At best that argument only worked if there was informed customer choice, meaning that (a) the customer understood and accepted the contract, and (b) they had a choice of some other non-surveillance device. Neither of those is really true.
Like most things.
Reminds me of the days when we'd write plugins for Microsoft Office that would populate data from an API and even send edits.
You are correct and my confidence at the time came from the fact that we are not in the business of selling user data, do not collect it or ever need it so GDPR was not affecting us (in my mind).

I had no business discussing sophisticated policy matters on a public Discord, and yet I did it in good faith open to learning something new like it happened many times on our Discord. People do this all the time. The difference is when a CEO of a company does it, it has extra weight and this is why CEOs usually do not discuss these things with users. Lesson learned.
I feel like I should say something about discord not being a suitable replacement for a forum or bugtracker.
Can a non-US citizen who got into YC incorporate in the US and stay there? What does the visa process look like?
I don’t disagree with the premise, but this would come off less self-serving if the author would provide examples of “calm companies” other than just their own.
I loved your product!!

My infrastructure is 100% focused in scale so I think we can work together, we just need to share the costs.

Hi, i’m doing something similar but rewriting books with 40-60% reduction. We should talk.
I took the question to ask whether or not the debt was susceptible to discharge under the Bankruptcy Code. Public service forgiveness is a different beast that doesn't flow through the bankruptcy system.
Mine's in my basement and I hear it fine. I'm sure plenty of people on this site have bigger houses than mine though.
> I'll just say the quiet part out-loud: expecting people to pay $10+/month for a search engine is a pipe-dream that rules out 95-98% of the world population.

So what? Why do you get upset about it, when nobody is forcing you to buy it? Most people will not be interested in paying for search, whether they can afford it or not. That's just what a niche product is, most people will not be interested. What I produce in my job is certainly uninteresting for 95-98% of the world population, and the same is probably true for your job.

> Kagi's payment-upfront mentality is unrealistic for everyone except the most well-paid Bay Area engineers.

It's ten dollars.

> At this point you really might as well just invest in your own Searx instance, it's plenty cheaper.

Yes, that might be a good solution for 95-98% of the world population.
Yes, and it gets even more fun when the source is summarizing your page, and feeding it to their AI assistant, so they stop sending you much traffic.

The business model of links + ads is going to be more in peril in the future than it is today, regardless of the regulatory environment. We see the problem all over media: If you are relying on google to give you traffic, your content better be really cheap and SEO'd to death, or be a funnel where most content is hidden, trying to drive people into subscriptions. Agglomeration in the traffic driving and ad spaces leads to them taking most of the profit unless there's agglomeration on the other end. Just like in American healthcare, more people using the same insurance companies that try to drag reimbursement rates down is met by hospital networks gobbling up practices and pharmacies, as to get market power that the insurer cannot ignore. So we'll see situations where, say, Google and the NYT have to decide whether the search traffic is worth it, and what's the right price for letting the latest AI ingest the entire contents of the Times.

It's not about moral good or bad, but about how incentive structures leave us with few viable economic models. Both software engineers and journalists will change behavior to make more money.
155 comments, and so far, nobody seems to have mentioned a very obvious and well-known difference between America and the rest of the world: Easy access to guns.

Yes, a motivated person will kill himself with or without access to guns, but how could having nearly one in every two households[1] not be at least a factor?

For google it probably does not matter if you are logged in or not. They know who you are anyway when you do your searches.
Yeah, the [n,n+1] is only a problem when there isn't enough wiggle room between the numbers. ex: [2,3] and [3,4]

[3,4]

--> [1,2,4] --> 4 can't split because 2/2 and 3/1 are invalid

--> 4 can't initially split because 2/2 and 3/1 are both invalid

[5,6] --> [5,4,2] --> [5,1,3,2] --> [6,3,2] --> [6,5]

[7,8] --> [7,3,5] --> [7,1,2,5] --> [8,2,5] --> [8,7]

When you add more numbers, you need more wiggle room.
So, [4,5,6] is problematic and probably [5,6,7].

