Maybe? I wouldn't think that changes the point much.

RFK is absolutely right on a few things, but that doesn't make him an automatic force for good.

If it's for spying on Chinese people inside Chinese territory, there wouldn't be any need to hide it.
I had a few use cases with searching and organizing emails I would have used. For example, I wanted a table of all my Lyft rides from a certain year with distances driven, start/end locations, cost, etc. All that info is available in the email you get after riding, so I figured Gemini could read my emails and organize the info.

Turns out it doesn't work at all. It gave me a random selection of rides, was missing info in some of them, and worst didn't realize it was giving me bad info. Pretty disappointing.
I guess that in the previous iOS version it was possible to find the privacy settings using the search.
Your argument doesnt really make sense : there are no EE jobs in the use, therefore no one wants to pursue EE jobs, therefire there are no EE jobs.

Cool, you can use the argument I was replying to for everything too. I guess we're back to square one then.

If you think skiing and cooking have as much of a negative impact as social media as on entire generation of kids I doubt we'll find common ground to go further, usually it requires a bit of good faith
I'm not disputing that the German economy has issues, but is a large number of companies with a P/E ratio over 100 really a sign of a healthy economy?

Explosive growth can only continue for so long before the bubble bursts.
What? Bush Sr. or Bill Clinton would never have allowed a hostile foreign government to own a major communications platform.
There is more than one kind of charisma.

Some people have a positive charisma that comes out of treating people well. I'd expect this from the captain of a sports team.

I knew someone who had a negative charisma, who was criminally minded. He was popular among drug users at my school because he would take more chances and thus have the best supply. He got caught on tape selling 3 kilo of cocaine to a cop after I'd graduate. He had a talent to motivate other people into criminal activity and became the leader of a gay bashing gang that seemed to mainly target straight allies because this was the 1980s and folks like that were probably scared about getting AIDS.

I don't picture the elementary school bully as being particularly popular, but he certainly gets deference from the other students. I think of the popular kids in school as being genuinely likeable even if they didn't take a stand against bullies.
"[...] in lab mice", which is always an incredibly important bit to add to titles.
It is an ANSI standard, implemented by many databases.

SQLite's trigger syntax appears to be conformant.

Transact SQL has much fewer implementations, and standards conformance enables interoperability. The SQL Server family is lacking in this respect.
The sorts of decisions and results that make a company the size of Meta succeed or fail happen above the levels of the folks who will get cut. Most of the net value produced by individual engineers is determined by which projects they're on, rather than whether they're good at their job. A savy entrepreneur with a few engineers worth of openai credits can create more value in a week than a median FAANG middle management career maxxer with 10-100 engineers in their subtree of the org creates in a month.
You might want to get your paranoia checked out. I'm not even going to bother asking for the many sources that support your overwhelming reason.
What's wrong with it? I looked fine to me and very readable.
I mean, he's still a nutcase. He can be right about some things for the wrong reasons.

If you hit upon a scientifically accurate conclusion through an unrigorous process, basically by pure chance, this doesn't make you a good scientist.
You’re not the only one.
The Canadian cereal was the same colour as in the US until a few years ago. I'm not sure what prompted the change.
I hate to break this news to you but there are countries outside of the EU.

The FDA also bans more food dyes than the EU.
I think we remember Vine through rose colored glasses. There was nothing on vine that was addicting, other than some very famous videos, that are still treated as relics. And everyone knew about those videos, because of how the feed was organized. TikTok is way more tailored-to-the-user.
You think US Meta would relinquish tech to EU Meta?
You think they're better then TikTok?

Yeah, we're not buying that story anymore.
One thing does not need to exclude the other, and context is also important.

If the context is Pizza Hut, I'd say the good old days are the beginning of the 80's if you are old enough to remember it. Pizza Hut today have no soul IMHO.

Is the 50's the context, good old days would be the music (The Jarmels). But considering the VietNam war at the same time, it would be terrible times.
Whoa, hold on. RFK may be right about this one thing in the same way a broken clock happens to occasionally be right, but let's not rush to take away his nutcase title. He has some truly messed up opinions about a variety of topics.
HN is too slow for that, if you spend the time kids spend on tiktok every day here you'll get bored to death.
My pet peeve: buffer time. Or, rather, lack of it. Almost every calendar event requires some extra buffer time before and after, for things like getting to event location and back, and/or preparing, etc. No calendar app I've ever used even supports the concept, much less does anything to help. Right now, I resort to having a separate calendar for "buffer time" events, which I currently fill manually; I'm working on automating this, as almost all events also have fixed buffer time, that's known to me, but again there's no way to record that fact in existing calendar software.
I switched to a Cyboard Imprint, and had them print me a 6x6 Kinesis-style layout. They had me take hand photos and tweaked the print to my hand.

