If they don't want people to find their social media profiles, then they shouldn't have social media profiles.
One big problem with implementing new ideas like yours — and like many potential solutions to problems with current laws — is quite simply: how do we get from here to there without effectively screwing over all of the current players in the game? And if you are willing to screw them over, why should they trust that they will not get screwed by the new scheme at some point?

totally different. I wonder if its some kind of a/b testing.
It's only hypothetical if people are willing to fly on Boeing planes anyway. The current level of air travel isn't necessary, neither are airlines. Sure the industry would be trashed, but if that's because passengers lost faith in both Boeing and airlines willing to keep them in the air then there really isn't anyone else to blame.

Why should we assume that air travel can't be meaningfully reduced and that passengers can't possibly decide to drive or stay closer to home?
Well I’ve hosed my MacOS 9 machine trying to do this.

Note, it doesn’t work with Mac OS 9!

I was one of those who resisted. Now I won't not use tailwind if I have a choice. The best thing about it is I feel like I'm still writing vanilla CSS, just in a different way.
I have used xScope ever since it was released and was one of my must-have tool. In the last 5+ years, my need for design tools have reduced a lot. I subscribed to SetApp and PixelSnap is part of it. I just have it around for fun and a nostalgic feeling that I get out of doing “designs”.

If you already have xScope, it should serve the purpose pretty well and much more. PixelSnap is tad “modern” in a sense (I don’t know how to explain that one). If I remember correctly, xScope has other tools that should be handy for a dedicated designers.
That’s pretty cool logic. Not unlike the recent trope of killing democracy to save democracy.
Whose money are they spending though?
The extension ID is derived from a private key that the developer uploads with the first upload to the app store, and the ID will change if any subsequent uploads include a different key.pem in their zip file (but if there is no key.pem then the extension ID will remain the same).

the original owner might transfer the private key to the new owner. And since Google doesn't require each upload include the private key, then the new owner could push changes without even needing access to that key.

This isn't how PKI works. Is this really an accurate description of the way private keys are used for Chrome extensions? That you're supposed to provide the private key in a PEM file when you upload the extension?

The developer should be signing the extension/manifest with the private key and sharing the public key/including the public key in the upload. Updates should continue to be signed with the private key, and as long as the key doesn't change, the original public key from the original upload can be used to verify that the same private key was used to sign -- if the public key is included or not on subsequent uploads is immaterial. Yes, the developer could sell/share the private key with someone else, thereby allowing someone else to provide a legit, signed update, but that's the risk (to the user of the extension/message recipient) of the signer not keeping their private key private. Sharing the private key with Google, or anyone, undermines provenance of the extension. Sharing the private key with someone else wouldn't be detectable, because use of the private key to sign is the method by which the identity of the source is established.
Given Boeing's market share the move would be to stay home rather then complaining to gate agents or re-booking.

Elected officials will do almost nothing here. Any government led solution will take years and be heavily managed to ensure the stability of the airline industry, meaning the government will do very little as any meaningful change will cause economic and political damage.

The zoning law is put in place by the people who live in the zone.

I think exactly the same thing about the housing crisis in California. I put the whole thing in scare quotes and don't recognize it as a crisis at all.

Other than the outbidder/displacer aspect I acknowledged, the "crisis" is nothing other than a bunch of people want something they have no right to.

I think the larger umbrella state and federal governments rights over smaller local municipalities is (or should be) limited to things like, you can't say "here, we're ok with discrimination" or murder or slavery etc. This housing & zoning thing could obviously also be a major tool for discrimination, so you have to watch for that.

But being as full as they want and saying "we're flattered, but no thanks" to more is not automatically discrimination.

The outbidders are a problem, and I don't know what the answer is for that, but probably anything simple that sounds good is probably wrong.

There are still tons of PL/SQL developers, and a huge ecosystem that uses these things. Triggers were big at one time too.

You will be surprised how H1B 'specialised talent' developers are just people who have worked on these ancient technologies all life, are near impossible to replace so you are left with no options but to hire them.

Oracle is a whole different specialisation in itself and its tentacles go very deep and afar.

I'm not sure if Boeing would be considered a monopoly, Airbus also has a large market share. Why shouldn't consumers step in to avoid traveling if they don't consider it safe?

If it is safe enough to travel, we can all stop talking about Boeing and the news can let the story die.

At that point you're just describing another form of standardized testing. The whole point of a test like the SAT is to administer the same test so that results are comparable.
No such license can exist, if it did it wouldn't be open source.

Open Source, as defined by the Free Software Foundation or Open Source Initiative, requires the right to create a modified version of a piece of software and sell it. It doesn't matter if the modification is nothing.

A trademark on the name will require a reseller to rename it to avoid trademark infringement.

A patent on some part of it is a scummy way to do it, but that violates the spirit of open source.

Show HN: Kalim – A Simple Place to Write
I wanted to start writing. I thought that having a website to write on would help me to write. Later, I discovered that a website was not what I was missing really. hint: I was just procrastinating to avoid writing.

