We are in an age of shameless propagandizing. These legacy media institutions are being whored out I guess to keep the party going before they lose all credibility and become another hollowed out bit of cash flow for private equity to pick off whatever they can from their bones.
it's on HN so folks can rage about outrage culture and have their biases reinforced.
It was quite an enjoyable product to use.
It seems totally pointless to keep them for a DUI. You have a criminal record if you have one. What do the prints help with?
You would be, since you can't even define what the word equity means. Emotional idiocy in the name of "fairness" leads to the worst atrocities imaginable.
Right

"privilege" (in the legal sense, not the social justice sense) is compatible with "equal protection" and "due process". "Privilege" doest mean "freely revocable gift".
The point of the article (and the headline) isn’t that rent growth is meaningfully slowing.

The important bit is “(where housing got built)”. It’s arguing that increasing the housing supply is reducing rent pressure, and the situation is worse where nothing is being built.

It’s not trying to convince you that things are great and you should be cheery, it’s arguing a policy position.

The places that aren’t building should be, and the places that are building should build more. The only way to arrest rent growth or bring about a decrease in rents is to increase the housing supply or crash the economy.
Meta’s monthly average revenue per user in Europe was $5.96 as of 2023-Q2. $14/month is quite the premium to opt out of its privacy invasion. Does Meta really think it is worth more to people than Spotify or Disney+?

Because incrementing integers require a singular central node to track the universal state and even so still have a risk of collision bucause they are not guaranteed to be unique in absence of an externally carefully managed master incrementer.

Applications use uuids to avoid colliding with themselves. Uuids exist so that web-apps can create objects client-side without waiting for a database CREATE, applications can be built with multi-node dbms, operating systems can name hardware compenents.
Maybe it's the cashier's computer inside the station?
The entity making Edge is mostly Google. Edge is a shell on top of Chromium engine.

Chromium/Chrome team(s) is easily a few 100 million loss making, only profitable because of ads.

No one pays for the browser. It’s a loss leader.

So splitting them means things could get worse instead as the top browser engineers go elsewhere.
Pragmatically, to get from "ö" to "o" one would delete "ö" (hopefully by pressing backspace) and then type "o"; deleting the combining marks isn't actually useful.
Definitely guilty meaning what?

A full confession that is never retracted?

What about cases where an innocent person is coerced into thinking they are guilty?

In a world where we accept the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, where does this certainty of guilt arise?
"Do you have adblock set up to filter ads only, or do you have it set to also filter all kinds of other trackers?" would be the more accurate question.
I've seen accidental trigraphs such as ??! come up a few times in pre-ANSI codebases. Trigraphs are still used in EBCDIC codebases[0], but I wouldn't expect to see them anywhere else or in public code.

State-Compute Replication: Parallelizing High-Speed Stateful Packet Processing
Contrary to what gripping television shows depict, most criminals aren't that intelligent.

That said, it's pretty dangerous to let your kid go out alone in a state park - not just because of stranger danger, but they could simply get badly hurt in an area not frequented by many people.
Hopefully, someday, once we complete our EPDC, I plan to contact the PINE64 community and MNT Reform to see if they would be interested in incorporating it into their devices.
Maybe I'm just too old...but my mental image of "Lego" is a kid's life-long collection of Legos would fit in a single copy-paper box, be played with pretty frequently - for years - and would very likely be passed on to a younger relative or few.

If you are interested in actual environmental impact (vs. trendy anti-plastic ideological posturing), that old-school Lego use case looks pretty damn good.
Guys, btilly, Aaron, if you want to advertise your product here, you may, but you need to be direct and do a "Show HN". The "I'm asking for advice but I'm really just low-key advertising & looking for partnerships" is completely cringe and tonedeaf - people see right through it. This is like some LinkedIn storybro level cringe.
Quite, I was thinking about doing so.

I just scanned it with picklescan, which found nothing malicious. I just updated my original reply.
> That's why just about the only thing cops are consistently decent at is intervening in property theft or vandalism

Property theft seems like the most-ignored type of crime these days. Police often do little more than fill out a report unless the thief is still there and stole a huge dollar amount. They obviously prioritize violent crime much higher than vandalism.

> the #1 type of theft is actually wage theft

This is a myth. Retail theft is much higher than wage theft.
That particular thing is one of the fundamentals of the protocol. If you want something else, then IPFS really isn't what you're looking for. If that model is what expected from reading the landing page, then I guess the landing page doesn't clearly communicate how it works.

What you're asking for is a bit like asking Bittorrent to suddenly change their model to a model where people can push data onto other nodes.

If that is truly what you want, probably something like Freenet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenet) would be more suitable, as it's highly unlikely IPFS would change the protocol in such a major way.
The WEF has 1k member companies and many thousands of individual members. They're not all going to agree on individual items.
Intent matters, because "suppression" implies intent to prevent content from spreading.

For example, deleting redundant text, or cutting merely to fit the content into a limited space or time, isn't "suppression".
Welcome to Southeast Michigan.

For whatever reason, everyone within 25 miles of Detroit "lives in Detroit" even though a whole lot of us might visit the city less than once a year.

