Take a look at the second chat at https://jaredheyman.medium.com/on-the-176-annual-return-of-a.... The vast majority of returns for YC are for the companies at the tippy top of that chart (Airbnb, Stripe, Dropbox and a few others).

YC certainly provides a nice package to founders. But they are definitely in the unicorn business.
According to Amazon's rebuttal to the charges, 80% of all retail is still brick-and-mortar. Amazon has tried it a few times, but remains essentially an online only service.

If your business depends on potential competitors for it's existence, then being eventually forced out seems like a pretty natural conclusion.

Absolutely true. The more successful they are, the more likely they'll abuse their influence
Thanks for sharing. I’m admittedly very bad at reading papers like this, but I can’t determine how they are getting to that figure.

I’ve never tested positive, despite having been repeatedly tested (at home and PCR), due to the nature of my situation. I do believe, though, that I have probably had it, even if the tests never showed it, because how could I not have?
And what does "well regulated militia" mean?
That reminds me of the "Got milk?" marketing campaign which is arguably very successful.

Remember that HN’s guidelines say that “if a story is spam or off-topic, flag it.”

This is neither spam nor off-topic. Flagging this means that you’re triggered.

The welfare of someone else’s child doesn’t register very highly on a majority of people’s radars beyond basic humanitarian considerations. How about government provided daycare and forcing the mother to work.
Ask HN: How do you report Bugzilla-type things to Big Tech like Amazon?
I don't think sitting down with some customer service rep gets it anywhere.

In my particular instance, when Amazon redesigned the Author Pages, they made the 'Sort by' not affect the URL anymore -- which means every single author page is now forever sorted by popularity, which means you can't bookmark a sort-by-newest.

So ... I can't get that message to anyone. Much like I couldn't get something to Google, or to Apple, or to Facebook, or so on.

And what I'm wondering is ... is there any sort of very well-hidden place for these Big Tech supergiants where you can actually file an issue or e-mail an address, but somehow legitimately pass along that someone in their org accidentally wiped out features?

Or is that stupid to even ask nowadays?

(I must admit, I am kind of hoping someone from Amazon will see this, make a little tweak, and that feature will come back. But ... that also shouldn't be the way it is.)

I can love my Apple devices and also wish for features.
It's nasty out there already. Not looking forward to this.
I put HAOS on an RPi4, plugged in a Zigbee/Z-Wave adapter, and never looked back. It runs 15ish Sengled RGB bulbs wonderfully, I've got all sorts of lights macro'd and timer'd (e.g. porch light comes on at sunset, turns off at midnight). Reliability is crazy, the UI is wonderful, I can access it from all sorts of devices and native apps...and there's a few other devices it sucks in too (air filter, Chromecasts, my NAS health, etc.) Now I haven't done any of the other actually useful projects I have in my backlog (thermostat, motion sensors, security cameras), but I'm extremely confident that HA can handle any that I throw at it.

All that being said, I find it a little odd that this article is somehow decrying HAOS as a worse alternative to a proprietary, anti-user black box developed by companies trying to squeeze more profit, just because they played fast-and-loose with some shell scripts at some point. (Aside: I just installed Homebrew on a new Mac today, and it's still just a curl | sh)

Most of the major consumer IoT vendors have had major security incidents (Wyze, Hue, Nest, Arlo, many others), and if nothing else, my little HAOS Rpi gets a little obscurity compared to the big names getting hit by script kiddies. Not to mention it's easy for me to keep it local-only and just join it to my Tailscale network.

But given all the allusions to HomeKit, I suspect the author has total faith in Apple to do it right (not a wholly misplaced assumption) and wants everything to just talk HomeKit.

Which we might actually get (in practice) as Matter makes inroads! Hell, I'd love for everything to talk HomeKit because HA can emulate a HomeKit Controller, and that means less cloud APIs. Win for everyone!
My worry exactly! Ideally we should need no jobs, and machines should do all the work.
The sleight of hand that has been perpetrated here is to conflate "value", as in the degree to which something is good, with "value", as in the market price for which something can be purchased, in order to suggest that markets reveal how good a thing is rather than merely how scarce/in demand it is.

