> I'm reminded of the headline "More than 16M Americans have lost jobs in 3 week, dow's best week since 1938"

That's likely a significant contributor behind the November election results in the US and across Western countries in general. People aren't dumb, they spot through politicians and media claiming "good economy numbers" while their own paychecks don't come close to keeping up with inflation.

The economy numbers may be at record highs, but way too much of the wealth ends up in the pockets of a very select few.
I know someone who deflated the tires on their Jeep to get around a violation ticket for bumper height (i.e. the kind of thing they only ever enforce as a pretext for fishing). He asked the cop to re-measure. Cop was confused and mad.
I also run a Nikon Coolscan and Epson 750 Pro on my Windows 11 machine. I also shoot slides using my Sony A7RIII with appropriate lighting and mounts. The Coolscan consistently gives me the best results.
That is awesome. Keep up the good work little buddy. Love the retro feel of the wizard. :)

Soon to be grad in Computer Science looking mainly for Soft. Eng roles within London and the UK. My recent work was a 13-month internship at my University designing, integrating and releasing an Internet Connected device ecosystem for a large fleet of Raspberry Pis (>=450) handed out to 1st Year Computer Science Students with a dedicated companion mobile app. I can be a quick learner and am keen to continue work in the embedded / linux space!
"Data breaches don't have consequences" is a new take that I'm not sure how to respond to.

It's not the email alone that is valuable. It is the email paired with your search history that is valuable. If you remove the email, and instead tie to to a uuid, the search history is much less valuable. This is the basics of data minimization.

Which, again, is fine if Kagi doesn't want to do. They just shouldn't pretend that there isn't any other solution other than email, because there is.
The scorpion is not very good at math (lucky for me!) progress bar for my charge level (or change color of attack once it’s charged) would help and a more readable color scheme.

This recall is for the high-beams. And yes, the EU allows brighter high-beams than the US.

This seems to be the extent of the recall. But there are other differences between the EU and US. For example, on what the headlights are illuminating. US headlights shine more light off to the right of the vehicle than EU and I think it is due to the assumption that roadside signs are more often lit via headlights/refection in the US vs sign-mounted lighting in the EU.

I think most people agree that EU regulations allow for significantly better headlights than US regulations allow. But those better headlights must be paired with an expensive adaptive system or they become terribly dangerous. If you compare "cheap car" headlights in the US vs EU they are probably very similar in performance.
I think I basically agree with you, it raises my hackles when I see rhetorical devices being used to push positions I disagree with, it feels transparently manipulative in a way that is disrespectful to the audience (me)

But I think that you're overlooking some of the specifics of Molly's post, and this particular joke.

Molly believes that memecoins are basically Ponzi schemes. So what she claims that this joke is in bad taste it is not just because it is making fun of a famous case of financial fraud which ruined people, but crucially because of the context of launching and promoting another financial fraud.

edit: in her own words

> fwiw i don't really have an issue with someone doing an enron parody for parody's sake

I don't have anything meaningful to add other than how bizarre to see this on HN. Laura Splotch, who was interviewed in the article, is a good friend, neighbor, and former coworker. Weird how things intersect sometimes.
Perhaps but with a modern/futuristic twist.

The cells in our body have one by one been replaced with new ones and the old ones have died off.

This is not the case for our "talking" neurons which is what I was trying to limit this thought experiment to. I think a lot more folks would be ok with preserving their biological brain as is within a robot/clone if that was the only option and understand the body gets (mostly) replaced. Although a few in this thread have alluded to the fact we might be missing important relationships with the rest of the body such as the nervous system and gut biome.
Those are probably implemented by interns.
Recently, I was thinking plenty about trust within organizations, and it resonated with me too.

I've worked at a few startups and have seen high-trust environments lead to a lot of productivity, comfort and success— and the opposite for low-trust startups. In general, I think startups tend to lean towards high-trust, especially when they're small and early, but I was part of a 15-person one that was quite the opposite, and it was terrible.

The hiring process wasn't great. Long take-home task, and that was the only technical interview. A lot of talking, but not much noteworthy signal on the rest. Very long wait times. Now I know this is a red flag for low-trust companies. If they're not building trust at the hiring-stage, it means even after joining the organization it'll take time to acutally "be part of the team".

Once at the company, I had no permission to poke around— everything was hidden by default. There was no space for discussion, I was expected to learn, not to comment. There was plenty of micro-management; after all, if they don't trust you, they need to keep an eye on you at all times. You're probably doing something wrong.

