One thing that I haven’t seen mentioned in discussions of communications tech monopoly (or “monopoly” in many cases) is the risk of future political censorship by a hypothetical future evil Apple. Centralized market power here isn’t just about unfair profits or bad products, it’s also about control of information (and therefore control of minds).
That’s part of the reason I always opt for the highest possible storage on my main MacBook whenever upgrading - to set Optimize=off for Photos and iCloud. Last upgrade was the 8TB M1. And then I connect that to a local NAS Time Machine backup every few days.
From Europe, yes, but less is from the EU. They don't break this out in public statements so we can only guess at the numbers, but less than 25%.
The numbers vary depending on the accounting. Most of the articles are focusing on a single aspect, commodity crop pricing, crop insurance, or even state-level programs. Then it depends on what size you're drawing the line for small vs large (is it even acreage based or are they using revenue, etc).

At least in my experience, a lot of small farms are taking advantage of state-level programs, equipment grants, etc more than stuff like the CCC (which is more an indirect benefit to the small producers, but where a lot of the money goes). The equipment grants/loans can be tricky since you may only need one every decade or so, so it's not showing up in every year's reporting. For example, the dairy farm down the street recieved an environmental grant (state level I believe) for manure processing equiptment and lagoon. They are a medium sized operation - family run, under 200 acres, under 200 cows. Without the grant they couldnt afford the equiptment and they'd be closed down. I know several small farms that take advantage of wildlife/environmental/price-control crop programs where they make more money - no need get insurance since it's not for harvest, no need for fertilizer, etc. But of course what's really making ends meet for the small farms is that someone in the family needs a "real" job for a stable base income and health benefits.

Instead of port forwarding for IPv4, couldn't you use that Cloudflare service tunnelling thing?
over-corrections to the problems they set out to fix.

IPv4 space will—not a matter of if, it will eventually be exhausted. given that i don't know if IPv6 could reasonably be considered an 'over-correction' in the context of needing a larger address space, unless you strictly refer to complexity of the successor analogies (i.e. IPv6 and Wayland).

a comment elsewhere in this post makes some informed projections about when the transition will go from being gradual to necessarily fully (at least for IPv4) co-operational.
My griping was more about the medical system in general. My one experience of going to the doctor for a tick was actually pretty good (my primary care doctor, who suffers from the standard push you out the door after 10 minutes and can't you go to the ER instead, but has otherwise been pretty agreeable). I think I told them I knew it was on me for at least 4 hours, but could have been 12, and they prescribed Doxycycline. So either the 72h guideline isn't standard, or there is room for judgement that makes sense to push for. Because personally, I'm not looking to gamble with long tail Lyme and I generally find length of time guidelines for stochastic events pretty uncompelling.
Who was Powell? (from https://github.com/libprima/prima#who-was-powell)

Michael James David Powell FRS [1] was "a British numerical analyst who was among the pioneers of computational mathematics" [2]. He was the inventor/early contributor of quasi-Newton method [3], trust region method [4], augmented Lagrangian method [5], and SQP method [6]. Each of them is a pillar of modern numerical optimization. He also made significant contributions to approximation theory and methods [7].

Among numerous honors, Powell was one of the two recipients of the first Dantzig Prize [8] from the Mathematical Programming Society (MOS) and Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). This is considered the highest award in optimization.

That’s why I’m against social housing.

Inner city welfare/government housing aggregates all the homeless into one area where open air drug markets can flourish and other nefarious activities are normalized.

Low income people should instead move to the outskirts of big cities where the rent is more affordable and they are more spread out.

It is not ridiculous. SD slot is much slower than the built-in NAND. iPhone SSD read speeds are about 1200 MB/sec, about 500 MB/sec write. The OS is optimized to take advantage of that fast, contiguous, and reliable memory.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I wonder if there's a course for non-medical professionals about common symptoms and what to look out for. My high school didn't offer one.
Thank you very much, really appreciate the kind words! Got a few early users from the initial ideation phase (basically a good few talent partners I initially had a few chats with). Hopefully I can find a fit soon enough so it's grows steadily.
All you need is a little knowledge of topology!

It implies that the writer would prefer using a different language, not that Rust would be better if it was all the same but with the parts he doesn't like taken out
That’s incorrect, in practice, in Texas. There are states where the government has full power over bodies and does not permit an abortion under any circumstance. A woman cannot get an abortion in a medical facility. The government does not allow it, at all. A woman may request permission from a judge so that government may permit an abortion, but highly unlikely given the woman’s medical circumstances. And, when a woman does request judicial and government approval for her medical procedure, TX Supreme Court has upheld the government’s power to deny it, e.g., see https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/11/texas-abortion-lawsu....

I wonder if Rust is killing flies with canons (as we say in spanish). There are perfectly safe alternatives or very safe ones.

Even in a project coded in Modern C++ with async code included, activating all warnings (it is a cards game) I found two segfaults in like almost 5 years... It can happen, but it is very rare at least with my coding patterns.

