Read about (AI tools can help you) these topics:

1. How to identify valuable problems

2. What defines "value" for a customer

3. How to ideate on solutions to a problem

4. How to build a solid prototype that is good enough to demonstrate to potential customers

5. How to demo your prototype and collect feedback: customer discovery

Learning about these concepts and then trying them out should get you to a place where you can begin your path to entrepreneurship.

And remember: just because you can build something doesn't make it valuable to a lot of people or necessarily a path to a profitable business.

Good luck.
Never going to happen. Apple has been fighting any efforts that attempt to support building for iOS on non-Mac hardware.

I don't know why it matters so much, but it seems to matter to them. I doubt the little extra money they made back then from selling to developers would have mattered to them?

But like all tech giants, Apple is now refocusing on services rather than software and devices, so perhaps forcing all Apple developers into their build service is part of that effort.
I've found people have the most trouble taking full advantage of the cascading feature of css.
"Taking the order" means listening to their order, keying it in and taking payment. All of that is replaced by apps/kiosks, right? Of course somebody needs to pack it and send it to you.
I think the article would more strongly articulate its thesis if it offered some suggestions to improve the current notification system.
> But somehow Google does not sell or share any of your data with anyone

Well, except we know about PRISM, so it's not even a theory anymore. And all their ad system tapping into the user data is pretty creepy as well.

I don't want to share any data to Google because of their poor track record and Google makes it as hard as humanely possible to not do that.
Thanks! Indeed I've always paid cash for any new cars I've bought. But I still don't see how companies that provide leases are able to purchase a car, lease it out for cheaper than the cost of a loan to people who couldn't afford the loan, and still make money despite the depreciation?

Imagine a car that costs 50,000 - a 10 year loan will be 500 or so per month according to https://www.calculator.net/auto-loan-calculator.html.

If I want to buy a car and lease it out to make money, but charge half that much so people who can't afford it can still get it, then let's say I charge 250/month. It would take 17 years of leasing it at the rate that it was worth when it was new in order to just break even and get my outlay on the car back.

So it's possible that I'm missing something else key about how car loans work but the numbers don't seem to add up for the leasor that your market is people who can't afford a car loan. Even https://www.bankrate.com/loans/auto-loans/lease-vs-buy-calcu... seems to indicate that you pay a little less for the loan than leasing, so I'm still not getting how leasing is the budget option that helps people get a car they can't otherwise afford a loan for.

EDIT: the answer is here: https://www.thecarexpert.co.uk/car-finance-pcp-explained/. Apparently in the UK, leases work with a small monthly payment, but at the end of the lease term there's a gigantic balloon payment where you pay back the difference between your cheap payments until then and what you actually would have owed if you had a normal lease or loan the whole time - thus making the leasor whole. The system is designed such that the leasor will always have received the cost of depreciation (plus more) at any point in the term.
Hating those who play the game can be an effective deterrent to decreasing the number of people who play the negative sum game.
Ask HN: Is it ethical to "addict" students to learning?
I run a studying app. I am considering applying more psychological aspects - think sometimes emotional methods like a sad avatar if you don't study, building streaks, or notifications, all this stuff. Imagine though, the study app provides users a controllable "addictometer" where you can turn down the applications utilized methods and frequency of increasing your engagement.

Now my question is, is this ethical to you?

We often talk about social media addiction & things like unregretted minutes - if someone urgently wants to learn (study) and be motivated, is this a scenario where you'd consider any time studying unregretted minutes?

What do you think of this position?
You just need to compile it once in a while. It's slow, yes, but really not that big of a deal.
Even if it hasn't been, "I didn't invent this" seems like an utterly asinine basis for an argument for patentability.

Frigid north? What are you implying?
Not really and I’m suspicious you know these are not directly analogous.

We’re not trying to curb emissions for the purpose of kneecapping other economies. Short of China, we don’t really have any incentive to do that (bigger markets = better under US industrial policy [contradictory opinions from left wing undergrad students on Twitter don’t count as “US industrial policy”]). What’s actually happening is that we caused a problem and now it’s getting worse and in order to fix it we need to not allow everyone else to continue it.

This is a novel and advanced philosophical argument called, “two wrongs don’t make a right.”
> it also makes it non-updateable separately from the OS itself, which slows the spread of developments.

Maybe this particular hack isn’t vulnerable to Windows.

But, with my Flipper Zero I can create a bluetooth device and as soon as a Windows client connects it will think it’s a keyboard and fire whatever powershell commands I want.. I have only used it to do a RickRoll myself (spawning Youtube), ai haven’t tried anything illegal with it.

Now I have all of my bluetooth disabled. But, I don’t know how to remove bluez without breaking linux.

The Xbox is a popular controller so its Bluetooth connection issues on windows should be well documented online by multiple users by now if it's a known issue. Or is it just you and a handful of unlucky users due to some buggy Bluetooth card-driver combo?

