That's broken.

My wife & I were in the middle of the new dr who a few years ago, purchased on Amazon. (not rented and not prime, purchased, neither of us has prime)

Go on vacation and we could not access that show.

It doesn't matter how many other shows were available, the show I bought was artificially unavailable. Had I a dvd of the same show for the same money and the same laptop, it would have been available.

(Yes obviously I used a vpn and got around that. My awesomeness to overcome something broken does not make the thing not broken.)
True, but the general usefulness of noting prior submissions is that the principle discussion is / has occured there.

If mods have elected to promote another submission, the comment serves little or no useful purpose.

I'll usually delete my own "dupe" notice comment if I realise that's the case. I commented above to provide clarity to anyone confused by your initial comment.

(I do appreciate that you note dupes with formidable frequency and accuracy. All of us stumble occasionally.)
SEV0. That will be fun when it comes time for review.
why dont you try doing your own research. you would at least be able to say something knowledgable like the fact that the price of the snp500 is more than all the money that exists rather than insulting my intelligence with some propaganda from motley fool and morgan stanley about a public opinion survey as if thats some sort of basis for fundamental investment
I’ve had wrist pain from mouse use for about 15 years now. The first big win was a vertical mouse, but I still had pain when working excess hours or playing video games. I tried various workouts and hand exercises and they usually left me in pain

What I discovered this year is hitting golf balls is the right amount of gentle strengthening and accidental PT. I started going to the driving range regularly like 4 months ago and my wrist pain is almost entirely gone.

So mostly this is to say everyone should keep trying and not give up. Every body and injury is different. You just have to experiment and stay active.
Do you feel like open source maintainers have this attitude? I feel like its exceptionally rare in real projects. Most open source maintainers fix things and what not, but don't really care if you actually use the code or not. No money changes hands so there is no marginal benefit of one additional user.
> While this proposal will dull that threat by making Meta pay whether it hosts news or not, the government is also conscious of avoiding more drastic actions such as the company withdrawing from Australia entirely

This would be an excellent outcome for everyone. Well, everyone except politicians, and the rentseekers in the media industry who fail to run viable businesses. They'll need to go somewhere else for a handout.
Interesting timing, considering China just launched an antitrust probe into Nvidia [1] and there were earlier reports about H20 order suspension [2]. This hiring push seems to be a delicate balancing act:

- Expanding autonomous driving R&D while navigating export controls
- Maintaining Chinese market presence despite regulatory pressures
- Building local expertise when H100/A100 sales are restricted

The automotive sector might be strategically chosen as it's less impacted by current chip restrictions. Worth noting that China remains Nvidia's largest market in Asia, accounting for ~20% of their revenue.

Let me clarify. First, I'm not from the US. I completely agree with you that their healthcare system seems incredibly broken.

That, however, is not what I was referring to - I was talking about the system of laws, of democracy, etc. That was what the discussion was about - whether it's "ok" to kill someone in a vigilante way, and whether the legal system or general system of Western countries works well in terms of aligning the law to what people think it should be.
That's a great question, but sorry, I have no idea of a good langdev forum these days. Good luck!
More seriously, the site offers colors that are quite a bit too saturated and thus, when used as a background color, make (my) eyes strain.

The color combinations are sometimes pretty pleasant, e.g. check out valued like 30 or 70 or 335.

The page is missing a "contrast" slider, and also a "saturation" slider, to make the combinations more agreeable.

Also, dark highly saturated colors often look problematic unless they cover a large enough area; the --color-accent has this problem.

I think you are missing my point: I am not saying there is no entitlement or that it's not bad (I've been on the receiving end to know it's true). I am merely wondering where it's coming from. Culturally, at least most of us, are conditioned to reciprocate.
Kind of always gives me the same output over and over again. It's kinda neat though. Have to look into it and tweak it myself. Wanted to play around with gpt2 locally for quite some time.

