That actually sounds horrible and even worse than Florida not having car inspections so half the cars on the road look like they're about to fall apart.

I thought no inspections was awesome when I moved there (I build race cars) until I drove around and realized what that really meant. Nobody taking care of their cars.

I saw a ton of little trucks with window unit air conditioners built on top. Mad max there.

So you think that the challenges keeping grid capacity and stability up with demand are FUD? I think they are reasonable concerns, and seeing early signs of that already here. Our power costs are on track to go up significantly over the coming years, mainly because of capacity. Building new clean, scalable energy is expensive, someone has to pay for that demand.

I think these are very real, and reasonable problems on the horizon. And like I said, these costs are already being noticed. My power bill is going up by over 10% in the next two years for capacity reasons. They are paying people to put in more efficient electric heating, so we are using less and paying more. I know this is info about my own region but Europe is also heading toward these problems on a wider scale:

https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy-environment/news/gro...

https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/journey-to-net-zero-sto...

Also "Otherwise it’s like running your dryer". It is not, at all. If the cost of running my dryer goes up 10% that's not a big deal. Running my car at a 10% increased cost is significant. If my whole neighbourhood gets home at 5pm and plugs in, the grid would fall apart here.
I interpreted GP's comment less as "drum sucks compared to disc" and more as "well, it's got brakes" being the only listed safety feature, on a car that is sold in some markets without even airbags.

It's kind of like the old "front fell off" sketch:

> [Senator Collins:] No, rubber’s out .. Um, They’ve got to have a steering wheel. There’s a minimum crew requirement.”

> [Interviewer:] What’s the minimum crew?

> [Senator Collins:] Oh, one, I suppose.

Or the Simpsons gag about the Carnivale knockoff TV set:

> It features a two pronged wall plug, pre-molded hand grip wells, durable outer casing to prevent fall-apart.
While I'm a huge Svelte fan, this project hasn't really gotten very much care and attention over the last few years.

Which is honestly fine. React and React Native I think do a much better job of filling the niche of people who want to build native apps with web tech.

That being said, I think with the progress that Safari has made in implementing PWA support, the increased hostility of Apple toward native developers, and browser improvements like WebGPU coming out soon, I really hope that we no longer have to build native apps for like 95% of use cases. The only major hurdle to this is Apple continuing to treat web apps as second class citizens on iOS and only begrudgingly adding APIs to Safari to make good native experiences.
It’s not FUD, it’s reality in California where even off-peak electricity is over $0.40 per kWh. People buy EVs in California because they’re a luxury good, not because they save money on gas.
For birthdays, I always just pick the nearest static holiday. So eg if you’re born July 9th, I’d just put July 4th for everything. Then when it’s time for recall, it’s as simple as “does this need a real birthday or a marketing birthday” and pick July 4th or 9th.
I think this is somewhat overwrought, but I think the iphone comparison obscures more than it reveals.

The Vision Pro isn't in a new hardware category. It's actually entering a somewhat crowded field of companies offering headsets of various kinds. The VP is different in a few ways of course, but it's not clear exactly what prevented previous offerings to get wide adoption. If this product is going to be "successful" (whatever that ends up meaning) you would expect something about the VP to diverge from the trajectory of previous offerings. So far, at least as far as apps go, it seems like it's doing worse.

> v2, v3, etc., which will be lighter/cheaper/whatever else

I understand what you're gesturing at here, but this isn't v1 at all. This would be the equivalent of entering the smart phone market in 2015. If Apple isn't able to offer a noticeably more compelling experience with this realease, it does not speak well for their overall vision.

You can't throw down a claim like "Before the 1920's there was no way to amplify electrical signals" here without some pushback.

The triode theoretically dates from 1906, but took a while to be usable. There were various other techniques, using magnetics, that I think were more popular. Can someone give a better account of how, in 1919, people would have amplified an electrical audio signal?
To follow up, I moved the device to be right near the access point and it worked ok. So now I need to figure out what I’m going to do when it’s in situ…
I think he has a better point if he focused on intra-relationship murders. In these cases its usually women who are the victims in most country statistics i have seen. From the swedish one:

> I alla 10 fall av dödligt våld i en parrelation 2022 var offret en kvinna, vilket var 5 fall färre jämfört med 2021

=> In all 10 cases of fatal violence in a couple relationship in 2022, the victim was a woman.
A country could benefit from having behemoth monopolist companies, as long as they're pulling plenty of money from abroad into the country.

If Facebook and Google have a duopoly on online ads, and businesses in India and Saudi Arabia and Russia and Europe who want to advertise online are sending money to America, and the companies are making lots of their American employees rich - that sounds like a good thing for America?
People like to complain about how expensive car ownership is in the USA but ignore the fact that poor people and teenagers still manage to own cars.

You can still buy a 30-40 year old Volvo for $1-2k on Craigslist that will be reliable and safe for decades of hard use with basic maintenance anyone can learn to DIY for a few hundred $ per year.

