You mean the belief in Christian fundamentalist version of the soul? U my view it doesn't say anything about not believing in soul, but it can be interpreted as lack of belief that somebody can control their soul.
I wouldn't be surprised. I think that is a separate point than the one I was interrogating.
What are the statics for workload over that period? Facilities monitored and locations? Drug submissions, volumes, complication of submissions now verses 30 years ago, etc?
My memories of Ashton-Tate are weirdly the non-dbase products, mostly the ones the acquired.

I specifically remember Multimate, the Word Processor, and Framework, the "office suite" I guess.

But dbase was 90%+ of what Ashton-Tate did so the success of that made of broke the company.
> It must be bizarre to be so celebrated when you have so little autonomy and your consciousness is barely online.

I think you’re right that it’s “weird” for most folks that age.

That said, folks with good parents/mentors/coaches will be properly humble, realizing that they basically achieved table stakes for “playing the game” (literal or figurative) at the next level.

In sports, I think the Mannings in general and Arch Manning in particular have been kept properly grounded despite a great deal of fanfare over anything they did.

In academics, I have seen quite a few professor’s kids who are keenly aware that early achievements that are sometimes celebrated by a wide audience will eventually be just one brick in the wall of their career.
LibreOffice has one built-in. I don't know anyone that uses it though, which is sad, because it seems to work fine.

It seems we have decided to go the SaaS route instead and you get online only things that sort of play at Access, but "with cloud".
>Most people prefer the inefficient and imperfect group chat because it’s personal.

It's small-scale, has high barriers to entry, and entirely user-directed. In other words, the exact opposite of what makes money in profit-driven social networking. And that's exactly why group chats are so great.
Cool, glad to see another player. If I was gaming still, i'd try one out.
It’s a nice idea. I know someone who released something super similar called TreeTop. There’s also something I’ve been getting ads for called NomadTable. There’s an urge for connection out there.
It's listed as a "similar app" in the README. I think it has a similar feature where you can swipe on keyboard keys to type different characters.
"Very well" is subjective - they sold only something like 1 million devices, which is way below even Google Pixel phone numbers.

But regardless, i stated my position, not other people's position.
This. Access is a very powerful package to quickly slap down a structured data model with data entry forms and report generators. The benefit is that it automatically guarantees consistency in data entry and processing. Spreadsheets are notoriously bad at enforcing structure.
So now I have to ask-- what's the health risk of eating singed pieces of egg with each breakfast?

I mean, it's plainly evident that mental illness is associated with poverty, which is itself associated with homelessness. Here (https://care.org.uk/news/2024/10/poor-lonely-and-homeless-op...) is an article that references a report that says that people are opting for MAID for non-terminal illnesses and that those who do so are disproportionately likely to be from poorer areas. It also mentions at least one person who specifically mentioned lack of access to housing when opting for MAID. Granted, CARE is blatantly against MAID but the cherries they're picking are in the tree to be picked.
Alas, actually, it can be.

You can make both errors with false positives and false negatives at the same time.
> Most people prefer the inefficient and imperfect group chat because it’s personal. Most people can’t imagine anything worse than bringing more technology into their personal relationships.

Group chat has been a thing since the late 90s and remains superior in my mind as well. It often seems like the real problem some of these apps are trying to solve is that there's no good way to monetize group chat.
My sample size as an adult is still small, but I've seen this in pets and I've seen this in humans.

The downward slope quickens faster than any would like once it starts. The body or the mind slips away, leaving someone either trapped in a shell that doesn't work, or momentary fragments of the person who was among a sea of futile vapid existence.

Our medical technology is not there and shows little sign of being close to resolving either issue.

Rather than slowly wasting away I too would rather have the option to twist to the side off the cliff rather than the long slow painful stair tumble down the hill.
Beautiful app and thank you to the developers

Contemporary-ism is one of the most severe cognitive blind-spots. We have a tendency to see the past from today's perspective -- today's borders, norms, regimes, languages, ethnicities.

