As native Portuguese / Spanish, they are right.

You are right regarding Galician, but Galician isn't Spanish, rather original Portuguese, where some words changed throughout the centuries.

The way we both speak is rather different than the native Spanish speakers, that never have been exposed to native Portuguese/Galician speakers.

In fact, even native Catalan speakers have easier time understanding Galician/Portuguese speakers, than Spanish speakers do, probably due to the French roots in Galician/Portuguese carried by the crusades involved in the founding of both regions and naturally influeced the language evolution.
Great work there!! Bookmarked it!

In an ideal world 100% of all deaths would be by euthanasia.

Instead there are accidents, which kill prematurely.

Homicides, which steal life.

And diseases, which cripple and degrade.

I've watched three of my four grandparents suffocate to death as their organs failed, blasted out of their minds on morphine, nothing more than a collection of organs with a slowly stopping metabolism. Two of them wanted to end it, but couldn't.

I suppose the only accident, homicide, and disease that cannot be defeated given enough luck, research, and effort is the eventual tiring, erosion, and destruction of one's mind so in an ideal world that would be the single cause of death, a death brought about by euthanasia once it is detected and things are put in order.

If the religious extremists who want to impose their morals on others and the private equity firms buying up all of the hospice providers are still bribing politicians to keep people from living their lives as they see fit by the time I get there, I'll be breaking the law.
The vast majority of the scam or spam texts I receive come from one provider: Bandwidth (https://www.bandwidth.com/). They technically allow you to report phone numbers (https://www.bandwidth.com/legal/report-a-phone-number/) but most of the time they close my requests claiming that even though the user is obviously running a pig butchering scam (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_butchering_scam), they haven't said anything that is technically illegal yet.

Once I reported some obviously fake collections calls; they kept calling me and saying that I needed to respond to a "pending matter" otherwise it would be "escalated." Bandwidth claimed this wasn't abuse and was a legitimate collections business.

To me they're just a nuisance, but the elderly and other vulnerable people have lost their entire retirement savings to these kinds of scams (https://www.propublica.org/article/whats-a-pig-butchering-sc...). It's not good that Bandwidth is abetting this.
What do you mean by "didn't work out"?

I feel like, for a passion project, only the first one applies. I have many projects that as far as I know, I am the only user of, and I am happy about that! As far as I am concerned, my project is very successful because it solved a problem I had and that no existing project addressed.
>There is a trope that most Americans work ‘paycheck-to-paycheck’. They don’t. The median American has savings.

Yeah, all is well and fine, nothing to see. Economic anxiety? What, me worry?

Meanwhile:

21% of people have no emergency savings at all

Nearly 2 in 5 (37%) Americans say they couldn’t afford an emergency expense over $400

The median emergency savings for Americans is $600

More than 3 in 5 (62%) Americans say that having dedicated emergency savings is a priority for them; yet 57% say high inflation and price increases have held them back from contributing this year

1 in 4 (25%) people dipped into emergency savings to cover basic living expenses in the past year

>Finally, the narrative (hereafter called the ‘poverty narrative’) often assumes an outdated (and decidedly masculine) vision of a frustrated proletariat of laid off coal miners, quite at odds with the reality of life for most working Americans in the 21st century. The 23-year-old barista serving you coffee at Starbucks, who lives with roommates in a small apartment, who doesn’t have job security, or the ability to pursue her goals in life—she most likely did not vote for Trump.

Yeah, because there's no other kind of struggling working class, squeezed middle class, and whole areas de-industrialized and devastated.

It's just left-leaning young barristas, creatives, and such.

But do you think the commenter meant „here are my issues with this YC application, you should make those points more clear: …“ or do you think he meant „here are my issues with this YC application, you should find something else to do!“?

> If there ARE drones being operated in a way where they would prefer not be recognized, then it doesn't seem crazy they would put lights on and move in ways that would disguise them as planes.

Wouldn't it be much, much, much easier and less crazy that, if you want to fly a small object at night and hide its exact nature and position, you would just paint it a deep, non-reflective black? Adding lights to an object you want to hide at night is completely crazy.
To me, yes. Key point being, "if I review and approve of the message" - if you actually do this, then yes.

Being genuine is all about how much actual care and heart you pour into thing. That's really something only you can truly know. Using generative AI doesn't automatically make it not genuine, much like using a grammar checker or a thesaurus doesn't.

Conversely, not using AI tools doesn't suddenly make YouTube and OnlyFan creators' comments genuine. They never were. There is no care and heart in there, only salesmanship, and it's most likely outsourced to a brand management company anyway.
Yes but undirectly.