My reasons to switch were:

- better thumb cluster (more buttons reachable)

- split keyboard (better ergo placement)

- slightly optimized key placement (nice to have)

- QMK firmware (good for a laugh, fun to hack, can program hyper/super keys into firmware)
Do libertarians support this kind of move?
Typed view model bindings to templates was always amazing and 100000x more ergonomic than WPF (in my experience). That being said with so many things going to client apps, I'm less inclined to go w/ server side rendering and treat my backend as a data API so I'm not stuck building that twice.
Hum... Brazil already demanded explanations about the new Meta moderation rules. I remember reading the same about the UK, but I'm not sure.
As were many past ones
Algorithmic feeds are wonderful, but unfortunately their goals as implemented today do not align with anyone's best interest except shareholders.

I don't have tiktok, but I used to watch a lot of YouTube suggestions. I finally took the app off my devices and used a suggestion-blocking browser extension. I could only find stuff that I actively searched for. After a few months, I took a peek at suggestions and it was actually great: pretty much only videos I was legitimately interested in, steering me towards useful tiny channels, etc. I still keep it blocked, but check it once daily just in case.

The problem is that algorithmic feeds want you to just keep watching and will absolutely probe all of your "weaknesses" to keep doing so. Instead of trying to support you, it says "how can we break this guy/girl down so s/he keeps watching...".

Until the feeds say "I'm sorry Dave, I can't serve you another video. You should go outside and enjoy the day", then it should be treated more as a weapon aimed at one's brain by a billion or trillion-dollar corporation than a tool.
People affiliated with RFK's orbit are advocating for removing approval for the polio vaccine because it wasn't validated with double-blind studies. There's some obvious reasons why that is problematic.

It's really obvious how poorly this stuff plays out, you look at New York. When you read a news story about polio/measles/whopping cough etc, from New York, it will say "it was detected in New York City (or Brooklyn), Orange, Rockland and Sullivan counties".

That's often indiciative of a specific sect of orthodox Jewish communities whose charismatic leader is against vaccination. It's a tight-knit community that tends to live in densely populated environments. (So more viral spread than similar relgious sects like the Amish) People tend to follow the guidance and don't vaccinate. Fortunately, while polio virus has been detected in samples, as far as I know there are not any cases. Measles and whopping cough cases are fairly common.

This isn't a "left" and "right" issue. It's an authoritarian issue where seeding mistrust of institutions is important. Polio hasn't been eradicated to the point that eliminating vaccination is smart. Smallpox was -- and we don't vaccinate the general public anymore. (We do vaccinate soliders as the Soviets/Russians/USA weaponized it)
Show HN: I built a fair alternative to Product Hunt for indie makers
I’m an indie maker, just like many of you. A few months back, I launched a product on one of the big platforms, and... nothing. It got buried under dozens of other launches within hours. All that work, all that excitement is gone in the blink of an eye. No one even saw it.

It stung. I wasn’t mad, well, maybe a little but mostly, I just felt invisible. The truth is, indie makers like me don’t have big teams or budgets to fight for visibility. We rely on genuine support and connections. I couldn’t stop thinking about how many great ideas never get the attention they deserve because they’re overshadowed.

So, I decided to build something different: https://itslaunched.com

Here’s the idea:

• 10 launches per day, max. Limiting the number of daily launches ensures that every product gets its moment in the spotlight.

• 2 votes per user, per day. This isn’t a popularity contest. You only get two votes, so people have to really think about which products they want to support. It’s quality over quantity.

• “Under Radar” feature. This one’s my favorite. If a product doesn’t get much love on its launch day, it gets a second chance to shine the next day. Because timing shouldn’t be the only thing standing between you and success.

There’s more like badges, comments, streaks but the heart of it is simple: a fair shot for indie makers.

I built this because I believe every product deserves to be seen, especially the ones built by solo makers and small teams putting their heart into something they truly care about. And I didn’t build this to compete with Product Hunt. I built it to give indie makers the platform they deserve, one where their creativity truly gets noticed.

If this sounds like something you’d want to check out, I’d love your thoughts. I’m still tweaking and improving it every day based on feedback.

