If you own the Comcast email address, how is he registering anything with it? Wouldn't he need access to the email to verify his accounts?
If the process worked out Brian wouldn’t get fired, probably. The affair was very convenient for the board.

Intel had grown accustomed to internal mediocrity and got too big to root it out; the fact that accounting runs the company instead of someone with a vision doesn’t help. Accounting doesn’t like risky bets and Intel needed some to work out instead of cancelling everything left and right.

Thank you for this. Assuming that people disagree with you for valid reasons is a skill people generally seem to have lost. It's a lot easier to just pigeon-hole them as "other".
If you have a modernish smartphone you have no need for SiriusXM unless you like to listen to sports or talk radio in the middle of nowhere. I stopped paying XM after getting tired of the cancel and get a cheaper offer dance, and never once missed it.

Show HN: AI powered shopping returns assistant making returns effortless
Returnafly - is your AI powered shopping returns assistant. It will track your purchases across all your stores, monitor the return deadlines and enable you to complete returns from the comfort of your home.

I built Returnafly to make returns effortless on anything we buy.

I see a future where returns are as easy as buying!
> So, we took the political route, contacting then-congressman Henry Waxman, whose committee at the time had FDA oversight. Waxman’s office wrote four letters imploring the agency to reconsider oral phenylephrine’s effectiveness.

For all the hate that politicians get on public forums like hn, this is one of the few cases where they actually made a difference.
Why wouldn't they compare an 100% equivalent solar+storage to nuclear on a cost per GW basis?

Or, will this comparison be in the report?

Eg a 2 GW Nuclear compared to 2GW Solar + (2+X GW storage to account for charge times and full non sunlight utilization per geography)
It's easy to agree with this quote but I am writing this response because it made me feel like there's a bit too much repetition, or maybe exposition. First two sentences felt like enough to convey the whole thing to me.
Thank you!

Retroactive shaming of anyone who was ever against your political position seems like some folks are devolving toward something even worse than cancel culture. The rudeness, as you put it, is not going to change my mind about the issue itself, but it does make me want to avoid the impossible-to-reason-with zealots.
Has anyone pointed out that the people who own Teslas, are likely to also own several of the other cars such as audi and porche?
>” How to prevent this? The obvious way is to just not use dataframes, at least not while doing aggregation. Rather than allocating a huge dataframe and loading our partial results into its columns bit by bit, we can just store our partial results in a plain list.”

A lot to be said for not defaulting to data frames, in both r and python. Or, if you must, using something like r data.table or python’s polars if you don’t think in other data structures easily or just want convenience.

That's the only reason he's punished. A lot more than 10M gets stolen regularly across various online scams but nothing gets done about those since they primarily target the common man and not a large, culturally-relevant company (I'd argue his targeting of BT/EE has a lot of influence in the outcome).

Can you explain? The whole process has seemed pretty patient on all sides. This wasn't some overnight decision.

I truly don't understand what you're trying to say, or how "patience" is relevant here at all.
Half Past Dementia
I'm increasingly of the belief that the plan was to become a nuisance so that Apple buys them out, to be accompanied by an incredible journey blog post, so proud of what we've done, excited about what comes next, etc., and then quietly dissolve the whole operation.
Boredom though, is a very valid feeling. A bored species doesn't get very far, and maybe for us humans, feeling like we're getting somewhere is how we operate.

When I think about it, I think that's probably why I've been struggling so much, is that I've just felt bored with life. In-spite of all that society is, I think like a lot of people, I just don't really see what the point is. More money? More goals? More experiences? But then what?

Maybe the type of frontier is important, because everything you give an example of is really just the one frontier: Figuring out how to continually scale human population. Although rational, how is it inspiring? Or rather, how can you be inspired if you are bored?
Yes. The french epr and the britan nnewest reactors are constant sources of problems.

Not parent, but I do. Go, SSR, vanilla JS, TailwindUI, SQLite, Litestream got us to $20k MRR for a niche CRM product.

TailwindUI provides HTML-only code and includes useful comments about class transitions, so I was able to handle the mobile hamburger menu and some form submission stuff in a tiny JS file, rather than React or Vue (which they also provide code for).
So no 3rd party client software unless the company running the service gives explicit permission?

No 3rd party batteries in devices or 3rd party ink cartridges either
> FKs are a performance impact. The fact they require indexes is likely fine, since those indexes are needed anyhow. But the lookup made for each insert/delete is an overhead.

This is not a valid argument at all and I'm concerned anyone would think it is.

If you have a foreign key, it means you have a dependency that needs to be updated or deleted. If that's the case, you will have an overhead anyway, the only question being whether it's at the DB level or at the application level.

I don't think there are many cases where there's any advantage to self-manage them at the application level.

