Weird to contextualize this as "put on glasses".

Like, I have a cellphone with a high resolution camera in my pocket - it would be more then enough to be able to have it image recognize the parts I should be looking for and highlight which bolt I undo next (and ideally, hint and show an arrow if I'm looking at the wrong thing).

One of my primary uses of YouTube videos over service manuals is just to confirm that when it says "undo the secondary philangy bolts" that I'm clear on exactly what that is.

That said, I don't even think that's the key use-case: the key use-case would be letting those YouTubers include the image tags to the right part of the video, since half the benefit is seeing someone who's done it show how they do it, and how they move and place the parts (which usually avoids some "buy Manufacturer Service Tool 3 and 19 to undo intermediate part 81).
I was at a Brit Floyd concert (cover band super highly recommended) and during the few Division Bell songs everyone was running to use the bathroom so as to not miss the real Floyd music. :)
This makes me feel a lot better about my $300 .ai domain purchase for a side project I immediately shelved, but I suppose it's the same impulse just with deeper pockets.

I’ve heard from some recent YC videos that people have been making these friend finder apps for something like 20 years. Is this true? And if it is, what are some previous apps that are similar to this one?
I can’t positively claim that’s the case but I wouldn’t be surprised if your registrar has to give out your information if a valid legal claim comes in.
There's definitely an ideal setup that's needed in order for it to work. I'm also not quite sure what part of the other person being present causes me to focus better (i.e., whether it's the presence vs good ideas and feedback).

I'm leaning toward saying that the main issue for me is that I need to keep my focus on things that are active engagement rather than more passive engagement like taking notes versus just reading a passage.
Well that entire dogma is giving us monsters like Mother Theresa who thought that by letting people in her care suffer she made it more likely they will make it to heaven - and well, the Catholic Church has agreed with that interpretation and made her a Saint.

This was touched upon in a game called Indika released this year......there's a story there how a guy ended the suffering of his young child who was in constant pain, and was told by a priest during confession time "well you see by killing your son you condemned your soul to eternity in hell, but your child is now definitely in heaven, so actually you did a good thing by sacrificing yourself!". And so the guy went and killed the rest of his family, having come to a logical conclusion that he can't get any more condemned to hell than he already is, but if he guarantees that his entire family goes into heaven then surely that's an absolutely amazing thing to do. I don't know if this was based on a true story or not, but the logic totally applies.
Also as a great symbolism of our times: An Indian beat a Chinese. India is rising while China is already in decline.
Pretty interesting idea - we really need more ways to nudge us to connect in real life. I actually created a fun little platform for people to try niche social networks together in a 30-day "cohort" and this seems like a great example of a social network that would be fun to discuss!

I've been extolling the educational (and entertainment) possibilities of lightweight portable A.R. ever since the first prototypes of Google Glass.

- Imagine being able to look down at a breadboard, and have it overlay explanations, diagrams, realtime current flows, etc.

- Anyone in the UNIVERSE who has ever had to learn card manipulation, juggling from a book or even a video knows how annoying it is to have to mentally reverse the picture in your head while trying to learn it. Imagine putting a person in front of you who is juggling (mills mess, box pattern, etc) and slowing it down to exactly see how to learn it.

- Imagine being able to practice drawing by putting a model of any human in the center of your room, and walk around it as you sketch on actual canvas.

- Imagine being able to head to the nearest open soccer field, and throw down a bunch of ninjas throwing ninja stars at you, and you have to physically duck and weave while running full tilt down the field.

These took me a grand total of 10 minutes to think of. Anyone who doesn't understand the potential of AR simply lacks vision. (no pun intended)
Good questions !

In a sense, the whole world is leveraged now. We can monetize everything. If you want to understand a bit about finance Matt Levine newsletter is excellent.

He talked about how a singer can be a billionaire in today's world. Just calculate the present value of his future expected revenues, and sell a portion of it. A company of 1.

Re your question - if Musk or Bezos decided to liquidate their holdings, both stocks would crash, but probably not in the same proportion.

