This is just plain wrong.

Guess which other companies filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy? Sears, BedBath&Beyond, and Circuit City. I don’t see them coming back at all.

Not saying that there is no possible comeback from chapter 11, there is. But seeing a chapter 11 filing and assuming the company will get out of it just fine is a bit preposterous.

Most of the time, the whole point of “reorganization” under chapter 11 is to keep generating whatever cash flow they can in the process, to make sure the creditors recoup as much of their investment before the (most likely inevitable) shutdown and the operations are wound down as gently as possible.
I don't think you're being downvoted because you're wrong, but because your comment isn't very useful.

It has made the easy parts easier and faster but most of the time is spent on the harder parts. I think my stuff is more polished now thanks to LLMs since I don't have to write css myself anymore.
It doesn't make it less ridiculous, and doesn't change the incentives it sets up. Since the losses are spread across a bunch of (often small) businesses, scenarios like this where the crime goes unresearched are the norm.

I'm not asking for sympathy here, I'm explaining why it's a free for all. It would be fairly easy for the credit card companies to aggregate the data and revoke cards from these people (when there's a pattern) because they have that visibility. Or, if revocation is too hard, give me back a "return fraud risk score" when I do a pre-auth....even if said score has a very high threshold before it shows. But they have no reason to, because it doesn't hurt them in any way.
Or rather “not officially printed”. I’m sure some lawyer somewhere has printed them.
I don't fiddle with my phone. I touch 3 times my onboard touchpad via carplay without looking.
Or they pressed the report button on their screen, not too dissimilar to changing the AC. Or do you pull over before operating any of the controls in the car? :)
Curious to hear your objections to the black box.

Black box data (speed, steering+pedal input logs) were invaluable in determining fault in an accident involving one of my family members recently. As long as the data doesn't leave the car under normal circumstances, what's the harm?

I’m a seasoned Product Manager with 10+ years of product management experience and 2 tours of PM management. My most recent experience was at Twilio where I was a Group PM. I am actively interviewing and eager to start a new opportunity!
"Forcing a signature" doesn't work with throw-and-go delivery. In the common best case, someone is home and takes a few minutes to get to the door. In the average case, nobody answers and it needs to be redelivered several days in a row. Making this more efficient would require redesigning last mile delivery to include scheduled time windows, buffering packages per-recipient, etc.

In the early 2000's I was adjacent to a company designing a locking box that delivery services would have the code to and leave packages in. I don't think this went anywhere because it was too far ahead of its time, but I could see Amazon encouraging something like this for customers in problematic areas (weren't/aren't they trying something with being able to open your garage door?).

IME whether you need to return something really depends on the item and why. If it's damaged grocery items from Target/Walmart/Chewy, nobody really wants them back. Whereas Amazon invariably wants the stuff back through their automated solution, but talking to someone (which I only do for exceptional cases) seems to invariably result in "just keep it" and a refund. I'm sure there is some surveillance-based solution behind this, deciding based on social credit score and whatnot. My only questions are how singular it is (eg Retail Equation), and when that dystopian hammer is finally going to drop.

It is a technique commonly used in gaming, StarCraft for example. It is called “send a drone” or “send a probe”.
Now that Apple Pay and Google Pay are a thing, it’s become incredibly easy for someone to just tap a button, their face unlock does its thing, and payment goes through.

Unless you mean a psychological barrier?
Well, to comment on the 80% thing, that's usually how these algorithms go. Someone makes video after video gaining some to little traction. And then they make their first video that scrapes above the margin, gets posted somewhere, gains traction and becomes vastly more popular than their other videos. What we're witnessing is this person's largest video yet, i mean it got posted here, and we're all discussing it.

As for the disproportionally produced nature of it, sometimes smaller creators who have money to spend will pay producers, editors, artists to help them on their video. These people have a portfolio that they advertise and they sell their services with some personality. Either this individual has experience video editing and has created all the fluff themselves for some reason, or the person has enough money to spend they dicided to hire a professional editor, who has made all these sections and spliced them into the video. Possibly the creator gave the editor a minimum length to produce and not enough real footage. Possible this exact thing happened but the creator and editor are the same person.

