Is monetising the web through advertising the reason these scraper sites exist? And removing that would make scraping sites an expense with costs rather than profits?

Perhaps google could do this. Ads on third party sites are probably a small part of their income compared to sponsored ads in search results, so they could be sacrificed and they’d take down their competitors who rely more on the website ads because they don’t have the search?

However, they have no need to compete on search quality at this time. If another player in the search and browser wars started downweighimg ad heavy sites then this might make google have to reluctantly follow suit. But you can imagine the FUD campaigns to paint such an actor as killing the internet and being the bad guy etc…
iPhones have had fast charging for half a decade: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208137

The iPhones 15 pro have 120hz, as did the iPhones 14 pro.

You don't seem to've tried very hard to convince yourself.
1 is going to hand the web over to Google and kill the open web

2 is going to happen eventually thanks to the EU

3 never going to happen
I think the main competitor is gitlab and GitHub, it’s very hard to compete with them. It’s not competing with earthly OSS. Personally the reason we haven’t used earthly satellites or CI is because we can’t use them inside the corporate firewalls, nor does it integrate with our existing CI tools super well, e.g. gitlab.

We use it and love it but it’s missing important enterprise features like that and SSO.
Putting the usb-c aside, I think the iPhone 15 is quite a nice upgrade, at least coming from a 13 pro. I’m mostly interested in camera features since it has replaced my DSLR camera. Nice look as well with rounded corners. The pro looks like something from the 90s but I really like it (I’m from the 80s).
Jacques Tati, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton regularly feature in these kind of lists. Plus Singing in the Rain, Annie Hall, and Nouvelle Vague films that are full of jokes. Critics have always viewed comedy and high art as compatible, so I don't know what you are complaining about.
Perhaps you have had a different experience but the IRS has always been polite and helpful in the few cases where I had income tax disputes. The key is to follow the process instead of trying to argue with bureaucrats or treat them as enemies.

Compliance deadlines are measured in months. You have plenty of time to mail responses. Usually they'll put a hold on collection activities while you have a dispute pending.
Maybe you mixed up the dates slightly?

Yes. By a large margin.
In my line of work (government contracting) undervaluing of cybersecurity is a direct consequence of ignorance. You have no idea how many times I’ve given the same scare brief to a decision maker who on Slide 1 said “We are already safe, we don’t need this crap” and on Slide 200 is clamoring to hire more people. But they can’t find any; qualified professionals are few and far between, and too expensive for GS scale.
AV1 HW decoder on Apple A17 means it's also coming to M3 MacBooks. My only wish is that AV1 HW encoder will be added to M3 MB Pros. So far no reason for many people to upgrade from M1
I think two things. One is just size. The other is complexity.

A fridge uses a few hundred watts. A HVAC heat pump uses a couple thousand watts.

A fridge has a simple hermetically sealed compressor. With a condenser and evaporator that are just long tubes. All the connections are brazed at the factory. Dirt simple.

A heat pump has a external motor driving a compressor. So you need seals on the shaft. And then the condenser and evaporator are more complex. Some designs need blower to blow air over the evaporator. And because it's reversible you need valves as well. More complex.

It seems like it would be trivial to build a "controller case" that goes around the phone. It could plug into the USB-C port, of course, and have joysticks on both sides, or whatever was required.
Seriously. I joined Apple after they acquired our company, and our product required a three-button mouse. They wanted to show their acquisition off immediately at a trade show, but the fact that we brought proper third-party mice to our demo stations set off a minor storm of consternation and knitted brows among management. There was little they could do, however, and we ran the show with Logitech mice.

In classic Apple style, when they finally capitulated and added secondary buttons to their mice, they hid them. Actually, that was the second stupid move. The first was making the entire mouse body the button... so you couldn't keep the "button" pressed and then scroll, lift, scroll some more (because when you lifted the mouse, the button was released). So Apple's workaround wasn't to fix that stupid design, but rather to add little "wings" on the sides of the mouse that you could pinch with two fingers while somehow keeping the mouse mashed down with other fingers, in order to do multi-swipe scrolling.

The "Magic" mouse was an attempt to one-up legit mice by adding a touchpad to the back of the mouse... which you were somehow supposed to swipe sideways across with some fingers, while using other fingers to hold the mouse in place. It's just so gallingly dumb. There's not much else to say.

Oh... except the one where the charging wire goes into the BOTTOM of the mouse! I mean... you can't make this stuff up. Actually, you could, but "Polish" jokes aren't really PC anymore.
We learned typewriter in school, I think it was around 85-89. Most of the typewriters where completely mechanical and to erase you either had a fluid you painted over the character to delete, waited for a few seconds to dry and then could type over. Or you used a small piece of paper that had a white sticky backside. You pressed the go-back-button and then typed the letter that you wanted to erase while holding the paper in front of the paper.

