Here's the California law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Internet_Consumer_P.... T-Mobile Binge On is zero-rating. T-Mobile's claim is that they aren't getting paid for it, and that any video provider can participate, so they aren't only zero-rating "some content in a category". It sounds like that second part isn't true, so they are probably violating the law but nobody is being harmed so nobody has sued.

I agree that allowing any form of zero-rating is not full net neutrality because it isn't treating all packets the same, but I don't think it's fair to say that therefore there is no net neutrality in California. It's a very strong and effective law and gets like 95% of the way to full "dumb pipe" net neutrality.

HiPPO attacks are real. Nothing like having countless customer interviews only for a dataless HiPPO to come in and maul your product.

> Demand for surgery is inelastic instantaneously

This is not true, a lot (most?) surgery is elective and can be delayed or avoided altogether

Only emergency surgery is instantaneously inelastic

If more people can get the surgery they need, faster, then I see that as a positive

Also, not all doctors work as surgeons or need to perform surgery. Ideally we will also train a lot more of other specialties that can help people prevent surgery

We use duckdb-wasm as an in-browser telemetry store for an IoT use case. beats the performance of other data stores in your browser and much simpler than manually wrangling arrays

DuckDB also has potential for IoT/embedded use cases as a data buffer with its compression and efficient reads, instead of just sqlite. but for that it needs to free up disk after expiring data

Coworkers answering wrong gets me to stop asking them for help, yes, especially if it's confident or they can't qualify uncertainty or I know their ratio of Q&A site visits vs 1st party docs visits is abysmal. There are even people I won't ask for help because they trust people that I don't trust.

Conversely, there are people who I will go to for topics that they are not the SME in, maybe their teammate even is, but I trust their ability to do quality research and intelligently interpret that research for case specific nuances. Like I'll go to the networking guy to talk about some DB thing because the DB guys are morons and live and die by junk SEO sites but the networking guy can think analytically and find the source of truth documentation and provide excerpts from it.

Naw, kinda the opposite. They “found” a significant amount of missing bitcoin. Then bitcoin skyrocketed in value.

Technically the creditors losses are “crystallized” at the time of bankruptcy and if the organization wanted to push it, could make the creditors whole and end up with the remaining value.

Sometimes this happens in real life where equity holders end up getting some payments post-bankruptcy liquidation.

As I understand it, mtgox is going to go through a procedure to pay out the excess to the creditors anyway, which probably further delayed things.

Many bankruptcies take a significant period of time. Even Bernie Madoff creditors continue to receive distributions from the estate.

Us Brits are very passionate about lovely trees!

I’ve walked along that part of Hadrian’s Wall and stopped at that tree a number of times and it truly was a beautiful spot with real impact.

I don’t think there is any rational significance to the tree - it was just an ancient beautiful tree, standing alone in a very dramatic landscape. A tree that many folks paused to rest at and admire as they walked along Hadrian’s wall (itself steeped in history).

Store at about 50-70% charge, in a metal box, in the refrigerator.

That will allow the cells to last the maximum amount of time.

You might need to periodically recharge them, but this could be months at least for electronics that can be turned off.

If the device doesn't have a charge meter, draining it and then charging for 30 minutes will often work, since many devices are designed to charge at 1C, i.e. 0->100% in one hour.

This specifically and undeniably is what is killing unity too. They have always run on free money, they have literally never turned a profit in the history of the company, and with the end of 0% interest rate policy the music is over.

The fact that they borrowed bigtime to buy this adtech company (hence the push for “if you use our ads, no fee increase!”) and are now deeply deeply underwater is forcing the issue, they have gone from losing $100-300m per year to losing $800m-1b per year. But, again, unity has literally never turned a profit in the history of its existence.

The same thing is happening across the industry where the end of free money is putting some boondoggles out of business, burning out the waste that has resulted from 2+ decades of unconstrained tech growth in a ZIRP environment. A correction was inevitable and healthy, excessively cheap money has all kinds of noxious effects on an economy.

The most prominent is xbox - I don't think anyone realized just how bad things have gotten for xbox but the FTC leaks are devastating, they reveal the xbox division has been on the ropes for quite a while. They have been in severe risk of being closed if they can't make gamepass numbers perform, and they've massively undershot the scenarios in which (two or three years ago) Phil Spencer said he'd close the division. It's entirely possible that Starfield is the last straw, and if they don't see a big bump in gamepass subscribers from it (which doesn't seem to have happened) they may spin off the game-studio side and kill xbox, or pivot it into a "nettop" that competes more with appletv and switch pro type hardware.

It’s also resulted in some businesses making some crazy pricing model changes and other things, out of a real or perceived need to get to profitability. The unity change will kill the business, and things like google business spinning off domain registry (you need to use a third party service to get a complete offering on google cloud?) are pound-foolish decisions that will/could have long-term negative consequences.

But the tide is going out and we’re seeing who’s swimming naked, as they say. There were a lot of businesses and projects that were only sustainable with 0% interest money, and companies are rightfully asking if this is worth it if they have to pay 7% or 8% interest. And that's exactly the type of unproductive work that needs to be burned out of the economy.
Show HN: Pontus the Zero Trust AI Layer
Hi HN,

We’re @sumants and @rmehtany, working on Pontus.

Pontus makes it easy to use AI with privacy embedded.

We were concerned about the volume of personal data that goes to large LLM models without protection. We tried find an easy solution where didn’t change the simple apis given by LLM providers. However, most required you to invest significant engineering effort.

