Just reading this blog makes me feel like it is actually not a great device to travel with. For me, a good travel device is one that takes up minimal room when packing to the point where it becomes easy to forget I even have it in my bag. The Vision Pro typically requires its own dedicated spot on top of your carry on as you go through the airport - kind of the opposite. The author talks about just packing it with a single cover for the goggles but that also makes me nervous given its MSRP

It's always an option to just publicly announce that you will no longer maintain it anymore and that you are either looking for a successor, or encouraging the community to fork it.

It isn't. If you basically make it illegal by law through overregulation than thats not what the market is saying.

Are you saying that as a good or bad thing (an afternoon)? I have no clue if that’s good or bad, never done this kinda thing (more of a sysadmin than a SWE).
I generally agree with this sentiment of people being too tethered to technology and not paying attention to the world around them, but I don't see a problem with it on a flight. You're generally going to be seated in one place for hours at a time. It's much more infuriating to be walking out of the subway here in NYC and people are just in zombie mode walking up the stairs slowly while staring at their phones. Or down busy streets. Or driving in their cars.

I coincidentally demoed the Vision Pro this past weekend and expected to hate it, but was pretty impressed with it. I definitely don't want people walking around NYC with it strapped to their faces, but on a long plane or train ride I can see it being pretty nice.

The real reason is to keep this stock market bull run going and they are terrified of it coming down to earth again where it is supposed to be. They definitely will burn whatever they need to so that their stock price doesn’t come down. But it is inevitable and also disgusting that we are throwing our climate change goals out the window for this.

Arc usually means you've not structured your code to have clear lifetimes where one object clearly outlives another. Typically I see c++ applications avoid it but actually suffer from bugs due to the same structural deficiencies. They said, I think it's almost always possible to to avoid it if you try hard enough. With async you need to use structured concurrency.
NYTimes already allows cancelling online for most subscriptions, so I imagine this won't be a big issue for them.

Seems to have worked out okay in tech, because we have the benefit of technological progress. WinTel dominance is moot because smartphone is the name of the game, and MS was unable to execute. The Mac and Linux were also able to catch up in the meantime, even though Windows is still numerically dominant on desktop.
I'm working on this, ArchiveBox v0.8 adds the beginnings of a content addressable store, with plans for bittorrent-backed instance-to-instance sharing in a later version.

I think Archive.org should still exist too (and ArchiveBox donates + submits URLs to Archive.org too), but having a self-hosted option where you can archive personal stuff that requires a login, and do P2P sharing with with fine grained permissions is a gap that should be filled.

Aiming to archive the entire internet is Archive.org's goal, aiming to archive the part of the internet YOU care about is our goal.

Or maybe much more simple and obvious - "they cost to be installed and the developer/builder saved some money on a thing and related labor".

Not sure how its in US, but houses here in some parts of Europe have literally become completely plain white cubes to minimize building costs as much as possible. No more roof overhangs (which brings problems), no more awnings, no decorations, practically no balconies or varied designs. Just sets of suburban white cubes.

You can extend your Quest with third-party accessories to do this. I got a better head strap with external battery support + 2 batteries and charger from BoboVR. With the magnetic snap-in the batteries can be easily replaced mid-play, in essence providing infinite charge time.
Instead of this, it might be interesting to see Amazon (or similar provider) offer some kind of compute tier whose performance (not memory or storage, just cpu/gpu) is dependent the amount of power from sun/wind being generated. For many internal applications, I could see that being an acceptable compromise for some amount of cost savings.
I feel like we might have been reading the original arguments in different ways, so let me summarize how I see this thread:

I interpreted ndndjdjdn's comment as sarcasm. (due to the use of the phrase "next up") That is, I think he was saying that if you take sadcherry's logic to its limit, then people wouldn't shower or would shower less. sadcherry's logic is that people shouldn't wear make-up because it cosmetic is not beneficial to health. Thus I think ndndjdjdn was talking about the fact that people use showers for cosmetic reasons, and believes sadcherry probably doesn't actually want people to shower less, and so should probably rethink his views about make-up.

You then posted your comment, saying that the health benefits of showers justify them even if they do have cosmetic benefits.

I then comment, saying that I shower in a way that is bad for my health because of cosmetic reasons. I wanted to imply that a lot of people shower like this, and therefor the fact that moderate showers might have some health benefits is irrelevant, because the way many/most people shower is actually unhealthy. I probably should have been more explicit about the fact that I thought many/most other people shower in unhealthy ways.