We also had a slightly more modern typewriter that was electric and had memory for a few characters, automating the delete function by switching to an erase-ribbon and hitting the right key for you.

And some of the typewriters even had two colors you could switch between. Oh the memories :-) That is one class that I still have use for every day. Can't say that about many of the others.
> Under US law, if Amtrak runs a train on freight rail networks, Amtrak gets priority. In reality, freight operators tell Amtrak to go fuck themselves and Amtrak duly complies.

It’s a bit more complex than that. All train journeys are scheduled ahead of time down to the block level, to ensure that only one train will ever occupy any given block at any given time. During this scheduling process conflicts are inevitable. Each conflict must be resolved somehow, and usually it is done by having one train wait in a siding for the other to depart the conflicted block. If one of these trains is a passenger train, then the law requires that the passenger train must always be given priority. This means that the other train must enter the siding and stop while the passenger train passes.

The freight companies always follow this rule, except for one tiny exception.

Consider what happens when one of the two trains cannot fit into any of the sidings. It wouldn’t do any good for that train to enter a siding and stop, because the back of the train would still be occupying the main line. Instead, the short train must use a siding and allow the longer one to pass.

Back in the 70s when Amtrak was founded and the law was written there just weren’t any long trains. But long trains are definitely more efficient, especially when they only have one type of cargo and all the cars are going to the same place. For one thing, the short trains need a lot more conductors and engineers than the single long train does.

So you can see that when an Amtrak train conflicts with a 2–mile–long coal train, it will definitely be the Amtrak train that ends up waiting. However, this does not _delay_ the Amtrak train, because it is built into the schedule. The Amtrak train has a published arrival time, and getting there on time assumes that it will be stopped for a certain amount of time waiting for that long train to pass.

There are people who think that the freight companies are breaking the law here, but the core fact is that the law simply doesn’t say anything about it; it simply assumes that either train could wait in the siding for the other. I believe it’s been brought up in Congress even, but there’s not been enough political will to amend the law; certainly Congress could ban long trains, or require the track owner to build sidings long enough to accommodate them, etc.

There is also the issue that a _late_ train loses priority. If an Amtrak train departs late (or is delayed during the trip somehow), then it could end up waiting on trains that it was originally scheduled to go ahead of, and this can make it later.

Funny story time: I was taking a trip on the Zephyr. We were delayed for ~20 minutes shortly after leaving Denver because the train ran over a shopping cart. The conductor got on the intercom and apologized for the delay, but of course they had to dig the remains of the cart out from under the engines and inspect them for damage. The train had been on time up til that point; they made up some time during the night, but we were still late getting in to Chicago. Fun times!
I did this. I went to a photographer who specializes in it. He booked a makeup artist, a hair person, and they took a few dozen shots at a couple different locations and with different outfits. The whole thing was half a day and like $500.

Decolonizing the City
Nice, if this can do on demand water heating to 70C then this is what I've been looking for.

Instant/Continuous flow water heaters are great because they only heat up what you need when you need it. So far the only ones I've found that are suitable for running a home hot water system are gas based. If you want electric, which I do because I have to get gas bottles delivered, then you're either stuck with low-pressure single-tap systems or a tank system that is either heated traditionally or by heat-pump.

A heat-pump beefy enough to do continuous flow would be awesome (though I guess potentially very expensive)
Good call, I’m going to dig into this further.
Installing / uninstalling / updating software should be a service provided by the OS. Letting vendors do it themselves just gives them an opportunity to mess it up, and they frequently do.
Did they go out of business? I know they had reduced production because of this, but you make it sound like it is no longer.

I use Dokku for side projects, where I don't expect high traffic, I'm the sole developer and I don't want any unexpected invoices I might get from a cloud provider.

You can run it on top of a single cheap VM, for example Digital Ocean or Hetzner, for a few dollars/euros a month. It is compatible with a lot of Heroku buildpacks e.g. PostgreSQL and Redis, has a similar CLI, and includes plugins for things like LetsEncrypt that can be installed with a couple commands. As with Heroku and other PAAS you can deploy with a simple git push.

It's absolutely fine for the MVP stage of a more serious project, but it's not really meant for scaling out beyond a single server. I mean sure, it's possible, but there are better tools for the job, and at that point you should have a bigger budget/team.

Have you tried the prescription thyroid hormone supplement liothyronine (T3)? There’s some good evidence that it boosts the effects of antidepressants and may have antidepressant properties on its own.
The iPhone mini is 135g. You can use it with one hand. It fits into any pocket. Take it with you when running (or swimming) and there‘s no need for an Apple Watch. Also, you don‘t need to twist your hand when paying but just pull it out of your pocket.

I have read books on this thing, because, guess what, you can change font size on any reader and actually hold it for hours without your arm falling off.

