Who decides "what workers deserve" ?

The way I see it, if you want something fair it can't be solely the worker nor solely the employer.

And the governement would be too easy to be pushed too far one way or the other, depending on political climate.

Which is why unions should be pushed more, so employers and employee can negotiate than on equal terms (and not employer versus single employee).

Not american, and that's how it is here, and frankly it's not perfect but it seems a lot better than hope your employer has some decency to give you breadcrumbs and if not oh well tough luck.

> Most major vendors add it themselves because google refuses to put it in stock. Samsung calls it smart view, for instance. My phone calls it screencast.

No, as said, vendors add it themselves because the core functionality is now provided and maintained by the vendor of the device-chipset. A generic AOSP ("stock") implementation was proven to be inferior to a custom Miracast component tailored for i.e. Qualcomm DSP/GPU, that's why AOSP didn't continue maintaining it.

Pharmacies have strict requirements for drug storage and the like (source: wife is a pharmacist). It is possible that being adapted for a big pharmacy makes a space unsuitable for other uses?

As the article points out, the big box pharmacies have been replaced by smaller more drug focused ones, it's just the big chain heavy retail footprint places that are fewer in number. But those new pharmacies aren't going into the big spaces of the old, and it's possible that the needs for C2 storage, cold storage, etc. make it more difficult to work with the space for a purely retail or food concept.

Yep. The fact that they're not so convenient anymore is just one more nail in their coffin.

In my case, I used to go to a Rite-Aid for my meds, even though it was less convenient, because (1) they recognized me when I walked up, (2) if there was a problem, a human would take care of it, and (3) there was never much of a wait.

The store was always near empty, which was the mark of doom. They closed it and sent me over to a Walgreen's, which sucked big time. So now I get stuff by mail. The customer service is not any worse, really.

> Big box drug stores are dinosaurs

One of the few categories of store I still visit in person. Often it's stuff I want immediately, sometimes I wanna hold and look at packages, sometimes it's prescriptions and it's easier to just pick those up.

I used to live in Dubai, which is the "instant app delivery" capital of the universe, in my experience -- nowhere else I've been comes close, including SE Asian capitals -- I even got my annual flu jab from a nurse I ordered online from an Everything App and had it during a Zoom call. Anyway, the one type of retail that remains absolutely ubiquitous there? Drug stores, admittedly ones that you can also just WhatsApp and will deliver to you.
The fact that Russia's valuation of their own soldiers life is off doesn't mean killing one soldier isn't worth a thousand bucks.

Even if you discount the tactical effect of losing soldiers in battle, just the gear of the soldier is worth more than a thousand dollars already (just ballistic vest + riffle is enough to pass this very low bar)
This is all about stock price and sucks to be dell since the price is still falling at this point.
Welcome to America, where companies know they can fire easily so they hire easily. Strong competition between employers benefits employees. That is why salaries in the USA are so much higher than those in Europe. But hey, at least we’re not “exploited” here in the old EU. We're just being paid peanuts…

You certainly didn't bother to do that, and "2 months is generous because it's above average" might be a lazy argument and perpetuates the status quo, but it's certainly orders of magnitude better than no argument.
Show HN: I made a super-simple, free RSS reader with companion Chrome extension
I’ve used a variety of RSS readers over the years and they never quite hit the mark for me, so I decided to start building my own.

https://feedgrab.net

It’s a very early PoC but fully functional. It’s a PWA (I use it mainly on mobile) and it has a companion Chrome extension for highlighting when the current page has an available feed (click to save, like Instapaper).

I plan to add some discovery features (once I have a critical mass of feed data). Right now the onboarding is poor, sorry.

Other things I plan to add:

* Download full articles when the RSS is truncated

* Safari and Firefox extension

* Mobile share sheet support

No idea how to monetise it other than increasing the refresh time (1 hour right now) and max feeds (250 right now). Maybe page saving too, like Instapaper. Other ideas welcome! :-)

Let me know what you think!

Look at Canada or Russia and you see what will happen. It will be too cold to grow most crops as well as today, but it wont be another ice age, humans will still survive in the area albeit you might need a bit more energy to heat your homes and food will be blander or rely on imports (food diversity coming from imports wouldn't be very different from today though...).

