So you must believe that Steve can't condition the sale of his secret with Bob upon Bob's behavior, according to you? Steve can't say, "Bob, this is yours as long as you don't tell fluoridation. If you break this, you forfeit ownership of this secret, and it is now mine again."

What mechanism prevents Bob and Steve from entering into such an agreement? To me, that would be a violation of freedom, to limit the kinds of agreements people can enter into.

Besides, if one could enter into such an agreement, what would you call the deliberate violation of the agreement, resulting in you knowingly possessing what then becomes Steve's secret again upon sale to you? To me, knowingly possessing something that does not belong to you seems like a fair definition of theft.

If you don't believe people are free to enter into contingent ownership agreements, I do think you'll have a pretty large problem with capitalism, even separate from intellectual property, as it questions the very nature of both freedom and ownership. Even by your own definition of "control", wouldn't I not have control over something if I can't concoct whatever rules for that thing that I like?

On these smart fridges, I struggle to see how these are anything but gimmicks undermining the device's lifespan. Most cooking requires items from many sources. You can check your milk but what about the flour in the cupboard? AI reminders. Is that a subscription service or are advertisers being given your data?

How long are these manufacturers promising to support the hardware? If the fridge is internet-connected and support ends, at what point is that a security risk? This generally applies to most purchases these days...

Yeah, he was their lead of training. He had worked in small to medium banks and then tried to set up a consulting business but that's hard enough without having the temperament that leads to putting a co-worker in a choke hold. I _can_ imagine worst managers but he was pretty tough for me, since I didn't want to waste my time doing poor work when I could be doing good work.

So this system was about as user-friendly as you can imagine any 30+ year old bank management software. They would sent a team to on-board new banks. The team would usually have this manager or his subordinate, a networking guy, senior support staff. This manager happened to be very hard of hearing but was unwilling to get a hearing aid or sort that out. So him and the others were out drinking after the previous day was over and he was trying to hit on a lady that clearly wasn't interested but he couldn't hear her clearly nor read her lips well enough to take a clue. The next day, in the bank, the networking guy who had been there forever and was friends with the President said something about how he couldn't take a hint and my manager lost his cool, put him in a headlock in the middle of the bank, and probably came to his senses a few minutes later. He was sent back early and the story returned with the rest of the team. This was a small / medium business and he was relieved of joining the on-boarding crews but kept his job.

Lots of mixed feelings about that place. While it paid terribly, it is the only place I've worked in 20 years where there was an honest to god retirement party for one of their QA staff.

You can render the view from scratch on every user interaction, even in MVC. In fact, you can use React for that purpose. "Lots of people use React as the V in MVC." See that quote on this page: https://github.com/facebook/react/tree/015833e5942ce55cf31ae...

Not mutually exclusive. I can feel bad for my friends who insist on using WhatsApp, Gmail, Facebook. That's their choice to do. I am not friends with 7bn people. I am extrapolating and considering that majority of humans care more for convenience and much-much-less on Privacy. And since I cannot do anything about it, I am doing what I can do about it. Make sure my family has a better future.

People feel both good and bad when eating junk food. In this case, people consume Gmail, and I merely bet on the horse that will most likely win (GAFAM/FAANG).

I warn people of the risks of plastering their kids' photos all over the social media - thus potential exposure to pedos. That's also a privacy & safety issue.

You've been in HN since 2017. You must have seen these/or similar discussions and links. Big bosses of social media don't let their kids consume their own services. Yet these companies make billions.

I don't drink coke, pepsi, etc. Many people do. It hurts them. You can't call me out for buying Coke or Pepsi stocks. I feel bad for them, but I feel good for me.

I don't push people to use Gmail, that would make me an accomplish. But hey, if they WANT to use Gmail, thank you, I will gladly take that dividend, while some insurance company 30 years from now will screw your kids over the premium for a life insurance, and YOU (the parent) caused it.
IMO this can lead to a different problem: boredom. I worked at a previous job where the primary product was in KTLO mode, and the company was really just waiting to be acquired. Not much to do, and nobody cared.

I suppose it's really a spectrum in the end.

noob question but how does one actually use prettier? i find that the formatting just make the code less readable. is the goal to train yourself to be able to read prettier-formatted code as well as you could read your own hand-formatted code?

when i'm in the thick of it working on a piece of code, writing some logic and have everything laid out the way that makes sense to me and then i hit cmd + s and BOOM all the lines get shifted and wrapped and i'm ripped out of my flow i wondering what the heck it is i'm now staring at. sometimes i disable prettier on save and just run it on a pre-commit hook because at that point who cares that the code is unreadable to me.

Old Norse is a Nordic langauge, which makes it a North Germanic language, which, in turn, makes it a Germanic language.

Nordic languages (a family of languages) are descended from Proto-Nordic (a language).

Germanic languages (a family of languages) are descended from Proto-Germanic (a language).

