Obvious answer you missed: The people selling the fossil fuels it replaces.

It's a direct financial threat to them. They've been behind decades of known propaganda. They have deep links to Republican political movements across the US.
They didn't have to develop their own language. It's part of the lock in.

Except that HN does not subsist off of non-volition* fnding towards subject matters which don’t benefit human life. And the ones that purportedly do are so off, we have the evidence of the genetic regression to the mean in the randomly sampled scientists heredity vis-a-vis independence in free will power, I.e. they come from peasants and slaves and lack original insight such as perceiving the world entirely electromagnetically.

The lack of training social scientists in cell life for a bachelors, or the biological sciences in electrical signaling, or the physical scientists in their necessary inferior perspective of natural changes because of measurement imperfections by their instruments and their body’s senses, is all telling for a community which has been avoiding the successes of electrical engineering for over a century, likely because they don’t want to do that math ;)
I can't direct you to a reference. Most of what I wrote is based on two things:

1) My own experiments.

You can monitor PM2.5 levels accurately with a PMS5003 ($40 on Adafruit) plugged into an ESP32 ($10 on Adafruit) and ESPHome + Home Assistant, or you can splurge and get a full suite of sensors (<$100). That's what I did because it's fun and educational. Expect to spend a few hours setting it up. It's well-documented, but it's not quite plug-and-play. Friday evening will likely suffice, but it might be a full weekend if you run into problems.

Heck, if you want to monitor pressure drop across your filter, you can get a pair of pressure sensors ($7 each, or $20 for a fancier multisensor like a BME688).

Or you can get an Apollo Air or an AirGradient for <$200. Or you can get something from a company like Ambient Weather for easy and fully integrated.

Don't go for cheap on Aliexpress / Amazon / eBay, though, since many of these are fakes.

Monitoring PM2.5 levels in my room, I would see a drop in filtration if I needed to replace a filter due to filtration issues. Fans also get louder when they're overloaded. That's a good sign I need to vacuum something. You could do acoustic monitoring too, if you were fancy :)

2) Basic theory.

A good book on -- of all things -- acoustics will show you how to model air pressure as voltage, something like a filter as a resistor, and a fan as a source. That gives good intuition for how filters stack.

3) Reading web forums, where others did similar. That matches what I see and theory.

From that:

The best design I see (e.g. a Coway AirMega 200) has three layers:

- Washable prefilter

- Carbon filter

- HEPA filter

Just using it, I see most of the stuff caught by the prefilter, followed by carbon, followed by HEPA. It's visible. I see the same thing on things I've built (e.g. box fan + high MERV + super-cheap filter duct-taped together in my basement), and in things like vacuum cleaners.

So there you have it. My comments were based on my intuition backed up by my measurements at my house. Your mileage may vary. I can well imagine these things being different in a rural home with all sorts of pollens versus a city home with pollution from cars.

The washable prefilter is very thin. A sheet would fit without modification. But if it were me, I'd modify and use a full stack, because it's fun to make things :)

> You are describing moral outrage.

That's simply a fancy label for a particular kind of anger, as one might be able to tell from the literal definition of outrage: an extremely strong reaction of anger, shock, or indignation.

In my opinion there are few things quite as pathetic as people who twist themselves into pretzels to avoid acknowledging their emotions for what they are. Certain emotions are "bad" (anger, jealousy, etc), and so instead of addressing it when they feel those things, they just convince themselves that they aren't actually feeling them at all and that their reactions are driven by some higher logic or nobler emotion - all while still inflicting their emotional fallout on those around them.

You should probably learn what an ETF is…it’s one of the most basic investment vehicles that will grow your savings reliably over the years, and most people put their 401ks (or equivalent) into them, so yes a ton of normal people know what it is.

The SEC enforces regulation (or it’s supposed to at least) around securities passed by congress.

The real question here is if you don’t even know a basic finance term like ETF, why are you trying to talk down to my statement and crypto when you clearly have no knowledge of the sector? It’s just ignorant

>It is such stupidity, being to lazy to pack a bag, that humanity wastes resources on.

It's spending resources for convenience. It's not fundamentally different than buying coffee at starbucks (therefore necessitating a plastic lined paper cup).
The way I read this article it's an old guard of elite trying to warn you about the new guard of elite. The Guardian is bitter that real news does now flow through mainstream publications like theirs anymore, and they and their ilk are relegated to publishing sponsored opinion pieces. And then they accuse Facebook of the same, but at least on Facebook you can still find a variety of different sponsored opinions instead of just one.

At the end of the day, it's almost tautological that you wouldn't want to have any elite at all determining the future, because they won't have your best interests in mind. Duh! But I don't think that is possible, at least not with the current maturity of our social institutions. And as max_ said, these "tech bros" are the only ones with a vision and building something.
FWIW, "never say never" but I don't think I'll ever opt into being represented by a Pixar-like avatar.

If you believe I'm not alone, then by default you're alienating all of us if that is our only choice. The question then is whether my repulsion to being a memoji is greater than someone's repulsion to being an uncanny valley avatar.