Have cracked every phone so far even with a case. But if you drop the mini, the low weight works in your favor.

Screen is too small? Why not get a second one? I just airplayed the US Open from my mini to my Samsung TV.

I have no idea why Apple does not continue to make the best iPhone, but I‘ll keep this one for as long as I get updates.

Wagtail is not your usual CMS is that unlike the competition (such as django cms), it doesn't come with any kind of structure.

On one hand that means you have to do more work: define exactly what you want, then declare it in code, then build the templates.

On the other hand it means you can do exactly what you want, including the requirements you just mentioned.

The latency drives me crazy (although some BT5 headphones are getting close to 30ms). The airpods I have tested have all had noticeable (definitely over 100ms in perfect conditions) latency. Some people don't notice it, but it drives me crazy. Especially when talking on the phone.

The audio quality of airpods is still subpar compared to $70 wired headphones.

I listen a lot to classical music and airpods 2 still makes becken (two cymbals smashed together. Don't know the English name) sound like someone throwing a rock into a pool.

I lose several pairs of headphones every year. Headphones being smaller is not a feature for me.

I have one pair of BT headphones. They have about 90ms latency, which is borderline intolerable (but better than every airpod). I use them for podcasts.

I plug my phone into speakers all the time (at work. I am a musician). A 3.5mm jack makes that a non-thinking operation.
It probably takes way more than a single individual badly training the AI to cause such a problem. That's like saying you yourself are responsible for the same crash because you pay taxes that helped subside the company.

If you want peppers beyond the occasional habenero; jalapenos, fresnos, sorranos, some others may be available, and very local dependent - you will need to grow yourself. Growing enough to meet the volumes for a large jar of peper sauce, etc. may be challenging.

My pepper endeavors this year (in Santa Cruz and high sierra) were mixed. Poblanos were nuts. Jalepenos ok. Hot peppers, not so much.
This is kinda totally off. You could say that about Spring and Pivotal/Tanzu/VMware or even Quarkus and Red Hat, or just IBM.

A lot of the American consumer finance infrastructure seems to be set up like a regressive tax on poor people who can’t avoid using the system.

If you don’t have money, banks will charge you $15 / month for a basic checking account, plus $50 overdraft fees if you make the slightest mistake in balancing the account (or if a company makes a fraudulent charge on your account — also dismayingly easy in the US system).

If you have any reasonable income they start waiving the fees, and beyond that they’ll shower you with offers for credit card rewards and other benefits effectively paid from the massive windfall the banks and other companies collect from the poor.

The market isn’t solving this, so there should be more regulation and very tight caps on these various fees. A bank account shouldn’t cost more than $2 / month. An overdraft shouldn’t be possible unless you opt in to a loan facility.

Singapore is monocultural? Please explain.
A few years ago, I discovered that I love making hot sauces. We grow peppers (jalapeno, serrano, habanero, bell peppers) and make gallons of fermented hot sauce each year from just 50 square feet of garden.

Agree about not not turning them in to paste, to avoid mold.

If you're in the bay area, Serrano are spicy and easy to grow as an annual here (they don't overwinter well).
>Glorifying government intervention into market economics (and forcing a changeover of an entire ecosystem of hardware, producing innumerable e-waste) seems like an odd take for HN's libertarian culture.

Not everybody is libertarian here, many are pragmatic, and are not dogmatic when a regulation is good.

For example, we also don't lament how there are standards in power plugs, and we don't have to juggle with 20 competing power outlets from different companies in our own country for the benefit of the "free market", nor are naive enough to believe that the better one would just have "won". That's for "ideal over utility" libertarian types.

The problem is that "good" cables are also really expensive. And thick.

Sometimes I just want to charge my matchbox sized flashlight from Aliexpress. I really don't want to use the full-on 120W + network + 8k video capable cable for that. It's so thick that the weight of the flashlight can't hold it down =)

Maybe they'll figure out some kind of markings for the cables eventually.

I'd mostly use three categories: Charge Tiny Device (5-10W enough), Charge Medium Device + data (20-30W, phones and tablets), Charge Big Device (laptops, power banks - as much as the spec can handle)

AirPods are not 100x better than wired. If you are not bothered by latency or audio quality, great for you. I usually don't mind audio quality, but the latency drives me insane. My wired headphones have 25ms latency. In perfect conditions airpods2 have 5x that paired with an iPhone. The only times it does not bother me is when listening to podcasts.

The DAC in the dongle I got with my iPad pro is noticeably worse than my pixel 5a.
based on revenue and installs. But any slightly decent mobile launch is going to have 200k installs (especially since Unity is STILL counting this per device, not per account).

200k revenue is a higher mark, but far from a high mark. Especially for mobile games. those mobile packs can go up to $100 a pop, so if you got 2000 purchases, every free customer is costing you.
