My understanding (i.e., personal experience) is that many areas only have one or two providers (same with health insurance). Without competition, it's not a true free market as the companies have no incentive to improve since everyone just has to deal with their subpar product or forego it all together.

Curiously, the city I'm currently living in will soon be rolling out it's own fiber and the existing providers are all scrambling to improve their infrastructure and "bribe" existing customers with free gadgets (e.g., Google home speakers, etc.) because they know that their current offerings are not competitive and that they would go out of business overnight if they stood by and did nothing in the meantime.
> I'm in Canada so HIPAA doesn't apply for me

But PIPEDA definitely applies to this situation, but PIPEDA only came into effect on April 2020 so it would depend upon when you were a student.
It's powerful to have your front-end library automagically run code returned by your API, sure.

But you can't hand-wave the security concerns of that away by ridiculing the people trying to discuss them.

There is a fundamental difference between your server returning data versus returning code. If you don't want to accept that, fine, it's your project, or career, whatever. But if you conduct extensive ad hominems against people (I'm not a fan of "Devrels" but jeez, that part of this post felt like blatant character assassination) instead of just debating the facts then you're a douche and no better than the people you're disparaging.

I think HTMX is an interesting project that I'll probably give a try at some point. But breathless cultish hype of it has already turned me off. I don't even know if React got this much attention!?
You can have a nuclear missile in your pocket and still be a victim of a guy with a rock that comes up to you from behind. The idea that Israel can't be a victim because they are stronger militarily is absurd, the whole point of terror and guerilla warfare is to win asymmetrically while being militarily inferior
My former employer does a layoff pretty reliably in early December every year. The optics are always poor even if their rationale is sound.
Furthermore, what is stopping Google/Alphabet from exercising their IP rights (i.e. They own a patent for the transformer architecture)? Sure it would be bad publicity, but it seems like they could prevent a ton of competition by simply enforcing that on a few large competitors.
This seems completely overkill.

I don't even like having to clear my history and wtv regularly. I use incognito mode most times.

You can fit an astounding number of elephants through the loopholes in HIPAA:

And then there's the HHS interpretation of the above for providers, which is... porous:

Of particular note are the exemptions in 45 CFR 164.512(k)(2) applicable to powers granted by executive order 12333 (on mass surveillance). When this exemption is used it makes discovering whether, when, how, or why your data was collected or used practically impossible.

Primarily cost. In 1975, the 6800 cost $175 (which was already a dramatic reduction from the initial price of $360); the 6502 launched that year at $25.

Motorola dropped prices on the 6800 in response, but they still couldn't match MOS's pricing.
TBF- Mosiuoa Lekota, who literally went to jail with Nelson Mandela, should probably be listened to more than the random journalist you cited.

I read the article though and it basically is saying that right wing extremism in Israel is doing some things reminiscent of Apartheid South Africa. That doesn't sound systemic - more like a warning that people need to stand up to the right wing extremism is Israel. Fair point. But definitely does not lend credence to the claim that there is widespread systemic Apartheid.
Layer Normalization as Fast as Possbile
Stephen Fry described TV as the nation’s fireplace, with the implication that shared viewing of a common canon strengthens cultural connections with other people.

It’s like how millennials can drop a Simpsons quote into a conversation with their peers and everybody gets the reference.

Peak TV has annihilated this. Nobody watches the same stuff anymore.

Did you catch the latest season of Current Thing? No, because there’s no Current Thing any more, there’s a thousand of them.

The more we watch, the more isolated we become.
If a company provides a severance package, then a Dec layoff is almost certainly too late to have any impact on the bottom line.