Youtube has changed a lot in the past 5 years. There a huge industry of video editors and artists who support the professionalization of even first time youtube creators, as the bar is raised ever higher and higher to be heard above the noise
We're now at the stage where any police arrest, seizure or action should be completely thrown out if there's no bodycam footage.

Second, any actions by officers without bodycam footage should invalidate qualified immunity and any officers' testimony should be largely disregarded.

Third, lack of bodycam footage should give strong negative inferences in any civil trial where the police are defendants.

The police are incredibly bad at their job, when they even do it, which isn't that often. They are vastly overpaid. They routinely lie on the stand. This happens so often there's a term for it: testalying. They plant evidence. They routinely kill bystanders and then 19 of them cower in fear while one gunman is allowed to keep killing children (ie Uvalde). They steal from suspects. They abuse civil asset forfeiture for more (legalized) theft. Pretty much all they do is harass and commit violence towards minorities.

If any prosecutors dare prosecute any police for their crimes, they'll suddenly find that police witnesses in their case mysteriously start missing court appearances, tanking that prosecutor's conviction rates, which is really the only thing they care about.

Some police (eg the LA County Sheriff's Department) are essentially criminal gangs [1].

Define 'witty'.
you cant because tutanota has no POP/SMTP/IMAP so its basically just a web form. you could of course add PGP to any such communication medium but it wont be very standard
I'm not sure if overall literacy rates were as high in the past (in the sense of "what percentage of people can read"), but among those who could read, the level of reading and writing skill was dramatically higher. Consider that the works of Charles Dickens were released serially, and crowds of people thronged stores to pick up the latest addition to his stories when they arrived. Those are not books that a typical modern reader would find accessible.
Are you trying to well-poison "caring" about the scope and quality of entertainment media? What's your aim here? Am I supposed to pretend that total randoms flooding entertainment media with their off-topic pretentious garbage is normal and alright?
I did call them, they were in a different state. They were sympathetic, but honest in that this sort of thing doesn't hit their minimum level of interest to do anything with.
The BGS is a "dumb" relay and mirror of the network, so it generally shouldn't matter which one your client app is ultimately sourcing data from.

But yes, anyone is free to operate a BGS. It does necessarily require a non-trivial amount of storage, compute, and bandwidth. A funded startup, well-funded non-profit, or any just about any cloud provider could likely afford to run one.

It's also entirely possible to operate a BGS that only mirrors a slice of the network (for instance, only users in one country) if desired, which could in some cases make it affordable for a single user or small coop to operate.
Like sibling comment points out, the CPU and the rest of the universe can be considered indirect dependencies. Once you have everything you need to boot the Linux kernel (e.g. laws of physics, paid the power bill...), you're good to go ;)
People are picking on that lede tweet somewhat unfairly. Numbers in the rest of the article say that the same benchmark run between the two "pro" variants improves only 6%. And that's actually quite disappointing for a chip that's supposed to be a on a new semiconductor node. Not a lot of people make a laptop purchase decision over 6%.

> Look at the annual incremental performance increases seen from AMD and Intel and I think these gains compare pretty favorably. I read some 14th-gen Intel benchmarks and they were pretty indistinguishable from 13-gen benchmarks.

Exactly, because Raptor Lake and Alder Lake were fabbed on the same process (10nm++/Intel7, the name changed over the period for marketing reasons). That wasn't supposed to happen here, it was supposed to be new stuff.
Not entirely - Consulting is also doing more and more near-/off-shoring to cut costs
Rigid maybe, but still rather pointless (or at least, much weaker than the constitutions of countries such as the US). Parliament is sovereign in the UK - I'm not aware of any act of Parliament being struck down in recent history for violating the Magna Carta, nor could such a thing happen as I understand it.
Virtual Pinball.