As an aside, I don't actually know of any concrete benefits to health besides making sure open wounds don't get infected. I tried to search the web for other benefits, and the only additional ones I got are exfoliation (which is cosmetic) and relaxation. (but relaxing things aren't generally classified as "healthy") With that in mind, I tend to believe the health benefits of showers are probably pretty over-hyped, (though not non-existent) and more like a cultural fiction to keep people showering than true knowledge.

I'd be interested to hear if you have a different take.

My understanding is that InkScape is foremost an SVG editor. If SVG can't do it, then InkScape can't either. This seems quite somewhat limiting for a general-purpose graphical editor, aspiring to integrate good bitmap editing support as well later.

Though, I guess it does somehow extend the SVG format, as it provides saving as either Inkscape SVG or plain SVG.. So maybe my understanding is incorrect?
Regulations aren’t what’s driving nuclear to unprofitably. China which still builds nuclear and doesn’t give a fuck about US nuclear regulations is still brining solar and wind to market vastly faster.
> The more time passes, the less I can shake the feeling that the world would be better if we tuned out our environment less.

That may or may not be true in general, but air travel is one of the most oppressive environments people regularly find themselves in. Being in an extremely crowded environment with very little personal space is psychologically uncomfortable for a lot of people. And it's basically not possible to escape that environment until the plane lands, which is typically hours of time. If it's OK to tune the world out anywhere, it's got to be in an airplane.

> I'll forever remember a different tablet, the Google Pixel C, as the best Android tablet ever made.. The Pixel C's design was just overflowing with potential.. like so many Google hardware products, few people ever had an opportunity to use a Pixel C. It never received a model refresh, and its spiritual successor, the Pixel Slate, was a total disaster. I felt at the time, as I still do today, that the Pixel C deserved a simple update with new components to give this hardware design more time to shine.

So far, no news on Pixel Tablet 2, other than Pixel Tablet being sold standalone without the dock.
This comprehensive guide walks you through building a real-time voting/polling system that integrates an interactive front-end, robust back-end logic, persistent data storage, and containerization for ease of deployment. The technologies used in this project include:

Go (Golang): A powerful language for developing a scalable and efficient back-end.
WebSockets: To enable real-time communication between client and server, providing live poll updates.
Redis: As an in-memory data store for handling real-time vote counts and fast updates.
PostgreSQL: For persistent storage of poll data and vote records.
Docker: To containerize the application for easy setup, scaling, and deployment across various environments.
> Are you or the rest of America OK with a nuclear power plant being "in your backyard"?

Economists have the term market failure for configurations in which groups of individuals making decisions predictably produces bad outcomes [1].

The last decades seem to imply that there is a broader social failure when high-frequency, echo chambered, outrage-based discussion results in suboptimal debate. This is true from our political media to social media to the quality of private policy debate in America.

Nuclear power seems to exemplify that problem. If a public utility discusses nuclear power, every neighbour in the zip code will come out complaining about radiation. Even if their town is built on radioactive coal ash. Even if they live next to a missile silo, or near a port where our nuclear-powered fleet makes call. Private parties, on the other hand, can cut through the bullshit, which we usually see as bad, but plays a spoiler effect that maybe keeps the system from getting gridlocked.

I have access - that paper says:

> Such an incident has wider implications because subsea cables carry >99% of all international data traffic, including the internet and trillions of dollars per day in financial transactions

and in turn cites "L. Carter, R. Gavey, P. J. Talling, J. T. Liu, Oceanography 27, 58–67 (2014)", which I can't find a working link for.

So it's actually talking about international traffic. Although even then, that's a little hard to believe.
There isn't a generic answer for this. You'd have to check the specific laws setting up what the FTC can do, which is more research than you can reasonably expect from an HN post, unless we get super lucky with some very, very specialized lawyer posting.
I was a 16-year-old kid in still-developing India, 1986. One had to wait seven years to get a landline connection.

My friends and I went through the Morse Code speed test and evaluation course, for which we prepared weeks and weeks. I was issued the handle OM118.

The non-profit organization that issues the license had a single Ham Radio for which you need to apply well in advance for 30-minute slots.

Four of us huddled in a small booth of a room, fiddling with knobs, wondering why there was static instead of some exotic voice from another part of the world - Sri Lanka, at least, please God.