The chasms were deep too; the company was building a web team to spin a contractor's project into a full web product, and I was supposed to lead it. We were disjointed from the rest of the company though, and would only hear about requirements through the founders. The team had interest on being more involved with the main product, but management just wasn't interested in making it happen, and just had us loiter around for a few months until they gathered requirements, and then implement some rather disjoint features.

The project failed. I'm working somewhere else now.

tldr; low-trust environments kill projects
Because that's authoritarian and ghoulish? The thought of forcibly changing (or eliminating) a writing system that may have been in use by millions of people for centuries with no issues, to satisfy the demands of a bunch of web developers who don't want to add some more if-else branches to their text rendering code, gives me the heebie-jeebies. And it wouldn't even save most programmers any effort: for 99.9% of us, this stuff is all abstracted away by libraries anyway.

I suspect you might be over-indexing on the specific example of emojis and skin tone modifiers that the article used, but on the Unicode implementation level that's just the same modifier characters that several real languages need to use to be encoded properly. It's not a useless frivolity.
You can't blindly rely on people with power to always do the unselfishly correct thing. Such power corrupts, and there needs to be a somewhere to turn when that power is abused.

This is why I like the Chevron decision a lot!
What I mean is that I run proxmox predominantly so I don’t have to run Windows on my hardware.
If you go on the intel arc subreddit people are hyped about intel GPUs. Not sure what the price is but the previous gen was cheap and the extra competition is welcomed

In particular, intel just needs to support vfio and it’ll be huge for homelabs.
I've worked at FAANG. Actual humans too.
Likewise, I run my Nikon Coolscan on my Windows 11 machine with no special adapters. Works better than my Epson 750 Pro and Sony A7RIII with the right lenses, mounts, and lighting.
I algorithmically donated $5000 to Open Source
from my own perspective it would be impossible to tell given the parameters of this thought experiment, but any outside observer who witnessed the cloning process and the staging of the second bedroom would know.

Moreover, if randomly one of the two dies and the other survives then either the original or the clone experiences death. So from the point of view of the original before the experiment, he has a 50% chance of dying. If we change the experiment to say that he has a 100% chance of dying but the clone has a 100% chance of surviving, the original would not agree to the experiment unless he was suicidal; obviously he has no reason to care that a different person will live on assuming his identity after he dies.
> when will people decide it's time to go?

They'll decide when they want to decide. Some might choose to actually live forever, and that's fine. Others will choose a more current-human type lifespan, and that's fine. Some will choose 150, some 300, some 1000, some 10,000. All of those numbers are fine.

> And how will they do it?

There are already humane forms of medical euthanasia performed in progressive places in the world; this question already has answers, and likely more will be developed over time. I don't think it's an important question or issue to discuss, as long as people have legal options.
There are some notable value judgements that are different between US and EU regulations.

I remember reading that the US car safety rules generally assume that the people in the car do not follow the rules, whereas EU regulations assume they follow the law and use seatbelts.

US crash safety tests don’t care about the damage the car does to pedestrians, but EU regulations do factor that in.

I'm proposing it can be done at one layer above or in a different abstraction. There seems to be a point of diminishing returns, I mean if your text editor doesn't handle knotted cords from the inca empire why even bother.
I’ve specifically asked about this recently and the answer is that API is not top priority. My guess is that Search API will continue to be in Beta in the next 12 months.
Not everything has to be a tech solution. Legislate that companies must delete the data and punish them if they don’t. Much like GDPR.

Why not?
> More recent research has been hinting that we may even hold certain types of memories outside our brains.

Not just hinting - the evidence is strong and accumulating rapidly. The gut, in particular, has so many neurons that it is considered the body’s “second brain”, to say nothing about the impact that gut bacteria have on your mind.

If you really wanted to create a copy of your “mind”, you’d have to image every neuron in your body for a thoroughly accurate copy. And then accept the fact that your entire behavioural profile is then missing the input of your gut bacteria, which appears to have a significant and non-trivial impact.
It's at least thirty minutes old.

> Because cards were read "sideways"

That is, cards were read row by row, not column-(character)-by-column — one ‘bit’ from every character at once. And this is the case for practically all card equipment. That surprised me a bit when I first learned it, as someone used to sequential character streams, but it makes sense in the context of pre-computer card operations, where cards and holes started and stopped counting wheels for each digit (column) at once to calculate totals.
There are too many cars with this problem. Especially high trucks and SUVs whose beams blinds drivers in front of them..

