> France also has kind-of a colonial empire still going on. Could that have an effect?

They were officially post-colonial by that time, and what is left is perhaps more a financial drain than a net income gain, although geostrategically invaluable.

> Every additional level of quality costs more and more to achieve. Not to mention that often the increase of quality isn't really noticeable. Eg lead paint vs not, better wiring (fewer house fires), better insulation (lower heating costs), better air circulation (less mold) etc.

They might increase cost, or they might not, as they are logical continuation of progress (as in, does lead-less paint really cost more to produce than leaded paint?) but in the end, they are "marginal" costs on a house, maybe in the order of 15%? So by themselves, they are not going to increase the price by 300%.

> I'm from a former Soviet state.

That brings a very different perspective, yes. Having spent quite a lot of time in eastern Europe, it is clear that the life experienced in that period was very, very different, and that many improvements where brought in, in quality and quantity.

But taking the road example, if you go to Belgium, you will have the joy of experiencing the inverse phenomenon, with a decrepit infrastructure that has been much, much better in the past. Imagine the moon surface you described, and then on a motorway, with cars driving by at 130 kph.. I've seen motorway signs covered in moss, as if an apocalypse had hit.

For clothes, I have items that were bought at the turn of the century and are still "wearable", but no recent clothing item seem to survive more than a year or two, independently of the cost. Which is an annoyance: I wouldn't mind paying more for something that lasts, but, so far, haven't found a brand that does. Of course, the current state of affair is an upgrade on the quality and quantity of clothing that was available in ex Eastern-block states. (Although, as bad as the fabric and colors were, I can only assume that they were built to last?)

Kubernetes is around for about a decade by now. How much longer is it going to stay? Will it decay into the void soon, or is it here to stay?
Those same mid kids would likely work a medicore blue collar job but be able to afford real estate after a few years of saving while the market was low. Some of them might be lucky and have first mover entreprenured their way to being million/billionaires despite not being very bright (like Ma). Same lament as kids in west when their parents worked mid jobs and could raise a family. Dual income young professional households who can't buy a house while their parents without degrees have multipe + land in cottage country. Now PRC kids dealing with same shit kids in west are, academic inflation + increase cost of living + easy speculative R/E wealth is gone. Meanwhile no one wants to do "hard" work because they spend too much time in school to do manual labour. They want top 10% income air conditioned office jobs befitting their degree.

I'm not saying it's not serious, it's also not particularly special to PRC. Like the few tanping kids I hear about IRL in PRC are like your typical western kids with comfortably wealthy boomer parents who can afford to fuck around because they got safety net/inheritance down the line. Everyone else grinding while joking about tanping, like antiwork folks in the west bitch about their conditions, but eat continue to eat shit all the same.

Yes, reddit would be limited, unless they made a mode that ordered submissions and conversions chronologically and removed all voting.

Forums have existed before reddit that didn't have those things, and those forums worked just fine - and continue to work just fine. The way reddit does things is not necessary, they do it to try to make it more addictive, and that's exactly what we are trying to stop.

Discord I'm not sure - does it have votes/rating that kind of thing? From what I saw in my limited usage it's pure chronological chat, but I haven't used it much.

+ decoy NVR.

Is always smart - use unique bright yellow (say) CAT cable to route from cameras to local storage .. and on the last leg route the real camera data to a hidden NVR behind a good false panel and "continue on" with fake yellow CAT to a decoy NVR in plain view.

It's a good feeling when robbers have visually followed the bright cables to the decoy storage and trashed the drives that don't have the idiots faces and other data stored in HiRes.

The EU PR playbook for writing bad legislation:

When harmful for competition: “We’ll say it’s good for user choice”.

When harmful to users: “We’ll say it’s good for competition.”

The act of writing a law that will result in Google’s Chrome total market dominance will of course fall under “user choice”.

Meanwhile music streaming market leader Spotify has announced a price increase of 9% in the UK (and assuredly others soon) and simultaneously demonetised all artists with less than 1000 streams per annum.
Naturally the EU has nothing to say about that because it’s one of their own this time.

As long as you don't interpret monopoly to have to mean 100% market share, but an overwhelming portion of the market, enough to be able to disrupt it, prevent any new entrants, and abuse the leading position without the fear of repercussions, plenty.

* Google in search, video, browser, email

* Meta in social media for massive age segments (what, 30-70?; younger than that may be on Snapchat/TikTok (too))

* Amazon in online retail, and specifically in online books and e-readers

* Microsoft in desktop OS and productivity suite, especially for business

If we go into oligopolies, where there are a very small amount of market players that can still abuse their position, we can also add video and audio streaming, mobile phones and tablets, CPU and GPU manufacturers, smart watches, etc.
Nation states, human/narco traffickers, or criminal-acting crazy people. 0.001% it was a stupid amateur. Either way, the source wasn't good. The prescription isn't more regulation but better defenses and integration of on-the-ground civ&mil police work.

I agree with your criticism. However, the overarching design of KDE makes it reasonable because of configurability. There's an option for "always sort applications alphabetically", and the entire widget itself could be replaced with a different one. In fact there is even a concept of "alternative widgets" for this with two other options. I don't see something that matches your requirements that already exists but it seems like something that would be in scope for the project.

