> But anger is probably one of the strongest forces driving individuals to "make the world better".

Are you thinking of an instance? Anger typically locks in the status-quo by causing people to fight each other. Greed on the other hand has pushed us from farming monkeys into modern society with a material existence that was hitherto unthinkably comfortable. Harnessing greed created and powers the modern engine of wealth creation. And greed works best when people are thoughtful, patient, kind and calm.

Typically anger just makes people do things that are hasty and stupid. I'm not thinking of situations where I've seen it get much done. It isn't an emotion that can power long term, strategic plans - or at least not good ones. Tends to burn out or be destructive.
Damn. Just, damn.

> Turns out, unfathomable tragic loss isn't very hard. It's easy, in fact. Easy in the same way that falling off a cliff is "easy"–gravity does all the work for you. It's not like climbing mount Everest, desperately putting one foot in front of the other. It's not like struggling to answer questions in a final exam. Tragic loss is just something that happens to you.

I think about this a lot. The reality of life is that we either don't live very long or we experience unimaginable tragedy. But we figure out how to keep living in the new normal, because what else can you do. I guess part of being human is being able to exist as though this isn't true, and also survive when it happens.
Like the MHT files from help system on Windows (back in the day)?
"Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half."

Then Apple stopped automatically downloading podcast episodes for people who aren't actively listening, and Spotify presumably counts actual plays rather than downloads, and now we know which half is wasted.

When you are what you measure, measuring more accurately isn't always a fun exercise.
I've noticed this as well, across pretty much all of social media that I use. I can't quite place my finger on it, whether it's just a reflection of the state of the collective feelings of people, or if it's mass manipulation. At this point it could be both.
> A crucial difference is that there is no standardized form

Depends on who you ask. What’s the region in question? What counts as a standard? Is Nynorsk codified by ISO? Et cetera.

> People write Cantonese in private of course

It‘s used plenty in public in Cantonese-native areas!

> that usage is not uniform

Yes, there is a disconnect and different ways of writing down a turn of spoken phrase. Sometimes people wouldn’t know offhand how they would even do it about a purely spoken turn of phrase.
It was really an interesting time.

In 1990 you’d still have quite a few 1980s era machines, and even into 1995 there would be old 8086 machines doing their thing.

But then everything changed when Windows 95 attacked, suddenly the upgrade treadmill was on and those older machines stopped being used not because they were to slow or broken, but because upgraders were dumping used hardware, and you might as well.

Somewhere after the proliferation of SSDs I feel it slowed down again.
>It's always kind of annoying seeing this "just don't use it" argument, as it completely ignores that part of the point of the walled garden is that it gradually forces people to be so invested in the garden that it becomes increasingly expensive to leave it.

My personal experience doesn't leave me super convinced of this, which is why I asked. I don't think I use any apps I've purchased on the regular anymore. There are a few I subscribe to, but that's an ongoing fee I could continue to pay on Android (if the app exists) and I'll buy a game every now and then, but I rarely go back to them, so I'm not sure that I'm personally losing a ton of sleep over the loss of access to Magic Research. The cost of moving is going to be my time in migration.

The issue you describe (parents preferring iOS over Android) sounds rather distinct of an issue to a walled garden.
The staff are miserable at them. I know someone who works at one of these and they can barely keep staff employed. As a result, the quality of care suffers.
Thank you for sharing your story. I'll ponder on that one!
Horrible. Just horrible. I could not finish it. My 3 year old boy is the most precious thing to me in the world. Losing a child is incomprehensible.
Good luck finding genuine replacement battery after 3-4 years. All you'll find will be fake Chinese knock-offs.

Samsung should back their word by keeping a stock of replacement parts.

Thanks for the correction. I removed that sentence.
I am using a desktop pc I built in 2012 for around 350 USD. It's running 24/7. I had to replace the mainboard, psu and ram over time due to failure (with similarly old components). The CPU AMD A10-5800K is still going strong though.
Sure it can! It comes down to the various ways that different people define "single" and "in a relationship" for themselves, and the different ways that people select potential partners. Here's a (contrived, but still demonstrative) toy example:

There's a population of 2 men and 2 women, all of whom want to date someone of the opposite gender. Over the course of one year, woman A finds both men attractive, and flip flops between dating them, one at a time. In this scenario, for whatever reason, both men find woman A more attractive, and are just not interested in woman B, even in the periods of time where they are not seeing woman A. Half the female population in this scenario would report themselves as "involuntarily single". The entire male population would likely report themselves as "not single" despite statistically not being in a relationship half the time. Subjective experience and varying definitions are a factor here.

