This proves Trump has never run a large enterprise. Imagine the Federal Government were an enterprise, and the States were the departments of that enterprise. What is the most effective way to secure all the departments? Have each department take care of it themselves, with a mishmash of standards, vendors, and an extremely increased attack surface area? Or do it at the enterprise level and benefit from economies of scale, centralized management, and centralized expertise?

I'm sure every single HN reader got this question correct: you secure at the enterprise level. Yet our Chief Executive, the CEO of the United States, got it wrong. That's embarrassing.
> I also can't reason about why people think this is about money rather than building cool shit.

I'm working to make money to pay my mortgage, put food on the table, save for retirement, and build a better life for my small family. That is the motivation that keeps me showing up.

If I want to build cool shit then I'll do it on my own time. Unfortunately, not everyone can build a startup.

“And there’s no reason you have to charge industrial users of water less than residential users if the real price (meaning the cost to replace that water) is higher than the residential price”
…is what I said. You can, of course, charge residential users less for the first 100 or 1000 gallons of monthly use, as is common for utilities in the US.

Good faith engagement on this topic probably requires thinking for 5 seconds if the objection you raised isn’t easily addressed by common methods already.

Additionally, industrial/industrial-scale-agricultural uses of water are almost always more sensitive to water prices. An incredibly poor population would benefit from the tax revenues and jobs offered by companies moving in.

If Apple let the mouse be used when plugged in, everyone would do it immediately and never try using it unplugged cause of their battery anxiety from every other device. Then you try it unplugged and you realized you have to plug it in for like an hour every couple months and it's way better than tethering yourself with a cable.

I've used a Magic Mouse daily for work for years and it's literally never been an issue once.

Show HN: I built a Google Meet addon to fix Chat
Hey HN,

I built GM Pro, a Chrome extension that improves Google Meet’s chat and transcription experience, among other features.

Google Meet works well for video calls, but its chat and transcription features have limitations—messages disappear when you reload, transcriptions only show the last few sentences, and there's no way to react or reply properly. GM Pro fixes this.

Key Features:
Enhanced Chat – Persistent history, message replies, reactions, GIF support.
Transcriptions – Scrollback access, 24-hour persistence, and downloadable logs.
Auto-Open Chat – No more manually opening the chat every meeting.
Dark Mode – Better visibility in low-light settings.
Auto Mute & Camera Control – Start meetings with your mic muted or camera off.
Lobby Notifier – Get a sound alert when someone joins.
Attendee Shuffling – Randomly pick participants for discussions and standups.
GM Pro is designed to seamlessly integrate with Google Meet while staying lightweight and easy to use.

Try It Out
Would love to hear your feedback! You can check it out here:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gm-pro/bfmgohplnhbl...

All you need to do is install the extension, then open a new Google Meet, and you'll see the new chat UI, and you can toggle the features from the extension menu.

What other Google Meet features do you wish existed?
Most of the work of “good” managers is about affecting culture, providing a sustainable work load, emotional intelligence, encouraging team work and sense of shared ownership

> It's pretty easy to avoid HOAs, they have to be disclosed.

This is why I always cringe when my neighbors on social media bitch about HOA. It just floors me that there are people who simply do not read HOA covenants before they buy their homes.
Though it is a good piece of news (and those are not that common nowadays), some caution about the political context is warranted here.

The National Assembly is very divided a the moment, and the Minister defending the backdoor amendment is from a minority party at the AN, that just happens to have majority in the other chamber.

Also, he is preparing for a presidential bid, and has a fair share of ennemies, both in and out of his party.

So, all in all, it was a relatively "cheap" move from the MP who voted against it :

- it's screwing up with a powerful opponent

- it's easy publicity given that "spyping in whatsapp" would made bad headlines

- there has not been a massive terrorist attack recently, so the measure will not look urgent.

I'm pretty sure that some of those MPs, asked to vote the same thing by a president of their party, after a terror attack, would vote for the backdoor.
The AI part seems to be part of the OCR algorithm. OCR has been using AI techniques for ages, so there's nothing new here, other than that this project is making good progress the more valid data they can decode with help of this, the more training data they have and the better subsequent OCR will be able to process near illegible tablets.

RDP is based on Citrix ICA which builds on Citrix Multiuser released in 1991 for OS/2, and 1992 for DOS, 1993 for Windows.

The Citrix/Microsoft relationship is a bonkers story. The world didn't yet know that licensing your tech to Microsoft meant you were going to grab your ankles.
You’re getting downvoted, it seems, but you raise a very real point: you need to have a high turnover, or rough span of control ratios, in order for this to be a common interrupt.

Especially given it’s well known that people don’t leave companies, they leave bad managers… it’s a bit telling.

Anecdotally: I spent 6-7 years managing at various levels (manger/sr mgr/director) before going back to an IC role, and I had a single regrettable attrition (+2 non-regrettable) in that time.

name correctly (Ni-klows Virt), Americans invariably mangle it into
(Nick-les Worth). Which is to say that Europeans call him by name,
but Americans call him by value.

Sounds like it's not your Rust project.

But cmake is required by Rustls (or more precisely, aws-lc-rs).
Some of this comes from watching Bluey in a literal fever binge and believing I wrote a PhD dissertation on the show because it touched so many half-forgotten things from my Masters Degree's "individual studies": I think an interesting thing to Bluey is that it is not just a "show about nothing". It's not just the daily lives and family dynamics, it actually has a central point embedded in even the studio name (Ludo Studios), which is the importance of play and games (Ludo relates to the latin for play from which we also get modern fancy terms like ludology, the study of games, and ludonarrative dissonance, the difference between what a game's story is trying to tell and what its mechanics and play style is telling), not just for fun (but also for fun), but in learning good conflict resolution and safely exploring your identity and your relationships with others and things you might want to be or grow up to do and understanding complex systems by analyzing their rulesets and playstyles and more.

