Or instead of illegal, limit mandatory rescuing, or have people to pay for it themself. Btw. no one will rescue you, if you need help above 7000 m. (unless you made special arrangements with somebody)

Or, just don't change much. And as far as I know, in many states around the world, you will have to pay for helicopter rescue, unless your insurance covers it (but the insurance fee is really not that much).

The crash statistic you got is only counting airliners though, I’m pretty sure the 500 crashes in the Yukon would not appear there, because they aren’t all civilian airliners. The statistic only has 191 for Canada.
Both of you get to the same place: if it's possible to accurately forecast cost and revenue, then all the businesses started by people who can do that will be profitable.

And there are so few serial entrepreneurs in existence that we have the following pair of conclusions:

A. It isn't very probable (we are mostly seeing survivor bias)

B. People who can do that start exactly one business, which is sufficiently profitable that they never bother to do it again

Both of these conclusions lead to the situation that picking a serial entrepreneur to invest in is just buying a lottery ticket.
the validation you are asking for sounds like what CUE does.

If you say

a: 5

a: 3

That’s an error.

If you want the ability to "override", you have to write it like this, for example:

a: *5 | int

a: 3

This also works for struct/list members, so you can set defaults for all fields, and stuff like that.

It's a real shame because the platform is really starting to get good.

> Google lured Samsung away from its in-house Tizen OS with preferential treatment, including exclusive rights to the new "Wear OS 3" release and exclusive apps. That year, 2021, featured head-to-head August Wear OS releases of Samsung's Galaxy Watch 4 and Fossil's Gen 6 smartwatch. Samsung's watch had a faster, Samsung-made SoC, ran Wear OS 3, and cost $250, while Fossil was stuck with Wear OS 2, a slower Qualcomm chip, and a $300 price tag.

It sounds like Google really did sabotage them and they have a right to be upset.

I don’t see the connection between those two statements, but I wholly disagree with your point.

3d humanoid models (avatars) can look like anything. Some look cheap, some don’t. Look at the sheer variety of avatars on vrchat.

VRchat has technical limitations that prevent avatars from looking straight out of a AAA game, but the sheer variety of the avatars and how they’re made and how they’re designed (maya, blender, with shaders, with props, etc) makes VRChat feel more alive and engaging than metas offering.

Any project that has billions of dollars of funding should be able to make good looking avatars that lend a distinct style.
Hell, video games do it yearly on several million dollar budgets.

Sorry, but you’ve convinced me that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

In that case, someone that is easily able to delay but chooses not to might be happiest of all?

Uh huh...

I don't know, I don't find your argument at all convincing that this person gets less enjoyment considering they get to have the same product at the end.

Maybe they have less of a first day wow factor if they touch many intermediate versions, but that fades fast. But even that is a maybe because by splitting up advances you can give each one more focus.

Learning how to walk is way better than crawling, but you're not going to have more total enjoyment by waiting and going nowhere in the mean time.

Obviously they save money, but the interesting part of your claim was that they both save money and get more enjoyment.
In a great many cases, insurance rates drop. Sometimes quite sharply. I've seen as much as a 50% drop.

Auto insurance is inevitably surveillance capitalism. Insurers always look at aspects of life your life and behavior to establish your risk profile. Age, employment, the kind of car you drive, your driving record, and more all have a measurable impact on your risk.

Telematics mostly makes things cheaper for good drivers. It also sometimes gives insurers a chance to try to nudge drivers towards safer behaviors, both through direct messaging and through higher prices for drivers with higher-risk behavior. Whether this is a good idea or not is a personal question, though for my own part I tend to think that underpriced insurance for operators of heavy machinery is not a human right.
This reminded me of a news story:

Ask HN: Will you use and pay for this?
Before Covid I worked for a startup in-office, but during lockdown and what have you, I switched to a remote job.
At my old job we used to have an always on dashboard running with some simple indicators, such as uptime, daily orders, response times, loads etc. It was a very useful way to quickly get an overview of whether everything was “OK” or not, especially when someone would come by and ask why something might not be working or was running slow.
Now that I work remote I don’t have this anymore, and I don’t think the current solutions out there are built for “personal” dashboards. They are built for shared dashboards that are meant to be looked at from afar, and looking pretty, thus also limiting the screen real estate they can take up.

