I think you may be overly generalizing. Without doubt certain governments, especially in the Islamic parts of the world, are fascist. It's a paradox that anti fascists in the West support governments that oppress women, and gays, and hang dissenters.

Is your point that this shouldn't be called Islamofascism? I've never heard that term before, but I'm doubtlessly not ignorant to the fact that these governments gained their foothold through literal implementations of Islam coupled with Western weaponry. That combination does seem to define a parallel between Islam and fascism for those specific cases so I don't think that term is necessarily misplaced. Again only in those cases.

I could make similar points about the other terms you've listed. That the terms exist may simply be a manifestation of the fact that there are clear examples of them. Whether you choose to apply them more broadly to the extent they are misplaced, I think, is left to interpretation, especially your own.
> are telling me that the company tried to save money by not giving the exec what he deserved

Not at all, and sorry if I gave that impression. I only wrote what I know and saw. I don't know anything more than that.

> You just provided evidence that private companies work hard to not pay execs those bonuses to save money, that goes directly against what you are arguing.

Surely you are not equating cheating with efficiency? And surely you aren't suggesting that nobody in government ever cheats :-)

Most of Moore's Forth methodology comes down to extracting the optimal solution by:

1. Iterating your understanding until you have the deep core of the problem.
2. Experimenting with possible solutions until you find the best approach.
3. Not coding the final production code until the first two steps are met. (Maybe this is a variant of Fred Brook's "Plan to Throw One Away"? see https://course.ccs.neu.edu/cs5500f14/Notes/Prototyping1/planToThrowOneAway.html)
4. Writing code and documentation that is simple, direct, and easy-to-understand.

Yeah. My dad had told me more than one horror story of early tech startups buying truckloads of hardware to scale way beyond demand growth. And I remember when getting on Slashdot meant your service would inevitably go down.

Of course, given stable demand and known requirements, bare metal can be a great option. But it’s not strictly better than public cloud hosting.

I think it’s just been long enough that people have forgotten the limitations of bare metal engineering.

Maybe some bluetooth sensor to a raspberry pi to your phone

Either one or two sensors, first one matbe gyroscope, second one maybe electrode or similar for muscle activation (ten to a hundred times more expensive upon googling)

Some algorithm saying if the movement is squiggly enough and if the combined sensors are activityful maybe give u a text or call or push notice with higher prediction percent displayed if both active

Or just do that with the gyroscope only, display the movement graph over time and u can use your intuition on the movement pattern to see if its a false positive or not

And obviously i forgot about bodycam
People even stream their cats lives with bodycams i think u should be able to see if its having a seizure as for detection idk maybe something neural detecting the same scene shaking, worst case scenario pay amazon mturk or something

My wet dream would be a dump of all SMS or Meta or iMessage messages for a multiyear period for nearly 90% of users.

Both your and @yourusername are valid arguments. Movie/TV streaming services generally bad.

It's like a loot of good content is missing, but instead they're trying to make their own content that is mostly average and sometimes just bluntly bad, not even laughably bad.

Music is way better, I recently switched from Spotify to Tidal, and there were only two tracks missing from my playlists.

Ask HN: Why don't we know everything there is to know about the human body?
The human body seems to be of finite complexity and always available for observation, surely there has to be a way for growing lost limps, triggering sensations and changing anything we want changed in an human.

Why do we still struggle to modify humans in any way we want yet, AI/LLMs are making strides?
We can safely conclude that there is a bit of power asymmetry going on.
In case you missed it, the authors were pretty smart to include that folded section in the middle, "Prompt for prompt-enhancement". I slapped that into gpt (https://chatgpt.com/share/2e53403e-4bd7-4138-ac34-55378e2ed3...) and made a few prompts. Ran those on their online demo. Initial impressions:

- prompt adherence is really good
- it's somewhere between SD15 and SDXL at creating pictures of text
- aesthetic quality is good, but leaves some to be desired

Gonna play more with it in ComfyUI.
Thanks for the reply.

Copy&paste via menu works (I didn't think about it) and Ctrl+Shift+V works too. Ctrl+Shift+C opens Firefox's Developer Tools. It's difficult to find a reasonable shortcut.
It's a curious thing, on all of the three counts you (aptly) mention ...

I think it has to do with "legacy" financial costs "granfathered" into electronic payments by existing processors (VISA, etc), preventing costs from being low enough to warrant micropayments even existing ...

... and, no, web 3.0 and crypto has not made it (balcanization, lack of critical mass) ...

... as to the loss of the third model (fixed, monthly), the loss of that is puzzling. Might have to do with "freemium" being the (initial) web's "default" model, and friction being enough to chock it (stop it) at or before birth ...

