This whole explanation smells of "late capitalism". But even so, we have to judge companies ethically, because how else would new regulation be conceived of?

Uber says the majority of drivers don't want this, which I'd call bs on, but has anyone heard from actual drivers what they want?

There is no need for comparison when there is no need for improvement. He is content, he doesn't need anything else. I wish I was that content.

I had such trouble getting Ubuntu to run in 1920x1080 in my VM, which I found absolutely puzzling, but maybe this is because linux people find 16:9 passé.

The best we can do is to do everything we can. It might also be interesting to start burning biomass and capturing the CO2, which would be net negative.

Maybe it's viable for cement production as well.

I guess the low hanging fruit is to attach this to a power plant or some other CO2 emitting process.

I first thought they tested live sharks, which would mean they came from above, abducted them, probed ther eyes before releasing them.

Cool, I saw your site in the new page.

Do you have an example of what a "next action" could be?

elgfare — Sun, 21 Mar 2021 11:05:09 +0000

Hands down, seeing people face to face. I have really discovered how much it means to me. I have been ambivalent about it because of social anxiety and low self esteem, but I have realized that in reality nothing else comes close in terms of raising my mood and giving me good feelings.

Ask HN: What mobile app framework do I choose for my hobby project?

elgfare — Sat, 06 Feb 2021 18:14:00 +0000

I haven't made an app before, except for dabbling with a native Android app approx 8 years ago. I want to create a sort of tracking app, so I want calendar views, various input forms, and a storage/database of sorts, no animation. This is a hobby project. I just read a few "top 10 app frameworks for 2020" style articles and I really cannot tell any of them apart. Any recommendations?

I'm also on an i5-2500K from 2012, I only upgraded the GPU so far. I recently ordered a new pc for roughly the same price as the one i built in 2012, curious to see how much of a difference I will notice day-to-day.

Not sure if there is any benefit to stripping back to raw radio. You can almost always build on top of other protocols to get a pipe that you can then build your protocol on.

That is, we trust institutions because we trust that the government has our backs if they screw us.

I see what you mean, and when it comes to institutions and government, we are also very trusting.

This rings extremely true for me. I live in Norway, which in my experience is significantly more trusting than most other places, and it's wonderful. We do have other transaction costs though, like a fear of "bothering" each other. Different problem, similar effect.
