> "a new kind of immersive rear occupant experience" where passengers are "cocooned"

I am familiar with this design, the passenger is cocooned by a ceiling height designed for a person less than 5'6 (because the car looks way cooler on the outside). If you are any taller you get the transformative experience of a ride in "landscape mode" with your head rotated 90 degrees.
The lock-in is very bad, especially in the auth and user management but migrating out of the JSON-storage isn't easy either. It also encourages bad patterns, like developing stuff straight into cloud functions rather than locally with version control.

Personally I prefer SQL-RDBMS-style data storage in part because it has these algebraic qualities that makes transitions between 'schema'-versions fairly robust and predictable. Extending and transforming JSON-storage is in my experience rather brittle, even if we ignore the hurdles and indirections around export and import in the clown solutions.
In my opinion, it's one of those ideas that are so obvious that I wouldn't necessarily think it's plagiarism.

The ad is actually less embarrassing than the fact that how uncreative this is.

On the other hand, it's also hard to imagine that a bunch of people working in the ad business / phones / creative marketing, and not one of them said while working on this ad: "hey guys, aren't we just redoing that phone ad from 15 years ago?"

Have you tried any of Satoshi Kon's movies?

Tokyo Godfathers is an amazing and deeply human christmas comedy about homeless people in the Tokyo streets, filled with magical moments of cinematography.

Paprika is a less lighthearted story about inner lives, dreams and ambitions set across a sci fi backdrop where people are learning to enter each other's dreams and link them together. It has gorgeous dreamscapes and an amazing soundtrack as well as a fascinating plot and interesting characters.

Thre's also Makoto Shinkai's movies, which have good cinematography and interesting themes and soundtrack, as well as somewhat interesting characters (though a bit samey). Your Name is excellent, with Weathering with You and Suzume being good but not great. 5 Centimeters per second is nice as well. Children who chase lost voices underground is his most Ghibli movie and I'd say it definitely gets the tone and aesthetics right for the Nausica/Mononoke era of Ghibli.

On the Ghibli side, I quite enjoyed Studio Ponoc's Modest Heroes, which was a collection of shorts by Studio Ponoc (which has some Ghibli Veterans in it as well as younger talent I believe). Kanini and Kanino has the adventure elements and aesthetics, Life ain't gonna lose has the small child PoV element, Invisible has the social elements.

I like Elvish. It's clean, consistent and stable. Writing a shell script in Elvish is so much more productive and simpler than, say, bash. There are are also fewer pitfalls and tricks you need to master.

The Elvish shell language doesn't change much which is nice nowadays. The Elvish executable has also got a built-in lsp which is another nice touch.

Finally it is a "proper" shell because it has job control (which other new age shells like nushell don't).

P.S. I like nushell too which has got more features, is more powerful but is still evolving. Maybe in a couple of more years it will stablize like Elvish already has. There are lots of similarities between Nushell and Elvish scripting language. I would recommend either of them.

The river Eden is prone to flooding, creating a natural separation between Carlisle on the south bank and Stanwix on the north. In between, there's a lot of land that is conveniently located, but unsuitable for either intensive development or arable farming. There's the cricket club on this land, but also several parks, public gardens and other sports clubs.

When the baths were in use, there were also two separate settlements - the milecastle on the north bank forming part of the defensive line of Hadrian's Wall, and the civilian settlement of Luguvalium on the well-protected south bank. Being directly adjacent to the Eden bridge, the site would have been convenient for both settlements.

That's easy to claim, but it's not so easy to actually convince a government of this.

Before you get angry with me: I'm not saying this is the way it ought to be, but it's the way it is.
Joint Statement from UniSuper CEO Peter Chun and Google Cloud CEO, Thomas Kurian
> “In a rush to address the bottlenecks in production, Boeing hit problems, putting pieces together with excessive force to make them appear that the gaps don’t exist even though they exist,” Sam Salehpour said in a Senate hearing. “The gap didn’t actually go away, and this may result in premature fatigue failure. Effectively, they are putting out defective airplanes.”

Quite shocking allegation, not only because of the potential issue it can create but also that is the kind of issue that will only be encountered after a long time. It will shorten the lifetime of an airframe but probably not enough for the buck to stop with the management who decided to move ahead with forcing workers to do shoddy work, it will take a decade or two to materialise and by then most of top leadership will have moved on after collecting fat paychecks.

