And yet every time there’s a delay in one of those connections, it’s DB that’s at fault, and somehow never the rail companies it interconnects with.

If what you say is true and Germany is uniquely more interconnected than other European countries (which I don’t buy, btw), then you still have cause and effect backwards: the interconnection makes the impact of delays worse, it doesn’t cause them. The delay ultimately happens in a single place and then has knock-on effects, but the place it starts is usually inside Germany.
If anything we should applaud how flexible modern software can to accommodate a user.

Everyone seems to have misunderstood my comment. I'm not saying a service like YouTube can be free. YouTube contains tons of low quality, pointless videos. Literally "content" (they even use that word themselves). You're thinking of all the millions of views of Mr Beast or the countless hours of turnkey video content like ASMR that get uploaded every day.

I'm think of everyone serving their videos themselves like people have served text for decades. Do you really think your average HN blog post in video format would amount to "petabytes of video"?

In other words, the technology I'm talking about here is the World Wide Web. That's all.

As for encoding etc, that's dead easy and most people have the hardware at home to handle it.

Bandwidth isn't free; I never said it was, but people already pay for their bandwidth as part of their ISP deal. Why do you expect people to pay twice?
I'm sorry to hear that. For me it came back the same. Thanks that you're mentioning your experience. The dangerous sides of the WHM are wholly underexplored and we need to know more of it.
Yeah but we need a name and a recognizable advocacy position. The open web, the indie web, minimalists, even luddites are related terms, but nothing really fits. Then there is the community, the scene - like a webring, but better. Dignified, driven by a simple, solid technical aesthetic, capable, self-sufficient, independent, rational, (classic) liberal, etc. Those are some adjectives I associate with these ideas. I don't know the answer, I'm thinking out loud. (I was excited by the indieweb label but it sounds good but its off-putting with levels of compliance and weird microformat stuff. It's not focused on the important universal qualities and distracted by details of technical implementation.).
Hi, yes I tried, it's great. They do not let you upload your own books though, and for me (as an user) it is important
Well I mean welcome to hacker news I guess.
I do a mix between this and waiting for the water to evaporate. After it has evaporated you'll be able to brown it nicely either way.
I'd like to see some experiments with Search engines that rank on things that are hard or impossible to game. Impossible in the sense that the search-engine controls this variable entirely.

Like "age of the article" through "time we saw it first & how much it changed since". Or like "churn", through "how often we saw new content come and go".
Anything that users or owners control, will be gamed. So maybe there are variables that only the search-engine itself controls that still provide adequate or good ranking?
I'm familiar with it, it's great. It's a bit different interface-wise, they do not insert translations intro text, you have to click on words to translate them
Could you share which Pinephone apps you needed that aren't designed for a phone's form factor?
"Security"? This has nothing to do with security. Also, it's not great to pollute technical forums with more ChatGPT-generated content when it would be more useful for domain experts to contribute their own knowledge.
Yes it is.

The pertinent question (to me) is the relative corruption and/or other dysfunction to national and/or subnational governments. That's the competition.
The lesson it's supposed to teach is to be helpful to others, and that disobedience can lead to punishment. A fairly basic part of parenting, employment, fighting in the military or many other things that boys grow up to do.
His comment history has the hallmark of a low trust obligate contrarian.
If I flip the switch, one man will die because of my actions. If I don't flip the switch, 5 people will die because of bad luck.
I'm inclined to let destiny decide the outcome and save the one man. Am I alone here?
Literally the same exists in Chrome, under the same feature names even (not sure who copied whom).

Firefox has environment tabs, which are like profiles, but on a per-tab basis. Personally I'd like to have a combo of this and tab groups.
Their recommendations are always a range, and for athletes the recommended range generally tops out at 2g/kg. But the recommendation can be higher for people with very strict body composition requirements, especially when trying to lose the last bit of fat when you are already very lean (e.g. bodybuilders before a show, action movie actors etc). But the range for most people is pretty wide, and it’s not a requirement, it’s just that you’ll probably get better results when gaining or losing weight if you err higher.

But yeah, even the minimum is a lot, and it’s hard to achieve without building all your meals around protein.
I wish I could earn a living inventing trolley problems. Sounds easy and fun.
It is really easy to get stuck in retail or foodservice, and these jobs aren't known for paying a lot.