In particular the open source Visual Pinball engine and the amazing content made for it and community around it. https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball. Also vintage pre-Windows computers and retro video gaming. Home computers in the 80s and early 90s were so unique, diverse and interesting. Each had strong opinions about what the future of personal computing could be, expressed in their own hardware, software library and community of enthusiasts.
I also never had Amazon tell me to just keep it. Even some small $5-$10 item I scuff at driving to the UPS store.

Walmart often tells me to keep $5-$10 items despite the fact I have Walmart+, they are often in the neighborhood and happy to leave it outside for pickup.
Right. Apple machines have never been top performers. The M* machines are just good compromise machines when you need to be mobile and are energy constrained. Or sometimes, if you spend $6000+, they can have competitive absolute performance specs, re: available RAM and RAM bandwidth for tasks like LLM.
The more I think about this the more I start to doubt it..
You grew up in such an area and yet you've never heard the term "first nations"?
Wabanakis also fought the British and maintained their freedom.

The Penobscot Nation, the oldest government in the Western hemisphere, has never been conquered.
As has been pointed out, there are copies of it that contain the unprintable sections.

With that said it's worth mentioning that many laws, even in the U.S., aren't exactly printed or documented per say. Plenty of countries have unwritten constitutions; for example in Canada there is no mention of the Prime Minister in any constitutional document, it exists by legal convention.
It also turns out lots of the people making them like unions.
This is a cynical take that I don't think can be made honestly by anyone who has read the sections
I don't disagree but the brand is called 404.
Yeah, agreed.

The first name in that list is a guy who gave great reviews of a game by a developer who was sleeping with him.

Of course, due to one (or both? I forget which) of them being married, of course that fact had to be a secret.

In any other publication, the author's sexual liasons with the subject of the piece is considered a clear conflict of interest. Not so in gaming, it appeared.

phantomdk submitted 11 accusations to Hackernews in the last month (some flagged). How many reviews on Teamblind are also from the same user?
Yeah Etsy also had different tiers. The top tier machines were the ones earmarked for the Search devs, because they had to run an Elasticsearch cluster or something. So the trick was to make a couple contributions to Search to justify getting upgraded to a Search VM : ]
This does come up often and it's a good question. I think the easiest way to answer this is that most members of HN use ad blockers like uBlock Origin [0] and other style editing addons that can modify HTML/CSS. Here is an example of using uBlock to add a dark mode to HN. please forgive the color scheme I'm weird, adjust as you see fit [1]

Addons -> uBlock Origin Preferences -> My Filters

# HN Color

Adjust the colors to meet your preferences. [1] there is probably a better HTML color chart

Some other uBlock Origin examples specific to HN:

To filter some topics of submissions

# Filter some topics with regex
# top (title / url)
news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing span.titleline > a:has-text(/(itcoin|lockchain|202[3-9]$)/):upward(tr)
# bottom (stats / comments)
news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing span.titleline > a:has-text(/(itcoin|lockchain|202[3-9]$)/):upward(tr) + *

To hide usernames to avoid bias some people like this

# HN Username
news.ycombinator.com## td > table > tbody > tr > .default > div > .comhead > .hnuser
news.ycombinator.com##.subline > .hnuser
news.ycombinator.com##.hider.clicky

Hide discussion threads if one wants some news but avoid temptation of discussions taking a break or anti-addiction so to speak, comment out to re-enable discussion threads.

# HN Thread Comments

California startup to 'sponge' CO2 from the atmosphere
This is just the modern get rich playbook, repeated ad nauseum for the last decade. It's all one big scam against US taxpayers who end up eating the bill in the form of inflation and higher taxes. Go to an elite school, leverage that to convince someone to give you a hundred million dollars, pay yourself an exorbitant salary for 5-10 years while pretending to run a company, then walk away loaded with an "our great journey" post once the charade folds.

and ... there's an available toilet on the side of the road where you pulled the person over? and it's not occupied? and the driver doesn't drive away while you're in there? and the driver doesn't make a complaint? and your dashcam (which can't be turned off) is recording the entire thing but nobody ever investigates the 90 minutes of missing footage during which time you were using the computer to look up information and/or write a citation?

