> I don't see the need for e-ink except perhaps outdoors or in changing environments.

Yes, but that is a huge deal. I consider it one of the biggest life changers that will come for a large part of the population. We've built our lives around the limitations of emissive displays. What if you didn't need to shield out the sun to be able to do office type jobs? What if the boss in the field on a work site could just sit down where they are when he needs to do some computer stuff and be able to show designs to his workers without having to bring all inside a room or go make prints?

I think it also depends greatly on where you are. For Europeans, e-ink might not be so interesting, since it's dark and cold there. And when the sun actually shines, they are on holiday anyway. But for places with a lot of sunshine, e-ink will change a lot of things. That might mean we'll have to let go of scrolling as a paradigm. But let's face it: scrolling only became the default because of bad UI choices and lazy designers. Paper moved from scrolls to pages eons ago.
Fairphone 5 review: The most uncompromising repairable phone yet
It should come as no surprise that someone who doesn't value others, someone who value power over others, would relish in the idea that an other is being incarcerated because of their actions and all it takes is their silence.

I’ll be honest, I don’t know a ton about medical trials and how they pick participants.

But is there any reason why people are excluded despite seeking out the trial runners, and have a terminal illness that their drug/procedure MIGHT help with?

I assume the chance it won’t work is legally dealt with for all trial patients, so I’m assuming that’s not the issue.

If they don’t fit the test profile, is there any risk to just simply acknowledging them as an outlier and letting them in anyway? You have one consistent cohort you’re studying, and a “who knows, maybe?” cohort of preliminary results from these Hail Mary folks. That seems useful, even if it lacks the sort of rigour of a group you selected.
I've long had a project in mind involving the various typefaces of the signage around the city of Vienna, which I find very inspiring in many cases.

The idea is to just take a picture of every different typeface I can find, attached to the local buildings at street level.

There are some truly wonderful typefaces out there, on signage dating back to last century, and I find the aesthetics often quite appealing.

With this tool, could I take a collection of the various typefaces I've captured, and get it to complete the font, such that a sign that only has a few of the required characters could be 'completed' in the same style?

Because if so, I'm going to start taking more pictures of Vienna's wonderful types ..
I always found this one rather insulting.

It basically means VC money is a get out of jail free card for a lot of early potential mistakes and miscalculations you can make while working out how much it will cost you to build your business on the back of AWS and how that affects your own pricing model… and the 100x ratio is just rubbing phosphorus into the wound and what elevates this to just insulting to me, it’s one thing to have a 50% or 100% difference in the amount of discount you get (like the already stated example where the VC funds mean you get 90% off, and the bootstrapped customer gets only 30%, that’s a 200% greater discount)

With the 100x on the free AWS credits that’s the equivalent of 10000% discount to the VC funded customer… and when I know that bullshit half baked ideas by people with good networking connections in California are getting a discount like that while I’m working hard to build some sort of legitimate business with my own money… it just feels like Amazon saying “fuck you we don’t want your real business we just want these idiots with their fake business”… it’s not a good vibe to give off.
True, but Foxconn has factories in the PRC
Of course.

The risk of a security incident in my two years at a company is pretty low, the time savings are enormous, and there are no rewards for doing a better job at code review than rubber stamping or waiting to get the proper credentials rather than copy and pasting them. Debugging with customer data or passing it to 3rd party vendors also lets me get tickets done a lot more quickly, improving my Scrum scores.

I am a slave to incentives. There is no incentive to do things properly at the individual developer level.

You might think the only way to be forced to pay capital gains is on sale, but you’re literally complaining about people being forced to pay capital gains for something else.

It's a real shame that Bryan so frequently leans on pissing people off to make a point. He has a wonderful voice, a keen, obvious and sustained interest in the community, but interacts with it like a shock-jock.

