I was just talking about this a few months ago. In my opinion, single-payer dental insurance should be provided before health insurance. If a country has single payer but provides no dental insurance, it's a waste, as a lot of issues start in the mouth. We're at the forefront of a lot of this right now (as well as gut health).
What's wrong with WhatsApp end to end encryption?
The theory is compelling but this is the exact sort of problem that needs a representative benchmark. Based on the benchmark, the optimal strategy can then be picked.

I don’t see any stats/graphs or benchmarks in the linked article.
China and India are happy to trade with Russia. That is a smaller bloc than the EU + US, but there is a reasonable argument [0] that the difference is not that big. This whole fiasco seems to have been quite damaging to the US's image; it is just drawing attention to the fact that there is an acceptable alternative.

If the US wants to maintain a dominant position it should have been working to make this bloc less likely to form, not working hard to weld the different components together. If they manage to build a bloc that has worlds biggest democracy, worlds biggest manufacturing powerhouse and a big oil export that is sealed off from the US financial system then that will be quite difficult to compete with.

I feel the cannabinoid and terpene profiles determine these REM cycle disruptions and grogginess just the same as they affect the onset of being sleepy. I sleep great on indica based land races, but terrible on most modern strains that have a higher THC percentage or hybrids of sativa strains. Hopefully in the future we can break down these differences in the profiles of each strain rather than having blanket studies and opinions that might be neglecting that these profiles can be significantly different in their effects, especially regarding sleep and medical use.
This strategy doesn't work in all the other more sophisticated markets, where WhatsApp/Telegram/FB Messenger/etc are the most popular communication apps.

Time and again seems to be US-only curiosity.
The goal of the GPL is user freedom (not developer freedom), so it is intentional that it is hostile to situations where proprietary software is involved. There is the LGPL for allowing those situations though.

The GPL doesn't care about control schemes though, so your nuclear reactor example seems strange.

The GNU family of licenses don't care about contributions, only about user software freedom. In the case of hosting companies, the AGPL was created to preserve user freedom for network oriented software, it isn't perfect but is reasonably good.

It is incorrect to say these companies are switching to different licensing schemes because of lack of contributions from hosting companies, the correct reason is that the hosting companies make a lot of money and the software companies want that money for themselves.
Hey, im working with angular for almost 5 years now.. What changes should we -developers - expect in the developer experience. In other words how we work with angular. Are you aiming for the "drop-in" replacement same as with ivy back then? Or new standards are comming with this? Thx!
Ask HN: Best non-tech U.S. cities to work in tech?

If the FDA truly believed this (like, followed science, did studies, etc), they would have pushed for rescheduling decades ago. Instead, they've finally bowed to political pressure that has built up in the country over the last 10 years.

Thats all it is to them, politics. This FDA does not believe in true science.

It will also likely be politics that moves them to start banning food products that contain high levels of plastics, pesticides, etc. It won't be the science (thats already known), it will be politics again, but not until it's really bothered enough people again.
So my original comment was to the effect that the average job seeker you can interview will always skew towards being that guy who's taking a year to find a job.

But 'that guy' will change: many more people will be 'that guy' during a downturn, than during a boom.
If you like set it on fire it decomposes into gas to the point they're not the same compound, they don't come back down into micro-particle slug of same thing like gaseous gold would, and there is always that bacteria known to scientists that can break down certain kind of plastics in that manner for almost all common plastics

What does he mean here, since Uber Eats, Door Dash, Postmates, Grub Hub, and a bunch of similar startups all do some version of that.
Then they'll use it.

This game is about product, not models.

The alpha and margin on models will trend to zero. Razor thin products like ElevenLabs will become commodity, whereas rich UI/UX will stay ahead.

OpenAI themselves will be stretched too thin to build for this market too.

You keep suggesting NFC has a lot of security concepts baked in, but it's not really true. The base standards of NFC provide no encryption concepts. It provides no protection against sniffing. It provides no authentication. It provides no relay protection. The only "security" you get is it's designed for near communication, but you can absolutely read and write NFC tags from a distance with the right hardware.

Base NFC has almost no security and relies on protocols on top to be secure. For example, Amibos use NFC and are trivially duplicated with cheap writable NFC tags. Contactless credit cards aren't secure because they do NFC, they're secure because NFC allows for an EMV transaction, it's the EMV handshake that handles all the security.

Once again, suggesting NFC just has a lot of security by default is acting like WiFi is always secure. But even worse, because at least WiFi standards have encryption and what not built in and optional, NFC doesn't even provide that.

And then you point out passive tags as if that's a thing that makes RFID less secure (ignoring NFC used for identification is RFID) but then I guess don't realize NFC allows for passive tags as well. I don't need to change batteries on my Amibos or the NFC stickers I put on the Wi-Fi info around the house.

You could build a key card system with NFC that has the same or worse system as older key card platforms. It being NFC gives you absolutely no additional benefit.

