Oh boy. There have been tomes written on how Musk's companies are set up around capturing government subsidies. If you're earnestly interested, such analyses are not hard to find.

The stock market itself is a shining example of regulatory capture - a perma-bubble due to fake "fiscal responsibility" political marketing that causes massive streams of newly printed money to be handed out to banks to dump into the asset bubble (that newly printed money representing the gains from technology and offshoring that would have otherwise caused price deflation)

But sure, I'll also agree that some of Musk's riches are due to actual wealth creation - before the crippling social media addiction and subsequent spiral into lunacy, anyway.

But that's all focusing on the problematic ways wealth concentration can arise (the context it was originally brought up in). The other critique (likely what you're referencing about Sanders) is about the corrosive effects that concentrated wealth tends to have. And surely you can see how that applies pretty strongly to Musk...
Yeah, XCB is a case where the new thing actually is a major improvement over the old. Nobody should be using Xlib by choice these days.

Good one! Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote something similar:

Every big tech company in the US has their version of PIP, to protect them from potential law suits as I understand, that lead to a situation that low performers might occupy their positions for months and years.
That's a really decent discussion though, from both sides. The option was seriously considered.

It's a world of difference to Gnome devs that will just shut down everything.

PS I do think dolphin is the weakest link in the KDE experience though. But they have made some really good improvements with KDE 6. Like the typable crumb trail.

It's a bit of a contrast though with macOS where the finder is one of the least opinionated parts of the OS (and thus for me one of the best). I think that's more of a historical thing though, Apple's vision seems to be more centered around moving file management into the domain of different apps like on iOS. Another thing i don't like but I think ios has loosened that somewhat as they had to contend that it was necessary to make the iPad more of a productivity device (it still really isn't one though)
Thanks for this bit of history that I was unaware of. Note that the chicken tax applies to light trucks however.
longterm google charts user. This has attraction. Good eye candy feel, responsive.

There are some specific things google charts do, like mark out kashmir and other disputed territories differently depending on your origin IP/AS so you don't fall foul of Indian law.

There are some things google charts don't do, like re-center maps off the meridien they think is best. Scaling geo charts for the pacrim island nations is also very hard. No good choices there perhaps.

Is there a migration guide?

Or in other words dumb people are less impacted by social desirability bias when responding to the survey because they don't realise that 'impartiality' is something to be desired.

As for why impartial news does so poorly in practice, it's often because it's utterly uninformative. 'Car bomb goes off in Kabul' is worthless info to 100% of the population, whereas the moment you try to contextualise it 'Car bomb goes off in Kabul, which is becoming more frequent, which suggests administration is lying about how well the occupation is going' then you're no longer impartial.

Journalists and editors have spent the better part of a century stripping all useful information out of their articles in an effort to be impartial. It would be much better if they instead aimed for a diversity of opinions than a mythical objectivity devoid of ideological bias.
Those are cool machines, but I think their website would be better if they focused on that instead of making you click several times to see them.

This idea of self-reliance has been tried, and probably the greatest example of it is an extremely funny one. North Korea.

Their primary ideology is "Juche": "Juche posits that a country will prosper once it has become self-reliant by achieving political, economic, and military independence." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juche

Maybe America can do it better?
You might find this R library interesting - I ran across it recently but haven't tried it myself:

The shift toward identity-first networking is also super interesting. Feels like we're finally moving past the idea that IPs = trust, and into a world where access control actually maps to human (or service) intent

You can also do that in Gh. Gizlab does that, too. But I hate it. When you do this, every build becomes cargo culting commands until it works. Ntm every build it's is own special snowflake from hell.
I want standardized builds which output everything I need (artifact, warnings, security issues etc) without me feeling like a necromancer. Gh solves this okayish, but extending and debugging is a pain.
/shrug Something to think about. Usually I'd say not to worry about it, but this particular point seems to be actively causing actual problems, so it might be worth looking at. Alternatively, if the pain points you've discovered really are all there are to find, then it might well be less trouble to just patch over them specifically and not worry about it. Ugly solutions that work well and don't take extra work are good solutions in my book;)
That definitely describes me. I can use the Git CLI if needed, because the Git Book exists, but I almost never need to.

If I had to actually use git on the CLI every day, I would probably complain a lot, but it's a pretty good experience when you're using Git Cola and GitHub.

It would be nice if it had native discussions, issues, and wikis, like Fossil does, having that all, decentralized seems like a good idea though.
Simplification leads to automation, which is one of the main factor of efficiency. Means goal and end goal...

Efficiency is always at odds with robustness, and it may be the ultimate challenge.

Some Japanese firms may also have adopted ole' USDA approach as I remember reading during the 80's that some Japanese big motorbike brand team in charge of the design of a new model was composed of teams of engineers, each dedicated to a given aspect (even transversal ones, there even was a team dedicated to 'temperature').
I don’t see that happening since the US has historically been the least protectionist of nations.

