits.

Someone might be correcting or refining what I've said in a way the I'll find useful, or someone could be asking for clarity on what I've said which, assuming I have time to respond back, might be useful to others too, or might highlight that I'm not as sure as I thought I was originally which again may help my understanding.

This isn't true elsewhere of course, HN is one of the few places online, other than private groups, where responses have a reasonable chance of being useful.
If the world stopped consuming fossil fuels today, overpopulation would no longer be an issue in about a year or two.

Because 90% of the population would die.
Actually, only one ends in 'e', therefore Gmail would treat them as distinct.

It's spelling errors, not the dots, that are usually the source of misdirected emails (and also, wrong domains).

Kind of ironic that you proved the opposite point of what you intended.

A paid subscription is not required for the pure text aspect of Usenet. [1] It is required however to make use of the binary groups which makes sense as those servers use a tremendous amount of bandwidth even by today's standards.

For note-taking apps, it's easy to add different features by learning other great products. Moderation means preventing any feature from being introduced without due consideration. I want it to work well enough with as few features as possible, and focus on less unnecessary things.
I’ve used LT since 2006. I like its interface which presents a lot of information on one page instead of lots of white space. And I like its features, groups, discussions etc. Though my use has dropped off now.
> does that mean you can stand outside your Congressman's house at 1am with a megaphone?

This is separately handled by the tort of nuisance, from common law; the content of the speech or the political office of the person hearing it is irrelevant. What's relevant is that it's a large noise disrupting someone's reasonable sleep hours.
Possibly getting that talent to work on what became teams?
I lead security at Sourcegraph and have been overseeing the incident investigation and resolution. To give you more specific details, I can say that we saw that the attacker viewed a page where they would have only seen the first 20 items, and we were able to determine what those were at the time of viewing because of stable sorting.
What was remarkable is how Facebook's Threads app jumped straight to being full of advertisers and hucksters - they didn't think that maybe the right way to bootstrap a social network would be to make it full of authentic conversations, at least to start with.

That, and I also get value out of tracking books I might want to read.

Whenever a book references another book I may want to read later, or there is a HN comment recommending a book which sounds interesting, I'll add it to my "to-read" list. Then when I finish my current book, I can sort this list by average rating to decide where to go next.
A tiling window manager + a high resolution screen can be pretty roomy for doing that kind of work.
It sounds to me like the original poster is saying they're the best courses for them because all the resources are available and up-to-date rather than because the content is superior.
I use it for tracking lists.

It’s easier than keeping my own cloud doc and looking up titles and authors.

That’s it. I like a list of all books I’ve read and if I liked them. And I like a list of books I want to read.

I’m happy that I can see what my friends read, but that’s not a determining factor of using the site. And way less since no one I know uses facebook any more.
I had a friend get into it by being interested in middle school and just getting deeper and further with time. I think the fact that "they don't want you to do it" while many people do want you to do it is part of the allure: feels like being an intellectual Robin Hood, even if it's really not that; but also it's just a satisfying puzzle in its own right.
It's called realism, something doesn't have to be virtuous to be true.
People who are of bipartisan ideology hate the other side enough that they ban their news outlets from their search results. I think people do search for a lot of news topics, and then get furious when a link to their enemies appear in the results.
Not just first amendment, people always forget the fourteenth amendment.

Many state laws are massive fourteenth amendment violations, the problem is the supreme court gets the final say on that interpretation and you can predict how each and every one of those will go down for the next decade or two.
The write off is based on the cost of creating the show. I think the article is wrong/sloppily phrased in its line about the value of the company. If they remove a show then it will never generate any future revenue so they can write the cost of producing it off as a loss.

The real scandal here is how little viewership streaming shows get and how little revenue they generate off of that viewership. Particularly for how expensive these shows are.

