It was all considered risky and niche (anything on the internet).

What made the free web possible was first and foremost, access to it.

Then, probably a combination of technological, cultural, and economic factors and the human beings behind the scenes who worked to either create software to give it away or to make money with ads by creating foobar service.

Yes, free software, and yes, because of advertising.

It’s both.
I like this approach https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/moral-dilemmas

Good morality is messy, but solving for the dual that is maximizing evil is often far more intuitive.
Outsourcing to Indian companies like HCL was a thing way before covid and remote work. Results were varied. I never felt threatened as a remote employee
If this works for you, cool. But this is... not good in any way, and it's still not going to work for clients that use a different toolkit or text renderer than the ones you've configured. I hope you can see how it's unacceptable for an average user to have to mess around with this many random commands and environment variables just to get scaling working.

It's an attempt to give a 12-year-old-friendly TL;DR set of essays for computers and technology, with some other domains mixed into it.
This was a pretty poor article. They never really explained what balanced literacy is, what its key positions are, or how it measured success. Nor do they really explain how their ideas would be better, or adress failings of balanced literacy.
Too much focus on phonics could turn off some kids. It's not a one size fits all. The other half she's referring to could better spend their time reading since they already know how to instead of spending additional time on phonics. I hated how long they taught phonics, which is really saying something considering I don't remember too much else from that early.

How is the political group using the science of reading to undermine public schools?
I have found quality content. Notice how the people who work hard to make content outside YouTube's incentives need an external Patreon to fund their work? Why should I pay to fund the Mr. Beasts while the quality creators have to find funding outside the system? Also: I am sure you've seen it -- a creator you like or admire starts succumbing to the incentives, making sillier and sillier thumbnails or "experimenting" with shorter content. Of course there's great stuff on YouTube, but they exist on YouTube despite Google's best efforts to coarsen them.
Can I use Cloudflare R2 and Cloudflare CDN to serve HLS video segments? I always hear about ToS issues with Cloudflare and video. I can never seem to find a straight answer.
Am also a NYC parent, 15 years of deep school involvement. The critiqued curriculum from Columbia TC was supplemental for us and excellent. With all respect to those conducting reading studies of various kinds, and of course to parents whose kids were suffering, many of the broad claims in this piece are bewildering and are far from what I observed directly and indirectly. My views are perhaps colored by my low opinion of current leadership, which hung its hat on this curricular change but in general seems to be making one questionable decision after another, along with the mayor, who is corrupt and incompetent on a nearly criminal level. So it goes.
Lol - kitanata's is funniest comment I read today! But spot on if you think about it.

That subset of HN users that work for FAANG, advertising company or similar, are like the sharp edge blade wielded by the business folks.

So yeah, in a way parent is right. Not that I'd ever hold it against those HN users. You're (at most) the tool used, not the one wielding it.
Searching for stuff in your history is just as painful as searching from scratch. It doesn’t discern from the stuff that was worth revisiting from the stuff you opened and then closed again because it was garbage.

Which means you then need a browser plugin to manage your history more effectively. And then someone else will say “I don’t understand people who are constantly search for stuff in their history…” followed by them describing their workflow as if it’s the only way to effectively manage data on a computer. ;)
Expect for a few very crowded megacities, Americans have a lot more physical space to expand into. Hence the huge lots and homes. Western Europe is a lot more crowded, with the extremes (like SE England) comparable to Bangladesh in population density.

The American excess of space has some negatives, too, like endless sprawl and long commutes.
Yes.

:-)
This is such a clever hack that I'm curious what other clever hacks you came up with.
What US census data tells about the competitive landscape for startups?
US Census once every year publishes Business Dynamics Statistics (BDS) with 2 year lag. BDS records number of firm births and exits over given year in all sectors and administrative units. The data is published with a 2 year lag, so the most recent data is for year 2021.

I assumed that death rates of firms stays the same as recorded in the birth year of a firm, calculated average lifetime of a firm and probability of surviving after N years and here is what I found:

- Average lifetime for a firm founded in 2016 is 7.6 years
- Average lifetime for a firm founded in 2021 is 6.7 years
- COVID pandemic shortened average lifetime of firm by almost 1 year
- There were 447122 firms founded in 2016;
- There were 478873 firms founded in 2021;
- Only half of them are expected to survive 3 years, only hundred thousand of them will last more than 10 years;
- New York and California are in Top 5 states with lowest average expected firm lifetime - 4.7 and 5.5 years respectively
- South Dakota and Nebraska are the two best states to launch a startup, with average expected firm lifetime of 10.2 and 9.9 years respectively
- If you launch in South Dakota, your start-up will live on average twice longer than if you launched in New York
- The implication of this data is that competition usually outweighs positive network effects when choosing a place to start a business
- Average startups has 49% chance of surviving after 3 years and 20% of surviving after 10 years;
- IT has below average chance of startup surviving after 3 years 45%;
- Arts and entertainment is the most competitive industry with 36% chance of lasting longer than 3 years;
- Utilities is the easiest business to launch with 72% likelihood of become successful, but good luck getting starting capital to launch there;
- Health Care, Agriculture and Finance are good industries to operate at;
- It is a little harder to survive for startups in Transportation and Mining

With all due respect, I don’t think you really get what art is. Please just google the definition or something. No someone that doesn’t have art skills cannot create art precisely for the same reason, with or without ai .