[4,5,6]

--> [3,1,5,6] --> 6 can't break into 3, nor 5/1. It can do 4/2, but then 5 can't split. 5 also can't split.

--> [4,2,3,6] --> [4,2,3,1,5] --> [6,4,5] --> 4 can't split into 2/2. It can split to 3/1 but then 5 can't split

--> 6 can't initially split at all because 3/3, 4/2, and 5/1 are invalid

Even if [6,7,8] has a solution, I'm sure [6,7,8,9] does not.
Because its the highest bid?

> Would that justify a law forcing companies to pay for the open source software they use?

I think that would be an amazing law, actually.

A quasi-tax that affects everyone and helps fund public goods is easy to get my support.

But taxing specifically linking by a couple companies is not good.
If I was in that situation, the last thing I'd want is to provide an AI video generator the means of creating videos like mine and that would compete with me.
Thanks for the tips! I'm a beginner to running but I had been doing boxing/weight lifting for a few months before that, so far the tempo/5k pace is working fine for me, but I will pay more attention on not to injury myself :) For the taper part I'll dig deeper! Thank you for the kinda advice!
Exactly. What amazing country are they planning on sheltering in? Good luck.
Macroeconomics is not bookeeping.

If a bookkepper destroyed or created money they would be in a great deal of trouble and probably end up working for the state for two years less a day.
I don’t have a horse in this race, but from using Google’s AI search previews I am not bullish on the future of search being LLMs even with RAG or MoE (though of course, there is plenty of AI to be had apart from these, and I am bullish on AI in general). Even simple things, such as asking about setting up a Starbucks “franchise” (you can’t), are met with enthusiastic, affirmative, and blatantly incorrect answers.

Anyone who is thinking of putting LLM output directly in front of customers (no HITL) had better think twice about this.

> If you had to submit the PR yourself, you’d have to remember to do it in the first place (and take the time to do it). Bumping a bunch of patch version numbers has never been the hard part and isn’t really what these tools solve. Their purpose is to reduce the effort involved to an absolute minimum so there are no excuses to fall behind on updates. Some of these tools, like Renovate, even have the ability to automatically merge the PR if the tests pass, meaning there’s zero human involvement.

I’ve seen a fair number of open “dependabot” PRs just lying around.
I wonder if you can use the WoTLK Classic client to connect to this. IIRC there was a project to proxy WoW Classic client connections to server emulators like these.
You know that you use a token to unlock your boot device. You don't necessarily know the specific set of libraries needed to enable the feature, though.
For now I`m setting no restrictions. Since it is an MVP, I`m trying to understand what a basic and a hard user would be. After a while, Ill figure out how to charge for it and what limitations should a free and a paid user have.

My Google API rate limit is way bigger then 60/minute.
I think you’re ignoring that there is a path to getting to users/customers for many types of products like news, which are the tightly controlled platforms of giant tech companies (Google, Meta, etc), and there isn’t viability for products like news unless they play ball with these big tech companies. It’s not that they haven’t monetized effectively, but rather that there are gatekeepers in the way with no real competition, who can steal your margin by showing part of your news story. All of this is really a classic problem of anti-trust, and what a monopoly is today is different from the past but we haven’t acknowledged this properly in my view.
I didn't end up getting the job there but I assume it's use it or lose it. It's basically an extra 12 days of paid holiday a year which is quite significant.
Great idea! I've bought the app. Could you add Hindi please?

Also, is there any way to hide the British flag but keep the target language flag?
Yeah, but the problem is that your competitors dictate what you have to do. If they keep their supply chain in Asia because it gives them a significant price advantage, then you're overpriced. For on-shoring to work, you need to be able to survive such a structural disadvantage in the short-term AND the advantage you realize when outlier events happen has to outweigh the structural disadvantage.
I have a few headsets and I think they're incredible for games.