Thanks for the post!
Hi, I am one of the editors of this story, and we have also thought about this. In my opinion, one of the reasons why WhatsApp hasn't become the "everything app" in the US is because Apple/iOS devices are very popular in the country, where as in much of the world, Android is popular thanks to the availability of cheaper devices. Apple offers a suit of apps and features, including Facetime, that's not available for Android users, which adds to the popularity of WhatsApp.
This is just one broad, unsupported assertion after another. Sloppy. It’s not that the author doesn’t prove things—you can’t expect that in an editorial—but that the assertions aren’t even argued for.
I mean, I guess if your sole goal with consuming content online is to kill free time and pound dopamine out of your brain without putting in any effort, then yeah, fair enough. I'm sure Mr. Beast appreciates your viewership.

I don't follow any creators for such a purpose. I follow creators who make interesting and meaningful things, be they YouTube videos or otherwise. The sorts of people who make a thumbnail that explains what the video is, not just one that's most likely to get attention in the algorithm. Conversely, those folks often respond to people who comment on their interesting and thoughtful things in interesting and thoughtful ways, with interesting a thoughtful replies. This is called a conversation, and it exists for purposes far beyond engagement, and is not a task well suited to AI automation (thank fucking god).

One would counter that if your (if you are indeed some sort of creator) replies are so easily automated, and your thumbnails automated, then the question must be asked... who needs you? How long until YouTube replaces you with a bot, trained on your previous videos, and tells you to kick rocks? After all, you're an unnecessary expense.
If you consider how specific you are about word choices over actions, you are repeating the western narrative verbatim.

And this take showcases the fundamental problem with giving a fuck about major narratives, and our perceived overlap with or opposition to them.

As in: "Oh gosh, in taking position X, it looks like I'm overlapping with the received narrative, which happens to roughly include position X. Which is Bad, because that narrative is on the whole Bad. Therefore I should check myself and start importing positions from, or expressing empathy with narratives from the supposedly opposite direction. Because the enemy of my enemy can't be such a bad guy, once you get to know him", or something like that.

Which seems to be what drives about 90 percent of the "If you just listen to Putin, it turns out he actually has a point with Ukraine" take. (Along with an uncritical acceptance of the web of factual distortions about what actually did happen).

When it happened, the russian people responded differently than they did in a much more idealistic period.

Except it wasn't "the Russian people" responding back then. And it certainly isn't "the Russian people" who decided to launch the current invasion.

One nation state can annoy another into an economic collapse thus destroying it.

Okay I guess, and evidently you're alluding to the 90s shock therapy advice given to Russia and associated shenanigans. Fine enough, but that wasn't "NATO". And it's when one starts boldly and utterly conflating the two (I'm guessing on the principle that they're both "The West") where things start to get loopy.

Everything thing you say ignores what the Russians have been saying about NATO expansionism, and I think that is more key to understanding both sides of the issue.

That's the thing -- we don't get to hear from "the Russians" as a people in any meaningful sense these days. By and large, we only get to hear what its current regime says (and the various statements it pretends to believe). Which has some relation to what Russians as a people think, but is at best a highly distorted and manipulated representation of what they think.

I only suggested that actions of NATO contributed to the "irritation" that drug Russia into conflict.

Your words said a lot more than that, I'm afraid. Let's replay the tape:

This lines up with what Russia says. "We do not want a military alliance that was built to destroy us expanding to our border."

It's extremely difficult to read this other than as conveying: (1) You do think this is what "Russia" (meaning its people) thinks, (2) That it's a reasonable position we should have empathy with and extend credibility to, (3) including, implicitly but unavoidably the "NATO was built to destroy Russia" part.

Instead of treating it as the obvious hogwash that it is, that no reasonably sane and informed person would ever believe.

This is absolutely ridiculous. At some point the society is going to collapse just for the sake of "children's safety" or some other related nonsense.

Why do you assume that he isn’t extremely wealthy?