Disgusting, it feels more and more that those are quite calculated moves and not only pure greed getting in the way, greed is just the fuel but the actions taken to pursue it seem to be calculated enough to also pass the buck to whomever inherit leadership in the future.

I sincerely hope that more comes out of the shadows, Boeing might still have a chance if it can clean the slate: get the government involved to investigate, find the culprits, use it as a showcase on how to not run a business and perhaps in a decade or two there might be a new Boeing that adheres to the values of the old Boeing. Because the current state is pitiful, and if letting it go under the rug might become foreboding of how other American large enterprises that were once respected lose their edge.

If the USA really wants to keep up with China then it needs to tame its corporations self-imploding through their own greedy actions, if in 50 years American companies aren't well respected due to issues like Boeing brought unto themselves there will be major consequences to USA's power overall. It's already started, keeping this ball rolling shouldn't be an option.
Nope, although I think it depends on who you follow. I see cat photos, some vacation pics, and a few "chain email" style memes being re-posted.
> Most of our emission reduction was achieved by outsourcing manufacturing to China. We don’t get an award for that:

That's a common fallacy and overly simplistic. EU reductions in emissions from power generation, transportation, agriculture, construction, and similar have all been reduced by similar proportions as those from industry.

> Comparison of emissions should be done per capita - India is expected to emit more that EU, it has almost 3x as he population. The he idea that US should be top emitter forever when it’s only 300k people is absurd. Also EU has invested way more into cleantech than US has and has many times more production of these technologies than US does

Even on a per capita level, China emits more per capita than the EU does, and not that much less than the US which is still reducing its per capita emissions, so it will likely surpass it soon. India, for now, emits less, but under current trends will surpass the EU on a per capita basis before long too.

Fact is, both the EU's and US's annual carbon emissions have been trending down for years now, whereas those of China and India continue to point sharply upward. It makes zero sense to focus all the attention and anger on the US and the EU while ignoring what will soon become the world's top emitters.

> Lastly - don’t lump Russia together with China and India - China and India are actively developing countries with active leadership. Russia is stagnant and a bit of a failed state. So there is no point of comparing with failed states.

Russia is one of the world's top five emitters of greenhouse gases, of course it matters.

> Immorality is irrelevant - we will get rekt economically: EU is, right now, asking China to reduce production of electric cars and complaining that they are unfairly flooding the market

I didn't say we should base this on immorality, I'm saying your argument is implicitly based on it and incorrect as a result. What matters is the volume of emissions, and unless we slow down the level of emissions from China, India, Russia, and others forming the top tier of emitters we're not going to be able to meet any good climate targets.

Yeah, a single piano is like a portal to another world manifested by beautiful, expressive music. Possibly a life-changing object for a person (or even a whole family) to receive one in their home.

You don't know about it because it is far behind Grace.

One of my motivations is hatred of Git, but unfortunately, I hate CMake more, so I wrote a build system first that I literally just released a month ago. [1]

So I am rightfully unknown to other VCS creators.

Also, I hate Git despite being one of the 20% that know 80%. I have done things with Git that no one should do. [2] [3]

Another of my motivations is vendor lock-in. Yes, Git is decentralized, but it doesn't include everything people want for repos, such as issue trackers. These things are what GitHub, GitLab, and others use to lock users in. Mine will follow Fossil and peovide everything, so users can switch providers easily.

So I strongly disagree with your cloud-first design.

My third motivation is binary files. Why don't we track them better? I mean, yeah, xdelta is cool, but we could do so much better.

"A Silent Voice" is the best anime film of the 2010s in my opinion and comes closer to matching Miyazaki than anything else I've seen, in terms of the power of storytelling. Miyazaki is still better, but it's extremely good.

I also enjoyed "Wolf Children" a lot. As others have said, "Your Name" is stellar too, and "5cm/sec" is pretty damn excellent.
> I'm surrounded by music people and their instrument is basically an extension of themselves, they spent hours everyday touching it, for their whole life since 4. For some it's also the most expensive thing they own.

Meh. I was very into music growing up, and still play. It doesn't bother me in the least to see a musical instrument that is not my own being destroyed, any more than I have a reaction to seeing a car being destroyed in a movie ("some people really love cars!") or someone blowing up a building ("some people really love architecture!") or an artwork being burned/modified/mutilated ("some people really love art!"), or food being wasted/destroyed ("some people really love cooking!") all of which are more-or-less common in mass media.