The code is in the tens of thousands of lines of code I would say, not sure 100%, will measure it.

Is it that bad to put one share pointer here and there and stick to unique pointers and try to not escape references? This is ehat I do and I use spans and string views carefully (you must with those!). I stick to the rule of zero. With all that it is not that difficult to have mostly safe code in my experience. I just use safe subsets except in a handful of places.

I am not saying C++ is better than Rust. Rust is still safer. What I am saying is that an evolution of the C++ model is much more ergonomic and less viral than this ton of annotations with a steep learning curve where you spend a good deal of your time fighting the borrow checker. So my question is:

- when it stops being worth to fight the borrow checker and just replace it with some alternative, even smart pointers here and there? Bc it seems to have a big viral cost and refactoring cost besides preventing valid patterns.
It’s a bit buggy right now but you should absolutely be able to do a simple project like that! I’m happy to help, my email and a community chat are on tscircuit.com If you haven’t built PCBs before it can be a bit tough, but it’s worth it for how many potential boards you can build!!

You are welcome to run your projects this way, but other people can choose how they want to run their projects.

Can you explain? My intution and rough calculations say you are wrong.

ChatGPT agrees "To determine the long-term annual sales of phones for a company with a constant customer base of 1 billion, where each customer upgrades at different intervals, you first need to know the average replacement interval, T years. The annual sales can then be calculated as 1,000,000,000 divided by T. For example, if customers upgrade every 2 years on average, the company would sell approximately 500 million phones per year. This approach assumes the replacement intervals are consistent or average to T years across all customers."

You are supposed to use multiple passkeys or you can use a password manager to store and sync your passkeys cross platform.

If someone tells you to go away via the robots exclusion standard, and puts up bot mitigation to prevent you, blocks your IPs, etc. then clearly you do not have their consent to help yourself to the data.

I find it really hard to see how you could twist ignoring this clear lack of consent, and going to great lengths to circumvent what was clearly put into place to prevent you from doing the very thing you are doing, how you could twist that into an ethical action.

It may or may not be technically illegal to do, you're but that is not a statement about what is ethical.
Usually people run all their apps unsandboxed anyways, so cool that Wayland prevents me from accessing any other app via its protocol - too bad I can just open any other process's memory via /proc, or read any sensitive data it stored in $HOME.

It's been a long time since I daily drove Windows, but I'd assume it's still the same situation over there.

I don't care. Sandboxing is annoying, cumbersome. I'm not going to create a container for every single app I run, so Wayland brings zero additional security.

If once in a honeymoon I need to run shady software I use a VM.
Why is that hilarious? We developed an entire community, infrastructure, system, architecture, everything, from scratch, and provide access to something that never existed in the first place on the Internet. That's a significant key difference here.

This would be analogous to you thinking ancestory.com is "aptly hilarious" for arguing against someone just scraping their site for content.

I had an interviewer discuss with me how they caught someone with an AI resume. Not sure what the issue was since all the content has to come from the person detailing their experience.

I take care of where I upload my resume, there are so many scammers around collecting information or contacting people via LI to 'help' and just filling time for their employer.
I think we shouldn't expect any language to lead different programmers to the same experiences. Rust has the inital steep learning curve, and after that it's a matter of taste whether one is willing to forge on and turn it into a honed tool. Also, I think it's clear that Rust excels in some fields far more naturally than in others. Making blanket statements about how Rust, or any language, is (un)productive is a disservice to everyone.
You understand that you're an outlier here, right?

Where is the button to copy your photos from apple to google? Until something like that exists normal people are 100% locked in.

They may not even own a laptop with sufficient storage to download all their photos to. If all they have is one, maybe two, phones with limited storage they're totally fucked. Just like Google & Apple designed it.

And it's not like these services make it easy to bulk download/upload your photos, either.
The online tech space is reaching maturity. It went from nothing in the 90s to the global scale industry we have today. The winners have been chosen and the reality is infinite growth does not exist, infinite ideas do not exist.

But for 2 decades it seemed like tech was the be it all path for infinite growth. VCs pumped in hundreds of billions of dollars into the industry. Marketing painted everything as the next big thing as the money flowed and you had 3000 clone startups for every potential SaaS.

The money tap has run out (interest rates being one factor, but cracks were showing even before this), the bills are coming due. The industry is consolidating.

AI however is the last big hurrah for the industry. Investors and companies see it potentially as a big new exlosive growth space.

Yes, the entire stock market right now in the US is being held up by all the AI sentiment. Though it's starting to deflate.
Cats are susceptible to some optical illusions is what I take away.

If your device is associated with the "Find my Mac" "Find my iPhone" stuff, losing your Apple ID is the same as possibly (only possibly because you can still have user accounts with separate passwords and use the OS, but there will be limitations) bricking your device.