That got me thinking, what if I made a dashboard just for me, that is optimised for usage on a second screen?
I have built that for myself now (at least a very crude version), and the more I built, the more I thought someone else could benefit from this as well.
Hence my question, would you use and pay for this?

I am very keen on that it should be built for productivity, rather than design awards. I want to utilise as much of my screen real estate as possible, and are very inspired by awesome wm, i3 and Dear ImGui.
Here’s a screenshot of my current dashboard: https://pixeldrain.com/u/HXEpLWNE
It can fit up to 96 widgets at once on a single dashboard.

Here’s a small list of some of the integrations I’ve made so far:
- GitHub PR’s pending my review
- Linear issues
- Status pages indications
- Plausible Analysis
- Custom JSON (currently used in combination with Metabase)
Plus a small handful more. Even though I’m an engineer, and the current integrations are obviously tailored to my needs, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible to use for sales persons, CEO dashboards or many other use cases as well.

PTFE is literally the first example mentioned in the Sample chemicals section of the wiki of PFAS, which you linked. Regardless of your views on whether Teflon is harmful, your comment contains misinformation. Teflon/PTFE is PFAS according to the OECD definition and the Wiki page.

Your point regarding whether all PFAS is harmful may very well be interesting but cannot be taken seriously if it is accompanied by blatant misinformation.

Fossil has a brand equity problem that Google certainly knows about. The brand peaked before the smartwatch market even existed, and their smartwatch sales peaked almost 10 years ago.

Fossil Group’s traditional watches including vanity labels like Michael Kors are completely lacking in prestige and desirability.

I would also throw them straight under the bus with Samsung as my alternative. That’s a no-brainer.

The other problem is that the smartwatch market isn’t robust enough for a lot of players. A good smartwatch needs a lot of tech that only a large company can produce. At the same time, it’s not really a product with a lot of future potential above and beyond what it does right now.

I had a similar experience but in Japan.

My CPAP machine was held by customs, they asked me to provide some extra paperwork from another department, which boiles down to a form and a "prescription". Fortunately they accept american prescriptions. I emailed all of the docs to the department, and they told me since I'm physically in Japan, I have to do what Japanese would do - send a physical mail in an envolope. A week later I got the approval mailed back to me, scanned them and emailed them back to the customs, they released my package.

Then, the shipper messed up with my address, they use a local partner for delivery, but failed to pass them my phone number and the second line in my address. Apparently the poor delivery guy attempted to deliver for a week, I found it out in the tracking page, called the customer service, they figured out and eventually have it delivered.

I thought it was terrible, but now.

Weirdly I was talking to a building surveyor recently about how there are new building insulation products coming out made out of cork[1] and some made out of mycelium (fungus)[2]. So instead of insulating your walls using something like polystyrene which is pretty gross to work with (produces a lot of nasty polystyrene dust when you sand it down etc) you can have a lovely natural product that is sustainable and also has similar thermal and (istr better) flame-retardant properties.

It's all about creating the appearance of wasted effort on the side of the taggers, possibly sprinkled with a little political nudging to stop highlighting that specific bit of failure.

I hate tagging done in places where people obviously care about the building the walls are part of, but in this case it's hard not to see this as a public service:

“Look at this hubris. Hard to ignore now isn't it? A huge newly built tower abandoned for all intents and purposes. It's a waste of space, money, and it raises questions about sustainability and fairness.”
Exactly! Somehow no one puts this against Go or a myriad of other languages where you are expected to use bindings to Qt or Gtk and yet for C# it's suddenly "akchually no support for Linux in MAUI, therefore it is second-class citizen". There are Avalonia, Uno and many other small-ish frameworks which support Linux, there are Qt and Gtk bindings, or you could go the MonoGame, Unity or Godot route instead.

Beats me how this kind of thinking works, always excuses instead of evaluating the technology on its merits and the experience it offers. Sometimes I feel like it's the community that actually hinders the transition towards more decentralized FOSS-style ecosystem (on this website it is more likely to be simply bad faith arguments).

Just one toolchain to install in order to compile to the native CPU, using any glibc version, to other architectures, and, for WebAssembly, to any variant (emscripten, freestanding, WASI). Zig a very common way to compile C/C++ code to WASI and the only one that can optimize it for a given runtime.

Same, consistent tools and versions everywhere. No need to have 10 different LLVM copies on your system.

Plus, the toolchain already includes a build system, a package manager, a cache, a way to run tests, etc.
