To your first paragraph, yes, across the board, and yes to more scenarios than you even laid out here.

To the second, you misunderstand the issue the US government has here. It is not that the social network is compromised and can be manipulated to any number of uses by an external authority. It is that it is compromised and can be manipulated to any number of uses by an external authority that they are enemies with.

Whether you consider them your enemy, whether they consider you theirs, whether you think that China really is or is not an enemy of the US government, and whether you consider the US government your enemy or not is all irrelevant to the point at hand, as interesting as they may be in other contexts; this is about the beliefs of the US government.

China has similar concerns and has already taken numerous similar steps, and it's equally not any sort of hypocrisy or anything because the principle they operate under is not about the existence of control, but who has the control.

At some point SCOTUS will have to revisit the massive deference they give the other branches on natsec issues.

As someone who had both good and really bad times in schools, works in tech, and is considering it for our kids, some thoughts:

Never once did I want my kid to “not be around mediocre”, it’s the extremes I want to filter.

Part of the reason we’re considering private school is to avoid the bullies/wannabe gangbangers who don’t care if they end up in jail that made my own life miserable.

Similarly, our concern is with the other extreme, anxiety-ridden, high-expectations “has to change the world” is not what we want his social culture to be.

A group of kids that enjoy learning, understand the employee/entrepreneurial trade-off but may still opt for a 9-5 is what we’re after.

A friend of mine half-jokingly suggested “the cheapest private school” to balance this out, and actually seems like a half-decent solution.

Like with general life consequences, we want them to experience as much variance on their own while avoiding extreme swings with long-term negative repercussions (horrific injury, jail, dangerous drugs). This is just one facet among many for us.

That may be your memory, but in the typical day it’s intimidation and emotional abuse. Especially in terms of girls who make up half the population, they rarely get punched in the face but arguably have larger issues to deal with.

I’m not accusing you of misrepresenting the situation, just trying to convey what’s objectively going on can feel very different from what people’s lived experience is. Someone with older siblings can barely register being bullied in some situations that really are traumatic to others.

> Education? You probably mean repeating exercises in rote? You likely mean memorisation? That’s not education.

I hear your overall point, but treating this issue as a dichotomy undermines your point. Critics of homeschooling aren't claiming that schools are perfect, or that schools educate ideally. The claim is that, as poorly as our teachers are equipped to educate students, parents are, on average, worse equipped.

You're insinuating here that you were not educated in school. You're making that claim in a text-based format. How did you learn to read and write? Are you making the claim that your mother taught you how to read and write, and the school had nothing to do with it?

Here's the problem with what you're saying: a lot of homeschooled children don't know how to read and write. Or add, subtract, multiply, and divide. And contrary to your theory of education, memorisation is useful in learning these skills. A kid who has memorized how to do addition and subtraction can make change at a cash register, and a lot of homeschooled adults can't do that.

There are outliers in both schoolchild and homeschooled child experiences. I am one myself: my mom homeschooled me for kindergarten and first grade, and did a great job, but she had the advantage that she was a schoolteacher. And maybe your experience was an outlier in that you really did learn nothing in school. But the averages, at a systemic level, are that homeschooled children are at a large disadvantage compared to children educated in a school.

While I think that you're mostly correct in everything you're saying, I don't think it's the best kind of correct.

> You're applying normative criteria to evaluate something

I'm explicitly not trying to be objective, purely trying to judge the end result, if I like or dislike it, and what I estimate the future products would look like if the trend continues. I want a world where humans want to create, where the creative process itself is rewarding, and where our common culture is filled with most of the best works. I have no arguments further than that is what I want.

> it's essentially a rework of Hamlet

When humans rework something, they impart a piece of themselves into the final product. The end result feels like it has soul. An amalgamation designed to maximize revenue no longer feels like it has soul.

> try comparing them to the average film from the '40s, '50s, or '60s

You're right, some periods were really worse. I don't want to emulate those. But there were miraculous decades in both music and film that I want to use as a benchmark, since we know what's possible at least.
> only take action when there is actual evidence and proof of harm being done

I agree with most of what you are saying. However, I think it's valid to also apply heavy scrutiny on new chemicals being added to the food chain. The default being to not allow it if it's not proven safe.

Red dye 3 probably shouldn't have been added to the food supply chain with that criteria but since it's already been there for decades with no strong link to negative outcomes there's little reason to ban it now.

>My question is how do you update your feed, sitemap and other stuff?

haven't tried this but maybe you could do that all in PHP and run `php feed.php > feed.html` or something regularly . and now I just realized you said you've been doing it with shell scripts and that's pretty much the same thing, maybe you could use a cron job or something.

I know a lot of people don't like PHP but I believe it's still the best/simplest way to just "make my HTML run code please". and it's improved a lot in recent years as well. of course if you want to use another language you can.

>Another question: how do you handle comments to your posts?

you could use something like Disqus or one of the alternatives. there are self hosted ones if you really don't trust third parties but then you might as well run the web server on there (and run PHP normally).

It's just how cereal is made. Before fruit loops are loops, they are grain mash. That grain mash is mostly uniform in color and brown-ish. In order to have a bowl filled with loops where some of the loops are yellow and others are green and others are blue, they add different colors of dye. It's the same whether it's neon green or organic green - the dye is added at the end for appeal to the consumer.

Why are you trying to argue about their preference? They didn't cast any judgement on others with different preferences.

