> they make too many different things to really make a few great things

While true of a company like Samsung I don't think this explains the lack of a small iPhone. Apple is only going for simple relative to someone like Samsung. They now have FIVE current models, spanning what is effectively two screen sizes (but actually four, which is worse, because now you're spreading yourself across FOUR form factors minimum.)

So even Apple isn't playing by the "too many different things" rule. In reality they could accomplish all this with two models: a big one and a small one. Add in a "mini" size and now you have three models, plus much better variety.

I won't quibble about what is best for Apple's bottom line though; I assume they know better than me. But I will quibble about neglecting what people are asking for while giving them things they aren't asking for.

> Small phones are also difficult.

No, they aren't. It used to be that big phones were difficult. Then screens got cheaper, and now they choose BIG every. single. time. They don't choose big because it's easy, they choose it because it sells better.
Been raising chickens for years. You certainly can get eggs "for free" by selling excess eggs. But, on top of actually protecting and caring for your hens you will also need to cull unproductive hens. Failing to replace and cull unproductive hens older than 2 years will result paying to feed freeloaders without getting anything in return. I feed my chickens everything out of the kitchen. Their run space is filled with wood chips and is my primary source of compost for the garden. Garden waste goes to the chickens. Its is beautiful cycle.

If I maintain my flock of 18 and get decent feed prices ($0.26/lb) my cost per dozen is ~$3.50 in the winter (2-6 eggs a day) and less than a dollar in the summer (8-15 eggs a day). If I free range them feed cost is even lower.

I think everybody that can should have chickens. They need about 1/4 lb of food a day. A family can maintain a small flock on kitchen waste alone.
The president can take over command of state national guards from governors, however they are bound to defend the constitution just like the others and ought to obey unconstitutional attempts to give them orders.
I've still got Signal installed, but never use it, I only ever ended up chatting on it with a few ex-colleagues, who were fellow devs / nerds.

I have so many WhatsApp group chats (here in Australia) that are critical for me these days, and that I don't control, and that have way too many people, and way too diverse a range of people, for me to have any hope whatsoever of migrating them all to Signal. School parents group chats (one for each class that my kids are in). Strata (aka Home Owners Association) committee group chat. Scouts group chat. Various friends groups chats. Boycotting WhatsApp is not an option for me, it would literally make me unable to function in a number of my day-to-day responsibilities.
I think the description I gave is consistent with the one used when Democrats get the "majority" of the vote. You can sealion the definition as much as you like, but it won't make you right.

The result feels as much the will of the people as any other US election result.
> Maybe Signal's documentation will tell you.

Not the person you replied to, but I just tried googling half a dozen different terms and got results that have nothing to do with Signal.

> Remember that Signal is designed for non-technical users.

That does not prevent them from putting up a warning message that says "You just scanned a code which will allow another device to read all future messages sent to you, and send messages from your identity. Are you sure you want to do that? And the button says "link devices", not "yes" or "no."

I think the frustration here is that Signal petulantly and paternalistically refuses to allow you to fully sync to another device (and for years refused to even allow you to back up messages) because supposedly we can't be trusted with such a thing...but then they leave the QR code system so idiotically designed it's apparently trivial to phish people into linking their devices to malicious actors?

Why the fuck does scanning a QR code, without having first selected "link device", even open that dialog? Or require a PIN code they obsessively force us to re-enter all the time?

It's obviously ripe for abuse.

We admonish people for piping a remote document into their shell but a QR code that links devices with one click is OK?
Any company looking to hire a CEO will have to pay market rates. Those market rates are not make-or-break expenses for the vast majority of companies
Of course they were and are part of the Executive Branch. But the precedent for many decades was they were independent. Because not everything that happens in this world is governed by an explicit law.

And what is happening is unprecedented and right to be concerned about it.
My guess is that that would increase the risk of a pandemic in humans.
Mostly they can spread it to you and to any other animals around and by the time you’re aware that they’re infected, they’ll be seriously ill. Or shorter; the chances x benefit of them they developing immunity are much lower than the chances x cost of them becoming ill and having the virus mutate in a much worse direction.
I think you should look up what kinds of cases were rejected in the 60's/70's before claiming "liberals started it". They weren't super radicalized back then as to only vote on their own lines.

I argue conservatives started it with Citizens United. Thereby making the democracit process a game of who kisses the ring of the most billionaires.
Then you need to check some of his sources better.
I don't know about all of FAANG and about recent policies, but last I checked, Facebook and Google adjust your pay based on location. Even if you start in the USA and transfer to another office you'd take a pay cut.