Children need childcare. This has a major impact on your finances if you are poor. You might need to have a reduced availability and might not find full time - or any - work because of it. If your child is prone to being sick and you make less money, it becomes easier to lose your job when you have to stay home with them. And childcare is expensive: I've known plenty of folks that stayed home or have worked little simply because they didn't actually make money by working, once they factored in child care and transportation costs.

And that's not even getting into something mentioned in the article: Sometimes, when you make more, you are actually worse off. People refuse full time hours, raises, and promotions because the increased pay won't cover the government help they'll lose, let alone make them better off.

Being articulate and well spoken doesn't really grant you anything when you are working bad jobs (and many 'decent), depending on the job. I worked a couple of days in a food factory back in the late 90's. It was barely over minimum wage. Being articulate didn't matter: You just needed to do the work fast enough and follow the health guidelines fast enough. Oh, and work mandatory OT on short notice.
This is correct. But if you have a reasonable PMF and stability, and already serve your pages via some API anyway, maybe productizing a portion of that might be worth it.
My monitor could do 1024x768@85 and 1280x1024@60 hz.
I hope this isn't a famous essay because browsing through it makes me suspect the writer was paid by the page. I see from Wikipedia that the writer is a professional philosopher.

In some sense this is a look into the pre-internet style. Waffle about Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi's ornate, neogothic/baroque designs would be good material for the dinner table if someone with no other access to information. But if the point of this is to explore the trolley problem it is a distraction.

There is a certain sort of person who owns a large bookcase in which the most treasured book (indeed, the only one in the room to be thoroughly thumbed) is "100 Books to Read Before You Die". They'd probably get a lot out of the writing style here.
Yeah. I need to work on the mobile version. Just haven't had time. An TBH I know little about responsive design. Where should I start?

You're painting with a broad brush a religious view of an idealized tech stack rather than the problem of motivations at different scales that aren't equal or necessary for each.

Large companies reward resume-grade impact, not cleaning up code, because there is literally no value added (that can be claimed) unless code is used or directly saves money. So spending expensive engineering time refactoring code for future hypothetical concerns isn't viewed as achieving anything, even if it sounds good. It's a shitty reality but necessary to collapse the often disconnect between software engineering and business.

Very large companies also have the staff to roll their own custom everything because COTS FOSS just can't scale up or out well enough at a reasonable cost.

By contrast, startups lack standards and working infrastructure, and are often forced to rely on force multipliers such as potentially expensive SaaS services where they own nothing, not even their data. The upside of startup startups is that there's nowhere for average or lazy engineers to hide: everyone must produce and do things in a maintainable manner or face the consequences of poor operations or paying the price of tech debt.

There are no free lunches, religions, or perfect solutions in real-world web ops. There is only minimizing classes of fires and being able to respond to them in a lasting manner in order to move forward.

To be honest, I'm more worried about the influence the author's friends and parish have on his kids.
This is really cool. I recently started my my journey into brick and mortar business. Would love to chat and learn more about your experiences.
A paranoid person would point out that information can be encoded in a way that is not lost when printing / scanning too, just with more effort. Of course I'm not such a person. ;)
The parent probably means Intel ME, not TPM. The latter can be based on FLOSS.
There were live resizing hacks on classic MacOS that often worked pretty well, depending on the app. So it seemed pretty shocking to me how huge the regression was in the early days of OS X.

I don’t think the graphics hardware was always “insanely fast” back in those days, but even so, there must have been some terrible bottlenecks in the software.

As a user there was no way around it, and if I recall right, even as a developer it was hard to get decent resizing performance out of the system widgets.

One of the very few times I can recall where Apple has shipped something with such poor performance. Maybe most people didn’t notice or didn’t care because they just don’t resize windows very often?

I think the main point was that these attacks are physical, don't scale very well, and are untargeted because they depend on luck, so an adversary probably would use more efficient techniques. Unless of course these USB charging points happen to magically cluster around important secret carrying government buildings or other points of interest.

Google failed to build a social network where enough people would willingly leave enough personal data for selling, even though initially the Plus had some high-caliber users to follow.

