Longer-term I think Notion would benefit from going straight for the Google Workspace/O365 market and start offering email/calendar/etc end-to-end, rather than their current strategy of integration. The current strategy makes sense to start building up the suite, but: Google is feeling increasingly vulnerable, Notion itself is one of those rare products that has maintained general positive vibes among its customers for many years, and I think a lot of especially smaller companies would opt for just the notion suite if it checked the major boxes.

I've also always felt that Dropbox should have went down this road, after they released Paper in 2015, but I think their time has passed. Google also wasn't nearly as vulnerable back then; they still aren't super vulnerable now, but I think they're trending that way, and if Notion times it right they could be in a great position.
If it works, great! But their AI assistant is much to be desired. It is really pretty useless most of the time and in terms of text generation I find that I can get better results if I go straight to GPT-4. I know that this is purely down to cost but honestly I feel that bringing better, more powerful models, that can do well consistently would be a killer feature - not an email client.
Eh, the internet is a weirdly semi-public space. Think of it more like a mall parking lot than a public common. If you put something up for notice there it will probably be fine. For example a number of grocery stores around me have boards for things just like that. But the moment it becomes a public nuisance for them they will trespass your ass outta there faster than a starved dog would eat a dropped hotdog.

No way. Google docs is amazing.

I could do search and replace for years. Notion only added that recently.

Imo notion is a fun tool. But it’s a toy.

It is slow and worse, not accurate at all, when you have any actual data (100+ items you’re actively working with), clunky interface, and is good if you’re a student taking notes and making forms, or doing something casual before you need something robust.

For anything else, Docs and Sheets are far superior and better products.
I'm lucky that my kiddos accept deals.

There are companies doing something like that (StreamShark, Quanteec, Eyevinn; even Cloudflare with WHEP). On a company I worked on, they used Eyevinn for events with more than 100K users; and there were still performance issues.

Besides bandwidth problems (as you can't 100% rely on remote connections), any P2P solution would mean the same fragment will be shared many times between clients; something CDN networks have solved already (just serving content, instead of juggling with signalling)
ssh server certificates should not be TOFU, the point of SSH certs is so you can trust the signing key.

Yes, there's little nuance. I see so many people saying it will be hard to bring back manufacturing jobs, or "we can't go back to the 50s," and then they just stop as if that settles the argument. The implication, which they never say out loud, is that we shouldn't even try, just accept things as they are. Just be the Big Consumer until someday the rest of the world doesn't want our dollars anymore, and then what?

Seems much better to look seriously at the manufacturing we still have (as you say, it's considerable), where we can expand on that, and where we're lacking and need to rebuild.
There is a security model where MITM is not viable - and separating that specific threat from that of passive eavesdropping is incredibly useful.

> ... the new reality also includes the fact that many other states are seeking to draw closer to us. 13% of global trade is with the United States. That's a lot. 87% of the world's trade is with other countries. And they all want predictability and reliable rules. Europe can deliver that. We must now use this momentum to open up new markets for our companies and establish as close a relationship as possible with many countries that have the same interests as us.

Emphasis mine; While everyone is certainly a fan of brining back local manufacturing (and I think we should be looking to do more of this in Europe as well) the speed and lack of planning with which team Trump decided to start putting into action tariffs as well as reducing their military support has made the US a very unreliable partner in the eyes of the world.

Instead of bowing down to Trump's whims, the world is forging new trade partnerships which may very well be to the detriment of the US, which has thrown a lot of soft power out the window within a matter of weeks.

Near as I can tell, this MSN article is a re-post of a fortune.com article that pulls most of its reporting from a NYT article that it doesn't link to, and that (according to MSN's take), mostly just references "sources" and "industry sources."

It's a real shame. OCSP with Must-Staple seemed like the perfect solution to this, it just never got widespread support.

I suppose technically you can get approximately the same thing with 24-hour certificate expiry times. Maybe that's where this is ultimately heading. But there are issues with that design too. For example, it seems a little at odds with the idea of Certificate Transparency logs having a 24-hour merge delay.

The advantage of these large corporations is good stuff like this that a smaller company couldn’t afford. Like how Disney World is in bending over backward to be accessible for my daughter in a wheelchair. This sort of thing is an objective good.

The problem with their games is in being such big tent trying to appeal to everyone (note I’m not talking about accessibility, which is a totally different axis), they feel too smoothed out and have very little interesting to say, and their games just aren’t that much fun.