There are a lot of short straws you can pull in the Bluetooth stack lottery that don't necessarily stem from the OS.

Six weeks of six days (4 work days and 2 rest days) in a month would be better than four weeks of nine days (6 work days and 3 rest days) in my opinion.
It relies on keyboard navigation, threading, and per-message tracking of read/unread status, and on subject lines. The threaded view with one line per message allows a quick overview over which parts of a discussion one has already read or which are new, or are still unread from the last time. You usually have a split screen where one part of the screen shows that thread tree and the other shows the currently focused message. Focusing a message marks it as read. Common key bindings are pressing Tab to jump to the next unread message, and Space to page-down through the contents of messages. This makes it very efficient to catch up on a discussion (or really, to catch up on all ongoing discussion over all subscribed newsgroups) even after a few days (or longer). And if you reply some time later, you can still expect other participants to pick up your reply and easily see its context.

Replies don’t get lost because the discussion has moved on or the thread is a day old, like they do on HN and Reddit. This enables long-running, structured discussions. There are more usability aspects related to the text editor used, such as editor commands for handling quotes when replying. There are of course the usual(?) forum features of being able to ignore (filter out) specific users, and other features like automatically highlighting/ranking/filtering messages based on other criteria. But the main usability benefits come from per-message read/unread tracking, keyboard navigation, and the compact thread representation.

Note how on HN and Reddit you have threading, but because each message is displayed inline, you see less of a thread at once. You also see only one topic (thread) at once, whereas in a Usenet client you see all recent or currently ongoing threads in the same view as the intra-thread structure. This causes a more shared experience of subscribers of a newsgroup being aware of the current ongoing threads (over days and weeks) than on Reddit and HN. And most importantly, when returning to a discussion thread, on Reddit and HN you don’t see which messages you have already read and which you haven’t, and thus threads die out after a short time, and longer-form discussions are not practical. The experience is profoundly different.

I did not downvote your post, but I think the person who did may want to discourage using ChatGPT for summarizing articles. Instead, they might be encouraging others to read the stories themselves and form their own summaries and opinions based on their understanding.
This is why AWS is better. They dogfood when it is hard.

I remember when S3 and EC2 were coming out. They tried to make us working on the retail website move year after year. Our excuses became their roadmap. We (developers working on not AWS) really didn’t want to move to AWS. It was 100% worse than what we had before.

“Network is slow”, “it’s not PCI compliant”, “the drive is unreliable”, “the load balancer is missing a feature”.

It took years and years. But they did it. Google and Microsoft don’t have the willpower to force this, and its why they will always be behind AWS.

When Google tries to sell you Google Cloud, remember they don’t use it for anything internally. They don’t think it’s good enough. So why should I?
I think the point is that if he is allowed to have a Doomsday bunker, everyone should. Mark Zuckerberg is not special.
This is just spam. Mixed in with somethings we already knew.

> Right, but would you want a separate CI platform just for iOS

You already don't have a choice. The iOS build tooling only runs on MacOS. So your current options are:

1. Run all of your CI infra on MacOS (literal insanity)

2. Have dedicated mac minis just for building iOS apps (waste of $$$ and additional maintenance hassle)

3. Use a build cloud (somehow even more expensive than option 2)
This is the equivalent of Gates AARD email

Good enough for $280 million payout despite AARD code not even being deployed.
It matters for them because their business strategy is utter and complete lock-in. If you don't want to submit to the apple religion they want you to gtfo.

I had exactly the same reaction as you.
I thought it was a metaphor for decades.
I think I read about it on Nautilus or Aeon around 2016/17, can't remember.
When I am fully conscious, there is no inner eye for me, nothing.
Sounds, noises and voices, on the other hand, are not a problem.
I can play mental audio within limits.
Are there actually people who can imagine smells or other sensory impressions at will?
I dream partly in color, partly in black and white, sometimes more, sometimes less realistic in the representation.
So, I know what it must be like to have a minds eye.
When I'm half asleep during the waking/sleeping phase, it seems to me that I can deliberately invoke images. Aphantasia seems to me to be less a lack of functionality than one that is not activated under certain conditions.
It's a spectrum, there are people like me and there are people who can imagine incredibly realistic inner worlds, and I envy them a little.
But I suspect that this characteristic comes with its own problems.

