The economy isn’t doing so well and it’s not going to correct itself any time soon. It’s not really that noticeable on the larger scale but any company that produces anything non-digital is still having supply line issues. Not as bad as a few years ago, but still bad enough to cost the global economy a lot of potential growth.

Then there is the higher interest rates, which in themselves are an issue for the economy. Not so much because companies “need” to borrow money as such, but because the ridiculously low interest rates made it easier to make more money since you could fund things with money you didn’t have, since it was basically free to do so. A lot of places even sort of dropped the ball on this, not locking in the rates on their loans because, well, because we’re collectively rather stupid, so many organisations are looking at making deals with banks to find some reasonable place to land these loans in a way that doesn’t hurt anyone too bad.

There is more to it than that, but the over all result is that a long with the inflation (which may have stopped but it’s not like prices are dropping just because they paused increasing) wage stagnation and so on, is that there is a lot less purchasing power and willingness both in the investment and in the consumer markets.

You can say that companies over hires during the COVID lock downs, which isn’t really wrong, but we’re also sort of in a recession that we have collective agree not to talk about. Partly because it’s a weird recession considering the job market is hot.
It seems like that would only work for platforms where music, TV, and movies are central to why people buy it, like smart TVs or smart speakers. That doesn't seem true for a VR headset.

One problem with that though is that smudge and clean are not used in rename detection. Git purposely skips running these filters to detect renames for performance. There are quite a lot of other issues with smudge/clean too though.
I have the same question but about Morrowind. Nvidia demoed RTX remix using morrowind which looked amazing but does that mean Nvidia itself will be releasing it or people will have to do it themselves?
I definitely wouldn't have reached that conclusion.

Evidence in favour: The sun is a light source, they are much dimmer light sources with much smaller radii, consistent with the hypothesis.

Evidence against: There are none at intermediate distance, they're either the sun or so far away to practically be a point light [1]. The sun is yellow, they are not [2]. The sun has a partner in size (measured in portion of the sky it takes up) with the moon, which I presumably know is relatively close by, suggesting some form of relation between them [3].

Ultimately I know that there are lots of ways to give off light. Fire, fireflys, lightning, the sun (if it isn't fire), hot metal, sparks from static electricity, ... There just isn't enough evidence to believe that it's more likely that the stars are the same source as the sun than yet another source.

[1] As it turns out "so far away to be a point light" is the intermediate distance, but that result requires an amount of empty space that I would find unlikely. I haven't checked this but I suspect a statistical analysis would also find it unlikely. Assuming all stars are the same size as our sun, and that they're distributed uniformly in space. Given that I count the stars and come up with a reasonable minimum and maximum distance bound from their brightness, I suspect it is extremely unlikely that there are as many as there are but none close enough to be noticeably brighter. This result (assuming it is true) is of course the result of the fact that many stars are far larger/brighter than the sun, so we're actually sampling from a much larger volume than my naive estimate suggests.

[2] I'm not sure I fully understand this one... the sun appears yellow because of some quirk to do with the light the atmosphere lets in, but why doesn't that make the other stars yellow too?

[3] Pure coincidence

Every year Riot releases a new cinematic for League of Legends to celebrate the start of the season. Last year they released the worst cinematic in all of their history. This announcement makes me wonder if their sudden rapid growth was at least partially the reason for why they ended up shipping such a bad video.

In the last year Riot also started to sell severely overpriced skins, despite a lot of outrage from the community. With their lootbox system you basically only guaranteed certain skins if you spent like $200, which many players complained was inaccessible for them. Maybe this was a sign that financials were not in a great place for the company.
It is more crazy that this was allowed to continue for so long.
Good persistence in finding a good solution, but I wish the author found a solution that didn't involve mold. I'm in the same situation; I have a programming language that builds self-contained executables by bundling bytecode with a prebuilt interpreter. But I'm not nearly as smart as the author, so I link a fixed multi-megabyte chunk of sentinel bytes into the interpreter (using xxd to produce a literal array in a .c file) and at embed time I search for the bytes and overwrite them in-place. This works for executables on any platform and doesn't require a special linker, but the hardcoded limit (and wasted space when you come under the limit) is undesirable.

I totally agree. The worst thing is going directly from feedback -> ticket. Not only because of what you describe, but also because you end up with a product that is just a list of features without a coherent "idea". Especially when you've got eager developers that will see some slack in the schedule and just pick up a random ticket because it's "easy".

Usually when customers give feedback it's to address an immediate need they have, so they'll suggest adding a button/option/toggle/whatever. And that's fine, but if you do that for every piece of feedback, you'll end up with an unusable mess. Especially because it's usually very easy to add that one extra button/option/toggle.

You usually require someone to go through all the feedback and try to address the root cause of what they're asking for. Sometimes the extra option is unavoidable, sometimes it leads to redesigning some system to be more generic to support what the customer wants + more.

I do think the feedback needs to be linked to the work somehow, not hidden away in a separate PM tool or whatever. Ideally retaining the raw feedback, because sometimes when summarizing it, things get lost.

Sure you can tie yourself (and your lawyer and accountant...) in knots trying to come up with the ultimate tax and legal strategies, but at the start up / early-stage phase, getting something to market and getting customer feedback (and reaching some kind of profitability...) feel like they are going to matter a lot more than saving a few ducats in taxes, for most businesses.