Amazon is a very established business with big, consistent profit and while it's valuation is high, it's not outrageous. Tesla on the other hand, has 99% of it's valuation derived from future promises and Musk's personality. If he was to sell a significant part, the stock would crater 90% (and mind you, if it craters 90% it would still be worth more than Ford and GM combined !).
I will define it for you:

immature: "I know what life means and this is not the meaning of life" OR "we should not burden others with our remorse and pain and so share nothing with anyone lest it cause them pain too." (I hope I don't have to elaborate how this is immature.)

arrogant: "who knows better what I need than me? I know it well enough that no one else matters"

selfish: "If I am the one who wants something, why can't I have it? who are you to say I can't have what I want?"

suicide is a mental disease and a psychological imbalance. The suicidal need a redefinition of what life means.

It’s a bit more nuanced, you don’t need a Impressum for purely personal websites without financial background. Evaluating a business idea would probably count as financial motive though, even if it isn’t currently monetized.
Just as a fan of the music, I picked up the DVD set he released a few years ago. It was delivered to the office I was working at the time, and it was a slow day so we popped it in for a watch. Talking about a let down. It was the exact Waters droning on sentiment the GP had.
Reminds me of the "hear a pin drop" Sprint commercials from the late 80's/early 90s.
Not the OP, but I think fear of loss is part of it. But a lot of it is just an entrenched/assumed (and IMO not particularly justified) moral valuation of life above all else.

My own view is that a happy life has value. Death is neutral (for the person who dies - it's affect on others may be either positive or negative). And that (all else being equal), causing someone to live an unhappy life has negative moral value.

That latter bit seems to be something that many people not only disagree with, but don't even give proper consideration. Perhaps due to stigma around devaluing of life, so evolutionary bias towards life, or perhaps because their own life is good enough that they find it hard to empathise with those for whom life is an overall negatige experience.
> Who are you to judge whether someone who has lived for over seven decades should go on living or not?

When an old man claims this, that is arrogant.

> to force people to live

I don't think anyone can force another to live beyond their ill-fated death.

Not to society, but to their loved ones. Whether their children via inheritance or their spouse they didn't bankrupt.
That is a very good point.

To be fair, that is also the one issue with abortion that is legitimate. I am very pro-choice but also horrified by the reality that women sometimes are pressured to have abortion for economic reasons. Still I think that allowing abortion is a net good even when there is still economic imbalance.

As for euthanasia, I think it is similar. We need to fight for a stable society with good social safety and access to medical services for all while also giving people the rights to decide on how they want to go. (At least for older people, I think for younger people there is too much risk they would have changed their mind and should only be allowed when it is medically certain that they will die soon).

My hope is when cases of euthanasia for economic reasons happen, people will be horrified and it will put pressure into improving the system. But maybe I am naive.

Division Bell came out and took me a while to appreciate, but man I like that album as much as Dark Side and Meddle. I'm not saying they are all equal, just that I like them all equally. Gilmour is definitely my favorite bender of strings.
Makes me think back to Foursquare - it didn't tell anyone anything in advance but it did tell you who else was at your exact location.

Depending on your permissions and if you would let it know about Facebook events, calendar events, etc. then you might get notifications or see when someone is going to be going to the same restaurant, etc. I think events is the key, while you're focused a bit on city. They do specify event so that's something, perhaps.
Google as a first class partner is a massive liability. Example: Stadia was amazing and they snuffed it in the cradle.

Samsung should license Google App store, but retain full control for executing a product launch.

CHLIA (the Canadian Health and Life Insurance Association) does not treat MAID as suicide. In addition, most plans cover suicide after two years of coverage regardless.
I would think it's like committing suicide, so no payouts. (in America)

Where is your cutoff for lightweight?

I personally am a big fan of self-hosting Sentry via their Helm chart. It's quite easy if you know your way around Kubernetes, but it probably also doesn't qualify as lightweight.
What if governments couldn’t create cute names like MAID?