As far as I know they still pay more than average for the area, but you wouldn't keep your USA salary.
Plus ad hoc markdown extensions, Lua plugins, ... For me it's Typst.
For starters nobody uses an electric fence for chickens. You have them for cattle because they’re so big building a fence sturdy enough they can’t just push over is expensive.
Looking at your profile page, do you use a local model then?
The nice thing about sitting on my ass all day for work is during playtime its nice to get up and do something rather than couch potato myself in to non-existence.
In theory I start integrating some safe image api or something, but I'm not seasoned enough to know if scrubbing the data away manually then is going to be easy enough. Right now I use supabase email auth , and I figure that cuts things down somewhat.

And if I am to have a plan, why not just implement from the start?
I did try, and I did not find the option whether to separate between file and folders, so I will look more carefully.
Certainly useful for authoring, since that's what I do most now as a founder. Most of my code is pretty fresh. While I can give you some feedback, I probably wouldn't pay more than a couple bucks a month. Meanwhile the larger, older codebases at more mature companies have much greater need and budgets.

Why can't the journalists in all these DOGE firings articles tell us the denominator?
Opinion piece on why Apple’s design is slipping, and Android is used as its perfect shield. By scaring users away from alternatives, it filters out the troublemakers, the misfits, the rebels—the ones who push for better. And in doing so, it’s losing the very visionaries that once made it great.
I was fine with the comment you are complaining about. Not everything is factional
Like others have said, you have to wait for a position to open up in your target country. Compensation is often tied to location even domestically with FAANG. I don’t think most tech companies are going to let you keep San Francisco (hypothetically) compensation when you move to a country where they are paying much less.

Even the mid size cloud consulting company I work for (full time) hires from 6 different countries and the compensation structure is different for each. When I did work for Amazon remotely, comp was also based on location. I’ve seen the same from talking to people at Google.

Besides, most FAANG jobs require you to be in the office these days.

Why do you want to leave? I understand if you think America is in a long term decline. But my first thought is that as long as I am working and not dependent on the government for part of my livelihood - social security and Medicare - I should be fine.

I have seriously thought about and talked to my wife about moving to either Costa Rica or Panama once we retire.

My second thought is what is going to happen in Europe once they have to beef up their military spending as the US has shown to be an unreliable partner.
From my limited exposure: There are enthusiasts on racing bikes. But other than that, few people cycle in Italy.
You can confirm on the GOP website that the GOP platform is called agenda 47. You can also read agenda 47. This was published prior to the election.

Agenda 47 and project 2025 have very different approaches to matters like abortion. So far the evidence has been that the GOP supports the GOP‘s own platform in this regard, for example there’s no federal ban on abortion pills, which is part of project 2025 but not part of the GOP’s platform agenda 47.

If you are alleging a conspiracy that agenda 47 was the smoke screen in favour of the heritage foundation’s project 2025 then you will need to provide some kind of evidence for this conspiracy.
The polishing cloth is one of the rare running tech gags that's actually funny every time and doesn't wear itself out.
I can’t speak for OP, but I have the exact same question as they do. I don’t really care what the topic is, I just want to explore pages that have strong, intelligent communities who post insightful comments with an absolute modicum of true flaming/trolling.

I realize this doesn’t help you, but maybe it helps you understand why the request may have been vague?
Show HN: ColoringMagician – Generate custom coloring pages using AI
Hey HN!

I made ColoringMagician because I got frustrated trying to find specific coloring pages for my niece. She's a true painter, always complaining about how she'd draw it differently if it wasn't a very generic coloring page.

It's built using a custom model, with some tweaks to generate clean line art (turns out, making AI create consistently good coloring pages is trickier than I thought!). The most interesting part was figuring out how to convert complex images into something that's actually colorable.

Things I learnt along the way:

- Kids are brutally honest beta testers
- Making prompt templates is trial and error
- Gemini 2.0 Flash is amazing

Out of curiosity why not grow your own feed?

In many cases you can cycle the compost back in to the feed you grow (as fertilizer).

Around here our eggs are averaging about $9 per 12 on the shelves, and you can't buy just 12, the only eggs on the shelf are the 18/24 packs so about $20-22 per pack, almost the same price as choice meat.
Things are different now.

The US can destroy anyone by one guy pressing a button.

On the other hand, to win a non-nuclear war in the modern age, you need clever political positioning and a realistic end goal as well as battlefield results. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq 2.0 were all unwinnable no matter how well you fought.
Weird, I only hear the pop noise when playing the sound from my iPhone browser. After downloading it and importing it into Garage Band (in order to create a ringtone), the pop noise went away.
My laptop also doesn't play the pop noise.

