I think the 360 backwards compatibility is a mix of emulation and certain parts being disassembled & recompiled for x86 with some black magic.

How long does it take to develop a general purpose, fully capable OS, from scratch? Not a *NIX / POSIX variant, but brand new?

Hi, do you offer visa / allow remote from the EU (GMT+2)
I don't know why you think the north and Scotland would be better off together. The south east would only get richer under such a scenario.

Taxes-too-high is a common refrain but income tax + national insurance takes 26% of my 95th-percentile income. Is that so bad?

> At this point, the directive may have caused more e-waste and environmental damage from part failures than the damage the original leaded soldier would have caused.

“May” is doing a lot of work there. Can you substantiate the claim that the risk of lead is lower than the switching cost?
iPad OS is just terrible.

What numbers are you using for your COL comparison? Because each time I tried to compare these - to get a feel of what the same standard of living would cost me in North America - I always came up with about 1.7-2x at least ( ignoring the valley). So if you say it’s similar, we either mean different things, or use different sources.
For comparison: 70k€ gross is already 60% more than median (which is 44k in 2024, according to stepstone data).
According to census.gov, „Real median household income was $80,610 in 2023“. So while the median income might be an imperfect proxy and comparing stepstone data with census data might be incomplete, I thing a difference of nearly 100% suggests that you cannot directly compare German income with North American.
Make opening a settings page require multiple queries to Microsoft servers. That way you get lag with a bonus of variability and in the case of broken wifi, extreme lag as it waits for the connections to time out.

I'm not saying this is what happens. But it's scarily plausible and it really shouldn't be.
TSMC has a massive 65% of the market. There is no way Samsung or any other player can plug that whole in terms of sheer capacity before a quite long investment cycle.
How was I supposed to know to look in settings for features I don't know exist?
iOS becomes good a year after release, then Apple stops you from installing stable version, forcing install of unstable version with unwanted features.

Nokia was originally a rubber company, meaning at one point you could find the same logo on cellphones, car tires and rubber boots.

(If you're wondering how you get from rubber to phones, they had rubber-coated cables and wired telephone switches along the way.)

It was the first good trackpad that supported gestures that are now common, things like two finger swipe to scroll (inertial scrolling was huge), pinching, two-finger for right click. I still see people using windows laptops with a mouse plugged in because in general windows laptops have touchpads that suck, and it was way more common a decade ago. Innovation in the windows laptop space was adding unusable gimmicks like a scroll stripe or right-click by tapping in a corner. And then apple introduced a haptic trackpad so you can do a tactile click anywhere, none of that bullshit tap to click where you have to keep your hand lifted so you don't accidentally tap on something. And windows laptops are still lagging behind, at least they got rid of buttons and have hinged touchpads, now we wait for them to catch up and add haptics.
"Negative probabilities" is being imprecise -- as you allude to, what we really mean are quantum mechanical amplitudes that are out-of-phase relative to each other, such that we get constructive and destructive interference when you convert them into concrete probabilities. (Feynman also acknowledges this lack of precision in terminology, but ultimately this text was not intended to be rigorous scientific proof but rather building intuition for this problem that he was deeply interested in.)

I believe Feynman's discussion of hidden variables is a reference to the EPR paradox (see: Einstein's infamous quote that "God does not play dice") and the various Bell tests (which at this point in time had experimentally demonstrated that hidden-variable theories were inadequate for describing QM). If you continue in the paper, he then goes on to describe one of those experiments involving entangled photons.

(I believe he described this setup: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test#A_typical_CH74_(sing...)

In particular, what we definitely can't do is generate random numbers for measurements of individual particles while assuming that they're independent from each other. So now we have to consider the ensemble of particles, and in particular we need to consider the relative phases between each of them. But now we're getting back to the same exponential blowup that caused us to run into problems when we tried to simulate the evolution of the wavefunction from first principles.
If that interests you, maybe the question "how did it get to be like this" will too. This video is pushing a point down your throat. If you can ignore that at the end it compares Canada's New London to Holland’s Utrecht: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=040ejWnFkj0

Turns out the choice between "Middle America Suburbia" path and the other you describe really is a choice. Some have very deliberately chose one and some equally deliberately have chosen the other.

Like you I've nearly always lived in the "American Suburbia" style. Like you I literally didn't realise (in fact I would have scoffed at the idea) there were other choices. That was despite the fact I was taught by migrant European teachers, who, when I look back, made it very plain what they thought of the "American Suburbia" style of living. Us calmly accepting the extra overheads of longer roads, consequent travel times, power transmission, transport fuel costs, freight and so on just blew them away. It blew me away too once I understood it.

