Personally, I don't view single-site search, like TikTok and Amazon, as an alternative to a general purpose search engines like Google.
Not sure this is really an Apple thing. Basically all the tech companies have released some VR or AR product that either flopped, or was downgraded to a niche industry product.

Ask HN: What should I buy in Japan?
About 15 years ago I went to Japan. There I bought some simple precision screw drivers on a whim that I still use regularly. They were inexpensive but seem very well made and have held up great. I’m going back soon and need some ideas for other quality small tools or household items.
Why do the glasses look photoshopped on to the models? Surely it wouldn’t have been that hard to take a photo of someone actually wearing them.
And their labor on its own isn't as valuable. Nobody goes to watch stage hands and security guards. There is money to be made because the celebrity exists.
All we really need is the ability to check someone's power level anyway, what the hell else would convince me to put digital glasses on for!?
> You exude this pompous ideological facade

Your comment comes off as extraordinarily defensive and projective.

> oh, so you are "one of those"

It starts off here, immediately from a judgemental and pompous position. You immediately generalize me, then project several ideas and behaviors onto both me and the people I interact with.

> You even have paragraphs about how vegetables and meat are basically the same in every way - except for flavor, nutrition, taste, enjoyment

Reread the comment. I and the other commenter were discussing preparation time, and only preparation time and shelf-life. Please do not project a straw man argument onto me, I said nothing regarding flavor, nutrition, taste or enjoyment or them being "the same in every way".

But since you bring it up, I do love the flavor of many vegetables, I can get my full proteins and nutrition from plant sources, and I enjoy cooking and eating them.

> P.S. Fishing is destroying massive amounts of ecosystems, too.

Absolutely! And we should also severely limit our fish intake. I see that you're trying to justify your own lifestyle by attempting to point out hypocrisy within mine, however your assumptions about my diet are flawed.

> Might be time to bite the bullet and just do veganism. Then you can lord over the lowly cheese eaters and pescos.

And the grand stroke, in which you proved yourself to be exactly the kind of ignorant, judgemental person I just described, who gets defensive and triggered over conversations about reducing meat intake. Please keep your generalizations to yourself.

What a disgusting comment.

Isn't tenure at your current place of employment also a function of career growth, both monetary and non-monetary? IMHO, there is no point staying at a company if it "takes you for granted" even if you are performing well.

I'm sure we all have read about many companies giving new recruits substantially higher pay for the same role, creating resentment amongst the existing staff.
To the downvoters: I said I don't find merit in the suggestion that using 'fu' (or 'foo' as a function name) would be considered to constitute profanity. When learning programming, I simply learned 'foo, 'bar' and 'baz' as silly-sounding example function names. I didn't make any connection from 'foo' in the CS context to 'fubar' in US military slang till over a decade later.

(Neglecting that there weren't many women in CS in the 1960s. I don't even see that the word-fragment would have been considered offensive in civilian context, esp. to non-US speakers of English)

Sunglasses do seem to be taking the piss more than other items. An expensive pair of leather shoes can easily be justified by the cost of the materials, manual labor, build quality, and extended lifespan over cheaper options.

While sunglasses seem to be a bit of injection moulded plastic with some lenses for a 20x markup.
Each time it happens, it needs to be news to name and shame the companies. Unfortunately, once you've bought the product, it's game over for privacy. So this info needs to be explicitly available for each product/company so that when future buyers are researching, they might be able to stumble upon these articles.

Product reviewers need to explicitly state that the cameras/mics/whatevs of devices have been used for nefarious purposes other than what is advertised on the box.

But we should not just sweep everything under the rug because a couple of nerds "knows about it" because there's a heck of a lot more people that do not.

