The OP may or may not have executive authority to disperse funds.

Without the details of the business’s legal organization there is no way to know.

Hopefully there are legal documents establishing the company. But I would not bet $28000 on it.

And based on the circumstances described, I would advise having a legal opinion even for an apparent slam dunk because this one smells like it is heading to lawyers.
These glasses appear to be pretty closely tied to your phone (like the previous revision), so they can just use whatever positioning your phone has.
Terminal doesn't come with full disk access; you'll get prompts if you look inside eg app containers. But people tend to approve it the first time that happens.

There are also data vaults, which you cannot get around without turning off SIP.
"1. The certainty of being caught is a vastly more powerful
deterrent than the punishment.
Research shows clearly that the chance of being caught is a vastly more
effective deterrent than even draconian punishment. "

That's my point, and it was the first bullet point in what you linked. Can't be worried about being caught if there is no policing.
That... takes like a double-click on a modern cell phone to pull up the camera, with an all-day battery life and no silly designer glasses needed. Also doesn't need to upload all your crap to Meta.
I would guess there is photocell next to the LED and comparing the amount of light to the ambient light the cameras get. They might also be doing something clever and using the LED itself as a photo diode.
Didn't these fail[1]?

Many (most) plants are toxic or inedible to humans.

But the plants are poison idea ignores a very important point - that we eat the parts of plants that have evolved to be eaten, by us and other animals.

For the most part we eat only the seeds and fruit, and we help spread them in an almost symbiotic relationship.

> to many cheaters to enjoy

Some obvious problems have not been solved in two decades.
Sure - e.g. it comes with a web server built in, ready to make web apps with a quick Deno.serve. It's seems oriented in a certain direction.
> prioritizing previous searches over visited sites

To put a finer (more-explicit) point on that: That sounds like an attempt to keep people making google searches over and over merely to return to whatever search-result they already found in the past and wanted to see again.

It's true that not everything in the browser-history is what people want, but still... Imagine I searched for "monkey island ferry schedule" and picked the obviously-correct first result at "dot.monkey.gov/ferries". Boom, done, got it. Then if I want that information again tomorrow, why would I ever want to re-search, as opposed to just returning to the same result?

In contrast to all this Chrome stuff, let's imagine a browser that is utterly focused on the user's best-interests. With sufficient features/intelligence, it would actually do the exact opposite: "I notice every time you search any monkey/ferry stuff, you always stop once you get to that same result... So you probably always want exactly that page, therefore I should offer it prominently to help you avoid wasting time on unnecessary searches."

Maybe, I took an IC to get to school and it went from a village to a city center, so its possible, otherwise light rail the the norm. I figured out that if I got off at a certain stop, I could shave 15 minutes off my commute by switching to light rail from the IC. That took a couple tries to get timed out right to make the transfer.

I did read the exchange, and there is problematic behavior all around.

The author did themselves a disservice with their disingenuous paraphrasing. The lack of attribution remains a problem however, and is not justified by the author’s misrepresentation; just as the author’s behavior is not justified by the lack of attribution.

OP could have maintained the moral high ground but didn’t, and that’s a bummer, because now this is an “everyone sucks here” situation.

Attribution remains important.
The ongoing climate case before the ECHR represents a pivotal juncture in the intersection of law, climate science, and human rights. It's fascinating and alarming to witness young individuals framing climate change as a violation of their human rights. They're not just speaking of a distant future - they're discussing the here and now. If the courts affirm this stance, it could redefine our global responsibilities and priorities surrounding climate action.

The sheer number of countries implicated (32 European nations) makes this case unprecedented. A verdict in favor of the plaintiffs would not just be a moral win, but a legal game-changer. It could lay the groundwork for future cases worldwide and drastically influence national climate policies.

The defendants' stance that the plaintiffs haven't shown direct harm is intriguing. Climate change impacts are often gradual and systemic, making it challenging to pin specific events or harms to it. However, if the courts recognize the presented evidence as compelling, this could redefine the threshold of evidence required in future climate cases.

The possible outcomes are vast. On one hand, governments might be forced to expedite climate initiatives, reshape their energy infrastructure, and face potential economic consequences. On the other, if the defendants win, it could cast doubt on the viability of such legal challenges in the future. Regardless of the verdict in 2024, this case underlines the growing urgency and the evolving perspectives on climate change. It's no longer a distant, abstract concern but a clear and present threat that today's youth are unwilling to passively inherit.
The implicit definition of "fair" as "equal suffering" is always a bit concerning to me.
I've always said (with tongue planted firmly in cheek) that BMWs are for people that just want to look like they have money. People who actually want a nice car will buy a Lexus.