There's always at least one game in every episode. It hit me early in my fever dream of a binge watch: even the intro is itself a game. One of the many simple "freeze"/"simon says"/"red light/green light"/"musical chairs" variants (the show calls it "statues" in one episode), dance while the music plays and freeze when the music stops and if you move while you are supposed to be frozen you lose. (I cheered loudly at the first episode where Bluey doesn't win the intro game. It was a lovely reward for never skipping the intro.)

There's so many good lessons about games as a lifelong tool scattered across nearly every episode, as a part of what makes the family dynamics so bright and exciting.

This is a great way to learn why libraries and tools like compilers are the way they are.

I practiced this in the late 90s by making my own 3D maths library and my own “standard” library.

I ended up using the built-in 3D maths in DirectX and the C++ STL in the commercial game engine code I worked on later. But having practiced on my own libraries helped me understand the standard ones a lot better.
There is also the first object in space. But this was arguably no commercial launch.

Apple doesn't fix bugs†, they just eventually replace the feature or ship a different way of doing the same thing, whose bugs hopefully don't overlap those of the first feature.

We're on Sequoia 15.3.2 now and the keyboard shortcuts of the big new window tiling feature still don't work on non-Apple keyboards (or Apple keyboards, if you happen to have remapped the globe key to something else, like Caps Lock).

Fun fact: the words Ordinal and Cardinal respectively derives from Ordering and Counting.

So Ordinal quantities represent the ordering of coordinates and can be negative, while Cardinal quantities describes the counting of magnitudes and must be positive.

You can transform between ordinal domains and cardinal domains via the logarithm/exponential function, where cardinal domains have a well-defined “absolute zero” while ordinal domains are translation-invariant.

I don't think this is matter of national culture. I think this is part of humanity - just exists humans-entrepreneurs, who trying to make things which other people thinking impossible.

And unfortunately, human view is a brake, in most cases, people not only avoid to see obvious things, but tend to make powerful resistance to new things.

For example, Dropbox, now all thinking it is obvious, but at beginning all investors avoid to talk about it, and creators need some way to broke this wall.

They created fake video, how somebody would copy files between all his devices, and gathered emails of people who want to become first users of this technology. And gathered some huge number of registrations, and after this one VC fund agreed to give them money for prototype.

So this is part of startup culture, named "make it - fake it". It need to support people, who have really cool ideas and agree to sacrifice their life to work on idea and for future earns if this idea will win.

And yes, I have so large number of talks with such people, I could definitely say - they usually so unusual that typical person think them just crazy and sure will not invest in them money, and this is really Great problem.

Fortunately, US partially resolved this problem, created places with very special culture, where non-standard people could flourish, but in Europe/Britain, things are not so good, and that's why Europe lags behind progress.

Examples of startup friendly places are California and Texas. And BTW, they are very different, for example you could see TV series "Halt and Catch Fire (2017)". I have spent very pleasant time with first season, but you could try to see all seasons, may be you will see something what I have not catch.

BTW you could read history of Osborne company on wiki, but better if you'll read after TV series, as there are some important clues to understand.
As far as Dijkstra and Huygens go, those are somewhat common last names where I live in Iowa, so their pronunciations have surely been Americanized a long time ago. I'd pronounce them as "deekstra"/"dikestra" and "hi-ginz," and that's how the people I know with those names pronounce them.

The place was originally selected because of the combination of several factors:

- Closeness to the equator.

- Ease of access by rail.

- Lack of populated/foreign areas at the path of falling booster stages.

- Relative closeness to production centers.

- Far enough from borders and small population around the site to make spying harder (remember that in the early days it was also an ICBM launch site).

Other central Asian Soviet republics were farther south, but much worse on the other factors.

Russia simply continues to use it because of the existing infrastructure and tries to gradually move its civilian space program to the new Vostochny Cosmodrome.

I think like so many things the idea of 'patent trolls' has taken on a meaning whereby anyone who has a patent but no operating actual company (as you are describing LLC with 5 members and a lawyer) everyone automatically thinks 'sham'.

On the surface by stories related that certainly appears to be the case.

However we don't have any data (only anecdotes) on how many patents are pursued this way that are actually valid. And 'back in the old days' it used to be that you could have an actual patent and then get shafted by some large corporation simply because they could afford lawyers and you couldn't (meaning 'mr small inventor')

What I am saying in no way means I don't think there is probably abuse (there are enough anecdotes to think 'something is wrong here') but really we need the entire picture and dataset to decide that (in all fairness).
I feel like hardly anyone in Germany knows how to pronounce Azure (myself included for the longest time). There are no other common words like it, and what feels like the most obvious pronunciation is far from the correct one.
Those are interesting mythologies, akin to an invisible guy in outer space making a man out of a twig and 2 dingleberries, but does it really have anything to do with where early american people actually came from?

After a couple of genrations, I'm sure early american's had lost cultural knowledge of how exactly they came to be in the americas. After a couple of centuries, for sure all of this info was gone.

Another example of this might be the early viking habitation in north america, which was totally forgotten before other europeans arrived 500 years later...
It sounds like a strange combination of difficult conditions and small mistakes that unfortunately were just enough to tip the scales into disaster, but then, miraculously, everything went right and nobody died, although a few were seriously hurt.

So what? Why should that bother Apple so much? They sold the mouse. Who cares how the user uses it? A user who chooses to use their mouse while plugged in does not in any way affect the mouse's manufacturer. My Apple keyboard lets me use it while it's plugged in, and the world hasn't ended. Why didn't they put the charger on the bottom of the keyboard too? Why don't they make their phones so you can't use them while charging?
