For Skyline, I don’t think you can discount all of the years of political effort to try to cancel it. All that work did was just to slow it down and make it more expensive and risky for the companies involved.

In theory, starting in West Oahu made sense because it’s cheaper to build out there, and TOD will grow the tax base to support the urban stations, but you have to actually build something for that to work.
> As per the proposal, which has been paused for now following backlash from IT workers, “An employee working in IT/ITeS/BPO sector may be required or allowed to work for more than 12 hours in a day and not exceeding 125 hours in three continuous months.”

Currently, the law in Karnataka (India) allows a maximum of 10 hours of work per day, including overtime. This has been completely replaced with the proposed 12-hours workday.

Business Standard reports ( https://www.business-standard.com/industry/news/it-workers-p... ):

> In recent years, the intense work culture in the IT industry has come under scrutiny due to its profound effects on employees' health and well-being. Several studies and surveys highlight the detrimental impacts of long working hours, which are prevalent among IT employees in India. According to a Knowledge Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) report, 45 per cent of employees in the IT sector are facing mental health issues such as depression and 55 per cent are facing physical health impacts. Increasing working hours will further aggravate this situation. It indicates that 50 per cent of IT employees in India work more than 9 hours a day, averaging 52.5 hours a week. This is significantly higher than the typical 36-40 hours per week observed in other countries ... "The same study shows that more than half of the IT employees face physical health issues. Common physical ailments among IT employees include back and neck pain, eyesight issues, intense headaches, Vitamin D deficiency, and insomnia," he added. Additionally, 74 per cent of IT employees miss family events due to extended work hours, reflecting a significant work-life imbalance.

The current Government in Karnataka has claimed that it is under pressure from corporates. Last year, Infosys chairman had faced criticisms for his "advise" that youngsters should be willing to work for more than 70+ hours a week for the sake of the country's development:

> Infosys co-founder Naranyana Murthy has caused intense debate in India and around the world, after comments he made relating to the work-ethic of young people. Murthy suggested young people should be willing to work for 70 hours per week as a matter of national pride ... ( https://www.consultancy.uk/news/35823/infosys-founder-calls-... )

His wife later claimed that her husband used to even work 90+ hours ....
How is chrome vastly better than Edge ? They feel pretty similar but Edge support uBlock Origin on manifest V2.
Google I use 40 percent of the time vs. 60 percent chatGPT. Google is definitely on the start of a decline!
Cremation makes me sad.

At my little country parish, we do burials in-house, including preparing the body. The friends of the deceased get to grieve by washing them, building their coffin, digging the grave, singing the funeral, lowering them by hand, and burying them.

After doing this, I can't imagine giving the body of a loved one to a funeral director to be burned.
Interestingly, Apple Maps' new beta doesn't work on Linux at all, even with Chrome, so I can't see it. They say it works on Chrome on Windows or Mac, but apparently Apple doesn't like Linux very much.
If Firefox dies, the antitrust case against Chrome is sure to follow. The only thing really stopping Chrome from full domination right now is the iPhone, and the EU is going to move that stumbling block out of the way, if they haven’t already. I don’t live there, so I didn’t commit the current state to memory.
My personal fave structure remains the radix trie. But, I increasingly find that a dict/hash operates pretty damn well for the simple cases. The nice thing about a trie is how it finds the covering and more specific prefixes.

Awk hashes are also dense and fast.
This is written in focus mode. Once you're out of that, remember to grieve. So, so important. I can't imagine my brother dying, love and prayers to you and his family.
The cops don't do much about bike theft. The perpetrators are the homeless, and they're basically untouchable. They have no assets, they can't pay any fines, and it's too expensive to keep them in jail.

Edit to add: It would be nice if they at least recovered the bikes and returned them to their owners but it seems like if they can't collect fines or put someone in prison they aren't interested. It woudn't be hard. Go to the local homeless hangouts. Any bikes nicer than what you could buy at Walmart are stolen, and most of the other ones are too. Run the serial numbers against theft reports and load them out.
> These don't bring in revenue all by themselves
Thus they're not eggs at all, either golden or otherwise

Ad sales is their golden egg. Practically everything else is an egg truck to sell that one thing.
I would be a believer if when I navigate to your website you'd say "well, hello Mr. ....." heck, I'd buy.
>These are the statistics underlying the reality that in San Francisco; Washington, D.C.; Boston; Atlanta; and many other major cities in the U.S., not a single mile of rail transit is currently under construction.

