On the other hand, YouTube ads revenue increased from 7,340 million to 7,665 million in respectively the quarters ended June 30 2022 and June 30 2023.

That is a revenue increase of only about 4% even though they have added way more than 4% of ads in the last year! So maybe on paper it still looks great, but advertisers are definitely spending less.

EDIT: Might also explain why they are obsessed with adblockers now on YouTube. Numbers have to go up in the next quarter again. I wonder whether accepting that the party is over might be a better long term strategy.

Does not matter how you want to defend it. German + Danish electricity is on of the most expensive in Europe, despite lot of renewables, which should have made it cheap. And it is especially stupid to defend high prices while you are trying to electrify your a car fleet.

Gaza is described, by Amnesty International and the Norwegian Refugee Council, as the world largest open air prison. It depends for all life necessities on Israel and has all of two neighbours, Israel and Egypt. The former being also the former occupier which refuses to lift the embargoe and prevents Gazans from participating in normal life in Israel, incl. working there. All Israel did to technically not make it an occupation is to withdraw troops, getting rid of that cost and risk. They did not so get rid of accountability and responsibility.

That situation is the perfect breeding ground for extremism. Israel is not at all innocent in the FUBAR that is the middle east and Gaza in particular, regardless of the excuses Israel finds.

I'm not a huge objector to the continued outchurn of the Star Wars or Star Trek or MCU franchises, for example, because there's an academic sense in which the existence of bad stuff doesn't negate the existence of good stuff.

BUT...

I think restraint and scarcity can make things more special. Food is more enjoyable when we are hungry, absence makes the heart grow fonder, etc..

Narratively, it's good to leave some questions unanswered. A successful franchise leaves the fans wanting more, but actually giving them more can leave us over-satiated and uninterested.

China has its own problems. There are obscure family names out there consisting of characters that aren't officially recognized, so computers can't process their actual family names. So those people instead pick the closest alternative officially recognized character instead, purely for the purpose of official documents and appeasing computer systems.

Insurers are on the spot financially. If they get it wrong, it comes out of their margins.

Ultimately, you need insurance to be on the road. If you cause an accident, the other side will want to see some money. That's why insurance is mandatory: to make sure that money is there. The price of the insurance is directly correlated to how likely you are to cause an accident. Insurers use all sorts of criteria, including how young or old you are and how much claims you've made before.

Insurers noticing that they get a lot less claims for self driving cars is going to pretty soon lead to price differences for people who still choose to drive themselves. Cars without self driving features are going to be more expensive to insure. Liability with self driving cars vs. manual drivers is also going to be different.

The law clearly and unambiguously states that inaccuracies must be corrected by the data controller. That their tech stack doesn't support internationalization, rendering them incapable of fixing inaccuracies, is irrelevant (and their problem). This isn't a backdoor, it's the law working as intended.

How would it not apply even moreso to comic strips? Comic strips are even less accounted for in terms of the general body or oeuvre of that series.

My problem with this browser thing is that it's part of a more insidious campaign to normalize this sort of dark pattern + intrusive nudging.

Interesting you can get rikodeine at all, given that even mild (8mg) codeine tablets are now prescription only here. That stuff (from a quick search) appears to still be available OTC.

As someone who has always used low-dose codeine+whatever analgesics when I have had a bad cold or migraine, I resent these being removed from the market recently as well. People can tell me that paracetamol and ibuprofen are just as effective until they're blue in the face, but that little bit of opiate uplift when I'm feeling like absolute shit was very psychologically helpful... Oh well, this is the world we live in.
It's much more reliable to use a usb bluetooth audio dongle instead of connecting your bluetooth headphones directly for gaming. During a gaming session, the bluetooth stack might be cpu-starved and starts to stutter or even lose connection. A usb bluetooth audio dongle is detected as an external audio device (mic and speaker) by linux which will bypass this issue entirely, and usually has lower latency codex support as well (I have a hard time getting aptx working on linux). You then connect your bluetooth headphones to the dongle (usually by putting your headphone in pairing mode, then pressing a button in the dongle, and it'll automatically connect to it) instead of your pc.

Fast forward, it took one year to get it in resources because somebody high up decided English and Rumantsch wold be needed too and to rewrite all those language-related SQLs turned out overkill.

Sure, just store it that way, and make sure the output is converted to UTF8 at every point where a modern system is involved (envelope and letter printing, statement printing, customer website, internal customer support tools, internal anti fraud and audit tools).

Also convert input from UTF8 to EBCDIC at every point a user or employee can type into a modern keyboard/OS. Eg searching customers by name.

Teach employees on inputting characters. Are we going to allow all unicode characters? Will they be able to find records if the customer doesn't give the diacritics in one context such as phone?