(To wit: someone else here pointed out the OK Go music videos where they -- professional musicians! -- destroy all sorts of things, including musical instruments. Those were great, btw.)

While I do not exclude the possibility that some people may have feelings in reaction to seeing a generic musical instrument being destroyed, you can extend this metaphor to any number of areas where it's completely accepted to see similar acts of destruction.

> Some violinists are put off by music videos with violins played in the rain. Apple's ad would be traumatic.

> maybe-not-state

Take into account that you had * populations, * statal organizations, * empires. Chunks of populations could be organized into statal organizations, which could easily simply be city states. Their governments could be independent or subjected to other powers. An empire is the acquired power of an entity over statal organizations of different populations - the first empire being that of Sargon the Great of Akkad, ruling from -2334: he was ruler of the Akkadians but also conquered the Sumerian city states.

The whole history from Jericho (the first city, -10000) to, say, the "classical" period of the Graeco-Persian conflict (-490, -480) and Pericles in Athens (-461) is quite interesting, showing "history-in-the-making", the emergence of the patterns that will continue in later history and that will have prepared it. But I cannot indicate a single especially good source: I can only recommend the scattered material you will find around - and which will already show many inconsistencies, gaps, attempts, clashing of different proposals.

Probably because nobody bothered to do it and I imagine a lot of existing linux desktop software would have problems running in android. Like Android has its own libc and stuff. I am not knowledgeable enough though to be sure of these claims.
Very insightful take.

> In Git, commit is an overloaded concept ... Grace simplifies this by breaking these usages out into their own gestures and events: ...

To me, now having two different commands which I need to distinguish means actually some mental overhead. I need to think about, is this really ready now, or only partially ready? Often I don't really know. I keep rebasing and editing my history of commits until I think they are in a good shape, and then I publish (make a PR).

grace promote seems easy to distinguish, if this is only intended for merges. Although I also don't see why it is such a problem to consider this also as a type of commit. Also, how are conflicts handled there? In Git, a commit always comes with a well defined state of the file tree, with one, or multiple parent commits (or also zero for the initial).

> Every save is uploaded, automatically

How does this handle files which are not yet tracked? Or all new files are automatically added? With Git, I always check first what files are added before I commit some new directory, to make sure I don't add files which don't belong into Git, like generated binaries or so.

> You can fix [the merge conflict] while you're in flow, and skip the conflict later.

To me, suddenly getting a merge conflict because of the background auto-rebase while working on some code sounds more like a distraction to get me out of the flow?

> Personal branches, not forks

So, you mean it's a centralized system? But does that mean, forks are not possible? Or when you fork, there are no good ways to work together anymore, e.g. merging branches from other forks?

> Grace will have a native GUI app for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. (And probably Linux.)

It sounds like Linux is not a priority now? This will turn off a lot of developers. I think for a new version control system, it makes more sense to have Linux as a priority, and Windows etc can come later.

Show HN: I Made an AI Social Media Manager to Automate Content Creation
Hey HN,

I am a Solopreneur, and I love building apps to automate boring tasks.

Over the years, I happened to have launched a couple of products, blogs, and small businesses, and managing their social media pages has always been stressful.

For some time, I hired a VA to manage some of these pages, later I moved to creating content and scheduling it for my social media pages but then I got tired.

But with the recent advancements in AI, I decided to build AI Engager, an AI-powered Social Media Manager that creates and posts content with images on all your projects/business Facebook pages and Twitter accounts.

No more worrying about keeping my project's social media pages alive, AI Engager handles it and it can handle it for you too.

I hope this tool will be as helpful to you as it is to me. I would love your feedback pls.

https://www.natesilver.net/i/143904654/perceptions-of-higher...

In 2015, 57 percent of Americans had a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in higher education, according to Gallup polling. By summer 2023, that number had declined to just 36 percent. The decline has been especially bad among Republicans — although only 32 percent of independents have confidence in higher education, and the numbers have also declined among Democrats.

That is from mid 2023 so predates the campus protests.

Universities have chosen to consume their political capital to deliver short term wins to the left, e.g. by appointing diversity hires to top positions who have engaged in easily spotted plagiarism or academic fraud. People are noticing and trust is falling, even amongst those the universities are directly pandering to. There's not much sign they're going to change strategies though, so probably there will soon be a gap in the market for education startups.