I wrote a couple of comments elsewhere in the thread about some specifics and consequences. But the takeaway is that the last decade+ of super expensive “prestige” shows on streaming has been a huge bubble that isn’t supported by the underlying revenue generated by the shows. In 2022 Netflix spent $16 billion on producing shows [https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/netflix-content-spendi...] to generate shockingly few viewing hours (which is why they will never agree to WGA demands to release viewership numbers in order to pay writers residuals; their stock would go to 0 if those numbers ever became public). The future of streaming is ad-supported cheaply produced reality TV, ie exactly what niche cable looked like in 2008.
Surely "monoculture" is an exaggeration.

The Swedish population includes a large number of Finns, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Sweden says even 50 years ago 10% of the population was born to foreign born mothers.

If Sweden isn't a monoculture then your argument suggests integration should be possible, yes?

That doesn't mean it would be easy to integrate refugees. Just look at how hard it was for Miami to integrate Cuban refugees. Anti-Castro extremists, for example, set off car bombs in the 1970s and 1980s. http://cuban-exile.com/doc_051-075/doc0073.html

Knowing this, yes, other European countries should have done more, to helped share the effort needed.

To make sure I understand the topic, I researched more about Sweden's multicultural history.

https://www.informationsverige.se/en/om-sverige/individens-r... says "There are five recognised historical national minorities in Sweden: Jews, Roma people, Sami people, Sweden Finns, and Tornedalians" and historically they were deliberately oppressed by monocultural policies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornedalians gives one example:

> Tornedalians were the targets of extensive so-called "racial biology" and swedification policies. In the early-to-mid 1900s Herman Lundborg and others from the State Institute for Racial Biology performed skull measurements on Tornedalians, with Lundborg performing the first measurements in 1913. At the same time speaking Finnish in schools was banned in parts of the country, including the Torne Valley. This ban was only revoked by the Riksdag in 1957.

How does that fit into your concept of "monoculture" in Sweden?
> Too many people are in it for the money

What? It’s a job.

You yourself say the financial rewards are a blessing. Sounds like you’re in it for the money, too. If you’re not, your boss might OK a 20 or 30% salary decrease should you request it.

This isn't surprising at all, Skype for Business was a joke - the verb used at the time was Webex. What is shocking is how horribly Cisco bungled the entire thing. They went from market dominance (61% market share) to almost an afterthought in a matter of a year.

I'm not arguing for or against anything. I asked "what if X" and you responded "not X, also you're a bad person."

My argument was not "we should strive for equality of outcome, even if it means eugenics!" but rather to point out that it is an absurd goal.

As for my amusement, it was at this person (I can't remember the name) expressing a hope that outcomes are due to genetics, because he saw this as the optimal situation (due to the inevitable progress of technology), rather than hopeless as most people do.

Also just to be perfectly clear, I am not rejecting the role of environment. I am just also not rejecting the role of genetics. If genetics really didn't matter, differences in outcome between me and a banana would be purely environmental.

To be clear: I think Microsoft would gladly pay 100bb to acquire OpenAI (although I think that one would give the lawyers a headache given the weird corporate structure)

I wouldn't consider Usenet a social network.

I never liked Usenet, but when I was a teenager I posted some embarrassing, angsty, awkward messages in the alt.* space, so I was glad for many reasons when it rightly died off. If it rises, phoenix-like, I probably still won't use it. And if those messages (which I have searched for since) are recovered, I'll blame it on that one guy in Florida who has my same name.
> And they don't really seem to get AI.

To say this is to not know how Apple operates. They have been shipping local AI in phones for a decade now. Every phone has one of the best neural processors out there. Apple is better prepared than anyone. And that's before considering their remarkable restraint to not release something until they are happy with it. They are 100% working on LLMs and I'm sure they will do it their own way. This isnt some sort of fanboy post, it's their story. From OLED to the Mac transition to Apple silicon. Slowly, then all at once.
LOL. Of course Reckless Conduct. I was offered Reckless Conduct. It's a catch-all crime you can use to charge anyone with anything. It's a very low-level misdemeanor. Prosecutors use it as a plea negotiation when they need a conviction at all costs to save face. Especially Cook County prosecutors.
