People discuss lots of things, without those discussions being significant influences on policy.

Avoiding mosquito “genocide” has not been a signficant source of policy restraint on eradication efforts, a fact that many of those “discussions” you cite bemoan, but have had no substantial effect in changing.

Where I am in the suburbs, all the dogs know each other, because most of them are on invisible fence lots and they all visit every other dog when on a walk. And it's common for the owner to come out and say hi, too. That being said, I know some of my neighbors by their dog's name ("That's Taj's dad").
This is contrast to the pyrolysis-based "chemical recycling of plastics" which makes a mix of petrochemicals similar to what you find in the BTX stage of a petrochemical factories [1], especially for condensation polymers like PET. That is, this process produces fairly pure Terephthalic acid [2] and Acetaldehyde [3] and the first of those could be recycled into more PET.

The thing is BTX chemicals and other precursors of mass produced plastics cost about 50 cents a pound which makes it hard for any kind of recycling process to be competitive.

The second result is this reddit.com answer, https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/32m611/logic_question..., where at least the numbers make sense. I haven't examined the logic portion of the answer.

Bing doesn't list any reddit posts (that Google-exclusive deal) so I'll assume no stackexchange-related sites have an appropriate answer (or bing is only looking for hat-related answers for some reason).

Prompt:
You are standing in a circle, there are 2 other people in the circle with you, everyone in the circle, has a positive integer above their head, no one knows what the number above their own head is but can see the numbers above the heads of the other people. You see that the person infront of you on the left has 26 above their head. The person on the right has 39 above their head. You are told that the sum of two of the numbers is the third number. You are asked what the number above your head is, the option is the sum, 65, or 13, as 26 + 13 = 39. You don't know which one it is, and you say so. The second person is asked the number above their head. They also say they dont know, the third person also says they dont know. What is your number?

Show HN: ʻŌlelo Honua – Simplify Your Internationalization Workflow
I’m happy to introduce a new landing page for ʻŌlelo Honua, a tool created to simplify the internationalization (i18n) process for multilingual websites and applications. If managing translation files manually or dealing with cumbersome i18n workflows has ever been a challenge for you, this might be the solution you're looking for.

Since sharing an earlier alpha version of this project, a lot has changed! You can find a link to my original "Show HN" post in the comments.

What is ʻŌlelo Honua?

ʻŌlelo Honua, which means "World Language" or "Language Bridge" in Hawaiian, is designed to automate and streamline the creation and synchronization of translation files. By leveraging trusted providers like OpenRouter, Google Translate, along with new models like DeepSeek, it offers LLM-accelerated translations and even generates critiques to enable devs or translators to perform basic sanity checks. And best of all, my aim for this is to remain a free or low cost service.

Key Features:

- Automated Translation File Management: Quickly generate translations without the hassle of manual copy-pasting.
- AI-Powered Critiques: Refine translations for clarity and accuracy with optional AI-driven feedback.
- Provider Flexibility: Integrates with multiple translation providers, including free options via OpenRouter (DeepSeek).
- Caching: Avoid API limits with built-in local caching.

Why I Built This:

As a developer, I found managing translation files for multilingual apps tedious and prone to errors. Existing tools didn’t fully address these challenges, so I created ʻŌlelo Honua to streamline the process and make it more reliable. My goal was to provide a free solution that enables developers to implement i18n quickly, as I’ve personally seen it overlooked due to concerns about maintainability and effort.

Additional Thoughts:

This project is still a work in progress, but I’m passionate about its continued development and things are moving quickly! I’d love to hear your feedback, and I’m actively looking for contributors (developers) and collaborators (editors, translators) to join me on this journey. Please reach out if interested!
Its roughly a 2x2 block area of The Mission (not a hard boundary to participating, but almost everyone lives in it). I won't get more specific than that in case the author doesn't feel comfortable since it wasn't mentioned in her post.
Yeah the funding part is a whole different discussion which also gets dirty pretty quickly (IMHO). And yeah stuff like loops as a side project does not make anything better. One badly maintained PHP project should be enough already
This is great because it helps with understanding why for some long-standing projects it may not be feasible to incrementally change toward new API. And, it can be worth considering pioneering new breaking change versions that would bring new capabilities into being.

That's within the range of a kitchen oven. The biggest problem is that plastic is so cheap that even that relatively modest energy use may make it uneconomic compared to virgin TPA, especially if you have to clean the inputs thoroughly first.