I have a feeling a lot of HN devs overvalue the value of old data... probably because they have adblockers and dont know what ads they are targeted for. Youtube's algorithm seems to forget my interests after a year (or less), I often have totally new feeds than I did 6 months ago. When I got back into music production and also watched some airplane crash videos my entire feed became music + "dark stories" related content bringing non-stop music gear + engineering related education sites. Almost all ads I see on my phone via Google properties are related to the current thing I care about.

Beyond biographic details which are 99% disconnected from my old individual instagram/fb data (FB can just buy some correlation between email/phone/IP from my credit card or private postage company or whatever) they probably only profile IRL off the last 1-2yrs of your browsing behaviour in most cases.

The classic privacy invading ads usecase is a woman who is pregnant suddenly getting ads for kid stuff before other people they know they are pregnant. They probably won't be getting those ads a year later. At most they are now labelled as potential mother in some macro profile, but for day-to-day targetting it's all about the current thing she's looking at online.

I'm not defending this stuff and macro details matter for privacy at the nation-state and higher level, but my general point is that it's a living machine, constantly adapting with a short timeframe of data to maximize utility, not one that cares much about what you googled a few yrs ago 99% of the time.

Sure things can feel all sorts of ways, but an initial gut reaction is not often the best one. People can choose to see themselves as a victim or they can choose to see themselves as having agency. Deciding that feelings are immutable things that can't be touched by reason is a choice too.

A layoff can prompt suffering or it can just be a blip between jobs depending on how you prepared someone is for it. A person who chooses to exercise agency is more likely to take steps to prepare because they don't feel they're helplessly at mercy of forces they can't control. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You're referring to a cloud-agnostic solution.

Embrasure is self-hosted since each instance is deployed within an organization's infrastructure, but as you mentioned, it's AWS-dependent.
Technically the goal of enabling IPv6 can be done through Cloudflare as well, which they enabled a few days ago. I wonder why they turned it off and are back to directly serving traffic.
My issue is they advertise “free, free, free”, but only for federal. After you go through everything they hit you up for money to file with the state. To go elsewhere means doing everything again, so people just pay it.

It’s probably technically in the fine print, but it certainly felt like bait and switch the first time I ran into it over 20 years ago. I’m still bitter all these years later, and get reminded on a yearly basis, as it’s still standard practice. They can make federal “free”, because they can just lump all the costs in on the state taxes. Nothing is actually free.

It also makes no sense to me that it costs money to e-file, while sending in paperwork that a person needs to open and process is free. It seems so backward.
It's not really, since an IPv6 /64 prefix has one customer behind it while a CGNAT has N customers.
Ask HN: Why is barcode data so hard to find?
I had a concept that seemed easy enough, and step 1 was identifying products from their barcode. I tried it on a couple items (Bose speaker, wifi router) in my house and the scanning apps couldn't identify them. These aren't once-off products made by a home inventor, or a bag of apples from a local producer. It's Bose.

Googling open barcode databases hasn't been useful. What's the blocker here? Do people get sued? Not enough motivation? Not enough momentum? Does the effort force people to charge for this?

There don't seem to be that many e.g. electronic products in the world, but obviously my intuition is broken on this. What's up with barcodes, HN?
Because Brave is the topic of this thread.
Cool! For my own edification: how did you validate this idea before building? It sounds like the kind of thing you would have to convince people they need. Or am I wrong and people were telling you they needed this?
> Like most things people don't like about IPv6, you don't like this because you misunderstand how it's supposed to work.

Thanks for explaining my own motivations to me, while at the same time denying that any discussed changes are relevant to anyone.

> There is no need for a ULA registry

I was merely summarizing what the public opinion on the matter happens to currently be. Which suggests that the current recommendation to pick a random address and be happy with it is inadequate. The original posts dissatisfaction with being able to deploy IPv6 _conveniently_ also hints that improvements would be welcome by most people.

> ULAs are routable and "global" addresses in exactly the same way that RFC1918 addresses are routable and global.

RFC1918 explicitly defines it's addresses as local and not globally unique. RFC4193 specifies that these addresses are meant to be globally unique. RFC1918 requires a more specific level of filtering than RFC4193, and the definition of "site local" has always had some ambiguity to it.

So, within the very specific and nuanced points I was trying to make, no, they're different.

Sure, and I understand the disappointment and impatience, but Tesla is not exactly positioning themselves as a conventional player in the car industry either.

All those shoulds are value statements which are not universal law. They're opinions about what constitutes fair.
Corporations may touch a large number of people but those people are not a representative sample. Further, corporations are not lobbying for the interests of that large group of people, they are lobbying for the interests of the corporation, whose interests may incidentally and temporarily align with the groups you mentioned. The interests of the corporation only align with those of the people you mention insofar as those are in line with maximizing profits. However, this completely ignores the externalities of maximizing profits, such as those to the environment.

More broadly, a country whose politicians represent the interests of corporations is no longer a democracy. Democracy is for people. Corporations are not people. They are abstract legal entities wired to maximize profits. The fact that they are composed of people is immaterial, since they do many things contrary to the interests of those people all the time.
How many maintenance issues occur in Japan?
The disconnect occurs when you realize that the issues businesses lobby for don't always benefit their own employees, nor are they only ever lobbying just to stay alive as a business.

In point of fact, Intuit's lobbying in this very instance also negatively impacts their own employees.

Edit: A generic example to further drive the point home would be oil companies lobbying against environmental protections. Such moves only benefit the business and directly harm everyone, including their own employees.

Edit 2: And then there are all of the instances where businesses have lobbied against changes to labor laws, wages, etc. that would objectively improve the lives of their own employees...
