Way too simplistic view.

> increase supply

Not necessarily. Supply could stay the same.

> drives down prices

Not necessarily, if raw materials got more expensive.

> The only negatives are on the individual

You might want to have a look at youth unemployment rates. Sometimes, there simply are no jobs: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/unemployment-rate-for-you...

Changing careers reduces your income and your purchasing power. If it happens to too many people at once, standard of living decreases.

You simply neglect demand in your entire argument.

Small feature request: I like the "quiz style" of CC, where it asks me in several tabs about multiple aspects of the prompt. The final step should be:

    Yes, submit answers
    Yes, submit, but add this note: …
    No

Will they be fined? (Probably not)

Will Danes be compensated for the hassle, this causes them? (Probably not)

Will Danes be hassled with GDPR-compliance in every business, school etc. even though the state can't keep records safe? (Probably yes)

Run in sandbox, container, or VM?

Target platform must be updated every year now in August. They started doing this a couple years ago.

Unfortunately, DDG's spam filters are basically useless. I used DDG for many years without !g as well and recently, the first page contains mostly AI generated garbage blogs. Not for every search query, but for example for everything related around the house or garden.

In some way, a "file" dates back thousands of years when ancient civilizations wrote ownership and debt and whatnot on clay slates. Then hundreds of years of paper records. It’ll probably stick around for quite some time.

But only once? They can be dismissed, no?

I don’t see them. Greetings from the EU.

You gotta provide some sources for your Twitter bro science take.

The EU is big enough to have several geographically independent data centers. without leaving the sovereign territory.

What did you do with all the Google Play Credits?

What's the chance that either one of the four bodies crash into another?

Interesting, I think that is a rarer form of synesthesia. There's also /r/Synesthesia/ on Reddit, which has some interesting links.

I'm pretty certain that mine don't come from a calendar, because the colors are a bit odd and Tuesday and Sunday both being black is quite unusual for any calendar.

> Like if it's Monday, do you see light brownish everywhere throughout the day?

No. If I think of Monday, for example when planning the week, there's a color association. It's also not very bright, but more "a feeling of the color". However, the color has been extremely consistent over the years. If I think of October, like "this person's birthday is in October", there's an association with blue. It's not like the word is colored. It's a mixture of the color and an abstract concept of a month. Hard to explain.

> Monday is pronounced "getsuyoubi" - do you see light brownish when I write "getsuyoubi" now?

If I think of the concept of Monday, the language doesn't matter. I'm native German and "Wednesday" and "Mittwoch" have the same color, even though the first letter is different and letters have their own colors. If I see "getsuyoubi", I focus mostly on the first letter "g" and that gives me a sense of a color. But the first letter and the month names or weekday names don't match necessarily.

> If someone asks me to come up with a color for say March, light green comes to my mind instantly - probably because of the association with spring

Maybe the way how that color comes to your mind instantly is comparable, but it's not as straight forward as "summer = bright, winter = dark". Interestingly, the 4 seasons don't have a very strong color association for me, months have a way stronger association. I don't even know where that color association comes from. Since the color palette seems to be limited and rather mute, I don't think it's because of a specific calendar or something I had as a child. I can only say that the colors in my mind are instant and stay stable over years.

Edit: Thinking about it: numbers don't have a strong association either, but ranges do have. Sometimes not very clearly. 0..10 nothing, 10..20 something blackish, 20..30 bright, like my color for March, 30..40 black or dark blue, 40..50 some kind of brownish orange, 50..60 more red, 60..70 white/grey, 70..80 blueish, 80..90 black, 90..100 grey etc.

Color palette is rather limited for all associations. Mostly black, white/silver, dark blue, dark green, yellowish-beige, orange-brownish with some slight variations.

Monday is a light brownish, Tuesday black, Wednesday blue, Thursday ochre, Friday dark blue, Saturday white/silver, Sunday black.

January blue, February brownish, March is black and white, April green, May black, June yellow, July darker yellow, August dark green, September ochre, October blue, November brown, December black.

Thanks for coming to my synesthesia TED talk.

Had them as a kid. A canvas in beige that spanned my whole view and was the entire world. There was an invisible opponent and we played a game. You filled half of the seemingly infinite canvas with black or a dark blue. Then the other person until no beige remained. I always lost.

I’ve been using DDG for a long time now. Results are getting more and more spammy. Way too many AI-generated / scraped websites nowadays.

Thanks, but from the same article:

"First key learning: execution matters far more than stack choice"

which directly translates to: make a great app and nobody cares about the tech and this includes whether or not to use Liquid Glass.

> It is us who are a "special kind of paranoid." Justifiably so, I would contend.

It's not even that. The average HN user would gladly use it even if it was privacy-invading. Just like they use Gmail every day and have no qualms to upload gazillion private docs to OpenAI and Anthropic.

It's just that Facebook isn't cool anymore.

In 10 years? I predict that healthcare, education, legal services and transporation won't change in a meaningful way at all. People will go to a doctor, kids will attend school and aim to graduate, legal services will still be done by lawyers and decided in court. Transportation will still depend largely on what exists right now or is being built right now. There won't be self-driving cars in every city, only in a few, probably more in the US and China, fewer in Europe, probably close to zero in the rest of the world.

And how do you think will the post-scarcity affect the daily lives of most people? My prediction is that most people even in 30 years will still work for a wage, and probably still around 30-40 hours per week, because these gains of post-scarcity won't be distributed evenly. It will mostly make a few people very very rich.

There are more statistical issues. I drew a person from 1984, living in Germany and recalculated their life several times. In almost all cases, their mother died while they were in their thirties, often both parents. This is simply far from reality.

No, it’s to counteract the desire of parents dropping of their kids in front of school with their car and causing traffic jams.

Oh there is always a certain group of users whose posts had weird sentence structure, because they'd press return in a <textarea> after every line.

You can track bounce rate and ad spend in a GDPR-compliant way. What wouldn't work is retargeting individual users via tracking pixels without their consent.

Relative of mine is Swiss. They produce cookies for the US market. Every few years, an FDA-adjacent regulator comes to Switzerland, inspects the place in person, expects dinner, entertainment and whatnot, gives his signature and off he goes. My relative says that no other country they export to overseas is this far-reaching (not to say over-reaching) regulatory-wise.

It works, but regression is broader. If I'm not mistaken, a regression can also happen without human intervention. Verschlimmbesserung is active. Someone actually tried something and made it worse.

Germany: Younger people yes, older people no. They wouldn't know the difference between credit and debit card and everything that looks like a credit card is an invention from hell and instant debt-spiral to them.

It also has more bots than before, even though Musk promised to get rid of them.
