What seems to actually work is increasing market competitiveness. The open access rules that gave us MVNOs appear to have worked great. Texas electric customers have lots of choice and lower costs under similar rules.

These broadband subsidies might be too good, or at least too well captured by too few players. They may be a good idea generally, but it looks like it's time to revisit the details.
Funny, it looks way better on mobile than it does on desktop [1].

On desktop (Chrome on Mac) each optgroup label is just a disabled item, and then its options are indented menu items below it.

It looks totally hacky -- the name of a group shouldn't seem like "disabled" option, nor are indentations in menu items an established convention.

That sheet on iOS is perfectly intuitive, however.

Personally I don't give games much credit for having decent writing in little tidbits spread around the world that you collect like busywork.

But I also do think this might explain a lot about people's different opinions on videogame writing. The people who run around getting 100% of the lore tidbits and piece it together will often think the writing is much better than the people who are just trying to experience it through gameplay

There are a couple of tricks the seed companies use to get around this:

First off, a year or two before the patents on a variety expire, they simple patent some other feature of the variety. Problem solved (from their perspective).

Second, several years before the patent expires on a variety they'll have a "new, improved" variety (often bred from the first) that their sales-people push hard onto farmers so that by the time the patent expires the variety basically has very little/no commercial value - it's been superseded by the "improved" variety in commercial use.

MVNOs share infrastructure. Nowhere has competitiveness in terms of the actual grid only on the energy production and billing sides.

The Texas grid is a massive failure in terms of both cost and reliability. Somewhere between 246 and 702 people were killed in 2021 when operators had already seen similar issues in 2011. Similarly people received bills that more than wiped out any long term savings they had received from hourly rate charging.
This seems to propose more management layers.

Not denying that a megathrust earthquake will be a severe disaster. But I think this article is unduly panic-inducing, particularly for the New Yorker.

> Perhaps no line in the entire six-thousand-word piece attracted as much attention as this declaration by Kenneth Murphy, head of the fema division responsible for Cascadia: “Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast.” The first important thing to note about that remark is that, needless to say, Murphy really said it, and stood by it in the fact-checking process—so, clearly, fema is anticipating that the region will be in very grave shape.
That said, “toast” is not what you would call a precise description, so let me be more specific. What Murphy did not mean is that everyone west of I-5 will be injured or killed; fema’s casualty figures, while horrifying, amount to under one-half of one per cent of the population of the region. Nor did he mean that every structure west of the interstate will fail.
Correct. The current regional concept of "Germany" proper probably started with the Treaty of Verdun, when the lands of Francia were divided amongst three of Charlemagne's grandsons. The inheritor of Francia Orientalis was in fact also known as "Louis the German".

I think the expectations of potential users have increased and it's an upward spiral.

Reasonable design and interactivity have become the norm with no-code tools, templates and frameworks taking a lot of pressure of those who may have struggled with design if starting from scratch.

This proliferation also increases the standards of users who expect a more polished feel of a product (even if it's simple and barely works with a dumpster fire backend). Notable mention of Craigslist though which is only able to buck the trend due to lock-in. People using your product is the biggest signal that you are on to something but if potential users bounce because of your lacking UI/UX you may be less likely to pursue the development of your product.

Of course this isn't everyone and some of us are more than happy to put up with a less-polished UI in favor of the product itself (I'm looking at you *nix users). 'Show HN' states 'A Show HN needn't be complicated or look slick. The community is comfortable with work that's at an early stage.' and I feel that may be a portion of the users here but chances are higher that even those of us who are willing to use early stage products would prefer cleaner UIs.

Personally though - as someone who likes to launch products - it can be quite disheartening. On one hand I don't want to spend too much time on design however I fear that if I don't it will hinder me. My approach is to apply the 80:20 rule. Educate myself a little in design and use pre-made stuff as much as I can.
This sort of article is also one of the main reasons I visit HN. Whilst I enjoy the technical stuff these occasional nuggets are extremely interesting.
What i dont get is that you have a private company which mis managed its assets. Caused harm to the public. And the public bails them out with no equity or upside. Total shame as the CPUC could have demanded the state or rate payers get equity/bonds in the company for the bail out.

