iOS text editing with the tap and hold to move cursor is a nightmare, and couple that with its extremely poor spelling correction which I have to go to google with the misspelled word amd have it predict instead
Right this is my point - some people consume news media this way and then conflate fact&ficton.

Even others in media were a bit surprised at the fabrications - https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/cancel-culture-haruk...

"If I were in the audience of Minhaj’s show, I would have assumed he was telling the actual truth, not an emotional one."

So I think simply glossing over this as "he's just a comedian, get a life guys" is being far too generous to the discernment of the average viewer, and giving Minhaj & others like him far too much leeway.
>Apparently he is unstinting in collecting royalties on the works in question

And your point is? Just because he didn't like some of his previous work anymore, or didn't appreciate the shallow focus on "past hits", he should have forfeited his publishing rights for those songs going forward?

This is some next level entitlement.

>And he did, after all, play them in concert, though condescendingly

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

He haven't signed any contract that he'd play those songs. He haven't made any promise to play those songs. He didn't feel like playing those songs. He wanted to focus on more recent and less obvious stuff than past hits parade, as if he's in some tribute band. Some in the audience still insisted on the hits.

Is it not enough that he accepted that demand and played them. Did he also have to like it or put on a fake smile?

This is some next level entitlement.

You can drag around the whole screen btw. If you need to go further just hold your finger at the side of the screen and it will work as if you hold the arrow keys on a keyboard.

I believe it also responds to velocity, so quick swipes will get you quite far.

On iPad you can also do a two finger drag.

Of course, we pay as well. It's in the fuel. And in the vehicle tax. But did you ever ask yourself where those taxes go to? I'd rather they went into sustainable transportation, for instance the new 45€ train ticket as opposed to the bureaucrats' salaries.

This has no OS (at least that you can access). I have one, have written a number of drafts with it, and regret both purchasing it and it not being a better machine. The software is really bad and there is no way to tinker with it, no way to write custom software. Indeed, in the last update before it became abandonware, they made updates cryptographically signed to make it more difficult for people to jailbreak it. The hardware is pretty and the keyboard is nice but the battery is really bad. It lasts only a few hours and takes forever to charge. And if the battery is depleted, it takes too long to get to the charge level necessary for using it even while plugged. Please don't buy this.
Bighead would never have made such a mistake.

You don’t gain know-how though. You get acquainted with the concept and gain knowledge by watching or reading a thing. But until you do it and discover it’s intricacies you don’t have know-how.

My point being that many people stop at watching/reading/discussing and don’t actually go in and do the thing they want learn. They’ll never really learn it until they can do it.

This looks very good, but the marketing copy (the README is written as such) is horrendous.

This HN thread is already full of people saying "this looks brittle", "maintenance nightmare", &c. because the README spends so long trying to convince you that this product is a huge, multifaceted kitchen sink. People want simplicity, noone is looking for a plethora of things they need to run, why would you ever try and sell anything as that?

Most of the "features" they enumerate are either:

- optional pg extensions that are available in normal pg by default

- orchestration software that one might use to deploy HA pg clusters in a distributed / k8s type env anyway (i.e. it's not extra, it's just your underlying infra templates - e.g. Terraform, Patroni, &c.)

The only thing I really see there that is "not-really-needed-kitchen-sink-extras" is the observability stack (grafana, loki, &c.)
Brightline is the sweat spot for HSR in the US, between population centers annoyingly long to drive but annoyingly short to fly. Long haul air transport isn’t going away, but these short hops are the best places to build HSR. Tangentially, this frees up airport gates for routes that cannot be accomplished by rail.

My understanding is that their future rail segments are focused on these routes.

No, I think the author gets this mixed up.

> I don’t have the mental capacity, and desire, to participate in such games. I have moral principles, and I believe there is more than one way to achieve my goals. And the way I chose, might be harder and longer, but more aligned with what I want.

I can understand and respect that. You just need to be clear on that a successful approach likely has to be within one standard deviation from the norm for the era in order to be successful. There are exceptions, of course. However, those typically involve very unique products.

There was an era when selling via catalogs by mail was the way to do it. Heck, even door-to-door selling of encyclopedias and vacuum cleaners was a thing. Today, that approach is at least three SD's away from the norm. In other words, it would be difficult, expensive and likely pointless.

You've put a lot of work into engineering your product. Don't waste that effort by jumping into the ocean while also trying to invent a new way to swim. Get your business solidly off the ground. You can then decide what you want from a frame of reference that includes experience and a bit of financial freedom to explore interesting options.