You can't even wipe the hard drive and reinstall macOS without access to the associated Apple ID. This is a good measure to dissuade thieves from wanting to steal Apple devices, but it is a terrible measure from the point of view of a user who has lost their ID.
Great question but I'm not experienced enough developer to give the best answer.
I don't know if it's possible to make this happen in the near enough future but the best would be if we could build the distro ourselves "reproducible builds". Then we can know for certain there are no added malicious modules added by the person signing the image.

Otherwise I think whatever the solution is, it must be a decentralized and censorship resistant solution, which means there must also be anonymity for the devs otherwise they can be forced to do bad things or even put in prison for working on a freedom software.

I think we can probably learn a lot from Monero's developers.
I think the best solution is probably a fair launch DAO where everyone can vote on who should be allowed to be a developer, who will do the signing, which features we want, etc.

I think others can give better and more detailed answers than me. I will look into what hydra is that you mentioned.
America doesn't care whether a country is a democracy or a dictatorship. Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship and America does business with them, even sells them weapons to murder Yemenis with. Iran was a democracy but America and the UK deliberately undid that.
I was a professional web scraper. I still keep up to date with the industry.

These days, you do not make money by doing web scraping; you make money selling services to web scrapers. There are tons of web scraping SAAS and services out there, as well as dozens of residential proxy providers.

Most anti-bot mechanisms evolve so quickly that you can make a decent income just by working in a traditional software engineering role dedicated entirely to engineering anti-anti-bot solutions. As these mechanisms evolve rapidly, working for a web scraping company is more stable than pursuing web scraping as a profession.

Web scrapers get paid by projects, making it an unstable job in the long run. High-level web scraping requires operational investments in residential proxies and renting out servers. Additionally, low-end jobs pay very little. Brightdata hosting a conference on web scraping, which should indicate the profitability of selling services in large-scale web scraping.
Anthropomorphic intuition has its advantages - it cuts down the ideas search space with its learnt heuristics. We are intuitive beings, and system 2 thinking is very deliberate and not so natural to us. Secondly, it might often be intractable to process things with sys2 thinking. That said, I don’t think anthropomorphic intuition is necessarily static; I can learn new intuitive skills with enough practice - for example, a person grown in a tribe with very rudimentary speech cannot intuit how to communicate even mildly non-simple ideas, but I can do half a decent job very intuitively.

And finally I think even if you don’t care for intuition, it cares for you. I mean, if you play with y=mx+c long enough, you’ll gain an intuition, intuitively. So, with these devices (like visualisers etc.), we’re essentially trying to gain an intuitive understanding deliberately, which I see nothing wrong with. It’s just meta intuition.
There is a lot of discussion going on about this. Most of it is not very constructive, but "power structure" research is a scientific thing that might interest you.
Maybe next time, GP should be more precise with their words when they make two statements in one comment so low quality replies like these don’t have to exist.
They tried and lost. They can threaten all they want. The EU would let them and good riddance as far as we're concerned. But there is this pesky notion that it's a huge market and Apple earns a lot of money there. So, they really can't walk away from that. For the same reason they play by Chinese rules in China. Because it's a big market and they need to be in on that as well. And if you think the EU is picky, the Chinese are much worse. And of course there's a whole world outside the EU and China that is paying attention as well. Apple's negotiation position simply is not that strong. It has no real leverage. And Apple as a US only company would not be anywhere near it's current size and importance. Share holders would revolt. R&D investment would implode. It has to be an international company for it to justify its share price. So, it has to adjust and can't afford to exit markets. It has no choice.
Ask HN: How do you validate a product idea in a new-to-you industry?
I'm working on a tech project in a non-tech space, that hopefully I might be able to bootstrap into a proper company. I started it initially to solve my own needs, and a few friends indicated it might be useful to them too. I have a working MVP, and initial user feedback from the people I've gotten to test the product indicates that I'm at least on the right track with what I'm making. However, since my project is consumer-oriented tooling, I can't just go find some business owners and ask them if I'm adequately addressing their pain points. I'm already going through the grind of finding more users in the space, getting more feedback, refining the obvious pain points, etc, but I don't know what I don't know here. How do I validate my idea further?

Larger doses yes, but the opiates being consumed are almost entirely a result of cost/availability. Genuine prescription pills are by far the most desirable choice amongst opiate addicts, but tight control on supply post opiate-crisis has made them practically nonexistent in illegal drug markets.

The extent of prescription opiates desirability is somewhat evidenced by most "street" fentanyl being consumed in counterfeit oxycodone/vicodin pressed-pills. And then of course there is cost--why smuggle 50 packages of heroin when a single package of fentanyl contains an equivalent number of opiate doses and can be manufactured far more efficiently/discretely?

But in general the opiate market is defined by the practical constraints of cost and availability. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that has been used in hospitals for decades, but its emergence as a street drug in recent times is the result of precursors and synthesis methodology becoming very accessible
I came back to to this post several times today to see the comments on this paper. I was curious what is significant about this paper given that it stays on Hacker News front page for hours.

Another curiosity is, what is the typical cost and GPU hours to train the model with these algorithms?