The media will usually say "Metro Detroit" when referring to someone who doesn't actually live in the city[0] of Detroit and given the location of the gas station, it's probably an actual person who lives in the city.

[0] In which case it could be someone living in one of three different counties.

> Otherwise whatever gains you had on paper also apply to the nearby houses, so you can't afford them.

Why are you so certain you couldn't you afford them? You were able to purchase a 200K house many years ago. Now you just need another 200K to buy that bigger house — and it's a bigger house! You did it once long ago, you can probably do it again even easier (in addition to everything else, you have a huge downpayment now). And no, you typically don't pay capital gains taxes against your primary residence.

In any case, the point is that you're in a way better place than if you hadn't made that 200K purchase. That's what I mean by "floating on the water" — you have a stake in the market so now as it moves, so does your asset.
Not wrong. Retail stores do that with wifi (and probably bluetooth now) all the time.
> However, I bet that the vast majority of software developers would hate the job and the lifestyle, perks or not--which among other things generally involves a ton of tightly-scheduled travel.

The travel is a prison they create for themselves, and generally one that they get off on. If your job is just chatting with and manipulating {employees,customers,higher-ups} then you need to invent a contrived way in which it seems hard, so you can keep justifying your salary.

Even better if you can tie your self-worth to your airline miles balance, and avoid your family for 3/4 of the year!
The problem of serving ads that I block anyway isn't what bothers me the most when I use facebook (i.e. when I have to). The main problem is that meta tracks everything they can about me and keep it forever. And I can never trust that they won't do it, no matter the legislation.
Too many cars, teenagers driving and on the cellphone. I'm not afraid from violence but from cars.
I think that would be ideal. The 'killer' feature would be: Handcraft a set of control characters, like the letters in "handglove" and then let AI generate the rest. Designing a typeface is fun, until you need to add support for multiple languages and need to make 800+ characters. Or, maybe there is a nice (open source) font, that is unfortunately missing some characters you really need: let AI generate them.
Which of the UK's prosperous former colonies do you have in mind? There are several scattered around the world.

Even ones that are not all that prosperous per capita achieve things like moon landings.

You can have the monarchy without being a colony - several former colonies do.
It's not a straw man if your only argument is "it would save at least one person". You need to articulate your position better. Being belligerent in addition to poorly expressing yourself doesn't help, either.
Nobody said anything about opting out of privacy invasion. Just that they won’t show ads on the website.

I doubt they’re just going to stop collecting data bc ur paying them.
Ask HN: Experience with AI to learn a foreign language?
I have become motivated to pick up another language. (I'm going to follow through with it this time...probably) Research and experience suggest that conversation with feedback is the fastest way to improve language skills. It occurred to me that an AI could be well suited to that task, conversing and learning during my commute.

I see that there are already a few options available for this. Does anyone have any experience with these to offer a recommendation?

Hearsay and wild speculation is welcome.
Another case on how the judicial system is flawed, so many cases where innocent people were convicted while the real crooks are having dinner on private jets.
Show HN: I built a tool to optimize your fantasy basketball team
Hi Hacker News,

My name's Matt, I'm the creator of FantaZscores, a tool to optimize your fantasy basketball team with z-scores. I know this isn't the usual SAAS vertical that gets posted here, but I'm proud of it and wanted to share.

I launched the MVP last year because I was frustrated that there were many fantasy sports projections that weren't statistically sound. FantaZscores uses z-scores to ensure rankings are mathematically precise.

It integrates with Yahoo during (and after) your draft to import teams in your league so you can view z-score performance in each category.

How does this help?
- Visibility into which categories you've over-indexed
- Visibility into which categories you're lacking (and should consider punting)

This means you can adapt during your draft according to your team's strengths and weaknesses. The interactive rankings will update live according to your punts.

It also let's you schedule waiver pickups in advance so there's no more waking up early to get your guy.

Here's a <1 minute rapid fire overview
https://youtu.be/zMdYXnFUcA8

Here's the site itself - https://fantazscores.com

I'm open to criticism, feedback, and questions. Would love to hear your thoughts Hacker News, especially if you play fantasy basketball!
To me it seems to be much more trouble than it's worth. Setting up a server and installing clients, pirating a bunch of content to put on your server. Then using the client to download files since you won't have signal (how is the tether going to have any signal?). I guess it's fun for hackers to tinker with this stuff, but just putting the file on the device like we did 12 years ago seems much easier.
why collect fingerprints for drunk driving

Being a piece of shit is habitual.
I got a job as a "student worker" when I was in college, because my dad wanted to hire me in his graphics studio office.

I was lazy one month and he wrote me up, gave me a PIP. I worked harder after that. :-)

The best part of it was that I got to take walks with my dad during the lunch hour every day.
so... what did people expect? Also, people who buy 17,000$ Apple Watch have probably moved to a different model long time ago.

Is any of that OK? No. It's just not surprising.
>Mr. Mills is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and co-author of a new report on public trust after Covid.