Regardless, great tones! I'll use the quite ones on for unknown numbers :)

Thanks!
I suppose broader access to education and free information should influence people's behavior. Perhaps that's why people in the medieval era were less civil. Even today, some societies still deny women the right to education—clearly, some are better, and some are worse.
We definitely should investigate. No argument there. It just won't make a difference. At this point, they have gotten away with it, and the opposition did not put up a fight. They are not all of a sudden going to start putting up a fight, when there's no way they win that fight. (But realistically: they are bad at putting up fights over things in the first place, which is how we ended up here - the party with no moral qualms about much of anything ran roughshod over them)
> Apple is incapable of having decent tethering even as they control the whole ecosystem

Are they, though? Tethering from my MacBook to my iPhone or iPad is a pretty seamless experience, to the point I don't even think about it. And sometimes I get home from a cafe and forget I'm even tethering until I notice my iPhone battery is lower than expected. And this isn't Apple, but I don't even notice I'm not on my home LAN because of tailscale.

It's definitely significantly easier than dealing with built in WWAN devices & ModemManager on my linux laptop. (Or Windows, when I used it on that same hardware.)
My wife and I would love to have some backyard chickens, but ironically we live in a small farm town in Iowa where backyard chickens (both hens and roosters) are banned by town ordinance. A couple years ago a 5th grade student went before our city council to ask for an exception so she could raise chickens to show at the county fair for her 4H project; the council granted the exception, but not without raising concerns about creating a slippery slope!

https://www.nwestiowa.com/news/sibley-makes-chicken-exceptio...
What’s missing from all the calculations so far is the worth of the time you put in. Maintaining chickens isn’t free on a daily you spend around half an hour, sometimes more to tend to your chickens. Even by minimum wage standards, you’re spending quite a bit more just in labor than buying a dozen eggs for $2 more than what it was 2 years ago.
Agreed, but you risk normalizing it for yourself, and the partner playing it with you.

I don't think it's particularly harmful for someone to play it, but I would rather set the bar higher for myself.
ehh, if it was an accident it was bad luck I was there. If it was on purpose I got a lotta stuff to prepare to get that guy away from me.

But this metaphor isn't really aligning with Musk anymore.
So they reported they saved $8 billion after discovering it was really $8 million?

I'm not sure that's better.
Not saying wild things aren’t possible; designer drug glands grafted on and such would be banger and would alter human lived experience.

Another box measuring oscillations of fundamental forces will not.

Religious fear of “corrupting human nature” keeps smart people scaffolding symbolic logic in machines versus experimenting with weird science. Live, eat, mate, help line go up relative to some musty people’s political ledger, and die is all we’re allowed!

I want drug glands, regenerative tissue, and mini kaiju monstrosities grown in labs… as pets!

I remember using an ed-like editor on a Honeywell timeshare system in the 1960s, over a Teltype ASR-33. I don't remember much except you invoked it using "make <filename>" to create a new file. And if you typed "make love" the editor would print "not war" before entering the editor.
So the vercel ai js-sdk is not tied to the vercel platform and is “just” a js library which points to various llms? Is there any promise/plan/etc to keep it that way?
The other day I was playing a game that let me project fire from my finger tips and fly. It was a lot of fun, but in reality it made no logical sense...

> The most obvious issues with...

... your comment is that you're trying to analyse everything instead of just having fun. Not everything is a math' problem. It's OK to have fun things that don't make sense. I don't think the author is trying to create a perfect gaming experience. I think the author is just trying to have fun.
> because a vote can't change the direction of the executive if parts of it are on autopilot independently of the president.

That's only mildly true, and the belief of micromanagers everywhere. Ultimately, you need to set an overall direction and then let people execute within that framework, or you're going to get something that's badly run and slow as molasses.

With a nuanced interpretation, this EO even might make some amount of sense (a bit more overview/stricter guidelines). But wherever you stand politically, you can't accuse the current administration to have a sense of nuance.

And, of course, if you want to assume the worst, it's fair to point out that the EO removes all independence without having to spell out any guidelines, which means a world without guidelines and on-a-whim decisions is well possible. That's not a good thing for a regulatory environment. Or a democracy.

And that's the biggest problem - because even if the current administration has only noble goals (and I really don't want to debate this either way, let's skip that comment stream), this XO is massively ripe for abuse for people with non-noble intentions.
About the paper: if someone has gotten access to your identity (private) key, you are compromised, either with their attack (adding a linked device) or just getting MitM'ed and all messages decrypted. The attacker won.

