Surely invasion of privacy is a violation of the CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION.

Article 7

Respect for private and family life

Everyone has the right to respect for his or her private and family life, home and communications.

Article 8

Protection of personal data

In Sweden, physical search of the drives is a real concern. The Swedish national police attempted to search Mullvad once, but since there was no data to seize they left empty handed.
Idk who this is for. Unless you really like mechanical keyboards but can't use them either due to other coworkers or a lack of funds, but something like this would make me kinda sad as someone who actually likes mechanical keyboards.

This seems like an app that people who don't like mechanical keyboards wish that people who do like keyboards would use. But that's a laughable sentiment because it fundamentally misunderstands why people use mechanical keyboards.

The apple keyboard is shit, and the lack of sound wasn't the problem. If people in your life use a loud keyboard ask them to get a mechanical keyboard with silent switches, you can make them sound quieter than a laptop.
Thanks for the comment — I hadn't come across Somerville, but she seems fascinating.

I disagree - while it does not prove they aren't doing something nefarious, I think it is easier to demonstrate that you aren't logging to network calls than it is that you are accidentally spilling something to disk.
That doesn't really answer my question at all, at least not thoroughly in plain english.

The question is: if a government agency goes to tailscale and says: "we're looking for Mullvad user 912830193276163872" - does tailscale log that, can they provide it, will they provide it?
It sounds great. But their banner is showing that my ip address is from Mumbai, whereas I’m actually in Bengaluru, India. That’s not really re-assuring. Maybe it’s just apple relay on my device that’s obfuscating my details.

That's exactly my point though. It's only a fallacy because of your particular view on certain topics. For some people it's guns and abortion, for you it's the environment.

Imagine the world from the point of view of some one that truly believes that abortion is the murder of little children. I really mean it, just for 30 seconds.

We all have these core issues that we hold most dear and assume others must as well. Many people care far more about social issues than the environment or taxation or whatever their 'it' is.

Having only 2 parties forces us to choose the party that best represents our 'it' but to also vote for the myriad of other policies we may disagree with. We very much dislike the other party though because they have the opposite stance on our 'it'.

"It's all but certain that some number of southern states will flip blue" Florida is redder than ever. I encourage you to pause and reflect on the why of that. It's very much not because the voters are stupid, they have other 'its' that are important to them.
That's exactly the one we picked. I've even commented it in our Sieve script. Funnily enough some spammers have picked up on this and send their spam even to those mailboxes.
Well, I didn't say it was easy. :) It's a challenging software problem and the final 20% I imagine will be exceptionally difficult to automate. I have some other suspicions about why Flexport hasn't done this but I'm too far out to say anything with authority.

As for why the the industry folks haven't done this already, that's an easier one. For the operations people themselves, you're asking them to automate themselves out of a job. The efficiency and the cost savings aren't coming from nowhere, they're coming from salary spending on man hours. And I'm not just saying this is a cynical, self-preserving sabotage - I suspect many professionals in the space don't know or don't value automation. It's not "busywork" to them, it's _the job_ and that work is the core value that they add, so why would they change it up?

Leadership at these companies are probably more incentivized to do this, but to your own earlier point, they don't have the experience in building a modern application. They don't have the talent pool and they're probably afraid of "rocking the boat" too much because they have a good business already.

As I said before, I don't think any of the folks working in this space are stupid or incompetent. But there's a good quote from Upton Sinclair that I think is relevant here: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
I’ve never worked at a company where managers actually had the time to actually assess the quality of a single reports work.

A managers job is generally more team results oriented.
This could well be it. It never really occurred to me how radically the humidity changes throughout the day. I suspect this is because as the humidity rises the temperature is in a low and vice versa. So it feels like a relative equilibrium, but it's not. It'll be interesting to check out the by-the-hour data the next time a particularly mean hot+wet window emerges.

>Internal storage, regardless of how much, will run out quickly.

This only applies to Macs and Mac-a-likes. Actual desktop PCs have many SATA ports and can store reasonable amounts of data without the crutch of external high latency storage making things iffy. I say this as someone with TBs of llama models on disk and I do quantization myself (sometimes).

