Yes. It's because the Messages UI conflates iMessage groups (blue bubbles) with SMS/MMS/RCS groups (green bubbles), combined with the fact that you can iMessage an Apple user using either their phone number or any email address they have enabled for iMessaging.

So say you start a group message to Apple users. You add type their names and don't pay attention to whether Messages is using their phone number or email address to add them to the group. (Even worse, after you're done typing their name, Messages only shows the name so you can't even tell how they've been added w/o taping their name again.)

Now, when it's an iMessage group (blue bubbles), it doesn't matter how you added them.

But as soon as you add a non-Apple user, it becomes an SMS/MMS/RCS group (green bubbles).

Guess what happens to the Apple users who were added by email address? That's right, they get emails.

There's no indication whatsoever to anyone in the group that this is happening. And as a member of the group, you can't fix how you were added. The message group has to be abandoned and a new group needs to be created using only phone numbers.

It's a terrible UI. I've been dealing with it for years because originally I used Google Voice and there's both Apple and Android users in my extended family. But even after I finally ported my number over to my phone, my extended family still sometimes adds me to SMS/MMS/RCS groups using my email address.

(Why don't we just use WhatsApp you ask? Oh, we use that too. With varying degrees of technical literacy, we end up using all the things.)
> If we were allowed to export our services to China in exchange, this would be a very different geopolitical moment.

No, it wouldn't, just look at how Canada's being treated. The mothership would just broadcast different excuses.
> Some content has been removed in the second edition of the book because of limits on the number of pages

Lol, wut? The literal only working "buy it now" link is to a PDF. Page limits my ass. Or maybe "Paperback: 660 pages" was dangerously close to the Devil himself springing forth from the pages and turning all your codebase into VBScript
theres 0 actual political cost to them.

trump doesnt need anything from congress, and probably wouldnt change tariff policy even after said law is passed in a veto-proof way
Surely this retort sounded cooler in your head?

But also, literally I said a lot. There's enough meat there for someone who hasn't spent much time in the history of economics to spend an entire afternoon going down an enjoyable rabbit hole.
The counterpoint to this is that the US as the reserve country means that it’s very cheap for the US to service its debt since it’s holds the money supply. It basically controls its own destiny in that sense.
Regardless of current events: Both are looking at volume, when the nature of what's exchanged probably matter as much if not more.

If a country massively imports raw materials and exports a low but steady volume of high level finished products, as long as the raw materials are reasonably cheap it will be a winning strategy.

A country importing high technology goods and balancing that with raw resources will potentially be in a worse condition if raw materials stay a commodity or deplete.
Because they didn't have a father?
It amazes me the contortions some people go through to maintain the belief that this administration is competent.

Occam's razor suggests that they just have no idea what they're doing.
the problem is that when you get to call it for sure its too late to do something about it
Repeal citizens united, curb campaign and lobbying spending, breaking down of these chaebol-like conglomerates, make healthcare public and tax the rich massively. Something no body seems to want.
> Yeah there are trademarks as well and both can apply to characters.

I didn't say this was a trademark case just that there are multiple different aspects possible to the likeness issue.
oh I think they very much know what they are doing from a directional sense. All of this is intentional. I just think they are VERY bad at the details.
I don't think these tariffs would affect software. ?
Not really though, this seems like it was Cursors fault from the get go.
The vote didn’t implement anything. Britain didn’t actually leave the EU until 2020. Brexit is as of much concern in Britain, still, as Trump is - because it underlies their entire shaken economy. You think some tariffs are bad? Ok now what if Trump simultaneously tore up every trade agreement? And cancelled the visas of every European citizen in the country, who happened to make up 10% of the medical sector?
Could it be that the person has the email address saved as the default contact method in their contacts?

For a bit of time I had no cell service, but people could use Messages to send to my email address for my iCloud account. Once cell service was restored to the device, messages from one person always came addressed to the email while everyone else reverted to the phone number. I just assumed that this person's contacts listing for me was updated, or possibly even a separate contact using just my email???? I never figured it out/confirmed it either
they could be unconstitutional, but does that matter? the executive gets to enforce whatever it wants however it wants. nobody has to listen to congress or the courts when the executive is all aligned on what theyre gonna do
Presumably most 401(k) contributions and dividend reinvestments happening automatically create a large volume of buying power.

While some people freak out, call an agent, sell stocks, I'd imagine this is mostly actively managed (by humans and software) investments doing the selling.

Beyond that, when you sell something, maybe it felt like it was worth $10. But you offer it for $9.95. Maybe someone buys it, maybe not. Maybe you drop it to $9.80? Then someone buys it. Rinse and repeat until the price is now $8.

