Then you can cycle there in ~20 minutes. The difference would be that cycling infrastructure is dirt cheap, bikes are dirt cheap, you can fit way more bikes on a path than cars, you get daily physical exercise - longer lifespan, emit trivial amounts of pollution and parking is a non-issue.

I always used Navigator/Communicator for free personally but a lot of companies (especially big companies) bought licences. I'm sure many companies did not pay for a license but there was more than enough that did to make Netscape a viable and growing business.

> The federal government should stop subsidizing pre-tax contributions to retirement savings accounts, two economists from opposing ideological camps argued in a research brief in January.

> Allowing people to shelter their retirement money from taxes is a policy that largely favors the well-heeled, they said. Congress could use that money, nearly $200 billion a year in lost tax dollars, to shore up the underfunded Social Security program.

People supporting these accounts will put forth "personal responsibility," but the evidence shows that most Americans can't afford to get exposure to the capital markets due to wage stagnation and whatnot, so it's theater vs a real solution. It works for the lucky ones, but most people aren't lucky. Good policy isn't built on luck.
That's a good point. I've merged the comments hither. Thanks!
Show HN: Translate foreign words and learn them as flashcards
I created this browser extension and mobile app to look up unfamiliar foreign words and learn them as flashcards on my mobile device.

There are multiple solutions to do that, but my itch was that all the solutions make it difficult to create a high-quality flashcard:
- nouns have to be saved as singulars
- verbs have to be saved as infinitives
- each word has to have a description

Works well (at least for the Dutch language). I have created around 900 cards, primarily good out of the box.

What do you guys think about it?

> Mozilla's browser development is funded almost entirely by Google. If Mozilla had stepped up to become a real competitor, Google would have shut off the money

That's been the trope for many years. I believed it in the past. I'm skeptical it's still the case. Mozilla made enough money over the years to risk leveraging some of Firefox's potential and buy its own independence. I'm also optimistic that Mozilla has always been uniquely qualified, with enough resources, know-how, and branding power to set up some of the ideas that I suggested, relatively quickly.

For instance, if even tomorrow they came out with a specialized Business Firefox offshoot, augmented to simplify the development of business web apps (e.g. it natively understands TypeScript and a few selected frameworks; it easily integrates with cloud providers and APIs; it simplifies dealing with the local file system and databases; basically a special browser tuned to understand modern front-end development), companies would pay attention. For devs, no need to start playing around with complicated tooling. The environment is the browser. I know I'd at least give it a try with no second thought. The trade-off to building apps quickly would be the need to install that Business Firefox. I think it's a decent trade-off.
You are comparing the SW, not the HW. Windows 10, by default, sucks on any HW. You can make it to behave a little but you need special tools and knowledge (Ooshutup10 and advanced power modes).

Yes but I'm talking more about the creepiness of the stalking of women, mass rape, personally torturing and killing for pleasure etc. It sounds a bit far-fetched. It may well be true but there was just so much history rewriting going on.

I know all the soviet leaders of that era were mass murderers but usually by delegation only.

Edit: I read up on it and it does indeed seem true. Wow..
I understand why the ICE throttle, but why the transmission ?

Regardless of which gear you're at, the control input from the driver should dictate the power output, and it is up to the control system to figure out the split based on current conditions like state of charge, setpoints etc.

Surely the likelihood of me being simulated and the likelihood of the world in which my simulation is running also itself being a simulation are equal, right?

That must be true. It doesn't make any sense that my reality is simulated but the reality in which my reality is being simulated cannot be a simulation.

If that is true, then the chances of me being in a simulation and that simulation itself being just one of an infinitely nested series of simulations are also equal. And this simulation can itself have infinite simulations and the simulation layer that is simulating my simulation can itself have infinite other simulations each one of which is an infinitely nested stack of simulations.

We may be so deep down in the simulation stack that each femtosecond of my time takes 10^10^10^10^10^10 quadrillion years to simulate several layers up in a universe with entirely different rules than our own.