So they have to make do with GMail, that lacks the network effect of social media.
I'd love an expanded explanatory framework as this is as complex as important issue as any. But I am not sure where to take your leads:

Polarization: If anything, strong and opposing political opinions should induce real debate about the shape of control in the digital universe. The fact that there is none speaks volumes. Its a fake polarization, to keep the masses numb and pre-occupied with secondary issues while the real power gets entrenched. The issue of how the digital society is structured is not a left-right thing. Its a democracy versus oligarchy thing.

Disinterest: This is a given everywhere. People in their large numbers can't be interested on matters that are technical, arcane and way beyond their comfort zone. The critical issue is the interest, incentives and behaviors of a much smaller constituency (in business, politics, civil society etc) that do have the equipment and means to think and act. For now at least this constituency is captured. It thinks it will fare better as an adjunct to oligarchy rather than imagining and implementing the principles of democracy, checks-and-balances, individual freedoms, healthy markets etc in the digital era.

Propaganda and so forth... Well yes, lets not try to solve humanity's all problems in one HN thread :-). The main (new) issue we have (and the tension revealed by these repeated EU-US frictions around data protection) is the very diverging attitudes in the nominally homogeneous cultural and economic space that is the North Atlantic region. This divergence is not tenable: Either the US will change its course and democratize (unlikely), or the EU will capitulate (unlikely) or the EU will have to build its digital society as distinct from the US (also unlikely).

The question is which of these unlikely events is the most likely.
But that is exactly what search engines do. Yet people find a way to game these "impossible to game" metrics.

For example: "age of the article": search engines value recent content => suddenly you start seeing articles published just weeks/months ago reviewing some rather old piece of hardware/content. Either a full repost under a different URL with a different title etc., or just an incremental (probably automated) update of an older page.
I'll bite. You're completely ignoring the effects of claims such as yours being a convenient excuse for those with low self esteem as well as poverty culture in general.

You can make all the observations you want but correlation is still not causation.

Your original comment before your edit made claims of someone in a given environment having certain behaviors while someone in a different environment not having those behaviors. I'm saying those behaviors are not caused by a mere "environment", but systemic and wholly caused by the broader culture we all live in and the opinions espoused by those who control it. Poor people are definitely attuned to that and mostly because they're vulnerable and living in a social desert. They don't know better beyond what's fed to them by the media and bad interpretations of "science" on social media and anywhere there are comments such as these. They spend so much of their time searching for and grasping at whatever seems relevant to their situation and overthink what they believe is beyond their horizons.

The poor are still often ignored and excluded especially by those who think they're being inclusive.
I personally find it refreshing to read an example that is not "A deposits $10, B withdraws $10".
> I wrote a not-very-coherent in retrospect article about 12 years ago while working for an SEO firm about how SEO was killing the internet. The basis being companies were creating pages and blog posts specifically to target keywords without actually having coherent things to say on the topic.

Is there a way to improve the detection of posts like this so they can be deranked? If so, why isn't this done? You would have thought the original PageRank was meant to combat this because useless articles wouldn't get linked to.

For what it's worth, whenever I'm helping with SEO, it's generally only to encourage website owners to use semantic HTML tags properly and structure their content in a way (e.g. titles, headings, sections, new pages with links between them) that's easier for humans with and without screen readers, and for search bots to read. I don't like the practice of writing articles to target profitable keywords that aren't relevant to your site or writing bloated articles.

Unfortunately, all of this in lumped together as "SEO" so it's become a bad word.

> how “fast they load” has done exactly zero to promote quality content. I use quotes because I have worked on ad-ridden super slow SPA’s that manage higher scores than super fast static sites.

I think speed is only a small ranking boost. Maybe this will increase over time. If it was a big boost right now, it would have forced every website to make large immediate changes which would have been very controversial I'd think.
How about “sustainable web”?

It could surf a bit on already established efforts in other domains and the narrative seem to fit with those ideas I think.
The small web?
Yeah, I don't think individuals can fix society by themselves.

USA is a special case since the poorer 50% somehow failed to organize politically and form a party to represent them like they did in basically every other democracy. I think they still can organize, but there has to be massive barriers that are hard to overcome or they would already have done so.
Or if you have a removable battery, a 30-second swap.
If GP said they did, would you be prepared to accept that verification?

