>to which most adults wouldn’t have time or interest to go on

Directly contradicted by abundant evidence in this very thread. It was popular with different age groups.

So the mall is a good analogy. It attracts teens, and therefore predators. Should the mall be responsible if someone gets groped? It seems that you would say yes, they are. I disagree, because I think we need things like malls, and they will always attract people and therefore predators.
Their headphones called Fairbuds XL do have a replaceable battery.
> System76 claims 14 hours, and I managed 11 hours in our battery drain test (looping a 1080p video). In real-world use, I frequently eked out over 13 hours. That’s off the charts better than any other Linux laptop I’ve tested recently.

This is the most intriguing part to me. I've been mulling a Framework for a while but what's held be back so far is that the battery life is 9-10 hours after tuning, and I'd love it to be longer. 11 hours of continuous video on this laptop is pretty impressive for a Linux laptop I think. My Dell XPS 13 feels like it needs to go onto the charger every 4 hours so this would be a huge improvement.
I'm happy to get unexpected solutions to a problem on HN; that's what we're all here for.

This reply though shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what I'm asking. Children irritate me and I want to block them out to the maximum degree that I am able. I have no interest in making any, or in taking care of somebody else's.

Talk about lack of empathy. "I mean, how could anybody not like children? They probably just haven't been exposed to children enough."

If somebody came here asking how to avoid street dogs in developing countries, the answer wouldn't be "spend lots of time with street dogs".
It's really hard to find quality programming on the streaming services. A lot of the original Contant seems to be going for quantity over quality.

I think greed is what kills good programming. Quality cost money, but there never seems to be enough money, and if the program is successful, then the people want more money to keep making it. Studios pushback, people, leave the project, and many of them eventually fail or slowly die.

Maybe it's an ego problem..
If you offered me a lot of money and unlimited timeline I'd have done it as well, and I don't know what Servo is.

A replaceable battery just means I’m going to dump a phone with a replaceable battery into an e-waste landfill whenever I want a brand new phone.

WebKit is still very embedding-friendly, though building it on Windows is messy. Works great under macOS and Linux though.

We absolutely need more embeddable web engines though. Gecko is nice but it being permanently joined at the hip with XULRunner is killing it.
I'm Irish and the ruling relates to the double-irish tax break specifically, it's about marketing for this tax evasion tactic. It's a hot topic in Ireland; Ireland looks like one of the richest countries on Earth (by GDP) but most Irish aren't feeling this. It's the huge amounts of money flowing through this double-irish loophole that creates the false GDP number. The loophole should end and paying the tax means closing the loophole.

What does any of that have to do with poop?

First study had "mixed results," second is about a healthy level of musculature (ie the preference was for men without dangerous levels of atrophy), third says that too much muscle was as unattractive as too little and again all three focus only on upper body attractiveness which is clearly distinct from overall attractiveness, and again suffer from similar sampling/methodology issues as your first study. The fourth is based on references to the others and self reported sense of attractiveness in men.
fair enough, then substantially increased taxes on devices that are sold non-repairable to price in the externalised costs on the environment?
In a situation where I'm adding a new feature to the language, with a new syntax that causes me to add a new rule to the grammar, I'm concerned that the new rule will accidentally "capture" some code that already exists in the wild, that was previously derived by another part of the grammar.

To give a very ugly example, if you have a language with function calls f(expr, expr, expr) and you want to add tuple syntax to expressions with a brand new rule:

expr := expr COMMA expr

Then you might have accidentally turned all functions into unary functions, as the tuple rule captures the "expr, expr, expr" part and leaves you with f(expr).
Ask HN: Where to find clients to grow my Webdev Agency?
I am trying to build a webdev/design agency. I have built a small website (https://quickly.codes) and I am now trying to find clients to do work for.

Any suggestions on where to find this work? Is anyone interested in getting their webdev/design work done for them?

> Giving them direct control over your day to day spending is a solid step towards authoritarianism.

They already have that control via Visa/Mastercard, banks, limits on max amount of cash for transactions, limits on inter state travel with large amounts of cash, and so on... and the world is not authoritarian in the west. In the east it is, and they still have cash.