This is nothing like “no time for exercise”.

This is cool. It would be pretty easy to add the domains from this list to Kagi's blocked domain list and have it integrated in the search without a plugin.

Anecdote: a friend of mine, a mechanical engineer with master’s degree in automobile engineering from one of the good German Universities ended up working for the biggest German Automakers. Him being the only non German, non White person in his department, had his entire experience be “This in not <insert your country>, this is Germany. We do things a certain way.” He moved to the US after 2 years and worked for Tesla and now Rivian. Not only did he make a bunch of money, but he now gets to work on the new technology. Meanwhile the old company is trying to keep up and stay current with the times.

I actually found cubicles are most useless, they look cramped but you also loose privacy. If I can not get a close office room I would prefer an open space.

The problem of the “modern” office space is that they tends to be a demonstration of how a company wants to show to the outsiders instead of actually fulfilling tasks. For examples, a large amount lobby and common areas looks nice, but are not useful at all for completing tasks, i.e writing code or meeting. This is particularly bad when people are required to rto now. Keep in mind, no matter how nice your common area looks like, most of them WON’T want to come if they had a choice.

Have you been to a farmer's market in the US? Potatoes are potatoes. In fact, potatoes are native to this continent and we have more potato cultivars to choose from. You can get very high quality meat there.

Show HN: Discovering Value in Hetzner Auctions: A Tool I Built
Hi HN,

I’ve built a tool called Hetzner Value Auctions to help users navigate Hetzner's server auctions and find the best deals based on price-to-performance ratios.

We're considering limiting access to this tool to our Discord community only, so join until the invite expires :) https://discord.gg/fG4ZSvRhYu

Features:
- Advanced filtering and sorting (CPU, RAM, storage, cost)
- Real CPU benchmarks (PassMark scores)
- Automated value scoring for best deals
- Simple and intuitive interface for desktop and mobile.

Why I Built This:
I created this tool to identify cost-effective servers without manual comparisons quickly. Initially, I wanted to use it on my own, but I think it became too good to be hidden from the public. It has resonated with others, receiving 30k views within 24 hours of launch and 200k Reddit views within 14 days.

Tech Stack:
- SvelteKit
- Cloudflare Pages for deployment
- PassMark benchmarks for performance evaluation

What’s Next?
I’m actively improving the tool based on user feedback. Planned features include a comparison with standard Hetzner servers (non-auction).

I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions! Let me know what features you’d like to see or how this can be more helpful for your use case.

My favorite theory for the leading cause of the inflection in the early 1970's is energy prices.

For the 100 years prior, the price of energy dropped very dramatically every year, Moore's law like. Then we had the oil crisis of 1973 and the price of energy has been roughly flat since.

Energy is a huge component of the price of everything, directly and indirectly.

Here's the American version of "heaps of fruit," "fruit fusion."

https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/quaker-oats-instant-oatmea...

Ingredients

Whole grain oats,sugar,dried raspberries,dried strawberries,natural flavor,tricalcium phosphate,salt,beet juice concentrate (color),iron,vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol).

The American version is identical to the UK version until "natural flavor." The US version then adds some vitamins plus tricalcium phosphate, salt, and beet juice concentrate. The only "scary" ingredient is tricalcium phosphate, which appears to be an anti-caking agent.

Edit: on Quaker's website

https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/instant-oatm...

It says "Tricalcium Phosphate is a source of phosphorus that also provides the essential mineral calcium." Which is actually what I suspected, it's another added vitamin that has the benefit of also being an anti caking agent.

There's also a variety of kids' ages at these events, so the younger can learn from the older (and parents can easily intervene if this isn't going well).

> My kids won't eat the healthy cereal so for me the number one reason is taste.

This is one of those things where "taste" is basically sweetness. I used to love cereal. Ate bowls of it all the time. I've been on a basic oatmeal with blueberries kick for the last couple years, though, and whenever I try cereals I used to like again I'm disgusted by how sweet they are. You really can only taste sweetness. Kids love that sweetness, though, and brands are extremely focused on marketing candy to children as "healthy" breakfast staples. Lots of kids think stuff tastes bad because it doesn't taste like candy.

The price of "organic" cereals is an issue though.

There are private schools which have more and less competitive environments, it just depends. I'm not convinced that filtering by tuition cost will necessarily get you what you want, you'd want to research the individual school and talk to families and so on.
Sorry, but the numbers for that simply don't work out.

Pick any public company and divide CEO pay by headcount and it'll come out to a dollar figure way, way, way too small to account for the reduced share that workers are getting. There's something (likely multiple things) else sucking up all the money that was formerly shared with workers.
Facing and mitigating common challenges when working with real-world data
Rossella Arcucci, leading the Data Learning Group at Imperial College London, in her post about this paper on LinkedIn, January 2025:
“The first paper published in 2025 by the Data Learming group is a service to the growing community of data scientists who face (and mitigate) challenges when working with real-world data.
For the data to be considered high quality, it must be: an Accurate reflection of the real world scenario, comprehensively Complete information, from a Reliable source, containing Relevant information and temporally relevant in it’s Timeliness.
This usually happens only in our dreams!!!
In reality… it is vital that methods which mitigate these shortfalls are further developed and implemented to alleviate the effects of data deficiencies.
This paper aims to serve as a guide for data scientists looking to identify, understand and mitigate the problems they may encounter as a result of using real world data.“