Then, again like you, I got live in one of these high density neighbourhoods for a very short while, and experienced the level of social cohesion and the "big village" feel of it.

Now I think "wtf? I've been had".

> Masaki had the idea to register a three-diamond trademark, along with the "Mitsubishi" name, which means 'three diamonds.' (It may surprise you to learn that this was ten years before the much better-known Mitsubishi Group of heavy industry companies registered its name and identical mark. Mitsubishi Pencil has no connection to the numerous other Mitsubishi companies in Japan; it is and has always been a manufacturer of writing and drawing supplies.)

Well, I learned something new today. I always thought the pencils were part of the group but apparently they're not.

Seeing the iconic three diamond mark along with the name always made me think the pencils were related to the cars.
Thinkpads are okay now, still mostly hinged and no haptics, maybe they have it on the most expensive carbons.
> The British used to sell appliances without the plug attached - it was just bare wires. Buying the plug separately and knowing how to attach it was just a basic skill you were expected to know.

I'm having flashbacks to moving back to the US from the UK-o-sphere, and re-splicing plugs for appliances that supported both voltages.
xbox 360 is pretty close to modern graphics hardware; in fact it debuted modern shader arch a bit before it became the PC standard.

You're describing how a market functions. If the gas plants went offline tomorrow, could the wind turbines produce sufficient energy to power the national grid?

I think Rawgabbit is trying to get at the point that you need to price in the externalities to find the actual value of something.

They're trying to explain in good faith as far as I can tell.
My own [local government] is so stupid its own massive 7-figure park project got blocked by [local government] planning halfway through. For about a year instead of a park we’ve had two massive holes surrounded by fences. Too many taxes, too much nimbyism. This one really is that simple.

I’ll disagree and say all war is indeed terrorism. But I do actually think the term is meaningless and just made up so people can say their violence is righteous while others is bad.

This has become painfully obvious when groups like Hamas are labeled terrorists, but the guys slaughtering civilians with 1000lb bombs aren’t.

Or when Luigi offs a CEO it’s terrorism but when corporate policies cause the death of thousands or millions, it’s just capitalism baby.
Notebook looks good, much less expensive than Rhodia or Yu-Sari for 300 sheets of A5, assuming paper quality is as advertised. Priced in dollars although I’m not sure if they actually ship to to the us.
I simply love how it’s three tuning forks - I had a Toyota Celica GT-S with the Dual cam motor that spun to 8,200 redline and the sound it made was amazing and I’ve always had a feeling Yamaha’s motor division still values their music heritage when they can. That engine sang…

He's an artist, not an engineer. I'm willing to believe that the toaster genuinely is his best effort. I know that I could do far better, but I have a lifetime of experience in herding atoms. I suspect that my attempt at oil painting would be equally risible.
The problem is the continuity. Nobody to maintain it after the employee departs. And also legal compliance. For GDPR you have to be careful of where you store personal info, how you protect it etc. We don't want it ending up on random S3 buckets. For these reasons we centralise such things.

Most employees won't care about that, they're just looking for the easiest way to get their job done. But that can lead to hundreds of millions in fines not to mention the reputation damage. I don't like things being locked down either. But I understand the reasoning behind it.
The carriers aren't sailing around alone - they're escorted by a whole fleet (plus air patrol) that will intercept the drone launching vehicle at multiple dozen nautical miles range. Smaller quadcopter drones won't even get close to catching the carrier (which can travel over 40 kts while evading) before their batteries die. And even if a few hundred got through, how much damage can they really do? I'd imagine the flight decks can be patched quickly, although some radar equipment & any jets parked at the time of the attack would probably be lost.

It's definitely a concern as part of a larger attack, but I don't think a quadcopter drone swarm alone is likely to sink a carrier or leave it combat ineffective in the long term.
As a worker, I don't want 10% of my business' volatile profit. I would rather have reliable cash, that I can invest in SP500. Or at least that is the case with employees of most businesses.
Yes, but that is simply because they don't have a better choice.

Given the choice between a $200 DJI and a $100 homebuilt "killer" drone, you would probably want 2x of the killer drones. However, if your bottleneck is your manufacturing capabilities instead of your money, then you might be forced to use the DJI drones instead of the custom killers.
A Kitchenaid K5-A mixer cost $159 in 1960. That would be $1,700 today. I'll bet you can get someone to make you a replacement metal gear for something less than $1,000.

Successfully reproduced. Rough. Maybe they counted on people bailing out after attempting to trudge through the sloppy mess that is the newish Settings app before they even got to the Change wallpaper section, forgetting that there was another path.

