Why is it a bad way to look at it? If anything, I'd argue Firefox is more compelling on Android than desktop.
Maybe I am explaining poorly. When I say that they want them to "not exist" I don't necessarily mean that they will literally be killed (although I do worry that it might eventually come to that). I mean that they will be forced out of social visibility and effectively memory holed. To give some examples:

The right is passing laws saying that you can't teach about trans people or gender in schools. Part of the job of schools is to teach kids about the various important social/cultural/ideologies that make up the world; things like history, capitalism, communism, democracy, dictatorships, the various world religions, atheism, etc. Forbidding teaching of a major element of society like transgender people is in effect an attempt to erase them from social consciousness.

The right is passing laws anti-drag laws that define obscenity so broadly that it can be used as a threat to suppress drag performance. Attacking a culture's artistic movements is a classic way to attempt to suppress it from the public sphere.
Time to put a dns sinkhole on your network
You can't reach 25% efficiency with monocrystalline silicon PV even with the entire industrial economy backing you up; those efficiencies require multijunction solar cells. Conveniently homebrewable PV panels, like the ZnO:Mg/Cu2O cells you link below, are closer to 1% efficient. The author reports 525mV and 0.9mA/cm², which works out to 4.7W/m², which would be 0.5% efficient if the illumination is one sun.

They probably are a better approach than the thermoelectric approach, because not only are they more efficient, they use more abundant materials and thinner films of them. But either approach could plausibly defeat the other.
Same. Copious notes in college, and never had to go back and look at 99% of them. It's like writing it scribes it into my brain.
It'd be a silly move considering how fast system prompts leak.
Yep obviously Verizon is a bloated company with zero innovation and no particular experience relevant to the FAA. Meanwhile SpaceX has experience in software, hardware, telecom, and flight. I trust them more with modernizing the FAA.

There’s also very little information on who else bid for this contract that Verizon got. How do we know it wasn’t corrupt to begin with, especially with Biden engaging in lawfare against Musk and doing bizarre things like excluding him from EV summits? The entire FAA modernization plan looks corrupt - everyone else that got contracts are random unknown companies. I bet they have ties back to some congressman.
I agree strongly on trackball being tiring on the thumb. In combination with smartphone use, it's far too much strain on this one joint.

As for straight wrists, I find that naturally happens for me as well, but my impression is that it's not great bc the torsion at the elbow can lead to RSI.
The set of people included in the regulations are a subset of all the underserved population. According to the study you linked, they should be a large portion of the underserved population. By cutting the additional regulations, you reduce friction. Let's say there is some (probably small) marginal deprioritization of the groups targeted if you remove those regulations. Even with that, if the states can more easily implement these programs, those target populations will probably benefit on net because investment is more likely to actually happen, and their location intersects with the same locations that qualify for being underserved.
While I understand that, it's not trivial to unambiguously classify when something has no property of "value". It's easy to contrive your fartcoin example, but if this were universally true you couldn't use the words "memecoin" and "rugpull" in the same context (because there's no rug to pull when something has no value) and yet that is all I see.

Wonder if P2P networking is hindered by the hardware back then vs now. I can imagine now most phones could deal with P2P networking just fine.

Software wise though idk if there is limitations baked into iOS and Android that limit this

Before solar panels become impossible to purchase, they will be difficult to purchase.

Before solar panels become difficult to purchase, they will become more expensive to purchase.

Mass produced solar panels have been getting both cheaper and easier to get. What you describe could happen, but it's far enough off that we have not seen even the first warning signs yet.

This shouldn’t really be an issue for EU users, right?
The magnetic field here is acting as a nozzle. The circuit driving the field is not doing work on the ions, and any power loss is just parasitic. It's generally not worth it for small thrusters, because the extra efficiency gained by having a magnetic nozzle is offset by the parasitic mass and power cost (here they eliminate the power cost).

>It is heartbreaking what happened to a generation of men.

Uh-huh. Which of these predictions made in 2015/2016 came true by 2020 when Donald Trump left office?

* Donald Trump will cause a stock market crash.

* Donald Trump will start WWIII.

