But my point was that not all SD cards are made the same and lots of the tech-literate here on HN don't seem to know that. "SD cards are not reliable" as a blanket statement is false. You have to research to find out which ones are the best and use those, then you don't need to do weird workarounds like read-only filesystems and running from a RAM disk, you can just use the Pi like a normal computer.

No, the state can and should regulate the market such that anyone selling insurance (in CA, that’s “admitted” insurance IIRC) must meet certain requirements in regard to their ability to pay large claims. Kind of like how states and the federal government regulate banks to minimize the risk that they end up needing FDIC funds. This type of solvency regulation may not be 100% perfect, but it’s a lot better than nothing.

> It's clear that if the insurers themselves are tasked with ensuring their own solvency it would be prohibitively expensive

Why is that? Sure, a massive event like the Palisades fire might cost $40bn (in a functioning insurance market — we’ll see how much of this gets eaten by homeowners with insufficient coverage in the broken CA market), but this was still a low probability event, it ought to be spread among 10k policies or so, giving a few million dollars per policy. At a (wildly made up) risk of 1% per year of such a loss, that’s $40k per year even before accounting for the fact that these costs get shared by policies covering homes that weren’t in the Palisades. This is expensive but in line with what property taxes ought to be, and it’s manageable. And would be lower if homes were updated to meet modern WUI fire codes.

The real issue is that CA did not allow insurers to set premiums appropriately, so the insurers either get screwed or refuse to issue the policies. That was (AFAICT) the actual problematic regulation, and CA is trying to roll it back.
I don't know, I'm in Slack all day with colleagues, I quite like having the additional ChatGPT colleague (even better I can be quite rude/terse in my messages with 'them').

Incidentally I think that's also a good model for how much to trust the output - you might have a colleague who knows enough about X to think they can answer your question, but they're not necessarily right, you don't blindly trust it. You take it as a pointer, or try the suggestion (but not surprised if it turns out it doesn't work), etc.
Playing PC games on Linux through Steam is pretty decent, if imperfect, setup these days.

But I still get tripped up when it comes to the non-PC game stuff. Such as mods, streaming from other platforms (playing my PS5 on my PC), or other community tools that have a tendency to be Windows-focused.

I still haven't been able to pull the trigger on running Linux on my main desktop.

I'm a Product Manager turned Coder, I had a strong stint as a PM for 7+ years, at my last company (YC S21) I scaled the DAU from 10k to 250k+ & MAU to 1 million+.

Now I'm looking to get to the fundamentals of building. That's why I have been learning backend development for the past 1 year, you can view my resume for more details on my coding projects and my achievements from 7+ years of PM career.

Can bring a good balance of user centric mindset to feature development. Since I'm sort of rebooting my career here, I'm looking at SD-1 level roles at the moment. Would love to chat about this.

Vanguard has been reducing fees on a pretty regular basis.

My assumption is that the corporate leaders go for a dip in the McDuck money pond every year, and when the level is too high that it risks overflowing, they adjust the fees down.
Yes and: I vaguely recall that reunification was part of Xi's ideology, necessary for maintaining his domestic grip on power.

Around 2010 I was invited to interview for Google's SRE team. In the course of preparation for the interview, the Google's HR person appointed to me gave me a list of various questions I'd have to prep for. One of the questions was "what should be the next large project for Google?".

My answer, unironically, was "GoogleGovernment". The idea was to build SAP-like suite of programs that a country could then buy or rent and have a fully digital government to run the country...

Luckily, that question never came up in the interview, and remained an anecdote I share with other coffee drinkers around the coffee machine.

My younger self believed (inspired by a chapter from the UK citizen act translated into Prolog) that the success could be expanded much further (I didn't bother reading the accompanying paper, at least not at that time).

While it was already mentioned that there will be people either unable to overpower the computer system making bureaucratic decision as well as those who'd use it to avoid responsibility... I think it's due to the readers here tending to be older. It's hard to appreciate the enthusiasm with which a younger person might believe that such a computer system can be a boon to society. That it can be made to function better than humans currently in charge. And that mistakes, even if discovered, will be addressed in a much more efficient (than live humans would) and fixed in a centralized and timely fashion.

The term "hypersonic" is not a particularly helpful one. The generic term refers to an missile system traveling faster than Mach 5, but there are 3 distinct types of weapons that fall into this category, which are very different.

