Sounds like an implementation issue. Android users have to jump through a number of hoops before they can enable sideloading, but the OS still allows it if the owner enables the feature. It's nicely tucked in as a "developer feature" that you don't need to pay for to activate.

Insurance is based on the coverage I purchase. Are you saying the insurance company is instead selling me an unlimited amount of liability based on the price of _other_ cars and not the $50k of coverage that I selected when I bought the policy?

How is that justified? $50k is $50k.

Unfortunately this confirms my fear. I think I’d want to throw an e-ink phone against a wall after a while from frustration with the lag.

E-ink screen refreshes are just far too slow for something interactive. That’s one of the reasons they work great on e-readers.

I wondered if they were doing something special or had a different kind of e-ink screen that was faster in trade for some other property but at least the one in your video doesn’t.
I had this in my Facebook memories, it is the anniversary of when the original video started to make its rounds.

> It looks like Flet is for client-side code.

For web you can package Flet app to client-side (with pyodide, all Python logic runs in the browser, see an example here: https://gallery.flet.dev/todo/) and run as a server-side app (or server-driven) with Python logic running on the server (example: https://flet-controls-gallery.fly.dev/layout - notice faster loading compared to client-side one).

> If I'm writing Python that runs on the mobile device, it must talk to a server to read & write data. Doesn't this still require an API backend, database, cache, etc?

That's correct. Any backend service which provides Python API can be used when running Flet app on a mobile: FastAPI, Firebase, Supabase, Pocketbase, etc, but you use Python to call that which is awesome especially for beginner and non-web developers.
Wikipedia seems to have a growing contingent of editors from countries like India, the Phillipines and Sri Lanka who edit topics that seemingly have little to do with those countries.

To establish their credentials, they get involved in arcane areas like Articles for Deletion or other areas that you’d expect would be of more interest to experienced editors.

Now everyone has the right to edit anything on Wikipedia, but it’s starting to feel like paid editors have gained a foothold.

If that's the case doesn't it still make sense to try and reduce debt? Due to unforeseen circumstances? Going by your metaphor we could say the possibility of the industry you work in becoming a lot less lucrative due to technological advances, or macroeconomic changes like jobs going overseas -- this isn't an abstract threat! It's happened before and will happen again!

> Liability insurance is based on other people’s cars.

This is what I dislike about insurance. If someone hits my (hypothetical) $100k car and ruins it, I win $100k, but if someone hits my $1k car, I only win $1k.

Yet the person that hit me did precisely the same action/error.

You raise an interesting question, but note that this article is about KPH, a radio telegraph station, not land-line telegraphy.

I don't know much about your actual question though.... I know that there were "repeaters" in the lines, basically a relay with a local battery, on longer lines. I know railroads had their own network of telegraph circuits between stations, with poles along the track right-of-way. I know that the first trans-Atlantic telegraph wires was what led to research into basic transmission line theory, since the first cables only allowed pitifully slow signalling and the reason why was not well understood.

If you look at old photographs of rail road right-of-way, you see 6 or 8 wires or more, so they obviously were running multiple telegraph circuits along the line.

In passing, I will note the trivia that land-line Morse (the original) and international radio-telegraph Morse is different in a few characters, because some of the character "clacks" become difficult to distinguish as "beeps" under noisy conditions.

You have successfully nerd-sniped me today, well played.
I kinda get the feeling there are a core of scientists who want to work on this stuff.

They'll work on it even if there is no hope of commercial fusion power, simply for academic kudos. Government's will fund it simply because there isn't much other blue skies physics research to fund.
Most of it is just in focus modes settings: alerts, notifications and things like that.

For greyscale you use shortcuts. There’s an automation tab, you set up on a focus mode being enabled then “set color filters on” and then the opposite for that focus mode being disabled.
Where is all of the Fediverse?
Labor market as well. Many large companies shell out for a salary survey of what other peer companies are paying for similar roles, and then set their wages based on that. That's price fixing. If it were a person calling around to all your competitors and saying "Hey, what are you paying for a senior SWE, we'll pay that too", it'd be illegal.
Just the greyscale needs a shortcut automation.