I think he has a lot of confusion to answer for. We've been focused on inner experience of people and animals, and in the spirit of utilitarianism, trying to micromanage our effects on all those unknown experiences on the basis that it's bad if suffering is happening. But maybe this is wrong-headed.

Maybe "suffering" isn't even a thing, and the moral issue, the badness, is tied to ideas, knowledge, relationships, society, things like that. I'm being very vague because this is a half-formed idea. People are likely to come back with what about babies, or those with locked-in syndrome, or out-groups, or I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream?

But I just think the focus on suffering, and experiences, and qualia, as a moral criterion, is a road to nowhere. Maybe those things aren't definable or meaningful except in the context of ideas (etc., as above). The wrangling, about what is or isn't having a morally significant experience, is an unresolved fudge that we live with and function under. I mean such is life, but it would be nice to find a way to escape from under some of life's fudge.

Glad I could be helpful. It's good to empower people to solve their own problems and keep things working instead of replacing at the first sign of trouble. Always be open to opening up an appliance and looking for a service manual, they're often zip tied somewhere in there.

> They even used PRs for actual changes proposed by the parties in the parliament. Also, the commits have their proper date, so you can `git blame` on the laws and even see which president signed-off that change.

This is something I'm very interested in for a different use case: model legislatures. The infrastructure and tooling for model congresses and parliaments is very limited: largely relegated to wikis and Google Docs. And that's fine, but it becomes a problem long term with tracking and archival.

We had a situation where our model parliament did not own the Google Doc for a particular treaty with another model legislature. It was changed out from under us, which is not ideal. But that brings into question ownership of Google Docs, and what happens if that person withdraws from the game.

Another issue is respecting and maintaining the creativity of those who play. People put a lot of effort into their bills with the fonts, formatting, layout, and imagery they use. It would be a shame to erase all that effort by converting it a bland wall of text a la markdown.

Markdown also has its issues: if the legislature removes an entry of an ordered list, how do you prevent markdown from renumbering the list? And the ways around this involve extending markdown, or using plaintext (eg: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt)

Another solution could be QuillJS (https://quilljs.com/), which serialises into a JSON array of Deltas. However, this would make any kind of git-diff difficult to read. You'd need a custom differ, which is not impossible, but that may be a lot of work and may not be supported on git sites like Github.

Another issue is that, if you're using commits-as-enactments, then that probably means using the commit message (or notes) for the enactment's text. To what extent is that supported? As in, how long can commit messages be before it starts wreaking havoc on git clients? Will my Github tab or GitKraken client crash if I view the commit history? Could the commit message itself contain a serialised QuillJS document? What if that document contained a base64-encoded image?
As a user, images feel slightly slower but comparable to the previous generation. Given the significant quality improvement, it's a fair trade-off. Overall, it feels snappy, and the value justifies a higher price.

Science includes activities outside reading papers that slightly disagree, such as testing hypotheses with experiments; hence my comment that the former isn't science in a nutshell. It describes research quite well, which one can argue is a subset of scientific activity.

It's interesting how different people can be, and what energizes us. The coffee on the stoop seems incredibly nice, and I love that they acknowledge that the simplest events are some of the best ones. Once they start taking about "watch parties" and potlucks I personally check out completely, that's way too much for me. The less official stuff sound really great though, just sitting down for one cup of coffees time, or just a beer or two at the end of the week.
I am definitely and odd one out here.

I have never ever paid for any TV service. Never had netflix, sky or any other advertising service.

I have not watched Over The Air TV for over 25 years. Its never appealed to me.

Thats probably saved me about £2,500 on TV licences.

Maybe its just a generational thing, but I never saw any benefits, or sense, in paying to brainwash my family watching banal TV shows and films.

There is so much more to enjoy in life rather tha staring at an advertising, brainwashing box.

In my practice as a psychotherapist I have seen far to many people over identify with soap opera characters and TV characters in general. People just cannot understand that the characters in soap operas are played by actors who are real people.

Agreed. It seems totally unnatural that a couple of nerds high-five awkwardly.
Our entire civilization has always rested on a tacit "it's nice to have civilization, so we play by the rules" by everybody involved. Voluntary restraint is what keeps us from being animals, not nature or laws.

As Hobbes wrote so eloquently, we keep that compact because the alternative is "continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short"

We're currently exploring how many of those rules are really necessary, and, as a society, have decided to mostly shrug off that exploration.

That is the part that's changed. A willingness to ignore the rules by some, and a collective shrug by most.