... and pricing: Subscriptions (at least at first) were too highly priced. That appears to be changing.-
Corporations were originally for some public benefit. It’s only recently that profit has become their sole aim.
According to CNN:

“The company said the US Department of Justice Department determined in May and in June that a delay in public disclosure was warranted. It’s not clear why that the US government requested that data be delayed. CNN has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.”
The problem wasn't between the cloud and self hosting - the problem was they had stateful code that didn't scale to thousands of requests for different clients. So they are bringing up new instances every invocation.

The same 3s runtime startup cost (and need for more hardware) would happen if they were running their own servers.
Cloud was absolutely sold as saving money once upon a time, but like any other industry, they wanted to push the margins higher by getting away from providing commodity services (cloud primitives in their case), and thus the marketing started saying it was never about saving money or how you're not supposed to use the primitives; you need to use the higher-level, managed services (that also happen to have tons of vendor lock-in).

I've spent the last decade or so wondering if the emperor was wearing clothes and not really getting what everyone else has been talking about. Which isn't to say that cloud is useless, but it's not the universal panacea that it was often sold as, and it seems that others are waking up to that.
I'm not sure even if that was the case it would fit the definition of a "loss-leader" unless we assume that Apple makes back the loss and more through the App Store and other services which seems extremely unlikely.

Otherwise who would selling laptops at a loss increase the sales of higher-end laptops, most people don't buy both.

> I cannot rule out the possibility

That seems like an extremely high-bar.
Class-action suit sounds reasonable, but sadly those never give penalties in right ballpark. Here it should be hundreds to thousands at least per affected customer.

But my guess it is few tens of cents, if that... While lawyer will get nice couple million pop...
> After taxes, but before healthcare and the fact that most employment is at-will.

That combined doesn't even remotely cost that gap of 60k per year (plus strictly speaking this is not true since many employers would provide IT people with insurance).

> I'll take higher taxes,

It's not higher taxes. It's much lower salaries + much higher taxes combined. 60k a year in savings will provide you far more security and bargaining power than any strictest EU trade code would (and this is IMO one of the reasons for higher salaries in the US).
I think CMYK can be seen as a practical adaptation of RYB for printing purposes
Aside from a couple non-US friends, I know no one in the US who uses anything other than straight SMS (and Apple iMessage). I'm sure they exist but certainly not in the circle of people I communicate with.
That's a pretty cool use case!

Personally, I just use Nexus because it works well enough (and supports everything from OCI images to apt packages and stuff like a custom Maven, NuGet, npm repo etc.), however the configuration and resource usage both are a bit annoying, especially when it comes to cleanup policies: https://www.sonatype.com/products/sonatype-nexus-repository

That said:

> More specifically, I logged the requests issued by docker pull and saw that they are “just” a bunch of HEAD and GET requests.

this is immensely nice and I wish more tech out there made common sense decisions like this, just using what has worked for a long time and not overcomplicating.

I am a bit surprised that there aren't more simple container repositories out there (especially with auth and cleanup support), since Nexus and Harbor are both a bit complex in practice.

I was already there before the antidepressants kicked in. I would look at something and evaluate how much it would hurt, if it would work and what state I would be left in if it only kind of worked. I was also objectively in a good spot. I had a full time job with good people, a loving partner, a stable place to live, no kids and very few other stressors. I realized that there was very little I could do that I could summon the motivation for so I sought help. I was referred to a psychiatrist who put me on Prozac. There is a phrase that stuck with me that he said. He said it would give me a 'thicker skin'. I think this was key since every comment that was directed my way was over analyzed to look for signs of insult. It was as if everything in the world had a negative pressure on it. I think of it as events that happen like objects floating in water. The surface of the water is the neutral point, neither good nor bad. A comment would be like a ping pong ball, almost completely positive. Through my distorted view, it would be like a 10g weight was attached to it. It would become 90% negative and I would wonder what had prompted it. The antidepressants removed a lot of that weight so I can evaluate things without that bias. I feel like this is what people mean when they say they're drowning in sorrow. There is a weight attached to everything that makes the events more negative, less uplifting. The things that normally are buoyant don't support them anymore. I think it's the same for depression except that in sorrow, the cause is usually obvious. In depression, the swimmer is on their last few kicks. At worst, they've turned to temporary relief in the form of hard drugs that makes them bob.

Interesting. I hadn't thought of that.

I do appreciate the theoretical horror, but thank you anyway, C23! Having to cast your size_t's to ptrdiff_t's before you subtract them in order to preserve portability seems ... impractical.
Nonsense. You also have a card holder agreement with the credit card issuer and as you know they can already decide to stop conducting business with a certain merchant. So they absolutely have power in the setup and they extract healthy fees from each transaction.

This is very possible and fits the spirit of recent regulation towards “making it as easy to cancel as it is to sign up”

Ask HN: How long are your build times?
As someone who tends to code in C++, I was really impressed to hear from Pascal developers about them getting thousands of lines compiled per second in the 2000s, after all, a fast read-evaluate loop is useful when solving unknown problems.
> I think it’s just been long enough that people have forgotten the limitations of bare metal engineering.