It reminds me of that article posted on HN the other day saying that often our weaknesses and strengths are two sides of the same coin.
Point of order has been raised. However, this is not a valid point of order, as there was no specification in either the comment to which I replied or the original article of real-world interaction as opposed to online interaction. This appears to be based on a conflation of my use of "real world" with "physical interaction" rather than "real world" vs "idealized abstraction". In this case, the point was that the parent is describing the idealized form of argument people should engage in as opposed to how people actually engage in argument.

Therefore, the point of order is not sustained.
It’s not a terrible theory. You could argue that other websites banning their containment communities caused a spillover effect into the wider internet as well.

I don't completely agree. (I know... How meta.)

I have worked to be as rational as I will personally tolerate, and it has been difficult, but I've achieved some success. The key is to divorce your identity from your beliefs about the world, and to realize that the opposite of never admitting you're wrong is "always being right", which is of course impossible, so if you are TRULY interested in becoming MORE right, then the only reasonable option is that you must sometimes lose arguments (and admit it to both of you).

Are most people interested in doing this? No, and in that sense you have a point. But it's available to everyone, and who wouldn't want to be more right?

The other difficult thing to do is to aim this at yourself with full candor and work through that. Interestingly, now that ChatGPT has access to all the conversations you've had with it, and assuming you've opened up to it a bit, you can ask it: "You know me pretty well. Please point out my personal hypocrisies." If you want to make it more fun, you can add "... as Dennis Leary/Bill Burr" etc. What it said when I tried this was fascinating and insightful. But also difficult to read...

It's a different approach for us (am parent of a 5 and 3 year-old). Every type of food is equal, nothing gets put on a pedestal. Candies, snacks, ice creams, vegetables, fruits, legumes, meats, seafood - it's just "food". We highlight that you shouldn't eat too much of one thing all the time because your body likes a good variety, but that's about all the pressure we put on them. They're learning about sugar, for instance, in their preschool and we've talked about it in that context.

If they don't like something, fine. Totally cool, we don't care. The second you pressure a kid to eat a vegetable or a fruit, it becomes a fight and they will dig their heels in. Just keep serving whatever you cook, and either they'll come around or they won't. After all, they're human just like we are - we all have foods we like and dislike, and that's OK. No point in striking a deal, just keep exposing them to a wide variety of stuff and eventually they'll try it all - if they like it, great, if they don't, oh well, at least they like other stuff.

I can't speak for any other parents but myself, but this approach has worked wonders for us. Our kids definitely do shun certain foods or look away, but they eat a very wide variety of food. We don't have to bring a PBJ with us to a restaurant, or chicken nuggets to a friend's house, because they'll usually eat most of what is served. We've had grandparents bring "treats" over - we'll put them on their dinner plate with the rest of their food and, hand to god, last night my 5yo ate half her candy bar and left it there while asking for multiple helpings of peas and devouring her entire turkey burger. Only thing left on the plate was the candy.

Everyone's mileage may vary, obviously.

Without the university infrastructure around these Labs they'd EACH have to each employ their own construction, maintenance, housekeeping, legal, bookkeeping, HR, IT, compliance (and more) staff.

There will still be some research done if the cuts to the indirects survive the courts but it will be drastically reduced in scope as the labs staff will have to cover any functions no longer provided by the host university.

And you probably know this but this money isn't getting stuffed in to university presidents pockets or anything. It's paying (some) of the salaries of ordinary people working at jobs that pay about 20% (or more) less than they'd make in the private sector.

Ask HN: Why do DOGE stories never make it to the frontpage?
This morning I saw a news story that seemed pretty important for tech workers to be aware of [1]. I went to submit, and I was taken to a page where the post was already marked as "flagged" despite having 400+ upvotes in the 4 hours since original submission. However, the post had been flagged, so I was unable to see it on the front page. Who makes the decisions about what is getting flagged, and why does it seem that none of the really important DOGE news is allowed to surface?

On the topic of licenses and LLM’s—of course, we have to applaud sourcehut at least trying to not allow all their code to be ingested by some mechanical license violation service. But, it seems like a hard game. Ultimately the job of their site is to serve code, so they can only be so restrictive.

I wonder if anyone has tried going in the opposite direction? Someone like adding to their license: “by training a machine learning algorithm trained on this source code or including data crawled from this site, you agree that your model is free to use by all, will be openly distributed, and any output generated by the model is licensed under open source terms.” (But, ya know, in bulletproof legalese). I guess most of these thieves won’t respect the bit about distributing. But at least if the model leaks or whatever, the open source community can feel free to use it without any moral conflict or legal stress.