I am still taken aback when they do these holiday layoffs. My employer (Nextdoor) cut 25% of the company in November, and it's hard not to see the timing as a particularly brutal power play.
You don't have to be a permaculture gardener to have skepticism about highly processed artificial inputs to biological systems. Fungal and insect biome that break down and live within decaying organic matter represent hundreds of millions of years of development. Ancient Taoist philosophy is centered on the wisdom of aligning with natural process. IMHO modern science is learning, but still knows so little about natural systems, particularly relationships within insect, fungi and angiosperm communities which are the objective core of botanical systems. We live in exciting times, but the future of agriculture is certainly not DDT, trucking in guano from Pacific Islands, and John Deere harvesting machines.
A colleague that used to work in the aviation industry told me that they always had layoffs on the 23:rd or 24:th.

I believe it had something to do with the yearly reporting and the people doing the reporting being on holy day between Christmas and new year.
Like the linux kernel?
There are multiple categories of objectives... Objectives that motivated the test flight. Objectives that are expected to succeed. Objectives that you threw on because "if the $xx million object is still intact it would be nice to get some useful data, and the FAA wants a complete flight plan anyways".

If that last category doesn't succeed that doesn't mean the test flight was a "failure" from the businesses perspective. They still got what they wanted, they just didn't get the icing on top.

The test flight that destroyed the pad is properly categorized as a failure. The flight termination system was expected to work. They expected not to cause that much damage to their infrastructure and surroundings, their relationship with the FAA, their ability to get licenses, etc. To argue that it wasn't a failure, you have to argue that the flight termination system was in the category of systems where a failure was considered acceptable. If that was the case, everyone involved in launching that flight ought to to go jail for recklessly endangering the public.

The most recent test flight though seems to have been a pretty resounding success. Everything that they said they really wanted to see happen, happened. Yes, both stages had failures in "we might not even get here" test objectives after that. That's ok.
Do you support Prisma? I don't recommend using Drizzle because their migrations tool is completely proprietary and closed source, but they bundle it with their open source offering in a bait and switch.
What were Von Braun's reasons for something akin to a Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit? Links anyone?

The SmarterEverDay concerns about the orbit seemed to be that while landing or taking off maneuvers were short & low energy (good), it meant the opportunity only came about every couple days (bad).

SED also stressed that Artemis is relying on crulyonic fuel transfer. SED repeatedly pointed out this is a tech that has never been tested, ever.
I have a hard time saying how much this particular application cost to run, because I use the Voice+Vision APIs for so many different projects on a near daily basis and haven't implemented a prompt cost estimator.

But I also pay for ChatGPT Plus, and it's sooo worth it to me.

If you'd like to skip Plus and use something else, I don't think my project is the right one. I'd STRONGLY suggest you check out TypingMind, the best wrapper I've found: https://www.typingmind.com/
How can you give an award to an upcoming game? By definition that game is not finished yet...
Yes. I frequently get asked by laypeople about how likely I think adverse effects of AI are. My answer is "it depends on what risk you're talking about. I think there's nearly zero risk of a Skynet situation. The risk is around what people are going to do, not machines."
The fact that Israel is stronger doesn't seem especially relevant. We're not talking about a couple kids fighting during recess. The weaker side isn't automatically right and the stronger side can't be expected to moderate its response when we're talking about the murder of ~1000 civilians.

It's also absurd to think Israel should chill out and let the US handle its defense. As if an occasional murder-raid and constant rocket fire is just something Israel should tolerate because, if the Arabs actually invade again, the US will bail them out.

That aside, Israel should do more to avoid civilian casualties. And it should treat captives better than this story indicates.

I am not sure Google wants to be exciting. They seem to spend much of the time keeping their head down, getting on with stuff and making lots of money. It's a rare strategy nowadays, but not necessarily a bad one.
> So they likely don't really care anymore.

I don't think that's possible.
1) It's difficult and very costly for new competitors to enter markets.

2) It's often impossible (without moving) for consumers to choose a competitive service.
When questions like this come up, this is one of the two sets of "rules" that I often point to.

The other is Tania Rascia's (which shows each rule being applied to the same example, instead of each rule being demonstrated in a vacuum). I think the two different ways of illustrating the impact of each "rule" can be helpful for a pretty wide range of folks who often think in different modes.

