I just noticed that they were launching their first satellites in 2019. It's impressive that they are now able to casually talk about the different routing options for the data streams to remote areas just 5 years after that.

At first this sounded like an utopian dream but now it looks like common infrastructure that has a place in everyones life.

This must have been the same feeling when the first landlines were installed. The very first lines were a sensation and then after only a few years it becomes normal quickly.
The US military already uses commercial satellite communication systems.
Most optical archive products seem to have been discontinued.
Seriously, what percentage of people who just spent at least $3,500 on the hardware would quibble over an extra $5 when it comes to as essential a native app as Youtube?
1.78 trillion dollar company could have made app, or even better, not disable the iPad version in contempt.
Why do this when YouTube would have one eventually? This isn’t like Reddit client, I’ve never heard of a 3rd party YouTube client. Is he doing it for fun or just to get the initial impatient $$ before YouTube shows up?
Don’t pretend it’s anywhere near a free market as is. It’s nigh impossible to build new or denser inventory there.
You can get them for what $12.50 a piece

That’s 12 times the cost of hard drives

Where are you seeing $1 100GB hard drives, or $10 1TB ones?

An LDS whistleblower disagrees: the LDS church created an elaborate complex of shell companies to disguise for profit investments for roughly two documented decades. The SEC penalized them a tiny fraction of what the whistleblower documented.

With the exception of losing weight (already a 22 BMI) I tried pretty all of this to no avail. Turns out I had a deviated septum and surgery fixed the problem. As a bonus, I can easily breathe through my nose now.
That's the conundrum of being a modern tech CEO - you're supposed to forever pretend you're the high school buddy with everyone, even if the "startup" you're running is a billion dollar+ multinational corporation, and you yourself are wealthier than anyone except the world leaders and other corporate... er startup CEOs.

I think the goalposts are definitely moving. ChatGPT definitely counts as an AI as I imagined an AI fifteen years ago.
I echo the author's praise of YouTube Premium. When it first came out I was like there is no way I would ever pay for such service. Being an early YouTube user, pre Google buyout, I still was in love with the platform that gave me content from real people.

Fast forward to 2020 the US election cycle broke me. I could not stand the amount of political ads that were being shoved down my throat. My kids were perma home due to COVID and we were running out of things to watch. I finally caved and got YouTube Premium. I told myself OK after this shit show of an election cycle ends I will cancel and yet here I am still paying for it. It is that good.

Yes I realize that I am part of the problem. I just got my first Amazon Prime ad tonight trying to catch up on the train wreck Wheel of Time show they are putting out... and I am going to upgrade to not have them because I simply DGAF about whatever bullshit that they are filling advertisement slots with.

$2.99 a month is worth it. Kill me now.
Their server (PHP 8) is Free Software under the GPL v3 but I can't find any link to the SQL dump mentioned in the README that one would need to actually run it.

I have fond memories of Gmail's "no emailing drunk" feature and I swear it saved me a couple times.

I think it no longer works, or, well, I grew up.
Around 2022 I was considering getting a new gen of Philips Dreamstation as a replacement for a beaten Resmed. Eventually I settled with a newer model of what I was using (AirSense 11).

Philips had a very good reputation in the community, their accessories are more affordable, more “boring” is a good way. I really preferred a company that way, but after all it sounds like I’ve dodged a bullet.

Except most Macs no longer have USB-A ports, so you'll need an A-to-C adapter if you do buy this.
SocialGro.AI is one of the best Hootsuite alternatives. Check out this detailed comparison between Hootsuite and this Hootsuite alternative.
Ok I’ll concede that’s a graveyard of obscurity in the gcc tree, but some group of people thought each one of those were worth the effort at some point, possibly delusionally. Do you need shipping hardware even? MMIX has a backend. Itanium doesn’t deserve this label though, shall it live forever in infamy.
Have you contemplated ripping the DVDs and/or using a streaming service?

