> I’m going to get a lot of emails from confused users wondering why their app is broken, now opening in a regular browser window.

Newsflash incoming for you.. Just about none of your users will (1) care (2) used the "PWA" in the first place.

It's really not that common to add apps to the home screen. Among very technical users, it's a fair bit more common though.
Inconceivable!

It is an excuse for temporary suspensions which happen all the time and are then restored.

It’s probably impossible to do mass moderation any other way.
> In particular, once you start writing your own patents (or having counsel write and you approve) then you'll have to answer questions about prior art, if anything is even close.

Yes. I have found that pursuing patents is an enormous time-suck; it is a complete distraction from actually inventing things, and should be regarded as a major risk to your productivity.
> Trading with someone when you have knowledge they don't is not "theft" in the general sense of the word.

It’s not theft, it’s fraud which is also illegal.

If I sell you a gold necklace I know is fake and worthless, that’s fraud.

If I run an antique appraisal business and you bring me an antique to value for you, I know it’s priceless but tell you it’s a knockoff and buy it from you for pennies on the dollar, that’s fraud.
Probably the most likely answer. But I would also assume that X has some safe-guards for this, when it comes to popular/trending accounts.

No doubt it is just a temp suspension until some human has looked at the case, but still - this came JUST after she had a public speech, and is talking against the Russian regime.
FWIW, on the server auction, you could get GPU servers since a while:

Looks like currently there are only GTX 1080s on the server auction, I don't know if they normally have other GPUs available as well.
Nice work and thanks for sharing, it's a good source of inspiration for similarly antiquated government web sites.

They don’t need to use a different browser engine.

You’re talking about a user who has gone out of their way through multiple scary Apple warnings to change their browser engine.

And even once they do that, they’re likely to be installing one of Firefox, Chrome, or Edge, all of which have as good if not better security histories than Safari.

Ask HN: Dark Pattern: Google Workspace doesn't let to select a cheaper plan
I want to open a business Google Workspace[1] account for my domain. But it only let me sign up for the expensive "recommended plan" of €20.70/user/month, and there is no option to choose another plan.

I have another domain where I pay €5/user/month.

Does anyone here know, will it be possible to downgrade to a cheaper plan in the future?

If you have "Business Standard" plans or higher, can you check on the Google Workspace billing/subscriptions page, is it possible to downgrade to the "Business Starter" plan?

Also, I can't remove this domain from the admin page, and know that the only option I have left is to enter credit card information and agree to this price (with a 14 day free trial). I can cancel after that, but I'm afraid they will never let me sign up for the "Business Starter" program for that particular domain name.

I can't even enter a promo code now.

Other email providers are not an option, as I need Googe Docs/Sheets for collaboration.

Note to self: when dealing with Google always test the waters with the less important domains first.

Thanks!

So when you sign up for Apple Arcade, which strangely you dont use? Why sign up for it? But then it's okay that you need to have your iPad to signup, but when you want to cancel it is strange that you need your iPad.

I understand it would be nice if you can login to a website and cancel, but reads as if you make your mistake of not taken your iPad, or cancelling in time a fault of others.

so much for buying the platform to allow for free speech.
This is probably a bit of a nothing story. It's an easy tactic for companies like twitter to minimize their workload simply by saying "Hey, for an average account, if it gets a tonne of reports, we just auto-suspend it". Is this open to abuse? Sure. Will it get worked out after a day or two? Probably. These social networks are full of hacks like these to try to reduce the user:moderator ratio to below 1:1.
Not really, and you would be surprised that you feel more of a lightness, clarity and not miserable.
It's the same for running, it's hard, but you don't feel miserable when doing it.
It's insane that "changed their firmware on my tv" is even something that can happen. I'd like to buy a TV and know it will work the same in two decades as it does today.

Personally, I don't own any TV, since I use my monitors. But it does beg the question of why monitors don't have these kinds of issues. Why are companies happy to sell me a "dumb" monitor, but won't sell me a TV unless it includes a bunch of fragile "smart" features?

The trend of coupling the TV to the computer (as opposed to using something like Chromecast) is the primary driver of the enshittification of the TV market. And this shouldn't be surprising - just look at what happened when the auto industry tried to invent and maintain their own entertainment systems. Ironically, they eventually came around to decoupling and delegating that work to Apple and Google, whereas TVs had it right at first and then made it worse.

I understand the business reasons why TV manufacturers want to own the computer part of their TV too. But it still doesn't have to be tightly coupled to the TV. If they really believed in their product, they could sell a dumb TV along with a dongle that competes with Chromecast. But if their product sucks and nobody would buy it, then they need to resort to forcing it on consumers as the default mode of operation.
This is a terrible argument:

> You can read Apple’s announcement on being forced to comply but as you do you so, I’d like you to remember one thing: every nightmare scenario they describe for the security of users in the EU is exactly what currently happens on Macs everywhere in the world.

