Why is over diagnosis a problem? Sure some things have minor negative effects like radiation exposure. But still I think people should be able to elect whatever diagnosis they want if they can pay. It’s their body and there is also a lot of under diagnosis in the industry, especially from doctors who don’t listen to patients or don’t have time to deeply understand each case. The patient should have control. There is no reason doctors have to make it so hard to get broad blood panels and things like that, for example.

And from the study’s conclusion:

> These data demonstrate a need for stronger regulation of misleading medical information on social media.

Absolutely not. Free speech is more important. And experts can be wrong, especially when they have bad incentives. In this case the authors are part of groups in Australia that promote overdiagnosis as a problem. And Australia is unfortunately a censorship addicted country at the moment.
Do Substack writers follow trends for monetization and write about DST in March? (A bit like YouTube tech reviewers having to talk about new iPhones everytime a new one comes out, gotta chase that ad money, like and subscribe!). This article is yet another discussion about DST, yet another place for people to say how much they hate it, etc etc.
I figued this was coming when I paid more for the outgoing 2020 GTI instead of the 2021.. but I didn't think it would take 5 years. Nice to see them acknowledge that they made a mistake.
You seem to be misunderstanding censorship resistance. It means that no government can block or stop a crypto transaction the way they can credit card and bank transactions, and has nothing to do with FIAT on/offramps at CEXs, nor with the traceability of past transactions that were made successfully.
Rust would be an option as well
I mean in theory this is absolutely correct and everyone everywhere will follow due process and the data will only become available at the individual level when a court affirms it is appropriate.

As long as due process and checks and balances are respected, there's absolutely nothing to worry about lmfao.
Pratchett's series of books are the only ones I've reread more than half a dozen times, in some cases. Love his work.

Which Fits You?
For simplicity: Use server logs + GoAccess (no code changes).
For insights: Self-host Matomo (privacy-first).
For a retro feel: Client-side counter (least reliable but fun).
I agree with you. Of all the remedies to address Google's "monopoly" this seems to the most bizarre.

My question is if Google has to divest from Chrome, would they be able to build a new web browser? In the article it said that they'd need approval for any new joint venture, collaboration, or partnership with any company that competes with Google in search or in search text ads.

It makes no mention of web browsers.
It absolutely would have been cheaper! But cheaper or not, target still should have. There's no ethical reason for a large corporate website to be inaccessible.
Sundered has a lot of other connotations too.

For example: a person might be sundered. That is not quite the same as shivered or shattered. However I will grant that: alliteratively, they all fall within the same vein.

Words like these is why poetry are possible or even viable. (Soz).
Monarchy does not prevent enslavement. In fact, serfdom is a relatively common feature of monarchy. That’s what those two things have to do with each other.
Honestly, just keep your code layered and use single responsibility principle.

Every function should do only ONE thing. Use layers to separate concerns, and again, each function in each layer should do ONE thing.

After that, go wild.
Chrome is so user hostile and entrapping I don’t know why anyone uses it. It should absolutely be separated and spun off to live on its own and make its own profit.
> it's made a bit moot by the big players (evidently, Mozilla included) making bad decisions in spite of (or because of?) their size.

True—I'm more counting on big players moving slowly and with lots of eyes on them. Mozilla's descent has been one that I've been following for years now, and I don't expect to be surprised by a sudden rug pull the way that a smaller player can do.
For me, at best it is a useless rhing that is only used for speculation. At worst, it is a scammers dream.
I seem to be rambling. I will add, particularly to clarify my third paragraph (the big one): a library should not panic. It can have defensive panics, but overall it should not panic, and triggering a defensive panic is to be treated as a bug. The exception is the panics that the application developer can reasonably be considered to have agreed to, and presumably the library should take care to make those panics as easy to handle as possible.
That's the real readiness test for these agents.
It'd be ironic if Google had to sell Chrome to Microsoft due to monopoly reasons.
Unironically, the world be better off if the "advancement" in the space of web browsers comes to an end. This ever-expanding scope of what a web browser is "supposed" to do and be is good for no one. When it's finite, it's much easier to build a new browser engine from scratch. Which is something we should be doing much more as a society. To that end, I'm really excited about Ladybird.