I wouldn't limit my options to just having a DVD if that means compromising everything else, especially if the computer is for work.
Then the platforms should allow plenty of styling, the current "just" is just bad
I like Jon's takes and thoughts generally speaking, but what he's pointing out here is just always true in every discipline. There are experts who have deep knowledge who do the hard stuff and there are practitioners who don't who do the easy stuff.

I think maybe the problem is that the world needs soooooo much software and the bar just seems to be getting lower in terms of the quality of stuff people will ship and expect to get paid for.
You could rip those streams if you really wanted to. Even an analog rip could have better quality than a DVD. (Analog rips don't really circumvent the DMCA and would be legal at least in Japan (my jurisdiction), where copying stuff (including rented stuff) is legal as long as it's for private purposes). (IANAL)
>Is he not the face of the “bio hacking”?

You're overgeneralizing, it's fallacious to suggest we should judge the state biohacking by someone you determined (and brought up) to be the face of it.

Defending "serious biohacking attempts" after saying "and these so-called "biohackers" have become an elaborate joke" makes you appear confused about your stance.
Do you have an references for expedited removal being applied to LPRs? That link you included has this:

"Lawful Permanent Residents (green card holders or LPRs): You only have to answer questions establishing your identity and permanent residency (in addition to customs-related questions). Refusal to answer other questions will likely cause delay, but officials may not deny you entry into the U.S. for failure to answer other questions. LPR status may be revoked only by an immigration judge. Do not give up your green card voluntarily!"

Which strongly implies that CBP can't use expedited removal or consider you inadmissable when you apply for entry. You could certainly be detained until you are seen by a judge though (probably not much better) and I've heard of people being pressured by CBP to fill out a I407 (surrendering your LPR status) and then being removed.
Actually the person you replied to somewhat incorrectly. They're not targeted re-entries because the on-board propulsion of Starlink is too low to precisely control the re-entry location. However instead the satellites are designed to be intentionally "demisable" meaning that every portion of the satellite should vaporize/turn to char/dust during re-entry.

Put another way, every kilogram of Starlink spacecraft has as much energy "stored" in it's motion as around 4-5 tons of TNT.
Not entirely surprised. This is the same guy who took time off from being a famous rock star to finish his undergrad at Harvard "just for fun". He probably codes for fun too.
Also, for example, rustc does a homoglyph detection pass and emits warnings.

> Alas, the DRM for the movie side left a foul taste everywhere…

4.7 GB was worth the cost and effort in 2004. 25GB in 2008? Not really.
I think it feels bad because it inevitably messes up one's digestive clock (which is implicated in robustly configuring the sleep clock) and by implication, particularly with modern food, blood sugar levels.

(I suspect that the long cultural stability of the Spanish long siesta has a lot to do with the cultural stability of mealtimes -- and meal types/sizes -- that developed around it.)

The other day I felt queasy, suddenly, after lunch at a normal time -- so queasy I had to write off the day. I then proceeded to sleep for the best part of 24 hours, because all the phases seemed to merge. A literal 24 hour period, useless. Other people lived normal lives in that period; for me it just vanished.

I think blood sugar had a lot to do with that, as well as the time of year (winter in Britain) and it has definitely unnerved me.

I cope by just accepting it; trying to do things when awake. But there are things you can't really do in the middle of the night if you live in a close, quiet neighbourhood; hoovering, running laundry, shredding documents, even some printers are noisy.
So I guess the cyberpunk equivalent of TFA: disassembling a router, wireless phone charger, or any of the countless devices equipped with a tiny cooling fan, that increasingly live among us in our homes and offices, in order to sample DNA from the dust that accumulates on the fan blades.

(To add a little insult to injury: pull it off an air quality monitor. Those PM sensors have a neat, tiny, dust-moving fan.)
They surely have their own business plan for AR/VR that you're not aware of.
I’d be shocked if there are many long-time Mac owners who own a recent model and don’t also own an adapter.
I like the way he comments on what he repos are. He types them as if he is standing over your shoulder, pointing at the screen and explaining them to you excitedly.
While not as good as Apollo the "Dystopia for reddit" (iOS) or the "Red Reader" (android) are both better than the official reddit app.
Besides ownership, the problem I see with that is that (most) people can only afford so many subscriptions, and with recent fragmentation in the streaming market there are a lot of subscriptions.

