IANAL. The chain of argument is roughly: WP was transferred to WPorg -> WPorg promised open access to WP ecosystem (including plugins) -> Matt/Automattic retained effective control over WPorg -> Matt/Automattic abused their control over WPorg to sabotage WPE's ability to provide contractual services -> WPE's customers suffered.

EDIT: I think the part causing most confusion is relying on customer's expectation that they are NOT using WPE's product, but rather using WP plus WPE's services. I.e. If X contractor installs a thing to your house/car/whatever and then manufacturer of that thing then uses it to sabotage your business, you get a claim against manufacturer, not you against contractor.
I've hired people part and full time in developing countries (Malaysia, India, and Vietnam).

Westerners will be very skeptical of your skills, so its very important to have a strong portfolio.

Random advice:

- Talented people tend to select other talented people to work with. So if your portfolio is ugly, because the designer was bad, then that will reflect poorly on you.

- Focus on Frontend skills (web and mobile). I think western clients prefer building backend locally, but are more comfortable outsource the frontend.

- Have a day job and be busy. I have had much better luck hiring talented devs that already have jobs than devs that are unemployed.

- If there is a mobile app in your portfolio, check the mobile app ratings in the client's app store before sharing it. Multiple people shared with me a 2-star finance app, because the very few American users gave it bad reviews due to the poor support for foreign passports or phone numbers. Its a bad look.

- Cold out reach to dev shops or other western freelancers. If you're a freelancer or dev shop, when it rains, it pours. Be on their short list when they are drowning in work, but no time to interview/hire, etc.

- Don't be too cheap. That's a red flag that you don't understand the industry or are low-skill and desperate for work. I'd ask at least $15/hr, even in lower cost countries.
I'm thinking in this case there is probably a legal difference between "may not" and "is not authorized", so I would expect the interpretation would be you can request data on a UK citizen in the US but not demand - so up to whoever you request it from.

For any U.S Person you may not say anything about it at all. I mean that is totally reasonable, if they want that data it's basically a diplomatic matter not a demand you issue.
That itself is a philosophical position

> absolutely enable this feature in a product like Home Assistant.

It's been there for half a year or so; just add either OpenAI or Anthropic LLM integrations to Home Assistant, and you'll get a better personal assistant than anything Apple, Google or Amazon ever released.

The magic really is 1) SOTA LLMs that are good at understanding what you mean, and 2) no commercial bullshit that's degrading functionality (like having to say brand names to do stuff).
Good point, yeah, it's not hard to exploit this, but as it's a single player game, cheating just hurts you. On desktop, you can open the console and write score=100000. However, i see how the challenge feels less interesting if you have to actively avoid cheating. I think i could add a slower and slower puck move as you pause the game more and more times in a run, this way that "trick" quickly looses interest, while you still get to pause the game if you reached your stop in the metro, and won't be punished for it.

Helion Energy (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8178450) has been going 11 years and building prototypes and raising many millions by saying power is 5 years away or so and not publishing any results. So I guess that model works sort of.

You could probably s/LLM/human/ in your comment. Essentially all intelligent life is a pachinko machine that takes a bunch of sensory inputs, bounces electricity around a number of neurons, and eventually lands them as actions, which further affect sensory inputs. In between there may be thoughts in there, like 'I've no more to say', or 'Shut your mouth before they figure you out'. The question is, how is it that humans are not a deterministic computer? And if the answer is that actually they are, then what differs between LLMs and actual intelligence?

Or bunker oil.

But yes, fuel-based powerplant, likely as part of a hybrid drive running electric motors powering propellers themselves.

Marine propulsion is already pretty optimised for efficiency (turn on engine, set to cruise power, maintain for 14 days, little acceleration, starts, stops, and/or hills), so a hybrid setup would work pretty effectively.

The far greater challenges are Q>1 and reliable fusion within a ship's structure.

I don't expect bikes to take market share from cars.