Also this is on version 5 but they had a major release of 6 recently, and I don't know whether those changes included anything to this widget.

You'd be surprised. A lot of programmers want complex tools because they are more interesting. They also tend to write unnecessarily complex code.

For example instead of just doing something there are multiple levels of indirection and instead of simply operating on a variable they tend to setup overly complex types that get passed around. Obviously sometimes you need that, but I'm talking about adding this complexity when it's not necessary.
> in most European cities (and I don’t know Tokyo but I believe it’s the same), mass transit is much faster than driving, including walking, escalators, and elevators.

This is not the case in Shanghai. Driving is a lot faster.

The big difference is that driving lets you plan your own route between your origin and destination, whereas if you take mass transit, (a) you have to follow whatever the existing route is; and (b) you're constantly starting and stopping at the intermediate points on the route, making for low average speed.

I don't believe either of those points vary in other cities.

Show HN: Screencast and accessibility app: KeyPress OSD
Hi, I'm Marius from Romania and I'm a physically disabled person developing open and closed source programs.

Personal site: https://marius.sucan.ro/

The app I would like to introduce is KeyPress OSD. One of my numerous health problems is a poor eyesight. To help myself and others with this problem, I developed KeyPress OSD: https://keypressosd.com/ .

It is made to improve the accessibility of edit fields, to help anyone with poor eyesight be able to see easier what they type. It offers really unique features you cannot find in any other similar app.

As a side note, it is very useful for screen casting and making tutorials, as you can highlight key presses and mouse clicks and much more.

It is highly customizable and easy to use.

On the KeyPress OSD web site, you can download a trial period of 7 days. I have an old version on GitHub as well [freeware]: https://github.com/marius-sucan/KeyPress-OSD .

To see a demonstration, please watch my YouTube video here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKvhqTeb9sg

Feel free to try it out, comment and suggest improvements!

Best regards, Marius.
I had to Google about that mall. There is a separate Wiki page!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westfield_Mall_of_the_Netherla...

> Total retail floor area 117,000 m2 (1,260,000 sq ft)
> Parking 4,000

That retail floor area is enormous!

And, LOL: If this was US, parking would be 10x!

FYI: Westfield is a huge global mall developer. Before 9/11, they ran the mall under NYC World Trade Center. It was one of the highest grossing retail spaces in the world. They must have done a lot of market analysis before they built that mall in the Netherlands.

Their definition of "merit" is "surprises me and brings something new to the table", while a regular person wants "is entertaining". i.e. they are better at judging the merit of something not actually wanted.
It will be interesting to see when spiteful users start creating LLM powered bots that are designed to waste reddit moderator's time in such a way that the moderator's reaction doesn't rise to the level of a ban, but enough that it consumes a disproportionate amount of their time.

It'll be a fabulous display of malicious compliance where they're doing something somewhat similar to your suggestion of using chatgpt to rewrite their messages, but with an entirely different outcome than you intended.

1. If you base your browser on Chromium you do not install Google tracking.

2. On iOS there were already multiple browsers , so Google could have already used their "Chrome = Safari skin" to track your browsing. So google always advertised and promoted their browser, now it will just have a better engine under the skin.
Thanks! A twist on this would be a program which finds the English word closest to a given shape, but could probably just draw it on a mobile keyboard.
I have done this as well, but with series 4. Some notes:

- Apple Watch receives calls forwarded from your phone which creates a bunch of weird problems:
1) Imagine you’re at a bar and get a phone call. You need to either answer on your watch immediately on speakerphone which is means its hard to hear the caller and hard for them to hear you, and your conversation is not private. Or, dismiss the call, go outside, put your airpods in, hope they connect, call back, hope they answer, and hope the traffic isnt too bad around you because airpods do not have best mics.
2) connecting airpods really suck, especially at home. You have to have your phone in the charger for it to forward calls to your watch, so when you put on your airpods, they will likely connect to your phone, so you run to your phone, then your airpods “magically” connect to your watch all the while your caller is shouting “hello” into the void. Not ideal for work calls.

- I really hated not having a notes.app

- messages are kinda bad, especially if you’re non-english. And again, if you’re out at a bar and meeting someone, you cant really wait to get home to message back, you have to noodle around on the small screen.

- Your friends will tease you. I didnt mind, but its good to be prepared.

- its a teeny bit annoying wearing a tech-watch. Can get a bit hot etc.

- You need an iphone to update the watch. This really suck because you never really feel you actually let go of your phone, its a hassle updating over bluetooth, installing apps etc. I would LOVE an ipad/mac watch.app.

- You need Siri for many things, like maps.app, searching for certain things etc. It really sucks, like, completely unusable.

- doesnt work well switching from wifi to celluar. So many of the watches problems stems from connectitivty issues between wifi, bluetooth and celluar.

That said, i agree with every upside the OP mentioned. I will go back to watch+airpods again when it can work without an iPhone for calling and software updates. I think one new way to get around it is to setup watch with Family Setup. That way it can get calls without iPhone.

EDIT: what i can definitely recommend is ditching your laptop and replacing it with mac mini + ipad. Its really great to not have every work task be mobile.
You are focusing too much on formalities. It doesn't say so specifically, but a collateral of education, or maybe it's equally important as knowledge itself, is the ability of critical thinking.
