>Our results reveal that about a third of all refrigerators require repairs by the end of their fifth year of ownership, making them one of the least reliable appliances we analyze in our member surveys.
Lower transaction rates as well as lower merchant and processor liability limits.

And obnoxious individuals gum up enterprises. It's lazy to the point of dismissal to conclude based on bigness.
What adds to the absurdity is that an ancient spartan or dalmatian would have seen folks like Socrates as foreigners, and so people who descend from ancient Spartans would have no reason to feel proud of the achievements of Greek philosophy were it not for the 20th century myth of the nation state. The situation is even worse in India.

The intellectually honest account is that great people came at random from accommodating societies and cultures with the requisite technology and opportunity for those geniuses. There are countless stories of kings beheading inventors because their inventions risk offending the social order, or the gods, their pride, or some such. Just as there were in all likelihood millions of geniuses all over the world who were determined at birth to be subsistence farmers or slaves.
Incredible! Songs in the Key of X was the only album I ever knew to do this, and it wasn't even the first. I had no idea so many others did the same thing.

Well, it depends. If they have kids or some dependents those risks may need to be weighed up. Otherwise I do agree with the calculated risks
Because the cost is a lot lower. Paying a few percent of overcapacity doesn’t change that.
> US copyright does protect for "substantial similarity"

Substantial similarity refers to three different legal analyses for comparing works. In each case what the analysis is attempting to achieve is different, but in no case does it operate to prohibit similarity, per se.

The Wikipedia page points out two meanings. The first is a rule for establishing provenance. Copyright protects originality, not novelty. The difference is that if two people coincidentally create identical works, one after another, the second-in-time creator has not violated any right of the first. (Contrast with patents, which do protect novelty.) In this context, substantial similarity is a way to help establish a rebuttable presumption that the latter work is not original, but inspired by the former; it's a form of circumstantial evidence. Normally a defendant wouldn't admit outright they were knowingly inspired by another work, though they might admit this if their defense focuses on the second meaning, below. The plaintiff would also need to provide evidence of access or exposure to the earlier work to establish provenance; similarity alone isn't sufficient.

The second meaning relates to the fact that a work is composed of multiple forms and layers of expression. Not all are copyrightable, and the aggregate of copyrightable elements needs to surpass a minimum threshold of content. Substantial similarity here means a plaintiff needs to establish that there are enough copyrightable elements in common. Two works might be near identical, but not be substantially similar if they look identical merely because they're primarily composed of the same non-copyrightable expressions, regardless of provenance.

There's a third meaning, IIRC, referring to a standard for showing similarity at the pleadings stage. This often involves a superficial analysis of apparent similarity between works, but it's just a procedural rule for shutting down spurious claims as quickly as possible.

JNR failed mostly because it was struggling from high construction debts of Shinkansen and urban rail projects. One important part of the privatization was that the government took on this debt load to unshackle the newly private companies.

Also this hasn’t happened evenly. Of the seven private JRs, one (Kyushu) is treading water and three are losing money (Hokkaido, Shikoku and Freight)

On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense (2017)
Those dangers already have legal solutions without regulating speech though. Talking about some conspiracy theories isn't, and shouldn't be, a crime. Acting on them, say by trespassing or commuting acts of violence are already illegal. Depending on what authorities can prove, conspiracy to commit certain acts is already a crime.

Regulating social media isn't a solution, and definitely not the solution. For one thing, if the state officially took a role in regulating speech on social media they would be bound by constitutional powers.

You could actually see censorship on social media sites decrease when they are required to respect individuals' rights to free speech and protection from government censorship. Why do you think they currently do it quietly and behind closed doors? As long as the government isn't openly censoring us on social media the censorship isn't unconstitutional. As soon as its government regulated we will see supreme court rulings likely deciding that the government censoring speech online is unconstitutional and a violation of the first amendment.
You could test if this was the case by traveling to a high-altitude city and staying there long enough to acclimate before flying out.
The whole world is not hostile to the USA to the same level as USA/Russia, although if they're concerned about espionage yes they may need to. I'm actually a bit surprised the Snowden leaks didn't lead to a bigger push for FOSS in government, but I guess there's a cost/benefit analysis and fully keeping yourself out of reach of the US tech industry is probably too hard to be worth in general.
That ship sailed long ago. While copyright can and is used at times to protect the "little guy", the law is written as it is in order to protect and further corporate interests.

The current manifestation of copyright is about rent-seeking, not promoting innovation and creativity. That it may also do so is entirely coincidental.