BTW my computer cost <$900 w/17TB of storage currently and can run up to 34B 5bit llm. I could spend $250 more to upgrade to 128GB of DDR4 2666 ram and run the 65B/70B but 180B is out of the range. You do have to spend big money for that.

Soon to be followed by a failed attempt at forcing organic waste recycling onto citizens...

I'm all for composting. I'm not for adding a third waste management stream all the way to single-family homes which will likely comply poorly with organic waste regulations due to the inherent disgusting inconvenience it entails. Officials are now seriously suggesting you store your food waste in the freezer to prevent smells, insects and rodents. As if we all have extra space in our freezers, extra time to deal with a third waste stream, extra space for a third trash can...

I really agree with the spirit of these proposals but I wish the folks in government would temper the idealism with pragmatism. "Doing something" isn't enough.
To word this differently... We here on HN have seen this go wrong 1000 times. But we hope Arduino is the project that manages to accept VC funding and still stay true to its opensource maker roots.

> The ones I found also have a discrete GPU which defeats the point. Having a low power draw, thin and light laptop that can also run fairly recent AAA games - amazing!

So, disable it? Most Zen4 laptops I've seen so far still fit the general thin and light category (albeit, at 15" vs 11-13") and is paired with a mid-range Radeon or GeForce (usually 4060/4070). Buy the laptop and put it in Eco mode in Windows (doesn't multiplex with discrete) or disable it in bios.

The Framework comes with a Zen4 cpu. It's thin and light and the GPU can be disabled:

https://youtu.be/L9Ww_7wwNkM?si=Zke0hCcubnwEl6oe

As someone who owns an AMD laptop (with Radeon discrete), I should point out that AMD's muxing algorithm is pretty conservative, unless you put it into performance mode. Video playback, basic GL/VK/DX operations, desktop usage/web browsing, etc sticks to the integrated GPU. I've only seen the discrete kick in once obvious heavy 3d operations were running (video games, benchmarks, 3d modeling, etc).

We've been banning plastic bags in (parts of) canada for a while now and honestly i love it. So much less litter just blowing everywhere. It is much nicer and worth it for that alone.
You really dont have a clue do you! Every part of the state you interact with takes notes, and the security services have access to it when they want it, bent judges do exist you know, and then they via Special Branch direct the Police.

When is an anonymous tip off by the public, just a cover for the state. They cant do it to everyone as the game would be up, but there is much more surveillance than you realise.

Alot of my relatives worked for the state, and as a kid I over heard alot!
There's a far simpler solution that many states and cities have adopted: a plastic bag ban.

You go to check out and your option is a crappy paper bag. That's ok for some small items, but doing your groceries with them is annoying. Everyone remembers to bring their shopping bags now.

Do you have any good book recommendations on design? I've read About Face and found it helpful but repetitive and not necessarily well written.
I don't read all the shallow articles on the coming AI apocalypse, but I gave this one a try.

I was a bit disappointed about the lack of creativity in dreaming up an AI infested future.

People are able to force each other into gullibly working 40 hours a week, so that they can have shelter, food and a smartphone. This is not a rational thing, it is historically grown group think on a massive scale. Trying to use rational arguments to forecast what the future will look like based on this chaotic process seems silly at best.

Nobody in the 1400s expected cars, democracy, let alone Facebook. So if this AI thing is as good as the printing press, then I wholly expect everyone to clone themselves a couple of thousand times, inhabit interiors of planets, grow 500,000 years old before entering higher education, but not something mundane as "letting an AI fill in the paperwork to set up a company".

TL;DR, you can safely skip this article.
>> any efforts to redesign streets with less cars and parking can't proceed.

Why? Is "parking" limited to cars? The city can apply the meters to bicycle/scooter/ebike/skateboard parking. Once upon a time many bicycles were regulated and some even required license plates. Chicago seems free to switch people other modes of transport and simply continue the parking fee system accordingly.
>which is why almost no non taxpayer funded entity offers DB pensions anymore.

In fairness, my (utterly non-expert) understanding is that tax law changes factored in as well. Though, to the degree they understand that pension funding isn't "free," a lot of employees would prefer to do their own saving, including in tax-advantaged accounts, without strings attached.