When you sell a "$10" stock, if you say you won't sell it for less than $10, you might not be able to do so. It's all more complicated than that, and there are limit and market orders, etc. that affect how much the price will vary from when you initiate it.

But if you're like "hmm, this is horrible news for the economy" you probably press the "sell as fast as possible" order, and your $10 stock might actually sell instantly for $9.50 because for someone with a "smart" algorithm, $9.50 looks pretty good when the stock still seems valued at $9.75+. But then a few million shares sell at prices lower than $9.75 and now the same system that thought it was a good idea to buy at $9.50 thinks it's a good idea to turn around and sell it... for even less.
I mean, it doesn’t really make sense to unify them. CPUs and GPUs have very different performance characteristics and you design for them differently depending on what they let you do. There’s obviously a common ground where you can design mostly good interfaces to do things ok (I’ll argue PyTorch is that) but it’s not really reasonable to write an algorithm that is hobbled on CPUs for no reason because it assumes that synchronizing between execution contexts is super expensive.
Manually. My MNO does pretty aggressive blocking, so I only have about 1/week to deal with. That's low enough that I report them manually rather than try to automate the constantly changing reporting process or deal with app development. The response is almost always some variation on "We've forwarded your report to the network we received it from".
This article really resonated with me.

I'm currenlty juggling a few side projects, one of which is a game I've been tinkering with for 3 years. It's a pretty simple simulation of riding your bike through a city at night. It's never been anywhere near close to anything I could actually release, but I finally at least pulled together a gameplay video I could show off to my familiy and friends. They were all pretty impressed, and all wanted to know when I'd actually release it.

But I doubt I ever will. To me, making the game is my game, and I've tried to frame my side project work to my gamer friends that way. Sometimes it's giving myself new techncial puzzles to figure out, other times it's just letting myself zone out and get creative with world building, snapping together building facades like legos to build whatever crazy city I can imagine. It's so much fun.

Another is a web project that's much less fun and creative, but the more I tinker with it the more it turns into something that may actually be useful to others. And it may actually turn into something I can release and promote, and maybe even earn a little beer money with. I'm currently working up the motivation and courage to do a Show HN on that one here soon.

It almost pains me to say it (for reasons I can't even articulate well) but I've found LLMs to be tremendously useful in pushing through on side project work. I've lost track of how many projects I've spun up over the years and abandoned as soon as I got to the tedious parts you need to tackle if you actually want a marketable product (admin interfaces, user accounts, endless boilerplate html, etc, etc). With a competent LLM I can just delegate all the tedious crap and stay focused on what's actually fun for me. It's great.
The title implies that the 5th kind of thing is revolutionary and unknown. I mean yeah? You parallelize a task that can be parallelized it's faster...

I thought it was going to be something that was unexpected. But alas that's happening less and less on HN.
Response from friends who voted for this because of Elon: “let them cook“.

This doesn’t seem to shock them
A bunch of these dates are way wrong because the author is stuck in an x86 consumer grade mindset. Even if we didn’t have multicore on our desktops a lot of us had shipped on multicore long before 2014 which is when he marks the era as beginning.

Multiprocessor was already an established solution. I worked on 4 core machines around 2008. As would anyone who worked on server software instead of just desktop.
Devil’s advocate:

If you (the US) massively subsidize the world order through your financial markets, military defense, and foreign aid, it’s only fair that you get to take advantage of your position.

Historically, the US has done this at the expense of its working class. Now there is a populist feeling that we are owed a long due “payback” for our generosity.

The Bernie/AOC left believe the payback is owed by our elites, who enriched themselves by austerity and hollowing out our industrial base.

The Trump/MAGA right believe the payback is owed by other countries — freeloaders that have benefited from our technology, military defense, and foreign aid while simultaneously being net exporters to the US.

To the latter crowd, the kind of “bullying” behavior you describe is actually the equivalent of a gentle giant who never stood up for himself finally deciding that he won’t take any more shit.

Edit: To any downvoters, please comment with where you think I’m wrong. I’m not defending any policy, just providing what I believe is an accurate representation of the populist American mindset described in the parent comment.
They did; they are active contributors to OpenAI’s Triton compiler which has a very similar execution model.
Jobs are different; which jobs in your opinion are likely to be lost? I can't think of examples where less-skilled labor workers would lose their jobs as result of tariffs, other than in a case where they were a maid/gardener of some business that went bankrupt by said tariffs.