The hypothetical situation doesn’t even make sense. For the exact same reason that no matter how many prompts you use, you can’t write a good book with chat gpt. Art “goodness” exists entirely beyond the realm of being able to communicate it through words. It’s not something you can quantify logically and refine it through a prompt. You’ll always end up with some mechanical, derivative crap
This was largely my experience even though I'm in Comcast's backyard. Constant modem reboots for seemingly no reason and outages of varying lengths.

Everyone looks to india, but that isnt the only cheaper labor market. If you work a tech job in the bay area, the most threatening labor market isnt india or china, but west virginia and alabama. The most direct threat isn't the overseas person willing to work for 10% of your wage, but your drop-in replacement willing to work for 80% of your wage because they are paying 50% less in rent.
I saw the same eclipse when I was on a plane from Rome to Seoul. I don't remember it too well anymore but really cool experience.
Sure, if you believe the talent in those cheaper labour markets is actually equivalent. That's probably not the case, though.

Still, I think there is some truth to stay you say. I've always worked jobs that require me to come in occasionally to meet my users and get hands on experience with equipment they will be working with (like expensive lab equipment). For me the big win is that I can primarily do my programming from home, but my job could never be fully nor could it be outsourced.
That's the same limitation as XQuartz or any other rootless X server. And you have this exactly backwards. The majority of X clients that users care about are ordinary programs, not window managers or xdotool.
But who guarantees that Cloudflare will not charge me for egress in the future? Sure nobody guarantees either that S3 won't becomer more expensive, but migrating to another provider just because right now they are cheaper without guarantees of their price in the future seems short-termist.
> the goofy glasses teachers wore for group reading time to make the written word less intimidating; in the assurances to parents that the best way to help children read was to read out loud to them to instill a love of language and literature; in the artfully arranged reading nooks stocked with cushions, mats, and an appealing array of books; in the hours that teachers instructed young children to sit in those nooks with books of their choosing.

I have gone through this with my kids. Out of all the options and educational models, it’s unsurprising they picked the laziest one. They don’t have to struggle and correct kids. Just put goofy goggles on. Or, stick them in front of a tablet and let that babysit them until parents pick them up.
I use apagard premio, came across it while doing research a couple of years ago (4-5) on nano hydroxyapatite. I've never really had problems with my adult teeth and I continue to not have problems, so at the very least, in my case, is not any worse than fluoride toothpaste. My dentist loves my teeth :D she told me whatever I'm doing, don't change a single thing.
I find it ridiculous that the author had not already taught their children to read prior to kindergarten.
English as a language doesn't help, being a disaster for learning to read. My native Swedish is annoying and hard enough for my kids and it's a paragon of logic and consistency compared to English.
> Can the suspects lie?

Right now, the suspects will never lie, but the killer will avoid revealing "too much".

> Is the rating at the end based on minimum numbed of clues required, or just on total number of clues used?

The number of clues used. The mysteries are generated with a variable number of clues, so it is still an open question how the score should be adjusted.

Yes.

Because it does far more harm than good. Enforcement of copyright requires all kinds of authoritarianism and infringement upon people's rights to use their own property/devices, which hardly seems a fair trade just for more entertainment media. Especially when there are enough creatives out there who do the work purely for passion that'd we'd never run out of media to consume even if nobody could use copyright to profit from it.

That's always been the case anyway. Remote work doesn't change that.
Sometimes you just wonder if the rich and powerful think that the middle class was a mistake and that they will do anything to correct it.
>A big chunk of their funding depends on getting their students certified, and they can not make a plan to achieve that.

>I am literally the only teacher in the school who got kids certified (that I know of.)

These two things (as explained by you) cannot be true at the same time, or the school could not exist. Could you explain the nature of the funding? Is it supplememtal? Who is supplying the funds?
> $6,200 is not going to be a comfortable experience - but there is no fundamental reason it should be impossible, crushing or stressful.

Given than the average monthly rent for a 2 bedroom apartment is ~$1300, how does this make any sense? Even if it was only $500 a month, this theoretical family of four would be spending their entire $6000 on rent. I realize that talking about driving down costs probably includes rent, but getting the typical cost of a two bedroom apartment well below $500 is almost certainly not possible.
If you receive money from A16Z or enter the YC program the marketing is embedded with the investors and accelerators.
You are, instead, "stealing" the means for the producer to make more if they can't afford to do it any more because you've normalised using people's work without compensation. It doesn't really matter if the marginal cost of reproduction is near zero, it is the producer's choice what to price their product at, not yours. You're pushing the cost on to others to subsidise your consumption.

People who are convicted of drunk driving are often permitted to drive again (especially if they need to to go to work) but are required to put a breathalyzer interlock on their ignition so they can't drive drunk.

Perhaps similarly, people convicted of internet piracy could be required to operate with their torrent ports blocked, or with some sort of nanny state spyware installed on their devices.