There's 1.5 billion iPhone users vs 100 million Mac users, Apple believes that at least part of the reason for that difference is the security model of iOS. E.g., arguably the largest changes Apple has made to the Mac since introducing the iPhone is implementing security measures based on iOS.
The poster AzAl Security also commented "This was meant as a troll and not real."
For random web pages which have a PWA mode, sure. But there are bona-fide industry specific PWA "apps". The confusion will be real. Probably minor enough for Apple to barely register, but tell that to the users.

That's a technical detail. What he did was clearly wrong.
My '13 Audi has significant problems with the rain sensor. It turns on when it shouldn't, doesn't turn off when it should, and when I first start the car and it's already raining I have to turn the wipers off and on.

The best rain sensor I had was in my old Ford Mondeo '04.

Stoneland, Fullsterkur, and Levantadores are many people's introduction to stonelifting. They're wonderful documentaries. Martins Licis (2019 World's Strongest Man) also produces some great documentaries related to stonelifting and other obscure strength sports with "Strength Unknown" that I recommend to anyone interested.
I don’t understands why this would be such a security issue other browsers are sandboxed. PWA would just dispatch to the chosen browser with whatever parameters are passed along and it would be up to that browser to do the right thing. How would this be a security risk worse than the current existing setup with deep links?
Solar and wind are already cheaper than coal so it is in China's economic interests to put in more solar and wind so I personally don't think they need to lie about it. Now politicians in China fudging numbers that their cities or provinces have met targets is not out of question but economically adding more solar, wind and batteries makes more sense. I predict in 3-4 years China will start removing a lot of coal from its grid as cost of solar and batteries drop another 40-50%.

Recently I was looking how many electric vehicles China alone has added in the last 4-5 years and it hit me that had China not gone big on electric the world's oil consumption would be few million barrels per day more and the prices would be above $120+ per barrel.

>Eventually they’ll want to add some form of storage

There is no grid-scale battery technology to handle baseload for any meaningful duration. Worse, there is no grid-scale battery technology on the horizon either (you can define 'horizon' as the 'next few decades').
I think there are at least two major threads to this, both important:

(1) Is there meaningfully distinct and circumscribable medical condition that is diagnosable and merits its own name, and merits people being told they "have X", in the same way as they "have" a viral infection.

(2) If there is, then is the set of people in practice diagnosed with X in society anything close to the "correct" set of people under (1)?

(1) is controversial, and even if (1) is true, the answer to (2) is clearly "no". So even if you believe in (1) then in practice, as a phenomenon of our society, it is nonsense: a large proportion of those diagnosed believing incorrectly that they "have" a certain medical condition.

Another way of asking it is: clearly humans vary along cognitive/psychological dimensions. What exactly would make you say "Oh, there's a disease", rather than "Oh, there's variation"?

Are you at least in agreement that large areas of modern medical psychology / psychiatry are bullshit? Diagnosing people with "sex addiction" and stuff like that? Presumably you are. That makes it a bit easier to see how society can have slid into the mistake it's made with "ADHD" and "Dyslexia".
Maybe underestimated: looks more like 50 years than 500, is closer.

We’re not talking about 32-bit applications though. We’re talking about a 32-bit kernel.

The 64-bit FreeBSD kernel is perfectly capable of running 32-bit applications, and will be so for the foreseeable future. The only reason I can see to support a 32-bit kernel is to allow for
installation on hardware that is approaching decades of obsolescence, so again I ask, what is the point?

A huge portion of legit journos have sworn off Twitter. Entire networks have left Twitter. Most of the writers that I followed there are now found only on Bluesky.
This is a fallacy. Adding a network boundary does not make your application less complex. If you can't make a "monolith" make sense, thinking you can do it in a microservices architecture is hubris. If you think long-running transactions / multiple tables are difficult, try doing that in a distributed fashion.

Antitrust help is badly needed here. I recently tried to open a new Capital One card despite having two very old high spend accounts that are always paid off and got denied twice. I have zero debt and millions in assets. The first time I was denied it was some TransUnion thing. The second time it was basically random. There is no person to call and reopen your case, you just have to start over from scratch and hope you mysteriously float through.

Ask HN: Do you think the use of low-level languages can decrease because of AI?
I am primarily referring to writing low-level code in order to speed up the execution of a program written in a high-level programming language.

We can consider a high-level program to be a detailed specification, especially when compared to pseudocode. Wouldn't it be possible for an AI in the near future to generate low-level code in order to speed up parts of the high-level program (hot path) ?

Even if the AI makes mistakes we can envision an automated system that continuously compares the behavior of the two versions of the code. Such a system would give feedback to the AI.

Only manual outreach. It was a high-ticket, high-touch sales process. Few prospects, high effort dedicated to each sale.