Think the fact that the leases are coming due over the next few years rather than all at once will prevent a bailout? Might just be a slow decline like old factories in Chicago that sat vacant for a while and then got snapped up for commercial space since they were so cheap.

>I want you to know something else, which is that the Palestinian Authority and President Mahmoud Abbas do not represent us, the Palestinian people, at all. We reject authority and we reject Abbas and all his ministers. I do not know whether you have heard of the security coordination agreement between the Zionist occupation and the Palestinian Authority. Years ago, the Palestinian Authority concluded an agreement under which it would serve the occupying entity in terms of security. That is, all the young Palestinian activists who fight the Zionist occupation in one way or another and the occupation cannot arrest them, the Palestinian Authority pursues them, arrests them, and hands them over to the occupation, and then no one knows the fate of that young man or that girl. These do not represent us, nor any other Palestinian. These are completely rejected in the Palestinian street, but unfortunately they are officially and internationally recognized by the United Nations and supported by the United States of America.
If that forces the US to simplify their tax system it might end up being the only positive that comes from this war.
Getting laid off in December is tough. But it's better than getting laid off in January after coming back to work from holidays, with plans for the year ahead. At least this way, folks can recuperate with their family, and then hit the job market in January.

Or do others disagree?
Great, I paused my project just waiting on this issue

These last months open source has churned out several projects that are components to what I'm experimenting on and it feels great to be able to build on top of solid projects
The Rafah crossing is one of about half a dozen border crossings in Gaza. Is it really so out of the question that Israel allow civilians to seek refuge within Israel while they wage their campaign? I am fully aware that it would be politically unpopular, but without allowing that to happen I find it hard to take Israeli politicians at their word when they claim they are doing everything to minimise civilian casualties.
I am sad and angry that the US was the sole vetoer of the most recent attempt. Also sad that Israel's vengeful assault on the people of Gaza is enabled and funded by the US.
Yes it is. And it is because Microsoft has not only been creating languages and tooling, but platforms.

It's miles ahead in tooling. Look at the tools for programming against their database, it unprecedented. VS code and VS are great tools. Some might say rider but it does not add anything to my tool chain VS does not offer.

The language features of .NET are evolving with features that does not break compatibility nor following trendy fads. When they are adding things they do it with clear intent and through years long validation.

The platform is vast and well supported within the .NET ecosystem.

With its open source approach it had become even a bigger joy.

Not to mention documentation which is also unmatched.
I would say that Android is a viable substitute for Apple and vice versa when it comes to phones though. So I think there actually is a viable substitute. Customers can absolutely choose the one they want. But again if you redefine the market to Apps you can install on IOS then certainly that's a monopoly. I just question if that's a reasonable way to define the market.
Most builtin modules should work (except for things like `vm` which we cannot safely sandbox in edge runtime). Deno has a good guide on the compatibility of built-in modules https://docs.deno.com/runtime/manual/node/compatibility

You can do:
```
import os from "node:os"
console.log(os.hostname())
```

and it should just work both locally and when deployed. No extra steps needed.
well, that's what's happening now and everyone is whining about it
I think a prompt cost estimator might be a nifty thing to add to the UI.

Right now there's also a daily API limit on the Vision API too that kicks in before it gets really bad, 100+ requests depending on what your max spend limit is.
Your maneuvering system just needs to be able to get tanks spinning.
> car MSRPs are essentially never advertised (outside of Tesla)

I just went to websites of Honda, Toyota and Mazda and every car prominently shows the MSRP.
> but that also the number of taxes and fees are ridiculous?

You know ISPs go out of their way to artificially inflate the number of taxes and fees they charge you, right?