* Donald Trump will kill or jail journalists, leftists, and members of the LGBTQ community.

* Donald Trump will ban all Muslims from entering the country.

* Donald Trump will never allow another election to occur as he will become dictator for life.

* Donald Trump will create internment camps for immigrants.

* Donald Trump will outlaw gay marriage.

* Donald Trump will ban abortion nationwide and institute a Handmaid's Tale-type dystopia.

The answer? None of them. I await the replies that these aren't the same thing and they all Really Happened or are Totally About to Happen:

>"I'm going to admit I was wrong about the timeline on all 10 things," he assured me.

>"See how you prefaced it?" I said. "You're just saying that you're wrong about the timeline."

This isn't a male issue (or female) or a right wing (or left) issue or a social media (or mass media) issue. It's a perennial human issue. It preceded mass media. It succeeded mass media. It will succeed social media.

One apocalypse or another has been at hand for more 2,500 years, always heralded by mouth-foaming prophets with dire predictions of imminent disaster. And their failure to materialize always blindly waved away by certain demographics of the earnest and gullible. And there's always a Qoholeth to every Jeremiah shouting as loudly "Nothing ever happens."

Babylon didn't fall for centuries after its prediction of imminent destruction. Jesus didn't come back in that generation's lifetime. The Mashiach is absent. The Mahdi is missing. Capitalism is still around and the Proles still in chains. There has been no Malthusian Great Starvation. There are still snows on Kilimanjaro. Obama remains an American citizen. Trump remains an American rather than Russian liability. JFK Jr is still dead. Kamala Harris still lost.

If there's one lesson to be perennially learned, it's that there's nothing perfectible about humans and their relation to culture. The delusional will always be with us and they'll always claim it's really the other side that is deluded, akshually.
Yeah they act like everything they make will be praised, or that people who criticize them can never be pleased. Be ethical.
Yes. The US does this with some larger programs ("systems of systems") if the components are sufficiently distinct. An aircraft? Not so much. A comms system? Absolutely, if it's not sold as one complete system. For instance, radios might be contracted to multiple vendors with the intent to drive down cost.

It's not universally done, though. It depends on how the program office(s) involved decide to run things.

EDIT: To expand. Look at space systems. The ground stations are not tied to specific space systems (though some space systems develop their own ground networks), that is a separate program from the satellites and SOCs. There is no one "space program". And even for a particular satellite system the SOC may be under a separate contract vehicle than the satellite itself.
This Joel on Software blog post is now 25 years old, https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-..., but when it first came out it was widely viewed as gospel.

I'm generally a big fan of Joel Spolsky, but in retrospect, I think this advice is just wrong, and I think Skype is a perfect counterpoint. That is, sometimes a rewrite is a horrible idea, but at the same time sometimes not doing a rewrite is a horrible idea. If making changes to the code becomes such a nightmare that your rate of progress is much less than your competitors, you're going to lose.

While there is still some good advice in that blog post, hard-and-fast rules are rarely correct. Most things in engineering are tradeoffs, and it's tough to know sometimes what the right balance is.
Yeah, unfortunately the list of federal judges skews heavily towards team Trump.
Show HN: Chicory – JSX that removes footguns and adds guardrails
What you are talking about is a pure theory and never exist in real world. Start with trusted 3rd party - trusted by who?

Starlink technologically can provide better connectivity in terms of speed and reliability compared to Verizon (can doesn’t mean it will of course). So there is some credibility to the decision.

But of course populace prefer to focus on flamboyant personalities instead of “based on cost, risk, timetables” ain’t it?
The trouble is, it's hard to say how long the "bad times" arc will last.

Intelligence. I'm talking about super-intelligence. If you want to know what it feels like to be intellectually outclassed by a machine, download the latest Go engine and have fun losing again and again while not understanding why. Now imagine an ASI that isn't confined to the Go board, but operating out in the world. It's doing things you don't like at speeds you can scarcely comprehend and there's not a thing you can do about it.