That would be prior art and would invalidate the patent. There would be costs for such a lawsuit, but I don't see why that's a good reason for getting rid of the patent system. It would be like saying we should get rid of property rights because companies could abuse it by claiming that other people's stuff belongs to them and the rightful owner has to go through an expensive lawsuit to get it resolved.
Game writing in particular is particularly hard because games are interactive.

In a movie or a novel, the authors have full control of the story, every choice the characters do can be set to best advance the story, to create dramatic tension, etc... Same thing for how skilled the character is, the outcome of fights, etc...

In a game, at least some aspects are decided by player actions, all of them need to be taken into account. So authors essentially needs to write much more than it is seen, and some of them may be hard to make exciting. Of course, games use all sorts of tricks to give the illusion of choice so that the story is going the way the authors want while at the same time the player thinks he is doing something. But it also adds to difficulty.

And not only that, when you are reading a book, you are expected to read, when watching a movie, you are expected to sit down and watch, but when playing a game, especially an action game, you are supposed to play, and reading lots of text and watching long cutscenes is annoying to many players. So you have to either integrate the story to the action or pack a lot of information in as little as possible dialogue or short cutscenes. Again, it adds to the difficulty of story writing.

Several solutions here. Either you go the visual novel route. Some are games in name only, where the player has effectively no agency. And unsurprisingly, with that pesky player out of the way, the good ones make for the best stories. Some games focus on agency, making your choices matter, but often the story and other aspects of the game are limited. It can also result in really expensive games, which matters because when you are making an expensive game, you have investors who want a return on their investment, and you usually have to play it safe and can't really try wild ideas that may fail commercially. And there is the "Doom" approach, where there is a "story", but it is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible not to distract from the main objective of the game, that is shooting stuff.

Beeper pulls the plug on iMessage in response to Apple banning users
> For many, the purpose seems to have been to reduce their own Jewish populations.

I'm not really aware of much European support for Zionism outside the Balfour declaration in those years. The declaration remained a declaration and pretty soon the Brits flipped their policy and banned Jewish immigration. You had tiny movements of Christians Zionists (Churchill was a Zionist for instance) but I'm not aware of any substantial support they gave.
After the war the big immigration waves were actually from Middle Eastern Jews, not from Europe. Jews from Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon, Syria etc etc whose lives became increasingly dangerous.
So my main point is its quite unclear if there was any major support for Zionism in the West in those years. Only after the holocaust could you find a majority that supported establishing Israel in the UN.

If you want to dig into this look into where Israel got its weapons from during its war of survival in 48: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arms_shipments_from_Czechoslov.... From the communists.
Hi, core team member here (I'm quoted in a parent comment!). The problem with LLVM is not that optimization is slow - it's perfectly acceptable for release builds to take arbitrarily long for optimal binaries. The problem is how long it takes to emit debug builds.

Take building the Zig compiler itself in Debug mode. This process takes about 30 seconds running through the Zig pipeline (semantic analysis and generating LLVM IR), and then 90 seconds just spent waiting for LLVM to emit the binary. OTOH, when using our self-hosted x86_64 backend (which is now capable of building the compiler, although is incomplete enough that it's not necessarily integrated into our development cycle quite yet), that 30 seconds is essentially the full build (there are a couple of extra seconds on the end flushing the ELF file).

I can tell you from first-hand experience that when fixing bugs, a huge amount of time is wasted just waiting for the compiler to build - lots of bugs can be solved with relative ease, but we need to test our fixes! Rebuilds are also made more common by the fact that LLVM has an unfortunate habit of butchering the debug information for some values even in debug builds, so we often have to rebuild with debug prints added to understand a problem. Making rebuilds 75% faster by just ditching LLVM would make a huge difference. Introducing incremental compilation (which we're actively working on) would make these rebuilds under a second, which would improve workflows a crazy amount. This would hugely increase our development velocity wrt both bugfixes and proposal implementation.

