This is such a weird take. I have no idea where you are getting your ideas from, but I don't know if you've heard of this thing we have in the UK called 'the class system'. Poor people are definitely not worshipped in the UK. And the wealthy do generally like to demonstrate their wealth in the usual ways (cars, homes, holidays, schooling, etc), so I'm wondering where you've got this idea that people in the UK somehow romanticise poverty.

> I guess, to me, what about the popular counter-example: Trader Joes. A popular mid-cost supermarket that mostly stocks their own store brands. That behavior does not feel anti-competitive or deceptive. People know that Trader Joes sells mostly their own brands, which seem to generally be thought of as good deals and quality-competitive.

I agree with that. The big difference to me is market share. Amazon and Spotify are both 800 lb gorillas who want to control the market. Trader Joes has a business model that's intended to compete in the market. Amazon and Spotify should have to play by much more strict rules in order to maintain their market dominance - that's healthy for a capitalist system, it prevents our current dilemma with consolidation and oligarchy.

> If they were somehow stopping you from playing non-house-produced music that would be one thing, but it seems fine for them to put together playlists with house-produced music and offer them to users?

Yeah, I also agree the Spotify example is more nebulous and harder to define. IMO they should not be allowed to produce the music or cut preferential deals to promote one artist over another, but the should be free to package and distribute the music they have the rights to however they see fit. I.E. they can promote <some artist> over <some other artist> they just can't do it because they made a preferential deal with the former.
I've been a major incident manager. It works great to have a hardass like me giving orders on a conference bridge: stuff gets fixed really fast! People pull out laptops at little league games and get it done. The outage is solved, and business goes on. I look like a genius.

The problem is that, if a major incident is the only process in your organization that results in things getting done in a reasonable amount of time, there is a large temptation to declare them for everything. Somebody wasted 6 months failing to renew our contract with the payment processing vendor because other stuff was being prioritized above it? Open a major incident and we'll get them to call the vendor CEO at home on Sunday. We're a big account, so they'll answer. It's the end of the fiscal year and if we don't decomm this expensive system like was promised, a VP somewhere will lose their bonus? Declare a major incident and ElevenLathe will get it done in a few hours, even if it is Thanksgiving.

I would page on-call people at any hour of the day for real emergencies without hesitation, but always asked for orders in writing to page people (not executives, but real people) who weren't on call, or for nonsense like this. This got annoying so they started assigning other incident managers to the nonsense.
I find it weird that medical bankruptcies are a thing, or people involved in car crashes demanding they don't get an ambulance and critical emergency care, because they know they'll be billed thousands or hundreds of thousands for being out-of-network.

Is there some sort of cultural blind-spot?

Or maybe each country has their own ups and downs, and we can accept that even if there is objectively a "better way" to do things, and a country's government can be convinced to try this better way, it stil has to bring the people along with it, and those millions of people all have all kinds of hangups and incentives that get in the way; politics are hard.

With regard to post-war food rationing, much of it was due to crop failure or stockpiles being ruined by terrible weather, and obviously the rest of Europe was ravaged and destroyed. But it was also political. Labour liked rationing and the Tories didn't, and the Tories stoked public anger at it. Clearly the UK citizens didn't like it, it was the main fight of the 1950 general election.... which Labour narrowly won. Then Labour called a snap election in 1951, won a record high voteshare, but narrowly lost to the Tories.

> they did this in Texas

That is not what happened in Texas. The REPs had zero say to do a rolling brownout. "Rolling" outages which became semi-permanent outages were done by the delivery companies, not the retail providers. Retail providers can't just choose to stop selling me electricity for a few hours because they think it's too unprofitable for them, that's not allowed in the contract. My REP at the time probably had some massive costs due to customers like me which didn't lose power; they folded and sold the contract to another company.

> On a variable rate you can choose to cut yourself off or not.

Once again, you clearly don't know what actually happened in Texas. Several people I know on variable rate plans lost power for days.

But hey keep speaking falsehoods instead of actually learning what happened.

Yes, flagging is a way for some people to express disapproval of what THEY don't like. A major organization makes a big statement about a major conflict. This is of general interest and would normally make front page headlines, even on HN.
The cars are objectively too easy to steal. Kia made several outright stupid design choices and decided not to spend $100 on BoM to use a tried and tested immobilizer that genuinely helps prevent car theft. They also put the key barrel switches in a location very easy to access, rather than deep in the guts of the steering wheel shaft like most manufacturers.

Kia tried to save itself a few bucks by drastically reducing their product's security. The fact that other cars aren't being stolen at nearly the same rate is itself good evidence that the thieves are just opportunists.
Ask HN: Open-source forum platform (HN style)
My group is searching for open-source software (even a pretty basic one) for a forum with up/down voting like Hacker News, but also able to help users writing posts (with AI) to respect basic forum guidelines: think of AI checking your content vs https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Any advice? (Ruby and Ruby on Rails would be preferred, followed by Python and Go.)

The frontend does not need to be great.

In details:

The basic idea is to help users avoid fallacies (or at least be aware of them) while submitting a post.