I think the latter can be iteratively improved until people no longer find it uncanny—indeed I'd argue the latest research pieces from Meta AI that have been posted here on HN do seem to point that way

I don't think cartoon avatars can be improved to become palatable enough to those who dislike them

I couldn't comment on the biological aspect, to be honest. What I can say is that cork bark, compared to other trees, grows extremely thick, porous, wet and flexible. I've never seen anything like this process done to another tree species.

It's also worth it to say that young trees need to be de-corked once (when they're around 20 years old) before they'll produce useable cork. It grows much smoother after this first peel, which looks a lot more like normal bark (just much thicker).

The world is swinging back to natural materials, for better or worse. I'm biased of course but in this case I'm a fan purely because the physical properties are so good and there's so much space to make it more economical to consumers.
I think you meant Google's and Apple's incentives to make them (PWAs) worse...
That was one of my first computer programs: compute a 'perfect' Yagi for a given frequency. Of course it will never be perfect because you will use tubes with a non-zero diameter and there will be something to carry the reflectors on and so on but it's amazing how close you can get if you cut and space precisely.
A 2 of 3 key authorization would have gone a long way to preventing this.
I was an Apple user and even fanboy for many years. I left because they ignored macOS and then started making it iOS like. I have far less issues on Windows than I do on macOS.

Apple sucks dealing with anything that doesn't have their name on it. External monitors have terrible support because Apple refuses to implement a specific protocol making that nice, like everyone else does. You basically have to use Apple's monitors or their overpriced officially supported LG monitors they sell in the Apple Store if you want an integrated monitor experience. Several other issues with Apple exist with peripherals. I have to make special router settings in my home because my partner's work Macbook can't switch between the mesh network. My partner also had to get IT to give her admin access so that she could rename iTunes because it was the only reliable way to keep iTunes from opening every time her non-Apple Bluetooth headphones connected. Search about what it takes to rename an app like iTunes. It is literally insane.

Reading this reminded me of two recent experiences I've had with Apple products, myself being solely a Windows and Linux user my whole life.

1. Friend gave me his old iPhone. I'm already happy with my current Android phone, so decided I would turn into a Retro emulation machine. I went to install Retroarch only to find that the steps for installing Retroarch on iOS is convoluted, doesn't allow auto update of cores, must be sideloaded with AltStore unless you have a jail broken phone, and apps installed with AltStore expire after 7 days if you don't pay $100/year to Apple for a developer account. I gave up and the phone is collecting dust in a drawer now.

2. Mom has an iPhone with 512GB storage that she filled with photos and videos. She's not keen on the iCloud pricing. No worries, I'll just back up her photos on her 2TB laptop I bought her a while back. Simple right? Just transferring files from one device to another just 2 inches away with a USB cord. Nope. iPhone won't give me access to those photos from her PC because it's Windows. Let me try the Windows photo backup tool... failed, crashes, and iPhone disconnects. OK someone told me I can backup photos using iTunes, lets get that started. Oh wait, Apple encrypts the files in some proprietary format when I back them up. Let me just use what iCloud storage she has, back them up in batches and... oh she has the free tier, 5GB. That will take ages and its damn ridiculous that I have to rely on a cloud middleman to transfer files to a device sitting literally next to the iPhone. OK my last resort, I'll install Syncthing... oh... no Syncthing for iOS.

What ended up working was a $5 app on the AppStore called Moebius that is just a wrapper around an outdated Syncthing. The most frustrating experience were the amount of people online whose solutions were "just pay for iCloud bro!” The entire reason I'm doing this is to NOT do that.

Anyway, after those two experiences, I swore off Apple products. Not for me, and apparently not for normal people like my mom either.
Was a glass front necessary?
why would you cite a "study" that's commissioned by an industry trade group where their entire purpose for existing and for which they are paid millions of dollars is to ensure that plastic bags are not banned?

> Google has a bug. I have dynamic light/dark mode, and if I search on Google at night, the first page shows up in light mode. [...] In the morning, my laptop automatically switches back to light mode. [...] The people like me who use alternate search engines like DDG have already moved on years ago. The rest of the (overwhelming) majority is stuck with Google.

You don't move from Google for this bug because there's an easy workaround: F5 (aka refresh the page)

> There are ways to eliminate majority of those issues in cpp as well, but people simply don't care.

If its that easy, why do Google, Apple, Microsoft and basically everyone else keep making memory safety related bugs? Are they all just idiots? Do you think they just don't care about security? Carmack found C++ static analysis tools found mountains of latent bugs in the quake source code - despite the game running great.

Personally I find it a very arrogant statement to claim that memory safety in C++ is easy. If google finds it hard, despite throwing millions each year into the problem, I'm of a mind to believe them.
I have 3 Whole Foods reusable bags I’ve been using for over 15 years. I just don’t believe people are using these only 3 times and throwing them away.
Years ago I decided to delve into learning Swift and native iOS development. I simply could not get accustomed to using XCode. The UI/UX of XCode is atrocious in a way that I’m struggling to articulate. I found myself constantly opening and closing panels just to click on icons that weren’t intuitively grouped together. To open one panel would forcefully minimize the other. It’s like a tenth of my time was dedicated towards “panel jockeying”.