Also some routine tasks will be done using a mainframe terminal which doesn't support displaying these characters. More training there as they will just display the UTF-EBCDIC version of the field.

Are there connections like tax agencies, credit reporting agencies, other banks, Visa/Mastercard, and what character sets do they support? We always sent them ASCII CSVs via FTP and everybody who understands it no longer works here.

> I agree on the object level that banks really ought to spell our names right.

That is even more so as it spills into CC verifications, so bank limitations “infect” many payment aspects. I had that issue because I moved country and my original bank had no support for customers with a main residence outside the country, so the entire billing address had a weird-ass setup to be fit (a nonsense zip code and the actual country of residence filled in an ancillary field), and using the correct address for billing would fail their checks.

> However I strongly doubt that we should force them to do so by law.

Why not? This is literally a generations-old issue, clearly technical and social pressure has not fixed the issue.

> If you want to force an organisation to support a sensible character set, please make a law or regulation that explicitly demands that. Instead of sneaking it in via the backdoor.

There is no backdoor, that’s a front matter of the law. While the safeguarding of data is the most well known prong of GDPR, it has always included a right to accuracy and rectification, quoth Article 16:

> The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.

And Article 5 1.d:

> [Personal data shall be] accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purpose for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay
Since dlt generates a schema, and tracks evolution etc, contains lineage, and follows data vault standard it can easily provide metdata or lineage info to the other tools.

At the same time, dlt is a pipeline building tool first - so if people want to read metadata from somewhere and store it elsewhere, they can.

If you mean to take metadata like we integrate with arrow - that remains to be seen if the community might want this or find it useful, we will not develop plugins for collecting cobwebs, but if there are interested users we will add it to our backlog.

You do realize that Europe has 3X the population density (and subsequent urbanization) as the US right? That alone explains literally every difference between Europe and America, in everything from public transportation down to socialist political leaning.

Yes, as an engineer, it is absolutely more “efficient” if everyone lived in small government subsidized boxes, in centrally planned cities, taking centrally planned transport to only the places you’ve decided they should go.

However, central planning and praying at the god of efficiency has its downsides. Namely a total lack of innovation or people having children. It turns out having 2 crying babies in your tiny 2 bedroom apartment and taking 2 trains and a bus to the pediatrician kind of sucks.
Maker of driverless cars (Waymo) obviously would promote their product. What is surprising to you about this?

If you are talking about US users of HN who upvote such news I would venture I guess that they know that any new public transportation that could be built in California would have following deal-breakers for them:

1. It will (maybe) start operation in 10-20 years, long after they have sold they RSUs and moved to another state.

2. Will be huge money sink, potentially leading to tax increases.

3. Even if they live in alternative fairy tale timeline where is is built on time and on budget (and connects actual places where SDEs live, not Bakersfield!) they still won't use it because it would be full of homeless people and thieves snatching their latest iPhones and running away. Saying that last part out loud in Cali would just get you attacked as privileged rich SDE who is antihomeless Trump-supporting Rand-reading nazi or something.

PS I also live in a place with good public transport and have never owned a car.

How do you transliterate "Élya" ?
That’s absurd. So now every organization needs to be able to handle every script in the world?

One thing is if the database can handle Unicode, but what about employees? They now need to be able to differentiate Chinese characters as well as Sanskrit, Hangul and Thai script?

Of course not.

Airlines have pretty paved the way for everyone having an ascii encodable version of the name and this is so standardized that it’s even in your passport.

Show HN: Diagramming app for power users (Finegram)
Hello all,

this is still quite an early release, but it's starting to be a proper diagramming app. At this point I call it a beta release and would love to get feedback from potential users.

Highlights:
- Fully offline and standalone desktop app
- SVG file format
- Better usability and workflow than alternatives

I've written about these points and more (incl. what Finegram is not) in the linked blog post.

You can download the app at https://finegram.com/downloads

There's also a User Guide with videos of all the features:

In some places there is an officially acknowledged list of valid given names (for citizens born in the jurisdiction, eg. Hungary), and that format of the name might not be on it. Elon Musk would be in trouble here naming his children.

It is a debatable practice, yet I think this is somewhat protecting the children from silly decisions of parents (some example from Hungarian tabloid media where parents were outraged: Fradi / Fradika (from the slang name Fradi of the FTC football club, without and with diminutive appendix), Traktorka (tractor with diminutive appendix), various names from soap operas, WoW characters, Shrek, Satan.

So think of the children! :) But really, this is the other end of the spectrum. And this (giving especially weird names to children) is a fine recipe for making the child subject to bullying in my opinion.
If I were the author of the original, I'd be thrilled. And would offer the character as the project's mascot tied to a set of conditions based on the success of the product so that, in case it fails to gain traction, it should be renamed and allow the name to be used by another product.