Before hitting submit (or even after), the AI could suggest if the content might contain logical fallacies, similar to those listed in List of Fallacies (I see often users hit those here, and right away some pretty gentle and smart user would answer a note to the poster: the problem is that it is super hard to have these great users engaged, that's why we are thinking of an AI feed)

A less manifest aim is to create great content on the subject, which (if we achieve what we want) will surely be good content for AI crawlers.

I know it shouldn't be that hard to create it, but it's much better to join an already developed software project (perhaps developing a plugin for it) to avoid reinventing the wheel and concentrate our development efforts on the above.

Please feel free to share your thoughts: we are super enthusiastic about this! Let me know if you need any further adjustments!

We always been missing good 3rd party search/trending for online videos.

I've been using a youtube frontend called pockettube, where I could make lists(channels) for content I like, without youtube forcing me what to watch.

Example. I have an Art and Food channels with my favorite content creators, I get to see the list in order of newest videos first, totally bypassing youtubes forced interface.

In fact, if people started creating front ends to youtube with real search/suggestion engines, you could find new content and help the less viewed but good content that gets bypassed.

Grayjay is great, since it uses multiple video providers, but you still have to "Know" who to follow. The search "Knowing" part is still word of mouth, random change of seeing a creators video, or the platforms showing it to you. Combine the 2, and it would be unstoppable.

I think if someone came up with a external database of content providers on multiple platforms that allows apps like grayjay/pockettube/etc to find new content, that is the missing piece.

But that data isn’t available to them. They are (iiuc) simply looking at the full set of insurance data and their own set. There simply is no driver-level data which would allow statistically relevant conclusions.

Up to now their data for their own cars is still not able to strongly constrain the results. You wouldn’t be able to tell effects of sensor degradation.

Some G4 were actually good looking and had a great monitor too. But to me the G3 that followed that 4400 was just as bad Apple.

I have fond memories of the OS and still own it though.

> That these two people see this as a work of art, instead of a practical thing that humans need to interface with

As a Boston resident that has had to conduct business at City Hall many times, I couldn't agree with this more. The lower level interior spaces are dark and somehow cavernous and confining at the same time, while the upstairs spaces are more of a warren of rooms and hallways. Nothing about walking in the front door makes you feel welcomed into the space. Either the actual use of the building was totally disregarded in its design, our our standards for how we expect to interact with buildings have dramatically changed since its construction.
Novo Nordisk Falls Most on Record After New Weight Drug Disappoints
Visiting All 30 Major League Baseball Stadiums with Python and SAS Viya
Spotify lost me when they cleared out the warez and at least a third of my carefully curated playlists disappeared.

The practice described in TFA aligns with their union busting and they are fundamentally a politically activist organisation rather than a business trying to serve a market. Piratbyrån, which started the Pirate Bay, was a rather socialist project, and Spotify did basically the same thing but as reactionary activism that subsequently was accepted by the entertainment industry elites.

If you enjoy background noise, just go for some web radio, there are tens of thousands of channels, many ad free. When you hear an artist you like there's a good chance they're on Bandcamp so you go there and give them ten bucks. Try Transistor in F-Droid for example.

Unless, of course, you support the politics Spotify represent. Then your monthly fee is a more direct donation than going through a political party that will then use state bureaucracy and so on to funnel money and power from work to owners.
Political leaders calling each other names is obviously not on topic for HN. It's not a borderline call.

They quite possibly use the same LPX-40 logic board design.

Going by the developers note Apple created for it, the LPX-40 is somewhat interesting, but the PowerMac 4400 is basically the most "boring" and normal Mac like configuration. PS/2 and VGA connectors, PC style MFM only manual eject floppy drives, support for "hard power" configurations and an AT like PSU connection - they were really going for "shove this into a PC case, and you've got a Mac". Also, Apple could've fitted a PPC604...
Mountain ranges and forests are soulless too, but they're still quite special and can be inspiring.
I think this is a hard problem to solve for a couple of reasons.

- Skew of supply and demand. There will be always be another musician willing to earn less money because they still get to do their ”dream job”.

- The need for background music. No matter how joyless it feels to produce this stuff, there’s a need for it.

I think companies like Epidemic offers an alternative route for musicians to earn some money on the side of their artistic vision.

Biggest issue which is more a philosophical one is how Spotify is shaping how we consume music.
The simplicity isn't in editing it, which most users never will do. It is in that you can drop a single file anywhere and not worry about its dependencies.

Show HN: The SaaS Prince
I spent my 42nd birthday generating 100% pure AI slop.

I adapted Machiavelli The Prince to the Silicon Valley context, using Sonnet. It took a 6-hour+ non-strop spree to write a 81 pages, and it's kind of an instructive read!

Rather than making any line edits, I was able to share high level feedback over the first few chapters and keep regenerating. This process was awesome - I could be extremely ruthlessly critical for hours on end and it didn't hurt Claude's feelings, they just improved, until it was effectively "trained". We're all used to that with objective contexs like coding, but in a subjective context it was a different and really good feeling, like working with an incredibly mature friend in your band.

Because philosophical texts are short, you can write adaptations that maintain your feedback to the end, making it easier and easier to generate later chapters with no intervention.

One of the better collaborative experiences I've had! Once we have agents ready, should kind of just adapt all classic philosophical texts to allegories about DHH, AMD, and uh, Quibi.

Enjoy!