>The American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, known simply as the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), is a right wing libertarian think tank based in Washington, D.C., that researches government, politics, economics, and social welfare ... Some of their positions have attracted controversy, including their defense policy recommendations for the Iraq War, their analysis of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, and their energy and environmental policies based on their more than two-decade-long opposition to the prevailing scientific opinion on climate change.

You could already add E2EE encryption yourself, just encrypt the content before you hash it and share the hash?

Still, I wouldn't want anything I want to be private to be on a public network, be it IPFS, S3 or the internet at large. Who knows when the encryption will be broken? Simply too little benefits compared to the massive drawback in case the encryption doesn't hold in the future.
I have no idea how this hack is done/no insider knowledge but reading between the lines, I suspect that they're altering the pump in a manner that sets the cost per gallon to zero or near-zero.
This is why we don't restrict the pool of people who design justice systems to "those who've just had their 9-year-old taken".

> Langstroth hive frames can weigh as much as 40 to 90 pounds and must be lifted up out of the hive.

For anyone surprised or unfamiliar, that’s the weight of an entire box with 8-10 frames, not the weight of a single frame—while that’d be delightful in terms of honey production, it’d be miserable when doing hive checks, etc.
It’s tough. Presumably, your parents or grandparents didn’t have to raise their kids in an environment where they were constantly barraged with horrific news stories such as these.
They already are allowed to. And I am allowed to voice my disagreement with widespread RTO mandates, just like some others are voicing that they prefer RTO. We are all allowed to do these things.

Precisely this.

There have been specially expensive editions of the iphone before, and they were chucked on the bonfire of e-waste long before.
Meta is only offering this because the EU is forcing their hands to ask for consent without degrading service for those that refuse.

"Selling" user data isn't legal without a basis under GDPR and they don't have it. Also, Meta aren't stupid to give away their asset to others. Like Google, they don't actually sell user data, rather they provide an ads platform on which people can place bids. Which under GDPR is also unlawful, and Meta just found out about it.

Granted, you may believe that they'll engage in unlawful behavior anyway, but I'd say that they are a huge target, breaking records in fines which are only growing.
My apologies. We are still figuring that out. I'll update the website with more details when we get there.

- Permanent Roles: Open to remote positions at €100k and hybrid roles at €120k.

Thank you for considering my profile. I'm currently on a freelance contract but always eager to discuss impactful opportunities. Looking forward to potential collaborations.
Premise 1 = good. Premise 2 = bad.

Both can be true, good & bad, simultaneously.

Good that a child was rescued.

Bad that bio-metrics are stored indefinitely without knowledge or consent of those whose bio-metrics were essentially stolen and waiting to be leaked or used for nefarious purposes.

No citizens voted for this indefinite capture. No citizens voted on length of storage, type of storage, sharing options, or security of said indefinite captures.

This is bad. ALL BAD.

I've found "the dynamics of the company have changed and are no longer a good fit for me" works pretty well. That usually will get them moving on to the next topic. If they probe then you can get into the details, but keep it civil and professional.
It used to be like this in the US too. Now we have “upgraded customer interactive digital displays” that stream ads, TikTok, “cheddar news” , and propaganda into your brain while you pump and I haven’t seen a pump then pay in some years.

Its even more than Netflix 4k, which here has reputation for costing too much.

>We could bring crime to near-zero if we give the government full, unlimited access to all of our communications, devices, and our homes.

No, we really couldn't. That's an authoritarian fantasy. I don't think people really grasp the volume of crime that's occurring every single day. There aren't enough prisons/police/etc to enforce even a fraction of the laws on the books.

I wonder if creating a paid tier of users that won't see ads significantly devalues Meta's advertising proposition.

From the perspective of an advertiser, I don't really see the appeal in running an ad on a platform where all the users who have signaled they have disposable income and are willing to pay for online services don't see any ads.
Did ~5 interviews for this place a while ago only to get completely ghosted, wasn't given a yes or no.

I honestly can't quantify myself what makes "a person", only list instances when it's a clear yes/no for me personally. Note that I'm not advocating anything, I'm just giving my view.

At 6 months a child feels mostly like an instinct-driven animal, but at 2-3 years for instance they clearly have awareness of themselves and the world. Somewhere a switch happens, and in this gray area I don't know.

Adults with mental retardation still have a consciousness, but if you're a braindead vegetable you don't, so the line is somewhere there.
Why pay $14/month for what I can do for free?

Honestly “headline inflation” is a poor statistic anyway because it lumps together a bunch of unrelated things into a magic number that masks the underlying causes of price increases.

If people thought in terms of the cost of housing going up xx% because of lack of supply or the cost of energy going up xx% because fossil fuels are produced largely by cartels and hostile powers they might consider policy tools to decrease housing and energy costs by addressing those issues directly.

Instead we think in terms of “inflation” and the only solution for “inflation” is some magical monetary policy lever that has a side effect of destroying working peoples’ lives.

Only? That’s 140 cases a year, or one every two working days. Sounds like an extremely high number to me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_U.S._Supreme_Court_c... says it’s ≈70 per year. That’s less, but IMO still very high.