Another way of saying: Don't waste time. Get results. That's how you buy time and freedom to make other choices.
I suspect that stone dust generally will be found to be similarly harmful to asbestos.

Asbestos is apparently worse because of the sharp edges of the particles, but if I put any angle grinder dust under the microscope I see plenty of sharp bits too.

I think the actually harmful thing is that the dust is 'fresh' rather than being the result of years of chemical weathering which tends to smooth off the sharpest pointiest bits at nanometer scale.
But it doesn't. It makes the unsubstantiated claim that shaken baby syndrome is junk science. It isn't. It's a real thing, at least according to the Mayo Clinic, which I consider more trustworthy on this topic than The Guardian.

It may well be that the evidence for SBS in this particular case was bogus, but it does not follow that SBS is bogus in general.

>I hate being someone who perpetuates the status quo.

I've worked making gears, in a machine shop, a "job" shop. When you enter the world of production, you encounter a mix of machines from WW2 onward. These machines are those that have been making parts for longer than most people have been alive. They're not optimal, of course, but the cost of change is far, FAR larger than you can possibly imagine from the outside.

If you have a machine that does a $5000 operation on a $100,000 part, and you do 50 of those parts per year. A single scrapped part can take out years of profit. That machine might do be used on 100 similar jobs of that nature over time. Thus replacing that machine, or "upgrading" its controls could upset all those apple-carts, over time. This is why manufacturing production environments are highly resistant to change. One of the hobbs we used to cut gears was made in 1909, and it was only 1/2 way worn down. Most of them were from the 1960s and onward.

The computer, and the software that runs on it, is a tool. Thanks to logging, and the general ability to undo changes, the costs are far lower where software is concerned, but the same forces are at play. You have to adapt yourself to the found environment, and be careful when introducing changes, especially un-necessary changes.

Not at all, I actually wear a mask when just sweeping the garage. :) I certainly think there should be regulation requiring masks in industries like this — and I will definitely wear a mask the next time I’m around any sort of countertop dust.

I’m mostly just curious about the science, and whether/why it is more binary than I’m understanding, vs. just taking some random HN strangers’ words.

From TFA: "According to the report, Bitcoin mining can reduce global emissions by up to 8% by 2030. This can be done by converting the world’s wasted methane emissions into less harmful emissions. The report cited a theoretical case saying that using captured methane to power Bitcoin mining operations can reduce the amount of methane vented into the atmosphere."

"“We have shown that while Bitcoin is a consumer of electricity, this does not translate to it being a high emitter of carbon dioxide and other atmospheric pollutants. Bitcoin can be the catalyst to a cleaner, more energy-abundant future for all,” the authors wrote."

...except unless they're getting their power from green sources, miners consuming so much electricity absolutely does make bitcoin mining a higher emitter of CO2 and other atmospheric pollutants than many other outfits.

What they need is extra keys to move cursor by word, cut and paste. The tap and wait for menu sucks. You just need good old kb emulation for those things.

I think you misunderstood the proposed solution. If you look at the video, the magnification is offset. The improvement is that the cursor is only visible in the magnification.

> But an IDE from around 2005 is nothing more than a dumb notepad in comparison to a modern JetBrains IDE.

Which IDE is this?

I've used IDEs from the mid 90s (Watcom C/C++, Visual Studio 5.5, Delphi, C++ Builder) and from 2005, and they did a lot more than just let you edit code and run make.

In 2005, all major IDEs had autocomplete, for example. They also had jump to definition, jump to help (remember help pages? .chm files?), syntax highlighting, source-level debugging, inline with the source code ...

I mean, what exactly do you think they are missing that makes them a rudimentary text editing tool?

Sorry, but the idea that the musician should be a "song-and-dance" man, pleasing the audience, or else they should forfeit their "vigorous pursuit of royalties", is some next level entitlement.

It's also more of what a label producer would say to made-by-the-company boy bands, or can be said about market friendly "entertainer" types, and tribute bands, not something that should in any culture should apply to artists.
You cant verify the stats because like in politics, the question is part of the charade. An example of what I mean is carrying out a survey in a poor part of a country, or during the middle of the night outside a hospital or night club. So many entities have their special relationships with their pollsters, and the pollsters are excellent at identifying the best ways to manipulate a survey.

And with the ease at which to produce an app, especially with ChatGPT (if the hype is to be believed), are people just competing against the app stores own developers, to rinse them of their very last drop of income?

Its not like anyone can check each and ever app in the appstore is it?

>So how do people who are not major publishers actually figure out whether Google is unfairly hiding your app?

I used to spend money on adwords when it first came out and I couldnt verify any of the people who clicked the links, and nothing was converting to enquiries let a sale, so I pulled the plug.