I wished all devices came with at least a schematics (or downloadable pdf) even if it weren't designed to be repairable. I remember getting my first computer, C64 in the 80's, and it came with schematics in the back of user manual. Even though I didn't understand any of it as a kid, I thought it was very interesting and piqued my curiosity toward learning computers.

I would prefer the US Government not dictate to private companies what protocols they have to use. That would be a preposterous overreach.

I've been part of interviews of various doctors in relation to cannabis. Some are so gung-ho it comes across that you should take no other medicine other than cannabis. Others come across from the point of view as it's just one more tool in the tool chest of treatment options. So even in the medical community, there's no consensus. I'm hopeful that the rate of current research will start revealing something closer to fact, and hoping bigPharma doesn't come along and ruin it
Goodness gracious, forget Professor Shewchuk's response, check out the guy he was responding too. Absolutely unhinged. Talking about relationships "expiring" and paying people to introduce him women? Couldn't waterboard that out of me, and the man is giving it out for free.

Why is it that technology that was meant to connect us, only seems to divide us? How can someone be this isolated? Anyone got any insight into this? Discounting things like mental disorders or trolling.

If you do want good HDR, look to the QD-OLED monitors that are currently flooding the market. Those are still pricey though.

> It matters some but a very large private company still needs to organize and make money even if there's probably somewhat less immediacy.

For a company like Google, it's exactly the same. Even after going public, the founders still control the majority of stock voting rights. And there's no obligation in corporate law that you have to maximize profits.

It's just that you have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders; maximizing profits is one things shareholders can want, but it's not the only thing they are allowed to ask for.

I do that with a private server of my own, but it's quite fragile. The SSH tunnel connection drops sometimes, and it's just raw tunneling. What I love about ngrok is the web interface with logs showing the HTTP requests and responses with all the headers and payload. I'm hoping this has the same, will give it a try when I'm on my laptop.

One benefit of doing it on your own server is the static hostname you get with it. A new hostname every time you start up is not fun at all!

> "Apple has restrictions on what they allow on the App Store as far as "Super Apps" ... In China, WeChat does many different things, for example, from messaging to payments."

The WeChat super-app is available on iOS, complete with installable "mini apps", and most of the same functionality that is available on Android. So it's not clear exactly what the complaint is here. Unless Apple makes exceptions for WeChat and China that are not available to developers elsewhere?

Only artificially concentrated drugs should be heavily regulated and tracked. Everything that is a plant should be legal like tobacco. The main danger is the dosage of the drug, and using chemicals and other ways to concentrate the active ingredients, which is what makes them so dangerous.

It's basically just functional programming. (Or what you would get from a functional programmer given the task of writing such a tool as jq.)

That's not to diminish jq, it's a great tool. I love it!

It 100% still holds.

The convergent evolution of pitcher plants is an example of this. There are a number of features that evolve to the same functionality in plants, and many of them have to work together to become fully functional. Yet we see in plants separated by vast distances and millions of years of separation that traits that are useless alone encode themselves and then will will have near spontaneous usefulness when some other gene evolves.

The laws of large numbers are not things the human mind really grasps well at all.
I have ~200K photos in iCloud and do not have this problem of exporting, I “export” regularly onto new backup media.

However, I don't really export, I turn on iCloud Photos on Windows and set it to store on an external media with sufficient space (over 2TB now) and then tell it to locally store all media in full quality.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/108994

Once it's synced, I have a local folder with all the media. I have accomplished an export. Then I can turn it off, remove the media, and go back to a c:\ folder and not saving locally.

Now, you wanted without iCloud, so then, Windows 10 or newer? Microsoft has a phone companion that can pull things, or there's file explorer for just photos.

But absent iCloud, what I've done is run OneDrive on the iPhone, and let that mirror everything to OneDrive.

(An alternative used to be Amazon Photos, but I can't keep track of their business model, and Google Photos I can't keep track of what makes them decide to replace my originals with badly compressed alternatives.)

I sort of don't understand buying an iPhone, though, if you're not buying into the ecosystem.

The ecosystem is the point.

The ease of use of iCloud, the paired camera roll for your family (not same thing as shared albums), the family sharing of apps and subscriptions, the bring-your-own domain email with "hide my email" throwaway accounts to put into spammy sites, it's all there increasingly seamless, increasingly secure, and none of it is selling you out into third party ad-tech.

If you're not into that, there are other phone systems and operating systems and other hardware all grounded on different and separate principles. There's only one place for a cohesive coherent curated "don't make me think" peace of mind, and consumers should have a right to choose that since it stands alone in opposition to the DIY bricolage everyone else offers.
Not me. I hate cannabis smoke.

PSA: please make sure your second hand smoke does not affect others.
>My prescription drug is Trazodone, which so far has worked better than nothing

Someone I know tried Trazodone but it had similar problems as well as other minor side effects. They switched to Quetiapine in extremely low dose and it worked great, however they are concerned to use it long term as it's not the main reason that drug is usually prescribed. Out of curiosity, I am wondering if you have tried that and can compare it to the current edible that is working for you?
Disclosure: I work for a company with a free downloadable software package, paid plans, and write a lot of open source around it.