The exact thing happens in reality, but in a much more subdued manner. There are reams of studies* that demonstrate that men and women have vastly different approaches to selecting potential partners. It's certainly possible to acknowledge this, without empowering those who weaponize facts to fuel hatred against specific genders. One can instead have compassion for people of any gender who want, but cannot have a romantic relationship.

*You don't even need to believe any studies. Find two people in your friend group (one male, one female). Have them make the most basic profile on Tinder or whatever the dating app du jour is. Have each of them accept the same number of potential matches from the opposite sex. Observe the results. Repeat with different friends. I have a friend who has run this "experiment" the few times someone has asserted that "dating is equally easy for both genders". The results invariably do fit the vastly unbalanced perceptions. It's uncomfortable and unfortunate, but that is how our society works.
Original input set is irrelevant.

You will need some data of your own of course to fill in the blanks

Edit; however conversely, you can also splice out layers from one model into another original model. It’ll take some retraining, but this works!
> Ultraviolet light can kill almost all the viruses in a room. Why isn’t it everywhere?

Simple--cost.

Specifically, UV lamps require maintenance and can be dangerous to those doing the maintenance since the flux is large and damaging to humans.

UV LEDs change this calculus slightly as they can last a lot longer, but they are still dangerous to maintenance people.

The interesting question is whether the Far UVC (222nm) LEDs can be made useful while not being harmful to people. That would change the calculus from "do a detailed cost/benefit analysis" to "what the hell--just throw it in".
I’m really feeling sorry for both the author and his family. Can’t imagine what they must be going through.

When I was 10 my oldest sibling went through a coma and after coming out of it some time later she did some things that my parents were not happy about. My family was going through some things and me being the youngest was completely neglected. I was shoved in a room and my family being well off all the problems were tried to be solved by money. Then just as things were getting a little better for me between 11-12 I was molested a few times. I was too scared to talk to anyone. My parents were not bothered much. 19 years later today I have PTSD and I struggle with anxiety depression panic. In my entire life I had no one to talk to and no one loved me. I was unable to make any connections in life. I do therapy which helps a little. I fell in love with someone 12 years ago which was the only time I felt something in life but she never liked me and till this day I hope for a miracle. There was a time few years ago I was unable to leave my room without panic attacks as that was the only place I felt safe. Somehow I was able to work my way into a graduate degree in computer science from a top school and a job. However I still spent the last 3 days crying alone. I deal with it every single day every single hour of my life. Life gets better some days and worse some days.

Anyway my point is that your children and your spouse need you the most right now. This is a turning point for everyone in the family. Hold them close. Talk to them. They may show they are strong and handling it well but they need you more than you might think. Some things cannot be undone. Some things cannot be changed. But many are in control today and a lot will be decided about the future at this time. So please just hold them close and tell them you love them. I will pray for you and your family.
While an interesting read, where is the data? You even look at the sources on the wikipedia page and it says [citation needed].

Cancer isn't evenly distributed across the countries (i.e. every city of 1M has 100 colon cancer cases), and clustering would be expected even from random distribution. Then layer on top things like genetic makeup of the population, smoking rates, diet, etc, etc, etc and you end up in a situation where confounding factors can make it really hard to tease out causes, especially if the effect is small in size.

I'm not saying there aren't higher rates of cancer in this area or that industrial pollution can't contribute to cancer rates, but this wikipedia article seems like nothing but a bunch of talk.
Yeah, not like he basically accuses Google of age discrimination.

> Anti-price-gauging laws

Price gauging has a very particular meaning; it isn't simply a subjective "you're charging too much".

It is the practice of significantly increasing the prices of goods, services, or commodities during a time of crisis or high demand. This can happen when there is a sudden shortage of a product, like during a natural disaster, or when there is a surge in demand, like for popular concert tickets.

Characteristics of price gauging include:

- unconscionable prices

- taking advantage of a crisis

- limited supply or high demand

In the United States price gouging is illegal after a state of emergency has been declared.

In almost every practical utility aspect a traditional truck outperforms a cybertruck, towing anything heavy, driving anywhere remote, etc. So you’ve lost everyone who owns a camper.

For people who don’t need the power or durability of a full size truck, the Maverick is significantly more economical as an around town truck to throw your mountain bike in the back of.

Which largely leaves us with people who currently buy for vanity or similar reasons. And I don’t see how the cybertruck is going to find significant market share in a group of people love V8 engines, lift kits, and rolling coal. And it’s not gonna work its way into the generations old argument of which truck is better Ford or Chevy.