Climate change ensures no ice age will happen again for millions of years, the ice age happened since earth was extremely low on Co2 it wont happen at the rates we have now.

I replaced my Nests with a couple of $25 Centralite Zigbee thermostats and drive it via HomeAssistant running on a Raspberry Pi, and I'm significantly happier with it than I ever was with the Nest.

Nudge: An ultrasound headset to enhance human experience
Yeah, that was a common issue with me. I had significantly worse issues though, my chromecast would hard lock and/or have very strange visual glitches that required a reboot to fix, typically about 10-20 minutes into playing something. That's if I even got to that point because half the time it would just refuse to actually play anything without a reboot 95% of the time I went to use it.

I thought the company would collapse after firing 80% of staff, and for a long time I kept arguing that Twitter was still in the "Wile E Coyote ran off the edge of the cliff but didn't fall yet" phase where they were running on pure momentum. I must admit, as time goes by, it's harder and harder to argue that. I just can't believe that 80% of the company was really just not needed. Every company I've ever worked at was lean to the point where they almost couldn't get anything done due to lack of people. I can't imagine a company that could lose 80% of their people and keep on trucking.
As someone who lives in NYC, there is VERY VERY little brazen theft. Vastly less than would be warranted to lock everything as they do.

It's surprising to me that employee shrink is never looked at as an issue. I personally think that is much more of an issue.

Why do you need comments in machine generated files meant for other machines?
I often can't even find someone with a key to open the cabinets. At my CVS there's usually just a security guard, who can't open the cabinets. If you need detergent, beer, shampoo, razors, or pretty much anything else you're out of luck.

Lack of availability isn't even my main concern though. In this environment, everyone needs to order everything online. So instead of one truck making a shipment to CVS (I'm oversimplifying), now you have additional delivery vans and ebikes making door to door shipments, each with extra packaging.

edit to clarify my stance in the context of the GP: I strongly dislike ordering things online when there is (or should be) a local alternative, and only use delivery services as a last resort
Yes, it is still 100% possible with the real Chromecast. My TV also has an option to cast to it (not sure what it uses under the hood) but it is similarly restricted.

And man, oh man, wouldn’t we all just love a device with a free cell modem and a data plan ripe for the hacking?

IOW, if it has been done, hackaday, et al., would have already shown us how to bypass the weak obfuscation and get free data. Or at least an article on “my new Samsung TV has a cell modem that they don’t advertise. ‘da fuq?”
I wonder how they'll fuck it up.

I have one and I've never used the 'cast' feature. I only run the apps for the streaming services i watch plus VLC.

Somehow I think this will be impossible in the new and improved version...

It wasn't any kind of important data. It was a copy of some stuff I had made to bring to a meeting 20 years ago that's still readily available. If the data was important I wouldn't have left it on degrading optical media that I didn't trust.

Also, the whole point of DVD-RWs was to replace stuff like floppies or Zip disks when you are sneakernetting things around. The same way you use uSD or thumb drives these days. They were never meant for long term archiving, if you were doing that you would use DVD-R or DVD+Rs instead.
So, reducing car emissions by a just 1% would be way better for the environment than entirely removing all piston engine aviation.

There are about 15m cars sold in the US every year, but around 1500 piston engine planes. That's a factor of 10,000. There are some 210m cars in use in the USA, but around 150k piston engine planes. That's a factor of 1400 (reflecting the fact that planes have a much longer life than cars, further contributing to their lower environmental impact).

Every day, cars burn more fuel than light airplanes burn in a year.

An unfortunate truth about large tech companies is the amount of fluff on payroll. Layoffs are often just a basic cleansing.
The absolutely killer feature of the Chromecast is that I can have guests over (or be visiting someone), and anyone can stream any content they're authorized for. Movies I've bought can be watched anywhere there's a Chromecast; my buddy can come over and we can watch something together with his Paramount+ subscription. Keeping the accounts and authorization linked to personal devices, and letting the Chromecast essentially be a way to translate that to a bigger screen without having to actually stream it out of your pocket is fantastic.
That's a mind virus, folks.
That's true, but supercomputers are somewhat conceptually similar to GPUs, so it seems like a better comparison to illustrate technological progress. Comparing mainframes and GPUs is comparing apples and oranges.
I think another option to consider would be running your own overpass server with a local copy of the data subsets you want, then using something like python's osmnx to do "native" queries.