If there is an infinite number of simulations each hosting an infinite number of simulation stacks then we aren't living in a simulation, that is just the nature of our existence-- it is reality.
> That said, I have fed thousands of lines of code into both of them and asked them to refactor it, and neither one of them made more than one error. All code otherwise compiled and worked first try.

I would be very interested to get a more detailed scope of what you did here. Feeding thousands of lines of code into GPT4 and getting a near perfect refactor does very much NOT sound like my experience, but it seems highly desirable.

I decided to set out and improve my listening skills. What I learned was that by becoming a better listener, you can improve your productivity, as well as your ability to influence, persuade, and negotiate. What’s more, it helps avoid conflict and misunderstandings. Conversations simply became easier and, above all else, far more enjoyable.
What if I would sacrifice a billion human lives to save my child? That's hardly the basis by which to decide which lives are valuable and which are valueless.
Checkpoint/Restore I feel is a bigger concept than just saving state. At the zeroth level it's a system that can correctly stop and serialize a running process (as criu https://github.com/checkpoint-restore/criu has shown is a huge pain in the ass to still not be perfect) in a way that can initiated from within the process itself.

The 1st level more-work-but-easier way to do this is to build or use a heavily constrained VM/language you run from within your main application that doesn't allow for most of the hard problems to even exist.

I can't find any ready-made tools to do this that I wouldn't consider an endeavor. Emacs has to be the most famous application to utilize dump/restore state but it's not exactly turnkey.
To be clear, I totally agree with you. I think the success of theme parks and merchandise has been covering up mediocre IP from Disney for a while, and that fact is dangerous to their future prospects.

However, trying to balance this critique with some fairness to their strategy, it is difficult to disambiguate "the strategy isn't working" from "the strategy is helping us float across some mediocre years until we chance upon the next Frozen". It's kind of like VC returns, where it's 10 "%" of their IP (Star Wars, Mickey, Frozen, Toy Story, Marvel, etc.) that drive 90% of their performance. 2023 was definitely a poor "vintage" for Disney IP.

That being said, Disney has rebounded from many spells of mediocrity, and their theme parks, merchandise, and old IP (now monetized through Disney+ as you say) have kept them afloat through those poor periods.

Most recently they've only been able to jump-start the IP engines through acquisition (Pixar 2006, Marvel in 2009). I'm not a Disney shareholder myself, but I agree that the IP tap seems to be running dry and that's very concerning. I don't think Epic Games has anywhere near the value ceiling that Marvel and Pixar did.
at least in north america, the public transit labour cartel will shut down any attempts to automate public transit; notably, the NYC MTA blocked subway one-person train operation with automatic train protection. It'll be a good day when private AV services force public transit to finally get costs under control (who am i kidding, they'll just tax AVs to shovel more money to the unions)
Is it really "fun"? That sounds like you're choosing to mix Tik-Tok and product advertising. I'm sure it's great for dopamine but... why would you choose to do that? Are you on the hunt for products that you aren't aware of yet? I genuinely cannot understand why someone would be interested in this.

First try: the person we interviewed ended up NOT being the person that the following week was assigned to work for us.

Second try: during the interview (voice only, shared screen for technical test, no video was allowed) we are pretty sure that someone else was feeding them the answers to our questions (probably chat) and was actually doing the test using the keyboard and mouse.

In my experience you almost entirely lose the human experience of sharing playlists, talking about new discoveries, getting together with people to listen to new music.

For each individual it is probably a better experience, but there is something lost still. I don't know if it's fair to lay blame for that on Apple though, it seems like that's where things are going anyway in some many dimensions of life.

“Why, exactly, are we rendered so uncomfortable by concentrating on things that matter — the things we thought we wanted to do with our lives — that we’d rather flee into distractions, which, by definition, are what we don’t want to be doing with our lives? When you try to focus on something you deem important, you’re forced to face your limits, an experience that feels especially uncomfortable precisely because the task at hand is one you value so much.”

Huh, it never occurred to me that you could download episodes on an Apple TV. What’s the use-case?