I want to see one thing on a streaming service, but I can't afford to pay monthly for that service just to watch that one thing. I would have bought the DVD and given them some of my money, but without that option I don't get to watch that thing and they get none of my money.

I suppose overall they still get somebody's money every month, so they don't mind missing out on mine... but somehow it still feels like a step backwards for digital media.
I did read the article unfortunately. Can confirm not worth reading. Thanks though.
Boston has a beautiful mid-town scale. Don't ruin it.

Yeah at best PCI is somewhat hard to get at first, but after that it's basically only good, or less shady, corporations that bother keeping up compliance or make sure that they follow the guidelines at every step. Shady/troubled operators don't, and to an extent don't have to really be afraid of losing said certification unless they just go fully rogue.
If this is the case, it’s interesting that people are apparently now not bothered by an excess death rate near that of COVID peaks.

Actually, the spec does not say exactly "the language spec can't guarantee anything". It says "undefined behavior --- behavior, upon use of a nonportable or erroneous program construct or of erroneous data, for which this document imposes no requirements." So it says "no requirements" but this refers specifically ("for which") to the behavior in question and not the whole program. This implies that preceding observable behavior can not be affected. (but non-observable behavior can according to the "as-if" rule and this is sufficient for optimization). We added a note to clarify this in C23.
The FDA is preventing Philips from selling any sleep apnea devices in the US for a few years until some unspecified manufacturing quality control problem is fixed. This is interesting because the new devices don’t use the same foam and don’t have this defect. I’m unsure if this ban affects ventilators which were also affected by the foam defect. Still, according to the ProPublica reporting Philips already made bank the last few years. They’re also trying to limit damages by putting all blame on the US subsidiary.
If you had read the article you would find that this app doesn't really need YouTube API access. It's just an iframe. It's 1998 tech.
This is not evidence of that. This machine delivers air at a positive pressure to force it through patients airways. The manufacturer used polyurethane foam instead of silicon foam. Moisture can make this foam break down. The device is likely to accumulate moisture due to it's purpose.

There are multiple unique factors here and microplastics are not involved.

I thought the US was the land of Free Speech. And yet, when a guy speaks his mind he's burned at the stake. Of what use is that freedom, then? Or do you have to be poor and uninteresting to exercise it? Or only in front of your own mirror? So many paradoxes.

If the reference to Biden is the unacceptable one, I see President Biden daily expressing his thoughts on other world leaders, calling them names, saying who must die and who not, who is a good guy, who is a bad one. Is that Free Speech done right?

What is the logic behind making this the title when presumably the majority of the techy crowd on hn would not be able to understand what it means or even why it's important?
My take: ChatGPT doesn't tell me I'm stupid for asking a question, link an unrelated question and state my question is a duplicate, and then threaten to close my account for supposedly not being able to ask a question properly.

Gee, this wasn't foreseeable at all.

I recently made a little project and solely used ChatGPT plus cross-referencing between docs, articles, and other projects and I would do it again in a heartbeat over ever having the gall to ask a question on StackOverflow again.
>hard drives are more expensive but easier to work with

But maintenance is much lower for optical. You can't just put those hard drives in a warehouse and forget about them. And BDXL is 100GB per disk. I don't know if the cost benefit makes sense here but it does seem somewhat possible.
'This is disgusting': TikTok bans 'dangerous' legging legs trend
I have recently been baffled to find that there’s a certain type of “smart person” who will become annoyed if you bring up dark matter, dark energy, or consciousness as a philosophical question. The idea that there are things that we still don’t know, potentially important and paradigm shifting things, is a kind of affront to their sense of comfort. It’s like they think just by bringing these topics up you are somehow undermining Science.
Freedom of speech in the US protects you from government prosecution for speech, not from the criticism of people that don’t agree with your speech.