Bikes have been around for a long time and are expected to technically stay the same in the foreseeable future.

Electric buses are so much better than gasoline buses. Fewer vibrations, less noise. Makes it much more suitable to relax or do some work on your phone. Plus, the cost (manufacturing+maintenance+fuel) of electric buses is 25% lower than the cost of gasoline buses. At the moment, only 10% or so of buses are electric. So the effect of these two improvements are mostly still to hit the market.

And in a few years, buses will start to become autonomous. Which reduces the costs of a bus operation by 70%.

Imagine we get autonomous electric buses with nice seats and tables. Then you can do your work in a bus while getting from A to B super cheap. Mobility would be so different.

> Speaking as the person who pops up to defend the Online Safety Act

Do you defend the aims of the Act, the Act itself, or both?

I'm having to figure out compliance for a volunteer run, donation funded forum, and I think the Act itself could (and should) have been better written. I don't think Ofcom can handle it better than they are, because until it's tested in court they haven't the ability to say what the vague and undefined terms mean.
Not all of it. Our Institutions are not as strong as Western counterparts and not week as our neighbours to collapse into military dictatorship.

I blame the absolutist institutions more than colonization.
> The danger is on the other side, you give the AI all your symptoms, it tells you you're fine, nothing is wrong, don't do anything.

It goes both ways. Replace "you give the AI" with "you give the doctor" and the issue "nothing is wrong" does not magically disappear. As a matter of fact, many doctors I have spoken with couldn't diagnose a thing and I wouldn't trust them.

One of them googled about the potential symptoms of the disease in front of me because he had no familiarity with it. And that's fine I guess since humans cannot know everything? But this only reinforces the point that LLMs can definitely have their place in assisting people, and their doctors, with diagnosing their health conditions.

Imagine you have a doctor who has read through literally all the medical books, documentation, research topics, experiments ... whatnot. Human of that kind does not and simply cannot exist. I think not many people understand the value and potential of LLMs, no matter how much this particular topic would be seen as sensitive or controversial.

> Would privacy also be better? Because the government is more trustworthy regarding the collection of movement data than private companies?

On this topic, I think public/private ownership, and public/private usage, makes no difference either way.

Public transport can be privately owned. Back in the UK, the majority of busses I saw were Stagecoach[0].

But even when government owned, that doesn't remove the argument in favour of CCTV: here in Berlin we have BVG[1], which is government owned, and I'm fairly sure the blobs I see on the ceiling are CCTV cameras[2].

I think what does make a difference is rules like GDPR — but cookie popups have shown that it's an uphill struggle to force businesses to actually follow that law rather than demand "consent" before doing business, or to actually minimise their usage of tracking to the level where "legitimate interest" actually applies and therefore they don't need to ask (as opposed to the IMO wishful thinking "legitimate interest" used by some cookie popups).

Well, apparently even sovereign countries sign treaties with each other.
The biggest issue with US media is allowing for opinion to be mixed with news. Essentially everything is opnion, everything is biased in some way. If you look at the other side of the pond you have news outlets reporting news without stating opinion, and highlighting multiple view points. Then there are separate talkshows where people around a table discuss news and other actualities. Doesn’t mean there isn’t bias in the news outlets, because they can still choose not to report on something - but generally it is fairly in the middle.

Under no circumstances will UK be authorized to spy on a US citizen; the UK may possibly get authoritarian to spy on a UK citizen in the US, but can't do it merely because it's someone they're interested in or even a UK citizen visiting.

With your clarification.
In general? no - Teslas spying on you is orthogonal to mode of transport. And specifically no where I live because all the buses have CCTV.
Might i ask for your Role or "Who" is we?
This is a bit of a weird take.

For starters, people don't buy a house to live in solely because of the financials around it. They also buy the house because they want it.