The EU loves protectionism. The single market is totally dysfunctional with a recent study saying it was equivalent to a 45% tariff between member states for manufacturing, a 110% for services.

If this is the cohort you expect to save the world economy with free trade I certainly wouldn’t be betting real money on it.

Build tools supporting duplicate class detection have existed for… well a long time. Ignore them at your own peril.
I find it inspiring that we are getting to where we are dealing with models that classify vulnerabilities at a systems level. However I also think we are kind of barking up the wrong three. There is IMHO something wrong with the current strategy of scaling up the von Neumann architecture. It leads to fragile software partitioning, noisy neighbors and both slow and sometimes unintended communication through shared memory.

Show HN: My spreadsheet automation suite is making $5K without VC funding
I built SmartSpreadsheets to solve a problem I kept encountering: businesses were paying for 10+ SaaS subscriptions when most of their tasks could be automated directly in Google Sheets.

The core is a collection of 15 Google Apps Script tools that add functionality to Google Sheets without requiring users to leave the familiar spreadsheet environment. Each tool is a standalone add-on focused on a specific workflow:

=> Content generation (OpenAI/Claude/Gemini integration)
=> WooCommerce/Shopify management
=> Web scraping + data extraction
=> WordPress site building without code
=> SEO tools (indexing, keyword clustering)

The technical approach: We use Google Apps Script as the foundation, with custom JavaScript to handle the various API integrations. For things like AI content generation, we direct API calls to OpenAI/Claude without marking up the costs.

What makes this approach interesting is that users maintain complete ownership of their data and automation workflows, rather than being locked into a proprietary system. When a SaaS product shuts down (which happens regularly), users lose access to both the tool and sometimes their data. With this approach, everything remains in their Google Drive.

Happy to answer any technical questions about the implementation or specific challenges we encountered.
Feels like tech companies treat engineers like implementation details until they need to hire more of them.
The EU should work on building things and not trying to regulate things to death.
Beautiful website.

Their media player with the spectrogram is wonderful and does so much to enhance the appreciation of each birdsong. As a lifelong synthesizer programmer and composer I appreciate the ability to visualize each song.

They even offer a quick-start guide for recording birdsong as well as a paid course to learn in greater depth. My kind of people!

Birds are endlessly fascinating and I'm delighted to see such a well presented ode to their beauty.
So then you do what ardour did, bundle (a subset of) gtk2 with your app sources? Not necessarily worse, and certainly a lot less work, than writing your own GUI library from scratch, that you then have to bundle with your app anyway because it's an obscure library nobody else has ever heard of?
Whenever you search for some advice (laptop with best battery life in 2025) or reviews (hubspot vs. salesforce) you are barraged with torrents of AI-generated slop. Now that it's also taking over the search engine itself (AI summaries) your whole experience will be dumbed down to the point of mindless automaton consuming pre-packaged tidbits of revenue-generating pre-approved sanitised elite-friendly information.

I've always found it curious how the level of technology in Children of Men seemed to have stalled at around the time of the outbreak. From where I see it, the maturation of LLMs is the zombie outbreak for human communication.
Everyone is both selfish and selfless, to different degrees at different times and in different situations, including the people you apparently believe to be completely selfish (you don't really believe that?).

(Obviously a simplistic binary system, but appropriate for HN comments where time and space is limited.)

The religion and worship of selflessness is a cult - who ever followed such an ethos; even what great American? Did Washington? Lincoln? King? Eisenhower? Who before Trump? Who anywhere at any time is admired for it? Any religious figures? Saints? Moses/Jesus/Mohammad? Siddhartha Gautama?

Step back, stop drowinging in Internet ideology, take a even slightly broader view than the immediate tide of ideology - the concept is an absurdity for its simplicity and morality. Wake up sooner, rather than later.

A functioning society can't be built around either extreme, and because no human fits either extreme, it's a pointless debate about science fiction.

Markets are great tools and work with a mix of selfishness and selflessness - markets are destroyed by the too selfish, parasites who, for example, undermine the essential trust, safety, and integrity of the market for their own profit. The tools of selflessness are also great and built a society of freedom, which creates markets, innovation, opportunity, and social stability - universal education, for example; much healthcare is funded that way; many people wouldn't have effective rights without pro bono legal help and advocacy.

They are different tools each relatively better for different problems. Obviously 'free markets' leave a lot to be desired; obviously we can't function solely on selflessness.

You're quite optimistic. With the current administration and its purge of federal workers (including those in NIST), it will likely take much longer than that.

We use Echarts on our Bluesky analytics site

Really great experience, we optimized the imports to reduce bundle size.

For https://www.appbrain.com we also use it and had to optimize it even more.We render it server side and only return the SVG to the client.

Server side rendering is a very powerful feature only very few chart libraries support.
> Studio Ghibli on the other hand had exposure to millions of people (maybe hundreds of millions), and probably >5% of those were potential customers.

There's a lot of ifs in here. The number of people exposed to has an estimate that covers two orders of magnitude, "maybe". "probably". "greater than". "potential".