You sound like you are fundamentally unsuited to the device. You move around a lot and don't like being isolated. I work in my Quest 3 primarily because it isolates me and takes over my whole sensory system. I love going to work on beaches, mountain tops, or co-working with friends or colleagues virtually. You sound like you want literally the opposite of all that.
This looks very smart, it’s like a SolidJS that is web-component native first and foremost. I like this framework substantially more than the previous web component systems I’ve seen that feel much more like “library” and it’s a bit choose your own adventure. I am a fan of React/Solid so I appreciate that Brisa has a lot of nice React things like tree of function components and taking care attribute vs property difference. I’m not sure how I feel about the signal implementation, it’s really unclear to me how this magic works and after reading a few pages of the docs I’ve encountered many times “doing X may break reactivity, so do Y instead”. I maintain Notion’s reactivity framework so I’m not new to this overall, but the use of Proxy magicks is always hard to understand. Perhaps with use it will become second nature and I certainly like avoiding dependency arrays but I’m left uneasy.

The latest ones do have solutions for that (head locked vs space locked displays). This also was one of my requirements, but now I'm actively considering them. The main thing holding me back now is that the tech is improving so rapidly that picking a time to buy in is hard.

From the article, it was only 19 floors? But it was built in Oklahoma, where there once were oil wells, and now that the wells are not operational, it's unclear what'll happen to the building in the long run.

I think the parent comment is has a point. If it were near Chicago (where Wright was based out of), it'd get visitors.
Yeah, and this should really should have set off alarm bells to the officials there: "Ms. Blanchard would buy the building, renovate it and make it the launchpad for a rethinking of Bartlesville as “Silicon Ranch,” a new hub for technology start-ups drawn by Oklahoma’s lower cost of living."

Bartlesville is in the middle of nowhere, even by Oklahoma standards; not even on an interstate highway and only a general aviation airport. No start-up is going there unless they're handing out million-dollar seed rounds.
How many ascendant beings do you know, because I know zero and I know nobel laureates, Presidents, Prime Ministers, billionaires, and other highly esteemed humans. As far as I can tell, even the most esteemed among us are down in the muck with the rest of us as soon as you stop shining the public light on them.

What preconditions are required to make any of your claims true? Even if your claims are true, are they changing the behaviour or are they changing the fundamental view that drives the behaviour? Because to me, it looks like only the behaviour, which makes it somewhat irrelevant as far as driving understanding. If the species we encounter evolved under competition and scarcity (likely) then none of this invalidates the concept of understanding us trying to kill them as the basis of the beginnings of understanding each other.

Every vendor that is not Apple already supports Android. Even the ones that don’t want to have the GSuit built in, and some of them care about privacy, while some don’t. A smartphone is comprised of more than one cpu, and there are proprietary chipsets with closed firmware all the way to battery. This is a much different world than x86 PC with pre EFI BIOS, when you could flash everything (except cpu?)

What do you expect to be able to achieve with just the word “Linux” added to the mix? Can you build new 5G drivers for Linux as well? Smartphone market is moving pretty fast, the hardware is nearly disposable, and the consumer doesn’t even know what an OS is.

GNU/Linux smartphone, that is competitive? Good luck with that.

Also, Wordpress doesn't scale well (without getting expensive), the code is bad, it is poorly managed, security issues are all over the place. It's about time we got some alternatives.

FWiW I eat meat in an least one meal every week, the point being made is that eating meat, a lot of meat, daily meat, is something that's baked into certain cultures and goes a long way to explaining how it is that in your particular bubble you just don't see not meat food options as being either quick or readily available from vendors.

The claim is that they check AFTER you casted your vote, whether or not you are registered, but that does not foster confidence in the results... unless we are to believe that all this verification is done extremely quickly and efficiently which is hard to believe.

My question would be who exactly is verifying the process of verifying the votes after they are casted, and do people need to go through lengthy legal processes through courts in order to challenge it?

If you want to have secure elections, allowing anyone to vote and checking afterward is at best ineffiicient and at worst allows for mistakes and potential fraud that then takes a lengthy legal process in order double check the results... and by that time it could be too late as it would be seen as anti-democratic to question the results. Basically this is all making it a lot harder to trust results in a timely fashion.

Hard disagree, having used both I exclusively want everything as open as possible. The only exceptions are for bathrooms and maybe bedrooms (but honestly I like open lofts better).

Open is wildly more useful and more flexible. If you crave a room, put up a couple bookshelves. And I agree with zdragnar: every space is a social/community space in my house, so the easier the access and movement is, the better. And it's not for parties (I'm really not a fan of parties), it's just for normal living.

