I do find this an interesting thing often said in the .NET community. Yet the question "Why not just use F#" comes up in my head every time someone says this. C# has been playing catchup for many years.

If it is F# that is pushing a lot of innovation in the .NET ecosystem and many years in features ahead (at least it was a few years back) why not reward that effort through its use? We should encourage the behavior we want out of these language development teams after all by voting with our feet. Worked with the Java ecosystem for example - even Java now is improving. It would create a positive feedback loop (like most other innovative tech) where more market would create more engineering effort on it as well.

Reading these forum's over the years it feels like many C# people really want to stick in their camp and wait "just because" - it almost feels "tribal" and their team is "C#". I just don't see this culture in some other language ecosystems - makes me think if F# was in any other ecosystem than .NET it would of thrived a long time ago. That's just my impression though.
It’s unfortunate that Cuba is so reliant on inefficient oil fired plants. Solar power could easily cover their needs if it weren’t for the economic and sanctions situation. I feel like we will be seeing this bloom into a more political situation before too long.

First, there are cheap alternatives (antibiotics) which limit the total market size.

Second, it’s almost tautological. If there was enough profit to justify the development time and cost, drug companies would pursue a vaccine. Since they’re not pursuing a vaccine, you can assume there’s not enough estimated profit compared to other research ventures.

The second point includes considerations of difficulty. There are many strep strains. Strep can trigger autoimmune diseases. Will the costs of surmounting these challenges be rewarded above other pursuits?

Ask HN: In 2024 what's the best way to manage contacts?
How do people sync and manage contacts across so many apps and contexts?

--

UPDATE: Thanks for the comments so far. To clarify my situation:

My main use cases are:
Gmail (personal): For personal contacts.
Gmail (work): For professional contacts related to my role.
Outlook (work): For internal and external business communication.
LinkedIn: Managing professional connections.
Messaging apps (WhatsApp, Messenger, etc.): Keeping in touch with a wide range of contacts.

I’ve tried syncing across these platforms using Google Contacts, vCard exports, and a few automation tools, but the results have been inconsistent. Either the syncing doesn't work as expected, or there’s a lot of manual cleanup involved—especially when contacts change roles or details across different apps.

I’m wondering if anyone has found a more seamless way to manage contacts across all these different contexts? I’d love to hear any recommendations for more advanced tools, automations, or strategies that have worked for you.

I'm probably in the same category of old school internet vets with strong negative opinions about spam, but I think that well-targeted, high- or at least some-effort commercial outreach is OK if it's done well and isn't annoying.

I've hired people who cold emailed me - in the right way. I delete without reading cold emails that seem to be bulk sent. There is a difference.

Here's an idea: the airline could, you know, charge the price that the skiplagged flight would cost?

If this is impacting their margins so dearly, they should incentivize for optimizing against it: nobody would ever take a skiplagged flight if there were no pricing penalty.

> If you engage in skiplagging, you are sincerely a greedy fucking bastard

But the airline isn't greedy for this type of pricing, right?

Having said that, we’re pleased to see publishers starting to add to the ‘All rights reserved’ notice to explicitly exclude the use of a work for the purpose of training [generative AI], as it provides greater clarity and helps to explain to readers what cannot be done without rights-holder consent.”

So their position is that all rights reserved always meant that unauthorized use of any kind was already forbidden, but that was ignored / unenforceable and so they are adding “looking at you” language to carve out stuff that’s disallowed more specifically. Feels like bargaining, because this just gives the opposition the chance to argue that it wasn’t illegal before.

Well then we have a game theory problem. Every country wants to freeload on drug development spending to minimize their own expenses. It's unrealistic to expect that countries like India or France will voluntarily accept higher drug prices just to incentivize new drug development. If the USA decides to stop subsidizing the rest of the world then the most likely outcome will be a permanent reduction in the rate of new drug development. Would that be an improvement?

Solar installations in capital societies have taken off due to initial government and private sector investment.

Despite Cuba opening up over the last decade, there's still not good investment infrastructure to support large scale solar and wind installations. In other words, it's still a semi communist government that leans much more towards Soviet style versus China.

The article itself talks a bit about how the general electrical infrastructure in the country is aging and needs maintenance and upgrades.

Combine the government policies, general economy, hostility to foreign investment, etc and you hopefully get an idea of why solar hasn't had a major impact.

No disagreement there, but one other thing I'd throw in for learning coding is that it increases confidence for someone embarking on this journey, and sometimes that's all the motivation they need to dive deep and persist.

I've obviously seen people who misjudge this (they can code, hire them), but ultimately, developing someone requires an amenable minds of both a mentor and a mentee on top of talent and persistence.

Cuba has been going through a crazy major decline ever since COVID. It's pretty rare for a mostly developed country to collapse into poverty without a war.

Roughly 5% of the population is fleeing the island each year: https://miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/cub...
I don't think it's a stupid question. Cuba is increasing their solar energy, as far as I know they plan to increase their 200 something MW to 2 or 3 GW over the next 4-5 years. There are a lot of challenges in doing that though, one of them is the US. We build (or buy and upgrade) solar plants around the globe but we wouldn't risk the US market over going into Cuba. I doubt we're the only ones. Then there is the question of funding, which I would guess is an issue if they can't pay for the fossil fuels needed to keep their fossil fuel power plants running.