It’s by design. There was some cyber practice doc years ago calling out how outbound ssh is a security risk because it can’t be monitored. And they’re afraid people will steal data and send it out without network security knowing.

I hated the policy because I loved outbound ssh tunnels to get around blocked websites (ie, no gmail). But I kind of understand it because dumb people will do dumb things and they can’t differentiate people who will use appropriate judgement.

But I’ve found that eventually every large org I’ve worked for ends up blocking ssh.

You host it yourself. It's an email marketing platform (not an email server), but you use AWS SES as an email infrastructure because it is cheap and reliable. You cannot build or host your own infrastructure since emails are hard these days, you use AWS SES or alternative to send emails like most of these services and apps do. It's so easy to get blocked or blacklisted by other email providers.

>It seems like the bare-bones experience of a Chromecast being is getting replaced with an Apple TV like experience.

Weird thing about this is the best thing about Chromecast is it’s not an Apple TV form factor and experience and the worst thing about Apple TV is it’s not a Chromecast style stick.

I just don’t see where a TV would even exist that doesn’t offer what’s in the box built in already, but I definitely know a lot of TVs where Chromecast or AirPlay just doesn’t work on the base unit.
...you mean Whole Foods?
Not OP, but I imagine they're getting at the fact that you only need a job because of lifestyle choices you make, and if you drastically cut back on that, you could work far less than you currently do.
I love how you blame the stores rather than the criminals and the government that turns a blind eye towards theft.

If we had a culture that scandalized theft, and a justice system that penalized such behavior with real teeth, then goods wouldn't have to be locked up and "customers" treated with suspicion.

Show HN: 1-FPS encrypted screen sharing for introverts
I wanted to show you something I was hacking on for the last few weeks.

I tired of sharing screen via Google Meet with 1-hour limitation, with Zoom and 40-minute limitation, etc. With paid Slack subscription. And often times I just needed to screenshare with no audio.

So I ended up with my own solution - no registration, low memory, low CPU, low tek 1 fps encrypted screen sharing. Currently sharing only the main screen (good for laptop users).

It's very raw in terms of infrastructure, since I'm not counting bytes (yikes!), everything works on my own dedicated server. But the service itself has been tested, we've been sharing screens for countless hours. All sessions last for 48 hours, then it gets removed with all remaining info.

Every new frame replaces the other, and everything is end-to-end encrypted so even server owners and operators won't be able to see what are you sharing.

There is also no tracking, except the main page - and I use my own analytics. Sessions are not getting tracked and never will be, and observability currently is not in place.

Again, this is a true one-person side hacking project I hope (but I have serious doubts) I might need to scale if it's getting traction to support more users.

Nice. Last November I wrote a implementation of a type checker for the STLC in typescript using mogensen-scott encoding. The idea is that data is represented by its eliminator, so you kind of get pattern matching in javascript.

I had been playing around with the idea and thought I'd try a larger example to see how painful it was to work with. I don't think I would build anything bigger with that technique, though.

The recent double stabbing near 14th & 1st was a mentally ill guy in a drug deal dispute in which he was paying via stolen merchandise. People interviewed described him as a regular who would barter his stolen goods for whatever he needed (in the NYT before someone accuses me of reading the wrong sources).

Whats your take on protomaps?
None the less, at the heart of the matter it comes down to economics. Russia's GDP vs the colective West's says who's going to win this one - at least, assuming it goes to the long haul and nothing changes (which of course it will, unexpectedly, at some point).

Also the Ukrainians are fighting for survival from the top of the country to the bottom (motivation makes a big difference). For the other side, the view at the top is very different from the view of those going into the fight (often unwillingly) at the bottom.
This feels more like they're actually killing this product, because the replacement is far too expensive.

So it will no longer appeal to market in the same way.

So I think this means that Google sees that there's not enough profit in the low end Internet Smart features for HDMI anymore.
