Lots of fantasy settings end up supporting some really bad worldviews if you look too far into them. I highly doubt the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender realized they were creating a society of ethnostates enforced by an all powerful pseudo-immortal autocrat supported by a secret society. They just wanted a reason for the main character to go on an interesting journey to save the world.

It became a problem for me when they tried to make a sequel that took the setting more seriously. Maybe one person chosen by lottery at birth shouldn't be allowed to kill heads of state without any oversight? The villains who were opposed to the chosen one's uncontested rule ended up making more sense than the enforcers of the status-quo.

There's a funny video explaining why the Disney direct-to-tv movie Sky High is actually propaganda for fascist eugenics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIdbLUm-ez8 The "some people are just born superior" out is an easy excuse when you're trying to come up with a reason why the main character and their cohort of whacky friends have the ability to save the world while everyone else is helpless, but taken to the logical extreme is blatantly fascist.
Google search has already become crappy enough. I doubt Apples would do so much worse at this point.
Why are these so easy to lose?

Working at a prestigious VC firm means you can schmooze, network, and lie.
They might, if Google hadn't enshittified their own product over the last few years. At this point, I will at least listen to anyone who says they're willing to take search seriously again.

It was Google's game to lose, and they seem to be trying their hardest to do just that, without any help from competitors or the government.
That's because the web browser is a sandbox. We have sandboxing technology for native apps.
Don’t give them any ideas. All it needs to do is stream music.
HathiTrust scans are often only available in the US. In this case, because it's apparently a reprint from the 40s, it's presumably been assumed to be still in copyright outside the US. This is probably incorrect: it's highly likely there was no additional copyright generated by the facsimile process.
Their services profits maybe (which is where Wallstreet's perceived growth is coming from)
So all Google services would disappear from the App Store because it could be argued that it provides tremendous value for Google to have their services there? The $100 USD /year fee, even if withdrawn, would trigger it, since it's a contract, right?
You can assume they'd rather be constructing new clothes, rather than doing alterations. You can also assume that there is some amount of their previous customer base who aren't interested in restarting the process at 0 with creating custom patterns, etc.

It's quite possible that the lasting effects are more dramatic, as this plays out over time and we move increasingly towards casual dress.
DEI is a way to avoid disparate impact liability. Such laws / precedent is derived from the Civil Rights Act (VII). So it is quite the opposite. It also means that disparate impact liability will return without DEI / race quotas so unless the new administration also gets rid of disparate impact and the civil rights act this whole thing will end up right back where it started.
FDA approves Vertex's non-opioid painkiller, first new pain medicine in decades
It’s a logical fallacy; it doesn’t rebut anything.
Isn't cryptocurrency pretty much the worst way to avoid taxes?

The entire ledger is public. The IRS is going to know that several millions/billions was sent to an address and can just press the exchange to reveal who it is akin to gambling winnings.
The accent isn't actually critical there, since it means the same either way. It's just that it's so common in poetry that even in prose for any particular word it sounds funny to swap the pronunciation out.

Since the usual rule for poetry is to forbid long syllables next to each other and the stress is always on the "bles", we normally pronounce it "blest" before syllables that start with stress and "blessèd" before unstressed syllables. But "blessèd" can occur before unstressed syllables in tunes that include LSSL (the only examples I can find off the top of my head are "blessèd redeemer" and "blessèd are those/they/we" (huh, that's a really weird meter: LXSLSSLSXS/LSXSLSL times 4, except that the last is /LSLSXSLSL), and in both cases there are probably more hymns with "blest" before the words).

LSSL is often because of trochaic substitution (usually at the start of a line) or anapestic substitution (common anywhere, but the leading L means it can't be the start of the line here). Pure anapests (easy, but iambs are just so easy to reach for) or some kind of use of dactyl (not too hard, but even trochee is uncommon in the first place) are also viable. Other theoretical ways to construct LSSL are very rare in English (amphibrach sequences are common in some analyses, but I prefer to treat them as iamb + anapests + lone short, or even lone short + dactyles + trochee, because when speaking we strongly prefer to keep short syllables together).
OpenRC might just be easier to use because it does not include a manager for virtualized machines.
Before EL they were using incandescent bulbs. So they're going forward to LED.
And google seems to have fallen in line with the current regime completely too.

Hi, I'm one of the PhD students leading the work on Hydro!

DFIR is more of a middle-layer DSL that allows us (the high-level language developers) to re-structure your Rust code to make it more amenable to low-level optimizations like vectorization. Because DFIR operators (like map, filter, etc.) take in Rust closures, we can pass those through all the way from the high-level language to the final Rust binaries. So as a user, you never interact with DFIR.
As of late I've been watching a Youtube creator, DiPDoT[0], building a relay computer.

