Some misinformation is misinformation, it can be refuted.

Some "misinformation" is information where there are multiple perspectives, and the "mis" classification is because the ruling party is on the opposite side. This is why censorship is chosen, because it cannot be refuted. The correctness or incorrectness is in the eye of the beholder.
> Hint: it's not the things you do in a normal kitchen.

No, it's something with much greater control over quality, safety and consistency than I could ever hope achieve in the kitchen. The difference between process chemistry and cooking is like between civil engineering and playing with mud in your back yard.

Now it's true that industrial processing of food optimizes for different features than my own cooking (e.g. shelf-stability, bacteriological safety, process consistency, and of course, cost, vs. taste customized to my liking) - but that alone does not warrant saying "highly processed = bad", or playing motte-and-bailey with the "definition" of the term.

EDIT: see also the edit to comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37632381 for an actual definition of "processed food" as this term is used in the industry and regulations, which reinforces my point, and happens to cover everything you do to food in your kitchen.

100%. That is a perfect example and I'm looking forward to more of it when we move back. In addition to irony, there's also exaggeration. My wife thinks it takes me longer than normal to tie my shoes, so whenever we're about to go somewhere she'll say something like "We're leaving in 20 minutes so you should have started putting your shoes on 10 minutes ago."

Ask HN: Am I getting fair market value for my early shares
Throwaway for obvious reasons.

4 Years ago, I invested in a startup, early phase, nothing crazy. They're getting ready to do their series A, and there are a bunch of SAFES + whatnot in the way.

Someone offered me a 50% premium over my original share price - and I only have to sell half my shares. This means that I'd receive my base back, a 50% return on top- and could let the remaining 50% ride.

Thing is.. I have no way of valuing these things. An IPO definitely is not in the future for this company. They're at best a buyout target.

So HN... would it be crazy for me to do this? Is this brilliant? I need hivemind help here - because I honestly have no clue.

You get a couple of years of security updates, and new software starts to use the newest features to the fullest in the meantime, so when you take the plunge, it's always a bigger, more worthy jump.

You can safely leave the device behind then, to use as an emergency phone, if the need arises.

So, 1-2 years is not that crucial, but after that you really start to feel the gap. Same for Macs.
I came here for an analysis of the usability of Apple //s and TRS-80's, or about doing useful things like text editing on CP/M machines.

I'm disappointed.
Talking about how strange the current state of Windows API is, there are actually 3 different APIs that can move the mouse cursor: SetCursorPos [1], SendInput [2], and mouse_event [3].

Applications might react differently to input events generated by these APIs. For example, in Windows 11's display settings, the position of screens can not be dragged if input events are coming from SetCursorPos, but works fine if using SendInput. Microsoft's own PowerToys uses a mixture of both under certain (complex) conditions, but I never found out the actual difference between them.

I was writing an application that sends mouse input from a Linux machine to a Windows one (similar to Synergy), and I originally received mouse movement events that are accelerated (with user or system-defined acceleration factors), and I found out that there are no Windows API (three of them) that accepts relative movements without further acceleration (i.e. Windows will always apply further acceleration, making the mouse hard to use). I ended up directly hook into evdev to get raw mouse movements and let Windows accelerate them.

Old people are filled with rage too, so much useless rage. Most of it is from corporate news media, who work them up about the latest impending world catastrophe that isn’t really a threat to them. If it bleeds it leads. It’s all just very overt ragebait, but the typical tv viewer is too ignorant to know better. TV news is just operant conditioning. Social media didn’t invent engagement (enragement? Enragematainment? Fear Tv?).
I had the same reaction. There is a blog post that mentions iand from dangerous prototypes is involved. There are posts from Dangerous prototypes on Twitter discussing the board. It seems like a case of focusing on the hardware instead of the marketing.

> You have to remember soy milk is basically the left over shit from making tofu. All the healthy shit is left in the pulp including the flavour.

Not true.

First, you make soy milk by rehydrating soybeans, blending them with water, cooking the mixture, and then straining it. The remains are called okara. If you add a coagulant to the milk and cook it further, you'll get tofu curds, from which tofu is made. The remaining liquid is whey.

> Tofu has flavour

Flavour of raw tofu depends on the type of coagulant used.

> If it’s 100% national it’s disgusting. Most of what you buy in the super markets have added sugar.

Not all 100% natural soy milk is considered distasteful by everyone; taste is subjective.

Sugar is added for people who don't like the taste of a natural plant based milk - as a taste enhancement to make these milks taste sweeter and more palatable, akin to the naturally occurring lactose (sugar) in cow's milk. Sugar can improve the body, texture, and mouthfeel of plant-based milks, making them feel richer or creamier.

Not all plant-based milks contain added sugars. Many brands offer "unsweetened" versions for those who prefer no added sugar or are monitoring their sugar intake.
And yet you don't use different file systems for small files vs large files, for text vs movies. One assumes that a filesystem can handle all of that kind of data. But one layer above we don't want all those under a unified interface.
Well, I have them, but they arent really Win2003 but XP.SP1, and they seems to be incomplete. If you have better source, I am all ears :D

Anyway, those sources are handy to check some internals of Win2003. I have few binaries hex edited so they are tweaked to my needs. Like Desktops 2.0, IPMON.DLL helper to accept DNS server as 127.0.0.1 from netsh and few more probably.