What “value” does any for profit company have, except ya know, profits? Especially multinational corporations and especially Silicon Valley bro-companies?

I wish we could somehow ban words like values, family, standards etc from corporate lingo. Why can’t this dude just take the money and go quietly? Does he really think that someone is going to read his statement and think “ah, poor guy, it was an honest mistake”? The level of fakery in the corporate world … yikes
A few yeas ago my friend had his iphone replaced three times under warranty. Every single time the mic failed and it came up with a message after boot that an audio device had failed. His next phone was an Android one.
That you're still here to write that comment is selection bias. (Also: riding since you're 5 suggests you're probably good at it, which is a different kind of selection bias.)
The last government intentionally banned the cheapest source of energy, onshore wind, from being built in England, by making it so that a single complaint could stop a project.

I cannot believe this article talks about planning constraints and energy prices and doesn't mention that.
Yes you still do. Sophisticated companies (Amazon, Google, Meta, many others) will serve ads from the same domains that serve the content you actually want. Pihole can't block the ads without blocking everything. Ad blockers are necessary to block specific pieces of content from amazon.com, youtube.com, etc., while still letting you use the service. It's a constant cat and mouse game, but ublock origin does a good job of staying updated.

I first saw the trick in 2009 when Linda Brown Westrick independently discovered it as a way to parallelize sequential sampling of MCMC chains.
Fascinatng that `brexit` isn't mentioned once in that article. Making trading harder with your closest neighbour can't be a great move for the economy.
I had this idea for a long time, but for bikes And of course for speeding. You launch the drone, which can go at tremendous speeds. Goes ahead, and reports back if any cars-tractors-cops-whatever are in your way. So you could react faster or the bike itself could brake before the obstacle would appear on your horizon.
This happens everywhere in enterprise and government because policies and processes are designed to avoid mistakes or embarassment at any cost (because those risks are internalised by the bureacracy and therefore "real") but do not account for the cost of not being able to get anything done, because those are externalised and everyone involved in the various committees and review processes gets paid regardless.

I wish there were better ways to align incentives here.
Ask HN: Privacy concerns with foreign corporation in California
Hi folks, I have incorporated c corp in delaware and looks like I have to file personal information of CEO and other board members to California Secretary of State. This results my personal information and addresses to be shown publicly and I am not that comfortable doing that even though I am not doing anything illegal.

Do you know any solution for these privacy concerns? Thanks!
Should be closer to 50%. You hit a lot of limits way before that (sadly). A simple run of napkin math gives 3.7M net from 7M gross. 70k gross nets 43k, 700k gross nets 380k.
I would assume 7M gives you more motivation to invest into reducing taxes than 70k do, though.
Wind isn't going to power the grid by itself.
The article is dated the 16th, before the HN outrage around the 25th, over the video skit about some YC factory worker surveillance startup.

If the writer had the benefit of seeing the few-post outrage on the 25th, they probably would've written the article differently, and maybe also reflected on the dynamic with the workers.

In a startup, when you have to do all the things, and you're constantly learning, it's easy to miss some things. Also, a lot of the funded tech startups are of founders of rich parents and sheltered upbringings, for various reasons. So (like all humans) they often have little understanding of the situations of people who are not them, and therefore little automatic empathy for the not understood. Often (this can also be normal human reaction), they will implicitly imagine themselves as deserving whatever privileges they have, and therefore having superior merit over others who don't have that. So, without reflection, one might accept the situation of one person calling themselves CEO at 20, and taking the lion's share of the entire effort's wealth, while another person is belittled and treated like shit, since (the implicit belief goes) they both must merit their lots in life.

Unless and until we stop and think about it. I think that most people here on HN, when we're distracted from empathy, by all the commotion of all things we have to pay attention to, will care once it's pointed out. We stop and reflect, and then we try to learn and do better.
This is me halfremembering recent comment on HN. It's structured so that the ip is owned by an American company that licenses to ASML or something like that.
Hey guys, After 3 months of development as side work, I'm excited to launch PingFuse - a tool that helps freelancers get instant notifications for perfect-match Upwork jobs.

As a freelancer, I was tired of constantly refreshing job feeds and still missing out on great opportunities. The first few applicants often have a significant advantage, so I built PingFuse to solve this problem.

The tool uses AI to match jobs to your skills and can send instant notifications via Telegram or Browser notifications. It also includes an AI proposal generator to help you respond quickly with tailored applications.

I've made the core features available for free, with a Premium tier for those who need unlimited AI proposal generation.

I'd love to get your feedback and hear your thoughts. If you're a freelancer or know someone who is, I'd appreciate you checking it out!