DiPTDoT's project is still in-progress. His computer has an 8-bit data bus and a 16-bit address bus[1], like the Zusie. His registers are a little more generous than the Zusie.

I really enjoy the sound of DiPDoT's test rigs running his cards thru functional testing. The rhythm of a relaying computer running code with loops is probably pretty fun.

Or "settle my personal civil suit against you and if the award is high enough I'll let your proposed merger go through". I know corrupt politicians aren't rare. But trying to hide it at least affirms to people that the rule of law should be a thing.
I never saw anything but a favorable GOP outcome in the Senate in 2024 predictions and no one thought that was possible except the Democrats running in red states sending out fundraising emails, I never saw any analysis saying the 2024 Senate election was favorable to the Democrats in the run up to 2024. Show me anything that was printed prior to the election in 2024 that is not from one of the 2024 Democratic campaigns. That just one of your points where you state that as a clear mandate.

The assassination stuff is just not germane to a discussion about mandate nor your purported fake Russian dossier.

This came out shortly after the election about the House and Senate and Presidential election, the USA is just very divided, almost evenly.

Very very minor party shenanigans. Serious enough that they should be called out and punished, but not serious enough to effect the voting.

"She was given the questions tonthe debate," is the most serious accusation. But anyone with a dozen brain cells knows whats going to be asked during the debates.
The whole "loyalty purge" is very much a hallmark of an authoritarian regime, and Congress is just standing by.

Sure, it's not Russia or China, but it's certainly no model democracy. We're definitely heading down the path of authoritarianism / fascism.

Don't forget that 4 years ago there was an armed attempt to overturn the results of an election, spurred on by the losing president who also pressured officials to overturn the results. And then the same politician was given immunity by the justices who he appointed (if it had been any other court they would have been forced to recuse themselves from the case), leading to him being re-elected and then promptly pardoning those who attempted a coup. That's arguably the most anti-democracy event in the history of the US (or at least the last 100 years).

Then when that politician gets in power he starts an loyalty and ideological purge. That's exactly what authoritarian leaders do (and Xi in China did). So yes, we still have checks and balances and our system is not authoritarian, but Trump certainly is and is trying his hardest to centralize as much power and authority as possible in himself, which is again exactly what authoritarian leaders do. Lets call a spade a spade.
It's not unreasonable for a plan that the government is always trying to chip away at for financial reasons. But a lot of people look at Medicare and think that it's essentially free which it decidedly is not for anyone with a current or recently high salary. (The add-ons cost a bit too but relatively not.)
BTC saved the value over the years for all its holders, including even those who bought during the height of mania and have suffered temporary setback for a few months.

For an asset where no one promised anything but uncertainty, that's the only asset that you can rely on as your insurance against asset seizures, inflation, pumps-and-dumps (compare BTC with any other token with marketing - BTC marches on, while all these tokens get pumped/dumped and then stay forever at zero).
Not sure why you're being downvoted, it's literally crazy. The drug has been proven time and time again that it not only does what they say it'll do, but has a host of other benefits like helping addicts drop their habits. Jealousy runs deep.
Don't forget non-monetary 'enrichment,' too. I'm pretty convinced that the reason Trump switched sides on TikTok, after being one of the first to cast (justifiable imho) suspicion on it, simply because he looked around and saw that popular opinion was against the ban, especially among the influential Gen-Z demographic.

(Obviously a President caring about popular opinion is a feature and not strictly a bug, but I think it's reasonable that a President should also care whether said popular opinion is ill-informed and wrong when it comes to national security.)
What is a cross platform sandboxing technology for native apps?
I don’t understand the bizarre haters that show up in every GLP-1 thread.

America is fat, and the health consequences of that make COVID look like a regular Tuesday.

“If people just X” clearly isn’t working, we need results and we need results fast. The state with the lowest obesity rate in 2025 is higher than the state with the highest obesity rate from 1990.
Slack is slow and bulky. It gives Teams a run for its money which, not surprisingly, is even worse.
Food has been optimized for thousands of years to be as addicting as possible, so yes, that about sums it up. If anything the food has altered human biochemistry long before anything resembling Ozempic came to be and this is a course correction.
Show HN: Test automation that doesn't suck
Hey HN. We’re two devs building Magnitude (magnitude.run), a software testing platform to eliminate brittle and high-maintenance testing. It uses LLM-powered web agents to execute natural language test cases while identifying specific bugs along the way.