I would LOVE to have Win2003 sources :)
Isn’t that how too much demand for limited supply works? Taxes aren’t that high in California, they are higher than average but that’s it. In fact, given that taxation is extremely progressive, you can wind up paying less in taxes in CA then states like Alabama (where taxation is very regressive) if you don’t make a lot of money.
For those who say things like "what about USSR or North Korea": the problem there is/was not the socialism (or communism) but the authoritarianism. They're different axes on the political compass. Authoritarian state socialism is but one of many forms. Social democracy is structurally anti-authoritarian. "Laissez-faire" policies - the pseudo-populist alternative - actually gravitate toward government/industry collusion, often in the form of faux privatization of government functions. That's a cornerstone of fascism, which has its own sordid history and also seems to be where we're headed.

Also, learn the difference between a political system and an economic one. Of course they're related (see "collusion" above), but it's a mistake to act as though they're the same thing.
Liechtenstein? Andorra? Luxembourg?
My hot take: Code quality is not measured by formatting issues, but by error resilience and number of actual bugs.

Much of modern linting and commit hooking is dedicated to checking whitespace placement, variable naming and function lengths but the well-formatted newly rewritten code is still buggy as hell - it just looks pretty
> But what is your base of comparison? I invite you to sample the produce a supermarket in a bigger German city has today in plant-based dairy/meat alternatives (soy and other). And then re-visit your opinion on this matter -- after bringing your taste bud's experience up to date, so to speak. ;)

I'm going to guess the difference will boil down entirely to German soy milk being... <horror_movie_music.wav> an ultra-processed product :).

Why is this important? Because two years ago the claim was the opposite in preprint.

We also don’t know if it is safe for this amount to be passed to newborn/infants which is why they urge caution of no BM for two days until further researched.

Newborns especially have fresh microbiomes and are being exposed to new things everyday and especially through BM. The first major time they are exposed to microbes is through delivery. Things like C-section and formula feeding prevent this rich exposure. Usually why we wait until the 6 month mark for certain vaccines, as the microbiome and immune system will be strong enough to fight.
> Some GA libraries[1][2] define types for the different kind of objects (grades)

That's nice!

This reminds of me things like, linear algebra libraries that will type-check matrices so that a 2x2 matrix can't be added to a 2x3 matrix (but then you can have a dynamic matrix that will error only in runtime), like https://nalgebra.org/ and others.
Excellent. By not teaching the younger generations about torrenting, we have failed them. Hopefully we can return to them being as active as they were in times past.

I'd wager Kagi has a lot of benefit in learning and finding solutions to issues where you don't know the correct terminology AND in tech where a lot of non-tech content is available (f.e. analytics)

With chairs it's also less of a benefit in regards to productivity but health and comfort. I'm also still rocking a 150€ chair from IKEA, totally viable and comfortable, but I do see the benefit in a chair that has a lot of configuration options because I am slightly too large for mine. Still means one needs to know how to configure it properly (which is 90% of the health change)

Hard to quantify comfortability since it really indirectly affects mentality.

Then again, I'm not really using search a lot when working so Kagi is obviously also nothing for me
If videos are bad then lectures are bad too, checkmate know-it-all professors.

Since everyone pulls stuff out of their ass on this topic here's my take: write things down on paper that you want to remember. Memorization is a big part of learning and physically writing with a pen enhances memorization.
> future promise is so big

Indeed! But as yet it is still just future promise - not much has materialized at large scale so far (to my knowledge - maybe copy writing? Seems to be a push back against obviously AI scripted content though).

A counter example might be spreadsheets - their introduction revolutionized book keeping (and lots of other things too). We wait to see whether AI will have a similar impact (I suspect it won't).
Yeah, I track ReactOS. Unfortunately, its not stable to my needs. I would really like it in better shape.. Im too old/tired to try to contribute to it sadly :(

Writing OS today is nightmare because of drivers. HW vendors are shady, HW is very complicated and whats worse, it changes often. You need army of skilled devs to handle that.
this reasoning assumes some kind of reasoned one on one debate, and does not take into account intentional "flooding the zone" tactics.
There was a company, Tactus, who developed a touch screen that had little physical bumps pop out of the screen to represent your keyboard. I’ve always wondered why it never caught on, but I’m sure the technology came with a host compromises. Anyhow, it always seemed like a neat idea. Perhaps it would even allow for a denser button arrangement, giving users their arrow keys back.

I never understood what backward compatibility was met by windows api not supporting >260 chars file paths. It will work just in the same was if you pass any short path and no old application expects a long path anyway.
I thought we did science and determined that telling people they're victims of misinformation is about the most useless way of trying to change their mind. Facebook experimented with refutation and it was a disaster, it had the opposite effect intended. At least that's what I heard, and given everything I know about human nature I believe it.