Nearly all of the countries today didn't exist 200 years ago, not to mention 600 years ago. Even the ones that share the same names had different ethnicities, regimes, languages, cultures, religions. They were hardly the same people. What was "Germany" or "Poland" 200 years ago?

Look at Lithuania in 1400 . One of the greatest kingdoms of Europe for centuries. Today most people look at Lithuania as a tiny , former soviet country (Sorry Lithanians, I don't , but it's true).

What will people think of the UK in 100 years?

Why can't the foundational belief be that we have a soul that has been sundered from our Creator by The Enemy during a primordial Manichean duel and keeping it separate is the highest sin and only by returning it to where it properly belongs are doing good?

It isn't like the only two options are "the Christian conception of a soul" and "the atheists rejection of the conception of a soul".
The foundry also very much relies on Intel as a customer, and as a semi captive customer who is tolerant of the fab climbing the yield curve using Intel wafers to bring that up. I don't know if the board has thought this through.
I used to use vimac (https://github.com/nchudleigh/vimac) when I had macbook. I was pretty happy with it. I liked its interface. Its interface was inspired by Vimium extension on browser.
Yes!

I sometimes just refuse to continue with sites that start as blank without JS, or require many clicks in NoScript to turn on layers and layers of JS.

On my current main site most pages have no JS at all, and only on a couple is it essential, though those are old pages.
We agree that it's always about tradeoffs. I just think there are probably more complex and less transparent (and potentially negative) tradeoffs with ending subsidies if the goal is reducing obesity. It doesn't mean subsidies are good, but just that they are more loosely aligned with obesity than you let on.

I just don't see how it's a more effective strategy given the fact that it's a much more complicated apparatus to do the same thing (raise prices on food). Your position seems to be, stated differently, that higher prices lead to a deterrent to overconsumption and that reducing subsidies is the best way to increase prices. Logically, I can’t find a way that is a better mechanism than affecting prices directly and in a more targeted manner with less tangential effects. It reads to me as a way to find a rationale to go after a particular policy one doesn't like, rather than being focused on the problem at hand (obesity).
>Right now if Google can earn more from using their TPUs than they would selling them (ie profitably utilize them) they would be crazy to sell them.

People in countries that are still free should take it away from them and legally protect direct money transfer between people. Cash, anonymous cryptocurrencies,etc, so that no middleman can ever take someone's money.
I’m certainly a big fan of the European lifestyle (which was in some sense foretold by Bertrand Russell’s In Praise of Idleness, where he argued that raw labor will become less necessary in the future and people should spend more time indulging in high value creative activities).

I do wonder if it’s possible to sustain without some form of labor and innovation however. A lot of what Europe enjoys today was the result of past innovation and labor. Europe doesn’t exist in a vacuum and there are competitive forces at work — even if it doesn’t aspire to grow economically, it will in some sense decline in relative terms if the rest of the world grows faster.

Decline can be slow but it can also be quick. Germany for instance has declined significantly in the past few years due to its reliance on Russian gas. It probably doesn’t feel like it on the ground but if you look at the numbers Germany is not currently doing well (though it still has lots of competitive advantages, not least its people).

Japan has also declined significantly in relative terms since the 90s despite not appearing like it has, but if you’re a Japanese young person your prospects for career growth is actually fairly limited so most people who were in the lost generation are conditioned to have modest ambitions. Japanese people are still some of the most able people in the world but the cultural proclivity towards making rapid advances has been muted significantly. Its hard to launch startups or to do anything that isn’t incremental there.

Some folks are thinking we’d all be happier if we were hobbits living a bucolic self sustaining existence insulated from the rest of the world. But that kind of life is only possible because someone else took care of Mordor.

Quality of life is more fragile than we think. Civilizations decline from complacency.
It costs like $500 per user per year now. I'm sure that doesn't help.