What people are actually complaining about is that the status symbol of owning a newer or expensive looking vehicle is expensive.

The fact that older vehicles massively depreciate in value even when still serviceable is a massive benefit to those on a budget. I toy with the idea of going car free to save money, but at the end of the day, owning older cars I maintain myself costs me next to nothing.
I don't think bypassing a law used by huge platforms to avoid responsibility for the harms they are actively complicit in is a bad thing.
That the easiest way for a UI design tool using a native toolkit and targeting that same toolkit to display a preview of the UI being edited turned out to be embedding the 800-pound gorilla called a webview.

No, it most definitely is not. Walmart (one 'l') is consistently in one of the top employers with employees on SNAP. So, if you live and work in the US, you're subsidizing Walmart's employees.
My uncle was a truck driver.

Driving a new route (in his work) was generally not considered "exciting" - but taxing.
Exactly. This is what I hate about the COVID behavioral changes in companies.

The norms have shifted towards getting less for the same (or similar inflation-adjusted) money.

Earlier, you expected daily housekeeping if you stayed at a hotel or motel. Now, so many of them have moved to a "Hang a tag outside if you want the room cleaned" model. And this isn't just cheap motels. I once stayed at a 250 a night hotel that was following this model.
I think the base models are there mostly to be able to advertise a more attractive starting price. I got the base trim of my car but anecdotally the dealership was getting very few of them and on the road I also see very few.
Walmart has a lot of SKUs made just for them - and that's not even getting into the house brands. I bet their logistics works quite a bit differently than the average retailer.

Cashiers are easily replaced, and don't have to pass DOT drug tests or maintain licensure - a CDL is a big deal, and even minor traffic violations including while driving a personal vehicle off the clock can impact it.
I am continually amazed at what was old is now new again. It was a bit before my time but there used to be a restaurant chain started in the depression called Automat where you'd pay for your food and they'd give you a key that let you open a locker to get your food. They were quite popular in the NYC area but according to my folks never really caught on in the Midwest.
OP already mentioned that it adds additional hurdles for possible future tech giants to have to cross on their quest.

It's akin to a Great Filter, if such an analogy helps. If Meta's open models make a company's closed models uneconomical for others to consume, then the business case for those models is compromised and the odds of them growing to a size where they can compete with Meta in other ways is mitigated a bit.

The only way it would be effective is if that credential had broad abilities to destroy, and I wouldn't want such a credential to get stolen. It would be bad enough for your most trusted operator to have it honestly.

The best way to do it would be to run the delete with no access, see what permission errors you get, and then only give those permissions until you've successfully deleted the object.

The safest way (but obviously more work) to do one off work like this is start permissionless and slowly open up. There are tools that can help with this, extracting the permission errors and generating the files to update the permissions.

I have built many mobile apps in the last years. I always used web technologies rendered inside webviews, using tools like capacitorjs.

Since I am very concerned with user experience, I always considered the perceivable UI rendering performance as highly important. For contemporary smartphones I cannot see any benefit in using tools like react native, flutter, nativescript in contrast to rendering inside a webview.

I think UI libraries like ionic are indistinguishable from native UI components. At least, to the best of my knowledge, there is no real user study, which proves the contrary. So why should one use such cross-platform tools and not use svelte directly with a webview?
> The real scandal is that we're not building out public transit so that people do not need to own a car in the US.

Is there evidence that a large number of people actually want more public transportation? If we're talking about commuters, most people who live in suburbs and commute already have the option to drive a short distance, park and ride a bus to their jobs.
Thanks! Any details how you chunk and find the relevant code?

Is it that it runs Linux binaries unmodified or that it runs vms and manages VMs which run Linux, and as an end-user, that's what you run your software in?
I don't buy their numbers, they're a prime example of lying with statistics. Their averages might be good enough, but it's always the edge cases that stand out and make all the difference. Their dark scenes in particular are full of compression artifacts that ruin the premium experience they're trying to sell. This was back in late 2020.

More worryingly, if their metrics show that video quality barely improves past whatever bitrate they're serving now, then their metrics must be completely wrong.

I'm not paying for that, especially with how they often fail to deliver 4K in the first place through their native apps. I could never get my 4K stream working on a Windows 10 machine at the time, so I switched to the high seas which does so perfectly.

I rarely watch any of their original shows anymore for other reasons (their tendency to abruptly cancel shows for one), but the video quality difference between Netflix and HBO/ATV+ is staggering.
> This is much harder to do across companies.

Because those tech companies intentionally make it unnecessarily hard. Rather than creating an (open) standard they dig out an extra moat around their walled garden, and make it essentially impossible to release well-integrated products without paying the Apple/Google/Amazon Tax - if they even allow it at all.

Just compare it with a standard like Wifi or Displayport: it's orders of magnitude more complex than pushing some audio to a headphone, yet it works seamlessly across dozens of vendors. When was the last time you had to worry about your computer with a Windows Ethernet port not being compatible with a router providing Apple Ethernet?
Gut check was that the "Most states give free IDs" statement wouldn't hold up. So I checked real quick.