Goatse, is that you?
This is incredibly helpful and generous of you. This is completely not specific to tech, but I have a friend who emigrated from Congo very young. As a young adult, he committed a felony. He served his time and was released last year. ICE did not pick him up from the prison, so he went home with his parents. He has a ruling date from an immigration judge this summer. He recently turned himself in to ICE after discovering they wanted to hold him until his hearing was resolved. He has an attorney, but his parents are very private.

What are his chances of not being deported? Does the current situation in Congo affect this? Is there anything I can do to help his case?

Thank you so much.
In the US heat pumps have only seen widespread adoption in the last decade or so and even then mostly in new construction applications. Most houses still use either window or central AC units and then some other mechanism for heating, oil or gas furnace, electric baseboard, etc.

Cheers -- I didn't know that. Interesting parallel to the 30% app store wars: people can argue till they're blue in the face with analogy after analogy, and I can easily talk myself into either perspective being obviously correct...

...at the end of the day, I'd be happy to see a tax pass, some mix of what you put excellently as "real people’s jobs and livelihood being drained away", and I imagine similar to you given your MTV reference, experiencing there wasn't really anything special going on at BigCo. It's plain old economic inefficiency, not poor beleaguered good guy G that's always looking out for news and just trying to organize the world's information.

Canada (or at least Ontario where I live) pays teachers relatively well, hire on merit, but results are quite mediocre when measured objectively (and, for what it's worth, correlate with my own subjective anecdata). This is at least partly due to perverse incentives introduced by the seniority system. You can hire the best, but if you promote and give raises to the ones who put in the most time, the best won't necessarily stick around nearly as much as you want them to.

According to the main rule of taxation, you're going to get less of what you're taxing. I we can generalize it and say that you'll get more of what you're incentivizing.
In Turkey, they are explicitly disallowed to do so, and has been the case even before 9/11, due to how Turkish transport licensure system works.
> "A short construction period, span lengths and reuse of existing foundation were framework conditions for the planning of the bridge," it continued.

Given that it doesn't look that remarkable it seems odd that a little asymmetry couldn't be accounted for. Or was someone out there saying "we'll never build symmetric bridges, our river is too good for them..." Because the rest of the article makes it sound more like an engineering failure.
I’m very pro capitalism but I do think redistribution makes sense in the context of giant corporations that are effectively immune to competition. Why do you think Google and Amazon and others can create entire products that never make a profit for years and then unceremoniously shut them down or reduce their investments in them? Everyone else has to try to survive based on their merits and actually make money. Platform owners can be very abusive because those dependent on the platform can have no choice and no voice to speak up. We see this everywhere - whether it is Amazon’s abuse of third party sellers or Google’s abuse of content creators (including news) or Apple’s abuse of app developers. We don’t need to craft a bunch of very targeted laws to reign this in - we just need to split them up and tax any company with market cap above $500B heavily.
I like it, but the trouble with ortho keyboards is that they are quite expensive and hard to come by. I've resigned myself to "mainstream" QMK keyboards like the K7 Max (https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2024/04/06/1830), but keep wondering if there's something more compact.
I've been using Kagi only for a couple of months, so I'm still very much in the honeymoon phase. Perhaps they're still searching for their identity. Very much hope they rest independents and good at web searches.
We also had a similar setup at Algolia, renovate push to one branch (`baseBranch` properties) and you only review once a week or month.
Created a GitHub actions to create the base branch with a cron:

So you have nothing to do except a big review once in a while.
The money quote, describing the root driver of the extermination — it was a policy to exterminate the primary source of sustenance for the Native Americans, to force them onto the reservations. The economic uses and mass hunting competitions were the result.

>>The federal government promoted bison hunting for various reasons, primarily to pressure the native people onto the Indian reservations during times of conflict by removing their main food source.

>>Without the bison, native people of the plains were often forced to leave the land or starve to death. One of the biggest advocates of this strategy was General William Tecumseh Sherman.