> FKs don't work well with online schema migrations

This seems to be related only to the specific project that the issue is about if you read about the detailed explanation below.

the paper link doesn't work for me. the correct link https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.13150.pdf
E.g. you want to have a foreign key that makes sure the “singular” side of a one-to-many relationship isn’t soft-deleted as long as it has anything in the “many” side. Both sides using soft-deletion.
Nice swipe at C# (and Java). It's not true anymore for .Net Core though (that you need the bloated editor). All of the tooling is command line now
Reading a bit more, I think “brush” is being used in the context of photoshop. Sounds like its a specific feature there.
The whole value proposition of nuclear rests on cost because it is a pollutant too, so what would be your basis if not that
Only a court can really decide that

I'll add that i did do a double take here, so you have a point
Yes Alice fully agreed. I do understand this. I just want to share my experience as a warning to others. As what is shipped is nothing less than amazing. It would be ashamed if this results to disappointment due to wrong expectations, as happened to me. I’m however very grateful for what is already there.
Intel has had more software engineers than hardware since forever. They know the ecosystem argument in and out - they made x86, they are the argument.

They lost the process lead and can’t figure it out for almost a decade now - we wouldn’t be having this discussion if their hardware worked out according to their plans.
Whenever anyone talks about “the application,” I immediately ask “what about all the other applications?” I promise you that you will find customer service and accounting and biz dev have also built stuff that uses the database to get their jobs done (probably not with the same ORM or even the same language) unless you have taken draconian measures to prevent them.
Do you actually believe this? It seems completely ignorant of human behavior to me.

You see, it's not about dealing with large-scale operations. It's about keeping that one neighbor you have who always makes poor choices from grabbing 1000 boxes of Sudafed and blowing up their house. They don't care what the industrial process is, they care what they can get away with in their living room.

Throttle access to pseudoephedrine sufficiently and they will look elsewhere. Make it easy to get and they'll DIY. You know, I even admire the DIY spirit involved. I just don't admire the externalities.
They can. Surfacebooks can be enrolled into Autopilot. Any OEM device running Windows 11 can be preenrolled. It’s actually a pretty good feature for managing laptop fleets.
Which open standard is implemented? Not XMPP, not Mastodon or Matrix. And unless something changed, you can’t even make posts using that API, again to the point.

iMessage does have an API as well, it’s just not publicly available. Hence the current debacle
It's too late to fix it, but when I said "Trump", I meant "Musk". Perhaps a bit of a Freudian slip there.
As far as “siphoning off resources” is concerned, it’s not that different from sending emails to an iCloud Mail address, which also makes use of Apple’s servers. Beeper’s purpose is not for Android users to communicate among themselves, but to communicate with Apple users. It’s only natural that this would involve Apple’s servers, as it does with email.

This is not to say that this entitles anyone to do so without Apple’s consent, but the argument about resource usage is a straw man here, IMO. This is not about who pays for the servers. Even if Beeper would offer Apple an appropriate portion of their revenue (edit: and they actually do in TFA), Apple would not agree. For Apple, this is about keeping the garden wall up.
Can you please make your substantive points without swipes? (like "Back in the real world", "you are exaggerating", "no you're fantasizing" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38710396, and so on).

A happy medium would be if as part of the location-granting prompt, you could tell the OS "just give a city-level fix— this app doesn't need to know exactly where I am".
Beeper doesn’t have any control over the protocol Apple implement. They do have control over whether they reverse engineer that protocol.
I have a not-very-fancy Android smartphone that will easily go over a day between charges, if I let it. I can bump that up to 2.5 days between a full charge if I turn off Location and Bluetooth. (Which I usually do since I typically need neither.)
Foreign keys are wholly optional if you’re the kind of person who thinks it’d be cool to add “manually repair millions of rows” and/or “lose half a day of data; cry” to the todo list for a 3AM emergency deployment rollback.
How do I qualify for the money rebate from google
Apple sometimes provides a prompt for letting photos be shown. Seems like sometimes they expose all your photos to application without asking.

Seems worse to give your users a false sense of security.
Yes many are very eager to blame the winner, usually without seeing the work that took them there, and even more relevant, the competition keeps doing a mess.
Because comcast subscribers lose their email address when switching email providers, and the address becomes available to other subscribers.

This happened to me, and I cannot use my comcast email with google services, and some others. I need a separate email address for job hunting, because google calendar will assume the provided email address is linked to google services, and the notifications will go to the other guy.

It is really fucking annoying.
Beeper says that, but they probably don't have the amount of money that Apple thinks is worth using their services.

I'm willing to buy all of your property for $1, but that doesn't give me the right to come use it all, just because in theory there is a price I would pay to have it all.
US utility firms offer builders cash/trips to fit new homes with gas appliances

Yep, not to mention the space requirements. It's hard to imagine fitting several robot arms plus any associated machinery into the relatively limited space at the end of a bowling lane.
Ironically, getting the addicts off the street also helps, and the "housing" is more important than "sober." If you can get them stable, they may have a chance.