I guess it's working for him in the way he needs it to, but it feels like way too much drama.
Very cool, thanks for sharing. Anything.world looks very useful, great work on this release!.
What do you mean by sandboxed? Is it any different to any other ROM?
There's a substantive case to be made here, but you're not even close to making it. It's extremely well-known that the FCC regulates and prohibits, for example, "indecent and profane" content, such as nudity and swearing, which are both obviously first amendment protected. The FCC has been regulating speech like this for nearly 100 years.

I think there are examples of FCC censorship (regulating speech that they do not have the right to regulate, or doing so with obvious political bias), maybe even the one under discussion, but it is incredibly lazy to make these simple sarcastic comments that betray a lack of basic understanding or argumentation. You can make the case for getting rid of all the FCC's speech restrictions if you want, or for resolving what you might consider political enforcement action that is effectively political censorship. But sarcasm about how other people must be mad to tolerate something that has been going on for about 90 years, is pathetic.
The title is great. The blatant self-refuting lie ("Hint: No it's not" is not what "hint" means) saves me a lot of time as a reader.
Facebook is also deploying anti-adblock tech, so even on the desktop, even when ad-blocking seems to work, it's only temporary. uBlock Origin or Brave, doesn't matter, Facebook beats all ad-blockers.

> It only seems utopian if your main experience of cities is car-centric sprawl.

Not really. There is no way most people can walk or cycle to work within 15 minutes as a rule.

This has nothing to do with being "car-centric" but rather the consequence of life: You live here, you find a job there, your spouse finds a job over there.

Pixel + grapheneOS, the most practical privacy phone you can get.
Ok but if you pay for the subscription fee does that mean they can't sell your data to other brokers or anyone else or does it simply stop ads from being served to you?
Since this article is about specifically the Supreme Court not taking the case, it bears mentioning that the SC usually only takes cases where there is an important or controversial legal principle at stake, particularly when multiple appellate courts have interpreted the law differently. It might be an entirely meritorious case but they get over 7,000 petitions each year and only have time to accept about 2% of them. By necessity they have to take cases where the facts and the judicial process are such that a ruling from the SC will have an impact on the entire justice system and how lower courts interpret the law.
Silicon Valley Bank used to have a huge menu of credits or discounts for SaaSes etc, including a significant credit for AWS.

Have any other banks recreated that kind of program?
A lot of the people I've spoken to who are interested in E Ink due to having a physical condition that makes it so they can't use a monitor for extended periods. I've also had people report that they experience challenges focusing on a given task. Others want to use their devices outside or have a minimal, focused computing experience.

My perspective has changed recently, and I see it more as a question of accessibility and having control over our devices, user interfaces, and the medium.
Optane made loading the OS super fast, but the OS still has to fill up RAM. No matter what, loading up 2+ GB of ram will always take noticeable time. Even flat out, Optane takes >1 second to boot, and several seconds to restore a session.

Cost permitting, this stuff would replace RAM, not the drive. No more loading into ram; now the bottleneck is loading into cache and that will always be trivially fast just because cache is so small.

Even if its too expensive to replace RAM, if it can fit the minimum bits of an OS then I think cold boot time still goes to 10s of milliseconds. Might take a couple years, but interactivity doesnt need to wait on ram to be filled.
What they tend to do is actually to create "low traffic neighbourhoods", which effectively bans traffic just passing through, which is concentrated in fewer roads as a consequence. That does not do anything towards a "15-minute city", it just make people unhappy (if you live in a LTN who may obviously benefit from lower traffic in your street, though).

But this doesn't fall under "Hilarious". Sure, ideally the default unit should match locale. But not doing that doesn't seem like they are trolling to me. They are just lazy. The decision isn't dumb, they just targeted their primary audience (even if it is a minority) and moved on.

And the authors suggestion of pixel seems worse, even to me living in a metric-first country. I would take inches over px as a default (but give me mm please).
if you are using those bugs to steal property from a company/person, you should be.
You're missing the point. OP is generally right. It's a hard world out there, and you have to be educated to succeed at anything more than a trade or service industry job.