> Back when Tesla was the only long-range EV you could buy, well, Tesla pretty much had the market cornered. Now, with other manufacturers offering long range EVs, Tesla just isn't standing up to the competition

There's also more competition than just other long range EVs. I plan on getting a new car sometime in the next year or two and had been planning on an EV. But lately I've been thinking that a PHEV might be the right approach.

In the last 10 years I think that there are only 3 days on which I drove more than 40 miles, and only 1 day where I was away from home overnight. If I had a car with a lower energy cost per mile than my current car (a 2006 Honda CR-V) I would probably drive more than I do now, but still would be under 40 miles most days.

A PHEV with a 40+ mile range on battery would be on battery most of the time for me. It would only need to use the ICE on the occasional long trip plus whenever its software decided to use it to keep it in good condition (ICE engines need to run occasionally to remain in good share).

It would in effect be an EV for me most of the time. And on the occasional long trip it would be more convenient than an EV due to gas stations being more widely available and faster than EV charging stations while still being economical.

I'm not really sure I like SSO and I'm not convinced we should expand this technology. I'm not a security person but most of my concerns aren't actually security either.

My big concern is how we centralize accounts. Not just data access, but like how EVERYTHING is tied to your email. Lose access? You're fucked. Worse, it's very very hard to get support. I'm sure everyone here is well aware of the many horror stories.

Personally I had a bit of a scare when I switched from Android to iPhone. My first iPhone needed to be replaced within 2 weeks and I hadn't gotten everything covered over and not all my 2FAs had transferred to the new phone. Several had to be reset because adding a new 2FA OTP voided the old ones. And since for some reason bitwarden hasn't synched all my notes I had to completely fall back on a few. Which made me glad I didn't force 2FA on all accounts (this is a big fail!!!)

Or even this week, Bitwarden failed on me to provide security keys to sites. The popup would appear but the site had already processed the rejection. Took a few restarts before it was fixed.

The problem I'm seeing here is if we become so dependent on single accounts then this creates a bigger problem than the illness we're trying to solve. While 90% of the time things are better when things go wrong they go nuclear! That's worse!

Yeah, I know with SSO you don't have to use Google/Apple and you can be your own authority. But most people aren't going to do that. Hell, many sites don't even offer anything except Google and Apple! So really we're just setting up a ticking time bomb. It'll be fine for 99% of people 99% of the time, but for the other cases we're making things catastrophic. There's billions of people online so even 1% is a huge number.

Even worse, do we trust these companies will always be around? In your country? To give you proper notice? Do you think you'll even remember everything you need to change? These decisions can be made for you. Even Google accidentally deletes accounts.

So what I really want to see is a system that is more distributed. In the way that we have multiple secure entries. Most methods today are in the form of add 2FA of their choosing and suggest turning off fallback, which is more secure but can fuck you over if it fails. So if we go SSO then this shouldn't replace keys, like the article suggests. Keys are a backup. There should be more too! But then you need to make people occasionally use them to make sure they have that backup. And yes, I understand the more doors there are the bigger attack surface but literally I'm just arguing to not put all our eggs in one basket
Yes, this is a crucial distinction to make. The fact of the matter is that you have to treat GitHub Actions like a compromised system. Sure, there's not a ton of steps you can take for protecting builds if it's your primary builder, but you can for example not hook up an AWS account with full admin privileges to it (which I've seen more times than I would have like to).

Summary.

If you’re launching a business, the odds are against you: Two-thirds of start-ups never show a positive return. Unnerved by that statistic, a professor of entrepreneurship at Harvard Business School set out to discover why. Based on interviews and surveys with hundreds of founders and investors and scores of accounts of entrepreneurial setbacks, his findings buck the conventional wisdom that the cause of start-up failure is either the founding team or the business idea. The author found six patterns that doomed ventures. Two were especially common:

Bad bedfellows.

Other parties besides the founders—like employees, strategic partners, and investors—can play a major role in a firm’s demise. Quincy Apparel, for instance, was undone by weak support from its investors and factory partners and inflexible employees.

False starts.

Many overlook a crucial step in the lean start-up process: researching customer needs before testing products. Like Triangulate, an online dating start-up, they keep rushing to launch fully functional offerings that don’t fit any market needs. The good news is, firms can avoid that pitfall by rigorously defining the problem they want to solve, getting one-on-one feedback from potential customers, and validating concepts with real customers in real-world settings.