One meal a day honestly sounds like a good way to mess with your blood sugar - at the very least it won't do you any favors, and you'll still have calcium build-up and possible staining from what you drink, and little mechanical use also means whatever gets in gets to stick around longer.
Yeah. I am not going to do that. It's a positive feature of HN that you can't get notified.
On the topic of retro computing and gaming: I really want to make retro computer games, but without the retro computer environment. Things like PICO-8 are great but lean heavily on making the whole experience retro.
100% agreed.

The most consistently amazing thing about Cloudflare is the clarity of their product positioning.

You have this common problem, we built a thing to fix it.

No 'change your problem into this other problem' gymnastics. Just 'pay us once you exceed the free tier, and it's no longer a problem'.

And furthermore, they seem to have clarity of platform vision, in that each piece does something very specific to help them compete efficiently against AWS/Azure/GCP (who have much larger resources) AND has synergies with their existing platform. E.g. edge compute, free/cheaper network traffic from compute/storage

Critically, Cloudflare seems like the only competitor to the majors that has their eyes on competing on price by capturing enough of the market of {some thing} that they can still make profits at extremely low price points.

Also, just glanced at their financials again, and they look exactly like you'd want to run a large company if your eye was on order of magnitude growth. They just pivoted to positive FCF in 2023, biggest expense is sales and marketing (over half their gross profit), and have exponential revenue growth.
Ask HN: How to Stay Behind?
It is common practice for most frameworks to continue evolving until they become extremely complex.
Ideally I'd like to make use of certain frameworks but opt-out of this devolvement into complexity.

I could lock the versions, but I would still like to enjoy the benefits of using maintained dependencies: bug fixes, security patches, etc.

Locking is also harder to do when there are external dependencies like Node.js version, Ubuntu version.

How do you solve this issue?
I've been using a tooth paste with hydroxypatite for a little more than one year. Mostly for the enamel in my front teeth. I can see it works to some extend. The corrosion from the upper side of the teeth have stopped and I can see improvement of the already eroded side but I am talking about less than a milimiter. It is not a quick solution, and it requires dental higyne routinely. As for the price, I found that of you get the tooth paste in bulk it is more affordable.
FWIW if you want a "quick and easy" (not necessarily great/long term) solution, toothpastes like sensodyne do work pretty decently. I had very painful teeth as a kid, reducing (gum/tooth) inflammation + a few weeks of those tooth-sensitivity toothpaste has reduced my sensitivity permanently by a good bit, maybe 60%.
My Swedish brain breaks from that word. It looks like "bakelse" which means pastry.
Lots of people make the same assumption, and companies take advantage of that. E.g. if they want you to buy a bottle of wine at $10 a bottle, they'll place plenty of $10 bottles on the shelves, as well as some $7 bottles, with the assumption that you'll regard them as bottom of the barrel crap.
Rust toolchain is ready for production use
You can configure hibernation and use it instead.
Idk how it works but when I clean my induction burner, when the buttons are wet, there is some sort of annoying alarm beep but it never ever activated some button for no reason. Also, you need to long press the power button then the burner specific button.

Of course it’s induction so even if it was erroneously powered on, it would only be an issue with a pan on it which never happen anyway when you clean.

I hate sensors buttons with passion for everything but in the specific case of an induction burner, I think that’s a smart choice (accessibility aside).

My previous ikea induction burner even had 4 virtual sliders for the temperature, one for each burner and it was so nice that I wonder why it’s not the default.

> outsourced to a cheaper labor market

Have you hired any contractors outside the US lately? They may not be SV level, but hourly rates that translate into 150k-250k yearly are fairly standard through any contracting firm for people with experience. Can the lone, amazing and cheap person be found? Sure, but that's not how companies operate at scale.

Also, I've been told since I was studying CS in the late 90s that going into programming was a poor career choice because everything would be outsourced to India. Here we are almost 25 years later...

As far as AI is concerned, sure some jobs will be displaced. But, IMO the vast majority of AI will be a productivity multiplier. I've yet to be a part of company that doesn't have a list of projects a mile long they would work on if given more programmer time. Customer expectations will also increase and eventually we'll settle at a new, higher baseline where everyone is using AI to get more done.

Incorrect. That's only if you do cdn.
Maybe they would be able to afford more if they didn't spend so much of the budget on renting out offices, eh? Remote work has gotta be leagues cheaper, even if you own the building you still don't even have to pay people their commute fees.
What about the users who _aren’t_ technically able? That’s where this technology is most important at the moment.

That aside, what happens if you lose your current password? Every major platform out there has a method for recovery. Why can’t that be used for passkeys as well? I don’t see how there’s any incentive for companies to lock us out of accounts, when the platform is pointless without people consuming it.

We may have very little power, as users, but if enough people have trouble getting into their own accounts, that’s going to directly impact the bottom line of the company locking them out. From a purely capitalist standpoint, that’s a really good reason to make sure that that doesn’t happen.

Lastly, at least Bitwarden is planning on having passkey support in their password manager very soon, so there’s real competition that will allow users to be in full control of their own passkeys.
