One positive that could still come out of the tariffs is the US consuming less junk.

I just spent a few months in Germany, and the trash can for our APARTMENT BUILDING is roughly half of the size of the one at my single family home in the US. And here I see lots of my neighbors overflowing their 96 gallon wheeled tote very week. The world would be much better off with out all of this waste.
If someone can reasonably consider it food, fair to say that is food for the sake of this.

Like I said, I haven't met the food I don't like yet. It is impossible to know how I feel about the foods I haven't yet met. There is an infinite selection of food out there. Perhaps something will cross my plate someday that turns up my nose. I always try new foods when I have the opportunity, but that day hasn't yet come.
They won’t allow you to use regular TOTP alone. You always have to link a phone, even for Google Workspace. It sucks!
You have to actually utilize the legal system. Other suggest attaching licenses to they published content/data preventing AI training, but attaching the license alone does nothing. You have to actually drag someone to court once in a while for it to work.

It's the same complaint about the GDPR, if it works why are site still doing X/Y/Z... Well because all people do is complain online, you need to report violations and be prepared to take legal action.
40 years later? Were there people marching in the streets demanding the practice stop in the 1940s? Editorials? Muttering at work?
Yes, this is exactly it. Eventually the cruelty and fear become the ends themselves rather than a means to an end.
Hi there,

I agree that it was never _meant_ to indicate that you jump straight into building an MVP.

However, people don't read the small print. Appreciate that a book isn't the proverbial 'small print' but not many founders read The Four Steps, The Startup Owner's Manual, The Lean Startup etc. _before_ they dive into figuring out how to take their idea forward.

I speak from experience - I've spoken with a number of founders who focused on building an MVP first and have spent hundreds of thousands in the process without any hope that they'd get their investments back.

The idea of MVP makes sense. But the term MVP is unhelpful and is responsible for more value destruction than it's helped create.

In fact I see two problems:

1. the phase before the MVP doesn't have a name
2. the term MVP suggests you need a product to validate your idea

To address these problems:

a. we need a name for the phase that comes before building - Pre-Build in|Validation

b. we build a Proven Viable Idea, not an MVP.
>Back in the 1990s politics were much less polarized.

The 90s were the era of Gingrich and the "Contract With America" and the rise of figures like Rush Limbaugh. If you weren't around it was pretty bad back then too. Witness the enduring "the Clintons are LITERALLY an evil crime family" meme from then that persists to this day.
Unlikely, given that the current administration seems incapable of understanding what VAT is in the first place…
I wonder if the analogy might be more like comparing an apple tree evolving in a forest vs breeding varieties of apples on a farm.

Even if you pick a state, science in any single state has still gotten federal funding and had the ability to easily cross-pollinate with other very good researchers across state boarders. The federal funding then gets redirected to areas of success and the flywheel starts.

That's harder on the scale of a small country.
I agree, but I think the pendulum just went too far on the tradeoff scale.
Typical guidance is to pin the CA or intermediate, because in case of a key compromise, you're going to need to generate a new key.

You should really generate a new key for each certificate, in case the old key is compromised and you don't know about it.

What would really be nice, but is unlikely to happen would be if you could get a constrained CA certificate issued for your domain and pin that, then issue your own short term certificates from there. But if those are wide spread, they'd need to be short dated too, so you'd need to either pin the real CA or the public key and we're back to where we were.
Yeah very often it’s about feeling like they have some control. Consider their day to day they are constantly being told where to go and what to do. They’re still people and do want to feel like they have some agency. Of course we can’t let them choose to do whatever they want. But by giving them options they now feel like they’re included in the decision making process.

Not always appropriate but very useful in many situations. And if used proactively, possibly limit episode occurrence when not under your control.
If they don't like something I just give them more of it, in smaller doses or disguises, until they get used to it.
If you squint at the GPL then you could argue that every LLM is already under it, because it's a viral license and there's almost certainly some GPL code in there somewhere. I'm sure the AI companies would beg to differ though, they want a one-way street where there's zero restrictions on IP going into models, but they can dictate whatever restrictions they like on the resulting model, derived models, and model output.

