Even with the FPS adjacent games there's a lot of untapped potential there since your input is so much more rich.

For a along time I had the idea to create some FPS rogue type game (because I was more interested in the mechanics to follow than the game itself) for VR, where your skill level in a specific aspect affected your perception of the world. High sword skill? While you're swinging a sword the world slows down. High block skill? Same when blocking with a shield. High evasion? When you move while there's a projectile/weapon swinging within a certain distance, same thing. You can apply the concept to many things.

I know I'm never going to have the time and attention to do it, but it would be cool to see the idea explored at least, and it's something it's hard to do unless you're actually doing a good approximation of the fidelity of actual movements of a person so the time time difference actually gives them a chance to take advantage of it.

I think people focus too much on the 3D aspects of VR and not enough on the interactions, and ways in which those interactions open up completely new gameplay mechanics, not just aping what people can do in real life now that you can see arms and hands.

Well, thanks for putting this up! It's really a treasure for those of us who used it as our daily driver so many years ago.
So far I've replaced Google products with Firefox (even on mobile), Kagi/DDG, Proton Mail, Simple Mobile Tools, my own FTP server, Emby, and F-Droid.

But I also still use Android, the Google Play Store, YouTube (via NewPipe), Google Messages, Google Maps, and Google Keep because I haven't found great alternatives. It's surprisingly hard to completely get rid of Google.
It would not. They're financially motivated to do what they want. They will find a way around it. i.e. scaming the elderly to sign up for cloud services and proxying their KYC requirements.

There are scamers who walk seniors to sign up through Coinbase, the KYC requirements, to order bitcoin.

It does double your API surface area, so that's the tradeoff you'll have to consider. It can be the correct decision in a lot of cases.
You misunderstand.

It is not penny pinching, it is simply keeping the coinage in their purse light.

It is not from frugality that some people wait until the cashier is giving them the total that they start writing out their check including date, recipient, and purpose.

It is why I prefer the self checkout line, and I do my best not to slow down the people behind me so that they do not have to wait an extra 5 minutes for me.
No you’ve got it the wrong way round the Intercity 125 was an impressive feat of engineering designed very quickly as a temporary stopgap while lines were electrified and still holds the record for world’s fastest diesel train. It was a side project of the engineers that were designing the Advanced Passenger Train that was being developed at the time, which was supposed to be able to run at up to 150mph on conventional routes using tilting technology. The intercity 125 incorporated a lot of the lightweight construction research that was done for APT. Not much was done to the track to enable higher speed running, some resignalling and very very occasional route realignment for higher speeds. The intercity 125 achieved better times by being more lightweight and having faster acceleration than conventional locomotive hauled trains of the time, but it was only 15mph faster than the conventional trains. Most of Western Europe has standard lines with up to 125mph running, it is not uncommon. E.g a lot of the old non-tgv line between Paris and Bordeaux supports trains running at up to 200kph (125mph) Likewise 200kph running is common in Germany with conventional trains. The track in the UK was not special, quite the opposite as when the 125 was introduced we still had a lot of victorian style jointed rails that had been obsolete since the 1950’s. Britain was slow to upgrade to continuous welded rail, it wasn’t gone from all main lines until the 1990’s.

Ask HN: Freelancers, how do you successfully expand to new markets?
As a freelancer, I've worked on 100+ projects, including some for billion dollar US companies through an agency. Those clients were very impressed with my work.

I'm now looking to build my own client base in the US market. I have the skills and expertise, as evidenced by my track record.

What strategies have worked for you to land new clients in a different market, leveraging past successful projects? I'm interested in tips for marketing, lead generation, networking, or any other approaches that could help freelancers make this transition effectively.
Once upon a time it was said by Google leadership the biggest cost Google pays is opportunity costs, chiefly in the form of projects and products they don't pursue.
I'm not complaining, that's for sure! Thanks for all you're doing.
Buybacks are useful for many reasons, but one is that theyre good for people borrowing against their shares. If a lot of people have borrowed against their google shares and now that interest rates are high want to pay back the loan without selling a dividend makes sense.