NT's support for multiplexed interactive user sessions is piss-poor and has always come with a CAL restriction that was _absurd_. To this day there's no real "multiuser on consoles". (Yes yes, Citrix, rdp, Powershell Remoting, OpenSSH: compare those with X and, I guess, also SSH, and they suck.)
Everyone is not aware of it that's why I'm saying it. It's a deliberate use of the word free to confuse and gaslight people. There are many people out there that are 1 dimensional thinkers and can't think past a few steps. This is why we had a large portion of the population demanding they get their school loans forgiven in the U.S. They're unable to think of the repercussions of totally swamping the economy and the fact that in the end the money will be paid back by them anyway.

I agree that socialized healthcare has its advantages but it's not even free for the person receiving service, they're just pre-ordering their service. Just like I said in an above comment, you don't call pre-order game free even though at the moment it comes at you're not paying anything.

Show HN: Pth.ai – AI-Guided Application of Best Practices from Business Books
Hey HN!
I've built Pth.ai, with the goal of using AI as an expert guide to help users apply the best practices and methodologies found in some of the most influential business books like "The Mom Test" and "Lean Startup".
The platform is built on the premise that many of us read these valuable books, but can’t remember the details when we really need to apply them… Using AI (GPT3/4 based) as your interactive guide..

A couple of things to note:
* It's most beneficial for those who've read the books, our prompts will assume you have..
* I'm actively looking to expand the list of books and methodologies.

I'd deeply appreciate any feedback on user experience, the selection of books, or other functionalities you'd like to see.
Also, if there are any other influential books you think should be included, I'm all ears!

Additionally, there's an option to set any custom goal, if you're feeling frisky

Thanks in advance!
This whole idea is totally fake (and I'm not sure you get the difference between a FSBO where the seller is paying a buyer's agent, versus one where they're not). Real estate is a high-turnover job with a bunch of stressed-out independent contractors on 100% commission. They don't care what 'other agents in town' think of them, and there's no giant collusion or conspiracy going on. They're all just trying to close a deal so that they can pay their bills and buy groceries every month. I assure they are not colluding with each other
lol what!?
It doesn't matter what they "can" or "can't" do. They'll do it.
The issue is not the death penalty itself, but the application and the system around it in the US.

For an alternative approach, in Islam we have a rule that Ḥadd punishments are to be averted by rejecting doubtful evidence. The point is to deter people from crime, and have a stable society, not to apply the punishment for the sake of the punishment as some seem to think. As such, practically all cases that are brought up in these discussions would not have had the penalty applied.

I've built an AI SeoBot!
Here is how it works in detail

1) You enter the URL of your website
2) It scrapes the content and figures out everything
- the business you do
- competitors
- CTAs
- target audience

3) It then goes to external APIs and pulls in the keywords based on Google search results.

4) It finds keywords with low competition, but high traffic.

5) It starts building the blog, the outlines, the categories, tags, and articles.

6) Links articles between each other when needed.

7) It inserts creative Call-To-Actions into articles when it's suitable

8) It then watches the traffic and learns from it and improves the articles every day

ALL is done while you sleep.

And one more thing: You can always enter the chat and ask it to anything for you
1) make articles based on keywords
2) create articles based on ideas, titles, headlines
3) rewrite an article based on URL
Show HN: GitHub issue polls via embedded image
I needed to collect votes in a GitHub issue recently, so I created this tool for collecting votes and generating an image of the results.

How it works: Embed the markdown in your GH issue, people click the image, vote, then get redirected back to the issue with the results showing the updated vote stats.
Indeed. And also why I'm against the use of science as a rhetorical weapon when by definition it is neither fixed nor "settled."
The good thing about subscription fees is that you can choose and vote with your wallet.

If it means that platforms like Facebook start thinking about not losing paying users—as opposed to their current users, advertisers—then they just might start implementing features users want (like proper API or custom third-party clients that interoperate with other platforms—which would become completely fine once ads are off the table).