I know it seems silly that a cute name would make something more likable because it shouldnt but i think probably it does, and what is the defense for having them anyway?

That’s not what life is about in Christianity at all. Life is about choice in Christianity. Freedom. You can choose to live for yourself or for others, for the world. Dwelling on one’s suffering is a form of egoism that distances one from others and thus God. That’s why suicide is a sin in Christian theology, because it arises from individualism, which denies the Holy Spirit that comprises and composes us all. Asking “why don’t they have the right to kill themselves” is the wrong question from such a theological standpoint. The right question is “why aren’t we rushing to their aid, especially when we have the chance to prevent the type of suffering that would inspire such egoism.” That opportunity certainly won’t always exist, sometimes organisms just break, it’s just the risk of material existence, and coping with that powerlessness is also a part, no doubt the hardest part, of shedding ego.
I watched the press conferences, and I agree that misevaluation was a big part of the problem. But even in game 6 for example, there is no way he could think he was not better after black refused the queen trade, and he just kept pressing for that trade. So yes, call that lack of confidence - but its still not what I want to see in the world champion.
That's a nice extinction to ISO 8601.

This is the nature of government agencies. Budgets are set by inertia, not need or output.

When I worked for an agency, there was always a mad rush at the end of the year spending millions on useless crap. The rationale was that any budget surplus would be reallocated and cut from next years budget, putting future programs at risk.
Usual disclaimer regarding the energy density of gasoline: current gasoline engines have an efficiency of 10-30% while EVs are around 90%.

I switched to dvorak a few years ago and to thumb-key this year. I would say that thumb-key is much easier to learn than dvorak. I simply switched to it and about three months later, I realized I had gotten up to almost my original typing speed without any directed effort. I originally typed at 45 wpm on AnySoftKeyboard, and now I type at 40 wpm on thumb-key. This is in contrast to dvorak, which took six months of at least 15mins a day of dedicated practice time to surpass my original speed.

He pretty much says nothing, and the article uses him as a mouth piece to give other individuals mentioned legitimacy.
Most honest gloomful comment so far, and need I say selfish.
> Why should someone know how to change a wheel?

Because if your car tyre blows out on the motorway causing a an accident because you didn't check the pressure. You should of known that by not checking your wheel, even just kicking it to gauge the pressure.

> Why should people experiment with cooking?

I'm not saying should. If people like simple food, great. If people want dead food like McD, fine.

I find the best part of cooking is experimenting. Making the same cheese toastie over and over again gets boring. The same with pizza.

> You're telling people what they should enjoy

No I'm not. I'm not telling you shouldn't be on HN right now. I'm saying there are definitely should's in life you should know without needing some sort of technological device. Like how to look after your car so you don't cause a catastrophe.

Should an airline not look after their aeroplanes? Boeing didn't and look what happened.

Thanks for the link. It affirmed my understanding of church teaching. Medically assisted nutrition and hydration become morally optional when they cannot reasonably be expected to
prolong life or when they would be excessively burdensome for the patient or would cause significant physical

I spent about 2 hours on this so far today. I have yet to dig in. This will be a major time investment.
thanks for providing evidence that these two things don't need to contradict.
My hypothesis would be that white people in Canada, and especially Quebec, are culturally very ok with MAID due to being less religious than other groups (on average). Since at least as far as I know most if not all religions condemn suicide/assisted suicide.

Culturally (though I have no data point but my own) my friends and family tend to be very comfortable with discussing death and assisted-dying. It's just not really taboo.
The `-v` was in reference to the common convention of one or more `v` flags increasing the verbosity of logging.
I'm guessing you mean the reports are fake, or at least the ones seeding the panic, generated by bots, social media ads, or something. Once you hit a critical mass, hysteria kicks in, and the chain reaction becomes self-sustaining. A psy-ops weapons test, basically. I think this is very possible, and yes it could be a prank in this case, but it should not go unpunished if so.
I find it interesting that searchable history of computer activity is a problem with enough interest that independent developers have worked on solutions themselves, some of them open source. But a company like Microsoft ought to have much more resources such that they can fix these edge cases or realize they can't fix them all and design the service accordingly.