The drug addiction happens because of the trauma in a vast majority of cases. Poor decisions may compound, but trauma causes rational decisions that also have the negative consequences that compound.
I don't think OP meant literally "leave the room," but rather "leave space for follow-ups," i.e. don't pack everything into the initial question; keep it vague so that you can ask a follow-up based on the first answer (which could otherwise be constrained by your possibly-wrong framing).
Unfortunately the lack of new builds in the last few decades also removed a proving ground for regular cost optimizations and incremental innovations by firms with increasing institutional knowledge. Most other industries and technologies enjoy this benefit as they keep building products.
You use the word "we" a lot. What exactly has your involvement been in all this?
If it was easy we would have solved it a long time ago. Most lifeforms doesn't have language so language isn't a part of agency. People have tried to make game bots that have the intelligence of ants but they can't since it is hard. Ants solve many very hard problems with their tiny brains, there has to be something relatively simple we are missing there, but finding such a simple thing is often hard.
Green subsidies are peanuts compared to the subsidies that nuclear gets. Half of the DoE budget is nuclear subsidies, and not being responsible for decomissioning/cleanup amounts to a massive subsidy.
Hey guys - airline pilot here. Will respond shortly.
By “private API” do you mean undocumented public API?
Well from some logical point of view I don't know if I have a good case to argue off the top of my head, nor do I want to come up with one.

On the other hand, its because it fucking sucks. It's the largest company in the world (by market cap) which has a revenue of a third of a trillion dollars every year. They can afford to make it free but they don't for their own gain. All their competitors make their myriad of chat apps (that only Americans don't seem to want to use) free and available on as many platforms as possible. The only real reason Apple doesn't is because they want to hoard more and more of their money and become an even bigger company. That just sucks, it's shitty, it's worse for the world. They have hundreds of billions of cash reserves that they don't even know what to do with. I don't give a shit if it's their right or whatever to do it, I still think it sucks and is worse for everyone who isn't a VP at Apple.

Open standards are nice, decentralization is nice, having options and choice and cross-platform things are nice. Having a gigantic company make a choice to create a silo where they're the only ones allowed to use it is not nice.
Is comparing nuclear and renewable like apples and oranges ? One can run anytime, and the other depends on weather, time of day.

If we only had renewable the price of electricity would go up at night, when there is no sun or wind.

Unless to compare the GWh they included batteries for renewable, it is difficult to compare to nuclear.
This whole fiasco is hogging US Congress' antitrust attention is, IMO, a huge fail.

Chat apps is largely represented by iMessage, but dwarfed by WhatsApp. But for the most part there is _some_ competition. And Apple requiring that you _purchase_ their product in order to use its services is not harmful to consumers. Been crazy watching people do mental gymnastics trying to make that sound like a huge problem.

Meanwhile, Google has effectively sterilized all competition in the browser market and is definitely, willfully using their market share to push around other companies and make purely self-interested, consumer-hurting choices. _This_ is where antitrust scrutiny needs to be aimed at.
Having worked in a db with lots of missing FKs, it becomes very difficult to figure out relationships. This makes it difficult to find out what tables need to be updated when there's a lot of them. In this particular company, the only thing holding it together was institutional knowledge.
He's violent and uncooperative:

> The court heard that Kurtaj had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage.

The TLA aren't hurting for talent these days either.
The resources are negligible and not worth mentioning. Chat, encrypted or not, is not an expensive service for Apple to run.

There are much better business arguments to make here then "oh no! The 3 trillion dollar company might have slightly more overhead managing text messaging!"
I could keep teaching notes and discover opportunities.
We have both kinds of projects, the ones that are free so maintainers leave, and the ones that make money and the money warps incentives over time. Rather than free vs paid, I try these days to get a sense for the motivations of the creator, and whether those motivations feel sustainable for something durable. Sometimes they involve money, sometimes not.
It's tough though, how do you know that they won't use those skills against you? The individual seems relatively unstable and violent, even saying during a sentencing hearing that they'll continue to do illegal breaches whenever they can.

Would be great to have them on the "good" side, but would probably take a lot of energy and resources as well.

The school I work for once had a student who had left the school sell a MacBook to an unsuspecting member of the public. It hadn’t been unenrolled.

We wrote it off and removed it from DEP for the poor guy. The student was long since gone and we had depreciated it anyway, so it wasn’t a huge loss. We realised not doing so was also potentially a reputation issue for the school also.

We’ve since tightened up leaving processes so this is unlikely to happen again.
Electric cars were never economically viable until a crazy person decided to go all in on the economies of scale for battery production.

Part of the problem with Nuclear is that no one right now is building reactors so startup costs are going to be crazy. But we are still going to need electricity in 30+ years from now so I don't understand why people are so opposed to breaking ground on new facilities just because it will take 15 years for them to pay for themselves.

I agree that medical records deserve more privacy but the police are utilizing subpoenas. Most of these companies are complying as the cost to review and challenge each subpoena will add up. It’s not worth eating into their profits and current law allows them to do this. I wouldn’t expect them not to utilize every legal tool at their disposal.
Maybe it's because they can't afford the private option?

The article specifically says:

> He will remain at a secure hospital for life unless doctors deem him no longer a danger.

So he's confined for life. Confinement is confinement, whether it's a prison or hospital.

This definitely seems like a case where the government found a "backdoor" to allow them to get away with confining someone for life, even though they probably couldn't do through the normal criminal justice system because the punishment doesn't suit the crime.