Given the timeline leaving before the change and coming back after with the mentioned stock options one could almost assume it was his idea.
It’s why I made the edit. I still think it’ll end up being fatal in one way or another. Maybe someone can get past the excessive barrier. Or maybe because well behaving monopolies are less likely to get forcefully broken up. But yeah, we’re on the same page

Is sparsity used for training though? I thought it was an inference-only thing for both GPUs and TPUs. Furthermore, I think TPUs have not been able to support training models like GANs, etc. I'm not sure if that has changed now.
And 100% incompatible with all existing installations.
I also doubt Amazon will be happy about their Sidewalk mesh network getting degraded.
One thing I always dislike about Elm and most of its offshoots is the lack of good composability of widgets. In most other architectures, most widgets are registered with their parent component in one single location, and are otherwise fully self-contained.

In Elm-likes you usually need to explicitly need to connect all child components in the model _and_ view _and_ update in a way that ultimately connects all leaf components to the root component. I know that there many Elm proponents that see that as a positive (as that makes execution more transparent). However in practice that usually ends up with either overly shared Message types where logic isn't contained to the widget it belongs to, or a boatload of boilerplate just to do .map operations between a child-Message-type and it's wrapping parent-Message-type.

I think this boilerplate can be solved by some degree with good framework support (and some try), but most Elm-likes don't and it makes scaling projects in them a pain.

OK, you want a FORMAL version?

Acceptable UB: Do the exact same type of operation as for defined behavior, even if the result is defined by how the underlying hardware works.

NOT-acceptable UB: Perform some operation OTHER than the same as if it were the valid code path, EXCEPT: Failure to compile or a warning message stating which code has been transformed into what other operation as a result of UB.

> You think I'm being flip, I'm actually making an incredibly cogent point that you continue to miss, just as you missed the point of the person you replied to originally.

I think it's a bad approach to assume that you're making incredible points and I'm just not getting it, rather than assuming we're just disagreeing and that, potentially, you are wrong.

> Society is bound by social mores, not by laws, laws are intended to encode social mores and give a vehicle to systematically enforce those mores without relying on vigilantes.

Maybe we're talking past one another by talking about whether the law "matters" or not.

Social mores are against adultery. Many people do in fact commit adultery, and continue to have totally fine lives, despite this.

On the other hand, lots of people hate taxes. Try not paying your taxes, and you'll end up in jail.

I don't think the law is a reflection of social mores - almost everyone agrees that the law, while obviously based on many in society, shouldn't encompass all social mores, and has to include things that are not, prima facie, moral. You shouldn't, in general, put someone in jail for being too poor to afford food, and stealing some food. Very few people agree that that's moral in a specific instance. But if you don't jail people for stealing, very soon society breaks down.

I'm not sure which of the above, if any, you disagree with. Maybe none of it - in which case maybe we just agree with each other and are using different language to explain ourselves. If you disagree with something in specific, maybe we should drill down on that.

Fair, I don’t mean to misinterpret your point. I am somewhat triggered because so many people do miss the point.

I think people (and governments!) take OSS like a “public accommodation”, without the recognition that the concept of public accommodations are legally predicated on the existence of a business with control over usage and cost. OSS is not a public accommodation but everyone treats it as such, much to the detriment of contributors.
I also have an extra license. AM transmits up in the ballpark of 50,000W. Anything at 50,000W with toast you like a marshmallow. That has nothing to do with RF, but with the sheer amounts of power pumping through it.

I am plausibly a "scientist" who has done "science", and I'm not standing next to a AM radio tower for precisely the same reason I wouldn't stand next to a 50,000W light bulb, EMF be darned.

It's not on studies to rule out all the things you mention. The job of studies is to demonstrate that EMF does cause any of them. "EMF is safe" is falsifiable: if you can find one counterexample, it's untrue. And yet, after all the years we've been working with it, other than people who get cooked from sheer power levels, we don't have any proof that it causes those (or any) diseases.
Australia lays fiendish tax trap for Meta – with an expensive escape hatch
A Note from Our Executive Director
Governments could outlaw or down regulate business models that are based on surveillance and feed manipulation for benefit of third parties.

Conflicts of interest have always been a problem.

Now they scale.

Now there are companies with hundreds of billions of dollars of market cap, with unrelenting pressure to grow, and their business model is an obvious conflict of interest.

Things will get worse and worse until (if ever) the massive scaling of manipulative personalization is recognized as inherently deeply damaging to individuals and society.