It's also important to note that we have quite a few compiler bugs which are [caused by upstream LLVM bugs](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen...). LLVM often ships with regressions which we report before releases come out and they simply don't fix. In the long term, eliminating the use of LLVM as our main code generation backend will mean that all bugs encountered are our own, and thus can be solved more easily.

Yes you’re right thanks, I should have disclaimed earlier, but AK is a member of the team I lead at Hugging Face.
Keep in mind 10 character spaces should be represented by the selection pool size (A-Z = 26, a-z = 26, 0-9 = 10, so 26+26+10=62). You now can say 62^10 = total possible guesses available. Certainly you can start to make intelligent decisions on guessing properties and priorities to reduce your time.

Also I didn't discuss entropy here in order to represent it more basically for the parent comment.
Exiftool is one of those open source tools which provides a lot of features just for free. It’s really amazing that people can work on something like this for so long.

It's unfortunate when people in the wrong decide they'd rather stop the conversation rather than learn from it. And it's even worse when they're insulting about it ("aggressive", "pointless").

Your original comment was:

> but it’s no less usable with the <hr> than without

And the fact is that it is less usable. The <hr> provides a grouping that improves usability. On iOS, that grouping is not there. It's not merely a matter of aesthetic "presentation", it's eliminating information that may be crucial to understanding the presented options. Just because all the options are still there to click doesn't mean usability hasn't been impaired.

Companies run usability studies all the time on their software -- when all the software functionality is already there -- to figure out where the interface is still unclear or confusing, i.e. less usable.

(Or to look at it from a second angle: it's semantic information in the HTML being ignored. It's not merely presentation information residing in the CSS that can be considered optional.)

> Privacy

> I don't think I need to elaborate this point.

I think you do need to elaborate. Bitcoin may need specific actions depending on what one desires and what one’s threat model is. But completely dismissing the privacy part is not helpful. I’ve used Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for some payments that I wanted to be private. I couldn’t ever have done that with conventional payment systems without more exposure than with the cryptocurrency.

As someone who’s been into some cryptocurrencies and later realized what bitcoiners have been saying all along — I’m a bigger believer in Bitcoin than I was when I started. Not too much on Bitcoin as a currency, but in its potential to hold value over the long term. I haven’t had the chance to try Lightning for payments yet. The other one that I prefer to use for payments is Monero.
Mind sharing the reasons?
I'm confused by this. As someone who has set up dozens of released prisoners with ACP, I think you are wrong.

With Lifeline, in my neighborhood, you have a dozen scammy people on every street corner giving you a free phone or tablet, sometimes with no fees, other times they charge you (whether this is legal I don't know). These devices all come with only 15GB/mo of data which the ex-cons use up on YouTube or PornHub within the first three days of each month and then have no data to do anything essential with.

With ACP I can go into any cellphone store, Cricket, Metro, etc, get them a real 5G unlimited plan and decent phone for $40/mo, take off the $30/mo for ACP and off they go. All they have to do is make sure they find the $10 to keep their plan every month and, believe me, they want that porn to keep coming...

It's not really bold at all. Their conservative belief supersedes their liberal ones; you wouldn't be a TERF if you weren't highly discriminatory about your peers. That is, by definition, conservative behavior. If you think TERFs hold a unifying liberal belief that prevails over trans-exclusion, you'd have a point. Alas...

> LGBT advocates who want to keep LGBT institutions to advocate from, are then conservatives.

Sure. They're obviously socially liberal, but that would be an individualist and conservative decision to make.

As I said in the last comment; people who are largely liberal can also hold conservative beliefs (and vice versa). You could even claim in a post-queer world that LGBT advocates then become the conservative party. We don't live in that world though, so radical feminists that believe in trans-exclusion are still socially conservative.