I hope one of the big proprietary models leaks one day so we get to see OpenAI or Google tie themselves in knots to argue that training on libgen is fine, but distilling a leaked copy of GPT or Gemini warrants death by firing squad.
Seems mad to build this ahead of just adding usable task lists with assignments.
As long as they arrive before may 2nd.
Who is burning babies alive and gangraping corpses? We know that israel has been killing children for a long time now, and they have been recorded raping prisoners.
I wonder how much of that is simply due to the ability to use the Gmail API vs IMAP.

I’ve been knocking around the idea of building an email client, but IMAP looks like nightmare fuel. JMAP would be perfect but adoption looks like it’s going nowhere.

[edit] Seeing a lot of people here diss on Gmail. I don’t blame you, I want out too. If you want more options, lean on your email provider to start supporting JMAP. https://jmap.io
Dollar general is not a "dollar store" where everything costs a dollar. not even dollar tree is that now though...
The current administration have interrupted the pipeline of students to research - current research funded or partially funded by federal government is stopping or will be curtailed and future students will question whether is a rational decision to go into any sort of path that leads to research because it would only be stable for maybe two to three years, assuming a sane, science respecting House, Senate and President were in office and used the regular norms to pass bills and implement programs. I do not see a recovery path from this unless American public gets a similar thrashing like the Great Depression and decides to not elect nut jobs for 50 years. I keep seeing interviews with those who vote for Trump and are hurt by his tariffs or immigration changes and insisting they still support Trump. Those (mostly older) people are going to have to die of natural causes and be replaced by demographic shifts before things change, but the last election showing young men shifting to Trump and this administration trying to suppress the vote of women does not point to this.
You are always dependent on a 3rd party to some extent: DNS registration, upstream ISP(s), cloud / hosting providers, etc.
I don't see how this is a reply to my point. Building up manufacturing takes a decade or longer (putting the problem aside that there aren't going to be enough workers). Tariffs are heavy market regulation. Even if manufacturing was brought back successfully, the production costs would be too high without such heavy market regulation.

You seem to assume that once manufacturing has been brought back it would somehow be internationally competitive. I don't see how that's possible.

Maybe I didn't get your point.
Apple Rebrands Search Ads Business as 'Apple Ads'
It’s possible parent comment is referring to factually proven issues, such as climate change, that the right has its own set of propagandistic facts for.

I’d say the any group of people has areas of less factitious basis for their beliefs. But, We all should want to employ truthful factual real, non-propagandistic ideas, eh? Is this controversial?

If we don’t have ground truth, real facts, what can we base anything off of? Our policies will fail, our dollars will be wasted, and division will grow.
Well either people thought my comment was to be taken literally, or they believe 4chan is culture and other hurting cultural gatherings like midsize live music venues were not.
High paying manufacturing jobs seems entirely delusional. If you want to compete with China your workers must be as efficient as Chinese workers, so US manufacturing workers can't be better paid and doing less hours. That can not possibly work.

> In 2025, with the abandonment of U.S. government support for university research, the long run of U.S. dominance in science may be over.

I find it amazing that this is the conclusion when earlier in the article it was stated that "[Britain] was teetering on bankruptcy. It couldn’t afford the broad and deep investments that the U.S. made." The US debt is starting to become an existential problem. Last year the second largest outlay behind social security was the interest payment at a trillion dollars. This is a trillion dollars that cannot be used to provide government services. Over the next 30 years the primary driver of debt will be medicare and interest payments, the former due to demographic shifts and the US being pretty unhealthy overall. Our deficit is (last I checked) projected to be 7.3% of GDP this year. That means that if congress voted to defund the entire military and the entire federal government (park services, FBI, law clerks, congressional salaries, everything) we would still have to borrow. Those two things combined are only ~25% of federal outlays.

I also reject the idea that this government-university partnership is somehow perfect. Over time bureaucracy tends to increase which increases overhead. This happens in private industry, government, universities, everywhere. However, there is no failure mechanism when it comes to government-university partnerships. At least in the free market inefficient companies will eventually go defunct which frees those resources for more economically useful output. Universities will continue to become more bureaucratic so long as the government keeps sending them more money. All of these economic effects must be viewed over very long periods of time. It's not enough to setup a system, see that it produced positive results, and assume it will continue to do so 80 years later.