None of that would require targeting any particular content.
In my opinion the text to code ratio is just really high. The standard itself isn't even that complex but hidden behind a huge wall of text. It's a bit sad that the most readable OAuth2 docs are from auth0.com.

The message would in principle even make sense if there was a real-world standard that was consistently adopted. Then not every SaaS would have to implement OAuth2 for the millionth time...

Or people might be less lonely. There will come a point where the online experience becomes worthless and people will place greater importance on face-to-face interaction. That's how it was 20 years ago.

If you're talking to me or reading my comment then you should care what I mean. Otherwise you're wasting your time.

Obviously "loosely speaking" is not a legal term but I'm sure there is one that means the same. I mean you need real money to buy things, not bad paper. Bankruptcy does not exist to deliver good feels to people, it exists to settle financial matters as objectively as possible.

It's more nuanced than that.

Being accepting of damaging behavior and damagers so they feel safe in the open is solving the wrong problem.
Correct. Now please picture me how your wife's kidnapper goes to the police saying that the ransom you paid exceeded $10k.

Someone who did a much more serious crime is not gonna go to law enforcement because his ass is going to be the one charged considering the circumstances.

But if a massive cash transaction is illegal good luck kidnapper doing stuff with a bulk of ransom money. Hey it may even put him off that whole kidnapping idea yeah? Or at least get him caught so he doesn't kidnap more people somewhere else

How Can a Passionate Junior Engineer Stand Out to YC Startups?
Hi everyone,

I’m an 18-year-old self-taught software developer with a deep passion for building and learning. While I don’t have formal job experience yet, I’ve poured my heart into personal projects, open-source contributions, and learning from the ground up.

I’m currently looking for opportunities to join an early-stage or growth-stage startup, especially in a technical role. Here’s what I bring to the table:

Product-First Thinking: I focus on building things that solve real user problems. I’ve worked on personal SaaS projects where I iterated based on feedback to improve usability and value.
High Ownership and Initiative: I thrive on taking full ownership of tasks, and I’m eager to contribute in any way possible—whether it’s frontend, backend, AI/ML, or infrastructure.
Fast Learner: While I may not have years of experience, I’ve quickly picked up technologies like Next.js, Prisma, TypeScript, Python, and PostgreSQL. I’m adaptable and love diving into new tools and challenges.
Relentless Work Ethic: I’m willing to start at a lower rate if needed because my priority is gaining experience and contributing to something impactful.
Hunger for Growth: I want to be part of a team where I can learn, grow, and make a difference.

Here are some questions for founders:
a) What qualities stand out the most when hiring junior engineers at your startup?
b) Is there anything I should focus on improving or demonstrating to make myself a more attractive hire?
c) How often do you consider cold outreach from candidates? Is it effective to reach out directly to startups I admire?

Lastly, if any YC founders are open to giving me a shot, I’d love to chat! I’m passionate about startups, eager to learn, and ready to work hard to prove my worth.

Thank you for your time and advice!
Garnishment is taking a portion of income, not taking the actual source of it. No business means no income, no income means no garnishment. I love how you cite Wikipedia as if grown adults here have never heard of garnishment. Then again education really is going downhill these days I guess.
A "foreseeable" natural death must also be "forefeelable". I'm glad these people don't have to live through that painful and pointless decline stage.
I see a lot of whining about skydaddy god and the kid he had killed. If I want lame fairy tale religion, I would open up X. This is just a very uninspired retelling of the bible in alien form; not even funny; the person who wrote this is either a bad fantasy/scifi writer or mentally ill (or both).
No, couldn't possibly have been wrong, because YC agreed with them. Again: you're missing what Dan is saying. The thread isn't about Dropbox-the-product. It's about the YC application Drew Houston wrote to pitch Dropbox. I really don't think there's a way to rhetoric your way out of this one!
> That said no one actually thinks that killing executives will be a sustainable way to effect change.

Oh? I think it would be rather effective—and no one expects it to be sustainable. One killing and the establishment media is already very clearly terrified. History teaches us that the only language understood by those who hold power is the language of force.