It's a little sad that I can't conjure up mental images of significant personal events, such as the birth of my children.
The first time I held them in my arms.
On the other hand, reports of atrocities and the like do not induce any inner images.
I literally can't imagine anything in them, so they don't trigger a visceral reaction.
That's a plus.
I would guess that the goal isn't to increase the mass of cinnamon to but to interfere with a standard assay of cinnamon. This would be similar to the melamine in baby formula and milk powder scandal in China. The melamine wasn't added to significantly increase the mass, but to interfere with the protein content assay. The lead might be there to add color, to interfere with assay of organic compounds, to prevent fungal growth, or even to cover a defect(lead binds to stinky sulfur compounds)... It's hard to say with knowing what form of lead they found in the apple sauce.

the doctrine is that only things that are 'novel' and 'non-obvious' (to a 'person having ordinary skill in the art') can be patented, and any accessible published material (among other things) is considered 'prior art' for determining this. So unless your 'one small change' fundamentally alters the behavior of the 'black box' in a novel way, one would probably say that it is not novel and pretty obvious for a person having ordinary skill in the art to emulate a slightly modified version the hardware in software. of course, vector search on music also seems pretty obvious to me. I don't actually know how this plays into infringement specifically rather than trying to patent something though.
The music player I had in the early 2000s was great: a 2001 IOmega HipZip that took 40MB Clik! disks.

I'd pop 3 albums on 3 disks for a day of listening around the city. No complaints at all. Nostalgia.

It's a lovely example of the tersness of BQN, it draws an animation of 10 ellipses animating into eachother, along with a triangle for fun.

PerFrame ← white r.draw.EllipseOutline 100‿100≍300‿200˙
Screen ← PerFrame r.draw._withCanvas_ black
Screen •_While_(¬r.window.ShouldClose) r.window._openAs "Hello!!!"

first line is imports, second draws ellipse, third draws the ellipse on a black background, forth opens the window with a close condition :)
The real question is probably "Is COM a bad idea?"

And I don't think it is. But COM itself was such a pain to deal with. Notably all of my time with it was spent from within .NET so maybe it was less painful in C++-- but .NET was at least partially designed to work well with COM. Insert crying emoji.

(Of course I think Microsoft intended us to stop using COM and instead use SOAP, but that didn't happen)

Didn't know leasing was popular outside the US. That's how a great majority of luxury cars are acquired here. To be fair, given how their asset price depreciates and repair demands increase over time, leasing makes a lot of sense.
The law exists; the judge didn't make it. But the law is expressed using loose terms that aren't closely-defined, so it falls to the judge to interpret the law within the circumstances of the case.

This case is an appeal; if a judge in an appeal case interprets the law in a particular way, that sets a precedent that should be followed by judges in lower courts, if the circumstances are similar. That's not "making law"; laws here are written to be interpreted by judges, because that's how it works.
Something I've been working on this weekend: visualising climate change in the Netherlands.

I particularly liked the heatmap with monthly temperature data since the 1900s. It's a lot of scrolling, but you can clearly see that climate is accelerating since the '90s.
Delivery has always been a "push" model. The seller is ultimately responsible for delivering your purchases to you, and they outsource it to a few entrenched players. I wonder if there's room for disruption in the form of a "pull" model delivery company: I pay a company to deliver my packages, and provide a nice UI/UX and maybe lose my package less frequently to boot. Then retailers will integrate with this service and alert the company to come pick up the package. Of course at first most retailers won't offer this integration, and that's okay.

That seems high to me. Where does that come from?

That also seems like a lot, at least for an individual, which is what this seems? (to me) aimed at. I haven’t used it, but 25 hours seems within bounds for reasonable for a month’s usage.
It might be a lot quicker to find your model through cost exploration.

1. Put up a landing page that talks about your service, and has a 'buy now' link at the bottom

2. The 'buy now' price should be a price that you think is fair

3. Clone that page and play with prices. One page could be priced half of what you thought was fair. Another page might be double.

4. Load balance those pages. If you see an even amount of people willing to pay $100 as $20, then you KNOW $20 is priced too low. Your optimal price point is after the point you start losing customers. If you can sell it for $500 to 10 customers or $50 to 100 customers, you will have made the same amount of gross revenue, but it is much easier to deliver service to 10 customers than 100 customers.

Your best price point may be 10 times (or more) what you think is fair. It may be 10 times less. If more, well then you have opportunities for establishing an agency, as there's overhead to delegate the work and still make profit. Or you can discount it to those who need some help. Or you can play with different cost models (e.g., "I will get you hired in exchange for 10% of your first 10 paychecks" type of arrangements).
So at the end, was that shown at least in this experiment that generally it’s enough to tell people that they should act as a tyrant and they would do as that?

I'm not sure how the UK avoided software patents before now based on this argument though. As in:

- literally implement ANN in hardware

- patent it

- someone emulates your patented design in software (or even hardware of some parts slightly abstracted to make "emulation" of your patent fast).

What happens now? Either all emulatable hardware patents are useless, or there's a backdoor into software patents (synthetically put it in hardware first).
I think the point is that the scale of requirement intake that came into AWS from the website is orders of magnitude more than whatever level of dogfooding that Azure might undergo from internal solutions. Not that they don’t dogfood at all, only that the massive amount of engineers moving one of the most complex websites in world’s history into AWS, and AWS taking them in as real input into the product, made AWS a lot better than the old AWS.