Lots of other reasons too I think but much of it probably has to do with the change in interest rates.
Watermark? In the original link the thread is based on, there is no watermarks, its probably something the publisher that sells is just happens to do.

Stablecoins provide all the risks of crypto, with none of the rewards.

They aren't inherently a scam, but that doesn't mean that they can't be part of a scam.

That's okay, but it's still 4 years old. And it uses docker compose v1, which isn't supported by upstream and receives no security updates since 2021.

Docker has gotten a lot better imo since version 20.xx. buildx and buildkit are really nice now, and there's very little downside to having an up to date version (no important breaking changes, and improved rootless mode). Afaik the issue is related to some go packaging troubles or something.

Fwiw, I have never had any issues with docker on Ubuntu. Even on azureml, where VMs are by default provisioned only with Ubuntu+docker, it just really works.

History is bloody when there is no concentration of power. Historically peace happens when there is a strong hegemon.
I hear you. Once the community turns in a certain direction, it can be hard to break through.

Some of the technologies were/are interesting. It just seemed that, even so, the applications never fully materialized. So the tech started to feel like solutions looking for problems. And, after a while, the excitement of the promise wears thin.

A lot of the proposed use cases were duplicative of existing capabilities and were frequently some variation of, "but, this is trustless/decentralized". I just don't think that was as compelling as assumed for most people who routinely give up their data, location, etc. in exchange for convenience. And, the crypto-based "solutions" frequently required tech experience and/or some inconvenience to onboard. Turns out, centralization is pretty convenient.

Then, after all of that, we're still left with some form of centralization in the form of node operators, foundations, etc.

So, there was frequently a gap between the tech and the social aspect.

Other use cases were a little grifty from the start.

If you look at the actual numbers, it's not the rich having fewer children over time. The people with (some) money (defined here as 2x the poverty rate) have fewer children, period, but they're not causing the DECREASE in birthrate, because they've always had fewer children, and that hasn't changed much. The birthrate among poor people, though, has plummeted since 2008.

It absolutely is an economic issue, and you get what you pay for. If people are not secure in their current status, they're not going to risk poverty to have kids. Children need to be cared for, and that means either professional childcare (which is expensive, since the professional needs to make enough to survive off of a handful of kids) or giving up half of a household's income.

The only thing this demographic is predictive of is its tendency to overestimate its degree of influence.

That's somewhat my point. Kia has trouble because engines and transmissions are complicated. Hell, bad CVTs ruined all the good will Nissan had for 30 years.

But once you're making EVs, they seem a lot more reliable, which let's people go for style and function more than just pure reliability numbers.
That's just stereotypes. Globally, wealth is inverse with fertility. But within a given country, it's J-shaped: wealthier people have more children on the margin.
The only gripe I have with the Ruby ecosystem (and transitively to Rails) is that RubyGems is not curated, and many gems have bitrotted into broken obsolescence over the years, but these are presented with equal standing to those that are actively maintained, and it takes a discerning eye & additional effort to tell the abandoned ones apart from packages that are simply very stable.

There’s also a ton of idea placeholder and half-baked proof-of-concept gems. These are easier to spot (usually released once, years ago) but are now nothing but squatters on the namespace.

Even if human effort is too much to ask, a filtered subset of packages that successfully bundle and pass their own tests for specific Ruby version+arch would be helpful. More broadly, perhaps that RubyGems should even be entirely siloed for each annual Ruby release, since this tends to be the boundary of breaking changes to the language (see also: semver) and approximately the cycle on which unmaintained packages become an obstacle to the update of shared dependencies.
funny you mentioned that because this demographic is the same demographic that predicted the demise of FB (it has grown in orders of magnitudes), hating on Tesla (also has been growing), didn't believe the viability of Dropbox idea.
Honestly, I put some blame on the Internet.

