I'm Rebelling Against the Algorithm

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-19 03:45:32

I'm rebelling against the algorithm 14 Jul, 2025 I grew up on the internet. I'm old enough to remember when my news feeds actually ended. Remember the times before infinite scroll was engineered? I remember when algorithms weren't good enough to keep me in a trance-like state for eternity. Fast forward to today, I experience firsthand the horrible effects of the algorithms. We weren't meant to read the thoughts of 100s of people all at once. It's also not possible to fully check out from soci

“For a over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic,” Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Luke Skywalker in A New Hope. In the decades of Star Wars storytelling since, countless tales have fleshed out that connection between the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order’s service of it, from its highest highs to the lows that tore them both apart in the fires of the Empire’s rise.

Key Home Energy Tax Credits End This Year. Act Quickly if You're Considering Solar Panels, Experts Say

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-21 12:15:12

A big federal tax credit for homeowners who get solar panels will end this year, meaning a window for significant savings on going solar is closing fast. The 30% credit has long been the biggest single incentive for residential solar panel adoption, and its expiration is a significant blow for what has been a fast-growing industry. For homeowners, its elimination significantly changes the calculus of whether solar panels make financial sense compared with paying utility electrical rates. "It's

The Big EV Tax Credit Mystery

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-07-22 01:43:37

If you’re thinking about buying an electric vehicle, brace yourself: the federal tax credits that offer up to $7,500 off new EVs and $4,000 off used ones could change as soon as September 30. But here’s the real issue: Nobody knows for sure what happens next. Carmakers, consumers, and even some dealerships have been operating under the belief that a signed contract before September 30 locks in the credit. But now, some automakers are quietly admitting that the IRS has not finalized that rule.

Bandages made of medical waste cost Medicare $10B last year—limits are coming

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-22 05:52:57

Last year, Medicare spent over $10 billion on dubious bandages—called skin substitutes—that come with eye-popping prices. Some are made from medical waste, like dried bits of discarded placentas or infant foreskin, and many have not gone through rigorous testing to prove they offer any advantage over standard bandages. Yet, in some cases, Medicare reportedly paid for bandages priced at more than $21,000 per square inch. And individual patients have quickly racked up bills over $1 million just fo

I put this buzzworthy 2-in-1 robot vacuum to work in my house - here's how it fared

ZDNET's key takeaways The Yeedi S14 Plus is available for a retail price of $1,400, though an introductory offer puts it at $999 for a limited time. The Yeedi is a big upgrade from almost any robot vacuum on the market right now, with 18,000Pa of suction and a self-cleaning mop roller. The S14 Plus doesn't have a detergent dispenser, its obstacle avoidance could be better, and it has an odd plastic smell (though that could be my unit). $1,399.99 at Amazon I've been testing what is decidedly t