In order for this exposure to have more value than the ownership of the original, all of those things need to fall into place. And no one can offer meaningful exposure based on the off-chance that a meme goes viral. All the risk is on the creator, they lose control of their asset and receive a lottery ticket in return.

> So yes, being paid in exposure makes sense, if the exposure is actually worth what the art is worth. But most people offering to pay in exposure are overvaluing their exposure by 100x or more.

Yes, but that's a big "but"; it's difficult to know the value of the "exposure" that is being offered, not to mention if the entity offering it is legit or if it's just a scam because they don't want to pay.

Additionally, the AI companies who are slurping up copyrighted works to train their models are not offering exposure. And the mememaker who happens go viral can't offer it either.

Yeah, this seems like a non-issue, as a player would already need NSO to play online in the first place.
I used to love this until I got a NAS. At the time(I don't know if it's still true) the Vorta GUI didn't make it easy to use a remote repo without installing the borg service on the NAS.

It's only available as a community package, which I was not able to set up in less than fifteen minutes.

So I switched to Kopia, as per my general policy of mostly avoiding personal tech that seems like it's hacker/tinkerer stuff that will require maintenance.

Have not had any regrets so far! Kopia is newer, and the GUI isn't as good, but I love that it's packaged as a single file AppImage and also has a Flatpak option.
> I'm not aware of any legal precedent forbidding me to (internally) do as I please with public content that I scrape.

Because all the litigation is currently ongoing.

Yes let's sacrifice all production of cultural artifacts for the market. This is honestly another thing that's being litigated. So far these companies have lost a lot of money on making a product that most consumers seem to actively hate.

Start looking for alternatives already. Nothing good came out of VC rounds and private equity for the end consumers ever.
Historically, the United States of America pursued a protectionist policy from the beginning of the 19th century until the middle of the 20th century.

Between 1861 and 1933, they had one of the highest average tariff rates on manufactured imports in the world. After 1942, the U.S. began to promote worldwide free trade.

Within the EU single market, there are no tariffs or customs duties between member states for manufactured goods, services, capital, and people, fostering free movement and trade.

The report(?) you a paraphrasing badly talked about within Europe (not the EU) and referred to figures between, say, Germany and Russia.

\? At a guess (thanks for not citing the report) you meant the IMF Regional Economic Outlook report titled “Europe: A Recovery Short of Europe’s Full Potential” (October 2024) ?
If that is the strongest attack yoi have, you don't have much. At least they are not allying themselves with Russia, unlike America.

Canada could have been an ally too ... now it mostly hates USA.

You might want to read up on Solzhenitsyn. Wrote some very important books, but not someone you want to quote on ethics.
"The economy works because people make these value-increasing transactions. I take $10 of inputs, manufacture $20 worth of output, and sell it to you for $15."

You pretty much nailed the arguments in favor of trade protectionism right there. Import cheap unprocessed raw materials, export expensive finished goods, capture the majority of value created in the process.

I mean, China, Japan and South Korea are sitting down to determine a possible opening of markets between them.

There's some evidence that your career success depends heavily on the timing of your entry into the job market. That is, if you start working during an economic slump your career will suffer but if you wait and enter during a peak economic period you will always "ride the wave". I've seen this happen to individuals.

So I suggest that you stay in school, take a Masters degree and try to enter the market at a better time!

Don't go any further than a Master's. Here's why:

Thinking is moot though. What’s going on at the moment is about Trumps raw power. As much as the markets prefer stability, everything is relative, so he still has the power to move the markets just by signaling different things moment to moment. Of course this is not sustainable over the long run, but the American economy is certainly meta enough at this point that it’s very hard to guarantee the repercussions will land while he is still alive/in-office.

I hope in the long term the voting public can come back around to the idea that character and thoughtfulness still have a place in politics, but that might just be wishful thinking in a social/AI age where real truth in any particular domain is too complex for individuals to digest, intellectuals and experts have lost credibility with the public at large, and therefore trust in leadership is entirely based on superficial vibes and talking points that can resonate in a 5-10 second TikTok-ready take.
I looked into eBPF-based observability tools for k8s some time ago and found at least four tools that look incredibly similar: Pixie, Parca, Coroot, and Odigos. There are probably others I missed too. Do you have any thoughts about this?

From a user perspective, having several tools that overlap heavily but differ in subtle ways makes evaluation and adoption harder. It feels like if any two of these projects consolidated, they’d have a good shot at becoming the "default" eBPF observability solution.
Building everything shouldn’t be the goal, however, having a strategic capability shouldn’t be overlooked either. There is also the question of supply chain resilience. Covid taught us that the whims of governments can choke up the entire system.
I first heard of it in a 1990s book saying it showed a photo of running cars when the users queried it for "people sitting".
In the UK and Australia there were huge incentives. I recall reading that the peak of the damage to the UK was in the late 90s early 00s when all the older tradesmen began retiring and basic shit like plumbing because scarce. Largely blamed on thatcher.