Here are some of the current U.S. cities with rail projects under construction:

Los Angeles, California - Extensions to the existing light rail network

Denver, Colorado - Commuter rail lines

San Diego, California - New light rail extensions

Seattle, Washington - Ongoing Commuter rail lines

Minneapolis, Minnesota - Southwest Light Rail Transit (SWLRT) project
And then them making to along I-90 instead of 520 also doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'd LOVE a fast line from the east side to U-district. But I don't understand the logic behind the current scheme.
The heart of the problem is that cars became popular for the majority of the people due to freedom and convenience, causing most of the infrastructure to focus on them. The existing public transit saw worse service and problems such as crime or cleanliness. New projects become more difficult and costly to build, and were hijacked for political causes. Willingness to fund even the existing projects fell.

Nobody wants to ride public transit that is unreliable/late, has limited service times/areas, prone to strikes, dirty or unsafe, etc. It's easier and/or better to own a car or Uber in most areas. It's not really going to improve since we're stuck in a catch-22.
I've frequently found better results by using the !g when searching for technical docs and other programming-related stuff.

But for more everyday, non-programming things, I've frequently found the regular DDG results (from Bing) actually better and less filled with SEO crap than Google's.
> What do you find mind-blowing about this pic?

Not the OP, but the massive concentration of naval ships (literally to the horizon), beach landing, and the (to modern eyes) surreal presence of barrage balloons all together in one picture is pretty mind blowing. I mean, just imagine all that activity.
I guess that is yet another thing people can have very different opinions on.

Everything you just mentioned sounds absolutely horrific to me. I would never want my family and friends to do any of that to me, nor would I do it for them.
> but disagree on how much mathematical understanding is truly necessary to apply or advance ML

We do not disagree on this point. I have been explicitly clear about this and stated it several times. And this is the last instance I will do so.

We do disagree on one thing, but it isn't about math, science, or ML. If you would like to have a real conversation, I would be happy to. But it is required that you respond in good faith and more carefully read what I've written. I expect you to respect my time as much as I've respected yours.

You should be prod of your credentials and the work you've accomplished. I intimately understand the hard work it takes to achieve each one of those things, but I don't want to have a pissing contest or try to diminish yours. You should be proud of them. But if you want to take your anger out on someone, I suggest going elsewhere. HN is not the place for that and I personally will have none of it.

Looking around, I'm seeing reports of 1.4-1.5V core voltages using Intel's stock profiles, with some even going to 1.7V. That's insanely high for a 10nm process and I'm not surprised about the degradation. For comparison, in the 45/32nm days 1.2-1.3V was the norm, with some extreme overclockers (who don't expect CPUs to survive for more than a few minutes, using liquid nitrogen etc.) hitting ~1.5V, and 1.4V was a commonly quoted safe upper limit for 24x7 operation.
I don't know why people keep speculating that this would be the ruling.

Paying for default placement is a simple commercial transaction that only becomes problematic when you're already a monopoly and can spend 10% of your billions in revenue to stay on top and keep smaller contenders out. Is there anything in what the judge has said that would suggest that they view the simple act of having a paid default as being anti-competitive in and of itself?
Is experience necessary for Junior Role ?
Youtube, gmail, photos, etc etc etc - absolutely everything consumer facing is a channel for the ad business.

The only potential outlier is the cloud stuff, but even then I think it's essentially a 'economies of scale' thing, for the same reason Amazon started AWS, rather than a real revenue centre.
I think it’s reasonable not everyone feels the same way about this. I’d prefer for my body not to be washed nor placed in a coffin.
All you get to decide is where in the cycle you want to deposit their carbon.

It doesn’t really matter either way. Whatever helps you grieve is the best way.
Oh definitely, we can't discount the effects of lobbying efforts.

It very clearly should have gone from the airport to Waikiki Beach (or at the very least Ala Monana center), which would have actually taken tourist traffic off the roads. But if it did that, those tourists might not rent cars or take taxis! The rental car lobby and taxi lobby don't like that one bit.
So really it's just a loss for everyone all around. But at least nobody is being anti-competitive I guess.
I think it all depends. My family is very dispersed. Many would need to get visas just to attend my funeral if I die here, and spend thousands on airplane fees on short notice. I would love to be burned and my ashes distributed among my family instead. Give each one a little necklace or ring or something with a piece of me, and give me adventure after my spirit has passed.
This. Mozilla is a giant dead tree in the middle of the forest depriving any saplings from the sunlight needed for them to take its place. If the corporation can't exist without Google funding, then it's effectively a department of Google and should be killed off so that other _independent_ orgs take its place.
I also left DDG, but have been very satisfied with Brave's search. [1] They also have a nice optional LLM system built in that provides citations to what it says, which is pretty neat. They also have 'goggles' which enable you to apply or create a chosen filter to reorder/refilter results. So e.g. getting news while blocking partisan sites (or indulging our own partisan preferences), searching only tech blogs, blocking big tech sites, searching for video/audio from non-YouTube sources or whatever else. Lots of neat stuff that I'm surprised other sites haven't cloned yet.

>They feel pretty similar but Edge support uBlock Origin on manifest V2.