At least Lexus considers long-term reliability to be a luxury feature, whereas BMW just makes sure the car will last for the 3 years the original owner will lease it.
Priority should be to make the browser usable. It's not. For example it’s extremely unstable for video conferencing. Last time, I don’t know what exactly happened, but I had to reboot my MacBook because the system wouldn’t recognize the camera anymore after trying to join a video conference in Safari, not even in other browsers. Never experienced something like this in any other browser. Many work tools such as Confluence, MS Teams and Google Docs just work better in Chrome. I wish I could switch, and I retry after each major release, but it’s just not good enough yet. I always end up switching back to Chrome after 1-2 days. If Microsoft and Mozilla can do better why can’t Apple?
Handling a phone is cumbersome - I'm playing a guitar and want to record to check what I'm doing wrong, I'm building something in the garage, taking something apart, etc. Sure I can setup some mobile stand but I usually won't bother, this would change that.

But these are sunglasses and I doubt resolution/focus will be good enough for those use cases.
True, but the first version was garbage, the resolution was like 2007 Razr quality. I feel like the better image quality, battery life, and form-factor this gets, it will become a lot more compelling a product.

I would never have bought the last version, but with the image quality on this one it may be worth it (plus the call-related stuff, although I normally have AirPods with me).
This is not a useful distinction because it'd be the same UI. If you grant an app a more specific capability, that just means a more specific permissions dialog. If you don't change the dialogs, the capabilities are going to be the same access it is now. I don't think users want to deal with much more fine grained dialogs.

And it does have more specific capabilities called "security-scoped bookmarks".
As long as the activation is overt I don't think it's a big issue. Overt as in taking a picture or recording requires the user to do something that is noticeable to the people around them. The wake word is quite obvious; the button on the stem is a bit less, but together with the light I think it's fairly clear something is happening.
The Luddite movement came about more due to working condition concerns and factory owners skirting standard labor practices rather than an anti-tech slant. The workers just wanted safe working conditions and fair wages, not to halt progress.

“But the Luddites themselves “were totally fine with machines,” says Kevin Binfield, editor of the 2004 collection Writings of the Luddites. They confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. “They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,” says Binfield, “and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns.” [1]

“Part of why Ludd could count on such support was that Lt Mellor began by strategically targeting the factories that had the worst records of safety and that paid the lowest wages.” [2]

“Malcolm L. Thomas argued in his 1970 history The Luddites that machine-breaking was one of the very few tactics that workers could use to increase pressure on employers, undermine lower-paid competing workers, and create solidarity among workers. "These attacks on machines did not imply any necessary hostility to machinery as such; machinery was just a conveniently exposed target against which an attack could be made." [3]

“In the place of a “cottage industry” where clothworkers, often working from home, could work as many or as few hours in the day as suited them, a new institution was arising: the factory. Inside the factory, workers would work long hours at dangerous machinery, be fed meager meals, and submit to the punitive authority of the foreman. The Luddites saw that the winners from this technological “progress” would not be workers—neither the expert textile makers losing their jobs, nor the exploited children replacing them. The winners were the factory owners who, having found a new way to disempower their workers, were able to amass a greater share of the profits those workers generated.” [4]

This is the same argument as "you don't need a web framework, just build the website".

The thing is, by the time the website is done, you have built a framework, and it's worse than all of the existing off-the-shelf frameworks you could've used.

Maintaining state for uninstall is a big one which comes to mind.

Reference counting (which could sort of be rolled into the above item), to make sure you're not removing something someone else is using, if you install stuff to a shared location.

Silent installation. Yes, this is an afterthought for a lot of devs, but a lot of techs expect it for rolling out software.

Extensibility / Customization at install time. Also ties into the previous one (how to configure the install with no UI running).

Resume-after-reboot functionality, to update files which may have been locked.

Publishing accurate information into Add/Remove Programs (or "Programs and Features" as they call it these days).

Handling elevation in cases where the user isn't Admin (or post Vista - the installer is launched under the non-admin token).

"Repair" functionality, which requires maintaining the currently installed state and configuration.

Support for packing up and deploying redistributables (maybe even download support).

You start adding all that stuff up, and you realize - you can't bang that out in a weekend. It's a LOT of work actually.
Sometimes people get self-conscious when they're chowing down on something, especially a greasy floppy blob like a pizza.
I guess. Meta claims these will know when the LED is blocked, but that's probably circumventable as well. And little hidden cameras also already exist, and people filming in public is already a thing, so I don't really see how this specific product will change things in any significant way.
I agree but for a different reason.

Making a search engine that is good is actually a reasonable task as shown here on HN. It doesn't seem to take very many people, either. Google has set the bar really low.

By contrast, making a search engine that is monetizable and good seems to be an impossible task.
Yes, the RR companies are literally stopping trains and having to drive out crews to swap out because the trains are stopped for so long. and the crews have long shifts already.
Brave is going ad supported, so it'll be under the same pressure as Google. I'm trying Kagi and still reserving judgement.

Chrome/Blink shouldn’t be broken off into a business, but into a nonprofit org. Lots of companies rely on both which should make funding a non-issue.
Lol is that the strawman that people have come up with, that not liking metas "only do what we allow" license must be anger about competition?