Really this reads like a pleas from special interest groups who receive federal funding. Every special interest group will be doing this. That's the issue though. A lot of special interest groups who have a financial incentive to keep the money flowing despite the looming consequences to the USD.
Sadly, the mouse would surely smite this awesomeness.
Are you planning on emigrating?

Just curious. I'm starting to worry it might be the only right option
the game theoretic is to notice that +validate -solve is cheaper than +validate +solve, and capitalize on that. -validate +solve is the Comcast and Spirit airlines approach, so it's also valid
Romans used to do similar things when mining silver. Either dam up a lot of water and flood away an entire hillside or do this and direct channels into the surface and collect all the runoff for processing.
This looks incredible!
I don't think "DOGE stories never make it to the frontpage" or "none of the really important DOGE news is allowed to surface" are accurate statements. DOGE has been heavily discussed here, and stories have received a lot of attention, e.g:

> cares much about democracy anymore

Anymore? Arguably, the US never did. Ask, for example, the people living in Caribbean or Latin American countries what happened when they elected leaders that the US disliked.

Or Iran. Or Italy. Or Congo. And so on.

Or ask the Indonesians about the mass killings in their country in 1965-1966, supported by the US. Around 500,000 people died, though some estimates put the number of deaths at 1,000,000. Ask the Filipinos about how the US propped up their military dictatorship back in the 1970s-1980s.

I could keep going, but I think you get the point. The US has never been sincerely interested in democracy -- only strategically. The illusion that the US cared about democracy was a primarily Western luxury.
You, as an adult in a society, have presumably been able to make yourself understood (including to yourself) for a long time, so "we understand what each-other are saying and can imagine one another's feelings" is a basic subtext of essentially every conversation you have.

Toddlers, on the other hand, are still working on gaining enough linguistic capability to make themselves understood and understand what others are saying, and are still gaining self-awareness of their feelings, needs, and the way the world around them works. Remember that within very recent memory they could only make their needs known by screaming. Validating their emotions and needs confirms that you actually, mechanically understand what they want, and in some cases helps them recognize in fact what they want, both of which can undermine the frustration at the root of the tantrum.
I don’t think it makes sense, per se, considering Gmail’s ubiquity comes from Google offering it as a free product, and then all the barriers to creating an email provider being raised in an attempt to combat spam.

There’s barely any point in setting up your own provider now because you have to compete both with free. All the action has been around email clients which have typically been acquired and then crushed.

Google could have stuck with the protocol or presented a spec for it, rather than leaving the competition with IMAP and SMTP.

What makes sense is they dominated the market and helped put up roadblocks afterwards. EEE.
Definitely—larger teams do typically have more stringent security and privacy requirements, especially if they're already using self-hosted GitHub. Self-hosted or hybrid deployment is definitely on our radar, and as we grow, it's likely we'll offer a self-hosted version specifically to support those larger teams.

If that's something your team might need, I'd love to chat more and keep you posted as we explore this!
Pretty formalized for being weird. But I think the most important thing for human beings continuing to have websites (and so weird websites) is to keep HTTP/1.1 and HTTP+HTTPS alive. Without those thing websites are just too fragile for humans to keep going more than a few years. Whereas with those things websites have indefinite lifespans even unmantained. I know the pieces fit, because I watched them fall away: http://superkuh.com/the-pieces-fit.html (a wierd web page). HTTP+HTTPS does work for human person use cases. Even if the profit-seeking corps and institutions want it gone because it doesn't fit theirs.

WEIRD is okay, and a fine start, but using someone else's service does not usually lead to creativity or weird. Just look how weird the early web was when everyone just did their own thing.
I've largely held this viewpoint for quite some time, but everyone has a line that shouldn't be crossed. Trying to literally overthrow our democracy was a line for a lot of the Trump supporters I've met who have since turned away. It personally wasn't even the line for me.

This second administration has very much crossed my line, in so many ways. We are past the point of "maybe I'm just confused?"