So I guess my question is: is a company as big as Microsoft that approaches this problem space doomed to fail from the start, because of the perception issues? Would this be any different if say Apple had developed a Recall alternative and they also found it impossible to censor credit card information in an arbitrary Notes window someone whipped up as an edge case, like in the article? Or could a stricter (outward) stance on privacy make it palatable again?

Suppose if everything were assured to be kept under enough layers of encryption and the data wasn't synced online at all, would storing a credit card number surreptitiously captured on my computer be seen as much better if it's Microsoft/Apple I have to trust to engineer their AI recall feature in a secure manner?
What about "debug"? I think the important part about stderr is that it's "meta" info about how the program is running (or ran) rather than what the program is intended to produce as output. This seems pretty similar to what often is referred to as the "debug" level of logging (which includes lower levels of logging like warnings and errors).
Works fine in FF on Fedora.
Is there a similar volumetric equivalent measurement or is it all about energy density by weight? Like, if the batteries are lightweight but massive, that would also be a bit of a problem since the structure to safely transport a large volume could be expensive and heavy.
What right do you have to say this woman shouldn't be allowed to end her life though?

She spoke to two different doctors and they both agreed to sign off on her death. Do you think the doctors are the ones pushing people to off themselves because they can't live a normal life?

Forcing someone who wants to take the state sanctioned approach to suicide (as opposed to a 9mm sandwich) to talk to two medical professionals seems fine to me. Maybe there's some infinitesimal chance both those two doctors want as many people to die as possible, but eh.

Or, you know, they agreed that she deserved the ability to end her life on her terms. Most people do not take a year to plan and carry out their suicide. Speaking to a doctor is usually the only intervention necessary to help someone looking to suicide for temporary reasons.

When I was suicidal, having to get paperwork done would have stopped me from seeking out this method. Why would I want to interact with a doctor, another doctor, some bureaucracy, and now the news, when instead I could go to Walmart and walk out with a helium cylinder, a plastic bag, a hose, and some tape for $50?

A government doesn't HAVE to legalize euthanasia to push sad, lonely, poor, hurting individuals to kill themselves, they just have to continue defunding medical care and saying "Nope, nothing we can do here, you just have to suffer, can't afford to do better than that".
There is Open Headset Interconnect Standard, https://ohis.org/, for standard headset connection using RJ-45. But I can't tell if anyone uses it. I wonder if could make boards like this for different adapters.

I sort of wonder if USB Audio would be a better way to connect headsets. Go from standard audio ports or headset ports to USB, and then USB with these connectors. The hard part is what to with the PTT pin. I guess the downside is power.

QW and a symbol were all on one key in a T shaped layout - Q top left, W top right, symbol below, you could just hit the key as-is and let predictive text/auto-correct do it's thing (badly, at the time).

The more interesting way to use it was to swipe on the key in the direction of the letter/symbol you wanted.

It was really quite good, and a shame it never caught on.
It's impossible to discover novel phenomenon if you are unwilling to start without evidence. Meanwhile, you yourself _just_ made a meta-theory, without any burden whatsoever.
Yes, I would avoid them too. Compounded with corruption and other issues, pharmaceutical plants are regulated at a state level and the regulations vary widely. In some states, like Gujarat, the minimum level for the active ingredient to be be present in a drug is 0%. You can be getting a placebo and not be able to do anything against them because it is fully legal. From people I know in the business, it is quite common to have very large variations in active ingredients in a compound and blatant disregard for safety norms. Largely though, the poorer quality drugs are sent to African countries and higher quality end up in Western markets.

I was way productive at home, but often times I felt work from home was actually too intense and it was easier to go into work.

But here was always my problem, it is really hard to differentiate between the smart slackers at home and the hard working ones. And more than once, I was burned by really smart people who wanted to use their super powers to slack off.