The answer is Ford btw, or if you wanna cheat, Toyota.
I posit that even without a lovense it's still very problematic if you are in a 'committed' relationship with 'real boyfriend'.

I believe more and more people are realizing the emotional cheating (https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=emotional+infedelity&ia=web... ) can be as damaging to a relationship as one that includes physical intimacy.

Of course it depends on the ground rules of the relationship - there are many types, and poly is more popular than ever it seems.

Reminds me of a discussion with an old friend from earlier today where we discussed a relationship of someone we know, where the girlfriend had a red line against watching porn and even got irate when certain movies or TV shows were watched because they included [whatever thing that went against monogamy or whatever] - and yet many women, I believe, that would rail against porn usage are actively involved with leading on (often multiple) suitors in their DMs or friends lists of social networks (and sometimes in the offline world at work, the gym, etc).

Infidelity is already easier than ever, another tech tool to make it easier is just one more tool in the toolbox ihmo.

People need to be more honest and transparent, they should share more about how they use technology whether it's a chatbot, incognito tab, DMs or whatever imho.

Will people admit they are in 'poly with tech' relations in the future? Will they draw the line at (any kind of controlled) physical touch?
Will they say anything you do with a chatbot, real doll is okay but touching other humans is not?

Admit it or not, many are already engaged in sharing a primary partner with others, I think many don't admit it and some don't know.
I'm a solopreneur. Thank you for seeing it as a massive project :) I don't have a plan to do that, but I want to form and run a small community.

I started this project using Excalidraw, but I started it because it was uncomfortable to draw professional diagrams. I'm the developer who created StarUML and I have experience with commercial diagram software.

Most of the features you mentioned are under planning. DGM have the ability to define custom shapes through constraints and scripts (https://docs.dgm.sh/guides/shape-properties/#advanced-proper...), but it's not matured yet.

Thank you for your opinion.

As a dev, I like Tailwind. As a consumer, it has stripped away a lot of how I learned to write websites in the first place. "View Source" is confusing now. Gone are the days of beautiful CSS selectors.

Tailwind sacrificed that for dev ux. The next generation will have a harder time learning about web primitives.

My model looks at the headline only and does not consider the quality of the post or any metrics thereof. I thought the article was basically right but the use of the word "converging" is unconventional.
> PDF solved a problem for publishers and magazines, not for consumers needing to read properly typeset digital documents. we just got the bread crumbs and then they became standard

I'm not quite sure what you are saying: PDFs of course provide "properly typeset digital documents" to consumers. Do you mean that consumers don't need or want those? I think they do - look how much effort is put into presentation in every format on every platform.

I think, more importantly, PDF also provides consumers with a high-quality document they know they can read every easily, anywhere - any platform, any time, etc. - with just a click. What other format comes close? Imagine not having it - do you have the app to open the document? will it look like the original? when someone refers to the diagram on page 54, is the pagination the same for your copy/platform/etc.?

Also there is annotation, long-term presrvation, authentication (signatures), etc. but I don't want to sound like a broken record.
Chip War would be a good "2023" book.
Obviously not in all cases, but lots of times, page numbers matter. Books, user manuals, accounts, agreements, all benefit from "on page 4" type descriptions.

Outside of that, PDFs are "hard" to edit (unintentionally) so for a quote or invoice I know you're seeing what I sent you. I've never had a PDF "updated" by a manager on my side, or yours.

And yeah, ultimately, they're often printed if they're legal or accounting.

There is a good thread about vi on HN from a few years ago. I think the subject was OpenVi.

It did in the WinTel world, after the 4th gen i7. Performance stayed flat from 5th gen until 10th or so. It's better after that. Between these later CPUs and and NVMe drives, it feels like computing has picked up a lot.

At least until Windows 11 ad/crapware bloats it all away.

Although I'm thinking as the next gen leaps are getting diminished year by year and smartphone like Pixel 8 are already more pricy than it should have been, companies can just jack their prices with even less innovation saying 7 years security updates but how long does an average user keeps phone anyway and will batteries are going to last that long.
Phone hardware most likely would've turned to crap in 3-4 years. But if one does keep it up and running despite all odds for 7 years they can keep it secure. I guess its great.
Surely someone here either knows a FB insider or is one, and could anonymously give a realistic description from the inside on what "creepy information" exists for the average user.

Imagine UV-ing common spaces, like doorways, when people are not around.

Sunlight has a fair amount of UV; I suspect that subjecting people indoors to an amount of UV radiation comparable with a day outside might be OK.