I got the sense that Apple’s designers wanted to make an IDE that was visually pretty and minimalistic, not one that was low-friction for the developers. But IDE’s aren’t supposed to be minimalistic, they should be allowed to be as customizable and cluttered as each individual developer would like, according to the needs of what they trying to build.

Imagine a physical garage workstation. Whereas Visual Studio would let me make my workspace as cluttered and customizable as I would want, Apple would insist that I put each tool back in the box before grabbing the next one. This is what I mean about panel jockeying.

I’m curious if other developers feel the same way, of if my analogy makes sense.
So tired of junk apps cluttering up my phone and tablet. Examples: There's a parking station near me that has an app, the library photocopier has an app. Could all be done on the web.
That’s not Joe CPA’s problem, though, beyond verifying that the men in black have valid government ID. If the FBI raids your office, you’re not the one in trouble for it.

Let’s not ascribe too much power to those, either: NSLs can compel release of certain types of information but they can’t force you to do things like transfer money or even disclose the contents of private messages.
Hi! I'll leave it here in case someone else would like to take me up on it: my username on google's email service.
Native stack is tailored for native devices, using web for that is just not as reliable/maintainable/cost efficient in my opinion. Sure, you can have less devs to support both platforms, but as soon as you need some hardware functionalities, you're not gonna have much of an options, besides what web tech libs you have in the store.
Really? Why? I have a bunch of thick Sainsburys bags that I bought probably 5 years ago and I still use them for shopping every week - they will have been used probably 200 times each, easy. No idea why I'd throw them out.
That's a small step on that particular challenge. The difficulty factor must be many orders of magnitude higher. I'd try optical before I'd go for radio waves, a nice laser might be easier to detect at those distances because the signal doesn't spread nearly as much. Of course your aim would have to be correspondingly better as well.

Ignore people who write about finding the perfect stack. The perfect stack does not exist and it is not requisite for shipping great software that real users value.

Much of web development consists of knowing the browser well, and web.dev is a great resource for that. Beyond that just go and learn React + TypeScript, the new react.dev is great. While React is not perfect it’s such a good paradigm for creating UI that even Apple copied it when they created SwiftUI. Grab yourself Vite and get coding.

The number one thing that I would recommend is to really go and study those resources. Start from page one of the docs and work your way through. There’s not much that you’re going to learn in a few days though, frontend work is hard for a good reason.
If you make something that lives on the web and doesn’t support all platforms, please consider showing the unsupported platforms a screenshot or video.
Impossible to play with touch pad.
The $100 developer fee is very annoying, but understand it's there to add a small barrier to entry. It makes people think twice about whether they really want to launch an app on the app store and therefore stops many users from publishing junk apps.

I can't even trial your product without signing up for a $19/mo subscription? That's not going to happen. Especially when your product doesn't seem like much more than a UI frontend for what I can do with MSPaint and free tools in just about the same amount of time.
Yup. The "stairs" of a 45° angle just looked visually smoother than an up-2-over-1 line which looked a bit jaggier. Not an earth-shattering difference, but a difference nonetheless.
Feel free! My email is my username on google. Always happy to hang out.
Apple's entire stock in trade is "computing as it should be". Their stuff is the coolest platform ever to exist, which means that developing for their gear is like getting into Studio 54: only the hottest and coolest are allowed in, permitting anything less would tarnish the club's reputation. Which sucks for most devs but it's part of being the coolest.

Microsoft just wants to dominate. They don't care if the UX is garbage, as long as the user doesn't have a choice.
What is common sense?
Frankly, I'm still very much trying to figure out viable and efficient marketing strategies myself. A large portion of my current users have come from somewhat viral posts/comments on HN, reddit and other investing forums. I also have social media accounts with automated model performance updates and free signals, but I don't have a ton of followers.

I've tried blogging and that's hit some decent results, particularly some of my technical blogs directly related to building algorithmic trading systems, but blogging is very time consuming, so I'm unsure the $/hour really pays off in such a niche space. I even wrote a book on the topic, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9SB2LDG, but also that was a lot of work that I'm not sure was worth it.

So, best of luck! Marketing a very niche product/service is way harder than I originally anticipated. I'm now brainstorming how to pivot marketing towards a more mainstream audience. Really the market for investing with alpha and generating higher long term returns than the market should appeal to just about anyone with a disposable income, but building a level of trust and understanding is key.
This might be because the US video news you likely encountered was Cable News ( CNN, Fox , MSNBC ), which evolved under a different legal tradition than US printed news or US over-the-air broadcast radio and TV news. Sort of like how facebook/twitter have evolved under Section 230 of the DMCA rather than under the legal limitations of traditional broadcasters or publishers.