The people I've met who still support this guy are dangerously, dangerously stupid and hypocritical. They'd have strongly opposed all of the stuff Trump has done if they didn't know Trump was the one who did it. It's terrifying watching people completely abandon the principles they used to stand for.

We are dealing with a different phenomenon than just political disagreement; we are dealing with the type of delusion that gets millions of people killed, and we need to acknowledge it as such now.
Tan sounds like he's got some experience with people.

You can't always hug it out, and there are indeed people who put their wants and needs above those of others
It's odd how little factories moving from union areas to red states gets mentioned in this context.

Areas gutted, jobs lost and some lesser number of jobs with less benefits and pay created elsewhere.

So many political ideas seem to only be allowed to be discussed if you can add a garnish of racism or xenophobia to them.
Like many AI-driven products, the marquee use case they show is useless. "Job offers that require my signature"?? I am going to have one of these in the air at one time and will not be too busy to keep track the relevant emails! Indicates to me that product is a solution in search of a problem.

Similarly, the first Humane AI Pin hype video showed a guy on a train asking his pin to tell him about prices of vintage photos of a solar eclipse.

Show HN: I built an AI meeting note-taker with 95% accuracy, saves 5 hours/week
Hey everyone,

As a web developer , I was tired of wasting almost a full workday each week on meeting notes and follow-ups. After 3 months of coding, I made MeetingNotes AI to fix this.

It automatically writes down everything in your meetings with about 95% accuracy. It also makes short summaries and finds up to 10 action items after the meeting! We found it can save users over 5 hours a week and cut down post-meeting work by 50%.

Built with React and Supabase, I wanted to make something truly useful for other developers and anyone stuck in meetings.

Actually, children don't need grounding, they need to be taken seriously instead. Their emotions are no less valid than the ones of the grown up people, they just lack experience to recognize them and to handle them appropriately.

If you take the time to explain the situation to the child you often don't need to convince them anymore. And if you can't explain - should you really have your way?
I could move that all your examples except forums do not NEED members or users... except to spy on you and spam you.
Surely this could be addressed by putting more AI on top.

On a serious note, my team is very happy we migrated from Notion to Linear for task tracking last year, but we're still looking how to cover the wiki part.

"I am 70% confident that candidate X will win the upcoming elections."

"Oh, new polling data has come in that shows more support than I previously knew about? I'm now 80% confident of their victory."

Why do you think change cannot occur unless a belief is certain?

Functions, in the sense that there are global variables, is strongly discouraged by the language. It's usually much easier to define a type so there is a clear delineation.

That is, from Mongo, you use Serde and wind up with only valid records operated upon, of a table of such values.
Ah, I see what you're asking.

I just did some digging and cannot find an answer. Everything just says "X% or $Y flat fee".

Maybe it's up to the discretion of the administration. How much did you donate to Trump's campaign?
what's funny is that I have had good experience using the opposite workflow as said coworker

Do implementation with minimal (not none, tbf) AI support, ask copilot if there are any obvious issues with and otherwise check my work.

This workflow has helped me catch quite a few gotchas I would have otherwise missed.

Coding assistants are really helpful for validating output, I've had much more mixed results trying to use it to generate novel outputs.

As someone who's got a quick finger on the "flag" button I am inclined to flag anything that involves Elon Musk whether is someone who thinks he is a hero or thinks he is a villian.

There are topics that go viral because of emotionally negative content and I feel like I have to be very careful who I follow on Mastodon and Bluesky so that my feed is not dominated by outrage. I appreciate that HN isn't like that and I want to keep it that way. There are enough places you can participate in breathless discussions about the outrage of the day.

Also there are fellow HNers whose comments I really enjoy, who seem thoughtful and intelligent and who I have a great time interacting with who seem to turn into werewolves [1] when certain topics come up and keeping those topics away helps me experience their best.

[1] circa Spring 2025 I'm starting to wonder if is fair to werewolves to talk like this though

User files a ticket for their computer, then goes to lunch. IT fixes the problem and closes the ticket while user is at lunch with nothing but an email "we've resolved your ticket" and user discovers it is in fact solved. Some people will still be mildly upset because they didn't get to talk to the technician and give them a story or socialize, or they start calling the IT team "ghosts"