I wrote about this conundrum a few years ago: https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/3438

OSS is a great way to build a community, increase adoption, and get attention. It isn't perfect at that, but it beats alternatives, for devtools at least.

But then you need to make money (especially if you've taken VC).

That's when the problems start. It's hard to make money on OSS unless you are using it as a complement to something you can sell. Especially in the age of hyperscalers.

And, as other posts indicate, switching from OSS midstream burns any goodwill you had when you started, and opens you up to forks.

It's not unique to OSS, though. Even devtools that cost money or are free but not OSS run into issues making money. Devs are a hard audience to sell to, in my experience. I know I am stingy.
As an old Unix guy this is exactly how I see jq: a gateway to a fantastic library of text processing tools. I see a lot of complicated things done inside the language, which is a valid approach. But I don’t need it to be a programming language itself, just a transform to meet my next command after the pipe.

If I want logic beyond that, then I skip the shell and write “real” software.

I personally find those both to be more readable and easier to fit in my head than long complex jq expressions. But that’s completely subjective and others may find the jq expression language easier to read than shell or (choose your programming language).
That's a strange take. I would argue this is MUCH better than every single person using the exact same 10 samples from the same library.

You can't think of ANY creative uses for this? After 20 years? It's just another tool, just like early hip hop sampling -> drum machines -> midi controllers -> etc etc
This has been the case. It's just expanding.

Often times you'll find former members of the military or government start a `private` firm, just to turn around and use the connections they made to land a government contract, or two.

It's only a bad thing if you're one of the hundreds of millions of people not invited to the party and cut out of the deals because you didn't know the right people.

I don't see the problem? /s
A few things to mention here. First, the government actually paid a university to grow cannabis and they gave it to glaucoma patients for decades without any interesting results (in my opinion probably because the grantees were more interested in getting repeated funding from NIDA than to publish things NIDA didn't want to see). Second, there have been a number of clinical trials on marijuana for quite some time with a wide range of results (it's a tricky drug to study for a number of reasons). For a long time, NIDA made it hard to get funding for this- and also constrained the supply- probably with the goal of preventing studies that would find efficacy. Third, I think the FDA system is really poor at evaluating a wide range of drugs (of which cannabis is an example). They have a really limiting mechanism that doesn't work well in "compassionate use" where we already have a good understanding of the risks from widespread use. Fourth, the FDA wasn't created to do this- it was created mainly to reduce consumer fear of drugs in response to absolutely horrific side effects. The drug that led to this, thalidomide, is approved by the FDA and used in the US as a highly effective medicine.

I think in retrospect, it took the FDA so long to get here for political reasons, not scientific or medical ones.
Ease of addiction combined with difficulty of quitting.
Very importantly, Apple support of PWA is poor. Here lies the biggest issue for developers and startups.

High cost for web apps to support iPhone users who expect an app like experience. Android on the other hand makes this very easy in comparison.

Try asking your apps iphone users to go to the share button on safari to install the app.
The government has been pretty adamant about wanting a backdoor placed in peoples' phones.

A super-app probably seems a like pretty good option to them, as once they compromise it, they'll have access to a large amount of data or, more likely, pressure the super-app owner into placing a backdoor into their service.
I feel I would prefer to have one 6k 32” monitor to the two 4k 27” monitors I have had for years.

Because I feel I have to move my head too much with two monitors.

Oh man I sound so spoiled!

6k, 32”, P3, and 120hz will be the holy grail. Probably requires a newer DP standard though.
Obviously yes, hence we are the monkeys banging on the keyboard. Evolution just boosted those that made interesting strings because it gave a survival advantage.

I think the annoyance is that they weren't interested in giving tours until someone asked, and they figured out they could make a profit. Pretty reasonable to expect a ticket, even if it isn't free.
I'm seeing a fun resurgence of popularity with regards to deeply technical semiconductor articles here on HN lately! Seems almost daily there's a new semi engineering article or similar.

Slightly related to this article, if anyone is interested in playing with the Synopsys Verilog/VHDL synthesis tool (Synplify), there was a version bundled with the Lattice FPGA tools last time I used them. It was provided as an alternate to the Lattice Synthesis Engine, and it looks like that relationship continues [0]. I also just love Lattice FPGAs, and this article reminded me of that :)

> We should agree to disagree

Agree. But lastly...

> Apple along with others are the one who curated such users willing to pay to begin with.

In what world is Apple responsible for curating the users of _music_? The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Taylor Swift, and Beyonce curated those users. If Apple never existed, just as many people would still be listening to their music. For the last time, Apple created the App Store - the Market for apps, yet they also have their own music app. They're a direct competitor of Spotify, which is why their tax is anti-comptetitive.

> That’s why there are both iOS and Android exclusive apps and businesses.

Again, you're going in circles. I'm not talking about those businesses and never have been. It's existing businesses. They can't leave because their customers are using those devices... They're contractually obligated to their customers and shareholders. Perhaps in your world Apple makes profit illegal and everyone is happy.
