Instead of Show HN, it should be Show HN Progress.

And the comments should start with the day/month the project was first launched.

All the models do that. If you tell them to keep it short and to the point, they oblige.

This isn’t a debate floor. People’s lives are being are affected by the minute. A governor is stating what’s going on.

And the opposition is spreading lies.

I adores wondered the same thing for any new breakthrough. I listened to the Eric Schmidt interview on Diary of a CEO regarding this and definitely agree with his reasoning. He basically says the reason new companies get ahead while we wonder why the existing companies who should’ve been doing this stuff are so far behind is because the old companies were also do everything else. He was especially talking in terms of AI and how Google seems behind while OpenAI came out so quickly.

It works wonders on me and family members. Except we just always go for the Neil Med bottles from Costco or Target. They are also easy to disinfect in the microwave.

Always distilled water, though. It’s not worth waiting to boil the water, let it cool down, and then manage the dish used after. It’s also easy to get just the right temperature using distilled water in the microwave.

It’s a package of devices Apple is selling. They sell under powered smaller screen macs. They sell iMacs. They sell small iPads. They sell smaller watches. Some of these just don’t sell as well as their other offerings.

They should sell small phones. Because the whole family will be in on the brand, features, and services. I’ve heard many family members and friends say that they won’t give up their older small phones because Apple no longer makes new ones.

The idea that they don’t sell well is not a good enough reason when you are trying to capture the whole market for not just hardware but the lock in for services, apps, games, music, etc.

I presume if you are caught, the IRS or the court will hold you in the wrong for fraud and tax evasion. Because they get to interpret the law, not you.

If anyone is looking for more in this space with a beautiful design, I’m a huge fan of unwind: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/unwind-guided-breathing/id1470...

Free version is really good. Not sure how it’ll compare to the premium version though.

New comment by iscrewyou in "Hospitals that make profits should pay taxes"

iscrewyou — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 18:08:22 +0000

Great points. But you missed the mark. The discussion is about taxes not if religions should own hospitals. The same poor people you mention have to pay taxes while the religious organizations get special cuts. If we are blind to how profitable and mutually beneficial relationships hospitals and insurance companies have, there is nothing else to discuss.

There are religious organizations that own hospitals. I was flabbergasted when I found out about this recently. My first thought was how they’ve got a perfect system to avoid all taxes.

Edit: it seems like the typical derailment is happening when it comes to religion. The topic is about taxes. I mentioned taxes. Not if religious organizations should own hospitals.

It’s renewed funding. First paragraph:

> Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced renewed funding for the National Alliance for Water Innovation (NAWI), DOE’s energy innovation hub for desalination. With $75 million over five years for this second phase of the Hub, NAWI will continue to bring together a team of industry and academic partners to examine the critical technical barriers and research needed to radically lower the cost and energy of water purification technologies.

It’s cool to crap on Apple and all these days but this is all categorically false. What you are referring to is the Ad on the top of the page. It’s clearly labeled as ad and has a light blue box around the whole ad.

I tried all those things you mentioned and the first result after the clearly labeled ad is what I searched for.

You might know this already but the Photos catalog/photiolibrary is just a folder. You can actually right click and “show package contents”. From there, you can use something like Daisy Disk to display all the files based on their size. A simple drag and drop has worked for me. Once you find the large file, you can search for the name in the photos app. I’ve deleted some quite large videos this way to clear up some space.