>>On June 26, 1869, the Army Navy Journal reported: “General Sherman remarked, in conversation the other day, that the quickest way to compel the Indians to settle down to civilized life was to send ten regiments of soldiers to the plains, with orders to shoot buffaloes until they became too scarce to support the redskins.”
It's because of how dynamic linking/loading works on Linux. An ELF dependency means that symbols in the library can override symbols in the binary or in other libraries. That doesn't work when the library is loaded with dlopen().

cause commenter was making claim that was not grounded in reality so i thought i missed something
Preamble: As I understand it, it is permissible for a European who works for a US company to visit the US as a "business visitor" on an ESTA in order to visit the company, as long as the visit is not for "work". Various sources list activities that are deemed to be "business" and not "work", such as attending business meetings or attending a trade show, and entering on an ESTA for these purposes is thus acceptable.

Question: What I'm not clear on is whether the business-but-not-work restriction...
1. merely means that the purpose of your visit has to be business-but-not-work, or
2. requires that the visitor refrain from all "work" activities while in the US, even if they weren't the reason for visiting and would have happened anyway.

Concretely: suppose I am a programmer who works remotely from Europe for a US company. I visit the US to meet my colleagues face to face and attend a trade show with them (business, not work), but these activities don't take up 100% of my time. Rather than sit around idly during the downtime between "business" activities, I do some of my ordinary programming work, of the sort I would do back in Europe. Have I broken the law?

Gosh, then they might have to go with "Sign up"! :)
Is odd to me that this company choose to use the domain spreadprivacy.com to promote his products. Not the best branding approach to gain naming recognition and trust.
Do publications to my BigCo employer's engineering blog count towards an O-1 application? Or is it just Research Papers/citations to formal journals that matter?

That was due to a design calculation error, not some aesthetic concern.
Maybe, but on the other hand this is what the author made and they seem quite happy with it. You're more than welcome to make something else if you don't like what they've done!
Interesting.

I will say I find the writing a little off putting. Felt like they wanted to rope in every name, company and person involved here.

"medieval hazards" I don't even know what that means but mold is a thing in the modern area too.

Clearly this publication is pro labor unions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Notes), but it is strange that they push this narrative and note how people in the labor union were working in these poor conditions:

"many have required their union workers to build on 12-hour shifts, seven days a week. Despite months of worker concerns, managers waited until early February to take basic precautions against the mold—precautions that might slow construction"

Gee thanks labor unions for helping out?

This article is all over the place.

There's a story here that IMO could have been told, and accomplished the same goals without the internal weirdness of the article sort of pointing back at itself.
Fair points and a reason not to get personally invested.

> Is the search good? I mean...it's not really much better than any other search

It is absolutely fantastic as a search engine. The few times I find myself on DDG or Google I am reminded how terrible the alternatives are. For this alone I am happy to pay for however long as possible.
I saw this in my profile but had idea idea what it was for, thanks.

There are many books on MES and ERP which are good for an overview and structure. Then read documentation for the specific vendors you are working with. I have transitioned to this space over the last couple years, and mostly I use LLMs at this point.
I'm talking about the Guardian article in the grandparent comment. It's a private deal between Google and the Canadian govt.
Renovate creates an issue which lists the status of all dependencies in the repository, which it keeps updated. It then creates PRs for each dependency update, which can then have CI run individually to give an indication of any issues with the update.

It's downright excellent.
How transferable the open source experience from major projects (like being a core developer of the python language itself) in terms of O1 to provide the criteria of "reviewing other's work"?
It’s very interesting!

Does everyone get the same thought? It feels like it’s stuck in a bit of a loop around a Dutch chant around Jews because it can’t get an image to evoke the feeling… probably because it can seem racist. It seems to have got there by reading the news and seeing an article about the history of the chant.

I suppose this AI also goes for attention grabbing headlines!

Doubly unfortunate, being that mold remediation on an item isn't terribly complicated or difficult, but mold remediation in-vivo, or in a structure, is much more complex.