If every company took the approach ISPs took, then every recipe in the U.S. would be the length of a CVS receipt, listing out every minor and incidental tax and fee the company happened to pay as part of its operating procedures. You don’t see stores passing on “electricity fees”, and “union negotiations taxes” etc etc, because only ISPs take affront at the idea that they should pay for their business expenses, rather that passing them on a additional itemised billing items to their customers.
As I explained in the pinned comment at the top (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38616662) and my other posts in this thread, comments in this thread must not be in the spirit of battle, but rather of something more spacious within ourselves. It's not always possible to find that (for many legitimate reasons), but in that case it's best to refrain from posting until one can.

I'm afraid your comments in this thread are crossing out of that and back in to the spirit of battle. This is 100% understandable and I get it, but we need something else in this discussion.

The same goes for some of the commenters arguing against your position—my moderation point here is certainly not about agreeing with them and disagreeing with you (I add this because I know it can all too easily feel that way).
For the record I'm in the program too and badged in the Google Photos community.
If enough of these companies start doing these “forecastings”, what are the odds that these forecasts end up causing the very event to happen.

Some stats in an index goes down, companies forecast annual sales downfall, starts cutting workforce in every industry, consumption tanks, makes the sales downfall a reality.

Also, really ? Being laid of at Christmas time ?, to save a few bucks, its not like hasbro’s going bankrupt or anything.

Humans do trade to improve each other’s quality of life, and not do things just for profit. It’s a means to an end, not the end. Too many companies are making their eyes into excel sheets, and ending up causing the very downfall by preparing for the downfall that they “anticipate”.
It’s a critique of the name of their newly released statistics, which apparently assumes “what we watched” is equivalent to “what people watched on Netflix”, which may have been the state of things 5 years ago but isn’t the state of things at all anymore.
It's not too hard to figure out that this one of those cowboy sites operating from Ukraine¹ with quite dubious claims as to their legality:

https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/2412fb/the_web...

https://torrentfreak.com/riaa-and-mpaa-report-notorious-pira...

The gist seems that buying stuff there may be legal if you are Ukrainian or are actually in Ukraine, and quite probably isn't if you are anywhere else.

The RIAA certainly considers them shipless pirates. You are probably paying criminals, and almost certainly are not paying artists.

1: There seem to be a bunch of them, which smells a bit like a coordinated effort.
In a system like that, how do you decide which authors get paid what? Is it per check-out with a floor?

I'm genuinely curious.
Who set the criteria for occupying force, refugee population?
I have a hunch a lot of companies that layoff in December are also motivated by the bonus structure. Many companies structure their bonus pay around the new year in line with their fiscal calendar, either paying at the beginning of the year or entitling them to the bonus paid out later in the year.
You said there are a “few” choices. Then you with your own free will are perfectly capable of buying one of those few devices are you not?

There is very much a choice of homebrew applications - buy one of the “few” devices you admitted existed and develop for it.

You could even buy one of the Linux phones.

> So sure, you personally may be able to buy development boards specifically but when you can't get your software to the average person's device, what does that mean for adding competition to the market?

The “average” person decided that they didn’t care about obtaining homebrew applications enough to buy such a device.

> I'd much rather live in a world where being more open means there might be some malware lurking as opposed to one where everything is so locked down that I am at the mercy of what these large corporations deem acceptable for me to do on hardware that I "own" in the name of safety and security.

And you are free to make that trade off and buy such a device.

Strong disagree. For anyone who makes enough to be getting severance, it's better to have it in the new tax year.
In the top 50, I've see Night Agent (give it a 7), Luther (6-7), Extraction 2 (6).

I've heard good things about Beef, and maybe Kaleidoscope. Kaleidoscope is novel because it's an 8 episode heist show that, in theory, can be watched in any order and be cogent. Arguably, this is one reason I have not watched it. Not a big fan of gimmicky things.

Of course there's also the bit of the "how can there be 18,000 shows and nothing to watch?"
Israel controls who gets in and out from Egypt to Palestine and when/how many aid trucks get it. Now imagine how much they control Palestine.