Users are not being coerced. Not being offered the products you want is not coercion.
I downvoted this because you're ignoring iMessage. The fact that Apple purposefully not only gives Android users a shitty experience when communicating with iOS users, but also ensures that the presence of an Android user can break the experience for everyone else in a group chat (e.g. degraded videos now for everyone) in iMessage is a blatant attempt to abuse their monopoly power (in the US at least where iMessage dominates). I've been an Android user for years and am reluctantly seriously considering getting an iPhone solely because my friends bitch at me all the time when I'm in a group chat.

Apple doesn't even need to make an Android version of iMessage, they just need to support RCS instead of SMS/MMS: https://www.android.com/get-the-message/
Nope, no downsides.
There's consumption tax of 10%. Freelancers basically were not collecting it up until now. Businesses didn't care.

Now, businesses can deduct the 10%, so it looks like they can reduce their bills by 10% _so long as freelancers actually collect the consumption tax_. (This wasn't in place before! consumption tax was consumption tax, not a VAT-style system)

Now in theory a freelancer can also deduct the 10% from their expenses. But many freelancers have very little in the term of business expenses (their computer, basically). So freelancers all have just taken an income hit (in a period where inflation is making a lot of basic food more expensive than ever).

The perfect storm of extra taxes, lower purchasing power to begin with, and more and more industries demanding people become "freelance" contractors rather than employees.
There need to be reasonable limits as companies are not actually literal people, and their rights should be inferior to those of literal people. Treating companies as people and anything they do (eg in the lens of speech) has caused so much damage and has obviously just been an excuse for lawmakers to not have to make tough decisions.

An example that comes to mind is how if you get banned from Steam, you typically still retain the ability to access your past purchases, you just lose multiplayer, purchasing new content etc.

Similarly, companies should not be able to unilaterally discard the responsibilities they take on when they sell people things that require continuous service to operate.

This should be especially relevant in cases like with Philips Hue, now that they've chosen to bear the burden of even previous Hue owners' smart homes, they should not be able to willy nilly shed that in a way that renders the system non-functional. Any bans they make should just leave the hardware usable in the way that it already was.
Hue is so weird. They launched a rival product line and compete with themselves.

Hue is only a good product, because of the Lutron Aurora switches that I added on.

I'm convinced it's more practical over the long term to rip out all of my hue products and replace them with Lutron physical switches and normal lighting. Then your light fixtures don't have to adapt to hue, all your lighting controls work on a single platform, and Lutron is a great company that always has made great products.
So it isn't anticompetitive to remove access to the marketplace if you charge a lower price than Amazon does?
You’re downvoted because this claim is worse than an insane conspiracy theory. It’s just mind-blowingly stupid.

Yes.
Long overdue. Amazon charges unfair seller fee for listing, closing and referral. We end up paying 27-32% for each apparel sold. We've been advertising on their website since 2021, every day and lately the results are just poor. Amazon should be held accountable for their business practices. It has become a platform that doesn't favour the seller one single bit.
I won't claim any expertise in the licensing side of things -- but there's a fully working product there that people can take a run with. If you want to build a business on it and thus grow this, AFAIK, the Apache 2.0 license permits that.

That was always my goal with this -- my team is not in the business of product development. Still, there was (and is) an opportunity to build the basis for an app that the community could either maintain or an entrepreneur could use.

Either way, if it spreads the tech far and wide to help more people like Lance, we all win.

Possession is nine tenths of the law. It's not someone else's child if it's in your house and you need a genetic test to deny responsibility.

Agreed, AMD and Intel are much easier to rely on. I’ve never had it nicer on Linux than I do now with a primary AMD GPU and a secondary NVIDIA that I can use for games or CUDA, or pass to a VM.