Before the Internet, people talked politics in person and nuance was included. Communication was synchronous, with instant feedback, and basically required engagement. You couldn't just walk away without upsetting social norms.

But the Internet (and especially Twitter), changed all that. People don't want to discuss, they want to "win", so you get 1-sentence "owns" that are just straw men. Nuance gets thrown out the window. If someone you're arguing with comes up with an excellent point that you can't counter, it's easier to just not reply. You're not on the spot, facing a human, and having to admit out loud that they've got a point. Nope. Much easier to just ignore it and remain entrenched in whatever bullshit you believe.

The other half of the blame is 24-hour cable news that has to constantly come up with shit to show, and now entertainment and news have become intertwined with a disastrous result.
> This does not describe Argentina in the early 1900s because the country's wealth was mostly from raw resource exports which are always unstable.

At the start of the 20th century, Argentina and Australia were in rather similar situations: southern hemisphere countries with mostly European settler ancestry, and an economy dominated by exports of agriculture and mining. And yet, across that century, Australia's economy just went up and up, while Argentina's stagnated (especially post-1950). Yes, Australia was also faced with instabilities from resource export prices, but it managed to weather them. Why?

The fundamental difference between Argentina and Australia is Australia had much better economic management. And a big factor behind that, is it also had much better political stability. Which could be (at least partly) due to differences in political systems (parliamentary for Australia, presidential for Argentina) and political cultures (British-derived vs Latin American)

Yeah I'm generally critical of Canonical for these moves, but Upstart is one I actually think was good and well done, as was their decision to move to systemd. Upstart was more pre-systemd anyway. IIRC Red Hat also used Upstart for a major release as well before moving all the way to systemd.
I have expressed a similar sentiment in a comment below in a more direct manner, and it didn't go well.

So I'll reiterate here that the article is pure unsupported nonsense, which not just lacks concrete examples, but any justification at all for the viewpoint presented by the author.

Missing the last train doesn't mean you can't take a taxi to that party (or have a good time elsewhere, for that matter) even when there's "no second chance" to get a ride on that specific vehicle.

"Toyota says they can collect a whole heap of personal information on you through your car, the Toyota app, and their connected services. This includes everything from personally identifying information such as name, address, phone number, email, online identifier, social media ID, and demographic information such as your age, to driving behavior such as acceleration and speed, steering, and breaking functionality, and travel direction, to lots of information about your car including VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), interior and exterior image data from cameras and sensors in your car, facial geometric features. They even can collect sensitive personal information such as precise geolocation data, biometric information. On top of all this, they say they can collect lots of information about you from other sources such as social media, public sources, data brokers, data providers, your friends, and more. Toyota is collecting a whole lot of information on you. Oh, and if you use any of those mobile services like SiriusXM radio, wi-fi connectivity, navigation, or even let your insurance track your usage, well, those places can all collect your personal information too."

I miss the times when Sedans were a more competitive market.

That being said: Toyota's Camry (and Honda's Accord) are excellent vehicles. Just boring. There used to be so much more competition in this space.

The main competitors I'm seeing to this 2025 Camry are... the Honda Accord and... the Toyota Crown (for those who can spend a bit more $$$, I bet a low-end Crown will be preferable to a high-end Camry)

I'm excited to see Toyota's excellent Hybrid technology spread across their lineup, beyond just the original Prius but also into RAV4, Corolla, the new Crown, and now the 2025 Camry. Good. Hybridization works to reduce emissions in the most simple and direct way.

Indeed: look at this article to see how good the Camry is:

Note that the 'HMP' (i.e. human readable) version of the monitor can change, so using it in non-trivial scripts is probably a bad idea. The QMP (Json mode) has proper deprecation and fixed behaviour.

Induction should be intuitive. I think there are a few things that get lost. One is you need to show the steps are equivalent. You have to show going from n-1 to n is similar to going from n to n+1.
My favorite analogy is coming stairs. You prove you can get from the floor to the first step (that is the base case) but you also have to show that all the stairs are identical. I think this is where a lot of people misunderstand induction.