Mozilla's management and legal has always been amazing when it comes to unforced errors. These changes are actually pretty normal, but they're also worded more scarily by being more encompassing than they need to be. Mozilla has always sucked when it comes to communicating with the outside world.
Of course there is a chance of winning. You just have to sell before the dump. It is similar to tons of gambling games in that respect.
Every Nvidia card has CUDA support from day one, regardless of who the market is for it. I wouldn't much as much if all their slides weren't covered in AI, AI, AI, and it didn't ship with some stupid LLM chatbot to help you tune your GPU.

Been using Skype Manager to handle numbers for a few accounts in our business. I haven't found info if it will be possible to migrate these numbers to Teams. Does anyone have info about this?
It is mostly the same driver on both platforms. In any case, I use Nvidia’s 565.77 driver on Linux with KDE Plasma 6.2 and Wayland. It works well for me on my RTX 3090 Ti.
As others already pointed out, shopping for some types of things like this is just doesn't really work online when you need to feel and judge things with your hands.

I also noticed that lots of online stores have minimum order quantities.
Why not just use something like Google Meet? You send a link and the other person just needs a browser.

It's a pain to deal with syncing issues on Signal Desktop.
I'm starting to suspect my work is incompatible with a full-time academic job
The Firefox feature set is limited compared to other browsers and Mozillas business model is literally hush money payments to keep google out of anti-trust litigation. While I hear you that they are a lesser evil, its part of a greater system that is working against consumers

I'm a fan of Brave and Arc. The LadyBird announcement is great.
As one of the few (only?) HN users who uses Edge, I'll wait until this actually reaches the mainline Edge build. If it even does. And then, I'll evaluate the Manifest V3 compatible ad blockers. And if those are inadequate, I'll switch to another browser. But I'm expecting that, as always, this is largely a nonexistent scenario.
Can you confirm if that was the case at Mozilla? They actively discriminated against hiring gay people? From what I've heard that's not true at all.

I think a closer analogy is no boss or CEO will likely have political views that match my own and I tolerate that and will work for such people.

Google Duo (might be lumped in with Meet now) worked well for me when I was on Android and everyone around be was iOS. It's cross platform and worked out of the box.

Discord probably has a bit more going on since it also has a community focus, but it may be worth looking into since it's a platform that won't be going away anytime soon. It also works from the browser if having them download something is a headache.

Ask HN: How Did You Get Your Startup's First 1k Users?
Hey HN,

Getting those first 1,000 users is always a challenge. Some founders swear by launching on Product Hunt or IndieHackers, while others focus on SEO, content marketing, or just plain hustle—cold outreach, networking, or partnerships.

If you’ve built something, how did you find your early users?

Did SEO, ads, or partnerships work for you?
How did you validate your idea before scaling?
Any unconventional growth hacks that actually made a difference?

Would love to hear real stories and insights from the HN community!
I would make the jump to Signal. It's super easy and secure. Has all the features you'd need (minus the online status). It's how I communicate with my whole family.
I'm not. I'm saying that the critics are hypocrites.
That's an excellent idea, especially if you have aluminized mylar or stainless steel.
Will we ever have communication tools more durable and predictable (with known and managed failure modes and privacy expectations) than paper mail?

Standardised protocol? independent of any single entity or subscription? readable without special technology? universal service infrastructure?
I switched because of this. Day 1 so no opinion yet.
Or equivalently, it vastly underestimates the intelligence of parrots

Joel expressed this concept quite well already 25 years ago:

For background, RFPs are not value neutral. It is not uncommon for customers who have a preferred vendor to shape the RFP to fit in a more natural way to the preferred vendor. To use a simplified example: you want a web server vendor and only IIS and Apache exist. If you have a RFP requirement that the service runs on Linux, then you have a RFP but your requirements have pre-selected the vendor which can achieve the objectives. This is hard to catch from the outside, but focus on ultra specific requirements which seem relatively arbitrary (Linux vs. Windows isn't arbitrary, but the example is super simplified for illustrative purposes).

I am also curious about examples, but as someone from the vendor side, I'll be the first to admit that if the purchasing group has any semblance of intelligence, you can easily hide these biases. The bias only is obvious if you are in the industry and grok the subtle nuances of the capabilities.
The problem with org mode (and magit to a somewhat less degree) is that it is tied to emacs. It will never be adopted by 99% of the developer community (or writing community at large).

