Worked at Nokia when iPhone was released. No strategy/management insight, but I recall the jokes made by my colleagues as I showed off my iPhone 1:

"Cool, but can it make phone calls"

On internal message boards, some employees advocated staying loyal to Nokia products, and others advocated buying the best product (iPhone) to challenge Nokia.

Wish they had navigated this one better...
If I remember correctly, the Office 365 Copilot thing is more of an upsell rather than an upcharge. Basically, if you didn't want to pay more, you would initiate the cancellation process, and during that you could "downgrade" to the plan that you already had (without copilot as part of it).

Personally, I find that to be especially scummy because it essentially sounds like they are betting on people either not understanding that nuance, or not bothering to deal with it (and subsequently, not using AI, making that venture seem vaguely more profitable)
Seconded. There are some games that still won't work, but for the most part they do.
The host must be 404-ing high-traffic files?
As a customer, I absolutely abhor that the I need to book a call with sales to buy any enterprise product.
Please, for the friggin love of <insert your deity or whatever rocks your boat here> let's do it over email!
The hard problem here is getting people to contribute with content. They have no incentive to share their pain points. Often they don't even know about what it is or how to describe it. You kinda have to do the leg work and diligence of talking to them and trying to pull that information from them, rather than them pushing to you. But I agree this is immensely important.

Nepenthes also allows scraping and crawling, for as long as you like.
Yes and a blank 80 gsm A4 sheet weighs exactly 5g, if you need a weight reference!
> The economy is built on grifting, at this point

I agreed until here. Obviously, lying isn't the only way to make money. I make furniture and fix windows in old houses for a living. Am I grifting?

When you stretch into hyperbole, you lose the ability to convince people in the middle.
And all the clowns clapped for we were finally safe again, thanks Europe!
If AI doesn’t replace human thinking, we will have to find something else that does, or just go without.
About the time you start needing reading glasses to see your phone or computer screen. Between 40-50 years for most people. You will develop an appreciation for the people who complain about small fonts and low-contrast color schemes. And yes, adapting to darkness takes longer.
Flying multi-engine aircraft with an engine shut down is a routine training and test maneuver, so these aircraft have all been flown a lot of hours with an engine out. The tricky thing about ETOPS is ensuring very high engine reliability (so that the probability of coincidentally having two engines fail on a flight is low) and avoiding failure modes that would affect both engines at once (one of the reasons for a lot of redundancy in electrical systems).

And while technically different rules, ETOPS in practice gets attached to other requirements for transoceanic flights, so ETOPS aircraft often have additional life rafts and other equipment.
Disappointed that it doesn't look to fix the biggest issue I have with the Switch, which is that docking it feels awkward and clumsy. You have to blindly line up a USB-C port/connector, and that seems to be the same approach they're going with here. At least the Joycons look like they'll be a little smoother to attach/remove.
The innovation was a handheld console that works on both the TV and the tablet, the GBA is a much different thing.
The government officials argue that there hasn't been any budget cut or mismanagement, they made an entire website about it: www.californiafirefacts.com

Though, charitably, I suppose the city-level mismanagement that you're talking about do not directly contradict gavin's claims about state/federal level cuts. Maybe.
Zigbee – Ambient Sensing
HTML was intended at first to be hand crafted by scientists. That it should be forgiving is a good thing, because who wants a "this page has imperfect html" message.
"The algorithm" doesn't matter as much as you think it does. If all the videos have metadata, it's quite simple to suggest another video to someone if they just watched a similar video. I watch how my wife uses TikTok, and "the algorithm" is hit or miss. Most of the time it's a hit, but that's because the metadata from the preceding videos (and how long she watched them, or didn't) makes it easy to figure out what she'll most likely want to watch next. Without metadata, there is no "algorithm", and with metadata, it's trivially easy for anyone to produce "an algorithm" that does the same thing, maybe even better than TikTok does it now. I mean, if you do a search about how to put on makeup, then the next 10 videos you see are going to be about how to put on makeup - that isn't exactly an irreplaceable algorithm.
When you have some sort of divine right to rule, the most money, a palace filled with servants and responsibilities that can be neglected with no immediate consequences, well you have a lot of free time.

That said, while it's possible this King was really into swordsmithing, more likely he's just taking credit for the work or something gets lost in the translation. Like if Elon said he "built the Falcon 9". It's not explicitly true, he certainly wasn't machining parts or writing code for it, but he was involved enough that no one would really call it a lie either.
We all know about piracy buddy, but between having to deal with a Switch emulator and the major pain points of extracting keys to get Tears of the Kingdom to run and putting in a credit card, I'll take the credit card route.
> The fact is hardly anyone wants Linux.