"At least eight states issue free or discounted IDs to low-income or homeless residents and at least 10 states waive ID fees for seniors."

That's far from most states, and even then it comes with stipulations.
It wasn't a a death threat but it would be safe to say that it expresses his sentiments. Being drunk is a partial excuse but it's a serious faux pas and he should own it rather than pretend it never happened.

It’s only disappointing if you care about the relative power of national economies.

A fast turnaround time is also super important; if the transcription is not correct, waiting multiple seconds for each turn would kill the application. E.g., ordering food using voice is only convenient if it gets me right all the time; if not, I will fall back to the app.
Nice quote, but when you drill down a little further, they observe that the correlation didn't actually follow the facial features.

> But these facial characteristics were only associated with perceived intelligence. The researchers found no link between these facial traits and actual IQ scores.

Try again. Or better yet, recognize that this just-so argument is a lost cause, and abandon it.

To rehash a top-level comment, I'd love to see your study replicated with these ten couples sprinkled in: https://www.boredpanda.com/couples-nacho-rojo/
I agree, thats why chose to put PRICE PER NUTRITION in all caps because there is a huge difference when someone spends $4 for a carton of eggs vs $4 for a bag of potato chips for example. Everyone seems to complain about food prices but everytime Im at the grocery store I see carts filled to the brin with nutritionally worthless processed foods.

And prep is easy, I guess my tastes are simple - beef, eggs, salt maybe a litle hot sauce. I can cook 3 pounds of ground beef and add about 10-12 eggs in a 12" fry pan and have 3-6 meals in containers in about 45 minutes.
Hurting the robot vacuum cleaner competition, I find it extremely far fetch. Which competition to begin with ? The only competition I'm aware of are Chinese ones, developed and build in China. I wonder if Chinese influence/lobbying on the EU as played here. Also, if Amazon is a big enough retail store to restrict the competition of the entire robot vacuum cleaner competition, we have another problem. I even doubt that most robot vacuum cleaners are bought online.

One thing the article doesn't seem to mention is noise. I've found that the "actual" air purifiers seem to be much quieter than box fans. Perhaps if you had greater control over the box fan's speed you could get the noise down to a comparable level, but I doubt the cheap type of fan used in the article is capable of such a thing.

I was so fascinated by the Telharmonium when I first discovered it years ago, I bought an obscure book - Magic Music from the Telharmonium by Reynold Weidenaar - which is based on the authors PhD. Cahill reads like a 19th century tech entrepreneur working on music synthesis and distribution before the age of electricity and electronics. Truly a man before his time. Cool to see it on HN.
Yeah, none of those are comparable. TV never lead to children bullying each other anonymously which then leads to kids committing suicide.
The box fan's CFM is probably a good order of magnitude higher than most commercial purifiers, meaning in theory it should move more air through the filter, thereby cleaning the room faster.

That said, it probably doesn't provide much vacuum/head, so the air that gets drawn through it probably doesn't change much with tape, although I'm guessing the energy draw goes down...

So two comments for DIY air filters, put fiberglass or similar prefilter over the hepa filters, and/or add more filters instead of tape around the fan. Even if they aren't hepa they will catch stuff.

It's kind of the opposite of sour grapes, it's like signing the purchase of a car but then you find out somebody else is selling a similar car for 20% off and you feel like you don't want to buy the car anymore but you signed but then the other guy can't sell you for some reason and you're all too happy to let that slide.

While I agree with you, there's sarcophagi in museums all over the world.
I think the comedy comes from listing “this car has brakes” as a safety feature, as that’s the only thing they could come up with. Like, of course the car has brakes, it’s a car. I suppose the steering wheel is also a safety feature as it helps you to avoid collisions in some cases…

It’s worse than that. They had to put him there first in order to dredge him from it. I love how the UK is a fascinating mixture of modernism and traditions, but this fits right in the return to the 19th century theme some Conservatives seem to want.

> Like, sure, get a Lord to be Minister for Steam Engines or something, but Foreign Secretary? You are having a laugh.

Indeed. And steam engines are very relevant because this kind of fudge is completely anachronistic.

You could take the Mogg out of his coffin, I suppose. I am not sure he’d have many supporters but he would probably be flattered.

Boris would do anything for a blowjob or if it could help him avoid doing something a bit difficult.

I am not sure Truss got the message, from what I have heard of her post-PM speeches.

There are plenty of faceless xenophobic ex-ERG types who seem to be convinced they are the only true patriots. I can imagine one of them getting delusions of grandeur and overestimating their popularity.

Truth be told, it’s become difficult to imagine how low the Conservatives would go in a leadership contest. And as long as they are the ones deciding who gets a shot at beating Truss, anything goes. Hopefully things will become more sensible after a general election, but at this point I will need to see it to believe it.