From a mental accounting point of view, yeah, it's nice that I'll have some "free" money coming in from decades ago but it was presumably not actually free in that offered benefits presumably factored into pay scales at some level.
You can argue that even greater than the tourism revenue they generate (which is significant) it's the soft power they yield; all the heads of state want to grab a selfie with Lizzie, less so with Rishi. (Time will tell with Charles.)

I don't doubt you're well intentioned, but there's probably more useful things to be fighting over. Especially as what you're fighting for will generate negligible incomes at best and negative incomes at worst. The last thing the UK needs after Brexit is a referendum on becoming a republic.

Refusing to amplify conspiracy theories seems like a net benefit to modern discourse and politics.
Funny antidote, but when plastic grocery bags first became available, my environmentalist sister would berate me for using paper bags, because "you can recycle plastic bags" and paper kills trees..

Show HN: Tempo Messenger – Reclaim your messaging time and minimize distractions
Hello, I'm Scott, creator of Tempo Messenger!

We started Tempo Messenger from experiencing message timing frustration with a big tech platform's ad account manager in a previous project. I messaged the ad manager at 9 AM, considering it a regular business start time, but her work hours began at 10 AM. This led to mutual annoyance.

This incident made us question if senders should constantly track recipients' schedules and time zones for timely messages. Should senders keep messages elsewhere? This concern applies to both business and personal chats. This is where Tempo Messenger stepped in – allowing recipients to decide when they receive messages, making timing convenient for everyone.

Tempo Messenger's solution is simple. You can categorize contacts into Work or Life groups and set a reception schedule for each group. This ensures messages are sent based on the recipient’s contact group schedule, allowing senders to send messages at any time confidently and recipients to receive messages at their available time.

We hope that Tempo Messenger brings about healthier communication habits, enhances productivity, saves time for every individual, and ensures that personal and professional lives coexist harmoniously.

> Registering is free though.

Sure, but that's not the only thing that makes registration a high-friction event. For instance, any time I register for something, free or not, I am also aware that I'm probably getting my name on a marketing list (and probably sold to other lists) as well. So I'm not registering for anything unless there's already a very well-established value exchange for it.
And lots of things deliver value and bless people along the way. Even a restaurant that eventually "fails" still employs staff, feeds patrons, purchases food from suppliers, and all the rest of it.

A thing doesn't have to achieve a shoot-the-moon ending in order to be a non-failure.
Craigslist is a business model which should be copied:

Aah, that's always a controversial question, on one hand, some universal rules of usability do exist, but on the other hand, everyone's habits, taste and use cases are very different.

The most neutral definition of a "well designed" website, without any further context, could be "created in a way that helps users achieve intended goals efficiently, while keeping max number of users happy about its look".

Again, different audiences will have very different answers. Here at HN, sites like https://www.mcmaster.com/ and https://www.craigslist.org win – because HN users appreciate old look and how efficient these sites are.

https://www.apple.com/ is an industry standard of a marketing site for consumer tech. It's not universally "well designed".

Other examples of well done marketing pages: https://www.sketch.com/ ; https://statamic.com/ ; https://linear.app/ got its share of hype recently.

Other times, a website is well designed because its content is awesome and is easy to consume. See https://ciechanow.ski/ and https://www.joshwcomeau.com/

Is https://github.com/ well designed? As an amateur developers, I'd say yes.

Is https://htmx.org/ well designed? Hmm, at a glance, there's no design at all. Is no design also design? That's a rabbit hole.

P.S. I often hear my website is well-designed :-)

> Possession is control, is it not?

Is possession == control then control == possession.

We can have a world like that, if someone worked in some role for a period of time we could have a legal process for them claim their proceeds of the enterprise. That sounds really complicated and it isn't the world we live in today.

I think the reason the word responsibility isn't used is generally you are expected to pay for people who take responsibilities off your hands. A plumber takes responsibility for your toilet problem, if you also have a unrelated faucet problem he can take responsibility for that as well, but not for free. On the other hand, owners aren't expected to be paid like that as they profit off the overall health of the enterprise, without providing that sort of mechanism, I don't see how you have any real ownership.
