Wow that is mind-blowing, thanks for sharing your perspective. Personally, I find it hard to grasp the idea of companies constantly onboarding and offboarding employees instead of investing in their growth. Every employee brings valuable domain knowledge, and investing in them can lead to better results. Happy and motivated employees tend to perform better, and that's something that can benefit any business in the long run.

Apple Will still have to recall existing ones if they can't fix this remotely.
He kinda explains it later:

> I think that inflicting suffering on vicious wrong-doers is morally praiseworthy even in the absence of any deterrent effect. Deterrence is a happy byproduct, but the fundamental point of punishment is to balance the scales of justice. In my Hitler-on-an-island thought experiment, for example, I maintain that the morally correct action is to make Hitler suffer as much as possible. Though you can’t make him die twenty million times, you should try your best to approach that ideal.

However, something is off here. They don't so much think that punishing wrong-doers is right; I suspect, since no reasoning is given, that they feel it's right. I'm no better, I don't agree with redistributism just because I don't feel the same, but I do feel that suffering is bad.
Germany literally shut down working reactors knowing that the power would have to be replaced with coal. That was known.
Britain's road were inadequate for the ammount of cars pushed into it to begin with. A nation that tries to rationalize napkin sized 'gardens' and two level homes as 'proper' on the basis of 'our island has limited space' pours ever increasing ammount of cars into this limited space, into the medieval sized road network and infrastructure and prioritize personal car use almost everywhere (with relatively negligible exception, most are in London) if it was the prairie of the america's, has priority over public transport and to a good degree pedestrians too (traffic lights favour cars), incentivising personal car use where it has admittably no proper environment! Car parks are erected in the very center of the cities attracting cars, cars occupy one lane of the two lanes available in almost every town's main street and all residential streets alowing single car width for two way traffic requiring patiece and courtious driving style not to grind traffic to a halt but more like to crawling speed (driving time in most regions is pathetic) while the few incentive with P+R and partial separation of public transport is mixed together with car lanes bringing it to halt and making inattractive in the times it was supposed to help the most (high traffic periods). High portion of single lane roads, houses built to the very edge of the road, kerbs in rural area roads, stone or bush fences at the vertical of your rear view mirror to protect pastures and meadows and basically any inch of private property from public access roads making it impossible to improve. Cars were poured into this inadequate situation without any considerable effort to develope proper and sustainable alternatives for many many many decades, and into the forseeable future. All aggravetad by the insufficient funds allocated to the maintainance of the roads so the road surfaces are in increasingly terrible state already, half or whole decades passing by until simple road faults fixed.

It is not the SUVs and EVs that caused this problem but decades of ignorance towards building a suitable and proper system that fits the conditions of Britain.
For those that want to follow, what are good online shopping alternatives?

I find that most people I talk to are drawn to Amazon simply because Amazon has managed to set an expectation of fast deliver, often as little as same-day delivery in areas that have a warehouse nearby (like the one I live in). I make every effort to shop local, or find alternative places to order online, but one cannot argue the convenience Amazon has created when it comes to speed and selection. I say that being an old fart who remembers when 6-8 weeks was standard delivery time.

Note I am not defending Amazon, abd frankly, I despise what they have done. The warehouse in my town was build about 6 years ago, and it has definitely had an impact on small businesses combined with the presence of chain retail giants. In most cases, when I need a specific tool for a job, or am trying to find out-of-season product (both happened recently), I have no choice but to turn to Amazon.

This may speak to the larger problem of the busy life we have built (or allowed to be built for us?), but perhaps that is another discussion.
How does this work retroactively on released products?

Say five years ago, I paid a company to build a house, who hired a contractor to build it and it was completed in a year. Nowadays, I open the door daily. Now the contractor goes to the company, saying that from January 1st, every time I open the door, the company has to pay a small fee to the contractor, because they built the house with the door five years ago.

How is that even legal, even in a B2B context?
As a company, you have no control over the number of installations. How can they even measure the number of installations for games released 5-10 years ago?

Large jumps in design language don't happen out of nowhere. Design is an iterative process that more often than not is limited by what technology can offer. Not to mention cultural acceptance.