Ask HN: Was most of the AI Cloud growth from Microsoft fake?
Was most of the growth from Microsoft Cloud their own startup funding coming back to them (i.e. roundtripping) and juicing their numbers to make it look better than it was? It's like they disguised spending as revenue growth.
> Hardly a singular obsession of one person

The parent post means the study of the practice, not the practice itself.

It might make sense -- I think it probably does -- but that doesn't mean that it's not true, when you dig into it, that the major study here is Ekrich and all the articles about it, articles about Ekrich.

Making intuitive sense isn't really enough. It's difficult to study the habits of the long dead, but the parent poster is right to be skeptical of the nature of coverage.
A lot of the internet would break if YouTube removed/tweaked their embedded video player so I doubt he has to worry.
Gah, it's probably in some old laptop somewhere and I can see if I can dig it up this weekend. What does your project do?

Install it, and delete the janky "native" app. Now Youtube is a webpage that does everything it does on a regular browser. PiP? Audio with the screen locked or in the background? Yes and yes.
For the record, both the YouTube app and YouTube in the built-in browser seem to work just fine in mixed reality / passthrough (at least on my Quest 3), but the big feature they're both missing from Juno's feature list is resizable MR windows.

Would love to see a Juno port at some point if it includes this too!

Edit: According to the Internet, apparently there is actually a way to resize the MR windows (their "switch view" button lets you resize them); I'm apparently just blind. Would still love to see a Juno port though; more options is always good.
I've been reading the book Debt by David Graeber, and it went a lot of places I didn't expect. I suspect a lot of things we would take interest in are just not written down, or not commonly explored. For example, it was common for people to visit all their neighbors each day. It was also common for people to give each other gifts, not too large or too small or too equal to form a community.
iOS has Narwhal 2, as well. It’s got its own subscription to defray the API costs but it’s a reasonable price.

Lunaris | Engineering | Tokyo, Japan | On-site | Visa sponsorship | Full Time | https://teamlunaris.com/

Lunaris started out as an otaku-centric online shop called Solaris Japan founded in 2008, and is still going strong to this day. As such, many of us here have a huge passion for anime, gaming, or Japanese pop culture in general. It’s not unusual to see an anime figure sitting on someone’s desk, the latest League of Legends tournament streaming on our lounge television, or hear someone discussing their past adventures on Final Fantasy XI.

However, our passion doesn’t stop there – we’re a team of self-starters who are driven by results. As Solaris Japan continued its success and our customer base grew, we sought solutions to serve our customers, and added Shopify to our toolkit. We then built a number of custom applications for ourself and automated many of our processes, and realized we could offer these solutions to other e-commerce platforms as well. Thus, Lunaris was born, and with it additional e-commerce solutions like easyPoints, easyRates, and more.

We are a team of international engineers, and are actively seeking a few more engineers to join our growing team:

- Senior/Lead Engineer - https://teamlunaris.com/eng/jobs/senior-lead-developer

- Fullstack Engineer - https://teamlunaris.com/eng/jobs/fullstack-engineer

Tech stack: Elixir, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, React (mostly JS)

If Lunaris sounds like a good fit for you, and you're ready for a new experience in Japan (or already living here), please check out the above positions and send in your application.

Of course, if you have any other questions, feel free to reach us at jobs@lunaris.jp

All that land still gets hooked up to the power grid, local roads, the staff’s children need local schools, etc. and property tax is used to pay for upkeep and services. It is not as if Harvard is running its own sewage treatment and maintains the public roads through campus.
I have similar feelings about Arc becoming so tied with AI and that scraping data without showing websites is wrong for internet soul. Feels uncomfortable.

But, so sad that other browsers never put effort on making browser sidebar :( I first enjoyed it with Edge browser but then Arc came and sidebar is incredible. I can't switch to any other browser because of that, I hope they all implement similar (or better) sidebars.
