Roald Dahl, perhaps? Humorous, popular, all characters terrible.

The causation is the other way. High energy prices have made wind and solar more viable.

Being one of the earlier things to catch is what makes it a classic.

  1. Set up a bot that runs on every new comment on a PR
  2. The bot comments something on that PR

Doesn't have to be more advanced than this to get an infinite loop if you don't build anything where it ignores comments from itself or similar.

Previously:

> pretty much the second or third step is "Huh, probably this shouldn't be able to reply to itself, then it'll get stuck in a loop". But that's hardly a "classic CI bug",

If I've previously misunderstood your point, copy pasting it doesn't clear anything up, no..?

I don't see why it's not a "classic CI bug". It's an easy trap to fall into, and I've seen it multiple times. Same with "action that runs on every commit to main to generate a file and push a new commit if the file changes", that suddenly gets stuck in a loop because the generated file contains a comment with the timestamp of creation.

If you however can go to a polling place afterwards and cast a new vote, that solves that issue, right? And then your mail-in just doesn't count.

But you wouldn't know from reading HN that X, the tech company, has become a shitshow, as all discussions about this are "political" and flagged by users.

In the january archive [0] I can't find this flagged story [1]. Was it already fallen off when flag-killed? Or doesn't it catch these?

So many important tech related debates lately being silenced by mass flagging. Luckily they remain in https://news.ycombinator.com/active

(I feel like "everything" is now "political" and thus not wanted here. Since Musk for instance now is a political figure, one cannot discuss X even when not a partisan topic about X. Or when some guy does big swoops that affect tech world wide, it's also not possible to discuss here. And I miss it, because I think HN is full of great people and I would like your take on these events.)

> In a sense, "everything" is "political", and always has been. It's practically a given, since politics is literally about governing our lives, technical standards, industry regulations, etc. A ton of news, especially that worth discussing, happens within this lens. Now, if, for example, HN allows stories about twitter to be killed opaquely and selectively, this is a political act in and of itself & the selection is telling.

This still does a huge disservice to how the degradation can happen in discussions when now Everything is becoming more political so much so that one side of the party needs to flag what the other party says and this division is running deep creating a large seperation.

basically anything DOGE gets automatically flagged by someone, even though it's very much in the realm of technology. yes it intersects with politics, but most tech discussions do these days

Gopro subreddit daily has people posting issues with their camera complaining about the SD card. In all instances they've bought a "genuine" card on Amazon from the official seller, but probably received a fake one due to commingling.

The brand hit from this must be massive, with the amount of people now avoiding Amazon. But perhaps it won't matter with their size, most people won't have any other options anyways. For me, it was counterfeit dental stuff that made me quit buying from Amazon. A faulty SD card is annoying, stuff I put in my body is no-go.

I have been burned multiple times receiving counterfeit SD cards and USB thumb drives from Amazon. I now only buy those locally at a reputable electronics store. This change by Amazon won’t bring me back, but it’s the right decision nonetheless.

Disagree, no way I'm downloading an executable from something unknown to modify a pdf.

Can't Denmark just stop selling ozempic or so to the US? Would be an uproar in no time.

Eli Lilly has GLP-1 injectables and will have an oral pill this year. Novo Nordisk has already dropped that ball.

Hence Eli Lilly +40% in the last year and Novo -23%. Or on a longer timescale you can see the problem:

https://www.google.com/finance/quote/NVO:NYSE?sa=X&sqi=2&ved...

What should they have done differently to prevent a competitor from entering a valuable market?

"Pricing power fell when someone else entered the market" isn't dropping a ball is why I ask.

I think they meant dropped the ball on oral intake.

Most people probably prefer a pill vs injections with needles.

Novo nordisk's biggest mistake was refusing to create a direct to consumer business. Eli Lilly sells most of their product through their website at large discounts, this superior distribution method is largely how they were able to gain such a large market share. Their product is also better than ozempic, so that definitely helped too. But its not like Novo Nordisk was stuck with ozempic, they couldve developed new advancements as well.

Sure, it could blow up its economy and have the U.S. just switch to the existing domestic alternative, which also appears to be superior (tirzepatide).

Doesn't Ozempic already have competition on the market?

Or ASML devices

Not really, probably a majority of Americans look down on people using Ozempic

To be clear, since I'm past the edit window: I think Ozempic is an amazing drug, it's just unfortunate how popular it is to hate on people for using a drug they need.

My understanding is that the hate is mostly related to influencers selling you weight loss products while hiding the fact they struggled until they found Ozempic, then to a lesser degree some people think it's cheating or w/e.