It is not clear to me if you are deliberately mixing in a bunch of non-equivalent math.

You say that the average price of a used EV fell more than the average price of a used ICE as if that was a bad thing. But you do not tell us the corresponding statistic for prices of new vehicles. What if the average price of new EVs fell 50% but the average price of used EVs fell 31.8% while the average price of new ICEs rose 25% and the average price of used ICEs fell 3.6%?

In general I would consider lower EV prices to be a positive development. Your barage of numbers seems aimed at confusing the issue. Can you provide more clarity?

I had the opportunity to do just that. I was asked to address a group of about 30 college age students of about 20 different nationalities. Long story. Asked to introduce themselves you had a nice mixture of want-to-be doctors, architects, future psicologists. At least two, from India wanted your "standard" AI startup. I told them I was going to mention one or two things that I wish I could have heard myself when their age:

- Particularly those going into technical fields: Don't forget the humanities. History, philosophy. Art.-

Adding to the sibling comments:

First: every human is per se doing that already. We have – to handwave – a "reasonable person" bar to separate violations versus results of learning and new innovation.

Second: You can be a holder of copyright and your creations result in copyrightable artifacts. Anything generated by the program has been held as uncopyrightable.
This seems like it could be a good use of rump kernels, although I don't think anyone has made a bootloader based on NetBSD rump yet. I've heard of efforts to rumpify Linux but I don't know if they are continuing. This seems like it could offer the benefits of each approach. The rump kernel paper has this brief paragraph on bootloaders:

> The lowest possible target for the rump kernel hypercall layer is ﬁrmware and hardware. This adaption would allow the use of anykernel drivers both in bootloaders and lightweight appliances. A typical ﬁrmware does not provide a thread scheduler, and this lack would either mandate limited driver support, i.e. running only drivers which do not create or rely on kernel threads, or the addition of a simple thread scheduler in the rump kernel hypervisor. If there is no need to run multiple isolated rump kernels, virtual memory support is not necessary.

Interesting point. Firefighters don't carry guns, so they can't literally shoot you, but they can probably take your property and run over your dog with just as much impunity as police.

So why is it the police are the only ones who are known for taking your property and killing your dog? Maybe the property-takers and dog-killers are naturally drawn to that profession more?
While I'm personally happy with the current webcam module (although, depending on how much the standby power reduction is, that might be worth it even if I don't care about the quality improvement?), but I'm very happy that we are starting to see more of these upgrades which is a non-trivial part of the framework value proposition.

I am an American though was actually living in Europe when the capital was stormed. I was scared watching that in the middle of the night, and also confused as to how anyone pushing through barriers and doors were going through without being shot.

At least in the US though, speech is protected specifically from government censorship. Facebook can censor whatever they want, but the government can't take part in it at all. Historically, American culture has stood strongly behind free speech and we're very uncomfortable with the idea of punishing a person for what they say. Once you act on an idea that's a different story, but we have laws that already cover that.
Google is an American company, so how is that an attack vector the US government should be concerned about?

It doesn't take that much specific examples or Japanese text as an example. "Walk" could be referring to speed, a physical walkway, undesired mechanical behaviors, some sort of activism, so on. "Connect with $VAR" translates differently depending on what the $VAR is; a human, a group of humans, a computer, a webservice. The intention of a word or few words divorced from associated stimuli is simply in-determinate.

In GP's defense, I suppose there are values in butchered translation as a low-budget checkbox checker. LLM do generate a lot of great lipsums.

You could argue that a lot of parts that go into making C (or, more amusingly, cweb is a fun case study) step debug friendly were hacks. Feels that it was almost a deliberate choice not to build in the support into modern frameworks.

I agree that the web was a large part of the problem here. What I don't get is how we haven't been able to bridge that gap by now? From my vantage, it is almost completely explained by every actor involved not having any desire or incentive to work with each other. And it is baffling.

I do grant that distributed systems have always had a lot of difficulty in making things debug friendly. And it is easy to see many websites as a distributed system. But it isn't like they originated this.

Show HN: Coordinates on Each Lichess Board Square (Chrome Extension)
I really want to learn the board coordinates, but:

- Training is boring

- Voice commands (probably best way) is slow and unreliable, for now

I thought of an approach of always showing coordinates and went looking, but found only a surprisingly large number of requests, a broken Chrome extension, and what appears to be a recent implementation of this feature for the "chessground" [0], which doesn't seem to be integrated into Lichess proper.

So I assisted ChatGPT 4o in putting together a Chrome extension that does this - posting here in case anyone else is interested.