We wanted privacy and LLMs to be easy, so we built Pontus. Through a declarative YAML, we orchestrate a microservice with the most common element of the LLM stack.

- Anonymize Prompts before it hits LLMs, yet keeps context on your servers
- Secure RAG that embeds documents safely
- Semantic Cache that doesn’t store PII at Rest

We did this not only because it is the right thing to do, but the regulation landscape makes it critical to build with privacy first. Recently, many companies have been fined and forced to delete their AI models [1][2]

For us, Privacy is by design, not an afterthought.

How to handle a hands-off supervisor
Working in the streaming media space, I can tell you what happens when there isn't a duopoly. It sucks.

Making an app means:

Android (and Android TV being more work), iOS, web, Roku, Fire TV, Tizen, Vizio, WebOS (LG), and multiple set top box vendors who all have horrible underpowered CPUs.

Some companies try do to cross platform, and that sort of works, but it is janky and customer complain of the sorts of UX issues that always pop up with cross platform apps, and for any decent functionality you end up writing per-platform shims. Also some platforms (Roku) you have to write an app for anyway because the platform requires using a custom language. Other platforms (Set top boxes) are so underpowered that you can't really run anything resembling modern code on them.

It sucks. It is a huge waste of engineering effort for no real gain. Most customers don't choose a smart TV based on its OS, a large % of people choose based on what is on sale at Costco, and another demographic chooses whatever they are told is "the best" by reviewers.

Mobile app developers dealing with a duopoly have it easy, but even that dramatically increases barrier to entry compared to the 90s where you just had to write one app for Windows and so long as you only used documented APIs, Microsoft would move heaven and earth to make sure your app kept working between major OS updates.

My two adolescent children each own second-hand iPhones, which they rely on daily as their most priced possessions. It's intriguing to note their complete disinterest in newer models or upgrades.

Tropical climates most biodiverse on Earth: but not because they're warm and wet
Not really... people made these claims without any testing, as per usual.

I was on Adobe's community advisory board at the time of the iPhone fight against Flash and I'd work with all sorts of things that were supposed to be for the phones.

Flex had problems with phones. Macromedia and later Adobe built this GUI framework on top of Flash with multiple problems... performance being one of them, but the other, and perhaps more important problem was that Flex was created by people who wanted to copy Swing. In no way was it any good for making typical smartphone UI.

So, Adobe tried, but with very little commitment to produce some sort of Flex-based "extension" for smartphones... and that thing never went beyond prototype. Also, at that exact time, Flex was transitioning to using the new text rendering engine, which while offered more typographically pleasing options was really, really slow to render.

People behind Flash player had some good ideas. Eg. Flash Alchemy: a GCC-based backend for ActionScript that made Flash very competitive performance-wise (but never really went beyond prototype). Around that same time a new UI framework appeared in Flash aiming to utilize GPU for rendering, which was a big step in the right direction, especially considering how "native 3D" in Flash failed (it was all on CPU, operating very heavy display objects).

None of these ideas saw much traction in particular because Adobe's management responsible for the product lived under illusion of invincibility. They did a little bit of something, just enough to keep the lights on, but they didn't realize they were side-tracked until it was late. And even at the time it was late, they made some really bad choices. Instead of open-sourcing the player, they started a feud with people who wanted to maintain Apache Flex (the Adobe-abandoned Flex) because of some irrelevant IP right on the Flash player core API. They never officially recognized Haxe. And, generally, undermined a bunch of other projects that targeted their platform (Digrafa comes to mind).

They didn't come clear with major users of their technology, repeating "Adobe is eternally committed to supporting Flex" until they left it in the ditch and forgot all about it. They made it very, very hard to support them in whatever they were doing.

----

Bottom line, Flash could've been made to perform well on smartphones. It ran OK on what would today be called "feature phones" before smartphones existed (eg. it was available on Symbian), if you knew what you were doing.

It died because of piss-poor management on one side and monopolistic desires of mega-corporations on the other side.

This is debugger driven development

In programming environments with very powerful debuggers like .NET this is relatively common since it allows you to do a lot of stuff at fly.

Change values, evaluate expressions, change function's code, jump ahead and behind, etc, etc.

Once you try this you'll never want to go back to print-debugging (except for specific cases)

I think it’s surprising to some who live and breathe a domain just how niche many parts of it really are.
Because service hasn't been competitive for decades, for various reasons, mostly because a single set of tracks doesn't work well for freight and passengers. Afaik, there's no place with large rail coverage where there's one rail network for freight and one rail network for passengers; a lot of the world has rail for passengers and lacks significant rail for freight, the US has rail for freight and lacks significant rail for passengers. The two use cases don't mix well.

If you want to get somewhere in the US in a reasonable amount of time at a reasonable cost, your options are usually roads (bus or personal vehicle) and commercial air travel. There's a couple corridors where boat or train actually work, but not many.

Right, but if you can't give precise types to common coding patterns the type system isn't very useful. A lot of work in Typescript is about being able to type the kind of things people do in JS.
I improved my definition of feelings so that they can easily be objective.

I define hunger as the ideal signal that corresponds exactly to the extent of starvation. 'Ideal signal' is almost like sensation or feeling, except it may not be always or in full precision accessible by consciousness. It is a physical signal, or a function from the physical state. Extent of starvation seems objective (after fixing its definition), and so hunger seems objective too (correspondence is exact). By this definition, if you are starved, but don't notice a feeling of hunger, it's that, you still are hungry, just don't notice it.

> What I consider hunger someone else can consider the norm or vice versa.

How can that be? Do you mean definition, or something else? What do you consider hunger?
