> as a developer you should expect that none of your users will have disabled those protections and your release plan should have notarizing as a step.

I don't want to spend $99/year for the rest of eternity for the privilege of having a slightly less scary warning when my users run my app for the first time. Thus, the readme for the one macOS app I made that has gained a bit of popularity instructs users to right-click, then select "open". Works reasonably well so far.

I would absolutely have embraced notarization if it was offered for free. Otherwise it feels like straight up extortion.

I disagree with you, if it's typed it's safe. The issue is if it's untyped or the type isn't enforced (by the runtime, by the compiler, or by the code itself).

I understand your point, I'm just saying if it's actually typed, it's safe.
Except for the last 20 years where we've had basically zero anti-trust enforcement. Lina Kahn biden's FTC chair is actually taking a crack at it again and has filed several major anti-trust suits against several big tech companies this month.

Twitter is infested with trollbots and sock puppets, and can't even agree with itself on its count of real users. So, if some real user accounts that parroted disinfo were swept up in bans or whatever you're calling "censorship" during the disinfo fight, then so be it.

And, in any case, if they're parroting the same disinfo as foreign adversaries who are working to destroy us, then they don't get special dispensation just because they're U.S. citizens.

From a game preservation standpoint, I am always a bit sad to see these major relaunches which "overwrite" older games instead of existing alongside them. You can never go back and play the 'original' CS:GO now.

That said the changes seem awesome for CS players. I could never get into it, the twitchy FPS gameplay just isn't for me, but it looks fun.

I can't understand why any person would actually side with Apple with this issue. At it's core, Apple's refusal to integrate with RCS is an anti-consumer practice. They fear it will drive customers to purchase Android phones but that would most likely be an incredibly small amount of people. People buy iPhones for many reasons.

I just get a phone with big storage, right now using an iphone with 1 TB.

And I discover I actually use the photos a lot:
- through the geo-location map of all photos - when I am trying to remember something, show somebody a specific memory, nudge my memory about a place or region I have visited, a hiking trail that I've followed, that view from that LA trip, etc.
- through iOS photo search - it is not perfect but in 60% of the cases I actually find what I am looking for
- random highlights that the OS gives me - I sometimes deep dive with Show in all photos and look at what I was doing back then

All my photos are synced in the cloud but I spend lots of time in the mountains, in the wilderness or travelling, so I prefer to have them all on my phone for the moments when internet connection is missing.

With all of these I actually feel very connected to my whole photo library.
Could well be! I have no specialist knowledge, I just got curious about the origin of the fairly random feature name, and went digging. The two well substantiated facts are:

Hacking movements gained popularity between WW1 and WW2 due to army interest (and during WW2 US mil-spec for watches required a hacking feature, leading to e.g. the Elgin A-11 hacking watch).

In the heyday of mechanical marine chronometers (late 18th century through early 20th, roughtly), common use was to set a hack watch to the sheltered ship chronometer, then go above deck with the hack watch to make observations.

The link between these two facts is more tenuous, and basically boils down to: watches with a hacking mechanism would obviously be really handy for marine use, given how the hack watch was used; and military terminology routinely bleeds between the services, so transposition from a navy to an army context around WW2 wouldn't be surprising.

As for why the Royal Navy called these watches hack watches... I pretty much just ran down the dictionary definitions of "hack", including the archaic uses that would have been commonplace in the late 18th century, and made an educated guess. I would hope that there's a book out there somewhere about this era of sailing that has a more substantiated take, but I don't have such a reference myself.
I'd like to add on to this.

My girlfriend and I found an airbnb out by the lake, the owners of the property have direct access to said lake. We'll generally rent it out for 4 or 5 days (friday-monday) and just relax, go fishing, etc.

So we end up using the same airbnb a couple times a year for the experience.

outside of that, however, I have to echo the sentiment that in general airbnb's are not cheaper than hotels, so what you're paying for is a "non-hotel" experience.

Hey HN community,

I've been diving deep into the world of data analytics and algorithms, especially in the context of e-commerce. While platforms like Google Analytics provide a wealth of data, I felt there was a gap in real-time, actionable insights for users.

I've been working on a tool that dynamically analyzes user behavior on e-commerce sites, understanding their interests and position in the buyer journey. The goal is to provide more relevant product recommendations in real-time, akin to how TikTok's algorithm curates content for its users. This is the site: sparksmetrics.com

I'm interested in feedback from the community. How do you see the future of dynamic product recommendations? What challenges have you faced in this domain? And how do you think real-time analytics can change the e-commerce landscape?

For those curious about the technical details or the algorithms behind it, I'm happy to dive deeper. Let's discuss!

> As machines grow in capacity, eliminating any threat perception of humanity as a threat will be crucial. This requires addressing the three key drivers of human conflict: resource contention, ideological differences, and untreated intergenerational trauma. Resolving these factors would reduce threat both within humanity and from humanity’s perspective to machines.