Let me know what you think and if you’ve got a product you’re proud of, I’d love to see it shine.
Kids with major behavioral issues should be getting a bootcamp-style education, where their tendencies can be held in check by adequate physical supervision. This is not about denying anyone an education - if anything, it's doing the exact opposite and addressing their unique educational needs in the most effective way.
It depends, there are definitely things like carpentry and other manufacturing that prisoners do that I wouldn't call 'unskilled' by any stretch. One big reason to pay prisoners appropriately is that otherwise they affect the labor rate for trades that overlap with how prison labor is currently utilized.

Well, time to extend the definition of what is real and what is not.

Where's all the schizos at? It's time ... your evolutionary purpose has been revealed.
All sorts of inputs and outputs were disconnected from each other around that time. Executive compensation is just yet another thing to put on the list.
I agree with you until you bring foodbabe into this. She’s notorious for hand-picking things that meet the MAHA agenda. For example, the oats argument, yes there is a ton of crap in the ultra processed Quaker oats, but that’s an old recipe. Here’s what they sell at target:

https://www.target.com/p/quaker-fruit-38-cream-instant-oatme...

STRAWBERRIES & CREAM INGREDIENTS: Whole grain oats, sugar, dried strawberries, salt, dried cream, natural flavor, nonfat dry milk, sea salt, dried vegetable juice concentrate (color), tocopherols (to preserve freshness).

There’s not always a one-to-one comparison, and I agree shady companies in the US have free rein over what crap they add to our foods, but this has already been debunked.
Mathematicians generally work with sets, not types. The first thing you do after defining the reals is agree that the naturals, integers, and rationals are subsets. From a type theory perspective, they are all type ℝ, and, roughly, the naturals satisfy the proposition "n:ℝ is a natural number".

It raises the cost of the service therefore the need of user data monetization, I feel like this would backfire. I’d limit the revenue via bans on ads and data monetization.
No, but there's a good reason they did this. The US would have run out of gold if they kept the gold standard. Due to the trade deficit, all the exporters would eventually drain the gold supply since gold is seen as better and the thing to be hoarded.
In my experience, most are terrified to make the change but do it anyways. A non trivial number of the general populace will loathe you on sight the second that change is made publicly. That'd scare me, too
Given the scale and variety of transformations in the 20th century - technological revolution, mass urbanization, the integration of billions of new workers into global markets, nuclear weapons, mass media, environmental change, and unprecedented population growth – it would be very surprising if all the graphs just maintained linear trends the whole time. Many of these graphs appear to show continuations - though perhaps at inflection points of exponential growth – of trends already taking place.
Because the people en masse have not successfully come together to demand this.

What makes companies more powerful than the people is not that companies actually have more power. They don't. It's that they concentrate the power they do have into the hands of a small group of decision-makers, which allows it to be deployed effectively. By comparison, the people are divided, disjointed, disorganized, and distracted, and as such typically fail to come together to demand specific changes they agree on.
Thanks. Any intrusion of privacy, threats, bribes, etc. like they show in some movies? Does the experience test your preconceptions, morals, ethics, etc?
If it works on 75% of the population, that’s good enough. The other 25% will give up and move on as well, because people flock to social media where the others are.
It's the old "better safe than sorry" routine. Very popular with politicians and managers, who are incentivized to take action on extremely minor issues and hold them up as heroic accomplishments while avoiding all the work and mess involved with fixing _actual_ systemic and cultural problems.
Ukraine needs boots on the ground. Finland and Poland from the West driving on Moscow for a regime change with the rest of NATO behind them.

But apparently Ukraine are developing nuclear weapons so we'll see.
I think I care about more than cancer. What if I cared about genetic defects, ADHD, mental health, water contamination, obesity…

Maybe if the dye served ANY purpose besides getting people to eat more of it, I could find a bit of care to not remove it from foods.
It was special in some respects, namely it marked the end of the gold standard in the US, which likely had an impact on many of the charts on the website. Undoubtedly other things happened during the 70s which also impacted on those charts but the quote at the end demonstrates that the gold standard is clearly what the website is trying to bring attention to.

But I think you are also likely correct that one could create a similar website about, if not any year, certainly many different years.

I think this website is being rather disingenuous in the way it presents things. Not only in the way they cherry picked a bunch of charts which show drastic changes after 1971 (and which may or may not be related), but also in the way they leave it to the reader to "do their own research" while framing the question so as to ensure that 5 minutes of googling will yield the answer they want to plant in the reader's mind.
Cancer is a very wide category, I assume that it may induce a sub-group of all cancers. I believe the article mentions Thyroid cancer specifically.
Great observation. Yes I did research that by state, it's another story that not many follow that rule and we're not advocating that. For the first phase, we do not have no. of seats feature. So many times my usual ride cancels because they've a class after school and I'm driving by myself.