Linux market share keeps increasing over time with a pretty solid growth rate, to the point that Linux + ChromeOS now has the market share that macOS did in 2010 (with non-ChromeOS being the larger portion). For something with minimal promotion or availability in retail stores, what explains that except for increasing numbers of people going out and specifically requesting it?

> Also a Windows license is actually more or less free to OEMs since they can bundle crapware with it and get paid by third parties.

That's not "free". They could be bundling the crapware with Linux and then keeping the money instead of forking it over to Microsoft.
Brand new site with no user gets 1k request a month by bots, the CO2 cost must be atrocious.
Malibu and the Palisades were exclusive neighborhoods where celebrities and other well-off industry personnel lived. They're not adding low income apartments or execute any urbanist pipe-dream for the same reason they're not bulldozing Pac Heights to install homeless shelters. Not going to happen. Ever.
Per the article, they did.
America Just Kinda, Sorta Banned Cigarettes
What looks like weak internal demand (surging exports, stagnant imports) is in fact Chinese industrial policies working incredibly well.

When a Chinese consumer buys a (purely) Chinese-made car or phone instead of a (partly) foreign-made one, it shows up like that in the statistics even though it has nothing to do with weak demand.

China has the explicit policy of subsidizing and otherwise supporting output in high-value-add industries (what they call "new productive forces“), creating a flurry of new companies with competitive offerings in all sorts of sectors — from electric cars to semiconductors and medical equipment.
No, the examples in the article are bad.

The bike ramp is designed correctly. It should not be possible for a cyclist to maintain 20mph speed while mounting up onto the sidewalk. That's dangerous. The ramp (correctly) forces them to slow down.

DMVs are not slow because the staff don't care. They're slow because they're understaffed, because it's cheaper that way. No politician is willing to raise taxes just to make the DMV a bit faster.

The McDonalds kiosk upsells you 3 times because McDonalds makes more money that way. They care a very great deal about that.

Most of these have actual explanations that the author of the article just didn't think about.
Were the Wii and Wii U not sleek and monochrome?

This has more color than either of those.
I'm subscribed to this GitHub issue to follow the situation:

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/12014

It might not be the only issue related to ZFS native encryption but, at the very least, as long as this one isn't closed I'm assuming it's still not safe.
Everyone wants to rebuild in accordance with their favorite urban planning theory.

Very few want to give developers the profits they need to match the profits they get rebuilding in accordance with maximizing the return on their investments.

People asking for cheap apartments are just not being realistic. Why rent that square footage at less than luxury prices when the market will readily eat up the square footage at prices far exceeding the national luxury median?

And that’s before we even get to the people who want condos or luxury homes.

You would basically need to make a law that caps how much an owner can make on his land for some of these ideas to work.
The article says "He and Wasson say that based on their PowerPoint presentation, the company approved a six-store pilot program for 2018. Pilot data showed the screens resulting in more than a 5% incremental sales jump, and Walgreens committed to installing them in an additional 50 stores the next year as part of a decade-long deal. In late 2020, after Walgreens agreed to add another 2,450"

If they didn’t have these displays, HN folks would easy criticize Walgreens for not innovating.

Microsoft patches Windows to eliminate Secure Boot bypass threat
I had two Lumia flagship phones - Lumia 800 with Windows Phone 7 and Lumia 930 with Windows Phone 8 (which I later upgraded to 10).

Both look and feel awesome, not cheap at all. At the time, Microsoft were paying developers to port apps to Windows Phone. There were developers who took the effort to make their app look native, and I'd say Windows Phone 7 had the best UX to this day.
The two categories of enterprises I’ve seen most react differently. There are staid, predictable and well understood businesses that highly value discounts, some to the point of absurdity. There are also enterprises with a more dynamic nature that are going in new directions and highly value flexibility. Most fall in one of those camps, and sometimes both.
A lot of that was necessary for Nintendo get away from the "it's a video game console" comparison after the video game market crash. That's why the NES looks like a VCR too.
MK8 was also an iteration on MK7, with refinements to the handling, the addition of anti-gravity, and tweaks to items. It's certain there's going to be _some_ sort of mechanical shakeup.

