For new buyers, yes, but there's plenty of people who already have a house but now they have no insurance for it. And sure, the terms of their mortgage say that they have to have it, but what can the lender do if nobody will insure that particular property no matter who the current owner is?
Is this sarcasm? I hope it's sarcasm.
After several hours trapped in the air pocket, the dive guide, Youssef, wanted to try to swim through the boat, but Lucianna and Christophe persuaded him not to. "Stay with us because they are going to come to get our bodies, so they will find us," Lucianna recalls telling him.

An odd decision, I would have thought he was a good diver, so presumeably also a decent free diver, knew the boat well, could alert rescuers to the trapped people, and would not use up oxygen when gone from the bubble.

I haven't been able to back this up and I'm afraid I'm making trumpesque accusations, but Chinese manufactured fentanyl always seemed to rhyme too well with the flood of American opium back in the day (second only to the English, not for lack of trying)

I would suspect Chinese kingpins wouldn't be operating without the Party's blessing, but everyone seems too shy to point fingers, easier to blame the addict. Still, someone's getting rich off it, now as then.

Long before the Sacklers appeared on the scene, families like the Astors, the Peabodys, and the Delanos cemented their upper-crust status through the global trade in opium.

Yes that stat does make me wonder. Even if 21% of meat is wasted [0]. (Possibly they count "reaches a supermarket shelf" as = "not wasted", even if it isn't ultimately cooked or eaten?). But even then.

([1], the 2023 study by Tulane University supposedly finding "12% Of Americans 1/2 Of The Nation's Beef: How a mere 12% of Americans eat half the nation's beef, creating significant health and environmental impacts" is a red herring, all it says is that on any given day, some fraction of meat-eaters exceed portion sizes ("Those 12%—most likely to be men or people between the ages of 50 and 65—eat what researchers called a disproportionate amount of beef on a given day").

The project itself is cool, but I'm doubtful on the philosophical side.

Mermaid aspires to be the Markdown of diagrams, so being editable and consumable via plaintext is paramount. If I have to use a visual editor, why not fetch for more powerful tools and be liberated from the limiting format?

This is akin to a WYSIWYG Markdown editor (which to be fair has a niche market). I would ask why not just use Google Doc or MS Word at that point?

Professional first responders risk their lives all the time to help others. Rescue situations are nearly always risky by their very nature.
Three Body is a science fiction television series and I think sci-fi often involves complex vocabulary and abstract concepts, making it a tough choice for language learners
I'm not sure if this is a solid argument.

Most of the art, music, literature before the twentieth century were created under censorships of authoritarian regimes, and they don't lack vitality. Creativity often thrives under constraints.

The main difference is the classics were often created by a single person, while modern entertainment are created by large groups through industrial processes. The latter are capital-intensive, and investors are risk-averse. The bigger the market, the bigger the investments, the bigger the risks, and censorship is not insignificant a risk.

I think as the cost of production shrinks with technology, there will be an explosion of "high-production-value" works created by smaller groups or individuals, many from the "soft-authoritarian" countries. Traditional entertainment industries may gradually fade away, or pivot to some new medium.
Simply put, a lot of people in US are genuinely convinced that European-style universal health insurance means that they'll be worse off than they are today. This myth is maintained by agitprop from right-wing sources that tells them about "death panels" and multi-year waiting queues (while conveniently forgetting to mention that all these things also exist in US, with the only difference that you can avoid it if you have enough money).

Why didn't these divers free dive out? Should have been pretty easy?
If you've ever been to that country, or any similar country, you would notice that real professional competence across whole society is scarce, and most tourism industry is just barely faking it in terms of security and professionalism. Or to put it in different words - don't do extreme sports there, safety net is very thin.

Deadly diving accidents are common there too, mostly due to lack of professionalism of instructors, either locals or for some reason russians.
You're chatgpt.
European nations have provided more aid to Ukraine in total in both absolute and relative terms than the US. Hopefully the irony isn't lost on you when we're talking about controlling the narrative here.

It’s clear that those who imposed the ban didn’t think of the consequences. What did they think was going to happen when users could no longer access TikTok? They’d stay home and study? They’d use their free time for sports? They’d join Facebook? Obviously, none of the above.

What’s dumb is to pass legislation without anticipating how people will react to the new rule.
Speaking of advocating RSS, I was trying out Nikola [0] for static site generation and found that they have a really nice-looking RSS end-point [1] that is viewable both from the browser and an RSS reader. Looking into the XML, it turns out it's called xml-stylesheet:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="assets/xml/rss.xsl" media="all"?>

And I would argue that this is an excellent way to introduce new readers to RSS: instead of the browser popping up a download prompt, you can make your RSS feeds themselves a dedicated page for advocating RSS, in case an interested reader is browsing through the links on your site.

