I can only speak for my culture so thank you for the perspective and insights on yours. Just checked and it seems like bananas are 27.5% cheaper in Brazil than America. Chicken fillets are a shocking 71% cheaper! I'm sure I'm not taking a lot of things into account here like the average income levels, but still, that's crazy.
Yes, but that’s an incomplete view on the obesity epidemic in the West, imo. It’s not just that there’s “more access to calories,” it’s that access to healthy foods is getting more difficult for a large portion of the population. People working multiple jobs don’t have time to cook a complete, nutritious meal. Also, due to our ever-increasing wealth inequality, it’s harder for people to afford healthy food. A whole chicken, a vegetable, and a starch will always cost more than getting something at Wendy’s. Similarly, a jar of jelly is cheaper and lasts longer than a box of strawberries.
What you're describing is a state of flow which is good for things like work but the article seems to be talking about time metaphorically.
For example, imagine you're going to your daughter's piano recital and spend the whole time thinking about work. You would be missing out on the experience of watching her perform and grow. If you become mindful of these habits and say "My mind is focusing on something that I cannot change right now, I should be present" then you'll be able to fully experience a moment in your child's life. So rather than feeling like life is passing you by, you're able to experience it in the moment. The surrounding sentences of the line you quoted don't read like the author's describing time like you are:
"But in this process, we must remember something important: life is not meant to be rushed through. It is not a race, nor is it a problem to be solved. It is an experience to be lived, and living well requires presence. ... Moments become rich, textured. Even the simplest of tasks takes on a new significance when approached with care, with attention."
Thank you for this, I've wanted to do genetic testing for years but don't want it to be stored on anyone's server. Can you explain how it's not stored on any server? Like, you're downloading the .BAM file from Nebula; doesn't that mean they hold onto the data?
It's not really a scam but rather a technology that's still in its infancy. I think of it more like the Palm Treo and Blackberry: they're not great but hopefully we're progressing towards the iPhone. I wouldn't buy one at the moment, though.
This was decided by a Brazilian Supreme Federal Court justice, not Lula da Silva. In fact, the justice was appointed in 2017. Also, the court upheld his decision 2 days ago. Your comment is disingenuous and making this a liberal vs conservative issue when it's actually about X not respecting Brazilian law.
What device is this? I wonder if Pihole could block the ads for you. It was able to completely remove all of the ads on my LG OLED TV and the UI now looks perfect.
Most of Apple's announcements today featured AI but the term wasn't explicitly mentioned. I think the last portion of the keynote that focused on AI was merely for investors tbh
Totally unrelated to the content of your post but labeling posts with "I'm [a teenager] and X" has always irked me. It either serves to undermine the content (older people immediately questioning the authority of a teenager) or people respond with meaningless praise ("Wow, great job! I was playing video games when I was your age!"). It also harkens back to the 2000s and 2010s when the industry was obsessed with "teenage savants" for some reason. So much money was wasted by being thrown at teens due to tech's obsession with youth and the errant belief in its ability to drive innovation.
Your post could have been titled "Show HN: I wrote a guide to help teens learn how to build their own programming language." I dunno, maybe I just need my coffee and I'm being grouchy
If we assume a quarter is 3 months, then there are 60 work days in a quarter. 39/60 is 65% in office. That basically means Dell employees have to be in office 4 out of 5 times a week with a little leeway here and there.
You wouldn’t necessarily get twice the battery life. It could be less than that due to the thinner body causing more heat, a screen that utilizes more energy, etc
I use twitter daily and the site is a shell of its former self. It's slow, prone to bugs, filled with bots, the amount of real users has cratered, user reports go nowhere, there's no support team, the ads are now bot accounts posting crap like "Today is a good day, be sure to make advantageous", there are no new features besides previously in-flight projects pre-Musk, they've actually removed a lot of features (like Circles, block lists, etc), and much more. He took an otherwise functioning social media service and forced it into maintenance mode. He also fired all of the people that keep the user base alive so now it's flooded with bots (which he presumably likes so he can boast about engagement being up). So yes it's still around but it's dying and the skeleton crew he has left can't do anything.
In other words, he destroyed it.
> There is literally 0% chance that literally everybody related to Superchargers was fired. There is 0% chance that the whole maintenance organization was fired.
The only sources we have say they fired the entire division. Sure, we can wait for the dust to settle before conclusively saying what happened but "literally 0% chance" is objectively wrong.
The Supercharger program is arguably Tesla's most valuable asset, though. Arguing that they're "under preforming" and therefore deserved a mass firing is unbelievably shortsighted. Without the Supercharger network (that was on its way to becoming a US monopoly), there isn't much differentiation between Tesla and other EVs beyond brand recognition and largely controversial design decisions.
I'd guess he's right. No one outside of Apple knows more about the inner-workings of the M series than Hector. For those that don't know, he's the main contributor and lead of Asahi Linux.
Honest answer: it's where my friend group's group chat lives. I miss a lot of conversation if I'm not in it. To be fair, I've blocked 235k+ Blue accounts so my experience is actually a lot better than most users.

According to the README, it runs natively on ARM but it looks more like a program than an OS. So I'm sure it can be updated to run on Android or iOS if the GUI code is rewritten with their respective frameworks but making a bootable OS seems more difficult. The author wrote an article last year about making it a bootable OS by using a barebones x86 kernel and QEMU so I'm sure it could probably be repurposed for ARM devices. [1]
I dunno, I have an extreme command of my platform's framework and I'd guess that 85% of the time I've asked GPT-4 for help has been a waste of time. I think it's been most helpful in regards to writing regexes but beyond that, it hallucinates correct-sounding methods all the time which leads to _a_lot_ of wasted debug time before eventually getting to the right answer by Googling what it meant or by manually rewriting large portions of what it meant to do.
It's funny how a year ago I was really excited for how AI can help my everyday coding while fearful that it would replace me. Now I'm not really sure either will happen in the short term.
OP is right that it's not necessarily a _scam_ but is more so deceptive advertising. You're also right that they should just show total cost of your stay rather than the nightly rate pre-fees. It's wild to me that Airbnb hasn't done this because it's one of the worst parts of their service that has pushed me (and others I've talked to) back to hotels.