It feels great finally having bleeding edge kernels and Wayland compositors, with the guarantee of a Linux or Windows VM’s stable driver if something breaks for the NVIDIA blob, and my desktop stays operational regardless.
my lights turn themselves on gradually, with the sunset. They also turn themselves off if they're still on late at night, or when I leave the house.
Normally pixels belonging to other processes aren't visible to you. There have been incidents in the past where (usually due to a driver bug) processes could grab pixels from other processes' textures/render targets, but normally you're only supposed to be able to get those pixels by asking the OS (usually its compositor specifically) for them.

I think this side channel partly relies on being able to stack the iframe on top of attacker-controlled image content. Preview.app will be at an unknown position on the screen, and the Chrome.app window could also be at any position and move, so it's much harder to imagine a way to apply this attack in that scenario.
My good friend from South Africa tells me how she and her husband miss cooking with mutton, which they find more flavorful and satisfying than lamb. What happens to the mutton-aged sheep here?”

Just to clarify: lamb is far more common in South Africa than mutton (aged sheep) and most people don't differentiate between the two. Maybe it's the flavour of the lamb that they're referring to that differs between the countries.

The term mutton is overloaded: in South Asia, I believe it refers goat.

With those devices, you shouldn't need a product-specific app. There will be edge cases and some interesting implementations which actually need the extra features of course, but in general, you should be able to connect them to a dedicated bridge device or a home-assistant server and that's it. Those can update the firmware of many devices if needed and should expose the available devices as switches / dials / colour selectors.

I mean, ideally you buy a thing, connect it to your existing controller and never see anything with the company logo or their app.
A few years ago, the Hue app was redesigned. I never did figure out how to use it.
Before concluding that the NHS health record is the only option, you should consider industry standards like USB, which in some cases have worked well. We must have a failure-and-improvement cycle in case the standard is bad and fundamentally doesn’t work. We forgo that cycle when the government takes up the cause, even worse yet when the regulators are captured by some collusive fiend.
Stripe, Paddle and Lemonsqueezy are good choices.

Keep it simple in the beginning just set up subscriptions/billing and a few basic plans to get users signing up and working out the flow since it sounds like your first time.

Lemonsqueezy and Paddle handles taxes out of the box (Stripe is working on a tax solution). It sounds like most jurisdictions have thresholds you have to break before you have to pay sales tax. It varies greatly so it's probably worth a little extra cost to have that covered from the start. But early on I'm not sure it's completely necessary.

What framework are you building on?

Presumable the hundreds of thousands, or maybe even millions of people in China who are going to die if they invade Taiwan, due to all the weapons that the US gives Taiwan and will continue to give them to defend themselves.

And possibly even more that that if and when either the USA or surrounding Pacific Asia countries get directly involved against China.

Those US bases aren't there for show.

Instead, they are they to shoot down invading forces from China, if they start an invasion.
Hold on mutton is goat isn't it? Why does the article say it is just older lamb?
Because of these questions, I have now downloaded and tried:

Firefox Developer (119.0b1), Chrome (117.0.5938.92), Opera (102.0.4880.56), Edge (117.0.2045.43).

Turning off all other programs (without crashing Windows), ranking for trying to drag the selection square ~2 inches x 2 inches (on a 1920 x 1080 laptop with the above noted characteristics) without doing anything else. Did the drag back and forth TL-BR, BL-TR 5-6 times to get a feel for general timing (cannot claim I used a stopwatch):

Edge: ~1 sec response before square changes

Chrome: ~1.5 sec response before square changes

Opera: ~1.5 sec response before square changes

Firefox: ~2 sec response before square changes

From my super low-end perspective, Edge is surprisingly responsive (maybe optimized for Windows?)

Edit: From another perspective, looking at the Dev Tools (what I actually care about), Edge is pretty hilarious, it has 72 errors on its default landing page (including this is not a "TrustedScriptURL"). Opera only has 2 "Uncaught (in promise)" and both Google and Firefox have 0.