There’s plenty of buzz around web agents and new approaches to automated testing, so what makes our product different? Our approach is web-native, provides dynamic yet consistent behavior, and is packaged in an all-in-one solution so that you can forget about maintaining internal tools for testing.

With Magnitude, you’re able to create test cases in natural language that just work based on what you intend, rather than relying on a particular webpage structure. Instead of brittle test failures becoming white noise, you’ll know that when a test fails, it means real users could be impacted.

If you’d like to give this a try, check out our preview. We’d love to hear what you think about it.

Browser based apps are better than ever. As a developer who has delivered applications on CD-ROM and downloadable installers, I do not have a strong desire to return to these times.

Browser-based word-processing and spreadsheets pretty great. I love VS Code. The multimedia capabilities of browsers are pretty good and up to the tasks I need them for.
You may agree with the incoming anti-DEI policies, but don't let that obscure what's happening here.

Previously, federal funding was controlled by congress, and subject to its collective politics, via long-playing out machinations/compromises/horse-trading, etc, and then to the collective politics of the various enforcement bodies.

It now appears that federal funding is generally subject to the personal politics of the current president. That may seem nice for the specific policies you agree with. But... there are likely to be many policies you don't agree with. Especially since there will be a new president after not too long.

Also, since political purity tests have to be subjectively enforced, they are inevitably subverted to corruption. You can pass the test with the right amount of money delivered to the right people in the right way. That's nice for the people receiving the money, but the corruption quickly becomes horrifically inefficient and costly.

The question isn't whether the previous system was perfect -- it wasn't. The question is whether the new system is worse, and how much worse.

I'm pretty surprised how unaware people seem to be about the power/money grab that is happening. People never seem to learn that you have to look at what people do, not what they say.
I just assumed it is associated with weight, of any kind.
They were not showering him with money during his first administration. It's pretty clear this will go away assuming they pay Trump enough.

These code examples aren't fully documented yet (which is why we've not linked them in the documentation), but you can take a look at a (more-real) implementation of Paxos here: https://github.com/hydro-project/hydro/blob/main/hydro_test/.... We're also working on building more complex applications like a key-value store.
Most Intel 13/14 series processors had instability flaws that caused them all to die over time. Basically every processor that was run before the fixes were finally released was likely permanently damaged.

If so, why is Google paying Apple billions? Insurance against the risk that that isn’t true? Seems like an expensive insurance…
For the pharmacy, sure, but if you keep taking the "convenience" part out of convenience store then customers aren't going to keep playing ball.
This is great to see. It'd be lovely if Linux gets a decent debugger. Another project to keep an eye on is https://github.com/EpicGamesExt/raddebugger Although, they haven't expanded much beyond Windows, yet.
Seems easier to just get a camera to actually catch people leaving poisonous treats.
> If you're selling something low end, like a hotdog or pair of shoes, this makes sense. But for higher-end purchases there is a relationship component which can take time to build.

I'd have expected the reverse, in some cases. Almost everyone who enters a shoe store can afford shoes and are seriously considering making a purchase.

Whereas if you run a dealership selling $200,000 supercars, there's probably a steady stream of people who'd like a test drive but who don't have $200,000 in their bank account.
> Can I use something like a debugger API (Java JDI or Python's pdb) to track execution?

This seems like the right way to me. The hard part is really figuring out which things to track. Then as you step through, you just check their current state and update the display accordingly.

Systemd is one of the most complex and difficult to understand parts of your system. Did you know it contains a virtualization manager.

>I find it easier and better on so many levels!

Openrc is by any possible standard easier to use. Among the reasons is that it does not include a way to create virtual machines.
> there was (and still is) no single market for services, so how could have joining the EEC have caused any of these things?

Well, let's address the "there still is no single market...".
You are entitled to your opinion, but it differs to the official stance from the EU.

Here the page about the Single Market for Services:
https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/single-market/ser...

Now let's have a look at the Treaty of Rome (1957):
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=LEGISSUM...

The summary says:

> It created a common market based on the free movement of:

> goods

> people

> services

> capital.

I assume we can differ in the opinion of how much of that has been achieved and at what time, and I agree it is far from perfect, but your statement is rather undifferentiated and categorical.
I have permanent braces attached to the back of my teeth. I know they're magnetic, i can feel a slight pull if i hold a magnet close to them.

I've been on HN for a decade and worked (tangentially) with the individual you're responding to- I don't think you should take the effort to respond at all. He's made up his mind that the current approach will improve things, and believes he has "data" to support it, but also seems absolutely naive about the intent and effects of the current administration's approaches.