Give some good examples, please, to support your claim.
but america doesnt want solar production, building projects, or transportation initiatives.

new roads and oil only.
Ten times? More like two times:

US population is around 340 000 000, 770 000 homeless.

UK population is around 68 000 000, 354 000 homeless. (Possibly calculated more inclusively.)

That's 0.23 % and 0.52 %.

(Numbers from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_the_United_Sta... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_the_United_Kin... or more specifically from a govt department and a homelessness charity. The US figure "does not include those staying with friends or family because they do not have a place of their own".)
Of course I wrote this comment off the top of my head, sitting on the toilet, and the second I got off I started thinking to myself, "You know, this probably already exists." So I did some research and of course it does:

* https://marta.sh is a file manager for macOS that syncs state with the terminal. You can't quite do everything I talked about but just being able to cd by clicking around in a directory tree is already super helpful for me. Unfortunately I don't think it works over SSH and it crashed twice in the first five minutes of me using it.

* There is a bash debugger, but the only good GUI I could find after 5 min of Google was a Visual Studio Code plugin. I downloaded it and it seemed to completely break the first time it hit an error. But, it does have some basic functionality like breakpoints.

* I checked if you can copy and paste from the command log in Sublime Merge, my favorite git client, and you in fact can! You can't mass-save things as a script but this is good enough for my purposes.

Or it's just his newest promise to give voters something for free. Like the wall that was partially built and paid for with DoD funds. He advertises tariffs as free money from other countries. For some reason people buy it.
I honestly don’t personally know anyone on personal level who is trans who would talk about the issue. I do have close LGB friends who I talk to about these issues and they are opposed to it for the most part.

I have heard my gay friends say that the issue is causing support for issues that do affect them lose support because of narratives around trans issues.

If you even look what Trump is doing, he isn’t erasing LGB teens from government websites, just everything else related to it.

No, I’m not in favor of that anymore than I’m in favor of him removing everyone from government websites that is Black.

I’m all about RealPoliticks. Obama distanced himself from radical Blacks (repeat I a black) and Bill Clinton through Sister Soulja under the bus to appeal to moderates.

If that were actually the case, companies would be using simple IQ tests.
I am not entirely sure if the distinct service is justified here, but in my own work, I've found that regular Chatgpt is great in writing queries. And usually I post the '\d ' output to it to describe my schema, and ask in regular language what i want. I don't think i encountered yet cases when it didn't work. The only thing I had to occassionally ask is to rewrite the query from nested query to CTE.

Atm I have a pool of US and Canada +1 numbers that get randomly rotated to show as the caller ID.

I want to keep it as simple as possible but toying with the idea of letting people add their number as the caller ID, it would involve number verification with an automated call to setup so need to see if it's what people would want?
> Industrial policy will always fail if it’s driven by a chimeric political system

I think you're begging the question here that a chimeric political system can craft an effective, long-term tariff policy if it can't craft a long-term industrial policy.

In both cases, the operative phrase is long-term. IF they're to be effective, either set of policies needs to look a decade ahead, and an industrial policy still wins compared to shotgun tariffs.
You said the most important part. Trump and Co believes that a car or semi factories grow overnight like mushrooms in the forest. If a CEO of a semiconductor company would decide to start building a billion dollar plant in the USA, which would take 6-8 years to built, knowing that new President from the other much different party might take over in less than 4 years, that CEO would probably endup being sued by shareholders for jeopardizing the company's bottom line.

Noone in their right mind will start building factories in USA because of temporary tariffs that all might go away with an executive order and a stroke of a pen comes January 2029.
I don’t think this is true. It seems to me more that nobody has put in a serious effort to make a nice interface build using Rust.
IMO, it's not. All the UI boils down to: https://github.com/zhangchenchen/query_gpt/blob/main/src/api...
I’m not advocating for or defending them, but he bullied some immigration related concessions out of Mexico back in February in the first round of this stuff. You could plausibly call it a negotiation tactic. The latest is just pure madness any way you look at it.
Haha please describe the NATO invasion of Russia. This sounds entertaining.
I used web-based WhatsApp to get messages on my phone.
You're making the mistake of believing that anyone left in the MAGA camp is arguing in good faith.
Aren’t the tariffs that the US is imposing half of what other countries have? Or was that fake news from the admin?
Agreed, but maybe Congress takes action on one thing they'll find it in themselves to take action on a second thing. Having been in a lot of real fights, standing there and doing nothing is almost invariably the worst choice.
That may be, but if you run the numbers, the older generations overwhelmingly put this administration in power. If for some reason you weren’t able to vote after 65, it would have been close. And if you weren’t able to vote over 55, it would have gone largely the other way.
> Hotels are like McDonalds, they are designed for the regular customer who wants to get that Hilton-feeling, regardless of if they are in Wichita or Cairo.