Voting for wrong people leads to authoritarianism... Or russia invading you and placing their puppets in charge or revolutions...
Not sure how I’m making fun of anything, training wheels inherent purpose is to train you to ride a bike without them. A lighter isn’t meant to teach you how to spontaneously light fires once it’s out of fuel, nor is dropping off clothes at a clothing store going to teach you how to sew.
How does the price of private parking garages interact with curb-side parking and curb-side amenities?

Frankly I think the fact that a private parking garage space costs $225,000 should make us question further why we are content giving up such valuable public street space so that one person can park their vehicle.

If it costs $225,000 to park your vehicle for a year in a parking garage, imagine how insanely valuable the ground-level spaces are that we casually give up to a handful of vehicles so they can run in to Starbucks on Broadway. And presumably you're nodding along saying yes, that's the best use of that space.
> Can you point me at data?

The National walkability index guide [0] gives suburbs a "below average" walkability score.

Informally, there's also a website called Walkscore [1], where users rate walkability in many cities and towns across the US. Even most cities rank lower than 60 out of 100, and suburbs, given the almost nation-wide aversion to mixed use buildings, do not rank higher.

Coming from Europe, it was a huge shock when I knew that I would have to walk 15 minutes to reach the closest grocery store. That, and the fact that in the US, sidewalks seem to disappear at random intervals for whatever reason.

Killing trees for short term gain is just hatefully stupid.

This is "selling the last harvest before the storm" behaviour. You would think an olive stealing gang knew there was a smaller crop next year if you chainsaw the limbs of the tree off.

"I don't care" is awful. Analogies to the hive stealing in NZ come to mind, Manuka honey is so valuable, its frequently stolen by the same bike gangs which do meth dealing.
It seems odd that people would throw away an iPhone just because the battery is dead. Why not go to the store, get the battery replaced and sell it instead?
Here's a similar take from Joel Spolsky:

A long time ago, it became fashionable, even recommended, to disable menu items when they could not be used.

Don’t do this. Users see the disabled menu item that they want to click on, and are left entirely without a clue of what they are supposed to do to get the menu item to work.

Instead, leave the menu item enabled. If there’s some reason you can’t complete the action, the menu item can display a message telling the user why.
There is no control to this experiment. What would have happened to those 271 kids had he paid their tuition to Harvard, and also opened up the same access to them?

Also, what happened to the other 260 kids? I bet they would prefer that Harvard degree now
That's correct, their earphones were released first though and do not.

My issue is more with the completely unnecessary and never explained by the project removal of the headphone jack. Well, and that the timing was pretty obvious profit maximisation.

Yeah a parking-spot sized space is valuable. And yet the city is pretty much giving them away to drivers.

It's not even that. SciPy is paying the price of the idiotic (and highly biased) decisions of Python core-dev members who chose MSVC over MinGW for Python on Windows. (And their motivation is derived from Microsoft sponsorship. A bunch of people on core-dev list are straight-up Microsoft employees, who are paid by Microsoft to be on that list, and, on top of that, Microsoft pays for CI servers for CPython project).

This whole problem could've been avoided if Python just didn't use proprietary tools in its toolchain.
Are you sure that's an artifact of the light source emitting colors sequentially, and not an artifact of the camera sensor detecting colors sequentially?
> unless you are just trying to stop everyone else from ever submitting job applications

Sure. Less of them means more success for me. Or for my people, i.e. we here at Stanford hoard it in order to ensure the success of Stanford grads.

In principle I'm alright with the idea -- force people to limit themselves to 25 applications, stuff you really want, keep down the noise -- but what happens if people don't get a bite at 25? what are you forcing the hiring orgs to do?
This is self reported anecdata from the male perspective and I have to call out again your sexist language when you talk about high/low quality women.
You said they were wrong about getting a larger slice of the pie. Do you have any sources for this? Interested in learning more.
That is beautifully said. I too have had to learn in my life with a not entirely neurotypical brain that what connects people in everyday life is just that flawed humanness, and one's attitude towards it in oneself. There is admiration and dislike and other, more generic feelings towards others, but true connection comes from those little points of cognition and relating. Maybe that insight comes more naturally to many, but some of us had to think about this a bit more than others.
I have one running almost all the time. Bought it three years ago and it just works.