It's only harmful if you hate men. If you actually like men as fellow human beings (not necessarily as boyfriend material), you wouldn't care about what they are doing to make themselves happy as long as they don't harm anyone.
It's fairly common for governments to provide a basic level of care for free or heavily subsidized, but not cover more expensive treatments. It's certainly not exclusive to the US.
I also had an issue where Rust was recompiling dependencies unnecessarily. It turned out to be because rust-analyzer has one more level of `Bash` than VSCode's integrated terminal. My `.bashrc` was loading something unconditionally which meant if you nested bash sessions the PKG_CONFIG_PATH changed (duplicate entries).

I had OpenSSL as a dependency, and if `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` changes it rebuilds it (this is correct), which means if you make an edit to a file and save it, rust-analyzer would blow away the cache, then you build it on the command line and it blows it away again.

To test:

1. If you quit VSCode and do an incremental build is it still slow?
2. Try `CARGO_LOG=cargo::core::compiler::fingerprint=info cargo build` (took me a while to find that; there is a bug open to make it less stupidly hard to find).

That will print a load of info about why Cargo is rebuilding stuff. Note that it isn't really in a sensible order - the first message isn't necessarily the cause. The message about the environment variable changing was somewhere in the middle for me, so read the whole log.
> the fact that it is _still_ not been resolved by any agency is insane

I don't think it's insane. We won't get serious about tracking UAVs/drones/RC aircraft until there is an incident. Until then, agencies likely do not have the money, resources, time or motivation to do it.
> When you access the objects property on the model object, you're actually accessing the QuerySet

Made a mistake there. I wanted to say: The objects property contains a Manager instance that allows you to work with QuerySets.

Yep, the old WaveLAN stuff. I had a parallel port adapter version of that back in 1997 for an old Compaq Pentium laptop that I used for portable web browsing and telnet sessions.

Putting aside all the sleazy parts for a moment, there is some good advice on actually writing a cold outreach email. But this part seems mistaken, or at least would be if I were your outreach target:

> My best rule for writing good subject lines is that they feel like they could be the subject lines of an internal email—this helps them feel natural in the inbox. For example, “Quick question”, or “Idea for better outbound” are two casual, natural-feeling subject lines.

I immediately delete any email with a subject line like “quick question”. It does not give me any reason to think I will get any value from it, and what are the chances I will care about answering whatever the question turns out to be? I’m not sitting around waiting to answer questions from strangers, so an email subject line has to tell me what I’m being offered for me to invest that time. In fact “quick question” is already asking me for something (“answer my question”) which just seems unreasonable from an unsolicited email.

My grandma always told me when she couldn’t go on her walks anymore she didn’t consider life worth living. When she got dementia she was placed in a closed hospice, to “protect her”. Now she only walks when I visit, and I only see a shell of the woman she was.

Anecdotal of course, but why do people think it’s an ethics question when society is individualistic as can be? There is no choice in being born, why don’t we get a choice in when we leave?
Show HN: SkincareMate – I Built A Chrome extension to simplify skincare shopping
Hi HN,

I built SkincareMate to help people quickly find skincare products that match their skin type and concerns making it 100% personalized.

It started when I saw my wife spending hours comparing products and copying ingredient lists between apps. I built this tool to save her (and now others) time and energy.

SkincareMate scans ingredient lists from any e-commerce site, matches them with your skin profile from a quick skin quiz, provides a color-coded breakdown of ingredients, highlights your skin concerns, and gives an overall match percentage.

It’s live and free to try. I’d love to hear your feedback!

I agree entirely :) It's why I prefer to use the MIT / Apache Dual license (and generally to avoid the GPL in certain contexts).

Apache's condition is more explicit and nicer from the attribution perspective

It was typing the warning letter by letter, slowly.
A lot of newer devs seem to have this attitude. They start a little hobby project and think they solved all problems of the world and start shouting about their project on social media and forums... in reality, the project is just a toy, of course, much of the time. But the users may not have a clue and may believe the author if they get enough hype. I think that at least one example of that which had very real consequences is the V Programming Language. It attracted quite a lot of hype, and there's not so much "hype budget" to go around with PLs. They started getting quite a lot of donations and sponsors, despite never delivering on most of the points that made their project unique, while other more serious projects, like Zig and Nim, which were really delivering good stuff, for some time didn't get as much attention. I think Andrew Kelly himself expressed this feeling at some point (sorry if it wasn't him, my memory is haze).
> Incredibly bad track record of supporting products that don't grow.

That's irrelevant to me as a user if I've already invested my time into the product.

To an extent all companies do it. Google just does it much more, to a degree that I tend to ignore most Google's launches because of this uncertainty.
Yes I would want the sqrt function to throw an exception if a JSON object was passed instead of a number. Sqrt is only defined for numbers. What would you prefer the code to do in that scenario?

Of course a caller passing a json object to a sqrt function would be in error. This error should be discovered by testing the component which does that.

> The whole point of tests is to ensure your code doesn't trigger runtime errors caused by contract breaches.