Ask HN: What's your hardware capacity dedicated to test
Hi all,
For those of you who uses dedicated machines for testing (e.g. jenkins workers, gitlab runners), what is your hardware capacity? How much load are they going through? We are in the process of revisiting this capacity and we would love to know if there is some industry standard or best practices (number of cpu core per dev, ...).

> Another thing. China has more people that Europe and US combined and so does India. With your statement you are somewhat implying that we (European as Us citizen) have a right to pollute more per capita than Cinese and Indian citizens. I don't think that's fair.

So you've admitted China and India has more people, who want to consume more and produce more CO2 (don't make the mistake in thinking they are transitioning to renewables, they are adding them, but also adding shittons of coal power plants).

We have 2.3bn people that WANT to consume as much as the west per capita.

How is german economic suicide going to help? You bring down your own consumption for some moral reason, while completely ignoring what is happening in asia? How does that help anyone?

The weight difference of comparable ICE cars and EVs is sometimes surprisingly small when you look at the variant of the EV model with the smaller battery.

For example, the BMW X3 is 1670 kg. The Tesla Model Y (SR RWD) is 1778 kg.

You can get an older reasonably sized car which has an NCAP rating of 5.

Note bigger cars will have more mass and thus momentum & energy to dissipate, might be less nimble and certainly in the early days of SUV types were easier to roll.

Amazon actually pays significantly above the minimum wage, this frequently leads to complaints by businesses located near their plants that they have to hike their pay in response to still get workers.

Brand strategy practices serve one goal but involve adopting different channels and actions. Branding seems to be a principle on which both traditional and digital marketing professionals agree.

Indeed, branding is an important aspect of any business. What makes a difference is knowing how and when to implement effective strategies to gain a spot in a crowded market like the travel sector. Conventionally, branding requires a strategic understanding of target audience preferences and behavior, as well as continuous monitoring and adaptation to stay relevant. It’s easier said than done.

Back in the early '10s I was reading a report from a guy who had stellar credit and the card limits to go with them. He ran up about $100,000 of debt on his cards on purpose and stopped making payments. He then approached his bank to settle the debt and negotiated a 60% discount. The account was marked "paid by customer" so it never appeared on his on his credit report as a default. He did get dinged for missing payments though, but was $60,000 richer.

What Unity probably wants or needs is to take a cut off the large successes. That’s where all the money is.

The problem is that they aren’t involved in distribution.

This per/install model is trying to solve this by turning Unity into some kind of malware. A completely tone deaf move.

Why not build business relationships with the companies that have been successful with Unity? It’s in the interest of both sides that Unity and its ecosystem are stable, improving and growing.

Tell HN: New IRS guidance on software development for Section 174 amortization
For context see the previous two HN discussions on this topic:

Ask HN: How are you handling Section 174 changes for bootstrapped companies? (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34627712)

Software firms across US facing tax bills that threaten survival (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35614313)

In those two threads there was some confusion as to whether or not all software development would need to be amortized under the new Section 174 rules, or if only "research and development" specific activities would need to be amortized.

Well the IRS has recently released new guidance on the topic in Notice 2023-64 (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-23-63.pdf) and the results are not looking good. Based on the guidance it appears that almost all software development related activities will fall under Section 174 amortization rules. See the quoted section below:

"Section 5.03 - Activities that are treated as software development. Activities that are treated as software development for purposes of § 174 generally include but are not limited to:

(1) Planning the development of the computer software (or the upgrades and enhancements to such software), including identification and documentation of the software requirements;

(2) Designing the computer software (or the upgrades and enhancements to such software);

(3) Building a model of the computer software (or the upgrades and enhancements to such software);

(4) Writing source code and converting it to machine-readable code;

(5) Testing the computer software (or the upgrades and enhancements to such software) and making necessary modifications to address defects identified during testing, but only up until the point in time that:

(a) In the case of computer software developed for use by the taxpayer in its trade or business, the computer software is placed in service; and

(b) In the case of computer software developed for sale or licensing to others, technological feasibility has been established, product masters(s) have been produced, and the computer software is ready for sale or licensing to others; and

(6) In the case of computer software developed for sale or licensing to others (or the upgrades and enhancements to such software), production of the product master(s)."
‎‎

What is not considered software development: marketing and promotional activities, maintenance activities that do not give rise to upgrades and enhancements, distribution activities, and customer support activities.