When I bought it, there was the option to not include a separate Graphics card. Onboard is just fine for me. And that brought down the price considerably.

However, they currently don't have that many AMD options for Laptops, so my next one probably won't be System76.

PopOS never did it for me. Not once did it survive a system upgrade. So I just switched back to Debian.
For those wondering "why lisp for music?", I wrote a chapter about this specifically in my recent Music Tech Master's Thesis, for which Scheme for Max was my thesis project. Might be of interest! (This is written to be accessible to a non-computer scientist audience, btw)

Or an alternative framing: using data can help to remove human biases and increase overall lifespans (which the studies have shown). How is it sociopathic to work on software that demonstrably saves lives?
> Hand-written parsers are even worse. Using an LR parser generator is worth the time investment.

I'm curious, what makes you say this? From what I've read online secondhand, people tend to recommend handwritten recursive descent parsing and Pratt/TDOP parsing, because it's easier to add good error messages and later add context sensitive productions (e.g. the way Clang resolves class-wide declarations while parsing C++: https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2012/07/05/how-clang-handles-t...).

I get caught off guard when people use "physical locks aren't actually that secure because the government can just make it irrelevant, but encryption is dangerously strong" as an argument against encryption, when it should be a tell about how terrifying your government is.

I think it's just me, but I find 99% of the original content shows on Netflix to be unwatchable. There is some combination of writing/acting/cinematic style that simply doesn't appeal to me.

Its LPDDR5 so not slow but nowhere near gddr either. Best as I can tell its just more parallel than usual setups - potentially made feasible by arm. If you look at altra etc they also seem to support loads of ram
> The judge's private keys would become extremely valuable of course, making the judges high level target: though I suspect they already are.

This is the real problem. This introduces a global vulnerability that isn't analogous to anything physical, like breaking down walls. There are almost 50,000 judges in the USA alone. Breaking into any one of their offices or houses, or bribing them, could grant you access to every phone or computer on the planet. A local magistrate doesn't have the authority to issue a warrant to break down every door in the USA, nor would the local police be able to execute such an order even if it could be issued. There are matters of scale here that are novel.
You're not the person I was speaking to, and that report seems off topic, talking about arabs outside Israel, who, like anyone outside any country, obviously does not have the same rights in the country as the country's own citizens.
The closest thing currently is probably https://github.com/trimental/inlyne which differs in two ways: it only support markdown not arbitrary HTML, and it renders to screen rather to an image. But it's a good start.

IMO the main blocker for web rendering in Rust right now is better text layout, and in particular support for embedding non-text content within text ala `display: inline-block`. If/when that is implemented I think we'll be able to do a decent job of rendering basic web pages.

Is ultra-processed the right thing to target? European countries seem to go for labeling that indicates the balance of macronutrients and other important things like sodium. In the UK there's a traffic light system for fat, sugar (or maybe carbohydrates more broadly) and sodium. Typical store-bought food in the US is so over-flavored that most of it would be in the red category for salt and sugar. I want to avoid all consumption of high-fructose corn syrup, give me a label for that.

And while we're at it, mandate that nutrition facts have to be printed for a standardized "amount". I hate comparing the label of one food that has 7g of protein per 123g serving and another that has 9g protein per 144g serving.
If you're only using stackoverflow to have someone read the docs to you, then I feel you're missing the point. There is so much between the lines, and the LLM isn't 100% there yet.

Why would someone buy this? What can you do with a Rhenium ingot?
You seem to be reversing cause and effect.

Sure, assuming (1) we can actually produce a rhenium CPU, and (2) we are unable to increase the production of rhenium then, yes, the price of rhenium will increase.

But it will increase precisely because we have a working rhenium CPU in production in the first place, which is what the article disputes is possible (due to its current rarity).

Furthermore, the price would skyrocket only if people are actually willing to pay a high price for these rhenium CPUs, which again means they’re worth the money.
As much as it pained me, the only news (sic) outlet that I could find displaying a full copy of the actual text of the job posting in its full glory was The Daily Mail.
Yeah, as I mentioned in the edit, we should also have a deposit for the replaceable battery, but at least it could be smaller, since it is just for the battery.
What would convince you to keep a phone significantly longer?
The T's FRR is the highest in the country: all of 30% or so. So it doesn't come close to giving acceptable service _or_ paying for itself.