When it comes to mortgage vs. buying outright, it just depends. I managed to get a very low interest rate for my primary home; the money I didn't put into the house is busy making quite a bit more than that very low interest rate for me yearly. If I were to rent out the house, I could probably get more for it than what I'm paying in mortgage interest + property taxes, so renting isn't really better (and then I'd be subject to the rent-jacking whims of my landlord). But even if I couldn't, I still just... want this house to be mine. There's value in that to me.

> if you HAVE to do a mortgage, then its likely that renting will be a better deal for you

This is very regionally-dependent. There are places where rents are significantly more expensive than mortgage payments, and places where homes cost so much that most people rent at a fairly reasonable rate in comparison.

The Online Safety Act is vague because its purpose is not to create a regulatory system, but instead to empower Ofcom to create a regulatory system that can effectively regulate a wide range of business models and online services, including those that do not exist and are currently inconceivable.

Yes, as Gen X still into gaming, it is kind of interesting seeing all those remarks about the rise of PC gaming, PC gaming, alongside 8 and 16 bit home computers were all that we had, in Europe almost no one was that into consoles.

They existed surely, with SEGA on the forefront, but not something most households cared about.

Home computers gaming was what the majority of us had.

Addendum:

I should have addressed this in my peer comment, from the Launch HN header above

Why ships? They don’t have great alternatives—the shipping industry is desperate to decarbonize. Hydrogen and ammonia are being explored, but come with serious downsides: low energy density, flammability, leaks, and massive infrastructure challenges.

Is a bit odd from my PoV as it skipped over methanol .. the "green" fuel of choice in shipping today, with supply contracts already inked and signed, ships built, and more in pipeline.

DNV GL welcomes Lindanger to fleet – world’s first methanol fuelled ocean-going vessel (2016)

“We are very pleased to see the completion and launch of this exciting and innovative newbuilding,” says Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO at DNV GL – Maritime.

“This is the first time a dual-fuel engine with a Low Flashpoint Liquid (LFL) fuel system has been installed on an ocean-going vessel and it is a testament to the excellent cooperation between all the project partners that we have been able to complete this unique project and gain flag state approval. Methanol as a marine fuel is a very promising option to enable owners to reduce the environmental impact of their vessels and to comply with low sulphur and ECA regulations and we look forward to working on many more projects using this innovative marine fuel and technology.”

Fixing a macOS Annoyance Apple Never Did – DockLock Pro
For years, macOS users have struggled with the Dock randomly jumping between screens when using multiple monitors. Apple never fixed it, despite countless forum complaints. I built DockLock Lite to lock the Dock in place, and now I’m building DockLock Pro to give users full control over Dock movement with hotkeys, automation, and custom rules. No system hacks—just a clean, App Store-safe fix.

An article that argues against GA:
https://alexkritchevsky.com/2024/02/28/geometric-algebra.htm...

TLDR:

- GA tends to attract a lot of crackpot. In fact most mathematicians avoid the name Geoemtric algebra and call it Clifford algebra to disassociate with them.

- Most of the usefulness of GA comes from just exterior algebra and exterior product/wedge product is more important than geometric product.

- It shows up in spinor field in physics but this does not concern most people that do not work in quantum physics.

My rudimentary view towards GA:

- It is useful in game physics since rotors can represent n-dimensional rotation in 2^{n-1} numbers instead of n^2 numbers as 2^{n-1} < n^2 when n <= 6. You can use PGA if you want to add translation as well. It is also better in interpolation.

- Outside of this you should just probably just learn exterior algebra instead.
Think of how much joy it would bring to people if the author would work on a piece of software which would be consistently useful beyond the one-time novelty.

Of course, it's a matter of proportion - I'm not saying that only things of utility and no "fun" stuff need ever be produced; but this is a rather extreme case.
You're right, but unfortunately you forgot that:

1 - Before Steam take it's cut there are taxes and refunds, 15-20% depend on geography of sales.

2 - Publisher need to recouperate spendings agreed in contract, but yeah then it's likely between 40 and 60%.