For now. Don't expect it to last: Edge is just a re-skin of Chromium, so after V2 support is completely removed by Google, Edge will have to follow along or fork the code.
When I was out there The Bus was great. By far one of the best public transit I've seen in the US (clean, mostly on time, seemed pretty safe, fairly priced). I believe I took some sort of light rail for a few trips as well. I suspect a lot of the tourist money helps.
Need Feedback on Soil – AI Generated Webpages with Data CRUD
It's not just market forces though; most municipalities in the US legally mandate a focus on cars. For example, most downtown areas in the US are pre-existing, as they're largely illegal to build today due to mandatory off-street parking minimums among other onerous requirements.
You don't get to pay other companies to keep out your competitors when you're as big as Google. It's as simple as that.

How do you make it easy to stay proficient? For example you say your plane will never stall, will your pilots train stall recognition and recovery regularly? How will prevent something like what happened to AF447?
While the rest of the allopathic information seems right to me, this is a common gardening myth:

> Pine Needles: Their acidity can alter soil PH.

The soil near pine trees is usually acidic, but the causality is reversed. Pine trees grow well in acidic soil, so that's where they are.

Pine needles themselves are somewhat acidic. As are things like coffee grounds. So it is commonly repeated advice to mulch acid-loving plants like blueberries and azaleas with those materials. However their acid is neutralized during the process of breaking down and they do not actually acidify the soil.
Many of us are farmers. We see death plenty. Ignoring it or outsourcing it doesn't make it go away, and I don't believe it's healthy.

Burying my friend was hard. It was sad. I had a constant reminder of my own fate in front of my eyes. It's a deeply human experience, and I think that everyone should go through it.

The death I see in my normal life is much worse. I recently had to put a baby goat down. Can you imagine looking a baby goat who adores you in the eyes, then shooting it between those eyes? That shit hurts deep.

tl;dr: it's life, don't run away from it.
I'm developing an on-chain business asset marketplace. WDYT?
Simply put, we’re building LayerMarket, an online marketplace to buy and sell business assets, such as Datasets and IP, on top of Ethereum and Layer 2 networks (Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism).

We’ve made some exciting updates to the platform based on user feedback and market trends this summer.

Some of the key updates to review/test are:
1) New Payment Options: We've expanded our payment capabilities to include stablecoins. This addition provides users with more flexibility and stability in their transactions.
2) Enhanced Documentation: We've created a comprehensive "How to Use" guide, specifically designed for users new to L2 applications. This guide aims to make the onboarding process smoother and more accessible for all users.
3) Updated Testnet Contracts: We've deployed new smart contracts on our supported testnets (Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism).
4) Testnet Stablecoin Integration: In line with our new payment options, we've successfully integrated stablecoin functionality on our testnets. This allows users to test and familiarize themselves with stablecoin transactions in a risk-free environment.
5) Overall Documentation Updates: We've updated the copy throughout our documentation to reflect our niche focus on being a marketplace for business assets, to reflect updates to interfaces for specific smart contracts, and more.

Given we only started ~2 months ago (definitely could be buggy), we’d love to get a small group of people to review/test these updates and/or leave some thoughts on the updates. Thanks!
A bug report: the demo on the website doesn't work when you have a non-Latin (e.g. Cyrillic) keyboard layout active.
I don't find it sad but your tradition sounds nice too. In the US, like most everything else, there are way too many rules and regulations and official processes around the simple, human experience of death.
Wow, if Google had hired you, your insight would've saved them many billions every single year! They're such fools for spending all that money when it had absolutely no impact on their position in the market!

>if you're asking how they're a monopoly, i answered you. if you want to debate whether the judge was right or wrong, maybe phrase your question less like a question.

okay, i will. in fact, i also answered you, so I'll just link to my other answer again:

I'm in the US—Tennessee, specifically. There are far fewer rules than you might think. Most of the rules that do exist apply only to funeral homes.

If you want to be buried on your land, for example, you have to check with the county office to make sure you're not going to leach corpse juice into a water table, and so that future people know not to build on your grave. That's it.
You're also missing the power of reputation. It takes time to build a good reputation, and it takes a really long time to overcome a bad reputation. MS built itself a really bad reputation, especially with browsers, so even if (hypothetically speaking) Edge were as good as Chrome now, it would still take a very long time to overcome the terrible reputation they earned with IE.

Apple doesn't have this problem.
I was incredibly lucky the smallish town (40k pop) I went to college in had some remarkably good transportation I had never seen before. There was a bus that cost $.50 per ride circa 2010 and went to about a dozen locations within 20 miles, two different shopping centers (their main attractions being Walmarts but still), the university, the community college, several neighborhoods, and downtown locations, among a few others. Second there was a rental car option through the university where anyone with a drivers license and and a debit or credit card could use it (eg you didn’t have to be 25 or have a credit card). You could reserve time slots in advance online, and it was only $5 and hour or so. There were multiple cars.