The basic problem with the T is that it's a state agency. By which I mean, it depends on the support of the entire Massachusetts legislature, and if you are a legislator representing a district in western Mass, funding the T is a hard sell. Your constituents are going to be worried about crime, drugs, and unemployment, not a transit system that they'd have to drive for an hour to reach. The best you can do is make a general appeal to the Boston metro area as the entire economic engine of the Commonwealth, making its smooth running a win for all taxpayers in Massachusetts. Which, even though it's true, is not going to go over well with the public.

I've thought of one possible solution, which is to dissolve the T, blacklist and/or jail its top management as appropriate, and turn transit operations over to a new agency that's funded and run by only Boston-area communities who actually can point to a direct benefit from T service.
Ask HN: Are you actively fundraising? How has it been?

Problem is, the phone you want will also turn into e-waste.

How many people still use devices from 20 years ago? Jornada's had replaceable batteries and were far more configurable than today's devices. They still got tossed. As phones go, RAZRs are another example. Most are just laying in landfills today. The list goes on and on.

The e-waste problem goes wayyy beyond replaceable batteries. Nowadays you can't even send outdated tech to developing nations. The Chinese keep a lot of those nations well supplied with affordable recent phones for instance.

Tech improves, and no one wants the old stuff. That's the problem you have to solve to address the e-waste issue.
Show HN: CompanyCraft – custom ideas, market research, and business plans
Last fall I stepped away from the scaled startup I had led for 10 years so I could build something new. As I explored options, I got frustrated with how difficult it was to figure out business ideas that were unique to who I am and what I care about. There are tons of "Top 50 business ideas" lists out there, and of course ChatGPT can suggest some overly-generic things. However I wanted to extract my unique perspective and experiences and get help determining what businesses I should explore that matched up with my goals. The framework I built to do that was the starting point for CompanyCraft.

Over the last 10 months I've expanded the product into more of the startup journey. It now provides a full workflow covering idea generation, validation, and prioritization; automated market and competitor research and analysis; and business plan creation. All of this is done with the help of AI, short-cutting users' time to market, filling in gaps in their experience, and ensuring every aspect is custom-tailored to their passions, preferences, experiences, and goals.

You can check out a 5-min demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWU7h83ZO6Y

You can also download an example competitive analysis report here: https://app.companycraft.ai/resources/CompanyCraft_Competiti..., and an example business plan here: https://app.companycraft.ai/resources/Sample_CompanyCraft_Bu...

Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or a serial founder, CompanyCraft can help you go from fuzzy ideas to a successful launch, so try it out! Idea generation and validation is free to use, and if you want to use the paid features you can use the code SHOWHN (until Nov 15th) for a 20%-off discount.

Let me know your feedback both on the platform, as well as what's keeping you from starting your business. I want to help founders build businesses that improve the lives of the people they interact with, and use AI to have a positive impact on the world.
That's nice re: UNICEF. Frankly it's unlikely anybody knows the death count in Gaza - it won't be zero, but any charity that has access to Gaza does so on behalf of Hamas and some (UNHCR) even directly fund Hamas.

> Would you approve of the IDF bombing occupied Israeli apartments, schools, hospitals, etc if Hamas tunnelled under those?

It's unlikely that Israelis would let a terrorist organisation operate our of a school or hospital. But yes, the IDF would evacuate the area before engaging just like they do with Gaza.
you're assuming that the Mk 1 Eyeball does a better job of sorting through candidates than "crappy AI" resume.

And history has clearly proved that's just not the case.

Most resumes follow a template and are scanned for keywords and action-phrases. ATS software isn't smarter than that, outside of maybe making some guesses about you based on time worked at each job or if you're lacking attention to detail by not ending each bulletpoint with a period.
In libraries I visit, many books have an RFID tag stuck inside the cover.

The solution would be one where the user could just "ask the internet" to deliver them the content they're interested in watching, and they paid per-hour.

Of course we're not going to see that solution for many reasons.