Anyway, this is how it turned out. While not perfect, I am proud of it.

Like all levels of government, they spend too much on things they don't need to, inevitably. Blaming too little or too much money when these organisation have many millions and sometimes billions available (certainly in the long term) is to miss the point entirely.

They waste what they have through poor implementation. That's the story here.
The modern ELF. Bash but instead of running executables and piping stdin and stdout your primitives are docker containers.
amen to this … i recommend thinking about your problem in terms of effective data structures and then apply even a very simple DSL to handle access and transformations … fwiw the built in Grammars and Slang support in raku https://docs.raku.org are fantastic tools for this job.
> Debt will need to increase faster than inflation to keep a level of buffer in the system.

Creating a buffer only needs to happen once. So if debt increased faster than inflation 30 years ago, and then on average kept pace since then, we'd still have the buffer. That kind of buffer is sustainable.
Shout out here for the youtube channel he mentions turned him onto the bob.

Mat/Techmoan has a perfectly eclectic mix of useful current generation hardware reviews (with his reviews skewed to things which Work Well, are well built and resilient vs fancy features) and nostalgic reviews of electronics (sometimes of things you never knew you should be nostalgic about!). I love his channels style as well, bit of funny, lots of facts, not too technically dense, lots of fun.

It's lowkey flabbargasting me that I can't do both. Like install the OS's on one disk/partition each, and VM whichever one I'm not currently booted into. It feels like something that should be possible in current year.

Both are worse than eating right. It's not a binary.
This doesn't make sense?

By definition, as long as there are more prospective renters than actual housing units available, prospective renters will compete with each other spontaneously by bidding up their offers. That's true everywhere.

That's just how competition and having multiple people submitting multiple offers work... the best offer is accepted.
Why should a failing organisation, that knew cuts were coming and still went ahead with this disastrous project (among many others) and broke the law (a law implemented by the same side of government) that consequently cost them a huge barrel of cash, be bailed out?

Let them fail, make cuts, make government smaller because it fails just like this again and again.
A few brands of dental floss do, although I think they all deny having PFAS in them, so I think the best speculative reason I've heard is that it's actually potentiality lubricants from the machines in manufacture getting onto it - which is just as bad, so those companies saying they don't put PFAS into their floss when there's detectably PFAS on it (and raised levels showing up in people who use it) is not a good defence...
Collectives are when people share equally in the work and the results.
There are always signs, and they are easy to rationalise in hind-sight.

The danger is that there are signs for lots of things, so jumping to conclusions regarding the reason can be dangerous.

For example, we recently got a contract with a company fanatical about security. They wanted additional special insurances, which in turn wanted additional company-wide security policies.

This affected everyone, even though the potential contract only affected 3 employees. (And there was an NDA regarding the possibility of a deal.) The policy changes (despite being good policy anyway) likely caused some anguish.

So by all means speculate away, staff love a good rumor, and in the absence of information will speculate anything and everything. But I caution against making big life choices based on that speculation.
> That doesn't mean they are using human shields

Being indistinguishable from civilians (blending in) is exactly using civilian as a shield -- the opponent can't identify you and can't kill everyone who looks like you

Arguably Israel does it with fairly low civilian: combatant death ratio
> It's like it's become the norm to default.

Even countries default. Such is the risk of giving money to someone else: they might not actually pay you back. Maybe these banks should think thrice before extending lines of credit to people.

But they want to efficiently allocate the funds, don't they? Let them reap the consequences of their own decisions.
While I understand the risks (extinction among them) I also think these discussions ignore the fact that some kind of utopian, starfaring civilization is equally within reach if you accept the premise that takeoff is so risky. Personally, I’m very worried about the possibility of stagnation arising from our caution, because we don’t live in a very nice world with very nice lives. Humans suffer and scrape by only to die after a few decades. If we have a, say, 5% chance of going extinct or suffering some other horrible outcome, and a 95% chance of the utopia, I don’t mind us gambling to try to achieve better lives. To be fair, we dont even have the capacity to guess at the odds yet, which we probably need to have an idea of before we build an agi.
++ that gradual types are included … Rust does an awesome job of the contract you want with your compiler is enforce types strongly for maximum safety, but this is not always the appropriate trade off for small projects … i prefer a language with a sliding scale where i can grow a codebase and be more strict if and when it becomes more mission critical (gradual typing is the answer for this imo and is well done in eg rakulang)
> 4 of those 5 countries have significant welfare programs

Welfare does not correspond with prosperity. It's hard to see how paying people to not work contributes to prosperity.
I don't know if English is your first language or not. The use of a condescending tone here seems inappropriate and totally lacking justification or nuance.
But what is the product they're selling?

The main Reka.AI page looks like a regular ChatGPT clone, an LLM you pay for by the token. How is this different from all these other companies? Pricing seems to be comparable to ChatGPT 3.5-Turbo.
There's essentially no chance of that—any linguistic connection would have happened in the last 2,000 years or so. Spoken language sans written record changes much too fast to preserve such semantics—and, to be clear, I don't think there's any evidence of a morphological feature being preserved that long without becoming mutually unintelligible literally anywhere. Even considering the last 2,000 years you'd have to explain how the language feature hopped over the Sámi (who speak a language much closer to Finnish than Norwegian or Greenlandic) to be established between two cultures with no archaeological or cultural evidence of contact.