Germanic languages are Indo-European languages, which have Proto-Indo-European as a root language.

You are not wrong in saying that Proto-Germanic and Old-Norse are IE languages. But it's also like saying that nickles and coins are currency, it doesn't mean that nickels are not coins.

This is why I never fully trusted Google with smaller Desktop software. With the exception of their main desktop software, Chrome, they have the tendency to break things or not maintain it or test it fully.

Some examples:

- Current Google One VPN seems broken on macOS Sonoma (apparently works with some accessibility tweaks) and also Windows 11 users report similar things. Why not fix or update it? I guess nobody is responsible at Google's side for it.

- When they switched their Google Drive software they used their own version of FUSE (maybe still do?) and it broke the macFUSE.

My solution for the Google Drive part: I use for years now https://www.insynchq.com/ for synchronising my Google Drive (btw it also supports Linux) because I trust those third party sync software more than Google's own (and that says something).

Can you please name some right wing opinions that used to be banned, and is no longer banned?

Be specific.
So if a business owns something, it cannot contingently sell that thing to a person?

I'm not sure I agree with that. Businesses are ultimately owned by people, and in reality, a "business" sale boils down to one person exchanging goods for payment with another person. Sometimes those goods are digital, and sometimes those digital goods are only sold contingently. By agreeing to the contingencies, you're giving your word to someone that you will abide by the conditions of the sale.

Or are people not free to enter into contracts, in your view? I strongly disagree with that, but that's the only way what you're saying would work, based on my understanding.

Well yes, that's what governments do. They regulate things (it's usually called laws, which the regulations are not called, so it is clear they have to be translated into local law first), they make deals, they coordinate responses. What do you expect the EU to do?
Musk has explicitly and repeatedly said that his standard for free speech is that which complies with the law in any given country. The logic is that domestic laws represent the will of their citizens and it shouldn't be a corporation's (or a billionaire's) responsibility to second guess this.

Quote — "By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect. Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people." [0]

Quote — "Like I said, my preference is to hew close to the laws of countries in which Twitter operates. If the citizens want something banned, then pass a law to do so, otherwise it should be allowed." [1]

Personally I think this the only sane stance for a corporation like Twitter/X. We shouldn't be looking to capitalist non-democratic corporations as an end-run around governments — especially democratic governments.

I've been growing increasingly skeptical of Musk for years now, and his unhinged behavior at twitter has really cemented my negative opinion of him.

If he didn't want people like me to start ignoring him, and dismissing whatever nonsense products he wants to shill, then he shouldn't have started attaching his name to bullshit culture wars. Now, it doesn't matter if a claim made about him is true or not, I no longer give him the benefit of the doubt, and I don't have the desire or the energy to thoroughly investigate every stupid little fight he gets in anymore. This is a problem of his own making.

Show HN: I made an AI video search tool
I made a tool that lets you search your videos with AI on your computer - no need to upload to the cloud and it works offline. You can search the content of your videos with searches like, "a funny moment," "sad boy," or "close up scene of woman smiling."

When you get back the search results/video clips, you can export the clips with markers to Adobe Premiere Pro.

I made this because I found it could save me time watching videos before importing them to Premiere. But I've also found I enjoy it for browsing my media as it more visual than the Finder on a Mac.

I'm curious if other people would also find it useful. It's available to download here for MacOS (Apple Silicon), with a demo video of how it works: https://golivecosmos.com

It's priced as a one time payment of $40 and the download would include lifetime support and links to download any updates to the tool.

Knockout was designed in the heyday of the "progressive enhancement" era so it seems hard for me to claim a Knockout influence/inspiration if I'm not at least contemplating "progressive enhancement" of some sort. SSR isn't really my goal on that front but progressive enhancement/SSG (static site generation) certainly is a side goal for me (that's what I would like to have to self-host my own documentation site in something resembling the framework itself, rather than Jekyll or Docusaurus or whatever), but again not a main priority. It feels like the case for me where there is a lot of bleedover between SSR, SSG, and progressive enhancement and solving one basically solves all of them.

> I probably would not choose to use javascript or observables/signals.

This seems to be a case where we differ. In one obvious part because I don't tend to like signals and think they are very different from observables (because they are harder to encapsulate and offer fewer operators and tend to bleed too many accidental imperative escape hatches). Observables, to me, are just as useful to describe "open this file, read its contents, convert it from Markdown to HTML, then bind it to innerHTML here" on the server side as "fetch this URL, read its contents, convert it from Markdown to HTML, then bind it to innerHTML here" on the client side. Very different forms of interactivity, but there is still an interactivity there that a good observable pipeline can describe. Especially when you start to get into the idea that the difference between "open this file" and "fetch this URL" is tiny and can be dependency injected. Same component, slightly different inputs, slightly different expected outputs (you expect the server side binding to complete, whereas you expect the client side one to live for some time and continue to respond to different URLs from input).