Mario Kart sells like hotcakes; I doubt they'll have to do much to convince people to buy a new one, particularly folks who've played the old one for hundreds of hours.
Anyone have a working link?
VC is an absolute cancer. All of these grifters claim to love free markets, but the entire ecosystem is just propping up companies operating at a loss until all their competitors fold. At least these useless buzzword B2B companies actually have some gormless entity willing to pay them enough to keep the lights on without another 500 million dollar check from Daddy Andreessen lol
Can’t really speak about the entire state but in Oakland’s case, it is absolutely budget cuts. And closing 2 fire stations in the most fire prone area, where a recent major fire took place, can safely be called mismanagement.
iOS Voice Dream Reader. First app I install on a new iPhone since 2010 I believe. I will even cut and scan physical books just so I can read them in the app. The story of the guy who made it is also interesting!
In one of the animations what's on the screen didn't even match what's on the shelf. What a colossal waste of resources.
After the Santa Rosa fires in 2017, that city’s leaders ignored local worker pressure to increase density in favor of leaving zoning unchanged and letting family people rebuild single-family sprawl. Rents never dropped from their 25%+ increase that year and the region’s economy has been depressed since due to workers having less pay and landlords who spend their rents in other counties. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in cities like LA after they predictably burn each year, now that the “zone it for density or we invalidate your zoning” laws are in place. Forest mismanagement fires are making up for weak-willed politicians unwilling to use eminent domain for anything but highways and that is a force of change that some city will eventually take advantage of. I hope, anyways.
Thanks!

Still a weird naming scheme though. A rocket is not a new astronaut. Am I missing something clever?
They try to do the same thing: offer all the products, let all sellers sell, without much organization. The the result looks similar makes sense.
When you keep rewarding bad decisions by voting for the same people such that they have a monopoly on elected offices, there really isn't a duty or motivation to perform well at their job. This isn't unique to California but it's one of the worst examples.
The call offered here is optional isn't it? You can engage entirely over email for enterprise deals.
I think its more like how if someone searches the name of your business on google and you have to pay for advertising on your own name to prevent a competitor from being placed above your search results.

If someone searches for "al's roof repair" the top results will be sponsored links to other roofing companies who paid for ads before "al's roof repair".
Kids are shown weapons everywhere. They are afraid to watch news and therefore only consume "news" from socical media, which we made an AI shithole and threat to a civilized society. They see how we have in large parts poisoned or destroyed large parts of their planet. They have to get drilled to learn how to get not shot in school shootings or elsewhere.

And yet people think that the urgent problem to care for our kids is them finding out about people making love on the Internet?

Wow. Humanity really needs to see a Psychiatrist.
Being pedantic here, but Cincinnatus was never Emperor. He was, though, twice given "Dictator" powers by the Roman Senate during the Republican era.
Having spent ~15 years in enterprise software I doubt that this works at higher price points but holy hell is this guy living the dream
"Expecting children to be responsible for their own actions "

And expecting other children to suffer for their actions is wildly unfair.
This is so fucking sad. As a russian american who lived through russian transition from relatively free country to an authoritarian one I'm getting dejavu vibes here(Putin started with taking over of all independent news sources like newspapers/tv and radio channels etc). This is not up to the government or some other people to decide what I read, what I watch where I get my information/news from. America has a beautiful concept of free speech, stick to it. I personally think that TikTok is a brain rot, but I still don't want any government involvement into this. Don't like it? - Don't use it.
I love the Switch and will love the Switch 2. But this video feels so cheap. Didn’t enjoy the launch video at all.
It's not that hyperbolic. I'd say the economy isn't built on you making furniture and fixing windows in old houses for a living.

Do folks like you exist? Yes. Is the economy built on folks like you? No.
What percentage of the GDP is furniture making and window fixing? Yours is a noble profession, and like most noble professions is barely a blip in the grand Machiavellian scheme of capitalism
...and then they made some Android foldables that went nowhere. The end?

I expect to see a new Windows Phone in around 2030.
I was wondering about that. How much did this send energy usage soaring not just to power the displays, but to make the fridges and freezers have to work that much harder?
News Explorer on iOS/iPadOS/MacOS is great if you want a one-time purchase app that syncs your RSS feeds across your devices.
I assume keys generated via Keygen.sh live in a centralized database against which the client verifies the keys upon startup. Keygen crackers only work against algorithmically verified licence keys.
At the time Steve Jobs was putting his foot down against allowing Flash on the iPhone because the performance was so pants, Microsoft was going all in on Silverlight which had exactly the same problem.
Thanks. It looks like it meant to be short-term but nonetheless.
> just try for yourself.

More probably the conclusions from the project manager are positive exaggerations because it would directly benefit from the continuation of the project but let's consider the possibility that RV works! This would be a fantastic evidence of psychic/paranormal phenomena that would make anyone reconsider other paranormal/spiritual claims that we're previously dismissed. Which creates a dilemma because if I'm non-receptive to paranormal phenomena it will not work and there's no point in trying and if I'm receptive then it's unwise because divination is sinful according to the majority of religions.