Considering the recent crisis seem to have been caused by lack of maintenance solar is probably a good option for Cuba as it doesn't require much. Once you set up a park it'll work for 25 years at least and even continue working for decades afterwards on tolerable levels. You'll need to do greenfield work and replace a panel once in a while, but a lot of parks can be almost left alone from an engineering perspective.

This is a bit of a side note, but heat isn't a benefit. I know we tend to think of hot areas which get a lot of sun as good places for solar plants, but today's solar tech loses a lot of efficiency to heat in temperatures above 25 degrees celsius. By a lot I mean that we don't even build parks in areas that go above 20-25 degrees if there are no outside incentives like green tariffs or NGO support.

I'm a founder of 3 small saas companies that I run by myself, generating about $1M ARR.

1. First one I started 10 years ago. I built a bot that auto DMed people in various internet forums. My first 100 users came from that. The product is highly shareable, so it quickly grew. Now it's 1.6M users (most of them free).

2. Second started 3.5 years ago. My first 100 users came from simply emailing the newsletter list from my first company. This product has no free plan, so it became profitable instantly.

3. Third started 1 month ago. And it's been a struggle. I got 10k free users just by emailing my list, but 0 paying users. So I tried ads and had similar results from the ads. Now I'm taking a step back and understanding why they aren't paying, which involves just emailing them.

Summary: once you have an email list and viral social loops built-in, marketing gets easier.

> This general topic about trade workers pops up on HN periodically and there is always some discussion about high-earning people working in the trades. But I can't find any data that actually supports this statement - the BLS numbers tell a story that plumbers and electricians make almost exactly the median income that full-time, year-round workers in the US earn.

That's because high earning tradespeople are typically not wage earners. They operate their own companies.
Maybe I missed it but the article doesn’t appear to control for genetics. This is crucial because:

1. Dysfunctional reward processing in parents plausibly causes early life adversity in their children, and

2. Dysfunctional reward processing, like practically every other mental trait, is to some degree heritable.

Without controlling for genetics it would be impossible to distinguish the effect of early life adversity from the effect of being the child of the type of parent who creates an environment of early life adversity.

I think it’s plausible that shared environment plays a role, but papers that don’t even try to address genetic confounding aren’t serious.
Good products become lagging behind with times and then goto live as average or below average products at Automattic.

Pocket Casts, Simplenote, DayOne. All of these had deteriorated before going to Automattic and then deteriorated some more.

In case someone is looking for alternatives on Mac/iOS:

Simplenote —> FS Notes (apple only; foss). You can use the app for free on Mac and can compile on iOS. But it's really good so I bought and there is NO SUBSCRIPTION (not yet at least :D). Very responsive, active, and prompt dev https://fsnot.es

Pocket Casts —> Overcast (yes, with the latest “upgrade” royal screw ups), or even Apple Podcasts (I hate OEM apps but there are not really great ones out there) - overcast has an yearly subscription (though almost everything is free - even when I was paying I had the ad enabled as it was a good way to find some nice shows - right now I am not paying because dev has really effed up and I am waiting but still using along with Apple Podcasts). The dev is exact opposite of FS Notes dev :P (and is kinda famous I guess) http://overcast.fm

DayOne —> I gave up looking for journal apps (last non-retarded one I had found was Dyrii but it shutdown). I had stopped using DayOne when it went subscription based. I just use the notes app and paper notebook now. https://www.google.com/search?q=stationery+stores+near+me :D

> The AI companies contend that it's fair use

Do they? "Fair Use" is an affirmative defense, so the only time we're going to get into that is in a court case, where it'll be tested through legal means.

I would say it's even more nuanced: if LLM training involves merely reading a dataset, but it is not strictly necessary to copy, or even store it verbatim to be useful, then does it even fall under copyright protection at all? A lot of computer-based data processing is already immune to copyright issues; you can place a webpage into a server-based cache or CDN, you can stream it across a network, you can cache it in RAM or local storage, you can make backups of things, and all these processing uses don't fall afoul of copyright.

So I would say that we're going to watch the LLM trainers say that the models aren't storing copies at all, and that seems an even stronger defense than "Fair Use". It is a strange copyright protection indeed that explicitly or implicitly prohibits certain types of machine readings, while allowing many others.
Yes there is. The airlines used to check IDs themselves. Now their computers talk to those of the TSA so the TSA effectively does this for them.

In your scenario, when you fail to board Airplane B that event gets flagged. Not a huge deal but you might have a problem getting a refund. When you try to board Airplane A the fun begins. You will be stopped because the ID for that boarding pass never went through a TSA checkpoint.

What if you go back through TSA again, this time with the other boarding pass? They only check IDs now, so you'd need a second ID that also had your picture on it. Drivers licences were easy to forge 20 years ago. Not so much now, especially with the RealID mandate.

Even then it wouldn't work because TSA has face recognition now. If you try to go through a second time with a different ID but a similar face on the same day, you will almost certainly be detained and probably arrested.

Good luck.

I am quite familiar with the systems in other countries. Every country rations care. Some do it by condition severity, others by ability to pay. The vast majority of US consumers have health plan coverage and the co-insurance or co-payment amounts are fairly low. I won't attempt to defend the vagaries of the US healthcare system but let's not pretend that everyone who needs treatment in other developed countries actually gets it in a timely matter. Why are 5-year cancer survival rates higher in the USA than the UK?

It's pretty common to see affluent Canadians come to the US as medical tourists and pay out of pocket for procedures like MRI scans or joint replacement surgery. This is a real thing that happens all the time. Depending on your perspective that might be acceptable in the name of fairness and cost control but there are always trade-offs.