So, like, let's pick a set of criteria where web standards are considered complete, and move towards that. And when we do reach it, just stop.
Nobody was saying this prior to the Foundation TV series coming out. It seems like marketing wanted to drum up some controversy for their series because the allegations would have required evidence from 40 years prior. Maybe it happened, maybe it didn’t, but definitively saying so either way makes it seem like you have an agenda.

> This news is controversial, however, as the Tesla truck has only just recently earned a five-star rating from America’s traffic authority, NHTSA

Was the rating given by Musk? Sounds like it's how it's working in the US these days.
I think you’d have had zero problems having engineers on the GS scale prior to November 6th, 2024. No, they wouldn’t get rich but it’s a space full of interesting technical and usability challenges and you’d be able to work on incredibly high-impact open source projects. Like if you simply make it easier for someone older/disabled/etc. to fill out forms, make good security decisions, find information, etc. literally millions of people benefit from that a couple of weeks later.

It’d be neat if the EU picked up the torch here but with any government it seems like it’d be better to have a non-profit get a block grant so you avoid things like those salary issues or other challenges: for example, if the EU decided they didn’t want to depend on the U.S. for critical infrastructure, funding a back-to-its-roots Mozilla.org would make it easier for, say, Canada or India to join in without the issues you’d have trying to directly pay government employee salaries.

A master password (e.g. to access a password manager) needs to be both remembered and stored somewhere (ie the password manager, not your brain). A secret heuristic doesn't and so is more secure by simply not also being stored somewhere outside your brain.
> It's driver aid features also get easily tricked leading to random steering corrections and slamming on the brakes.

I have the opposite experience. My friends Teslas blow me away with their drivers assistance stuff. But the German and Japanese cars I’ve driven - absolute garbage, bordering on deadly. Random braking, not braking even with traffic stopped in front, aggressive collision prevention in places like parking lots, suddenly losing recognition of lanes, and other things. I believe these companies outsource the high tech stuff - not sure to whom - but I suspect they aren’t a tech company.

Trump released a statement on Truth Social saying: “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests.”

What is an "illegal protest"? Do we have a 1st amendment or not? JD Vance went to Europe and chided them for not allowing free speech.

This is not about antisemitism at all, this is after all an antisemitic president [1], this is about political payback for those who didn't support him.

Many schools have paused hiring and reduced the number of doctoral students admitted in response to the financial uncertainty.

I don't know what you are on about but I put it down to being unfamiliar with the car.
I've driven a Tesla model 3 for 3 years and the context sensitive buttons in the steering wheel are too notch.
Want to change the windscreen wiper speed, press button on the left lever, roll the wheel.
I have driven Hyundai, BYD, Nissan, Toyota and Xpeng cars recently, all new models and all have buttons and dials overload all dialled to the 'auto' setting. What's the point.
I'm all for sensible buttons but they need to work within the car over all UI.
A Toyota Corolla has 10! Buttons in each side of the steering wheel. I need to take my eyes of the road to get the right one.

The one thing that I think should be improved in all cars is that I want to use the AC auto settings but still have the air come out of the bottom vents and not into my face only.
Kagi has its “web” search, but you can switch to “small web” and get results like this. Or the “forums” lens if looking for user generated content.
if you can’t prove there’s something there then there’s not. Proof can come in any form, revenue, daily active users, upvotes on show HN but you need some sort of accountability to combat founder delusion which is the default, and on top of that, your metric needs to accelerate fast enough to keep you alive

I think you missed my point. Your ISP already has your traffic, and is just as easy to compel as NextDNS. No one is going to NextDNS for your traffic, and even if they do, NextDNS doesn't have any information your ISP doesn't already have.
As a note of interest "Gonne" has been in use in recent times in the Discworld series:

With almost supernatural power, the Gonne can possess the mind of the man who uses it. It shows him the power he has in his hands, and erases all scruples by telling him what could be achieved with this power.

> What do you do for discovery?