Isn't this why offsite backups are important?

Synology has Hyper Backup, and as you mentioned, there's also rclone.

I personally think the biggest benefit to keeping photos as simple files (and maintaining my own offsite backups) is that I'm never at the mercy of one of the SaaS's microservices being down, features being nerfed, or a company being restructured or acquired.

I do see the "peace of mind" that an automatic photo hosting/backup service gives. :) Well, one could always use them all (maintaining file backups and paying for a service like Ente) for real user-side redundancy and convenience.

Ya, I haven't dug too deep into their project, to be honest. But we do think it's great more teams are going for open source.

I tried to look up their RAG pipeline to see if they've invested effort into building a strong retrieval. It looks like they have a more basic vector only search, not sure if it's running local models or using a cloud service. On the flip side, it looks like they have assistants that can take actions (which we don't do), so maybe that's their focus.

I can only speculate as I've never spoken with their team but I imagine they're working closely with a few specific teams judging based on their number of connectors. Most likely it was built for specific customers. We are leaning more into the open source and working with our community and letting people self-host easily to find value with no friction.
Using those definitions there are really no type 1 sites except maybe 4chan, which itself even lightly moderates. All the other sites you mention heavily moderate and most of them automate that moderation.

You really can’t have a site that’s a free-for-all because of spammers, griefers, racists, and other various forms of jerks.
Insurance is not a punitive fine or lottery. If someone drives into your house and causes $100k in damage, you would also get $100k (assuming the minimum legal coverage is that high, which it might very well not be in many or even all states).

I specifically recall New Jersey letting poorer people drive “insured” by letting them purchase insurance for effectively fender benders, and if they caused more damage, good luck pursuing them.
This only matters on HN if there's been previous discussion. Lots of stories get posted many times before (if ever) they get any traction.
Of course you can legislate costs from one person to another. You can redistribute the profits from landlords to tenants.

It will have consequences. Some of those consequences might be negative.

But some won’t. It’s a policy choice, economists aren’t priests.

The context of this thread is lossless webp, there aren't any compression artifacts to deal with.

Go try the math out, the theoretical is higher than 9 bits but 8.5-9 bit equivalent is very achievable in practice. With two lossless 8 bit sources this is absolutely adequate for current displays, especially since again you're not wasting bits on things like PQ's absurd range.

Will this be added to webp? Probably not, it seems like a dead format regardless. But 8 bit isn't the death knell for HDR support as is otherwise believed.

> But how is what Amazon doing any different than what the corner store does when it raises and lowers gas prices based on competition?

The FTC put out a blog post going into more detail about their complaints, which go beyond price adjustment to match competitors: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/09/.... Their full complaint is at https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/1910134amazonec...

In particular, the FTC is interested in Amazon's pricing requirements which prohibit sellers from offering products at lower prices through other storefronts, its bundling of services like Prime which require sellers to buy unwanted fulfillment services in order to obtain unrelated placements in the Amazon store (and force Prime users to essentially pay twice for shipping if they order products outside of Amazon), and its privileging of discoverability for Amazon's own products and for paid advertisements over products that the FTC alleges Amazon knew were higher quality and better rated than the results it surfaced to customers.

The FTC's complaint describes this as a self-reinforcing feedback loop:

> Because Amazon suppresses meaningful competition on price and product
selection, shoppers lack viable alternatives, further forcing sellers to submit to Amazon’s
exclusionary tactics to reach those customers, and further allowing Amazon to accelerate and
expand its dominance. Together, Amazon’s conduct blocks off competition, shopper traffic, and
seller business in the interrelated relevant markets.

In other words, the more that sellers become dependent on Amazon, the more that shoppers become dependent on Amazon since goods and services are not available on other storefronts. This in turn makes sellers more reliant on Amazon since buyers become even harder to find off-site. Which in turn makes sellers more reliant on Amazon, and on and on.