IMHO the purpose of tests is to verify that code works correctly. Of course this implies it doesn’t throw unwanted exceptions but that is only a small part of correctness. Sqrt in not correct just because it doesnt throw an exception on a numeric input, it have to return the correct value.

Testing that a component or function works correctly also automatically implies that alle necessary internal contracts are followed. The reverse is not the case.
Good call. I had not considered the OAuth provider acting nefariously.
Thanks for responding and sharing the details.
I have nothing against NordVPN. I just generally agree with the statement that VPN users are either nerds or employees of companies that mandate it. But at the same time, I see Nord aggressively advertising to the general population - genuinely curious how successful that might be.

I decided to try this recently on my first browser extension and so far the experience has been good.

Sometimes the websocket connection for the hot reload dies but apart from that I've been quite impressed.

Just abstracting away the different manifest files and using the webextension polyfill is all I need and it works.

The only shame is how abysmal the experience is in Firefox I find myself preferring to debug the extension in Chrome as getting to the debugger in Firefox is such a pain. And I use Firefox as my primary browser so it's not because of a Chrome bias I say this. The Firefox folks could really improve the UX here.
> You can’t solve the problem of understanding norms by writing copy

You can mitigate the problem by adding a short summation before or in between something they're likely to read.
I think the statistics speak for themselves. There were exactly two famous incel terrorists aka Elliot Rodger and another guy whose name I don't remember. They both lived in the US and honestly the only thing that connects them with other shooters is that they had guns.

This type of terrorism did happen in Germany i.e. the "Halle" shooter, but he had to rely on homemade weapons with his own black powder ammunition and his attack failed, because his guns weren't strong enough to breach doors at a synagogue. What he did do is shoot a random woman passing close by (less than 5m distance) who was angrily glaring at him and then he went to a random kebab shop to shoot up an immigrant, before the police caught him.

It's really mostly a matter of keeping guns away from people who shouldn't have access to them.
Because half of society is a labour camp without guard towers- and if the slaves leave the camp it collapses in on itself.
I think that's the point? The title is grabbing for attention, but the point of laws to choose assisted dying is basically always that people with terminal conditions often are in such pain that they choose a peaceful death over extending the pain.

You can read this title in an alarming way or just the same in a way that says "the law is working and people actually want this option".
It also doesn't pass the smell test for me because some of the most long-lived, relatively cancer-resistent populations like the Japanese eat carb based diets. That's hard to explain if it really is just a case of replacing glucose in the fuel mixture with fat and ketones.

+1 for the 'grandpa diet', I also feel best eating normally
I don't think you need to try very hard to convince a terminally-ill patient in constant agony to end it, poor or not.

My 93 year old grandmother has COPD and she wants to end her life but cannot. She is NOT poor.

In her state in the US, a bipartisan bill was introduced to allow for euthanasia but the religious extremists killed it.

She coughs so badly, even on oxygen with frequent albuterol treatments, that she is constantly fracturing her ribs and spine and going on regimens of narcotics to keep the pain down to bearable levels-- which cause unending constipation and generally scramble her brain.

Can't move, can't talk, can't breathe, can't sit without pain, can't even shit.

Can't die either.
Canada has, to the best of my knowledge, a single documented instance of a single case worker who suggested MAID to perhaps as many as five veterens.

Not one was talked into euthanasia, complaints were made, oversight is strong, the case worker dismissed, further guardrails added, and even had any of the veterens chased up on the MAID suggestion there were secondary layers in place that required interviews with other medical professionals.

This HN thread already has several links to the same case (eg: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/christine-gauthier-assisted... and https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/veterans-maid-rcmp-investig...) it's well publicised.

> The average young man wants mutual compassion and respect from their social circles and loyalty and being loved from their girlfriend.

Everybody wants that, including the potential girlfriends, but a functional relationship requires 2 well-adjusted parties. The average level 2 druid also wants respect from their guild and a trusty side-kick, but they may have to grind for those things and go on some side quests. No one is owed a partner, especially if they are unable to compromise (the grease of all social interactions).

> Porn rot is an online myth that exists to justify demonizing men

Fortunately,there is scientific research[1] in the field, so we don't have to go with our gut-feeling. Modeling behavior on scripted pornography leads to socially unacceptable behaviors in real life. A female acquaintance was recently propositioned by the man she had just started dating for an 3-way "encounter" involving her sister (as in full sibling); I think "porn rot" is the right description of what led him down the road of thinking it was a perfectly reasonable request to verbalize. This put an end to the relationship, but I'm sure he might be out there somewhere complaining about how he's being unfairly rejected by women.

> ...who don't live up to traditional gender expectations.

every generation has a subculture like this, and in the past, they accepted, and gloried even, that they were a subculture instead of demanding to be accepted by the mainstream (beatniks, punks, goths, emos, etc).
