> Sure Adobe has the market cornered but it doesn't seem like this is where the agencies would suddenly choose to care so much. And if it was regulatory, then shouldn't those agencies come out and say "We blocked this, no go."

Both the EU and UK had already provisionally found that the deal was a problem, and the DoJ was expected to file suit. The companies had a meeting with the DoJ last Thursday [0]. They previously met with the EU on the 8th, and had a deadline to submit a settlement offer to them (not sure what that means) on the 21st.

Maybe all of those meetings were actually going better than they're trying to make it sound, but the regulators certainly appear to have been paying very close attention to this one, and the timing of the deal cancellation is about right for it to be due to regulatory pressure.

I'm not new to all this - I used Slackware and Red Hat on the desktop in the early 2000s, and I use Linux on the server side daily. But on two separate laptops recently, manufactured 10 years apart, I've had all kinds of glitches and performance problems with (Arch) Linux, on a variety of desktops (Sway, KDE Plasma, Gnome) especially around video and GPU. You could say just don't buy Nvidia - but one, too late, and two, if you want to do anything interesting in AI these days they're hard to compete with.

YMMV and if you're just in the shell and in VIM all day you might not notice video glitches and performance problems (computers did text terminals in the 70s so it's not a high bar). But as a lapsed game dev I have an eye for stutter, missed frames, etc, and those were pretty constant in my configs, despite sinking probably a hundred plus hours in, time I won't get back.

Masimo is a $billions dollar company. The description of a “David and Goliath” battle is a tad misleading.

>the whole cheap/small web thing has me thinking of those people who buy used clothes but think nothing of paying $15 for a coffee at hipsterCafe. something virtue signally about it.

Very often hipsterCafe commoditizes a demand for quality in food by offering something slightly better than average at five-fold the price, but I can see that hipster-vegan-bum would find themselves in a perfectly coherent way of life buying clothes from thrift shops and spending a lot for food, sourcing for ethical cooperatives or whatever. It may be a reflection of their privilege, it may be a virtue signal-ist modus operandi, but aren't contradictory habits.

>maybe it's the "solarpunk philosophy" and the "synthesize serendipity"-ies or quoting steve jobs, one of the biggest a*holes in the history of tech (imo).

Don't you think that Steve Jobs scammed a lot of artsy people selling them a dream of olistic tech and sustainability, and that it's perfectly sane and just for them to clasp at that dream and trying to realize it, rejecting the evils of the false prophet while not throwing the baby with the bathwater?

Google charging users for search would help clear up search results a bit if they didn't also charge sites for higher placement, but it wouldn't fix SEO. As long as sites have a way to get money for you clicking on them, whether by ad views or product sales, they'll have an incentive to get ranked higher in search results.

> nowhere anyone said that they wrote their own framework/libraries or wrote anything from scratch

God why are you so unbearably narrow minded. Devs who reject frameworks where they can don't write everything from scratch. Good lord, there is so many other ways to develop software other than a plug & play framework. People still use existing libraries and functionalities for every use case imaginable, they just pick them as they need and don't inherit those functions as part of a framework with 21 different layers.
I have similar experience. I also love in a rural area. I work at a ski resort, and I can't tell you how many times I've seen a fancy car pull into the parking lot, open the door, and Immediately set a whole bag of fast food trash right on the ground next to the car. And along the highway, groups stop to sled in the snow. And when they leave, the pile of busted sleds, used diapers, and food trash looks like a homeless camp. And then the campsites... I don't typically like to make broad judgments about groups of people, but culture is a real thing, and urban folks seem to be the worst offenders by far.

In a sense OP wants E-ink screens and org/vimwiki/markdown. Styling is where the problem it claims to criticize begins; if you want a truly accessible hypertext book, then you don't need styling, the user should be in charge of this, and the default theme would be whatever easily readable font, black on white, headings 36pt bold, paragraphs 14pt regular, every elements as blocks. Epub, in usage, is actually a cool format and I almost prefer this type of "browsing" experience than what websites proposes.

Or maybe OP wants higher level CSS and HTML, and this is a problem because this leads to the invention of a new language with yet another complex ontology that claims to be "simpler than its lower level counterpart" but is not.

Of course you could create some markdown with basic styling options, but I am pretty sure learning basic html and css is not that more complex than learning that specific markdown and how to operate it to finally get a website served on a specific server.

Web and styling became complex exactly when occurred the encounter between what was styling on the web in the 2000s, the emergence of the nowadays variety of devices that are able to browse it and the actual way people interacted with smartphones.

Today our browsers are almost OSes and it's almost like the complexity of what you can share with them is superior than the complexity of you could create on a 1990 pc natively. I mean, you can run godot engine on your browser : you can develop prototypes of projects with your friends just for fun, create your own private platform for communicating with people you like.