They could have prevented a lot of the backlash by not forcing it on people.
Who are you to judge whether someone who has lived for over seven decades should go on living or not? If they feel their life is done, have nothing left to live for, and fear degenerating into a husk of their former selves (dementia) stuck inside a broken brain for as long as their body holds out, than why should they hang on?

It's arrogant and selfish to force people to live on for as long as doctors can keep their body alive. No euthanasia just means more messy suicides.
yes. i’ve seen the sausage being made. the quality of the factories making the drugs varies wildly. and the factories where the brand names make them are generally much higher quality in all respects.

edit not to mention the processes can be wildly different too as those are not part of the initial disclosure to get patent protections.

That's going to be interesting if they intend to sell the fabs. A lot of that money is contingent on Intel not selling them off. Which makes sense: if you take a multi billion dollar subsidy and then just sell the thing that you built with it it's a bit of an obvious money grab.

Show HN: Surfer Protocol – Export and build applications with your personal data
Hey everyone, we built a local-first, open-source framework to allows you to export and build applications with your personal data.

This August, we built a digital footprint exporter (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41325719) that allowed people to get back their personal data, but there was no way to interact with it. So we added a python package, improved the reliability of the exporting, and implemented a unified JSON structure across platforms.

How it works:
- Electron’s built-in webview element is used to navigate to the platform’s website and the user can connect their account. A CSS selector is used to determine if the user has successfully connected their account. Then, the data is exported through intercepting the network requests and using the cookies and auth token to make requests, or by automatically clicking buttons / links on the website and handling the downloading and parsing of the file. All this data is transformed into a unified JSON structure
- For iMessage, the application requires full-disk access and then runs a python script to turn the iMessage sqlite database into JSON.

How to get started:
- Download the Desktop app or run it locally from source: https://docs.surferprotocol.org/desktop/installation
- Connect your accounts and export your data
- Use the python package to interact with the data: https://docs.surferprotocol.org/sdk/python. Example applications are in the cookbook: https://docs.surferprotocol.org/cookbook/python

What do you mean? They just released new tablet and watch hardware and accompanying OS updates.
I had 2 questions:
1. what about data transmissions
2. what about using this on containers in the open seas?

The first questions is at least partly answered in the document, copied below. However, you still need a collection infrastructure to make this useful.

> Communicating locations: Localization trackers often need
a communication module to periodically update location to a
server or nearby hub. Standalone GPS trackers (e.g., [35] and
[95]) often use cellular or satellite communications to do so. LiTEfoot can incorporate an NB-IoT module for relaying location data.
Using a low-power NB-IoT transmitter [96], which consumes 76
mW to transmit a 140 kb packet in eDRX mode, the system can
intermittently send updates hourly, daily, or monthly depending on
the application. This enables LiTEfoot to operate for approximately
10 years on a coin cell. The same antenna frontend can be shared
between LiTEfoot and the communication unit, maintaining a
compact form factor while providing flexible communication
capabilities.
I didn't know about that, but they have this to say about it: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/advertising-that-targets-everyon...

I never said I was against their AFK advertising. The EU chat control advertisement was great. The NYC stuff is pretty meh. Advertisement is was on my brain. I mostly treat it like that.

I just find it weird that there seems to be so many companies spending a seemi gly infinite amount on affiliate advertisement (through bought reviews) and on influencer ads.
Thanks for digging that up.

It's a big country, so I suspect you'll find individual examples of just about anything.
I have thought about this problem a lot in the past and I feel the older you get the harder it becomes to make new friends. If you have moved to a new place then you loose all those connections slowly and it's a challenge to make new friends. At least that's what happened to me. And on top of that your financial status that defines who accepts you as a friend. Also how much you can afford and are willing to invest to make and keep a friend. Something more than can fit in an app and a problem that a business can solve for you. But I am glad someone is trying to do something about it.