Not just engineering, but deploying it too. I'm building a whole business around deploying it based at least partially on the fact that it has been forgotten. I've just been doing it long enough that I remember how to do it and it isn't getting any easier as the need for compute grows into even more complex and powerful hardware.
What isn’t broken nowadays?
apparently it has to do with pricing per API call.
Would the actual costs have been less, the same, or more, running on their own hardware? Processes can take longer running on your own hardware, but still have a lower TCO.
Yeah calling the EC2 API is definitely more complex than leasing datacenter space, purchasing racks of hardware, deploying a fault tolerant and secure network, capturing and managing offsite backups, dealing with hardware component failures, etc.
That’s short-sighted because it misses the fact that inventors are often not product people. There’s a big difference between creating something new and bringing it to market.

The big benefit of a functioning patent system is it allows people to make money just inventing things.

This group seems to have a “throw the baby out with the bath water” mentality when it comes to patents simply because of patent trolls, when the obvious solution is to just fix patent approval/litigation.
This just goes to show how incomparable the situation is with the Cuban missile crisis. The US has nothing to remove, because their nuclear weapons stand where they stood 40 years ago.

> As a user experience Docker is amazing, but as technology it is hot garbage.

I mean, Podman exists, as do lots of custom build tools and other useful options. Personally, I mostly just stick with vanilla Docker (and Compose/Swarm), because it's pretty coherent and everything just fits together, even if it isn't always perfect.

Either way, agreed about the concepts behind the technology making things better for a lot of folks out there, myself included (haven't had prod issues with mismatched packages or inconsistent environments in years at this point, most of my personal stuff also runs on containers).

> those disorders are often characterized by inappropriate dopamine/norepinepherine levels.

Those are secondary effects of underlying issues in ADHD, Binge-Eating, etc. The core issue is something not working well, such as in ADHD, the brain may have smaller prefrontal cortex regions (or less connected, etc) and thus have problem with self-regulation. You can sort of work around this by boosting dopamine, but it is working around the issue.

It is akin to an engine that is under powered so we figure you show to press the gas pedal harder (dopamine increases focus/effort/alert, so it is like pressing on the gas.) But the core issue is that the engine is underpowered in comparison to others. And it may be underpowered for a large variety of very specific reasons, including genetics (controlling development, or resistance to stressors), physical trauma, sleep, etc.
If you have a few hours to spare, you can search r/FoodNerds for endocrine, read through all linked abstracts in the search results, and affect your lifestyle accordingly. Obviously I don't know your specifics, but the considerations still apply.

It really isn’t. I use a combination of bare metal, VMs on those bare metal, and servers hosted at places like Digital Ocean.

Orchestration is dead simple and mostly automated using off the shelf, open source tools. If a server goes down, it’s a few minutes to replace it. The cloud based hosting is a fixed cost each month - no usage based surprises.

Meanwhile, for clients, spent huge amounts of time fixing broken Kubernetes setups and hit serious design constraints because of usage based pricing on their PaaS infrastructure like being unable to do complex queries from a database.

I wouldn’t think twice about the same query on our in house hosted DBs on $400 servers.
I hope you didn't sign-up for Signal with an AT&T-tied phone number. Else this breach would've probably exposed your PII either way.
> friction being enough to chock it ... Subscriptions (at least at first) were too highly priced

I totally agree. Subscribing to one site for, say, $5/month doesn't seem that onerous, and if it's a really, really good source of information, may be worth it. But subscribing to every website that I might want to visit a few times each month? Forget it. It's like the 'X different streaming services' problem writ much, much larger.

This is why I had so much hope in the readability approach — $5 in total, the site I visit most might get $2.50, then the next gets $1, etc.
Adding weight to the controller stands out to me. On one side, the fact materials and electronics are so small and light is awesome, on the other it might be worth making "bespoke" electronics like this in heavier and stronger materials like wood or resin. I get that the retro feel demands cheap plastic, but going forward, if we are going to DIY computers like this, we can make them to last a lot longer than the commercial world would consider.
That’s a shame. I was excited at first, but my interest in this project is now gone.
If you’re at that scale, there are plenty of other platforms that don’t have vendor lock in and overly complex, proprietary APIs by design.
> If you are dealing with consumer grade stuff that is sold a million times sure.

It's not a sure thing. Out of a bunch of mass produced monitors sharing the same model number and specs, some may still malfunction not reporting the correct EDID.
This is true. A lot of shortcut doors are very non descript too and they look like doors into some back room or warehouse you’re not supposed to enter. They do mark them on the store maps though. “You don’t have to be rich, just smart” indeed.
So, AT&T wasn’t using MFA?