Having worked quite deeply with Jira and a host of other enterprise products that target this set of use cases, and having a pretty good understanding of what decision makers are looking for when evaluating these products for fit (I have been that person), what does "AI First" mean?

I realize AI is the hype right now and it seems like most products have to pay the AI Tax (i.e. "Yes we're doing AI stuff so you should <buy/sell/fund/etc> our stuff"). But "AI" is a nebulous category, and when a product bills itself as "<Noun>-first", it sets up an expectation that <Noun> is fundamental to the product, i.e. if you stripped all other aspects of the product away, what's left at the end is <Noun>. But I have no idea what that means in the context of the current "AI" hype.

Based on your demos, you've built a fairly standard looking ticket tracking tool that has some AI features. And those are features that every incumbent in this space started adding to their products years ago or are actively doing it now.

I mention this not because I'm trying to say your product doesn't have value, but because the way you're positioning this doesn't make a lot of sense to me. As a prospective buyer, if I'm already using an existing tool, the moment I start digging deeper to know what "AI First" means, I'll find that what this really means is "Jira but with some AI features on top", which isn't very compelling when my <Vendor> account team has been telling me all about their new AI features that I can start using on all of my existing data as soon as I upgrade, no 6-18 month migration required.

If I'm a frustrated customer of those products, AI is not the reason I'll be looking to switch, and I'd be far more likely to be interested in performance, extensibility, openness, integration capabilities, etc.

Maybe that's not the type of customer you intend to target, but if you hope to reach them, I leave this as food for thought. Best of luck to you.
To be clear, I'm not envisioning complete automation—I'm envisioning a human game designer using these tools to make building out an idea much faster and with lower risk.
>Part of the original problem was too many of the wrong kind of people becoming -- or remaining -- police in the first place.

There are always going to be some bad actors in any profession. Being violent to an appropriate extent is part of being a cop. When billionaires fund social media psyops to convince people that their friendly neighborhood cops are out to get them, and they'd be better off without police protection, that distorts public perception of police performance.

Perceived problems with police need to be investigated carefully. Stirring the public into a frenzy every time some cop looks bad on video is harmful to everyone.

>It's reasonable to apply that same high bar to police, who have much greater latitude in exercising that power, up to and including the power to kill their fellow citizens, than doctors do.

No, it's not reasonable to expect police to go through a similar amount of rigor as a doctor. The job just isn't that complex, and there is nothing inherent about possibly killing people that requires a comparable amount of training. If being a cop did require such rigors, we couldn't afford to have police at all.

>I don't think any young person who likes the idea of being able to walk around with a gun on their hip, being a police officer, anymore than I think any young person who likes cutting people open should become a surgeon.

There's nothing wrong with walking around with a gun on your hip, whether you're a cop or not. I get what you're trying to say but there's only so much anyone can do to discern anyone's internal motivations for picking a career. As long as those motivations aren't evil or likely to interfere with their job performance, I don't care.

If you want to develop a personal brand in some area, such as entrepreneurship, then you need to run a blog focused on that issue.

At the risk of exaggerating, “my whole life” blogs are for young people and for people who don’t care about building an audience. LiveJournal was for teenagers.

The more specific the blog, the more you are able to develop an audience for that niche.

By contrast, a blog that contains everything in your life will only appeal to your friends.

There is a deceptive almost exception: people who are funny. They seem to break the rule. They seem able to talk about whatever they want, and they still have an audience. But in that case, they actually have a niche: humor. Everything they write is funny, so people who like humor read it all.

But unless you are reliably funny, stick to narrow topics.
Buy a refrigerator without an ice maker or any "features." Most refrigerator reliability issues stem from these extra features. Compressors (the core component actually responsible for cooling the freezer and fridge) are going to fail at about the same rate across brands and models, from a bottom of the line whirlpool to top of the line Miele or kitchen aid. Compressor failure is not common.

A basic fridge like this will last you a long time: https://www.costco.com/whirlpool-20-cu.-ft.-top-freezer-refr...

If you really want all the reliability money can buy, buy a subzero fridge. But you're paying 10x for the same functionality (unless you really need extremely stable temperatures).
This is awesome. About five years ago I wanted to solve the same problem of tracking my pots and glazes. I also noticed the many:many relationship very quickly and deliberated on the schema. Neo4j looked really cool but I think I ended up going with join tables (ie pots, glazes, pot_glaze) in Postgres. I think I didn’t get nearly as far as you did in a weekend though!

Lately I hack in firebase and have been interested in trying supabase. I’ll have to add instantdb to my list.
