zenmaster10665··on 3D Pinball for Windows (1995)
oh man i love this game thanks...why no scoreboard tho?!
zenmaster10665··on Updates to Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy
it seems really badly designed or maybe it is meant to be confusing. It does not make it clear that the two are linked together, and you have to "accept" the both together even though there is only a toggle on the "help us make the model better" item.
zenmaster10665··on Satya Nadella on knowledge work
I don't read this as him saying it will become factory work... He is saying that the work flows will change, like lean changed factory work. This seems like a misinterpretation of the interview?
zenmaster10665··on Meta prohibited from monitizing youth data
Anyone know the technical details?
zenmaster10665··on Game of Life, simulating itself, infinitely zoomable
Wow that is so cool. Fractal game of life! Is this just a very specific configuration that repeats in a fractal way?
zenmaster10665··on 29M-year-old grasshopper nest found intact with eggs, study says
I thought this was a 29 year old Male grasshopper...time for bed.
zenmaster10665··on SpaceX Valuation Climbs to $180B
Come on. Damaged global psyche? Seems a bit hyperbolic and unsupported by evidence.

The addressable market of rockets is considerably smaller than the addressable market selling ads... So there you go.

zenmaster10665··on Threads has "just under" 100M monthly active users
One property in a list of other properties. It is all a balance of attention.
zenmaster10665··on Threads, an Instagram app
some form of interoperability is already happening for some of those data types (or at least starting with portability). See the Data Transfer Initiative (dti.org)

The issue is that forced interoperability will lead to platforms creating an interoperable (and less fully-featured) version of their app to suit the regulations.

I do think that interop is important, but I think it is a harder problem than most people think.

zenmaster10665··on Threads, an Instagram app
The issue with this theory is that there is no obvious way to have both deep interoperability between apps as well as innovation.

Interoperability is a contract,and that contract will slow down product evolution and lead to worse consumer products.

zenmaster10665··on The entire finance industry will repeat this quote for a thousand years
yeah, bro.
zenmaster10665··on Supreme Court rules Andy Warhol’s Prince art is copyright infringement
There is a wider relevance here to AI, is there not? 'prior art' could be broadly interpreted?
zenmaster10665··on FTC Proposes Blanket Prohibition Preventing Facebook from Monetizing Youth Data
Right, so how do small business reach consumers?

Enjoy all the viagra ads!

zenmaster10665··on FTC Proposes Blanket Prohibition Preventing Facebook from Monetizing Youth Data
This is just more unworkable bullshit from the FTC...really looks like a vendetta at this point...
zenmaster10665··on Meta Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results
It isnt meant to support the stock, it is a compensation pool.
zenmaster10665··on Meta Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results
It's also about aligning employee incentives with company success
zenmaster10665··on Meta Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results
People forget that stock buybacks also create a pool of equity for employee compensation, it isn't just about returning capital tax effectively
zenmaster10665··on Meta Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results
Huh? I think you are confused.

People forget that stock buybacks also created a pool of equity for employee compensation, it isn't just about returning capital tax effectively.

zenmaster10665··on Putin’s Energy War with Europe Seems to Falter
They doubled as the UK is part of the wider market, so subject to market forces due to the way it is structured... In this situation, green energy producers are also getting a significant boost as their energy is very low marginal cost of production and commands the same rate as fossil fuels. Hopefully that is at least some silver lining... Maybe we could tax the fossil fuel companies and support the UK taxpayers rather than laying down more debt in the form of taxpayer loans.
zenmaster10665··on Show HN: I may have created a new type of puzzle
Yeah this is fun and simple. Nice work!!
zenmaster10665··on Sheryl Sandberg stepping down as Facebook COO
Isn't this the same argument as 'we have telephones. Why do we ever need to see the people on screens, isn't voice enough?'

Feeling truly present with someone isn't possible in 2d

zenmaster10665··on My students cheated... a lot
I am surprised that harvesting quiz questions would be considered cheating?
zenmaster10665··on Astronomers reveal first image of the black hole at the heart of our galaxy
this guy astronomies.
zenmaster10665··on Facebook paid Republican strategy firm to malign TikTok
Well there we go... Last one turn out the lights, this guy has solved it.
zenmaster10665··on Delta CEO wants U.S. to put unruly passengers on 'no-fly' list
He didn't interfere or disrupt the flight operations through unruly behaviour. He didn't assault, threaten, intimidate or interfere with anyone. This was all on video...United were in the wrong.

That is why they settled the suit - and why the rules were changed!

It amazes me that people think this is ok - and that David Dao was somehow in the wrong here.

zenmaster10665··on Delta CEO wants U.S. to put unruly passengers on 'no-fly' list
What I learned here is that there are a lot of people in HN that think the airlines have some sort of ultimate rights. That isn't true, and they are ignorant of the facts... Who knew HN was full of airline shills!

zenmaster10665··on Delta CEO wants U.S. to put unruly passengers on 'no-fly' list
Again... People seem to be making their own rules for a stitation that the DOT already calls out

>Generally, no. If you have met the following conditions, airlines are not allowed to deny you permission to board, or remove you from the flight if you have already boarded the flight: You have checked-in for your flight before the check-in deadline set by the airlines; and A gate agent has accepted your paper boarding pass or electronically scanned your boarding pass and let you know that you may proceed to board

That is pretty clear, so you can stop making up stuff for the sake of an invalid argument.

zenmaster10665··on Readable Recipes
Nice... This is cool. I really don't understand how recipe sites are so terrible... Why have they settled into that equilibrium?
zenmaster10665··on Can Data Die? Tracking the Lenna Image
no - a file format (or something else) that enforces rights of the owner of the data.