My intuition is that you wouldn’t.
This is not a very good analogy I think. Serializable reads like a table or database level lock, but that is not at all what it is.
My daughter now loves Paw Patrol, and so did my other kids. They also love PJ Masks an Miraculous. If they enjoy it, they can watch it.

If that show is the biggest problem in your life, you either have a fantastic life or you're focusing on the wrong thing.

First world problems indeed.
Isn’t it nice to see people deduct in real time why many sites use relative timestamps?

For most people, exact time doesn’t even really matter — it’s about estimating a broad chronological context for the most part. I’d just wish the UI would have a universal and easily accessible way to disclose the exact time when I actually need it.
I didn't knew that US has manufacturing capabilities. /s

Try and produce a LLM that makes gameboy music by training it on the CPU instructions that interact with the audio chip and the timings between them.
Yes. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37888305
Yes, mechanical. It's a copyright issue, I cannot offer translated books, so each user upload will get separate generated and inserted translations. Obviously the quality is not the best compared to professional translations. For that you can try beelinguapp.com or lingq.com, both mentioned in this thread. What's different in my app is that it inserts translations in the text, so no additional clicking, and it allows you to upload your own books.

I've tried using LibreTranslate, GoogleTranslate, DeepL, ChatGPT 3.5 and 4 for translations - in my experience ChatGPT is the best for this use case, 3.5 is good enough and economically viable, 4 is superior, especially if you want translation in a language different than English, but expensive compared to 3.5: ~$20 for a book.
The point is that a major barrier to a more charitable mindset is the association between low income and low morals. The usually-unspoken sentiment goes: “I’m not giving them anything, it will only be wasted on drugs and crime.”

As the article points out, there is a huge and literal gap in the market for low-cost housing that adequately protects low-income households from drugs and crime, and from the association with drugs and crime. Those things aren’t a necessary consequence of poverty, and yet if your income is low, you have no choice but to live amongst them. The article uses the phrase “the murder-iest part of town”. Why do there have to be such places? Low income becomes associated with low morals, and the hearts of the rich harden: “I don’t want to give money to people in the murder-iest part of town”.

The #1 thing we could do to address the hardship of poverty is to break the forced association between low income and low morals.

And yes of course low morals exist in all strata of society, but their effect is particularly pernicious amongst the poor because the poor can’t afford to disassociate themselves from them.

At this moment, yes. A few more hardware cycles and those can be run in a browser plug-in.
Not that I disagree, but "I spent 5 years helping Google achieve its market dominance and mindshare, was accused of bullying employees, left quietly a few months later, and am now trashing it in the press as part of the marketing process for my next startup" doesn't have quite the clout it could have.
Great. It's a good idea to have a HN-like platform with a narrower focus. Another idea would be to add focus areas to HN itself, maybe similar to subreddits. When I currently scan the "new" pages, I find less than 3% of the posts interesting.
Theoretically any language that ChatGPT "speaks" is supported, but the more popular language the better quality of inserted translations.

I definitely agree, I live in the Netherlands and love the infrastructure philosophy here.

I just thought that in America the car dependecy was partly cultural and partly due to zoning laws which push the broader philisophical shifts beyond the control of individual design companies and contractors. The solutions I put forward above were meant to be read within that context.
You missed the point.

Logically it makes more sense to flip the switch. 5 lives vs. 1.

But when you change the situation. There's no more switch. Just a single track with 5 people tied to it. You're on the side of the track with a really fat man. You push the man onto the track you can save the lives of all the people because the really fat man stops the train. But the fat man will die.

Two situations with equivalent logical consequences but experiments show that people will consistently flip the switch but they will not push the fat man. Why do people act one way but not the other when both situations are logically identical?

This moral conflict is one of the greatest pieces of evidence that our morality is made up of biological instincts. First it shows morality is not logically consistent. Second the same moral hiccup is shown across all cultures and demographics consistently indicating that morality is genetic and biological and not learned.

That is the significance of this moral conflicts. It says something deep about humanity, biology and the true nature of what morality actually is.

It's not just some wierd moral game.