1. Ballistic missiles: most ballistic missile systems are hypersonic. We've had ballistic missiles since WW2, the very first American ballistic missile (the redstone) was hypersonic, and that was back in the 1950s. This is not new. People make a lot of missile like the Khinzal, but this is just an air-launched version of the Iskander missile, which is from the 1990s.

2. Hypersonic glide vehicles: normal ballistic missiles drop a re-entry vehicle that just falls to earth. It might have some stabilizing fins, and some ability to make minute adjustments to its course to improve accuracy, but this is limited. In a hypersonic glide vehicle, the re-entry vehicle is meant to be more of a glide body, and is able to make actual maneuvers and turns. The technology here is also not new. For example, the Space Shuttle is an example of a hypersonic glide body. Research in this field has been around for a long time, though it's only in the last few years that countries have begun actually fielding weapons featuring glide vehicles. The annoying part with this is that the term "hypersonic glide vehicle" implies that the reason these are so difficult to intercept is because of their speed. But it's actually the opposite: in order to maneuver, a hypersonic glide vehicle actually has to travel slower than a traditional ballistic re-entry vehicle! The advantage of a HGV is not its speed, but its ability to maneuver, which makes it harder to intercept.

3. There are also hypersonic cruise missiles. These are missiles that use ramjet or scramjet engines to fly at hypersonic speeds. These tend to be even slower than HGVs, and will have much shorter ranges because they have to consume fuel to maintain this speed. Several of these are in development, but I don't believe any have been fielded. The main advantage of these is even further maneuverability, and a lower flight altitude which should make them harder to detect. Additionally, because they are flying in the atmosphere, it requires a different type of interceptor to defeat.

Anger and spite carried me through 4 years of university. I was a complete slacker in highschool and completely bored and disconnected with the course work. Not that I couldn't do it, or was stupid, I just didn't care about it at all. My family, being ever so kind and insightful, started making snide and sarcastic comments about me to my face. That was the breaking point so I redid a couple classes, jacked up my grades, applied to university, got a scholarship and moved away. That rage carried me pretty far. The one mistake I made was applying to do a masters and completely burning out. I should've gone straight into the workforce and relaxed, enjoying the money earned from success.

I don't think it's that they've entirely ditched FB, but FB is genuinely terrible at surfacing event invites. It would prefer you to have to scroll through a bunch of irrelevant garbage in your feed that it had "recommended" instead so the product team can high five themselves over badly designed engagement metrics rather than worry if the users don't actively despise their product.
By people in change of money printer, did you mean Giancarlo Devacini, who has printed hundred billion funny tokens in some non-extradition offshore with zero audit, and used those funny tokens to buy other tokens like BTC, ETH and others? Those people? Or he is fine, because you are directly benefiting from that token printer and doesn't care about others being swindled in the process?
The US alliances with SK and JP are much closer than the alliance with Israel. For instance we have American military forces permanently forward deployed to both of those countries, but none in Israel. We also have mutual defense treaties with Japan and SK, but not Israel.

The problem is that Korean and Japanese shipyards are far more vulnerable to Chinese attack than shipyards in North America would be. But Korean shipbuilding companies have been interested in buying and building shipyards in the US, which is helpful.

A (for most of the world, in any case) possibly surprising fact about the US is that WhatsApp is not very popular there.

This indeed causes problems when wanting to create a quick ad-hoc group for a party invitation etc., if at least one of the invitees is not an iPhone user.
Depends on how much commentary you are adding. If more than a sentence it's worth having a separate page so that other people can link to what you said!

Yes. I would not be able to use my AmEx as effectively if I could not receive notifications (usually second factor for charges) in the app.
Kinda. Collective bargaining rights are great for employees but they do not automatically lead to better outcomes for customers/citizens/etc.

A good counter-example of ATC would be police. Police have strong collective bargaining rights, but mostly came at the expense of accountability and citizen oversight. (And also police departments are still chronically understaffed).
Fidelity uses those funds as marketing, and they make up for it with all the other services and funds they offer. It's intentional, and it's working.

Vanguard is more and more becoming a group that just wants to run ETFs and if you want to use them, they're making it harder and harder. They recently dumped all their 401(k) and similar plans from being in-house to some other provider.

Saves costs, makes support annoying.

Of course, you can use a Fidelity account to own Vanguard ETFs if you wanted.

Since Apple was too lazy to make it into a standard, it will probably go the way of App Clips. Niche idea, too few users to adopt it and no stakeholders with enough control to make it popular on other platforms.

