You worked at google. Would you say that serious top-down leadership with a vision existed in the age of Sundar? I spent time in ChromeOS and Android teams. Almost 8 years of time. The actual teams had some vision and plans, but there was NOTHING from above. So yes, it is quite believable to me. Imagine: fuchsia team wanted to fuck around for funsies. Nobody above stopped it. It is so google 2012+
Cultural differences aren't limited to international interactions either. Here's an interesting thing about exclamation points. Apparently there are (at least) two cultures of exclamation point usage in English. Apparently one culture uses them frequently as a marker of expressing general excitedness. The other culture sees them akin to yelling, which is appropriate only a small fraction of the time.

> I plugged in a few counties here and it looks like many areas have delivery rates significantly lower than that: https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/RateComparison

That page says numbers are year old, I entered my zip there and it says delivery is 20c/kwh for me.

If you don't know the story: PG&E is delivery monopolist in CA, with exception of some places with local powerplants. It was found guilty in causing wildfires, lost in court and need to pay $XXB damages, which it now shifts to customers through multiple rate hikes in 2023 and more coming in 2024.

42c/kwh is initial tier cost, whatever is over limit will be charged at 50c/kwh for just delivery.
Just for the moment, consider the idea of implementing the requirements shown in the figure using a network of connected microcomputers, one microcomputer per bubble.

You can buy straight glucose, sold as "corn sugar", from brewery suppliers. In the US they would like to sell you a 50-pound bag for $100, but a 10-pound bag for $20 should last you a long time. It all comes, ultimately, from Tate and Lyle. It may also be labeled "dextrose"; same stuff. They will let you pay as much as you like. (Some claim to offer "organic", but there is really no way to tell and, by the evidence, they are probably just re-bagging it with a new label, and lying. Enforcement is nonexistent.)

There are other sugars, maltose, maltodextrin, [not lactose] with varying numbers of glucose molecules stitched end on end, collectively amyloses. With enough, it becomes starch.

There is also left-handed enantiomeric glucose, zero calories, expensive, and racemic glucose, 50% calories. The latter is made from raw chemicals. Guessing they make the former by feeding the latter to bugs and selling what is left over, although there are crystallization tricks.

I bake with corn sugar, and it works fine. I have found that hot chocolate made with it is unsatisfying without a half-teaspoon of table sugar added. Or a marshmallow.
Eh, many of my friends have WhatsApp, and I don't really like it. Almost all of them "have" Facebook messenger, but again, no one wants to use it. Maybe I'm biased because it's true for me, but I don't really buy this "nothing's special about iMessage" claim.

Which sucks, because Apple's approach here (while not unexpected) is very disappointing.
For what it's worth, I think this helps HN feel fresh. This is the first time I've read this article, and I enjoy the comments left by my fellow cohorts of this year's read, just like it was something new.

Long lived historic articles can shape multiple years worth of discussion. I think it's even more fascinating to read the comment history and see what the current thinking is, if it has changed compared to previous years, etc.
It's simply that it has a lot of users. Any popular enough communication protocol attracts interest in interoperating with it.

Or if you mean why anyone uses it, it's because SMS is automatically upgraded to iMessage between two iPhone users. Most people wouldn't know how to prevent that from happening or downgrade to SMS and because it feels like texting with a few extra features, they don't want to. That approach has accumulated about a billion users.
Right, it's an "aromatic," and many dishes wouldn't taste right without it. Or, if you only ever eat dishes that don't call for it, I feel sorry for you.

Really? Do you always endorse the external perception/criticism of places you have worked for a while?

I know I don’t, having worked at places where I barely recognized the company from the ridiculous things people said about it on the internet.

Or maybe I’m the problem, wherever I go.
I can't say anything about YC specifically, but, anecdotally from working at a great place that was fairly well known and that constantly had job calls going out for months to years on end, it's because the bulk of people applying actually sucked at either software engineering or at not being weirdly aggressively rude or both.

You might think that the people on HN are all super brilliant engineers with patience and social grace in spades, but I doubt it.

The CBC version of this story is much more detailed:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/tea-cup-stin...

For example:

> In December 2022, Crown lawyer Porte told the court that 150 cups were collected at the celebration. Three were duplicates, and of the 147 unique DNA samples, 91 were male and 56 female.

I can't imagine how much that must have cost! 150 DNA tests!

The CBC version is fully credited to Brieanna Charlebois at the Canadian Press, so I'm a little confused as to why URL you posted does not include all these additional details.

I have no personal information on this matter, this is pure speculation.

I agree that the original intent was to do as you say. But the recent actions suggest that new motives may be in play.

Clearly Eric is a very intelligent person. I find it hard to believe that he believed that reverse engineering such an elaborate workaround would work after Apple had already proven that they were willing to shut him down.

If Eric is as smart as you say, then obviously he did not expect this latest iteration to work. Which leads me to conclude there is value (for him, for his investors) in taking these actions to force Apple’s hand.

Then again, maybe he just wants to prove a point and use the exposure to promote their next app. Whether the app will succeed is unknown but the PR strategy so far is crushing it.

The combustion diagram does look nicer, since it doesn't contain complex overlaps of bonds. However, it's still physically inaccurate. The carbon dioxide molecule should be linear, for example. Molecules have atoms arranged following very specific rules arising from quantum mechanics and the theory of molecular orbitals, you can't solve this with a graph optimization algorithm.

I'd 100% expect game studios to move to pure AI voices as soon as it's feasible to do so. There are even very strong use cases for it, like using it to voice generated dialogue so that NPCs don't need to be scripted word-for-word.

The entire genre of Internet video, too, is likely to do it, albeit because of cost.

Movies and TV may keep using voice actors if it's the prestigious thing to do. Who knows. The point about directing the actor is also good, but I don't know how long it would last.