Secondly, the semantics of the two suffixes appear to be different, with the Inuit term being a fairly abstract place term, and the Germanic prefix being specifically a geographic location suffix.
And not just batteries: the article states:

> Interestingly, both batteries and solar panels have seen their prices drop by about 90% since 2010, with both products currently experiencing accelerated price declines.
They can't not give credit to people. If they stop doing that, consumption grinds to a halt and thus the economy grinds to a halt. Governments the world over will literally forgive debts, bail out the banks, whatever it takes if the situation gets bad enough. They prefer that to just letting people deal with the consequences. I feel like a sucker paying all these bills. I'm not sociopathic enough to take advantage because that's not the way my father raised me. The feeling never goes away though.
I often stare into space (some have said it looks like a thousand-yard stare), I wonder if that would be an issue?

Thermal receipts are actually bisphenols, not PFAS ('forever chemicals') I think. Still bad but different kind of bad (endocrine disruptors). There does seem to be a big push to get rid of it in Europe (most receipts I have from France advertised themselves as being BPA free or phenol-free), so I don't know why it doesn't really seem to be of any concern elsewhere.
You can make your own rinse aid, just use a bit of citric acid (to chelate metal ions to soften the water), a dash of EDTA (also a chelator), and a mild surfactant.
HRW should be "tough" on any nation that violates people's human rights. That's their mission.

And it seems like they are. They're tough on Saudi Arabia too.
We actually do have material evidence connecting pre-age of discovery Siberia with Alaska via Aleutian trade and shared genetics, though, and the strength of the product of evidence is always stronger than a single hypothesis of connection in isolation. To my knowledge no such archeological or genetic link has been established between pre-Vinland saga Greenland and Iceland, let alone Norway.

(Hell, I'm not sure there's any genetic evidence of admixture between the expeditions of Erik the Red and Greenlanders despite clear cultural and material evidence of contact, though that's probably more of a testament to lack of continual trade than evidence it didn't occur at all.)
because fiat money is currently dying. have you not been paying attention? the West is in its death spiral.

Everything in politics is about delegating authority. The bureaucrats were indirectly elected by the bureaucrats we did elect who gave them their authority. It's also why citizens don't vote on laws themselves.

That was the second time I reduced my sugar. The first time, about 20 years ago I was on the "candida diet", which eliminates all sugar intake, and it's extremely strict. It's done to reduce/remove candida from the gut. I lost 60 pounds.

Reducing sugar isn't just about reducing calories. More sugar means more gut imbalance, and that can cause some serious problems. It's not always easy to connect the dots, and not many people really get to know or understand the messages their own bodies are sending them. And doctors DNGAF about nutrition or diet, not really at least - they just treat symptoms with pharmaceuticals but a real cure for some ailments means a serious change in eating habits, and one of the best changes to promote health is reducing sugar intake.
Really impressive! Amazing work, thank you for sharing :)
the simpler explanation is that speeding just isn’t as dangerous to pedestrians as distracted driving and sketchy intersections are, which certainly tracks with my experience as a pedestrian.

cars traveling in a straight line at any speed are pretty safe as long as they stop when they are supposed to.

edit: my second paragraph above is sort of stupid and makes the wrong point. my point, which i think is in line with this paper, is that it’s important to differentiate between “speeding” and “speed”. drivers are responsible for the former, DOTs are responsible for the latter, and the latter has more of an impact on pedestrian safety.
:wave: Hi. Thanks for taking a look. Yeah, lots of things to improve. What gets me about this script is the the if/else would read better as a case statement. Chalk it up to a small team spending a lot of time re-architecting part of a commercial product out so we could open source it. We wanted to develop in the open and that meant shipping something.

Patches welcome. I'm going to be taking a pass at this script and a powershell script tomorrow. We also want to eventually get past curl and into brew/winget but we wanted to balance that with getting something out the door.

If you like packaging and scripts and want to help out we've got https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona/issues/102 tracking this at the top level.
You can always tell when developers and computer scientists try to "fix" computational physics, sigh. It looks "easy" when you have a helper method/call for common things like 1/r^2 or something like that but what about when you want something more tedious than that? I don't see how the example is better than a python script/fortran code with a bunch of arrays. Like the three body example, a script with arrays would be much simpler and take less boilerplate than a lot of what they had there, and adding the third body is a simple as making N=2 instead of N=3. The usual argument that codes in the computational style are messy and hard to read really only applies if you don't know physics which while daunting need not be, like anything it just needs to be learned.

Anyway, to each their own, it's fine for people who somehow think because there are wrapper methods everywhere a code is "cleaner". I just submit that this really is a aesthetic preference, and that instead of trying to "fix" other professions, understand there are often reasons why things are that way when everyone in a field works that way.