Stremio v5 for Windows is now open source
I really have no choice but to install Linux now. The nag screens in Windows 10 are already getting unbearable. The over 5 year old system is still running games at high detail just fine (3950x CPU, 2080 GPU, 32Gb ram running at 2k resolution).

TPM 2.0 was finalized in Nov 2019 after the above system was built. Hardware isn't progressing that quickly anymore which makes a hardware requirement like TPM 2.0 very arbitrary honestly.

Microsoft could have easily made Windows 11 work without TPM 2.0 as the workarounds attest to. It could have been "if you don't have this, you don't get some security features but otherwise it's fine".

My conspiracy sense is tingling at the hard requirement for TPM 2.0 that really doesn't need to be there. A bit like when MS bought Skype and moved it from peer to peer voice to a central server based system with no monetary gain from doing that, someone obviously decided that needed to be done. We don't need to be asking people to throw away perfectly performant hardware to upgrade. There's actually nothing in Windows 11 enabled by the requirement since Windows 10 also supported TPM 2.0 already, it just didn't require it. I've also never been subject to the attacks TPM 2.0 protects against. There may be cases where TPM 2.0 is wanted, i can imagine it's useful for servers, but i really don't need it.

I haven't seen anyone talk about how easy it could have been to supply the city given the intent but I agree with you that it's a silly statement.

People don't understand how desperate it was. There was enough food in the USSR to keep it supplied, but creating a logistics chain from literal scratch in the middle of a war when not even the army has enough trucks and other logistical supplies for its own needs is a dire situation. The trucks from lend lease were a massive help.
> This is not true. Spotify hasn’t allowed in app purchases of subscriptions in almost a decade.

That is not true either. Spotify's Android app allows purchasing Premium in-app, with Spotify as a payment provider. I believe it's also the case that Apple Music on Android has in-app purchases, with Apple as the payment provider.
This isn't quite the same. Money that is deflating becomes literally more functionally useful the longer you hold it. Computers stay as functionally useful as you hold them and arguably degrade relative to the software you need to run on them. In your analogy you should be concerned with whether I want to sell my computer (analogous to spending my money). If a computer truly did become more functional with passing time then no, nobody would sell them unless they had to - illustrating the problem.
Not yet, though we plan to add that feature soon-ish!
As of 0.4.0, with this tool you can use LLMs to build non-LLM models for your ML use cases.

For example: you have an ecommerce site and want to rank relevant products for your users. You want to launch a prototype quickly. You could use ChatGPT as your ranker ("rank products for this user ..."), or you could use smolmodels to generate a more lightweight ranking model like a smaller neural net, etc.

They have several successful ship building companies today. Is your point that it didn't work? That doesn't seem born out by the reality of today.

So the quality is equivalent? And there are no buyers who require high quality in their ships?
They are... not spending tax money? If so, that would still be the only entity given power by the US Constitution to decide what to do with it.
That's the key, though if it's a tax-advantaged account it's not a major issue (as you can just transfer to an appropriate ETF and then ACATS that).

In taxable it could cause you to have to stay with Fidelity or eat a tax bill.

Unless you are using Apple Music or buying from iTunes. This isn’t true.

> Have you ever considered that so long as it's an American monopoly, bringing in fistfuls of cash in from abroad, there's no need to break up the goose that lays the golden egg?

And yet the Democrats tried to do exactly that and wondered why BigTech that was supportive of them until as recently as 2020 ran screaming to Trump.

Show HN: Managed SaaS product for real-time data visualization and monitoring
James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem said, “The best way to complain is to make things.”

After a decade of building data warehouses and automated data pipelines for companies - which involve new cloud infrastructure, automation and DevOps - I built Chirpier (www.chirpier.co) as a lightweight fully-managed service to visualize and monitor data streams in real-time, in the easiest way possible.

Think of Chirpier as Twillo Segment for real-time data visualization. You send the data (via API or one of our SDKs) to the Chirpier service, and Chirpier handles the rest: managing and automating your own data-pipeline, out-of-the-box charts updated in a browser frontend updating via web-sockets, real-time monitoring with configurable alerts, all within a user-friendly interface. You can then customize dashboards, and set up alerts.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback from the community!

Just release the damn thing for everyone and take advantage of the halo effect.

Sure, in an age where every social media app tries to do everything – Reels and statuses and DMs – it's nice to see an app trying to do one thing. Unfortunately, Apple seems to have done everything possible to to stymie it. It'll go the way of Game Central.