I notice a lot of hate toward JS, but honestly when I first stumbled upon it I felt like a dream came true; it gives you the power to create experiences and share them almost effortlessly, and the fact that bigTechs decided to make boring websites on crazy over-engineered frameworks doesn't change anything to this.

We're probably past the point in the web where formative experiments with layout are useful for most people, and most situations can be handled with a light CMS. That still leaves room for massive variance and personal control. Even just linktree levels of customization have a lot more spice than facebook. I think current big tech is still reacting to myspace allowing users to write raw CSS, and there's a lot of space for a swing back, especially given the current web's focus on "creators".

You think governments have the ability to combat misinformation without living in some Orwellian-esque regime?

"Misinformation" is probably one of the most abused phrases of our age. If we could even start by labeling misinformation properly, then maybe we could do something about it.

The point of a sovereign government is to serve the people—that's it. Keep them safe, keep things "fair" (to whatever degree that's possible), and to fight for the prolonged existence of said people. "Misinformation" hardly fits into that in its current state.

I lean towards the point of view of "most photographers" in the original parent comment, in that you need to always be respectful of the subject but there are cases you can't get permission beforehand, and so yes I think in general you should ask for permission to take a photo of someone, but sometimes it's either not possible, for example if someone is high on Tranq, or will create the wrong conditions for the photo you want to take, like if you wanted a candid shot of someone on the street. My view is that in the former, you should have a legitimate reason to take the photo (like you're doing documentary work as mentioned), and in the latter you should ask for permission and delete if rejected, but it's fine to do it after the fact.
For some people, “invisible” function calls are the devil incarnated and against the alleged C philosophy of “what you see is what you get”.

Arguably a compromise would be that you still have to write the resource-freeing calls explicitly, but the compiler would verify that you didn’t forget them. On the other hand, that’s what linters could already do.

runs-on: [cheap,fast,self-hosted] runners for GitHub Action, in your AWS account
Hello HN! I'm showing you RunsOn, a new service to launch self-hosted runners in your own AWS account, without the usual SaaS middleman.

RunsOn is installed in one click with a CloudFormation template, which deploys a private GitHub App for the organization of your choice (even personal).

The App then receives workflow job events from GitHub, and takes care of spawning EC2 instances to act as your GitHub runners.

In your workflows, you then have to do this simple change:

- runs-on: ubuntu-latest

+ runs-on: runs-on,runner=16cpu-linux

The README has a lot more details as to how you can customize the runs-on label.

Some key advantages:

* up to 10x cheaper than GitHub, and 4x cheaper than the competition.

* 1-1 workflow compatibility for your existing workflows, since we maintain replicas of the official runner images.

* x64 and arm64 architecture are supported.

* bring your own AMIs, or customize the default ones with preinstall scripts.

* your code stays in your own infrastructure.
* we take extra precaution to ensure no runner is left dangling, thanks to AWS TerminateOnShutdown feature and watchdog scripts.

I also made sure that the stack is easy to troubleshoot:

* any problem when starting runners is automatically surfaced in a special management issue.

* daily cost usage is also displayed in the management issue.

* SSH access to the runners if needed.

It has been a lot of joy creating this tool, and most companies having a bill of a few hundred dollars on GitHub will quickly see the ROI, especially if you need higher-spec runners.

Disclaimer: the tool is free for non-commercial usage, and comes with a flat license fee for commercial usage.
I think it's great that we don't have Chinese-style censorship of the internet but disagree that "there really isn't much to talk about (yet)". I think there is good reason to believe that many governments around the world are interested in making laws to control the dissemination of various kinds of speech, and whether or not we have the full information on individual cases this shouldn't stop us from commenting on our overall rights around speech and what we believe these should be. Personally, I don't wish to self-censor over this, as I think it's important.

I live in a country with even worse speech laws than those in the US and I wish people stood up for the kinds of speech that should be protected instead of waiting until our lawmakers pass draconian laws and then complaining.
This is hilarious. But lets not take this too seriously and say it proves Chatbots are worthless (or dangerous). People will start to understand the boundaries of chatbots and use them appropriately, and companies will understand those limits too. Once both sides are comfortable with the usage patterns, they will add value.

Want to know the hours of the dealership, how long it will take to have a standard oil change done or what forms of ID to bring when transferring a title, chatbot is great.

This is just like how the basic Internet was back in the 00's. It freaked people out to buy things on line but we got used to it and now we love it.

I would love for you to disagree, but for that to happen, you have to address the points of my arguments, which none of you have.

The things you in particular mention goes towards my point, not against it. We are probably mostly in agreement when it comes to those.