A voice crackled in. We immediately knew who it was, but we were too cool to admit it. The voice asked us where we were...Madras, we said. He was too...We went around talking over each other, and the other end said, "I am an actor. My name is Kamal Haasan."

It’s called fraud. Now, will anyone charge them with it? I doubt it.

I am not a lawyer but bankruptcy isn’t a get out or jail free card.

If you intentionally use bankruptcy to defraud customers, the court would be more likely to deny your request for bankruptcy. And you can’t use a company to shield from all liability. A court can “pierce the corporate veil” and rule the parent company or company stakeholders are liable.
I don’t know the answer, but I think it depends on how the money gets appropriated. You can’t buy a TV spot and call it good will, but could you setup a food drive in a large target city and you setup a bunch of fun shit for families and kids, and during which you also promoted your business. Can a corp write that off? Seems like the answer would be yes, but maybe not.
You offer a hypothetical that has no basis in reality. A better real-world example is people using their collective bargaining power, which slightly inconveniences me and other consumers. As it happens, this is a frequent occurence, and I am always ok with it. No need for hypotheticals.
How did it even evolve into such a mess?

Why do we care about "competition" when it's ultimately all about the user experience? The streaming market has a surfeit competition right now and customers loathe having to juggle between half a dozen different services just to get the content they want to watch. In that space, some are even yearning for a return to monopoly, or cable.
Totally! We are using it for farmland and riparian restoration projects here in Panama. Everything is still very nascent, so we don't really have a good idea what amount of mothboxes would constitute "enough data," but the interesting thing about insects vs like mammal camera traps is that like even if two mothboxes are just 200 m apart, you can really see a lot of insect variation!

It works for most of them, but not all. And sometimes a service originally supports it, but then changes and doesn't, which means you need to get in touch with them to fix it.

I now have a Tello eSIM ($5/mo) that I use just for the 3-4 services that don't support voip.ms. And only turn it on when I need it.
Near the end he makes clear that his concern was about having a robot with a more or less static script hastily replace the human who has some actual authority. I think we've all experienced this to some extent and it is definitely getting more commonplace.

What do you think is going to happen if, as the author predicts, “Apple Vision Pro will be on the face of every frequent flyer”?

My prediction is that the experience would get even shittier. Since everyone would be tuned out, there’d be even less reason for the airline to care.
One would hope they would be prosecuted for fraud.
We have about 90 years of 'cheap' uranium, much more at increased price(which isn't that important for npp scale). If you factor in that at certain point reprocessing like Orano will be more economically profitable - we'll get in fact much more time to transition to fast/thorium reactors

AM receivers have to apply a band pass filter to select the station. The width of that filter will directly affect the audio bandwidth. The filter probably can't be anywhere near +/- 20 kHz based on the idea that nobody nowhere would put two stations close together in the same area. Mass produced AM radios have to work everywhere.
While this seems like a good use case for mixed reality headsets like the AVP, I still find it kind of creepy that someone is hiding most of their face while also potentially filming everything that's going on.
And yet the rich spend vastly more money than poor. You can see it trivially by noticing that the poor have all their money from the work that they do for the rich.

Taxing spending would be way more equitable than whatever we are now doing.

We are already doing some taxation of spending. VAT, sales tax, social security fees. All of those are paid by buyers of goods, services and labor. If we did the same for investments government would have so much more money to deal with the problems instead of borrowing it from commercial banks at interest.
> That may or may not be true in general, but air travel is one of the most oppressive environments people regularly find themselves in.

Most people don't regularly travel by plane. This is a very "1%" (as shorthand for a privileged minority of people globally, not literally exactly 1% of the population) problem.
The very first gen of untethered headsets were powered by the phone. They quickly realized that the phone stack in that phone stole too many resources to reach the performance they wanted. The Quest came out "shortly" after that Carmack presentation.

It's boring but not oppressive. It's okay to let the mind wander without completely disconnecting yourself from reality.

A technique I have a lot of success with is asking why <some observation> doesn't change their opinion. It leaves the doctor in a position of expertise and authority, so they're usually happy to spend the time teaching you. Normally I learn a lot about some gap in my medical knowledge, and sometimes the additional reflection changes the doctor's opinion and gives me better outcomes.

Just flew across the Atlantic on lay-flat seats. They are absolutely a massive improvement over anything I’ve flown in before but I still couldn’t sleep well. Maybe I’m too big (6’ 2” and not skinny) but I couldn’t lay completely flat because I ran out of leg room as the seat reclined.

It was an amazing ride other than that.