E.g. my house right now has a wide open upstairs bedroom and we've just divided it up to add an office. Which we've adjusted several times to make it just like we want it to be. Because we can, there aren't walls and doors to limit either space, and it's fantastic.

For high-level summaries, I actually appreciate such framing because the Linux ecosystem sorely lacks the coherence found in other platforms:

"USB4 V2 is supported in Windows 11 24H2"

"The Translation API is now available in macOS 15"

"To use the built-in camera in these specific laptops, you need Linux kernel 6.10+, libcamera 0.3.1+, pipewire with some downstream patches, Firefox 116..."

You get the idea. For users and application developers, "Fedora 41" represents a _coherent whole_ (roughly) and is a more productive subject to center discussions around.
I haven't liked any of the alternative measure papers I've read (although it has been a while). They all are basically of the form "we don't like the result we get when we maximize some variable based on economic output so we are going to generate some new variable, that is harder to measure and is usually based on claimed preferences rather than revealed preferences (cuz you know, people never lie and those two things are always equal....) that lets us claim what we like is the right course, even though it's objectively worse when measured in money." Say what you will about money, it's a lot less biased a measuring stick than most people give it credit for and since people are already bartering with it, our data is based on revealed preferences already, which is much less prone to lieing.

Also, why do you think the environment isn't accounted for in the system? It is not in economic growth but economic growth is measured after we have already applied quite a lot of environmental restrictions to the economy. We pursue environmental regulations we want politically and then growth happens within that constraint (and higher growth given a set of environmental regulations is still better than lower growth given said environmental regulations).

> Your example is particularly funny, because one can easily undecode the base64 image

I don't see how that's relevant - the fact that a very small number of specific terminal programs can decode limited data formats and communicate over terminal control sequences that only work for that data format doesn't seem to matter discussion of whether the shell or OS supports structured data in general or whether it gives you the tools to manipulate that data.

Moreover, this is actually an example that further proves my point: you can't use classic Unix tools to process that image data. You can't use cut to select rows or columns, head or tail to get parts of an image, grep to look for pixels - of course you can't, because it's not text, and one of the core tenets of the Unix philosophy is that everything is plain text.

Now, this wasn't a great example to begin with, because media is somewhat of a special case (and it's somewhat sequential data, as opposed to hierarchical). Let's take something like an array of transactions for a personal budget in JSON form, where each transaction has fields like "type" (e.g. "credit", "debit"), "amount", and "other party", and "other party" further has "type" (e.g. "business", "person", "bank") and "name" fields. The Unix philosophy does not allow you to directly represent this data - there is no way to represent key-value pairs or nested data and then do things like extract fields or filter on values. Your primitives are lines and characters, by definition.

> This kind of simplicity is impossible if the type of your data must be known by each intermediary program.

I think you're misunderstanding what "structured data" is, because what you just described isn't a property of structured data. I can write a "filter" program that takes an arbitrary test function and applies it to a blob of data, and that program needs zero information about the data, other than that it's an array.

Or, it's possible that you're just not familiar with the concept of abstraction, where programming systems can expose an interface that requires other systems to not understand their internals.

> The greatness of unix is that none of the intermediary programs need to know that they are dealing with an image.

This has nothing to do with Unix. It's trivial to conceive of a shell or OS where programs pass around structured data and are able to productively operate on it without needing to know the full structure of that data.

> "Structured data" is often an unnecessary and cumbersome overkill

What does this even mean? Data is structured by definition. If something doesn't have internal structure to it, it is not data. The fact that Unix decides to be willfully ignorant of that structure and force you to ignore it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

I would hope you didn't mean "representing structured data as such is inconvenient" because that would be a very ignorant statement to make that conflates tooling with data format and that has zero empirical evidence behind it.

I live in the US now, but originally from Ireland. My least favourite part of US road infrastructure is the 4 way stop. They are just not good compared to a roundabout. Half the time the only way you can tell it’s an all way stop is by looking for the back of the stop signs on the perpendicular road.

With a roundabout, you only have to look in one direction, and if it’s clear, you don’t even have to stop.