If the law stays like this it's going to create a record keeping nightmare for software companies that will have to start tracking how much labor is going into the development of new software or features (subject to section 174) vs bug fixes (not subject to section 174).
it's not "almost", it's literally no device: there are no hosts and there are no cables. And it was killed officially this year, too.
This is, IMHO, a very weak argument.

"Applying your principles to these hypothetical situations might lead to a situation you, western consequentialist, would feel is abhorrent."

Yeah, we all know our feelings and intutions about what is right and wrong, and our reasonings, may not always match. Who hasn't felt guilt, or at least unease, about hurting someone you love, even though you knew it was for the best?

This is basically saying:

"Your best effort to reason a moral code from first principles doesn't match modern western moral intuitions about justice"

That's no challenge for consequentalism. It might be a challenging decision for someone trying to implement a justice system, but all justice systems are full of weird compromises and grey areas.

Generally true, but if you have a lot and people know you need to liquidate, you perhaps shouldn't rule out losing a little compared to your marks.
Yeah it isn't clear to me from the details currently available that this is much more than a PR stunt.

A quick Google tells me that Germany has around 15,000 petrol filling stations and already has around 90,000 public charging points.

Even if we assume that not a single petrol filling station has a charging point...and also assume that the not yet even proposed law is going to require a minimum of 2 charging points per station...that still only increases the supply by 30%.

We can all imagine variations on those parameters that make it look better or worse. Maybe they'll be required to have parity in numbers between petrol & EV pumps? But without anything concrete about the law, it is hard to know what there is to even discuss here yet.
It does that.

Every iPhone with USB C has DisplayPort alternate mode, it was not particularly hard to do because all these Apple Axx SoC have a DisplayPort output just in case it lands in an Apple TV later.
Yeah, I came here to ask if the professionals in this field draw a clear distinction between icons and emojis. I did a quick search in there for names of icons for which in my little frontend projects I use like Bootstrap Icons, and the results seemed fine. So, are icons and emojis really all the same things? Because, if so, Openmoji seems to offer quite a bit more elements to pick from.

Yes. But if you stick everything into a single .exe, the user can't interfere.
Why do they call employees, "associates"?
That’s exactly the point. If you have up to X days, you hold US treasuries with maturities of up to X days.

You can also add clauses to the contract that allow earlier redemption into the underlying securities with redemption less than X days.

There’s a lot of ways to skin this cat and still pocket the spread in the general case.
JSON and YAML aren't programming languages. You can build a programming language on top of them, just as Lisp is built on top of S-expressions, but the underlying data representation isn't a programming language alone.

Yeah, my last Android experience was a Pixel C tablet, not a bad bit of hardware, but abandoned by Google with broken GPU drivers (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/71522801?pli=1)

(Not a hardware problem, older OS versions had been OK, and I eventually got it working with LineageOS for a while)
It’s physically harmful in the long term, can lead to serious vascular problems if left untreated.

In fact it turns out that REM sleep can sometimes compensate for apnea in some people, that is, the onset of REM can happen more quickly. Some people can get enough REM sleep even with apnea.

To be clear, ultimately all of these things can become problems, I’m just disputing that lost REM is the main health concern. It’s one concern, but AFAIK, in the long term venous damage is what will kill you.

For 40US$ I can get this: https://anywearanywhere.store/products/men-spring-fall-casua... (5 tops + 3 bottoms).
No underwear, of course. No shoes. No coat. No toiletries.

Would this be enough for me to totally ditch checked baggage on the inbound flight? Probably not. So I will pay 40US$ but probably still need more baggage than what I can carry in a backpack.

And for sure I will need baggage to take stuff back home (actually when I go to Japan I carry an empty bag in my checked baggage just to fill it up with stuff that I buy in Japan, but of course YMMV).

So are my 40$ really having some positive impact on the environment, or is this more like virtue signalling but with little actual result?

Compare this with Lufthansa, for example, who lets you pay a surcharge to your ticket in order to use eco-friendly fuel (https://www.lufthansagroup.com/en/responsibility/climate-env...).

If you are extremely concerned about sustainable travelling, maybe the Lufthansa alternative is just more practical (for the customer) while it is really difficult to determine if the Japanese idea is actually better for the environment (they also reduce textile waste, but for me it is really difficult to figure out how much of an impact this has).