Walk into a library or bookstore. Pick up something that looks interesting (LITERALLY judge a book by its cover for this) and start reading right then and there. If the book doesn't capture your interest immediately, maybe skim a little bit, or just move on to the next book. Also, ask trusted friends that know you well for suggestions.

You have to first know what your own particular tastes are, and afterwards, do the harder steps of understanding why you like what you like, and expanding your horizons. Once you get to the point where you both know what you like and start to know why you like it, discovery just solves itself. Eventually, you'll be able to tune into any random discussion about a book or author, and discern from context whether or not the works in question are for you, even if you don't share the opinions of those you're listening to.
There's a lot of Python users so this type of content will be hated. But of course it's right. I would reach for C# every single time on every single project. Java is never a mistake either. You should use industrial strength languages on industrial strength platforms with industrial strength tooling. It makes no sense not to use something intended to grow to 1MLOC+. Even if you're working on a project you don't intend to grow, as it often turns out otherwise.
More non-political solutions for political problems.
I would be shocked if ID4 had comparable driver assistance features. Even Audis are pretty shaky and unreliable. Tesla’s seem to be a few generations ahead
Your web host should provide some options such as AWstats based on the server logs. Your host may or may not make it easy to install something else.

Is crypto a scam? It basically works as advertised, so technically it's not a scam.

But the real question to consider is whether society is better off with crypto. Using cost-benefit analysis, we can draw up a simple balance sheet showing the positive benefits and the negative externalities:

POSITIVE SOCIAL BENEFITS

1. Money can be transferred from one person to another without intermediaries such as banks.

2. It provides an alternative to hyper-inflating currencies in places like Venezuela.

NEGATIVE SOCIAL COSTS

1. Data centers waste enormous amounts of energy mining crypto.

2. Crypto facilitates useless financial speculation and criminal activity, e.g., ransomware payments, illicit commerce, etc.

In the final analysis, the benefits are rather small, whereas the costs are significant and will continue to grow as the crypto industry expands.
That was the spirit of the question, failing is good because it means we are trying :) Failure is part of the process to success (whatever success means to you)
there is no strategy. i see a job that is not limited to US only, that fits my qualifications and i apply. if there is a question about salary, i try to guess what i should put there. i am afraid if i don't put enough it is also a negative selection criteria. so that is what i am trying to figure out now. for jobs that don't even ask for a salary it's a moot point.

I don't have to learn/concern myself with German employment laws

if you don't have a subsidiary in the EU or some kind of employer of record through which you hire someone one from the EU, then the employment laws would not be relevant to you. it would just be a contractor relationship.

why would I bother hiring from another country unless it saves me money?

good point. definitely something to consider. thank you.

I'd argue it's noob to use Python for anything other than where it has actual strengths like data science. Even AI can't help Python performance issues, you're stuck. AI can help verify C code, for example, is memory safe. There's just nothing you can do to fix Python's biggest problems. Wrong tool for the job.
> The fact that they're working so hard to keep it tells me it's an even better idea to make them sell it.

If your goal is nothing deeper than to hurt Google, sure. Otherwise, this logic is far from complete.
No, I don't think Linn, as I would have actually heard of them.

But if you told me the actual name, I really would not recognise it - so long ago.
Until the passkey workflow goes sideways for "tech" people I don't think the risks will be acknowledged (if then even).

Those of us who don't want the let Google, Apple, or Microsoft manage our passkeys (i.e. pledging our fealty to our lords) will be seen as fringe lunatics.

I'll keep my workflow of always visiting sites by typing the URL myself, using a password manager, and TOTP 2FA w/ the secrets saved offline on paper. At least until I'm not allowed to do that anymore.
Which is ironic because this judgement will destroy Firefox (if Firefox doesn't destroy itself, anyway), and probably Chrome, and leave Edge as basically the only mainstream web browser with a "monopoly". The more things change...
Unfortunately I need Linux and Android (and ideally Windows too) before I can make the switch. Sounds like Linux may be on the table for March of next year [0], but that's only half the story for me (unless there's a good way to tab sync to mobile Firefox?).

I think there is a good chance that this design is more suitable for power uses.