I'm strongly in favor of strict requirements to use bodycams (to the point where I think if the cop/prosecutor doesn't have camera footage of the entire interaction, it should be grounds for case dismissal. But the above is some pretty conspiratorial level thinking
I retired three years later so have lost touch. But before I left a couple of new procurements were starting up, and I attended at least one meeting where the separate customers were in fact in the same room and playing nicely with each other, which was a very good sign. The acquisition authority had also established some cross-cutting functions (design, contractual support) that would in theory support the new projects coherently, when they reached that point.

As my career progressed, I got a better handle on the genuine cultural issues behind some of the customer-level differences. For example, one particular category of user had very different career progressions / longevity in different parts of the overall organisation (heroes in one part, zeros in the other, approximately). This affected the relative prioritisation of the relevant requirements by the respective customers, and the perceived value and affordability of solutions, in a way that overshadowed the tech-focussed arguments younger-techie-me would have made.
At which point there’s going to be questions about why you were in the can for 90 minutes.
Sure, then they're left with a pretty incriminating pattern of behavior when someone objects to the officers behavior during that traffic stop.
Going by Henry Ford's "faster horse" quote, I prefer my media to be aspirational, to assume potentially too much of me and be disappointed, not the other way around.
That is actually fascinating.
I only have one kid but our experience matched yours: we didn't change our own eating habits once we had a kid (well, fewer restaurants) and kid got what we got (not solid food when baby of course, and milder curries) so there wasn't really much to argue about. We didn't care what he ate when visiting friends, or at school, and didn't make a big deal about it. Two parents from two countries, both immigrants: our food was just what it was. Now he's grown up and eats better than I do.

And that was my own experience too: 60 years ago we brought "weird" lunches compared to the other kids at school. We all traded a bit of course and I don't remember it being a big deal, though my sister complained so maybe I was just an oblivious nerd.
Last year's benchmarking software benchmarks last years top-tier chips on par with this year's mid-tier chips... Go figure. What's the story here?

Not saying it's wrong, but it's always best to wait for benchmarks of real-world scenarios covering what you're actually trying to do, especially when this launch was so GPU-focused on Transcoding, Ray Tracing, and ML.
There's going to be a question about an hour and half later spent in the toilet.
You fundamentally misunderstand why people pay for those things.

They’re not paying to get news/articles about _a_ topic, they’re paying to get news/articles _from specific people_.
Prevent the ability to turn it off for longer than x minutes and more than n times in a shift.
Right, so when there’s a lawsuit or investigation against the cop where they conducted a traffic stop at the time they were supposed to be in the toilet and there is no footage of this traffic stop, that should be instant evidence towards wrongdoing.
Personal anecdote but I started with the couch to 5k app, wasn't working for me. I ended up switching to the Nike Run Club app and initially used their Guided Runs to help get started (They have a massive amount). The host of the run talking really took me out of the run and made it easier.

Also, going super slow at the start to warm up, picking up speed gradually. I look as the distance as the goal and not the time. After about 10 months I recently hit a 27:30 PR at 35 (quit smoking 2 years ago). There's hope out there.
The heat, battery life, speakers, microphone, display, connectivity, and more have improved in that time as well. I'd rather have a low end new Mac than a high end old Mac.
As a potential game player, why do I care about that? Is the game any good? What is it about?
I completely get where you are coming from on this.

However, I do find it enjoyable when you allow yourself to get lost in, for instance, a great opera song accompanied with cool images.

There is beauty in letting go of this guilt for not being 100% productive all the time.
That is not evidence. It is just talking. I mean number of attacks, organization of attacks, if other countries do not do what these do... everything together, unbiased.

I would like to be able to have an idea to compare things in a fair way.

I do not mean you are wrong. I am just a person that believes what he sees. Not what others day they see. For this, real research is the best tool we have.