Neither on of those examples are guns. Also a libertarian wouldn't just accept you murdering them, they would obviously attempt to defend themselves. Your arguments are kind of weak.
Zuck has bigger things to care about. But in-aggregate they're checking all of that stuff; it's how Meta knew to buy Instagram (a ton of their users were using it).
pairing this with yaegi [1] would be interesting. You could having a REPL open doing os operations and when you get the data looking like you want, you select which lines to save to a file.

I admire the author who took up the challenge of writing a KV DB and cherishing self's efforts. I hope someday I could do something similar and feel accomplished.
It's a part of it, for sure. Apple is apprehensive of monopoly findings, because it'll provide more ammo for the future lawsuits regarding its AppStore monopoly.
I have similar suspicions towards unknown web apps, because even with how good browser sandboxing has gotten it just takes a single click or less to set off a nasty chain of 0days.

For native apps, I treat non-obvious need for sudo or admin priveleges as a smell. The way everything on Windows needs admin is actually one of the reasons why I don’t use it for anything but games.
This isn’t quite the forum for those kind of questions. But thank you for asking.
One of the creators of Hydro here. Yeah, one way to think about Hydro is bringing the dataflow/query optimization/distributed execution ideas from databases and data science to programming distributed systems. We are focused on executing latency-critical longrunning services in this way though rather than individual queries. The kinds of things we have implemented in Hydro include a key-value store and the Paxos protocol, but these compile down to dataflow just like a Spark or SQL query does!
I wonder how many people agree with me that two unrepentant monopolists (and the two halves of a completely-indisputable duopoly) such as these justifiably shouldn't be allowed to make any financial deals with one another by default, in a fair and sane world.

Or at minimum, any such deal should be illegal unless explicitly approved by a regulator as not harming competition.
Currently, Hydro is focused on networked applications, where most parallelism is across machines rather than within them. So there is some extra overhead if you want single-machine parallelism. It's something we definitely want to address in the future, via shared memory as you mentioned.

At POPL 2025 (last week!), an undergraduate working on Hydro presented a compiler that automatically compiles blocks of async-await code into Hydro dataflow. You can check out that (WIP, undocumented) compiler here: https://github.com/hydro-project/HydraulicLift
I think the population of people buying bespoke suiting is small enough that you would not want to alienate your existing customers. I agree that they should raise the prices, but I've got to think there's an aspect of a relationship there. It was hinted at, a little bit, in the article. It's not just a financial transaction, I mean.
MilleniumDB is an interesting engine, as is Qlever mentioned in other comments. I think both are good candidates at making RDF graphs one or two orders of magnitude cheaper to host as sparql endpoints.

Both seem to have arrived at the stage of transitioning from research to production code.

Very exiting for those of us providing our data in RDF and exposing Sparql.

AWs Neptune analytics is also very interesting, allowing Cypher on RDF graphs. Even the Oracle inbuilt RDF+Sparql seems to have improved greatly in 23ai.
Only if the system was optimal to begin with - and it was very far from optimal so there is plenty of room to improve without so unknown hidden cost. Which is not so say that there is no unknown hidden cost - just that there doesn’t have to be.
The method involves closing the mouth and pinching the nose shut and trying to "exhale". As the wiki notes further down, this can cause damage to your hearing if you do it too forcefully, so use other methods first.
Yeah, the issue is how the cash was spent, who it was given to.

I'd rather have money printing be used for long-term investments, all things being equal.

But if it can be done, I'd rather inject it in the real economy rather than in the stock market and second-hand real estate.
Multiple things could have been done to do that. Rent freeze + automatic social security payments (rather than paying the business, you pay the now inactive employees until the economy starts again) would have been great.

The amazing part with ozempic is that it's been around for quite a while.
Fundamentaly it should not loose its core values to still count as being here.

Someone linked this wiki page [1] in the thread. This might be it.

> The effectiveness of the "yawning" method can be improved with practice; some people can achieve release or opening by moving their jaw forward or forward and down, rather than straight down as in a classical yawn,[6] and some can do so without moving their jaw at all by activating the tensor tympani muscle, which is heard by the individual as a deep, rumbling sound.

> During swallowing or yawning, several muscles in the pharynx (throat) elevate the soft palate and open the throat. One of these muscles, the tensor veli palatini, also acts to open the Eustachian tube. This is why swallowing or yawning is successful in equalizing middle ear pressure.

>You're telling me that food has become so addictive and modern life so sedentary that we now need to fundamentally change human biochemistry to resolve the issues those things cause?

Yes, absolutely yes.