I imagine there's a "reality" be it real or fictitious where RV and other forms of divination works but ain't widespread enough to be scientifically acknowledged because those really capable of it knows it leads to eternal damnation so they don't practice it or share it publicly. In this same "reality" it's possible that the CIA as other intelligence agencies successfully used divination to acquire intel but discontinued it as they did with Blackbird because nowadays the have much better ways like software backdoors, spy satellites and even OSINT. And to note at best RV produces subjective intel which is non-optimal.
There absolutely is a difference between one 15-minute call to see faces vs a pipeline of ten 30- to 60-minute calls discussing requirements, compliance, pricing, billing, onboarding, implementation, and support over the course of 6 months.

I think that while this sentiment is very real for a lot of folks who are into the Steam Deck, that doesn't mean the Switch doesn't have its own unique advantages.

- The Nintendo software catalog. Sure, you can emulate on the Steam Deck, but it's a chore and far from perfect, and for most people who do it that is piracy.

- The Switch is far less bulky, and has better battery life, less noise. ARM architecture is very well-suited to mobile gaming.

- The docking mechanism is seamless and the dock is included with the device. Games are designed around that functionality specifically, e.g., you won't have controller or display configuration issues on a Switch because it's all pre-configured.

- The price is almost certainly lower.

- You can buy physical game cartridges and resell them, which is a big advantage for fans of physical media.

- The Steam Deck does rely on a lot on its compatibility software with PC games, and while it's mostly a non-issue there it's not by any means a perfect catalog. If you get a Switch, all Switch software is going to work and was made for and tested on a Switch.
Feedly is decent, too.
Thanks for the response.

I figure that the discord at the root of the issue you're describing can lead to more uncommon complaints against them, bringing this to mind: https://blog.cloudflare.com/kiwifarms-blocked/
Half silvered would work too. I was using the 3CCD prism as an example of splitting an image into multiple parts and avoiding issues with parallax. If you stacked cameras on top of each other with their own lenses, you'd inevitably get slightly different focal lengths, focal distances, and camera positions.

Aside with the dichotic filter... there was a neat trick that was lost (and refound) with a sodium 589nm dichromic (notch) prism. https://youtu.be/UQuIVsNzqDk
They did outlaw it. The GDPR's definition of "consent" makes these popups illegal.
1. Good kids who were always and will always be good kids.

2. Bad kids who were always and will always be bad kids.

Further, any interaction between a bad kid and a good kid is strictly making things worse for the good kid.

My experience in K-12 proves that this is in fact largely TRUE.

" Being around "bad" kids is often good for "good" kids. "

This is just a mind-numbingly stupid take. A 10th grader taking advanced calc and programming robots doesn't benefit from being forced to interact with an illiterate 19 year old who has been held back 3 times and steals his lunch money every day. This is in fact almost a human rights violation for the smart kid.
Nintendo does not compete on specs. They rely on the fact that fun is pretty much orthogonal to bleeding edge graphics.

They use that awareness and take advantage of simpler graphics to trade off processing power for features (portability, novelty) and profit (60>=usd games).

From time to time they also remind us that little hardware can do a lot if it's not running Chrome on a trench coat, and instead care is put in optimising things.
> rotate through all available Azure IPs, ... They should come from the same IP address.

I would guess that this is intentional, intended to prevent IP level blocks from being effective. That way blocking them means blocking all of Azure. Too much collateral damage to be worth it.
>The most equal US state (Utah) is still more unequal than the EU country which has the highest income inequality ( Bulgaria).

This is one of the most shocking things I've read in relation to this. I knew it was bad, I didn't know it was THIS bad. Do you have any sources for this? I need to spread this fact if it can be easily verified.
[I am the author of the blog] It's been fun working on this demo. FGA is a very cool concept, but building an efficient FGA engine is hard: you basically need to solve a graph reachability problem for each auth request.

So I tried a different approach: precompute all authorization decisions ahead of time and incrementally update the computation in real-time. As the post explains, there's not free lunch; there's a space/time tradeoff involved, but overall I think it's very promising.
> The real money is coming from cloud services in its many forms

I don't see who will pay for Azure without using Windows and Office.
(Nokia's also worked but was slow. Everyone else's implementations tended to be both broken and slow. A particular shoutout to Samsung - they must have had 6+ separate, broken implementations.)
I admire the thinking; thanks.

Agreed.
Because in reality PBM and insurance company owned by the same corporation, in this case: UnitedHealthcare, UnitedHealthcare Insurance, Optum. This makes it possible for PBM & instance work out any price they want, loophole cap on profit for insurances required by law (15%), and bring cost of healthcare up. Pure fraud it is.

How do you get Bing to work? I go there, type in a query, hit return and then nothing. The eyeglass icon seems like it could be a search button, but nothing happens when it's clicked. I should mention I'm trying it on Firefox 128.6.0esr.
Vaguely like MS Active Directory vs Kerberos. The really big thing 'vmotion' provides is 'things just work' vs flexibility of options but more effort required.