My hunch is that typing 5 words could be faster than going through 3 menus and screens. I don't see this as a replacement for normal UI, but as an optional shortcut - if you're happy typing.
Who is bashing China here ? You misunderstood my point

Chinese tech giants like Alibaba or Tencent or Baidu are just as good as western ones .

Their inability to go global has little do with just their technical ability to build products.

It is about whether other countries will be comfortable having what they perceive as CCP control in their markets particularly when their(ie foreign )companies do not have a level playing field in China

It is relatively easy for a country to ban a Chinese tech company or EV maker (1)because China doesn’t buy much or allow foreign companies to thrive to retaliate .

America being the biggest market and importer is the contributor to their soft power. This is what Trump is (ab)using today.

The tariffs that Trump announced recently on China is not getting a lot of attention as North American ones. The last trump administration also slapped some tariffs (not reversed by Biden) while few industries felt the pain of the reciprocal tariffs most of American industry did and will do just fine because America does not export as much to China, the people pay more of course and suffer inflation, but industry will come out broadly fine on Chinese tariffs. It is different for North America particularly Mexico due to deep integrated supply chain.

Western markets is most important not because of social cultural norms it is because it is the wealthiest today. Perhaps the global south will restore the balance this century but for next few decades that is the reality whether we like it not .

PS. My background as an Indian (or India’s complicated relationship with China) has little do with merits of this discussion, the world is not just bipolar, I am well aware that our media is just as propagandized as American or Chinese ones for that matter, but that is whole different topic .

(1) unless the country are not dependent on Chinese loans or on raw material export to China which is most of western / wealthier market

Is money a scam? Not in itself, but you don’t have to go very far to find a scam that involves money. Similarly, it’s hard to answer your question if you consider “crypto” to be a general concept, unless you properly and narrowly define it as something specific first.
The gap between the Windows and GTK ports is shrinking. Every JIT tier has been enabled for JSC on Windows[1], and libpas (the custom memory allocator) should get enabled soon.

The Windows port is moving from Cairo to Skia soon as well, matching the GTK port (though I think the focus is enabling the CPU renderer to start).

Webkit's CI (EWS) is running the layout tests on Windows, and running more tests on Windows is mostly a matter of funding the hardware.

There's a few things still disabled on the Windows port, some rough edges, and not a lot of production use (Bun and Playwright are the main users). It'd definitely be more work than Linux, but it's not as bad as you'd think.

Totally fair point. Thanks for taking the time to read through it! I guess I didn't want to use a VPS and then have to switch to something else if the product really worked, but I guess that rhymes with premature optimization.

Some other clarifications:

- I was also surprised with how expensive Supabase turned out to be and only got there because I was trying to sync very big repos ahead of time. I could see an alternative product where the cost here would be minimal too

- I did see this project as an opportunity to try out Cloudflare. as mentioned in the post, as a full stack TypeScript developer, I thought Cloudflare could be a good fit and I still really want it to succeed as a cloud platform

- deploying two separate API server and auth server is actually simpler than it sounds, since each is a Cloudflare Worker! will try to open source this project so this is clearer

- the durable objects rate limiter was wholly experimental and didn't make it into production

> All that being said though, maybe all it would've done is prolong the inevitable death due to the product gap the author concludes with.

Very true :(
What knock on effects do you see here, for state-led legislation about online privacy? Do we see privacy-conscious vs restrictive US states, and do folks in the (let’s say it, blue) states host US-centric Mullvads? Like out of state abortions.

Going further, how might this effect folks having “freedom is more important than safety” beliefs, given they reside in areas more likely to deny civil liberties-ish rights in the name of family values-ish rights, when this starts to really hit them where it hurts? Everything they do or say online becomes traceable to them, for a notoriously vocal-on-social media set.

>In the November 1948 issue, Campbell published a letter to the editor by a reader named Richard A. Hoen that contained a detailed ranking of the contents of an issue "one year in the future". Campbell went along with the joke and contracted stories from most of the authors mentioned in the letter that would follow the Hoen's imaginary story titles. One of the best-known stories from that issue is "Gulf", by Heinlein.