Funds That Have Destroyed the Most Wealth over the Past Decade
Depends. Sometimes turkey prices drop before thanksgiving, as the producers plan their growth cycles around expected thanksgiving demand, and use freezers to meet demand. For example, see the 2022 august peak in poult placement in: https://downloads.usda.library.cornell.edu/usda-esmis/files/...

and https://theconversation.com/why-does-the-price-of-turkeys-fa...

The products often become loss-leaders (or close to it) to draw people into stores, so perhaps the interesting thing here is that valentines roses have a different pricing pattern -- probably because, unlike turkey, they don't freeze well, so supply is much less elastic.

> If the word "push" is written on the glass door in mirror writing, it means that from the other side of the door, it should be pushed.

Making the process more inconvenient, even if just by having to stand up and walk over to the phone, can make a substantial difference.

e.g. anime and fiction, making it harder to

even any princess name would be better and
not lead to wrong associations."Coding like ro

2.Make a comparison table
to showcase differences Princess/C/C++/Zig/Rust/FreePascal
its hard to understand the selling point
compared to using plain Clang.

3.More examples of functions,objects, metaprogramming,
common algorithms to showcase something

I did not say anything about the police being justified in suppressing legal protest. I said they have the duty to investigate, if there is suspicion of radicalisation.

And about signs, in germany the economy ministre could not leave his ferry, because of aggressive protesters. I did not noticed a widespread condemnation of said action by the rest of the protestors. That alone justifies investigation.
I was on twitter during the whole "anti academia" movement in physics and there is a lot of craziness on both sides. You have everything from professors saying that anyone who quits academia wasn't smart enough to be in it, or that they have betrayed academia, to people who left for the industry who insist that all peoples' experiences in academia are terrible or even that anyone who stays is complicit in some kind of continuation of abuse.

I generally landed on the pro-academia side because the communities of people who had quit academia were a much worse eco chamber, often even pro capitalist and/or claiming that being an academic is also being a proletariat or some weird stuff. The worst part is that they spend a lot of time convincing other younger academics that they should quit, and portray having a job as some kind of beautiful and perfect time compared to academia. However, I don't blame anyone for quitting academia, or focussing their efforts elsewhere. Academia is ultimately a very conformist and social thing. You have to network and collaborate, you have to be buddies with a lot of gatekeepers, etc.

Job = do the thing and get paid for it, but you can't just go home at lunch because you want to put a wash on

Academia = do whatever you want, but that's also not enough, you have to beg for your salary even if you complete amazing work

Zizek's position is kind of the best of both worlds then, he makes enough money from his casual writing that he retains the freedom of academia while not having to suck up to anyone. That's probably why people don't like him
In practical terms, yes. Adjusted for inflation, a modern iPhone costs roughly the same as the ones in prior generations, except now you get a lot more bang for your buck with better battery life, improved camera, etc.
For your first point - it actually makes me happy that Google does not intentionally (illegally?) promote their own products over others in the app store. I assume their app is following the same algorithm as others to determine how it shows up on that list. Since it just launched, it makes sense it's not at the top. The ranking should improve.

For your second point - I also had the same error when I launched it. Closed it and tried again and it launched no problem.

Empirically, a lot of ideologies are a great vector for propagating an extreme agenda, from Nazism through conservantism to the Big Leap Forward through progressism and many others in the middle.
Wait, do Polish people not consider themselves part of the West?

Genuine question. I've met and worked with quite a few Poles since moving to the EU and my current takeaway is that it's in a really interesting fusion time between West, East, and some more mysterious third thing.
'76 is really early. I'd be curious about the circumstances. [Apparently a photo op at a military research base.] Ray Tomlinson at BBN was credited with sending the first email in 1971 and, other than a few chat messages, I wasn't sending email until a fair bit later.

National Archives say that Bill Clinton had a public-facing email address in 1993 and that was probably around the time that (some) normal people were starting to get addresses and sending email.
The POINT of calling it a "stand-up" was supposed to be that we STOOD up during the meeting in order to ensure that we wouldn't let the meeting run too long. 10 mins was a reasonable time for most team sizes when the idea was first created.