Graphite is a 2D graphics editor written in Rust aiming to develop into the go-to alternative to Gimp and Inkscape. Right now it's a vector graphics editor and in 2025 will be growing into a raster editor for photo processing and image manipulation. Its unique feature is the node graph which gives more control over content creation and rendering, turning your artwork layers into fully-fledged programmatic systems that can operate on dynamic data.

Graphite made the top of Show HN in mid October so you may be familiar from that post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41853810

This post now summaries our year growing and maturing the editor throughout 2024 and covers our plans for 2025, which I believe will be the year it really takes off.
A lot of people might not realize this exists because of the way apps for smart tv's and game systems present the content and menus. I'm not sure if that's intentional or just misguided design, but the only reason I knew to see it out on my PS4's YouTube app is because I'd seen it on desktop.

Very cool project! I worked on something similar some time ago and tried to see if I could bring it to market.

Back then (2022) the sentiment is most artists hated AI because they felt it violated their and other artists ownership rights based on how they are trained.

I also found those open-minded wanted much more precision over output than could be delivered with image-gen.

What brought you on to build this and what has your conversations with end users been like?
yeah enhancer for youtube was a lifesaver

another reason i hate internet becoming predominantly app-mediated.
That's fair. Though if I replaced "people" with "HN users" it would still hold true, and I would consider this group to be very computer literate.
I uninstalled the YouTube app too! Without the app, it’s easier to use YouTube more intentionally
yes these platforms are BAD. But still, tiktok is a tailored app for US market and bends to US regulations. You think this is bad? There are worse, some US users even chose to signup Douyin or REDnote. How would you ban THAT? Build a national firewall like the communists?

>what is the point of Biden's statement?

He is still bitter about getting pushed out of the presidential race and that is a good way to stick it up one more time to the Dems, since now they are forced to die on a indefensible hill.

If you view everything Biden did since july as adversarial to his party with plausible deniability - it makes things easier to understand. His immediate endorsement of Harris, the half assed support he gave her, the fact that he donated is campaign personnel to her
> What else do I need to do?

I mean, not sending 418 and sending 429 or 403 or anything more useful would be on my list of things to try. Might double check what 418 is while you're trying to figure out why sending that doesn't seem to do anything.

This thread, which OP posted before I had gotten the chance to submit to HN, was given a very unideal title and gained no traction as a result. I think the deduplication system prevented me from submitting. But I just tried again and I've successfully done so: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42747192 so on account of this thread going unnoticed due to its title, I'm considering this thread abandoned and I'd encourage the mods to do the same (if deduplication or something else is in order). Thanks.
Don't the hyperscalers outsource datacenter construction and operation? Maybe it's not clear where to draw the line because the datacenters are owned or operated by disposable shell companies for various reasons.
Building your own great Firewall definitely is a thread to your free speech. I don't know how this can't be extremely obvious.
Spot on, I keep using it for years, and never understood why the tragedy around Google's RSS reader, there are tons of readers out there.

I don't know well Beijing Enlight Pictures makes for a Chinese Disney, but I will say that Big Fish & Begonia was a good show.
Not what I meant. That's just how to run LXC containers, which I never use because I find OCI much more convenient.

I meant the hypervisor host OS should be image based atomic/immutable.
Also, presumably they did not know if the boat was on the bottom of the sea or not, and at what depth.
I use a Yubikey with ssh keys, and suddenly I have my ssh keys available anywhere, while I also avoid them being stored in any single host.
The bill introduced by the Supreme Court doesn't just block Tiktok that is controlled by Bytedance, but all websites/networks/content which the POTUS deems "adversarial". The law is about controlling the flow of information to its citizens from __any__ party not under the government control.

>Thy will vary by country, by state or even county , setting up a DC in the Bay Area and say one in Ohio or Utah is a very different endeavor with different design considerations.

What point are you trying to make? It does not matter where you are in the world, or what local laws exist or permits are required, racking up servers in a cage is much less difficult than physically building a data center (of which racking up servers is a part).
And how well did kicking them out of the mainstream social platforms to hide them under the rug do? Rumble, Truth Social, Kick, and how many more echo chambers?

You even gave the example of Alex Jones, he was silenced by the mainstream social media sites.

Yes, fake and misleading news is easier to spread than issuing corrections or fact checking, but that doesn't mean that we should pretend they don't exist, because it's NOT working.

EDIT: Mind you, I'm not advocating for what Twitter has essentially become, but hiding away these people is also not working very clearly based on how well things are going.
There is a "Copy channel ID" link on each channel's page, but it's well hidden. Click "...more" in the channel description, then click "Share channel" to open a popup menu that has the "Copy channel ID" link. It does what it says.

