Seems pretty on-brand for the Fed

As we say in my family: "close enough for government work!"

Wouldn't the darkening be temporary? After the bloom, the plankton are either consumed by ocean life, or die off and sink to the bottom (sequestering carbon in either case)

Hasn't this worked out in a few cases? Maybe Uber as a better solution than taxis as an example?

I'm curious what sort of unethical suggestions it's coming up with haha

I've tried but I honestly start getting a headache after an hour, more from the weight of the device on my head than eye strain. And that's with the dual loop band

Agreed :)

But severe stroke victims may not be able to. Hopefully tech like this can restore that ability for them one day soon

That museum might be my absolute favorite in the world. Absolutely stunning collection of aviation + space history on display

Absurd headline. Gizmodo's anti-tech bias is showing pretty clearly here. This makes total sense as a product strategy. Not sure what's so controversial about giving more reach to Threads posts as this already works pretty well for Instagram stories

Are big-iron investments like this even useful for an outright shooting war with another major power? It feels like our defense budget could be better spent on more cost-effective, unmanned tech

Reminds me of the Swiss brand H Moser that makes a mechanical wristwatch which looks like an Apple watch

That said, it's a custom case & their movement wouldn't slot into an actual Apple watch without a lot of machining. But it would be a cool way to immortalize one of these Series 1 watches https://www.h-moser.com/product/swiss-alp-watch-5324-1205/

I initially mis-read this as IKEA and was ready for a much more bizarre read

"recap.engagement.is_replied": 27 "recap.engagement.is_replied_reply_engaged_by_author": 75

I wonder if this is why threads rank so obnoxiously high. They get artificially boosted by the author replying to their own tweet

Yep. A very sad truth.

It would be quite a challenge to re-create what FB circa 2006-2010 or so was like. Before influencers and engagement farming. Before it became "social media" and was just a "social utility"

The problem is that even if you re-built that product, it would quickly get overrun by engagement optimizers. If the product is open, they'll rush in.

Group chat apps somewhat fill this product void, but not completely. There was something magical about a social network being somewhat open & organic that group chats can't capture

Con artists before the modern era were reigned in by their local communities. A grifter would gain a bad local reputation and find themselves unable to continue running their scheme as they'd run out of rubes to dupe. They'd have to leave to the next town if they wanted to keep grifting. But now with social media, grifters can instantly find a new audience of rubes who are unaware of their past exploits

This makes me so optimistic for the future of YC. Congrats Garry!

The car in question uses a dual clutch transmission. You can operate it in either automatic or manual mode. In manual mode you're selecting the gears yourself using paddle shifters. But there's no clutch pedal.

The automatic mode is technically "automatic-manual" in that it operates differently than a true automatic transmission. The computer shifts gears in lieu of you using the paddle shifters. It tends to be slightly jerkier than a true automatic.

These days its extremely rare to find a new-release supercar with a stick-shift manual. They almost all use dual-clutch paddle shifters.

It's a joy to use

QSBS cutoff is $50M in gross assets owned by the company, not $50M valuation. There are many cases where a valuation can be far above $50M yet still qualify. That said, I have no idea if Bolt would qualify here. FWIW financial services companies don't qualify for QSBS at all, so Bolt may fall under that

That all changes if you have a stalker / bad actor going after you online. Once your address hits one of these sites, it's on every one of them. And you'll be playing a constant game of whac-a-mole if you want them removed.

The amount of hoops you need to jump through to protect your privacy / shield your address in the US is quite incredible. And if you don't do it correctly from the start (use an anonymous land trust, etc), you're hosed.

Privacy should be the default. People's home addresses shouldn't be public info

reverse chronological simply won't work as a default without some constraints. Otherwise the "optimal" strategy for folks trying to game the system would be to just post constantly. Those who post seldom would get very little distribution as they'd be drowned out.

Midtown & Brickell are great on the Miami side. Sunset Harbor and perhaps South of 5th have some tech folks on the Miami Beach side.

Sounds like some of the offices for venture funds are opening up in Wynwood, on the Miami side.

Hope that's useful!

Throw enough marketing & psychology studies behind a "Which Muppets character are you?" quiz and you'd have something about as meaningful & actionable as MBTI.

I know you don't control who upvotes your comment, but I find it funny this is the top rated comment.

It has become a total HN cliché that the top comment is a negative takedown of the tech or startup in question. From Dropbox, to Coinbase, to Ethereum, and now to Bitcoin at 50k.

Not refuting anything you're saying here. Just find it amusing to have seen this pattern play out so many times here on HN.

Papalote burritos can easily cost $15 inc tax if you order them super. They even have a $20 burrito on the menu, before tax. Although they're all amazing

Investors for the most part no longer ask / want startups to move to SF. This was a trend even before COVID.

I wish this was the top upvoted comment. It's the root cause behind so much of all this.

Engagement algorithms are driving extremism. Outrageous, inflammatory, even seditious political speech is more "engaging" than reasonable speech.

So until we can reform engagement algorithms, we will indeed have to keep playing whac-a-mole. With uglier and uglier moles.

He knows how they work — but he also knows his constituents don't know how they work. And they don't care how they work. So he says what his voters want to hear.

It's bad faith, intellectual dishonesty, and cowardice. And sadly: it's the norm.

Too many elected officials value their political career over doing the right thing. I think that's probably the strongest argument for term limits: being a professional politician just shouldn't exist as a career track.

This is clickbait. Apple will not discontinue support for Intel Macs "soon".

And his computer will likely work, just with an outdated version of the OS, once they eventually drop Intel support — years down the road.

Considered he pirated Apple's operating system, they owe him nothing. He certainly knew the risks going into this.

What a cynical take on such an inspired quote. Adults need hope too. And the first step of becoming a helper is often to look for them.

"Look for the helpers" wasn't just a quote meant for children. He repeated it many times, including in this interview clearly aimed at an adult audience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LGHtc_D328

Part of the brilliance of Fred Rogers was his ability to impart deeply profound life lessons in terms small children could understand. But that doesn't mean adults can't learn a lot from his lessons as well.

Reminds me of this story about Bill Atkinson at Apple, submitting a negative 2,000 lines of code report to his manager. https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Negative_2000_Li...