There's something comforting about the idea that Microsoft still does not trust Microsoft. ("Left hand meet right hand. Begone fool, we have no hands!") The more things change...
Section VII of the 1964 Civil Rights act:

It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer -
(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin;

If read like a “normal” person would, it would suggest that this hiring preference based upon race was illegal. However if you read it like a Supreme Court judge who was legislating from the bench in the 1970’s, it says the law was intended to advance African Americans and can be used to advance them. That creative interpretation has yet to be overturned.
The one thing I really wish they could do colorwise is the classic "submarine dark red so it doesn't ruin your night vision" thing. The red really doesn't get deeper past a fairly modest point, it just gets dimmer.
AI is very far from a "core issue" in those strikes, but merely something that is being thrown around as a bargaining chip (the actual issue is the streaming business and how it affects the entertainment economy). Not a single writer or actor to date has lost their job because of or been replaced by AI.
At this point, I would not be surprised if having two judges per case, randomly selected from the community, from parents who have successfully had at least three children leave the nest while still remaining on speaking terms, was a more reliable method of justice.
Just don't buy this stuff. A regular hand-operated light switch works fine and costs like 50 cents.
Private APIs and anti-tracking mechanisms are part of the operating system, not apps. As long as Apple's services don't get those same access, neither does any other app from a 3rd party app store.
A system that does not incarcerate anyone for any reason would be much preferable to the atrocities that are the current criminal justice systems in most of the global west (and especially of course the United States).
Same in South Africa...."mutton" usually refers to lamb. almost no one has a "lamb curry" or "lamb bunny" (Google it). It's "mutton curry" or a "mutton bunny".
The expression "flooding with disinformation" is the hallmark of biased reporting. Why is only one side considered as "disinformation" while the other side is assumed to be only talking the truth? The only conclusion I can reach is that the economist is doing here the very same thing they're accusing the other side.
They do care about getting screwed over. In my experience though they forget about it pretty fast and/or just feel overwhelmed and powerless about the situation. Maybe they'll avoid a specific brand after a bad experience, but they won't be checking over specs or considering requirements for the next thing they buy that rips them off.
Vertical integration is fine as long as there are competitors at each layer.
Not only that, there are many of us that are contributing to the problem and are willing to hand wave it away because of the pay and the freedom that comes with it.

(Not you and me, though, we have principles, right?)
About ten years ago, an activist investor tried to get Apple to reduce their green stance, in favor of profit. They wanted Apple to commit to only working for profit and shareholder return.

Tim Cook got visibly angry at them, and told them that it was a core principle, and there was no way that Apple would compromise on it.

Say what you will about him, but he has personal reasons for valuing privacy, and he knows that compromising one core principle, in favor of profit, will inevitably lead to compromising customer information.

Looks like he made the right call. Apple is closing in on $3T.

It’s not the market that is enforcing those codes, and without enforcement - rules are just suggestions.
This is inevitable with most "smart home" crap. Wireless-enabled appliances don't sell well unless they can (sort of-) compete with their "dumb" counterparts on price. How do you sell a complicated piece of technology at the price of a simpler device? You banish quality control and slurp up personal data. That's not a new concept to Philips or any other consumer IoT company. They're just getting better at doing it.
> Here's how it works: a stack of SVG filters is created. These filters are constructed so that they will tend to be faster processing a dark pixel than they will be processing a light pixel.

Why/how is that a thing? I know I'm ignorant, but I would natively expect the processing to be a deterministic series of mathematical operations that don't really care what values get fed through.

> Without the new factory jobs, even more people would be stuck as serfs like they were in China or Russia at the time.

Both the Luddites and the enclosure of common land as discussed in history books both were in the context of the UK, which had a very different system that was not at all comparable to serfdom. To the extent that it is true the UK cities were better than the UK countryside, it's not because the people moving there were already an abused underclass of near-slaves like you imply, and the enclosure of common land would absolutely have had an impact on the ability of the free farmers to get by.