Here in the UK we have/had something called the Thomson local directory, its a variation of the old yellow pages, pre internet times.

So I used to spend money advertising in both Thomson and Yellow pages, and before the next Thomson directory was due to be released, I started to get lots of enquiries pertaining to the advert I had in the Thomson. They were phone enquiries, couldnt be specific about the IT hardware they were having problems with and wouldnt even let me come out to them for free to take a look, and even offering stupidly cheap rates, like £10 an hour, they never would commit. I would also ask them where they got my number and they would all tell me the Thomson local directory.

Fast forward 6 weeks, get a call from Thomson telling me its time to renew my advert with them, I called them out, and never heard from them again.

They relied on the suckers like me, not being able to verify whether the caller was genuine or not.

There are lots of businesses, some big names, carrying out crimes. The Law protects these criminals, partly because its an offence to hack them!

And they have big budgets for big law firms who can employ the services of companies like Lexis Nexis for their case law research.

The law and legal profession, including judges are just white collar criminals.

Not one of them have got the public to sign a contract stating an individual would adhere to the laws of the land.

So if it doesnt feel right, dont do it and dont be talked into doing it.

Edit. Dont for one minute think I'm against businesses per se, but in the scheme of things, at least here in the UK my life experiences boil down to this. Employees of the state carry out the physical and mental crimes on kids and adults, businesses do people over with what they have at their disposal, like poor workmanship, fudging stats, or the small print!
> Because we have a public health care system, funded by taxes, having a large number of young men out of the work force (not paying taxes) and using the health care system effectively means my taxes, everyone's taxes, are higher.

That is true with or without publicly funded healthcare.
Tech used to be much more altruistic and optimistic. People hacking away on things for almost no pay, to genuinely make things for people better, with the belief that technology would unlock a lot of flourishing.

Now, it's the most lucrative industry in the world, attracting lots of grifters and Wall St. types whose only concern is making a lot of money, and the dystopian downsides of technology have become ever more apparent.

Some people are jaded from how bright the future looked to how it's looking now.

I have ME/CFS and the fact that we're expensive to the general public seems to be the only reason there is any public money spent on treatments and cures at all. However, Canada and others are finding that medically assisted suicide offers an even cheaper alternative solution. So instead of money spent on treatments and cures we get subtle and not so subtle encouragements to kill ourselves, and I expect the problem to keep getting worse. I.e. I don't think the actual emergent behaviour for shared healthcare costs is as altruistic as you appear to except.

Is there any evidence of a sizeable effect from wearing masks outdoors, especially considering the risk of transmission outdoors is so much lower than indoors[0]? I thought this practice was debunked early in the pandemic. Even indoors, the effect is small at best[1], but outdoors the volume of air and other factors contribute to the near-impossibility of effectively transmitting any serious kind of live viral load.

> You don’t gain know-how though

What is know-how if not knowing how to do something? I've learned how to do stuff from watching and then at a later point doing the thing proving that I had know-how. I knew how to do it before doing it.

Edit: Example from when I was a kid: I played a game and struggled with a particular kind of monster, always took damage from it. Me doing it a lot of time didn't lead to knowing how to beat it. Then I watched my brother play it once, after that I never took damage from that monster again. Me watching lead to know-how instantly, doing didn't help, watching helped.
There was also an in vitro study that showed ivermectin killed SARS-CoV-2 viral particles. Of course the conspiracy theorists left out dose information, which would be so high that it would just kill you outright.

So the truth behind the two halves of the ivermectin conspiracy were basically: if you have parasites, getting rid of them will help your COVID prognosis; and if you don't mind being dead first, we can prevent COVID from killing you.

As I layman, I am more concerned that drastic alterations to the oral microbiome could have many negative downstream effects on health, from everything to digestion (naturally) to heard disease and neurodegenerative disorders. All of which show some correlation to an altered oral microbiome. We barely understand the connections, but that is obviously an argument in favor of caution.

I'm grateful that there are people out there willing to be guinea pigs for stuff like this, but I definitely wouldn't touch this kind of product until there are years (ideally decades) of usage with systemic scientific investigation into immediate complications as well as long term health impacts.

The Path of Exile wiki moved off fandom to https://www.poewiki.net and has been very successful. If I google "path of exile wiki" it's the top result for me (in an anonymous window). The creators of PoE even agreed to host the new wiki. The move to the new wiki was heavily supported by the subreddit for PoE, often pointing people that posted links to the fandom version to the new version. I remember there being guides to on how to block fandom with ublock, how to add the new wiki as a search provider in Firefox, etc.