It's completely wild to me to have been in the field long enough to remember when agile was revolutionary, and then to see it slowly become twisted by decades of mismanagement into something that people hate today.

For most engineers today "agile" just means using jira, 30-60 minute long "stand-ups", and a perpetual panic about not getting enough done in 2 weeks.

Having lived in other countries, the US habit of 'nickel and diming' every sale with taxes and fees that aren't fully announced until payment is one of the most annoying cultural failings. Even governments do it; I recently bought a tree removal permit and my city tacked on a ~15% 'technology fee'. This after I wasted a good hour dealing with the absolutely awful website for the permit application - having to enter the same information on multiple pages by hand, broken address lookup, ugliest imaginable design and layout.
Low hanging fruit when reading these old German scripts is to get used to distinguish the different forms of the letter s. That alone will get you far. Same for OCR, it needs to be capable of that. Otherwise the result will read as if someone without front teeth has written how they speak.

This sums up Raspberry Pi to me. If I want to do something with a RPi there are probably a bunch of posts and videos related to it because of the incredible RPi community. Buy something like an ODROID and good luck. That's been my experience with non-RPi SBCs.

If you need more than RPi, then a proper open platform like x86/x64 is really your only other 'community' option usually.

I use a shorter, similar cable when I travel with 2 macbooks (work and personal). I like to use barrier (software kind-of KVM) to share my mouse and keyboard between them and work on one, but use the other one for music and reference material. I get work/personal separation with the convenience of using one mouse and keyboard.

I simply set up static IPs on each one and also setup internet sharing from one to the other. Surprisingly barrier, internet sharing and even charging always works with this arrangement. I only have to connect 1 macbook to wifi and power.

It's highly unlikely that any F-Droid versions are going to be released by the ad-ware company. This company doesn't publish code as open source, and tibbi (original creator of SMT) is of the opinion that relicensing the code isn't a big deal because they wrote almost all of it.

"Winter" refers to an agricultural-age kind of shortage, not a ice-age-mammoth-hunters sort of situation. With most of the planet's humanity having less than 10k years of agriculture under their belt, it's perhaps been not quite as gene-shaping / evolutionary-impactful as the prior 100000-500000 years of mostly-hunting-and-scavenging (plus whatever little actually-edible non-poisonous plant/fungus stuff actual "gathering" outside cultivated-fields of bred-over-millenia varieties could in fact contribute — seasoning or snack-style most likely rather than the dominant/decisive nutriment/calory-package I'd wager).

But then, I'm not an authority on the matter, just yet-another-mildly-temporarily-curious-thread-partaker.

Certainly, hunting doesn't succeed every day or isn't done every day, so there's an assumption that "we evolved" under an alternation of feast-days (a handful) and fast-days (also a handful). I recall someone's napkin-calcs that one cow (not even mammoth), if fully (not just the fine cuts) utilized (and preservible so long), could nourish a single person for almost a year, and even a sheep for some ~3+ weeks. So as a small tribe you need not hunt or succeed every day — and when you really, really feast on fresh meat ad-lib one day, you'll easily be without (substantial) hunger at least for the next 1-3 days. I also heard once (not a scientist in that area either =) that animal predator carnivores don't nibble all the time, they strike and feast big every couple of days, nap it off, then just sorta roam and play.. outside of structured zoo/circus feeding schedules, that is. (Not that we're such a species as lions tigers or pumas, but we might have been closer to that M.O. for a long long time than today or back as tree-hopping primates.)

I think the goal might be to have more control on android devices to make more money.

Although I don't really see why they can't do that with the linux kernel, maybe the linux kernel sort of prevents them from collecting more royalties.

I just looked it up, and while you apparently do need evelated permissions to create a symlink on Windows (???), I think you don't need elevated permissions to make a hard link. So really your step 1 is "open PowerShell".

So the only reason it's not "trivial" is because you don't happen to always have a terminal window open.

Personally I do almost all of my file management from the shell.
I would love to be able to generate an open source application by using others open source code! Would be amazing if it could just collect all sources in a similar way to how one would make references/citations in an essay, and “forcing” the code to be released as open source as well. Basically build on all the open source snippets that people release to power the future.
The International Phonetic Alphabet might be a good contender. There’s no periodicity, but the columns for the consonants roughly represent place of articulation. The spacial arrangement of vowels is even closer to where in the mouth the sound is formed.
In the US, it's mostly a network effect I think. It was the default on half of people's phones and it managed to be good enough over time (unlike sms defaults on Android) to stay entrenched.

Also, imagine this scenario from the perspective of a non-technical user:
You buy an expensive but high quality phone that's easy to use and has a great camera and great apps. Most of your friends have the same phone and everything works great with them. Then you try to talk to someone new but they have a phone that was probably cheaper and has a worse camera and looks like it's harder to use and full of ads. Every time they message you it turns off a bunch of your features and ruins group chats for everyone. Who are you going to blame, your phone manufacturer whose product seems to work great, or this guy with a phone so cheap and buggy that it breaks everyone else's?

Thus, non-technical iMessage users see no reason to go out of their way to use weird third party messengers. It's not their fault - it's the android users' faults for being cheap.

(For clarity, I am a hardcore android phone but I'm not delusional enough to think the average person will have a better experience on Android then iOS. I had to install fdroid and a custom launcher and a bunch of side loaded apps to get a decent experience. The average person doesn't and arguably shouldn't need to know about all that)
I got started buying Borland C++ Builder in… 1997, I think, and read the book that came with it which was similarly named. It was quite bad, I remember the chapter on pointers more or less said “I can’t explain why you’d want to use them, but when you find a situation that requires them you’ll know you need them” or something like that.