Freediving inside an enclosed space is known as “angling for a Darwin Award”.

Doing it in a shipwreck is one of the most dangerous things you can possibly do. You won’t have the normal cues of up and down, won’t have any sort of decent lighting, and all the while your body wants to panic due to CO2.

Then, they’d been breathing compressed air. If they reached the surface they’d get the bends, and depending on depth that could kill them or cause serious damage.

That generally gives you even more trouble with cloudflare. Behaving in any way inconsistent with your UA string is one of the easiest methods of identifying bots.

Yeah you can use headless browsers, but then you're also using orders of magnitude more compute, and that's not really something that scales.

The best way to avoid ending up in captcha-land is to say who you are, and respect robots.txt.
The Hyperfitting Phenomenon
I know it's a worn-out stereotype to point out, but from an European, I just hope you realize how jarring it sounds that there is a medication that a doctor determined you need, and TWO companies - entities driven by and existing exclusively for profit - are involved in deciding and communicating with each other on whether you will get it or not.

I do think that this should still actively be regarded as scary and abnormal, even if it's the norm for so many people in the US.
I know it’s the wrong way to think but things like this make me glad about a digital footprint… good chance I’m liking a TikTok comment or reading an HN thread at the same time as any crime, just statistically.
They were in the engine room. The engine would have both air intake and exhaust systems. There was potentially some portion of one or both systems interacting with other air pockets.

>> 30 student classes obviates any benefit you'd get from anything else. There are no systems with those class sizes that are achieving the outcomes we want.

> I disagree? Universities have larger lectures, and students can move to lower classes if theirs moves too fast. I think your argument goes somewhat like:

You're doing the thing again where you apply your expertise to a domain you're naive to. Google for class size and outcomes.

>> You also can't literally fire all teachers. The NEA or teacher tenure won't let you.

> Not with that attitude!

Contracts are contracts. Attitude has nothing to do with it.

> I think the key is to steal employees ;). If you're offering double the salary, I think the local universities might lose a few professors.

How do you deal with losing... let's just say 2m people from other high-value professions? Unemployment is at historic lows. You also haven't wrestled with finding ~$700b to pay for all of this. There's ~100,000 public schools in the US in ~13,000 school districts. You think you'll get good outcomes letting them all hire individually? Will you put caps on salary so smaller districts don't lose out?

You've honestly not thought through this at all. You're again walking onto an issue you're entirely ignorant of, and if you were in charge of it you'd thoroughly destroy it.

>> You also get stuck in tracks, so if say your mom dies in 3rd grade, you do poorly on the test and get bumped down, you're probably bumped down forever. That's a bad outcome.

> Bad for whom? It's great for the kid who got bumped up.

You're naive to the problems with standardized testing and trying to supplement with anecdata.

> [Weird takes on common core and standardized testing]

There may be a problem with the educational system not serving highly gifted students, but that's way further down the list than kids who graduate without basic reading and math skills. I'm not saying we can't walk and chew gum at the same time, but dealing with gifted students is a whole other kettle of fish (which judging by your anecdata I'm confident you've read nothing about).

>> Today they're throwing stuff in class, tomorrow they're breaking the windows of your car or running drugs in your neighborhood. At that point in the School-to-Prison Pipeline, rehabilitating the person is extremely expensive.

> In my other reply, the TLDR; is essentially, "it's the other way around". It's much more expensive to rehabilitate them in the classroom than in the prison system.

I'm gonna quote something from my response to Paul Graham's wokeness essay: "It's like someone's running an experiment on how many times you can be bafflingly wrong before people notice." I'm noticing.
Still, rationally thinking, which is presuming a lot in the situation, I can't find any real advantage to the two tourists of having the dive guide not try.
the question sets up a false dichotomy, unless that was your intent?

For profit fire, military, or police departments result in some very obvious issues, and they would simply be causing maximum distress.

For profit / Not for profit, are all serving the same goal - human well being. We choose for profit models where they would result in surplus, and non profit where its more applicable.

at least thats the theory. Reality is more messed up.

> With the help of a mathematical model that linked size with age, they estimated that one sixteen-foot female was at least two hundred and seventy-two years old, and possibly as much as five hundred and twelve years old. Because it is difficult to establish background carbon-14 levels in the ocean, and because Nielsen and his colleagues didn’t know which part of the ocean the sharks had been born in, the figure was inexact. Still, it firmly established Greenland sharks as the longest-living vertebrates on Earth. In theory, the biggest ones could be nearly six centuries old.
I use RSS heavily and I don't want an RSS button - what would that even do? RSS is best when integrated with a stateful server-side reader.