This has the effect of killing off 3rd-party storefronts since they are faced with a chicken-and-egg problem of trying to attract both sellers and buyers at the same time, and neither group can move off of Amazon individually without suffering financial penalties or losing product placement.

shiny is nice for one-off data dashboards and single-purpose mini-apps. I see the python equivalents are like dash/plotly. Shiny is not a full fledged web framework, and isn't a viable replacement for e.g. Django.

Aside -- we tried using dash in our production app and then had to remove it after a month, because these types of frameworks that spit out front-end code are almost never flexible enough to do what you actually need to do in a full app context, and you end up doing more work to fight the framework versus the time-savings from the initial prototype.
I've noticed being a good developer pigeon holes you into the "builder" role and people have a hard time seeing you as anything else. You'll always be the code monkey, not an entrepreneur, creator with a vision, etc.

Not necessarily a bad thing, but it sucks if you're trying to climb the ladder into a more important role (such as an executive role, etc).
Nope. Supply and demand will never be smooth and linear, housing markets will always be intrinsically inelastic. Ever tried moving?

Since that’s true you can use policy to decide who gets to keep the inevitable consumer surplus.

It's sad that you describe the AA as an insurance company - you're not wrong, but that throws the contrast between today's AA and its venerable past into sharp relief.

It functions as one, regardless of intentions.

It depends on the particular subtopics it covers. Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective is from 2012 and it's still a great resource, although Murphy's newer book will certainly cover more up-to-date material.

But based on the post, this really seems to not be the case?

I don't understand how you came to that conclusion. From the post:

an agreement to use shared pricing recommendations, lists, calculations, or algorithms can still be unlawful even where co-conspirators retain some pricing discretion or cheat on the agreement.

Also from the post:

The agencies filed a joint legal brief explaining...

From that legal brief (emphasis mine):

... when competitors *agree to fix* end prices, ... *the agreement* is the violation, and unsuccessful price-fixing schemes are as unlawful as successful ones.

Another commenter asked how this is different from car dealers using the KBB values. If a deal uses KBB values to inform themselves of the approximate value of a car, before deciding their opening bid/offer in a negotiation, that's fine. If they agree with a neighbouring dealer that they'll always start their negotiation with the KBB price, this is illegal price fixing. From the brief:

In Plymouth Dealers’ Association, 279 F.2d 128, for instance, a defendant convicted of price fixing for agreeing with competing dealers on a “fixed uniform list price” for Plymouth cars argued that the conviction could not be upheld because the government’s case required “proof of something more—that [the uniform list price] was adhered to; that it was utilized to fix prices; or that it did actually fix prices.” Id. at 130. The Ninth Circuit rejected this argument, stating that “the fact that the dealers used the fixed uniform list price in most instances only as a starting point[] is of no consequence.”

Pages 23-24 (PageID #6982 and PageID #6983) of the PDF explain how the collusion was orchestrated: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/YardiSOI-filed%...
I work in insurance. Most states have a Department of Insurance who approves price changes. Insurance prices are calculated using simple features, such as "If car is from year 2016, then multiply price by x"

However, the numbers are not publicized because they don't want competitors to have that info.

Another fun fact, a lot of people wonder, "Why doesn't an AI startup just disrupt the insurance industry?" It's because the Departments of Insurance have to understand the price formulas. Neural networks are infamously hard to interpret, so we would have to reform regulations before we can use neural nets.

I lived in a building that was owned by a hedge fund and used algorithmic pricing. It was frustrating to know the vacancy rate in the building, how desperate the sales people were for residents, and still be told that rent was going up hundreds of dollars a month because of demand in the region.

Another thing they did was to offer lower rent if you moved into a unit that was vacant. They ”incentivized” people to move every year instead of just increasing the rent a reasonable amount. I’m talking rent going up $500-$1,000/month unless you moved into the identical unit next door. Most of the people in the build paid the increases but we were young so we moved.

Our first year we lived in a small 1br. When the lease came up they wanted to increase our rent by $600/month. We opted to move into a huge 2br with limited light that had been vacant for a year or two. When our lease on that one came up they wanted to more than double our rent because there was such high demand for the unit.

We were the demand.