ChromeOS Flex doesn't get enough credit. While I recently migrated from Windows to Linux on my production machine, ChromeOS Flex is my OS of choice for a simple Push Here Dummy (PHD) machine. There is zero maintenance from an OS standpoint and the ChromeOS Flex Certified models list allows me to pick from a variety of quality hardware, not just some cheap Chromebook. I have more than one of these lying around the house and I often take one on personal trips as well.
There's no proof of that.

Life expectancy has been increasing over time, especially in the past century or so. I don't think it's credible to suggest that civilizations have progressed meaningfully slower now that people live to be 80 or so instead of only 30, which was common in recent history.

And even if immortality "stalls" humanity, so what? People matter, not technology or some amorphous concept of "progress".
It's pretty often discussed, it's just hard to put everything into a single comment (or thread).

I mean, Yudkowsky has basically spent the last decade screaming into the void about how AI will with high probability literally kill everyone, and even people like me who think that danger is much less likely still look at the industrial revolution and how slow we were to react to the harms of climate change and think "speed-running another one of these may be unwise, we should probably be careful".

Interesting, that’s not what I’m used to. What sort of transitions are you referring to because these things can get over a half inch hurdle.
it seems like if this is a problem, then the whole domain system is a problem.

there's nothing that makes .top or .xyz more problematic than .net or .org. if the assertion is that it's too confusing for people to pay attention to all the parts of a domain name, then why do domain names continue to have multiple parts? let's just deprecate everything other than .com and be done with it.

I would say it's more like the American people are so propagandized in favor of free markets and enterprises and so poisoned at the notion of the Government doing literally anything that they utterly don't care about how thoroughly and completely our freedoms have been subsumed by capital interests, as long as they aren't "big government me no like."

Government death panels? Orwellian, literally 1984, communist, socialist. Your insurance company refusing to cover your cancer treatment? Well that's the free market bub, can't argue with it. Sorry you're gonna die.

No, because by resisting at all you are already criminal, so why does it matter that you are legally allowed to own firearms when 2A supporters insist that banning firearms does not limit access to firearms?

A tyrannical state will not care that you are "legally" allowed to own firearms, and rebels do not get rights.

Also, I'll believe the claim that 2A is to prevent tyranny when I see it, because most of the time when you ask someone who supports the 2nd amendment about slave revolts, you tend to find out how little they care about "tyranny"
I recently shipped a project [0] with a very similar tech stack: Axum + HTMX + Askama. It’s still in beta but it’s incredible how far you can get with just html, css and less than 20 lines of js. Also, can’t beat the beauty of putting a single binary in a systemd service and have your entire frontend + backend ready to go.

The only downside that I see is that the binary gets big pretty fast, especially with Askama which basically is a templating engine like Tera but pulls templates at compile time in the binary so you don’t have to copy templates around on your server.

I have not worked with SSR a lot before but it seems it’s harder to cache pages too.

I don't necessarily live in a "tech" city, far away from California.

Many people my age own their homes around me. They work in HR, they work in finance, they work in construction, they work as insurance sales.

The median home price for a lot areas around me is ~$500k. Meaning there's also a lot of homes <$500k. And I'm in one of the largest metro areas in the country with a bus stop right outside my door, so it's not like I'm in the sticks.

It's amazing how mechanized scofflaws believe they are uniquely above the law, and that dodging law enforcement is a personal victory. I think it's a sad commentary on the deterioration of public behavior in America (and this is almost exclusively an American thing ... in Germany a lifted Jeep would be seized and destroyed on its first day on the road.)
I’m not entirely sure if I understand the point you’re making, but let me try an analogy.

We are all forced to buy a car. There is no one with a gun to our head forcing such a purchase, or a law specifically requiring you to buy a car. But nevertheless the laws are structured so that everyone realistically must buy a car, whether they want to or not.

If you chose not to buy a car then your life will be dramatically more expensive and difficult to live, because of the network effects of this requirement.

So while you are technically free to not buy a car, realistically you are forced to do so.

Is that approximately what you mean?

> US car safety rules generally assume that the people in the car do not follow the rules

As a EU citizen living in the US, this makes perfect sense.

The quality of driving here is far lower, I often see vehicles without plates or temp tags and it's not unusual to hear about uninsured drivers hitting people.

It's ironic that such a car centric country naturally ends up with terrible drivers because of the low barrier to entry.
I think that from everyone else's perspective, an ideal copy of me would be me; by the definition of "ideal copy". I, however, would not consider the copy to be me; to me, there is only one me.