It’d be a gigantic paradigm shift—suddenly their product is their paying customer!—so it’s understandable that they would rather sit comfortably in the middle of the double-sided platform that demotes users to the role of cattle eyeballs and makes it impossible to leave, because no competitor can compete with a free offer.

However, if they do pull it off well, I have to admit I might actually sort of (never thought I’d write anything like that) applaud Facebook. I would also applaud EU for steering FB into that model—they could do much worse (such as require FB to stay free but regulate it to the T, like a cushy state-adjacent monopoly).

Sure, some people will not be willing to shell out 10 EUR monthly and leave—which is utterly fine because this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you get healthy market with finally some competition.
I think the alternative is that creators/influencers do even more ad-content on their accounts... which ends up with non-paying users getting inundated with ads + ads baked into content. Only an issue if the subscription model gains traction I suppose.

Some businesses (spotify, pandora) would kill to have the success with ads that meta/facebook has had.... and I'm sure during the downturn at the beginning of the year metabook would've killed for the consistent subscription revenue... so really interesting to see where this goes.

It's good that they realized 'dead zones' are the real problem holding cellular networks back. It doesn't matter if they have an aggregate of 10^18 bits/sec at St. Mark's Place and an unlimited plan that works at the 1% most crowded places in America costs just $0.50 cents if it doesn't work elsewhere.

For instance, the telecoms managed to kneecap V2V communications that don't depend on cellular infrastructure. V2V based on cellular infrastructure is a pipe dream, however, because there isn't universal cellular infrastructure where people drive -- if you think so, come with me on a road trip in Upstate NY. It's not just an urban/rural problem, even urban areas have plenty of spots like tunnels and bridges that are dead.

Similarly, many organizations that would like to deploy large-scale IoT systems need universal coverage: the model of telecoms so far has been they will collect big $ to serve customers where it is convenient to serve them but customers who fundamentally need it to work throughout a geography can talk to the hand.

It's a physics problem however. High frequency radio waves can't penetrate the ground and low frequency radio waves have insufficient bandwidth. Satellite communications can help, but what will the real relationship be with the cellular network? Will satcom provides just give people an end run around hated telecoms or will they just be a "bent pipe" that extends the cellular network? What about those tunnels and places where satellites can't reach?

It would be nice if we could make neutrino or gravity wave or dark matter particle or axion radios but... we can't.
Because advertisers are only waiting to only get the eyeballs that can't pay their way out of the platform's ads.

Like cable TV, streaming services, and various other outlets this will be a "premium service" until they reintroduce ads for that premium tier.
Anonymously flagged. That isn't orwellian at all.
That's DNS-level blocking and it won't work for long, being the kind of ad-blocking that's the easiest to circumvent. Companies simply didn't bother to do it.

But as a test, try blocking ads in any social app, like Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Reddit, see how well it works.
Was it? I thought even in the lisp machine days, lisp was kind of garbage collected, so that was always the bottleneck.

I remember a quote that was like
“Lisp programmers know the value of everything and the cost of nothing” in reference to that.

>Nowadays Samsung obliterates the competition in the 200~400€ price range, at least in dimensions that matter to me: display quality, decent camera and battery life, 4/5 years of security updates.

This. The A-series like A34 and A54 are simply unbeatable in Europe for those price ranges and budgets most consumers have set for phones. Almost nobody I personally know spends €1000+ Euros on an iPhone or Samsung S/Ultra series when that's 1-2 months rent, but granted I don't live in ultra wealthy Norway or Switzerland.

Here's a well kept secret, if you want a modern 5G phone with removable battery, water and dust resistance, headphone jack, micro-SD card, PTT, extra loud speakers, then get the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 6 Pro. It's crazy how unknown this phone is yet ticks almost all the right boxes most Android users are screaming for.

All these series seem to be virtually unknown in the US though, probably to not cannibalize their much more expensive S/Ultra series in the wealthy market that is the US where nobody bats an eye at ~$1000+ phones.