There's tons of professional writers though, not to mention business users, lawyers, and other professionals that do lots of writing. It's pretty obvious that desktops are going the way of the dodo, and the aforementioned users need to write lots of text on mobile devices. I don't think modal text entry is any more onerous to learn than a graphic artist learning Blender or Photoshop, or an engineer learning Solidworks.
Disinformation campaigns are asymmetrical warfare. It takes a huge amount of effort to undo the damage caused by disinfo, while it's trivial to create more disinformation (and this was already true before generative AI became a thing).

So, no. If we can prevent it from being created or launched, or if we can prevent it from reaching its audience, then, and only then, information can win.

What in the Bible can you show to be misinformation? You seem to be making the same mistake as the censors: that you personally do not believe something to be true means it is misinformation.

If you just want a good example, one of the first best sellers was Malleus Maleficarum, the book that revived belief in witchcraft (belief in which, contrary to popular misconceptions, had been suppressed by the church for most of the medieval period) and lead to the witch burnings of the early modern era.
It erroneously assumes there is a willingness to enter honest debate.
The author is Phil Plait, Bad Astronomer. He is writing for an audience that is not as technically well-informed as most of HN, so it’s no surprise to see his writing called out as “pedantic” by… a bunch of pedants! He’s helping people understand the world a bit better and that’s a great thing to do.

I recognized the style before I noticed his name. Phil was writing online as The Bad Astronomer at least as far back as 1999. I started reading his blog after it appeared on my WordPress “Blogs of the Day” ranking site in 2005.

> As I’ve tried to point out in my reporting over the years, scalpers and Ticketmaster are engaged in a neverending game of cat-and-mouse, but the more difficult Ticketmaster ostensibly makes it to buy tickets, the easier it is for dedicated professionals to buy them while fans are left disappointed.

Almost seems like Ticketmaster allowing resale of tickets creates a secondary marketplace where Ticketmaster earns twice for fees, and the resellers make a big buck on market inefficiencies.

Perhaps artist should either decide whether they want to sell tickets at a fixed price or at an auction.

If fixed price, then it’s first come first serve, no reselling. If bid, then it’s whoever pays the highest. No reselling.

Airline tickets aren’t allowed to be resold. Name must match ID. Prices are dynamic. No reason why concert prices couldn’t be the same.

Or 50/50 fixed vs bid.

In general auctions seem the fairest in any marketplace where the price is an indicator of supply vs demand.

However not fair because artist gives an impression they’re only there for the rich turning some of their fans away.

But I legit dislike Ticketmaster. Their ridiculous fees and dark patterns UI infuriate me. The best I can do is vote with my wallet.
Lets add San Marino, Monaco and the Vatican for good measure.

All those states have very specific historical reasons why they dodged unification with their surrounding countries. The most surreal being Monaco's sovereignty saved by Grace Kelly's fame as an actress moving American public opinion to pressure France not to swallow it.

Also, note, that all the towns you listed are (historically) worthless border towns wedged between titans who would violently oppose their neighbor swallowing them. Sure, now those microstates are rich, but historically they were worthless and not worth war with a powerful neighbor to take over.
Similarly ... the entire state of Maine, even its very north-most point, is to the south of Seattle's even southern-most point. A lot of US maps are tilted a few degrees, especially schoolroom maps, making the East coast and Maine seem much further north than it is.
Yeah, I am aware of that problem. Windows seems to store TIME differently that UNIX so it should be all right here. But I have dozens of old Linux 32 bit servers here and there...

As for RAM, well I have 16GB RAM and its pretty much upper limit Win2003 can handle. Ideal seems to be 8GB because you will have more Pools and PTEs.
For todays web, limiting factor is per process 2GB limit (or 3GB on Linux).

I once wrote a tiny geometric algebra package for Julia for personal exploration. It was extremely ergonomic and played well to Julia's strengths.

Before doing that I was always very firmly in the visual/geometric side of the spectrum (vs the abstract/algebraic side) of understanding math and physics but the geometric algebra taught me the value of algebraic modes of thinking.
I disagree with this because intent is a significant factor to consider.

You can't "use disability as a baseball bat". Pressuring company to care for accessibility is done primarily to benefit the disabled. I'm just pointing out that it also happens to be the last lifeline for the rest of us.

There's the common meme of curb cutting, that you should care about accessibility because it helps everyone. My point is that the companies don't need to be gently nudged into cutting curbs; they already actively want to replace curbs with 2-meter fences, so they can put toll booths at regular intervals. Accessibility is the morally and legally backed way you can force them, kicking and screaming to make a cut curb instead, and as a side effect, prevent them from putting up the fence.
You're not wrong. Most countries are just one pissed off dictator away from being overtaken. Western democracies have shown they are not willing to go to war over small countries anymore. If Germany annexed Austria, again, Europe is not going to go to war against Germany to save it.

Austria, or any country can only be defended if they have their own nuclear weapons. That is the only deterrence that works.

Unless one of those larger countries breaks up, there will be no new sovereign territories.