I say this as an emacs user who uses org for my company notes.
X is similar now for new accounts now. Except it's not just the timeline content, it is the advertisers too. My active account gets regular advertisers but my inactive one has all X rated and scam advertisements. And tons of "18+" bots that will go around auto-liking people's posts.
What would complete the irony would be Google declaring they are abandoning ads in the age of AI :)

Mr. Musk’s strategy has been twofold. His team grabbed control of the government’s human resources agency, the Office of Personnel Management, commandeering email systems to pressure civil servants to quit so he could cull the work force. And it burrowed into computer systems across the bureaucracy, tracing how money was flowing so the administration could choke it off.
Yeah! Fifty-four forty or fight!

It wouldn't be quite as good as annexing all of Canada, but I think that includes something like 90% of all Canadians.
> I think Microsoft killed it the moment when they made everything move through central servers before everyone had good network connection, everywhere. It was P2P before.

Maybe; I think people forget how horrible Skype was on your phone battery when it was still P2P. The P2P-ness of it was definitely pretty cool, but I'm not sure it was worth the decreased battery.

> It was slow, laggy and unstable for most of the time. Also, they didn't invest in the transportation codecs much.

Honestly I've been using Skype to talk to my parents ever since I moved out of my parents place in 2012, and for the last decade or so, it's been perfectly fine. I know it's kind of a meme to hate on it, but it never really was an issue for me.
Skype’s peer-to-peer architecture seemed like an interesting idea. I mean that’s the sort of thing the internet was supposed to facilitate, distributed communications.

Of course MS screwed it up pretty quickly after buying it, and the name has been a mockery of it’s former potential for much longer than it was an actual thing.

RIP Skype, we never met you.
What are you missing specifically? I’ve been pretty happy with Ghostery and AdGuard Pro.
WhatsApp works well for most people and runs on any device.

I gifted a MacBook, iPhone and Apple Watch to my elderly father, and I now use FaceTime. He came from a PC and is not technical, but he adapted fairly easily. (The fall detection feature on the watch gives us both some peace of mind.)
I was horrified to find Microsoft removed a simple Solitaire with a junk app full of ads (I hadn't looked at Solitaire in years). Perfect example of enshitification.

It did have the benefit of me deciding I'll never purchase another Windows computer ever again and my family just doing physical card games.
Your link literally says the opposite. Sales dropped from 2023 to 2024.
Being able to quickly get a script for some simple automation, defining source and target formats in plain English, has been a huge help. There is simply no way I'm going to remember all that stuff as someone who doesn't program regularly, so the previous way to deal with it was to do it all manually. It was quicker than doing remedial Python just to forget it all again.
Telegram requires permission to view all your contacts on iOS :)

> Most research fails

So long as the research has a conclusion, it's not a failure. We learned something. There may be something to be said for whether or not the research is a worthy topic, but that's a different conversation.
Sorry, but no.
Even if it was an arguably reasonable opinion (It's not), claiming bad faith with those that argue with it is even worse.

That should not be a point of pride. If it was a reasonable opinion, and they didn't just try to paint everyone else as arguing in bad faith, I would agree. We all can differ. Cool.

But if this particular comment is what you think "good discourse" looks like, your standards are way too low.

Looks like on Linux the only GPUs which are currently officially supported are the 7900 series.

https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-windows/en/lat...

On Windows the official support covers most (all?) of the discrete desktop 7000 and 6000 series.
Fundamentally I think having people pay for a browser is a hard sell. I do think complementary services being sold to fund the browser are a good idea though.

E.g. VPN, search, bookmarking service - great. Charge for them, have the money go into browser dev, focus on privacy and be done with it.
Doing big impactful things is hard, of course he’s failed here and there. On balance, it’s made him a billionaire.

His successes minus his failures still far and away surpass your abilities in this area (deal making). Any argument that rests on “Donald Trump is not doing a good job at negotiating here” is suspect by default