The attack presented by Google is just classical phishing. In this case, if linked devices are disabled or don't exist, sure, you're safe. But if the underlying attack has a different premise (for example, "You need to update to this Signal apk here"), it could still work.

Right, court orders are enforced by the executive branch. Conventionally court interpretations of the law are definitive and the executive branch enforces them.

This order tells executive branch employees, including the police and court officers, that they are required to follow POTUS interpretations over all others. Implicitly that includes over court interpretations.
... or perhaps they prioritize ensuring their consultants feel like they're being looked after - replacing them when they find another job is very expensive.
> They claimed that the fact that Singapore imports so many GPUs despite a moratorium on data centers was evidence of China smuggling GPUs.

Reminded me of the Belarusian shrim export suddenly soaring[1] after sanctions against Russian started.

For those who aren't too familiar with European geography, a look at the map[2] gives an indication as to why that's rather suspicious.

Even with a highly sympathetic Supreme Court it is hard to imagine this EO standing.

It goes against the foundation of not only US law, but couple of hundred years of international democratic tradition in which allegiance is not to a person, but to the nation itself.

US civil servants and military alike swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution not the president or their commander. Illegal orders are not only expected, but required to be disobeyed.

This EO eliminates the concept of an illegal order since the law would be whatever the executive interprets it to be.
What can you pay with if you're doing financing? If they don't accept credit cards, they make way more than twenty cents back with reduced fees. If you finance on an Apple Card you don't get the 3% cash back (last time I looked).

Unless interest rates drop to 0% they're obviously still losing money, but if you follow the logic of everywhere that allows BNPL[0] you make it up by having more purchases than you would otherwise.

Ok, so maybe a controversial opinion:

I've been buying local, pasture raised chickens for the last 10 years. I am very fortunate to have had the income to allow me to do so. I also don't eat that many eggs (roughly a dozen a month - so it hasn't been that expensive).

The price of my eggs was always between $8-$12 / dozen (including this weekend when I easily found and bought another 2 dozen). I get that I was buying "already expensive eggs", because apparently other people were buying eggs $2 / dozen.

However, to be frank, I'm not sure how people expect eggs to be so cheap. Taking into account the land, the water, the feed, the labor, the transportation all to create a dozen eggs, it must cost more than $2.

Clearly paying a little more for the eggs has allowed me to support farms which are robust to large shocks like this (both in terms of input costs and in terms of health of chickens). I really hope as a society we can all move away from the unsustainable farms and improve the economics of sustainable farming so that everyone can afford locally grown, healthy eggs for centuries to come.

In the meanwhile, there will be people who have to buy fewer eggs (either because of health regulations - or because reality checks will always exist like with market shocks right now).

Hopefully, after this crisis, through graduated health regulation we can cause a controlled increase to the floor price of unsustainably grown eggs, while also (through technology and economies of scale) reducing the floor price of locally sourced, sustainably grown eggs.
> It could be that the price of used cars goes down due to oversupply, but the price of used EV's relative to the price of used ICE vehicles goes up.

Maybe? I think the best driver of that would be regulation that internalizes the externalities of gas cars, but that doesn't seem to be workable politically.

> Who's going to buy a 5 year old Camry for $20k if the price of a brand new equivalent EV is $20K?

That's a bit of a funny example, because a lot of the value in a $20k used Camry is in the fact that it says "Toyota Camry"... so really, the only "equivalent" EV for $20k is going to be a $20k mid-size Toyota EV. I think we desperately need cheaper EVs, but I don't see a short-to-mid-term reality where Toyota starts selling an EV Camry for 30% less than the current hybrid Camry MSRP.

For used pricing to come down, EV vs ICE is nearly irrelevant - we just need cheaper new cars of whatever people are buying, and I don't see anything especially promising to bring down the cost of new cars.
Windows Server exists and must not include any of Cortana/OneDrive/online accounts/...

So as long as the base for Server is the same it should at least be theoretically possible to remove unwanted components without breaking things too badly. (of course non-Server editions could hardcode something that breaks when some component is not present but I assume this is not how Windows editions work?)

Not sure how Windows Update behaves if some expected component is removed; not having it working would be pretty bad.
Some portions of bitcoin are immune. Most cryptographic hashes are believed to be quantum resilient, for example.
I laugh at Americans mocking Europeans because "they're not willing to work hard" - two reasons:

1. Salaries are shit here anyways, and any additional money you make beyond say 60k (!) is taxed at 40% or higher.
2. For compliance reasons, if you spend more than 8h in the office between "badge in" and "badge out", HR will tell you to work less because the company will get into legal trouble otherwise. It is just prohibited and you will just create headaches for everyone including yourself.