I know that:
- it is easy to make a tiny framework
- you can do that with both Java and JavaScript
- that the translation layers really don't add much effectively
- that you can program both languages without any library even

I know all this. If you think that you have to tell me this or that I am wrong because of this, then you have missed the train.

You can substitute Java and JavaScript there for ARM assembler. Do you get that?

But if you as the proverbial CTO were to suggest going with assembler, people would (drum roll) use my arguments against you. Assembler needs a lot of Something Else to go on top of it and with it to make it generally useful.

This is not to say that there's anything wrong with it in and of itself. But if you want to address cross-cutting concerns in a project, you are shit out of luck. You would invent a... drum roll... high level programming language to go with it. You would also likely want to have some sort of state management to go with that. And error handling, configuration management, various abstractions such that those become ergonomic to use.

Please tell me you get the point now, because so far... you really haven't. I understand your points, but they are not directed at my point and we do not necessarily disagree about anything.
I copped this version of the Hidetsugu you're thinking of for $30 at my LGS a few weeks ago: https://scryfall.com/card/neo/432/hidetsugu-devouring-chaos

Prices of swaggy stuff is always irrational until the smallest attention spans have moved on.

I assume you know about Collector Packs, those are my favorites for splashing a chunk of money on a set. If I can afford to preorder a box, or pick one up on some random sale, they have the highest swag tier.

The only card I've sold in the past several years has been a copy of Parallel Lives. It got me enough store credit to cop a Chatterfang, and some other goodies to build a first Commander deck after not touching my cards in years. I had 4 or 5 copies, so it was easy to part with. I also gave one copy away to a friend who had just bought some sort of 'Hobbits and food tokens' precon deck.

> It seems that you are indeed conflating the two if you're unable to provide arguments to support your thesis.

I'm sorry you don't like it, but I stand by what I said: go read about fascism, there's plenty written. There are no shortcuts and I won't provide a history lesson for you here.

> Where exactly do you see a lack of logic?

Nothing you described is "logic"; it is a set of axiomatic beliefs. "Might makes right" is not logic, it's a belief. There's very little that is logical about fascism. In fact they had to reject and persecute science because the world wasn't what fascism described.

I mean, they did have a bunch of contradictory foundational ideas, is that what you mean? But there was hardly a logical core to it.
I invite you to give that a shot on either an LG 16Z90R or a Dell Inspiron 7710.
> US Steel has agreed to be bought by Nippon Steel, Japan’s largest steelmaker, in a $14.1 billion deal.

> Earlier this summer the United Steelworkers union vowed to only support a proposed offer by another unionized American steel company, Cleveland Cliffs, to buy US Steel, in a cash and stock deal then valued at $32.53 a share, or 40% less than Nippon’s all cash offer. The US Steel board rejected that offer and started considering other bids.

> The union, which has 11,000 members at US Steel, attacked the Nippon Steel deal on Monday.

> “To say we’re disappointed in the announced deal between U.S. Steel and Nippon is an understatement, as it demonstrates the same greedy, shortsighted attitude that has guided U.S. Steel for far too long,” said USW President David McCall. “We remained open throughout this process to working with U.S. Steel to keep this iconic American company domestically owned and operated, but instead it chose to push aside the concerns of its dedicated workforce and sell to a foreign-owned company.”

> The union made clear it hopes to block the deal.
Now we need FTC to step up and impose this on privately held companies that hold large numbers of consumer profiles, regardless of annual revenues. Several states already codify such disclosure requirements, but the (education and) enforcement of those rules only happens if the breached data becomes public anyway. (Nowadays, what is eventually published for sale by hackers may not even be able to be connected back to all of the specific data breaches involved in producing it.)
Hmm... I struggle with your post. What about AMD vs Intel? Or TSMC / Samsung vs Intel? Intel is far weaker that it was 20 years ago, and chips are cheaper (inflation adjusted) and WAY faster 20 years later. Is that not a win? I feel like desktop computing is basically flying cars at this point. For 1500 USD, you can get 5GHz CPU, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB NVMe drive, reasonable GPU that is utterly light speed compared to 20 years ago. The first time I ever used an NVMe drive, I literally thought the Linux commands were not running correct because they finished so quickly!

I don’t know other sales chat bots, I’m simply explaining how this works. It appears that they improved the implementation later.

Besides, what makes you think that it’s ineffective? Any reason to believe that the chat bot was bad in fulfilling legitimate user requests? FYI, someone making it act outside of its intended purpose affects only that person’s experience.

It’s a DAN attack, people are having lots of fun with this type of prompt engineering.

Excess power is curtailed when there is no demand and power prices go negative (to stop the production). This happens 200M+ times in US, must be the same even in EU grid. EVs can absorb all this excess production. No need to build any net new capacity. And, EVs will accelerate renewables by providing flexible demand, making renewable more profitable.