The bus eventually went up to $1 per ride but I still think about these two options and wish my town had something like it. With a few small improvements I don’t see why we can’t reasonably subsidize these relatively cheap options in most towns/small cities. The rental car one would be harder, but even the bus would suffice. It notably didn’t stop at any grocery stores, only Walmarts so that’s another thing to improve. But I’d give up my car in a second for that bus back home.

I’m not even sure if this is still their active website http://0060325.netsolhost.com/about.htm but it gives you a picture of what I’m talking about. There’s either another service or a replacement that is $2.00 instead of $1.00 that goes by DCT from what I can tell. I don’t live there anymore so hard to know the current setup. I’m really underselling how good that bus was/is.
>"bootstrap a service" is close to the most open-ended topic you might pick

right, but I figured the open-endedness and bootstrap a service implied pretty strongly -

It's never been amazing, but I don't remember every having actual usability issues until the last maybe year or so.
somehow tabelog seems pretty legit compared to yelp. maybe there are issues in the japanese bubbles idk about and cant participate in. but on a trip to japan following that site led me to some amazing meals.

Some of these problems seems like the cause is because its hard to complain in person. I guess we all get labeled "karens" now for showing any kind of negative feedback in person, so we just suck it up and never go back and maybe leave a negative review.

i dont really rely on yelp, there's to many people with poor to average taste. google maps is ok, but same issue with taste. like the complaints people leave on some top tier restaurants are crazy.

eater has led me to some great restaurants locally and abroad. when traveling ill look at travel and food shows, or look and see whats busy, get local recommendations. one of my most memorable meals in bali was a rec from a kid working a cash register.
"They simply have a better product"

I disagree. 100% they had a better product, but they have absolutely mangled it over the last few updates. Honestly, if I wanted the opinion of randomnumbers45123 on Reddit, I'd just search Reddit.

Google achieved dominance ~25 years ago by being better than the alternatives, and the other search engines pretty much withered away rapidly. They (Google) are in a very precarious position right now. They will certainly not disappear overnight, but if / when the public becomes aware of something better, the implosion could be spectacular.
Race riots put Britain on collision course with Elon Musk
Those mandates are due to the market forces. Go ahead and build a building without parking. Tenants or customers are going to bring their cars anyways and try to find street parking, or they'll go somewhere else. If you make it inconvenient for car and the other option is inconvenient public transit, then people will just look for alternative housing or stores that are more convenient.
ProductHunt category popularity 2020-present
I’d say, as beneficial. But as you say, not as straightforward. One if the reasons functional programming is popular is because it makes it easier to test, but it’s not that other code needs less testing.
Once one of my favorite underground artists deleted his album that was available on soundcloud. I messaged the guy without expecting any response, imagine how shocked I was when the guy made the album public on bandcamp just for me so I could download it for free. No way, I had to buy it
But also, why is it hard, expensive, and slow for the U.S. to build anything public?
Public transit people don't value their time? I wonder about the people stuck on I-76 as I pass over them on the regional rail here in Philly. Sure I deal with a late train now and then. But those people deal with center city traffic every day twice a day.
What exactly is the "serious problem" of it?
Why not just let market forces handle that then?

If no one is going to go to my shop with no parking, that's fine. Let it get built, and then let it die due to lack of business. No need for any heavy-handed mandates.
We did, unfortunately the foundation of our society and economy is built on the assumption that the age pyramid is not reverse. Expect hard times ahead.
I have written about the role of urban green spaces, such as golf courses, as taking an active, and mandated role on this issue: https://golfcoursewiki.substack.com/p/golf-for-non-golfers-g...

I love golf and hate that it's often a deeply problematic game, when, if we line the out-of-play areas with native flora, they have high enough area, and low enough humans per sq mile, that they can be effective wildlife habitats... if only the players would be satisfied with non-pristine conditions, by not using herbicides and pesticides. This is happening here and there with municipal courses in CA, but the culture of golf is still focused on surreal conditions and monostand grasses.

It's an imperfect solution, but as spawl and farmland eat up more and more native areas, I honestly don't have much of an idea what else to do.
Have you been saving that one for a rainy day?

One of the counterpoint is vim not being available on Windows. But It is.

Not by default, but most critical stuff aren't there by default anyway and vim will be one of the easiest block to have ready.

Then Windows comes with WSL, where I think most people who even care in passing about vim will spend their time, so we're back to the editor they'd use on Linux anyway.

That was to me the main reason I went with Vim when I first touched an nuix system, and to this day that's still a good enough reason to keep using it where a full IDE isn't required.

Any system I've seen had a simple enough way to get vim, that hasn't changed.