No. A good parallel would be if Microsoft (say) wrote their own linux clone that was compatible but had some proprietary enhancements that made it desirable over open source distros. The only catch being, it wasn't gpl licensed (they wrote it from scratch) it had a proprietary MS license that says you can only use it for things MS approved of, and are using it at their pleasure, to be revoked at any time.

People don't care about the license, they call it open source and move away from gnu/linux to the proprietary MS version, and now we're only doing what they allow us to.

That's exactly what's happening in the ML model world right now, but people are happy with the shiny models Facebook lets them use so they say "what's the big deal".
Bitwig knocked it out of the park coming out the gate with Linux support. Can't say I'm surprised though, it's made by the original team that made Ableton Live.
Or part of the gov't pension plan.
One thing I'd like to see is native support for some notion of pitch other than 12-tone equal temperament.

Looking at their example, I see this:

<Note time="0.000000" duration="0.250000" channel="0" key="65" vel="0.787402" rel="0.787402"/>

...which looks like it's basically just a representation of the underlying midi.

One way they could represent other pitches is for "key" to allow a floating point value rather than an integer. So, for instance, 65.5 would be a quarter-tone (50 cents) above note 65.

According to their reference document, "key" is currently required to be an integer:

https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/bitwig/daw...

There's other ways to support microtuning. They could apply a tuning table to the midi notes, for instance. (Ideally they should support more than the 128 notes that midi supports, because 128 isn't enough for some use cases.) They might also allow you to apply pitch bend to individual notes (which isn't allowed in midi 1.0 but was added to 2.0).
Wow, didn't really expect this so soon - public testing just widely opened (to those with ranks) not that long ago.

Any indication of Linux builds being available?

It will also forego usability for appearance. Who needs a keyboard to type anyway...
You mean like every other OS? On Windows, you have to press the Win button, go to Settings, tab over to Network, tab over to Wifi.

I had this same idea on an HN comment early this year lol.

Part of my idea is to use desalinated water to build artificial lakes and rivers. Specifically, a river system along interstate highways, especially in the US west and alongside that infra build highspeed railways. These two things along with interstate highway will allow new towns and cities to flourish which will help with economic activity recouping some of the cost but also solve homelessness, climate goals and even social unrest and instability. It passed my poorly done napkin math.

If hitler had plans to dam the mediterranean and turn the sahara into an fertile land and generate crapton of energy wth are we doing today with all the peace, economic health and insane amounts of technical progress? $300B in subsidizing ev car chargers (car makers should pay for) instead of high speed railways makes me sad.

If the rate of improvement continues at the current pace - which is GPT 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 in the last five years - we are just one or two improvements away from a full blown AGI/superintelligence/singularity/etc. At that point, a superior user interface is probably the least interesting (or scary) thing that would happen.

I personally doubt GPT-5 will be as much of an improvement over GPT-4 as GPT-4 was over GPT-3, but that's fine, I can wait until GPT-6 or 7.

Edit, to add: in the US.
The main problem is the expected lifetime (and payout periods) of the two parts. Cooling solar panels brings more efficiency so it feels like a reasonable fit, cool the panels and get hot water. Its less efficient water heating because the panels aren't the ideal coating but they do still get quite hot and a few of them can definitely do the job. The big mismatch is in life.

A solar thermal heater typically lasts 10 years, its a pretty harsh environment and they have pumps and expansion vessels and water in the heat range of -25 through +80 C is just damaging over time. Where as a solar panel has a rated 80% output at 25 years. That mismatch is problematic for Solar panel payoff, 10 years is only just past break even point. Whereas the solar thermal heaters typically pay off within a few years so the reduced lifetime isn't such a big problem (but both are driven by local gas and electrical prices).

Companies are trying to do this better and products exist to do it. The added installation complexity and reduced expected lifetime are all a bit of an issue. Currently I suspect most people are better off with a dedicated solar heater and solar panels separately, at least for now until the water channels in the panels at least are reliable enough that they meet the panel lifetime and then the pump is installed in the roof cavity so its cheap and easy to replace. Work still needs to be done to work out the details and make the parts that fail easily swappable.
Did something change about their security model that I've missed? Won't this be just as vulnerable to the same poisoned website attacks that made them turn it off in the first place?

Edit: Ah, never mind, I'm remembering wrong. They turned it off previously because it could bypass paywalls, not because of security concerns. So the answer is likely, "yes it is still just as insecure as ever, but now there are probably some checks to keep it from summarizing paywalled news articles." :shrug:

An ever-changing UI has an enormous and unaddressed cost on users. Continual re-learning without choice in order to achieve the same tasks as always.

I imagine this will be accelerated with constantly renewed AI-generated app experiences.

If a company could freeze the UI for a person once they have mastered it for what they want to do with it without sacrificing security, etc. (easy if they separate the concerns properly) I'd buy the product. I'd almost pay a subscription for them to keep it the same, like how I pay youtube a subscription to remove their ads.