My school road is blocked each day for miles with so many kids driving solo literally from the same origin point.
odd that you're not an Applehead but still think they're somehow "improving" the industry.

perhaps you mean "they provide competition among peers like Samsung and Sony, without which the industry would go slower, perhaps with worse products"?

ah, just noticed that you qualified "bought a new Apple..."
Is there any historical reason why farming is a big industry in a state associated with deserts? Did manufacturing never take root there until after WW2 when air conditioning became more affordable?
That style of book led to one type of solo adventure -- the "numbered paragraph" type that is basically a choose your own adventure book except that combat and other such situations are resolved using the RPG rules. Those still exist, but more recently, the goal is to make things more open ended and flexible, at the cost of having the player make decisions on what things mean -- like the player might roll on some tables that say "orcs" and "merchants" and the player needs to invent their own explanation of what that means -- do they encounter orcs attacking merchants? Or orcs who are merchants?
Important new developments in Germany in the last 10 years? Interesting question, I can think of two right now:

- Stable Diffusion at Heidelberg University

- Biontech/Pfizer covid vaccine in Mainz

- What else?
First, people say things like they can't not use Facebook because it has marketplace, etc. shows there has clearly been an issue of not enforcing any kind of anti-trust laws for the past 20 years since US v Microsoft in the browser wars days.

The FTC over the past four years has taken a turn here and is starting to do that work again, it's slow but it needs to continue.

Second, these companies behave as publishers without any of the responsibilities/liability. This has to stop. If you publish just a chronological feed that's one thing. But when you algorithmically decide what people see when, and now introduce your own AI bots into the mix, you're 100% a publisher and need to be legally responsible for it. That legislation needs to be updated to reflect this.

Third, much of the root issues stem from advertising. These companies are driven to get and keep as much of your attention as possible simply so they can sell that attention to advertisers. If we all paid for it, the design of these services would be different. I'm not sure how to tackle that but it seems a start is privacy legislation to prohibit user tracking and sale or sharing of personal data.
From China’s perspective, the things the US intelligence official could to China’s citizens is worse than what China could do to those same citizens.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable for some citizens to feel the same
Kids are excellent at pattern matching, and "weird" doesn't go across racial lines, weird is the kid who's a little on the spectrum, or not emotionally mature enough their first year to deal with circumstances- and instead shuts down.

It's easy to be pigeon-holed by the class, and it's self-reinforcing.
Amazing product addressing a truly real pain point—such a game-changer. The team is also stellar. Been hoping to see something like this for a while. Excited to see the impact, this will definitely be big!
I think the most ELI5 approach is Alligator Eggs [0] which was built for 8-year-olds to play like a game. You can find a lot of the advanced concepts outside of the core also explained in terms of Alligator Eggs and some software visualizers, but there's also something to be said about hands on learning and about printing it out yourself on some cardstock or cardboard paper, cutting it out, personalizing it with crayons, and playing it with a child or at least your inner child.

What is definitely true that there are many, significant indicators which see similar behavior.

The website mainly lists economic factors, but if you look at obesity rates you see a similar trend in the 70s, where quite suddenly obesity rates start rising.

I think that while there might not be a single common cause, it would be naive to deny that there could be a combination of events, which mark that time period in particular.
There are a lot of schools that get funded quite well and perform very poorly. It matters how you spend that money. The data on this is hard to properly interpret too since higher income parents tend to live in higher income areas which means better funded schools and those parents also tend to be more involved in their childrens academic and social success than lower income so the correlated variables get confusing.

However I do agree that spending funds in ways that help a public school compete with private and/or homeschooling is a worthy goal. That means you need:

1. more teachers per student in the school. (More admin doesn't solve this. You need smaller class sizes). You'll never be able to afford the one-on-one ratio a homeschool family can achieve but you can certainly close the gap.

2. more focus on actually proven approaches to the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. (phonics, essay writing, literature analysis, and "old math") A lot of pseudo science has entered the class room over that last few decades.

3. fostering more parental involvement in their child's education. This is extremely difficult to improve but has the highest impact. One of the reasons homeschooling on average does better is because the parents are self selected for involvement.

4. holding kids to real standards and having consequences for not meeting those standards. Tricky to do politically but essential for kids to learn both social skills and academic skills.
Less cancer, mostly.