For low- or mid-ticket products where a landing page is suitable to collect leads, commenting on other people's posts can attract a lot of attention.

But don't market in the comments. It's too obvious and will be flagged as spam.

Use the profile sub-title (what shows up below your name) to write something that will entice your audience to click and view your profile. When people view your comment, they'll also view this statement.

In your bio description, write about the pain you're solving. Invite people to visit a web page, read a post you published before, send you a direct message, whatever.

Connecting with your target audience is also good. Just send an invitation saying you work on the same field and you'd like to stay in touch, whatever.

Individual action can't solve problems effectively when the cost of changing behavior is too high when others don't follow immediately. Many public figures started their mastodon/bluesky/threads accounts but came back to Twitter when they didn't get following there.
I don't think banks borrow any money from the government, unless you're thinking of really convoluted things like the department of agriculture partially insuring equipment loans to farmers against default.

That's not borrowing from the gov. and it's not even most banks though.
>I think the person you’re responding to is talking about confounding factors _outside_ the brain scan, like when a model that could identify skin cancer used the presence of a ruler as its most weighted input

Well, those are just "bugs" and the results are then useless.

My point is that results taking into account only the scan (not random correlations with outside factors), would indeed be able to prove differences between M&F brains, without needing to also give a mechanism for it.
Sorry, this stupid trope is everywhere on HN. Unless there are solid OS-level ways to block nefarious PWAs this would turn the iPhone into the same toxic dumpster fire that IE was back in the day w.r.t. security. How many "browser tab bars" did people get fooled into clicking on and installing? I remember, and I remember moving my family off of Windows entirely and onto Mac and Linux for this exact reason. Or do you expect companies to forego all that sweet, sweet customer tracking revenue just because they promise they will?
None is the third-worst mistake in computer science, Maybe is the second-worst, the Result that can contain either a result or an exception is the worst.

I have debugged so much code that does the wrong thing with a Result (or other error handling). I will always remember the engineering manager who boasted about how we (1) did careful error handling with monads and (2) did code reviews. Oddly though I never got my code reviewed and I found so much code that silently dropped errors out of carelessness to believe there had never been code reviews. In my experience given a malfunctioning Scala class you can: (3) screw around with it for a few days or (4) write it in Java and have it working in an hour.

(A counter to this is that sometimes you do want to send a result-or-exception to some other part of the program that involves storing it somewhere and Result is really great for that… but please learn to get over any fear of exceptions you have and ignore the people who want to stigmatize them.)

Hi :-)

This is a problem worth tackling. It's too easy to remove stuff inadvertently without easy ways to recover.

I scanned your README, here are my hot takes:

- rm is still far simpler to use, and so will be used by virtue of laziness and habits instead of your tool. You want to fight back and come up with a solution against this very hard.

- delete vs remove is going to be a nightmare. Which one is for going to trash, and which one is to irremediably removing the file? I don't know why English even has the two words, and each tool uses one or the other without a clear pattern (though English is not my first language). Maybe "wrm trash" should trash the file, and "wrm remove" should remove them irremediably, like rm ("remove") does. "delete" could be an alias of "remove".

- irremediably removing the file should be harder to do and trashing them. So maybe "trash" should be the default behavior. If no option is given to "wrm", that's what will happen. "wrm" is still longer than "rm", but that's way less annoying than typing "wrm remove"

Maybe the answer is an alias, or even (god forbid) a shadowing of the rm command in interactive shell sessions, but you might be get hatred for this because people might not like this, at least if it's done without them agreeing. There could be a setup phase that invites people to setup the shadowing in their shell rc file.

Good luck and have fun with your project!

In what way does "moving towards microservices" relate to solving "data-integrity bugs"?

I would argue the opposite - the more distributed you make the system, the more subtle consistency bugs tend to creep in.
I would note that there's not much a leap from "this criterion makes sense as a tie-breaker" to "this criterion makes sense as a résumé filter when you have a very large number of applicants".
You should know what you're trying to do before you start programming, yes. (Unless you're exploring the options.) That could just be a task list, if it's a simple, well-known (to you) problem. If not, then you want more. You want a design, maybe even an architecture.

Don't code before thinking and planning. The bigger the program, the more time and detail in the thinking and planning before you start coding.

How would suddenly disallowing users to run a PWA that worked for years improve platform security? How would having Spotify be able to use their own subscription system compromise platform security?

Being able to install software without needing an OK from the hardware manufacturer has been standard for over 40 years now. People do it on Windows PCs, on Linux PCs, on MacBooks and on Android phones, and that very clearly has not caused the extinction of the dinosaurs yet :)

The document Apple has published to me reads like it's written by a 5 year old that just was served too many sweets shortly before bed time.

IMHO this is about revenge, not about platform security.
So, it's kind of the same as the claims RE Trump; what could the FSB _possibly_ have that would be more embarrassing than the things that they reveal about themselves?