The author apparently sees this as a good thing, but I really don't want a disarmed and brainwashed humanity. Game theorists and nuclear war planners have already thought of ways to defeat this however, you simply treat any attempt to dismantle or disarm your second strike capability the same as an existential first strike, enacting a "second strike first" plan to prevent the enemy gaining leverage over you.

From another perspective, the optimal strategy (and a honest strategy, you need to be highly committed and your enemy needs to know about it) is to enact the best first strike you can under the current time pressure if any tampering or signs of future attempted defeat of your second strike capability is detected, as fast as possible.

Not to reduce liability related to the exposure. But because the voters passed a proposition that demands it. If you are harmed from the exposure in a way you can conclusively show, the prop 65 label won't absolve liability.

> On the other side of this regulated transaction, families fill out the dreaded FAFSA, on which they are not expected to write down any numbers they want, and the numbers they write will be validated. Colleges use the resulting FAFSA data to calculate information like the expected family contribution. For families, the whole system feels as serious as a conversation with the IRS.

It is exactly a racket where the seller sets a price based on complete access to the buyer's financial information, with government enforcement.

I'm sure other businesses are envious of this IRS-style arrangement.

Thanks for your analysis. Your citations point out the inaccuracy of the older systems, such as being unable to distinguish clouds from ice. I don't want to make any assumptions about methodology, but if the measurements are already showing low sea ice, and they cannot distinguish ice from clouds, perhaps the actual sea ice levels were even lower than claimed in the paper.

There's plenty of non-satellite data out there (in the IPCC reports and elsewhere) that also show a dramatic reduction in antarctic sea ice from 1950 to 1968. All the available data shows 1979 as the coldest year and a peak for sea ice, so using that year as a baseline for comparison with today's levels can result in a misleading assumption that sea ice levels are decreasing, when they may actually be "normal" right now.

I don't count that Xi losing, but Xi winning. He's very conservative in China's sense, and he's basically crushed less conservative forces in the Party. A crackdown on clothing "detrimental to the spirit of the Chinese people." doesn't serve any real interests of Xi other than enforcing the ideals of China's conservatives.

Similar to how the Republican party always try to inhibit abortion wherever they can. You won't say that Republican party successfully passing an anti-abortion law indicates they are losing, will you?

Yes, sole proprietor, all revenue reported as personal income ... hence I consider it income.

An interesting contrast in this whole debate is Japan, where homes actually depreciate slowly over 20-30 years while the underlying land much more moderately appreciates vs homes in the West [0]. This makes apartments quite cheap, even in popular cities, and the rate of homelessness is quite low [1].

There are small towns trying to sell empty houses for super cheap, though possibly you have to pay to bring them up to code, I am not sure on the details.
More recently, renovation has started to become popular [2]. I guess that helps with costs and is more eco-friendly.

I'm not sure if this way of doing it is better but it makes sense to me that the house itself, like a car, should lose value as it ages and its parts will require more servicing and replacement.

If written that broadly, that's just sloppy. [0] It benefits both sides to be more clear. There are also nuances to "claim" and what rights the employer may have (e.g. They get a license, but not full copyright.)

IANAL, but I have recently read an IP waiver for a mega firm with heavy R&D and while they get their hooks in most job-related creations, they have exclusions for things orthogonal to your job.

It does seem a bit silly to me as well, given the stresses that watch movements are subjected to day to day, and that the hack's mechanical design barely touches the balance at all. It doesn't take very much friction at all to halt these movements, so I struggle to see where the source of damage would lie. But, people have their opinions.

And yeah, mechanical movements are technological marvels, and can keep incredible time for being a completely analog machine... But seconds per day is still about as good as it gets unless you take expensive measures (like the marine chronometers did) to get diminishing returns. And less expensive or well tuned movements can easily drift by a minute or two per day.

In a way, we've been spoiled by quartz and electronic timekeeping. Now that GPS blankets the world and lets any timepiece continuously synchronize to within microseconds, "seconds per day" sounds ludicrous. And yet, it built empires and ran the world for a couple centuries! Especially for civilian use, it's rare to truly _need_ better precision, aside from the general desire for perfection.

Science has delivered technology and wealth (it's not evenly distributed, of course, but that's not the problem I'm talking about.)

That's how FOSS wins: "Let the robots do the work and we'll take their pay."
An interesting thing I learned about CS is that the guns have a consistent pattern to their bullet spread. When you fire an entire clip with automatic fire, the bullets are not laser accurate of course, some bullets go left, some right, etc. Well, the pattern by which the bullets are off is consistent. The second bullet always goes right, the third always goes left, etc. This means if you practice enough you can learn to move your mouse just right to compensate and land every bullet exactly where you want... at least in theory, but I don't know if anyone is actually that good. I've always thought it was interesting game design that skill could overcome bullet spread though.
It will absolutely get integrated sooner rather than later. The Microsoft Hololens is still bulky compared to these, but is getting tested out right now by the US military to view the insides of aircrafts [1]. After a few more size and cost decreasing iterations, it will get quickly adopted.