Stop staying at chain hotels. There are plenty of hotels out there that are what you're looking for, and have an actual business to engage with in case of issues instead of some anonymous lister on AirBNB.
Same. I have a team lead who's trying to externalize a SQL query to new infrastructure. Why can't we do a database call on the current machine? why does this have to be a task for an external machine to carry out???

It's like the current machine can't wait on the database, we have to wait on an external machine that waits on the database. Why why why? I feel web developers are so used to these patterns that they lose common sense.

I'm sure tons of people will agree with the team lead. I think a lot of people just don't get it.
The average inflation-adjusted annual tuition for a 4-year degree has gone from $2843 to $10,892 between 1969 and 2023 in 2023-dollars. [1]

Healthcare spending per capita has gone from $2,151 to $14,570 in the same period in 2023-dollars. [2]

The inflation-adjusted home price index has more than doubled over that period. [3]

Real wages have remained fairly stagnant over these same decades. [4]

Deciphering Glyph: A Bigger Database
its kinda funny though, since US lack of shipbuilding is directly the result of protectionist law in the jones act

get rid of the jones act, and you get americans on boats again, rather than trucks
The US has always been incredibly mercenary with their investment. If there was a way of squeezing more blood from the stone a previous president would have done it. You learned about economic policy yesterday. Now you think that picking tariffs by throwing darts can do better than seasoned economic expert trying to maximize benefit to the US. It's just laughable.
It’s worth a debate, even though in American culture we hold this idea as beyond any consideration.

Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying "it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer". That's a noble thought, but those 100 criminals can cause suffering of 100s of others. So his assessment isn't necessarily accurate. Every innocent father jailed in El Salvador might save 10 children from losing their own father.
Originally the Intel Ohio One fab was being lobbied for by some housewife in Lorain. It went to New Albany because that part of Northern Ohio couldn't get its act together in contiguous land acquisition.
If you’re looking at HDI, Mississippi (the lowest scoring state in the US), would rank 25 out of 41 European countries.

I can’t find IHDI by state, but given that the US only drops a few spots between HDI and IHDI, Mississippi isn’t likely to be anywhere near the bottom.

All southern states except Mississippi rank in the top 50% of European counties by HDI btw.

My point stands.
You can tell my engagement level with my job by the commit frequency on my side-project.

If I'm deeply engaged at work, I don't have many spare cycles out of hours and there's little happening - library updates and small fiddling.

Otherwise - it's full steam ahead on projects that I somehow magically find the time for.

I don't work on my stuff during work hours - disengagement from work results in more energy and motivation to do stuff out of hours.

Weirdly, I think this actually benefits those boring workplaces too.
If I'm scratching the itch with what I'm doing on my side-project - it means I'm less likely to invent interesting new ways to over-complicate things at work.
>One thing to note when comparing imports to spending. Import numbers are based on the commercial invoice value (i.e., how much it cost to produce) while spending is based on the sale price. So it's an...apples and oranges comparison.

The context of this is the impact of tariffs on households' budget, and in that context, invoice value is fine, because that's the value on which tariffs are applied. 30% tariffs don't mean all foods go up 30%, it means it goes up by 6% (20% of 30%).
Yeah, I've noticed that when I have lots of stressors, I don't have any creative energy. I have to give myself permission to let go, that it's ok to forget about a side project. It's more important to focus on self-care and tackling irl problems at that point.

But when life is good, it's hard to stop tinkering. Weekend-sized projects are the best. For me, it's an urge to create and see the core 20% come to life, not to maintain the boring parts over time.

Hormonal fluctuations is an interesting theory. I always thought it's just a need for variety -- sometimes consuming (i.e. developing taste, curating, exploring), sometimes creating, sometimes relaxing. For me the cycle is months at a time.
You're disagreeing with statements by the President of Mexico, describing the result of ongoing negotiations?

Canada and Mexico share a physical border with USA, which has already resulted in unique (i.e. unrelated to the math of 180+ other countries which don't physically border USA) tariffs tailored to border security goals, under national security emergency directives which overrode USMCA.

USMCA has been historically gamed by international manufacturers seeking more favorable terms for products destined to the US market. As stated by the leadership of both Mexico and Canada, USMCA will need to be renegotiated to address issues identified by all three parties, which would then reduce the need to invoke the emergency-power tariffs that have been deployed against 180+ countries.
